I actually think that's a reasonable (if unlikely) idea.
In Australia we had a government-owned-but-run-for-profit private medical insurance company. The idea was that the government could use competition in the market instead of heavy-handed regulation to make the sector play nice.
It worked beautifully. Great government use of a free market mechanism.

(A few years ago our conservative government sold it off because they are ideologically allergic to the idea, and/or they're just corrupt fucks in the pants of corporates)

Correctly pricing in the negative externalities of burning fossil fuels is what will help us shift away from fossil fuels.

And if people are gonna be upset about a decrease in standard of living because they can't buy gas guzzling cars anymore or air travel is more expensive, they're really not going to like the drop in standard of living from climate change. Coastal flooding and storm surge is already destroying billions of dollars in real estate value. Houston has seen three 500-year floods in less than 5 years. We've seen the devastation from large scale wildfires in Australia and California. Subsistence fishermen in some parts of the world are already seeing their fisheries collapse.

If we don't get climate change under control we're not going to be talking about temporary pain while we shift to cleaner technology. We'll be looking at large scale climate refugee crises, collapses of industries, collapses of governments, and wide scale human misery.

Righteousness drives cancel culture. Power structures and capitalism have nothing to do with it.

Historically communists literally cancel people by imprisoning them and sending them to re-education camps or worse.

Today's virtue signaling by corporations is no different than it was twenty years ago when Janet Jackson slipped a nip at the Super Bowl. Advertisers threatened to leave NFL. FCC opened an investigation. All of this to please what these corporations perceived as the majority mob.
Amen. Why is it that morons and the evil seem to be the most fertile? I have no science to back this up. This is just something I have observed from personal experience.
My thoughts too. But why does Airbnb care? Presumably the landlords will just come back or be replaced, and it’s not like they have shown concern for ethics in a long time.

I think that just means more children get less fulfilling lives.

>Lots of engineer types freeze when they have to make a presentation. I remember a meeting early in my career with literally three people in a conference room and I almost had a panic attack.

That's definitely an unfortunate experience, but isn't giving presentations to explain your ideas - sometimes to people you don't really know - actually a significant part of the job? I'm an IC, and I present designs and project plans for feedback to groups of up to a couple dozen people, or to VPs, on a pretty regular basis. If I couldn't do that competently I would be failing at my job, because that kind of communication is just as important as actually writing the code. If I were conducting an interview and discovered that "public" speaking on the order of a few people in a conference room was extremely difficult for you, I'd probably consider that an important red flag.
How to Detect Deepfake Faces
If an 80 year old no longer contributes to society, and all they have is pieces of paper indicating they used to contribute in the past, they are relying on people who do contribute (by fixing toilets, growing food whatever) to accept those pieces of paper. They will only do so if they feel they are getting enough of those pieces of paper, and if they will believe those pieces of paper will work in the future.

The health of that 80 year old is only relavent in terms of the amount of resources needed to move from the working class to the non-working class. The healther the aged, the fewer the resources. The higher the working:retired ratio, the fewer the resources.

What is to stop the adults under say 50 who have barely any capital at all (401ks, houses, shares, whatever) from saying "screw this, I'm off to $other_country where I don't live hand to mouth and have no future of retirement"

A country can not survive when 90% of its population are 80 years old, no matter how healthy or rich those people are, it means for every 10 hours an under-80 works, 9 hours is to produce goods and services for other people.
They must be so disconnected that they feel their hosts and guests are actually having a meaningful connection. Most of my Airbnb interactions don't go beyond the exchange of keys (or not even that with the key boxes).

I have no sympathy for landlords or Airbnb, they are just going to have to deal with the market like everyone else.

That explains a lot.

Edit: to be clear, not saying the article is pointless, it gives a voice to those who might be too afraid to speak the facts these days. And it serves as a "you are not alone, nor crazy".

By, "Maybe not as far as the computer is concerned, but certainly as far as the humans are concerned.", I meant to invoke the principle that there's more to a good grammar than the computer being able to parse it reliably. It's also got to not be confusing for its wet, squishy readers.

Yes, but that's kinda my point. Trying to remove methane from the atmosphere probably isn't a good use of resources. Methane capture at the source like what is being done at some waste processing plants makes sense though. And changing livestock feeds to reduce methane emissions seems like a no brainer.
My understanding of this is that the body will always preferentially burn glucose because excess blood sugar is highly problematic, while excess fat can just be stored without the severe health risk.

With carb intake reduced the body will naturally switch to burning fat because it is the only fuel source available.
Why? Paleolithic area humans may have had a life expectancy of 30-35 but it had nothing to do with diet, it has to do with so many dying as children (obviously not diet related), but once you passed the age of 5 you were generally going to live to your 60’s.
In order to fire someone, you need power. In order to fire someone based on vague accusations or how they worded a tweet, you need a complete lack of labor rights.

edit: in the US, it's completely legal to fire people because you don't like their taste in shoes, or because you're so attracted to them that you think you'll be tempted to try to cheat on your wife. I don't think we should have a carved out protected class for employees who sounded transphobic on twitter once. We should have a minimum process for firing people that is dictated by the state, and further process that is negotiated by the employee's union. "Free speech" libertarians hate that a lot more.
Definitely my experience as well.
How could I have been so foolish!
> If you don't have kids, the chance you will have friends that loyal is low.

Probably have friends that loyal, but they’ll all be the same age and you might just end up being the last one.

Hopefully your kids have a comfortable margin on you in your old age.
>Would you say that someone who finds a way to murder someone within the law isn't at fault in that murder?

This is a pretty ridiculous comparison. Murder isn't bad because it's illegal, it's bad because pretty much all ethical systems consider it a terrible thing to randomly kill someone. There's certainly a lot less agreement that a company is ethically obliged to pay a government a double-digit percentage of its earnings if it wants to sell people there things they want to buy.
For condos rentals through realtors cleaning fees are often a norm - although they often have a baseline level of cleanliness where you don't have to pay a surcharge if it is to a certain standard such as all of the dishes either cleaned and put away or in the dishwasher cleaning while you check out and all trash cans emptied.

That sort of thing is a legitimate reason for a separate fee. I guess pedantically it is "non-baked in unconditional cleaning fees" essentially.

I've been on keto for probably a full year of my life at this point, broken up every few months. I usually can't maintain it for longer than 2-3 months at a time because it really is a strict diet - but it's always been worth it once I get into the "mode".

I absolutely love it because it turns the daily roller coaster of hunger pains for me caused by carbs into a steadier, more predictable climb. I basically feel no hunger at all during the day, and it's fantastic.

The big downside, obviously: little to no carbs. As a home baker I miss making bread when on keto, but I get that energy out by making different keto treats (usually almond/coconut flour based) instead.

Go look at an Airbnb listing, it will be advertised at a lower, per night rate, but when you go to book, it can jump up as much as 50% with tacked on fees. Hotels don’t do this.

I just went on the site and looked at an advertised $80 per night listing. On booking it became $137, with the $40 cleaning and $17 service fees. That’s a $137 room not an $80 one and I doubt it costs $40 to clean it.

I think it is reasonable that programmers should be able to modify their keyboards to have easier access to useful keys, ie all the caps lock-esc stuff.

Btw, Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator is a terrific tool. I spent around 10 minutes sω tφαθ İ cöüλδ tyπε lıκε δiş.

I suspect it's a need to be the smartest person in the room. A lot of people are long Tesla, a lot of the same people are optimistic by temperament, taking a pessimistic view is an easy way to stand by your reality-filter and look smart if you turn out right.

Then the filter does its job and makes them blind to the kind of things you've pointed out. The only way for this to change is people to get skin in the game so that it hurts when their theses are proven wrong. I wonder how many of the people alleging fraud are actually short TSLA.

I mean, would you rather be overweight and not sensitive to quickly storing even more fat through carbs, or thin/regular and more sensitive to gaining weight quickly through carbs?

The body adapted to storing carbs over a long period of time. Chances are that you need to give it at least as much to "un-adapt" from that.

I believe they "delivered" 90k vehicles too, by whatever definition they choose as "delivered".

I mentioned "factory-gated" in the OP because back when the metric of choice was cars "produced", Tesla had a quarter in which it claimed to have "produced" a certain number of "factory-gated" cars, and touted that number. It turned out, some of these cars were not complete. Some didn't even have seats. So exaggerating relevant metrics isn't new for Tesla (or other companies for that matter).
> reversed his T2 diabetes and lost quite a bit of weight doing keto. His doctor had advised meds to “manage” the disease.

My assumption there is that compliance for meds is probably better than compliance for huge lifestyle changes (such as diet). And that most people that the doctor sees in your BILs situation wouldn't stick to a ketogenic diet, and would need to go onto meds at some point in the future anyway.

Aside from that, im glad that it worked out for him. My anecdote about T2, is that a guy who works with my SO was told to control his diabetes with diet and is now insulin dependant, he hasnt been doing his insulin properly and has developed a swathe of health problems because of it.

Funnily enough, I’m the boring 9-5 suburb guy, it’s my parents who aren’t. I think my parents are more interesting and skilled than I might ever be. So I look at myself and I’m like, really, was I worth it? What else could they have done with that time? Of course they say I’m the best thing that ever happened but the reality is they moved elsewhere to work on new things before I reached 18... so I guess I wasn’t THAT exciting! :)

There are definitely people who WANT kids, like another commenter in this chain describes. I don’t get the impression MOST people are like that though. Anyone who suspects they might have regrets or will be giving things up... I don’t know if they should go through with it.
Would you be our first customer, if we do it? ;-)

The fact of the matter is that, while it is a tempting idea it's far from easy. The interfaces may not be that hard, but the storage itself will have its challenges and building a fast ad-hoc inference & representation learning layers on top of it is a huge project.

Not to put it bluntly but you can not do even small bits of work in 2-3 weeks?

Sometimes your demo is nothing more than 'here it is in the log doing xyz' or 'I added this thing to this config file'. Not all demos are big flashy ordeals. The team I am on right now most of my demos look exactly like that. I can usually do them right after the standup. Our team allows it because we are mostly remote and talking to each other helps.

I personally use scrum as a weapon to make sure management does not overload our teams. Those made up story points are a good way to say 'you have tasked us with 4 months of work in 2 days'. You have to know your manager too. You have to talk to them. Know what they are looking for. Some take a very hands off approach. Some want the nitty gritty details. For both of those a 'oh that is going to take 3 months' may sometimes work. But it does not give them actionable items to help you. The task broken down into some sort of chunked out work does. Sometimes you do not know. It is OK to admit that. That is when you make a discovery story. Make sure they are onboard with that story is to help you find out what is needed. Even then you will still learn along the way.

I worked with one guy who wanted to task things down to 15 minute increments, 6 months from now. He kept failing. Because he was being too narrow. He refused to do story points. Because they were 'stupid' yet management kept piling more stuff on him to fail at. He was in every weekend and in until 9PM every night. Because he had no tools to push back. Give your management numbers and actionable items or they will assume everything is hunky dory.
Although, many hotels have managed to wedge a mandatory “resort fee” into the final bill (and I’d like to see this nationally prohibited).
I love these wikipedia experts! Read your own link; Park is in prison. (Where the last five USA presidents should also be.)

Besides, don't change the subject. We are talking about USA's massive failure. All three of these other nations have succeeded in dealing with this problem that has totally beaten us. Observing that they aren't sufficiently cruel to immigrants for your tastes doesn't change that fact.
Keto is the primary energy system.

Consider when you don’t eat (fasting) your body goes into Ketosis. In other words it’s the default energy system.

You literally have to introduce Specific foods that knock you out of Ketosis...it just so happens now a days those are the primary foods people eat. Foods that spike insulin and knock you out of Ketosis really wouldn’t have been available in a constant supply to keep people running on glucose pre-agriculture.

Also consider the blood brain barrier, ketones are much more efficient at crossing the blood brain barrier to fuel the brain compared to glucose.
> I personally always check the posting history when I'm in doubt about the intentions of a poster.

I do the same, and in the cases where it's somewhat obviously a new or 'bad intentioned' it still surprises me how fast the comments are grayed out and/or dead (often within minutes).

I've always been curious how much of that was human curation and how much of it some algorithm. I've never gotten to see or play around with HN-style site data, but personally I'd probably write some code that takes into account valuable 'curator' users (with some checks and safeguards of course, and manually tagged by the moderators).
