>Right, inefficiency tends to harm both equitability and value/cost(loose efficiency definition)

Well no... Inefficiency is totally independent of equitability.

>For example, healthcare in the US was relatively very cheap 50 years ago, where it was still private.

This increase in healthcare expenditure across time has happened in all western countries has it not?

>Instead of looking so broadly at private vs public, its better i think to focus on why its expensive.

Broadly looking at private vs public is a very good way to guide our focus to what makes our healthcare in the US so expensive.

>And I can assure you that the top 5 reasons why healthcare in the us is expensive is due to government irresponsibilities.

You mean how the government has failed to regulate more? How the government has failed to de-privatize certain portions of the American healthcare system? How the government has hamstringed public options (like Medicare) to prevent the american public from realizing how much cheaper the government can provide care than can a private system? Totally agreed!

>If the government cant even fix its own mistakes, how is it going to handle a much larger responsibility?

What are you talking about? Private healthcare companies make mistakes all the damn time. The reason we trust government is because we get a voice in it. If your point is that american government needs to be more democratic and responsive to the wishes of individuals and cut the crap when it comes to sponsorship by large insurance conglomerates then I'm all with you.

>I did.

Did I miss it? Maybe you could post it again here. I'm just looking for what could change your mind.
Good points. If you go back to java development and want to try a fringe build system, Kobalt is nice and straight-forward compared to maven/gradle. You configure the project in a kotlin file using a DSL. You may never need a plugin and the DSL + Kotlin give you a hybrid of Maven and Gradle.

>And if they were working on changing the law, or explicitly appealing to justice, that might carry some water.

Google/corporations as whole regularly do spend their money on lobbying/political pursuits. This is rather often criticized however.

>Your moral remedy for this is to vote, not to steal

Are you conflating Google avoiding taxes as theft? If so, why is there a governmental right to corporate earnings, especially considering tax shelters are using legal loopholes?

Further, how is it morally correct for me to donate money to a government that I fundamentally disagree with, as by giving them money I am atleast financially supporting their acts?

Their stock price was temporarily damaged, and they had to have an awkward hearing in front of congress - that seems light when compared to their negligence which handed over financial and personal information for most of the country to hackers unknown. On top of this, they delayed telling the public, they admitted they only encrypt "some" of their data at rest, and a few of their executives sold stock between the time the company knew about the attack and the public didn't.

Your argument is wise to consider the "let he who is without sin" perspective, but I don't find it that compelling. They had a hoard of valuable information which they carelessly stored and they paid essentially zero consequences. If I had to choose between this world, and the world where Equifax was just liquidated with the proceeds going to people affected, I'd prefer the latter. "Won't somebody think of the shareholders?" I have, but I've also contemplated the tens of millions harmed by their incompetence.
People tend to focus on their biggest fears. It is an overwhelmingly male forum. It's not really rational, but pointing to statistics about homelessness and gender as a way to dismiss other points about the feminization of poverty is really common. It probably comes from a place of fear and suggests to me that men are saying "It isn't like my life is just peachy. And if I can't hack it, then fuck me. Society won't do shit all for me."

And that's not a crazy thing to be wrapped around the axle about, though it doesn't generally make for good debate.
> Nobody wants to go public with a pending lawsuit

I'm pretty sure every large company in the world is involved in multiple lawsuits at any point in time (both offensively and defensively).
> Look up 1040-NR

1040-NR is an income tax form, and has basically nothing to do with Social Security and Medicare taxes, which are payroll taxes rather than income tax. They do show up onninckme tax forms when paid as self-employment (including the 1040-NR, where presumably they would not appear if they did not apply to nonresident aliens.)

> As a non-resident alien, you're not required to pay social security and medicare.

Incorrect, from the IRS: “Wages paid to nonresident aliens employed within the United States by an American or foreign employer, in general, are subject to Social Security/Medicare taxes for services performed by them within the United States” [1]

My mother cheated on my father and he left her because of that.

He was required (by Texas law) to pay child-support to my mother up until we were 18 (I am 29) to my mother who cheated on him; he still owes back pay on that and refuses to pay until they put a warrant out for his arrest.

My mother demonized him to us by crying about not knowing why he left her; she never once mentioned until 5 months ago that she cheated on him.

Dad regrets leaving us (his kids, not my mother) because it put a rift between us. We never knew the truth until recently when my mom let it slip in a conversation.

At this point I feel like he has been punished enough by the state of Texas for leaving my cheating mother.

Recently my eldest brother had a girl and my father has been in her life as much as he can and I'm incredibly happy for that (not jealous one bit) because at least my niece will have something my brother and I never had because he was soured by her behavior.

We grew up poor because of my mother's infidelity...

Don't store your passwords anywhere, have them be determined by generating a unique password based on the service name and a master password with an added salt, this is similar to other proposed algorithm methods except more secure because your unique salt is used in addition to your master password, so even if someone guessed/learned your master password (e.g. social engineering) they would not be able to generate the same result passwords for services without your unique salt that's only located on your device(s) which should (hopefully) be physically secure.

This way you only need to remember one password (master) to re-generate your password for any given service, and nobody can replicate the resulting service passwords without knowing BOTH your master password and your salt.

I wrote a proof of concept a few years ago, it's pretty outdated and generating word phrases would be better than just hashes, but it conveys the idea:

> Let's put it this way. If every contended mutex were a bug, why not remove the mutex and let the code run as-is? No, you wouldn't, so no, not a bug.

I mean, the parent's argument is wrong, but isn't that naive. Presumably the argument is a bad (yet still correct) solution would result in lock contention while a better solution would e.g. use a different algorithm that is more parallelizable.

I worry that this is path dependent. Recently, I went to a talk by a guy from New Zealand with an expensively manageable disability. I asked him what it would take to get the NZ accident compensation scheme to happen in Australia. The answer was, "Start funding it 30 years ago. It's great, but there is no way that NZ could afford it today."

"RaiBlocks achieves consensus via a balance-weighted vote
on conflicting transactions. This consensus system provides
quicker, more deterministic transactions while still maintaining a strong, decentralized system. RaiBlocks continues this development and has positioned itself as one of the highest performing cryptocurrencies."

Which I would follow with more from the paper:

"H. Proof of Work
All four transaction types have a work field that must be
correctly populated. The work field allows the transaction
creator to compute a nonce such that the hash of the nonce
concatenated with the previous field in receive/send/change
transactions or the account field in an open transaction is
below a certain threshold value. Unlike Bitcoin, the PoW in
RaiBlocks is simply used as an anti-spam tool, similar to
Hashcash, and can be computed on the order of seconds [9]."

"B. Transaction Flooding
A malicious entity could send many unnecessary but valid
transactions between accounts under its control in an attempt to saturate the network. With no transaction fees they are able to continue this attack indefinitely. However, the PoW required for each transaction limits the transaction rate the malicious entity could generate without significantly investing in computational resources. Even under such an attack in an attempt to inflate the ledger, nodes that are not full historical nodes are able to prune old transactions from their chain; this clamps the storage usage from this type of attack for almost all users."

I hadn't really noticed, so I will just assume you are correct. But:

It is an overwhelmingly male forum. So not surprising that men generally are more aware of male reality than of female reality.

There have also been rebuttals of the worst and most inaccurate pro male comments.

Most people here seem to genuinely be interested in understanding and not merely looking to shoot me down.

It used to be a great deal more onesided and challenging, to the point where you couldn't say anything about the reality of women's lives without it being a flamewar or beatdown.
Spanner is very cool, but AFAIK you will only ever use it when you realize you need to use it. It costs a minimum of $400/mo (3 nodes, in a single region, triple that for multi region) and the API is non-standard (you can execute non-DML SQL against it, but DML queries are via RPC).

Aurora, OTOH is very easy to setup, speaks both Postgres and MySQL which makes it a ton more accessible. Spanner is amazing, but I don't think it will get the distribution to be DBMS of the year.

In that case, I really wish GCP had an Aurora-like solution. A standard-SQL database for applications on a pay-per-use model. Not having to lock your application into something like Cloud Datastore is nice and not having to teach people about it's weirdness is better.

It's pretty amazing just how much data Equifax has on consumers. They also own TheWorkNumber which contains data from HR/payroll of any company using the service (everything from pay, title, insurance info, union affiliation etc). I'm not sure what hackers got away with but potentially much more than just some SSNs.

Then there are countless other credit analytics companies hoarding all kinds of other specialized data. It's scary to think about.

As a PSA: check out the list [1] of credit reporting companies that the CFPB puts out. It has the names and contact info for most and you can get copies of your full reports from them upon request (most are either required or do so voluntarily). It's a lot of effort to hit all of them but pretty eye opening and, frankly crazy, to see just how much is tracked. There are databases for how often, and where, you return items to stores/businesses as one example.

Exactly. My mother cheated on my father; she got custody of us and had to be both mother and father while also growing up in poverty.

She also demonized him to us as if it was his fault for leaving her.

Her cheating also made a head while she was both dating my current step-dad and another man who could also have ended up as my step-dad.

Needless to say, I have a hard time with relationships because my mother's have been extremely out of the norm.

> Your moral remedy for this is to vote, not to steal

The fact that people can disagree with that might hint that morality is a bit more complex than absolute.. unless we talk to philosophy departments which like to push absolute morality, which seems to me like a scheme to create never ending debate ;)

I could see an argument that robin hood was a moral figure in his time. I could see the morality in a contentious objector who goes to the front line to shoot at the sky, or in Schindler purposefully minting defective rounds, or in the sit-ins and civil disobedience of the 60s. And I can also see morality in protesting an abortion clinic, even though I don't personally agree with those protestors.

But this is of course difficult to grapple with at least on a larger level because it can create a lot of chaos when we're all off forcing our own moral choices on others.
No, toxicity is generally determined by dosage of a particular toxin, not grouped by toxins and non-toxins (example: water). This definition holds here too.
A word of caution: while DAG-only chains are a promising area of research for cryptocurrency data structures, there are many unresolved problems with them.

IOTA solves it with a centralized coordinator and claims to have decentralized solutions being planned. RaiBlocks is, in my opinion, more honest about its vulnerabilities and its progress in solving them (they say they're working on it). Since RaiBlocks has no centralized coordinator, it could come under attack as soon as a shorting market emerges for it.

As Flow of Foreign Students Wanes, U.S. Universities Feel the Sting
In BTC land PoW = fee. In RaiBlocks they use it more like a Captcha before sending a transaction, effectively getting rid of Fees because it's just as useful anti-spam. (However, I think that fee transactions are actually quite important in a blockchain because you don't want nodes wasting resource adding and checking nonsense even if the captcha was computed.)
> Those employers contract with our government for totally uncapped contract sums.

No, they don't. Billing rates are fixed based on the experience and education levels of the people working on the contract. If the government says they won't pay more than, say, $250/hour for a security expert that is all the contractor is going to get, and that in turn limits the amount the contractor can make. Pay at government contractors is better than the government itself, but it is still shit compared to the rest of the tech industry. This is particularly true when you look at variable compensation (which is virtually nonexistent in government contractor land).
