This works if there are multiple insurance companies competing for business, which would require everyone to be forced to healthcare.gov so there is a simple marketplace with sufficient number of insurance customers so that bad actors have competition.

And from my experience, the best healthcare is provided by Kaiser Permanente, which offers health insurance and healthcare under one company.

Pricing in medicine is jacked up because of low supply of workers (the grunt work is undesireable and doctors take a long time to license as well as residency funding restrictions), and infinite liability and legal costs that have to be priced in. On top of that, medicine is very complex, so you have to pay two or more very highly qualified people to double and triple check things.

Also, healthcare cost increases have slowed drastically since introduction of ACA:

$99/year is such a small amount relative to the costs of software development that it's hard to worry about. Meanwhile, there is good value. (The developer resources Apple provides are not free.)

You can argue that Apple should provide developer resources at no cost, but that just means someone else is paying for them or you will pay them in some other way... or do without.

I think at this point in the tech boom we can all understand that when a company gives you stuff of value at no cost there are significant tradeoffs and paybacks. In software development, I think you want most arrangements to be straightforward transactions. The strings attached to no-cost things tend to build up and cause problems, especially if you have success.

Edit: I struck a nerve, but I don't think this should be very controversial. I'll try to take the objections one at a time in comments.

Obscenity as a legal term is complicated. Culturally, even more so. One person's "obscenity" is another person's "vernacular of the street." What is obscene in Kuwait might be an everyday greeting in Sydney.

Primarily, you are arguing for compelling corporation to expend effort and expense to carry content deemed objectionable by officers of that company, and I'm not sure you've thought that through. You might think politically-[whatever] voices are being silenced--absent evidence--but if the US government decides to violate hundreds of years of established norms and force websites to cease censoring content, it won't be just content you favor that explodes. And if the US government can force Facebook and Twitter to carry content they don't like, then what legal standard separates them from Hacker News, for example?

You aren't contributing honestly. The police systems work, but they have problems. And again, don't view Canadian policing with an American lens.

Toronto, for example, has an independent division of police called the SIU, Special Investigations Unit. Any time an officer is involved in a violent altercation, the SIU is onsite and investigating. Not perfect, but better. They also have a mental health unit that responds to non-violent calls where people are in distress. Again, not perfect, but better. Toronto and Vancouver both operate safe injection sites. Toronto recently put up hundreds of homeless people into vacant apartments to get them off the street.

All this to say, I don't see these programs in the US. You guys aren't even trying to improve your Police. Don't view canadian police with an American lens.

But in practice, directing animosity at advertisers and platforms is an effective way to remove content you don't like. It doesn't matter if the platform/advertisers says that they don't necessarily endorse the content--there's nothing stopping users from pressuring them regardless.
I have come to disagree with the sentiment. The constitution prevents congress from restricting free speech because it is a document written about what congress can and cannot do, not because the authors wanted to argue that restricting freedom of speech was a job that should be left to individuals and businesses.

It is only in response to someone mistakenly arguing to assert their 1st amendment rights in a context where it isn't applicable that this rebuttal even makes any sort of sense--which is not the case for the OP, who didn't mention the 1st amendment or even the US at all. Even here, it is a pedantic argument, such a declaration is a mere technical mistake. In liberal democracies we value freedom of expression.
Doesn't this reasoning lead to all sorts of problems? There are countless people around the world that would be helped by a few extra dollars each week. As long as you personally are living above a subsistence level by this reasoning you should be taxed to improve their lives.

Or say, that two people that have lost their kidneys due to driving drunk and each having an accident, and that your kidneys are a good donor match. Should we take both your kidneys and give one to each of the drunk drivers? Only one person would suffer (too bad for you), but the two others would gain.

Or imagine, your daughter going to elementary school with her new birthday present, a stuffed animal. Three classmates are envious and jealous, should their teacher throw the little stuffed animal in the trash, making three classmates happy at the expense of you daughter?

Wouldn't it make sense by this reasoning for you to be forced to take a couple of homeless people as roommates? It would make their lives much better (even more so if you were forced to prepare meals for them), this only inconveniences you while benefiting your new roommates.

Well, many people seem to lack "common sense", of which everyone has their own definition. And absurdity is in the eye of the beholder.

I don't agree with what this company is doing, stealing content from a commercial product and making it free. But I can see they're making a point, as a kind of perfomance art and social criticism. They're brazen about its controversial nature, and perhaps the free content will benefit someone who doesn't have the means to access this knowledge.

It also makes me question, how will such knowledge production be funded, if not as (highly priced) commercial products? If everyone started stealing and giving away knowledge for free, how can it be sustainable? Is it even possible to "steal" knowledge? Well, yes, in the form of information/data - but, if it's digested and re-presented, as they have done here, does copyright extend to such works?

Perhaps their goal is to raise such questions in the audience.

It's funny to see this people complaining about losing their cash cow.

In all honesty, Kudos to them for milking those crazy amount of money off the platform (and the people).

But in all seriousness: 1. one can't seriously believe that easy money will always be this easy and abundant 2. competition drives the prices down and fighting the stigma on sex workers drives the competition up.

I'm not being judgemental or anything, it's just that the whole argument does not make sense, at all.

And btw as soon as something stops being a subculture, people like Bella Thorne will start showing up. It's sad, but happens in every space/environment.
Agreed with you on all points. Unfortunately housing policy decisions are made at a very local level in the United States, and local politicians are accountable to a very small number of squeaky wheels. And they can't afford to ignore even a few highly pissed-off wealthy voters. So what you end up seeing is that the wealthier, whiter people living closer in have enough political power to successfully stop new development, and then the development that does happen occurs in farther out areas that are poorer and blacker/browner and have less political say, and that's when you get gentrification. Trust me when I say that East Bushwick is not anyone's first choice for erecting new luxury apartment buildings, it's just that SoHo and its ilk have successfully been fighting all new construction for decades running.

That's why doing housing/zoning policy at a much higher level, ideally statewide, would be much better. Japan has that (for their equivalent of states) and you don't see these distortionary effects. Then you'd see the development happening where it really truly does make the most sense, and as a side effect gentrification would be lessened because not as much new construction would be happening in farther out marginal neighborhoods because the demand would be satisfied closer in. Incidentally this also has positive benefits in lower commute times and less environmental impact.
There are lots of good arguments against the use of these technologies, but disproportionate effect on marginalized communities may be ironically a less powerful one to people who believe in them, because the intent is to find indicators independent of the experiences of individual enforcers. Anyone with experience in marginalized communities knows it is a good bet to predict the self-sustaining effects of marginalization, which are violence, drugs, mental illness and exploitation by people there to take advantage of it. Doesn't take rocket science to predict where that's going to happen and to be there when it does.

The real solutions are way upstream of a police encounter, where these predictive models would have a way more viable impact in elementary and high schools where people can be nudged and diverted from police encounters in a more subtle and constructive way.

But even then the tech still reinforces and systematize the aggregate bias (or experience) of the data analysts, with the real danger it just becomes a justification, the same way statistics are always used, which is the way a drunk uses a lamp post - for support and not illumination. Whether it's teachers using it to mark and isolate kids from positive peers, or police using it to divert them from a bigger incident, it's the same underlying belief in social engineering that problematizes "other" people and tries to "fix," them.

We should begin by recognizing that these ML systems are weapons, not "solutions," and regulate the use of them in the context of weapons against an enemy other, then ensure someone holds personal individual accountability for that decision, including the social and political aspects of it.

The second order effect is that more-focused enforcement methods will necessarily mean more confrontations with people prone to violence, which creates a selection bias toward violent encounters with police, which makes these systems all the more dystopian.

Btw, since this is HN and its oriented towards startups let me pull this out of the teaching world and into management.+

I'm not alone. Andy Grove and his concept of Task Relevant Maturity (TRM) have a lot of overlap here. Primarily in understanding that someone's prior knowledge/experience will dictate their ability to accomplish the task at hand.

Where I differ from Grove is how to help someone when their TRM is low. He states this is a time to tell them what/when/how.

1) In a structured org like Intel in the 80's when Grove wrote High Output Management, maybe this worked. In a startup where the work to be done is often as yet unknown by manager and worker alike, trying to tell someone what/when/how doesn't work

2) The ability to handle ambiguity is itself a skill and one people need to develop maturity in handling. This is where I see the idea of productive struggle/desirable difficulties as a useful addition to Grove's TRM framework

+Good teaching is good management--both roles are about developing people and setting them up for success

Unfortunately, often people give other people money for a lot of reasons other than meeting their needs. Creating a "need" that didn't exist only so you can sell a product that people think will make them happy but actually won't is the basis of modern capitalism.
From your link -

"One of Jones’ most notorious conspiracy theories is that the government is using chemicals in order to turn people gay, using a mysterious “gay bomb” devised by the Pentagon."

Except BBC also pretty much reported on that in 2005 - "The US military investigated building a "gay bomb"" - http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/4174519.stm

And that's why I want Joe Rogan to interview him.

Apple created a process whereby applications are run through automated checks for malware in order to be approved for installation on MacOS by the public. The title is accurate. The process isn’t perfect, but human review isn’t perfect either. One issue this brings up is the false sense of security that review and approval processes such as this create among users.
They're not banning the software. They're banning doing business with ByteDance.

When a Justice of the Peace notarises a piece of documentation, they are not vouching for authenticity they are only voicing for certain claims made: the document was presented on a certain date, and/or that this copy is an accurate facsimile of the provided original.

Notarisation for macOS similarly only means, “the developer presented us with their application and their certificate of authenticity and we signed it with the certificate that allows macOS to run it without complaining.”

There’s no attempt by Apple to claim that the application is safe or does what it says on the tin.

Scanning for malware is simply to avoid embarrassing situations me an author/publisher finding they’ve been compromised by some well known malware.

The outcome of notarisation is that the app has been notarised.

It’s like claiming that the outcome of toasting a sandwich is approval or rejection, no the outcome of toasting a sandwich is you have a sandwich that is toasted, aka “toasted sandwich.”

You might reject a sandwich which isn’t built properly (eg: has mismatched bread slices, is missing contents or smells of dynamite). But toasting the sandwich provided by the customer doesn’t mean you actually like it.
