I've always wondered to what extent the high cost of health care in the US is subsidizing universal health care in other countries. If it actually costs millions of dollars to create and test a single medication, but that medication is cheap in other countries and expensive in the US, universal health care in the US may drive up the actual cost everywhere else.
I'm willing to bet you forced the system into an all-red "safe mode" when it detected tampering.
I haven't heard these stories and would like to. Where can I find more?
They work for highway, bridges etc. I think OP was suggesting something like every road in a city being a toll road, with a different toll per road. How much infrastructure would be needed to make this drivable, get the different road owners their money, make sure that each road owner is maintaining it.

Better to have these huge number of interconnected roads maintained by one group responsible for them.
Be polite, be kind, explain in a manner the consumer can understand - if you can't explain at their level, maybe you don't understand it well enough yourself.
Interesting - I wonder if it varies by region. A few years back I had mixed luck with both in Seattle, my recent experience is in Bay area.

I do agree on Facebook there is more noise than I found on craigslist. I think this is because of the UX, Facebook makes it easy to send a false positive for interest whereas on craigslist it takes more effort and therefore reduces the signal to noise ratio for buyers who are actually interested.
He is not. He's hitting like every disgusting talking point there is.
There's a simple thought experiment that helps:

- an american citizen break his leg, he is not insured. Do you A: let him die B: take care of him ?

if your answer is A - you are a terrible person, but you hold a consistent position. if your answer is B - the only question that remains is what is the most economic, efficient way to take care of this person ?

b is universal health care. if you think you can do A with emergency care, consider how inefficient and expensive this is, and who ends up paying for it.
I was actually doing something similar with my ISP.

I have used one, but not the other, so this is not a comment on whether Graal is as good or not as good, but along the line "they did it right with the previous system, so there's hope to get it right this time, too".
Again, the fact that the court made a decision for the patient has nothing to do with how the healthcare system of the country is funded. Courts and the legal system make decisions about children's lives against the wishes of parents all the time. Courts remove children from parents that they deem unfit. Courts decide that one parent or the other should have sole custody of the child against the wish of the other and many more examples.

Quite frankly I'm much more scared of a system where a parent has complete and absolute control over a child no matter what than one where a court can step in and overrule a decision of a parent. The doctors and courts owe their duty of care to the patient not to the parents.
Many people would also lose access to health care. Remember when a pre-existing condition meant you were fucked for life? It wasn’t that long ago.

Fully privatized, deregulated systems can work out great for people who are lucky enough to avoid financial hardships, bad planning, or being born into bad circumstances. I’d rather not just screw everybody else.
Ask HN: Giving away currencycare.com
I picked this domain up from another HN member last year with the intention of doing something with it, but ended up, not. When he transferred it to me he asked that if I don't use it to put it back into the HN community. So I am doing that. It expires in 5 days, so its now or never.

If you're interested, shoot me a reply or an email ( j <dot> curcio <at> me <dot> com ).
I think templated or generic handle classes are pretty good for dealing with foreign objects. They can handle any bookkeeping a VM requires.

The background is that I've been playing with C to write Win32 apps that are highly backwards compatible (back to 3.11/Win32s if possible) but also modern when running on newer Windows versions.

For the latter I've been manually writing COM exports which was painful but it works. This made me consider C++ as an alternative where I'd be able to use templated types (and destructors!) to great effect. I can limit my use of the standard library to keep it freestanding.

However I would still be limited to writing native code, which is why I'd like something that can target the Android Runtime and such.

Hey, what happened to "move fast and break things?". Put that poster on your wall, it will work wonders.

In all seriousness though, writing code (and especially production deployments) can sometimes be stressful. Smart people do stupid things sometimes, or some random event occurs, and makes them look that way... after a while, you learn to separate your persona from your work product.

One other thing you start to value after a while, is directness. While sugarcoating things sometimes makes people feel better, most effective teams are good at delivering facts, or if it's an opinion - making a logical case to support it.
> The government has final say over healthcare decisions

No, the medical professionals, i.e. doctors do.

"the unanimous opinion of the doctors who have examined him and the scans of his brain is that almost all of his brain has been destroyed".

I probably now fall into this camp as well. I made fun of Apple for years, but while I still hold an emotional and likely completely irrational dislike for their products, if someone were to ask me for a recommendation on a phone today, the only phone I could recommend in good conscience is an iPhone, because it's the only option that takes privacy and security seriously right now.
Thanks! We want to integrate Tensorflow.js to have the models run in the browser for easy sandbox/experimentation. We loved the visual aspect of Tensorflow Playground and feel a visual graph approach where you can see the output of operations really helps you understand what is happening.

The receivers choose which messages to expose by selecting which events to listen for. The broker then only forwards those events. The question is, how do the receivers specify the event type? Do they use the schema of the publisher, or some intermediate interface at the broker?
Sure, my bad, in re-reading I can see how this wasn't clear.

I meant along the lines of: I can't see how allowing medicare to negotiate drug prices, letting nurses do more of what doctors do and publishing prices gets the US medical system anywhere close to a 50% reduction in per capita spend, or gets the US any closer to covering 100% of the population. The US should do each of these. Each would make a difference.

What the country needs, though, is real reform.

And also, yes, socialized medicine is dramatically more efficient. Medicare's overhead is only 2% whereas that of private insurance is 18%. Just knocking that off the top would bring the US per capita expenditure much more in line with the OECD.

What is wrong with self confidence? In software engineering there are lots of ways to build solutions to problems, most of the cons of a design are not foreseen and become evident in future life of the product. Therefore, to convince a team of your idea/direction/design/solution I consider self confidence a prerequisite.

In my experience self-confidence is a core attribute of a leader, lacking this means you doubt yourself or are uncomfortable owning your idea. If you cannot own your idea how do you expect the rest of your team or company to own it?
The idea of universal care is that everyone have insurance. Before Obamacare my sister got cancer. She wasn’t lucky enough to have an employer nice enough to provide insurance through her job. Even people with insurance often times face financial ruin. Especially before Obamacare was enacted.
Sounds very interesting, although Ivelope interacts a lot with the OS, and a lot of the Electron API would need to be added.

My wealth? Didn't I just say above I'm not wealthy?

Just because the state provides benefits (self-defense, rule of law, etc) doesn't preclude you from ownership rights, not really following your argument there.

Taxing one group and providing the benefits to another is a wealth transfer, however unappealing the idea sounds to you.

How is not favoring selective taxation "nihilist"? If I were a nihilist I'd believe in nothing and favor no taxes at all.

You're passionate, I get it, I want sick people taken care of too, but I don't really see how your arguments add up.

If you're a business with actual customers, your decision about which browsers to support and where to draw the line is going to be driven by whether not supporting them costs more money than supporting them, not by whether the dev team would prefer people to download software worth taking seriously or buy a newer phone if they wish to continue being customers.

Very cool, at my current job we have a realtime ETL process using Maxwell & Apache Kafka to stream replication events to a set of Node servers for a variety of transformations.

Seeing that this isn't hooked into replication is a bit worrying, but it seems they are going to implement it as a replication client which should make it much more robust.
> A person ought not face financial ruin.

The logical consequence of this is that any cost must be paid. And if the person cant pay it someone else does. So if someone gets a rare cancer whose treatment has 1% effectiveness and costs millions, it should be paid by someone else.

The principle is wishful thinking, not economics. We as people every day make trades of our life for money. We pick a means of transportation riskier than other to save some money, we choose to use a bike to be physically healthier in the long run but expose to short term risks. We eat those cheese french friends with a beer, or smoke. Etc etc.

We are no strangers to paying our pleasures with our life.

- It is the tendency of all men to magnify their own services and to disparage services rendered them, and private matters would be poorly regulated if there was not some standard of value. This guarantee we have not (or we hardly have it), in public affairs.

Americans often believe that universal healthcare is this pristine ideal that will solve everything, but thats because you haven't analyzed the consequences of it and its real life consequences.

The problem of healthcare in the us is not public-vs-private, its the extreme regulatory environment.

As a non US citizen, saving your eye sight is more important than losing it for an opportunity to sue?
A good word for factories
As someone who works as a contractor/consultant most of the time, I think this article is ok. In my position I can't just go around tearing into other peoples' work because I have absolutely no social capital (and I like it that way, keeps me from getting into office politics). That means that my coworkers and I have had to learn how to be diplomatic and understanding in disagreements about how the work should be done.

If someone has done X and you think they did it poorly and you think it's important enough to broach the discussion, it's very important to frame the conversation in a constructive way. There's a reason why they did X the way they did, and it almost never comes down to straight negligence. Approach the conversation as a way to understand why they did it that way instead of a way to make them understand why they did it wrong. It's also important to keep in mind that no one likes to be told they did a shit job. Not even you!

Often there are misunderstandings about (not exhaustively):

* Who the stakeholders are

* What the business requirements are

* What the time and resource budget is

* What is the most important thing to get right and what isn't as critical

* What constitutes good work

If multiple viewpoints on these sorts of questions cannot be reconciled by discussion, then it's a problem of leadership and management. Making it a conflict between two individuals is exactly the worst thing to do here. Hopefully discussion can clarify and localize where the disagreements are and those issues can be brought to the attention of the stakeholders that all parties agree should have a say in the decision.

Most importantly, a lot of decision-making comes down to experience. It's virtually impossible to tell someone your experience in a way that teaches them the lesson you learned. This is almost universally the case, whether it's about code architecture or UI design or management decisions or anything. Sometimes you have to let people make the same mistakes you've made in the past and let them learn from them. In such situations it's important to make sure they own the decision that is made so that if and when issues arise later they can get the feedback they need to learn the lesson. The worst case scenario is that they get their way in the decision and someone else has to clean it up later. No one wins from that.

I like being a contractor because I get to work in lots of different environments without being bound to them. I meet a lot of different people who work in very different ways. I've met some people who are truly incompetent (mostly because they refuse to learn anything), but the majority of people I've met who have made mistakes* are willing to improve their craft and will do so if you can create a trusting and constructive relationship with them.

* Let's be honest, the majority of mistakes I've seen have been my own.
The services could be worse but aren’t necessarily worse. It’s foolish to think that any government service is worse than a private one. Also, universal healthcare doesn’t necessarily mean government run.
Oh yes. Everyone who disagrees with me has a limited mindset. You could have used your open mind to read about a European (within this comment thread) who is having trouble with "the right" in his country:

> This is a principal reason why the US was crossed off my list of countries where I would work and live. I fight against the privatization that is occurring within healthcare in my native country, Iceland. We used to have the Scandinavian model but decades of attacks from the right-wing Independence Party has broken our healthcare system. The next phase described by Chomsky is handing it over to private capital since people are outraged that it doesn't work anymore. I'm sickened by the development and feel a little like an old man screaming at the desert wind.

It's exactly your kind of Utopian mindset that needs to change. Please read the news of countries other than the US. You might be surprised at the amount of controversy that surrounds universal healthcare systems.
“Socratic questioning” implies only a collegial relationship. If you cannot walk over to a colleague and ask them questions about their work without them getting offended, your office politics are extremely unhealthy.

Or else you are probably wearing an expression of disapproval when you ask them these questions. If you go in with an honest “I want to learn and understand” stance, normal people will generally be happy to answer.
...and the worst part, making it a Federal law, but creating 50 separate marketplaces based on the state in which you reside.

If you want to make it a Federal requirement, make it a federal marketplace.
Why countries specifically?
Double, what is name
It wouldn't. Those are 3 examples, just to prove my point about how we seem to focus exclusively on how paying for the cost of care but seemingly don't bat an eye on bringing down the costs, where there seems to be a lot of room for improvement.

If the costs were not so high, paying for it for everyone would not be as difficult to implement.
> Do you assume that if the US covered everyone, it would be cheaper? Would be great if you could clarify :)

Yes, that's exactly true. A lot of countries cover everyone, at a far lower cost per capita. Universal healthcare lowers costs. The evidence simply isn't on the side of the libertarian argument. Universal healthcare has been tried, in many, many countries, and it works just fine.

There isn't a single country you can point to, including and especially the United States, that has "free market" healthcare and gets better outcomes at lower cost than universal healthcare countries.
Then why does your marketing for early access say "get a free cluster." Is that implying that Digital Ocean will pay for the worker nodes for early adopters?

Part of this flaw was that process wasn't working correctly.
I think the OP covered this when they said

> Until we change our collective view in what the purpose of a government and society is things won’t change significantly.

So yeah, if we don't change our collective view, then the republicans (or whomever) will continue to undercut these government run programs as much as possible for their broken ideology.

What if they're not an American citizen? What if they're also in a different country?
I've read a bunch of negotiation books as well as conversation books. What the latter heavily emphasized is:

Do not ask leading questions

What you describe is textbook behavior. People usually will know when you are doing it, and will get defensive. Especially the smarter ones. I look back in all my years and understand a lot of people's reaction to me: Some people have literally shouted at me when adopted the Socratic approach. The rest don't shout, but they do get defensive. The better among them will ask why I'm probing. But the majority will either answer (but internally think negative of me and damage the relationship), or will get nasty.

That's not to say you can't ask questions. The key is to ask genuinely curious questions (the opposite of leading questions). If you have a concern, learn how to state the concern in a non-threatening manner. Don't try to lead people to it.

The other thing they all say, which the submission has: "If your goal is to change someone (be it internally or externally), the chances of having a poor conversation are high."
I hope that there's no automatic upgrades. Kubernetes 1.10 was not fully backwards compatible with 1.9 for example.
> Drumming the word 'toxic' in front of 'masculinity' and a lot of kids are going to believe, "it's poisonous to be male".

No they aren't, and they don't. I can garauntee that most kids (who you don't seem have to much experience with) have more than enough intelligence to understand how adjectives and nouns work.
Yes, and I'd love to see them do more. Like a lot of preventative care.

Or obesity -- so many health problems stem from being obese. Surely nurses could help patients develop strategies to eat better and exercise.
Is the issue the US government? Or the lobbying to protect special interest groups?
Exactly. In a country where regulations allow you to start your own insurance company or your own ISP, it works well as an alternative.

With heavy regulation (Obamacare, net neutrality), it is much harder for the small time players to start their own businesses to address shortcomings of the existing companies.
Okay, thanks for the clarification.

I disagree with your opinion that Academia doesn't matter.

Ignoring Allen Iverson; not taking practice seriously will have consequences during an actual game. At the very least, Academia is practice for adulthood.
