> If my choice is to pay for cancer treatment or die

In a socialized medicine system, someone else is making this choice for you. Medical costs (drugs, doctors' education and time, research costs, equipment) are unbounded, while resources are not (no matter what kind of insurance you have), so tradeoffs have to be made. ("What? My daughter is dying from an extremely rare disease and you're not having 1000 PhD researchers working on the cure?! You're spending the resources on curing breast cancer instead?!? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!!!") AFAIK (though I haven't deeply researched this topic) society-level recommendations aren't made on what is best, but on what is most cost effective (e.g. how often you should have mammography, when you should start having regular colon cancer scans) so it's perfectly reasonable, if you're rich(er), to supplement the public medical system with some extra resources of your own to improve the health outcomes of yourself and/or people close to you. In addition, that funds new research (e.g. the anti-aging craze currently happening in SV, funded mostly by rich billionaires that don't want to die... the medical system doesn't even recognize aging as a disease (so drugs can't be approved to be "anti-aging")!)
The Brompton is really the only game in town for urban folding bikes. Uniquely, the Brompton locks into a compact and balanced package that can be comfortably carried in one hand. If you opt for a model with a pannier rack (or buy an EazyWheels kit) the folded bike can be pulled around like a wheeled suitcase. There are lots of good folding bikes, but only one good folded bike.

Thanks for coming on here and helping balance the rampant xenophobia in this thread. Please know that some of us in the USA are aware of how our government has treated and continues to treat the Western hemisphere, and that we're doing the best we can to change it.

Unfortunately, comments like the one you replied to reflect the majority opinion. Or at least the more vocal one.
I think you two both agree, actually. How did colonization work out for the indians?
A big chunk of my PhD cohort subsequently left academia, but it certainly wasn’t based on “talent” or intelligence. It was pretty much random and not at all who I would have expected from our first year.
Apparently the IL Supreme Court issued a ruling contradictory to the District Court's Google Photos ruling, a month later:
https://www.skadden.com/insights/publications/2019/01/illino...

There are legal technicalities about if the Google case is appealable on that basis, and what the result of the next similar lawsuit will be.
I've just bought the xootr, will see how it goes. But part of the rationale for trying it (as opposed to my bike) is that I wouldn't feel too self- conscious about taking the scooter onto public transport during rush hour.

It's all marginal, but when it's standing room only, the extra space taken up by the folding bikes is just eeking that little bit more into the "socially unacceptable dick- move" category. Might not be applicable if you're not in place where public transport gets that busy, but definitely a consideration here.

Plus my hope is the ability to carry it easily one handed, and store it under (or leaving it standing vertically) my desks at both work and at home (as opposed to my bike, which resides underground in the garage), and that i can conceivably ride it in a suit.

Plus, I can access both sidewalks and paths and roads (which is a legal consideration here)

As I said, we'll see how it goes...but it seems to make sense on paper...

What's your take on the benefit of this over actually programming in a different C-like language (zig for instance)?
The "birth lottery" is a metaphysical construct. There is no such lottery, in which souls are assigned at random to bodies. Each human being is a rooted thing with a multigenerational history which is (in the typical case) deliberately created. Some stochastic variability is at work in this process, but it is by no means random.

Every nation must have the right to choose the people it wishes to assimilate and those it doesn't. I should not be allowed to go kicking in doors and demanding acceptance. This is the fundamental basis of sovereignty.

The only exception is that a nation must accept those born to its own members, as stateless persons create a potential burden to others.
Mann's correction is not very helpful to Franzen's political agenda which is to motivate people by inducing fear. Mann states (on Twitter)

> Even after Franzen was informed of his error by the fact-checker, he still ended up skewing the notion of uncertainty, implying the model averages preferentially underestimate likely warming, when I had clearly indicated there's an equal likelihood of under and over-estimation. [0]

which suggests Franzen took the side of the "equal likelihood" and skewed it in the direction he preferred. What Mann wants is an accurate scientific representation of the model's accuracy whereas Franzen wants to emphasize the potentially disastrous consequences of a model that underestimates the severity of warming.

Mann is scientifically correct but Franzen is after something more crucial which is convincing people to act.

Kate Marvel seems to read Franzen's article as fatalist (or at least encouraging readers to adopt a fatalist position). I personally read Franzen as trying to motivate people to act in the face of imminent and unavoidable danger and, in my opinion, I think Franzen's approach is more likely to produce action than Marvel's.

I'm not sophisticated enough to know what political signaling is, so it might be that. I don't know.

What it has to do with it is that I can't justify nations spying if I don't think there should be nations. We are all people.

No one chooses where they are born, their race, gender, etc. If it's wrong to discriminate for things over which we have no control, then I believe place of birth is no different than race or gender.

If you increase cost it's going to have an effect. Some farms will shut down, some will automate, some will "move" (by way of imports) to other countries where the working conditions are worse.

I do remote now, but I don't think much of anything is based on "results". We still have mandatory morning meetings, many meetings through the week, lots of questions to be answered, bugs to be fixed, new features to be written, etc. Maybe I should stop working for startups?

If I had a clear goal of "get this done for the week" and that was it, why wouldn't I just do it as quickly as possible and then not do anything else? I just assumed this whole system of meetings/checkins/standups/code-reviews/slack-channels/etc was set up to avoid people doing that.

If anything, I feel more pressure to be readily available when I'm remote.
Great news! Let's work on abolishing public prisons next.
> it shouldn't be determined by the birth lottery

This chips away at the advantages those winners have particularly when they don't have much else going for them (see the many low education, low income people being vocal opponents of any kind of immigration into their country). Which is why a lot of those people see someone changing country as a big threat. It's any group's right to choose who they want to let in and they will use this to make sure that either the newcomers pull them forward too, or they don't get to move at all around that group.

I'd certainly like us to cease exploitation abroad too (we're helping with some horrendous abuse in Africa, for example).

But not helping with colonial/foreign exploits would mostly just be a change of funding/profit (eg BP would take over Equinor projects) - while a ban on fossil fuel extraction in Norway would seal up those resources.
For some of those issues, you could type brackets instead of unit tests. Brackets are a lot less work.
I wouldn't say it's completely not healthier. Red Meat is a class 2 carcinogen (WHO) and replacing it with plant based materials is a great strategy. The problem is all the Oil and sodium they add. I mean, the sodium might be balanced out by the rest of your diet. But, all that oil isn't good for you. Oil, even the best kind, still causes inflammatory effects: everything from canola oil to coconut oil or even olive oil will have an adverse effect on your enothelial cells that line your arteries.

So, on the one hand, removing red meat reduces your succeptibility to cancer. But adding in all that oil will increase inflammation and thus expose you to other health risks.

It should be pretty obvious to anyone using the internet for long to identify what's flamebait.

If you need examples just look at the political sections of Twitter and Reddit where all sense of civility and intellectual debate has been abandoned. Or look at the headlines of clickbait news sites like Buzzfeed and Vice which target that demographic and do the opposite. There's no shortage of examples kicking around.

> Games should instead be required to disclose the scam after fooling the prey, and thus become educational.

this just means every company can try to scam children as many times as they want. Either they keep making up new ways to trick children, or they word their disclosure of the scams in a way children can't understand so they keep falling for it. Either way allowing companies to prey on children so that they learn better is like letting people lure children into the back of vans so they "learn their lesson" after they get raped.

It'd be far better to forbid companies from predatory practices when we identify them and also try to educate kids on the tactics used against them and how to identify them, but that kind of education has to happen throughout their development. The companies who make these games hire people with advanced degrees to research, design and and implement the most additive systems possible. The reality is that children don't have the mental capacity to fully understand everything involved.

I agree that we should instill a distrust of corporations in our children and that we should try to build their defenses against manipulation, but learning by letting them be repeatedly exploited is some very backwards thinking.

I think you could probably get the same results by creating games specifically designed to demonstrate ways companies try to take advantage of us and you could do it without giving companies a chance to profit off your "teaching" method.
There's a choice component to health. Sure, you can lose the genetic or environmental lottery and just be unhealthy.

Or you can choose to be unhealthy. Smoking, drinking, drugs, poor diet, lack of exercise. These are by far the biggest contributors to healthcare cost and they cost absolutely nothing to prevent. Many people just don't take responsibility for their health, and many others in the US don't like the idea of subsidizing other people's healthcare for preventable or self-inflicted health complications.

Well depending on the pricing of the API there are plenty of low revenue services that can't be run profitably.

So depending on the pricing of the API, you let accidents happen. Or even worse, depending on whether or not the municipality is rich enough to buy your services you let them happen or not (even though the poorer the city the more likely it is that they already have maintenance issues).

There are plenty other things you may notice on street-view,
like dangerous/illegal behaviors, pot-holes, even finding cars in lake can have an impact of property value.

Reporting anything is probably a legal or PR risk because of the unknown ramifications so you end-up doing nothing and the accidents happens, yet no-one can hope to offer a better service because it doesn't make economical sense because of the existing service tailored to another usage of the data.

That's not an easy problem but that's one which is at the heart of all-data related business. For example, when you have access to plenty of face pictures with flash you may notice some medical issues with eyes, obviously this is a valuable information for the health insurer, and also to the user.

The public discussion about Minsky stems directly from a particular deposition that mentions him, without it I don't believe there would be any more discussion of Minksky+JE than there is of, say, Hawking+JE. This same deposition is what is discussed in the article Benford commented on.

I acknowledged the possibility that there were separate incidents at other times from what Benford mentioned, as well ("it's always possible that there were other earlier interactions, but that's pure speculation and I don't see why anyone should assume such a thing unless someone makes some kind of accusation of it")-- but was pointing out that if it was a was assumed up thread then she would have been of age at the time. From the description in her depo, she would have been a victim regardless of her age.

I've preferred to avoid using her name gratitiously because having idiotic internet discussions showing up in searches forever utterly sucks-- it can feel violating, with the public assuming ownership of your identity against your will.

I was of the impression that it was absolutely clear what depositions we were talking about-- I don't see how you could think it was anything else. Unless I missed something, the only other mention of Minsky in the depositions was a pilot that listed him as a person that was brought to/from the island.

Please notice how far afield you had to go to postulate bad outcomes. For your scenario to play out, the people running private prisons must commit some pretty egregious crimes. Can you imagine the chutzpah of someone who tries to bribe a judge?! That's practically instant, guaranteed jail time. Judges only get bribed when judges ask for bribes.

If you applied this same level of scrutiny to the existing prison system, I'm sure you could come up with far worse outcomes using far less speculation. For example: What's to stop state prison guards from torturing inmates? Answer: Nothing, because they have qualified immunity.[1]
