At that point, it's less of a parking structure and more of an automated valet service. You get out of your car and only your car enters.

Taken to the limit of the idea, the whole parking structure could be entirely sealed to the outside, and maybe even evacuated or filled with a non-oxygenated medium (e.g. nitrogen) to prevent car fires and reduce rusting from long-term storage. Sort of like a modern grain silo.

It's not leave to just fuck off and do nothing. Taking care of a baby is an incredibly demanding task which is why most human societies we're built around having multiple generations of family, or other members of your tribe, helping with childcare. Foisting all of that onto a mother without any assistance is a relatively new thing in human history. If you took parental leave, most people would expect to be an actual parent to the child.

Beyond all of that, this change isn't about what the right level of child care is. It's about the fact that managers and companies discount women workers of child bearing age to a degree that they do not for men, because if a couple is having a child the woman is going to have to take some amount of time off. The suggestion from this article would be like adding an interface of IParent over the male and female classes, and having the employers make hiring/firing/promotion decisions based off of the interface rather than the concrete class. If you don't do this the two groups of people, men and women, will be treated differently based on the circumstances of their birth. As a culture we've made a value judgement that this sort of discrimination is a bad thing, so why would we not mitigate it?
People always say Minecraft doesn't have good graphics or whatever, but that game's color palette and overall design aesthetic is VERY good. Everything is consistent, and when you're playing it you forget that it doesn't look "real." The game from the article is not in the same league.

Stop applying duct tape to a ridiculous system. Its time to offer a public option like every other country in the OECD. That’s how you solve this. This is sheer stupidity all the way down. How are so few of you mad as hell getting the worst deal in the OECD? I’m mad for you.

It’s like watching someone hit themselves in the face with bare knuckles, stop and say you know what this needs? Boxing gloves, then it won’t hurt as much. Like, you’re right, it won’t hurt as much, but why are you doing this to yourself?

Either this is a free market and we allow the market to sort this out, allowing people to die and go broke in the process, or we say this is a public good that deserves a public solution. A whack-a-mole based patchwork of legal impositions on the market is not a solution to anything. It just encourages the captains of the insurance industry to find the next loophole to exploit (or go out and create them by lobbying) to ensure profits keep going up quarter over quarter, until they’re whacked back down again. Then in 6-18 months were right back where we started.

Bogdan has put together an awesome framework with molten that I think can use a lot more visibility. With his permission, I've posted here to get more eyes on it. I'm excited to see how much attention it's getting.

For those who want to get started with molten, I've put together a boilerplate for a more full fledged production application here: https://github.com/dternyak/molten-boilerplate

It demonstrates:

- OpenAPI (swagger)

- SQLAlchemy

- alembic

- py.test

- invoke (task management / CLI)

Feedback is super welcome on the boilerplate, which is partially inspired by https://github.com/Bogdanp/molten_cookiecutter

Bogdan has been incredibly friendly and helpful while I've been learning the ins and outs (and pestering him over email). I'm sure he'll be happy to answer any questions here as they come up.

Happy hacking!

Did you read the PDFs that are cited in this thread? Paul Turner's switch-to scheme switches between real threads orders of magnitude faster than the kernel scheduler. So it's not true that "you're not really going to beat the kernel by enough to matter". It's actually much faster.
It's been a considerable time since I was doing coursework on that period, but in broad strokes I recall it went something like this:

1.) Culturally, there was a broad understanding that males remain within their birth family lineages, whereas women leave and join their husband's family.

2.) Male children were expected to provide for their parents in old age, whereas (again if I recall correctly) it was customary to offer a dowry when female children were married.

3.) As a result wealth tended to transfer from female-heavy lineages to male-heavy lineages.

4.) When new land was available, or technology or new crops could make old land more productive, this effect was manageable, but increased pressure when population butted up against technical limits of agriculture, so that additional new arable land (wealth) could not be easily made available. Particularly when infrastructure and ecological failures strained or reduced the capacity of productive land. In that more zero-sum environment, male children were correspondingly more valuable, and there were upticks in female infanticide.

There's another dynamic in play with regards to the Chinese bureaucratic governmental system, which only men could take advantage of - in the archtypical system, entry into the bureacratic class was at least nominally meritocratic, and through grueling work and education, one could become eligible to take and pass the examinations to gain the bureaucratic degrees, which conferred massive benefits, which were again expected to accrue to not only the newly-minted official, but their family groups. So there are instances of family lineages and even entire villages pooling their resources behind a favored son, investing massively in classical education in hopes of hitting the lottery that way.

> If a previous administration passed a rule, I don't know what argument we can use to say that a future administration can't change that rule.

This is what's going through the courts now with the DACA program. It isn't a law but something the Obama administration came up with. Up til now the courts have said the current administration doesn't have good enough reasons to rescind it.

So there are a few legal arguments that prevent rule changes.

>insurers should stop negotiating individual rates with providers and instead providers should have a set price they charge no matter who pays

It's not that simple, unfortunately. For one thing, Medicare reimburse at rates that are significantly below market prices [0][1]. Medicaid pays even less on average, and Medicaid reimbursement rates vary significantly from state to state [2]. Care providers need to make up for this by charging a higher rate to those who have private insurance or pay cash.

The obvious retort to the above is that providers could charge a single, higher rate for everyone except Medicare and Medicaid. But if you prevent providers from offering reduced rates to insurers that include them in their networks, insurers will have an incentive to make their networks narrower, charging higher out-of-network deductibles and copays for a larger proportion of providers. Eliminating provider networks entirely isn't a good option, since they're one of the only mechanisms keeping costs in check to begin with: insurers can remove providers from their networks if they become too expensive (or if the quality of care declines), pushing policyholders to cheaper (and/or higher-quality) providers.

To extend your example, say that instead of charging a 30k out-of-network rate and a 7.5k in-network rate for a particular insurer, a provider charges 15k for everyone. Are all insurers required to pay for the procedure at 15k (subject to deductibles and copays paid by policyholders)? If so, what's to stop the provider from charging 30k next year? And if not, what incentive do insurers have to pay for it?

> How much does that plan actually cost? Your W-2 should include the value of the employer's subsidy.

idk honestly, but i would be interested to find out. this is my first year working at this particular form so i will need to wait for my first w-2.

> You're still paying for inflated healthcare costs either way; in a competitive labor market (not always the case but certainly is in SV), reduced benefit costs would be expected to increase cash compensation.

sure, but the employer doesn't pay any tax on this type of benefit, whereas we would both face additional taxes if they simply paid me more.

all i'm pushing back on is the original statement that "people should demand an end to private insurers". people who don't get insurance through their employer and/or can't afford it themselves should probably oppose private insurance. software engineers, who already tend to have company insurance and be in high tax brackets, are pretty unlikely to benefit from any efficiency gains from a national health service. people like this can be wiped out by surprise out-of-network fees quite easily, so it is rational to focus on that aspect.

Turing completeness is often too coarse-grained of a view to be meaningful. The interesting thing here is that convolutional nets and cellular automata perform a similar kind of spatially partitioned computation, so connections between the two may be enlightening.

You are making a claim that I don't think has substance. You keep susbstituting "holiday" for "leave". It is not a holiday to take care of a baby, it's work. You are not going to be traveling to nice places or drinking it up. You'll be sleep deprived and busy the whole time because babies are incapable of taking care of themselves. You don't necessarily need to be dealing with the baby 24/7 but someone needs to be available to react to the babies needs or their suicidal tendencies of trying to touch/eat every dangerous thing they see.

Our current setup puts this entirely on the wife and leaves the husband out of it. Requiring paternal leave would both equalize make and female employees in the eyes of employers _and_ allow for the parents to provide care to the child without driving themselves into poor health or depression

How about a law stating that a medical provider has to charge everyone the same price for the same service?

This would eliminate the many-to-many negotiation problem that contributes to absurdities like Duke University Hospital having 1,300 billing clerks for 900 beds (https://www.pbs.org/newshour/economy/why-does-health-care-co...). It would also make it much easier to estimate costs before going to a provider, because instead of having 1000 different prices, that service will have one price (albeit with some variability depending on what's actually done).

If you paired it with a law that mandated that hospitals publish their prices for services in a simple JSON format, such that companies could use it freely to create price comparison tools, suddenly you'd make it much easier for market forces to push prices down to sane levels. It's insane how difficult it is currently to figure out how much even routine and planned operations like delivering a child will cost, and as a result people don't bother to even try, so there's no incentive for hospitals to keep their list prices anywhere near the realm of sanity.
It’s not self-insurance, necessarily. When OP says “zero premium” they mean (even if they don’t know it) that their employer is paying 100% of their premium.

How about the state gets a bill for everyone and the risk is distributed over the population minimizing the cost and improving efficiency? This happens by maximizing the risk pool size and eliminating waste from marketing and executive compensation (and the claims denial department). This happens to also incentivize the state to ensure everyone gets the preventative care they need, and line up incentives re: legislation (for instance around cigarettes and alcohol). Then we can call it “what every other civilized country does.”

> I thought it’s a given that since both CNNs and CAs are Turing complete, you can use one to simulate the other.

They are both Turing complete, yes, but the similarities are deeper. Recurrent CNNs are a very natural way to describe CAs because they both impose exactly the same prior: that the system's underlying laws are spatially quantized, local, and translationally invariant.

There hasn't been much work done in this area. People have made the connection before (e.g. this paper from Sutskever: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1511.08228.pdf) but AFAIK this is the first work to actually look deeply into how well you can recover CA rules with neural nets and gradient descent.

If we are to believe Steven Wolfram's proposition that the universe is a cellular automaton at its core, then learning the rule by gradient descent seems pretty obviously useful, and not something that anyone has really tried yet.

To be more explicit: applying gradient descent to cellular automata has a reasonable likelihood to being the only way to uncover the fundamental laws of reality, and essentially nobody is working on it except OP. So it's a useful paper!
