To help non-US people understand this plan:

> but it is the minimum $0 monthly premium plan.

The monthly premium is the cost of the insurance plan. A "$0" premium isn't actually $0, it means that Amazon is paying 100% of the monthly costs of maintaining the insurance, requiring $0 contribution from the employee. Many companies (especially warehouse type operations) are less generous, and require some monthly contribution from the employee to pay the premium. The worst health insurance I ever had required me to pay 100% of the monthly premium, with $0 committed by the company. That company lost a lot of employees.

> I pay 100% of the first $1500

This is the "deductible". The covered person is responsible for 100% of costs until the deductible is met, although there are many exceptions. For example, a routine checkup might be 100% covered ($0 cost), as well as a range of preventative care procedures described by the ACA.

> then 10% of the next $15,000

After the deductible has been met, the person is responsible for coinsurance of additional costs. An extra $5000 procedure would translate to a $500 bill for the patient.

> then 0% of anything over $16,500.

This is where the "out of pocket maximum" or OOPM is reached. In this case, the most the patient could expect to pay is $1500 (deductible) + $1500 (10% of next $15K) = $3000. After that, all excess charges are handled by the insurance company until the insurance year resets.

In short: Health care will cost between $0 and $3000 depending on how many services are used for the year (excluding fully covered benefits like annual checkup, depression screening, breast cancer screening for women, vaccinations, and other services covered for free under the ACA)
You actually make a great point here, though I disagree with your exact conclusions.

The good news is that there are plenty of plant-based dog diets that meet all AAFCO nutrition standards. A quick google search will bring these up. As dogs' most common allergens are all meat and they're considered omnivores, this is a great solution for dog owners.

Cats are obligate carnivores, and require molecules that only occur naturally in meat (e.g. taurine). Technically, this does not translate to a requirement for meat itself — artificial taurine, etc. does exist. However, while the only research review says it can be done (https://www.mdpi.com/2076-2615/6/9/57/htm) I don't see enough longitudinal evidence that it can be done safely, as issues like urinary crystals are a major concern. I think the best hope for cats' diets is something like the lab-grown mouse meat kibble Wild Earth is developing, but sadly this product just doesn't exist yet.

So those interested in reducing their carbon footprint should absolutely consult their vet about switching their dog onto a plant-based diet. For cats (and ferrets/foxes/etc), I think the best we can do right now is fund overpopulation control measures (i.e. spay/neuter programs) and continue research into sustainable nonanimal food.

It goes without saying that all pets should be adopted (is anyone capable of coming up with some edge case where this is bad advice? if so please let me know) so as to not breed more animals into the world. As long as you adopt, I see no moral negative to having a plant-based dog.

And for those unable/unwilling to do so, taking up gardening instead is a great option.

> What does the final search look like

God bless you. I wish every tutorial/demo/example would start with a screenshot of the final product.

There are so many times when a product that's UI/UX heavy will be shared yet they want you to compile the app yourself to see what it might even look like. No thanks! As a side note, I wonder what kind of mental disconnect or phenomenon is going on such that one would make such a seemingly bizarre choice like that.

As for your project, I love it! I am a huge fan of pixelart and it's going in my little pixel book :)
So work hard and get a better job. The fact is that you will not if you have a safety net under you. I lived on welfare and refused to make more money until it was a LOT more money. I finally got off the safety net only when my income increased five fold. Even that was a little begrudging because I had $800 a month in food stamps and free medical care and so all those costs got flipped onto me--not to mention the $6000 tax credit I lost and instead had to pay that amount. There are many families who are pulling down far more in benefits than I was. These safety nets are fucked up, and they gotta go. A better alternative is either UBI or a negative income tax.

First sentence, second paragraph:

Yes. This is why unions have to be big to be effective. The union has to be big enough to cover anywhere the company might be able to move to. This is why the Teamsters work so well, you can't outsource US trucking to Namibia.

This is also why the UAW started dying once containerized shipping made it practical to move factories overseas.
Walking up hills is the gentle-to-the-body challenge increaser, and makes sense since even tribesmen of 50k years ago needed to walk up hills and mountains regularly.

This is what happens when union reps are in bed with the company they're supposedly holding to account. It happens because of corruption and nepotism, not because of unionization.

We can eat soy - I had a tasty tofu bowl for lunch. The land used for growing soy animal feed can be also used to grow other plants we can eat directly or after preparation. That requires less land and less resources per calorie which lets us reforest and prevent further rainforest destruction.

Yeah, right. ;-) But ultimately those who demeaned Heaviside weren't that successful given that most of his electrical nomenclature has actually stood the test of time and is still used today. It's worth quoting Wiki's list (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_Heaviside):

"Electromagnetic terms

Heaviside coined the following terms of art in electromagnetic theory:

• admittance (reciprocal of impedance) (December 1887);

• elastance (reciprocal of permittance, reciprocal of capacitance) (1886);

• conductance (real part of admittance, reciprocal of resistance) (September 1885);

• electret for the electric analogue of a permanent magnet, or, in other words, any substance that exhibits a quasi-permanent electric polarization (e.g. ferroelectric);

• impedance (July 1886);

• inductance (February 1886);

• permeability (September 1885);

• permittance (now called capacitance) and permittivity (June 1887);

• reluctance (May 1888)."

Methinks that's more than anyone else has done!

It's like the arguments that Edison didn't invent the lightbulb. Other inventors had made glowing wires before. But Edison's great insight was to pass high voltage but low current through the filament (previous inventors used low voltage and high current). Edison also used an effective vacuum machine to prevent the filament from burning.

The result was a practical light bulb, one that lasted more than moments, and did not consume vast amounts of power.
That ship has flown on some very long legs.

Actually, it doesn't sound impressive to me at all. If a fund gets 30% ROI per year then I assume that the fund is severely underfunded. After all, if they were truly that good at allocating capital then just give them 100 billion dollars and let them single handedly run the entirety of the US economy.
Your arguments are entirely theoretical while ignoring the fact that payday loan businesses are regularly shut down for fraud. Just because debt as a concept isn't flawed doesn't mean the people selling debt are moral.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Tucker_(businessman)

Likewise, just because I post one extreme example of payday loan businesses being a fraud doesn't invalidate the entire industry. As a whole though, I feel the industry is quite scummy and often scammy.
1) That's a bad justification because right now, all I know is that whatever the amount of emissions that food waste contributes, it is absolutely not 10%

They can't just ignore that because ignoring it makes things easy to measure. They don't get to do a bad job just because doing it right is hard. Even a tough estimate to give an upper & lower bound would have been fine.

My job it to analyze data & write code in support of that analysis. I don't get to ignore categorical variations or a dozen different edge cases just because a general rule is easier: "Hi boss, it would take 500 more lines of code to get you the correct answer so I skipped that to give you a wrong one instead" I would get fired.

2) I don't think their definition is perfectly clear on exactly where they draw the line between these categories, but either way there is still significant amounts of food that is "wasted" in these end-user locations that actually goes on to be useful in some ways: Many areas of the world routinely compost anything they can and feed it back into the farming ecosystem even after it gets to what this reports calls waste.

3) Sure, but that's not the topic. The fact that food waste is also bad in other ways is no reason to produce a misleading report like this that climate deniers will use as anti-science fodder because, as I said initially, I don't know what the real number is, but I absolutely know it's not what this UN report claims. Criticizing this report doesn't imply someone thinks wasting food is okay. Pointing to other reasons that waste is bad is a rhetorical diversion, nothing more.
Intuitiveness is in the eye of the beholder. I'd argue that if you're experienced with accessibility, doing things the "accessible way" becomes more intuitive.

HN in a nutshell.
> Real wages are flat

Because the labor market is largely not allowed to function as it should. UBI would help people already stuck in this conundrum have the breathing room to shop for employment. but the reality is between occupational licensure, unions and other protectionist schemes, there's only a select few occupations that benefit from market dynamics.

> housing is through the roof

Because the housing market is not allowed to function as it should, through a slew of NIMBYist policies that cover virtually the entire country. In most parts of the country it is illegal to build anything but a single-family detached house.

Housing in general is an area where markets excel, we should let them.

> We're going to finally increase taxes on corporations

Our issues are not because the government is not bringing in enough tax revenue. It would be better to have the corporate tax rate at 0% and reform/increase taxation on the other side, when people take profits from the company. This encourages investment & takes away the incentive to shelter money from taxes through a variety of schemes.

> government is going to spend freely on semiconductors and R&D like they did in the 50's and 60's

This isn't really "America First" in the same way that forcing companies to buy American made goods is. THIS is where the US should be spending big, if anywhere.

> There needs to be a clear delineation between "globalization" (we're all multicultural and can all be friends - this is true and good) and "globalization" (we compete for the bottom of the barrel pricing with people who throw the untreated water from the factory into the local river - this is bad).

Comparative advantage is a real thing we should be embracing, not turning away from.

Protectionism only leads to worse outcomes. The government has a role in easing suffering, to that end we should be consolidating our current constellation of welfare programs into something resembling UBI.

Instead, protectionism tries to force the market to keep a set of conditions so some subset of the population is unaffected by a changing economy, to the detriment of everyone else.

The Producers Guild of America (PGA) is NOT a union, it is a trade association.
Actually no, because on the release CD of Common Language Runtime, and the alphas and betas that preceded it, Microsoft collaborated with several companies and universities to have various languages available at lunch date.

Many of which did have a REPL.

good question: here's a response I made on the reddit

People might think that this might be another system that might get gamed. If someone tries hard enough, they can play the long game, and game the system. The point is user karma and user history should be enough to make it harder to game the system. Once there is enough traffic, there will strong moderation and minimum posting/commenting requirements

Also another response to bribing the influencers of the system:
Bribe could work but as long as the product is not crap, I think there is no perfect model. The influencers will still have to worry about keeping a reputation and if they put their name on a crappy product they will lose their reputation. People will start pointing this out. Karma might make them stand out and face more criticism for being in the limelight. You also make a good point. Maybe it should be shouldibuythisbrand?
Definitely a valid point - there is a huge variety in what it looks like on the ground. Your other point re: availability, cost, etc is also right on point and part of what I was trying to cover.

The variety angle is because 1) the more factors you can roll the dice on at any given moment, the more likely you can come up ‘winning’ with a magically terrible combo through mutation. That ocelot flu mutate to something that could infect bats? Groovy. No bats though, so doesn’t go anywhere. If you have bats though.....

2) Many animal viruses can be low or no impact in a species, and some can infect others to different effects. This gives a given virus more chances to roll the dice and get the ‘magic’ combo without killing itself off by killing the host. The more other species it gets exposed to; the better.

3) some species have elements more common with humans than others. If a virus gets mostly infectious in one host, adapting in another environment can get it closer to dangerous to humans.

Also, if you live in an area without solid electricity or reliable refrigerated trucks - what else are you supposed to do? If you grew up in one of those areas, why bother with the more expensive option if you’re used to this (or poor and don’t have a choice).

A lot of our simplification in diet now is due to the ability to choose higher grade options coupled with strict government regulations on how food sold to the public can be sourced and the conditions it can be ‘made’ in. It used to be (several generations ago now), wild hunted deer, pidgeons, squirrel, a side of pork from your neighbor, etc. were common parts of daily food intake, and you HAD to cook your food or you wouldn’t go a week without something really nasty happening to you. There are many parts of the county that still do this, though usually more out of convenience than necessity.

Now you can pick from animals raised for purpose, with supply chains inspected and complying with a books worth of regulations. In many cases, you could go years without getting sick if you didn’t cook your food (don’t try this, it’s still a dumb idea).

It’s easy to point fingers, but if you haven’t seen it and lived in the environment, you can’t just change it without a lot of other things happening first or very nasty side effects (starvation, nutritional issues, etc).
Unions also start boxing out new experienced employees. The railroads have no way to bring in experienced workers from other industries because everyone is mandated a certain starting wage by the union...entry level wages ($50k) plus overtime. Looks exactly like regulatory capture.

Well... all the way back to HTML 1.0, form submission buttons also "went somewhere". It was quite a while before the concept of any interaction not reloading the entire page came along. There's nothing wrong with buttons that go somewhere, and a lot of the web is designed around this.

The e-resident system is a great idea though the banking support for e-residents is limited, mainly due to the (anti money laundering) and anti fraud issues. That being said it's still great: you can still open a company, have a local presence, open a bank account and do business as an EU entity, but certain domains are not accepted by every bank (e.g. cryptocurrency), especially for e-residents who are also resident (not necessarily citizens) of the USA.

Friends who are actually resident in Estonia tell me it's pretty handy in their actual life.

A strong counterexample is Germany whose ID card also has a similar SIM and robust encryption support. There the legal implementation was seemingly designed in a way to thwart adoption, by privatising the wrong part of the system such that uptake has been nonexistent.

You can still sign something with a government-guaranteed key by plugging your card into your computer, but that will only help you communicate with other nerds. Fun to do once, but other than that useless.
Apologies for not being clear, this is to support digital ID modernization efforts, not support US e-residency for those outside of the US.
Of course, it doesn't mean people will follow rules they don't feel make sense. Where I live in Massachusetts masks are required in all public spaces whether distanced or not. But my anecdotal observation in the state forests, etc. around where I live is that most people don't when they're well-distanced from everyone. And they may pull up a neck gaiter for a few seconds if they're passing someone on a trail (especially if that other person is wearing a mask).
