If somebody assaults my testicles and renders me infertile, that is an extremely serious crime; this doctor may well have done the equivalent (along with completely destroying the boy mentally) with the stroke of a pen.

Indeed. So will you protect it, or will you lie?

I wasn't following React during that kerfuffle. Reading about it, it seems to be that Facebook made an Apache style licence with a very titled patent clause, where one's rights are terminated following any patent suit against Facebook, even if the patent suit did not relate to React. That is, the problem seems to be the phrasing of the patent clause which was included in the licence, and a different patent promise would not be a problem.

The phrasing of the .NET patent promise[0] doesn't seem to have that problem. It might be a bit difficult for people who want to copy and modify the code, since the promise is limited there (only reimplemtations, but I can understand that since they don't want to waive the patents altogether). However, the promise seems fine for users of the framework (IANAL etc. etc.).

I see no problem here. Kid should sue and win. Doctor gets investigated by the local/regional/national board of medicine and is disbarred for not practicing evidence-based medicine. Jail comes under investigation for their choice to hire the doctor (who ostensibly lacked the red flags to prevent his hiring).

This is how the system works. It’s not like you can know which doctors are the bad apples before malpractice like this.

“When I found out they were giving him the pill, I was like, why didn’t they ask me? When I found out what kind of pill was it, I was like, this is terrible,” the father said. “He’s only 16, and they were forcing him to take it.”

This is the only bit in question. Seems like the jail should be found culpable for not notifying the parent of any treatment details.

i disagree. we have treatments that have been shown to be helpful for a given disease. its not perfect but giving out random cocktails is not the norm. estrogen is not a treatment for that disease, which is why this is a headline and that action (as far as I can tell) is heinous.
> The aim of UBI is not to make people better off, but to ensure that everyone has enough money to live on.

I think there is an entirely reasonable argument that having enough money to live on (guaranteed) would make people better off.

If a policy isn't being done to make people better off, why do it? The easiest way to maintain the status quo is to do nothing - rather than finding innovative ways to maintain stasis but with new laws.

> If you argue it's unfair that people pay for UBI, how is that different from arguing that it's unfair that people pay for means-tested social security (or poor people's medical bills)?

Yep. The argument against most social spending boils down to the same two things. Sometimes other arguments do crop up (eg, some truly foolish policies incentivise destructive behaviour).

A woman that uses the pill as birth control consumes 0.00365 gram of estrogen a year. At a consumption price of the pill for $300 a gram of estradiol is thus worth $82,191.79. Compare that to $44 for a gram of gold and you wonder if big Pharma is ready for disruption?

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the Saudi setup a lot more like a government "jobs" guarantee where the job was rather pointless. The lack of ability to do a real job without giving up the zero stress bs job would certainly seem to breed a lack of work ethic.

UBI, on the other hand, rewards anyone who works on top of the UBI supplement. There is no need to choose between working and getting the "free" money everyone else is getting.
Thanks for the background.
So it sounds like Zulip was purely an acquihire.

This reads like the plot of a dystopian young adult sci-fi novel. Children who resist authority being diagnosed with a "behavioural disorder" and being forcibly given hormones by an evil doctor. Yet apparently this is the reality of modern society.
To be honest, a train leaving early SUCKS. You show up on time, and you find out you missed it. Maybe the next one is in 40 minutes, maybe it's the next day.

"Minimum wage workers should mainly be..."

Because you say so? Or do you have thoughts on specific policies that will make this true? Because currently, many people who need to support a household rely on minimum wage jobs (or close to it), and often without guaranteed full time hours and no health insurance.
Indeed. Who knows what else they did while spamming those accounts? Hopefully Twitter has some very good auditing/logging in place...

Abstract:

> We review epidemiological evidence indicating that most people will develop a diagnosable mental disorder, suggesting that only a minority experience enduring mental health. This minority has received little empirical study, leaving the prevalence and predictors of enduring mental health unknown. We turn to the population-representative Dunedin cohort, followed from birth to midlife, to compare people never-diagnosed with mental disorder (N = 171; 17% prevalence) to those diagnosed at 1–2 study waves, the cohort mode (N = 409). Surprisingly, compared to this modal group, never-diagnosed Study members were not born into unusually well-to-do families, nor did their enduring mental health follow markedly sound physical health, or unusually high intelligence. Instead, they tended to have an advantageous temperament/personality style, and negligible family history of mental disorder. As adults, they report superior educational and occupational attainment, greater life satisfaction, and higher-quality relationships. Our findings draw attention to “enduring mental health” as a revealing psychological phenotype and suggest it deserves further study.

That's not too surprising, tbh. Building the baseline solution or platform from the ground up is often the most difficult part, and by the end of such a project, you end up with a 100 ideas about how to make it better. But either due to time constraints, a "perfect is the enemy of done" philosophy, or simply the fact that you reach a natural crossroads and there are multiple valid ways forwards, you have to draw a line in the sand and release at some point. It's natural that there my be low-hanging fruit for some people to pick up and improve on for some projects, particularly if they have different end goals than the initial project had.

Is minimum wage workers affording an average 1-2 bedroom apartment with no other householders a goal we have set? The French minimum wage is 1,521 euro per month. 30% of that is 456 euros, or about $513. According to the underlying study, the average 1BR in Alabama is $665. Is housing in France, on average, really that much cheaper than Alabama?

I don’t think these abstract targets are very helpful. According to the OECD, the US has some of the most affordable housing in the world: https://read.oecd-ilibrary.org/economics/the-average-oecd-ho... (showing percentage of disposable income left after housing costs).

Also, the demand for a “federal affordable housing policy” is pretty breathtaking. Look at the list of states that have the least affordable housing: New York, Massachusetts, etc. A federal program would basically mean bureaucrats from these states would be imposing housing policy on the whole country. That sounds like a great idea!

To me, it seems like the system is working as intended. Rather well, actually, because a bad doctor was brought to light with a fairly benign case rather than something potentially deadly later on.
Yeah but how hard was it to hire new people? There is a direct correlation. It's super easy to hire people at Netflix. It is literally just up to the hiring manager.

The flip side is that it is also easy to fire, so you can quickly correct any mistakes you may have made in hiring.

This of course means more churn. But to someone working there, this felt like a good thing. It means you didn't have people just biding their time like you see in most big companies.

Never once did I think, "how does that person still have a job?" Unlike the other big companies I've worked for, where there is always at least one person who you know is just floating as long as they can and getting away with it.
I'd disagree with that, management and HR, sure, but friendship with co-workers is important. Personal relationships are the main way people find jobs, and unlike with management and HR with co-workers at least nominally you're on the same team

I think this may be why I'm having a hard time appreciating them. Probably half the macros I see could just be a function call. The majority of those that don't are hiding a conditional return or goto, which I find to be a net negative.

I'll probably have to use a language with good macros before I can appreciate them.

Twitter is the worst with this as it ONLY has a heart. Even if you disagree, you click the heart to save it. There is no way to show another emotion and it desperately needs something like this, similar to Facebook.

The system isn't working when innocent people get hurt. If that is the 'system' then the 'system' needs to be torn down and rebuilt. It's the same issue with deregulation

I really doubt this is true. This is defeatist and assumes that there is no possibility to improvement anywhere that would reduce patient harm by malpractice. I'm sure that's not true.

The innocent being hurt is a problem.
Internet comment forums are sure a weird social dynamic. It feels like your talking with a group of friends, but also, we're all strangers meeting for the first time.

So cracking a sarcastic joke, a thing that really only works if you know your audience and your audience knows you, feels safe, but obviously doesn't work very well.
From the gov's point of view, citizens and companies are shareholders in the "US corporation". Right now, the poor citizens own a 10% stake in the corporation. UBI is about giving them maybe 20%, at the expense of diluting the share of bigger shareholders. The board members don't want to dilute their own share, but if the corporation goes out of business, their own stake won't be worth anything. The absolute numbers are irrelevant: what matters is the stake percentage, not whether it's measured in billions or trillions of shares.

It's relevant to understand that China's government/business relationship and their IP enforcement + state-sponsored hacking is considered the normal course of business in their (current?) value system. In the USA, the government/business relationship is (ostensibly) very different (although campaign finance + lobbying makes this claim dubious), so the US could easily misinterpret Chinese actions in this new "5th domain" as an act of war. When one of two actors believe that they are both at war, it doesn't take much for both actors to believe they are at war.

Also, I suspect with the 4 simultaneous crises (disease outbreak, economic depression, civil unrest, political loggerheads during this election year) the USA is having right now, China may well be able to outlast us and might end up the only "superpower" in a decade or two. A significant portion of the US population still thinks we are the "greatest nation" while our world rankings continue to slip below other OECD nations in {literacy, education, health, longevity, happiness, affordability, etc}. I suspect the "new cold war" is actually between two tribes in the USA. China just has to outlast our simmering civil war without galvanizing the two American factions together against them in battle.
The system is working rather well because an innocent kid has been hurt? What kind of system is that? That's a cruel and horrible 'system' and needs to be completely rethought.
For what it's worth, I've personally witnessed esketamine make major improvements to treatment resistant depression after a single treatment when nothing else is working worth a damn. So it's pretty clear to me that it is a real treatment with good cause for using it.

Now, it didn't work in our case because of underlying psychosis, which also means it's dangerous as heck and needs to be used carefully, but in terms of effect size, someone can go from rating their depression as 10 out of 10 down to zero in one treatment.

So I wouldn't be hasty to discard it, just careful to use it on the right people and maybe I'd figure out some way to deal with the psychosis so that those who might otherwise get excluded could have the benefits too.
