This is a bit of a false narrative. 99% of healthcare is not emergency room, imminent bleeding out.

Fine, it is a "dramatic illustration" but for even ordinary, ongoing medicine, the average consumer isn't in a position to evaluate the choices involved, there a natural advantage whatever health care provider is in the area, necessary regulation create severe barriers to entry and so-forth.
Whenever this debate comes up I substitute basic medical care with basic food or shelter. We don't have insurance for those, but we do have insurance for rare and expensive things related to them, like house fires, and disability insurance so we can still buy food if we can't work. Certainly those types of insurance should be available, heck even government provided if we want, for rare and emergency medical care. But we don't buy Kaiser or Aetna food insurance. Employers (mostly) don't provide housing. Why does medical care have to work this way?

Similarly, we don't have socialized single-payer food or housing (though countries have tried that). Why do we think that is the only solution for better medical care in America?

There was a story recently about how "83% of US teens have an iPhone, Android 9%" - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19610357

So, they're certainly a monopoly in that market today and possibly in the general market in the near future. I have also read that you don't even need to have a higher than 50% market share to be considered a monopoly. You simply need to affect the entire market, which Apple certainly does with their 45% general market share in the US.

Yeah, the great thing about an O'Neill Cylinder is that the sooner people can move there, the sooner they can leave the Earth well enough alone. (Although in reality, I think the real challenge is going to be responsible stewardship of the Earth, not just "leaving it alone". Even the Amazon rainforest is likely an artifact of human culture.)

>The thing is, health care is "natural monopoly", it's a situation where competition is meaningless at the point when a person shows up bleed at the emergency room

Your natural monopoly claim is incorrect. People have choices as to where they get their healthcare, at least in the US. You can always claim a monopoly if you make the criteria strict enough but obviously in the US today people have a great deal of choice as to which healthcare providers they use. Even in an emergency (at least in larger metro areas) ambulances actually have choices as to which hospital they take the patient.

>The thing about employer-funded healthcare after WWII is that for a few decades, that health care was restricted to the Blue Cross/Blueso Shield monopoly [1]

You link to a wikipedia article which says

The rendering itself isn't that large of a task and it'd all be done on the POS which has more than enough power to draw a couple circles. There's very little processing done on a thermal printer basically it's just decoding and drawing exactly what the source system tells it to. At most I'd expect it to add a second or two for the POS to do the calculations and send it to the printer.

With dual class shares lacking accountability and leading to corruption among founders, founders and investors clashing over dual class or multi class shares, and allowing a sense of corporate loyalty to appear among founders who run companies with dual class shares, I do see a good sense of demand for tenure voting. With increasing calls for banning dual class shares and the scandals at Facebook and Google shining light on the dictatorship held companies by founders, we will see regulators and many retail and institutional investors become aware of dual class shares and either regulate or ban them. So tenure voting is the best way to go!

I think that tenure voting is the next step forward and it is a good way to attract an alignment between investors and founders as well as employees since they get incentivized with more votes for holding a stock long term. We've seen this work really well in France especially with companies like LVMH that investors are patient towards due to this tenure voting incentive.

But like how dual class stock caught on with startups starting with Google and Facebook, can we see the same for tenure voting if there are hot startups in the future with this structure?

Will LTSE allow dual class or multi class share structures or only tenure voting among companies wanting to list on the exchange?

Also will all sorts of companies be able to do this or will LTSE only be open to tech companies?
Thanks for the story, that is indeed interesting. I've noticed exactly the same thing on YouTube actually. I watched a Dennis Prager video to see why he was being threatened with banning. The video itself seemed fine, but afterward all my recommended videos are "person x gets DESTROYED by Ben Shapiro". I have never clicked on one afaik.

I do wonder if these are different problems tho. One could make a good case that they aren't, but I tend to think of search results as more neutral whereas video recommendations would be highly personalized. If I use the YouTube search box I'd expect similar results to everyone. But my expectations are based on nothing except my personal subjective sense of the way things ought to be.
This is what's terrible about being a lifetime appointment. Once a politicial driven justice gets appointed there's literally nothing that will change them.

Perhaps in the "old" days when Justices had the feelings you're attributing it might be true but now in the current political situation ideologues are who are sought out to appoint and they care only they're well regarded by their own political persuasion.

This is Ford suing someone for, essentially, trying to break their DRM. While I don't agree with the practice, it's Silicon Valley 101. I guess the ICE dinosaurs can learn new tricks after all?

But I don't see how it relates requiring "incredibly expensive computers" as the original comment stated, nor do is it unique in any way to Ford. I can only speak from personal experience, but I've owned a ton of cars from all makes and models, and my Fords have been average or better when it comes to repair frequency/cost. I'm sure it's partially a byproduct of the vehicles being relatively "plain".
Really? My perspective is that I use Uber as a substitute good for owning a car. If the cost of uber > car, I'm gonna go and buy one. So they can raise prices, but likely there's quite a bit of price sensitivity, particularly from their high volume users.
Using emergency services for the core of your argument is a strawman, as vastly more medical services are non-emergency or life threatening.

Also, in the US, Kaiser is an innovation. Comparing a voluntary, private organization to a forced, tax-funded system is a false comparison.
If you're strictly asking about things a self-taught hobbyist programmer may have missed, then I second the suggestions here to skim through a CS degree curriculum and dig into anything that's unfamiliar. As one possible example, maybe you're solving a problem trying to parse some text, and you're in over your head with ad-hoc regexes and conditionals and type casts and exceptions all over the place. If you've seen the concept of a grammar (likely to come up in CS programs, though not all) and of generating parsers / validators for them, you can eliminate a whole lot of programming by specifying a grammar in some common format (for instance, ABNF) and running it through a program that generates a parsing program for you. The general category of programs writing programs is worthwhile to look into, and playing with languages where such a feature is first-class (like Common Lisp, which apart from having macros also has a compile-file function you can invoke at runtime) can be enlightening.

A lot of the comments here are highlighting things that not even most CS degree holders will know about, nor many professional programmers. Those can be useful for a hobbyist too, so maybe the lesson is that regardless of your current level of knowledge it's important to keep in mind: "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy."

Your comment about feeling comfortable in the practical details reminded me of how I used to feel as a fresh self-taught PHP-wielding teenager after a few years of it. As an "expert" PHP coder, I could do anything! Even an OS if I wanted! Well I learned better eventually. :)

If everyone became enlighted simultaneously, we would probably help each other out, but it would cause a huge disruption in the global economy. Part of that economy is food, and it takes a while to grow a new crop... basically breaking supply chains can cause mass starvations, that's all.

> It's fascinating how neatly being politically conservative or progressive lines up with the corresponding architectural view

Only it's really not that neat. When the brutalist monstrosities (you may correctly infer I don't like most of them one bit, though I do like much modernism) were being designed and built post-war, brutalism particularly was embraced as enthusiastically on all parts of the political spectrum. The mood was to build a "better world" and to borrow a cliche, embrace the "white heat of technology". Futurism, science, nuclear and modernism - including brutalism - was good. End of. Many fine examples of classic architecture were levelled, like the oft mourned Penn station, to put in an awesome, imposing brutalist slab that was looking tired and shabby within a decade. I'm sure the comparative cheapness and quickness of build won more fans in one part of the political map though.

As people started to live in them, use them, and live around them, it very rapidly became clear that brutalism - like much post-war architecture - didn't give a toss about humans. That was the real exciting new development in post-war architecture. The vision was inspiring, the reality was counter-productive in so many cases, as the scale or the amount of extra walking required wrecked the reality. They may have been impressive to look at, but so frequently fail to work as a building, or for people.

There are a few brutalist that work, and far more considered modernist, but in the main I call the brutalist experiment failed for those who have to use, inhabit or visit them. The ones that really work, seem to have one common feature - they remember the humans - you know, those things that use buildings? :)

By not playing for the new harvester.
It’s already easy enough now however it doesn’t work in reality.

It doesn’t scale due to limits.

And it doesn’t work as easily as credit cards as you will have to go trough the Apple Pay merchant KYC process for these to be billable which means you will have to verify your business.

Credit card skimming works because the stolen details can be used anywhere in the world and the cash is pretty much immediately transferred.

They can also be used to buy physical goods which can then be resold.

You can’t do the same with NFC tags.
Yes, the situation we have now sucks. But that's where we should start questioning. Is all the regulation we have necessary? Why aren't average consumers in a position to evaluate the choices, just like we do for food (admittedly, we aren't doing the best job at choosing the best foods, but we like our freedom of choice, and the information and options are there)?
We have way more work than we have time for (or the budget to hire that many more developers). If automation allowed each of us to do 3x more work, it probably still wouldn't be enough.
First, it's unlikely that an influx of new patients due to opening networks and increasing coverage would lead to doctors dropping existing patients. On what grounds would that happen?

Second, you're at best arguing that we shouldn't go to a fair system of rationing because it would hurt the beneficiaries of an unfair system of rationing.

And to take this sideways... my favorite health care model is the Japanese system. It's actually quite similar to the American system (private employer-provided insurance, private providers), but with one key difference... a government commission fixes the prices for all medical goods and services. No more negotiating between providers and insurers. So no "networks".

It leads directly to the situation you described. It also leads to costing half as much as the US, for universal coverage and better outcomes. I'll take that trade, thank you.

It’s weird because the US does have socialized food options (SNAP/food stamps), socialized housing - albeit limited (shelters, BMR housing), clothing I’m not sure. It also has socialized medicine for the old which everyone loves, but if it’s so great once you turn 65 why does it suddenly stop working when you’re 64? 60? 50? 20? It doesn’t. It works great. It controls costs better, it’s more efficient and doesn’t leave anyone out.
Those who fear "socialized medicine" often fail to recognize just how socialist our system already is.
Uber CEO Warns in Staff Email 'Tough Public Market' Could Last Months
Disagree, I look at my grocery shopping receipt every time to look where I spent more than expected and I love the look of this, would even pay a couple pennies extra to have it.
Can you suggest some good ones? From what I've seen in math texts, good books usually deal with one area (e.g. introductory real analysis) instead of covering multiple topics.
Uber has their own infrastructure and don't use AWS. Amazon has already tried an Eats replica in 'Restaurants' and delivery with Flex and both have been scaled down after not succeeding.

It entirely depends on how many of them you build. You could also achieve much higher densities than Earth with no real loss of quality of life, since you wouldn't necessarily build massive oceans or deserts or mountains. (Though I would really love to live on an O'Neill cylinder that was laid out as an archipelago!)
I love it and want it!
I still totally disagree with your narrative. There is no natural monopoly in health care. New hospitals continue to be built all the time. You can goto your CVS and see a doctor if you want. There are tons and tons of choices and competition.

>the average consumer isn't in a position to evaluate the choices involved

Why? Once again I completely disagree with this narrative as well.
But isn't it likely that their strike price is much, much lower than the current price? If so, it's probably not that bad if the stock is down even 20% when they are able to sell. Obviously it's better if the stock price is higher, but it's not like they're going to be selling at a loss.
> Silly me. Yes, totally mistook title 25 for 5

Your citation was not to "title 25," either. This was not a numerical mistake. You cited the regulatory code, rather than the statutory code. They are entirely different bodies of law.

> the point that most of the official offences are not a matter of title 18 (criminal code) stands

Yes. Another point that still stands is that you fundamentally misunderstand how important it is not to over-criminalize behavior of this type.

The surest sign that a regime is corrupt is that it imprisons those it claims are corrupt. See, e.g., https://www.scmp.com/news/china/article/1679489/xi-jinping-v...
> I’ve found that even trying to really study through books things like number theory, proofs, and integration takes huuuuge time investments.

Yep, that's how to do it if you want to do it well. Practice. There's a reason why these degrees take so long. I would advise against just about any online course where you only watch videos and get the feeling that you've learned something while in reality you retain close to nothing.
If you are going to run a farm successfully you need to take personal responsibility for everything that does or doesn't happen on your farm and that definitely applies to the paperwork you sign on your farm's behalf.

Furthermore, if you're in the commodity grain business you sign a lot of paperwork. You sign it for your hedging contracts, for your asset financing, for your farm insurance which often has a lot of detailed terms, etc. The idea that the farmers affected by the general issue of tractor software are neophytes when it comes to contracts strikes me as a misleading one.
Yeah, even if it had like a 1 in 10000 rate of nasty side effects, it would still be a lot less risky than the measles.
I'm not suggestion no regulation, rather less regulation. I'm not claiming I'm and expert. Can you maybe please argue the point, rather than resorting to insult.
Not really because the Apple Pay KYC process as well as the restrictions that can be put into place would make this attack non viable.

If I skim your card in Chicago I can bill $2000 in a “coffee place” in Manila.

The same doesn’t work with NFC tags which not only can and likely will be geofenced but there’s no details to skim and the payment goes through Apple Pay not the credit card network which anyone can access.
And further you needn’t scale it beyond 30 million if you leave it to each state to build a system that meets federal minimum requirements, which is what Canada does.

I'm amazed that no one the liberal side of single payer has made this argument: single payer would help create more small businesses.

I can think of one upside: it does make your keys more distinct. I can tell at a glance that /pets/12345 is a different category of entity from /people/98765. That could aid in debugging. It's a bit like a type system.

And of course since it is a type system, it now means you've got yet another type system to deal with in your universe. One with unknown and inconsistent semantics, and no natural support built in. Conceivably those semantics could be added and software built to support it, but rolling your own is going go yield a lot of effort with much less benefit.
