> The average healthcare cost in the US is $7k/year/person for the working age population.... In a universal healthcare system the government can use progressive taxes to subsidize this cost for the less well off.

Except we don't have a fully-private system. We have Medicaid, which covers the working-age poor, and also people with disabilities which is a very high-cost group. Then we have Medicare taking the high-cost elderly population. And then we have ACA potentially subsidizing much of the rest.

> So if you make $24k/year that comes out to 30% of your income.

In Maryland, a low-deductible Kaiser ACA Gold plan for a 36-year old making $24,000 per year costs $3,864/year. But the government pays $2,533 of that, leaving you to pay $1,380 + out of pocket costs.

Out of pocket expenditures in the U.S. add up to about $1,100/year on average: https://www.healthsystemtracker.org/indicator/access-afforda.... But note that other countries have out-of-pocket costs too. Even in France, where point-of-use costs are very low, it's still $463/year.

Your typical person making $24,000 per year is going to be young, and not rack up $1,380 in out of pocket costs each year. But adding that in, you're looking at 10.3%.
i think i will try both of these. THanks!
Agree. Not always easy to be rewarded within a company. However, others will notice you do good work (assuming you can make it visible) and they’ll be a great resource when seeking next positions.
What happens to any text messages or iMessages that you receive while your SIM card is in your other phone? Do they still end up showing in your conversation history on your main device?

Interesting. I found Planetfall moderately difficult, but the Lurking Horror was easy (I almost finished it first time I played it---I think it took me two sessions). A friend of mine played HHG2TG (I never did) and almost gave up on it.

> "Brave New World predicted this. We are removed from community and it is scary so we find one on the internet and we go all in."

That isn't how I remember Brave New World; it was about amusing ourselves to death with trivia instead of dealing with "important" things, but the sense of community in it was pretty strong - people grew up with and lived with the same local group of people, worked together, played Centrifugal Bumble-Puppy together, orgied together, and took soma to keep them all content. The main complaint they all had was why Bernard couldn't just be happy and join in the community.

Brave New World celebrated the twist-reveal where Bernard learns that exile to Iceland isn't a gulag but is really joining a distant group of people who don't like the society and want to live their own way like he does. I'm never sure if that should be taken at face value, or if it was a lie and the place was really a prison camp, but let's assume it was an honest and accurate reveal - that would be the opposite of your complaint, Bernard was lost and scared at having no community, was pushed toward a remote one he might fit in, and the book is all about how great that is that he doesn't have to waste his life doing just what the people around him are doing and that he can feel closer aligned with a group across the world than someone right next to him, and should take advantage of that.

> "An escape from forever war all around us"

The forever war was 1984, and that's not about Winston joining the Marines to find meaning in his life, it's about using the two minutes' hate to reinforce tribe membership by uniting everyone against a hate figure/group, and the strong (IngSoc) beating down the weak (objectors) until everyone is stamped into the same shape (boot on human face / industrial machine moulding stamp), the reveal at the end of 1984 isn't that Winston joined the Marines and escaped the forever war like Bernard escaped the trivia, it's that Winston came to love Big Brother and agree with everything good that Big Brother is and was and always would be, it's the equivalent of Bernard taking the soma and blending into the society and agreeing it was right all along, it's one or other of your Maga hat and Antifa supporter becoming overwhelmingly dominant, the state enforcing it, and the other being subsumed by it and liking it until there isn't anything else.

> "internet/phone addiction is not a problem its a solution. I guess war is inescapable."

Hence the Yin-Yang forever circling each other. There's no solution to whether white or black is better, or whether matter or energy is better, or whether hot is better than cold, both books posit an end - one that is either agreeable or disagreeable to the reader, but an end nonetheless - real life doesn't have ends it has circles, loops, repeats, back and forths, changing fortunes, ups and downs, births and deaths.

Maga hat and Antifa supporter both love their America, and their America doesn't include murdering thy neighbor. They might "want to kill each other" but each would like the other one realising how dumb they are and changing sides.
You're just questioning your own biases. Your own bias has nothing to do with whether or not someone is a pedophile.

Wherever you bias lies, if someone obtained pictures of Hillary conducting pedophilic actions your bias will be irrelevant against the content of those pictures.
Fantastically well demonstrated point, and good footnote. While I personally do make an effort to know the limits of my skill, I have absolutely witnessed many who don’t.
Very odd.

How is making more tanks, guns, and aeroplanes done on desperation and not industrial might?

I think ideology has gotten in the way of reason!
Wow, just wow. Someone contributed to OKR getting a wife. I am blown away. I will never quantize some parts of my life. Work is work. Learning is learning. There are a lot of methodologies for GTD, but in my experience balancing order with improvised chaos is healthy practice :)

PS. Joke aside there is a proven correlation between high achievement and habit of tracking and measuring a goal. I am not sure about OKR but may be the choice of which methodology to use is personal or psychology driven.

The latter two are perhaps good for employees but are definitely a problem for startup founders who need everyone to give 110% of the company is to survive at all.

As for chlorinated chicken, the EU likes to come up with bogus safety issues to protect French farmers, this is no news. It also has banned GM food, although the health problems Americans have aren't related to chlorinated chicken nor GM foods. The air one has been tackled by others already.

Oh, and also, security. After the Sony hack several years ago, many film studios have severe restrictions on what they'll allow off-site. For upcoming unreleased movies, many studios are overly protective of their IP and want to mitigate the chance of a leak as much as possible. Often times complying with those restrictions and auditing the entire process is enough to make on-site rendering more attractive.
Thanks for the suggestions, I will try all of these and see if anything sticks (which is mostly what I am aiming for)

I have no idea why FV2 did not stick, so kind of tinkering atm.
Read it, listen to it, share it, discuss it. This is one of the most important pieces of journalism in American history.
Damen shipyards is on record for stating that they regularly tweak warship designs to "look sleeker and meaner" because it both makes the admirals happy and also reaffirms the beliefs of the public of how warships are "supposed" to look. I'd be very surprised if military aircraft designers did not do something similar.

In any case it's also good military thinking. Sun Tzu already said that the pinnacle of warfare is to gain victory without fighting, and one of the ways to do so is to look so menacing that your opponent does not want to engage. Sleek, powerful looking military hardware has that effect much more than bloated and clunky stuff.

I have yet to use a JIRA or Confluence system that isn't almost insufferably slow while also suffering from a terrible UX. They seem to be the IBM of project management and documentation in the software world, though.

Also for users not acting in the capacity of a representative for their employers who purchase or install JIRA/Confluence it is perfectly fine to discuss performance issues such as the above. The law isn't as dumb as some seem to think.
YF-23 is 30 years old and still looks futuristic.
I used to use Ruby for small (100-500 loc) scripts to parse various CSV/JSON documents. You craft a couple perfect stanzas of immaculate code to do what you need and you feel great. Then you run it and turns out you forgot an `end` somewhere. Fuck. You run it again, and the name of the hash map variable is unknown, because you changed it at the last moment to make it more descriptive. Fuck. There, fixed everything. Run it again. Running for a couple seconds now with no errors -- pop the champagne! Wait, what's that? Row #998 of 1000 had an unexpected type of value? Fuck. Fix it, ship it. Wheel, snipe, and celly.

At some point I just started writing these things in Rust instead. Describe what I want deserialized as a struct. List the fields I want as enum variants. What's that, rustc, the "name" field is optional? Ok, that makes sense, I'll handle this right away. Done. Hey, rustc, how come people talk about fighting you all the time when you're actually the world's greatest pair programmer?
Phones aren't addictive on their own, and I can prove it in one step: just disable any ability to connect to the internet for a whole week and tell me your phone usage during that time.

If nobody had phones the interest in them would fade for anyone being given a phone, because let's be honest here: how much content are you dealing with that hasn't involved using internet to access somebody ELSE's stuff? News is other people doing things, learning is other people teaching us, chatting is with other people, etc.

I can perhaps see a sci-fi take on internet usage being given out through world-government prescriptions, rationed access to the "escape world". Which reminds me of the setting for Ready Player One and its slums, just without the fanservice and with a much more realistic and grim vibe.
i have three different/language dev setup, in one of them, i hit a known bug with ulimit. but the two rest worked well.

> Embarrassingly the F-16 beat it in combat, for example.

What kind of combat?

If an F-35 actually makes it to a merge somethings gone wrong, and reports vary wildly https://www.businessinsider.com/f-35-vs-f-16-15-18-lost-beat...

Ultimately a lot of F-35 hysteria seems to derive from it being the first US aircraft developed entirely post-internet where news travels quickly - i.e. If your projects early tests and teething problems were being reported on publicly by everyone you'd probably look fairly bad too.

That's not to say the F-35 is flawless in any way, but these conversations usually end up in a reductive cycle of arguments we can't know the answer too without security clearance.
They were incredibly efficient at big industry

But never could make consumer goods. When the economy had to pivot to a consumer lead one, they found that all the economists with different ideas had been shot....
I suppose a long-term solution is just to have more charge ports. Or to have charge stations with longer cords so they can service more parking spots.

I mean, charge stations are basically just 110 or 220 volt AC electrical outlets with a fancy plug. There isn't any fundamental reason they have to be an expensive, scarce resource. The more difficult scarce resource is the underlying electrical infrastructure. But if a commercial site only has so much power available, it seems better to just have a cap on the number of chargers that can be active at once to stay within the amperage limits of the site rather than to artificially constrain the number of charge stations. Then if someone is using a "charging spot" but isn't actually charging, it's not a problem; they aren't blocking anyone else from charging.

That's a long-term solution, though. For now we just don't have enough charging stations in most places to be able to not care if someone is using one when they shouldn't be.
the scary part is that git reports an error and that's why people are noticing. what else is going on with files that are not source controlled?
Excellent product. I've been testing it out and find very useful - especially dual-hdmi support.
Did you choose the cheaper networking tier ($.06/Gb) vs the GCP standard (maybe called premium now) ($0.10/Gb)

I have never seen this charge, but I have never used the cheaper networking, which uses non-gcp networks to lower costs, at the expense of other tradeoffs. This sounds like carrier peering at first read, and that the external network operator may have passed some charges back through GCP to you?

If you didn't change any network defaults and you had two vms in same region, different zones being rather chatty, that could do it as well. Using external IPs always incurs a charge.

Are we going to lower the standard just because AI is hard? I hope not.
Typical condescending HN response. We are using Rust, we've used it to build and ship a successful native desktop app.
Is that new registrations, or total vehicles registered?
I think to an extent the public will decide ugly planes look badass if the planes are presented that way in media. The F-117 was a really bizarre plane, but became so iconic gamers today still buy computer mice that look like it.

This said, I think there are limits. I don't think the F-35 will ever achieve the same level of coolness that the F-22 has; the F-22 look very sleek while the F-35 looks like it ate too many hamburgers.
We didn't have these issues back in the early 2000s. Cause of price and the average person didn't use a computer as often as they do now. That's because there was barely anything to soon them then.
I was going to correct you and say maybe you meant the Typhoon, not Tempest, but indeed there is a proposed UK aircraft program called Tempest:

Marcuse wasn't a Jew, actually. But yeah, I don't really find the analysis convincing. I mean... amusement parks have towers, and queues, and walls round the outside, like concentration camps? And they're... organized and administered? Somehow this isn't quite getting past the laugh test. (Isaiah Berlin was absolutely outraged by the Marcuse quote, incidentally.)

Update: Marcuse was a Jew, actually. My bad. I'd misremembered this from Martin Jay's book.
Worth noting that the top three cars are all new in 2020 (in the Zoe's case a major improvement on the existing model, in the other two cases brand new). I suspect a big part of it is that electric cars that people actually want have finally arrived.
Damascus is less than 40 miles from the Israeli border, so it's entirely possible that they detected the F-35s just fine; you can hit quite a few targets in Syria without ever actually violating Syrian airspace.

Flying from Japan to China might be a little different.
> The problem, I believe, is that the ridicule just isn't enough.

The comment you responded to did not suggest ridicule as a tactic. More than that, I can almost guarantee the commenter would abhor ridiculing as a strategy. The problem isn't that ridicule isn't enough. Ridiculing is part of the problem.
After constantly getting caught in bugs between WSL and Docker, i'm now running Ubuntu Server headless with a Windows VM (with GPU passthrough) on top.

The biggest issue across all these things is filesystems. There is simply no good way to share a filesystem between Windows and Linux that is both 1. fast 2. fully correct - i.e doesn't break some code.

SMB/NFS just never work super well because they are slow, or programs think they are local filesystems so things break (e.g VScode won't detect new files created on the linux side of a SMB mount without a manual refresh). Plenty of details on getting permissions right too. Not to mention extended attributes which differ slightly and break stuff. Network file systems in general are just too different to local FS's for programs to work seamlessly.

The 2 non-ideal solutions I've found are 1. keep all files in linux + edit over network using VSCode Remote or IntelliJ Remote support or 2. keep a copy of the dev workspace in windows, and use something like unison (or manual git) to sync.
I appreciate the principles, thank you for sharing them.

I started my career in automotive manufacturing before becoming a business analyst on a team developing in-house business automation tools. The program I studied did cover an engineering design process. We were taught to quantify design requirements (subject to a static load of this much, must be within these dimensions, and so on) and use a combination of calculations, simulations, and prototypes to check we are meeting those design specifications.

I am assuming that you would have done something similar in aerospace. If so, have you carried over any of that into software development? Do you have any guidance or D design documents you can point to? The D specification is the final product, but I’m trying to gain a better understanding of how one gets to that final specification.

Thanks for your time!
It's not even that they're asserting that there's no causation in that quote, they're rather asserting that the causation is backwards, which is also undemonstrated.
> In any case it's also good military thinking.

Or more likely enemies see it as posturing and strike full force, thinking they can pierce the superficial veil of technological supremacy.

Come on, security theater is bullshit. How many people actually think the TSA does anything useful? If anything it lulls people into a false sense of safety, making us weaker.

If our enemies are so easily deterred that our appearance matters more than our capability, then they are not enemies worth taking seriously.

Peace at last.
The F-35 also has a better (lower) radar cross section than the X-32 which had exposed turbine blades. And crucially, the prototype X-32 failed to demonstrate simultaneous VTOL and supersonic flight, while the X-35 did. Seeing as this was the main characteristic the military wanted, this is a pretty significant shortcoming.

It's true that more conservative designs have historically prevailed over technically more impressive exotic designs. I think this is not about looking cooler (the YF-23 looked cooler than the F-22 IMO), and more about risk aversion when billions of dollars and people's lives are on the line. And there are still exceptions to this like the B-2. Although it drew on experience from the XB-35.
My immediate thought was that ‘they even have one?’

You're right - the Bill Gates injecting nano-particles into COVID vaccine has its basis in several pre-existing conspiracy theories, such as anti-vaxx, fears of RFID/"Mark of the Beast" tagging, Satanic/ritualistic activities by elites (see: Bohemian Grove, Skull and Bones, etc.) which themselves are derived from (albeit not always directly indicative of) anti-Semitic conspiracies.

Even with QAnon, the pieces were already there among the right-wing and extremist Christianity, they were just assembled into a single, somewhat coherent narrative.
My argument was more in line with what the modders are doing. If Nintendo wants to DCMA takedown every website distributing their games that were cracked I am perfectly fine with that.

The issue I have is that they target people who figure out how to run and copy cracked game from their device, and not those who are actively distributing them. While it makes perfect sense from their side, the images from the tweet feed do not present a compelling argument that the modders are breaking the law and as such they are intimidating law-abiding citizen which is horrifying.
You can initiate a connection with the mail server, and then query it. I read about it years ago, never done it myself though.

> For close air support the A-10 is vastly superior.

Vastly superior for providing CAS in uncontested airspace against enemies that struggle to acquire MANPADS, let alone a modern air defense network or their own air force, perhaps.

But the argument is that the US military should be designed for fighting the biggest plausible enemy, and that's Russia or China, not goat herders in Afghanistan. A major inefficiency in counterinsurgent air support is expensive and survivable, using A-10s against a major threat isn't.

1. Technology isn't there yet - the recent AI vs. F-16 thing was a publicity stunt: The performance of the AI was impressive, but it was both cheating and competing in an environment where the pilot wasn't really comfortable (IIRC Simulators are almost never used to practice combat tactics, so they might as well've got a competitive DCS player in)

2. A pilot isn't just a sack of meat that uses monkey-instincts to steer the plane forward, they are a cog in a very large machine both making decisions and following and interpreting orders as the situation changes around them.

Drone jets have existed for decades, they're called cruise missiles.
