>It sounds like the argument is that the individual mandate to have health insurance has been repealed

Their argument doesn't work as the Federal individual mandate for insurance stands as law but has no penalty or requirement to report. The basically declawed that component of the ACA. It is not considered for any applications/forms/fees/etc and you no longer need a waiver.

With that in mind, the mandate for insurers to cover regardless of preexisting conditions should stand based on the 2012 decision but that doesn't mean it cannot also be declawed by congress. There are many laws like this, many of which rely on department head for discipline actions or censure but they can simply not do that. This is a common theme among the current administration where ethics laws are constantly broken but there is not mandatory fine or penalty so as long as the manager assigned to judge the penalty fails to oversee their employees, our checks and balances mean nothing.

For my region, $150-175k, engineering. Last startup I worked at (>1 year ago) paid $120 + roughly 30k in options (so, divided $30000 by strike price resulting in N options). Company exited for 5x venture funding. Options were effectively worthless as one of the venture rounds had a 2x participating preference. Acquiring company offered same salary, no equity. I would have been better off quitting the startup and applying for a new role at the acquiring company as they were paying other engineers comparable to me $165.

The founders did ok, the investors did great, the typical employee (I was not first but was in the first 100) pretty much got screwed.

Sure, but imagine that every time you divide, the result may be optional. At least in a general purpose language that would clutter the code with optional handling even in cases where you know (but the compiler doesn't) that the value absolutely can't be zero.

Relatedly, there is value to non-local error handling (i.e. unchecked exceptions), catching logical errors at a local level makes little sense.
Initial ownership should really be based on at risk contribution in my opinion. While there are three founders, I don't believe that must imply an event 3 way split.

Tally up what each person brings to the table and places at risk then divide the ownership based on that.

That said, some jurisdictions give tax and other incentives to businesses owned by minorities and women. It could be well in your favor to see that they have a majority position (assuming you are not also a woman).
>the lack of a standard library in Node.js is one of it's biggest pitfalls

>npm / yarn ecosystem sucks compared to what you get with Python and PyPi

So you claim Python has a better standard library AND a better package ecosystem? That's bold. Care to expand on why you feel this?

I ask because of this. From the perspective of a JS dev who helps Python devs at work, pip seems pretty weak, its publishing story even weaker, and then both languages seem to have all their strength in their package ecosystems (Python: tf, django, dataframes, etc; JS: react, typescript, etc). So now to see you say "npm ecosystem sucks compared to pip" has me wondering what I'm missing.

In this scenario, existing homeowners volunteer to be bought out and move away, removing themselves from the community. Existing landlords volunteer to be bought out, and kick out their renters, leaving them to move away and remove themselves from the community. These homes are demolished and the lots become a construction site for 6-18 months, then the freshly built housing goes to rent or sale at market rate. When they're occupied, they will be filled by newcomers to the community.

I know quite well a patent examiner there; there is a lot of politics and incompetence in appointing people and a lot of pressure to accept most of the patents they receive, if I understood correctly part of the reason is politics (if you refuse, even stupid patents, influential people will get upset) and part is the idea to have as many patents as possible as a measure of European creativity and innovation and ... bla-bla. Universities and research institutes are measured by the number of patents and if they don't invent something good, they will patent something stupid just to get the numbers right.

Cruelty. Being publicly cruel.
To the risk of being naive, I'd imagine that gentrification can be at least somewhat mitigated by adding housing as the location becomes more desirable. This can take various shapes and forms depending on where. In the Bay, open space is mostly inexistant in desirable areas, so (one of) the main solution would be increasing density.

that would really only be a big competitive advantage if great people who don't interview well were more numerous than those who interview at least adequately, or if those great people were greater than the great people who do interview adequately.

I guess it would still be something of a competitive advantage though if you were a great person who got hired despite interviewing poorly you might be more grateful than those who interview well.

But anyway I don't know that anyone has the stats on how many great people interview poorly - I would of course only put myself as average, albeit lucky, and I interview poorly half the time but some times I interview really well, for some reason, and when it clicks like that I get the job.
So I assume if there is hope for as bad an interviewee as myself there must be hope for all the other poor interviews out there.

Sun poisoning oftentimes comes from a severe case of sunburn; which is a burn from ultraviolet radiation that inflames the skin.

That area will eventually dry up and peel off.”

I was pretty sure this was wrong, because there was a lot of hubbub about it being the first Nintendo-made game on phones, so I checked. From Wikipedia:

The game is one of Nintendo's first games developed for mobile devices, and one of the few instances that a game in the Mario series was officially released on non-Nintendo hardware.

Pokemon Go was developed (and published) by Niantic, and Fire Emblem Heroes came out over a year later than Super Mario Run did (and is also not a Nintendo game).

My question is how was he even able to do spend that much in one day? did he spread it out over several accounts or something? Or did he pay cash he had under his mattresses?

I have all my accounts locked down to a reasonable daily spending limit (far lower than $3,000) , if I have a large expense then I have to call my credit union or credit card company to to a temporarily increase on that spending limit.

There is a difference between order and offset, both consistent and makes sense. We use both models in everyday life.

The Churchill government ended WW2 in an instant. Troops came home and were laid off after being paid. No welfare, no unemployment insurance. The UK went down economically in a near vertical dive. The pound was devalued from $4.80 to $2.80 and there was zero funds injected. Next election went hard labor socialist and killed the country for decades.
It was not until Thatcher went toe to toe with the unions(like Reagan did to the flight controllers) who went on strike after strike to keep workers in mined out coalmines in what were called feather beds (No work, full pay until retirement). The people at large were on her side and she was right. Britain went back to growth again.
That said, Churchill was the right man for the war effort. He was from the monied class and workers were dirt under his feet = voted out.Education stopped at 14, only a few wemt on to higher education - this has changed, 16 now and better education than the USA now.
Britain and all the colonial powers ran their empires for maximum $$ goes home. Native workers were menials, never trained to govern at all (some exceptions here). The managers all left in short order in all these old empires and strong man rule started all over the place.

Places like Zimbabwe and South AFrica did better, but soon were ruined as well.

> That's a very bold claim. Have any studies or polls to back that up?

From 1:

> In Japan, only 14 percent of households will own a 4K TV in 2019 because most households already have relatively new TVs, IHS said.

Let's dissect the reasoning. Most households already have a relatively new TV, thus a low adoption rate. Implying that needing a new TV generally, not the desire to upgrade resolution, is the primary motivating factor in purchasing a TV. In fact, most 4K TVs are already as cheap as the rest of the market.

I truly believe that almost everyone does not care about 4K whatsoever. In fact, even if they do 'care' it's not because they know what they're talking about. Most of the enhancements that 4K TVs bring are an artifact of better display technology, rather than increased resolution. See 2.

Streaming 4K+ video is a waste of resources with no tangible benefit to anyone other than marketing purposes. Netflix streams '4K' because everyone has a '4K' TV now and they demand it.

I agree with you. I learn by listening and collaborating. That is an environment you don't get online or learning by yourself.

They also care very much about their job title, and the job titles of the people they are dealing with. A few years ago my company (American) worked with a Japanese company and before we went into the meetings we had to establish new job titles for the people on our team that would be representing our company in the meeting. We couldn't go in there with just a bunch of senior engineers when they were sending their VP of Engineering. It wouldn't have gone over well.. We had to have a Director of Engineering, Senior Director of Mobile, VP of North American Engineering. Etc.

These were all just regular very good senior engineers. But it would have been insulting to go to the meeting without the inflated titles.
