> Medical care is a commodity
> No, it's a right.

You cannot have a right to healthcare without taking the right to not work for someone else. You have a right to access healthcare, you dont have a right to force someone to service your health.

And you shouldn't either.

> In the UK, Sweden, Norway, and many other civilized countries, everyone pays into a public pot that is used to provide medical care. Because of this, our workers are much more healthy, and much more able to work without the stress of "what if I get injured during work". They do not have to die of preventable diseases like septicemia, from something silly like duct taping their glass cut because they cannot afford to be treated.

This is medicare. Would you say medicare is economically successful?
So what caused 'mild traumatic brain injuries'? Mass hysteria?
if even medical care is a commodity, what's the point of paying taxes?
The biggest problem, I am willing to bet, is that the gamification and the parameter changes are being done by desk jockeys who have never worked the floor at one of these warehouses.
Ok, I read this. I fail to see what all the hubbub is about. Seems like the Republicans wanted to pump up that this memo was going to incriminate the Democrats' investigation in some way but all I'm reading is that the FISA warrant against Carter Page may not have been entirely appropriate, mostly because of information revealed later on? From what I can tell, this does nothing to disprove the Trump campaigns contacts with Russian officials to get dirt on Hillary Clinton. Seems like a good way to make their base think that the campaign is a, "witch hunt" and feed conspiracy theorists who will take this memo to mean far more than it does. Also it will undermine faith in the FBI once again which Republicans seem bent on doing.
Switzerland is hardly homogeneous. 29% of residents are foreign born, which is one of the highest in the developed world (double that of the US). It has four main languages with the largest of those only being the first choice for 60% of the population. If anything it is less homogeneous than the US.

Sure, also, C++ code is also typechecked only for files that you feed to the compiler and include in your image.

C++ templates being checked only for instantiated types makes them flexible. E.g. a template that accesses type::foo or instance.foo will work with anything that has a member named foo. That template argument doesn't have to have a declared relationship to any type which has foo, which would be an annoying restriction for the users.

Types that aren't instantiated don't exist. They don't correspond to anything in the executable image. Worrying about them is like a recording studio fussing over how much reverb to add to a one-handed clap.
It would be computer assisted remote control, similar to how a drone works. The remote operator provides general directions but the computer has direct control over the vehicle systems to implement those directions in response to sensor feedback.

Human reaction time is very slow so to do better than a human definitely does not require zero latency.
OK, it "doesn't seem more objectionable than any other hostile takeover". Fine, but why put up with any hostile takeover at all if you can just leave?
I understand the narrative, its the 'tiger outside the village'or the 'wolf in the forest' sort of tale that there is this "bad thing" that will randomly attack/kill/impoverish people that collectively we could eliminate if we just had the will, as a community, to do so. And I don't disagree, we could overcome the badness if we had the will.

Where I part company with the narrative is over looking how we have structurally made the 'collective' so large as to prevent such a decision to be taken.

I expect that if you were to poll San Francisco you would find overwhelming support for a single payer, 'state' (and by that I'm using the notion of the collective government not the state of California) administered health care system for residents. No doubt it would be paid for by taxing some of the wealthiest residents or as part of some sort of rent/property taxation plan.

You might even be able to get this passed (agreed to) for the entire state of California.

However, country wide consensus on the issue is elusive and often divisive.

The saying goes that "all politics are local" and to a large extent that is true. But I wonder why it is that the state of California was progressive enough to legalize marijuana but can't get something like this done? The current punch line is "This isn't a problem in North America if you are Canadian."[1] so why is that the case in California? We've got the largest state economy in the US, we've got the largest population base, and we're bigger than France[2]. So what is the hangup with just showing the rest of the country how things 'should' be done rather than complain about how things are being done 'wrong' ?

[1] And yes I know there are plenty of complaints about the system there as well, it is still better than what you get south of the border.

I couldn't help but to think about basic income while reading this article. It seems like the vast majority of people in these Amazon warehouse stories hate working there but really have no other options at the moment. Basic income would allow these individuals to perhaps work at lower paying companies that prioritize worker morale over profitability.
You should negotiate with the hospital. You can normally get it down to 10% of the original amount and put on a payment plan. Their first bill is never what they think they'll receive. Its just their opening offer.

There are even services that will help you negotiate it down. (Half the reason for insurance isn't even their coverage - it's the negotiated rates.) Hope this helps you.

You can create arbitrary sticker packs all you want from within the Telegram client using one of Telegram's own bots (Stickers, similar to BotFather for creating bot accounts). I've made a few myself. Unless Telegram promotes them in the stickers section, they have to be shared manually after that. Telegram itself does not prevent you from making any sticker pack you want.

I'm not really sure what point you are making. Just because something can be exploited doesn't mean it's bad. Free speech, automobiles, secure communications...all can be used for good or bad. Sure, there exist people will exploit anything for their own ends, perhaps in this case either guilt-tripping or validating a person's existence. For example that's the whole basis of nationalism.

My point is that every one of us is born, without our control, with a set of advantages and disadvantages, basically an enormous set of D20-rolls. Nobody has any moral superiority or inferiority based on that set of advantages and disadvantages. But you, and society, derive an ethical benefit when you can dispassionately recognize how your set of advantages/disadvantages helps and hurts you especially when those impacts are implicit.

Here's a trivial example of how this awareness can help you: I can walk around fine so why should I want businesses to take up space with access ramps instead of staircases and street kerbs? Well when I was on crutches I suddenly needed those ramps. If I hadn't been attuned to the invisible advantage I had of being able to walk around I probably wouldn't have supported this kind of upgrade.

Another, more diffuse example: that smart kid in a poor neighborhood, if she has an opportunity to go to a good school might develop the cure for the disease you have. You'll never know either way.
In the past year I had one rattle at me on a hiking trail, and almost walked into one on a paved path that hundreds of people walk on... You're quite wrong.

This is a good way to sort out the ones who can't negotiate. They have no place in a capitalist society anyway. /s
Less than 7 hours (6 or less) is typically considered a part time arrangement. If you're a high performer, you can try to negotiate for this kind of situation, but it's rare to start a job with that type of benefit. You should expect to lose a proportionate amount of your salary, (keep in mind that depending on your tax bracket, the percentage hit to your take home will be less affected.)

The benefit of being officially on part time is that it sets everyone's expectations and shouldn't negatively impact your promotion trajectory, especially if you're able to fulfill your duties on a part time schedule.

From the link provided, only 5 people die.

> "It has been estimated that 7,000–8,000 people per year receive venomous bites in the United States, and about 5 of those people die."

For a more accurate comparison, you would compare this with the number of injuries and deaths from firearms.

> "In 2013, there were 73,505 nonfatal firearm injuries (23.2 injuries per 100,000 U.S. citizens), and 33,636 deaths due to "injury by firearms" (10.6 deaths per 100,000 U.S. citizens)."

Preferably these would be broken down to separate handgun injuries to be a closer comparison to the stat you provided, but the point stands to illustrate that the comparison you provided muddies more than enlightens.

To bring up statistics like this just muddies the issue, particularly with a hot-button topic like firearm violence. There's a lot more goes into a nuanced discussion than throwing out stats like this.

Highlight point is: A pilot's hours are in almost all cases "without an incident". The problem is Google's accounting is "total miles". Distance or time isn't the problem, it's the fact that it includes "incidents" that, without a test driver, would likely be "accidents".
The billing infrastructure is a huge source of cost that is often unmentioned. Getting anything done in the US is so damn hard and time consuming as a patient wrt to anywhere else I've lived (six counties)

I have a game I play when I go to the Dr.: Estimate the ratio of Dr.s to administrative staff. In the US there are offices where I've seen with two admins per Dr.

In Canada (where I'm from) I usually see two Dr.s per admin.

There are other costs. Too few Dr. having too high a salary

Another fun game to play. Find a recent list of Drs per capita for the various countries and go throught the sorted list. English speaking countries fare really bad, but the US does very well among English speaking ones. Why? It's a lot easier for an English speaking Dr. to move to the US than an non English speaking one.

ObamaCare was mostly a failure. I had it in between jobs for a few months, it's gotten worse since. It really doesn't make sense for a young person to buy it unless you have a per-existing condition.

Bush also made it worse by prohibiting drug re-imports (and letting pharmas charge medicaid whatever they want??)

Ultimately too many too powerful people have interests in keeping the US health care in the state its in, so it'll continue like this until it collapses.

Because of the value of his stock. NOT income from sales! Amazon does not have extra money from sales to raise wages with. Their retail business runs at a loss actually. Raising wages would make things even worse.

That's not what short changing is. Short changing is not delivering what was promised.

There is no magic fairy that can go around giving people money, as you seem to think "just give them more money".

There's a reason we tell students to finish high school, and go to college or a trade school - to avoid these kinds of jobs.

You actually want to help them? Figure out how to give them more education. Complaining that Amazon is helping them, but "not enough" is worthless.
It is absolutely slate-pitch-y to mark that as "mass hysteria", especially given the way that it originally arose to public attention i.e. through specific opinions of people in power who themselves had no experienced the phenonmena. The piece is also just awful, lots of weasel words ie "appears", "on the surface", plus it side steps that "mass hysteria" is as unlikely to produce the brain matter changes as a supposed fantastical secret weapon. I'm the last person to want to whip up war fever by pinning a bogus cause on an unknown phenonmena. I'm also pretty tired of reading slates garbage.

Also, calling it a "bid for attention" is soft pedaling it I think, its pretty nakedly about clicks.

SpaceX Gears Up to Finally, Actually Launch the Falcon Heavy
"In this case, the judges were not shown the evidence. "

What evidence, precisely, do you think? As all the caselaw i cited says, bias is not evidence. The standard for probable cause is not very high.

Fun fact: it's also not legally actionable, even if evidence was hidden, if it's likely the warrant would have been approved anyway.

"Again, an FBI officer is supposed to recuse if there is even the appearance of a conflict of interest. That's the legal standard. "

Please cite actual caselaw instead of bare assertions.
I'm aware of no caselaw that says this, and i'm a lawyer with a significant amount of knowledge about FISA warrants and FBI guidelines/rules.

The only regulations here are internal to the FBI (though published in the CFR i believe), which are not "a legal standard" and are 100% irrelevant to what they need to do in front of a court.

(also note that there is a separate set of FBI guidelines that are classified that cover certain types of investigations. I do not remember if they cover the investigation type that occurred here)

Businesses cannot afford the risk of using operating systems without security updates. Realistically, consumers shouldn't either. If you realistically think buying businesses a bunch of Windows 7 PCs and keeping them running past the end of support is okay... keep a polished resume handy, because something is going to happen, and the businesses who you support are going to realize whose fault it was sooner or later.

We are not in a place in the world security-wise where your attitude is workable in a modern business environment.
