Having lived in several European countries I'd say Finland has probably one of the weaker health care systems.

* every legal resident has access to basic health care in their own municipality. A visit costs around 30 euros, max 700 euros a year (Which is a lot compared to Germany, cheap compared to the US). Queues can be long, several weeks. Negotiation skills help, but as a foreigner you might get blocked completely as a trouble maker if you think to negotiate in English

* nearly everybody with a full employment contract has basic health care coverage by their employer at a private provider. Normally you get an appointment the next day or so and you pay absolutely nothing. So most employed people just skip their "free" public health care, because it is worse. Yes, the employement health care is subsidized by tax money (although they are cutting back). This is not mandatory, so the details especially for mor expensive treatments and examinations vary a bit. When your employer stops paying you need to fall back to public service or pay yourself.

* for kids around 50% have private insurance to avoid the queing at the public service

* medicines are expensive compared to Germany, but cheap compared to market prices. Well, basically they are covered by the public health insurance, but the compensation is far from 100%, own contribution max 600 euros a year.

* hospital care is 50 euros a day, max 700 a year. There can be some queues, but for acute cases there should be no problem. (Non-acute cases can be a pain.)

In real serious cases the 1500 or so Euros you pay a year is of course cheap compared to complete bankruptcy or even remaining without good treatment. Being relatively healthy paying several 100 Euros a year is more than you would pay in many European countries with a public health insurance systems.
After Metrowerks' CodeWarrior became popular, Projector was still used. There was a CodeWarrior plugin for it:

In later versions of MPW, Projector was split off as a separate executable, SourceServer. Searching for MPW SourceServer finds a number of hits.
Do you have a source for the 2:1 ratio in Seattle? I ask not because I think it’s false, but because I was looking for similar data earlier and couldn’t find it.
minerjoe is mentioning Fossil specifically because unlike Git it also provides the features (in a broad sense) that GitHub provides (wiki, bug tracker, discussion forum, news/blog, "released" files and of course version control) while remaining fully distributed - these are stored and versioned as part of the repository itself.

As a nice bonus Fossil is a single executable/binary file you can drop anywhere and can act as both the CLI for working with the repository and as the web backend with a bunch of ways to access it including CGI, it's own web server or even as a fake script parser (you can upload the linux binary to any shared host that supports custom script parsers -many do- and use a "script" with a shebang that calls the binary with the path to the repository file, thus allowing you to use Fossil with shared hosting services that do not even know about it).
Oops, of course. Good point!

Yeah, as an expat I would love living next to an elderly dying because he can't afford treatment and is waiting his gofundme to work out, I also would love being 5 times more likely to be a robbery victim[0] thanks to lack of social welfare and social support for people in economic struggles, I would also love to have at least a few more veterans begging for money in the streets, and don't get me started on how much I would love to live with a poorly-funded educated system that raises people that end up becoming anti-vaxxers, flat-earthers among many other colorful irrational believes.

> And VSCode has the best TS plugins and the latest cool stuff.

I don't know why or how, but JetBrains IDEs (WebStorm, IntelliJ, etc.) have much better TypeScript support than VS Code. I've used them both on the same project, and it's painful to use VS Code.

The main advantage of the JetBrains IDEs is that their built-in hinting/linting and code sense are much better. VS Code will fail to warn me about things that JetBrains does by default.

Question about the GitHub repo, out of curiosity. Did you only start using git in preparation of the open source release?

I don't know PHP. Since your code base looked clean, was hoping to learn some PHP by following along with your git logs, but the beginning of the Ibis universe was only 2 days ago with a very mature code base.

You can see how Islam addresses this issue in a very pragmatic and moderate manner. People are heavily encouraged to work and generate wealth, at the same time, it acknowledges that there will be a poorer segment of the population due to different factors (opportunity, luck, hard work, inheritance, etc.).

Islam requires a form of "charity tax" called Zakat. Its proceedings goes to the poor and needy, among others (e.g. freeing slaves, wayfarers, etc.). The percentage is different based on the commodity (e.g. livestock is taxed differently from cash), but the percentage is fixed (only 2.5% in the case of cash money annually).

However, and extremely importantly, it also prohibits exploitative and parasitic practices that cause very unfair advantages to some at the expense of others. Obvious things like lying and cheating (e.g. false advertising), but also very important issues of lending money with interest, selling what you don't own, selling debt for debt, etc. Most of which you'll find on Wall St. as normal behavior. Everything inside these boundaries is up for grabs. Remove these horrible practices, and things will get better almost by definition without having to start taxing people even more.

I love that you're thinking of this. It'd be straightforward to build an orchestrator around this graph to perform automated pen-tests - like if an EC2 instance is compromised, the attacker can dump instance metadata (creds) and assume the IAM role that the instance runs as, and then from there potentially pivot to others and repeat. It'd be great as a pen-tester to be able to click on a graph node and say "give me a shell here" and then be dropped right in.

Yup, that's my takeaway. You see the same thing when you use future Fed moves as well (which is one way of checking that this graph isn't missing out on some announcement effect, as assets lag announcements).

IMO K3S is quite low maintenance and easy to setup. You just need to run a one liner to install and run the cluster. My only gripes is the internal certs only has 1 year expiration and to rotate it you'll have to restart the cluster a few months before the expiration date (it won't rotate the cert unless you restart it near the expiration date). It would be great if the internal cert has long expiration time (RKE has 10 year expiry by default) or provides manual control for rotating internal certs.
But would the lenders adjustments offset the huge rise in prices from people not selling?

> Also, isn't Finland a country where you pay health insurance?

Not really. You pay income taxes in general, and some portion of that funds the public healthcare system, but healthcare isn’t something you ever have to think about in particular.

I was in the same shoes as you and had zero concerns about it (yes I realized that a very lucky position to be in). Even if I had something horrible happen my max out of pocket was like $4k for the year with no limit to coverage.

If I lost my job, had zero income and no insurance I’d qualify for Medi-cal.
On many systems,

grep '[A-Z]'

will match 'y' but not 'z' (note the case). This is due to collation of the system's locale, which intersperses upper- and lowercase letters.

Usually what you want instead is

LC_ALL=C grep '[A-Z]'

(to match ASCII uppercase letters), or

grep '[[:upper:]]'

(to match your locale's uppercase letters).

FWIW I cannot reproduce this on my system any longer; it seems to vary by distribution. See e.g. [1].

Yes, but I won't last forever either. I have, if I try very hard, 40 years of useful employment left in me. It's possible that the Holy Karelian Empire will displace US hegemony in the next 40 years, but it's not that likely. It's also possible - and much more likely - that Finland will end up on the wrong side of the US and maybe be a site of a hot proxy war between the US and some upstart superpower within the next 40 years, but that also seems fairly unlikely.

Forty years ago the world was not too different - the USSR and East Germany existed and China was not so strong, but the shape of the rest of it was otherwise broadly similar. There are very few countries that were prosperous and peaceful and lightly-armed in 1980 that are bad choices today.

Buddy there are plenty of people in jail right now based on extremely flimsy evidence such as simply being in the vicinity of a crime.

All your comments in the thread are about "proving it," when, at the end of the day, it's up to 12 people in a box, most of whom don't know the first thing about bitcoin. Refusal to decrypt, wife moving Russia, etc... The government is going to make an extremely convincing case, with plenty of witnesses and all the time and money and lawyers they need. Meanwhile you'll be communicating with your defense lawyers from behind bars. You might be right -- maybe they can't prove any ill-intent -- but that's not a gamble with the odds in your favor.
Coverage issues happen in EU with public insurance as well - years back one of my coworkers son had an eye tumour, the experts in country didn't want to treat him because they knew their equipment wasn't precise enough to treat it without blinding him, the medical insurance would not cover out-of-country treatment because the procedure could be performed in-country. He ended up asking for charity to pay for it out of pocket (can't cash out retirement fund). Another coworker needed to get a private surgeon for his father because he was old and the waiting list on cardiac surgery was months, he was not a priority because age/condition.

I don't understand how those amounts can be larger than you can pool from a support network if you have insurance. Even if you lose your job/insurance your spouse can cover you ?
Thank you, I have only noticed this occurring after clicking a different video first. It is probably due click highjacking or the like.
Scale and perspective aren't exactly precise in any of these sorts of images
That’s not true, because appreciation isn’t uniform in a housing market. Not everyone experienced the same value gain, so your tax bill might be hundreds of thousands of dollars while your neighbor’s tax bill might just be thousands of dollars.

This is also why capital gains taxes don’t get priced into equities and securities.
The US doing silly things doesn't mean we need to measure other countries by that yard stick.

'Fair' by itself is a pretty meaningless term.

A simple example:

Assume for the sake of argument, that we agree that all else being equal that people without kids should pay higher taxes than people with kids.

Now, progressive income tax systems are fairly common and often seen as fair. So it might make sense and be fair, to make rich childless people without kids pay a bigger penalty for that choice than poorer people.

So far so boring.

But let's flip our perspective now:

Take the childless case as the baseline and instead talk in terms of getting tax allowance for having kids.

Now we can argue that rich people shouldn't get a bigger tax allowance for having kids. That wouldn't be fair! At most they should get the same tax allowance as poor people, or perhaps even a smaller one.

If you step back a bit, you see that talking about a tax allowance or a tax penalty are just two faces of the same coin depending on what you see as the baseline.

Just talking about some nebulous fairness let's you argue for either approach.

So you need to supply some extra information to actually make a decision.

The problem with that argument is that industries are consumers too. If anything is going to send Australian firms bankrupt, it's forcing them to pay exorbitant prices for steel and network routers that their competitors can buy cheaply.

It might be because I'm more familiar with the syntax, but I find gitlab-ci easier to reason about than github actions. At least, it's a single file instead of a workflow and any number of actions.

This is to say, if I were in Jeff's situation, I would seriously consider moving to GitLab (with mirrors in github for visibility), or at least setting up their ci to trigger from github.

Though maybe I'm just speaking from lack of experience, as I've only set up actions in one project so far.

That's right, people don't need health care for themselves, or their kids, or their parents, in their earning prime. Neither do they need to pay educational expenses like private school or college.

Many states have 'solved' the problem of locking up thousands of people for marijuana violations by just legalizing it. Colorado legalized marijuana in 2014, seems fine so far. Now even Arizona (where possession was a felony a week ago) is jumping on the bandwagon.

Seems to be working out. Maybe it is that easy.

We'll see what happens in Oregon. Check back in a year. It will be the continuation of an experiment Colorado started, and which has yielded overwhelmingly positive results so far.

He then moved to NYC, where he lived until his death in 1897.

Slightly off topic - can we use git-diff-able databases for faster syncing of clients with servers?

Or is there no practical difference?

We can return just the latest updated documents by maintaining a lastUpdated timestamp on client and server docs. But this would be at a document level. So, only the fields that have changed would be sent to the client.

Many people are uglier than others too. Some people get more tinder matches than others.

Do we also throw acid on the more attractive people to ensure a more equitable society for the relatively ugly men/women?

Why only the equity of money but not other things on the Maslow's hierarchy of needs? Taxation in unethical, and immoral to the people who work hard. Some people compensate for being physically ugly by having more money.

Its certainly unintuitive. Same issue with single-person bathrooms.

Reminds me of the of the old business problem - the kiosk coffee drive-up has line 6 cars long during morning rush. Then they stop coming when commute time is over. What could/should the business planner do?

Could put in another window, hire double the employees, get the line down to 2 or 3 cars during rush. But that costs a bunch (almost double the run rate).

OR, could raise prices. The line will get shorter. Revenue goes up with no investment, and you'll serve about the same number of cars each commute time (there's always a line, so it doesn't matter how long when calculating cars served during rush, its the same total). Which is a better answer.

See the demand is pretty inflexible, and only lasts say 7-9AM. Meaning your customer count is pretty much fixed. Two windows doesn't actually serve any more people, but costs about double, losing you money.
