One, existing medical insurers comprise an industry worth tens of billions of dollars and have shown they are willing to every last cent they have on ads and lobbying to oppose such ideas, which of course completely threatens their existence. Any plan has to find a way to funnel them money in order to avoid that.

Two, partisan politics has gotten so bad that it is starting to warp and twist people's brains. "Obamacare" was demonized relentlessly by Republicans even though it was essentially a copy of a leading Republican health care plan at the time. The plan originally came from the Heritage Foundation and was championed by Mitt Romney, both of whom immediately turned around and demonized it as soon as a Democrat proposed it.

Third, the US right wing is fairly unique compared to the right wings of other countries, it has immense power, and it generally opposes this kind of thing for a variety of reasons. To varying degrees of justification they would tend to dismiss whatever arguments you might make or empirical evidence you might try to cite.

Fourth, the average American has no idea what single payer is, and has absolutely no idea that every other country in the rest of the developed world has something like it. Americans have no idea what life is like in other countries. They might know that Canada has some form of socialized medicine but might assume that to be a curiosity unique to Canada; and have never thought much about whether the Canadian system is any good or not.

Fifth, Americans would not generally assume that such a thing in any event is within the realm of possibility or competence of the US government. It's been many decades since the US has attempted any grand national experiment like this.

Sixth, because racism. Socialist programs would easily be seen as mostly benefitting other races; even if it was not at all true. Politicians can benefit themselves by exploiting this to varying degrees of subtlety.
I'm not trying to put words in your mouth about sharing copies (hence inherit, not borrow or get a copy of) - my main point was that while:

>> I would just consider having your own drm free backup.

> You bought the book, you own the pdf.

seems perfectly reasonable on the face of it - it implies removing the drm - which I think is still unclear if it is legal or not (per the dmca)?

I believe there was some case around backing up dvds (a notoriously fragile medium) - as well as circumventing drm in order to view legal copies (eg: play dvds on Linux/in vlc) - but I'm not certain if that was tested in supreme court or not - and if it would apply to ebooks.

I do know that with the initial draft of the dmca, circumventing drm was in and of itself illegal.
Engineering degrees are largely homogenized throughout the English-speaking world (plus a few other countries, but interestingly enough, not France) under the Washington accord.
It's not for cubesats, it's just the easiest way to test it.

Also, many satellites are not deorbited. Most satellites in medium to high orbits, especially those in geostationary orbit, are moved into graveyard orbits near their end of life when they are still operational, but they lack sufficient propulsion to deorbit or bring their perigees low enough for their orbits to degrade in a meaningful amount of time.

The point of this experiment is to test out a device that doesn't add significant extra mass to a satellite but would be able to deorbit it in a timely manner after it has reached the end of its usefulness. This would be a big step in keeping Earth orbit clean from space junk and is a worthy research endeavor, especially considering the low costs involved.
I don't know about the Apple ones, but I've definitely got keyboards of different qualities. Right now, I'm on a Lenovo that was built for classroom use. They keys have a nice travel distance, and a bit of click then they trigger. It makes it comfortable to type on. I've also got an HP Envy. The keypresses are shallower, the first tactile indication that you've triggered the key is when it hits bottom, and the edges of the keys aren't rounded as nicely.

I know that one hurts my fingers after typing for a few hours, and the other one is pretty comfortable after that same time.

Why would any company promote you and thus pay you more if they already extract nearly double the total work* out of you for the current pay? You are a mostly-replacable cog in their machine and it's in their best interest to pay you as little as possible for as much effort as possible.

Changing jobs isn't running from it. You change into a higher position with both higher responsibility and pay, and therefore move up.

Don't ever work extra to 'prove yourself'. All you're proving is that they're able to get more effort out of you for no extra cost.

My laptop has 2 sets of 3 physical buttons (HP zbook 15). Unfortunately it's got a number pad that puts the touchpad and the space bar out of center. I have to shift the whole laptop to the right and place the main windows on the left to have them where my eyes are. The only 15" laptop without that issue was a Mac but it comes with a top bar and a global menu which are worse issues IMHO.

It seems that most people but developers like and actually use number pads. I think I touched it ten times in 3 years, included checking that it worked.
Insurers don't care. I recently got mono. It took three visits to a doctor, who just prescribe two back to back courses of antibiotics, a referral to see an ENT on the last visit (which did not seem right and would have taken three weeks to get an appointment for). And finally me deciding "fuck it" and making a trip to the ER to get to the bottom of it. At the ER I sat in a chair four or five hours. They took some blood and ran a simple test and it was done. Total cost to my insurer was something around $4000. I paid about $160 all up. I tried contacting my insurer and the provider to explain this was ridiculous cost to sit in a chair, give some blood, and have a test done. My insurer is Cigna. They literally have no online way of sending them email or a message. And their call center is useless. So I gave that effort half an hour and gave up.
I can understand it might be a red flag for you. It's a clumsy choice of words. I do believe it's meant to say "and you are an asset to the company, in no risk of getting fired".

Though if you could tickle my fancy and go back and read it again, the context is "doing as much work as others" (lifting 100 crates). Which is a positive thing. So you "deserve" to keep your job.

I wonder what is it you'd do if they told you in person, that you can't do online?
Didn't read the whole paper, but they assert the same is true for 2048 rsa keys, it just requires more computing power, and not an absurd amount more.
yes administration is part of the cost. but when single payer healthcare means that you get two things: full coverage and full regulation. in most single-payer systems, the government is a monopolist of healthcare, and it acts as a price-setter. In the OECD article you linked, the next page explains that high prices are the main reason for expensive healthcare in the US.

OECD: "Leaving aside spending on administration, the high level of spending in the United States may be due to:
 The cost (or price) of health care being higher in the United States than elsewhere
 The United States providing more health care – more doctors’ appointments, more surgery, more
drugs, more diagnostic tests, longer stays in hospital – than in other countries"

The government would do away with insurers, you would pay $50 straight for a broken arm or whatever, everywhere, at every hospital.

American farming practices are, as a sibling comment of this one says, really the only reason there are large numbers of honey bees in America. Honey bees aren't a native species, and feral honey bees were eradicated from North America ~20 years ago by the Varroa destructor mite.
Where I live there is a standard blood test, which consists of at least 11 different values. It's a routine thing which is done at at your yearly check-up, but also to check for infections, for example. It is probably similar to a complete blood count (CBC)[1].

I'm not an expert, but from what I understand iron deficiency anemia (IDA) would show in several of these standard blood test values. Not only would Hemoglobin levels be low but also the size of red blood cells be influenced. For a more specific diagnosis of IDA you could ask for ferritin levels, which are not part of the CBC.

> the problem with healthcare has to be insurance.

It's a big part of the problem. For example, I believed that a certain medical procedure was in my best interests. I was told that insurance often doesn't cover the costs (i.e., the considered the procedure "elective." When I asked the price, I was told $700 – but if I forego insurance claims it's $400. And this was a super-reputable medical establishment. (Half of Silicon Valley probably uses it.)
Given that the sustainability of Intel's profit margins are dependent on it, I am surprised they do not put more effort into making parallel programming easier. For example, GHC Haskell has a very promising parallelism/concurrency story with its many available programming models, including software transactional memory and lightweight threads, yet it is Microsoft funding it and not Intel.
The target audience for this is college kids, who these days frequently use GitHub for consuming course material (e.g. boilerplate for class assignments). Doesn't seem like a bad move on their part to avoid rolling their own account system. People like one-click auth.
Consumer oriented laptops have touch screens. They are more efficient at controlling on screen stuff than touchpad. I'd like a touchscreen for my next laptop too.
I remember, here in the United States, we used to have "wine coolers" back in the mid to late '80s. Was never much of a drinker myself, and underage back then anyway, so can't say much about the quality, but your "wine drink" remark brought that back to mind. Thanks!

If it's a fresh kill, yeah if you're really that keen it might be worth cutting the tail off with an axe and cooking it up pretty immediately.

But Roo's need to be bled properly otherwise the meat goes to hell. You can get away with eating fresh tail, but really a roadkill roo wouldn't be very nice.

Plus, after 30 minutes in the sun, it'd be no good for anyone other than the flies.

Aside from the physical effects, quite possibly long-term but not conclusively proven to be the case (afaik), one reason to be extra-wary of heavy smoking < 25 is really all the usual stuff: lethargy, developing addiction/dependency, social and career stagnation. These can have a pretty negative effect at any age, but at a younger age the effects compound and end up much worse.

The things you learn and experience in your twenties are often crucial preparation for how you'll doing in your thirties and beyond. If much of that time is spent being high and doing little, you'll pay the price later on.

Basically, my experience (personal, and looking at friends and acquaintances) is that chronic, daily smoking often results in being 'stuck in place'. Getting stuck in the jobs, friendships, experiences, and relationships that dominate your early twenties is probably not a desirable outcome. On the other hand, a seventy-year-old picking up a weed habit probably won't suffer much from it. At any point in between I'd still argue it's better not to chronically dull your brain, but hey if you're happy do whatever you want!

That said, obviously this doesn't apply to everyone. But I know a number of daily smokers who started early, and with few exceptions they are not very happy or successful thirty-somethings (by any metric they or I care about).

That's pretty insidious. It's like Orange Juice flavor packets[1] but way more sophisticated. Instead of wanting a uniform predictable flavor across regions and seasons, here, instead they want to mimic local preferences and terroir.

My orbital dynamics knowledge is informed almost entirely from kerbal space program, but since the majority of satellites orbit with an eccentricity close to 0, shouldnt it be fairly simple to just do a radial-out burn and crash into the atmosphere, which generally does not require a huge deal of fuel.
Note: If you see a kangaroo (or any marsupial) dead on the side of the road, if it has a pink squiggle spray-painted on its side, someone has already checked it for a joey - so you don't have to try stick your hand into a gooey mess.

That's a lot more than the likes of the Mayo clinic recommend but presumably there is a reason for that. Even if there wasn't, nearly 3 hours outside per day in winter is not that attractive sounding.
I worked for a huge company with their own manufacturing in China. We did a beta run of a product and they used some black market components for a TI regulator. When we got the boards the output was dead on the regulator so we sent it to TI. They x-rayed the part and it was just an empty plastic package.
Some things are a metter of taste. That guy prefers wasting space for trackpad buttons, I largely prefer the MacBook Pro larger trackpad with tactile feedback. I also prefer monochrome keyboards. And just yesterday, I was marvelling at the sound I was getting from my laptop speakers. They are all but wasted keyboard space.

I totally agree but would like the study more if it were to be conducted on wine experts instead of winemaking students.

Winemaking is more about chemistry than flavor profiles.
Most people I know attach external display, mouse and keyboard to their laptops when they use it for programming, or writing large texts. The quality of the laptop keyboard itself it not really relevant. And you never be able to put a real good ergonomic split keyboard in a laptop anyway...
Google does both of these (paying lip service to diversity and asking for historical pay, even requiring it). I told them I thought this was suspect, and I almost laughed when they made an offer (which was somehow lower than what I was already making and disclosed to them).

I'm really interested to see how the whole wage gap DOJ thing goes, and how they will blame the gap on being "data driven".
Do you even vi? Remove everything! Here's a link to the pic of the keyboard for which vi was originally designed on:

Emus have a similar effect - a good amount of mass sitting up quite high on little thin legs. The things punch straight through the windscreen when you hit them.

Emus have the added bonus too of running directly at you when you sound the horn, instead of away as you'd expect. It's quite uncanny, and problematic at a hundred kilometres an hour.
The recursive search is frustrating. I'm so used to doing <first few letters><enter> to navigate from the root directory all the way down to what I'm looking for. It's not only the small hangs while it searches but also the information overload with all of the results when I'm only ever looking for a specific sub directory in the directory I'm currently in. I guess I'm so used to using it as a hotkey instead of a search.
I use all three a lot when editing text, although I suppose I could install vim extensions/plugins in everything I use instead. I'd say they're non-essential, but annoying to be without, in the way that I use my machine.
It's a relatively simple mix of economics and politics.

If the only thing we changed was a single payer, without changing anything else, prices would continue skyrocketing and the government would either have huge deficits or very high taxes, even compared to most of Europe: US healthcare is that expensive.

To make single payer work, what the US would have to do is to also force prices down. This can be done through price controls, like in Singapore, by directly owning hospitals and employing doctors, like a good percentage of Europe, or by increasing the supply of healthcare providers so much that prices must go down. Any and all of those things would cause an upheaval in the healthcare industry: A lot of jobs would be lost, and others would pay a lot less. Many investments, like those of hospitals that compete with each other by being the most luxurious and with the most MRI machines, or pharma companies that expected to be able to charge a whole lot more to US patients than they do in Europe, would go down the drain.

Every single bit of extra US healthcare expense an inefficiency is benefitting someone else. More efficiency when driven directly by government mandates, like a single payer system would aim to do, is a wonderful way to lose elections. This is not just why democrats don't really pursue single payer seriously, but why republicans don't propose any changes that would really make the system more market driven: It's hard to rein the profits of an industry that is over 17% of GDP.

I felt the same. I watched it all the way through and understand that it laid the groundwork so a better show like The Wire could be produced. But I agree with you. I hated Tony and basically everyone he associated with and was glad to see some of them killed off. I guess that means it was well written but its the reason I haven't bothered to rewatch.

The Wire on the other hand I've seen completely atleast 5 times and always notice something new.

7 months in, really like it. Much better than fixed keys.
Yes, correlation, not causation.
I also think that there's benefits that are harder to calculate. I switch health insurance often, and I always seem to have a bunch of healthcare bills to deal with.

Even just calling all the billing companies to get my insurance applied is a huge hassle, and when it comes due it can take a number of hours out of my day.

And occasionally, I'll get a bill from long ago that didn't have insurance applied, and it can be a big hassle all around.

The hassle and aggravation is almost certainly worse than the IRS that people are always complaining about (and rightfully so).
The fundamental point is that incentives are horribly misaligned between making money and providing health care the way the current system works.

Try having a pre-existing condition before ACA - no one will insure you because you're too expensive, or your premiums go ridiculously high. Think about that. The people who need insurance the most were denied it - this is perfectly in line with market forces of course because its cheaper. The other alternative is to believe healthcare is expensive for everyone because the healthy subsidize the ill, but oops if you're ill your costs are astronomically high anyways and insurance companies will fight you tooth and nail over expensive claims, so that doesn't hold much water either.

If you want to talk data look at spending on health care vs outcomes [1]. If market forces were working so well maybe we wouldn't spend 2x - 4x more than other countries with worse life expectancy to show for it? We can argue over where the money is going but its clear theres a lot more of it going in for worse outcomes coming out than most of the world.

Honestly, seeing that if you don't see ANY contradiction or perverse misalignment between the ideal goals of a health system and the current system, you must be a very healthy guy.
