I feel like these are two vastly different questions though, whether, on the one hand, society should let people who cannot afford healthcare die, and on the other hand, whether society should allow people to choose how their dollars are spent in a way that may lead to bad healthcare outcomes (like dying from something that's preventable given enough dollars). In your quote, they seem to explicity mention that the person can afford insurance but chooses not to buy it.

I mean, we don't make it illegal for people to do a ton of extreme sports where they might die. I don't see much of a difference between, say, climbing Mount Everest and a healthy, wealthy person deciding to spend thousands of dollars on something other than health insurance, knowing that they might not be able to pay the piper. Both are instances of someone choosing current enjoyment and weighing it against the chance of a life-threatening outcome.

The real problem seems to be when people have no choice. Of course everyone wants to not die, and of course no one wants to pay for healthcare, but we can't have both, so we have to find a middle ground that involves preventing deaths and paying for healthcare, and it doesn't seem horribly immoral to me to allow people to make the choice to trade their future health for money now (or enjoyment, in the case of mountain climbing or sky diving or whatever). Once again, the problem lies in the lack of choice from the get go.

PayPay calls it "frozen" because that is the term that actual regulated banks use when they temporarily deny access to an account because of a government order or a fraud investigation.

It is to PayPal's benefit to use terminology that makes them look like a bank.
I use an Android app called Squid[1] for drawing and taking notes on my Pixelbook with the pencil. It is technically an android app, but it's easy to forget that because it just runs so perfectly and it's optimized for tablets and large screens. Same experience with apps like Todoist and a few mobile games I play. It really is a wonderful and seamless experience.

> In any event, electricity in Germany is far from CO2 neutral, so the claim of "drastic reduction in CO2" with these vehicles just doesn't fly.

My earlier comment was a specific criticism of how the linked study doesn't apply to this thread. This claim you've just made, however, is different and broader - and disclaimed in an article here [1], and discussed on HN here [2]. I could get into a demonstrative calculation of how a solely coal-powered electric car is still better than the US-average ICE car in terms of CO2-per-km, but that's been done before [3].

I love it when people try to explain tax law to me like I don't know what I'm talking about...

Employees are taxed on stock twice. Once, when it is income to them upon vesting options to purchase stock in the black or upon election (i.e., 83b) or (more rarely) when actual stock is receive as compensation for employment, and again when it the actual stock (or more rarely, options) is sold for capital gains. I refer specifically to the sale of the stock, not the execution of the options to acquire stock.

If the exercise of options and their subsequent sale are executed jointly and for the same price, the sale part of the joint transaction doesn't trigger its own set of taxable cap gains. But if, for example, options are exercised for $10 when the stock is worth $15 and the stock is sold for $25, the employee must pay tax on the $5 gains from the exercise and on the $10 gains from the sale.

It seems that we are finally at the point where throwing more hardware/data at a dumb algorithm won't give you much better results. This means that there will be space for smarts at AI again. And this is happening at the same time that throwing more money on general purpose hardware is stopping generating good results too, with great opportunities for synergy.

> The field will advance when/if practitioners recognize that classifying pixel patterns in isolation isn't sufficient for robust visual perception

But this, well, it is very clearly sufficient, and we have well accepted results showing this. It just won't work on practice. That probably means the change will be full of fighting while the old ways still work, and lots of failures and unexpected successes.

>Freedom of association is an important right. Generally companies (and individuals!) should be free to choose who they do business with.

They are, but we are free to be mad at them when they do this in assine ways, as we are free to also decide not to associate with businesses that excessively invoke their freedom of association, for either reliability reasons (businesses that cut ties over ever changing reasons are not a reliable company to do business with) , or ideological ones (we don't like why they are invoking the right).
I’m pretty sure banks and credit card institutions, aka those paying, regulate what their services can be used for. So it isn’t strictly PayPal.

PayPal just needs to be more clear/transparent about that.
One downside of reference counting is the long delete delay you get when you remove the last reference to a large data structure. That's pretty easy to fix, but then you lose deterministic destructors.
Well, unless said product excludes south asians, africans or, well.. me.. and it's a thin end of a wedge. A pro hispanic app may be a force for good (or not) but the next week you can make a gold plated bet that the best offers would be focused on folks with blue eyes and golden hair.

Offering a product is appropriate; excluding people from using it is wrong.
That assumes:

1. The whistleblower are always right and the company is always wrong. I've seen it go both ways. On an engineering project, a junior engineer misinterprets something, and then starts sending upset, angry emails with odd allegation. If there is any litigation about anything later, if those emails come up in discovery, you've got a multimillion dollar problem.

2. The company won't retaliate otherwise. In whistleblowing instances I've seen, the company engages in a smear campaign on the engineer. Having a billion dollar corporation hire a PI to investigate you, and then spread rumours about you to the media can kill a career. Is Julian Assange a sexual predator? Or was he set up? No one knows.

Learn to do something that you like better (and that pays better). That could be an enormous number of things. Without you telling us more, it's hard for us to say more.

You sound like you think CS might be the direction. You can start exploring that direction, to see if you have any talent and interest in that area. It might be a good second step. (I think the first step is to take an honest look at what you like, and what you're good at.)

I use transactional DDL in my tests. All the tables, triggers, etc. are set up inside a transaction, and then the actual tests run inside nested transactions. At the end of the test run, the outer transaction gets rolled back, and everything disappears.

I don't know if it accomplishes anything truly new (other than ideas that aren't very useful in practice like being able to have multiple test runs going in parallel), but it's a pretty neat way to be able to do it and works well.

This has been the big difference for me of using a Chromebook+Crostini vs installing Linux on a typical PC. The battery life on the chromebook just lasts forever and is buttery smooth out of the box while the laptops with linux installed have always had markedly worse battery life than when running their intended OS in my experience.
I agree that they it shouldn't be used if it's possible to mix them up (crypto shouldn't be used to mean cryptography either if it's possible to mix it up with cryptocurrencies). This was not such an instance.

The English language is ever changing, we re-purpose and come up with new words all the time. In daily use "cryptocurrencies" is long to type and say, so when the context is clear it's easier to just use "crypto".

Note: I actually try to use "cryptocurrencies" too.

Principa is almost impossible to read by modern standards, and the information it contains is explained far better elsewhere (after all there has been a lot of time for improvements in our understanding.) Studying historical physics texts is educative in the sense that it literally teaches you facts ("this person believed this thing on this date") but it's not the best way to learn the physics. Like I said, history of physics is usually taken up as a pastime by physicists who already know the physics. It is an enjoyable thing that is valuable on its own.

Every physics professor knows about Principa, and they know where to find Maxwell's original papers, and so on, and there's a good reason why that's not how they teach.
In my first hand experience:

- Working hardware and driver stack - including HW video decoding/encoding and graphics acceleration (there are laptops that work with Linux well, but even the verified ones can be hit and miss at times - e.g. wierd Dell XPS issues with USB-C).

- Very good support for high-res retina screens (Linux is getting there but font rendering is still better on CrOS).

- Reliability - it's really hard to break a ChromeOS device (software-wise). It can almost always just be powerwashed and your next login completely restores it back to how you remember it. Don't underestimate this for less developer use-cases.

The last point is especially useful for schools and companies- having laptops which you can easily replace within minutes is very useful for many employees. Especially since CrOS comes with good enterprise management suite.
It's true that the Church supported science but there are plenty of examples where it didn't like the results and tried to bury them.

The EFF has a good page on CDA 230 here [0]. The relevant court cases are the 1991 case 'Cubby, Inc. v. CompuServe, Inc' [1] and 1995's 'Stratton Oakmont, Inc. v. Prodigy Servs. Co.' [2]. In 'Cubby', CompuServe was found to have no liability for content hosted on their site as they did no moderation themselves, had no knowledge of specific content on their site, and were thus not a publisher. In 'Prodigy', Prodigy Services was found to have liability as their moderation practices were judged to make them the publisher of the content.

CDA 230 was the legislative response to this, allowing companies to not assume liability for moderating content.

My Response to Chris Hughes
This sounds like early 20th century capitalism... I don't think it's very applicable to the current programming industry, where companies have to fight to retain good employees. Also, the top-down structure is no longer preserved within the Agile's "self-organizing teams". So in this landscape I think it's very reasonable to take seriously what programmers think about the given internal software.
Would be great if this included real world data or application to understand context.

This is actually one of the most fascinating things.

I’ve often thought that smartphones and other devices are in part powerful because they allow us to sort of frack our attention and draw out benefit from all the rounding errors and schedule gaps. Even if you’re just looking at memes in the supermarket queue, you are in some sense doing a form of work in a context where you otherwise would not be. (What work? Often: politics, group affinity reinforcement, subcultural literacy improvement, etc.)

Pervasiveness and gameification allow our devices to, as it were, chew and swallow our daydreams.

This is not the situation I was discussing.

My scenario:
Founder X has stock. Whether received as stock or converted from options is irrelevant. Founder X, while living in CA, begins talks with Buyer B to buy his stock. Before the sale is signed (or possible even before it is papered), X moves to NV which has no income tax. CA will still tax X on the sale of his stock to B.

You guys are all discussing the initial exercise of stock options, which is way before the situation I am discussing. But to discuss your specific scenario: if there was no agreement to sell (or pending agreement) before leaving CA for TX, CA would not be able to tax you on that sale of the $40 stock if you had established TX residency by the time of that sale.

I think the differences will be stark and obvious to those who remember the world pre-convergence. But a new generation will not know the differences, nor will they care.

For my parents' generation, TVs were a big deal. For me, I can hardly distinguish between a TV and a Radio and a Microwave and a Washer/Dryer -- they all have existed as long as I remember. But I can definitely tell the difference between an app written against User32/GDI/WinForms/VB versus one that uses the Android toolkit versus one in GTK+.

There's been a lot of work over the years to make most applications agnostic to the underlying toolkit and OS, including React Native, Flutter, Unity, Adobe Animate (formerly Macromedia Flash), and so forth.
Exactly.

Unsurprisingly, there's even a few hacks out there for upgrading old C64s with newer/better components, too, if you want to get another couple decades out of it. There's even new manufacture C64-compatible enthusiast boards being produced [1], although I believe you may have to supply your own SID chip. The latter doesn't count much for this topic, but it illustrates there's some interest. Further, the parts that are likely to break over time are fairly trivial for someone with soldering skills to replace. I know of at least a couple people who preemptively replaced capacitors on old C64s they bought and refurbished.

Of course there is correctness for design!

When reviewing a design, the first thing to verify is if it can satisfy its input requirements. In your example, a design that has to satisfy a safety requirement but doesn't is not correct and must be rejected.

>Instead, the MCAS system was poorly designed because of financial pressure to maintain the fiction of a single 737 type rating.

OK but how do we know, how is it demonstrated, that this financial pressure condition has now been mitigated? What is the exact nature of the "fix"? And actually what are all of the closed door conversations, back then and now, about the various possible behaviors for this software routine? How is it they came up with that one? How is it they come up with the new one? And really, why is the first one wrong (aside from the fact there are a bunch of dead people, which is a consequence of the original error)?

And which parts of the design? There are many parts to it. Not all of them are as bad as others.

As a pilot I find it impossible to imagine a closed door room with engineers not computing, let alone not imagining, the potential for this particular failure mode. And if a pilot were present in that closed door session, I find it impossible they would not immediately be bothered by the potential for mistrim at low altitude that would result in too scary a probability of unrecoverability.

It makes me wonder if pilots were even involved at that level of the design and decision making for the feature.
I certainly don't think missing software is the problem for disaster recovery, but there's something to be said for the idea that disaster recovery is missing from software instead.

Two examples that come to mind: Facebook developing their "check in as safe" feature for disasters, and Uber adding one-sided surge pricing so that they can respond to post-disaster demand without raising prices. Uber's move was mostly about fixing a prior oversight, but Facebook's has provided some fairly novel benefit. Basic mobile internet is both more widely available and more disaster-proof than other communications, so it's a welcome improvement on "people flood the phone system trying to call loved ones".

That said, the biggest opportunities here seem to be in disaster-awareness from developers of existing software. IBM's pitch of "come create novel software for disaster response" looks rather less convincing.

I understand that you are taxed twice, at vest and at sale. My understanding was that the "California gets taxes no matter where you live" applies to the vest (which is taxed as ordinary income), not the sale (which is taxed as capital gains).

Your other comments suggest you were talking about a very specific situation, where you started negotiating to sell stock, then moved, then the sale closed. If so, then I'm not sure how exactly it gets treated so happy to defer to you, but that doesn't seem at all like what is being discussed in the article.
