I wouldn't expect Google and Netflix to make any particular effort against net neutrality, since they stand to benefit most from regulatory capture.

(If anyone in their respective industries is in a position to benefit over their competition by making deals with ISPs, it is likely them)

This is reflected in the Netflix CFO's comments in 2015, among others: https://www.cnet.com/news/netflix-says-it-still-supports-net...
> That also brings up why do they want (and spend millions on) the removal of net neutrality if they didn't plan on violating net neutrality in the first place?

This is an undue presumption of bad faith.

There are many situations where Net neutrality legitimately harms global internet routing efficiency and user experience. For example, under net neutrality ISPs are not allowed to privilege high priority packets such as real time video streams. It’s much more nuanced than net neutrality good, isps greedy and evil. Think about it from the perspective of a network engineer working for an ISP.
> I can believe: The $500 million is too small for VCs to care, and the 200 times $10 billion is too big for them to believe.

This is actually true. The model of VCs requires that they take extremely high risk with extremely high upside. But their job is to derisk as much as possible. They derisk market risk, technical risk, and operational risk.

well 't' specifically... it doesn't sound like I'd say it. almost like the tongue's not being puffed forward hard enough.
Not at all, because the question at hand was 'how long does it take to train to be an doctor in the US'. I don't understand why one would include time spent training to be something else? It is like saying 'it took me 30 years to learn to code, 3 months on Udemy and 29 years learning to solve problems as a carpenter'.

Premed is gatekeeping, and not all countries enforce that form of gatekeeping.

> Because you don't need to create a token at all to tip creators, inflationary or otherwise.

But if you don't do it through inflationary means, then consumers have to actually send tips and or have accounts. (for better or worse)

Inflation is a nice way to build incentives into the currency's structure. Further, Hive has no transaction fees as that's funded via inflation as well.

I do like the idea of a streaming value for value service wherein I have a wallet that I top up from time to time, but there are many models that are viable here.
Actually it is, since we've seen zero evidence of it that can't be explained away by other means. So yeah it would fucking huge, pardon my french.
No, they most certainly did not. I've spent a large chunk of my career in healthcare technology, and one thing I can say for sure is that with very few exceptions, foreign doctors are no where close to the knowledge and capability of those educated in the US.

I'm not going to specify to avoid slamming particular countries, but I would definitely refuse to be treated by doctors from several major countries that crank out tons of doctors, many of whom worm their way into US practice. (This isn't based on race, etc, at all just competency, and I have a much larger exposure to this than most people. These people kill way too many patients with their incompetence, but (especially lately) they cannot be criticized for fear of being branded racist. My body, my choice.)

Great article. What most people are not taking into account with Mighty is that new ideas like this rarely stay the same...who knows what product/use case it morphs into? Maybe the browser implementation takes off, maybe it pivots to an OS rather than just Chrome...maybe becomes a backup / cross device solution. Maybe something that we haven't even thought of yet becomes possible with new technologies like 5G coming on board. We don't know.

Why did you need to create a new, unique token anyway?

How much of that market cap would you estimate is used for utility versus simply being held for speculation?

To be clear, I agree we should eliminate the deduction for employer paid health care.

For historical reference, employer-paid insurance only became prevalent in the US during/after World War II as a way to compete for labor after the government implemented wage controls. When the wage controls were lifted, people had become used to the benefit of employer-paid health care and it stuck.

My sense is the US will never move to the model you describe with young men creating a buying group for very specific policies. Society is simply not going to accept extreme differences in premiums for young, healthy people vs much older, less healthy people.

I tend not to rely on what facebook does with its software stack. Even by looking at what they release as open source, it's usually "works for me" and not tailored for general public and I think it's in their culture not to care about other use than for themselves.

It's hard to think it's a good proof that btrfs is ready for everyone just because facebook is using it.

Those are alt-right facts is just a defense mechanism for people to avoid confronting the contradictions in their own belief system. None of this is driven by reason, at least not the logic of the truth of the matters allegedly being examined. It's all about the logic of identity and social status. It is high status to believe in magical equality. It is low status to acknowledge human biodiversity. The idea of settling important questions through mass society, mass media, mass democracy is more laughable every day.
Introduction to Abject-Oriented Programming (2007)
The hypothetical of this thread is "a bright future if we ever get AI to take all the jobs." That's a much bigger change from our current condition than e.g. a renegotiation between capital and humanity with respect to customary provision of shelter. Such renegotiations already occur with regularity, but the robots have never yet done all the work. If the robots ever do this (and since we're assuming a miraculous future, without simultaneously demanding all the decision-making power) there would no longer be a reason to preserve the privileges previously associated with historical investment in residential construction.
I definitely agree, but with one exception: a fair amount of these companies have reached such a scale that they actually have to invent or at least develop new tech in order to run their business. Facebook and Twitter, for example, aren't primarily "tech" companies, but because they operate at such an insane scale, they regularly develop new tech that allows them to continue and grow. So the tech part is more or less vertical integration - not their primary business, but also definitely not negligible in terms of innovation.
Thanks this is a valid point, ill try this out!
As per a conversation I had with a realtor, they don't buy houses to rent them out, since the wear and tear of the renting lowers the eventual sale price. Since the price for houses has been going up steadily for over a decade now, it's financially advantageous for them to leave the houses empty and wait for a sale.
Great! Do you have some links?

I found this: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/alloc/trait.Allocator.html

but it doesn't look like it allows inspecting the size. I'd also like to know how it works to "move a value in" to a collection, does it actually do a memcpy into the collection's heap?

Also, is it really a separate instance of the allocator for the collection? That is, can I wipe all the memory for one hash table in O(1) without touching another hash table that uses the same allocator?

EDIT: It would also be nice if there was a way to gracefully handle OOM. Maybe if you could specify a maximum size for some heap, it could be a good way to test how your code fails on OOM (which can still happen in a lot of cases with some kernel configs).

> The author has 10 years of experience at Google and could easily find a very well paying job either at another department inside Google, or at another company.

My point is that quitting or getting a different job accomplishes nothing. With a multinational corporation like Google, they will never struggle to fill roles. If you work in these positions, you at least have influence on product growth, and you can use the massive amount of money earned to lobby against harmful behavior. If you quit, you have no internal influence and have less money to take political action with, meaning the only way you could change things is through legislation.
Its a trope at this point, but a major point missed by the author is opportunity cost. Haven't we reached a point where optimizing that many basis points of incremental sales isn't worth what new solutions we could build with all these engineers' time?
I'm a non-native English speaker, and I've been working with an accent coach to improve my pronunciation. The IPA chart has been instrumental teaching tool, and after about two years it's finally starting to sink in.

It's really helpful to understand the theory behind the pronunciation, instead of just repeating words and attempt to make the same sounds as my coach. As in "this is what your tongue should be doing, but you're doing this other thing instead."

You can even use the chart (and maybe Wikipedia) to identify specific reasons as to why you're doing something wrong. For example, there's just one way to pronounce "S" in Finnish, whereas there are four ways to do that in English. It's just something that never crossed my mind before starting to work with a professional.
Yep. Ranks right up there with Richard Hoagland.
Last year I was leaving my house to walk my dogs when my neighbors dog jumped their fence and attacked my dog. I had airpods in, so I didn't hear anything until my dog literally screamed. I was able to turn around and hold my dog steady until my neighbor hopped his fence and got his dog off.

Overall it could have been much worse; I have friends that have much worse stories. My dog had a handful of puncture wounds that healed up, and he is fine now. I am pretty sure I had PTSD or something close to it; mainly it's waking from nightmares of the scenario, and thinking of my dogs scream still makes me shudder/feel sick. I also now walk outside and check my yard before letting the dogs out and stay out there with them the entire time. My neighbor is working on getting a fence now that the spring is here, but even then I don't know if I will leave the dogs out alone. It was a minor encounter with violence, but it was enough to shake me up and change some habits.

Well of course, there's a difference in connotation of blame between "privileged" and "disadvantaged", even if they both refer to the same relative difference. It's as if the terminology of "privileged" is purposefully trying to offend.

Prosthetics might work for someone missing the lower portion of their leg(s), but I don't think it would work for someone with a congenital limb deficiency. If they have no control of their legs, bolting on some extra hardware wouldn't do much.
If you are a native English speaker, these renditions will sound too close together for you, because the person pronouncing them is not a native English speaker. IPA is a coarse guide to phonemes; it does not capture, for example, the difference between the English and Spanish t, which is so great that I am still struggling to do it correctly. But they are both “t” in IPA.

What’s the distinction, and do you have a source formalizing that?

I had always understood a ponzi as being something paid out by later investors, and where you had a plausible reason to believe in increase in value.

Here the plausible reason is “bitcoin will take over the financial system and everyone will need it” or “bitcoin will be the new store of value and everyone will want it”. In either event payout necessarily comes from later investors.

What I don't get is why this is so important. Someone spammed a web form but... this isn't a vote. This is a chance to provide information, which spam by definition does not contain.

If they wanted to make legal or technical points, it doesn't even matter who they are, the points are true (or not) no matter who said them.

So I just don't see what the big deal is here, because someone spammed meaningless comments into a comment form and it's not like they really took any of our opinions into account when making the ruling to begin with.
I disagree with the assertion "administrative cost to the consumer is profit for the company." Anyone who has looked at customer support expense from a company's perspective knows it is a burden that the company would gladly do away with.

What was not discussed in the paper was the effect the administrative complexities have on creating a moat are health care plans. The greater the complexity, the less healthcare providers will want to associate with multiple healthcare organizations/insurance companies.

Good suggestion and point here. I am currently looking into becoming a subject matter expert on a particular topic of interest, as of now, I feel like I'm not on any topic. Rather I know a little bit about various topics.
Their solution in the TFA is to focus on straight-through billing through standardization of payment mechanisms, arguing that each physician is paying $100K / year. Of course, this also puts the lie to the insurance companies, who are the other side of the transaction and essentially add another 20% in cost just to pay the bill! (Their loss ratios due to medical costs are about 80%.)

Insurance companies are basically just bill paying services, as almost all employer sponsored healthcare is self-insured by the employer as the risk pool is large enough to take care of the true "insurance" nature of the mutual pooling of risks.

So how do you think insurance companies will react to making it "easier to pay the bill through standardization?"

Chance of movement = zero.
I worked in a hospital for 13 years. The economic incentives for the current system are quite perverse.

The FDA has no cost constraints and so maximizes safety instead of QALYs.

Medical equipment and drug manufacturers maximize profit and so fill the highest margin niches first instead of maximizing QALYs.

Radiology and lab services are lucrative and separate themselves from clinical providers to maximize profits instead of QALYs.

Individual physicians and especially surgeons can maximize profits by having their own practices vs. hospital or clinic environments where coordinated care maximizes QALYs.

Hospitals and clinics and especially ERs, cancer treatment, and skilled nursing facilities try to make ends meet with inpatient population and try to hold on to outpatient surgery, radiology, and lab services to make ends meet while providing whatever level of coordinated care they can, but still optimizing for profit over QALYs.

Insurance companies maximize profits by building actuarial plans that stratify patient populations by plan cost, skewing the burden of healthcare costs to the unemployed, underemployed, and low wage earners. A patient becoming uninsured is an economic win for insurance companies and employers. QALYs are proxied by cost/patient/year for anyone managing to stay insured which ignores deductibles, co-insurance and other out of pocket pay.

Medicare and medicaid programs are left to pick up the pieces by trying to piece together effective care with compensation restricted by arbitrary budgets and arbitrary service providers (many specialists, independent physicians, and facilities flatly refuse medicare/medicaid patients).

Actual patients have no clue how any of this works and end up with a pile of bills they try to pay off or if they know the trick they negotiate with the healthcare provider to settle for something slightly above the ~2% face value of debts written off to debt collectors who will hound sick people and their families incessantly.

Maximizing QALYs is hard enough in a centralized single-payer or universal healthcare system. Almost nothing in the U.S. healthcare system is aligned with that goal.
