Yes, I forgot about that. But generally, since the expected cost of one's healthcare remains the same regardless of what kind of insurance plan they choose, the difference in premiums for a high deductible and low deductible plan is just the present value of the expected additional costs the insurance company has to pay because of the low deductible.

In other words, you can pay more via a higher monthly premium now, and pay less when you pay for the healthcare. Or pay less for the premium now, and pay more when you pay for the healthcare. Otherwise, the insurance company wouldn't be in business for long.

The difference is who gets to keep the investment earnings from the savings kept until you need healthcare.

It might be different now, but I actually found my music degree a net positive in terms of getting computer jobs. It's probably only true when the job market is hot, but hiring people tend to respond well - I've gotten lots of comments from people over the years indicating they've seen a good correlation between being a musician and being a good programmer.
On paper, this is not really wrong. You can't force a shop owner to sell his products to you if he doesn't want to. Similarly, I just don't have the rights in forcing you to sell your house to me. I'm sure services like Netflix or Disney Plus are probably still not available in some countries. If you visit their website from those places, you would likely get a service denial message. It's within Google's rights to offer/withdraw their services to any places they wish.

Having said that, maybe there was a better solution they could have implemented instead. Something like this should only be the very last choice on the list after exhausting all other options.

India is a secular country. Why is there any mention of religion at all? And, other neighboring islamic countries don't give citizenship automatically if you are Muslim.

> This Bill is applicable only for illegal immigrants(It has got nothing to do with Indian Citizens), If somebody wants to come to India legally, they can come.

Everyone has to prove their citizenship in NRC. The requirements for NRC is ridiculous. Producing documents dating back to 1971. Landless, poor people, people from flood prone areas, tribals and other disenfranchised communities will have tough time producing documents. Only Muslims can not get citizenship through CAA, if they fail to get into NRC. And, what will be the proof of religion? What will happen to Atheists? Does it mean that you either become Hindu or leave country.

Health care in the US is expensive because the bad players are the insurance industry. It’s just a huge middleman that doesn’t need to exist, and yet it consistently makes record profits.

You’ll run into hurdles when you try to bypass this layer because big insurance execs won’t be happy when they don’t get their cut. Then there’s all the people working for them that will be unemployed. But we just need to bite the bullet and remove the industry completely.

When peoples’ health is at risk, there can’t be a notion of profit involved to get in the way of availability of treatment.

Key exchange for IoT devices is a tricky problem.

IoT devices don't support public key infrastructure, e.g. something like GnuPG or the SSL certificates used by web browsers.

It's a very practical solution to have a shared secret between the device and a central server, and, at registration time, have the central server make a key for both the hub and the device.

Without some kind of key exchange, people could set off your alarm, turn on your lights, open your door...

That's a tall order in a 100k LOC app, for a small team with budget constraints. I'm pretty sure they couldn't do it your way, whereas the prelayered way set them up for a success.

The fact they'd even need to have to try to get the Congolese army to enforce what happens on their own mine property says a lot about the problem.

It's largely just a security problem. But I'm sure the activists don't want violent military guys pushing off the pirate mines.

The other question is the pipelines that purchase from the 'artisanal' mines. Those people could be targeted and better regulated.

But as we've seen in the diamond and gold industries that's been a very hard thing to do in African countries without stable governments or strong incentives to stop them.

If the goal is to actually stop it and not some vindictive pursuit of western companies who people want to take all of the blame, then upping security and oversight of the mines with financial goals and on-sight oversight teams to measure progress. Plus some financial incentives to the various players to reports the dangerous supply lines which are using kids, so it's not putting a poor person between having something and total poverty out for some moral purpose which they will disregard.

Hi @mmgutz,

Thanks for linking these other projects - I'm going to add a section in my README linking to other projects that people might find useful for their various use cases.

Go-task feels like a build tool and not really a general task runner.

Looks like Just brings a lot of similar features and I will definitely be looking into it deeper. However it still touts itself a build-tool at heart.

Run is NOT trying to be a build tool - It wants to be a script/wrapper manager and so the feature set is trying to optimize for that.

Thanks for the question - I hope that helps - Please let me know if you have any other questions or comments.

BTW: Can you link to your "own personal task runner" ? I'd love to see it and others might find it useful, too.
Lots of things are entirely possible; many fewer have any tangible evidence that they actually happened.
Exactly. This is why when you double-click on an arbitrary app you downloaded on macOS, there is no “yes” button. You have to bypass the protection by right-clicking on the app or by changing system settings.

This is also why if you access a website with a self-signed certificate, the browser will not give you a “yes” button to go through. You have to jump through a few hoops somewhere else (depending on browser) to accept the self-signed certificate, and then you can see the site.

I think this is the right choice!

Judge Ellis said: "For Wikimedia to litigate the standing issue further, and for defendants to defend adequately in any further litigation, would require the disclosure of protected state secrets, namely details about the Upstream surveillance program's operations. For the reasons that follow, therefore, the standing issue cannot be tried, or otherwise further litigated, without risking or requiring harmful disclosures of privileged state secrets, an outcome prohibited under binding Supreme Court and Fourth Circuit precedent.

"Thus, the case must be dismissed, and judgment must be entered in favor of defendants."

Ellis is a traitor in the legal sense of the word, and (though it's been obvious for a while) the court systems are broken.

Formerly, Ellis has similarly sided with the CIA against Khalid El-Masri, a man who was "allegedly" tortured by the CIA, despite being fully aware justice wasn't being dealt. To quote him:

"If El-Masri's allegations are true or essentially true, then all fair-minded people, including those who believe that state secrets must be protected, that this lawsuit cannot proceed, and that renditions are a necessary step to take in this war, must also agree that El-Masri has suffered injuries as a result of our country's mistake and deserves a remedy."

Sheep Logic (2017)
The simplified method: Take a guitar and transpose each mode to E. So start with Phrygian since it's natrual key is E. But then transpose Dorian from D down to E. Forget the key. Just learn the modes but from E. THEN, make up chords for each note of each mode. For example, for Mixolydian you can make E, F#m, A, Bm, C#m and D (and a weird G# - there's always a weird chord). Once you memorize the 7 modes, you can deconstruct pretty much any song. Fool around playing chords of a mode and you'll start to hear familiar note patterns. Switch modes (especially for the "weird" chord) and things get very interesting. You don't even have to learn all of the modes. I used 4-5 almost exclusively. Of course it does create a communication problem if you normalize everything to 5 modes and de-emphasize the key.

I would speculate that as this regulation dodge vehicle is being increasingly needed to be invoked, that means that the regulation is being skirted to a higher degree than in the past.

Since the regulation was introduced to reign in irresponsible freewheeling and extreme risk taking by banks, the logical conclusion must be that the banks despite the regulation that was intended to keep them into a position that was in line with their public responsibility are at it again.

Yet they apparently have huge backing from the public.

When I try debating the problem with people they get extremely angry with me when I mention that the farmers are:

a) Entirely responsible for the problem.
b) Largely capable of fixing the problem.
c) Relatively rich. Agricultural land is VERY valuable here.
d) They are actively destroying our planet and country.

It's pure insanity.

You have rich business men who have invested in quadrupling their farming capacity (and now have problems with their loans) demanding that the government bail them out, or they'll ghost ride along the motorway (which they did this afternoon on my local motorway). Or they'll block the supermarket distribution centers for Xmas.

If I wasn't alone I'd love to protest at a few hundred of the farms here in the region, see how they like it when we block their commerce. We can import food from Germany, their businesses wouldn't last half a year if they can't ship anything.
