I know people who use VPN, but can't reinstall windows. Using VPN today is so simple, people do that without even knowing that they do. For them, it's: "I installed this thingy and now I can watch Hulu" and not "I install VPN to route my traffic via other country in order to by-pass national firewall"

I think it shows that a sizable portion of the citizenry considers this acceptable. I.e., they're enamored with the idea of getting preferential treatment for themselves or their friends, with little regard for the implications. It makes me figuratively (and a bit literally) want to vomit.

Related to this is the cost of care in the United States versus the outcomes is completely out of band of the rest of the world. So not only are you trying to budget for expensive healthcare, that expensive healthcare doesn't get you better outcomes on average anyway.

> One could picture a future earth where most of the open space is preserved for the wild, and us humans live in and around our cities. Wouldn't that be a nice change from the way we're currently destroying our only home.

It would be nice. Will depend on whether the new industrial process is cheaper than spreading out into the wild. Also these economics are a function of how long-term our thinking is. E.g. fossil fuels are cheap in the short term, but expensive in the long term.
We really should fix the VA though too.
That gives me an interesting idea. What if employer provided health insurance was outlawed? Once people see the real costs of their coverage, I feel they'll all be all in on reform of some kind.

I feel the same way, the record editor is pretty esoteric and reminds me of schema.org really. For any hope of adoption by small business I think it needs to be something registrars buy into with a more user-focused interface which is more like "describe your business to us" than "populate our data format". Large corps, DNS is surprisingly often managed by marketing departments, and you're going to find them asking questions like "so we can't advertise our complementary services to someone looking for our phone number? we can't style it? Why would we want that? We can't track conversion?" All of these are probably positives to the user, but in direct conflict with the interests of the people actually in control of the domain.

edit/ of course the only way around this is for apple and google to make it mandatory to appear in their mobile dialer app or something, but google at least will never do that because in the "way things are" example we can see many, many user-unfriendly situations that are great for google's metrics and revenue

It's hard to get closer to it as a voter when we don't have anyone to vote for who isn't bought and paid for by Super PACs funded by insurance companies. It's tantamount to bribery and the only reason we aren't prosecuting people like former Senator Joe Lieberman for killing the public option is because people like the former Senator were the ones that wrote the laws that make such bribery legal.

It did say that if I didn’t have. ‘Satotious’ wallet then I could get one... but I think if you’re hoping people will get themselves a wallet and use it, it might be better to optimise first for the case of not having one.
I've read the Fagles' translation of The Iliad, but the only Odyssey translation I've read is Wilson's.

Fagles is my favorite of the two, because he gave me more of what I wanted: high diction and mythic tone. Wilson's translation was great, and evidently captured the spirit of the Greek much better, but I wasn't really looking for that. I'm not a classicist, I don't read Greek. I want my blood to be stirred by evocative lines that transport me into a non-existent past. I don't think that's what Wilson was trying to accomplish, so it's no surprise she doesn't succeed at it.

But, to answer your question, one advantage of the Wilson Odyssey is that it is a really fast, fun translation to read. Whereas I found Fagles to be more of a study, Wilson was practically a page-turner. I'm not saying it was dumbed-down in any way! It's an amazing achievement to have maintained fidelity to the source text while also writing something approachable and engrossing for popular audiences. When she finishes translating the Iliad, I will buy that too, and probably give both her translations to someone I want to have a good experience with Homer. I wouldn't do that with Fagles.
The problem right now is that camera footage is handled by the police departments. Any oversight requires the police to operate in good faith. Thinking back to how many news reports I've seen where the footage was "lost" or "the cameras were not switched on" I don't have any trust in that type of system.

We really need third party monitoring.

It is definitely a perk. That and cheap housing, paid-for education and years of experience in whatever field you get put in.

Under the Affordable Care Act, which applies nationwide, insurers are required to cover out-of-network emergency care as if it was in-network care, which means your deductible and coinsurance can't be higher than the regular in-network amounts.

I find this one hard to swallow. On 60Hz software is already the bottleneck even on high end hardware. If anything, it’ll drive a perfectionist mad because crappy software that the high end hardware allowed to operate just over that threshold (say 64Hz) would suddenly be exposed.

I think jitter is more important than FPS and until software has caught up (likely never) I would rather cap the frame rate at 60 FPS and experience that somewhat consistently rather than have such disparate performances.

It’s the same thing with retina/HiDPI. It’s amazing when everything is retina, but all the random bits and pieces of UI, let alone entire softwares, that appear blurry make for a worse experience than a strictly low dpi UX.

I remember a discussion on why flattr did not take of. The user argumented, that micropayments are not interesting for normal content creators, cause they will only get peanuts at the end of the month. Macropayments instead, which you receive via patreon are much better. You may have a couple of supporters whos payments still might accumulate to a couple.of hundrets.
But those would be randomly distributed so it would not affect the top ranks much.

> global language

Global dialects have very little nuance or sophistication, English included. Though, it may be hard to realize that on a site like HN where those who use English as a second language also tend to be well-versed in American English, not to mention highly educated.

Have you ever heard young people speaking Singlish (Singapore) or Hinglish (India) in informal settings? I have and it's immediately obvious that I'm missing alot of nuance, and conversely (despite the high education and familiarity with American culture of the listener) I've learned to be careful with my Americanisms lest they be taken the wrong way. Heck, even in the U.S. there are different forms of sarcasm and irony, both across geographic regions but also, most clearly, social strata. Or compare American English across time. Written American English from 200+ years ago seems facially clear, but just because it seems clear doesn't mean we're not blind to various nuances. Likewise for just 100 or even 50 years ago--contemporaneous culture is encoded in the interstices at least as much as its encoded literally.

The reason global dialects lack nuance is precisely because you can't dissociate culture from language, and local cultures will tend to be richer as they can evolve faster and more independently. Global dialects have to take a least common denominator approach, not only in their grammar and diction but in the shared experiences they reflect.

Good luck with it.

Project Reunion seems to have rebooted everything, which is most likely the reason for it to have stalled.
Oh the state that has been owned and run by single party (democrats in this case) for decades is corrupt?

Duh, when people are guaranteed an election they tend to write laws for whoever pays them the most. There isn't anything surprising here it's a lack of accountability by anyone to talk about it.

The only reason why it's causing issues now is because it involves police and it's cool to hate law enforcement now. I'm not surprised to see the democrats try to build a strong government here because that's what they were elected to do.

> If CPU knew it is iterating over a fat pointer, it could safely internally unroll the loop or even vectorize the operation.

That should already be possible with the C custom of passing an array's size alongside the array pointer. As I understand it modern CPUs have very sophisticated loop-detection for doing precisely this kind of thing.
There were three camps in my school - the "soccer is our life" group, the "who needs PE anyway" and the "I've got to go for a 10k run for my extra curricular sport anyway, might as well do it during school time" group. PE for 3 years just saved me having to do a run before school that day.
I've recently been going through this process learning how terrible our medical billing system is in America

Here's some examples...

1. You might go for a surgery. You'll get a bill from the anesthetist, doctor, and the facility. The anethestist might not be in your network, so insurance doesn't cover it. Not only that, all three places can bill whatever they want, multiple times even.

2. You go to the specialist doctor for a visit. I recently went to two different ENTs just for a nasal checkup. One billed a claim for $1000 just to inspect my nose on a first time visit and billed it as a "surgery" procedure code. To be fair I signed a waiver stating I would pay things outside of insurance, that's just because I don't know any better and scheduling doctors appointments take forever. Insurance covered a small portion of it, hospital reduced it a bit, but now I have to pay $250 on top of a $60 normal pay for visiting (copay)

So basically, I have to pay $300 for visiting a doctor, for a basic checkup. I expected to pay $60 with my insurance.

AFAIK, in other countries, there's just a catalog of prices of how much everything costs. The doctor tells you how much things cost up front, you agree and pay for it. That's how things should work

Here in America, we artifically mark up everything by a huge amount, and insurance pays a portion of it, depending on your setup. You pay the rest of that inflated amount past a certain amount in your insurance coverage.

You can negotiate rates after the fact, but the hospital networks can just say no. You have to pay it anyways.

Basically you're always in financial jeopardy when you go to the hospital. The people profiting are all in the medical industry. The end user (you) is always screwed over.

If you want to fight a bill, you call the insurance company, they'll tell you to call the doctor. The doctor will tell you to call the insurance company. Either that they'll say they will try and renegotiate terms in 10 days, which at this point you'll probably get tired of fighting it and pay up anyways. Its pretty much a waste of time.

Health insurance does provide a financial net, but only to a degree. My out of pocket max I might have to put out in a year is $10k. The average out-of-cost payment after insurance might be $2k, so I might expect to pay $2k out of pocket. But the hospital can bill whatever I want, so I might be out $10k in cash now. I have no control over how much I will be billed for, even though I know how much things generally get billed for.

The analogy is like going to a restaurant. You order a burger. You don't get to see the menu prices, but the waiter tells you its $10. You get a check for $50. You don't understand why but you have to pay it anyways. That's the medical system here in the states.
Yea, one lesson I also learned the hard way is to stop asking doctors if they "take my insurance". They all will gladly take your insurance, meaning they take the insurance card and laugh at you while knowing that none of what they bill will actually be covered.

Don't ask the doctor anything. Ask your insurance company whether the doctor in question is in-network. This of course assumes you are conscious, and can do such due diligence.
Except that it doesn't even really cover every-day expenses... Yes, if you have a catastrophic event it will kick in, but realistically if you are a healthy person, you are paying hundreds per person per month for coverage, plus will pay out of pocket for most of your care in a year before hitting that $5K+ deductible. It's simultaneously too expensive to not have insurance AND too expensive to go to the doctor.

I'll never quite understand why I have to pay out $XXX for a blood test that might give me preventative feedback about my health, yet once I finally get heart disease, cancer, diabetes, etc, magically the health system and health insurance system kick in. The whole system is perverse.
So I actually had a health-related bankruptcy.

1: Your insurance is tied to your employer but you can also get insurance on the private market. Generally Employer insurance is much much cheaper as the employer can negotiate with a large number of seats over costs and has a vested interest in employee health.

2: Health insurance generally works like car insurance with a deductible that you pay out of pocket to a point and then everything past that point is covered by insurance. Some services (such as a doctors visit or ER visit may be covered at a set price [such as $40 a visit]) whereas an Xray or such would be billed to you until you hit deductible. The deductible on a PPO plan may be something like $2,000.

Now..let me tell you the insane ball game here.

You may think: Well if health insurance is like $400 a month, if I'm healthy, why even have it?

For one, there was a Tax fine for not having health insurance of ~$600.

For another...Hospitals bill non-insurance patients full amount but insurance companies (who when you have health insurance act as middlemen) an agreed upon amount.

These amounts are massively different.

I had just lost my company insurance when I became a contractor for another company, I did not have insurance yet.

I ended up in the ICU for 6 days due to a really crazy blood pressure related inter-cerebral hemorrhage.

I found myself two weeks later being asked to pay over $100,000 over the phone by their billing department.

Talking to someone, I was told to ask for an itemized bill. It was over 50 pages long.

It noted an MRI as a $6,500 procedure.

Later I got insurance and went back for a follow up MRI.
The insurance company sent me a bill for the co-pay and on it I saw the same $6,500.00 bill...but with a line item below it:

`Insurance Group Discount -$6,120.00`
America.

The fact of the matter is that healthcare costs are really not that high, but insurance companies are hedged into the position that they are made necessary by the system and everyone is required to hold it. In a country with universal healthcare none of this exists as all prices are set and approved by the country making it all public.
It's too late. You are better off sending millions of them out to people (inflation).
Both public services which don’t directly bill you. Maybe something like a public health system is a good idea...
