I'm from the United States and I've lived in Canada for the most part of the last 8 years.

I'm from a middle-class family, but for reasons that aren't totally clear to me, my family didn't really have health insurance even though my father was employed. We were well-off enough that I was able to come to Canada for school, where I went to UBC.

These are the things I've experienced:

- You are required, as an international student, to sign up for the provincial healthcare program, MSP. I believe I paid $75 a month for health insurance.

- I was able to see a doctor very early on (mood disorder) and treatment was very satisfactory. I liked my doctor, I liked how the system works. Is it perfect? Of course not.

- I had an episode which put me in the hospital for over a month (would have been the start of 2016). At the time, I had not notified MSP of the change in my address, so I had stopped receiving bills and paying for them. When I was hospitalized, they told me that I owed about 3 years of MSP payments (around $3k). In essence, I paid 3k for a hospital stay that lasted close to 40 days.

- After being discharged from the hospital, I was assigned to a mental health team. It wasn't near where I lived, so I was able to transfer to a closer one. The team consisted of a psychiatrist and, in essence, a social worker who monitored my mental health and encouraged me to do things like group activities to make friends who were also dealing with mental health issues.

- As part of my hospitalization, I tried art therapy, which I continued to engage in after being discharged. Therapy was a bit expensive (think around $150 for an hour and a half, which was a bit much for someone who was just getting started working), but it was effective and helpful.

- I left the mental health team and began seeing a psychiatrist through UBC's student health services. I still see them even though I've graduated. I pay nothing for these appointments.

- I work full time and have private health insurance through my job. This insurance covers my current CBT costs for the most part, as well as providing an HSA plan which I use to pay for medication that isn't covered by MSP.

I've also done things like participated in a university study on perfectionism (12 weeks, group therapy situation).

I think the biggest takeaway from my experience is that, as a result of my mental health disabilities, I would not move back to the United States. I don't feel comfortable with the idea that healthcare would be tied to my employment. If I lost my job and was unable to adequately care for myself as a result, it would likely be close to impossible to find a new job!

To me, it feels like Canadian healthcare is not necessarily a perfect system, but it is a system which works well for most people. People aren't afraid of being sick, they're not afraid of medical bills causing bankruptcy, and they are more able to freely live their lives because the government is actually in a position to take care of its citizens.
Would you stake your company or project on GCP if Google decided it was going to reduce funding of the platform?

They show time and time again that they're willing to pull the rug out from under people that depend on their platforms.
The latest top of the line AMD gaming CPUs seem to beat out the last top of the line Intel gaming CPUs on almost all games. You can also get more cores for the same price on AMD, and they bench much higher on e.g. 3D rendering, so AMD should be faster for dev work, too.

Gamers Nexus is a pretty good YouTube channel with detailed benchmarks, but there are others, too.
My bad, I must have remembered this line from Contact because The Arrival is set in Owens Valley
This is awesome news. Exactly the type of thing they're great at, for exactly the right technology, just as it's reaching EOL. I was worried the IA folks where too in love with with the early PC era to care about the end of the PC era, but apparently that worry was unfounded.
Why do you say that docker-in-docker buys him nothing? It's not obvious at all and you go into no detail whatsoever to back up your opinion.

In my experience, that is not true at all. Docker-in-docker allows me to deliver smaller images that can fit into a CI flow as language plugins instead of shipping a beastly 5G docker image with every possible language runtime I need to support for my CI tool.
I'd be interested in understanding why recruiting as an industry hasn't switched over to an hourly model. It's basically semi-skilled (at best) professional services- why don't companies just pay external recruiters per hour to find candidates, the same way you pay your accountant, attorney, etc.? (Though at a much lower rate, of course- $50 to an absolute max of $100 an hour).

It would likely be cheaper for the hiring companies, and ultimately aid both the company's brand (no push recruiters on commission) and improve the industry overall (same). I understand that's not a VC-backed model type of business, but does seem like a logical transition for the recruiting industry overall
Maybe not 100% yet, but it moves incredibly fast to this goal.
I think a lot of people thought MySpace was here to stay, and would have said it would never be replaced. Same with AOL Instant Messenger. I'm not saying Facebook is definitely going to collapse or anything, but I don't think the network effect is so strong that it's now unassailable.
I've found your issues with podman to be a theme for Red Hat projects in general. Have you ever tried to configure Keycloak or OpenShift, for example?
You are saying this when USA have biggest private hospitals in the world.

You may also be surprised what country contends with you for this place: Republic of India.

Some people say Gulf also has extensive private healthcare, but those forget that, I think, every Gulf country bankroll healthcare for their natives, and they do have near fully state funded hospitals. And yes, tons of Arabs in medical professions.

Most of "superelite" healthcare you see Gulf is just an extension of the medical market of the Subcontinent, and cater to nouveau riches to whom domestic market is not "elite enough" for their tastes.
For a painless start with moving from Mac/Apple to Linux I would suggest Ubuntu Mate on ZFS install with Cupertino layout.

Example here:

I would suggest ElementaryOS but they still haven't find a way to provide icons on the desktop.

For all of I've heard of the worst examples of Canadian health care, they're always in BC. What is going on over there?

In Ontario and out east I've never experienced anything remotely frustrating.
For sure limited by all sorts of factors: density, providers, backups, UPSes, diesel availability, generators, fire codes, etc.

Plus every watt costs money so the movement to performance per watt is huge for DCs!
There are entire industries built on the back of illegal labor, and I think many otherwise informed Americans are not aware of this.

Indeed. The game though, is a big reason for hiring people illegally is to keep costs down. Because illegal workers area afraid to complain and will work for less.

Now, when the average moron finds that there are lots of illegals in industry X, or in the country as a whole, they get up in arms about the illegals, support a crackdown but the crackdown doesn't remove the illegals but makes them more afraid, reinforcing the whole system. So the typical ideology of this country makes accomplices of people to the racket when sun light is (selectively) shed on the situation.

It's funny that China runs their on the same legal/illegal division of labor but in China the "illegals" are internal to China, people from the countryside who don't have official permission to be in the city.
An X% increase in all-cause mortality is far more significant than an X% increase of one specific medical risk. You are comparing apples to oranges.
I’ll gladly let you fine folks sort out this mess, and I’ll check back in next year. Thanks!

Seriously though, what’s the plan for Docker? Will all containers need to be built for ARM or will Rosetta 2 be able to run Docker in an x86 VM?

Homebrew is my other benchmark.
But that still requires an SD card to bootstrap the process...
sweet. i'm looking forward to reading this. So sick of apple.

I'm seriously asking myself these days if this is how Google dies, and we're just seeing the early signs of it.
I love the idea of Podman being daemonless and (potentially) rootless. Regardless of the presence of security flaws in dockerd, the Podman architecture just feels cleaner.

And the CLI compatibility is great. Until it isn't. At work we switched to Podman for a small deployment because Docker didn't yet work with cgroupsv2 and many hours were spent debugging Podman-specific issues. In the end switching to cgroupsv1 would have been significantly less work.

Therefore claiming you can `alias docker=podman` is a bit disingenuous. You can, but only if you don't do anything Podman can't handle and what it can and cannot handle isn't immediately obvious.

All that said, I wish the project the best and hope it reaches the maturity where this alias actually does work.
Homogeneous island nation! Like 97% of people in Japan are Japanese.

> Privatizing seems to make for too much economic specialization

That alone isn't sufficient. Germany is built on private insurance (on top of something similar to Canada's government insurance) and it works just flawlessly. Usually they pay everything, you don't need to do anything. You skip all lines at the doctor, can directly go to specialists without asking anyone, etc. And on top of that private insurance in Germany is considerably cheaper than government insurance, while providing like 10 times the benefits.

If I had to name one thing I really miss from Germany, it's private health insurance. This was just like being in heaven.
And you still have a double digit risk of being screwed even with a reputable insurer. Legalese, and fine script in medical services is a minefield no worse than American financial laws.
Brave is Chromium, and over ten million people use it every month.

Also, Firefox isn't natively supported outside of beta.
Sorry yeah -- not saying nobody's using MLflow. We see teams and organizations using MLflow. What we don't see though is individual researchers/engineers/data scientists pick it up and use it.

From the people we have talked to who use MLflow, we hear it gets the job done, but individual contributors don't love it.

We really believe that widespread adoption comes from making something individuals love and use every day. That's the reason Docker was so successful, for example.

The lack of flexibility really resonates. That's the reason we're trying to be small and not too opinionated. We're something we can drop into your in-house system as a component, kinda like lots of deployment systems are built around Docker.
If lockdown decisions should be based on hospital capacity then surely you agree that Iowa should be locked down, right?
Not at all, because secular humanist ethics can be derived without any reference to theistic concepts. That one can not get there by pure reason alone is a non-sequitur, as that applies equally to theologically-motivated ethics.

Furthermore, let's suppose a theologian - for the sake of example, let's say a christian one - insists that I am really a christian, on account of my ethical positions. Well, OK, but if that so, then it follows that being a christian does not involve believing in the Trinity, or that Christ is the son of God, or that God created the universe... in fact, that it does not involve anything beyond holding certain ethical positions, and that christianity is identical with secular humanism!

Of course, it is rare to find an avowed christian who follows this line of thinking to its logical conclusion. Motte-and-bailey argumentation [1] is rampant in theological thinking.

Usually it's only involved on higher-level promotions (like, only 5% of less of engineers have ever had a promotion going through the committee), but it's fairly common to have a corporate promotion committee at companies larger than a few thousand employees.
Completely agree.

One thing I want to point out though for anybody not familiar with the differences between podman and docker, for the most part alias docker=podman will "just work" except for these situations:

1. docker-compose. podman-compose attempts to cover this but I've heard it's not quite there yet

2. Mounting the docker socket into the container. Podman is daemonless which means that won't work. There is work going on right now to allow Podman to be driven in a similar way if needed, but I recently tried to set it up and hit a bug[1]. CRI-O brings a daemon, and it is used extensively in Kubernetes and OpenShift, but not so much outside of that.

> I actually like the idea of Docker as a better systemd (or rather, the interface is better). No bespoke file format, programmable API, no need to google for the right journalctl switches, and then of course the advantages of containers and images over processes and system packages. I’m not suggesting everything should be a container nor that docker is the ideal implementation, but it certainly points in the right direction.

Docker was created to give an extra life for legacy applications depending on outdated packages, the concept of gluing all dependencies withing a compressed rootfs and shipping that, with low effort.

Docker became popular because of that, but seems that did more harm than good for the ecosystem in terms of security, that why podman might have a great future. The docker interface is bad and comparing that with systemd is quite a stretch. ;)

Anyhow, aren't systemd units ini files? The journalctl ships with man pages though.

Aren't containers just processes with namespaces and cgroups?
> It might not be, but then I'm curious why it's noteworthy enough to have two layers of comments about it.

You noted it, I was trying to explain something which seems to me exceedingly obvious.

> Apple has priorities, and these have results.

The reason these tools were built/ run first is due to the priorities and constraints of outside individuals, not Apple's. If you build a graphics editor or a text editor using Apple's toolchain and most of your clients run Apple, porting is likely high priority and not super hard.

A lot of these things you are complaining about are just really hard problems.

Docker requires a hypervisor which wasn't part of the A12Z processor they shipped in the DTK. It also depends on Go.

Go isn't available because porting languages to a new processor is non-trivial.

Rust has the above issues, plus didn't Mozilla lay off a huge chunk of the Rust team?
Google arguably had first mover advantage in the video space which was the promised land even before Covid blessed it.

And yet by the time it hit this year, Zoom took the prize. I think this represents a much bigger fail on Google's part than I have seen being mentioned.
She says she measured it at 394 ohms. The closest standard value is 390ohms.

I wonder where else that's used on the board, and if this is a pick and place machine error.
Yeah and also great doesn’t mean much out of context. Paying for the best possible health insurance doesn’t help much if it takes 10 years of premiums and partially paid annual deductibles to treat or even diagnose a health issue.
No. Diseases are nothing new in the world, my friend. Individual rights did not die just because a novel coronavirus about 20-30% deadlier than the flu showed up. Sorry, these debates were settled when far worse diseases were around than Covid-19, including smallpox, polio, measles, yellow fever, Rocky Mountain fever, Spanish flu, tuberculosis, HIV, and more. You don't get to dictate what others do with their bodies. Your risk factor is on YOU. If you want the vaccine, which is supposedly only 90% effective (notably less than the 99.9% effectiveness of young immune systems), then you can get the vaccine. End of story.
If it was likely to remain stable indefinitely - 400 USD a month. Even though I currently make over $10k. Working for a living is very close to not living at all.
Enjoy your amazing but unsupported piece of software.

There was a little thing called Espresso 2, years ago. It was amazing.

The beautiful X-Ray view for CSS? Incompatible with SCSS.

It didn’t take long to reach the conclusion that my job changed enough that I could no longer use what made Espresso 2 great.
NPR has a fetish, like many liberal media, that if only americans better understood healthcare, we would all live in an egalitarian utopia.

I am absolutely happier having american healthcare than canadian. Admittedly, that's because I am of the 80 percent of people who get decent health coverage via my employer. A significant minority of Canadians agree with me, so it's not like this is some radical position.

There is a famous story in canada where you could get CT scans for your pet the same day, but non-urgent scans for humans had like an 8 month waiting list.

My great grandfather had to wait 6 months for cataract replacement. He considered going to North Dakota to have it done, as it was preventing him from working. So now canada has inadvertently fallen to the same trap as everywhere else: if you're wealthy enough you can just go to the us for care. Everyone else has to wait.

I've tried to say these sorts of views on reddit, but just get called a troll or a liar. I'm not trying to argue that public healthcare isnt better in some ways, or even that americans shouldn't consider it. It's just that these sorts of outlets tend to have a rosey view and give this impression that dissent arrises only from ignorance, and I must be some evil, Mr Burns-esque robber baron.
It's amazing how fast applications are being transitioned to apple silicon. If this was any other company introducing a new architecture, I am sure adoption wouldn't have been this fast.
That’s very true but the VAX (family) in a sense was also the end of a niche, the mini/supermini as timesharing system.

In fact, it's almost guaranteed to not be the place where you contracted it.

I suspect that the issue is that people are going "Oh, I need a Covid test. If it's positive, I'm going to have to semi-quarantine. Let's stop at the grocery store before getting the test."
This reminds me of Intel schwag we got in the late 90's (working at the "we build white box PCs" shop) that featured chip dies. They're pretty to look at, what w/ their diffraction-induced iridescence. I've got a tie tack and a keychain that both have cores potted in epoxy. Presumably they were manufacturing seconds. With the proliferation of die shots on the 'net now I ought to dig them out and try to figure out what they are.
Health care in the US is bimodal -- if you have good insurance and are wealthy, you'll get the best care in the world.

If you aren't rich, you'll get care on par with developing nations. And our life expectancy reflects that. If you break down life expectancy by wealth, wealthy people in the Us live longer than wealthy people in most other places, but poor people fare far worse.

I hope we can find a system that maintains our exceptional outcomes while expanding who that applies to. I think the systems in France and Japan are pretty good. France has a public/private hybrid system and Japan has public insurance but also employer based insurance.
I'm hearing similar feedback from others on all three items - if you shoot me your email to m@pmalerts.com I'll upgrade + verify you manually while I troubleshoot. Thanks for confirming these, and sorry for the headache!
I think it's partly because they do not collect and euthanize them at volume like they do in many Western countries. And probably also less neutering, at least before.

Both are true.

Because each character is equivalent to an entire syllable in English, not a letter.
My experience is that they engage with ethics more than any other groups that I'm familiar with, except professional philosophers (including PhD students of philosophy).

The 80K podcast interviews professional philosophers all the time, for example:

https://80000hours.org/podcast/episodes/hilary-greaves-compa...
https://80000hours.org/podcast/episodes/will-macaskill-paral...
https://80000hours.org/podcast/episodes/david-chalmers-natur...
https://80000hours.org/podcast/episodes/peter-singer-advocac...

Or, perhaps you mean that they engage with philosophy and philosophers, but they don't spread their engagement around in the field the right way?

"able to go to a private clinic, paid $50"

Now try this in a private practice in the US and see if it costs only $50.
Not sure if you count it as a corner case, but podman lacks a docker-compose equivalent - last I checked, a few months ago, there was only a community port project that still needed a lot of work.
Thanks very much! And yes it is - I'm using PMAlerts to learn how to listen, and Karma is teaching me how to think and write (though it's a bit less mature)
Isn't the same strategy of looking for anecdotes of people with bad experiences used to deceive people about the US health care system?

I don't live in the US, so I have no way of knowing what is the real experience.
It seems your are comparing geekbench numbers of different geekbench tests. Geekbench 4 would give much higher numbers.
As I understand it, the M1 has the highest single core result of all processors, and considering it only has 4 high performance cores, it has astonishing good multicore scores.
If anything, I think this is a great reason why Apple, Google, Amazon and Facebook should be broken up.

There's an argument from an anti-monopoly / competition point of view. But perhaps organisational as well?

Perhaps smaller companies which favour local (product focused) concerns would actually benefit all of us?
The US system rations care as well. It just rations on the basis of who can afford care. It seems much more logical and humane to ration care based on how essential the service required is.
I think it entirely depends. Twitter and Facebook have deplatformed some people already (e.g. Milo Yiannopoulos) and I think given the history of their conduct, that's fair.

In the case of a whole party/movement, I would say it's a really fine line to walk. I wouldn't advocate for Facebook to ban parties like the AfD in Germany or FN in France, while they're often extremist, there is still some legitimate opposition within the bounds of the constitutions left in those parties. But I wouldn't be opposed to FB banning e.g. the KKK or some party that explicitly made reference to Mein Kampf or to killing all the Jews or similar.

Also beware of the slippery slope fallacy. Just because one believes that deplatforming some parties or movements is legitimate, it doesn't mean nor necessarily lead to deplatforming all opposition.
