I’d question why someone would get this over Alexa-powered earbuds. The obvious benefit is this is “always on” your face and earbuds that are only on X% of your waking day, but at least when you are alone it seems like most people would wear their buds/headphones enough of the day where no one would really feel like they would need it in their glasses over headphones. Headphones are also an easier sell to a wider population of users since they’re relevant to all vs a subset of people who need or want to wear glasses.

> I always believed you should be able to qualify for lower costs (or be charged higher) depending on how you take care of yourself. Annual physical fitness test. I'm a little sick and tired of paying high premiums for people to have healthcare that don't take care of themselves.

Better hope you never get in a car accident or similar accident or get diagnosed with cancer or a chronic condition.

Congratulations for being in perfect health and not needing any sort of medical care. There are plenty of people who don't smoke and aren't obese and can still be bankrupt by standard medical treatments.

I would bet money (let's say the value of my annual insurance premiums) that if the two of us took a physical fitness test or compared overall "health" in areas that are more controllable (weigh, cholesterol, body fat percentage, amount of exercise, and other indicators like smoking/drug/alcohol use), I would be considered healthier than you.

But I have an endocrine condition that requires very expensive medication and annual tests that cost a lot of money.

You're selfish, and that's fine. But the second you ever actually need health care, I hope you remember how quickly you dismiss "people who don't take care of themselves."

I have played around with the amount of carbs, right now my level is where it's at for weight loss, but I am planning on scaling up once I get closer to my goal weight.

But yes, food can be a pain (I have been craving pizza and fries for the longest damn time). My other goal aside from losing weight is learning what foods I _do_ like since having been a picky eater, means I defaulted to the mainstream diet and never strayed far from it which was negatively impacting my health and weight.

On the plus side, while it can be slightly more expensive grocery wise, it basically closes any eating out for the most part, so I can save money.
I have found one of the best ways to be a skeptic is to be clear what you are skeptical about. Example: are you skeptical that the oceans will rise at all or just that they won't rise to X level? Skepticism is often interpreted as dismissal which shuts down dialogue. I like to think the point of skepticism is to further dialogue not shut it down. The last thing charlatans want is dialogue. They thrive on monologue. That's the skeptic's power, to me at least.
I am a U.S. citizen. Yes, cost is a huge issue. We would not have to rip out private insurance, but we would probably have to regulate pricing, which is how it works in Germany. Folks should be welcome to buy supplemental insurance as they do with Medicare. There's basically four models[1] for providing health care, and the US has all of them:

The Bismarck model like Germany with multiple payers, but they are non-profit and pricing is regulated. Doctors and hospitals are private, and there is still supplemental private insurance. Financing is a combination of employer and taxes, where the government takes over the employer portion if the person is unemployed. This is sorta what the U.S. has for those with employer subsidized health care except for the insurers being for-profit and unregulated pricing.

The Beveridge model like in the U.K. financed through taxes and where the government provides care. This is so-called socialized medicine. In the U.S. we have this system for veterans in the form of the V.A.

The national health insurance model, with private doctors and hospitals but the government is a single-payer. Canada. Medicare.

And lastly, out-of-pocket.

We use all of these in the U.S. and it's insane.

We could in theory adopt a Bismarck system. Force the insurers to be non-profit. Make everyone work off Medicare pricing. Supposedly existing Medicare pricing is too low. Fine, let the doctors and hospitals negotiate that with Medicare. Allow supplemental insurance for those who want it.

MFA polls badly when you ask Americans what if they had to give up their current insurance. But I think this is misleading. Of course it's going to poll poorly if you ask someone to give something up. That's basic loss aversion. Turn the question on its head and ask a bunch of 65+ year olds how they'd feel about giving up Medicare in return for their Medicare withholdings back to buy their own private insurance. Guessing that wouldn't poll too well.

I don't think MFA is necessarily the best option. Americans value choice. But it seems to be the universal care option with the most political momentum right now. I'll take it. But I'd be happy with a Bismarck-type system too.

I am surprised by the fact the speaker is in the ring, but it means you can potentially receive “private” information from the ring without other hearing.

If half of all potentials self select out then you end up with an inferior end result. Humanity is worse off if we miss out on potentially half of what might be the best hope simply deciding (or being forced) not to participate. This is just as true for fighter pilots as it is for nurses as it is for programmers.

Many disciplines, (tech more so than most) have cultures of exclusion. Apprenticeships, unions, country club boardrooms and brogramming are all forms of it. When you create these real or psychological barriers to entry ... See above.

You might not like programming and perhaps you should reconsider it as a career for yourself if you find it so terrible. It seems rather petty though to suggest that since you don't like it (particularly as a man) that women in general should not like it.

Tech tends to pay outrageous salaries. Even if the work is objectively crappy, should everyone not have an equal opportunity to get the big bucks?
It's interesting that you bring up the importance of AWS to Amazon, nowadays, because...companies like Uber, Lyft, and WeWork spend a lot on AWS.

In other words, like Yahoo getting a lot of their late-90's advertising from dot-com bubble companies that evaporated in 2001, AWS is massively exposed to the current bubble in "we have so much VC cash we don't know what to do with it" companies. When that goes away (i.e. the next downturn), AWS will lose a huge chunk of their business all at once. It will be interesting to see what Amazon's bottom line looks like at that point.

Echo Frames... apparently, not enough shaming;)
To me, "to seriously take" sounds strange not because it's split infinitive (there's nothing wrong with that), but "seriously" is not just an ordinary adverb here: it's a complement of the verb _take_. "To take the work seriously" is a very different thing from "to take the work," while "to engage the work seriously" is basically the same as "to engage the work," except more seriously.

And I don't think "seriously" (or a similar adverb), when used as a complement of "take," could just move around freely. Just like you can't say "I away chased the dog."

* And, while we're at it, it's a bad idea to take seriously (haha) anyone who thinks split infinitives are wrong. You can find tons of amusing writings by actual linguists here: https://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/index.php?s=Split+infi...

The thing to realize about academia is that the vast majority of people in it have never experienced the real world. They went straight from grade school to college to working in academia, and stay there until they retire or die.

Obviously there are exceptions, but there's no denying it produces some interesting world views.

> "Market" isn't magic fairy dust that spontaneously causes efficiency to appear from nowhere.

Neither is regulation. While it is true that "market failures" (imperfect markets) are common, it does not follow that regulation will improve them. In fact regulation usually makes things worse due to a combination of imperfect information (the regulators can't find out what they need to know to regulate efficiently) and regulatory capture (the regulators end up acting in the interests of the regulated industry instead of the consumers).
The benefit for employers is there are a lot of workers who are there now solely for their family health insurance coverage. I have a feeling this has prevented earlier action by employers, but now it’s past the tipping point.
Because you can’t buy true insurance. You are buying a combination of prepaid healthcare - often including things you don’t need - with some insurance features attached.
Eliminate all insurance. It's an algorithm to take profit from shared costs based on fear

My reading of this [1] seems to match up with what I said:

"""

- If you buy health insurance through the state- or federally run health insurance marketplaces, you can deduct only the portion of the premium you pay out of your own pocket. You cannot deduct the amount of any subsidy.

- If you buy an individual or family health insurance plan, either on the open market or through a marketplace, and you pay all of the cost out of pocket, then the whole amount is deductible.

No doubt. The tough questions are around where will the sacrifices be made?
That's the general idea, yeah. I always start with the power supply because that part is under the most electrical strain, and tends to get hot. That means its components are often both the first to fail, and the most likely to cause weird problems when they do fail. Other than that, it's just intuition about how I think the device probably works, and a lot of trial and error. Major bonus points if there's a datasheet available, or a kind forum poster has had a similar problem to give me a lead on where to look.
That seems to be inspiring a lot of obfuscutory controversy. Take instead, for instance, a contractor with tons of negative reviews or lawsuits brought by former clients and who doesn't want any of that information posted anywhere.
This is a pretty good insight. I think it's the same issue affecting many other groups.

Because the way you're writing suggests not.

>This is an especially desirable quality in currencies

This is an especially UNdesirable quality in currencies.

A deflationary currency cannot become mainstream without causing a huge amount of instability.

Deflation at some point causes people to build stashes of tokens instead of investing in real businesses with real production capacity.

When this trend becomes widespread enough, it causes global production capacity to drop. That's right, when enough people do it, token hoarding displaces investment in businesses and factories and lowers global production capacity. This means token hoarding causes a future drop in things available to buy with these very tokens.

Eventually when token stashes become too big and seemingly valuable, there will be people who want to buy real things with their stock of tokens. These tokens will be chasing fewer goods which will mean prices for stuff will rise (tokens will lose value). This may happen suddenly when people with large stockpiles of tokens notice that value is dropping and see that there are tons of other tokens waiting on the sideline ready to make it drop even further.

Hoarders are likely to rush to get rid of their stockpile all at the same time before they're worthless which will cause their fall to worthlessness. This kind of drop brings the tokens closer to their natural intrinsic value of zero and resets the cycle, which can then start again, such is aggregate economics.

The 1920s and 1930s suffered from this type of production drop but with gold tied currencies instead of cryptocoins. It happened to a lesser extent in 2007 when western world central banks failed to keep inflation rates high enough.

It's important for the world's sake to not let deflationary currencies become too popular. When savings or financial promises are insufficiently tied to future production or to accumulation of real goods, there will be disappointment when many people try to exchange them for real stuff. That is true for crypto currencies as well as government currencies (that is why the system is designed to make banks invest people's money in real businesses and minimize the proportion of money that is stockpiled idly).

It's true that crypto currencies are currently not widely held enough to significantly affect the aggregate economy but speculation already keeps them volatile and the knowledge that as they get more popular, there will be more macroeconomic pressures towards volatility will keep the speculation wild and cryptocoins unstable.

Currencies that are not designed to lose value over time can not be stable. Intrinsically worthless tokens engineered to have better than market real returns (risk adjusted, liquidity adjusted,) compared to real productive investment will always fluctuate increasingly wildly as they get more popular.
I don't know why this is so hard for people to understand (you obviously seem to get it).

WeWork is basically a hybrid bank/retailer. They take big, complex, slow-moving long-term commitments, just like a car rental company or a bank, and repackage them into shorter-term, small commitments, while managing risk and adding a bunch of value-added services.

I don't know about all this governance stuff or their growth rates, but on its face, that activity clearly DOES add economic value, and might be a viable business if executed well.

> examiners (and non-technical folks who don't think much about it)

Patent examiners all have degrees in science or engineering. See, for example, this job listing: https://www.usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDetails/545074300. They're also organized into art groups which become experts in narrow fields of inventions.

> simple incremental improvements.

Almost every patent issued is an incremental improvement of some other invention. By "simple" you probably mean non-obvious, which is one of the requirements for patentability.

> I did some "computer work" and a "novel" new ability emerged.

That's a different kind of novelty. It's not patentably novel if anyone, anywhere in the world, ever did it publicly before you.

The issue is not torque or power, the issue is the range, particularly going uphill consistently. Regen is not 100% efficient, the route seems to be 1000 ft of gain or loss in one direction, and the Albuquerque buses were sold on the explicit promise that they could last pretty much a full day without charging, which turned out to be false.

If you can't run the bus back and forth a full day without charging, this requires more buses to run the same service as a diesel fleet, which makes it a very expensive CapEx item because sourcing decently located space to store and maintain buses is not cheap, nor is maintaining all those extra buses.
