I certainly hope it’s not cede all control in one swoop to a couple of rich guys who think they know what’s best for everyone.

Im all for experimenting. I’m not for handing over local legal power to a corporation in one fell swoop because they promise to pay for my taxi as long as I’m in their good books.

No—the immediacy and totality they’re pursuing is the thing that bothers me. Little compromise seems to be offered. They seem to think like vey corporations do—they should be able to “just buy it”. I don’t like that. Not everything is for sale.
If you have two pipelines you still have a von Neumann architecture. The core principle of the von Neumann architecture isn't how many buses you have and what restrictions you apply to them. The point is that you separate the processing element from the memory and connect the two over a bus which then causes you to suffer from the downsides of having a bus.

It seems like it is not health insurance, but more of a health scam, if you can be dropped when if they find out you really need the money to pay for "complications."
The 320neo is the most suitable comparison to the 737-800 given they respectively top out at 195 and 189 passengers.

The 321neo carries up to 240, even the 737-900 ER is left behind (220), though the 321 is longer than the -900 by quite a bit 44.5m to 42).
> You aren’t allowed to harm yourself. You could argue that you should but under current laws we protect people from that, mostly.

There is a law against committing suicide, but there aren't any laws about harming yourself. If there were, sugar intake would be regulated and alcohol would be banned. You also don't get arrested if you intentionally cut yourself.

> their oath would mandate we are certain this procedure isn’t causing harm

That's not what the oath means, and you can see plenty examples of this in practice. Many procedures cause harm and the question is whether or not the harm caused by the procedure outweighs the harm done by not doing the surgery.
I think many people are just burnt out by false early stage startup promises and all of the grifting that takes place in this industry. I wouldn’t think this sort of reception would have happened in 2012.
Plenty of engineering graduates can’t engineer, and go into management after a couple of years. Likely he fell into that category.
If Chinese companies have access to billions of images and that's a million times more than their Western counterparts, Western companies are limited to small datasets in the thousands. That doesn't make sense. Microsoft used to hand out the millions of images in their Celeb dataset for free, and Facebook can use every image their users ever posted.

It is also a little bit more complex than that because, of course, by cost means you underweight the size of the public sector which typically pays far lower prices. As an outside observer, charging the private sector more is a smart way of subsidising the public sector.

(No-one seems to have actually read the article, it says that her insurer would have paid ~$650 if the lab wasn't one owned by the doctor she saw...and, if I understood correctly, the doctor also did a whole bunch of totally unnecessary testing...this looks a bit like plain ol corruption).
Why would this be different under socialized medicine? A doctor can lie to a government agency as easily as lying to a private company.
I've been listening to a lot of entertainment/comedy podcasts in 2019. I don't know if they're the "Best of 2019" but they're some of my faves.

The Joe Rogan Experience (Joe Rogan)
https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-joe-rogan-experien...
Love him or hate him, Joe consistently gets some fascinating guests on his podcast, and he isn't afraid of getting into some deep topics with some of most brilliant minds out there.

Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend (Conan O'Brien)
https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/conan-obrien-needs-a-f...
I'm a recent convert to this podcast, but I've had a lot of fun listening to it over the last few weeks. It's typical Conan, but in podcast form, so if you're a fan then this one is a no brainer.

Andrea Savage: Grown Up Woman #buttholes (Andrea Savage)
https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/andrea-savage-a-grown-...
Yes, that's the title, including the hashtag. If raw, often awkward (on purpose?!), and sarcastic humor is your jam then you'll feel right at home with this podcast. I've always thought Andrea Savage was an under-rated comic performer, and so happy she's got a new podcast and TV show (have you seen "I'm Sorry" yet?!).

Id10t (Chris Hardwick)
https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/id10t-with-chris-hardw...
I've always enjoyed Chris and his goofball sense of humor. He's about as affable a podcast host as you could ask for, and he brings a lot of insight into all things nerdy and geeky.

WTF with Marc Maron (Marc Maron)
https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wtf-with-marc-maron-po...
Marc gets deep with his guests, and sometimes he gets a bit too angsty, but it is what it is and he is what he is. He's got interesting guests from the all over the map (TV, the art work, and lots and lots of musicians), and he's the only podcaster I know of to have ANY President of the United States to visit and chat, so he's got that going for him.

Inside of You (Michael Rosenbaum)
https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/inside-of-you-with-mic...
Smallville's Lex Luthor (among other things) brings all the realness to his podcast, which more often than not prompts his guests to do the same. Whether it's how the set of Guardians of the Galaxy was or what it's like in a mental health retreat (and anywhere in between), there's something for everyone.

Office Ladies (Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey)
https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/office-ladies/id148031...
Fan of The Office? Perfect! Pam and Angela, or rather their real-life human counterparts, discuss each episode of the The Office from start to finish and give behind the scenes details, have special guests (cast and crew), and more.

The Comedy Store Podcast (Eleanor Kerrigan and Rick Ingraham)
https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-comedy-store-podca...
From the World Famous Comedy Store in Los Angeles comes an unfiltered view into the lives of current and past stand-up comics, from all levels of fame. If you want all the comedy gossip from the folks who were there, this is the podcast to listen to.

I just transited Alice Springs airport on my way to Melbourne yesterday. I noticed that the new 'boneyard' in the desert next to the airport had a bunch of brand new Singaporean SilkAir 737-MAX8's parked there in 'mothball' condition [0].

One of my first thoughts was: "Who is paying for that?" - the transport cost and decommissioning of those aircraft, the loss of revenue, the leasing of alternative aircraft to replace them, etc.? Short answer is that I am pretty sure SilkAir will be suing Boeing for all costs, as would most other operators of the 737-MAX. I don't see Boeing's commercial aircraft division surviving something like this.

Articles like this irritate me more than anything else. Why? The ENTIRE paradigm is based on $. Article could just as easily have been written as "Working for Microsoft allowed me to be a better father".

And strange a VC would invest in a (very socialist) statement as "Google's pure profit per employee is actually $1.6 million per year, after all costs.": easy buy in, very low practical value. There are very tangible reasons for wage differences.
By way of comparison, that exact same throat swab test - which some professor was trying to say was excessive - is available at no charge to the patient in Australia, and there are no 'out of network' labs.

I don't know how this nonsense isn't the number one election issue in the USA. Instead everyone just puts up with it.
Only if the safe deployment order is always the same. In any typical server-client deployment, breaking changes can go in either direction, and which one you can deploy first requires some thought. I've seen 3- or 4-stage deployments for some back-and-forth changes.

In my experience, you're required to break changes up into safe individual deployments anyways, so the monorepo doesn't add any benefit in that sense.
Socialize what part of healthcare? Canada generally doesn’t have socialized healthcare providers, only socialized insurance. So providers could still engage in these sorts of billing practices in the Canadian system. Conversely, whatever rules prevent such billing practices in Canada could be applied in the US without socializing anything.

The concept of “socializing the health system” papers over the really important issues. Countries with universal healthcare don’t actually have a uniform system. They all have quite different systems. The Netherlands, for example has private insurance and private providers. The U.K. has no insurance and public providers (doctors work for the government). Other countries have various things in between. Single payer, like Canada has, isn’t even the most common system. Overlooking these distinctions means you may not fix the relevant problems. You can “socialize” insurance, but if you don’t impose controls on billing it’ll just be a different entity being overcharged.
Democrat != progressive. Just sayin'.

Progressive test is: Pro Single-payer. Pro billionaire tax. Pro free community college. Against insane military complex budgets.

I mean, I'd rather him succeed ONLY if it keeps Koch's in check, but don't call it progressive unless it actually brings us something progressive like Bernie Sanders, which I doubt it will - at least in the short term.

I mean Bloomberg till recently was an independent, and not a super progressive one at that. Unless he's turning progressive because that's where the 'youth' is, and he's following trends because there's money in that, which if there's money in being progressive I'm all for cashing out on it to bring about progressive means.
You have to be an engineer to understand safety. We're talking about world-leading aerospace engineering, not producing some SaaS product. You need someone that understand the technology involved better than anyone else in the industry.
The content and tone of the comments replying to you are making your point so hard right now. To me it really demonstrates how trigger-happy people are with certain concepts. If any opportunity presents itself, however tenuous it may be, to "own" someone on the other side, it MUST be taken! The gods of cortisol must be satisfied at all times.
The point is - in case that isn't clear yet - that both Obamacare and whatever is the current flavor of the month are both absolutely terrible for the voters and yet they continue to self-flagellate in spite of there being many examples of properly run healthcare systems.
Our current system puts a huge time burden on healthcare "consumers" despite being vastly more expensive than any remotely similarly-effective system. This time burden falls largely, though not entirely, on the sick and their families. It's straight-up inhumane, given it's clearly not necessary.
This is a weird future though. Its not about the issues, its about who has better targeting. That's it.

And if both sides have equally good targeting, the result is an even split of the populations attention.
No one wins.

Second.

The Taycan release looks very promising.

Porsche seems poised to eat the majority of profits from this space with the Taycan.

There's not a lot of money to be made selling baseline Model 3s. And Toyota & Honda et al will soon be coming for the entry level space.

Tesla seems like they'll be around for the long haul. But it doesn't seem like they're going to be highly profitable with a small market share like Porsche or Mercedes. It also doesn't seem like they're going to be the next Toyota.

But my crystal ball isn't working. I have no idea what will happen.

> If you're hoping to make $200 million, don't bother

... And unless you’re IC number 1, you’re not going to make more than a million bucks even in the best case as well, which makes the risk/rewards ratio higher.
> I saw only one case of physical bullying in 24 years of school. I was never bullied, perhaps being too tall and too willing to engage people in conversation.

Yes, being a tall extravert will discourage bullying. I was 4'8" when I started 7th grade, but 5'10" when I started 9th grade, so I saw the difference rather drastically. (FWIW I was personally physically bullied well more than the one time you witnessed, and I was nowhere near the most bullied kid in school).

From your experience, associating schooling with bullying is probably foreign. From my experience, I can't imagine anyone going through school without witnessing more than one act of physical bullying, because all forms of bullying were so omnipresent. Perhaps the term "Umwelt" applies here.

As physical bullying has become less socially accepted, the harms of non-physical bullying may have surpassed the harms of physical bullying today. I know many kids who were driven to self-harm from non-physical bullying. There was a teacher who would bully certain students causing them to drop out of the advanced math track (she was the only HS teacher teaching the 10th grade requirement for the track).

> >" putting your hand in it[fire] for 20 years"?

> Sorry, bad metaphor, too extreme. Nobody can do or imagine doing that.

I think, for some kids, it's not too much of an exaggeration, which is exactly why many kids drop out of school. I have heard stories of (and personally witnessed one) bullied kids jumping out of moving vehicles to avoid going to school.

I think for most kids, public schooling is "okay" for some it's great, but for many others, calling it institutionalized torture is not much of a stretch.
While perhaps pedantically true, he just said he’s got RSUs and certainly he’s got a 401k and probably other savings if he’s making 300k a year.

You could look at my bank balance and make the claim that I’m “negative net worth” too, but it wouldn’t be accurate because that bank balance doesn’t tell the whole story.
We are off topic but I'd like to answer your question.

It's increasingly become an issue in the public space because local governments are increasingly getting involved with this issue. Dissidents may believe that governmental power is being misused to further a harmful ideology and to push unproven and ill-advised treatments on children.
This is something I've observed personally, especially with running and mountain biking.

It had me pondering if perhaps humans evolved to become smarter in response to these frequent physical stressors. Like if we find ourselves regularly having to outrun predators and/or chasing prey to survive, it would probably be advantageous to grow smarter and depend less on endurance and speed.

So I've been taking an attitude that exercise is a faux form of brute-force survival. That the body will respond both by becoming stronger and smarter, as long as it continues experiencing having to run miles regularly to survive.
"For myself I am not against the procedure. I am against allowing children to do so without the consent of their parent. We don't let children drink, drive, or hold employment until certain ages. Yet is is completely fine for them to have life altering changes done to their bodies at very young ages."

Can you cite numbers on where and how often this is occurring?
For one thing it was detected (according to the unclassified releases) as high as 80,000 feet AGL.

There's no design of any type right now that can fly at 80,000 feet AND hover at low altitude, all without airfoils. That is also without accounting for the extremely high-G turns with no airfoils.

If it had been some kind of nuclear ramjet (which wouldn't work at low speeds) there would have been a visible plume of hot gas. There wasn't.
>You're wrong, all drug offenders are political prisoners.

Without any support for that statement, it comes of as...pretty authoritarian. As in you are right and everyone else is wrong.

It also doesn't explain why the country with the most prisons is by definition authoritarian...especially when its supported with an unrelated statement about drug offenders, which is applicable to every other country in the World. It seems you just want to call nations of laws, authoritarian governments, because you know...they have laws.

Of course, for most of that history, the default result of a more technologically advanced culture meeting a more primitive one was the former immediately enslaving or committing genocide against the latter.

And let's be honest, if the Sentinelese were sitting on anything worth killing for, they would be long dead or "civilized" onto a reservation by now.
Yeah, the moral of the story, as far as I can tell, is: 1) make sure to know the kind of person who can write you a $72,000 check as if he was leaving a tip at Starbucks, 2) impress him enough that he’s willing to offer you $200 million when you’re 23.

I see now where I went wrong in my youth.
Bloomberg is clearly extremely competent. Pluralism won't win, determinism will. If you feel it's broken, and you do nothing, you are much lower than a successful person who is attempting to do something.
Deployment ordering at large scale is avoided and usually done by not making breaking changes. 4 phase migrations, always. Roll out new API, update existing software to use new API, wait for everything to stop using old API + backfill, remove old API.
The founders entire job early on is to convince schmucks that they'll be rich if the idea succeeds while simultaneously making sure to give away as little in stock as possible. It takes people like Peter Thiel to pull that off
People regularly oversimplify this problem as socialized vs private healthcare without considering why American healthcare is so broken. If you look carefully at the problems, you see that they won't go away if the government replaces private insurance and expands Medicare for everyone.

These problems include a tremendous shortage of doctors [0]. Even Canada and the UK have more doctors per capita, and they are known for extremely high wait times (the jokes of the socialized medicine countries, so to speak). There are a number of possible reasons for this, most notably the hassle of occupational licensing (12-14 years of expensive college + 'indentured servitude' residency in the US).

Nonetheless, American healthcare science is still ahead of the curve and subsidizes socialized countries -- ~60% of all new drugs between 2001-2010 were invented in the US, and foreign dignitaries of socialized medicine countries often still get important procedures done in the US [1]. It would be interesting to see how the R&D dynamic plays out if America loses its market incentive to innovate in the space, and no other developed countries have the financial incentive left.

> The third reason for the high bill may be the connection between the lab and Kasdan's doctor. Kasdan's bill shows that the lab service was provided by Manhattan Gastroenterology, which has the same phone number and locations as her doctor's office.

They really buried the lede there. This sounds like fraud. She went to her doctor, who, I'm guessing, is in-network since the article says he was her primary care physician. The doctor operates a lab that is not in same network he operates his practice in? Is that some kind of coincidence? Is there any other reason for that except to bilk money out of the insurance company?
This was the obvious conclusion. The experiment is governance, not "governance plus the enormous practical issues of living on the high seas".

I'd guess it's not stable unless you assume all the other trappings of state (like the monopoly on violence) and then you're just some uppity proto-nation practically begging to get subsumed into a more powerful entity.
No it’s not. It’s a huge deal. You’re just not being imaginative enough.
This is about as charitable an interpretation as the one suggesting marriage equality would be a harbinger of bestiality. You can always connect some set of dots from a policy you don't like to some lurid, horrible outcome; there's a well-known rhetorical fallacy that captures this directly.
Putting another accountant in charge is likely going to make for more risks taken at Boeing that don't directly show up in an accountable form on financial spreadsheets. Sounds mundane, but a mathmatician/economist/businessman/politician who can drive quantitative risk accounting forms into operating and SEC reported balance and cashflow reports might save our economy and society. Hasn't happend so far though.
