The UK as well. Here there are fully comprehensive private healthcare plans that basically acts as "top up" over the public healthcare: You go to a NHS doctor first, and if they need to refer you for anything, you ask them to refer you privately.

So you pretty much pay to queue jump and get higher quality hospital rooms.

Automated tests are code, and come with all the engineering and maintenance concerns of 'real' code. They don't do anything for your customers, though, so are only appropriate when they actually make your work faster or safer.

Automated tests are a spec, and are exactly as hard to write completely and correctly, and as easy to get wrong in ignorance, as a 'real' spec. If you find them easy to write, odds are good you would find the code easy to visually verify as well - which is to say, you're working on a trivial problem.

They have their place, but that place is not everywhere. It is where they are efficient and valuable. I particularly look for places where they are like the P half of an NP problem, an independent estimate of the answer to a math problem. If you ever find yourself writing the same code twice, unless it's a safety-critical system or something, that's a moment to stop and reflect on the value of what you are doing.
This is terrible fact, but has no link at all with you previous comment and my answer.

Most policy decisions these days are heavily influenced by proprietary forecasting models.

Just look at the fuss that was made because the House passed a health bill without a Congressional Budget Office score. The CBO score will certainly play a large part in the Senate's rewrite. The problem is that the CBO and other organizations like it are quite secretive about their modeling. Most of the time they only produce point estimates, and they don't publish many of the assumptions behind their modeling. When there is a bill that contains both taxes and spending, the Joint Committee on Taxation models the tax part, the CBO models the spending part, and they just smash the results together because even those two organizations aren't willing to share and integrate their models.

The NY Fed is serving as an important leader in this field. Policy analysis should be transparent and scientific, and that's what the NY Fed is moving the field towards.
People shouldn't confuse single-payer with socialism. In many single-payer systems, the government will put a limit on what they are willing to pay for various services, but those services are provided by private entities.
>is not only offensive to me as a game designer

http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/706825-it-s-now-very-common-...

Boo hoo, you're offended by people playing your games. What about us spending money on your game and then hours learning the mechanics only to get beaten by your AI violating the established rules and doing things we cannot.

I don't have have enough time with Civ to have experienced this there, but in Fifa watching defenders with speed and acceleration 10+ points below my strikers outrunning them or that magical switch flipping that says "AI will score now" and watching my own defenders actively run away from the ball or the ball even go right through their legs may not be result of "lazy" design but it's infuriating. Especially when I think of how much money I've laid down to have this experience.

> I still have the plastic piggy-bank somewhere (and a Fat Cat one, to really date myself).

We're probably a similar age, I met Fat Cat on an Ansett flight once ;)

But clearly customer acquisition at a young age is huge for banks - I'm part of a focus group for Westpac, and recently they tested several different designs for piggy banks.

(Another initiative is already public, where they've giving $200 to every child born in Australia this year. Catch is, the parents have to open a Westpac account to claim it, and the money can't be withdrawn until the child turns 18.)
Alternatively, we could consider a more strict "No heroic efforts" for people with dementia -- which means not spending tens to hundreds of thousands on resuscitation or surgical procedures for people with dementia if they are not in pain from their current ailment. Its obviously nuanced, but there is a hugely significant amount of savings to be made if we can get over the political obstacles.
There is a lot of good advice in the actual article, but this is also a good point. Failure in a social setting can feel especially bad, but there is hardly a way to improvement without experiencing it.

With perseverance, one can establish tolerance to such pain, and eventually develop the skills that help avoid it altogether.
Remember the RPC vulnerabilities from ~2003? Back then, a machine connected to the Internet without some firewall in front of it would get infected before the installation routine was finished.

> Capital is more mobile... so we'll decrease the taxes on capital and increase the taxes on labor?

Yes, because otherwise it will go away from "us". "We" don't put in laws and taxes for the whole world, "we" are countries that are competing one against another for that capital.

> I have no problem with increasing the minimum wage to the point where people can actually pay rent and buy medicine

More like "increasing the minimum wage to the point where people are replaced with automation or people from working at other places".

> What if, one day, it does?

Oh, but it just recently did. I lived a couple of months with friends, got into credit and used tax returns. I didn't even used any unemployment help, as I consider the whole concept unethical, although I could. Believe me, for me, it's not a hypothetical situation.

> where homeless people even exist

Then donate your own money to them. But what you're advocating instead is forcibly taking _other_ people's money so that they can pay for _your_ view on what society should look like.

> where working 40 hours a week doesn't mean you'll be able to get a house or food

Working hours don't contribute any value to the society - services and products are. I don't care how much did you work when I'm paying my money. Can you rephrase this in terms of actual services and products provided?

For example, if you told me that "working 2 shifts as a pediatrician" doesn't get you house or food, then I would agree that the country where it happens has a problem.

> or where two parents must both work full time to break even to the detriment of the nation's children

Children should be a luxury. I am right now in a pretty good financial situation, on a software engineer's salary, and I still don't feel like I can afford a child. If somebody is making a very poor financial decision to buy a luxury yacht that he can't afford, you don't feel sorry for them - why a different treatment for someone who gets a child?

> I'd rather pay a little more tax. I'd rather my capital be a little less mobile.

Go donate to a charity then. Invest your pension savings in a company that you consider "ethical". But although you're talking about "your" tax and "your" capital, you use these arguments to advocate what should be done to _other_ people's taxes and _other_ people's capital.

> Why have a minimum wage at all? Why have medicaid or guaranteed hospital access?

Beats me.

> we could leave taxes as they are if we reallocated 50% of the military budget... we'd still have the biggest and best military in all of world history

You would also have a lot of very angry veterans though. It is my understanding that about ~50% of american "military" budget actually goes to all kinds of pensions and compensation - cutting this doesn't exactly fit your ethical model, does it?

> In the end, life's better if you're a little less greedy, who wants to be the richest man in a slum? Is it better to have a million dollars in Somalia or 100k in Boston?

That's a question that every man should answer for himself. All your arguments are about enforcing your ethical system on other people, who may or may not agree with it.

I just checked, and on my system without having changed anything, administrators (i.e. users in the Administrators group, including Administrator) are granted SeBackupPrivilege and SeRestorePrivilege, which are the "ignore access control" privileges.

Anyways, even then administrators have by default SERVICE_ALL_ACCESS grant to the Service Control Manager, which allow you to create and start a service running as SYSTEM.

Also administrators have SeDebugPrivilege, so they can ignore ACLs on process objects. This means you can just execute arbitrary code in one of the system processes - or you can duplicate the token of one of those and impersonate it.
Ironically that might be a reason for the later increase in the price of ETH compared to ETC as corporate types like the idea of being able to 'roll back' the chain in the event of fraud or a serious bug and don't appreciate that the DAO fork was a one-off event where the majority of the stakeholders were in favor due to their foolish purchase of DAO tokens.
This is going to sound glib but it just sounds like some people in security research are butthurt. And not for any valid reason.
The obvious reason, which might be too obvious, but just in case:

Employment serves as a convenient risk pool that is too hard to join based only on a wish to get insurance.
"That was February 2016. By July, Riordan says, he’d downloaded emails, financial reports, and other records from the network that he says showed the company’s namesake, Chief Executive Officer Mike Rothenberg, was using investor money to fund other projects he owned"

That's kind of troubling, depending upon the details.

If I hire someone and he starts fishing around on the servers that he has access to, looking to put together a case, that could easily be a violation of trust. I could maybe even see if the SEC had contacted him and asked him for information as an informant in something ongoing. But Riordan initiated this - and it wasn't like the Uber example where Susan Fowler was exposing company culture information that was more public in the first place.

Granted, Rothenberg looks pretty dirty and I have personal experience with a CEO diverting company funds and priorities away from the supposed corporate mission. It's no fun and I have sympathy for stopping him.

If I hire someone to do some server work, I want him to do the job I'm paying for - not spend my money trying to build a case against me.
People usually pay fees for using ATMs outside their banks network (some banks join broader networks in order to offer more ATM locations to their customers.)
"If you try, you will fail and feel bad, worse than if you never tried, but if you stick with it, you can overcome the failures"

This is probably good advice for a lot of people but it can also make things worse. I have made several attempts to "go out there and learn" and the result was always that I didn't improve but instead got more insecure. I think there needs too be some underlying strategy and not just banging your head into the same wall. A lot of people understand social skills intuitively but some don't.
Yeah you're really well socialized, I see.
What do you mean wait times are lower? Waiting once you get to the clinic or the multiple months you need to get the appointment for the specialist?
Except for negative effects on the children? How do you schedule that with school and homework?
Doesn't matter, the administrator can just enable their SeBackupPrivilege and SeRestorePrivilege and ignore those ACLs.
IMHO, asking questions to people you have just met will make they fell uncomfortable. They don't know you yet and aren't interested in giving you details about themselves.

Asking questions or making remarks about easy, common and light subjects will make you start a conversation without going too deep too fast. That's why people talk about the weather, the transit, etc. It also helps if you observe the person a bit and ask about something that they clearly appreciate.
Wow! That's a serious stretch. There is almost no private healthcare in Canada right now. Doctors are banned from "straddling the fence". They either have to go 100% public or 100% private.

The reason for the waitlists in Canada are complex, but cost control is one of the reasons.
This is an argument for someone to pay for "day-to-day healthcare", but it's still not clear that someone should be an insurance company.
Bus on its way to you, your app says "There are 12 seats free, 10 standing on this bus" possibly even showing you which seats are free. Saves you catching a bus where you're crammed in like sardines.

My issue with the civ AI was that the tactic of paying them to declare war has always been too powerful. The civs only ever will by choice be in one war at a time, so if you bribe a warlike nation a (pitiful) about of gold to declare war on your closest competitor then you can keep them off your back and squabbling with each other to a cheap victory even on the hardest difficulties.
In many countries, this limited bank runs out of the post office. TBH, that isn't a terrible idea for the US. It would shore up the USPS, which primarily makes money by delivering junk mail, and it provides lower cost banking for those who would wind up paying check cashing fees.
Strongly recommend the work on Random Critical Analysis linked to by SSC there.

Approx. zero people reading this will believe the conclusion, but RCA argues that the US is not really an outlier on healthcare costs.

There's a dizzying amount of data and statistics levied for the argument. It's a fascinating read even if you don't agree just because of how much is put into the argument.

The real problem with health care is that it's a gravy train for all involved. Doctors, who don't invent anything new and who just practice garden-variety medicine are wildly overpaid. They don't like it be known, but the average doctor earns a quarter-million a year. Totally unjustified.

Then there are the medical device manufacturers, big Pharma and the hospitals. They all are getting rich off the current system. That's what needs to change.

Sure, we Chinese basically cover most of our medical bills, and rely on insurance for treatments of more vital diseases. Actually, people go to hospital more, because cold or other smallish issues cost no more than a good meal.

Clinics do fine. They charge more, and they have the hospitals as a reference for their prices, providing better service for a premium.

This isn't really that much different from etching your own PCB. You just print the circuit on a laser printer, stick it on a copper board, pour some etchant and that's about it.

Of course, you then have to solder the components, which is a time-consuming and difficult process, what with the size of electronics these days. Most components' pads are a fraction of a square millimeter.

Doctors are so highly paid as a function of their scarcity, which is itself a function of the high barriers to entry (intense schooling, selective admissions, high costs). I think the first 2 barriers are necessary to keep quality high, but doing something about the 3rd could help lower costs by increasing the supply of doctors, and I certainly think that's a better solution than being mad at the doctors for accepting a high salary that's offered to them.

The thing is - with most nice people - even if you 'fail' they aren't going to hold it against you or make fun of you. In fact, most people won't even notice your 'failures'. And if someone does make fun or hold it against you, it's a great time to consider cutting them out.

I remember years ago reading a comment about someone who was terrified of failure, until they learnt to skateboard - and realised that aside from the occasionally pulled off success, everyone was failing all the time, and that they reveled in the trying.
