> Not quite how healthcare works in the US. Unless you consider having the money to cover your max out-of-pocket (between 1000-4500usd, depending on insurance plan) and copays (50-125usd) as "wealthy".

Max annual out of pocket includes copays, do you don't need to cover both separately, but 1000-4500 is not the range of out of pocket maximums. The limit for a bronze marketplace plan is $7,300 for an individual plan or $14,600 for a family plan; the average for bronze marketplace plans is about for $12,000 for a family plan. And that's for things the plan covers; there's obviously no maximum for services excluded from coverage.
You need more than internet access (which is probably not all that great in much of rural Kansas!) for people to want to live somewhere. I mean you can get that anywhere, why pick perfectly flat wheat fields? The small towns were a byproduct of needing a lot of people to grow wheat, they weren't destinations that people chose.
Currently people in my life left and right get diagnosed with cancer and it’s awful.

I wonder what one can do to make sure to not run into the same surprise. I am guessing because of the many kinds of cancer that you can’t just do a “cancer checkup” twice a year?

Facebook spent close to $22B on WhatsApp in total so they can't just keep it forever as a zero-revenue messaging service. Either they'll put ads in it or they'll try to tack on other services, like WeChat does.

> Stop collecting any data you don't need. If you don't collect it, it's not an issue!

That's trickier than it sounds.

If you embed a copy of jQuery on your page hosted by a CDN, you're collecting and sending personal data to the CDN. Do you have consent for that?

Same with web fonts, icon fonts, javascript libraries, social media follow/share buttons, analytics tags, etc you embed in the tags.

Every time your page is loaded, you're sending personal data to all those third parties, most of them not even located in the EU, which means you're sharing with a third party and doing a cross-border transfer.

You need more than just consent to do that, they're sub-processors for you, and you likely need signed Data Processing Addendums with each of those companies, and they need to have adequate protections for cross-border data transfers, like participation in the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework. Have you signed those agreements?

You can easily be sharing more data than you meant to, too. Let's say you send a newsletter for your website and you host a copy of phpList or similar software to manage and send it. In each mail you send out, you include an unsubscribe link, which has the address to unsubscribe embedded in the link.

When someone clicks that link, their email address will be part of the HTTP referrer header sent to all those third party scripts on your page. Now you're transferring email addresses to a half dozen third parties with no legitimate business reason to do so. Do you have consent to do that?

Out of context paraphrase isn't really selling your argument

I mean the primary author of the Constitution, James Madison, has a pretty well known quote that the government should protect the "opulent minority from the tyranny of the majority."

The government has openly and successfully deployed propaganda within the US, and gifted decades of research to media companies by funding "journalism" and similar courses in unis for decades, effectively indoctrinating numerous voices

And it's all plainly document in government record

Imperialist after imperialist conquered Europe and further east, found NA and spread there too.

What else are you expecting of human societies but top-down manipulation of the masses for their gains?

On the upside, it's trending away from overt global violence... outside the Middle East anyway. Thank Western imperialism for that; gotta ship that cheap oil and keep some progressive idealists from raising prices to insure fair wages for their countrymen

And the western gen pops keep voting for it

Nowadays they have people believing economics and physics are one and the same, despite the plain history of corrupt behavior, the rich come out on top because it's in their very atoms!

Humanity is a shitshow that I've given up on trying to understand. It'll die out some day and that'll be that. Until then, edit text files, go home.

Human "culture" IMO, and the defense or concern of, are exactly what create most of this trouble anyway. Don't need it to feed and cloth and care for people. It just becomes a bunch of justification and ephemeral nonsense to wrap oneself in, completely arbitrary, to feel important.

But if someone like Schmidt can manipulate it in say a direction like "debate and conversation, leading to improved social outcomes" why not? Beats the traditional position of "force people into literal slavery or war for my empire"
People who use bikes don't trust drivers either. In fact I work on the base assumption that bus drivers in particular, are actively trying to kill me.
Agree that the promise of remote work hasn’t quite panned out, yet.

However, the article is also noting something related:
> Today, operators sitting at computers hundreds of miles from the farm can easily steer gigantic harvesters via satellite. Kansas’s agricultural landscape needs fewer and fewer human caretakers.

In a way, they are realizing “telecommuting” for harvester operators and impacting local population. I wouldn’t be surprised if one operator is able to command multiple machines in multiple fields, thereby reducing the total number of operators you need, even concurrently.

As for most “tech work” these days, I feel like we could absolutely do well with remote teams. In some cases I would miss the white boarding sessions, but that’s something you could fly people in for if it’s really needed or use myriad of other tools for.
> And while it's fun, you realise most emails are heavy in html/images/attachments and barely readable in full text form anymore... :/

That’s why I use notmuch with emacs. I can view text emails as text & HTML emails as HTML — and I can open them in an external browser, too, with just a few keystrokes.

Also, a local notmuch is extremely fast. I find that it’s far, far faster than Gmail or Inbox.
Sad news. WhatApp really feels to me as the future of social networks and its massive numbers tend to prove it.

1:1 chat and phone calls to communicate to your friends, groups to keep in touch with people you are less close to, and status in the extremely rare case that you want to briefly show something to all of your contacts (but without all the problems of FB: your contacts are all people you actually know fairly well, no like and similar bullshits that create so many problems, no pictures stored forever, etc.).

At the same time, I already saw many people switching to telegram. It seems impossible for whatsapp to decline given its current numbers, but who knows really.
Has using a quote from 4 centuries ago to try to prove a point ever worked out for anyone? It sounds about as effective as "Newton didn't use vaccines, so why should we?". Perhaps there is some merit to the idea, but talking about 17th century science is probably not the most convincing way to make the point. That aside, here is Newton's actual quote from Cohen and Whitman's translation of Principia:

> I have not as yet been able to discover the reason for these properties of gravity from phenomena, and I do not feign hypotheses. For whatever is not deduced from the phenomena must be called a hypothesis; and hypotheses, whether metaphysical or physical, or based on occult qualities, or mechanical, have no place in experimental philosophy. In this philosophy particular propositions are inferred from the phenomena, and afterwards rendered general by induction. [1]

To me, this appears to be a very different sentiment. Newton seems to be saying "I don't try to guess about things I don't understand", not "You don't need to have a clear plan before doing research". Even if it is true that Newton never framed a hypothesis in his life (which strikes me as blatantly false), he didn't live in a world with thousands and thousands of researchers funded by taxpayer money. When commitees have to decide how to spend money, of course it's more logical to fund a project with a well-formed question.

For what it's worth, most of the advice I've heard about diet with regards to typeI diabetes is garbage (the typeII advice was always better). It took more than a year for an engineering friend of mine who specializes in signal processing to convince his girlfriend to ignore her doctor's dieting advice, and her blood sugar, and health in general, improved greatly as a result.

Basically his take on it is that typeI diabetics target the wrong thing. They're told to eat a high carb diet and estimate the amount of insulin they need to modulate their blood sugar. His take was that you should take a consistent amount of insulin more regularly, while eating a fattier more protein heavy diet, occassionally using fast carbs to bring up low blood sugar. The fat and protein will tend to lower the glycemic index of food, so you'll get less spikes, and more importantly less ringing of your blood sugar, which can lead to taking too much insulin (ringing is a signal processing term which describes the phenomenon of what tends to happen when you slam a signal high or low, where the signal will oscillate around an upper or lower value until the signal settles on the new value). Basically the goal is to have a more stable, and more predictable blood sugar level throughout the day. Also, when taking blood sugar measurements, taking multiple measurements minutes apart will tell you whether you're on the rising side or the falling side of a peak, and can give you a better idea as to whether more insulin is needed, or if it'll make you crash since you're already coming down.

To sum up, the slower the carbs you eat, the better, also fat and protein slow down carbs as well. Also, eating carbs to bring up blood sugar is superior to taking (more) insulin to bring down blood sugar.

Anyways, good luck to you. I'm sorry life is sucking for you right now (and historically).

With the possible exception of the pet thing, those are all violations, not crimes.

Better examples are reckless driving, petty theft, vandalism and selling alcohol to a minor. As with all misdemeanors, they are less common.
This is interesting... I am in my 20s and bike ~20 miles per day. Over the last 5 years I have had 3 broken bones due to bike accidents including one which required an ambulance ride. With few exceptions, I only go to the doctor for bike-related injuries and my annual physical. To my health insurance provider, do the benefits to my cardiovascular system and general fitness offset the cost to treat my injuries?

I am guessing the insurance companies are looking far enough into the future where the long term benefits to my health outweigh the short term risks, but they are definitely losing money in the short term.

Most large cities are riddled with cameras and police presence.

The alternative to virtual density is real density (à la big cities like Tokyo, New York). In my opinion remote technology has not been able to come close with the bandwidth increases of real proximity yet. The promise of VR, telepresence, is still unable to match the benefits of real presence.

Absolutely bogus. I just spent 30 minutes verifying this claim. They used HEK 293 cells combined with taste receptors as a tool in the development of a totally unrelated molecule by Senomyx called Sweetmyx.

Sweetmyx has zero embryo cells in it. The embryo cells were used to test how the human taste receptors would respond to Sweetmyx.

But there's no reason to believe that will be possible either. By that same reasoning it might be possible 'in 5 years' to recover the erased (and overwritten) data from the storage device, so you never can delete anything.

If you use something such as AES 256, which is approved for use to encrypt 'top secret' information by the NSA, and through some miracle it turns out that we can easily decrypt such data in 5 years, then I'm pretty sure you can argue in court that you were following best practices and had no reasonable way of predicting this encryption disaster.
I don't believe this idea, but allow me to play devil's advocate.

>And I suspect that they want to make money even more than they want to reshape the culture into the image of what they think it should be...

Groups often do this to secure future profits at the cost of current profits. It would be to the advantage of YT to reduce costs by funneling as many users as they can to the same result, allowing for the reduction of dynamic elements within their structure.

It could be that they are juggling total lost customers with a total cost of operation and trying to achieve a more profitable ratio with cheaper/easier to substantiate channels/results

tl;dr : Google would be cheaper to run if there were only 20 results. Google would be #1 if they could keep their current audience happy with that style of operation, due to the disparity in income versus outward expenses.

Maybe some group of psychologists is discussing what channels to bar next that won't hurt the bottom line...

In my experience that 'solution' isn't a solution but rather a poorly guessed attempt at one single part of it. Whenever I've thought I have the architecture of a class all figured out there is one corner case that destroys all the lovely logic and you either start from scratch on yet another brittle monolith, or accept that you are essentially writing spaghetti code. At that point documentation that explains what does what and why is the only way to 'solve' the issue of coding.

Not quite there with regards to immortality (a property of lapis philosophorum) though :-)
Cancer cells pop up in everyone's body all the time, and your immune system is fighting them off on a regular basis. It becomes a problem when your body is either overwhelmed or these things come up so often that it no longer recognizes the threat.

If you don't want to run into the same problem, the absolute best thing you can do is to keep your body in the best shape possible. Physical exercise often, not overeating, getting an appropriate amount of rest.

Everyones' bodies are different and YMMV, but the tools to prevention are well known, they just sometimes don't coincide with people's chosen lifestyles.

You might want to also consider adding a little more olive oil to your food, and/or researching it more. It's really quite impressive.
