Wow, just one look at the airfield was a massive hit of nostalgia. I crash landed a thousand times as a kid there. At 5 frames per second on my 286. Thank's for the link. Mayor Daley did not mess around with closing it down. From your link.

>In a controversial and illegal move on the night of Sunday, March 30, 2003, Mayor Daley ordered city crews to destroy the runway immediately by bulldozing large X-shaped gouges into the runway surface in the middle of the night.[14] The required demolition notice was not given to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) or the owners of airplanes tied down at the field, and as a result sixteen planes were left stranded at the airport with no operating runway, and an inbound flight had to be diverted by Air Traffic Control, because of equipment scattered on the runway.
You're using just such a site right now: HN runs fine without javascript -- except for voting, which I rarely do anyway.

Reddit runs fine without it (again with the exception of voting). Most news sites run fine or even better without javascript, as without it you're not subject to all the bloat that advertising heavy sites burden you with.

Recently there was some post on HN that linked to a Forbes article, and there were a bunch of complaints in the HN thread about how nightmarish the Forbes website was, with all the ads it foisted on the user. But in emacs-w3m, which does not understand javascript, the site was perfectly readable. There are plenty of other sites which implement anti-ad-blocking code via javascript which are completely bypassed by simply using a browser that doesn't run javascript.

Overall, I find that maybe 90% of the sites I visit run fine or well enough without javascript. Sometimes a website will have a legitimate need for the interaction or live updates that javascript facilitates (thout maybe some or all of that could be done via HTML 5.. I haven't done web development in decades, so I don't know, but I suspect it could), like finance sites which run stock tickers, or some art or games sites. I mostly don't use any of those, though, so very rarely run across a site I need that actually legitimately needs something like javascript.

Much more frequently I run in to sites that don't need javascript (because they're just delivering static content), but which choose to use javascript anyway -- either because it's more convenient for them, because a lot of web frameworks make use of it, and/or because they want to deliver ads and track their users through javascript. When I run across such sites, I either try to circumvent them somehow (maybe by manually reading the source and extracting the content), or when that fails I just avoid them. In the very rare cases when I can't avoid them, can't circumvent them, and absolutely need them, I'll grudgingly enable javascript. This case accounts for maybe 5% or less of my web use.

Yeah, sure. The orthogonality thesis essentially implies than a GAI randomly plucked out of space of possible minds will likely be considered sociopathic by our standards. That is, if we can comprehend its thinking at all. "Not sociopath" is a very particular set of values.
I think there are probably many people who don't have the same perspective as you, or at least are willing to go to a grimy miserable warehouse if it means checking off several kids on their Christmas shopping list.
If you're interested in this sort of idea, you might be interested in beaker browser [0] (I'm not affiliated in any way).

What would it even mean for perspective per se to be relevant or not? We aren't discussing art history! I did indeed read your comment as saying that the perspectives of the hypothetical conclusion-jumpers were relevant, which would at least have been coherent. I can't make heads or tails of your comment about perspective being relevant — you apparently meant to accuse me of some kind of dishonesty, but it isn't even clear what I'm being accused of. In any case, your comments so far provide very little reason to take seriously anything you say.

I think that because it happened in Japan and other places. Japan has a single payer health insurance system called NHS. The government pays 70 percent of the cost of all health procedures, if you’re a low-income or elderly resident, it pays as much as 90 percent. The remaining 30 percent is covered by private health insurance.

The government is EXTREMELY good at negotiating prices. In other words, there are already examples of it working really well, so it's pretty clear it can work well here too with enough care.

Japan is known for really high-quality care that is insanely cheap and has more doctors per capita than in the USA. So the worry that overall service and competition would decline is unfounded.

So let's take really good working examples and try them here. The USA can do so much better, it's not even funny.

Ex options MM / hedge fund manager / HFT guy here.

This is a really good article.

The net interest thing has a parallel in the HF world. CTAs, a type of hedge fund, used to do substantially the same thing. The margin requirement for holding a load of futures is quite low, but the customers of the fund have put cash into the fund. So back when interest rates were higher, a fair bit of a CTA's returns would be interest on the cash.

He's right about Robinhood. From the HFT side, the problem is if you're in the "real" institutional market, someone will run you over occasionally. With retail, that never happens, and the spread you can offer is thus tighter. There's no front running to it, just the ease of non toxic flow. So RH is trying to put forward zero comms as a way to get some deposits.

He's also right about options. It's tempting to think that you can just sell some options to collect premium, or do a combination of some sort (iron condors, butterflies, etc) to save yourself from wasting money. But keep in mind the costs when you're doing this, and the fact that you are simply paying up to squish some risk into an unfamiliar shape. It also has a gambling-like tendency to create occasional wins to keep you interested.

As for investment advice for retail people, if you are a coder there doesn't seem to be any reason to use anyone other than IB. They are the cheapest, and if you can code you can use their APIs to trade whatever it is you want. I'm not saying anyone can make a great trading strategy, but you can certainly manage some passive investments with barely any fees. Or just take advantage of RH and do it free I suppose.
Are you sure the EC isn't relevant now?

DO other countries not use it because they are not a collection of geographically / culturally / and relatively-recently separate states that have united so there is little reason to adopt a system that fairly treats unique states in relation to a larger unified federal body?

The people vote in thier states, the states vote for the president. Without it, all 48 other states get railroaded by the 2 with the highest population. We have a representative democracy because that's not fair.

You may even think you want NYC and LA to pick the president every year, but you don't.

For reference [0] I think you're going to have a bad time if you tell the people outside of NYC and LA that their voice, concerns, representation is totally irrelevant. We don't have a perfect system, but we have one that's been working for 240-some years.

> and it's survived and even thrived in the face of fierce attacks for a decade

What fierce attacks has bitcoin faced?

Sure, lots of people mock and criticize it, but no real action has been taken. The people criticizing it have just as much influence (or maybe even less) than the delusional and ignorant true believers.

To me, a fierce attack would be regulatory action taken by various world governments, but that hasn't happened. To the contrary, even countries that probably should care (e.g. China, with its capital controls, and bitcoin mining seemingly used to evade them) appear not to. If anything, that shows just how insignificant bitcoin is.

My vague impression (I don't follow this closely) of US regulators is that they have given bitcoin reasonable or even slightly favorable treatment.

I think the fear here is that if prices are published its going to provide leverage to smaller outfits to get better pricing and that is a good thing.

the best benefit is to give Americans a true idea of what stuff is costing because so many are too separated from the cost of their health care to understand the magnitude of the problem
They should really hold the full amount in escrow, with something like Bitcoin so they don’t have to worry about transaction denials.
Is it? i dont know. My understanding is that dominant coins exist to subsidize dominant armies, which then protect the dominant coin in a virtuous/vicious cycle.

Also, barter worked very well since forever, in which every product is a different "coin", it just doesnt scale physically, while digital currencies do.

If we are posting data to the Bitcoin blockchain, does this data live alongside transaction data? And if so, are there fees to host this data (as we need to pay miners to include data in a block)?
I have good health insurance but recently my insurance declined payment for a lab test on grounds it was experimental. Turns out the insurance company was on solid grounds. At this point I was on the hook for the lab fees. But here’s the interesting part: because the insurance declined payment, negotiated rates no longer apply. This means the lab gets to charge me list price. The list price is a random high price that has no relation whatsoever to reality. In my case I was charged 3x the negotiated price! This executive order helps people in my situation—you can argue that the list price is unreasonable and that the negotiated price is all you should have to pay (even though you were not party to the negotiation).

This executive order is also useful for uninsured patients because you now have a basis for arguing for a lower bill. And the courts would be sympathetic because everyone knows list prices are random numbers!

I would first look at the tools/libraries you are using and what they may support. PostgreSQL, mySQL/mariaDB are both well supported RDBMS in some circles and work well with Python... if you are doing map/reduce at its' core, you may do better with Hadoop or Cassandra. MongoDB may be a disconnect depending on your tooling.

PostgreSQL does have a lot of options, and this includes indexing on binary serialized JSON data, that can help a lot depending on what you want to do. PLV8 is also incredibly interesting.

As an aside, I tend to find that if I can do something in a Docker container (locally), I will do it in a container. This lets you spin everything up, and down and cleanup and retry without leaving remnants of stuff behind on your host environment (desktop). The only gotcha is don't use volume mounts for your db data if you're using docker desktop for windows/mac, it does not perform well.
> They would fill the same role as existing insurers, but instead of multiple black boxes there would be one.

Because larger purchasers have more leverage to negotiate better discounts/bulk rates. When your choice is, "take the offer or you don't get any payment", you take the offer.

Ok but that entire insinuation is disingenuous. The article is taking a statement that Tim Cook made about what happens on an iPhone users phone in terms of Messages, FaceTime, and Apple Pay and is attempting to apply it to the entire App Store when that's never ever been the argument Apple's making. If anything, Apple is the only company that's tried to educate users about their data and isn't actively seeking to make a profit off that data.

And even your "whatabout" complaint seems disingenuous. This is more like reading an article that says that the US government is killing innocent civilians and then someone pointing out that the civilians were actually killed by an individual that worked for a contracting company that the US government hired. You can't, in good faith, make the connection that the actions of an individual somehow equate to the actions of the whole organization just because there was some tangential relationship.

Apple doesn't do this. Full stop. Specific apps do it and they do it regardless of the platform. This has nothing to do with Apple and the article, source and re-post, are simply dragging Apple into it for clickbait headlines.
Based on what? Celebs & pop stars are already getting paid millions per year to speak/play at private events. Commoditizing that market and making it accessible on a variety of platforms at a variety of pricing tiers is going to bring in a ton of money.
Thank you, that contains some really useful stuff!

But after some more googling and literature research of my own I realized what I was looking for is actually "performance modeling" and not system simulation per se.

Google scholar gives some good results for this keywords, if anyone wonders. Especially the "Computer Performance Modeling Handbook" (1983) caught my interest.
Yes, this.

Also from what I've read just applying it to your shoes is hugely effective on its own vs ticks, with socks adding another large percentage, as the majority of ticks will jump onto your feet and climb up your legs.

The rest of your clothes are worth treating too certainly, but even if it's just your feet it will be a major help.

Of course they are. You think they raised 2.1 million in their seed round and didn't pay for any lawyers?

A lawyer 100% told some exec how to craft their legalese to appear to cover theft, but would not actually make KitSplit liable in the event of said theft.

Hanlon's razor doesn't apply here. Never assume these companies, which have all the facts and all the cards stacked in their favor, are acting out of incompetence or obliviousness. They know. They also know they won't be held accountable. The last time (7 months ago) KitSplit pulled this, they paid out to the guy who got his stuff stolen and everyone quieted down.

That's just the cost of doing business.

I wonder what would happen if you could preemptively donate onto a pool that would guarantee you first place in line should you ever need to pay for an emergency medical expense? Yes this is almost the same as insurance, just without the middle man:

$100 upfront buys you 2 years of protection up to $50k for emergency issues. I would go for it. The major issue I see are the grey area in what constitutes an emergency, as well as the "hidden menu" as someone here calls it. That if you don't try to negotiate, you are throwing away massive amounts by paying sticker price.

Perhaps another approach is to buy "attorney insurance" that buys you an expert negotiator (and legal representation) should you ever need to fight the hospital over one of these ordeals.

Problem is, unless you're in a hurry, you can get most of this stuff much cheaper on Aliexpress.

isn't the point of dynamic DNS that it's not self-hosted? It should be on a static IP somewhere outside the network/IP you want to monitor.

I run a server at home and I can always just go update my DNS records to some new IP but the catch is I cannot ssh home without knowing the new IP address, hence the point of a dynamic DNS service.

If you host that in the same network, what's the point? You lose access to it too.
