But... it’s not your shared idea.

It’s their idea, and the company didn’t have a process in place to let them present it except through your consulting engagement. Sure, if it’s a good outcome for the employee to work with you to get things implemented fine, but it still stings a bit that someone from the outside was trusted more than an invested employee before any traction occurred.

Obamacare bronze is useless for someone super poor. Even the HMO Obamacare plans like kaiser charge $100 dollar copays for a doctors visit, which is clearly out of reach for someone like this.

Sadly, I think the most cost effective approach is often not to use insurance at all but instead go to the free / community clinics which could provide a subset of care at a lower price.

I meant that C suite folks see McKinsey Directors as people at their level of judgement and skill who they can talk to in an open and honest manner to get advice. I’m not saying this is good/bad or right/wrong. Lots of CEOs want a consigliere with good advice who is on their side and that’s what they pay to get with a Director.

I think it's worth pointing it out to the author so in the future they can use different terminology that doesn't conflict with existing usage in software development. Some collision in terminology is inevitable, but it's nice to avoid if possible.

I mean, even though I've never done real-time programming and probably never will, I don't treat the term as up for grabs. I like that I know what "real-time" means when I hear it, so I (e.g.) gently steer coworkers towards different terminology every time they try to label something we do "real time."
Correction: I said that it got pulled, but as I recall they updated the article to reflect the inaccuracy in the original piece.
"Here in California, insanely high levels of mercury have been found in cougars and mountain lions in the mountains between Santa Cruz and the Bay Area"

That area is on top of a mercury mine - there's a reason it's called "Almaden Quicksilver County Park", because the primary economic activity before it became a preserve was mercury mining. The southern Santa Cruz mountains sits on top of a massive mercury deposit.

I'd really like to see the evidence that it's because of the fog. When you have pervasive elevated mercury levels throughout the food chain in an area that's a natural mercury deposit, the obvious explanation is that animals, plants, and fungi are picking it up from the soil, rather than it's being wafted in through the fog. (Mercury is quite heavy and isn't soluble in water, so the idea that the fog somehow wafts it in strikes me as bullshit.)

I don't get this. Small personal website are not going to pay money. Business websites in general will not leave GA and not because of the analytical aspect but because of the integrations. Businesses use Google Ads, GA ties in closely with Ads. Then you connect to Data Studio for your dashboards. And deploy through GTM. It's a whole eco system that's hard to replace by a single piece of software. As much as I'd love to stick it to Google as a person responsible for a business site I can't afford it.

It's funny, because Brendan Eich catches a lot of flack for having donated money to oppose gay marriage, but the name "Brave" is one that can only attract a user population comprised solely of total homosexuals.

Like, as in being "Brave" enough to come out of the closet and live a life as an openly gay male, like Kevin Spacey.

Based on this, you can expect, and it is my prediction, that Brave will only ever appeal to roughly one tenth the population, with another tenth curious and experimenting, but never fully adopting a "Brave" lifestyle.

Instead your buy a beat up old Camry, which was in poor maintenance condition, and keeps breaking down, so pretty soon you have to to either replace it or repair it, and that's not cheap, so you go to the cheapest options available, and because of that, those burn out sooner too, and the cycle continues.

Regardless of the hit it would take to your social status, you CAN choose to opt out of a rich neighbourhood or a rich car, if you need a car, you can't opt out of that choice. There's nowhere to opt out to.

You could LogStash your logs into ElasticSearch and then view them with Kibana. The ole ELK stack.
You picked a perfect example where it seems bad, but consider an opposite one:

Now:

$12,000 a year + $12,000 in benefits = $24,000

$24,000 a year + $0 in benefits = $24,000

$50,000 a year + $0 in benefits = $50,000

UBI:

$12,000 a year + $12,000 in UBI = $24,000

$24,000 a year + $12,000 in benefits = $36,000

$50,000 a year + $12,000 in UBI = $62,000

Also keep in mind that the more well off people will end up paying more VAT because they spend more. VAT can also be tweaked to not tax on necessities like basic groceries/etc.
GSA gets a cut of contract purchases that go through them but this makes sense because it incentivized them to be better alternatives than an agency’s own contract shops. Typically working through a GSA schedule like this can lead to faster turnaround and lower prices - nobody can charge the government more than their best commercial customer, legally, under this framework. If you don’t get value, put your own RFP on the street.

The incentive to get more dollars if you get more under management as a contract-service-provider does make sense. They’re not a monopoly on procurement in government, despite the author writing a book about monopolies.

Note: in some cases they have monopolies on some things in government, but not procurement.

No, there's nothing like super generic about it.

Google has a de facto monopoly on site rankings, which gives it de facto editorial control over the content of the Internet down to a very fine level.

If Google decides to drop a site from search, that site loses traffic and is effectively removed from visibility.

This is not a user choice. Users do not to get to say "Well, that site is too slow for me, so I won't visit it again. And actually I don't like the content either."

It's not a site owner choice. Owners can't respond to user preferences by improving performance or offering different content.

It's a Google choice. And the reasons for Google's choices are typically opaque, largely unstated, and never negotiated directly with site owners.

It's absolutely unacceptable for a single unaccountable corporation to have this level level of control over global information infrastructure.

In fact the whole idea of generic but opaque site ranking is toxic to an open Internet, and always has been. The idea that page rank has some kind of objective user value - as opposed to monopoly value - has always been debatable.

It was tolerable conceit in the days of Alta Vista when search was a research project, and some level of good faith was assumed.

But Google has trashed that good faith by operating like a bad actor - and monopolist - in numerous ways, AMP being the most recent example.

So no - not generic. Not even close.
true, if tech is the only goal. but I would choose to be lower tech in this case. But perhaps my choices would affect those who might come after me... (That too is both ways though).

Some might bring up all the medical advances that came out of the tortures and "studies" from Japan and Nazi Germany. Certainly many advances were made... My friend once told me that there are certain medical "study" records available that US researchers reference from WW2 in Japanese records.

Or try the converse, in the UK almost all foreign language content is still dubbed.

Then for foreign language (French and German) classes in state schools in England around 1975 onwards:

We'd often have around 30 pupils.
Time was spend on learning vocabulary and set phrases, but mainly in the written form.
This would be from around age 10 (French) or 13 (German).
It was the first exposure to grammar concepts (verb, noun, etc).
Little time was spent on speaking the languages.

At the end of this most of us we still incapable to speaking the foreign language, let alone being literate in them!

There is no particular reason to believe that increases in costs would exactly match the benefits granted leaving you 1000 dollars poorer even if ssdi income was better than ubi. Furthermore ubi would not be negatively effected by a spouse earning money in a way that actually punishes families for working nor would it require suing the government for 5-10 years while they pretend your family member isn't disabled.

On net the only people who come off worse are unmarried individuals receiving ssdi who are too young for social security retirement income.

Average ssdi income is around 1200 10 million people are on ssdi aprox 6 million under 65 45% in the overall US population are unmarried.

One could reasonably suppose at least 2-3 million out of 327 million will make no more money and will see slightly to somewhat higher costs. This could be corrected by cola.

In comparison the bottom 25% is 82 million strong and will benefit substantially as will the next quartile to a lesser extent another 82 millions

IIRC, when I studied biology in secondary school and as a freshman in college, it was believed that gametes were completely isolated and untouchable by viral infections. Turns out this is not true. But if you believe that gametes are incredibly fragile, I can see how it would be easy to believe this as otherwise you'd expect to see mutants everywhere.

Not all businesses use ads or data studio though. Those folks are looking for quick and easy stats they can use to run their business, like what content is popular, what referrals are driving traffic. And, if they're a business, they are making money, and at least some can afford to pay for expenses like website analytics. Like all software, it's not for everyone in every situation, but it is for certain folks in certain situations.

This has not been my experience as a consumer trying to buy 18650 batteries for my 3.3V ESP-8266 projects. Is there a good place to buy these? Searching Amazon for them shows me tons of AA and AAA batteries but no actual 18650's. In the past couple years, the price has gone up for me and the availability down.

Are there better options? I've read about 26650's but I have never tried them. Do they last longer? Are they safer? Can I charge them in my NiteCore charger that works great for 18650's?

How can a consumer/tinkerer wanting to scale up production take advantage of these options? The prices may have gone down at Tesla scale, but not at consumer scale.
> In my opinion, a significant amount of irresponsible and incompetent driving stems from the early failures in parents teaching their kids properly.

> Augment the new mandatory classes with virtual reality lessons. The VR headsets will ostensibly drill driving skills before they're practiced in a real vehicle.

Driving in VR is not a good idea because of motion sickness. VR works great for games where your movement in the game world matches the real world (Job Simulator, Beat Saber, etc.), but any game that involves being in a moving vehicle (MS Flight Simulator, any racing game) is a 1-way ticket to nausea. I've got over 200 hours of gameplay in my Vive and still tend to avoid the racing games despite how fun they are because of this.

That all said, classes should absolutely be mandatory. They shouldn't just teach general driving habits, but give hands-on experience in emergency maneuvers. Make them have to suddenly avoid an obstacle at 60 mph on wet pavement. If possible, make them try it in both a large SUV and a compact sedan or coupe, ideally without stability/traction control, so they can learn to appreciate the better handling of a smaller car and not jump to an SUV under the illusion that they're safer.

In climates that get any amount of snow, emergency braking from both 30 mph and 60 mph should be attempted, not to mention practice turning. It's ridiculous that anybody acts like it's business as normal when driving in snow.
