Most first world nations have government bodies with medical experts setting maximum costs for drugs and procedures. Their costs for healthcare are much lower than the US.

The idea that "The solution is to make the consumer participate in driving costs down." has been demonstrated in none of those nations for healthcare.

As a well-educated white collar worker in a non-medical field, if I broke a bone and a doctor gave me three different options and costs for setting that bone, I would really have no basis for being able to choose the right option for the best long-term cost/quality of health.

This idea is like asking regular computer users to determine what software stack they should buy to use in their cloud computing provider.
We just bought a brand new POWER 7. The vendor has no plans to move to another architecture (that I could get out of them anyway).
> even though a 280 attack will break somebody's AES-128 key out of a batch of 248 keys.

Yeah, "somebody's", but what does the average somebody have that's worth cracking their encryption over? It seems to me that most cryptanalysis threat models would be very specifically targeted: what is the President saying on his secure line? Where are the submarines being dispatched? What are the corporate earnings or fed rate decisions going to be?

Trawling thousands of encrypted connections and cracking one or two is a pretty cool feat,but probably not valuable enough to recoup the costs or yield anything of extraordinary value.

I think the issue there is that in order for "act like a woman" to be meaningful, you have to have a somewhat fixed notion of what womanly behaviour is, which is hard to disentangle from sexual stereotyping.

Womp womp. Most of those netbooks are unusably slow anyhow, and were when they were brand new too. Run an older kernel on there and call it a day.
I don't know what makes you miss the point, but ok, let me repeat. With the regular second U2F device it has to be easily accessible (e.g. at home in my sleeping room). With the proposed solution, it doesn't have to be easily accessible.

> it still recommends storing the 2nd token at home

In the article I mention that I can either bury it somewhere in the forest or brick up into the wall. Even if we ignore the forest part, do you consider "bricking up into the wall" and just keeping in sleeping room as the same thing, even it's my home's wall? If you do, then ok, sorry for wasting your time, we're not going to agree. Because I believe that making the token really hard to access (like having to disassemble the actual wall a little bit) does make the token a lot more secure.

And another important point that with the regular token I have to add it to every new service manually. Which can be not trivial if I'm traveling far from home. And I can just forget, etc etc.

Perhaps you are thinking of The Door Into Summer:

"In Robert Heinlen's The Door Into Summer, Dr. Twitchell recounts a tale of a student whom he displaced in time by 500 years. While there was no way of knowing whether the student went to the past or the future, Dr. Twitchell hints that he believes it was the past due to the student's name—Leonard Vincent."

That’s definitely debatable. Marx was far from clueless about the benefits of capitalism. We need to recognize Marx was not against leadership. He was simply for democracy. He was intentionally vague in his prescriptions, and increasingly so in the academic work his legacy is built on. It’s more accurate to say he simply accepted the challenges of democratic means of production instead of denying them, because he thought the latter as immoral and ultimately harmful to society, due to the resulting deterioration of what he called modes of production.

He was a proponent of technology, celebrated innovation, and fully acknowledged that capitalism systemically enouraged their existence. He even wrote about the importance of capitalism to art.

Marx lived in a time and place of agregious social malpractice in the name of capitalism. His conceptions did not lack nuance, but they did evoke urgency. And rightfully so.

Yes what will they break next? Scrolling?! It's almost as though web devs enjoy reimplementing the browser in javascript...
I think the main difficulty is twofold. First there's the box model, which was different in IE than in the rest of the world for a long long time. Juniors that don't understand the difference will produce markup and styling that work in one browser but not the other. Absolute positioning is way more sensitive to the box model than other kinds of layout.

Second, unless you really want to insist on absolutely positioning everything, you're just going to need elements to flow occasionally. Most devs just aren't going to get a granular enough understanding of how absolute, relative, and fixed positioning work to where they can mix up the two to form fluid UIs.

They'll make one mistake and not realize it and before you know it behavior starts an inexorable slide in sanity, from which the only recovery is to scrap the entire page and start over. Been there done that.

...how about free public toilets, which will solve the actual problem?

I get the impression that you misunderstood the parent. Installing toilets would solve the problem without being sexist. The plan of installing urinals does seem rather sexist, doesn't it?

I mean, it appears to be saying, "oh well, boys can't hold it" or "women don't (or can't) drink". Aren't those sexist statements?

It sure sounds to me like it's reinforcing a weird culture of men not doing any planning and feeling entitled to piss wherever it's convenient for them.
That was pretty much my teacher's reaction when I pitched 'free toilet paper for students by printing ads on them', in business school.

Depends on exactly what you're referring to. Sales & Marketing - sure, but that's because it's a zero-sum game (advertising is at least). But I would argue the cost to technically accomplish reach scale is much cheaper today than it was 10 years ago when $100M wasn't the norm.

> The first amendment is scoped to the government because the constitution is scoped to the government.

Yes and no. It's true that he Constitution is scoped to government, so if there was a free speech principle that was not it might have been limited in the Constitution.

But the free speech principle actually underlying the Constitutional text is also scoped to government in that involves and relies on the freedom of all actors except government to choose what speech to make, endorse, support, relay, or associate themselves with to promote the competition of ideas and the success of good ones and elimination of bad ones, on the concept that the former will be more likely to be relayed and the latter will die out from failure to convince people to participate in spreading them.

If platforms of overwhelming reach and intrusiveness actively relay content blindly, it makes it much harder for the winnowing process to work.

It appears you're conflating two things.

1. "Pension funds", which include stuff like TIAA-CREF, who administer 401(k)-like plans for tax-exempt organizations. Those are definitionally fully funded because the annuities that retirees receive are only based on the money they put in over time.

2. "Pensions" as in the old-school corporate-owned "you work for us for n years and then we give you an annuity for the rest of your life, based on a percentage of ending salary." Those have a lot of problems with funding, for a load of reasons including life expectancy, and because bankruptcy relieves companies of a lot of those obligations.

Either way, a shareholder owning a comparatively tiny amount of stock has neither a duty nor the impetus to align their interests with that of the corporation in which they hold stock.
Font Playground web app, web based design tool is future?
Whether or not an employee stays with us because of fear or because they think we are giving them an opportunity of a lifetime, is a matter of perspective. The question that may lay at the heart of this is what drives that optimistic vs cynical view? I would argue context.

Let me start by saying that I believe people are loyal to people, not things (ie companies).

I believe we could agree that loyalty isnt something that reasonable people should expect. It is earned.

I believe we could agree that loyalty is a two-way street. That it is unfair / irrational / unreasonable that a manager should expect loyalty from its employees without reciprocating that loyalty to them (which can be done in many many different ways outside of comp)

While I can fire anyone on the spot and they can leave at any time they want, I believe the reality of life, people and social creatures operating in a free and just society are a little more complicated than that. I hate the idea of busting my ass for someone out of loyalty for them and our cause and not being recognized for it. There is a point at which doing that consistently migrates from loyalty to abuse. I've been there. I choose not be that kind of manager. There is a potential that I am, which is why I do my best to communicate broadly my commitment to being fair, principled and rationale. Alas, there is definitely a potential that I am making mistakes too.

Personally, I can see it in their face, tone, passion, and gratitude that the people we sponsored are loyal and it motives me to go above and beyond for them in moments where all reasonable people can agree I shouldnt / didnt have to / was above and beyond the call of duty. It manifests itself in subtle ways, like hanging around the office a little bit longer every day to couch them. Or giving them unlimited paid vacations (which no one has ever abused), Investing more in their development and training, or, investing in the companies they leave to start (which is what my managers for me when I left to start our company). Loyalty is very, very real and when it is present, it creates an incredible bond between people. I will drop almost anything I am doing for my team and I am confident almost everyone on the team would do the same. In that, there is an implicit trust that this commitment to each other will be valued and not abused. When that line is crossed, it is crossed and loyalty is compromised.

Quick random aside: to this day, I know the name of the man who sponsored some poor Greek kid who had a penchant for math 50 years ago to start a new life in America. Had that person not done that, this conversation and my existence would not have happened. I havent seen Yannis since I was a little kid and he probably hasnt thought of me in decades. As random and weird as this sounds, part of why I enjoy sponsoring people is that it thrills me to pay that forward and know I could potentially have a similar impact on someone's life. I believe that makes me loyal to him in some way. A bit irrational perhaps, but it makes me feel good.

Rant over. Thank you for listening.

"Servant leadership" is just another word for leadership.

Good leadership is a service. It's certainly rare enough.

But what people tend to mean with the phrase is the opposite: that good leadership consists of and is defined as service. That's just service with a "leadership" nametag, and is insufficient when actual leadership is required.

It varies. The public park here has 4 buildings with restrooms and a couple of portable toilets. But that's a really nice park.
