My health insurance doesn’t deny everything. The hyperbole of “they deny everything” is just false.
It depends on your plan. If you’re on a HDHP, chances are that prescriptions are not covered until you hit your deductible.
Also, a fair amount of big companies block access to every other storage platform via MITM after they buy OneDrive. Which forces vendors to buy OneDrive to interact with their bigger clients.

How many of these “miracle cures” are developed in the US?
> The free market economy doesn’t work in this case.

While I think this is self evident, it depends on your definition of "working."

If we - a I personally think we should - attach a social caveat to capitalism that requires we do what we can for people less fortunate, it fails miserably because we lack a mechanism for fostering unfettered profit while ensuring healthcare is available to all in a reasonable form. No such mechanism may exist, but I think the problem is we keep trying to shoehorn half measures into the current system and expecting a miracle.

OTOH, my father wouldn’t let me get a driver’s license until I could drive the semi-truck mounted (3 axle) water truck with the 5x4 transmission (20 forward gears, 4 reverse, but you don’t use them all), air brakes (but no brakes on the steering axle), no power steering and about 16 gauges (oil temp for engine, both transmissions, both drive axles, air pressure, oil pressure, water temp, pyrometer, turbo boost, tach, speedometer, voltage, etc.)

The splitter box (the 4 speed) had a reversed pattern from the main box (the 5 speed).

Fully-loaded with 3,000 gallons of water, 500 gallons of diesel and 1,000’ of drill pipe it weighed about 55,000 lbs (GVW).

It was complex for a 16 year-old.
I went through a brief period where I ran out of disks and reformatted all my disks with compressed filesystems to eke out another 300kb of usable disk. Later I went back and tried out a wide variety of compression tools, I preferred .ARJ but I couldn't tell you why today...
However, is this how we get into situations like npm, with everyone using other people's libraries and having so much bloat? Where is the balance if any? I don't have an opinion either way, just putting it out for discussion.
> 3. After they cured so many people, there was a much smaller market (success!). Revenue and margin both dropped a lot: https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/GILD/gilead-scienc....

This seems like a pretty clear example of why looking at revenue and margin like this is not a good way to manage this. Our goal here is clearly to eliminate the market for this product, and everyone ought to chip in to make that happen, not just the people who currently are at risk. The whole funding model is fundamentally broken.

Does this have a racial background like the lower castes in India?

As far as I am informed, Islam not only spread by sword in India but also because it overcame the caste system. I don't understand how people united in their rejection of castes are willing to maintain slavery.

Could it be that Pakistan has many former lower castes members and even after centuries of leaving the caste system behind them, they are unable to overcome their victimhood?

Foreign aid doesn't have to be given to local politicians for them to distribute as they see fit. You can also pay trusted outsiders to do it instead. And the magnitude of repeat payments should probably depend on how much the previous installments helped instead of how bad the situation still is.
>...so we kind of feel like we are contributing to a future problem by using dental insurance, but it’s hard to turn down the savings now.

I agree. It feels awful to make a rational choice in your best interest and to see the mess it can cause at scale. The reason health insurance is such a mess in the US was from a tit-for-tat battle of people operating in a rational way (providers, insurance companies, and drug companies).

Insurance companies have pre-negotiated rates for everything. I didn't like paying for my dental insurance, and asked my dentist what the cost would be for 2 cleanings/year with no insurance. Something like $120/cleaning and another $75 for x-rays periodically. No cash discount because they'd run into legal issues by offering a better rate for non-insured patients.

My insurance is around $10/month. Since I get my teeth cleaned 2x/year, the rational choice is to buy my insurance and realize I breakeven after the first cleaning. But it feels bad. If my dentist is getting $40/cleaning through insurance, I'd rather be able to pay him $45/cleaning and keep insurance out of it all.
Wrong. Gilead made Harvoni. Pharmasset made Sovaldi.

Is there something that’s supposed to be inherently evil in acquiring a company anyway?

Because pharmasset, the smaller company, had forecasted a price of 36000$ for Solvadi. With Gilead buying it out, it was able to reach a third of that price point and that’s a win to me.
I was always aware that there's no relationship. That I'm just selling my life for money. Every moment that I'm not doing the thing that I want to be doing at that moment should better be worth it.

Employer can pay with money or with entertainment. Roleplaying as a "part of family" or "valued employee" can be worth something but never forget it's a game played for your entertainment to balance lower pay. When it's no longer worth for the players, game ends and everybody goes home to barely ever meet again.

Pick employers that offer best sum of pay and entertainment at the lowest cost to your life.
What's the maximum cost of a treatment for a dog versus a human? I don't know the pet/human insurance actuarial values, but I'd guess that a person under regular insurance could reasonably build up a savings to cover pet expenses, not so for US healthcare.
Using a throwaway for obvious reasons.

Like many of you, I'm a young and healthy guy. I haven't taken a sick day in years. Since I'm young and healthy, I didn't see the need to take an annual physical exam. Scheduling doctor's appointments is such a hassle. I'm sure many of you feel the same.

So when I was diagnosed with Hepatitis C, it came as a complete shock to me. The shock was due to two reasons:

1. I wasn't involved in any of the "high risk" activities associated with Hepatitis C, which are intravenous drug use and tattoos.

2. I regularly went to the doctor's when I was a child, so there was at least 20 blood tests done back then. None of tests caught the Hepatitis C back then.

Since Hepatitis C is a chronic condition for most people, if I didn't catch mine early, it would have been found much later in life when all of the damaged has been done. I only caught my Hepatitis C because I wanted to an elective cosmetic medical procedure. It was my own vanity, plus pure luck, that caught it.

When I was a child, I was covered under the government's and my parents' health care plans. When I entered college, I was enrolled under the mandatory student health care plan. After I entered the work force, I was covered under my employer's health care plan. All this health care was fully paid for, either through tax dollars, or my parent's contributions, or my own contributions, and I stupidly chose not to utilize it, because I was young and healthy.

If you don't want to end up like me, then please heed my advice: all of you are under-utilizing the medical services that you have already paid for. You should research what kind of screening and preventive care is included in the health care plan that you purchased and then take full advantage of them. It's better for you since you live longer. It's better for your insurance company since screening and preventive care is much cheaper than paying for treatments down the road. It's better for your government since they get to collect more tax dollars over your longer lifespan. And it's better for me since I make a living using the software and services that you guys provide.

I can stick around and do a AMA if you guys have any questions for me.
Undefined behaviour is a tool to generate faster code, by shifting some burden of correctness to the programmer. For example, accessing past the array size is undefined behaviour. This lets the compiler skip the bounds check, an expensive check+branch on each array access. The trade-off is that now the programmer has to ensure correctness manually (or use an alternative interface that wraps a bounds check) else bad (TM) things will happen.
> The whole funding model is fundamentally broken.

That's a totally reasonable point (and perhaps worth starting a separate top-level reply about), but it's not at all what the GP comment was arguing.
Calculator-in-the-pocket problem. Why learn if we can externalize memory, etc.

Of course application becomes the concern, but can we really be assured that someone who can perform the calculations mentally also knows when best to use them?
Also, IMHO it’s a bit arrogant to believe we know the best traits. Humans are complicated systems. Maybe halfblind, motion sick and paranoid people are better at surviving out there than happy contempt people never bothered when the centrifuge breaks down. Or whatever. I agree that the best brute force test is to just put a lot of people up there and see what happens. The best survivors might not be the obvious candidates.
>Surely there must be some sort of structural reform possible to “the way the world works” to prevent this absurd imbalance.

Yes, it's called redistributing wealth from those that have it, to those that don't. That means people that have large homes, yards, SUVs, vacations requiring flights, give them up, and pour their resources into lifting up those that don't have it. And not just money, but time and effort to educate the uneducated and impoverished, and blood to fight the oppressors.

It's not a realistic goal, hence it's "the way the world works". It does help one appreciate how lucky one is to be born in the right place at the right time.

Drug development is incredibly costly. It's also something of a long term gamble. It can take 10-20 years to develop a new drug. A lot of that time is spent testing safety and waiting for approval. As a drug company, you need to have several new drugs in your pipeline at any given point, or you'll be seriously fucked if one (or more) of your products don't pan out. It's basically a high-risk-high-reward type of gambling situation.

Imagine having thousands of people on payroll, some working on drug design, some designing experiments to test the drugs, some doing the legal paperwork to get drugs approved etc, and suddenly the patent for your best selling drug expires and your latest drug doesn't work. You're pretty much boned.
Sounds like your dad was a lot of fun! I “cheated” my uncle by telling him I already know how to drive and took his stick shift to the neighboring ground to play on my own :)
C has aged liked fine wine with the cork out.
Although you might hire specialist market research firms, market research definitely falls under the remit of the modern marketer’s job.

Market research firms will also regularly supply insights and opinions about positioning, which definitely falls under marketing.

Competitive differentiation is so fundamental to positioning that it doesn’t really make sense to treat them as siloed functions.
iOS has that and it doesn’t require some weird permission granted to a third party such as Google.
Pick the right tool for each job.

C is fantastic for small and very optimized components. If you want it portable, from microcontrolers to GPUs, it is the best choice too.

But if you need rapid prototyping, large scale projects within an organization or some libraries and tools to make the perfect, animated, templated and themed user interface you should think twice before choosing C. Java and .Net are freaking good at database integration and memory allocation/dealocation. Erlang is fantastic for multitasking and multithreading. Ruby on Rails or Python on Django are much better to prototype a website nannying a database.

Polished gatsby site starter for development documentation
The development costs per a Forbes analysis are as follows:

> "The median per-drug R&D spending of companies that developed more than six drugs – that’s only 8 companies – was $5.8 billion."

...so that is $5-6B USD per drug DEVELOPED in large companies.

Gilead - maker of Sovaldi/Harvoni for HepC treatment - has been on a development tear of late, and almost certainly falls into that range IMO [2].

For companies that produce fewer drugs - the estimates are between $700M-$1B per drug.

Note these are prices for drug R&D only ("development") - there is no guarantee those drugs developed make it to market ("approval") - Over 90% do not.

Even if that's the case, unless your deductible is $40k, which I have never seen before, the insurance would still cover the majority of the cost. Plus if you have chronic Hep C, you're likely spending thousands a year as it is and will continue to do so indefinitely.

That depends on the treatment and politicians’ willingness to pay for it. Take cystic fibrosis in England: Until this year, modern, highly effective (and, yes, expensive) treatments available for years in the US—covered at low out-of-pocket cost by insurers there—were unavailable through the NHS.

They deny everything, and force you to fight them as well. Maybe Canadian health insurance is different, but in the US, it is exactly as you describe pet insurance.

Worthless political echo chamber hyperbole and demonstrably false.

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).

A friend works for a small insurance company, and she says it paid over a billion dollars in claims last year for fewer than 50k members.

For full context, "more" was a comparison to what is available now versus when my grandparents came over.
The department of health and human services runs 31 social benefit / welfare programs, such as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Supplemental Security Income (SSI), and Medicaid, though they are not immediately available (5 years residence or 40 quarters employed).

26 states run their own programs as well which may or may not have different time requirements for accessing them.

Per the most recent census, a majority of non-citizen households utilize some public benefit (most often medicaid and food assistance) likely due to the difference in education (63% at 10 years living here).

If my grandparents had come here today, they would also certainly be making use of these programs. Since they came over roughly 20 years before the New Deal was passed, local community support was the best they had.
I have a hard time imaging the people are willingly sacrificing theirs and their kids' futures for no reason. It's hard to up and move somewhere without adequate savings, a family or friends network. What kind of landlord is going to rent to someone with no job? Will someone in that situation be able to get a job that even allows them to save up for a home purchase in an economically burgeoning area? Or will they always be treading water?

Without getting too spoilery, Ad Astra depicts some handheld weapons in space. The movie is slllowww but visually wonderful.

That isn't all that far fetched, both the USSR and the United States looked at various options for space weapons. Traditional firearms like the TP-82 carried by the soviets and various options were looked at for new weapons by both sides like the 'Soviet laser pistol' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_laser_pistol

There are some documents out there like "The Meanderings of a Weapon Oriented Mind When Applied in a Vacuum Such as the Moon" (just Google the title, click the link you trust) that show various other types that we know were looked at.

Quorum / consensus seem to have a problem where players are factionalized or share dissimilar aims.

See: various UN bodies

Particularly with bodies where alignments of players change, or where new players are added. Either you set the threshold too low, and it doesn't represent consensus; or you set it too high, and the body is gridlocked by minority dissent.

Consensus seems to work better when at least all players share a nominally similar interest (read: not hot-button international geopolitics).
