I think that's what make a model such a nice experience. It's different than building yourself: you end-up with something that looks definitely better than an amateur build. You didn't work on imagination, but end-up with an amazing build.

Because of the inherently good nature of humanity, the basis of Libertarian assumptions.

P.S. Do note that the platform of the Libertarian Party of Colorado explicitly denies that the government has a monopoly on violent force, does not allow the government to initiate violence, and in fact, doesn't describe any way of paying for what force the government may legitimately apply. Enforcing any of your rights requires you to be a part of a more powerful gang than theirs.
There is a fantastic book called 'Work Clean: The Life-Changing Power of Mise-en-Place to Organize Your Life, Work and Mind' by Dan Charnas that goes into more depth about Mise-en-Place.

My only experience is really with places like Costa Rica / some Caribbean locations. My impression was they spent a lot less on health care - and end of life care was much more modest. That said, overall health didn't seem too bad.

One thing I liked a lot - for basic health care - you could really just walk in and get near immediate service for a modest fee (doctors did not live in oceanside mansions). Prescriptions were laughably easy to get as well - antibiotics etc that in the US meant going to doctor, getting scrip, calling it into pharmacy, going to pharmacy etc - all that appears just much less regulated in some of these places. Basic imaging services / dental services also inexpensive.

They just didn't have the super advanced stuff you see in the US. So I just don't think you could spent $10M during last 12 months of life there, they don't have infrastructure / equipment to do that even if you wanted. So folks probably die earlier as a result?
Where can I rank them for protecting people from Japanese mind control?

Something like "Seargent Smith seems quite competent: he told me that I had Japanese cloned consciousnesses in my head and that it was terminal - 4/5 stars".

Or "Detective Samantha of NJU lacked imagination and just thought I was screwed in the head, self-incriminating and wanted attention when I clearly wanted someone to 'clean house' again in my head - 2/5 stars"

Or "Officer Breen seemed to despise me, as he took notes on his Panasonic Toughbook without an ounce of thought - 3/5 stars".

Or "Did an obese redditor just upset the Japanese empire again?"
Why do you use Latinx if the people who actually should go under that umbrella? Let me guess you're a white coastal elite, right?
> For all the frequency I hear that "privacy is dead" or that "there is no expectation of privacy in public," we're constantly reading evidence to the contrary.

No we aren't. What we actually see is policing agencies continually finding new ways to abuse privacy, doing those things for half of a decade or more at great public expense, and then moving on to other new ways to abuse privacy, rinse and repeat. What we actually see is policing agencies all over the country instituting intensely invasive policies without concern, and then each individual case has to be struck down one-by-one slowly over long periods of time because first the programs need to become public, then they need to work their way through the courts, then they need to go through appeals and more appeals and more appeals. And in the meantime similar programs in other cities are legally unchallenged because none of this establishes very broad rules for what surveillance behavior is allowed.

This program has been publicly in place since at least 2016 and it took until now for the reactive legal process to stop it in one city.

As long as the process for ensuring privacy continues to be reactive and slow moving at the fringes rather than proactive at the root, we will not have meaningful privacy.
I think op is saying there's a difference between, for example, the Chief of Police (a public person), and an undercover police detective. I think it's unreasonable to require all government employees, from DMV janitors to CalTrans technicians, to police detectives, to have a public profile. Is there any current law that stipulates otherwise (applies to all gov employees)?

I hear you and I mostly share your view tbh. As we speak, Republican lawmakers are pushing for legislations that aim to exclude voters from democratic expression ; Flint residents still don't have drinkable water. All of this exist, racism exist, poor people are suffering and even dying from it, minorities in larger proportions.

Still, is the X of Latinx the solution ? Or is it smoke and mirrors in the Big Tech goal of being perceived as noble ?

> I believe with shortening them to eg. 1 year or two. You still have enough time to break into the market, to establish your position

I don't think that's enough time to do either of those things, even in the most wildly optimistic circumstances. Honestly a patent term probably should be at least 10 years for an actual invention, but they need to tighten up rules about what an invention actually is.

Usually, I think you’d be right, but this is a great opportunity to use this crisis and the Surfside tragedy to enact robust measures along these lines. Regulations are written in blood as they say. A firefighter had to recover the body of his 7 year old daughter out of the rubble pile. Hard to take the other side of the argument while this is occurring, and I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy.
Dairy products reminds me of Djokovic who after stopping to eat dairy and gluten products became an exceptional player, without injuries. Or my own experience, for different reasons, switching to locally foraged or produced fruits and feeling better overall, more energized, sleeping better

This is a start.

It should be possible to eventually get a unified clean data format and up-to-date prices with some kind of mandated networking protocol or URL or API or something. Pick or defin some kind of medical coding standard.

Then there will need to be enforcement and real penalties for those not complying.

If they can somehow get to that point, it will make a big difference.

And I believe that enforcing data standards and interoperability should be one of the primary functions of governments or other similar organizations.

Also, interested to see how this stuff intersects with the new surprise medical costs rules.
Man, my hope that we could avoid a reactionary flame war was really misplaced :(
Sure, I know that, but the average consumer doesn't. When an average consumer buys a thermostat for ten times what she paid for her last one she expects it to last twenty years like her last one did. When a ten year old buys a videogame he expects it to be playable until he throws it away or sells it. "People shouldn't be so naive" is not the correct response to the precipitous decline in the quality of consumer goods.

There is no "reprocessing", in Bitcoin the longest chain always wins. Assuming the cut-off country has fewer transactions than the rest of the world and assuming the people still continue to trade among themselves without any connection to the main net (which would be idiotic), every single transaction is invalid because it never was included in the longest chain. The only thing that happens when the country allows Bitcoin connections again is that everyone who accepted BTC as payment to a local wallet during a time when they had no internet connection find out they made a big mistake.

Look at it this way: Would you trade Bitcoin with someone on a private intranet? They tell you "give me $1000 and I'll transfer you the coins on my intranet, not on the public net". Of course you wouldn't, right?

No, it is literally only copyright law. If it wasn't for the ambient threat of copyright litigation that I could bring to anyone else who attempted to sell my book, the day I put it on Amazon, someone else would take it, put their own copy up, and undercut the price.

People like to complain loudly about IP law, and I agree there are definitely problems. But I think we massively take for granted all of the many cases where it does work well.

Those are good questions to iron out. I think as a first approximation you could let the IP owner set their value, and assess taxes based on that. However, that would mean the owner couldn't sue for another larger amount if their rights are violated.

Say you make a movie and claim that it's worth $10,000,000 for tax purposes. Well, you don't get to sue for $100,000,000 if someone pirates it, because you've already declared that it's not worth that much.

I'm not persuaded by the "small companies have no IP" argument. Apple owns an enormous campus. My company doesn't. Is it fair that Apple gets to lay claim to a larger part of available real estate just because they can afford it? Well, yeah. I believe so, anyway.

>Maybe IBM could have used some of the $110 billion dollars they spent on buying back shares to, I don't know, build a real business?

You just answered your own question. As I pointed out, leadership was "picked" by Wall Street investors. Share buybacks and financial engineering exist to keep the investors happy.

If they didn't buy back shares and invested in R&D the stock would have gone straight down instead of sideways. As I said the leadership "couldn't get the capital to fund internal engineering efforts for the _scale_ of the transformation needed to sustain IBM's success"
Understand the importance of having good visibility of your system. Implement good logging and collect metrics, for example the four golden signals of throughput, latency, saturation and error rate. The Google SRE book gives a good introduction to some of these concepts. See for example https://sre.google/sre-book/monitoring-distributed-systems/.

Understand how to load test your system and to reason about its behaviour under load and its failure modes when you push it too hard. It's one thing to be able to build a system and functionally test it such that you're confident that it behaves correctly when you send one request at a time. It's another thing to let thousands or millions of real users hit it for real in production and to have confidence that you are giving them all a good experience.

I had a similar experience back in February when they shipped an RTX 3090 using a carrier called LSO. you ever heard of LSO? me neither. anyway. after spending a week with LSO for them to figure out my package was lost, Best Buy told me they'd ship me another. fast forward through another month of lies from best buy. every single one of them sounded scared of losing their job if they escalated. several hung up on me. one best buy "supervisor" told me that I could trust him because he sent his troops to die in Iraq...like...wtf?!
to close up, it took 7 weeks from LSO saying they lost the package to getting my refund from best buy. fuck best buy.

You are applying common sense in an area where the technical legality and limits of the law are very detailed and getting those details wrong will cost you a whole bunch of cash. I think the prior comment was strongly agreeing on the point that this would be a pretty silly lawsuit - but, much like SLAPP suits, baseless lawsuits that are bound to fail can still inflict a whole lot of pain on the receiver - and the Fraternal Order of Police (gosh they really need to update that name) has a gigantic war chest that can inflict a whole lot of pain.
>But, for some reason, one side of the issue would rather not reduce abortion while still permitting women's choice because that would take away the 'wedge' issue as a partisan political hammer. So they insist on ever more draconian, misogynistic laws to force the wedge deeper and deeper. That's not because it's an unreconcilable issue. Its because they want the issue.

Except terminations in the US are at their lowest levels[0] since they became legal in 1973.

One side says:

Abortion should be safe, legal and rare.

Another side says:

Abortion is *literal* murder and women who have
them, as well as the doctors who perform them
should be imprisoned and/or executed.

There is (as I mentioned in another comment on this topic) a significant amount of nuance for most Americans. With a sizable majority supporting safe, legal abortions, but with significant disagreement as to the timing and mechanism(s) of such terminations.

Personally, I believe that women (and men, for that matter) should have control over their bodies. Full stop.

As for the termination of a pregnancy, that should be up to the individual who is pregnant -- likely (but not necessarily) with input from the other potential parent and/or medical professionals.

To put a really fine point on it: If you don't have a functional uterus, shut the fuck up -- it's none of your business.

The rape allegations managed to flip a lot of people. Turned out to be shaky and manipulated but the reputation damage was done.
So I think this argument can be broken up into two parts: (1) that all of these different myths and legends across cultures (Cyclops, bugbear, ogre, oni, etc.) have a common root, and (2) that Neanderthals are the source of this common root. This article, and most of the criticism, are focused on the second part of that argument, largely because that's where most of the concrete evidence and facts can be considered. But there's a lot to criticize about the first part of that argument as well. There's so many differences between all of these different stories that I can't really imagine there is a common origin point going back tens of thousands of years. I mean the only common thread here is a large humanoid creature that eats people, and even that vague description leaves out more than a few of the mythological creatures referenced in the article. Is it so hard to believe that people could come up with such an idea on their own, independently and without a real-life example to work with?
This seems like an unnecessary service that is largely built off the unhinged fervor of dedicated activists. Cops are not bad people, by and large. They have been unfairly demonized this last year and in some past years, based off lone anecdotal examples. Remember, the police in America literally have hundreds of millions of interactions with citizens each year. There are very very few incidents of bad or unjust policing as a percentage of those interactions. In fact, I would argue the system is closer to being perfect than it is to being broken.

So what's the actual utility of this service? Those who have good experiences with cops will ignore it and not use it, while a small number of vocal and dedicated persons with an axe to grind may use it. At best, it will provide a biased perspective and open up avenues of abuse.

> because as a web developer I'd be dissuaded from investing much time on this due to an expectation of high legal costs to defend against libel claims.

Until one of the crusades to legislatively narrow or repeal Section 230 succeeds, that should be pretty complete protection against even a scintilla of a cognizable libel claim against the developer for user-submitted content.

States attempting criminalization of posting police related info are a bigger threat (while mostly blatantly federally unconstitutional, there's a significant risk of you being arrested, tried, convicted, and serving a sentence before you get that argument even taken up by a federal court.)

Agreed. They are making in network and out of network the same from the the cost sharing perspective. To avoid screwing over out of network providers, they allow out of network balance billing, but only with consent.

The actual rule also goes into things like consent to be balance billed for your knee surgery, is not consent to be balance billed for the ICU care when that surgery goes wrong and you nearly bleed out, and suffer major organ damage, etc...

This consent option is not always available, an in those circumstances, balance billing is simply prohibited, and in network and out of network are fully equivlent in those cases from a patients' perspective.
