There are several open source shims on thingverse that may be printed, they are also available to purchase online, periodically. The two major "upgrades" for the xiaomi m365 (what bird uses, is about $500 shipped online) is the shim for the folding mechanism, and then a sort of wear plate for the inside of the rear fender to protect the brake light cable.

I imagine this could be handled much better than the social networks do now. Time-stamped accounts, data mining, user reporting. There has been ZERO incentive to rid ANY accounts till the past year, because bots, sock puppets and trolls still "help" a company's user growth, on paper.

The problem isn't that solutions are hard to think of, it's that the incentives are horrible for these companies. They don't really care about anything but growth.

I’ve never thought about it before, but there are quite a few striking similarities between crypto and the history of early monotheism. With an established central religion, a few popular alternatives centered around dogmas that promise to better than the original and carried by a cult of personality, and a million prophets and “false” idols all of it carried solely by faith.

Of course it was centralized power structures and societal authority that chose which religion we have today, and crypto is much less likely to obtain that.

Author’s Note: This post imagines a dystopian future for web video, if we continue to rely on patented codecs to transmit media files. What if one company had a perpetual monopoly on those patents?

However, the future scenario is fiction, and the entities and events portrayed are not intended to represent real people, companies, or events.

If this were from a personal blog of an Mozilla employees I would have been perfectly fine with it. Instead it carries the name of Mozilla, and most of the story are simply fiction.

I don't know why the title is 2027, and 2027 was never mentioned again within the article. And for those who knows, 2027 is the year all AVC / H.264 patents expires.

I'm a native speaker of English. I lived in Germany in my twenties as a military wife. My general understanding was that having two children in Germany as a single mom was the sweet spot for the benefits system. You were financially better off with two kids and no job than with one kid and no job. (Or so I was told.)

Single American soldiers were generally understood to be targets of local German women hoping to have another child without much risk of long-term entanglement.

So, yes, I took the line literally as "She will sleep with you to intentionally get pregnant and is merely using you as a sperm donor."
Yes. The price discovery is near impossible when prices are not so upfront.
Just had this discussion with a co-worker that is taking brand-name Humira - and AbbVie does exactly this, they coupon his out of pocket to his deductible limit and then he pays nothing. The rest of us in the risk pool of course then carry the ~$4K/month cost and nobody in the food chain pushes back, because they are incented to do the opposite. The result is 2017 sales for Humira of $18.43 billion dollars, 2/3rds of which was US. This is just one drug that the US healthcare insurance participant is carrying pharmaceutical profits for.

The most frustrating issue with the Bernie Sanders single payer campaign is that they flat out lie saying that the reason why healthcare is expensive is because it is private.

Healthcare hasnt been so expensive forever, it was actually very cheap decades ago, when it was still private. The efficiency issues are not public vs private. Its mostly regulatory burdens.

> Even the Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin Cash crowd debate each other over the meanings of Satoshi writings and then debate ...

Of of the few actual debates between the two party's interpretation of the whitepaper is about running full nodes. Core believes that Satoshi expected anyone transacting on the network to run their own full node to validate each blocks even if the person isn't trying to mine (generate coins). The Cash party believes that Satoshi never intended end users to run a full node unless they were also trying to generate coins.

Other than that though, there doesn't seem to be much debate coming from the "Bitcoin Core" side. They seem to be of the opinion that the whitepaper describes a system that simply cannot work in it's original form. It's hard to know what people really think though because of the censorship (or strict moderation if you prefer) in r/bitcoin.

I had thought of something profound today:

Within about five minutes, I had walked into a smoothie shop, ordered a drink, paid with a $1 tip, received my drink, and walked out.

Pretending for a moment that servers actually get their full tip (they don't), and assuming this person makes $10/hr, then by giving them a one dollar tip for five minutes of service, I effectively doubled their earnings for their five minutes. (Their wage is $1/6 minutes, less after taxes)

I received very little service, and nothing outside of what "their job" would entail. In fact, at one point the sever was impatient and made me feel rushed. Tipping is an abomination of a custom.

This gets to the core of Milton Friedmans criticism of the healthcare system. PAtients might ask themselves that but they get healthcare services through the employer, so they show little to no elasticity between insurance companies and their premiums.

If you untied healthcare from employers, then you would unleash a massive competitive force, where if one insurance outperforms another one, patients will react as you say. But today, changing insurance companies would mean changing jobs.
> I think Californians should grab an opportunity to walk off tip culture, and walk into 'fair pay for work' culture.

The minimum wage is not fair? Lets support all workers for a fair minimum wage. End tip culture.

It is far from clear that getting rid of tips is good for tipped workers, at the end of the day [1]. Basically, there may be unintended consequences.

Also, due to a quirk of tax law, getting rid of tips would result in higher total prices. This is because we don't pay sales tax on the tip currently. If this payment were built into the cost of the meal, sales tax would go up. Not a huge difference, but it adds up — and restaurants are low-margin businesses to begin with.

No, that is not the type of insurance I was writing about. To take an example, take a look at Patriot America Plus from https://www.visitorscoverage.com/visitor-health-insurance/pl...

Not OP, but to elaborate on AWS Step Functionss:

In short - this gives you the ability to pass the output of one lambda function to the input of another lambda function.

An example of one that I've written to regularly create a new copy of our Production RDS database in Ireland as a Staging RDS database in Oregon.

1. Cloudwatch Event starts Step Function on the 15th

2. Copy last Production snapshot from Ireland to Oregon

3. Restore this snapshot as a new RDS instance (It will fail until the snapshot is available and retry with exponential backoff - this is a step function feature)

4. In parallel:

- Add tags to the instance (Once it's available)

- Delete the snapshot copy (When finished restoring)

- Modify the new instance with security groups and subnets

- In parallel:

- Run a SQL query to anonymize all of PII columns for GDPR compliance as data has now left the EU.

- Call out to the Cloudflare API to update our DNS entry with the new RDS endpoint.

- Delete the old Staging database instance
Yes, price discovery is impossible. The core way to solve it would be to detach healthcare from employers. This way insurance companies would have to compete to provide measurable price benefits to their patients. Even Bernie sanders with his single-payer platform includes separating healthcare from employer, its the most clear-cut change to do, but also a hugely disruptive one.
Raise the prices, fine by me.

I just don't like the tipping system. If you're worried about fairness I belive studies have shown that white women in their 30s get the best tips. Minority? Not so much.

I tip at restaurants, just not fast casual places where there is effectively no service beyond someone at the front.
And those equations can be condensed into a single manifestly covariant equation:

□A = J

where □ is the d'Alembertian, A is the 4-potential, and J is the 4-current.

If they want to raise prices to give those folks a reasonable wage I'm fine with it.

The tipping system is not a good way to make things fair. People do not tip fairly as it is.

When asked about the comment by the Guardian in July, Arpaio brushed it off as a joke. “But even if it was a concentration camp, what difference does it make? I still survived. I still kept getting re-elected,” he said...."

I propose that we petition Congress to repeal this law:

"Tipping again changed in the 1960s, when Congress agreed that workers could receive a lower minimum wage if a portion of their salary came from tips. The minimum wage for tipped workers is $2.13, which has not changed in over 20 years, as long as those workers receive at least $7.25 in tips per hour. Saru Jayaraman, author of Behind the Kitchen Door, explains that a minimum wage of $2.13 means that their full wage will go toward taxes and forces tipped workers to live off their tips." [1]
