In the US the cost of healthcare is so ridiculous that underwriting the system and bargaining as a unit for things like equipment, disposables, and pharmacy will save the entire system billions of dollars of overhead/profit/graft (depending on your viewpoint) that currently go mostly to insurance companies and private equity healthcare groups. At some point you will be right that the harm outweighs the good for a sizable group, but we aren't there today.

100 MHz 486? 32 megs of memory? It should fly!

I'm running NetBSD 9 on both a Mac LC II with 10 megabytes of memory and on an LC III+ with 36 megs of memory. The LC II has a 16 bit memory bus and runs at 15 MHz, and it's... interesting. It can actually go multiuser and run sshd, although ssh logins have to have their timeout extended to ten minutes so logins can happen before they time out.

The 33 MHz m68030 in the LC III+, with 36 megs of 32 bit memory, is fully usable. I can ssh without timeouts. I can run vi or vim. I can do things while it's running stuff in the background (making the man database, for instance, or compiling), and I can compile software natively just fine.

Why is Linux so painful with about the same amount of memory, but with a CPU that's six times the speed? Hmmm...
The phrase is defined as “a person who ultimately uses or is intended to ultimately use a product.” When YouTube was created, it was intended to show videos to users. There were no ads yet. So the intention is for the viewers to be the users.
There's are days during the year when the sun doesn't set at all around the arctic circle. No one would argue with the statemet "the sun sets at night".

More directly, there being extremely rare exceptions to a general rule doesn't make the rule false. There's a reason the phrase "the exception that proves the rule" exists.

The unspoken thing is that current Medicare is only sustainable because the hospitals are allowed to recover the costs by charging whatever they can get away with to uncovered people.

If everyone is covered, quite a lot of money will have to come from elsewhere and it's not like seriously raising taxes to source it would get very popular.

i dont want to pay for the treatment for people who made terrible decisions. people wont be healthy. they will succumb to the billion dollar advertising and garbage fastfood/snack business.
the past month the media has been shilling the vaccine instead of telling people how important diet and exercise is.
i havent been to the doctor in years. last time i went to the dentist he said i had the best gums he had ever seen. take care of your body. i only have health insurance in case something extreme happens. deepthroating fast food everyday and tryign to make me pay for your treament is bad.
When deciding to home school our children for a year or two whilst living in Colorado - we considered paying some of these registered "setup-your-own-curriculum private home school service providers". When discussing on the phone with them - not one was ever able to give me a meaningful answer to "do your service actually provides anything that I could not do myself for free in a few minutes?"

I had the following pain points, which may mean I run the wrong sort of game for you.

I run a Vampire:The Masquerade Larp that pre covid generally played monthly in San Francisco.

We are part of an international network of games so we had done some completely online sessions to facilitate visitors from other games/new players, and for safety we went completely online for the pandemic on discord, but are likely to go back to being in person eventually. I can't say we are both online and location based with the current setup, though it does look like I can switch eventually. For now I'm saying online, but I'd really love to be able to show up. If that's not a change I can create a second campaign, but that's obviously not preferable.

We use official content (Laws of the Night Revised which is part of a MET system for Vampire published in the 90s and early 2000s) but supplement with some homebrewed/custom stuff. Our network of games has been in existence since the early 90s, so the storyline has diverged somewhat. I'm unclear what the distinction between official and homebrew is in this context.

There's no ability to create tags, and that's a bit of an issue for us. I'd love the ability to define or submit new tags (maybe with approval by you to avoid spam/harassment/etc). That would be good IMHO. Things I'd like to be able to say with tags at minimum is that we are a larp, we play on discord, we are text based (we have Hard of Hearing players), and we are adult only.

There are no tags for adult content or adult only, for mature themes.

We have explicit consent rules around certain content (sexual in our game and for our network, but as a vampire game set in the World of Darkness (which is like the modern world but explicitly worse) we are still exploring adult themes, playing characters that are monstrous, and I don't want underage players.

Oh and we explicitly pass on head storyteller (we have head and assistant storytellers which is the DM title for white wolf games like vampire), and there's no way to transfer the game control to another account.
To an extent, it does. Particularly when other countries have cost control regulations, the companies are incentivized to make up those R&D costs elsewhere. Today’s drug profits are funding tomorrow’s novel medicine.

Note in not saying this is ethically fair or optimal, just that it’s a consequence of the particular system
Quote: "If the miner is owner-initiated then firstly, shame on them, and secondly, just remove it" - and it shows the picture of PirateBay.

Well, IMO, this is the best model. PB it clearly states they run a cryptominer and if you want you can have an adblocker block that and they still allow you to search undisturbed their website. Now compare this with Forbes for example, who have adblocker detection which will not allow you to view the content you want and asks to whitelist them in your adblocker. Except that once you do that they will fill your page with not only their ads but also 3rd party websites ads, which was proved many times in the past were malware. So if there is any name and shame it should be done to Forbes / Bloomberg and the likes, not PB.
Obviously it would be better to have minor needs met as well. But the point is that when you say “I now have to wait too long for minor things, therefore healthcare for all is bad”, you are implying that you would prefer that you got treatment for a minor condition than someone else got treatment for a major condition.

If the main argument against nationalized healthcare is that so many more people can get healthcare that your minor condition gets bumped down in priority... well yeah, the point is that many more people can get treatment for major problems!
> I'm claiming that Australian citizens are more likely to bring cancer to their provider when it's still at stage 1, because the citizens do not risk bankruptcy when seeking diagnosis and treatment, resulting in successful treatment of cancers prior to their reaching stage 4.

I understand your argument: you're saying that by treating stage 1–3 patients early on, the stage 4 patients will have a shorter survival. But in the US, stage 4 patients also include many patients that would have been stage 1–3 in a different country, and because these cancers may not be quite as aggressive as the other stage 4 cancers, the 5-year survival will be higher. I'm on board with this part of your argument.

The part that doesn't hold up is patients regularly coming in to their doctors with symptomatic early stage cancer. In early stages, many cancers are completely asymptomatic. Even when we screen completely asymptomatic patients for early stage cancer in the US, we don't actually see clear cut overall mortality benefits. So how is it that these Australians are presenting to their doctors so early on with cancer symptoms?

EDIT: The holy grail of cancer screening has three features:

- Identifies dangerous cancers shortly after they form

- Perfectly separates cancer from non-cancer

- Patients live longer

Medical science itself (regardless of healthcare system and country) can't reliably meet the above three goals. So I'm skeptical that patients having easy access to medical care like in Australia would result in improved cancer survival.
This is complex and will vary significantly by person. But for anyone the answer is almost certainly non-zero. Even if only marginally. And the trend seems to be increasing.

The second part of your comment, seems to assume only one kind of action is possible. Others might say, great let's do both.
Linz’s Klemens Brosch: A Genius for Drawing
In high school I created a crude but still effective online community that used a messageboard-like system to run tabletop RPG campaigns. Amassed a pretty decent sized community (for that time) too.

Threw it all away because I could no longer maintain it due to college, etc. In hindsight, I wish I had. Could have, might have, evolved into something big and marketable. This was way back before the whole tech startup craze was on most people's radar.
I think messaging this to a "normal" user is going to be really, really hard no matter what. Bordering on impossible.

E.g., with your proposed wording, now the website owner gets reported that their website has been compromised, when, in the case of compromised routers discussed in the article, it hasn't.

(I do think some of your suggestions are valid; the article isn't going to be approachable for the average Joe, and if it does pop up that frequently, perhaps that could be improved.)
This only "makes sense" if such a person believes that their personal advantage is more important than other people. It makes no sense whatsoever from a Rawlsian perspective.
snort a few videos blow Chilton's out of the water any day. Chilton's is often filled with inaccurate photos (approximating the model year you're interested in), have wonky angles that take some deciphering to figure out, my Chiltons were all B&W photos (maybe that's changed?) or line drawings, and the instructions can be pretty vague. A video is often literally looking over a mechanic's shoulder as he does the procedure and offers tips along the way. Cross reference these instructions with a few other videos, some forum posts, and you'll be in a much better spot than with Chiltons.

Source: decades of working on my vehicles with Chiltons manuals.

> is IT outsource/consulting pie so large to feed all these companies?

Oh darn well it is (I worked at one of those consulting companies long time ago). Many people don't realize how much of the software is written by those companies. I personally worked onsite and offsite for two FAANG companies, one health insurance, and one telecom company. I myself was amazed how often projects were pretty critical to their operations, while I was technically not their employee. In case of FAANG companies we signed a paper agreeing we will not publicly say we did anything for them.

I know friends who work the same way for major US banks, credit agencies, energy and retail companies. I have hard time imagining a big company that doesn't buy IT outsourcing (probably government agencies, like military, space, but I'm not sure about their suppliers).
The point in this case is to satisfy the state's requirements. The value? (Whatever the state says it is) + (increase in earnings) - (bureaucratic overhead)
>I cannot comprehend why anyone would be against health care for all?

Because that's not a policy. The debate is over which policy implementation is would be best or if the government should be involved at all. I personally like the idea of public option health insurance.
> Being rich shouldn't get you better actual health care.

Why not? If the healthcare is perfect, then there's no need to pay for better helathcare... but if it's not (eg. long wait times, outdated procedures,...), if someone pays to get a dentist tomorrow (instead of waiting 6monts for a government one), why not?

> I believe it is only correlation, not causation.

It's a bit more direct than that - previous init systems were kernel-agnostic whereas systemd is explicitly tightly coupled to Linux and udev, and encourages the rest of userland to be tightly coupled to it.

> I think it has more to do with the linux kernel being much more advanced than the others, and some of the userspace depending more and more on these advanced features.

I wouldn't say "more advanced" - in many ways FreeBSD jails are a better technical solution than Linux's various container systems.
"Healthcare for all" is a goal, not a system.

Everybody shares that goal, but there is huge disagreement about how to practically move towards it.

Also, the US political system is incapable of changing anything important since a few decades...
I’m curious why the downvotes but no comments?

I’m in no way judging the other commenter. I think that particular restriction is stupid since the information is in the public domain. However it IS still a binding legal restriction. My comment was as much about the stupidity as about any possible breach.

> Suppose there is a YouTube channel about how a minority in a certain country is discriminated against. Given what we know about discrimination, it is very unlikely for the majority to believe that it is discriminating this minority. Thus you have dissent and the possibility of hordes of angry down voters "brigading" that channel. These brigades may even be organized or supported by country in question because it doesn't like the negative views the channel is conveying.

This is not how things are in my country (US). People make and post those videos pretty frequently. They get high up-to-down ratios, just like the videos expressing skepticism. Videos that seem to be downvoted the most seem to be ones with extremely "bad takes." For example, when one of the SpaceX Starship test vehicles exploded on landing, some cable news channel described it as some sort of embarrassing failure, when the thing was very clearly an unexpected success. That got a pretty serious number of downvotes. Of the remainder of downvoted videos, the only ones that seem to be consistently brigaded by users are ones where a creator dares to express an unpopular opinion with his audience, or the ones that are just pure corporate shilling and/or propaganda. The former are extremely courageous; the latter deserve to be downvoted to hell.

The YouTube algorithm being what it is, YouTube is already showing you videos that it thinks you want to see and will engage with. Brigading is thus pretty rare on the platform.

Generating an operating profit each month.
As a counterpoint, I have far from "premium" insurance, and can see my doctor for any reason nearly always within a week, and have had multiple "outpatient" surgeries booked/executed within 3 weeks.

I'm not sure arguing minor surgeries can wait for 6 months-1 year+ is a good thing. If the system cannot handle both minor and major operations within a reasonable amount of time, then something is very wrong.

Why abolish private? I'm reading from HN about being more like EU regarding Healthcare but private here can do what they want and even get paid for treating with public money if they accept the shittier government mandated prices.

70% is for bacteria. That helps the isopropyl alcohol get absorbed into the cell.

Coronavirus is a virus and isn’t alive. The alcohol disrupts the outer lipid layer which deactivates the virus. So 70% doesn’t apply here.
This is the route that I took as well. I dropped out, realized I needed a GED to start community college, realized I needed to be 18 to get a GED, then took the CHSPE and everything worked out.
Removing downvotes seems a lot more legit than Volkwagon dumping decades of brand goodwill on a whim. Partly because a lot of us think of YouTube/Google as censorious/evil to begin with. But maybe they are trolling. 'Tis the season, and pranking people by playing on their pre-existing biases is the correct pattern.
> they do care about what will keep us on the platform

Yes they do. Watching 2 useless DIY videos and then a 3rd DIY video that finally helped you out, just kept you on the platform 3x longer than if you had filtered out the badly rated one and watched the helpful video first.

Checkmate. YouTube/Google/Alphabet Wins! 3x the ads. 3x the money. 3x the evil. Do not pass go, Google collects your $200. Time to hide the dislike counts... case closed.
This is a problem with GTFS. Firstly, that GTFS has separate enumerators for trains vs. buses, and only shows stuff that identifies itself as trains, but also because most agencies do not provide route shapes that are good enough to display. Often the routes run right down the centerlines of roads, cut through buildings at corners, etc. There would have to be a revolution in local government agency GIS quality control before it works right.
We've learnt a lot from that. A lot of effort has been put into keeping ST4 fully backwards compatible with ST3.
I was like this, while getting my PhD@MIT went to RCIA@Harvard and changed. One thing that helped was realizing that I believe in free will, which is supernatural (and why many leading atheists reject it). Since belief in free will is an act of faith, it opened my eyes and the world gained color.

In my best knowing such topsites are in most cases using colo with excellent peering. In comparing, most company file shares are local in office for best transfer speed. A other possible similarity situation is useing for XDCC bots: such bots have similar idea of usage compromised machine but are mostly lower grade computer than a topsite.

I also see this sort of commentary regarding lex and yacc, the programs used in the dragon book. I always muse that the commentators probably have no idea how much software they currently use that, unbeknownst to them, has lex/flex and/or yacc/bison dependencies.

Some people have a learning style that is not compatible with public high school. This is true for both me and my kids. All of us had problems in school and were evaluated to see if we had learning disabilities. We all tested above the 98 percentile and were in AT/GATE programs. Also, we all tested out of high school via the CHSPE.

For me, it was a choice that I have never regretted (except for not going to the prom). It put me on a career track where I was years ahead of my peers.

For my kids, not so much. They had such bad experiences in high school that they are sour on higher education. I am still working on convincing them to finish a college degree, but I feel like a hypocrite because I did not get mine until age 50. Back when I was their age, I was lucky to work in jobs were nobody cared whether or not I had a degree. Today it's impossible to get a "professional" job without a degree.
The reason it doesn't work on iPad is because iPad doesn't support the required API. Without that API there is nothing you can except special case per browser and pray. And even then, Safari doesn't change DRP based on zoom level like Firefox and Chrome do so it's currently impossible on Safari period.
Hitachi made the SuperH ISA, a RISC instruction set that was notable for being a 16 bit fixed ISA. It had extremely high code density, and was great in environments constrained by storage. They sold the technology to ARM. If you're familiar with Thumb, that's Hitachi patents at work.

The Sega 32X, Saturn, and Dreamcast used SuperH CPUs. They even made a few supercomputers with SuperH CPUs, I believe the record for most digits of pi was once held by a Hitachi supercomputer. The linux kernel still support SuperH.
2. The US federal government already spends about as much on healthcare per capita as countries where it is free at the point of use. You’re currently getting massively ripped off so insurance CEOs can buy another yacht.

3. All civilised countries have private healthcare as well as public. If you really want to pay more to avoid waiting lists and fancier wards, you can do so.
