If only we had examples where the government running something like healthcare resulted in a better outcome for citizens.

Perhaps a country in Europe, as developed as the US is. I mean, a country that we literally border with would be too much to ask for.

Perhaps some of us would be less amused by the concept of government-run healthcare.

Too bad we don't have the example of literally all of Europe, Australia, and Canada to kill that amusement vibe.

Brain Exams Aim to Predict Who Is at Risk of Committing Murder
His premise is not flawed; yours is.

Looking only at clinican costs is akin to saying that a sandwich should only cost $1.50 because that's the cost of the ingredients.

Doctor wages tie into personal health insurance, medical malpractice insurance costs, hospital system insurance costs, and more.

Even if you were correct on the cost bit (you aren't), you're completely ignoring that artificially constraining the SUPPLY of doctors causes massive cumulative ripple effects adding up to significant costs across the system.

The AMA is absolutely a cartel restricting supply and artificially keeping wages high. Have you taken a look at any other health care system in the world?
Amazon charges sellers $3.28 in fulfilment fees for packages between 10 and 16 oz, which includes two day shipping to prime members.

That's end to end, although you do need to pay to ship it to Amazon's warehouse, but that can be done in bulk cheaply.

I see where you're coming from. The problem is that German death camps are by far the most talked about type of concentration camp. Canadians and Americans had concentration camps for the Japanese, for example, where the conditions were significantly better. Even most of the German concentration camps were relatively humane.

One pattern I've seen, is that some people use "concentration camps" to refer to bad ones, and "internment camps" to refer to okay ones, and maybe that's a an okay distinction, but the reality is often a lot less black and white than our words would like to suggest.
That’s not really what happened. It’s not that AAA rated MBS packages were secretly full of shit that should have brought down the whole rating. It was that the systemic feedback of over leverage wasn’t really taken into account.

The AAA’s wouldn’t have failed if it weren’t for the cascading effect of ARMs blowing out shit mortgages causing the financial system to get caught with its pants down.

In other words, the AAA criterion based on historical data would have been applied to the vast majority of each of the individual mortgages as well because they wouldn’t have been problematic assuming housing prices didn’t contract more than they ever had.

There’s a reason it’s called the subprime crisis.
MRI is like 5x cheaper here (I paid less than 300$ for both knees) without any insurance just doing it privately. The reason I think is that it's easier to open a medical business here, people can't sue for damages (or they can but will never be awarded anything substantial), there is less regulation you need to comply with and the doctors and technicians make less money. All this makes it possible to provide medical services at reasonable price.

We have public single payer healthcare. The quality is low and lines are long (it's several months at least if you would like to get free MRI using that option and then like a year or more to get actual arthroscopy). Still I think shitty but somehow working public option keeps private providers in check because they can't charge arbitrary amount as there is always shitty option to fall back on.

To give you an idea about prices here if you go private: typical doctor visit: 40$, dentist (one tooth filling): 60$, arthroscopy: 1000$, full blood panel with about everything under the sun included (hormones, vitamins, minerals, insulin response etc.): 200$. The quality of service is low but higher than in major metro areas in US (according to my sister who lives in NYC).
This is Poland so low wages are surely one component that makes cheap services possible but I think not the only nor the most important one.

That's not the point of patents. The point of patents is to give your invention to the world/country and in return, the government will protect your invention for a period of time, after which, the novel idea will be donated to the public domain by the government. The idea being that for both the inventor and the people, it's a win-win.

It doesn't always work out that way, but it's definitely not how you are putting it.
Back when I used to tend open bars, I’d do something I called “priming the tip jar.” Throw a five and some ones in and folks seemed to be more willing to tip. Probably mostly because it didn’t just look like an empty glass sitting right-side up–it made it obvious it was a tip jar without having to put a tacky “Tips” sign on it.
Trusted Types just gives you the APIs for declaring what code is allowed to make strings that may be used with unsafe sinks.

You could do this by validating inputs with regexes, or you could make a safe-by-construction API, or you could not declare certain methods on your policies and thereby ban entire classes of unsafe API from your page.

The key idea is to have a small number of places that declare policies and generate trusted values. You can then audit just those places, because you know that all writes to unsafe DOM sinks must pass through those policies.
Popcorn is full of grains, which are rather energy dense, even if after popping they gain volume.

Just as eating whole cobs of corn will make you full fast (partly due to the water content).

Salt makes things tastier (works for the traditional corn too), which leads to eating more.

The article says:

> Pressing CTRL simply sets all bits but the last 5 to zero in the character that you typed. You can imagine it as a bitwise AND.

But it can't be quite that simple, or Ctrl-[, Ctrl-;, and Ctrl-{ would all have the same effect. There must (as you said, and contrary to the article) be additional logic that only zeroes the leading bits if they are "10".
Yes, there's a lot of potential with basically using car batteries to smooth out the intermittency issues... I guess that this might be relatively easy (still, despairing about the slow pace of changes...)

Being at the 3rd place in the atomic table isn't a guarantee of availability - after all hydrogen is first, is 75% of the mass of the universe, and yet isn't directly available to us ! (at a low cost)

When I used versions of android with home screen roatation, I remember it would completely jack up most of my widgets. They were designed to be displayed at some aspect ratio and that aspect ratio would change after rotation. Maybe they got rid of the feature because it wasn't worth it to herd developers of widgets into fixing this issue.
No, the bullet point right below the one you quoted states at least 7.5% of AGI spend is not deductible.
$375B for 82M people (~$4,500 per person) for Germany. Versus $609B for 44M people (~$13,800 per person) for Medicare.

FYI, USA currently spends about $10,800 per person on healthcare, roughly $3.5 trillion.

IMO, the discussion should revolve purely around pricing and efficiency. Negotiating power alone isn’t going to drive $1.5 trillion in costs out of the system.

I would like to see basic pricing reforms demonstrate that year-over-year price can be held constant. That would be a nice start.
"Medicare for all" does not mean free healthcare. It's paid for by taxes. You taxes become your "premium" under that system. The concept of "private health insurance" outside of supplemental insurance would not exist under that system.

Even a viewpoint or philosophy you disagree with strongly can be useful as insight into "the other side's" thinking.

Stratechery is hit or miss in my view. It epitomises the definition: "An expert is a person who avoids the small errors while sweeping on to the grand fallacy."

Erm... okay, but grandma couldn't have invested in WeWork unless she was an accredited investor, and if she's an accredited investor, I'm not so sure we need to be feeling a lot of sympathy for her greed.
In a behaviorial finance class I took we learned about a few hedge funds that followed CEO's during the 90's, and shorted their companies whenever the CEO underwent plastic surgery. Turns out that personal appearance insecurity of the CEO was inversely correlated to company performance.

From Steve Job's turtleneck to Zuck's zip-up hoodie, CEO appearance is a market signal that some speculators choose to use.

Your argument was based on a premise that students who are admitted via merit to elite schools do not actually benefit by attending these elite schools. You backed up this premise by citing a study showing that students who were admitted via merit to such schools but who ultimately attended less elite schools, had similar incomes to the students who attended the elite schools.

This premise is false, as I have argued, because income alone is not a good measure of benefit.

Any argument based on a false premise is an unsound argument. Consequently, your argument is unsound.

We offer an iOS app player, which allows you to play live with your app straight from the browser, and see all the API requests as they happen. This is actually setting up a remote control session with an actual iOS simulator/device.

All you need to do is upload the `.app` file, and you can use this. It's as easy as dragging the app into a simulator except now you can:
- share a live debug session with somebody
- track all the network calls
- switch between different versions of your app
- take a high res screenshot

I think it was being advanced as necessary but not sufficient. Certainly being technically competent does not qualify one for a management position. It requires an entirely new skillset to be developed and a shift in mindset that many developers aren't going to be willing to make (i.e., despite being elevated to a management role, you are decidedly not the "star" of the team and must delegate the most interesting work to your team members).
The answer is always that someone has found some sort of program to follow that helps them eat less calories. I've not seem anyone ever try the approach of "avoid foods that taste good" but its not a bad idea probably. Just never ever bring good tasting, easy to prep food into the house.

Now you gotta work for food you don't really want.
I think one reason some may protest is these just aren't hacker-friendly to most IMO. They're consumption devices, and aren't tweakable enough, a la:

- Custom firmware

- API's / SDK's

- Custom services / frameworks to orchestrate in-out-around vendors ecosystem (IFTTT?)

Not really enough to get at the gears of it. Is Alexa, by itself, the kind of ecosystem a startups would want to devote to? I imagine to make a really good Alexa product, it tends to be very specialized, and it's risky to be stuck with just one market.

Not to say Amazon's future isn't looking prosperous, but they control the APIs, the commission/royalty fees, etc. Whose to say 10 years from now, they wake up and say, you know, Alexa isn't financially viable anymore, your hardware has no site to connect to, and Alexa just shows the red loop/line of doom?

Yeah, eventually I'd love to be able to do scripting etc, but it's dramatically more complicated.

There's the language debate to start with. E.g. Fiddler uses JScript.NET, which isn't exactly the language of choice nowadays. Realistically whatever language you choose, you have some big problems. Different groups want different tools, some want external packages, some want data stores, it's a whole thing.

It's a good point though, and I'd love to solve it. I've added an issue to my feedback repo to look at it: https://github.com/httptoolkit/feedback/issues/37. If you've got a minute, could you comment there and record the kind of scripts you'd like to write?

I'm not really sure what emulating internal authenticating proxies means in practice, for example. Are you rewriting requests to inject auth params, or validating outgoing requests, or something else?

Which is not a social medium (except in the sense that you can communicate with other people there).

The "Mini-14 Ranch Rifle" designation is well over 30-40 years old at this point. The fact that they now have a "Tactical" model is just marketing. The scope mounts clamp onto the receiver for all models BUT the "Tactical Model #5846" has some weaver rails on it.

How to Buy Clothes That Are Built to Last
You realize there multiple working examples of a national healthcare plan right? Including one very obvious example to our northern border. You're arguing like this is some huge open ended problem like climate change.

Almost every developed country has a national system that provides excellent care for far more reasonable costs. Except the US, of course.

I'm starting to realize why America will never get its shit together. Too many people without facts in the debate, believing they are correct, without any evidence at all.
I've lived in places that were cold for a decent period each year and I wasn't wearing gloves all the time. Even 2-3% of my time would be a stretch.

Even in cold countries we spend ~90% of our time inside and much of the ~10% outside in decent weather. The average American spends 7% of their day outside with some obvious outliers push that upwards. The world average is 87% inside. [1]

Plenty of products are only used a few times a day. I don't think the downtime spent walking around outside shopping or commuting is the killer.

The question is are there enough of those uses to justify wearing it all the time. Not if it works in 100% of situations.
