Spending even more is whats unsustainable you can't keep spending more and more money in a single payer system as it will either affect other areas or you will have to tax the citizens even more. There is a limit to that.

If you get more and more treatments available and what people consider being part of healthcare and you are running a cost center then your system gets more and more expensive.

No enough here is meant as there will always be things you can spend to make your system better than it is. It's not a matter of opinion it's a matter of what kind of treatments are available compared to how many you can offer.

The single payer system is also denying treatment exactly because it can't pay if everyone used it. It's just another way to say some people don't matter enough.

In the UK system is also deciding which drugs it will prioritize and which it wont.

You are mixing two things together. Yes there are plenty of issues with the US system but the single payer system have issues too and they are not the same.

Belgium is pretty fair. NL requires you to pay between 100 and 150 euros per month or so (kids are free) and that covers everything, the rest is paid from the tax base so you already pay the income dependent part. The only bit that's nasty about it is the deductible, they really screw the poor people on that because of course only the cheap plans have high deductibles so those that can afford the least will end up with the highest costs when something does go wrong.

>Remember, that both the far left and the far right are dangerous. For all the talk currently about fascism, it was Communism in the 20th century that produced the most death, suffering, and misery.

The idea that regimes claiming to be Communist or even Socialist killed many does not lend credibility to your claim that the far-left is dangerous; you seem to be taking issue more with the tactics that were employed, and furthermore teetering on the edge of a 'golden middle' fallacy - of course the extremes are dangerous, we should just stay in the middle which has always been fine, right?

Centrism has this strange tendency to throw out valid complaints from either "side" (if we really must classify political thought into left and right) in favor of maintaining the status quo. Centrism supports capitalism, which is why as a Communist I'm against it.

> Cash better be faster or your cashier is incompetent.

A lot of processing time of cash transaction goes into a customer opening his wallet, counting bills, searching for a change to match the amount so that he gets a solid bill instead of coins, same goes for cashier, he/she has to calculate first, double check it by counting again in front of customer. So I am sorry ,but I disagree that even back in the days it was faster to pay with cash vs today's credit cards

Thanks for the extra info. It's almost worth a whole 'nother thread on the pros/cons of the GED and other high-school equivalency programs. Economics Nobel laureate James Hickman has done some big studies here.

If I remember right, he found that the GED was a good way of recognizing sound minds that had been too stormy to finish high school (prison population in particular), but that the social issues that limited some high-school dropouts' opportunities did not go away with this new certificate.

In the spirit of OP's main argument, there's room for a lot of cheaper/faster alternatives to college, especially for a lot of middle-skill positions. I like that part of the argument a lot. I'd just urge that we think harder about ways of helping candidates master the social/interpersonal skills that affect long-term success and employability. For now, it feels as if a face-to-face component is needed, too, beyond the technical skills that can be conveyed online.
Especially since SVGs are not hinted for small sizes (AFAIK).

This is true, but the situation is no different with the main raster image formats either, and the solutions are the same either way.

I'm not even sure if SVGs are rendered equally at the pixel level on all render engines.

They certainly aren't. You're programming a graphic and then whatever rendering stack is available on the user's device will render it as an on-screen image. The quality of that render, for example when it comes to gradients or anti-aliasing, is environment-dependent.

Although my linking to the old version was an accident, it's interesting that a) the old version explicitly says it's “for IDN”, and b) the characters used in this particular attack were already listed then.

Here's a report of this attack from 2002, emphasising that it really isn't a new problem. Why on earth haven't the domain registrars acted? Or if they have, what went wrong in this case?

Those seem important as well, but from my memory, weren't really differentiators after 1994 or so. I don't think the war was really over at that point.

I do remember having a much easier time getting Linux to work on various PCs than either Minix, FreeBSD, or NetBSD in the mid 90s. If I could pick all the components by hand, it wasn't an issue. But all that stuff was expensive, so Linux won out for me early because it mostly worked with whatever pile of motherboards, UARTS, used NICS, hdd driver boards, video cards, sound cards, etc, I had laying around.

And as it happens, I had some influence on corporate decisions sometime after all that. I knew that BSD was better in many ways. But I was also more comfortable/familiar with Linux.
After reading the article, I am really curious how these could work.

I know a couple of radiologist so I know what they are doing and there is nothing in there that won't be possible for a AI to deal with.

The reasons why it isn't being used instead of doctors are mostly political, institutional and human. First doctors will use them as assistants then they will be doing all the work.

But when it comes to actually detecting the patterns which is exactly what a radiologist trains to learn computers are not only better at finding the problems they also find much subtler and thus more early stage signs.

Some people in collage with collage degree have wage growth, you go ask your friend who studied english literature when they last had a pay-rise.

The original claim was that collage meant more use of brain thus better job security.

Thats simply wrong on both accounts.
I think it's important to keep in mind that this is NJ.com (I used to work there!) and their audience (people in New Jersey) is very well defined. Their audience knows exactly what the article is talking about. Every once in a while they have a breakout article like this. They're closely associated with Newark and the Star-Ledger, and I wouldn't be shocked to learn out that the article was tailored to spur discussion over the merits of Italian vs. Portuguese bakeries Since Newark has a large, and more recent, Portuguese-American population.
That's unfortunate.

Because a workplace is fundamentally different. In the US an employer can fire an employee for any reason, they also have no obligation do to fire any given employee for their views. It's kind of a moot point.

You know a lot of people who have worked with Nazis? If you do I feel bad for those people but it doesn't alter my views. Claiming your position is the moral high ground doesn't really lend any credence to your argument.
>Communist societies had less redistribution than many modern social democratic countries and even less than the US.

These were not Communist societies. Arguably the existing Communist societies were those in the form of primitive Communism, existing very long ago. You seem to be taking issue with certain ideas of implementation rather than the ideal itself - that is, a stateless and moneyless society without classes.

What similarities do you think exist between the ideals of fascism and Communism?
We were talking relative to ex. europe. Not some ideological defintion. Then the US isn't a market driven economy.

Thats not a useful way to look at things.
Sure, very few jobs give you the direct day to day skills required to do a job. That's neither the claim colleges are making, nor the primary reason that business require degrees. This feels like pure opinion with almost no evidence to back it up, divorced from reality. The table displaying apparent sub-percent accuracy for the completely subjective (made up) number of jobs requiring degrees is demonstrating this disconnect hilariously.

I've actually tried hiring people with less schooling than college -- has the author? It tends to not work out that well, especially in tech. Programmers with high school diplomas and two year degrees are usually missing all the theory and most of the practical experience you get during a 4 year degree. Not because someone who skips college can't learn these things, and not because they can't get experience or learn on the job, it just so happens that in the real world they usually don't.

One of the biggest reasons that college is a good idea is that someone with a degree in a field related to the job is more often more capable than someone with only a high school diploma. Not always, of course, but statistically more frequently. So who will the employer choose? The college grad is an easy choice. This means getting a degree is simple market competition for employment, and probably won't go away even if people make convincing sounding arguments. Why would employers choose the minimum necessary qualifications if some candidates will do more? Why would people who want good jobs expect to get hired with less experience than others who are applying for the same job? College is something many people are choosing.

jQuery's addClass 'does more', it can also take a callback:

To be fair though, if you believe people from antiquity had some highly problematic views (no doubt), then wouldn't it be easy to extrapolate that people a hundred years from now are going to look on your beliefs in horror? I cant imagine slave owners thought they were bad people either. It's easy to write it off because you'll be long gone, so who cares, but we'd be a much better society if we realized a lot of what we think is fundamentally true tends to historically go in and out of fashion, and the people that are out of fashion tend to have ideas most of us havent heard. Again Im not arguing for his views, Im just saying, the reason we have the concept of logical fallacies (ad-hominem being one of them) is history is long and these ideas have worked well.
Not sure their what their heuristics are for narrowing the search space, but there certainly are some good ones. For instance, early versions of blockchain.info's wallet generated private keys by reading an ARC4 stream that had been seeded with Math.random() calls xor'd with timestamps. Quite the circus!

>militant, centralized, starkly authoritarian governments animated by populist nationalism.

Communism may be militant or pacifistic, i.e via reformism, gradualism or via violent revolution.

Communism is stateless, all powers of the government being transferred to the people.

Nationalism is impossible with Communism, as Communism is the recognition of a global market of the bourgeoisie, which requires workers of the world to unite against it.

Communism is not centralised, at least not necessarily. Distributed economic planning and indeed no economic planning at all are possible varieties.
> Considering they need to answer to, try to communicate with, and rely on, a bunch of Computer execs, and moreover execs primarily interested in the project for financial reasons... that's a list of 17 employees who are at high risk of burning out.

The profile of Jonathan Ive in the New Yorker last year made it pretty clear that he was interested in the car because he hates his car. But tbh: car manufacturers are primarily interested in "financial reasons" for making cars. That's called being in business.

It's interesting that your original premise has now been refuted:

> The only problem is that Apple doesn't have sufficient drive, talent, or reputation, in the auto industry to actually make and sell a good car.
No employee wants to leave Tesla to work at Apple.

Apple demonstrably has talent from around the auto industry, with reputations which suggest they might be capable of building a good car, and people have left Tesla to join them.

So you're now changing your argument to "well maybe they can hire people, have the reputation, have the drive, and persuade consumers that they want to buy a car from Apple, but those employees have to talk to dumb computer execs!"

I must have forgotten all about Elon Musk's background in automotive manufacturing which makes him uniquely equipped to build an electric self-driving car compared to someone like Tim Cook.

Honestly the arguments you're making are so absurd that they border on the infantile.

The line you quote is so annoyingly on target of the stereotypical American cultural bias that it just turns my stomach. Most Christians I have encountered in China (and I mean Chinese, not the typically evangelical American "missionaries) fall into 2 broad groups. People that would be at home in American style "prosperity movement" churches and, to a lesser extent, people that seem a little on the unstable side. The Buddhist, Daoist and generally Confucian flavored traditions seems more like legitimate tradition, not what the article tries to claim.
I assume people thought I was being snide, which I wasn't trying to be. Stallman is totally uncompromising on his principles regarding free software, so if YouTube used any non-free encodings in any of their distribution channels, that would violate his values that he's very explicit about.

To me it looks like we asking young people, in their brightest years (from a neurological point of view) to sit through boring classes, under-qualified teachers, just so that afterwards they'll have proven themselves able to stand a boring job too? That seems very perverse. It is _not_ a "skill" to be able to do what you don't like and be happy with it. It is a skill to learn to (genuinely) like it or get out.

Even more important, by reusing addresses you are making more signatures using the same private key. This has proven to be a vulnerability where one can deduce the private key from these signatures (though limited to a bad implementation) but it's worth considering.

Would be interested to know what would have happened to Apple if say Ive became CEO. Steve knew what he was doing naming Tim CEO I think. Not sure about the wow factor, but cash pile is today ~10x what it was back then, and so is stock price (11/10/2008: 14.31, 04/13/2017: 141.91)
IE 10 (and to a lesser extent, 11) has really wonky support. In a self-contained SVG, it's fine. Once you need it to scale a certain way, you'll find things get weird.

IE 10 basically dropped off the face of the earth, but 11 is stubbornly hanging on. Still, if you're optimizing the size of SVG bytes for the benefit of these browsers, you're likely to add that weight right back in with all the IE-specific CSS you're likely to add in.
How is this any worse/different than many popular articles on HN?
College clearly has value for those who graduate, although sometimes not much compared to what they paid (in dollars, and opportunity). A bigger issue with '100% college' is the dollar and opportunity cost for those people who attend college and don't graduate. I've known many people that just didn't get much benefit out of their year or two of failing out of college, which also cost them thousands of dollars.

IMO, Elixir appeals to developers who have experienced the challenges of the established code bases because you immediately realize the long term benefits of the way it's designed. I've noticed a pattern at least that it seems to appeal to people with more experience because it's easier to recognize what the little details bring.
Ex-Professor Says Dismissed Racketeering Case Is Still ‘Devastating’
Sorry to dissapoint you but Umbrella also takes a callback! It just has more sane (ES6-compatible) arguments :)

u('a').addClass((el, i) => (i % 2 == 0) ? 'odd' : '');

See example: https://jsfiddle.net/r2f87hzk/

Not only that, Umbrella will handle many more class name separations compared to jQuery. All of these (and more) are valid:

u('a').addClass('a,b c', 'd'); // No typo here, four classes added

u('a').addClass(['a'], ['b,c', ['d']]); // Again no typo, 4 classes added

Of course you normally don't use this, but you might have the class list in an array or a comma-separated string or something else which makes it really convenient and it was basically for free as the method is really reusable. See the documentation:

https://umbrellajs.com/documentation#addclass
I doubt that it is a problem with the dev team, or a PM's lack of org clout or lack of API access (apparently the app could functionally do what it needed to do, except perhaps the final step, which might have required correcting an expired CC. iTunes has the same flaw when my card expires, requiring me to login from my desktop to fix). In my opinion, this is purely the fault of the PM or PO for lacking any sort of understanding of proper interaction design or making it a point to enlist the help of others who do, with the end result being a horrible UX.

Full stack web development, growth hacking, lead generation/user acquisition, on- and offline marketing and entrepreneurship in general. I have half a dozen close friends who dropped out of high school and/or college and used their raw "ingenuity or shrewdness" rather than any learned skills in order to achieve enormous success (tens of millions of dollars). Some of them in Silicon Valley, but others in boring places and boring fields. In the past there were significant barriers to entry in many fields that required expensive, time consuming, often discriminatory pedigree to pass. These barriers have largely been destroyed over the last decade. The walls have been torn down and the ladders burned (much to the discomfort of those mid-climb), and they aren't coming back. Persistence and cleverness are the deadliest combination these days.
