Personal knowledge/professional experience. While it certainly isn’t my area of expertise I have no reason to believe law enforcement handled this particular situation differently than they would any other. I will say that I didn’t think the government had much of a leg to stand on from a legal perspective (so perhaps that could have necessitated their “negotiation” approach) but the stress of the ordeal provided quite a lot of leverage to get the developer to take it down.

I agree that is outrageous. The problem is that people think it is capitalism. When there is no price transparency, there is no capitalism, period.

Hopefully the US is on the way to government healthcare, but for now it would be great to just achieve price transparency so people can shop around.

Without price there is no competition. Without competition there is no capitalism.
FWIW you can turn off historical recording of e.g. voice activity on the Activity Controls section of the Google My Activity page, along with a bunch of other things.
With "destroy" you mean turning something radio-active in something non-radio-active?
I think the US defense subsidy is underrated, as is generational wealth in Europe accumulated over hundreds of years by plundering, enslaving, and colonizing the rest of the world.

Europeans don't want to hear that though, they like to imagine they're just simply more civilized than barbaric Americans.
India and Pakistan have very hostile relationships and a tumultuous past so it is one of the more understandable cases. (Still not an excuse seeing how the EU came to be half a century after one of the bloodiest wars of history ravaged the continent.) For other countries that are at peace and don't have any inclination to go to war with one another though, why enforce borders at all, if not as a vested interest for both parties to control their population on one side and appease xenophobic fear on the other?

Maybe adults do, but I seriously doubt children do.

Maybe some child dev experts on HN could chime in here, but my understanding was that brain development is not complete until well after 18 years in humans. Not only that, but the ability to self regulate is particularly compromised in children.

Now I could be wrong. And, as I said, I welcome the child dev guys to chime in here, but I think these people are literally recording children who, because of human neurobiology, are unlikely to regulate due to the recording.

And I think the people doing the recording know that.

A required visa in itself does not have to be problematic? I have been to (for me) required visa countries like Russia and China without any problem. Cannot even remember I applied for visa (but it shows required here, so I guess I did - both were some years ago). At worst its just a bureaucratic process.

But I guess its difficult for some countries. So adding some indication of the difficulty to get visa for the 'missing' countries would certainly add value.
The ability to enter another country as a tourist without a visa (or with some electronic visa) is cool. Obviously problematic for a citizen of a country with few such agreements.

What I find far more interesting personally is the ability to reside or do business meaningfully in another country in virtue of the bilateral agreements between the two countries.

Some examples of which I have read here or elsewhere.
- US citizens can establish their own business in NL
- US citizens can overstay Schengen limits in PL due to anterior bilateral agreements
- reduced time to permanent residency in CH for CA or US citizens.

Interesting angle, but the US war machine has also trampled on the rights and freedoms of thousands. Look no further than Operation Menu in Cambodia, or the countless regime changes we funded in South America.

Surely we could have our cake and eat it too, in this case? Bear the brunt of defense spending but also not waste time on needless wars and coups, and put that towards a welfare state?

I've got an old HP laptop running a pihole-alike, boinc, syncthing, and a webcam capture from my window: https://johnrockefeller.net/guelph-webcam.

In addition, I also host local files in a temporary way so other machines in my home network can pick them up easily with `php -s`.

Running a home server on an old laptop is very useful. If you're worried about power usage, just set the CPU to the lowest MHz like I did.

If you're doing it, please don't forget to look at boinc, because they need all the help they can get with computing power.
Windows has had no-internet-required voice recognition built in since XP. It is available for any programmer to use for any purpose through importing a DLL, and isn't too complicated to use. With an unconstrained grammar defined, it's something like 85% accurate, but depending on how much you constrain the grammar, can get incredibly accurate.

Meanwhile my mother's flip phone in 2003ish also had on device voice control, and it worked pretty damn effectively

It’s two different approaches to the same problem. Given the problem “the business layer wants to do X, and that’s inefficient in storage layer Y”, DevOps engineers solve the problem by adding another storage-layer component Z that follows a paradigm where the queries from X are “automatically” efficient; while DBAs solve the problem by informing the design of the business layer to make queries that are optimal given the storage layer in use.

For example, a DevOps engineer solves “we need to do search queries” by standing up an ElasticSearch instance and writing code to ingest data from the DBMS into it. A DBA solves the problem by using the search-enabling features of the existing DBMS, and suggesting constraints on the way search is exposed at the business layer that make those queries easier on the DB.

Both approaches “work”, in the sense that you can do either and have a profitable company.

Nowhere near as close - I had what I thought was food poisoning and went to the ER. Deeply aware of US ER fees and was already questioning my choice. I go there and was made to wait 30 minutes in excruciating pain. But it got better and I felt good enough that I decided to leave - specifically because I’m scared of the costs. I informed them and left. Did not see the doctor or anyone. Except the nurse who took my weight and height. Got a bill for $1000. Literally for stepping into the ER.

It’a no coincidence that US has such high opioid addiction and homelessness. Even in third world countries these people would have gotten treatment that didn’t bankrupt them.
> After visiting a native plant garden in SoCal I can't help but find the idea of a grass lawn absurd.

Aesthetically, you may be right. But yards are owned by and large by people with families. They have an important function to fulfill which is ruined by filling the space with plants.
I only got through on the "bow" one, since it was very obvious that everything there was a "bow" of some kind.
I avoid those full lawn chemical treatments and my lawn has stabilized with a nice mix of grass, several types of clover, violet, ground ivy, and dandelions, among patches of other wildflowers and sedges. The colors when they bloom is beautiful. The pests I don't like seem to be minimized, and I get an amazing light show with thousands of fireflies every evening. I have to spot treat the dandelions to make sure they don't take over but for the most part it's a rewarding and aesthetically pleasing situation with little effort and reduces the amount I have to mow, and I never have to water the lawn either!

Redesigning the concept of support in an technology oriented startup
> I’ll probably get downvoted for this, but a strong argument can be made that the European welfare state has only been made possible due to massive US defense subsidies and economic stimulus during the post WWII/Cold War. This doesn’t mean that the US has a good excuse for relatively poor domestic social services vis a vi many European states, but let’s also be real about what allows Germany, France, etc to provide “free” healthcare and other social subsidies.

> In the particular case of Germany, defense spending is only 1.2% (this stat is easily found via google). I’d rather have Pax Americana (which arguably is in decline) over the past 70 years providing stability in Europe, helping to lift hundreds of millions of East Asians out of agrarian subsistence, etc than slightly cheaper healthcare. Although, tell that fact to someone who receives huge, opaque medical bills for simple procedures in the US and they probably wouldn’t take too kindly to that line of reasoning...

I may be misunderstanding your point, but are you attributing European stability to American military power?

This is the rationale a lot of laypeople give - but we need to remember the IRS isn't a bunch of laypeople. The entire purpose of the IRS is taxes - more-or-less.

I'm very confident that, by now - particularly with all the "Never Trump'ers" that surely populate some of the offices in the IRS - we'd have heard something tangible. I'm confident people at the IRS have looked into Trump and The Trump Organization's taxes quite a bit by now, and the lack of any "leaks" or public releases from the IRS or its employees really speaks to there not being anything there - other than complicated multi-national corporation taxes.

The act of not letting every Tom, Dick and Harry look at his personal tax filings and selectively choose pieces to misrepresent for political purposes isn't indicative of wrong-doing. I'm surprised it ever became a thing for any politician to do.

Dan Larimer's EOS functions very similar to Libra, with Delegated Proof of Stake. EOS' DPOS encountered much of the same criticisms around centralization when it was launched, but many people swear by it just because it is good enough. Delegates ("block producers") do reverse transactions on EOS and they consider it a feature. EOS is not immutable, but it does have faster transaction capacity than incumbent chains like Ethereum and Bitcoin.

If Dan Larimer had launched Libra instead of Zuckerberg even with the same corporate block producers, a lot of the crypto community would be loving it. Governments would have ignored it.

This is all about the messenger itself. Zuckerberg deciding to crucify himself and be the focus of society's disdain.

Nice to see the state's monopoly on money evaporating overnight. Its not about whether this iteration would be better for society, its more about the competition existing.

of countries to improve your quality of life.

I was born in EU where I got access to all the benefits you're mentioning, such as free health care, free computer engineering BS+MS degree for myself, and social security providing for my aging parents. However, job opportunities as a software engineer there were ridiculously bad, both in terms of quality of work, and compensation (99% of my college mates ended up, and are still, working in mind-numbing boring consultancy shops paying less than an average skilled blue-collar job).

So, as a single, young, healthy and educated person I immigrated to the US, where a massive world of opportunities, not possible in EU, opened up to me. I'm blessed to be earning way more than the EU economy, with all its safety nets, would be able to support. And I'm doing very interesting work.

Once I get tired of this, or if a major health catastrophe happens, I will go back to EU with significant
7 figures savings, and keep enjoying the EU benefits.

All I'm saying is: I have lived in EU for 23 years and in the US for 10, and the opportunities for personal growth that the US provides are simply unseen anywhere else, so don't automatically discount the US system as bad, romanticizing the lifestyle abroad. Every individual has their own dreams and expectations for their lives, so to each their own.

Considering that, for the services you mentioned, in the US it is often a government itself sending the rhetorical you those bills, I think it is a bit more complicated than merely blaming capitalism.

Germany spends a bit over 10% of its GDP on healthcare. Even the US are only spending 3.2% of their GDP on defense.
So even if Germany or some other European country did decide to raise their military spending and (for some reason) decided to pull the money for that out of their healthcare budget, it'd only make a relatively minor dent. It'd be painful, but it's certainly no either-or thing.

There may be some truth to this, but I also think we choose to spend exorbitantly on military of our own accord. It is not the EU lobby that has kept us from massively reducing our military spending. Charitably, it is our own fear and uncertainty about what would happen if we massively reduced our military footprint. More cynically, the military is a big money maker for defense contractors and am entrenched jobs program. I think there is truth to both things: I certainly fear what would happen if we decided to stop investing in overwhelming force, but I'm also frustrated by the entrenched interests that seem to make it politically impossible to reconsider our posture. But I don't think it has much to do with propping up the European welfare state.
What's the strong argument?

Germany spends 11.14% of GDP on healthcare or 442B. The US by contrast spends 17.07% of GDP on healthcare or 3498B. Therefore the US spends more and still lacks a comparable system.

Additionally the amount Germany saves by under-spending on defensive wouldn't offset the cost of the wealthfare state for example if Germany spent 3% (the US spends 3.5% on defense) of its GDP on defense instead of the current 1.2% they go from spending 47B to 119B. That extra 72B is less than 17% of their total healthcare costs, which again, are much lower than the US'.

This whole argument is a US Conservative talking point that has little to no basis in fact. When you look at the underlying data, it simply doesn't hold up, the cost of medical care and defense are orders of magnitude different and the US's system is so inefficient, even with the savings after decreasing defense spending from 3.5% of GDP to 1.2% (extra 472B/year) it wouldn't function well.
