My wife is a pediatrician and sees about 80% medicaid patients. People absolutely go in more often than they need to because they don't pay a single cent. I'm talking going to the ER because their kid has a cough or is running a fever. These are usually also the most demanding patients.

Did you sell it as used? If you opened the package and touched the product it can no longer be sold as new. I have called out sellers on this crap before and gotten my money back. When I order new I expect a factory sealed box. (Also illegal in the US https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/16/20.1 )

So assuming you sold this as used, that sucks I feel for you. However if your one of those scumbags who sells used things on Amazon as new I have no sympathy and I would happily report you for my money back. (I have encountered this maybe twice in all the electronics I buy on Amazon)

If you want to sell used things you have opened, flag them as such on Amazon or go to Ebay. I buy from both places and will always take a deal on a cheaper gently used item if its disclosed up front.

Edit: For clarity, FTA > "To this day, I have no idea what he claimed was “missing” from the package. I even included all the original plastic wrap!"
He opened a factory box and unwrapped the product. How else would he photograph all the parts with the kit?

Hi, author here. I’m here to answer any questions but also I want to advertise the fact that it would be really really awesome if interested devs can join the project.

I've never heard that - I don't know anyone who likes their insurance company. I have heard some people say that in the current system that there might in theory be some competition, although in practice government rules mean that there isn't really much competition. Most people I've heard want to go the other way from single payer, and increase competition for insurers.

How is this fundamentally different from the electorate voting for an army to protect them, or firefighters to put out their fires? These are also paid for by taxes and where the electorate will vote for their own benefit.

Aren't the electorate also the ones voting for tax structures (or for the politicians who'll implement them)?
This. I used to have a longish commute (about 1h door to door) but I took Caltrain, and that time was never wasted. I could work, connect with friends, or just unwind. The few times when I did that by car I ended exhausted. Throw in a weekly 3h bike ride to work to stay fit and it was quite excellent.
You are confusing Private Health "Care" wth Private Health "Insurance". The issue with Private health Insurance in US is that they have too much power and strong hold on doctors/hospitals etc and for them to make profits, EVERYTHIng is priced too high, EVERYTHING. So private health "insurance" has to die for this to be effective. They can exist only for supplemental stuff. No one is talking about taking away private health "care". You can still go to whoever you want.

Just a quick nit, but we make a lot of plastics and things out of oil, and iirc it’s still the most dense and stable form of energy we have. Far more so than any battery technology even on the horizon. Even if renewables were 100% perfect tomorrow, there will still be people / groups / applications for that oil. It’ll just last much longer before we run out.

> If you don't like Google you can use Duck Duck Go

This is not true. Sure, you can stop searching with Google. But Google, being a surveillance company, collects data from many sources besides search. They have gotten most websites to implement their bugs (Analytics and Recaptcha), and buy troves of data from other surveillance companies (Experian, LexisNexis, etc), so it is impossible to just "stop" being abused by them.

I personally believe that the best way is to fix the longstanding security problems in web browsers that leak all of this personal information in the first place. But as long as we're talking about legalistic approaches, then it seems eminently reasonable to condemn all surveillance companies for unilaterally snooping (including the faux consent of purported "contracts"), the same way that if I leave my curtains open and someone snaps a picture of me naked, they're not free to openly sell it.

Blaming social media for mental health issues sounds deeply questionable no matter how many correlative studies.
I doubt it is generally healthy but making it out to be the next tobbaco is absurd.
There are far too many overlapping changes with potential negative effects, let alone the role of diagnosis and awareness affecting apparent numbers - a town without any access to diagnosis will look mentally healthy even if literally everyone has severe PTSD.

Even if a correlation is taken as granted it is logically flawed as concluding kids eating their lunch alone are at an increased suicide risk - never mind shunning or bullying that is the shared cause of both!
I do the laundry for the house; it's about 4 loads a week for 4 people, which I mainly batch up because if I'm not paying attention to the wet laundry, it can sit in the washer and get stale. It would take more like 5 minutes to hang a load- do I hang it inside, or out of my crowded home (it's in the 4-10C range outside now), so you're talking about 20 minutes, spread throughout a day. Alternatively, I can just dump the washer load into the dryer, and come back when the dryer finishes. For a busy professional, this is huge.

> You already are? That's how health insurance works.

I am not a defender of the insurance system. It blows. But single-payer is not the only other choice.

I want a freer healthcare market where prices are known before consuming services. Real market competition could actually occur to bring down prices. For drugs, research and development for less profitable cases could be a very worthy target of government funding. I don't have all the answers but neither does single-payer.
I recently had to go through the passing of my grandfather. In addition to having Parkinson's for the last 5 years of his life that progressively got worse, he also had stage for rectal cancer that was inoperable. He had a DNR and also an advance directive about prohibiting aggressive medical intervention. He ended up with pneumonia and refused to be ventilated to clear the mucus. He told me and my grandmother after an extremely bad night in the hospital that he was, "ready." I called family from all around to come say good bye, We were planning on doing in home hospice but his condition was deteriorating and I couldn't manage it on my own. We ended up taking him to a very nice hospice center, they stabilized him enough for everyone to get to say their last good byes and then he passed a few days later.
That could very well be but then the 'buyer' should return the goods.
And, if the VA is an example of single-payer, then we're doomed. The VA is awful. That's the single best argument against single-payer.
It wasn't. Fixed.
For a family of 4, I pay total of about 20K per year as well (employer + employee cost) and even after that, we have a $5000 deductible AND on top, we have to be concerned about in-network/out of network bullshit. So for me, unless $25,000 has been spent, insurance company would not even come in the picture AND I am always scared if I wil get a bill that was out of network.

This madness has to end and I don't give a shit that we are trying Single Payer. Everyone talks about Cost but what about Administrative issues ? Fighting incorrect claims, billing errors and what not. As far as I am concerned, this is one area where I am totally against Profit making motive. Let me correct myself. I am totally ok with Doctors and Hospitals directly making some profit but not insurance companies. Private insurance companies can go suck it. I am sick and tired of paying for their profits. Status quo has to change, that's it.

EDIT: I am not against Insurance of some sort but they should only exist for Catastrophic illnesses. I need to go see my doctor for preventive care ? No need to involve Insurance company and wasting time on filing a claim that by definition requires more money to pay for the people involved unnecessarily.
Sounds very cool! I recently wondered about the possibility of superoptimizing vectorized code, so glad to hear about it!

Would you like to chat about opportunities to do analagous work for GPU instruction sets?

I work at a startup making high-performing GPU software and compilers, incidentally including a regex engine! (We can't quite match HyperScan on the CPU, but support capture groups and very high throughput on GPUs.) We also have several other interesting projects, and would like to start a superoptimizer at some point.

P.S. After reading your blog, one of our engineers said: "We see you like PSHUFB. So do we."
This is where I think political leaders (Democrat or Republican) could do really well. It's not just making sure people are covered. It's the existential dread of dealing with opaque, unpredictable, and incomprehensible bureaucracy that can make life-and-death decisions or drop financially crippling bills in your lap, even if you have good insurance. The American health care system isn't just bad for the poor. It's bad for everyone. We just can't deal with it, because we are exposed directly to unnecessary complexity.

But the fact that the people with money and good insurance are suffering from the system as well as the poor seems to be lost on Democrats, and the Republicans are just paralyzed by the whole idea of fixing health care. It's a massive political failure for both parties.

If company is valuable enough smart investors will flock around the shareholders who even have very minor ownership.

There's nothing uneducated about having a differentiated view on privacy, which this blog post has not, it's mostly just an incoherent rant.

There's nothing wrong with not having any expectation of privacy for discourse that is supposed to be public. I don't care if my open source development discussions are public because they're intended for a public audience. Same goes for any discussion I have on a discord.

People with an educated mindset are able to discern what information deserves what level of privacy, rather than larping as privacy advocates to stick it to the man or whatever the motivation is.

I just wanted to emphasize this point from your quote:

>funding for early retirement options, extensive severance, retraining programmes, and relocation expenses for all workers in these sectors. Implementation of such a plan is estimated to... a sum which would be recouped within the first year by the health-care savings estimated here."

Even if we provided a generous 2 years of severance for people to transition into other roles, we still save in the long term.
people very generally will be drawn to you more if you don't appear to be concerned about what comes out of your mouth

32yo here. In my experience, the opposite seems to be true. (I've been dragged to that conclusion despite wanting to believe otherwise.)

More precisely, it might be true that people will be drawn to you more if you don't appear to be concerned with what comes out of your mouth. But the climate in 2020 is night-and-day difference from 2009-era. I think the shift was so subtle that we might not have noticed.

It's true that as one gets older, one generally cares less about such things though. It was just an interesting and surprising change. Five or so years ago, I'd wholeheartedly agree with you.

Ask HN: Not-so Glassdoorsy/lesser known hacks to get promoted
In my recent discussion with my manager, I was told about the "usual" (aka Inc.com, Glassdoor, etc.) rules of promotion. Be visible, prepare your case, share results. I find them odd, especially confusing. Should I work the rules out or do my job? Do I spend time in my function, or keep promoting my work internally. Why can't you just do your job, instead of wasting time in self-promotion. That way the odds are lesser, are't they?

Basically everyone knows by now, being an employee at an early stage startup is a suckers bet. You’re literally working to make someone else rich. Just go work for FAANG, or highest cash comp, and jam that money into tech stocks.
This is the issue. The assumption that it’s somehow better for this to be handled as a consumer expenditure versus a tax is the actual debate.
I prefer to look at per capita cost, especially when comparing with other nations. It's appalling that we pay twice as much as anyone else, and that almost everyone has better care than we do in terms of outcome.
You need better control of your reflexes. The best method I can think of is to do certain everyday tasks with your non-dominant hand.

Unfortunately most innovation in the medical insurance industry is a detriment to insurance consumers i.e. innovation in how to better screw the customers by not paying out. Profit in such insurance companies comes out of consumer's pockets.

There's a third major cost-saving which is preventative care.

I have a family friend who lost his job, lost his insurance and couldn't afford to take his meds which would have prevented the massive stroke that paralyzed him 3 weeks later.

This was 10 years ago and his rehabilitation is still ongoing. His wife can't work and is his full-time caretaker. Multiple lives destroyed because we as a society can't get a system together where it makes rational sense to provide this man with the couple cents worth of pills that would have prevented this calamity.

It's the same story with every other chronic disease and health care issue - just massive amounts of human suffering that could be avoided.
> And on top of it I get a better deal if I use no insurance at all for prescriptions.

Interesting. So is it also the case that you can "negotiate" medicine prices? Is the actual price then different from what is on the tag?
AMD EPYC has SHA hardware accelerations but in my test "openssl speed -evp sha1" is slower than "openssl speed sha1". Any idea why?
People seem to think that if you move to single payer that the single payer would behave like any of the existing payers, i.e. you call to fight for approval for everything you do, argue about fees for each item, denying things is routine, blah blah blah.

If you have a single payer system, it doesn't have to work that way. Not even close!

Let's have some perspective on what "outright evil" really is.

You didn't get hurt by this.
The whole premise of your argument is that single-payer is not only better than the insurance system (which I would agree is true) but also that it is the only other option. The latter is not true.
Presumably there's an NDA involved.
And you can ask for cash. They can’t ask for a refund of that.
I had the same exact experience the last time I sold on ebay, in 2017. I sold an $800 item. One day before the claim window closed, the buyer filed a claim saying it had never arrived and claiming they emailed me several times and I never responded. I submitted proof of delivery from UPS and pointed out the simple fact that I had received no messages from the buyer through ebay messaging. Ebay gave them a full refund and refused to speak to me about it. When I called them and waited on hold for several hours, they literally just hung up on me. I closed my ebay and paypal accounts and I’ll never use them again.
Also the fine doesn't exist any more.
I shall wait until banks start offering deep discounts for properties at ocean sides. This type of fear mongering is bad.
Shouldn't they make recommendations how to invest to reduce the economic fall-out of climate change?

Mitigating climate change (by replacing ACs, finding alternatives to concrete, adding a carbon tax) from the current +6° trajectory to +5° or +4° or +3° or +2° has benefits for human health, cooling, crops, political stability, energy production and many more, all associated with high costs in case of no mitigation.

Why don't very large financial institutions that plan out for the next 20-40 years speak up?
