Yeah a16z is probably not best viewed as a monolithic entity, but rather a loose connection of people. They've contradicted themselves other times too. For example, Ben Evans has said that autonomous taxis will likely lead to more bland, commoditized cars, since fleets will buy cars like corporations buy PCs [1]. Frank Chen has predicted the exact opposite, saying that autonomous taxis will likely lead to a wider variety of cars, because it will enable weird designs to be shared across people to serve the long tail of needs [2]. Kinda hard to trust their logic on what's true when they have people arguing both sides, as in the example you highlight regarding data network effects. I guess we each have to come to our own conclusions and then let reality be the judge.

Those are cause for concern, but let's be realistic, the percentage of how many coercive ballots must be very low, I'd guess less than 1%. I think the pros of mail in voting (getting a greater percentage of the population to vote because they can do so at their leisure, don't have to take time off of work, don't have to stand in lines, etc.) outweigh the cons (such as potential coercion or selling of votes).
Fraudster Extradited After Stealing Almost $750k from UCSD
I am reminded of a conversation I once had at Microsoft about some upcoming rocket science technology that wouldn't ship version 1 for a year or two — WPF? DAO? some such thing — and one of the managers referred dismissively to "legacy code". To which one of the others present responded, "to be clear, by 'legacy code' you're referring to all existing code?"

I'd also like to point out that in my experience actual "engineers" tend to pick the most boring possible technology to do something. Because it probably works. (The really interesting jobs are where even the most boring possible technology to accomplish it doesn't exist yet.)

You usually need to vet all editors. You download a free trial or you download an open source version. After a month the paided on stops working until you pay causing friction. The open source editor keeps working and even provides updates.

In general choosing open source saves you time with yearly licease management, licease audits and removes the risk of surprise price increases and product shutdown.

There would need to be other changes. Right now many doctors work insane hours. My dad is a doctor who we rarely saw growing up. Now in in his 70s he has retired to live near a native american reservation where he works at the clinic. He puts in 60+ hours a week and claims that that is retirement for a doctor. I imagine that young doctors not making the big bucks would not be willing to work themselves to death like the current ones do.

You misread my post. I never said the markets were efficient. On the contrary, they are generally far from it. What I said was that the markets combine the efforts of many different entities in order to determine prices in a way that is superior to what any one entity could do.

> Well, there are negative and positive feedback loops, only one of which is stabilizing!

Absolutely. Entities that consistently contribute positive feedback cause harm to markets and they are generally doing something that is either prohibited or foolish. I don't consider either a good long term profit strategy. The market regulation departments work to remove one and large losses tend to remove the other.

> This can also backfire. In fact, this is why a number of stock markets have instituted a trading stop if an asset moves "too fast". Slowing things down / reducing liquidity can stabilize a situation.

Sure, exchanges use a variety of market integrity controls, including limits on rapid and/or large price changes that can trigger order rejections or trading halts. These controls can be beneficial when the price fluctuation was due to poor trading, but can be damaging to a market when the fluctuation was due to significant new information or because there is a natural high volatility situation such as a derivative that is about to expire or is rarely traded. Consequently, the exchanges have to be careful about how and when halts are invoked. Some exchanges often get it wrong.

The main point I was making is that lowering the latency of the multitude of price discovery feedback loops making up the global market can be very beneficial because it allows the pricing dependencies to be more fully determined.

Indeed. I haven't been into the warez scene in a long time. But if you look at any pre-db, Razor 1911 is still prolific. The thing that astounds me is that there are still so many groups, topsites, categories, etc. in this age of near ubiquitous surveillance.

> GitHub should moderate every repository that has a 9-digit sequence.

I mean when I worked in med and edu tech this was very literally our mandate -- we had to scan every ounce of internal data looking for PII with tools of widely varying quality and scrub what we found.

So I agree that it would be a burdensome and annoying requirement -- I can attest personally -- but it's not impossible. I would imagine the requirement would boil down to a question on a audit that just requires that you're taking some reasonable measures to identify, notify owners, and take down PII.

Luckily for Github they already have vulnerability scanning so at least some of the infrastructure to build this is already there.

If you wanted to do it cost effectively, yes.

I have experience of single player (UK) and private insurance based but properly managed by the government (NL) and can tell you that single player is much cheaper to run. When I moved to NL about 15 years ago the UK was spending the same per capita on the NHS as The Netherlands spent from the central government to cover the shortfall to the insurers.

In 2019 there isn't as much difference: a significant amount of providers in the UK have been privatised which increased costs whilst at the same time the NHS budgets have been systemically strangled in real terms - something like annual 2% budget increases against annual 15% cost increases thanks to demographics and lifestyle choices.

So in short: single payer is great but the second the Republicans (or whatever the "don't tax the rich" party is at the time) get to touch it they'll ruin it.

I’m not a doctor, so the usual disclaimers, but with three kids this has generally been our experience — young ones get some ridiculously high fevers by adult standards and generally, if they clearly have a virus, it’s not something too freak out about.

The big exceptions are if they’re really young — like still babies — or if they’re not themselves: can’t stand up, overly weak, not eating or drinking.

My main point of contention is around using the internet as a diagnostic tool — much better to call an advice nurse if you have access to one.

Okay, but what percentage are you in?

Judging by your comment history, I'm going to assume you're in the US. That already puts you pretty close to the top 1% on a global scale.

Should everyone in the world look at Americans living a standard American lifestyle and think, "let all the 5% jerks who consume 5x what I do live considerably leaner"?

While that may actually be a fairly reasonable response, the problem is that the same excuse can be used basically wherever you are on the ladder.
