And how does what happens in Belarus match what happens in Russia? Lukashenka and Putin are different kinds of people, they do different politics, Russian and Belarussian governments are not that alike. Just because both of them are "dictators" doesn't mean their people think the same about them.

The people involved are getting a huge benefit and there is no reason to report it. Others who don't receive the benefit either don't know about it or are shouted down.

There is a culture in the US that the police are pristine warriors of justice and any accusations of wrong-doing are denied and ignored. There are also many laws that specifically protect LEO and government officials in general because there is a natural ethos that everyone working for The Good is always Good and whatever Bad they did must have been in the duty and service to The Good. Immunity is easy to achieve when the entire legal system wants you to be immune as a class and we are currently having a debate about qualified immunity regarding police in the US.

In my view it is the entire system that is corrupt. A fish rots from its head as they say.
Additionally Scotland had an similar issue - algorithmically adjusted grade estimates were discovered to have punished kids from poorer schools. This happened a few weeks earlier than the English A-Level results, which is interesting because the ruling party in the rest of the UK:

1. took a GREAT deal of pleasure in loudly trashing the Scottish government in the press ...

2. knew they faced the EXACT same issue themselves ...

3. did absolutely nothing about it ...

4. then did a frantic cleanup of the attacks (deleting tweets and such) after the English debacle unfolded

At this point I shouldn’t be surprised. It’s to be expected - they’re politicians playing their little game. But this debacle was avoidable - they could have faced the music earlier and started coming up with an alternative, but they chose instead to gloat, score a cheap win and kick the metaphorical can down the road.

For those not in USA, can someone summarize? I know (from reading online) that if you go a hospital, the bill can be scary. But what happens when companies offer health insurace with a position? That means it covers everything? Just a %? It depends on the topic (for example, hearth related sickes are covered, not more cosmetics ones)?

Who are the people who is becoming profitable with this? Doctors? Companies? Are doctors allowed to open their own offices and have high prices? From the outisde everything seem so confusing!

Why "certain groups"? It's not about groups, it's about personal relationships. If you get dog piled on Twitter and you know somebody on the security team, your problem goes away and the people annoying you get their accounts suspended or banned. If you don't, your problem will most likely remain as it does for most people.

It's not a conspiracy where all members of group x get a direct line to Jack Dorsey to take care of things, it's you knowing somebody who knows somebody and that somebody wants to help an innocent person out.

The problem is that Twitter is a private enterprise, and it's okay if they choose to run their system that way. The police aren't, and they're not supposed to favor anyone, no matter who they are. There's a saying in Germany, Dienst ist Dienst und Schnapps ist Schnapps (literally "Duty is duty and liquor is liquor") that articulates that. You might drink with somebody, but you must not let that influence your judgement while on duty. In a private company, that's somewhat different, you can't damage the company, obviously, but you're not bound by law, and company policies are -at best- rough guidelines.
Australia is very easy to emigrate to as a technology professional and has a relatively good universal healthcare system.

EDIT: @robotbeat: Yes, but I have lost my confidence in the US Congress and the electorate. Until that confidence is restored (Medicare For All is passed), I have to make plans to live in a functioning nation, as a single healthcare event can wipe you out entirely. I would rather pay more taxes (yes! I like taxes, with them I buy civilization) and take my wealth to where sanity prevails (and like minded citizens vote for representatives who vote in their electorate's interest, instead of against them).

Honestly, Thank you very much for creating this native app. I am fed up of my Macbook being served this Electron junk food that is filling up my computers RAM and disk space, which is unnecessary for the tasks I am doing. Discord, Keybase, Element, Zulip, Slack, Skype and many others are constantly fighting for RAM on my PC and running my system to the ground.

Some of the apps I mentioned are made by billion dollar companies with lots of employees and yet they still continue to use Electron to solve a problem that doesn't scale when multiple Electron apps are running. It's like Java but much worse. Yet you created a lightweight native alternative that is performant than the Electron counterparts. Not sure how it compares to Zoom (as that is native), but I would take your app (even if it is paid) over any Electron app Every. Single. Time.

I am starting to replace any Electron app whenever I can by exclusively finding native apps which direct using Cocoa, Qt, wxWidgets, etc. This is another app I am interested in looking at.

I can't deny that feed corn has good shelf life (they store it outside under a tarp when the silos are full). But there are other food streams that don't necessarily pass inspection, especially for perishable foods.

I know from a couple days at a food bank that cows can eat pretty bad apples, but there are badness levels that would be much safer for grubs or larvae to eat.

Feed corn takes a lot of water though, and I don't know how much longer we'll have that.

> For years, police records have shown that black drivers tend to be less likely than white drivers to turn up with guns or drugs when searched at traffic stops. At the same time, black drivers are three times more likely than white drivers to be subjected to these searches, according to a 2013 federal survey.

Yeah, health insurance in the US is kind of the opposite of insurance. It covers every-day expenses more-or-less but effectively will not cover unexpected large expenses (because the insurance companies will put the full force of their legal resources into not paying large claims).
Thanks! Yes, we were really inspired by how Figma has helped designers and their teams collaborate. In the same way that Figma has invited more non-designers into the design process, I feel Flux will invite more non-hardware people into the product development process.

Yep, exporting and importing from KiCAD and other software is critical for many workflows. We are continuing to add more import/export capabilities according to demand from our private beta users.

Cynically, the answer is "what are you going to do about it, punk?"
Also anecdotally, I'd say the only things that would make a clearly noticeable performance difference to a layperson or casual computer user from the last few years would be:

1. If they previously had less than 4GB of memory and were often swapping

2. If they previously had a spinning HDD and moved to an SSD

3. If they previously had a really low end CPU like something outside the Core range, and moved to an i5 or better

Beyond that, all the other stuff is either a marginal performance gain or a convenience feature. The only other "must have" thing from the last few years that I wouldn't want to lose is a high res monitor, but that falls into the convenience category for me and not performance.

Power users like your family member got quantifiable benefit from performance upgrades over the years, but if they were already running decent hardware like a Macbook Pro, they didn't get any life altering upgrades. Taking 15 seconds to compile vs 30 is definitely faster, but you still have to sit and wait each time you push the button, so any habits that you learned from the 30 second pause will probably continue.
The cards represent corruption, self-interest, and selective enforcement of the law. I think a lot of problems would be solved or help accountable for if those issues were resolved.
ACA has one important aspect of it, which is the universal coverage mandate. Plenty of people have voted against that. You can't have your cake and eat it too.
Ah. I stand corrected, then. If the car wasn't just held, but sold during this period, that's even worse than I thought.

I think the main concept here is not the exact syntatic construct used, but the idea of removing the behaviour from the data structure, so implementors of new structures are not bound contractually to implement every behaviour.

In a way, the concept of monads attempts to solve this, since each specific data type would only need to implement its respective map/bind method, to be able to work for any other specific operation, since bind can be used to perform both transformation as well as reduction depending on the operation you give it.

In the current atmosphere of raging nationalism, no opposition party will protest the legality/sensibility of the ban for the fear of being labelled "traitor"/"anti-national"/"friends of China" etc. Anyway, these are token populist bans without any real teeth. India lost 20 soliders in the Chinese aggression along the line-of-control; Modi didn't once name China as the aggressor responsible for that.

India doesn't have a strong and credible opposition. Otherwise, with the economy in shambles due to a series of shitty decisions like demonetization/poor implementation of GST etc, any component front shouldn't have much difficulty mobilizing popular support.

I'm not handing the cop the money, sure; but I'm handing his employer the money (the city, the county, whatever).

They're essentially saying "you can get a ticket or you can donate money to the city".

The way this applies to someone who can't afford the ticket is a bigger problem, similar to cash bail. If you can't throw them some money, you get shafted 10x worse.
I can't think of any other business that can get away with not even giving you a ball-park estimate on costs. If my car breaks down, my mechanic will at least give me an estimate within a hundred bucks or so. But a hospital has no idea what it will cost (and neither does insurance) until they finally negotiate that specific case.

Another issue is that insurance does not have to compete across state lines. They've divvied up the country and are sticking to their corners (much like ISPs).

Insurance should be required to accept customers from anywhere in the country. Hospitals should be required to publish prices. These seem like no-brainers to me. But hospitals and insurance make too much money, and give too much of it to congress for any real change.
Perhaps "give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free" doesn't carry the same meaning when no better life awaits. The exodus will happen slowly, then suddenly.

Like the move away from clock speed to signal computational power, focusing on the XXnm process for a cpu isn't something the user should use as a selection factor.

Dollar cost per compute, Watt-hr/compute, latency, io bandwidth, running on real world workloads. The process size is a red herring.

Any increases in single node performance are not red herrings and should be called out. This is excellent news.

If anything, it does insure you against catastrophic loss. ACA took away maximum benefit amounts.

The problem is most people don’t have enough cash to even pay for out of pocket maximums, which is around $25k to $30k for a family ($12k to $15k per year, but you need to have two year’s worth in case something happens to you at the end of the year and costs continue into the next year).
It's honestly a little weird, America health insurance can't be driven by demand. If it where, it would be cheaper.

Why is it that the providers and insurance companies isn't trying to undercut each other on price? I know very little about US health insurance, but I can only assume that it's not truly a capitalist system, something else most be at play, driving the prices up.
This is what elite libertarians wanted.
It's so sad.

When I changed jobs doing so / not had a lot of considerations to do with keeping / getting health insurance.

I feel like people would feel so much more flexible not having that tied to employment.
I watched it and it was awesome. With all the practice and planning ahead, there were many small last minute decisions made. Maneuvering the unplanned landing zone was nail biting!
AFAIK universal health care is a fairly popular idea in the US, including by self-identified republicans.
> how terrifying must it be for those less fortunate?

The people I know who are less well-off than me simply don't think about it. If the topic does come up, "well, guess I'll die" is the joke-but-not-really answer.

I know someone who was involved in a rather severe traffic incident where a driver disregarded the "no left turns" signal and cut across the bike lane where the person I know was riding a bike. The driver hit her square on and broke her right leg and caused her to fall to the ground and hit her head on a curb, and the driver subsequently left the scene. She (the person on the bicycle) is uninsured and now has several thousand dollars in medical debt that she is largely unable to pay and additional medical needs that are going unmet.

Situations like these, where I can be doing everything right yet still fail, are why I do not leave my job at a FAANG. I am largely healthy, though my spouse and kid have a couple of (minor) medical conditions, yet I am absolutely never going to be without the A-One-Top-Tier-Super-Golden medical insurance my employer provides.

I have wanted to start my own business or simply move to another job at another employer where the benefits are not as glittering but I cannot justify the risk.
Is that because it's the first time they've said they'll be able to do a widespread production run of 10nm?

I notice they're still going for their smallest core count chips first. No desktop, no HEDT, no Xeon. Nothing more than 4 cores. That's about half of their business that's still stuck on 14nm, and what should be their highest margin SKUs.
There's literally a monopoly "go" tile on it. Contrast this with the UK where the coppers like to get "go to jail" t shirts.
Before the pandemic I was a "digital nomad" and I had private health insurance that covered me literally anywhere in the world... except the United States. And here's the kicker: one year's worth of coverage was less than one month's worth of health insurance in the US.
I do not want my health insurance provided by the people that gave us the VA. Look at how "the best of us" are treated by the government when they're no longer needed.

How will they treat me who never served them?
The i7-1185G7 [1] has a 15W TDP and it will hit 4.8GHz, although maybe for a short time. So yeah, it's 100MHz slower than the i7-10810U [2] (I don't know if you can even buy that) but actual performance should be higher.

[1] https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/208664/... Intel appears to have eliminated the concept of a "standard" TDP and now it sounds like the laptop maker can set it anywhere within the range of 12-28W.

I mean... that's not why the limit is there. The limit isn't "how fast can you possibly go without feeling out of control", it's "how fast can you possibly safely go". Are they still operating with 20th century cars in mind? Yeah, but it's hard to argue that a school zone should be 60 MPH.

The real arguments are too dark to say aloud. E.g. without the perks over civilian life, the military would be unable to recruit a volunteer force large enough for empire.
ACA was nothing close to it because our voters don't allow us to get closer than that, as far as I can tell. I don't think people actually oppose universal healthcare, they just oppose the worst case scenario of its implementation, or some bastardized version of it, that is constantly emphasized by the politically/socially/economically powerful people on their side of politics. Some people even oppose it simply because it is associated with the other side of politics - that's frankly all it takes sometimes for an issue to be a non-starter.
Won’t you be eligible for Medicare once reaching retirement age anyway?

To me, M4A is about everyone BUT retirees. Just lower the eligibility age to zero.
That greatly depends on the type of insurance / plan (or at least it did...).

Cheaper plans absolutely apply to what you describe, or at least did a while ago, other plans do not. Even knowing can be hard.

But your description is way too general.
The issue is incremental compilation. It is common (although not universal) that the way the build system (interpreted broadly) remembers that there are errors in unit X is that it has failed to produce a (new enough) unit X. In that setting, -Werror turns warnings from something that might not be surfaced in a (re)build into something that will be.
You don't think that banning denying coverage for preexisting conditions is a huge step into solving this problem?
In theory you can predict the total cost for things covered by insurance, but there are many layers of complex bureaucracy involved and the insurance company is actively trying to get you to fall through a crack and end up on the hook for a real bill. The insurance company also is practically the arbiter of whether or not you did it correctly.

The best example, is that you can go in for a surgery or something at a covered hospital for a covered procedure, but you can be surprised because some doctor assigned to you isn't in your network. Sometimes this happens after you're already under knocked out for the surgery, so you can't practically consult your complex policy at the time.
> So if your country doesn't have an obvious minority population that has systemically been kept behind, you're not going to see as much police corruption.

I don't buy this. There are plenty of ethnically homogeneous countries that also has rampant police corruption (e.g. in Eastern Europe), and there are tons of other parameters that affect police corruption overall. We can't single out presence of minorities as a factor.
