His words on this are meaningless as his actions are the polar opposite, they are in court arguing that the entire ACA needs to be voided, and with it the pre-existing condition protections.
Say what you will about Minneapolis city government, at least it never invaded any foreign lands and killed hundreds of thousands of people.
Yep. There have always been echo chambers where hostile international relations, repressing rival political movements and even open corruption are seen as good things by millions of people in established liberal democracies.

Why would it be surprising this might also be the case for many Russians, with an existing tradition of hostile international relations with the West, and more repressive and corrupt governments, especially when many Russians also felt a lot poorer before Putin arrived?
True.

The problem in the US is that a large chunk of the population have been trained to be anti-tax regardless of goal.

They'll support Universal Medicine hypothetically but as soon as you talk about the required payroll tax they'll oppose it, even if it is lower than they're paying now in premiums. Then the conversation will immediately turn into a "government cannot be trusted"/"stealing my money" etc.

People will love it once it is online, just like the ACA/Medicare/Social Security, but getting it online is politically radioactive and will sink both the politician and party until people realize they love it.
There are very few people in the political system even in the Democratic Party that want to fix this. Healthcare companies and insurance providers are big donors to many people on that side of the aisle. Bernie was the best chance of that this year, but instead we arrived at an openly corporatist candidate who is vehemently against any real reform of the medical system. Admire your optimism though.

Also, it prevents one from having to get into too much detail: was it a group of persons? were other tools used? What does 'analyse' mean in this context?
On x86 you'd have to search pretty far back before the available ILP really dropped off. Some of the lower-end OoO ARMs might be a good testing ground, though. Say, a Raspberry Pi 4? Earlier-gen RPi used in-order cores.
The flow we are aiming for: users visit a site, they navigate a paywall and see the content is good. They add that domain to the auto-pay list. If it's clickbait, they dont. Hopefully by letting creators charge whatever amount they want, we can produce not just clickbait but well researched articles.

It has nothing to do with immigration status. Medicaid is available in California for people making below a certain income.
Some exchanges still sell historical tick data by posting over large amounts of HDD/SSD with the data preloaded.
"In the "accidental clone" scenario, I wouldn't just be losing memories of a few minutes of experiences; I'd also be losing whatever delta to my personality the discarded clone went through in those minutes. However, in most cases I wouldn't care because that delta would be miniscule."

It just seems weird to me that someone would think "I don't matter if there's a backup of my data somewhere and they could bring back a copy of me if they wanted." or "There's already a copy of me out there right now, so that makes my own death ok."

To me it wouldn't matter in the slightest if there was a clone out there of me. As long as I want to go on living, it's me having future experiences that matters to me, not whether some clone of me has these experiences.

Something else that hasn't been discussed yet is whether the clone really does have all your experiences and really is identical to you. How would you really know? Would you trust some scientist's or some machine's evaluation? I don't think you could ever really know.

Of course, for me it would make no difference as I wouldn't want to die so some clone may life, but it might matter to those of you who are willing to sacrifice yourself for a clone. In that case think: how would you really know they were a clone?

Sure, you could quiz them regarding some memories that only you had, but you couldn't ask them about everything. As important, you can't know if their experience of the world matches yours, nor what their true beliefs are.

Some people are surprised to find their life partners aren't who they thought they were, after decades of living together.. but you probably won't have decades to get to know your clone before you voluntarily suicide. In fact, in the "teleporter" example and in the mind upload example I'm hearing people eager to suicide even before their clone even exists. So no verification at all is even possible.

That kind of attitude just boggles my mind.
Remember that the vote that matters here is not the presidential one, but the congress one. So specifically, the hope is to elect the correct representatives.
Does not surprise me. Grade inflation with low quality education has resulted in people devoid of logic but sophistry to defend their position reassigning new meaning to words.
The word you're looking for I believe is efficacy.
Code size can have something to do with it, but less than you think.

Basically, you don't notice warnings because you choose not to look.

Firstly, no matter how large the program is, if it builds without warnings and then a change is introduced which triggers a warning, it will be noticed. You only don't notice a new, potentially important warning when it is drowned out by "nuisance" warnings that you stopped caring about months or years ago. This tends to be a problem in larger programs worked on by many people, but it could easily affect a small, solo-effort program as well.

You perhaps don't notice warnings because the build log is too long to read, and you haven't put in CI process which scans logs for warnings and produces feedback.
When you build locally, you don't bother using an IDE which picks up all the errors and warnings out of the build output an lets you navigate through them. This can be a problem when people don't build locally; they just throw the code into some remote build system and if it goes "green", they "ship it".
If you don't have enough to charge them or ask for a warrant, you don't have enough to restrict their civil liberties. That process exists for a reason.

Thank you. (I just noticed the thread where it was answered.)
When two black holes with a near-circular orbit and similar size merge, they should both be going close to the speed of light about their common center shortly before the merge. (Right?) Do close orbits tend to become more, or less, eccentric?

After the event horizon surfaces contact, does it become spherical in minimal time, or does it keep a complicated shape for an extended period? (E.g., until gravitational waves carry off enough energy?) And does the very large rotational momentum affect properties of the resulting black hole?
But they didn't release pricing information, so how exciting it will be isn't exactly clear.
What you're describing is completely illegal now. 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 think app stores across mobile OSes maintain region specific marketplaces. Developer accounts are also able to be localized. I assume it is trivial for, say, Google to block all apps from Chinese developers on the Play Store for any customer localized to India.
Hi Greg,
We have two mechanisms for the state we use. The first one is web sockets for our multiplayer features like keeping our real-time cursors for multiplayer smooth.

For the document state (the circuit document) we are using Google's Firestore to keep the state synced across users. One of the problems we encountered is that documents can become quite large and always sending the whole latest states can even cause state issues by overwriting other changes if they are made at the wrong time. So we added some custom logic to always keep a full document ready for users who do the first load to be quick, and once you loaded the document you directly get the updates in granular changes synced as patch set itself. This allows users to locally jump back and forth in the time since each patch is essentially like an atomic change committed by the user and tracked in the version history.
> The US government says that private insurers deny 20% of claims.

Most insurers deny every claim. Hospitals employ pretty large teams (of nurses, mostly) whose job it is to go through these denials and justify the medical care a patient received while in the hospital. If the insurance company doesn't think the treatment was necessary, they won't pay. If they can find a technicality, such as, a patient came in for a belly ache, but had a heart attack, they won't pay.

I'm willing to bet this 20% figure only represent denied claims not absorbed mostly, or entirely by the hospital.

I've been pushing the person whom I get this information from to write a book, because most Americans are completely ignorant about how fucked the health insurance scheme is in the US. That $6,000 asprin on your hospital bill is there to cover all the aspects of your treatment that the insurance company will successfully deny.
Awesome! Congrats on the launch!
It seems that this stereotype is too generic and sweeping to be useful even if it was true.

Instead we could use facts that are already known about e.g. Putin -- that he's an individual for whom sowing fear is more important than not being blamed, as the other similar poisonings have shown.
> If it ultimately comes to do that, then it will be infinitely more difficult to give triviality the appearance of profound speech".

Hah, talk about irony.
That has created an entire industry called "medical billing" where the job is to submit claims properly so as not to be rejected.

To be fair, fraud is probably a thing from every angle so having some process to prevent that makes some sense. But for patients with serious problems or families of those that just died, battling bureaucracy over large sums of money can be brutal.

Citation needed. Do you have any numbers on that?

I'm skeptical that BeOS has better latency than modern OSes on modern hardware.
I think the argument concerns how commonplace bribery is.

This exists, but is relatively small in scope. And no, I don't agree with the "universal bribery is democratic" argument, because the end goal is to arrive at 0 bribery.

When taught in January at MIT, a highlight was something I'd not seen elsewhere: someone called it the "aftermath" (3-pun). After the one-hour traditional-ish lecture (on video), the room was reserved for an additional hour.

When previously taught, people would remain afterwards to ask questions, discuss math, and chat. So this was an iterative-improvement formalization of that.

People would gather in front of the blackboards in fluid discussion clusters. Catalyzed by the three instructors and wizzy others, not all having to stay for the entire hour, but drifting off as discussion died away. They could show material they had pruned from the lecture, for want of time. Or got dropped as they ran over. Alternate presentation approaches they had considered, before selecting another. They could be much more interactive. One commented roughly "If I was tutoring someone, I'd never present the material this way". It was a delightful mix of catching the speaker after a talk to ask questions, a professor's office hours, a math major's lounge, an after-talk social, tutoring, an active-learning inverted classroom, hanging out with neighbors in front of the hallway blackboard, chalk clattering and cellphones clicking to snag key insights... It was very very nifty.

So, the book is nice. And lecture notes. And videos. But... the best part isn't there. Perhaps the next iterative improvement is to capture the aftermath on video, and share that too.

And as we look ahead, planning distance-learning and XR tools... maybe something like this is a vision to aspire too. The insane ratio of expertise to people learning is not something one can plausibly replicate in meatspace. But as conversations in front a virtual blackboard gradually become technically feasible, something like this might pay for the cost of it, with transformative impact.
I disagree. The bottleneck is usually your eyes, not the monitor. On 1080p you can use small bitmap fonts that are legible even at low resolutions. 4K mostly gives you more flexible typography aesthetics, which doesn't improve programming productivity.
I think it feels like traveling back in time :)
It does seem a little odd, to me. If somebody tries to bomb a place, and the government screwed up the chain of custody on the evidence, of course they shouldn’t be imprisoned (see cases like Mapp V. Ohio). In addition, they have a right to a trial by a jury of their peers. Throwing someone in jail for years is the most severe of civil rights violations if unwarranted, justifying a very high standard of evidence.

Perhaps the evidence our suspect bombed a plane wasn’t quite strong enough for “beyond reasonable doubt”, but they did lose a civil case from the victim’s families under “preponderance of evidence”. Whence cometh the opinion that “beyond a reasonable doubt” must be the standard of evidence before someone is searched before boarding a plane?

When attempting to board an airplane, where different levels of physical screening take different amounts of time and resources to perform, and it’s not practical to fully screen everyone, we ought to apply the same legal standards of a criminal conviction to differentiate different levels of screening? Even if there’s “clear and convincing” evidence the person bombed a plane before, we ought to let them through anyway without even patting them down? Do we need a jury of peers at the ready at every checkpoint to make this determination? Would you also apply this same standard before someone could be restricted from admittance to the halls of congress, to Fort Knox, or to a warehouse in a major city storing many tons of seized fertilizer?

For reference, here’s a full list of the standards of evidence in the US, ordered from weakest to strongest:

1. Some evidence

2. Reasonable indications

3. Reasonable suspicion

4. Reasonable to believe

5. Probable cause

6. Some credible evidence

7. Preponderance of the evidence

8. Clear and convincing evidence

9. Beyond reasonable doubt

Free markets do a really good job of allocating resources most of the time. People are generally very good about making decisions about what clothes to buy, what food to eat, what house to live in, etc. There are some exceptions there, but its easy to design market incentives to guide them to better choices.

Heath care really doesn’t work with free markets though. People just aren’t able to make good decisions when it comes to health care, and profit focused business are able to exploit that, which results in horrible outcomes. It’s not hard for a lay person to assess the advantages and disadvantages of different cell phones sold from different retailers and from different providers, but how can people assess the pros and cons of different cancer treatments from different doctors at different hospitals? The complexity of biology and medical treatment is much much greater than anything people have to deal with in their normal lives. Decisions are almost impossible to make.

Also consider that allocated resources based on a price/demand relationship doesn’t really work. Right now, health care companies focus on developing treatments for conditions that mostly afflict the rich, rather than treatments that could help the most people. It would not be hard for a medical board to make decisions about where research and treatment priorities are. We have lots of good data on how people are getting sick and how they get better.

Lastly, if you get sick for no fault of your own, whose burden should that be? That burden should be spread across society as a whole.
> "misunderstandings of the threat model"

> "It's surely safer than eating in a restaurant."

by saying "safer", without any qualifiers on magnitude, that's making the same mistake. most things we do on a daily basis are safe. being 0.001% less likely to get infected is technically safer, but not practically so.

what's not relatively safe? gathering with random people breathing each other's direct exhaust for long periods.

now, you might think a restaurant is an example of that, but it's not. yes, you'll be sharing exhaust with your tablemates, but you shouldn't be eating with people you don't know/trust in any indoor setting, not just in restaurants. and with just a little precaution (i.e., distance), tables are relatively isolated transmission-wise, despite the general misperception of the risks of aerosol transmission (most people aren't infected, but when they are, virus particles land nearby and fall apart relatively quickly). restaurants aren't particularly unsafe. the same can't be said for bars and clubs, which resist such safety mitigations by their very nature.

also, if singing softer is the only mitigation, rather than distancing with an awareness of vocal exhaust flow, then it isn't really much safer. avoiding extended exposure to natural exhaust is the key, proper distancing being the easiest (and often least inconvenient) and therefore most effective measure.
I am not referring to fake government-run polls.

I am referring to polling agencies that are very west-leaning, and even they can't blatantly lie about it. His approval rating as of a month ago is 59-60% [1][2][3].

In fact his approval rating after the annexation of Crimea was at all time high of 85%. Check the sources. Again, these are not government-run polls.

Passing any change in the US healthcare system requires consensus across the House, the Senate, and the Executive Branch, so it is by no means a one-person job.

Bernie favoured the radical overhaul it frankly needs. But if you can't get that, any progress is still progress.

In my experience with research computing, if you are able to keep a computer doing active work more than 60% of the time, it will be cheaper to purchase and run that computer yourself than renting it from AWS. That's the case even with commodity machines with only 10G Ethernet interconnect. $15k for a machine is only $0.34/hour over 5 years. That doesn't buy much of an AWS machine. (Yes, cooling, real estate and power are all overhead on that, but researchers often don't pay those costs directly, they are covered by the university with other monies.)

But if they have just committed a crime the system wouldn’t know to look for them, would it?

However assuming that it takes a while for the suspect to decide to skip town, it’s perhaps useful. The next question is whether it’s worth spending the money on these machines, hiring people to run them, and inconveniencing the innocent travelers (presumably 10^9 X the number of perps collared) is worth the occasional arrest. Ignoring false positives of course. And especially when there are plenty of other ways to skip town.

I have a separate problem with scope creep.

> Yup, insect farms typically use grains as the feed. Grains which you could eat directly (after baking or cooking, of course) which would be more calorically efficient.

Black soldier fly larvae can be fed almost any organic matter, including waste. The use of grain as feed for insect farms (which can largely be attributed to grain subsidies) doesn't imply it's the end-all energy input.

Thanks again for the detailed thought! We actually [developed more advanced bit slicing syntax]( https://github.com/google/xls/blob/1b6859dc384fe8fa39fb901af... ) since that example was written, you can do things like a standard slice `x[5:8]` or a Verilog-style "width slice" that has explicit signedness `x[i +: u8]`. There's currently no facility for "destructuring" structs as bitfields like pattern matches, but there's no conceptual reason it can't be done, I think that'd be an interesting thing to prioritize if there's good bang for the buck. [Github issue to track!](https://github.com/google/xls/issues/131) Let me know if I missed out on details or rationale, thanks!
Right; I don't doubt that Solaris 9 had its issues, but it was released in 2002; its contemporaries were things like Red Hat Linux 8 and Slackware 8.1 - it seems reasonable to expect that by modern standards, all of the old stuff sucked, albeit in different ways and degrees.
