>The middleman role of insurance companies in American healthcare seems completely useless. They're not serving patients, doctors ...

I think you're being too generous here. Insurance providers are not only useless, but of negative value to patients and physicians alike. They add yet another bureaucratic layer atop the healthcare system as a whole, and inundate physicians with red tape that interferes with care.

In my experience, insurance companies will actively go out of their way to fuck over patients on technicalities—even in life threatening situations—just to try and save a dime. The sheer indifference to humanity can be breathtaking at times.

Maybe this is a stupid question, but I've always wondered.
I just started playing with this a couple of days ago.

I use conda on Windows, and it installed without any issue.

It's pretty easy to get started and crank out a usable UI. My toy app isn't sophisticated (service status for one service :) ), but it only took a couple of hours to whip together. It works fine, and looks pretty.

In contrast, I've used the Qt bindings for awhile, and they took a bit more effort for the same results.

I can't speak to the performance, or the cross-platform capability. For a quick and dirty utility it worked just fine, and I can see doing larger things with it.

I'm glad you replied back. I have done both now, in various forms - used to have a ~45 minute bus commute, then an hour drive, now I work from home. By far, the drive was the worst of the three, but I wanted to work for a company that was in a different city than I wanted to live, so I had no choice. The bus commute was incredible - I never had to worry about traffic (other than it took longer when the weather was bad), I could check emails in the morning and zone out in the afternoon. It created a really nice separation between work and life. Now I work from home, and it suits me. I've got a spare bedroom that's designated the office, and only work stuff happens in there. I do my normal morning routine, spend the day in that room, then leave it and close the door. I think it's the rigor that makes it work, but I know that's for me, and many other people have far more distraction than I do at home, so it's harder. But, to each their own, and I'm glad you've got a commute that works for you. A train ride every day sounds really nice.
I can think of three reasons, from least to most libertarian:

1) You're proposing a flat dollar amount be paid as tax by every citizen. This will be most painfully felt by the poorest. What sort of society do you think this leads to?

2) The rich do employ a lot of people, whose education and safety were provided for by taxes. Then there's all those road and water networks they use to deliver goods to the markets they own, and the large amount of property and contracts they have that are enforced by the state. So yes, I do believe they use more government services than the average person.

3) Plenty of markets work that way: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_discrimination Furthermore, in a market, the seller sets the price, and the buyer is free to take his business elsewhere. And there's plenty of countries to choose from - so why should government services be different?

Yes they do consume a lot more government services.

Whole branches of government are set up to protect property in any forms. Outside of life and limb protection, the rich consume property protection more. Land, IP, bank accounts, shares, options, buildings, boats, freight... the rich have it because their property rights are protected by the government.

As for Picketty, the only serious criticism I'm aware of had to do with his explanation about why wealth begets wealth, not on the fact that there is a preferential accretion mechanism for wealth inherent to capitalism.

If you have any source or example where capital holders do not increase their share faster than non capital holders (say, e.g. workers) then I'd be happy to know about it.
Was a side project in hibernation that didn't cost anything to run. Around 2015 we revamped the site and added a lot of features which caused us to grow a lot and became too expensive to run and maintain.

Very true. I wouldn't be surprised if see more patches after this one. Based on their initial response time they seem to be taking this as seriously as it warrants. Hopefully they move away from this model eventually - it won't be easy to lock this down properly.
Because taxes aren't about market services? We, society as a whole, benefit from things that we don't consume. I'm not making use of social security, medicare, food stamps, WIC, or CHIP right now, but it benefits me to not have destitute people. Property owners pay school taxes regardless of if they have children in school because a well educated society is beneficial to everyone. I didn't own a car for over a decade, but my taxes still paid for roads and car-centric infrastructure.

Moreover, I detest that we even got involved in the wars in the Middle East, and was a strong supporter of NOT retaliating after 9/11. My taxes still pay for them.

Taxes have absolutely nothing to do with a market.

>Unit testing: Test all methods and paths of a class, even private ones.

I disagree with this. Unit testing means testing the "unit" (i.e. the class/object) but still at a boundary level: the public API of that class. You should mock out any dependencies that object would have to ensure you are only testing that class but the class API has to be respected.

A private method is a hidden implementation detail, testing those would be overfitting your tests to the current implementation meaning if you change one character anywhere in your source you will almost certainly have to change one or more tests. Plus, if your tests are so tightly coupled to the implementation, it's likely to suffer from any bugs the implementation does causing them to be hidden (never forget that tests are also code and therefor have bugs at a similar rate to any other code).

Writing test code requires the same level (if not more) of engineering discipline that writing the code does.

>ROI of functional testing is high, as it is usually done with real data.

I also disagree with all of this. Functional testing is a kind of sanity check that the parts actually work together once assembled. If you have proper unit test coverage (and properly designed/engineered tests!) the functional testing is basically checking configuration. The problems with function testing are (1) testing is about checking code paths but which paths functional tests take can be hard to predict and differ between subsequent runs, making it hard to make any statement about what passing actually means. (2) is exactly what you mentioned as a positive: people tend to want to use what they call "real" data, i.e. data they have actually seen before. Which means it's probably only good for catching bugs they know about, not ones they've never seen before.

>In my opinion unit testing is a huge waste of time.

I would actually agree to this because I think answering the question of "how do we detect bad code" with "write more code" is problematic. I'd rather go the Haskell/Idris route and be able to prove that I have no bugs.

>Most of the tests devolve int mock objects, calling mock methods, and doing this that really don't help to find real world bugs, where two unit tests pass, but their methods produce the wrong output.

This kind of response sounds like a self fulling prophecy. The exact point of mocking is to test code paths, i.e. if this dependency returns this result how will the class under inspection behave in response. Ideally you would use mocks to test everything that every dependency could respond. Unless the types involved have very few inhabitants, this isn't generally possible (even programatically) but the closer you get to this the more you can trust your tests.
I used a lot of matlab doing my phd in signal processing. The university i was at had licenses so i never worried about that. After graduating the need for a license is a bit of a pain point. I tried octave years ago and it was so much slower than matlab it was basically unusable. I heard it has sped up since then but i never tried it again. I mostly use python for that stuff now, though julia is something I would consider if i had to do it again. Matlab as a language is just really bad, if you are going to use something open source just use julia or python instead.

You know, I don't recall there being a deductible. Maybe there was, but most of the 7K or so expenses from the C-sections were paid by the insurance. Perhaps it was a few hundred, which I tended to hit regardless due to having various minor creme/inhaler/doctor appointment needs.

The system was that you'd pay for little things yourself, like asthma inhalers, and then send in a form to your insurer. So the deductible would have come out of the summary you got each month.

How can I care of licenses?
Hi to evryone , I'll like to ask you , if somebody wants to try to build a game ( e.g. a graphical or textual videogame ) , how can be sure to don't infringe any other license ?
Is there a solid line to look at ?
For examle if the game's character will be too close at the look of some already existing hero , or the story seems like a promoted book , or film ... How can I be aware of ?
Any character must not to use names , looks , story-like any popular - familiar hero ?
Is a parody version accettable ?

He specifies "any tests", as do several other anti-test posts in this discussion, though often someone will reply to them and assume, like you have done, that they have another complex set of automated tests that they're happy about, and they're only railing against some unspecified subset of automated tests. I'm not sure if that's being over-charitable or not.

> getting started in Java programming

I'm willing to guess that's where things got hard, not installing and running an app. Would you know what to do when NetBeans throws you in front of an empty text editor? Or, when starting a new project, did you know the canonical way of naming things without being shown once?
You are right. That comment was based on this quote:

"The debugging session below was captured after visiting a website that did this:"

In hindsight: It can be interpreted in many ways and my standpoint was too pessimistic/bold from a security standpoint.
you're increasing costs, but you're insuring against the lost profits from your site being down as well as reduced consumer trust. there are ways to keep the cost multiplier down (running many smaller instances vs a single large instance, using containers and running mulitenant machines), but when you start thinking about all layers you want to add redundancy (load balancing, application, database, storage, etc.) you're going to be spending quite a bit of additional money for that insurance. which is why there are good arguments that not every application needs to build in these kinds of redundancy.

For your specific question about databases, you generally have clustering to reduce the impact of any one database instance going down, caching of data to guard against temporary db outages/network issues, and sharding of data across multiple databases to reduce the blast radius of any one logical database going away entirely.
This is completely true, but it's an argument against using coverage as a metric for test quality, not against test coverage per se.

"Getting rid of them would be extremely hard, of course, given how well entrenched they are thanks to lobbying and regulatory capture."

I always go back to when the Affordable Care Act was passed. At the time the amount of money being spent and the future money promised was enough for the federal government to buy every public health insurance company on the open market. If that decision had been made the argument for going to single payer, universal healthcare would have been over.

Yes, it would have been a rough transition, but at the time elapsed between now and then would have moved the USA into the rest of the world when it comes to healthcare.
> But I don't think Europe thinks it has everything figured out.

Nobody has "everything" figured out, and health care (and paying for it) is a problem everywhere. It's just that comparatively...well, there really is no comparison. In comparison, it is awesome. And I've lived both in the US and in different parts of Europe.

Do Military Leaflets Save Lives of Just Instill Fear?
Employer-sponsored healthcare in the U.S. is an accident of history.

How we got to now:
1. Roosevelt chose to forego nationalizing healthcare when he introduced social security in the 30's, fearing it would doom both to failure.

2. The U.S. feared debilitating inflation during WWII. The legislature passed a bill to limit employers' ability to raise wages for workers who were battling for employees in a scarce labor pool.

3. Unintended consequences ensued. To attract workers, employers began to offer non-salary perks: employer-sponsored healthcare was one.

4. The economic and labor boom post-WWII entrenched employer-sponsored healthcare and has led us to where we are today.

We've built our entire backend on .NET Core. We've got a lot of moving parts. The main pain points have ironically been certain Azure libraries which haven't been ported to the standard yet. I've also been using F# core and while the experience isn't yet there, it feels close.
There's another possible avenue: they pick it up from the people they've grown up around, like their parents. They see how these people act and pick it up by osmosis, not necessarily with any conscious effort.

Absolutely not. "Working" would require at least something to go well: well-compensated workers, high profits, technical innovation, a diversified market -- something! Instead we've got 1099 contractors making barely minimum wage, lawsuits instead of self-driving cars, local taxi companies being driven out of business. And to top it all off, the "unicorns" like Uber are not even profitable. It's just VCs spending their own money to wreck up existing markets instead of creating a viable business.
