> overhead from extremely high healthcare provider salary.

may be there isn't any competition (which could be because it's quite hard to establish a new healthcare clinic/hospital)? Also, are there limited supplies of health care professionals that cause their salaries to grow to such a high number?
Let's say you make an effort to talk to people and after doing that a lot people still don't talk to you or you invite people but they never invite you back and so on. It's clear you are doing something wrong but how do you figure out what's wrong and how to do it right?

A Brief History of the Digital Accountability and Transparency Act
One difference is that the U.S. system gives a lot to the people who pay a lot. Rich people have access to the most advanced cancer treatments in world, for instance. But child mortality is relatively high among poor people (which is a shame on US.).

Of course, this is indeed bad for efficiency, if you consider health outcomes vs. spending. And inequality: wealthy people live longer. But then there are questions of fairness.

Elsewhere, in a so-called welfare state where I live, all children get very good care and child mortality is low, but for instance, when I consider myself - a fairly well-to-do person although not wealthy by US standards - I pay a lot to the system but it gives me very little attention. No regular health checks that are normal in the US for people who have a health insurance through employment, no screenings for cancer (women get several types of specific screenings but men do not).

(We use 9 % of GDP to public health, vs. 17 % in the US.)

I know that the care is quite good if I run into a life-threatening situation, but with smaller trouble such as broken bones or a pneumonia, I'll be prioritized down after drug addicts who have a more serious condition that they have inflicted themselves. And they never contributed to the system which tells me to go to a private clinic.

Fortunately the social problems resulting in non-contribution are still quite small, but an increasing number of people are not giving anything and are consuming more and more of the resources.

One reason I think is that a lot of the time you're not withdrawing money from your bank's ATM or one associated with any bank at all, partially because of sheer land mass, so the operator has to have some way of recooping the expenses of operating those machines. A lot of banks provide free withdraws from their own ATMs and some even just the fees for their customers like my bank.

You might find The Manufacture of Madness: A Comparative Study of the Inquisition and the Mental Health Movement by Dr. Thomas Szasz interesting[1].

In this book Dr. Szasz historically shows the startling revelation of how modern psychiatry evolved out of and is the modern day equivalent of the Inquisition. As the church lost its control over the state during the Enlightenment, witches were relabeled as crazies and the supralegal role of social control was taken over by the psychiatric state.

That really isn't the same.

Urgent care is useless if you do not have the money to pay for it when you need it, even though insurers provide monetary incentives to go there (my insurance plans generally had a copay of $50-$75 for urgent care, but $100-$150 for the ER). You can still wait hours at these places, just like at the ER. And honestly, in such cases the care is likely similar.

You also have absolutely no coverage if you don't have private insurance or are poor enough/old enough for the government-run systems.

This system is more akin to visiting a doctor that charges more than the insurance's "customary charges" and expects you to pay the difference. You like the doctor, though, so you happily pay while the insurance still pays the portion they find to be a fair price.

It is more akin to finding out the specialists in your networks have a 6 month waiting list, but one outside the network only has a 3 month waiting list. The insurance pays a lower amount and you choose to pay the rest out of pocket for a shorter waiting time. The same thing for surgeries that aren't absolute emergencies (I do hear horror stories, but I heard horror stories in the states as well).

Above all, you are unlikely to wind up with such a bill afterwards.

> IMO, a unit that does not pass a spec/test should cause a compile time error.

We can achieve this in dependently-typed languages like Idris. First we define a datatype 'Equal x y', which will represent the proposition that expression 'x' is equal to expression 'y':

data Equal x y where
Refl : (x : _) -> Equal x x

There are two things to note:

- There is only one way to construct a value of type `Equal x y`, which is to use the constructor we've called `Refl`.

- `Refl` only takes one argument, `x` (of arbitrary type `_`), and it only constructs values of type `Equal x x`. This is called "reflexivity", thus the name `Refl`.

Hence if we use the type `Expr x y` anywhere in our program, there is only one possible value we can provide that might typecheck (`Refl x`), and that will only typecheck if `Expr x x` unifies with `Expr x y`, which will only happen if `x` and `y` are the same thing; i.e. if they are equal. Thus the name `Equal`.

This `Equal` type comes in the standard library of all dependently typed languages, and is widely used. To use it for testing we just need to write a test, e.g. `myTest`, which returns some value indicating pass/fail, e.g. a `Boolean`. Then we can add the following to our program:

myTestPasses : Equal myTest True
myTestPasses = Refl myTest

This will only type-check if `Equal myTest myTest` (the type of `Refl myTest`) unifies with `Equal myTest True`, which will only be the case if `myTest` evaluates to `True`.

I'd guess that security feels pretty personal to a lot of people. They may not be experts in the area, but maybe they run servers,- deal with sensitive data or just don't want their personal machines compromised.

I’m not American, but I’ve been hearing about your health system for a several years. Ironically, I know more about it than my own country’s (Ireland).

Several years ago, there seemed to be a lot of talk about how much The US spends (private & public) per capita on health. It’s a lot more than everywhere else. This was usually presented in the context of the health care “regime” A UK-esque system, a Swiss-like system, etc.

Lately, that comparison seems to come up less. Obama-care, Trump-care or Bernie-care would mostly deal with who pays & how, not how much.

The “who pays” question is a favourite ideological one so politicians and commentators are comfortable with it. But, I think the “how much” question is probably the more important one, and the harder one to solve. If the US could get costs down to average European rates, then I’m sure a workable system could be found within the confines of most ideological frameworks.

The problem is that getting costs down is almost impossible. Costs are salaries of doctors & nurses, a giant pharmaceutical industry, thousands of radiologists, ultrasound technicians, the machines they use (far more frequently than europeans)…

Getting costs down to EU levels would be mean the medical industry shrinks like manufacturing shrunk two generations ago.

I don’t have a solution to suggest, but I do suggest toning down the ideological discussion. The problem is more of a technical one.

I'm not "siding" with anyone. I'm pointing out how this story leads organizations -- including organizations that have no desire to be criminal -- to steer clear of this individual. Cheap rhetoric by the peanut gallery about how eager they would be to hire this person rings incredibly hollow. So I guess their job problems are solved.

Quite aside from what looks like a gross abuse of access (again, and maybe the article is representing it wrong, but I'm pointing out why the article does them no favors), which itself is ironically criminal, society in general looks unfavorably on "tattle tales" for a reason.

If you didn't cross all t's and dot all i's when creating your DR strategy, will they call the BSA on you? If a painter's van partly blocks a handicap space, will they report you to the city? Etc.

Everyone breaks the law to some degree. If this person were your passenger on a commute and they called 911 to report that you were 10 over, would you say "Well that's fair. I understand why they don't side with the criminal.".

Again, my core point is how this article does them no favors.

.NET Standard - interface/API definition, not implementation, that specifies what functionality is supported at what version number.

.NET Framework - older desktop/windows-only that implements the .NET Standard. Various other smaller frameworks created over the years for mobile, embedded, etc.

.NET Core - newest cross-platform framework that implements the .NET Standard, although with less coverage than the full framework because it's new, but .NET Core 2.0 will have much more in parity and will eventually outpace.

ASP.NET - web framework built on top of the .NET Framework that offers webforms, mvc, web api, razor views, etc related to making webapps.

ASP.NET Core - web framework built on top of the .NET Core framework that offers a faster, streamlined pipeline/middleware model with mvc/web api, razor views, SPA services and integration, etc.

Yes Microsoft is one of the worst companies at naming -- however it makes perfect sense that ASP.NET Core (the web framework) targets .NET Core (the underlying cross-platform framework) which itself implements .NET Standard.

It's a case of superset functionality being layered on top. Eventually the .NET Core code will move faster and outpace .NET Framework, so you will be able to run .NET Framework libraries inside .NET Core apps but not run .NET Core apps inside .NET Framework.

Your model of human needs isn't adequate for life in anything resembling a functional society, let alone a developed society.

Defining 'human needs' as 'the minimum set of requirements not to die' isn't just laughable in that it's archaic to the point of being absurd, but it's also undermined by your narratives. Take your blinders off, and in each of your examples given here, you'll find that you were in all situations deeply dependent upon social goods (infrastructures and supply chains) that you've glossed over.
IMO, if I ever have 100% code coverage, I did something wrong. The best I can usually achieve is 95-98%, because of my defensive coding to warn about the "impossible" use cases.

Escape a `while True` loop? Log it, along with the current state of the program, and blow up (so we can be restarted). Memory allocation error? Log it. The big "unexpected exception" clause around my main function? Log it.

If I do hit those in testing, my code is wrong.

I also find this extremely confusing, even after using .NET since 1.0.

I wish they would make a chart, diagram...call it what you may, on MSDN or the Github repo, indicating all the frameworks, a description and what developers should target when using one e.g. Desktop, Web or API, Mobile, Cloud etc.

That way, when comes the time to develop an app, we reference the chart and go from there.

If you assume the instructions for Windows 8 apply to windows 10, then that is what you find. Also, the security advisory itself links to this page with the statement "For more information on how to verify the engine version number that your software is currently using, see the section, "Verifying Update Installation", in Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 2510781.", but the actual section title is "Verification of the update installation", so when I searched for the stated section name, I did not find it. These are small mistakes, but it is sloppy work. A person might be left wondering if there is some Windows-10 -specific information somewhere in the rabbit-warren of links leading from the security advisory.

An interesting project. A few remarks:

1. The landing page did not provide me with enough information to figure out:

a. What Pica Pica is.
b. How it can be used.
c. Why I should care.

2. The chat popup obscured part of the little bit of text on the page.

3. The |get started| button took me to a page with pricing before I had answers to the three questions.

4. Then I discovered the "second call to action" and there was the video. It looks professionally produced and is pleasant, but seems more tailored to investor pitching. Odds are I already know what problems I have and if I am trying to write an API, odds are I know what open-source software is and absorb technical information from text.

5. The headline of this post is much more descriptive than the tag line on the site because it mentions Docker and suggests something about what "API" means in the context.

6. When I land on the page, show me the three steps to "Generate API's into Docker Images." Just a diagram with a few words and no code so I get it.

By this argument, we should also be examining why we spend so much on education. In 2010, the United States spent 7.3 percent of its gross domestic product on education, compared with the 6.3 percent average of other OECD countries.

Surely spending dramatically higher amounts than other countries, with no better effects, is enough to drive us to consider how we can reduce the costs of education - and should make us think long and hard before considering proposals that we should throw even more money at this.

It's surely true that having a well-educated workforce improves productivity, but it's also true that having a healthy workforce does the same. I'm having trouble finding much difference between the two examples.

Why would they need to do that. They're a software company, they have explicitly demonstrated no motivation to take on this work.

It's really not hard to envision them partnering with an existing bricks and mortar to provide those services - e.g. car rental companies provision through their hubs, or uhaul steps into the game and their franchise owners become uber hubs.

I really feel this is the obvious endgame, but who is to say.
