They sent me a bill for over $900. For taking a picture, and giving me tylenol and an ace bandage.

That is awful :(

Imagine someone making minimum wage. 900$ is huge for most people.

Honest question - outside of politics, is there anything a person on the road do to help make this situation better (other than not falling sick)? Any company/org working on solutions?
And then the follow-up claim that users "simply notice native ad placements more" because they're in the content area, ignoring the fact that mobile users are way more likely to accidentally click them in the process of scrolling the web page. I know I've done this a nonzero number of times, compared with the zero number that I've deliberately clicked on.

And don't get me started on "welcome ads" aka "click the tiny near-invisible X in the corner to close the damn thing, and if you miss you'll get taken to some horrible site which will eat half your monthly mobile data".

It stuck out with me because it made me realise that many students were not at all emotionally well equipped to handle certain situations of adult life.

A problem here especially is how quickly anything done by the university is framed as an attack on the mental health and safety of students.

For example, in a recent survey, students were asked about their mental health issues. Examples of the university not being supportive enough were things such as 'I was not given an extension on an essay'.

These incidents make me realise that a non-trivial fraction of this generation of students really feels intense emotional distress to a point of needing counselling over things my generation would book under normal aspects of adult life. In these cases, there is also little self-reflection on one's own responsibility to handle such situations - everything is framed as an attack.

You also can't live without food but there is a market for that. Even when you don't have time to cook and need food on short notice, there are plenty of fast food and delivery options available.

There is nothing impossible about a situation where a hospital has a reputation for being cheap but having long wait times while another hospital is more expensive but has shorter wait times. Then in an urgency you wouldn't need to shop around, you would decide based on each hospital's reputation.

Unfortunately hospitals don't publish their median wait times, patient outcomes or even their prices. If they were forced to publish those things, maybe a market would emerge.

I'm puzzled when Americans say this, because their government spends far more on healthcare than other governments, and also doesn't provide universal healthcare.

The US is the worst situation: expensive government provision, that doesn't prevent the harm caused by lack of access, but which also causes harm with too much access for the wealthy.

> It’s the equivalent of food being “free.”

Even the US provides free food to the poor.

1. Just as with code: read and write a lot.

2. Have models to emulate.

3. Learn the rules.

4. Clearly structure your sentences, paragraphs, and larger semantic units (essay, short story, etc.).

5. Edit extensively.

6. Be kind to your reader: concise and clear will always be better than wordy and vague.

7. Vary your word use, sentence length, phrase structure, and in general, rhythm. A mumbling monotone is difficult to comprehend. Read your drafts out loud just to make sure you have FLOW.

8. Don't be a pompous ass. I am very smart, is not a great way to start. Avoid being cute, pretentious, precious, ponderous, and otherwise fake. Develop your voice, which is how you sound to other people.

"This is a remarkable article: it literally pins the blame for everything bad that non-white people do on the one thing white people (read Western Europeans) have criticized others for for two millennia: polygamy. Violence? Polygamy. Terrorism? Polygamy. Domestic violence? Polygamy. Child mortality? Polygamy.

Of course the article is so high on its own supply that it ignores divorce/remarriage of wives of elite polygamous men and, even more so, that enormous reality of western life: extra-marital sex. Despite this article’s claims, polygamy is always relatively uncommon. It would be good to know how common it is in comparison to men hogging more than one woman in non-marriage sexual relationships. Temporary? So are, in effect, many polygamous marriages. I’m stunned this article got published."- Jonathan Brown
One nitpick is that the $200k turning into $1M in 12 years is equivalent to 14% compounded annually. For context, the 90-year average annual growth of S&P 500 index before inflation (a commonly used standard benchmark) is only 9.8% (I'm guessing they backtracked this number since S&P 500 has only existed for 60 years) [1]. In 12 years, the expected value of that $200k would only be $614k. It's clear Gatto has cherrypicked his numbers by picking 1988 and 2000, which marked one of the biggest bull markets in recent history is by no means representative. What's more, the state can hardly be expected to invest in a pension fund composed of 100% equity, 0% bonds, so the expected return would likely be less than $614k.

The point seems to be more that "insurance" as a word betrays the original intention of the service while the current state of affairs demonstrates how much the concept has been bastardized.

Insurance is for those events where you don't expect a gruesome injury and need to insure, or hedge, against those one-offs. Preventative care isn't the same idea because you expect to get older and things to fail slowly. But barring any conditions or disorders, this isn't insurance against external sources of damage but just an action taken against inevitable consequences of having an organic body that tries to keep itself in a delicate and easily-broken balance for 50+ years.

If you want the super best performance, throughput and latency wise, and don't care about memory, then Apache prefork would be the way to go. Just make sure that Apache never needs to fork any new processes after startup.

Usually, of course, there are tradeoffs. In those cases, Apache w/ Event MPM is just as scalable, efficient and concurrent as nginx. Just make sure you are running Apache httpd 2.4.x on a modern OS, to make use of the non-blocking and async I/O and event handling of Apache httpd.

Had a bad bicycle accident about five years ago. No taxi would stop for me as it probably looked like I'd been in a drunken brawl.

I ended up walking 2.5 miles to the nearest hospital.

This is a meaningless dog-whistle comment by an incompetent minister. To my knowledge, the OfS will have no real power to regulate student unions, which are the primary organisations where “no-platforming” would be a policy, and fining institutions for the behaviour of students unions is just dumb.

I think it’s utterly vital that controversial views are aired, and that ludicrous fascist and racist views are publicly exposed to ridicule. But student unions are private organisations, governed generally democratically, and they must equally be free to decide on what policy they will take towards external speakers. The “no platform” policy of the NUS which is mentioned in the article is very narrow – it applies to six specified organisations, and forbids the use of union premises, speaking at union events, and rules out membership of those organisations for union officers.

Personally I don’t think it’s worth the cost, in particular because these policies have muddied the debate with a lot of ill-informed misinformation from every perspective - the various controversial speakers, for example, are not subject to any “no-platform” policy, but have been excluded from discussion based on the decisions of individual students.

Frankly the far bigger problem is the attitude of those individual students. It’s been about a decade since I was at university, but even then the entire sphere of student politics was filled with ill-informed reactionaries who had very little tolerance for the idea that people might disagree with them while not being evil. The idea of Peter Tatchell being excluded from a discussion of gay rights is outright ludicrous, and just reflects the bubble that these folk tend to live in.

That’s the thing we should be worried about, rather than some bogus hand-waving about safe-space policies that don’t actually exist and are just red meat to the usual shit-stirrers.

Checklist for Plain Language
I think this is a misunderstanding of what's going on here. The issue isn't hiding away messages - notably you can still find whatever they're saying fine, the ban only applies to public speaking events.

The point is that particularly antagonistic speakers attract attention not for the debate on the subject matter proper, but precisely for the rousing antagonism itself. So you're not necessarily going to get any real debate; nor will these speakers suffer in the brutal harsh light of public discussion - they'll thrive (regardless of the details of the message itself - that doesn't actually matter!) on public anger.

That's not constructive, nor is it what free speech is about. You're not helping everybody find truth, or any approximation thereof: you're holding a shouting match. You might think that's not so harmful. After all, people should be able to enjoy a kind of shared inspiration, and rational people wouldn't let that affect the conceptually unrelated issue of what was said. However, people - including you and me - aren't actually very good at separating serious message from noise; the way you consume information has an impact on your ability to process it usefully. It's not some hypothetical risk that whatever extreme standpoint the hostile speaker takes will can gain traction because people agree with their anger - misattributing their shared worries to whatever coincidentally happened to be the message used to spark controversy. This has happened many, many times before - and even though that's easy to see in retrospect, that didn't prevent the people caught up in the heat of the moment from going along with it.

I wouldn't want to suggest that controlling the message doesn't have its own risks - but that just means this is a tricky balance to make. What's certain is that fully unrestricted speech is harmful. Note that every society takes that for granted: they all have rules about incitement to violence or even terrorism, rules about deceiving others in various situations (fraud, perjury, truth in advertising), and rules about libel, and probably more. Getting the best out of free speech takes some tuning; it's not black and white.

I think the no-platforming rules seem perhaps somewhat excessive, by the way. But I don't think it's an issue of yay! free speech! either.

> Universities and student unions foremost reponsibility is to the safety of the students

Offhand, I would say that seems absurdly wrong.

Yes, but even if we accept the assertion that universities exist to shelter students, it obviously doesn't require stopping Germaine Greer speaking. Sure, maybe if there was some event so insanely contentious and violent that the full weight of law enforcement was unable to maintain safety it'd be justifiable to cancel a speech, but...has that ever happened? Really?

> Also unions are generally mandated to uphold an atmosphere of inclusion and tolerance

I think you've identified the root problem here.

I used to strongly agree with you. Some people are fucking arseholes who promote and provoke violence, and there's no obligation to give those people a platform.

But then you see who gets no-platformed, and it's not always those people.

When Peter Tatchil (gay rights) and Germaine Greer (feminist) get considered for no-platforming we know it's gone too far.

I feel that it clutters a nicely organized personal note, which adds to mental overhead.

The executable space protection seems like a more general basline pattern: An entity should either be able to write or modify something, or execute it.

Even if the migrant workers were exploited by local residents and employers, they were still better-off than they could gain in their rural home. I worked in Beijing for more than three years without registering any residential permit, renting a shabby apartment, which is built and owned by the locals, in the village to the north of the city area. Such apartments were cheap compared with the roaring rental and estate price, at the cost of insufficient space and fire fighting facilities. All those rental apartment could have been evacuated/demolished by now.

Yes, Beijing used to be cruel to migrant workers. Other cities in China used to be cruel, too. Being caught without a permit could lead to detention and forced labour until repatriated in early 2000s.

It is not even the fault of the Beijing local residents be to blame for the tragedy today. The cream of economy development was either intentionally or unintentionally hoarded in the metropolises while the second tiers cities never get the chance. People have to migrate and follow the money.
