I wouldn't take ranting on cassette tapes and then offing yourself as a sign of mental stability(and i would be more likely to be selected for a jury as a result). The average judge wouldn't even bother listening to the tapes and would ask for a transcript and MAYBE listen to one or two tapes for emotional context(good luck if those were the most incoherent tapes).

Also you are SEVERELY over-estimating how much empathy the average society has for dead people. sure it's shocking but the human mind bounces back REALLY quickly. if it didn't then every school shooting would paralyze the state/country it happened in for years(and clearly it doesn't). it took the world only a decade to forget the atrocities of the world war. 9/11 is a joke to most people now and mostly written off as a one-off.

> Tesla also doesn't say that it's safe to let the car drive. There are ample warnings and messages and feedback that say that you have to keep your eyes on the road and hands on the wheel at all times.

Tesla had to be "encouraged" to say that "at all times" was in fact an amount less than "every 15 minutes", which it was just a couple of years ago, touch the steering wheel four times an hour.

> In a free market, you'd also have choice via competition to drive that price down

Not really though. Like, if I am having a heart attack the correct answer to "Which hospital do I go to?" is always going to be "The closest one equipped to handle it". Well technically the one I get can to the fastest that can handle it but you see my point.

This kind of choice via competition would work for things like optometrists and GPs (assuming you live in an area with more than one general practice) but just plain doesn't for emergencies.
The immune system kicking into gear.

Keep in mind the immune system is one of the most complex signalling systems in the body. You can trigger it in different ways and get different responses.
Presumably some or many ufo sightings are highly classified military tests that any random military pilot or radar operator is not ever going know about or even be told about after they sighted it.

Its even possible tests are done knowing other military pilots are in vicinity to guage their reaction to it.

To me this is the simplest explanation (if weather balloons and drones are ruled out).

I have met so many people telling me what their house it worth, getting euro sings in their eyes! But your next house is also more expensive and your kids' house even more so!

In similar vain I have friends who cried after the 2008 crash that they had to use all their savings to pay for what they lost in value and then happily moving into a house bought from people that lost even more, in other words, a house they couldn't even afford before the crisis. And they are lucky too because they don't pay interest over the savings they were forced to spend. But somehow people don't see it it seems.

It's a trap.

> The metric for success should be not "did this person ultimately avoid dying" but "did this person find a way to keep living without being in misery?"

I would agree with your metric for success. You're absolutely correct that the former (by itself) isn't sufficient. My point is that it's hard to accomplish the latter (sp?) without first accomplishing the former.

> On the flip side, I seem to remember one woman who noted a paradox that sometimes when people are treated and start to feel better, that's when they find the motivation to actually carry out a suicide plan.

I'd be interested to see how many people who have contemplated suicide fall into the category you describe, as a percentage of the total group. I'd hope (perhaps a bit optimistically?) that they are in the minority. But I don't have data to make any claims one way or the other.

> "Happy and Healthy Foods Here. Sorry we are on the phone at the moment. We estimate a wait time of 3 minutes. Please hold on, or press 1 to leave us a message."

You could even tighten that up a little more, depending on the politeness manner callers expect (e.g., maybe callers expect you to be all-business, and appreciate concise over apology).

And there should be something in every corporate charter that says any voice response system will never say two things that most organizations I phone always say: "Please listen carefully, as our menu items have recently changed", and "We're experiencing unusually high call volumes".

Nor do periodic jolting interruption of on-hold music, interrupting whatever you were thinking as you waited, making you think someone might be picking up, so you have to be ready to speak on-task, but then it says "Your call is important to us. Please remain on the line for the next available representative."

(Please. I and many others absolutely hate calling under even the best of conditions, and we wouldn't do it unless it was necessary. Don't try to get us to hang up, and don't make it more frustrating than it has to be.)
> they do acknowledge it.

Where has Tesla acknowledged phantom braking as a persistent issue? It has been around since 2016.

Looks like the video was taken a month ago. The driver had the version of software that Tesla gave him. Drivers can't choose which software version they get, so if it was old, that's on Tesla, not the driver.

The argument is the US system is more extreme. In the US those 2-3 Scandinavian millionaires would be worth 4 times what they are worth there. But then again some of your friends living middle class there would be poor and housing insecure.
Too bad I only own it after paying massive interest for 30 years that is adjusted every 10 years (or unreasonably high). A house costs you a large part of your income for 30 years now and somehow people fail to see this as debt, they just accept it and hope their house grows even faster in value than the others.
> Second is when people move on "paper" to benefit from another jurisdiction but don't physically move in reality. Thus they continue to benefit from the society they nominally "left" but don't pay into it.

I have 200 billion row mysql dbs and have measured the impact of the UUID and ULID keys its forced to deal with. In my high-insert-rate scenarios the extra bytes of these long keys equates to losing about 2000 inserts/sec, just in all the network overhead, compared to if we'd had a 64-bit auto-inc. And then, for storage, I'm using tokudb (when you have tables this big there really isn't any other viable alternative, although myrocks is newer and I haven't evaluated it). Tokudb compresses things really well, and the result is in the tens of terabytes compressed. And the problem with UUIDs and the random part of ULIDs? They are, by definition, uncompressible! Again a lot of that storage footprint is because of the damn things.
has_secure_password is built in, and works as long as you include the bcrypt gem in your Gemfile. I've never found Devise or any other 'off the shelf' solution to be satisfying for me because authentication seems to vary just enough between projects to make it easier to use has_secure_password and rewrite auth from scratch.

Personally, I think it would be cool if someone built an user account/authentication experience as a generator (along the lines of Rails scaffolds), so that you could see all of the generated code and modify it without having to get elbow-deep into the bowels of what I find to be an overly-abstract gem.

I am a mix.

Sometimes the profit motive and market dynamics work against what are civilized, just and humane outcomes. The incentives run in conflict with ethics and morality. (In general)

Health care, at least primary care, is an easy example. Fire, police, etc. Are others.

Socializing these things makes great sense. Our poor outcomes and insane cost and citizen risk exposure stand easily in support of those ideas being strong.

Things like utilities, water, power, vary. I have seen excellent private examples and where I live, public examples are working well. There are poor examples all over the place. More work and better priorities are needed, IMHO.

I favor public infrastructure too. The Interstate highway project served us well. That model applied to the needs of today would pay us again, just as nicely.

Markets are awesome! Where we do not have those conflicts, we should use them.

Where it is a luxury, light regulation makes sense.

Where it is more necessary, or there are clear risks, incentives or problems with competition, more regulation makes sense.

I do not like big monopolies, sans strong regulation. Rent seeking and low value for high dollars do not make sense.

There you go. A rough lay of the land, from one tech minded persons POV.

Affordable housing is code for unaffordable housing. Otherwise it'd just be housing. You're very correct it's on a spectrum—we're between being entirely homeless and entirely housed. Only one end of that spectrum is acceptable. Housing should be free to use (obviously not free to build and maintain). Everyone needs it, and we all have incentive to reduce costs—except landlords.
I think your lifestyle and your barber's lifestyle aren't necessarily a good match. Also, a good barber is a friendly barber (one who gets work) and in all my life experience you can walk into any hair salon/barber and make an appointment and the person working will take a moment to help you. It's not like a dental surgery where the doctor can't be interrupted in the middle of a root canal!

> First, so few people are able to move;

Let me tell you a little story. In 2013, Croatia had some 350,000 unemployed. In a country of about 4 million people, that is a lot. Today, we have the lowest unemployment rate in the EU. What happened?

Many of those people (and even some that were employed) left for Germany and Ireland. It's gotten to the point that the government has increased non-EU worker quotas in order to plug the hole - despite being part of the EU and having access to its huge labor market!

So, as you can see, at least in the EU, people can and do move.

What does this have to do with taxes? Germany does not have a problem with tens or even hundreds of thousands of skilled migrants emigrating to fuel its economy. But God forbid that some billionaire decides to leave Germany for Malta - that's an atrocity and a EU-wide problem that MUST be solved. Despite the fact that the EU is based on the free movement of labor, goods AND capital.

I think that in the future, more and more people are going to be voting with their feet - and not just the rich. Between gerrymandering, vote buying, corporate lobbying, vocal minorities, apathetic voters and defective electoral systems (first past the post/two party systems) many have lost faith in democracy.
How our brain generates consciousness; and loses it
Yeah. I thought it was a problem on my end (new OS installed!). It certainly would've been better if there was some kind of video in the first few minutes, rather than just a gray screen!
this all depends on the countrys laws. in germany you can't be evicted even if you fail to pay your rent. the landlord has to go through a lot of effort before they can kick you out.

also, the landlord has NO right to enter the property unless there is an emergency, and even then they may have to break the lock to do it because the lock may be changed, and the landlord may not have any keys.

we also did replace windows in one place we lived, and completely rewired the electricity (which included putting new pipes into the walls to hold the wires). it was an old building, and the change was made in consultation with the landlord, but there is no reason it can't be done.

apart from that any change that doesn't change the structure and stability of the house is possible, and any change that an easily be reversed in most cases doesn't even need permission of the landlord.

in another apartment we added a hardwood floor on top of the floor that was there. a sheet of foam and the hardwood on top. for the first room we paid a contractor, for the others we did it ourselves.

if my pension is not enough the government will chip in with housing allowance to make sure i can pay my rent. at worst they will ask me to move into a smaller home if i happen to occupy a place large enough for all my kids who have long moved out and no longer need the space.

i won't be living on the street and i enjoy the freedom to move whenever i like without being tied to a particular location.

also, being a landlord and renting out your property in germany is so onerous that it's not worth it unless you are doing it as a full time business.

that adds a further point in favor of renting because you can't just buy a property and rent it out without putting a major effort into maintenance and paying for upkeep.

finally, as long as you own property you generally don't qualify for financial support, should you ever need it

it's all a matter of perspective.
Tesla's blog post: https://www.tesla.com/en_GB/blog/update-last-week’s-accident

the driver’s hands were not detected on the wheel for six seconds prior to the collision. The driver had about five seconds and 150 meters of unobstructed view of the concrete divider

Looks like sensors failed to see concrete divider in nice sunny weather and car slammed in to it at 70mph. Driver was obviously over confident on system's ability to self-drive, probably busy looking at phone and ignored warnings to put his hands on steering.

In the US, there is one automotive fatality every 86 million miles across all vehicles from all manufacturers. For Tesla, there is one fatality, including known pedestrian fatalities, every 320 million miles in vehicles equipped with Autopilot hardware. If you are driving a Tesla equipped with Autopilot hardware, you are 3.7 times less likely to be involved in a fatal accident.

These stats don't help when you read the guy had two kids who will now grow up fatherless for rest of their lives. Humans killing humans is very different thing than machines killing humans even if the fatality rates are 10X lower. Companies need to aggressively enforce, both hands on steering until self-driving is really really really good.
This seems cultural, and before the invention of privacy this was the norm.

EDIT: I thought that was a meme and it's not—i'm referring to the growth of the middle class and multi-room houses.
