It also prevents some of the anticipated benefits of the single-payer system.

- Providers don't realize the anticipated reductions in administrative overhead, since they may still need to retain the same complexity in billing but just with a radically different distribution of claims.

- Consumers may still end up having issues with providers accepting plans. Especially if you leave a loophole that allows providers to decline the single-payer option but accept the private versions that cover the same service.

- Consumer confusion can come into play related to covered services. One potential draw of the private version would be lax qualification standards for a specific coverage item. But if they decline coverage and the consumer tries to fallback on the single payer system, they may not have gotten the proper approvals or step therapy to have the procedure covered. The private company will have a marketing department to ensure negative consumer sentiment ends up falling on the lap of the single payer system.

- Economies of scale. The single payer system has market power specifically explicitly because of the fact that they own the whole consumer pool. If you allow it to remain fragmented, it lowers the single payer's negotiating power.

- Risk pool. The private company is more likely to skim off the healthiest consumers from the risk pool, and leaving the unhealthiest. This causes all kinds of issues from a political standpoint. The private companies can offer more attractive "perks" (like covering the same procedure, but streamlining the qualification process) because their risk pool is less likely to actually need that procedure. This would incentivize the top end of the market to purchase the plans (or offer as employee benefits, such as now), who would then feel negatively about the single-payer option because they're being forced to pay into that while not actively using it since it appears "worse" (even though it covers the same things).

At the end of the day, the clause isn't strictly necessary for a single payer system. But without that clause, you introduce quite a few failure modes and unnecessary friction points that can be completely avoided by simply disallowing duplicative private policies from being sold.
Welcome to Stephen Wolfram. Wolfram is madly in love with his own ideas, even when those ideas are not nearly as original or world-shakingly profound as he seems to think they are. That he is a genius does not mean he is not in a state of arrested development; prodigious genius like his can impede one's development because people around the genius are so in awe of them that they are unwilling to give them the much-needed corrections and reality checks it takes to grow.
The minor html variant standardized as epub is alive and well, and ubiquitous for ebooks — whereever exact page layout (like scientific textbooks) and page # references don't matter.

With very narrow exceptions, that are even narrower than PDF publishers think, epub is and should be preferred even for technical or academic writings. (Kindle's kf8 format is just a repackaged variant of epub.)
I totally disagree. The Guardian has outright lied about people I have personally spoken to. They also constantly call people Alt-Right. I actually emailed them about them calling people Alt-Right (which is a very specific meaning these days) and they wouldn't give me a definition, which means they don't know what it means.

There are events that I was either a part of that they have lied about by carefully omitting the truth or using the good old scare quotes. Their opinion pieces are written by awful hypocrites that constantly demand increasing censorship of the internet in the UK.

It looks like their e-begging has worked. I was hoping it was going to go under.

BTW. I generally hate all the press in the UK. This includes both left wing and the right wing rags. They all lie or misrepresent the truth when it suits their narrative.
Using syringes for hydraulics has been around forever. I remember instructions for making a 'hydraulic' backhoe in a Cub Scout booklet nearly 40 years ago.

I'm not knocking the kid, but the adulation over his accomplishment -- copying a DIY project off YouTube most likely -- is absurd.
In what way is Marc screwed? In the scenario given, even though Marc's debts exceed his current savings, there's every reason to believe his future income will outpace his debts and that he'll be able to maintain his standard of living until he dies.
Yes! This is why I have suggested using my metric DIPHLoW:

Discretionary Income Per Hour Lost to work:

Discretionary income: Income minus taxes and minimal housing costs.

Hour lost to work: Time at work plus time commuting

That more completely captures the tradeoffs that policymakers face.

They can't just sigh and expect people to move further out, be cause, yes, it increases discretionary income, but also increases time lost to work, so isn't necessarily an improvement.

Higher taxes might be a good idea if they can be used to scale up transportation capacity in proportion to the hit to DI.

And policies that reduce pre-tax income might be a good idea if the housing savings cancel it out.
They don't push peripheral interfaces into a standard channel-like format.

How does this not describe a PCIe bus master?

Frankly I don't understand any of this. High-performance I/O works by accessing main memory directly, just like it always has. The CPU then has to wait on main memory, just like it always has. Saying that the CPU is somehow the bottleneck seems to fall into the "not even wrong" area. There is no danger of I/O bandwidth approaching L1 or even L2 speeds anytime soon.

>the second isn't because it's a routine service that shouldn't be so expensive that you can't pay it out of pocket.

This is a little dicey. What if my doctor thinks it’s just not a normal cold and he needs to order blood work and ct scan? And that leads to a insurable risk.
I don't know the details but my understanding is that it is partly covered by tax law - if the employer kicks employees who get sick off the insurance, they (and all the other employees) lose some or all tax deductions for health care premiums. The employer can, however, still fire people to get around that.
> I thought BP was built on top of Live Sequence Charts

Yes, but LSC are also based on temporal logic, as were Harel's Statecharts (perhaps the first synchronous programming language).

> I mean you still need an even selection mechanism for it or not?

Not sure what you mean by "even." TLA+ is nondeterministic, and the formulas can serve as rules to restrict that nondeterminism (where simple logical conjunction is used to compose the rules). Also, nothing is really "implemented" in TLA+, as it's not a programming language. It's a formal specification language that describes the behavior of discrete systems.
> a computer to have sufficient accuracy to model the world would by definition need to have as much memory as the world, and model itself in it.

But what if we had certain "compression" abilities that allowed us to simplify the world? Similar to how storing an audio codec lets us massively minimize how much storage we need for music?

Oh man. If money isn't important then why borrow it? There's a disconnect there -- one that, I might add, I suffered from to some degree at that age. What everybody tried to tell me, and what I would say to your kid if there were a chance in hell she would ever read this, is, "Money isn't everything" only when you have enough. Although her net worth is now negative so in a way she's poorer than someone who has nothing. And she'll soon get to experience what paying that off feels like. Money might not feel important, but it's important to the people who are gonna be demanding payment.

But that's not really even it. Spending tons of money (especially money you don't have, which always costs more) is not what you do if you care more about experience than money. Someone who values experience over money spends time learning different ways of cooking beans & vegetables - delicious, nutritious. She gets a bike, learns to maintain it, and rides it everywhere, including to the farmer's market. After some advanced practice maybe she even learns to make her own clothes. These are all fulfilling and empowering experiences that deprioritize the spending of money. It even feels a little bit rebellious, because you don't have to earn tons of money, and can be somewhat less dependent on a consumerist lifestyle and all the hidden burdens that go with that. Like credit card debt servitude for instance.

That's what "money is less important" looks like. Whereas if the "experiences" you like are flying to Europe and shit, you like money. You're a Davos-ass mothafucka, with a Sasquatch carbon footprint, to boot. Life isn't Instagram. Glory lies in all directions and experience comes no matter what. Everything is an experience and most of the good ones are free. Don't fall for advice from your ignorant-ass peers, or from influencer/manipulators, or from lazy shallow journalists who want to characterize your whole generation in one wildly-inaccurate sentence!

I worked on an idea like this at a Fortune 500 company several years ago. It seems like a great idea, but it's not scalable at all.

A better solution is to pipe these numbers to a machine and let it worry about tracking all these values.

Then if you need to guide a human to that rack, (and for some reason you're not using rows & columns or an ordering system that _makes any logical sense_; THEN use Augmented Reality ...or better still, have strip lighting LED in the floor that's controlled by the same system to guide the human there.

This is an interesting perspective.

Just as a counter argument, one of the things we tried to do at a previous employer was data exfiltration protection. This meant using outbound proxies from our networks to reach pre-approved urls and we don't want to mitm the TLS connections. This leaves a bit of a problem, because we don't want to whitelist all of s3, the defeats the purpose, so we had to mandate using the bucket.s3 uri style, which is a bit of a pain for clients that use the direct s3 link style, but then we could whitelist buckets we control.

I don't want to say this use case is more important, but I can see the merits of standardizing on the subdomain style, and that this might be a common ask of amazon.
Haha, fair, that was just the first painpoint that sprung to mind. They're fairly common on visa and passport applications, and some other government forms. I guess if you're accepting paper submissions for whatever reason not having to transcribe the contents is a big win.

> How hard is it for 99% of the developers and technical leaders here to search your codebase for s3.amazonaws.com and update your links in the next 18 months?

I've got a number of hobby projects, some hosted on AWS, that I built ages ago. I have no idea how this change will effect those projects because ... I just frankly don't remember the codebases. I built them on a weekend, set them up, and now just use them.

It isn't the end of the world. But I'm not really excited about having to dig up old code, re-grok it, and fix anything that changes like these might break.

I suppose that's just the nature of a developer's life. But I think many of us long for a "write once, run forever" world. Horror stories about legacy software aside, it was nice to be able to write software for Windows and then have it work a decade later.

1. My post offers no opinion and makes no point other than that “there was bad blood a long time ago”, offering as evidence of that some articles by known Wikileaks supporters explaining the “why” from their perspective.

2. The fact that I linked to those articles (and my own comment preceding the links), makes no claims as to the veracity of those claims. However they do underscore the fact that there was bad blood between WL and TG.

3. Your post plays the man rather than the ball to attack claims I never made (clearly however others must feel the same way you do).

EDIT: correction to type of argument in point 3.
GPUs are latency hiding engines...they address the mismatch between processor clock speeds and memory latency by a unique scheme. Since they can’t improve memory latency, instead they parallelize memory and vastly increase the bandwidth available.

Once they have increased memory system bandwidth to be able to feed the multiprocessor throughput, the rest of the architecture is designed to make the most efficient use of it.

They spawn thousands of threads and schedule them in and out really quickly... so the processor utilization is always as close to 100% as possible. When a thread is waiting for memory it is put to sleep in a few clock cycles. When it’s data is available it wakes up and does it’s business. Since the workload is split among thousands of threads therefore there is somebody ready to be scheduled. This is why GPUs only make sense to run on massive workloads.

The same trick can be used to hide SSD latency.

So, I clicked on the link to understand how this was different than their existing drag-and-drop machine learning tool, and...

> This tool, the Azure Machine Learning visual interface, looks suspiciously like the existing Azure ML Studio, Microsoft’s first stab at building a visual machine learning tool. Indeed, the two services look identical. The company never really pushed this service, though, and almost seemed to have forgotten about it despite the fact that it always seemed like a really useful tool for getting started with machine learning.

> Microsoft says this new version combines the best of Azure ML Studio with the Azure Machine Learning service.
In practice, this means that while the interface is almost identical, the Azure Machine Learning visual interface extends what was possible with ML Studio by running on top of the Azure Machine Learning service and adding that services’ security, deployment and life cycle management capabilities.

The answer is "not much."
All voting systems benefit highly coordinated groups.
There are some additional assumptions you need. First that people are transparent. Second, that they are honest. Third that they are consistent. So, while voting in isolation has a cost — wasted votes — so does coordinated voting — misinformed votes. The wasted votes problem will never make you miss your favorite, but the misinformed vote problem could be catastrophic.
But professors are usually also required to teach classes or carry out other duties in return for getting research funding. They don't just get to randomly do whatever they want.

And doctors treating 'random illnesses' doesn't really work as an analogy–that would be more like if they could randomly decide to turn away patients they didn't 'want' to treat.

There is a problem if there are 99 items to vote for, which are all aligned with each other, more or less, ideologically, and 1 item that is diametrically opposed to these. Someone casting 99 votes for those 99 items has political power over someone trying to concentrate on that one, only able to cast 6. This system works best if all the choices are very distinct.

If numerous choices are really just minor variations of the same choice, that tends to undermines the system with a rather gaping hole. The cynical observer might note that in fact that's the idea behind it: entrench the power of the bland, indistinct choice in leadership.
I guess his "stoic thoughtfulness" protects him from heartbreak.

Both you and the poster you're replying to are comparing debt to savings rather than debt to income. Taking the numbers from a downstream reply, the guy with the $120K mortgage on the $150K house is ahead if he can comfortably afford the monthly payment on his mortgage with the $80K annual salary.

The entire point of taking out a loan is that you don't have the assets available to outright buy the thing you're taking out the loan for. Obviously, people can take on too much debt, be trapped by usurious interest rates, and so on; you need to be realistic about how much debt you can afford, and a lot of people aren't (often through no fault of their own). But "my total debt at this moment in time exceeds my savings" is not in and of itself a harbinger of financial doom.

It is not open data.

You still can have proprietary blocks of info inside the file.

The lack of open source tools to manipulate the format is a major hindrance IMHO.

It is also a very space wasting as well when people only do a bitmap dump into the file for scans. Forms are also an area that is not open source either.

It has so many hacks and kludges, it would be better if it was trashed and we start with postscript again.

Seems a bit circular doesn't it? Someone who doesn't pay $2.75 is expected to pay the $22K jail bill or... go to jail?
Magical compression algorithms that have amazing compression ratios and amazingly computational cost to reasonably decompress to process the data could theoretically raise the upper bound of a computational world. But compression cannot solve for an unbounded recursion problem in the simulator having to model itself it's model of the world, unless we arrived at an analytical closed-form solution for any prediction rather than relying on any modeling.

Well they don't claim any ownership, so: problem solved! :)

There's a benefit to having the option to transfer ownership though when it makes sense: some projects become a support burden, or incur hosting costs, or have just lost your interest.
