"Unlimited PTO" or "Vacation Freedom" or whatever cool term some people person wants to stick on it... it's really only as good as the company culture, boss and you make it. It's truly a combo of all three and people often forget that last one.

I've worked in several companies now that offer unlimited vacation. At first it was very strange to me and to be honest I didn't really utilize it properly at first. As I got older and wiser, I've been better at using it ... and also been at companies that were more vacation friendly.

If your boss is all for you taking the time off that you need, because your boss treats you like a fully grown adult capable of doing your work... you're gonna have a great time. If your company culture doesn't look at you like you have 3 heads for taking a half day off, you're probably good to go. If you remember that in order to enjoy the "benefit" of those vacations is to actually take the time off... then happiness is.

Most of the time when talking about unlimited PTO vs regular, people hammer on the point of "unlimited PTO = no money when you leave". For those people who want to work at a company for 366 days straight, get their 1yr cliff options, quit, take a month long vacation, get a new job...repeat. Then for them, they are totally correct, the pay out is good. However if you get smart about actually USING your vacation periodically, then who cares about the payout?
Lock receives signal from Key, writes down time and picks a random key and uses these to create a ciphertext, encrypts that with the public key of Key to create a second ciphertext and sends. Key receives message, decrypts with private key to first ciphertext and encrypts that with the public key of Lock and sends back. Lock decrypts message with private key and earlier random key, compares to current time and if it has taken more than a set time period does not unlock.

The clock has to be pretty fast, but you can get a secure time of flight measurement, so you can absolutely know the distance of the radio signal path.

> Huawei stole a Canadian company's technology

Then Canada gets to do the arresting and jailing.

Re next 2 points: If you want to justify violance you need stronger triggers. Those 2 just give the US right to ban the Huawei from country or using the USD.

This looks like US doing it because it can. But then US is not facing USSR whose going to die from self-inflicted wounds. China have the most capitalist companies (Apple/etc) defending it.
> they don't make it all the way there because they are repelled by some other force

A repulsive force is not the best way to think about it. The potential of the nucleus is the usual -1/r, and goes to (negative) infinity at zero. A repulsive force would be incorporated into the potential and appear as a bump around the nucleus, and would mess up the electron orbital.

A hand-wavy explanation of why the electron doesn't fall in: if you try to push the electrons into the nucleus, you necessarily localize the electron into a smaller volume; this means its wavefunction must get "spikier" and therefore it has more kinetic energy. This kinetic energy rises faster than the potential energy drops, so the state of lowest energy is actually found at an average radius > 0.

Note that it took quantum mechanics to rescue the atom. A classical electron could fall into the nucleus.

I do not see any problem with a negative-mass particle accelerating towards the force. The analogy with opposite charges seems right to me.

This fails to address the elephant-sized American in the room. Any analysis of increasing healthcare costs that doesn't quantify the fiscal impact of the average American's failure to care for themselves is just beating around the bush. The obesity rate alone has gone from 10% in the 60s to 40% today. These people need more care that is harder to provide, and to not expect healthcare costs to rise significantly from that is to expect healthcare workers to work for free.

Our system is a little sick, sure, but the bulk of the responsibility for the current situation lies squarely at our own feet as individuals. This problem will never be solved before America puts down the fork.
Yeah this helped me create a mental picture that kind of makes sense. It would clarify why negative mass is also concentrated in areas of high mass, and could also provide the mechanism for constant universe expansion, as the space between masses is constantly being pushed away by the diffuse negative mass. Heh, armchair physics is fun :)

Quick question:

What if America's education problem is that the children don't have parents who can nurture them?

Because we have stagnant or decreasing real wages? Because the cost of daycare, housing, health, and advanced education have all gone up? Because we're making it harder to declare bankruptcy? Because we're criminalizing activities, and ripping families apart?

Maybe it shouldn't be a surprise that our education is ranked poorly.

And pointing to education, as though it's a system we can study in isolation, and claim that it's a failure, therefore other state-run systems must also be failures, isn't really being honest?

And maybe it's worthwhile to look at other countries with the economic conditions we're proposing. Like single payer healthcare. Because we can look at them.

You're absolutely right that "just because something is run or controlled by the state does not mean it will magically be either efficient or high quality."

But people like you seem to delight in using that as an argument against government programs that have been shown to be effective, again and again, in country after country.

So then I can say, "just because something is run or controlled by the state does not mean it will be either inefficient or low quality."

And we've both said something completely meaningless, and now can we please get back to looking at examples from other countries, and try to learn from them?
It seems like this is easy to do with cryptography. Sounds like a gross negligence on the car makers part, similar to storing passwords in plain text.

Not anymore, I don’t believe.
Its such a fundamental change I doubt a study could accurately predict changes. I can't read the PDF but I know debate often misses things like:
* A big boost for companies as unprofitable companies don't have to pay healthcare of employees. (assuming paid with taxes)
* Free medical care means things like ambulance chasing lawyers are not required
* Govt is more incentivized to look after the health of citizens as it has to pay for diabetes treatment etc.
* People are more likely to retire early, or quit work and live cheaply.

Price controls cause shortages. Simple economics.

"Easy to do" how? Please give an example, not an analogy.
"cost controls the paper appears to advocate for literally mean someone is making less money"

Reference Table S1.

Cost controls would account for ~14.5% of the total savings.

Hardly seems onerous. Medicare's medical loss ratio is approx 4% (?), whereas ACA caps private insurers at 15%. So clearly there's plenty of fat to be trimmed.

TL;DR: Single payer is cheaper, people live longer. Transition will be painful.

The only thing America can really do to get healthcare costs under control is actually really obvious: put down the fork.
I have always given specific individuals as references as well. The companies I was referencing were ones where the management had a policy of agreeing not to give references.

Again this is super weird because the only thing that is an issue is giving a negative reference so a lack of a positive reference could be interpreted as a negative reference... thus, not giving everyone a positive reference should be a similar issue.

That entire law is sort of silly in most cases though, but the cases where it isn't (ex. a malicious boss for stupid reasons) are serious enough that I understand why it's around while being sad that we need it.
If the US doesn't like the way Huawei does business, they are free to ban them from selling products in their country. Bringing criminal charges is still ridiculous.
If we removed the profit paid to investors, isn't there additional money to be paid to people facilitating healthcare and to bring the costs down?

It looks like there was $47 Billion, (~9%) in profit in healthcare companies in the US in 2018.

Not agreeing with OP, but citing single studies is often pretty misleading. It is better to look for meta studies because the outcomes typically vary considerably, so you cannot be sure a single study is reliable.

Here are two meta studies based on 20 and 140 other studies, respectively, and they only find a weak to no link between gender diversity and productivity, so neither does the science prove that gender diversity is particular beneficial, nor that it is harmful:

Hm, good point. I guess I don't really know how these systems work. I assumed there was some kind of rotating value but I have no reason to believe this. Based on these attacks it seems the keys are really just sending the same signal every time. That appears to be a real shortcoming of the design.
You know this mindset is becoming the norm. Everything is about doing the minimum to be legal and avoid lawsuit.
I believe I saw similar results comparing typed arrays vs simple objects with numerical keys when doing this refactor[0] at least in V8. In my case case multiple child keys may match so I need to scan them instead of indexOf but otherwise it sounds similar. Also didn't see benefits from turning non-branching paths into arrays, maybe due to fairly shallow trees. I've also used a very simple trie implementation for public-suffix tree matching in my own extension[1] so interested in what the current best way to implement this sort of thing is in JS.

How did you reach the conclusion that you had to trust ProtonVPN?

> For VPN service, I trust Mozilla more than to just about anybody: they're nonprofit, have clear and transparent governance, have many mission-driven employees, and would lose more than they could possibly gain by breaking the terms of service on a VPN.

It seems to me that none of these are reasons to trust either Mozilla or ProtonVPN. The reason to trust Firefox is that it is free software (free as in freedom to run, inspect, share, and modify). If you don't like what Firefox is doing, you have the permission you need to change your copy, or hire someone to vet and/or change the copy you run, and you can help others by distributing your improved version. The seeds of coming to trust Firefox are in its software freedom, not in any public relations effort or perception about Mozilla's employees.

So there's nothing about Firefox that compels you to trust or use ProtonVPN. The limits of how trustworthy you want to make Firefox are up to you individually and other Firefox hackers collectively.
I don’t agree with this, selective enforcement at least has a ceiling of what you can be arrested for. Arbitrary arrest does not have such a ceiling.

The elastic nature of health care costs and the disconnect between the people making the purchases and the people paying the bills.

If you have insurance, chances are that you are not asking your doctor how much something is going to cost. You are not likely to shop around or work to get the best deal. As a healthcare provider, where is the incentive to bring costs down.

I think you make good points, but I wouldn't assume that the current U.S. political situation will persist. The right wing in the U.S. didn't assume that and acted to change the formerly more centrist situation to a more polarized one, and from a more active government to a now radically inactive one.

> There's far less contention regarding the scope and design of those things.

There is less contention now, when they are mature solutions deployed decades ago. I expect that the situation was much different at the time they were proposed.
I don't know what Meet is.

When I add an event in Google Calender, there is an "Add Conferencing" dropdown...in it is "Hangouts". That adds a conference link to the event, which I can then share with whoever I want to meet with. When it comes time to meet, I open the email reminder, or look in my calendar, and click the link. Everybody shows up...we meet. That's Hangouts, as far as I know. It opens in the Hangouts group video UI. I receive these invites from others pretty regularly, so I don't think it's anything mysterious? But, as far as I know I've never received a Meet invite.

Google is very bad at branding and marketing is what I think we can learn from this.

Reification doesn't just impose a substantial complexity cost on dynamic languages in the CLR, either. See this F# feature request from 2011 that is effectively unimplementable:

https://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/121579-visual-stud...

As GP mentions, Haskell is a great example of achieving both superb type safety and superb type expression with type erasure. That said, sometimes you don't want superb type safety - things like dependency injection and mocks are examples of frameworks you can use in languages with some amount of type reification without restructuring your entire codebase. Java/JVM achieve a decent balance here imo.

Maybe an SSD under a heavy datacenter I/O load is indeed less reliable than an HDD.

But in a laptop, a device that you lug around, move around while working, and sometimes even drop, a precise mechanical device has a much larger chance to misbehave, to my mind. Its I/O load is way lower than in the datacenter, too.

> I want a browser that is reliable, high quality, respects my privacy, and nothing else. I don't want addons baked into it. I don't want to be spied on.

I recommend that you look into what you're getting with software freedom -- the single most important aspect that makes Firefox different from Google Chrome, Microsoft's web browsers, Opera, or Apple Safari. All of the items on your list can be changed by using your software freedom. And this doesn't have to involve you learning to program (though that wouldn't be a bad idea). It could involve you asking programmers nicely to help you out, or hiring programmers to improve Firefox to be what you think it should be, or getting funds together with others who share your views to collectively fund programmers who work on your shared goals.

As it stands your desire reads selfishly because it is indistinguishable from you saying that you want programmers to develop a free software (free as in freedom to run, inspect, share, and modify) web browser you trust without you doing anything to help vet its trustworthiness or modify the software until it becomes software you trust. We don't have to settle for doing nothing; software freedom lets us have as much control over free software as we wish to have. The limits are on us to make things better.
I am aware of sufficient enforcements (admittedly second hand) to assume that at least certain firms are quite serious about pursuing them up to and including people basically looking to have a similar role at either another firm or independently.

But, yes, the chilling effect is much broader.
I also found out that there are a few bad "managers" that end up raising because they are popular with people and their bosses. They usually have a very high EQ.

You can see a few people with little technical acumen, shallow knowledge of the latest trends, very bad on processes and no work ethic that still rise in some organizations.

These people spend a lot of time "managing up" on a side and on the other side they are also nice with their employees. They help them move up the ladder and pay higher bonuses demanding less work than other bosses. It is hard to find even good employees give a bad review to somebody that give them extra money and make them work "comfortably".
Cost controls also have a cost.

Stripe's usage of "lurking" is a bit idiosyncratic. (There are a couple of other words like this, distributed in a glossary, the majority of which is less idiosyncratic word usage and more industry- or company-specific jargon.)

In the sense used here, "Lurking into someone's thread" means sending an unsolicited comment to a thread you were not an expected participant on.

This is something we're broadly supportive of but which, if done poorly, can be socially contentious. You could imagine pathologically bad examples like "Hey thanks for working on this project for the last 8 months, but before you ship it, just wondered if we had considered adding a teal bikeshed?
