I can't speak for everyone else, but the two reasons that were holding me back as an employee of a large corporation instead of starting my own company were employer-provided healthcare and visa restrictions at the moment. This measure would have eliminated one of those major constraints.
That'd be me... Though with the caveat that my parser (part of this project[1] ) still has fairly substantial gaps, so it will grow, but certainly not to the size of MRI's parse.y.

It's actually worse these days it turns out parse.y for Ruby is 11348 lines [2], though for fairness it's worth noting that it's written in a quite "linefeed heavy" style, and this includes providing a Ruby API to the parser.

Great, you can opt in to that, but don't force everyone else who doesn't agree with you to subsidize everyone else's poor decisions
>> it's very hard to make such a logistics business work in the last mile because it's so inefficient. grocery stores know this, which is the reason they are reluctant to implement such services themselves

Home delivery has been a standard offering from all major supermarkets in the UK for 5-10 years now. It's available in built-up areas and cities, as well as rural villages. They are able to do next-day delivery and give you a 1 hour delivery window. Groceries are the same price and delivery ranges from £1-5 depending on the delivery window you select. I really don't see how Instacart could compete with that if Wallmart and the others start to offer it in the US.
Because until recently I was an H1B holder and was specifically ordered to not take part in any protest as part of the fine print in the visa. One of the luxuries granted to a green card holder is the privilege to protest (and fund politicians.). Also, immigrants (green card or not) may not "undermine the US government", whatever that means. This is attested to during the immigration interviews.
Any source of the actual article?
> Sure, you think it's expensive, but the demand is still there, people are willing to work for (net of costs) less than they currently are. That supports the claim that the service is priced above the market clearing level.

* There are more people who apply for publicly-funded GME every year than there are positions available, yes.

* However, almost nobody (roughly speaking) applies for self-funded residency positions (which do exist).

I don't know how those two facts combine to say that "the demand is there" - there is not excess demand at market-clearing rates. There is only excess demand at a subsidized rate. People are not willing to work for less than they currently are; the supply is highly substitutable, and we're already seeing the effects of that.
Hi..thanks for your thoughtful and rounded reply.

A couple of points I want to address:

1. I don't think women's empowerment has anything to with ability to have kids or the ability to have the choice to do so. Since aeons, women not only have always had reproductive control but until recently were also able to pick the genetic contributor of their offsprings..and even go as far to conceal the identity of the father.

When I started researching old herbal books, there were so many ways women were able to claim their bodies that are simply lost to them in this day and age.

Secondly: we have a population of about 8 million now. The future is very crowded. To bring us to a comfortable carrying capacity, it will take 4-5 generations of draconian population control.

When I was younger, I studied in school about how women's education and empowerment would increase their opportunities in the world and how their reproductive window in time would shrink to fit in other enriching aspects of living.

And yet, population increased.

Even as more women enter the workforce, the biggest gripe is lack of child care or time off after child birth or not being able to compete with men because their having to be caregivers works against them.

This tells me that getting into workforce doesn't stop women from having children that they might have had if they weren't economically empowered.

If anything, employed women are forced to be 'super moms' saddled with guilt and high child care bills and a lot of other baggage. It tells me that empowerment must be decoupled from childbearing role of women.

Neither should be used to define how a woman feels.

Having said that(and as a woman), there is a certain biological imperative most women feel to be mothers. I don't think this would be changed by education or work or empowerment. To a large extent, it is individual. It is not a right. It is a choice. And all choices we make, we ought to be accountable for..

Next..tech and modern medical advancements have caused women even in their 40s and 50s to have children. Geriatric pregnancies are more common now as are IVF and surrogacy and genetic screenings etc.

I find it very interesting that with all the strides in women's empowerment, reduced mortality, longer life span and many other factors, population and desire to procreate hasn't waned. It tells me that unless having children..or more than one per person(or with a credit system) or incentivizing the childless, population won't hit the brakes.

What certainly doesn't work is subsidizing those who choose to have multiple children. If robots and AI take over mundane jobs and bigger jobs of running our world..if our life spans increases and our cells don't age as drastically, what is the need to keep adding to the world population especially when resources are constrained?

Thanks for your replies and indulging my curiosity re other pov. Regards.

I'm from Australia and here is my pet hate.

Over here we have compulsory Superannuation Funds where 9-10% of your salary is deposited into your superannuation fund of your choice. Although you cannot access the superannuation fund until you turn 80, and this figure keeps getting pushed back. The business tax rate is 30%, and also employee tax rate for me is 25-27% of my income goes into income tax.

We get shoved down our throat's that we shouldn't be a burden on the tax payer, and will have to provide for our own retirement using our own superannuation funds. Well at the same time being faced with the following situation.

27% of the wages go into tax.
9% of the wages go into superannuation fund for retirement.
2% is the medicare levy that you have to pay per year.
5% or $70 per week for Private Health insurance or you get health insurance loading after 30 years old that accumulates 2% per year.

Then we're faced with a situation where housing is 8-9 times medium income in this country.

So in summary, you're faced with indirect costs to about 43% of your gross income. So take my situation for example 85000+(85000*0.09) gross income the take home at the end of the year is 52,810.5.

Considering a house is now 8-9 medium income, this comes to $680,000 for a average 3 bedroom house. Using a full time income to pay that mortgage @ 4.5% PA ($96 going to fees and associated council rates) weekly repayment of $919 this will take ~ 23 years to pay the mortgage off with the total cost of the loan being $1,086,386, and total interest payable. $406,386.

So fast forward, forward 23 years I'm 58 with $175,950 in the super fund. Assuming a 3% growth of the value of the house, it would be now worth $1,382,299.

The only realistic option for the remainder is to save for the next 20 years until I can access the superannuation (if its around)

$344,250 in super payments
$1,284,081 in savings,
$2,496,588 house value at the time of retirement and medium wage would be ($277,398)

So what does this say about the Australian economy? Well everyone is banking their house will pay for their retirement that they would draw down on in later years. If by any chance house prices go through a major correction here the whole system will be thrown into a massive shit storm.
It seems to work okay for the most part, and the population of Australia is much smaller than that of California so I don't believe it would be impossible to do by itself. There are always political discussions in the background about changes to cost or services, but it has a high level of public support across the spectrum of politics, which helps.

The main thing to consider is that the tax base is much different from the U.S. There is an across the board GST which is managed federally, so no local/state options. The income tax overall is higher, though the part that is earmarked specifically for healthcare is only a small percentage of overall income tax. This means that general revenues make up a larger portion of funding than it would appear from a single item on your paystub.

Also, the pricing for public health services is heavily regulated, though there are completely private hospitals and clinics that are separate from that system. Ambulance is also separate from the system, which means either a local tax in some areas or you would need to pay for insurance coverage.

Overall, patient cost is lower, but take-home pay is also lower. Also, I don't believe you can make a sustainable public system without also having a large number of regulated "public" clinics and hospitals. If done correctly, I believe there would be alot of buy in from doctors and other professionals who are just as tired of dealing with the payment headaches as patients are. But you have to get alot of buy in from both them and patients to make it work, and you need an option for people who want to pay for their own "cadillac plans" if you want to keep insurance companies and the very wealthy from getting upset at the effect on choice and lifestyle.

California has had a bumper crop in terms of tax revenue

... but is outspending even that! There was a "surprise" extra $1.9 billion deficit hit from Medi-Cal last fiscal year[0] (which should tell you something about the government's inability to track or control spending), and an overall budget deficit is projected for the current year.

And this doesn't even count the huge infrastructure deficiencies and deferred maintenance.

How many Americans do you think get to go and get their cancer treated at Memorial Sloan Kettering?

The US private health care system doesn't mean everyone who gets cancer goes to MD Anderson. And, you'd still be very hard pressed to have many private insurance plans cover truly experimental treatments. If I had to choose who gets advanced treatments between those who can pay the most vs those who need it the most I'd go with the latter.

It's funny, many of my Canadian friends talk about the "you can't get the best treatment in the world" problem with their system which, to me, shows how they really don't understand the dire nature of US health care. Wait a year for a surgery? Millions of Americans can only go to emergency rooms.
Mostly because the cost of drugs isn't dominated by manufacturing costs the way it is with electronics. The vast majority of the cost of a drug is in the development of it. Further, of the costs for developing it, the cost is split fairly evenly between paying for the skilled researchers who actually do the development, and the administrative costs of testing and certification. As for the actual production of the finished drug, that is off-shored for savings, but since most of the cost of the drug is actually going towards offsetting the massive piles of money poured into researching and developing not just that drug but to offset the costs of all the failed drugs, reducing the actual production cost barely moves the needle.

The above is of course talking about newly developed drugs. There is however a rather disturbing recent predatory practice some drug manufacturers have started to engage in of either purchasing an existing drug and jacking up the price if they're the sole manufacturer, or else making a trivial change to an existing drug and then re-releasing it at massively inflated price. In either case the effect is the same, they're selling a drug that has no appreciable research costs associated with it, just the manufacturing price, but they're continuing to charge as if they were having to offset the research costs and they get away with it because that's what people are used to.
All of the participants in this study were over the age of 65. I'm curious what the effects of fasting would be for someone younger? I'm 26 and want to do everything I can to improve my lifespan. Most longevity research seems to target older generations.

Do I have to starve myself now or is there an age where the benefits really start to kick in?
Per capita GDP matters more in determining whether Vermont or California can better afford this. In fact, CA can better afford this than Vermont.

By comparison, Mississippi cannot afford this. They're basically supported by states like California; their economy is trivial and they're propped up by defense spending.

As is often the problem with npm, the question is "which one"?

Whilst I would lean towards the one from jedisct1 because I know they maintain the C version, I can't expect an average developer to know that.

Edit: Typing
You just treat them like anyone else and the cost gets rolled into the cost of coverage for everyone. Hospitals and ERs are already required to treat people who come in regardless of whether they are legal/illegal or have/don't have insurance. So... we pay for their (and citizens who can't afford their coverage) care anyways. With single payer that cost would just be spread across everyone in the state rather than spread across only people with insurance.
The specs are nice. . . .until I saw the price. Holy Jesus, 4500 for a laptop!

I can't justify that as a chef, what about you devs?
Well, yeah, we aren't really disagreeing then.
To the contrary, far more people get access to the drug in question.

There are plenty of drugs you can get in the US that single payers systems simply won't cover. The Cancer Fund in the UK is a great example. NHS said "nope too expensive" to several drugs so unless the Cancer Fund pays for it, you're SOL. That's how single payer systems save money.

That's why pointing to the superior overall life-expectancy in other countries is part of the argument.

Life expectancy is a very blunt tool when you're looking at level of healthcare. There is too much intra-country variability.

The best way I've found to introduce the concept of recursion is to explain it like trying to escape from a maze. Suppose at your starting position you have 3 possible corridors to try, in search of the exit. You mark your current position (using bread crumbs or whatever), then try each corridor. If the corridor is a dead end you return to where you left the bread crumb and try another corridor. If one of the corridors leads you to a room with yet more corridors, you leave another bread crumb to mark your position, and then recursively try each of those corridors. Each time you hit a dead end, you'll be able to back track to the last crumb you left. Eventually, you'll find a corridor that leads to the exit. (At that point the metaphor breaks a little because stack unwinding would require you to go back and clean up all your crumbs, but whatever. Maybe a better metaphor would be collecting some items from all the corridors in the maze, and bringing them back to your starting position.)

> having them in your lap during a conference call is over the line imo.

You do understand that sometimes the alternative to the kid sitting quietly in their parent's lap is the kid screaming their head off on the other side of the home office door, right?

Personally, I'll take the kid sitting in the parent's lap as being the lesser by far of two annoyances, thanks.
And course no one should be disqualified. I don't think premiums would skyrocket, because as a major break with Obamacare, this is only enough for basic insurance.

Frankly, that's all we could possibly afford as a country. And maybe not even that.

The Obamacare concept of the young subsidizing the old via the individual mandate actually works in this scenario, because the young will all have insurance.
I really can't tell if this is satire. But either everyone is in on the joke and out to get naive people like me (in that case, well played) or Hacker News does not seem to think so.

I don't think there is one single use case, on any scale, anywhere in the world, where saving up to 17% on a minimized css file before gzip would matter in the slightest, let alone while adding 20mins to your build cycle :)
That's kinda true, but (regularization aside) for standard loss functions it's minimized at the point it's well calibrated, right? Given the scores in the image (97% animal, 90% tiger, etc) they seem to be binary classifiers e.g. "is this a tiger?" So of all scores in the neighborhood of 90%, 90% should be "yes it is," making it a measure of confidence compatible with probability.

Please someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's how it works, just like how logistic regression gives you a probability.
That's the deal with citizenship - we allow you to live with us as long as you pay for other people. In particular, paying for people that don't make good decisions for themselves. Which is fine, since everyone is poorer than someone else.

No one is interested in allowing you to live in a country without paying for it. You live under the permission of others.

Them's the rules - take it or leave it.
> Using force / aggression (aka the government forcing you to do something) is a violation of your most fundamental rights, and strips you of your agency and dignity as a human being.

This is completely wrong. You have no rights except those guaranteed you by your fellows in a collective agreement. 'Rights' are exactly those things that the collective threatens us against violating in others.

Consider: if it's up to me to violently defend my 'rights' individually, then I am free to decide literally anything is my right. But the things your neighbors will fight others for on your behalf, these are your rights.

> the truth is that nobody is in a better position to determine how your income should be spent than you

Also plain wrong. How much of your income would you have chosen to spend on network protocol research in the late 1970s? Or on growing mold in dishes in 1910? We are much better at these decisions collectively.
Tennessee has no income tax, so I'll gladly take 9.46% sales tax and no income tax over California's 8.48% sales tax plus 1% - 13.3% income tax.
The place that stores and manages your passwords for things like financial institutions has the right to decide if they would prefer a higher level of security.

> If I go to the corner shop and get a sandwich I have no idea what's in it and there is no accurate way to estimate.

uh, why not? i'll do it right now for you off the top of my head, which anyone can do after they look them up for a while.

100g of white bread = ~ 250 calories /
2 tbsp of mayo = ~ 200 calories /
4 oz of deli turkey = ~ 100 calories /
1 tbsp mustard = ~ 10 calories /
2 slices (2 oz.) of cheese = ~ 240 calories /
2 slices of tomato = ~ 20 calories /
1 slice of lettuce = ~ 5 calories /
1 bag of chips = ~ 280 calories (probably on the bag)

there. 1105 calories total. is that perfect? no, but is that useful? yes, a whole lot more useful than "it's too hard, so i might as well not do it."

as an aside: this is why people are fat. a sandwich and a bag of chips is insulin-spiking can easily be over 1k calories, and most people would probably guess it's 300 calories, and 'not fattening', whatever that means.

I'm not arguing that people in the US don't get care, I'm arguing that if you want to cut healthcare spending in the US (to match other countries) people will have to get used to a lower level of healthcare.

> After all, lawn/cleaning/etc. services have long been a thing. So are babysitters, taxis, etc.

With the exception of taxis, those have traditionally been cash (i.e. untaxed) businesses with no middlemen and long-term relationships. They're "I'm too rich to be bothered," but also "I've been paying you to mow my lawn for years." The new insta-serf companies break this relationship and take a big cut to pay six-figure salaries to a handful of techies.
Possibly, yes. I just assume it's the government because from the articles I've read, they have the most motive (they want to pass some sharia law corporal punishment bills, and this Christian pastor dude was influential and opposed to it).

Eh, I'm kinda skeptical education is the issue. Most people are exposed to the basic ideas of calories, most processed foods (and lately, most restaurants) have calories printed in relatively easy to find places, and with a little practice, guesstimating your calorie consumption is pretty easy even if your not exact.

It's just mentally hard to do. Like sleep, sex and other physical needs, food is wired pretty deeply in our heads, and changing our behavior in regards to it takes a lot of mental and emotional effort. And most people have a lot of other things more immediately important in their lives that take mental effort, so they eat more than they should, even if they know the consequences.
