My wife is a primary care doctor in the United States. Saying that disqualifies me in some people's minds from having an opinion about the quality and cost of health care in this country. But I am willing to give an opinion regardless.

There are plenty of medical practices and institutions that function well and deliver good value to the patient. But there are many that do not.

As someone who doesn't have friends inside the health care industry, it can be extremely difficult to figure out what to do in an emergency. Quite often your options are limited especially if you are caring for a loved one rather than yourself.

The best advice I can give is to find good doctors before you need them, and when conversations come up about someone else's medical care, be willing to ask, who is your doctor and how good are they? Or, which hospital did you go to, and do you feel you had a good experience?

Often there is little out-of-pocket difference between the cost of excellent medical care and lower quality care, if you have good insurance.

If you don't have good insurance and you are looking at a potentially significant medical procedure, ask to speak to someone about financial assistance. Good practices and good hospital systems are not looking to bankrupt their patients.

Some doctors refer to salicylic acid as "vitamin S" because of its myriad of positive health effects.
I think the phrase "global warming" is part of the problem.

"Warming" doesn't sound scary to a lazy layman mind, especially when scientist say the worst case scenario is something like 1.5-2 degrees Celsius.

This causes a lot of people to believe that warming is same weather they would normally be getting, just add 1.5 to 2 degrees Celsius.

"Phew, I wouldn't mind a bit more sunshine!"

Unfortunately, that's not how it works and the name doesn't help to convey the scale of devastation to come.

I think this should be called something more scary like "Global weather pattern disruption"
I guess you mean registers. You can see a list of them in default Vim using the command :reg.

The article describes my actual life precisely. Yet it's kinda clickbait. I forced myself to read it carefully from top to bottom (which is hard when you have ADHD) in hope of finding advises on how to actually do that but didn't find any.
The insurance companies own the networks. So it's a way for them to pay themselves rather than pay externally.

When it is my home I can make decisions. I can decide the pool isn't worth it and tear it out, or fix it. I can notice leaks before they cause structure problems (or choose not to fix them and face the more expensive bills). With a condo those choices are not yours, and the decisions might not be yours either.

Half the American population uses private health insurance, but yes. It is better to lose services than to go to jail or have your home confiscated for not paying taxes. And some people can choose to join mutual aid societies that provide these services on a voluntary bases.

>You can argue that it's a failure of government that it is able to be captured, or a failure of capitalism (or corporatism) that it does so. I don't find either argument particularly illuminating.

I think a better way to look at it is that we live in a capitalism+democratic system and that combined system clearly has some significant structural flaws. If we don't look at our government and private sector systems holistically and fix those flaws relatively soon, we won't have to, because they will have made the world uninhabitable for most humans

I couldn't agree with more and as a libertarian leaning centrist I wish I could blast this into every voter's mind.

As long as we have a corporate capture of the government, increased intervention and micromanagement of private markets will only exacerbate the problem (via regulatory capture, too big to fail, command economy, ect). There is no workable alternative to capitalism, but there is clear alternative to corrupt government.

Every problem with the system has a simple market solution which could be implemented with a government less susceptible to corporate influence.

Military budget too large > pass lower spending bills

Healthcare too expensive > allow Medicare to set prices based on health benefit.

Climate change > require goods & corporations to include costs of carbon remediation

As long as corporations exist, they will have incentives misaligned with the general public. Aligning corporate interest with that of society is impossible, so the only solution is to firewall government
That legal loophole exists. They can leave the country and renounce their citizenship.

An interesting difference is in the case of foreclosure. I believe in the case of a co-op the co-op fees take precedence over the lending bank being made whole, while in the case of a condo the bank is made whole first. There are also subtle differences in the foreclosure process. In judicial states (where a foreclosure must be signed off by a judge) co-op foreclosures are typically non-judicial.
Your mistake is viewing "radicalization" as being driven purely by changes in communications media, as opposed to underlying socioeconomic and political developments which have been negative for the overwhelming majority of society. This isn't going to be handwaved away with Facebook dialog boxes.
Interesting take. I do think it's unfair to take away property for unpaid taxes. I think it depends on different states, but there are deferral programs available for people who are struggling.

Slavery played a huge role in antique Rome and Greece. Across the Mediterranean in fact. But that kind of slavery was very different from the cattle slavery practiced in the American colonies, especially the US. It was also much less routed in race, besides the POWs being enslaved.

A lot of people like examples more than numbers or graphs. This is an example story. It's pointless for the part of the audience that prefers numbers or graphs, meaningful for the part that prefers examples.

Of course you can say it's spin. If there are also spreader events where vaccinated people were infected as much as the unvaccinated, then this is clearly selective and spin. If it isn't, then it's just a honest example and not spin.
I think this needs to be combined with breaking things down into as small a piece of work as possible. Yes a feature may be valuable at 99% completion, but hopefully that means a whole stack of work items at 100% and a small handful of unstarted work items.
I tried switching to VSCode with the vim plugin. but I got frustrated with vim keys that didn't quite work right on VSCode. And iirc configuring custom vim-style bindings was quite a pain. And then there were the neovim/vim plugins that I used that didn't have good equivalents in VSCode, especially that worked well with the vim plugin.

Also VSCode is much, much more resource hungry.
All governments do that but those agents are persecuted when they're caught by the targeted government. If the spymaster is also caught they'll also be persecuted under the target country's laws unless they have some sort of diplomatic cover from their own government.
There’s also data to indicate that SSRI’s working mechanism is actually by stimulating neuro-regeneration meaning they can help restore some neuroplasticity. They can be worth considering.

Or more extreme treatments like ketamine research that appears to promote neuroplasticity.

Both of those require some changes in cognitive behaviors. CBT appears the best technique. The best thing about universities is that they normally offer excellent mental health services for free (or part of tuition).

To the OP: hang in there!
Fair enough. I just checked the AdGuard support forums. They agree that this feature can't work with the Content Blocker approach on macos. There's no way they can get any hooks into the browser, so interstitial ads will remain just that: interstitial.

I can see that AdGuard is probably a decent product for most other current browsers, though. Thanks for suggesting it anyway.
I'm not sure how many people know that though, and the moment you make a payment towards that bill it's legally your debt.

Context is needed: Assange was the darling of the Dems until they won the presidency and started getting hit with leaks via Wikileaks too. So yeah, political affiliation does count, on the part of the Dems. And no, this stuff doesn't happen in a vacuum.
You are correct about the debt and the parent post clearly knows that, having lived through it'l. However the further point being that any assets that had accumulated with the intention of leaving them to the family, and which they relied on, would have been in jeapordy if they hit probate. If he owned a businessnor a house I'm not sure of the rules, but definitely savings, other assets etc. would be up for grabs.
Regarding programming languages, the answer is the language server protocol (LSP), an editor-agnostic way to use IDE-like features, originally developed for VSCode. Works for both Neovim and VSCode (and many others). Somewhat ironic that one of VSCode's best inventions is the one which made me switch away from it.
But a fully vaccinated person that won't let any unvaccinated people into their house: totally fine and normal. Shun the non-believers!
OK I will admit I am not convinced, but you know what, if compelling arbitrary assumptions against the chinese come up I might make my mind, openmindedness and all.
Would be nice to see a leak of this somewhere. A smoking gun that this is happening, followed by the legal hammer would be what we need here.
While it’s true that the conquistadors had immense success in their initial encounters with the natives, the Aztecs would have adapted eventually to counter the Spanish had they not been crippled by the European diseases. This seems to have already been the case in the siege of Tenochtitlan where the Spanish suffers huge casualties despite having similar numbers (together with their allies) to the Aztecs. This was the case with many of the North American tribes and even with the diseases it took the Spanish another 150 years to subjugate all of the Mayan cities.
I thought the new date was in August?

I'll admit that I don't actually keep track because, you know, it's bullshit that's not going to happen.

> expecting the usual behaviour

Common advice is "put the expectations in the contract". For a significant sized ISP, this shouldn't have been the first dance they were invited to.

For example, when I bought an Adjustable Rate Mortgage, I made sure the contract stipulated when the rates would be adjusted, and what formula would be used to adjust them. Not "whenever the bank wanted to change them, and to whatever rate they wanted to."
Glad you like them!
Well, mostly of the language specific plugins are language server protocols (LSP), you only need a client to make they work on any editor, I used to use CoC on vim to have that power, but now with the new version of NeoVim the client is build-in, so...
Well, VSCode has a controlling position in the LSP ecosystem, so we literally have microsoft looming over it.
I used to work for a defense contractor, in the mid-1980s.

Once a week, this big-ass tandem truck would park outside the entrance, and the janitors would carry out boxes of papers, under armed guard.

The truck had a huge shredder (crosscut), and also a big kiln.

Once the paper was shredded, it was burned, and the ashes were shredded, just to be sure.

Then, the truck would take the ashes away; never to be seen again.
> Assange and WikiLeaks are guilty of participating in Russian attempts to spread disinformation in support of the Russian's agenda at a bare minimum.

What disinformation? They were hacked emails, the contents of which were authentic. Any disinformation involved would be intentional misinterpretation of the emails, which trolls on 4chan did, not Julian Assange or WikiLeaks afaik. Trolls on 4chan should never be taken seriously.

Also, is there any evidence that WikiLeaks had access to GOP hacked emails? You seem to imply it in your comment, but I have not found any sources claiming this is the case from brief Googling.

The biggest, real story exposed in those hacked emails was simply that the DNC was not a neutral party. They were helping Hillary Clinton get nominated, specifically in the case of sharing debate questions with her. Is there a reason this should not have been an important story at the time? I think it actually got a bit drowned out in comparison to all the trolling over Pizzagate. My base assumption is the people who even paid much attention to that story were the subset of Democrats who wanted Bernie to win the nomination.
As someone with schizophrenia I am disappointed to read all the negative comments, probably coming from people who don't have to bear this horrible disease. I've already decided that the only way I'll ever have kids is through some sort of genetic screening process. I know many other people with schizophrenia online who also purposely will never have kids because they don't want to pass the disorder down.

In my case it's definitely genetic. I've taken 23andme, run my data through Promethease and I have a ton of genes that put me at high risk of the disorder.

I don't give a shit about your high IQ designer baby, just at least give me the option of having a kid before all the pearl clutchers take it away.
> I think this is a good example of the analogy falling apart.

No, it is not.

It is up to you to define what is 100% of your project. If you think something is not worth it, just don't put it in the 100%. Be honest in saying "No, we are not going to do it".

Too many projects linger because there is no will of getting this or that done. Either redefine the project or just f-n do it and be done with it. This helps put definitive end to the project possibly letting you call success on it. It also frees up your mind to work on other stuff.
The main thing that struck me about this, is that they only supported their NAS for 5 years? It's a NAS, wouldn't the expectation be that people are running this for 10-15 years?
Your kinda proving parents point. To get email content outside the USA, there are no rules. NSA can do more or less what they want to obtain that data (hack,bribe,etc.)

within the US, it requires some type of judicial process. You can argue about corrupt judges, power tripping FBI agents, etc. etc. but the fact is, its harder to obtain this data inside the USA.

Further, if you are just committing regular old crimes, the FBI will need to run some type of parallel reconstruction IF they obtained your data using less than pristine methods.

What DoJ attorney would risk their career cause some dumb-ass FBI agent went rogue and pistol whipped the sys-admin for the data?!?!?!?!
Huh? DWS got forced out because she was a shit DNC chairman who couldn't keep her foot out of her mouth and then started chewing.

And, personally, I don't give a damn if the DNC was hostile to an avowed independent. Bernie was a carpetbagger. I like Bernie, but the Democrats treated him far better than I expected.

Assange wasn't relevant.
Oh I like the VS Code-integrated Merge Request reviews. It shows comments and allows you to interact with the merge request & comments just like the web interface but without having to leave VSC.

> My point, perhaps poorly delivered, was that not every person has a “biological pronoun”. How do you even define it?

My understanding is that historically the presence of the Y chromosome was considered determinative. One was male (therefore "he") if the karotype was 46,XY or 47,XXY or 48,XXXY, etc. Indeed, in discussions of the more common abnormal karotypes (e.g., Klinefelter), most of the literature I've seen uses the word "male."

> Addressing these folks by their “biological sex” (of you mean chromosomes) would be hugely insulting, besides the fact it’s not like we got our chromosomes written on our forehead.

With respect to chromosomes and forehead, that's not exactly true. There's sufficient divergence between male and female skulls that some gender expression surgeries target them.[1] I do understand what you mean, and I'm not trying to be snarky. Sexual differentiation is more than just genitalia, and we're well adapted to noticing those differences.

It seems like you're making two points:

1. Those with abnormal karotypes can have an experience similar to the normally karotyped: their self-perception and their anatomy might not line up, and they may prefer to be called by a pronoun that doesn't correspond with karotype or anatomy.

2. The experience of those with abnormal karotypes can and should be generalized to those with normal karotypes.

(I'm a bit fuzzy on (2) but I think I'm representing you correctly on (1). By all means correct me if I'm wrong.)

I could pretty easily see someone relatively conservative on the issue of pronouns (for, e.g., medical or religious reasons) agreeing that those with abnormal karotypes should be allowed pronoun preference but disagreeing with the second because chromosomal abnormalities are the exception that proves the rule.

I'm not sure how it helps resolve the initial question because it requires generalizing from a small set to a substantially larger one. It also offers a more clear reason why one's subjective experience doesn't quite line up with one's body (i.e., a clear abnormality on the chromosomes).

> mold on our old fridge only showed up again once it got warm enough and wet enough

yea, mold tends to do that. not exactly a surprise.
Not even close to resolved. That's one of the scary pernicious parts right now: "Martin Luther King saved us from our own racism and got the Civil Rights Act passed, so we never have to worry about it again".

Just today, the Supreme Court struck down yet more of the Voting Rights Act, making it that much harder for minorities to vote. Not only is there still progress to be made, but there are people intent on taking progress away. They cause discrimination all through American culture, every day, even in ones less prominent than Supreme Court decisions.

Douglass would be quite clear that we didn't live up to those promises a century later, or today a half-century after that.
Cyberpunk is not a positive place to be. It's not a standard of living we should be aiming for.
I would think you would need legislation to implement this rather than a regulation. The inurance-hospital-doctor lobby is rich and strong. When Colorado was considering a public insurance option, this lobby ran non-stop Fear TV commercials saying this new insurance would kill babies and seniors. (Despite seniors are on Medicare)
In case anyone is wondering, there is no way to boost IQ. Whatsoever. You can obviously remove things harming cognitive ability, but that's the extent of it.
This discusses the concept a bit. This UK case was a bit different because it wasn't just a few seconds of a song, it was continued over the course of years, and customers of the business could hear it, etc. Regardless, it is bizarre to me that anyone here thinks it would be reasonable to pursue this. From the article (which says exactly what I'm saying):

"The repair firm, Kwik-Fit, has a pretty weak response, saying that it's banned personal radios for ten years. Instead, it should be fighting back on the idea that this is a public performance in any way. Otherwise, you get into all sorts of trouble. If you have the windows open in your home and are listening to your legally owned music (or your TV!) and your neighbor can hear it, is that a public performance? What if you live in an apartment building with thin walls? What about when you're driving with the radio on and the windows open? What if you're in your cubicle and the folks in the cubicles around you can hear the music? At which point do we realize how silly this becomes? It's difficult to see how, with a straight face, anyone in the music industry can claim that any of these situations represents harm done to them."
