My experience with the NHS has been overall quite good, despite having an exceptionally severe presentation of Crohns and an aggressive leukemia. I’ve never been in a case where I have had to wait an exorbitant amount of time for either acute or routine care. This is across multiple cities and countries in the NHS.

I likewise had some of the best American specialists in GI and oncology. I also ended up with six figures in medical debt despite having incredible insurance and a great job. I also experienced excruciating wait times at emergency rooms that dwarfed anything I’ve encountered at the A&E in the UK.

The NHS obviously has massive scope for improvement and isn’t even the healthcare system I have felt the most secure in (that was the Swiss) but I am confident that the NHS is almost certainly better for the average Brit than the US medical system is for the average American.
> how does desegregation help poorer performing school

1. There are studies showing that socioeconomic and racial diversity in schools (which often go hand and hand in urban contexts) have huge measurable positive impacts on people from less advantaged backgrounds, and no impact on people from more advantaged backgrounds.

2. Affluent families often have more time to devote towards advocating for improvements in their school. Incompetent administrations get shielded when there aren't parent watchdogs.

3. Hate to say it, but high-quality teacher retention is very difficult in schools that are close to entirely black &/or poor.

It is much easier to create two high-quality socioeconomically diverse schools than it is to create two high-quality schools one which has mostly rich white students and one which has mostly poor black students.

I definitely do not have all the solutions though. I'm not really sure if desegregation in many coastal cities is even possible right now while private schools remain. White private school attendance is very related to school system diversity.
A project I was involved with (Reagent) changed it's name from Cloact because it made people think of cloaca. Companies very commonly change brand and product names when selling in different countries due to connotations arising from the name in the native tongue. Similarly books and movies will rename characters for the same purpose.

I guess the question is, why shouldn't the Coq project think about this kind of thing?
EGLStreams may be popular in some areas, but all other graphics drivers support GBM.
Between less/no copays and specific services my employer covers directly my plan is significantly better for me and my circumstances. My previous employer had virtually identical coverage with higher oop and monthly payment. Just a perk of being in a strong union I guess.

E: I'd love to see the official coverage breakdown offers with prices if anyone has them please share, email in profile if you don't want to share publicly.
Because I actually want to make an impact at my job and constantly carrying idiots on my back is a horrible experience.

Thankfully my workplace is not unionized and I have great team members. Whether union or non-union workplaces can encourage that, I don't know, but that is an example of why an employee would care.
Agreed even with stolen bikes the math works out. I have 2 types of bikes -- a beater that I'm ok getting stolen once a year or so for the convenience of feeling ok locking it anywhere, and others that I would never leave unattended in the city but use for exercise, commute, or offroad recreation.
It would amaze me if there wasn't; grifts and scams are part of human nature - ponzi schemes are an obvious one wherever you have investment.
I think it is important to note that you are describing some unions, not all unions. Being locked into one caricature of what a union should look like is a huge driver of anti-union sentiment. People learn to think that this is the only version of a union that does or can exist, because anti-union messaging pounds these points over and over.

By every metric, unions provide massive, tangible benefits to most members. The question should be, how can we retain or enhance those benefits while also minimizing the well-known downsides?

from the article, at least wikifeet specifically has a rule of IMDB-available only, and has at least one person following through on it.

Regardless, if someone refuses to hire you because your feet appear on a foot fetish site... it would be a very odd refusal. Perhaps if your feet were involved in some immoral activity, but on its own it's pretty meaningless.

"I'm sorry, but I found images of your bare-naked foot in the sand, online -- I don't think we'll be able to move forward with this. You might encourage others to expose their feet, or make people uncomfortable once they've seen your big toe."

The essential unwritten corollary to this article is the intensely underappreciated importance of understanding exactly how technology works.

Knowledge is power, and far too many people have zero interest in how things actually work. I'm allergic to such ignorance, if I can find out how something works, generally it is pleasing for me to do so. I suspect this trait is shared universally by those here on HN.
Imagine example.com as your public facing brand and where your product is presented and sold. You probably have some kind of sales flow, maybe a product portal, etc. They all live wonderfully either as subdomains (e.g. signup.example.com) or sub-resources (e.g. example.com/signup).

Behind the scenes you probably have some cloud hosted resources for the website, product portal, some kind of admin portal, and some physical infrastructure associated with all this. You probably also have internal tools: Jenkins, Sentry, GitLab, misc home brew apps, etc. You'll save yourself all sorts of trouble putting this behind a "service" domain (e.g. example.net).

- Customer facing URLs always have prime choice of URLs that will never conflict with usage elsewhere

- SSL certificates can be managed independently with much greater ease

- Delegating DNS responsibility (essential for automation) becomes much easier

- You'll almost certainly be moving components around (e.g. your site, how your host your backend, extra goodies like a blog). This makes it easier to keep example.com URLs simple and intuitive. Your "service" domain is likely to be much more literal in its organization of resource records, as it's likely to have lots of mappings to specific, real things.

There isn't a security benefit, but every time I've seen this rule violated it causes pain at some point.
The scope of what you're considering to be their "ideological guns" is very historically recent. Before the Southern Strategy [0], the things that people typically associate with these "hicks" in rural parts of the US were not politicized; most of these hot-button ideological issues were considered to not be the domain of politics (e.g. abortion).

In fact, the people who were the first "rednecks" would most likely reject all of the fascist bootlicking that goes on for most conservatives (not that neoliberal bootlicking is better, just less prevalent; I don't see hordes of foaming-at-the-mouth Biden supporters screaming adoration about Biden with some goofy flags and apparel on the street corners, while I still see the Trump folks doing the same cult worship of their new "god"). The original rednecks were miners who violently opposed capitalist exploitation [1]. This culminated in the battle of Blair Mountain [2], in which miners living in exploitative conditions violently rebelled against the authoritarian private police (the "Pinkertons") in their attempt to form a union. This is also the first time that aerial bombardment is used on American soil (preceding Pearl Harbor).

Needless to say, I think the original "rednecks" have nothing in common with those who pretend to espouse some sort of "rural identity"; the original rednecks would not have looked to the state to force their own restrictive ideas of living on other people.

It's fine for people to have their own opinions about these things, but when these people who stick to their ideological guns do so in the face of facts (e.g. all of the cult-of-trump people who intellectually contort themselves to see him as some skilled businessman when he has a history littered with business failures, including losing money on a casino!), it's a little difficult to respect their opinions; this is especially true when their opinions are incoherent (e.g. the GOP celebrating Goya and that my pillow guy for "getting involved in politics" when it benefits them, while deriding companies looking to boycott states that plan to impose Draconian voter suppressing laws to "stay out of politics") and involve restricting the liberties of other people to comport with their own strict world view (e.g. restricting the right of other people to get same-sex married, as though that is somehow an "attack" on hetero marriage).

Ultimately it's about being able to accept new evidence and change one's mind, which I think these people who vote against their own interest (hicks or not) are not wont to do. Just as not all people in the GOP are fascists, but all fascists vote for GOP candidates, not all people towards the liberal end of the political spectrum are open to new ideas and changing their mind, but all people who are open to learning and change are on the liberal side of the political spectrum.

When is the last time busting a union brought any additional scrutiny from the US government, in a material sense?

While there are some stories lately about how much tax Amazon pays, the government is very much in the business of keeping Amazon (and all major US-based corporations and firms) happy... by contrast, the US government almost certainly cares very little for a warehouse worker in Alabama.

There are a lot of confounding factors here. New York state has higher median income, lower violent crime, etc than South Carolina. It is more than possible that the unionization of NYS education is a result of its better education system rather than its cause.

Why does this amaze you ? More than half of Startups are Ponzi schemes played over a longer time horizon and more artfully. They start with a product or service that barely generate profit in the real world, polish it up with Pitch Decks, sell the idea to investors who then sell the idea to other investors and on and on the scheme goes until they IPO it if it goes that far. The banks get ahead of it and eventually the retail investor and 401k are usually left holding the bag.

I don't think Hypercard saw many significant updates in its lifetime after version 2 came out in 1989. It barely supported color, was never PPC native, etc. Maybe its codebase wasn't fit to be updated (it was a very early Mac app written mostly by one genius coder, after all), or maybe it was just internal politics that made it languish, but by the time Jobs came back it was already an old, weird, out-of-place product. As much as I love it, it was my first exposure to programming, I'm not really surprised it was cut, and I strongly disagree with the friendly article that it was some conspiracy against computer users' freedom.
Could I restate your view as: Competition keeps orgs and people honest.

The economics book Design Rules: The Power of Modularity suggests orgs use something like NPV to assemble as a basket of competing efforts to tackle problems. The strategy of prematurely picking winners, come hell or high water, always struck me as sub-optimal.

All of the ones that last. If you don't handle your bad apples and your business requires generating a profit to survive, you will not prosper for long if you don't prune the bad apples (and you may not even survive, unless the business throws off such huge profits that it can afford to carry the dead weight).

It's as simple as "Please clean out your desk". Have you never seen The Apprentice? Do you believe that people never get fired?
The monthly premium is around $20-80/mo for healthcare plans that are seriously amazing compared to other plans I’ve seen in America, ie $300 deductible and $2000 out of pocket (with $500 of it covered by Amazon).
Good project, looking forward to this!
I think it's part of the picture, but like you I wasn't educated enough in the colonial period of British history to have any great certainty.

When we were very young it was the tudors and earlier, then there was a little social history where we covered things like the building of canals and the invention of the spinning jenny, the industrial revolution, enclosure etc, then Cold War history IIRC. Big blank spot where colonial history might have been. You'd think it might be relevant...
I’ve heard similar things from others (though less so in Southern Europe). However, I don’t think you get there from here by just expanding existing US unions. It would take a bigger culture shift.
> For a $12,000 UBI that would yield a flat tax rate of ~22%.

Yes. And that is absolutely monstrously huge. You just doubled the US tax rate!

Sure, you could cut spending elsewhere, or whatever, but once you do a program that is on the scale of literally doubling the US tax rate, you are definitely at a point where the costs of the program are very high, and likely unviable.
If your reaction to Rust actually following the prototype of chmod but not accepting conversions signed/unsigned silently is to redefine chmod so you can do it like you’d do in C… that seems a little bullheaded to me. Wrapping a C function is dangerous in a literal and real sense, doing “-1 as u32” is not at all.
Are you working with a specific org or initiative? I'm also an American interested in this (and an e-resident who formerly worked for the Estonian government).
> The employer is incentivized to hold these back in any case, absent some countervailing pressure

The countervailing pressure is that non-unionized employees are more likely to leave.

Most unions in the US place a high value on seniority. The more seniority you have, the more benefits you get from a union. Good for people who have been there for 10 years, bad for new employees looking to get jobs. This makes unionized employees less incentivized to leave and more incentivized to stay and strike. Leaving (even if for higher pay) would sacrifice that union seniority that many members value.

It's a very different negotiating dynamic.
I am asking for it but what the hell.

I was a union member back in the last 1980s through 1990s early. I was in a low skilled job where we paid our dues and got exactly nothing for it. Oh we had a wonderful contract that specified it all. It was great for basically keeping anyone new boxed in. Each quarter if we were lucky we got a visit by our local union rep in her Mercedes which cost more than many of us made a year. So I am so not a big union supporter and lean against them.

On another personal note, they spent decades harassing my uncles, now cousins industrial roofing business calling OSHA and other inspectors out to where even the OSHA representatives joked about it. It became a coffee break for them. All this over a company with less than thirty people at max.

So while they may have some application on higher paid jobs when you are low wage there isn't much they do for you other than suck two hours of wages or more from you each month.

People here glorify unions have no experience with them at the level that would have been seen in Amazon. They have these grandiose ideas how everyone benefits. Oh don't get me wrong, you are likely to get some changes that are beneficial, but in the end you are still exactly where you are before but now its all in nice pretty print writing which spells out exactly how you aren't going anywhere fast. Oh, don't forget the monthly payout (could be weekly in some places) and don't expect much if you ever actually reach strike stage.
Is there a list of devices impacted by this?
How much of that difference was due to capital preferring to invest in the right to work environment while deliberately neglecting the unionized jurisdiction? It is hard to use purely observational evidence to determine causation. You need sophisticated statistical techniques, and many observations, to conduct meaningful observational studies.
I make extensive use of aliases and bash functions. It's my only way to keep sane since I'm not smart enough to remember all these command line arguments....
This is why it becomes important for us to have good faith conversations. I don't think it is impossible to have said conversations, but more difficult. We have to act in good faith and determine who is using this language as a dog whistle vs who is using it normally. We've seen how assuming everything is a dog whistle has backfired on us, so I'm not sure erroring in that direction is correct. But at the same time I don't think we should necessarily act as if there is no possibility someone is using language in that way (muddied waters). I think we just proceed with caution and do our best.

In a lot of cases, I am not sure what the "pressure" actually is. Why do CEOs or other corporate employees care at all about the noise made by activists on Twitter or small numbers of employee activists? Why not just ignore them and move on? I feel like there would be no real impact and that they're unnecessarily caving into demands from progressive activists regularly. In doing so, these corporations are alienating center-left, center, and right customers as well as tilting the scales of our politics. This is especially true for highly influential companies that control information like Twitter, Facebook, and Google.
That's a very general statement which is false in some countries (e.g. in Poland unless you are a child or elderly and are unemployed, you are going to pay out of your own pocket)

Madoff’s scheme wasn’t based entirely of the greed of his clients (though that was certainly a major factor): a lot of it was the Myth of Financial Genius that surrounded Madoff and an excessively credulous financial media which didn’t investigate a hedge fund that in retrospect was clearly cooking the books. The pension funds who lost money weren’t trying to juice their pensions, they thought their money was safe with someone of Madoff’s pedigree.

Understandable ignorance explains many victims of financial crimes. In this case and in Madoff’s it seems to be basically okay people who had no idea they were dealing with a scheming sociopath. No need to judge their character.
I was not aware of tldr. Thanks!

However I think the tldrs need to be sorted better. When tldr git, the first example was

Check the Git version: git --version

Shouldn't the tldrs show me how to add, commit, push? Who knows.

I think the tldr lists should be interactive and allow you to select by pressing 1-9.

And maybe it should re-sort based on what you use most often, hehe.
