How would that be more complicated? Setting up a DAF is quite simple.

You'd only have to transfer to one address, rather than collect addresses and transfer to one per charity (many of whom probably have to set up wallets). You only have one tax receipt, rather than one receipt per charity. It's slighty-to-massively simpler for the recipient, and it's much simpler for the donor.
There are screenshots (though not animations!) in the announcement for darktable 3.0 at https://discuss.pixls.us/t/darktable-3-0/15384. The images do really help to get a sense of the new features. It's a good point that it would be great to have such images accompanying the release announcement on the main darktable site.
Right. That's the stated policy, for jobs that pay a few thousand dollars a year short, at full time, of making a bare-bones life affordable. So for those who have to have a second job, or who rely on inadequate public transportation, or who are at the whims of supervisors who don't observe policy, that is a major problem.

Compared to the average job back several decades ago (for a large part of the post war period).

Of course most people, being less talented than us, are lesser humans, and so deserve to have crappier jobs, hours, pay, and lives. (Well, not really, but probably many think that way. They might not say the "lesser humans" part out loud, but they're OK with people having lesser jobs and worse conditions for them and their kids, even if they work harder than them -let them eat cake and work smarter, they'd say-. They're OK as long as its not them of course).

> Just off the top of my head: Virtually every American with health insurance can get flu shots for free, paid for by their insurance carrier. Ditto for women who want birth control pills (though that is usually a legislative mandate).

These tend to make financial sense for insurers - flu shots are cheap and a lot cheaper than hospitalizations, same thing for avoiding pregnancy... and even then, both were explicitly made free via the ACA, not the kindness of health insurers.

These aren't the sorts of claims insurers kick up a fuss over.
Yikes. Was kinda hoping to see it just be an NFC sticker you have to slap on your drone after registration, but this reads like they want an active radio and per-flight generated IDs, the devices need internet connections and all kinds of business that precludes entire categories of lightweight UASes. This is definitely going to be stifling to the market if it's enforced in the slightest.

It also rules out using ADS-B on drone aircraft entirely, which is a bit perplexing.
Ideally, I do.

The tools that are needed here would provide the ability for each of us to screen out whatever we don't care to see, whether it be racist speech or just people that won't shut up about crossfit.

Not yet. Most of the stuff I've done is internal to my company unfortunately. But just to give you an idea, if I were adding a new configuration parameter to our IoT device, I would add an object to a JSON array that looks like this:

{
"name": "backoff_mode",
"group": "telemetry",
"description": "We don't want to clog up networks with tons of failing attempts to send home telemetry. This parameter configures the device to back off attempts according to the specified mode",
"cpptype": "std::string",
"enum": ["none", "linear", "exponential"],
"default_value": "exponential"
}

At build time, a few things are generated, including a .h file with the following:

struct telemetry_config {
...
std::string backoff_mode = "exponential"; //Possible values: ["none", "linear", "exponential"]
};

The boilerplate for getting and setting this parameter is also generated. Thus, just by adding that simple piece of metadata, all the boilerplate and documentation is generated and you as the developer can focus on the actual logic that needs to be implemented regarding this parameter.
Standard remote identification UAS would be required to broadcast identification and
location information directly from the unmanned aircraft and simultaneously transmit
that same information to a Remote ID USS through an internet connection. Limited
remote identification UAS would be required to transmit information through the
internet only, with no broadcast requirements; however, the unmanned aircraft would
be designed to operate no more than 400 feet from the control station.

This requires all drones to be internet connected. That's a crazy requirement, and a crazy extra risk.

Speaking as a student who 'grew up' through these classes in highschool and college, I grew to detest them. Collaborative learning is great in a study session environment where everyone is a willing and eager participant by virtue of taking time to study at a certain time and place outside of class requirements.

Make class mandatory and even speaking in discussions mandatory, and you end up with a lot of disengaged and annoyed people reiterating the same points just to get the participation grade up. To me that isn't a quality discussion, and therefore a waste of my time and tuition. People rarely get to the meat of a concept in those discussions, if at all, without the teacher jumping in and spelling out the entire point. IMO, better to just lecture and spell out more points, and leave the discussions for the optional study or review sessions attended by the most motivated students.

I imagine so. It is quite easy to test.

These classes end up feeling unproductive for me. By mandating attendance and contribution, you end up getting the entire class raising their hand to reiterate the same point and get their participation mark for the day. People who are actually engaged with the material enough to formulate a new point are stifled. By the end of class only maybe 10% of the discussion ends up being worthy, the rest a waste by this middle school participation exercise that rewards noise and length equally to a well worded argument.
In my Web programming class in college, our final project was to make use of everything we learned to create a website. In class we didn't get past chapter 9. I however, read and completed all chapters. I made use of Ajax and a webserver which was only taught in chapter 12.

Fast forward two years, the teacher is trying to run the project to showcase an example project her students can do. She can't run it. She remembered it being a great project, but now for some reason some parts won't work.

I get a call to come help them. I dust up the old project, edit it, and get it running in front of the whole class. "What was the issue?" She asks.

"I used a webserver, now I hardcoded all the data since it's just a demo"

"Oh, so you guys cheated?"

Long story short, I was threatened to get my grade revoked, but because I have made things right I was forgiven.

As far as school is concerned, I cheated.

I figured it was cheap because everything is cheap there and no one there could afford it otherwise, not because of government insurance. But if I go to Australia, Canada, UK, or any other country, how do I get access to this cheap healthcare without becoming a citizen or paying taxes? Do I qualify just by nature of being there with a valid visa?

10 Investing Questions Everyone Should Consider (Checklist)
iirc, the calling number is reported from the calling device, not the service provider.

I remember playing around with that on my rooted Android phone years ago (around Android 2.0-2.2) in germany.

It would probably be possible to discard this information from the client and overwrite it as the service provider, but they weren't doing that at least back then. It would also be costly (like a MitM proxy overwriting headers)

That was around 10yrs ago though. Might have changed by now.

I think your points are fair. Sample size for their analysis was about 100 drugs. FDA approves about 25 per year.

My main point is that drug development is more expensive than most realize. Beyond R&D, a lot of that cost is in postmarketing (after approval) safety studies and surveillance- to catch side effects not observed in clinical trials. This process can be made somewhat more efficient as you suggested, but at the end of the day a human is reviewing every side effect report and reporting those back to regulatory agencies etc.

I am not qualified to discuss the economics re: your point on pharma r&d - drug discovery is it’s own thing aside from actual drug development.
I'm curious about how dramatically this will affect the price of drones. I did a skim-read of the PDF but couldn't find specifics about what size of craft/properties of the craft this would apply to.

Would it apply to the little hand-held $14 thing that was used for exactly one hour on Christmas before it was destroyed?

Even outside of the "disposable/toy" market -- Amazon has a number of $100-$200 drones that are quite capable, with video/GPS and a lot of the features that would have been found only on $1000 drones a couple of years ago. Adding regulation[0] greatly affects hobbiest builders. I'm going to avoid tinkering around with things that could result in me having to explain myself to a judge. And it affects the target market for these $100/$200 drones. Do I want to go through the trouble of ensuring I'm not violating a hundred-page rule just "for my own entertainment"?

I'm not saying the regulation isn't needed. Frankly, I haven't spent time understanding the problem well enough to make that determination. I'm just wondering how well this balances preventing a drone-related catastrophe against the harm it will cause to the overall sector.

This seems related to the political question of how much healthcare costs should be socialized, i.e. spread across a group rather than shouldered by individuals.

As someone who doesn't smoke, barely drinks alcohol, doesn't take illegal drugs, and (I hope) is in a lifelong-monogamous relationship, I hate having to cover healthcare costs specific to those problems.

On the other hand, as someone with chronic mild obesity, I'm grateful for government-funded research for treatments of hypertension, stroke, idiopathic cancer, etc. And to some extent I could, if motivated enough, keep my bodyweight down.

I guess there are two issues then. The politics of shared costs/benefits, and attending my personal struggles with only being empathetic to problems that I myself experience.
This article probably applies to a group of people. It certainly does not apply to me. For me to be happy, I need to eventually detach from society as people in the tech industry know it, start my own greenhouse (thinking of toying with geothermal), raise my own chickens, produce my own electricity. I am tired of working for others. I am tired of the big burn rate and dependency on others. I have no misconception about money, I will always have to spend some, but happiness for me is just getting away from all the BS that society has created. Don't confuse this with becoming a recluse. I will have like minded friends and socialize with people like me. I've already met a few that share my preferences to detach from the rut.
