Static site generators are an interesting case, which can go either way.

Because the site is static, but the creator still wants to be interactive, you tend to get a lot of JavaScript dependencies that fire off a bunch of 3rd party requests instead.

The resulting mess can be much heavier.

Health, physical attractiveness and intelligence are the obvious ones. We already know many genes that are associated with cancer and other illnesses, so screening for those and discarding embryos could already be done with today's technology. I suspect eye, hair and skin color aren't very difficult either. Seeing how popular skin bleaching products are I could see many parents paying money for lighter offspring. Intelligence is more difficult as you already said, but as we get better at reading the genetic code, that'll become possible as well. If this kind of genetic engineering became legal and socially accepted, there surely would be a lot of money for researching these kinds of things.

Obamacare does in fact solve both these problems.

Is a person who is unaware of Obamacare after many years (and unable to adapt to changing conditions with years of warning) really a plausible startup founder?

Nope, it's also better for the vast majority of medicine. Have you ever used Mexican private healthcare? I have! Customer service and convenience is through the roof compared to US healthcare.

> I rest my case.

Not a very good case!

The reason you wouldn't want to get complicated surgery in Mexico is that they don't have as many medical specialists, or as much equipment. The US is richer and has better schooling, so we have a huge supply of experts and medical technology. For the cutting edge of medicine, the benefit of having this outweighs the costs of receiving care in the US.

However, almost all medicine is simple and doesn't require a particle accelerator or superconductors or whatever else you can find in cutting-edge American medicine.

Yeah, I just do everything in ES5. Although grunt-concat is beautiful... I no longer have to work with 1,000+ lines of JS in one file (or deal with the overhead of importing a laundry list of .js files). I just have it 'watch' a folder for file changes, and it re-generates the concatenated file automatically... so I can pretty much go hog-wild with chopping up my JS into files. I was very resistant to NPM/grunt/etc., but it's such a quality-of-life improvement, I can't go back.

I've always thought that Javascript makes up for its lack of compile-time guarantees with compensating tooling.

For example, it's common to use Flow with Javascript to enable static type checking before actually running it.

The language itself doesn't guarantee type safety, but when used with peripheral tooling, the developer isn't missing too much.
> implicit type conversion

Yes, defenitely one of the biggest problems. However, after switching to === and never using == again, I've found that it's easy to avoid implicit conversions and I haven't had a problem with it in years. I totaly agree they should remove implicit conversions from javascript by yesterday, though.

> but at the core the language was never meant to be code more than 100 lines or so of code.

You're right, public stocks are liquid and I meant cash equivalent.

There's a lot of variance on how much is recommended in an emergency fund. Most seem to say 3-6 months. I know if I lost my job I could cut down my living expenses and stretch it out. But if I had to move for a job, had an extended gap, or had to take a lower paying job I might have to dip into those investments prematurely. Having to cash out at the bottom of the market burns years of investments where it would have been better if you just held onto cash even if your interest rate is a pittance. Just like putting money into 401k is more than negated if you have to cash out early.

Everybody has different risk tolerances and the amount needed in an emergency fund varies depending on a bunch of things (if you have debt, variety of incomes vs a single paycheck, gap between expenses and earning). I've never seen anyone actually do a study or source why they chose 3-6months--so it's really hard to argue for or against. I'd be curious if anyone has done a study.

It hurts to have money just sitting there, but I'm not trying to eek out every penny. I really don't think all those extra risks are worth it. Keep your living expenses low and it won't be that much money ;)

There are a few problems with this explanation:

1. FDR did not propose a wage cap until 1942, 3 years after the Great Depression had ended. It was a temporary wartime fundraising effort (and was quite popular with the public). In fact, health insurance really first came into existence during the Great Depression (mostly to ensure physicians and hospitals got paid).

2. FDR's wage cap did not pass.

What actually happened was the passing of the the Stabilization Act of 1942, which gave FDR a power (that he invoked) to freeze wages and salaries during the war. The freeze was deeply unpopular with the labor movement, who threatened mass strikes. As a compromise, congress exempted health insurance (and other benefits like PTO and pensions) from the freeze.

This was certainly a contributing factor (proportion of US population with healthcare roughly doubled from 1940 to 1945), but ignores the other factors that prompted the rise of employer sponsored healthcare. Indeed, by 1945, less than a quarter of Americans had health insurance.

Rather, the two largest contributors to employer-sponsored health insurance was the demand of health coverage by labor unions and the 1954 legislative change that made health insurance tax exempt.
The Achiness of the Long Distance Runner
I personally find Indian capitalistic medical care equivalent to the US. Under most circumstances (i.e., I don't need a super specialist who happens to be located elsewhere) I'll always choose to have work done here in India.

I've made this choice before and never regretted it. You can read about a description of my spine surgery if you like:

https://www.chrisstucchio.com/blog/2015/medical_tourism.html

Similarly, I messed up my wrist a month ago while I was in the US. I waited until I got to India to even bother with a doctor - too much hassle in the US ("no I don't want narcotics, just tell me how to fix it") whereas over here I just swiped a credit card. Unlike in the US, I even knew the price before I bought services!

(Any doctor/hospital who won't tell you the price will get no business - that's capitalism + cost conscious consumers for you.)
> I think it's unfair to force people to subsidize the healthcare of other people, regardless of the mechanism used.

This is literally car insurance in the United States. You buy insurance, put money up front for your own health, or risk paying a penality. It's also literally the ACA.

> If let health insurance companies do this, then yes, healthcare would get substantially more expensive for very risky/unhealthy people.

Unaffordable. My mother in law died from cancer recently. Coverage was impossible before; in America's free market that constantly pays out dividends. The ACA was the first time any insurance was affordable.

Thanks for your honest feedback, much appreciated. Usually each team member knows the plan, and what should be finished and when. We have the right tools to generate reports and KPIs but the issue in software development is that things change easily, for example:

a. on a specific day, the expectation is to finish task A, but then, the engineer discovered that it depends on unplanned task B and now we need to finish B before being able to complete A and deploy it.

b. an engineer is working on a specific task, and he's investing a lot of time and effort but it was not finished on time because the actual plan didn't work out and needed additional time.

That's why it's kind of hard to manage output alone.

your example at the beginning was excellent, can you give me more details to how you like to be managed in terms of output? if you have a place where I can read from would be awesome.
