I read an interview[1] with the general secretary of German trade and he lamented that in Germany for many, many years the consensus was that more and more people had to study. Thias was also because the OECD said so, not just German politicans. He says we don't need so many people who go to university, and I wholeheartedly agree. And this is coming from Germany where the education system is a lot more forgiving than in the US/UK etc. (in that you don't need to study STEM to earn good money, and studies are cheap) But I think in the coming years there will be a lot of rethinking about these things.

This not correct. Medicare does not negotiate any drug prices and is explicitly banned from doing so.

Instead medicaid pays the average price paid by private insurance, plus a flat markup % to the doctors office.

The EU is different in that the national health services negotiate with companies based on patient benefit. This is illegal in USA
> Show me someone who is aware of FDroid who doesn't have the technical know how to update apps after sideloading FDroid itself...

My mother, for one. I use F-Droid to let her auto-update NewPipe, since she uses that to download and listen to music in ways that the official application will never let her. Needless to say, NewPipe is not about to be made available on Google Play due to a conflict of interests.

Yes, it is. Which doesn't _at all_ negate anything I said.
We excluded autos because the Massachusetts auto right to repair bill (most recently updated in November) covers this, and there's a nationwide MOU. Tesla is the only manufacturer that has not signed this MOU.

These claims have both been debunked. The majority of energy used by bitcoin is renewable [1]. Ransomware was enabled by credit cards before bitcoin was a thing. The increase in ransomware is because of the increase in the value of that data not the ability to extort.

In my experience this is very cheap. I take it the parent is not retrieving from Glacier often/ever, which is where the significant costs go. It's a decent balance for disaster recovery.

I sync my photos to S3 (a mix of raw and jpeg, sidecar rawtherapee files) across a few devices so Glacier is prohibitively expensive in this regard, but I still pay <$100 a year for more stuff than I could ever store locally.
I was about to b** and then realized that my employer provided me literally everything in this article. Yeah it would suck to only have a laptop provided. Parts of the office space, ie desk room and chair should be provided by the employee. Essential things which handle business operations should be provided by the employer, ie laptop screens, mouse, etc..
I can't tell if you're just trolling or you're trying to make a point that Bitcoin actually uses no energy which, unless you do some crazy mental gymnastics, is quite a bizarre perspective to hold.

And please explain how my question is ignorant but the stance you're taking isn't?
But Dropbox, Github, Google photos etc rely on massive piles of hard drives.
Custom ROMs usually allow root access, which lets you install the auto-update feature add-on for F-Droid.

Sounds like they are considering adding back support, but personally I'm a bit surprised that isn't set in stone since these are some game changing features.

Does sound like there would be a lot of technical limitations to adding support in prior versions.

Interesting discussion of the behind the scenes here https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2021/10254/
This seems to be a more and more common “argument” these days. X is happening and it has benefits for Y but it probably has more benefits for Z who i don’t like so its bad.

Additionally ill ignore your point completely and only address Z now.
my theory is that the single dose vaccines and getting infected are about the same effectiveness as a single dose of the two dose vaccines.

If you are infected, you probably have about 85% resistance to infection. Getting an addition shot of moderna, pfizer, J&J is pretty much like getting a booster and gets you to 95%.
This is incredibly helpful, thanks!

Its telling of the quality if HN, if the top comment is a false dichotomy... I have noticed a steep decline of thoughtful comments over the last year.

And of course: why not do both, and more?

Yawn. No, you wouldn't rather die.
Most places I've worked support at least a couple OS versions back. Lately because of when the last device support cutoff was, it seems to be iOS 12. That's a long time to have to wait to use any of this, especially given the enormous benefits and how much more efficient it could make developers. Yes, we could #if available, but that would end up doubling up the work you have to do, completely nullifying most of the benefits.
Insomnia is something I've dealt with for most of my adult life. I followed everything you were supposed to do, got blackout curtains, no coffee, no alcohol, exercised, but still had issues. This article below helped me realize the insomnia is actually a form of performance anxiety. Sitting in bed tossing and turning, mind racing wishing you were asleep is the problem. You have to train yourself that you can sleep and to not fear it, gain the confidence that you can fall asleep.

Yeah I see your point, and I dont think its semantics actually. You would be right to delineate between a legal notion which could imply some kind of tort or liability versus just a generic issue which is merely cautionary.

In this case the authors probably have the latter but not the former (they're not doing anything wrong legally). "Conflict of interest" is definitely the kind of phrase which has a context-specific definition, so I think semantics is probably more important here than it might normally be.

FWIW, I re-read my above comment and I think came off more hostile than I intended. Your point about pricing insurance is a really interesting one and I think a lot of other commentators had good takes. Specifically, someone mentioned how information asymmetry benefits insurers which is worth considering too.
> the real trick with this of course is forbidding the serial number based lockouts.

Yeah, that is just downright spiteful scumbaggery.
I love how this article blatantly lies in the title when there's clearly an inheritance tax which actually has not been adjusted with inflation so it keeps hitting more and more people who aren't billionaires and the fact that it's a literally a double dip tax which is on money that has already been taxed. And the fact that it literally doesn't even matter. Inheritance tax is such a small part of the federal income. Just increase taxes on capital gains above 10 million a year and call it a day.
Yeah, and there's a whole skillset required for overcoming a lot of these downsides and the whole company has to proactively work to overcome them.

I also wonder how many companies will get bit by leadership (CEOs, engineering team managers, whoever really) not working as well in a remote environment.

There is some merits to what you are saying.

Yes, the USD is better for hyperinflation *right now* than BTC as it is more stable.

But I do think BTC has better properties that, in the long run, will prove superior to the USD and gold in environments of absurd inflation.

The majority of bitcoin is mined directly on renewable energy because of the cost savings, they don't use the grid I dunno how the government would shut that down unless they just banned renewable energy LOL. The amount of fud around crypto is silly.

I'm sure pretty much every word clashes with something and is "quite funny" at some point in time, and that's not even considering other idioms.

The only thing worse for an insurance company than deliberately inaccurate statistics is accidentally inaccurate statistics. Anyone who wanted to make a profit selling solar panel insurance would independently seek to determine the failure rate of solar panels. Even if they believed their competitors were 100% honest, it's a value that is likely to change over time and they'ed want a better level of detail (rates for different manufacturers, detailed timing, weather effects, etc) than would be publicly available. Yes, if they just assumed it was accurate they might get lucky, but insurance is the business of not relying on luck.
There is nothing wrong with earning money.

The problem is that this money usually works against all the other people who made different life choices.

For example, excess money can be invested in real-estate, and this can cause housing prices to surge, which can hurt the normal guy.

Its full on non-sequiturs and does not make any sustainable point. If you are a person who has the gut feeling to differentiate between a concept and what a concept refers to, the article becomes a complete waste of time.

Yes, scales are arbitrary, but the author acts like they are just discovering it. I tell you, all scales are arbitrary at some point, this is inherent to how scales work. And that a scale exist does not imply that we humans have to align everything to it, we never did and will never do. Just by the fact of human stubbornness.

I think the author does not know these things yet because they weren't exposed to these problems in real life yet, and didn't have to learn to accept these ugly parts of our reality so far. Privileged US-American syndrome, if you ask me.

> This is about countries, like Ireland or Netherlands, with 0% corporate tax rates.

Ireland's corporate tax rate is 12.5%. It is one of the lowest in Europe but certainly not 0%.
The UK currently has 20% corporation tax on profits, plus employers national insurance contribution, and various avenues to effectively reduce that a bit depending on how you spend what would otherwise be profit. The problem/complaint is with tech companies who use structures via Ireland, Netherlands, and occasionally other places to book billions in revenues and profits but pay a tax rate of zero on those profits.

I worked for a small consulting company (not software development). We and other small shops--at least anything bigger than solo practitioner--pretty much all had a client services/sales/business person even if, at the end of the day, the real relationship was with the individual consultants.
Twice in my education, once in middle school and once in college (my instructor did a very dramatic read of William Jennings Bryan's "Cross of Gold" speech), I encountered the Free Silver movement in history classes. I never understood it then and to this day I still don't understand what the kerfuffle was about. It seems like a religious doctrinal difference rather than one that would have any real economic effect.

Somewhat before I cared about money, in 1971, Nixon decoupled the dollar from gold, and although I do recall hearing about the accompanying wage/price freeze, I don't think it's ever mattered to me whether or not I could exchange my paper for gold.
I think it's referring to "financial centres"[1]. According to The Global Financial Centres Index[2], it's equivalent to: London + Geneva + Zurich. But, yes, it's a bit clumsy.

Bitcoin has value that they can spend on doing all of this.

Money doesn't directly convert into food. Someone still has to consume the energy to actually make things. By using energy to mine bitcoin to buy food, one is potentially doubling energy consumed.

I'm suggesting that we may be overinvesting in some parts of academia outside the realm of science and that publishing in a journal may not be the best way to measure how to tune those investments. Sokal's work in 1996 was interesting and "Sokal Squared" seems relevant to the topic. A journal's ability to filter out parody seems like a good test for evaluating the overall quality of investments in a field.

Right now there's a chicken and egg problem where cheap power is not near things that need it.

Crypto mining will allow places with cheap power sources to build up energy production. Once that's established it's easier to build up infrastructure for things like data centers.
You've completely ignored risk. Any financial action (like taking out a $450k loan) comes with risks, otherwise everybody would always do it. In the past 30 years we've had 3 major economic downfalls (.com, 08, Covid-19) - each of which could very easily cause someone to lose their job and subsequently their home/mortgage.

Your argument is how many people look at the stock market as well. It always goes up! - if you entered the stock market correctly, exited it correctly, invested correctly, had a long enough time horizon, and could stomach risk/declines.

Renting is not a long con and its absurd to claim that.
It's interesting how much of Substack has quickly become an opinion page for a bubble of "rationalist", pseudo-libertarian thinkers. It is almost a mono-culture at this point: the obligatory links to Tyler Cowen, the obligatory mention of race and biology, and footnotes just for the aesthetic.

The article you link directly contradicts your claim:

> So how do Medicaid and Medicare set drug prices?
Medicaid takes the lowest negotiated price by private payers. After which, states have the right to further negotiate price. Aetna, Express Scripts, and Oscar Insurance all negotiate with pharma companies for the best price. Perhaps Aetna and Oscar only receive 20% discounts while Express Scripts receives a 30% discount. This 30% discounted price is now the Medicaid price. Additional requirements ensure this price level adjusts to inflation. Although the federal government helps fund Medicaid, it’s managed at the state level. At the state level, Medicaid can indeed negotiate further discounts with pharmaceutical companies. However, the federal government is still prohibited.

While the fed might not be allowed to negotiate, states can and do. As can individual providers. Basically you’re making a bad faith argument and hoping I wouldn’t read your “source”

Also Medicaid and Medicare are two different programs. The reason it doesn’t get too involved in Medicaid is bec it’s a state controlled program and would appear to be outside of their purview.

EDIT::

I seem to be getting rate limited by HN due to downvotes so I’m gonna post my reply here:

That’s false.

Again, the amount paid is never the MSRP, not by Medicare and not by Medicaid. And generally not by any insurance company either.

You’re intentionally making a bad faith argument. Both Medicare and Medicaid use negotiated pricing whether they negotiated those prices or someone else did.

It is absolutely categorically false to state unequivocally or even imply that Medicare pays the MSRP.

In the context of this discussion it is totally false to claim that any medical insurance provider (public or private) will be paying $56k for this drug. Not only because insurance companies don’t pay MSRP, but also because that price was set before all this happened, under these new circumstances BioGen will absolutely be updating their MSRP as well to reflect the new reality (drug is only proven to lower an Alzheimer’s marker and not directly treat the disease itself).
