Police can only hold you for up to 96 hours without charging you with a crime. Once you are charged with something and awaiting trial, you have to be tried within 56 days. If you are not tried within those 56 days you have to be released on unconditional bail - so courts tend to stick to those limits. Police can set up bail before the trail, but it cannot involve money - frequently it involves staying at a particular address, reporting to the police station daily, not contacting certain people etc - it depends on the severity of the crime, you cannot be released on bail for acts of violence or armed robbery for example.

Additionally, the first thing you have to do when you go to the doctor in the US is sign that paper that basically says “I agree to be responsible for the bill, no matter what it ends up being.” Which is ridiculous given you can’t know what the bill is until after you’re charged.

Imagine going to the grocery store and there are no prices on anything. You load up your cart and walk out and the grocery store sends you a bill months later. The bill is enormous because the grocery store has a signed statement from you agreeing to pay whatever they want. That’s the system we have for healthcare.
I agree commingling is a problem. The unknowing customer buys a branded counterfeit, the brand loses a customer, but Amazon does not.

This is amazing! Really innovative designs and ideas. As 3D printing is a new technology, even on Earth, I wonder if there are traditional designs using bricks or other materials created from the native soils and rocks that would potentially have more understood construction properties and lifespans.

Uber is so incompetent as a company. Hurr we're not smart enough to figure this out and profit of it so we're throwing it away.
Awesome point to make. Lots of effort being done however to preserve such art. A good example is Archive.org making classic DOS games playable in the browser via emulation: https://archive.org/details/msdos_Wolfenstein_3D_1992
Also, throwing out all type annotations makes code pretty hard to read, especially outside your IDE like in a Github repo.

Taken to an extreme, it feels like reading a dynamically-typed language where you have to keep the various variable types in your head when debugging.

There's a middle ground.
That's a little disingenuous. The "recipe ideas" were from the same minds that came up with them originally. This comes down to who really owns an idea, the entity that paid for it or the mind that thought it.

Health care costs were (and are) increasing. The rate of increase slowed under the last administration. [1] Your costs may have gone up if you were part of a low risk group because under Obamacare, low risk individuals were made to share the cost of other insureds who were stupid enough to get old, be poor or have existing health issues that made them unprofitable for insurance companies to insure. Obamacare also removed the low price "scam" insurances that would deny coverage on flimsy "pre-existing condition" pretenses.

If I'd kept the same program that I had under the Obama administration, my costs would have doubled under the current administration (800->$1600mo).

[1] https://www.factcheck.org/2015/02/slower-premium-growth-unde...

"..the average premium for single coverage through employers has gone up 28 percent “under Obama” That’s right again, but much lower than the growth of individual premiums during Bush’s first six years. That increase was 72 percent."
With a current kernel and updated userland? the no-password root ssh after flashing is vulnerable to others in your local network yes, keep it offline until pubkey-only auth is configured.

Other than that it seems equal to other default distribution installs. Apparmor/selinux steps up ubuntus/fedoras game yes, I don't know how much of this has been a concern yet in OpenWrt, a recent talk touches shortly on it. It seems to be a clean, easy-to-configure distribution that is alive and well after the remerge that just got a recent stable-release. Secondary vectors like package-system are a factor. But despite being reliant on the vendor, it buildable by the end-user. I applaud their efforts.

The most important factor in this analysis doesn't get called out by name: healthcare costs. When Cowen mentions entitlement growth forcing spending reduction and tax increases, healthcare is both the most certain and the biggest culprit by a wide margin.

If you were going to do one thing to extend American prosperity, it would be disruptive structural improvements to our healthcare system. That's structural reform, not new biotech (except as allows you to disintermediate care). The fact that our total expenditure is so high relative to other countries with similar quality of care is evidence that the economic models, not the technology available, are to blame.
Ha that's wise.

It should be a binary decision:

> The very worst fears about climate change won’t come true. But a nagging succession of storms, plus required adjustments along the coasts to accommodate a rise in sea level, will eat up about 0.5 percent worth of economic growth.

For a 'clean tale of hypothetical decline' this really seems to undersell the climate problem. As of the weekend along the Norther American West coast there was almost continuous forest fire smoke from southern BC to near the middle of the Central Valley. It's not implausible we will see a sizable percentage of the Western US forests destroyed by fire in the next couple of decades. For anyone who has observed the ecosystems over the past few decades the changes are starting to become quite alarming.

So the climate problem is pretty big. At least at the national level the US is basically ceding responsibility for developing technologies to address it to other nations. This looks like a big future opportunity loss in addition to the actual costs imposed by climate changes.
When you've been kidnapped, you have good reasons to think that the kidnapper might just kill you if you don't go along with what they want. I've heard a lot of abusive police interrogation practices in the US, and none of them go so far to make you worry you'll be taken out back and shot.

You're drawing an equivalence that just isn't there, and I think you know that.

The world may very well be a better place and frankly saving people from work is actually a good thing. But I disagree with the idea that the computer/mobile/AI revolution is adding more jobs than it takes away. There are not more app developers than their were factory laborers.

Most people would be surprised that US manufacturing is at the highest level in history. And they are surprised because manufacturing employment is at the lowest levels.

Is it good that Americans are not doing highly physically demanding manufacturing jobs? Sure. But what are the long term consequences of productivity without people? Every industry is more productive with drastically fewer people and they're improving on that equation every day. Not just factories but also white collar office work too. When self-driving vehicles become the norm, a massive amount of people will no longer have jobs.

Well I wasn't feeling this way but now I am... Seriously though I prefer the more organic feel. I don't really like square hallways and I wouldn't mind being in a rounder room. though it would need to take into the actual requirements of the rooms. A shop class needs both a lot of space and square enough walls/floor plan that they can fit in equipment without a ton of wasted space.
What seems least plausible about this to me is that a long period of decline like that (basically what happened to France and the UK) wouldn't result in something like a civil war or other split in the US.

There's a reason you still at least annotate the top level in Haskell, Elm, and friends even though the compiler could've inferred it. It's because humans have to read it.

But that is the entire point of this discussion. If someone is a rich "low-life" then even a $5k or $35k bail from your example wouldn't have stopped him from being out. If you really care about not freeing "criminals" (that have not been convicted yet right?) then wouldn't you appreciate a system only reliant on danger to society and flight risk, why even bring economics into it?

It seems that American journalists and coastal elites do nothing more lately than (ironically) talk about how much they hate their country. What happened to patriotism? Why is it so 'cool' nowadays to hate the USA?
It's quite hard to work out what the UK government is intending to do at all. There's no unity within the government about what the priorities for negotiation are and there's been basically no proposals which have stood up for any length of time. (This was the biggest problem with the referendum: 'leave' encompassed a huge variety of possible options with very different outcomes, and it seems each leave voter was imagining their own version of this. I believe even if there was no change in any voters opinions there is no specific plan which would be preferred by the majority over remaining in the EU).

I've enjoyed the Touhou music fandom for a good many years now. I don't play the games, I just like the music - it's fascinating how big and diverse it is while still being unified around a canon of Zun themes/melodies.

It reminds me of traditional Japanese court poetry, where half the esthetic work is done by knowledge of allusions and borrowings and the poet is trying to express a familiar theme in a slightly better way rather than seeking for novelty like most forms of literature.
They've really ramped up selling Prime in the checkout process. It's no longer easy to order from Amazon; it's this adversarial "spot the 5 traps" obstacle course where you have to avoid clicking the "sign me up for Prime" trick buttons.
I think we are so deeply ingrained in thinking this way in some societies that we completely miss the forest for the trees. We forget what the overall goal is and instead focus mindlessly on efficiently doing little things that seem in that moment to be the goal at a drag on accomplishing the overall goal. We are not ants, we are thinking creatures who, given time and a relaxed attitude can come up with solutions that easily negate the need for the mindless ant-like efficiency that is more suited to ignorant creatures than thinking ones.
I find that being late to things acknowledges the reality that meetings and commutes can have unexpected delays and run over.

I run a local news site with ~ 1.3 TB/month traffic on two cheap VPSs and a free Cloudflare account (paying just for a non-shared SSL certificate, $5 per month). It saves us about 95 % of bandwidth.

According to the calculator, the other options would cost from $12000 to $250000. This is roughly cost for 35 - 730 years of all our current services combined (CF cert, 2x VPS, domain). Looking at the detailed pricing, it might be affected by me being in Europe, but still…

The US being a democracy is largely open for debate: https://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/princeton-experts-say...
The goal is not to just let everyone go free while they await sentencing, it is to have a jail system that houses people on the basis of their danger to the public and/or their risk to flee instead of their ability to pay. I don't see how anyone can actually be against that.

Besides bail just allows cases just like you mention to happen, just that it's rich guys. Take a look at Robert Durst, posting $300,000 bail then stalking his brother with a gun. And Durst isn't the only guy to do this, what about Roman Polanski? What about Robert Vesco? Criminals who are a serious threat to society, are being let loose and innocent civilians become the collateral damage in money bail systems.
It's something that's really interesting about reading US history as a hobby. It's fascinating have all of this ability to reflect and see how things developed.

Not to mention the fact that companies can write off insurance contributions against tax, and individuals can recieve that benefit without paying income or payroll tax on it. In effect that's a subsidy in favour of the middle classes and 1% to the tune of "between $174 billion and $429 billion over a six-year period".

Maybe you have heard of Solyndra, who took $500 million dollars from the DOE

http://fortune.com/2015/08/27/remember-solyndra-mistake/

Google them for a ton of other articles.

Of note: some people I had known had gone there, and after looking at the SEC filings during the collapse of Solyndra, saw that they were handing out massive bonuses to employees and C-suite staff just prior to literally locking their employees out.

They had their IT lead shut down all accounts/remote access and email, then locked the front doors. Employees showed up to the office the next morning and the doors were locked, this is how they informed them that they were out of a job.

Financial markets aren't known to be sensitive to leaders' political proclivities. Yet the bonds are down and stock's volatility up.

Could part of the negative coverage be motivated by Elon's personality and politics? Sure. But the risk profile of the company changed with the SolarCity acquisition and Model 3 announcement in 2016, bond issuance in 2017 and CAPEX and production delays in 2018. One representation of this risk profile is runway, i.e. TTM operating burn + CAPEX / Cash on hand. It is compressed. That concerns existing investors, excites bankers (who might get a stock or bond offering out of it) and entices new investors. Increased attention + narrow envelope leads to concerned/cautious/negative coverage.

(It is also difficult to disentangle the increased `general volatility in the markets post-tariffs from Tesla's inherent volatility, which is also linked to the tariff discussion.)

Even still, it's been awesome to get a lot of early feedback! We'll get a roadmap together so it's easier for people to see where we're trying to take the language.
A piece of anecdata on what happens when it's not as opaque: I took the script for a lumbar MRI to a standalone imaging chain advertising low costs. The phone quote was 1/10th the price quoted by the hospital. What puzzled me was that although the imaging place accepts my insurance it asked for $395 if I wanted payment to apply against my insurance deductible but only $275 if I paid without going through the insurer. Was the delta reflecting the imager's cost to file a claim? They couldn't tell me. I wish there were ombudsmen to turn to.
The charts are not really "Why Americans Spend Much on Health Care", just "Americans Spend Much on Health Care (or More than Others and More than They Used To, Anyway)". Believable causes that I have read being suggested are "demographics", "lack of single payer health care", "unhealthy lifestyle", "inefficient allocation of resources towards terminally ill patients", "Americans pay for drug research that inhabitants of other countries get for free", "expensive safeguards against malpractice lawsuits". Lobbying, taxation and opacity to consumers seems like a poor explanation of why healthcare in the US is so much more expensive than in other countries, and more expensive than in the past.

Visiting Sao Paulo I found the trains to be reliable, clean, timely, and used by all segments of society except I assume the super-rich who have someone drive them.

One thing that struck me about Brazil compared to the U.S. is the huge number of people standing around doing nothing. You will never see that in the U.S.: if someone is loitering here, they are a teenager or homeless. But it was huge in Brazil. I am assuming this is because of the extreme unemployment and lack of opportunity.

Unfortunately, seeing so much despondency is likely to affect everyone in the society. You tend to change your outlook on things. I have heard there is an "everyone does it" attitude with regard to paying bribes, stealing services like electricity, etc. This also drags down society.

My wife is Brazilian and she is a very timely person, living in the U.S. Partly due to acculturation but also because of the "I wasn't born here but got here as fast as I could" effect.
