First, let's not use the phrase "free healthcare" because it's never going to be free. It's more about how we as a society choose to pay the cost. Secondly, reducing the barriers to getting a good medical education could easily be part of the solution. I also think there is a clear downward spiral that occurs when doctors earn exorbitant income, then medical school becomes more in demand, then prices increase, then salaries have to compensate and so on.

Windows 10 of 2019 is much much more safer than windows 7 or xp as example. Much safer security defaults and dozen more security features. So firewall, hosts and unlock origin is what I use. Backups also. Sometimes I do test on VM or via clamav. Defender is off. I did setup 'run only from predefined folders policy' and non admin users for my relatives.

Raymond Hettinger just have a talk at PyCon an hour ago about formal reasoning and solvers. There’s a lot of polish in the talk, with a whole ReadTheDocs site with runnable Python code with solvers written from scratch. The slides aren’t out yet publicly or privately, but I would highly recommend going through the examples when the PyCon committee releases the information. The way he puts it makes it much less intimidating than I thought it would be.

Also Raymond is a very nice guy :D
Funny, because I think the Wolfram language (also as a long-time user) is actually really well-designed and consistent, and has stood the test of time. Even ignoring the standard library, it has a really expressive syntax for pattern matching and functional programming, and I find that you can often do very complex things with very little code. For doing any kind of symbolic manipulation or lazy evaluation, it's pretty hard to beat.

On the other hand, I feel that his theory of cellular automata as some fundamental underpinning to mathematics is misguided.
Of my past 3 employers over the past 8 years (all family plans):

$3000 deductible, no HSA

$6000 deductible, HSA

$9000 deductible, HSA

I pay $370/month in premiums... $100 of that a fee because my spouse is eligible through her employer but the plans are even worse, so we declined it.

So we pay $4,500/year in premiums. Which equates to roughly a 20% effective income tax instead of ~15% normally.

This is ridiculous. Whomever seems best to get a single-payer plan in place is who I'll vote for. Absolutely no reason it should matter who my employer is for what doctor I can go see or how much I pay in private, personal medical bills.

Retirement accounts I feel the same way, but that's a long way off for the US.

Other countries have solved this fucking problem, I'm tired of elected congressmen firing back with "BUT VENEZUALA" quips every time someone mentions "Medicare for all".

And the proper response to that is "So we should eliminate Medicare altogether then, right? Where's your bill for that?"
Published medical prices are not real because most procedures are paid by collective programs like private insurance or Medicare, which use their bargaining power to pay less--sometimes MUCH less--than the public "list price".

You're right that the complexity of medical billing also makes it difficult to anticipate and compare prices. However, that might be more of a side effect of how the billing is done, rather than an unavoidable attribute of medical care.

Arguably, medical providers have the information and capability to package procedures and publish what it actually costs to do them. But they have no incentive to do so, and many incentives to not do so.
Indeed, Europe has been behind the US in tech since WW2. The lead the US acquired in the following ~20 years has proven impossible to overcome. It spawned so many various advantages that compound and build on each other (to say nothing of the single market of enormous size).

If they knew what they were doing, they'd start by massively increasing the pay for software developers across Western Europe. Software is why the US dominates global tech. 1.25 million software developers earning a median of $105,000 in salary.

Software is why Japan wasn't able to dominate tech, despite that being the near universal thought - that it was the inevitable outcome - in the late 1980s and early 1990s. They couldn't do software well, it's the difference between Apple doing the iPod and Sony flailing after the Walkman. It's also why Apple murdered Nokia, it's the software: the smartphone is about the software, not the hardware (which always drifts towards commodity, low value, low margin; Apple was focused on building a device that could effectively run serious software programs). The rise of Microsoft from 1975 to its eventual position as global tech titan by the time Win95 came out, charts the course of the US solidifying its position in tech via software margins. Most of the value gradually shifted from hardware to software, from the 1970s to the 1990s. The immensely profitable nature of most software pours an endless deluge of profit into the US tech machine (which is then used to keep expanding it and buying up global competition).

US cloud dominance is similarly all about the software, rather than hardware in the cloud (again, low margin, low value). It's why Europe can't compete with AWS. Imagine if the US tech dominance were dependent on competing in server hardware, black rectangle smartphones or PC boxes. The US would have entirely gotten its brains stomped in by now. Instead, the US moved upstream and got all the profit in the tech industry: it's all in the software margins.

It's the software, Europe. Pay your software developers a lot more if you want to compete.
Now do the math when you include total out-of-pocket. My napkin says: "Considerably more than 15%". (Unless I misremember, and the 15% German tax doesn't cover the vast majority of cost.) Not to dismiss your point completely, but I could sell you insurance for $1/year, but your total out-of-pocket cost is going to be considerably more than $1.
This is sad to know. Back in India we owned a Remington rifle which was like 80 years old and still worked really well. No Indian made rifle could match its reliability.
Compressing "unnecessarily" high wages will inevitably cause less people to want to assume large amounts of debt for the necessary education and training to become doctors. The doctors that I know chose their career explicitly because of the salary and status that comes with being a doctor. Remove the incentive and you will diminish the supply. Diminishing the supply while also promising free care to all (increasing demand greatly) will result in very long wait times and diminished quality of care.

I think even "they" would appreciate the efficiency of consistent single-payer system. Just imagine the incredible overhead of bureaucracy that would be achieved, no more need of departments set to deal with insurance problems and all. Surely they appreciate how this will all be streamlined and made efficient.

A great bit of activity San Francisco saw recently was someone renting out parking spaces as "office spaces" for like 2.50$ an hour. It pointed out that a similar space in a building would probably go for more like 10$/hour or more, highlighting how little we're valuing our street-side real estate.
ACA requires insurers to cover pre-existing conditions. That's a cost that needs to be recovered, and most of that additional coverage comes by increasing premiums. Ergo, ACA increases premiums.

That is actually quite clever.

Those folks can depart the system and we’ll put an express lane visa in for doctors who want to immigrate to the US. Lots of highly educated healthcare professionals in the world who would want to immigrate to the US and aren’t anchored to unreasonably high wages.

Those doctors you mention picked the wrong career for fat cash and prestige. We can’t allow a broken system to continue because of previously made bad decisions.
Simple approval voting works. Pick only one outcome? Sure, but you lost the chance to pick others.

Excellent observation. Perhaps it’s a twist on Conway’s Law?
I imagine it's because it provides a way to sock away $7k each year in a retirement fund that can be invested in index funds and won't get taxed after 65 on qualified medical expenses making it more valuable than either traditional or Roth IRAs that get taxed on withdrawal and when you put the money in respectively. High-income families have the spare cash to do that, so for them it's a valuable investment vehicle.

The math in the article is a bit off when it claims the "sprawl tax" makes up the difference in higher travel costs when located in sprawling lower cost housing markets. They estimate increased travel cost at $3k/year, $250/month

They take Houston as an example, which is on the opposite end of the housing cost/sprawl spectrum from, say, San Francisco, but the "sprawl tax" math doesn't work here. Given average apartment costs and 30yr mortgages at about 4%:

Houston Avg House Cost:about $300k or $1400/month
SF Avg House Cost: about $1.3 million or $6100/month
Difference: about $54,000/year

Apartments aren't much better:

Houston Avg Apt: about $1100/month or $13k/year
SF Avg Apt: about $3500/month or $42,000/year
Difference: $2400/month or $29,000/year

The sprawl tax doesn't begin to cover these differences. The numbers above are similar for NYC. For Seattle it's less drastic, but still well in excess of $3k/year. Boston is on par with Seattle. On the other hand, Chicago is semi-sprawlish with it's suburbs, and prices are significantly cheaper. About the only place I could find where this "sprawl tax" concept applies successfully after looking at a few randomly picked cities is Hoboken, NJ. A small city twice as densely populated as SF, very popular through proximity NYC and a mini tech hub in its own right. There, buying a house is still not going to even out the sprawl tax, but an apartment will just about do it. (The average cost of apartments vs. houses there is oddly divergent from other cities I looked at.)
Traces vs. Snapshots: Print Statements and Debuggers
I remember several stories in the news before the ACA about employees being pressured to find private insurance or even getting fired because they were raising the group plan's costs. Are you sure it's so cut and dry that it's something you should be maddened about?
I don't think Palantir has a purpose-built app for immigrant children separation and deportation. As far as I can understand (from the product videos that I've seen), Palantir is rather general-purpose software for data mining and analysis. If it's less generic than Excel then only by a small margin.

Invest in a Roth IRA first is good advice. However there are limits, you really should max out both in your early years. While you are at it you should max out your HSA (pay medical expenses in cash)

Of course as others have pointed you are now investing $30,000 before you have paid for any other life expense.

Chris Smith - who wrote the original piece years ago - added a current prologue to the text. I think part of it is an excellent summary so I quote this part here:

> If pressed for an answer, though, yes I still do believe in the central conclusions of the article. Namely:

> That “static typing” and “dynamic typing” are two concepts that are fundamentally unrelated to each other, and just happen to share a word.

> That “static types” are, at their core a tool for writing and maintaining computer-checked proofs about code

> That “dynamic types” are, at their core, there to make unit testing less tedious, and are a tool for finding bugs.

> That the two are related in the way I outline: that one establishes lower bounds on correctness of code, while the other establishes upper bounds, and that questions about their real world use should come down to the possibility and effectiveness of addressing certain kinds of bugs by either computer-checked proof, or testing.

EDIT: When I wrote this comment the post linked to Steve Klabnik's 'reprint' of the temporary lost original article.
Currently it links to the original. The 'reprint' missed the prologue.

Yes let us drag everyone down in the vain chase for this nebulous ideal of 'equality'.
To be fair, this perspective does assume that people care about the health of society as a whole. If you're willing to let others get substandard care or even die, it may be more optimal for you to have your own smaller, lower-risk pool with better benefits.

Tumblr has the resources and technical capability to detect and remove illegal content quickly, and the resources to identify adult content in general. I firmly believe that the issue is in monetizing the adult content, which Yahoo, Oath, and Verizon did not seem to want to do. By removing it, you don't have to host it anymore, and a greater proportion of your traffic is monetized.

Those things are not mutually exclusive.

For example, in England we have academies, which are exactly what you described, directly accountable to the Department of Education. However, we also have community schools, which are accountable instead to local authorities, and we also have voluntary aided schools (like faith schools), which receive some state funding through the local authority, but are primarily funded and run by a foundation.

You still get to choose where your child goes to school, and if you really want to you can also homeschool them.

Private schools are not about choice, they're about quality. Unfortunately, that comes at the detriment of the quality of state education, and ultimately social equality and mobility.

This is a 14yo which was gratuitously accused of being a terrorist by his teachers - the very people that we as a society tell kids to trust and look up to.

He was handcuffed and arrested, he went through a detention intake process, mugshot and all.

The word exploit really does not sound right.

If you go to doctor 2-4 times a year for minor stuff it works out great for you.
If you use if for 4-5 years, savings add up and have some security in the future towards medical related costs.

Does not seem to work great for families with kids or someone who frequently visit the doctors, for young singles with no health issues it can work out great.

Antibiotics must be used in a responsible manner. This is an urgent issue and I am very concerned about their uses in agriculture. That said education is key and I am wary of locking such important drugs ever further behind the corporate-medical industrial complex.
Almost all snipers in the US military today are still using a some Remington 700.

The Mk13 which is expected to replace the Marine's scout snipers M40 is 700-pattern, just not built by Remington.

You're going to be right soon, just not yet.

Likewise, "The Military" is still using Rem 870 and Mossberg 500 shotguns. The "other military" that is, the IRS, Deptartments of Interior, Energy, Education, and everything else; their SWAT teams all use the Rem 700 and 870.

The out-of-pocket max is something you’re likely to hit only if you get sick. The 15% is something you have to pay every year.
There's a big difference in paying for something because you need it done and paying for something you don't even necessarily want but someone did anyway. If you're thinking about "what did this software cost?" and engineering time, then it sounds like the software is already a business need and is being considered from a business perspective.

If I'm furnishing my new empty home and don't have a couch, I'm going to shell out approx. $2,000 for a couch because I need one.

If my house is completely furnished and someone shows up at the door with a couch, I'd either turn them away completely or possibly offer them a small amount after evaluating whether I can even accept it.

IMO claiming that rewarding people for doing any random OSS work they'd do anyway devalues software development in general is concern-trolling.
The distinction seems kind of moot when you’re talking about Genera. The concept of a seperate app seems trivial/non-existant when everything is running in the same address space.
