The 2011 ones were even easier than that. You pressed a lever then half the bottom case came off, exposing the hard drive and battery. The battery came off by just pulling a plastic tab, the hard drive had a couple screws iirc. The 2012 one that I'm typing on now requires unscrewing the bottom case, but still everything is right there behind a couple obvious screws and you can upgrade RAM/HDD/battery/replace disc drive with second hard drive in 20 minutes if you are working slow. I knew it was the beginning of the end when the 2013 macbook shipped with soldered RAM.
Except most Americans are pleased with the healthcare they receive.

https://news.gallup.com/poll/245195/americans-rate-healthcar...

You’ll never hear this in the media, but the reason there isn’t sweeping change on the horizon is because a large majority of Americans are satisfied with their healthcare.

A majority even report being satisfied with their personal healthcare costs.
Here is the thing.

You probably got that advice when you were young, but you wouldn't listen to it even if it was being served by someone you respected because you didn't understand it because you hadn't lived through the things that would make you appreciate that kind of advice.

A muchh better approach is to go make mistakes and you will learn what you needed to learn to get through life.
> being a bit of a shit was cool amongst your peers.

I'll generously interpret that as maybe "being a bit of a cool lad"...except to say that no, I wasn't "cool". There was nothing special, hell I couldn't play a G on any instrument back the, I'm tone deaf). We were just a bunch of mates, boys and girls and in between, who got on well together, shared our good times and bad times. There was no showing off and we welcomed anyone who fancied hanging out.

> I think growing up in the destructive cool environment stunted my personal growth a bit

I'd like to clarify that no part of my 20's was "destructive"....other than the destruction of a motorbike somewhere up Glendevon. I'm not advocating a destructive lifestyle, I'm advocating don't get locked into work and this type of advice in your 20's and then suddenly you're 60 and where did life go?
Why would we hope that in the future they didn't get better at shutting down 3rd party repairs instead of making them support that case?

There are more of us then there are of them. Break it down to the smaller case. Imagine 7 of us are in a lifeboat and 1 person has most of the food and the rest of us have a handful of dinner mints and candy bars. Do we vote to make the one guy share the food or do we hope our candy bars last us until we get rescued.

If necessary not only will we eat his food eventually the rest of us might decide to eat him.

As a sibling comment mentions, the two-front, one-back configuration is out there in sport-leisure type vehicles. I think it appeals to people who want motorcycle-ish sportiness but maybe are turned off by the appearance of complete exposure or the possibility of dropping the bike.

Modern three-wheelers I'm aware of, on roughly the "car-ish <----> bike-ish" spectrum are the Campagna T-REX, the Polaris Slingshot, Can-Am Spyder, Piaggio MP3, and the Yamaha Niken. The first two are pretty "sporty car" vehicles, the latter two "complicated motorbikes", and the Spyder maybe a 40-60 mix, IMO.

> So, what gives you the confidence to say that "we'll get this"?

As in "we'll get this... shoved down our throats," or "we'll eventually give in to this." I think web forums took off because they could more easily display images (and banner ads). News readers were a bit techie, but could have been made as easy to use as modern mail readers with a bit of effort. Heck, there was even a web interface going back decades (gmane).

Imagine the Facebook news feed, but instead of them choosing what you see, you could use a program on your computer to sort, filter, and mark things read. That's what we had 30+ years ago.

This response misses the point though. I don't need to dispute the Milgram experiment[1] or vague claims that "65% of people just want to go along" to attack this "biological" explanation as patronizing, lazy and self serving. In this world and age awash with so many ideas of all kinds, hard-fought and won by people who didn't just idly speculate that their ideas were too brilliant for others to understand, it's a poor excuse to offer this up as an explanation. I can say this about anything. It doesn't change or reveal anything except some cherry picked numbers that vaguely imply the dog ate your homework without convincing anyone else that you did your homework in the first place (and I mean "your homework" in the general sense, not targeted at you or implying that the homework was your duty).

The logic is that you need to power the carbon extraction, and right now we use fossil fuels for power, so you wouldn’t be able to net reduce fossil fuels because you would be burning more than you extract.

Currently, we use a mix of hydrocarbon, hydroelectric, photovoltaic, wind and nuclear for power generation. Photovoltaic is quite economical for daylight and so using intermittent power for this process carbon capture process seems reasonable. Broadly, this could serve as a power sink to balance solar output, a way to use renewables for transportation and a way to suck carbon out of the atmosphere. Not all of those at once but just doing some of that seems like a win.
Having just gone through a situation with a family member who had to go to the ER, have a variety of tests done, be admitted to the hospital for a few days, and be seen by a specialist in the hospital. This definitely hits home. What makes it worse is that it will be months before we know the total cost for us. The ER doctor, the labs, the hospital, the specialist are all separate legal entities. Each potentially with their own staff filing claims to the insurance company. What a crazy system we live with.

I'm sick of hearing this argument. Either it's a small percentage of travellers or it's necessary to combat those crimes, but you cannot have both. The only way to have both of those is if you already have some probable cause or a reason to search particular individuals, in which case there's no need for it to be warrantless.
> "Majority satisfied with cost of their personal healthcare"

BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT PAYING IT

The major tie-in with employers footing a large portion of an insurance premium means most people have absolutely no idea what things actually cost.

Why this is a 'deductible' expense for businesses but not for average working people is insane, and it distorts whatever pretense of a 'free market' there ever might have been.
Its still an absolute bitch even with all the right tools. You get one rusted nut in a tight spot where you can't fit the breaker bar then go ahead and add 4+ hours of cussing and fighting with the car to your job.

Penny payments will never* be viable.

* Never say never. Basically I don't think it could possibly be viable because it would require the total cost of transaction to be less than pennies. That includes the shopkeepers time to manage the automated store, the electricity used in the transaction, and a bunch of other non zero components.

Hell even transactions with real pennies today are almost a net loss. We eradicated 5c coins in NZ because they cost something like 6c to make.

And to be clear I understand you mean micropayments in general and maybe it is something possible im just not yet convinced the electricity costs will allow it unless it's subsidized in an unsustainable way.
We've essentially outsourced slavery. As horrible as that realisation is, none of the arguments against it are very strong.

Shareholders can sue anytime, for any reason, or none at all.

What matters is whether they can win, or cost enough that you have to settle. It appears that shareholders have not had much luck with such gambits.

So this is really more marketing phenomenon: "we won't be as bad as FAGAM", and we rely on the people who chose to work there to keep it honest.

That can work as long as they don't get too big, or too cozy.

Take a look at Google Reader, though. They got skewered for dumping that. But despite being shuttered years after RSS was a thing, even then it was limited to RSS wonks like a lot of us who were the only ones lamenting it (and the decline of RSS).

Fast forward to today and 10x to 1000x the number of us wonks are getting an overlapping amount of Reader's value (plus new value) from Twitter. The purging of Reader is a distant memory, but it doesn't mean it's necessarily bad to try a bunch of things and kill the non-viral losers (in a relative sense).
I am a (non-theistic) Satanist, and I find it easy to understand. The sin in question is to know that there is a God, but reject it even so - or, more broadly, to consider the possibility of God existing as described, but then to conclude that even if it did, one's moral duty is to oppose it.
And Hi5 - I remember kids using that before FB took over.
What perhaps makes it crazier is that they never expect to get the whole $2900. They bill that and the insurance company will always reduce it by a huge amount. Individuals without insurance are expected to also "negotiate".
No, there's never been a company x which was y "for _all_ people".

> You give the bank a dollar. The bank loans 90 cents of it to Bob who puts it in the bank too. The bank didn’t invent 90 cents.

There are now 1.90$ credited to both me and Bob, where before there was only 1$ credited to me. The 90 extra cents are now part of the money supply. They appeared out of thin air.

Perhaps it's unfair to say the bank "invented" the money, but it did create it.

> They’re owed 90 cents from Bob, and they will collect interest on the loan to profit. If no loans are made, the bank will eventually have more than $1.90 in reserves.

If Bob eventually pays back and the bank doesn't make any further loans, the bank will have 1$ (my dollar) and a couple of cents of interest.

> You give Tether a dollar. ???. Tether has $0.70 and you’re not even allowed to get it back.

If I give Tether a dollar Tether has another dollar. I get a Tether token which I can exchange on the open market for whatever the market price is. It supposedly is possible (though inconvenient) to get Tether itself to exchange their tokens for actual dollars (of which they hold only 70%) but (just like a bank) Tether relies on that not happening "at scale".

You can say that about anything. Category theory gets old pretty quickly too. What makes a topic interesting for HN is when it hasn't been repeated yet, and this one seems unusual in that way. However, it's the kind where on-topicness depends on intent. If the intent was intellectual curiosity (e.g. to get interesting feedback), that's great; if it was just promotion, then it's spam. Spammers don't normally ask for UX suggestions though.

aranya is a Kubernetes operator designed for edge devices, it’s esay to deploy and easy to understand.

With aranya, you will be able to
- Manage workloads on you edge devices the same way with cluster nodes.
- Gain full control of your edge devices both host and container.
- Forget ssh, you can kubectl logs/exec/port-forward/attach to your edge devices’ host and container from anywhere at any time, and expose no network port except those for business logic.
- Integrate any device with container runtime into existing Kubernetes.
- Multi-tenant edge device management, which is good for cloud providers.
Blood tests are commonly outsourced by many hospitals but they subsequently mark them up to cover their other costs. But you cannot outsource them to other parts of the world as many tests are inaccurate if the blood sits around too long in transit. Lastly is the problem of interpretation of the results. A person on this website might be bright enough to figure it out but there are a significant number of people who just can't. So once you bring in the doctor costs start rising up. Then you have people for whom even $55 is unaffordable.

> The idea was that an electronic search did not serve the purposes of a search incident to arrest, which focuses more on ensuring officer safety.

The same idea applies here: the scope of the search at the border does not include data on electronic devices, as the government does not have an interest that we need to weigh against the person's liberties. It exceeds the "reasonable" part of the fourth amendment. (The memo filed by the EFF includes this reasoning.)

I don't see this as a "debatable" thing. The constitution is clear on the need for a warrant, and while border crossing is one of those exceptions to the 4th allowing searches despite not having suspicion, the exception doesn't apply to search anything and everything, including data.

(Also, in one of these incidents, the electronics were seized and held for months. While I think this is unconstitutional — clone the drive and call it day.)

I've heard it described as if the pages of the longest and best organized book on the subject had been tossed in the air and sorted randomly moments before publication (I loved reading the book, but it's definitely weird to see little ones or twos in the bottom corners of every page of a book of that thickness, telling you whether to read the page on your first reading of the book or your second)
when I need something, I usually don't have much luxury to 'shop around', and whatever price shopping you may want to try to do is often still hamstrung by 'in network' vs 'out of network' price tables.

I needed a procedure that was going to be ~$1500 at any one of a half dozen places within a 90 minute drive; some were a bit cheaper, but they couldn't see me for more than a month. There were a couple places that were ~$1100, but it basically would have been a whole day's enterprise for 2 people to get me there and back. To save maybe $400. $400 is not nothing, but I wasn't even actually 100% sure their pricing would actually be what we finally paid - no one could guarantee that. So we may have had 2 people take an entire day from earning on the partial chance of saving some money. Might even have been cheaper in another state, but then you've got travel/hotel costs to add as well.
Sure, but that requires a level of investment and effort that a lot of people simply don't have.

The last thing I personally want to do is have to argue with insurance companies and negotiate prices down through the labyrinthine healthcare system after dealing with enough nonsense at work. Even worse if I have to do said negotiation from a hospital bed due to an unforeseen problem, as most health issues tend to be.
The forces of capitalism and most existing forms of government are anathema to decentralization (inherent in the crypto-blockchain premise).

At which point blockchain tech and crypto could only thrive if carried out by hand-calculated hashes on paper transported by motorcycle and carrier pigeon.
A plurality of home and commercial heating in the US involves direct burning of fossil fuels. So even if the grid is 100% renewables, you’re talking about spending thousands of dollars per house to replace oil and gas furnaces with heat pumps.

- Rust doesn't have to keep 30+ years of backwards compatibility. You can learn it.

- Rust makes reasonable decisions by default, and mutable/unsafe code is opt-in.

Essentially you just need an .org file with source blocks with headings like this:

#+begin_src gitconfig :tangle ~/.gitconfig

You can even do it for different systems like so:

#+begin_src gitconfig :tangle (when (eq system-type 'darwin) "~/.gitconfig")

if you need file to be tangled in nested dirs you can add this header:

:mkdirp yes

if you need the content to be encrypted:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle ~/.authinfo.gpg :mkdirp yes
# -- epa-file-encrypt-to: ("your-email@email.com") --
#+end_src
