This totally ignores nuclear energy. If we are really in for "catastropic" climate change, then one of the things you can do is quickly build crappy, unsafe nuclear power plants. Even if you have a Chernobyl somewhere in the world every 5 years, you are still probably better off than with catastrophic climate change.

Basically, it is this thinking that makes a lot of people suspicious about climate change. If all things that you would do to combat climate change are things the progressives/environmentalists want to do anyway (increase taxes, more government regulation of industry, more urbanization, more public transportation, etc) and nothing that they would not want to do, people on the other side of the political spectrum have their bs detector go off.
It does have to happen in the reactor vessel. It's not just that it's a charged gas. It's that it's a charged gas which is exploding with almost 300 kWh of energy per shot.
It's too late. Google, et al have opened the metaphorical Pandora's Jar long ago. The race to the top - especially between countries and with different views - will not stop anyone. It's in everyone's interest to get there and stay there.

yep. Dont even get me started on how many times I had to fight with the insurance/billing/admin departments to even understand why I received a bill and for what. They must have a team of smart cryptographers to generate those crazy bills and invoices /s
It's a familiar distinction. You've expressed it particularly well. We don't have the real-world information about users that would be needed to make such calls with certainty (nor would we want it!), but based on what I've seen, I don't believe it's fanboyism in this case.

More importantly, it's a distinction without a difference in cases like this. When someone is using dozens of accounts to post corporate propaganda to HN over many years, they're abusing the site and we ban them.

Do you actually like your job? I don't mean any disrespect, but I've had jobs I don't really like and I get where you are coming from. Right now, though and at other times, since I've had my own companies, 6 day work weeks and 10-12 hrs a day was not even an issue. I feel like if people go to 4 day work weeks, people that love their jobs and are willing to work 1.5times as much or more will have a huge advantage over the long haul.

I think this should be old news by now. Yes, climate change will cause economic damage. And well, quite a big number, because it is well, rather global in scale and this is economics, where numbers tend to be big anyways. No, there is no solution to be bought off the rack. Even measures to migitate economic damage will cause economic damage (and different actors will pay it). The damage caused will be on a lot of levels, hard to measure and there is nothing to be done about it. How much damage we dont know. will your business be affected? probably. how much? we dont know. should you care? possibly, we dont know. It is impossible to make decisions based on such vague assertions.
I went through a billing/process dispute with a provider last year after a change in their process led to a 30x increase in out-of-pocket costs for necessary treatment. It ended with them flatly lying to me that the changes were for my "safety". When I first dealt with all the new process, I asked my doctor why they were doing it, and he said "I think they just want to charge more money".
I am very skeptical of this approach.

The big problem I have is the direct conversion approach being suggested. The idea, as I understand it, was that the target is placed at the center of a large sphere, and is negatively charged, so the alpha particles from fusion slow down as they go up the potential to the surrounding spherical collector.

You see the problem with this, I hope. The violent and energetic event at the target will produce gas and plasma, and lots of free electrons. What is stopping that from shorting out this megavolt vacuum capacitor?

> The real costs are in the practice of medicine in America: compensation, structure of surgical units, organization of hospitals, treatment recommendations, manufacturing industry, FDA regulations, etc. Single-payer doesn't address any of this directly--at best indirectly, and only if you're really optimistic. Obamacare reforms did try to address some of this (it's why it's gargantuan), but with mixed and often poor success. If you want to fix healthcare, it's these unsexy, complex, and hidden things that need to be addressed.

THIS. I don't know why this isn't being said more openly, more often and more widely. It's absolutely the crux of the matter. Yes, it will be great if we get M4A or somethng similar, but it's not going to solve the cost issues, which are bigger (or under any conditions, at least as substantive) than the insurance system itself.

Thank you so much for adding that Wikipedia link. For years (no exaggeration), I've been trying to remember the term for the problem of forgetting what it was like to not know something. I was never able to come up with the right search query.

How about double trigger RSUs?

The downside is that employees pay ordinary income on the full IPO value, but there are no upfront taxes and no exercise dilemma for people that leave after vesting.
I agree, so many of these studies are not very high quality, and there is so much money behind the scenes trying to push agendas -- between pharma lobbies, hospital lobbies, payer lobbies, and politicians capitalizing on public anger at pharma and high healthcare costs in general -- that most of what we read seems to reflect political agendas more than facts

Many drug prices are too high but 80% of rx in the US are generic, and US is middle of the pack in terms of drug spend as a percent of HC spend compared to OECD countries

Drug prices "feel" higher bc copays are higher for drugs than office / hospital visits. If the goal is to reduce actual costs rather than perceived costs, we should look at hospital and provider costs, not just drug costs. But hospitals are huge employers with lots of political power, not to mention large lobbying budgets
> We just can't deal with it, because we are exposed directly to unnecessary complexity.

I'd argue though that those best adept at handling the complexity are actually winning in this model. If you are reasonably healthy already and can navigate HDHP/HSA rules, you can have a much higher take-home income + savings than in other countries with government run healthcare systems.
>around 4 million of those 60million pay taxes that are used to pay out grants to sustain the rest of the population

(I know nothing about the situation there but)

I presume this means that wealthy/rich peoples' money is used to help the non-rich. And this is somehow a desperate problem? It sounds like you're one of the 4 million. What does "fighting back" mean, what's the goal? For the rich to keep it all for themselves, and keep getting richer? I thought the rich pay lower taxes everywhere - they can also pay expensive lawyers and accountants to make it happen.

When you say bad spending, what's bad about it?
I mean, I agree. I think employees generally under-value equity, for understandable reasons, and that it's probably more efficient to compensate them in cash. That does mean that when the company sells, the upside goes entirely to management and investors, but I guess you can't have it both ways.
> don't deserve to be "preferred" instead of "common" because the VCs put in actual money

I agree with most of what you said, but a nit: one perspective I've heard on the motivation for preferred stock is this:

Suppose I give you $10M to start a company in exchange for 10% of it. You then easily sell the company for $9M, keeping 90% * $9M = $8.1M for yourself and returning $900k to me. Preferred (non-participating, 1x) shares prevent this problem by making sure you can't just run away with the money: you have to actually use it to build the business.

People investing in the company in non-liquid ways (e.g., the founders or engineers, via opportunity costs) aren't in the same boat, because their opportunity cost can't be immediately liquidated.
Ideally this is how cards should be made. Most anki word decks neglect to have meaningful context, making them much less useful. Especially once you begin to study more advanced vocabulary.

What I ended up doing was modifying a pre-made deck to have more fields, and I edit a card as it pops up into my new queue. This takes more time, but it makes it easier for me to learn a word seeing example sentences and other information.

Yes I am sure they will easily find another highly paying job. I call BS on that statement.
(1) I think you're misunderstanding the Lambda model where you don't pay the loan unless you make over a certain amount and it adjusts as a proportion of income. It's designed to get around the actual "debt enslavement" issues of the current government debt. *

(2) A few months of education isn't a plane crash or fatal drug, it's a major inconvenience, but no more than any other bad life decision people make freely all the time (taking a bad job, buying a boat, etc.). As I said, regulation needs to be proportional to the down side.

(3) If you make everything really restrictive there is no innovation. Going slow does do harm. Harm that you don't see because it's a positive externality and hence never happens and you don't see it. Growth isn't the enemy and neither is regulation, you just have to be smart about it, and I would argue you're too far on the conservative side.

* The only exception, which I believe is still unclear legally, is whether ISA aren't releasable under bankruptcy, which I would definitely oppose as a big supporter of bankruptcy law.
Pretty sure thus is the way everywhere here in Europe too, you still pay the huge compulsory insurance but no one forbids private insurance or private out of the pocket. In fact many private places also offer things covered by national insurance if they agree to prices set by the gov.

I'm not sure I would agree that the article doesn't matter that much. It's an argument that while the FCC's going along with what the courts decided, they're not necessarily doing so in good faith because they tried to bury the announcement with fluff and didn't use a title that would be understandable to the average user.
This kind of thing sadly becomes necessary because of comment sections full of contrarians and devil's advocates -- and their real life equivalents. This site is a breeding ground for this class of do-nothing discourse, but it faithfully reflects executive opinions on the matter.
> You can't add 20 new cards a day for any length of time without the review cycle getting overwhelming.

1. You have to take breaks from adding cards, and just be in review mode sometimes.

2. You have to tweak the settings. The defaults are bad. For instance, you probably want to adjust the percentage by which a lapsed card's interval shortens. If you lapse on a ten month card, you don't want it resetting to just several days, but say to 50%: five months. Another thing is to tweak the custom intervals to reduce the number of initial reviews for newly added cards, and also tweak the interval steps for lapsed cards to control how many times a card is reviewed before being returned into the deck.
See, I actually like it when URLs contain human-readable text. Cryptic URLs like YouTube has are meaningless to me, requiring me to actually visit the page to see what it is. That's also why I dis-like link shorteners.

I really like Stack Overflow's URLs because of how flexible they are. You can put anything in the title slug, since only the ID is used. When self-documenting links aren't useful, then you can omit the title slug completely.

For example, these four links all point to the same page (in a code block so they don't get truncated):

iSH works differently. It’s not running “Linux” and it isn’t virtualizing hardware either. Anything you run has to be compiled already and the syscalls are emulated, there is no Linux kernel in iSH.
> The problem is this is exactly the same kind of finger pointing and the Greeks (the Spaniards, the Italians, etc) are the spoiled brats

You're getting emotional and in the process trying to out words into others people's mouths for no good reason. Greece's problems were a political and institutional problem, and it's not possible to hide this fact and its consequences. You cannot have a string of governments patently and systematically committing state-wide accounting fraud, and even resorting to paying consultants to optimize their fraud, and still try to spin it as emotional pettiness. Eventhough the actual Greek people had to bear the blunt of the problem, that changes nothing with regards to the problem, what caused it, andwho were responsible for it.
I'm genuinely impressed that the Overton window on hours seems to have changed since the last time the 4-day work week was in the headlines.

Not that long ago, it was unquestioned that four days meant 4x10. It was simply unthinkable that we would consider less than forty hours "full time." I even skipped this article initially, expecting it to have the same assumptions! And yet, they specifically report that Shake Shack cut back to 32 hours without cutting pay.

I would have expected service-sector jobs to be the last to see something like this. And if a burger chain can do it, an office where we spend 40 hours in a combination of productivity and reading HN can absolutely do it.
Scientists pinpoint brain coordinates for face blindness
> My guess would go towards the relation of frontal cortex maturation. Before fully maturation, other parts of the brain "step in" and handle some of the frontal cortex' role, but by around age 25 they stop doing that.

So, do you mean that such disorders originate from the frontal cortex, and that the reason they manifest by 25 or so is because it is at that point that the frontal cortex is no longer "supported" by other parts of the brain and it's flaws become apparent? Interesting if so.
I think startups are a bit of a crapshoot even in this regard. You'll learn a lot at a good one, but could potentially learn a lot of bad habits at a bad one.

Similar story on eBay. I shipped ≈10k worth of goods to a buyer. He tore a hole in the box and claimed half of the contents were missing, after signing for the package. Despite this eBay refunded his money and refused to listen to our story until we took it to Twitter and pinged some high level manager.
There are a lot of people, like myself, who would love nothing more than having 100% nuclear power and understand climate change.

I think this every time someone suggests filming part of the transaction. Nowhere does video of an action imply that it was not immediately undone right after filming.
I don't know why the idea of a "public option" fell out of favor with Democrats. It's a good stop along the way, and doesn't risk completely destroying an industry overnight...and therefore has a much higher chance of passing. Eventually employers would push people onto the public option plan, but it wouldn't be overnight. Bernie's plan, imo has so much room for error, it's not even worth considering without a stop along the way. It's also ironic he wants to ban private insurance completely (I assume that even means supplemental) when pretty much every single country he cites as a model doesn't do that.
Nobody is saying there aren't real administrative savings to be had, but the amount we spend on administrative costs is something close to an empirically observable fact, and you can do the mental exercise of taking any credible number and zeroing it out to see how big an impact it would have on overall health spending. It's not huge.

Which is to say that even in the most optimistic case, where single-payer forces everyone into a perfectly efficient system where nobody has to waste any time on coding or paper-shuffling and everything is perfectly streamlined, we still won't have meaningfully fixed the problem. The amounts we'd save would be a grocery-store-sale discount.
Your problem wasn't the structure of your comp, it was the payer of your comp.
Indeed. Real upside is the only thing that lets them at all compete for employees. Investors facilitating deals that screw early employees are poisoning the well for all their future investments.
In common language when discussing comp, yeah definitely, I think so. "Legally" idk.

I broke my nose, was seen within 5 minutes and it was straightened (after anaesthetic).

Needed and x-ray for my lugs to get residency. Took 10 minutes. Free.

My brother broke his leg horribly. Multiple surgeries, a month in hospital, etc. etc.

There are no bills, just taxes - though it's very manageable.
Do you live in a particularly dangerous area or something? I walked (later biked) a mile to school a few times a week starting some time in elementary school.
Some merchants certainly are. And in GP's case, PayPal might be playing the role of merchant, since they technically took the payment. I wonder if they just offer refunds to avoid having to accept chargebacks as such.
You're right. I was wrong. Sorry!

I had tested linking to specific comments in issue threads, which does work with JS disabled (unless I've completely messed up...), and assumed that linking to parts of documents, as less complex/application-y would obviously work, but as you've pointed out it doesn't.

That's highly disappointing.
Low is positioning this as a response to "job losses" associated with automation.

https://a28.asmdc.org/press-releases/20200221-expand-economi...

This makes no sense to me. $12K/yr is a nice supplement to low incomes. But let's say I'm a trucker making $60K/yr and I lose my job. Making 20% of my previous income is definitely nice, but it's not exactly moving the needle that dramatically.

If you're primarily concerned about job losses due to automation, why not radically increase unemployment benefits and make vocational education for adults tuition free (and maybe even offer a cost of living stipend for unemployed adults who retrain)? This approach is a LOT less expensive and far more targeted.

I fully support a UBI as a form of income security, but as a corrective for technological unemployment it just seems like a really blunt, and ultimately not terribly effective instrument.
Depends how it's organized, but it could be much better. In Canada, physicians don't need to get approval before they do everything, admin overhead for a physician to bill is a matter of a few minutes a week. Not two full-time staff members just for that.
That's better but some days are bad for biking and more than seven hours per week spent on a bike is still a bit much.
From an engineering perspective, these two assertions that have been prefixed with the qualifier, "from an engineering perspective," are entirely compatible.

Is it a question of treating the birth as a medical event or as something else? I've read about doctors who have given birth at a hospital and died and the death was preventable.

Other possible factors could be a lack of prenatal care or (and this is separate) births outside of a hospital / medical setting.

I think the first thing someone should consider when looking at jobs is their risk tolerance.

If you don't have two parents who are alive and healthy and own their home mortgage-free, you probably have a low risk tolerance. Go work at a FAANG; ISOs have an effective value of $0 to you.

If your grandpa can afford to give you $10000 to start a startup, or if you can always move into your parents' basement when you become broke, then I would think about a startup. You can tolerate owing hundreds of thousands in taxes in the worst case, and the higher expected value (and higher personal growth, in the early years) is worthwhile.
