My suggestion would be to comingle them with the Show HN submissions; they’re the same thing with a different way of phrasing the title. If someone wants to look specifically for old posts, you have that covered with the year filter (where the reader can choose 2009, 2010, etc.) Also, note that a few submissions begin Ask YC: Review {our,my}....

It really depends. Consider:

1. How many assets do you have to protect? Houses, investments, a business. If you have a bit of those, then insurance is good protection against losing them if you get sick for some reason.

2. Are you young with a good health history? Rolling the dice, you are probably low risk and won’t need much in the near future. But it is definitely a dice roll.

3. Hospitals charge more to uninsured than they charge insured. This is because uninsured typically don’t pay and are harder to collect from, so treatment goes up.

4. Likewise, if you don’t pay or they suspect you won’t pay, they don’t have to do a lot of things: just stabilize and release. Got cancer? Well, charity care doesn’t really include that specialist that might save your life.

5. Medical tourism might work if you are open to going to Thailand or India if you get anything serious. Problem is you probably won’t be able to get there for anything emergency.

6. Insurance for individuals (as opposed to group plans) really sucks: it is more expensive (people who don’t get insurance from work are higher risk), it isn’t very tax deductible (employers get a tax break on giving insurance to their employees). It is almost a bad deal, so I get why people would hesitate about it.

Sigh

You eat at a restaurant, and offer to pay with a barrel of oil (or bond). The restaurant sues, and the judge orders you to pay money, and the restaurant does not have to accept the barrel of oil. You were not able to spend the oil (or bond).

You eat at the same restaurant, and offer to pay with a Titan. The restaurant refuses, and sues. The judge orders you to pay with money, and you offer up the Titan again. The restaurant must either take the Titan, or give you the meal for free. You were able to spend the Titan.

Businesses can decide whether or not to accept certain denominations at the point of sale, but if all I have is a $100 bill and a service has already been rendered, they can either take the $100 bill then, or sue me and take the $100 bill later. That is not the case with a barrel of oil.

So for the last time: no, you cannot spend a barrel of oil like you can a 100 million GBP note. You cannot spend a bond like you can a Titan (this is the distinction that set off this chain of comments). Banknotes issued by the Bank of England are legal tender in the UK, bonds are not.
Could easily do it financially, the problem is you have to get the attention of someone in government that matters and prompt them to go to bat to convince numerous other people of the need to spend the money. Stray spending like that only happens as a pet cause that someone with influence champions, in doing so they burn a political marker (diverts funds from someone else's pet cause). Alternatively you have to get someone to put it into a future budget for one of the land management services, which can take years depending.

Might be far easier to get a rich person to fork over the $15m and then hand it over to the forest service, like so:

"The league plans to transfer the land to the US Forest Service in the next decade, which will make it part of the Giant Sequoia National Monument."

> look at Caltech...[who] famously did not hire Emmy Noether because she was female

What? I'm having trouble finding a reference. I know the story that she faced discrimination and Hilbert vouched for her, but that was in Germany. I didn't know there was any from Caltech.

Why is it assumed that we have to rag on people? If we are ragging on people, what standards are we using? Obviously it's still ok to get artificial help to the top if you're in some groups, but not in others. That means it's ok to be discriminated against if you're in some groups, too.

Speaking of Caltech, female applicants have 3x the chance of getting into Caltech as male applicants[0]. It's almost certain that qualified males aren't getting in because they're males. That was the problem with Emmy Noether: she was qualified but couldn't get in because she was female. If the discrimination right now is against the males, why are we talking about Emmy Noether being forced to audit classes in 1903 on the other side of the world?

If we assume "equality" in the groups of male and female students applying to Caltech for 2016-2017, meaning they both should have the same acceptance rate, then 134 seats were taken from the guys because they're guys and given to the girls because they're girls. Maybe you can argue the girls only apply if they're really serious, but 3x?

[0] - https://www.parchment.com/c/college/college-178-Caltech.html...

edit: here's a better data source: https://nces.ed.gov/collegenavigator/?q=caltech&s=CA&l=93&id...

It shows 3x admissions advantage for females with over 2x enrollment advantage. Everybody's saying they don't do affirmative action but it's hard to believe at least for gender. But the racial demographics are extremely different from Harvard's so maybe the female applicant pool really is 2x as likely to be qualified. I need more data.
Yeah in modern capitalism simple failure to "fit in" often leads to death for a free country you have to toe the line so tight it breaks your feet but you better not complain lol
> There are many reasons people use public transit besides convenience (poverty, disability, inebriation).

Sure, but those aren't really helpful ways to increase ridership. Increasing the number of people with a disability or promoting poverty or alcoholism in order to increase use of mass transit is not a reasonable plan even if it would be effective.

> I want something better than what we have, which is walk-able city centers and less space wasted on mandatory parking.

Mandatory parking is indeed very stupid. If there isn't enough parking then people will build more. There is no legitimate reason to mandate it by law.

> You give them the money, and they'll spend it on blackjack and hookers.

Stuff is fungible. If you give someone money for heating oil then they'll spend it on heating oil and use the money they would have spent on heating oil for blackjack and hookers if they want to. The only thing you're really doing is forcing them to buy heating oil instead of actual substitutes for burning more heating oil, like heat pumps or better insulation. Because one way or another they need to heat their living space, but if you satisfy that requirement for them in a specific way, it still frees up resources that they would have had to use for that and can now use for unrelated things like blackjack and hookers.
High speed rail in China is also killing the traditional dining car. In my experience, Chinese dining cars on non-high speed rail are amazing. Food is cooked freshly on the car and you can meet random interesting travelers sharing your table.

You used to even be able to get freshly made meat and vegetable dishes on the Guangzhou to Hong Kong (Hung Hom) intercity route.

High speed rail has for the most part either totally ditched the dining car or switched to pre-packaged boxed meals that aren't particularly interesting.

On my most recent long-haul slow train trip from Hong Kong to Beijing in 2016, a university professor from Beijing decided to sit across from and repeat government propaganda to me as if she was the first person to ever tell this foreigner who speaks fluent Chinese these things. "Did you know China has 56 ethnic minorities?" "Did you know China has 5000 years of history?"

I made a point to visit a dining car on an east coast Amtrak route several years ago after my amazing China dining car experiences hoping to get some of that traditional dining car experience and found to my disappointment that even then they were only serving pre-made meals.

I guess it's hard to justify pulling and staffing a full kitchen and stocking it with fresh ingredients.
Ahh, yeah that's the modern ones. The old school ones are even better -- they have one that leaves ~ 7am I think. It's a not as nice as this, older less fancy, http://www.mavnosztalgia.hu/en/galeria/241 but it's honestly my favorite.

It's so much nicer than the new ones -- but the new ones normally are only half the car and there's normally business class or something taking up the rest of the car.
The more I read articles like this, the more I am convinced that philosophy, when it turns its eye towards mathematics and the sciences, is complete and utter nonsense, and a total waste of everyone's time.

Philosophical ramblings on scientific notions are akin to how GPT-2 models string together sensible sounding passages, but which upon closer inspection are actually devoid of any useful insight or meaning. Of course, in the act of stringing together esoteric words to make ourselves sound smart, by the rules of brownian motion, once in a blue moon, these ramblings accidentally cross over into formal logic proofs. That is, to put it plainly: we've blindly, or perhaps drunkenly, stumbled our way into the domain of mathematics and the sciences -- behold: Gödel's incompleteness theorems. The shining beacon in a sea of utter and complete nonsense.
> I already said the process was initiated for political reasons.

That is absolutely not the tone of your first response to me. You are moving the goalposts. My whole point was that all these actions - Canada's, China's - were part of a game, a game that in this case America started! You then carry on for 200 lines about the virtues of Canada's independent, unimpeachable judiciary - before admitting that yeah, in this case it was deployed in aid of america's sabre-rattling. I think we kind of agree?

> They may do that but China is not a rule of law country

Look man. China is big, and it is different. I would agree it is less bound by the rule of law than somewhere like Canada but that doesn't make it anarchy. Yes, Police in China have a lot more discretion and they try to solve problems before they hit the courts. There is no "sue your neighbour" - they will drag everyone down to the station and force them to talk it out and come up with a solution. It's just different.

Yes there is corruption. Yes certain "golden people" will never get in trouble. It's worse than in the west but only by degree. You honestly think rich people in Canada get sent to jail at the same rate as others? Rich, connected people are always treated differently. Can you deny this?

Once again I hate to come across like I'm defending China. I hate China! But can you just zoom out and be fucking fair and impartial across these countries you're judging.

Just so we're clear, he's not entirely wrong.

When the central bank 'buys' securities, they do so with money they're creating in that purchase. In effect they're dumping new money into wherever they're buying securities from, but the 'dumping' isn't with dump trucks or dropping it from planes.

Now those bonds come due and the money is supposed to leave the system, but until then the velocity of money means there are knock on effects.

More potential for free energy flow across a gradient. That's what I still associate with entropy
This is nuts. I am a millennial. And I love the dining car. Not just the food is good (the steak really is good!), but the experience of actually talking to people who you would never really talk to in real life. Social media has made it easier than ever to connect with my friends, but that has taken away opportunities to talk to strangers.

Also on long distance trains if you are in a sleeper car your meal is free. I get it, the price is really just included in your ticket, but psychologically it nevertheless feels amazing to order steaks or mussels for free. Getting rid of the dining car would also greatly diminish the value of sleeper tickets.

No that's a different experience. In the observation car you mostly sit facing the panoramic windows, observing the views. In the dining car four passengers sit together facing each other. That makes it much easier to get started talking to strangers just because the way you sit.
Actually extremely common in reality.

The basic argument is that requiring an ID to vote is racially motivated as a tool of suppression and an avenue by which to violate basic civil rights. If this the case, then is requiring a government issued ID to travel, either by auto or air, put in place to prevent minorities from freely traveling around the United States?

Are government mandated requirements to produce an ID when purchasing a firearm an effort to prevent black ownership of legal firearms?

Once you get beyond the arguments around voting, it wildly begins to fall apart, and either shows a complete lack of logical consistency in standing up for minority rights, or an ulterior motive is at play.

I completely agree. As an art teacher, I am often called upon to teach 'colour theory'. Well... find me a theory in the true sense, and I will teach it. Goethe's 'Theory of Colour' is no such thing. Past that, received wisdoms like 'yellow comes forward, blue recedes', is provable bunk.

The core problem is that from the very birth of colour science, the subject has attracted floppy thinking. Newton himself added an accurate colour to his colour wheel for no other reason than he thought it should correspond with the classical musical scale.
