That's what I previously understood to be the case, but the post I replied to suggested something different -- that states were getting in on the reinsurance game. That's what I object to.

Theoretically, it would be possible for states to do this responsibly in a manner that benefited everyone, but if I weigh the extent to which our system allows interested parties to pay for legislation against the extent to which the public is likely to make reinsurance rates a ballot issue, I can't help but put the probability of a responsible implementation at about 1-2% and the probability of "privatize the gains and socialize the losses" at 98-99%.
From October 2018 to April 2019, what exactly changed with Monzo? If you were to objectively take the 2X-ing of valuation, you'd assume their revenues and profits (if any) doubled in that time frame.

Hard to believe doubling of real KPIs (like GAAP revenues) in 6 months, I hope YC isn't contributing to the unreasonable doubling of valuation without actual KPI changes.

You're right, it's certainly more nuanced than 'money = bad' and 'advertising = bad'.

I still think that in the context of this discussion, open source does solve both the privacy problem and the accessibility problem. But you're right that there are problems, namely incentive, that open source does not solve.

Open source is not the only solution to those problems, and sometimes solving those problems (privacy and accessibility) just isn't practical. In those cases, I would just wish for more transparency.
macOS's current run preferences are:

1. Run only apps from the App Store

2. Run apps from the App Store or signed by a Developer ID

3. Run all apps (a hidden setting)

The default is 2 and you can achieve 3 (even when 2 is selected) by right-clicking and selecting Open on first-launch.

This change relates only to 2. "signed by a Developer ID" is being replaced by "signed and notarized by a Developer ID". This change applies immediately to developers who have never released a Developer ID app and will apply to all Developer ID apps in a future release of macOS.

From a user's perspective, this is a technical change that makes no difference. From a developer's perspective, it's a new, mandatory step in your deployment pipeline but otherwise not a major issue.
How do you prevent a user who is not aware of the consequences but following directions from something they trust from doing it?
That’s not what I’m saying at all. I’m saying that the cost was way too high.

How much does an ER visit like that cost in a sane country? I mean the actual cost, not the “free” that the patient might see from a socialized system. It’s nowhere near that high.

> But even that doesn't include the real sting on the tail of US medicine. You pay a fairly high health insurance premium, but if you actually need health services you then pay again through the nose even with insurance "discounts."

That's mostly not true if you have an HMO plan, but your employer may not offer HMO plans if it offers insurance, the HMO may not be a good one if it is available, or it may not cover good providers in your area.
> In the U.S. you’re required to pay taxes on income made both domestically and internationally.

As a dual filer, I know this is not true. As a U.S. citizen, you are required to file taxes on all income, foreign source or U.S. source, but you are not required to pay taxes on all of it. And why remain a U.S. citizen anyway if you can't afford it?
It's hard to tell, because pricing is so opaque, but everywhere the incentives are misaligned.

Insurance companies are regulated on profit margins, which means it's actually in their interest for costs to rise, since their income is limited to a percentage of the costs. Administrative overhead at the insurance company is limited by percentage as well, but I don't think that includes the overhead at medical offices required to deal with insurance billing.

Users may be able to pick between different cost options, but at best they know the direct cost to them, not the overall cost. There's also a sense of wanting to get the most the insurance will cover, because that's why you paid for it.

Doctors' compensation is certain a factor, especially since there are effective rate limits on new doctors based on the number of slots for residencies, that aren't adjusted for population growth.

Employers (who are usually the ones selecting the insurance plans) may be cost aware, but might be selecting based on direct costs to the employer and not on total cost to the employer and employee combined.
Apple offers many ways to self-issue mobile apps, but they all have restrictions that prevent them from being used for malware attacks. That’s how they were able to globally kill that Facebook VPN scam app that used Enterprise Certificates, and that’s why all non-enterprise app distribution methods carry an expiry: either you’re a free sideload developer (one week), a TestFlight user (twelve weeks), or an enterprise user (no expiration unless your enterprise earn a revoke for distribution to the public).

The scenario you describe, where my pocket brain can be enrolled in a third-party App Store, is hostile to my security requirements for my pocket device and I’m glad Apple prohibits it.

> the traditional Linux desktop, in all its variations, will remain a niche operating system for power users.

Is it not the case that, well, _computers_ are a niche system for power users?

Most of the developers I know use OSX or Linux.

The students I know are all on OSX and effectively use Office and the browser.

People with bog-standard office jobs are on Windows because their employer controls their machine.

Everyone else doesn't really use traditional "computers", it's all phone stuff.
At which age did that start?

For me at 25 I had my first true panicked state while flying which coincided with being afraid of being on highrises + all bridges over Thames in London.

This all also coincided with panic attacks in crowded theatres.

I am currently 27 and it’s getting better. But damn it freaked me out the first time and when it persisted - I had been anxious before, but could control that.

But I agree - I myself think it’s pure anxiety which is disconnected from specific phobias; it’s just somehow triggered by specific high-level concepts.
I think there was a time not too long ago where you could say, "the US spends more on it's military than all other countries of the world combined." That's no longer true (thanks China!) but it's still not too far off.

You got resilience pretty wrong here. If you start with a single PC at home and a single ISP, you actually get like three nines of availability, not everywhere of course, but in urban areas you mostly do. Which is almost exactly what a datacenter can get you. But interestingly enough, you can get even better resilience at home than in a datacenter by having just another PC connected to another independent ISP. That's because an ISP is a pretty significant point of failure and you can't get another independent ISP in a datacenter (not that you need it, as using a different independent datacenter instead is much better for resilience).

> What's the reasoning behind this?

Lack of multi-column text support on the Web. Optimal readability is around 64 characters per line - more than that hurts quite a bit, especially for long-form text where accurate scanning is more important.
Or emulate a network, generate a DHCP response for your favorite /31 and don't send a router, and point a public domain name at the other address in that /31.
... I think both made errors there unintentionally.
I think the primary advantages of something like this is more so that it enables you to use it with terminal tools, and from/in other programs (e.g. calling it from vim). There's also the benefit of increased productivity if you want to stay in terminal. It wasn't designed to to be more ergonomic than the browser based one.
The author actually loads 10x that much CSS (546 bytes) into the example page! [1]

Granted that is still not much but here I've augmented the 546 byte example to render nearly the same results with only 155 bytes. [2]

I've removed rem units as it's easier for all to understand without them. Pixel units scale just fine across the browsers available these days so there's no need for the mental hurdles and explained calculations. I've left them in the source HTML all the same for the sake of testing. The real feature making sites look good across a ever widening array of pixel densities today is this meta tag that was also used in the example HTML: <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width"> [3]

Setting a font-family generically on the body tag gives the shortest path to consistent, doesn't-look-like-times-new-roman, font styling possible.

I left the unmentioned line-height in because it's a good default. It adds a little basic spacing between wrapping lines of text.

Styling elements that are children of the article to only have bottom margins gives consistent spacing to all content, and since top margins collapse [4] we can avoid dealing with them all together.

Technically I did, since my taxes pay for it. What I didn't pay for is the overhead of clerical work from two different corporations for mailing me letters informing me of how arbitrarily priced my doctor visit was.
Kernel extension already require a special developer certificate. You should explain to Apple what you need it for, then if your are accepted by Apple you get a new signing certificate including kernel Extensions. After that you can do "anything".
With the notarized every app will be needed to be scan by Apple before. It's something a lot more painful than Microsoft Windows Defender which do the same (first launch of unknown app) for every app and maintained a worldwide database of signature of authorised apps.
I'd say number of those who can't torrent is negligent in comparison to those who can. I.e. what you call "casual piracy" is simply a rounding error. Those who can't, also quite easily can find those who can, and "casually" copy it from them without torrents. So DRM does nothing there, while only costs money to those who use it.

Overall, some sizable amount of those who do pirate would rather buy, if there were DRM-free options available. Games use case demonstrated it quite clearly.

Warnings and whac-a-mole types of methods are completely pointless, it was proven over and over. They don't do anything besides wasting resources. So DRM proponents should unstick their heads from their backwards mentality, and should start selling DRM-free video. That's the only positive thing they can do about it.

> This doesn't seem to be a major problem for the EU, which has unrestricted internal migration but social programs are administered by the individual member states

I might be off the mark here, but from my understanding wasn't unrestricted migration one of the big drivers behind Brexit? Or at least the idea that the "poor countries" were "taking advantage" of the "rich countries"?

It's my understanding that by donating a small, but recurring amount such as $1/month, you are still helping organizations like SPLC or PP by adding to the numbers of their contributing supporters. That seems like a good alternative to cutting off support, which would free up the money for a more cash-strapped cause.
You’re not that far off from reality. I’m currently in the US because career opportunities are far superior here.

However, if I were to get seriously and chronically sick I would back to my home country. Not that i couldn’t get very good care in the US, but the system here is just a massive burden compared to countries with universal coverage.
I suppose, as selfish as it might be, that I would like people to at least try to see if they can bear to use a web site the way I designed it, perhaps for the same reason a conscientious chef would very likely prefer you to at least try her food before immediately reaching for the salt and pepper.

As an aside: I don't use Concourse as a body font; it's not something that strikes me as particularly suitable for long stretches of text. But I think it's fine in headlines. It also has multiple letter variations you can use, and my web site uses the "British" stylistic set, which has a different "f" and "t" (and "l" and a few other characters) from the default used on most of its site.

Good question. As I understand it, the USB stick can present itself as a keyboard, which is automatically mounted, and begins entering a series of keystrokes that program the system to compromise itself.

The international comparison is a bit eyebrow raising. It has two countries (Canada and the Netherlands), which are on the lower side in terms of overall taxation, on opposite sides of the scale. The Netherlands is listed as the highest tax jurisdiction, at 48%, despite having one of the lower tax burdens in Europe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_tax_reven.... Canada is listed as just 11%.

I think it's generous to consider MCAS a variety of "flight envelope protection" considering in the working case it causes a MAX to behave unlike an NG in the same situation. In the perturbed case it's a likely saboteur.

Air France was criticized for not having high altitude training for the “vol avec IAS douteuse” procedure, in the Air France 447 final report. Pilots need to know all behaviors, natural and artificial, of an airplane.

I am very curious to what degree airlines knew of MCAS, and whether they instigated or were part of the conspiracy to withhold necessary training from pilots in order to avoid different a type certification for the 737 MAX, and thereby avoid pilots needing a type rating for it. The decision to deny training for MCAS is 180 degrees from the lesson that should have been learned from AF 447.

I wouldn’t say that the govts of socialized systems negotiate rates down, it’s more of “this is what you will get paid”.

Yes, I meant to imply but I meant specifically in light of the current presidential administration and its posture toward government spending.
It's not about China being any "smarter* than anyone else.

Here's the reality, the consequences, both financial and otherwise, for being wrong in China are a good deal more deleterious. (Ever lose that kind of a job for incompetence in China? You won't be getting another one.) So, not surprisingly, Chinese airlines, experts and regulators will more readily err on the side of caution. Simple as that. It's just basic human psychology.

By comparison, there are no consequences at all if you or I are incorrect in some assertion we make on Hacker News. Certainly no lasting repercussions of any great concern.

So making that comparison as you did is a bit non-sensical. Of course experts do things differently than some randoms on HN.
