Your math is completely wrong, though not in the way the other poster said. You're making the classic mistake treating percentages as though they add and subtract when they really multiply.

> "So, if we adopted a true single payer system, by this math, the total spend in the US healthcare system would drop by 3%. US healthcare costs have recently been growing by 6% per year, so this would bring our costs all the way down to where they were on election day, 2016."

Assuming the numbers are right, if we adopted a true single payer system, costs would drop from 7% to 3%, a 42% reduction. After such a reduction, the spending would take nearly 10 years to grow back to whatever its original dollar value was at a 6% growth rate, not 6 months.

We could, but there is money lost in the process. Both for the people who produce, but also consumers. This needs regulation to become a reality.
This seems like a compendium of metrics for processes which AI is a making progress on now. Doing something like that seems like a fine idea - I can't judge the quality of these metrics but it's hard to be excited by this.

However, what I think would be interesting would be for researchers to make a compendium of "human abilities", classifying and quantifying them as well as possible. One could then analyze the progress which AI could make towards emulating those capacities.

Obviously, this would be a rather crude measure but it at least could give some idea of AI's toward new capacities.
How do you remap it? Last I looked (when I was deciding whether or not to ditch CentOS for a Mac) swapping Esc and CapsLock on the Mac required third-party software and was a pain.

There's nothing special from architecture perspective. Identities are necessary for login and for some tasks related to outgoing messages to user: thus, authentication (OAuth2-based server) works with identities and during the login finds the related account and grants necessary permissions for it. Resources requiring personalization (information from account), will have the account id. If they need to contact the user, they'll request message delivery by this account id - respective service will figure out, which identity has to be used for this delivery.

Not that I understand why, but it makes some sense if religious people are somehow shy to that, but atheists?

Are people afraid of perception or afraid of misinterpretation or afraid physically, are there that many unhinged people out there?

You can totally make friends with people of the same sex you are generally sexually attracted to and it does not mean or have to end up in a weird uncomfortable moment. Just be people. Think how you made friends pre-puberty. You just went and talked.

It definitely happens.

I suspect they do it this way rather than manufacture empty packages because there are a huge variety of chips out there with an equally diverse set of package designs. It's easier to pay unskilled laborers to sort chips into 200 different groups based on size, color, and pin count than to build a machine to replicate 200 different package types.

I'm really amazed that the data is that close for "having a work meeting." (25% of women say inappropriate vs 22% of men)

That's a lot higher than I was expecting. It makes me wonder why as well. Is it just "inappropriate" (what I imagine Mike Pence thinks)? Does one side think the other side is trying to do something inappropriate or is trying to lead into something?

At least in many jobs I've had, 1:1's were basically required time (though, not usually productive time). It's crazy thinking so many working relationships people might be on edge or think of as inappropriate.

Of course, the source of the data is "registered voters", not people who have jobs.

The Restoration Agriculture scene might be interesting to you.

I can't find a great page to link to, but this has a decent, short description of what they are doing:

https://www.forestag.com/pages/mark-shepard
> Trees, shrubs, vines, canes, perennial plants and fungi are planted in association with one another to produce food (for humans and animals), fuel, medicines, and beauty. Hazelnuts, chestnuts, walnuts and various fruits are the primary woody crops. The farm is entirely solar and wind powered and farm equipment is powered with locally produced biofuels that are not taken from the human food chain.

The part that interests me is, they can grow half as much of a crop per acre as a monoculture, but they can do it for like 10 different crops in the same area.

And they don't have to spray it with poison, so there are cool things like tree frogs out there.
Common Sense Tools for the Friend of Someone Who Is Brainwashed
There are two factors at play here:

1. General religiously-driven norms, which are shifting in the US (e.g., VP Pence)

2. Concern, or overly-cautious / over-concern over what happened last week with Binary Capital. Clearly there is a middle ground between the frat-house that Binary Capital was and the monastery environment VP Pence might suggest.

I will absolutely not be alone with a female as a male if I can help it.

One accusation of ill-doing on my part and my life is essentially over.

Conversely; as a male a female is quite likely weaker than I am, thus the risk to them is that I cause them injury or force them to do something. Which is a horrendous thought and of course I would never do such a thing; but from a certain perspective it _could_ happen. The same way I could potentially say something deeply uncomfortable to them.

So I would understand why females would not desire to be alone with males.

Just my 2c

Yeah. I think I punted on that because, although it's easy for degrees <= 4 (since those have general formulas!), I'd have to implement some root-finding method for degrees >= 5, and somehow preserve the orderings of the roots. Not insurmountable problems -- I might go back and do that someday!
1) As far as I know, this is only communication stunt. There was no new legislation that eases immigration, it falls in the current set of laws and regulations that didn't seem to cause major issues for now (at least for engineering jobs).

2) At least on the posted website, there isn't any big SS2I/ESN (Societe de Service en Ingenerie Informatique/Entreprise de service du numerique, aka meat renters, like Capgemini, Atos, Sopra-Steria...) or big employers (like Thales, Snecma, Airbus...) in the list. The list seems kind of legit as it seems to be constituted only of small start-ups.

That may be dangerous. What if the patch works, passes all tests by contains non-obviously malicious (or simply non-obviously buggy, which no current test catches) code?

Good point on "the source of the data is 'registered voters', not people who have jobs."

In a round-about way, polling registered voters might make sense, as they have -- however indirectly -- to actually change the system.

This is basically the same problem as monetising an open source project on GitHub. I don't know what O'Reilly's take of a 5-20USD eBook was, but I bet you the authors get more than your average Patreon.

Even if you do convince someone to pay (did I read that 1% was a good conversion rate?), how difficult is it to get their money? How many are you going to lose to the PayPal login process? How much money is your payment processor going to take?

While I've got you here (although this looks like a throwaway account), how easy is it for you to make a credit card payment to a US merchant from Brazil? Can you use Patreon? PayPal? Flattr?

>I certainly would not consider it a personal attack.

Fair enough. I suppose there's a certain type of person you've never had to interact with; but can you imagine the existence of such a person who, when they said "many people will just write you off as a hopeless dweeb", what they actually meant was "many people including myself..." or "all the people whose opinion matters..."?

In other words, the sort of person who, when they want to make a personal attack, hide behind the kind of language that lets them claim they're just stating a fact about what other people think?

After our little back-and-forth, I don't believe that you are that kind of person; and maybe its a problem with me that I'm too ready to connect insulting language with ill intent; I just find it easier all around to frame things in a way that avoids any misapprehensions (for example, by pointing out "stupid" questions by saying "HN users don't appreciate questions that could be easily answered by reading the article and using Google")
The study doesn't suggest that red wine and white wine taste the same, but rather that our perception of the test is more heavily influenced by expectation than reality.
Given that countries with single payer systems achieve similar or better life expectancy outcomes for in most cases half the cost of the US system, I'm inclined to believe that you have no idea what you're talking about. The US system is literary the only first world system that's not working.

Mike Pence, Americans and pretty much all of humanity up until the last two generations or so (in most cultures).
Sex is one of the greatest things both now and in the past of bringing out stupid behavior in people. The number of people who have destroyed their wealth, jobs, and/or reputations is staggering. It is not just of matter of more training or consequences. Even with such punishment as being impaled alive http://www.executedtoday.com/2017/03/15/1718-stepan-glebov-l...

or with the threat of eternal damnation, people still had sexual relationships that were deemed illicit.

I doubt our worst punishments will come anywhere close to that which was inflicted in the past, and if punishments and stigma in the past could not control sex, I doubt they will now. The underlying issue is that sex is driven by the limbic brain and is not entirely susceptible to reason. This is a hard problem and one that society will struggle with for a long time.
Not sure... I was a massive Acorn fan. But looking back, I'm not sure how far ahead of MacOS RiscOS really was. It was an advance on MSDos/Windows of course... but that wasn't the best thing out there by any means.

ARMs were (still are) nice processors, and have obviously lived on and done well.
In jobs where I feel sure I'm doing my job well, I overtly show when I'm not busy. Walking around, playing video games, chatting, even working on my own business (with boss's permission) etc. I see other people worriedly noticing when the boss is coming or being afraid that the guard will notice they often turn up late in the morning. But it doesn't bother me at all. I'm doing what I was hired to do and there's no need to make a show of working. Sometimes coworkers see me on the computer and say "you're working hard" but I laugh and say "no, I've been pissing around all day, I'm really lazy". Of course this does depend on the job - sometime you are hired to make full use of your time, not just get things finished.

However, I have worked in places where I always felt I wasn't performing well enough. Stayed at my desk doing "things" as fast as I could and still being behind on deadlines, a couple of times by making big mistakes that meant weeks of work turned out to be useless. I'd go home drained and stressed and still not be refreshed enough to think clearly again the next morning.
I got better things to do than play games :)

Surprised that no one has pointed out the obvious factor driving the poorer keyboards: the drive to make laptops thinner and lighter. With less space to work with, laptop designers have to make compromises.

The market has spoken. Thinness and lightness is more important than a good keyboard.

(Still hanging on to my 6-year-old 17" MBP. I can see the point of something thinner and lighter, but it's just not my highest priority.)

I doubt it will feel better until you leave the role. There is only so much self reflection you can do until you are self destructive. I think it's too late now to ask for more information, so there is nothing you can do - and this is an awful situation.

I imagine and hope it was an honest mistake towards someone who was a bit more sensitive about one of your actions and there isn't a huge amount you can do to make the situation better for anyone. You seem keen on fixing yourself which is noble so I hope you don't let this eat away at you.
Agreed that it's not exactly a free market right now, but pretending a truly free market would improve things is a little ridiculous. If you fall off a ladder are you going to be shopping around for a good price on an ambulance ride, calling ER's to get the best deal, etc? That assumes there is more than one hospital nearby, more than one ambulance company, etc. Much of the country only has one nearby ER. What happens in a "free" market when you absolutely have to purchase something from a monopoly?
Open Sourcing Iris and Oncall
In professions where you get paid by the hour (e.g., contractors, lawyers, etc.) being busy is a proxy for making more money. So when people say, "I've been swamped," it's a polite way of them saying "I'm making bank."
Sounds good in theory but what you propose gives representation to extremist fringe groups as well who other have to throw their weight around more mainstream candidates in a first past the post system. Imagine both ultra conservative and ultra left having a combined one-third representation.
> Try having a pre-existing condition before ACA - no one will insure you because you're too expensive, or your premiums go ridiculously high.

Insurance is paying someone (the insurer) to take ownership of a risk from you (the insured) by compensating you if the risk is realized. If the risk has already been realized then, of course, no insurer will be willing to take ownership of it for less than the cost of the compensation.

The system we have today can hardly be considered "insurance".
I am surprised about this as well: here (EU) people I know have no issues with this at all. Friends are both male and female, for my wife and me, and we meet, alone, with them often. Colleagues as well; I often have lunch/dinner/car rides alone with my colleagues of the opposite sex and never thought about this. They are colleagues and we are there to do a job. I have never, only for highschool teachers, heard anything different than this in NL: my parents did and do the same for instance.
I'll speak up with an example from a man's perspective; it has nothing to do with attraction or religion, it's just not worth the risk.

If I'm one-on-one with a woman and a misunderstanding makes her feel uncomfortable or threatened and she accuses me of misconduct or sexual harassment I'm at an enormous disadvantage without any witnesses. When even being accused could be career ending it's best to bring someone else along.

I have absolutely no problem going one-on-one with my friends who are women but I can't say the same for strictly co-workers.
To make a few people rich at the expense of many others' health and lives. That clearly is the goal of not having a single payer system and the reason for the private health insurance industry existing in the first place.
I like the free market. However, when something has completely inelastic demand and the people most in need of your product is not your target group (as in, sick people often have problems making ends meet, since they're sick and all) and the economy as a whole is far better off if everyone got the benefits of the system, I think it's super bad to use the free market.

In the US, you spend 17% of your GDP on healthcare, in Sweden we spend 11%. The US has a lower life expectancy, lower survival rate for most heart diseases and types of cancer and has healthcare bills as the leading cause for bankruptcy. It could just be me, but it looks like universal healthcare systems in the Nordic model runs circles around the US system based on all the relevant metrics.

And that's why countries with higher government involvement spend less in healthcare and have better results.

No.

> Why can't it be both? If I expect my Bitcoin to appreciate 5% per year I might be willing to spend it to buy my weekly groceries.

You might be or might not be. I assure you, the majority will not be willing to buy groceries using a deflationary currency. They'll switch to an inflationary currency instead.
I'd guess that Dropbox make most of their revenue from businesses that have large numbers of different computers. If you have a network of computers all running the same OS then sharing and sync'ing is relatively easy; Dropbox solves the pain where you don't have that. Any service that's Apple-only, or Windows-only, or even just perceived to be limited to a particular OS, isn't going to have much of an impact on Dropbox's bottom line.
Well, I'm from Rome and I remember the stories of my friends having to toss their wine batches because they added too much "polverina" to the mix. I also remember one time I nearly got into a fight with a producer at a summer show, when I commented to a friend (unaware the other guy was standing next to me, I guess I had enough already ;) that this "barrique" they were peddling really tasted of supermarket wine washed in wood flakes, and you could tell the two "tastes" apart like they were glued together by a child.
I'm surprised so many men in here are comfortable being alone with women. You've given another person the power to put you in prison and destroy your entire life at any time without any evidence. All they have to do is make the accusation. You'll lose your job. You'll probably lose your family. You'll probably lose your freedom. It's not worth the risk.
I live in Phnom Penh and I'd say the crime here is about as bad as an average larger American city, but in a different way. There is more petty crime, especially theft. I've lived here 4 years and never had any problem really, but I see visitors and expats alike getting robbed frequently. I've avoided it because I don't carry anything worth stealing and I am not the type of person that thieves target.
