I wonder if I can shitpost on HN all I want and state any moronic personal opinion as long as I preface it with "I wonder" to pretend I was actually interested in discussion rather than spewing my vileness onto my keyboard. You don't actually want an answer to that considering you already have some preconceived harebrained notion of poor people somehow avoiding contraceptives because of medicaid (doubly stupid considering Medicaid is what helps many people get checkups for reproductive health from doctors). Because clearly the solution to whatever problem you perceive is to cut health funding rather than actually increasing education. I'm more surprised you didn't just outright say "I wonder what would happen if we sterilized the poor" and go on a spiel about welfare queens since that's where your real motives lie. But guess you gotta veil that bigotry. I know in the "This is why Drumpf won" era, we're all supposed to engage you and respect your utmost right to freeze peach, but nah, take that shit elsewhere.
I’m gonna upvote that because you’re right, but I still feel there is a better word than “crisis.”

Words still have meaning.

Except “literally.”
And if the poster you replied to quits from his employer, isn't he just doing that because he's a rational (by his own metric of rationality) actor in the market? Presumably there is at least one un-unionized employer where he could get a job.
Yeah, I use USAA and hence have no local branches. For 4 or 5 years I kept a local credit union account, but to withdraw cash there I'd likely have to xfer it, wait 3-5 days, THEN withdraw it it wasn't a great solution either. Eventually I closed it because it was not useful to me.

When I had a BofA account, I once asked a teller if I'd need to notify them in advance if I wanted to take out a large amount of cash; when she asked how large she was thankfully able to stifle a laugh and instead say "that should be fine" when I told her "About $5k"
Don't be intentionally obtuse. The point of the comparison was to highlight that lower detection of something doesn't mean less of it.

This question comes up a lot. Not that it's a bad one!
A team of researchers 3D scanned WWII undersea wrecks
And this happened to me. Got a call from a collection agency claiming I owed them money a year after the birth. I called the hospital and got a written confirmation that they had no record of an unpaid or even late bill. I called my insurance and confirmed they had never received a bill for the amount claimed. Upon getting details from the debt collector (later than required by law), I saw a doctor's name. So I went to the hospital, and they had no record of a doctor by that name ever working for them.

The bill turned out to be legitimate, in that the doctor was a "traveling anesthesiologist" and was never an employee of the hospital. And they billed separately, and were never given my insurance information. The whole case ended up relying on my wife's signature on a long legal form that she signed while she was dilated to an 8. All the contact information (address, phone, company name) on the documentation led to people who could not confirm any details on the bill. The hospital told me that they have had a lot of reports of doctors who do their own billing not sending bills for months because they're not very organized.

Eventually the anesthesiologist billed it to my insurance correctly and I paid 10% of it. I later found out I could sue the debt collector for not providing details fast enough, but the statute of limitations on their violation had expired.

It's good to see languages finally admitting that expressions > statements. Still waiting for them to implement proper tail recursion though so I can replace statement based loops with expression based ones.

I agree, that's basically where I drew inspiration, but I wasn't very clear as I intend this to replace all (or most) other taxes such as income, sales and property (maybe not property tax).

I think it differs from a UBI in that the amount is variable, being percentage based, and could be justified as a something that is owed to the economic stakeholders hopefully avoiding the perception of being a handout. It would be like your citizenship payed dividends based on the GDP.

I think this more closely resembles the "Fair Tax" which is itself a variation and combination of a VAT and UBI.
Nintendo is also pretty darn old. Founded in 1889 and has been making games since the start. Talk about reinventing yourself with the market, or in recent history, inventing the market.

Not necessarily true. If enough people find the union valuable, believe in its aims, and want to participate in it, then the employer can't afford to lose or alienate the union employees, so the union has negotiating power (proportional to the employees that participate). If enough people don't find the union valuable, don't believe in its aims, and don't want to participate in it, then the union will correctly have less negotiating power because it represents fewer people.

People should be free to voluntarily associate with groups that represent them and their interests.

“The Problem Child of Seasonal Flu”: Beware This Winter’s Virus
The LA Times is long time anti-union organization, but bad leadership at the top was the issue. It appears that forming a union was a last ditch effort to get rid of the bad leadership. It seems to have worked.

In some ways, this looks like a reflection of what happened at Uber. Ousting bad leadership can be a difficult and complex process sometimes.
I don't know how you can possibly know that. They're there for a reason. This is that reason.
I used Finland and Sweden as they have dreamy metrics on everything-healthcare, but I understand that taxes are sky-high. In these countries I consider taxes to be an "investment" and when you need the State, then the State is there FOR YOU, and doesn't throw you under the bus in a time of need.

In some other European countries (e.g. the PIIGS) with the budget cuts, all social care/benefits have worsened dramatically.
Everyone's experience varies. Our first kid cost [our insurance] $100k - he spent 18 days in the NICU.
I think you're close. My observation suggests that kids are used to it, everything they do is new, they're inexpert at everything. They don't expect to be good.

Adults think that they should be capable simply because one tends to get better at things as an adult. The weight of expectation makes them often worse.

My field is pottery, some adults think they can just throw a vase on their first go, kids just enjoy the experience (on the whole) and don't expect to be good at it.

Kids, once they've learnt some fine motor control, don't make kid-pictures because they're kids, they do it because they haven't practiced. Adults try, and their observation can get them a little further, but they still make the same sort of pictures and are embarrassed because it's "childish".

I recently started a sports class where I'm ranked along with 7 & 8 yo kids, an interesting and humbling experience.

I seek things online often because I can find better products from specialty online retailers and I'm willing to pay a premium to get them. Traditional retail stores sell almost exclusively from the low end of the catalog; the low price, disposable SKUs. If it were possible to find Engineer brand tools at Home Depot or Keysight instruments at RadioShack or professional grade Addonics peripherals at Best Buy (the very sort of durable, non-disposable products you have prescribed for us all) I'd shop there, but they can't afford to stock their shelves with such things.

I don't believe the caricatures you've populated your mind with -- thoughtless consumers obliviously smashing the "Buy Now" button -- represent reality. There certainly are reckless people pissing away excessive disposable income, but most people put a lot of thought into their purchases and are not in need of your high wisdom and discipline.
Bah, you're very convincing, I'm going to have to go away and reformulate what I'm upset about. I can see that I've been using the wrong terms for everything. I save a lot of money, and I can't construct a big-picture argument that satisfies me of how 5% increases in the money base aren't really bad for someone and I want to know who (I still think it is savers, but no longer have an argument for that). That being said, I now see that any issues I come up with fall completely outside GDP and inflation.

However, your 200 coins scenario is not very agreeable to me:

1) Minor point, there is an assumption of over capacity where the widget producer could presumably produce 9 spare widgets most years.

2) More subtle point, widgets require raw resources to produce. Ignoring the machine to make the widget, the actual widget is presumably made of stuff or in the case of a service, the cost is the stuff required to maintain the servicer's lifestyle. Your scenario has quietly assumed that there are sufficient resources for our purposes.
I see the question on monetary policy as being ‘does this assist in the efficient allocation of resources’. I do accept that as correct, I don’t accept it as fundamentally relevant to what I think is important, because it hasn’t made reference to the resources used to produce the widgets (ie, what was the opportunity cost) and hence begs my question. The mechanics of the situation aren’t just the feelings of how much people want to pay, they are linked to resource availability vs willingness of market participants to work for what they want. It has made me understand why I thought inflation was irrelevant to my circumstances.

4) If a rational actor appears with excess currency and doesn't want to compete with other consumers for presently available resources, then they aren’t going to sit there cheerfully with 19 currency in their pocket. If they aren’t going to buy current resources, they will buy control of future resources. Otherwise it raises the question of to what end did they accept the new currency and why is it being created?

I'm going to have to stop there because my complaints need rebuilding, but I think I'll end up finding out what the name for asset-price inflation and properly learn about the velocity of money, but is since it isn't expressed in inflation then it must be competing for future resources which I expect to turn up in asset prices. If that formulation survives scrutiny, then something really interesting must be afoot to do with how future claims on resources will be settled.

Thanks again for your interest, this has been a very illuminating conversation for me that has reduced my ignorance of economics substantially and will improve my arguments in the future.
HP wanted to replace PA-RISC and that was big-endian. Intel of course wanted little-endian. That's why Itanium was selectable.
Well... you can try, to varying degrees of success. Commits, tickets, MTTR, sLOC. Not that any of those things can't be gamed if the culture demands it
I think especially in a seller's market a union would have a strong negotiation position to raise salaries and improve conditions. I don't think a union can help much in a declining industry.
Outcomes from such clauses also hinge on whether metadata describing the operation of their system - such as logs showing who communicated with who - is your data, or their data.

Following recent changes to law here in Australia, for example, metadata is essentially the property of the state.
Let's not forget that there are unions for highly skilled labor as well. When I was a classical musician I belonged to a very robust and very helpful musician's union. Everyone I know _always_ had a preference for union gigs as they usually paid better and ensured that you didn't have to deal with all sorts of nonsense from your employer (like rehearsals running overtime, not getting paid in a timely manner, blind auditions, etc).

Professional classical musicians require a great deal more training (and talent) than programmers to get to the level where they can make a living doing it.
Maybe it can be reduced to something simpler, because this is the first proof and proofs are often simplified later, but as far as proofs go this one isn't that complex.
If it's a "seller's market", why do so many developers work under onerous IP contracts that grant their employers rights to what they build in their spare time?

If it's a "seller's market", why do so many developers work in noisy bullpen environments where they have to blast music into their ears with headphones to focus their attention on what they're building?

If it's a "seller's market", why do so many developers have stories about working late at night and on weekends to ship features on bogus accelerated schedules they had little hand in setting?

If it's a "seller's market", why do so many developers accept payment in the form of equity that has to be executed at great expense immediately after leaving the company, and offers no actual guarantee of return after making that investment?

If it's a "seller's market", why are developers forced to move to the most expensive real estate markets in the country to work every day from a particular office when their work can be done more productively from their own home offices?

If it's a "seller's market", why are so many developers compensated with equity whose terms they're not even allowed to fully understand? And why is it that their common shares are last in line after liquidation preferences and VCs take their rake?

I don't understand how you can spend more than a few months on Hacker News without seeing the litany of complaints developers have about their working conditions. Not simply how much they're paid --- and make no mistake, plenty of developers have those complaints, and feel victimized by the way compensation is negotiated for in this market --- but also simply for how inefficiently and inhumanely their jobs are structured compared to what they so obviously could be.

Tech workers should organize. United they bargain, divided they write anonymous complaints on HN.

Yes, it’s worth evaluating preparedness anywhere a birth will be happening.

It’s probably easier to improve training and inexpensive emergency equipment at a birthing center than for a hospital to significantly decrease its cost. If high cost affects quality of healthcare provided, it might be better to fix birthing center edge cases than to avoid them.

Netflix doesn't pay per stream. They pay a one time cost to stream content. Spotify does pay per stream, but they don't pay more in aggregate based on how much people stream - at least from subscriptions. If 10 users pay $10 a month, there is a pool of around 70% - $70 that is split between all of the music that those 10 people listen to.
They aren't mutally exclusive, so I'll add it to my reportoire.

For non-national-health-service private care.

For the rich, basically. NHS is free, but has its issues with inconsistent service and long(!) wait times.

Private is hit and miss, but significantly faster and significantly(!) more expensive. Hence the insurance.

Here's one possible way: by exploiting their negotiating position to act as a check against management's impulses to sell cathedrals of journalism for spare parts on the promise that maybe the resulting third-tier incarnation of Buzzfeed that will result might temporarily juice returns to owners. Maybe it's possible that the people actually doing the work know better about how to run a successful media company than the Troncs do?

Infectious flu virus in exhaled breath of symptomatic cases
Not sure what his source is, but from the article:

Andrew Clement, a computer scientist and expert in surveillance studies, has been mapping the NSA’s warrantless wiretapping activities since before Snowden’s disclosures. He strongly believes the agency would not be restrained in their uses of speaker recognition on U.S. citizens. The agency has often chosen to classify all of the information collected up until the point that a human analyst listens to it or reads it as metadata, he explained. “That’s just a huge loophole,” he said. “It appears that anything they can derive algorithmically from content they would classify simply as metadata.”
You are likely confusing cause and effect. Comair was having issues before the union got involved. The union simply made the companies failure more obvious.

Not sure I'm convinced. Your store does ok; that's certain. But you know about exactly one more store than I do; do you know the article is wrong for all stores? For a majority? For any? Not sure how far that induction can go.

If even one store did ok, we could see an employee from there posting here. Not sure that is information; more like a data point.

> It would be helpful if Twitter provided a definition of "Major Party". Does that just mean Republican and Democrat?

I'm almost 100% certain they just mean Republican and Democrat. 3rd parties are (very) rarely invited to highly-publicized debates and/or granted equal air time when compared to the the Rs and Ds. Why would twitter 'elevate' them to the same level?
