Because HHS / CMS negotiates all of these rates I think it might be hard for voters to draw a path between rates / expenditures and their care, for the same reasons they fail to draw a line between their current insurer's negotiated rates and cost of care. A single negotiator will likely only make pricing more opaque, rather than less, so there will not be a strong incentive to perform better at the HHS level without transparency. Further, if Medicare for all is biased toward removing private plan competition there will be no incentive whatever for Medicare to be more efficient. Rate issues can be easily blamed on the providers.

I feel like we're starting to see the limits of single platforms. Once upon a time, the technology YouTube built was sufficiently core to their business that no one else could compete without also building their own video pipeline for UGC. Today, that's commodity, and we're also learning there isn't a one-size-fits-all approach to community. The problem described here is a benefit for someone in their situation. It isn't always helpful in every context.

It makes me wonder if the next evolution of products are around focused communities instead of monolithic platforms.

You're right - in my experience, most programmers have it pretty good.

What I've noticed is that stress/overworking comes when the team is pressured for time. As a mental, as opposed to physical laborer, sometimes less is more, and sometimes that means leaving an hour early just to figure out the solution to your problems on the drive home.

Managers who think "butts in seats, hands on keyboards" equals "more productivity" can't effectively manage programmers.
From the article:

"Most satisfied: Those with science, technology, engineering and math majors, who are typically more likely to enjoy higher salaries, reported more satisfaction with their college degrees. About 42% of engineering grads and 35% of computer science grads said they had no regrets.

Most regrets: Humanities majors, who are least likely to earn higher pay post-graduation, were most likely to regret their college education. About 75% of humanities majors said they regretted their college education. About 73% of graduates who studied social sciences, physical and life sciences, and art also said the same. "

The Validators
Who, then, are the validators? Well, Facebook is one, but only one: currently there are 28 “Founding Members”, including merchants, venture capitalists, and payment networks, that meet two of the following three criteria:

More than $1 billion USD in market value or more than $500 million USD in customer cash flow
Reach more than 20 million people a year
Recognition as a top-100 industry leader by a third-party association such as Fortune or S&P
These “Founding Members” are required to make a minimum investment of $10 million and provide computing power to the network. In addition, there are separate requirements for non-profit organizations and academic institutions that rely on a mixture of budget, track record, and rankings; a minimum investment may not be necessary. Libra intends to have 100 Founding Members by the time it launches next year.

But all the dragging around boxes and connections can become irksome, not to mention the energy spent aligning stuff and trying to prevent the (inevitable) dish of spaghetti that you get above a small level of complexity. Other general advantages of text: faster editing (leverage the features of the IDE, keyboard vs mouse, etc.), easier to organize and comment code, generally easier to debug, version control, and some languages are much more flexible and powerful than anything graphical. See Supercollider, and its clients using various general purpose languages, csound, Faust, and many others.

The network itself has no name.

The network protocol has a name - Bitcoin.

The exchange ticker BTC is for the altered Bitcoin protocol now called Bitcoin Core or Segwit.

The exchange ticker BSV is for the restored (not fully restored yet) Bitcoin protocol.

The bottle browser and the whole Metanet can only run on the original Bitcoin protocol which is supported by the node software developed by nChain named Bitcoin SV.

Thanks! The CBS write-up is really, really awful – from the headline (about respondents regretting "their degrees" as opposed to having a mix of debt/topic/networking/institution/etc regrets) to the confusing prose descriptions of alternating "regret" or "no regrets" levels.

yup, you don't feel them biting. i pulled hundreds of ticks off of me and my dogs growing up. pull slowly but firmly from the base of the head, with fingernails if tweezers aren't handy. squeeze the body between (the backs of) your fingernails until they snap to finish them off (same for fleas). i don't really remember having issues with the mouth parts staying behind and irritating the skin, even though that was warned about too back then.

maybe I'm just unlucky, but the few times I've gone to best buy I looked up the price on Amazon first and then went to best buy expecting them to price match. every time they had a slightly different sku from the item on Amazon and charged significantly more money.

the sample is too small to say for sure, but I suspect they commission custom runs of things like flash drives that would be too cheap to profit off of if they were actually exposed to matching Amazon prices.
Except for an early hard fork due to a transaction verification bug that allowed for infinite Bitcoins to be created, the main Bitcoin chain, as implemented by the Bitcoin Core client, has never forked, to my knowledge. It also seems disingenuous to claim that it doesn't resemble the original protocol, when the block size cap that the forks adjust, was put into place by Satoshi himself.

This is all interesting but not responsive to GP comment. It is in fact quite plausible that lower costs for physicians could lead to more physicians and more price competition among physicians, even in USA.
Okay, so I started an MS (OMSCS) a couple years ago, and I had to relearn now to study. So I've gone through this process recently.

So far I've managed to get usually the top score or very close to the top on all my exams across 5 classes. In my most recent class I got the top score of 96 on an exam where the median was in the 60s.

All I do is take hand written notes (albeit digitally on an ipad) during lectures. Then before the exam, I review my notes. That's it! My recall with this approach has been great.

I admit though, having the lecture videos online is a massive help for this method. I watch at 1.5x and frequently pause it if I miss something, or re-watch a section if I didn't understand it the first time - then take my notes. I always had trouble with real-time lectures in my undergrad.
I'm sure Trump would pick great prices. The best prices.
This is absolutely standard for the home insurance industry, which is notorious for trying to use technicalities and legalistic excuses to avoid paying out.

It's essentially trading on fraud, dead centre in that grey area of contract law where your only hope of winning a case is court action with the help of top flight lawyers - whose services you can't afford.

Of course some companies are more reputable, but there is a huge - huge - spread of integrity within the industry. No one should ever believe that just because they pay $x/yr they're covered to the extent they hope they are without checking small print and doing plenty of searches for customer feedback.
> Yup - for me, each ascender of an "h" is a line of red pixels next to a line of blue, no actual black at any point.

Each of your pixels is made of a tiny red, green, and blue pixels. The 'black pixel' is the gap between the red and blue sub-pixels (the green being off is black.)

why did ticks multiply that much recently?

It's because of warmer winters and an exploding deer population. People need to take up hunting again to reduce the numbers of those tick motherships.

it probably is global warming but of course that actually means many many interacting effects. In no particular order

1. Different weather patterns caused by El Nino(warm pacific equatorial temperatures resulting in increased precipitation) along with similar weather patterns in other areas of the world. This is especially noticeable during the winter with increased snow fall providing denser snowpack and a more protected subnivean zone for one of ticks primary hosts, white footed and field mice. Warm weather in general also helps. Ticks are not greatly affected by cold weather but their hosts are and when there are more hosts, there are more ticks.

2. Increased temperatures has a complex affect on tick habitat. While a rise in temperature can increase forest biomass and increase growth rates of transitioning forest, it decreases biomass at the forest edge which is a place where low lying scrub grows the most and provides ideal "questing"[0] habitat for ticks. So that seems like wash but it's actually more complex even that that.

3. This one is more Anthropocene than specifically climate related. Many prime tick hosts have adapted well to human crowded space including deer, mice and small mammals. Their predators such as wolves, foxes, and birds of prey have not fared as well.

4. Related to 3 above, sprawl puts people in closer proximity to habitats once favored by tick hosts so there may be a factor where ticks are not increasing so much as human/tick interaction is.

Firstly, YouTube don't tend to support downloading videos as raw video files. So it wouldn't really make sense for YouTube to provide a signature when you're not really supposed to be able to access a video file in the first place.

This also wouldn't really work because a YouTube video isn't a single file. Videos are available in different qualities and formats. The video component tends to be separated from the audio component. If you want to combine them into a single file, you have to mux them. However, this process is not deterministic, so the resulting hash would differ depending on a multitude of factors.

I don't buy that argument about data liability. I would assume the Salesforce contract indemnifies them from any liability beyond what existing case-law requires. It would be down right negligent by our capitalistic standards for their legal department not to include as much responsibility shirking as they can possibly manage.

They may offer tools related to it but any flaw or issue that exposes your data is still your problem. Remember the trouble Amazon got into for all those data leaks over publicly visible S3 buckets? No? Why would they? Exactly.

In WA, there is a program where you can finish the last two years of high school at a community college and graduate with a two year degree for free. It was probably the best decision of my life. I basically got to trial and error all of my interests for free much earlier and cheaper than everyone else.

And it went against the guidance of my school counselors. They thought community college would hurt my chances at getting into "Prestigious Schools". They also knew tons of kids who screwed off the minute they were given an ounce of freedom (you know, kids who would have wasted money at college anyway).

Community college is the best. Everyone should do it. And it's actually designed for you to learn, not just get a degree. Take a year off, explore your interests, take an internship if you can. Then decide the degree you want to go for (if you actually want to at this point), and find an affordable place to do it.

Too many of my friends got suckered into "there's a school in Vermont that offers the exact program I want, and they are offering me an arbitrary discount on their huge out of state rates".
I also rankle at the "sell experiences" trend. It pegs my bogon detector from the moment I walk in until the instant I leave. If I want a memorable experience, it's not going to have a prominent, obvious cash register in it, thanks.

Having demonstration models in the store is a normal retail thing to do for selling the product in question, and does not need to be relabeled as an experience. Real experience-sellers already have their exit through their gift shop.

The advantages [New] Toys 'R' Us will probably have to leverage over Amazon will have to include lower per-unit shipping costs (in both time and money), in-person inspection and demonstration, search/discovery of well-curated product lines, no-hassle replacements with low-hassle returns, and counterfeits/defects protection. And it's still going to need website sales and some way for kids (who may be COPPA-aged) to browse the catalog, engage, and build up a wish list.

But in all likelihood, they'll probably just try throwing more money at brand marketing, rather than actually being better toy retailers. I shall be preemptively disappointed until my dearth of faith is invalidated.

> Just because I pay taxes in USD/EUR doesn't mean I can't store my cash in a fixed supply currency, and anyone who does this avoids inflation.

(Let's just use BTC and USD)

Let's say yesterday milk was $2/gallon. But overnight, USD hyperinflated 50% and now it's $3/gallon. Yesterday, I invested 2 USD in BTC. Unless I can convince someone to give me 3 USD for my BTC, I can't buy a gallon of milk.

No rational person will help you avoid inflation like this, because they'd be losing money. They would have to think that the BTC they get from you will appreciate. In other words, they have to speculate.

So the only thing that you do by storing your cash in a fixed supply currency is speculate, and the only way you "avoid inflation" is if your speculation outpaces inflation.

--This is exactly the same as every other investment.--

But there's a huge difference: speculating in BTC helps no one (actually, it almost certainly helps super awful criminals like drug cartels and human traffickers). Please don't do this. Please invest your money in businesses that need it, or in real estate to help build homes, or in any one of a million ways that actually fuel economic growth and have the potential to help a human being.
