Right, but I'm talking just processed vs unprocessed. The breads in the pictures looked like they probably weren't heavily processed, but even if they're just flour, water, salt, and yeast, I'd still count de-germing and milling the wheat to make flour as kinds of processing. The fermentation is also at least arguably a form of processing, as is kneading to develop the gluten.

Does anyone know the extent to which this is happening faster or slower than the background increase of medical care costs? I know that historically medical care costs have been outpacing inflation. So it's not altogether surprising that, in an unsubsidized environment, the costs to the end-user of that care would also increase, by roughly the same amount.

BCBS often just administers the plan that the employer offers.

The statistical value of single insurance (Basic ACA) for 1 year is north of $10,000, so $1200 has the employer picking up most of the tab still.

I'm the author of the piece.

That's exactly why I blog about the things I do. People who have really had something terrible happen need a way out and it's typically very problematic for others to reach out to try to help them.

It's problematic because helping someone can set up a situation where they expect you to keep helping and others may agree that you "owe" them. Giving once can become a trap where they keep making demands and you don't know how to extract yourself, so best to just not help.

And if you help people based on their sob story, then they don't learn to be productive members of society. Instead, they learn to be con artists who extract money based on pity because, hey, that works and they need to eat.

It's maddening for me because I've tried to figure out how to earn my way and there seems to be no way to get taken seriously for that. There seems to be no way to convince people I merit an adequate earned income. I'm viewed as a "charity case," which isn't a nice thing to say about someone.

But, yes, we need to find ways to help people actually escape such, if only because the alternative is the Prison-Industrial Complex and other very broken models that do not constitute a healthy society.

Offshore wind also has guaranteed strike prices, although as you say much cheaper than HPC. One of the reason HPC strike price is so high is to pay for the guarantee that budget over-runs like this will not have a bill impact. If EDF goes belly-up trying to build it, that's no skin off our noses as bill payers.
At least in the US I've noticed pre-brewed iced tea has often switched to some sort of flavored tea (or a fountain drink). My best guess from working at a place that had pre-brewed tea is that they're hard to keep clean and people tend to like novelty. "Normal" (black iced) tea can taste really gross if the container isn't cleaned properly (or the water is bad quality). I've also seen where the container was soaked in chemicals and not washed out well. "Flavored" tea would mask this.

As for hot tea, unless you're at some specific restaurant where the default is more obvious I would at least expect "black or green" if not Earl Gray or a few other choices.

I was on board with your comment until the mean-spirited "maybe you're the idiot or unprofessional". I don't like how people are calling some people idiots and stupid over dumb mistakes. It definitely gives a bad vibe about developer culture that is only detrimental. Developers and tech professionals exist to serve users... Without them we would be shit out of luck. I don't think turning that mean-spiritedness back on them helps either, though. Tone-deafness all around here.

The average health insurance monthly premium for individuals is a couple hundred dollars ($321 in 2017 per https://www.cnbc.com/2017/06/23/heres-how-much-the-average-a... ; it'll be higher now). $10 or $100/month both mean the employer is chipping in a bunch, they're subsidized via the exchange due to low income, or they've got absolutely garbage coverage that won't actually pay for anything significant.

This is why the linkage to employers for coverage is so insidious - it hides the true cost of the system in lowered salaries. People look at an unsubsidized exchange plan like mine, with its $2,144/month premiums, and go "holy shit, I only pay $10/month for mine at work, that's horrible!"
People usually know what Ponzi is about so comparing unrelated things to it is going to be obviously wrong.

Saying no or directly contradicting is often not necessary. Often the reason you might be interested in saying no is a value or dynamic you feel is being under addressed or undervalued. You can compliment what's positive in another's statement and ask about that positions relationship with the value or dynamic you identify as needing to be addressed or valued.
We don't "need" to improve the form factor for anything, everything is fine as is.

That said, theres nothing wrong with trying to make progress. Sometimes there are hiccups (the 2016+ keyboards).

I certainly appreciate the thinner form factor of my 2018 model (I don't mind the keyboard). I do see room in improvement for making them thinner, as my absolutely favorite portable is the Pixelbook (sans giant bezel), which is quite a bit thinner (0.4" vs 0.61") and still has the 2015 style keyboard.

You seriously think that adding some checks to account for missing files in a playlist is a hard thing? I know it's probably a bit more involved than that, but lets be serious here. I'm not asking for much.

There was a local bar in my home town that didn't, but I think just for the regulars. I remember coming in once and one of the owners said, "You have $11.50 tab from <two months ago>" ... and you didn't tell me the like ... 30 times I've been in here since then and paid my tab in full?

Occasionally there was a list on the chalk board, first and last name, of everyone who owed a tab. This was at late as 2008. This was also in a city of like 150; so not even a small town.
The USPS also seems fairly cognizant that they need to embrace parcel delivery with the decline of first-class mail; for instance, they are continually expanding their Sunday parcel delivery.
The proposal seems like it would do a lot more harm than good. Users who live in a dictatorship would have one of the biggest channels to tell their story stripped from them.
In a lot of instances, the employers subsidize some or all of the premiums. BCBS has a lot of different plan structures too, depending on the size of the organization or association involved in purchasing the policies.

It seems like most people are answering (1), which is cool, but I'm also curious about (2).

Newegg's legal counsel, Lee Cheng, successfully convinced his bosses that they might save money by fighting patent extortionists instead of paying them. They had an early high profile case, and won, and then won several more. (Also lost a couple, if I remember right.)

Lee furthermore pursued a strategy of trying to win by invalidating the patent. Newegg got enough of a reputation for this that patent trolls would mass-file a lawsuit, realize that they had included Newegg in the lawsuit, and withdraw the suit. So then Newegg started a strategy of chasing down any patent troll dumb enough to file a suit against Newegg, and aggressively sue them in retaliation -- again, seeking to invalidate the patent (https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/01/newegg-sues-pate...).

Cheng and Newegg eventually went their separate ways, and I haven't heard much from either one since. But, for a while, Newegg was in the tech news every few months for doing real damage to another patent extortion outfit, and it was glorious.

The efficiencies of scale switchover point is probably a lot closer to hand than you think. VW's ID.3 is already cheaper than all comparable gas models of the (outgoing) similar Golf, and just about all of the German auto manufacturers have been not-so-subtly saying that they expect that all of their EVs will be cheaper than their comparable models with other powertrains in the next couple years.

China has sub-$15k equivalent EVs today. Cheap EVs are certainly physically possible even with today's scales, and partly it's just the catch-22 perception hump of "EVs are only for early adopters and luxury cars" (for both consumers and manufacturers) keeping EVs from hitting some scale benchmarks to push them cheaper.

The used market still isn't showing a lot of EVs, but that seems to be that statistically most EV owners keep their cars for longer. That's an interesting statistic, that maybe points to reliability on one side, and a possibly very different replacement rate on the other side. Which is to say that the average EV first owner is currently keeping their vehicle for 7-10 years rather than the 4-5 year replacement rate that has been of typical of ICE vehicle sales. (If EV owners were only keeping their cars for 4-5 years, as you suggest of some hypothetical "HN bubble" that would be a lot more of them on the used car market, and in turn fewer complaints of the high cost of EVs. The long first life of an EV is also keeping the costs up and affecting depreciation rates.)
