Zero, plus or minus. That's why the manufacturers basically give it away to people who can't afford it. Because they can, and it helps them somewhat mitigate the bad PR.

When you have insurance, a claim should become purely a discussion between your insurance company and the health providers. It seems the current system needlessly inserts the patient into the middle, for the purpose of torturing him/her with paperwork, threats, bills, threats of bills, and the need to learn the intricacies of in-network, deductibles and co-pays, lifetime maximums, covered vs. uncovered procedures, etc. Instead of the insurance and health companies privately fighting it out between each other, they stick you in the middle, fighting through you as the proxy/punchingbag.

Wouldn't it be better if you went to the hospital, gave them your insurance information, and that's the last you ever were involved with anything regarding payment? Isn't that one of the reasons we have insurance?
This is a wonderful idea. The people who own the signs, direct the traffic. It's why small business is drying up.

I admire the courage of the makers of this site, 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. The police are one of the most politically powerful, protected, and legally savvy groups in the country. Whether the law favors such claims or not is barely relevant to the risk of being destroyed by the cost of defending against such suits.

Legislation along the lines of anti-SLAPP laws could help, making the plaintiff pay for a failed action. But the political power of the police makes that unlikely, and if not narrowly tailored would discourage even well founded suits by plaintiffs with shallow pockets.
It’s surely a bit of a liability grey area?

Small things like getting made fun of for your name, repeatedly, for years, can really mess with you, especially when people (including the adults in the room) are laughing at you when it happens and it's when your brain isn't even close to being done developing.

That is ridiculous. The receiving end are not mind readers. And especially with kids, they do unintentional harm or bullying without being aware it is something wrong. They often think it is righteous or fun.

I spent a year and a half reaching the point where significant numbers of users on Hacker News were regularly reading my articles.

And now the world's largest car manufacturer is Toyota, the biggest gaming providers are Nintendo and Sony, and Mitsubishi and Hitachi are important players in every industry.

While I agree with what you are going for, I also struggle to figure out how to describe it, as the whole problem here is that people (and I am including everyone) can't obviously tell the difference between something that is simply falsifiable and something which is murky; like, the entire premise in some sense of these rigid framings is that "if you can't see how" [ "murdering a child that you might even be complicit in causing to exist" / "forcing a woman to carry to term a baby at great cost to her health and destruction of her livelihood that might literally have been forced upon her by rape or coercion"] (and I am sorry if I accidentally sound sided here in either direction as my goal is merely to provide two arguments people make strongly on the topic as it got mentioned in this thread: I am not trying to carefully balance an actual debate on this topic) "is wrong then you probably also believe the Earth is flat". We can't push for the premise that "you absolutely need to be able to convincingly argue the opposite side of of an issue to have a meaningful opinion on it" and then make exceptions for "the-Earth-is-flat type issues" (which I can like, provide an attempt to defend but it comes out sarcastic as it essentially involves knowingly working with limited data and constantly stating as such... it just sounds like "well without knowing I am stupid, I might think X").
I've met some pieces of work in my time. One class that stands out is the people who, on purpose or subconsciously, will hammer on someone, manipulating there sense of rightness (and often lack of self-soothing skills) to extract... I don't know what. Overtime? Self-esteem/aggrandization? Something else?

I have a vivid recollection of a moment where I was explaining how we were actually going to fix a deep problem while in the corner of my vision I watched the face of the person who brought it up fall like a rock. He was clearly expecting a dodge, and I pulled some sort of 5 Why's judo move on him with a, "yes, and...".

Incidentally, one of the superpowers of being someone that people can have a frank and potentially confidential conversation with is that people will bring you 'maybe problems' that sometimes turn out to be nothing (teach them how to do it themselves next time) or a potentially very bad situation. Having even a half hour head start on people to start thinking about a big problem makes you look a hell of a lot smarter in the OMGWTF meeting that follows. If you save people from looking or feeling stupid in front of others, they will pay you huge dividends, including Right of First Refusal on all sorts of things.
Hang yourself, idiot!
Off topic, can someone help me with the following on gitlab? Maybe I'm not searching with the right search parameters to get the right answers.

1. Who exactly is the assignee? When I'm working on a feature and raise a merge request, why am I given the option of selecting the assignee?

2. How can I cancel build pipelines when team members raise merge requests? I don't have a pipeline setup yet, but I don't want it to run in the first place (and fail)

3. Why is it that people who raise merge requests can approve their own request ? Is there a way to disable this? I would like to have people raise the merge request, but the ability to approve should lie with a few maintainers and developers.
That really shouldn't have been a surprise to anybody, certainly no one who has been through a corporate merger before.

The aquiring company always makes promises they won't change the aquired company, the aquired company's management parrots that line and in the end, the aquired company always gets subsumed into the aquiring company.

How? Is putting IP disputes in the court system "without government intervention?"

The entirety of the statement:

> As we oppose all government intervention in the marketplace, we favor the repeal of intellectual property laws. Disputes between inventors, creators, authors, artists, businesses, and other such entities should be resolved without government intervention.

This is madness. Without a notion of "property", there is no marketplace. Even the more extreme libertarians will generally agree that it is necessary for government to have police powers, partly to ensure that property rights are respected.

Now, one can argue (without being completely incoherent) that intellectual property should not exist as a concept, but that amounts to abolishing a certain marketplace, not preventing "government intervention in the marketplace". Moreover, denying property rights outright for intangible goods is a strong position, and not one I usually associate with libertarians.

Sometimes local third party politics is the only thing less sane than national two-party politics.
Perhaps the PR person didn’t talk to the hardware people first to see if it was actually possible. I doubt it’s ever going to happen. You should be looking to get the M2 and not wait for a fix that will never come.
Disagreement over property rights is basically the distinction between the original left-wing libertarians and right-wing libertarians.

Dejacque, the founder of libertarianism, first used the term in a scathing criticism of Proudhon where he nevertheless expressed his agreement with Proudhons "property is theft" while suggesting Proudhons was not radical enough.
Planned obsolescence seems better than unplanned obsolescence? If your uniformed consumer were informed of the lifetime of the product they buy, they might not be conned into buying things your informed consumer is aware of and avoids.

That's good because, as of current, when the population of uninformed consumers drive market forces, they often push out the options informed consumers would choose or at the very least, create trends towards the uninformed bias purchases that force informed consumers to start choosing the same options as well or drive up prices for the products informed consumers often buy due to lessened demand.

You know, when a bunch of people decide we'll let businesses stop producing devices we can repair or put out rent-seeking price structures and the rest of people are forced to use those options, all because of large scale manipulation of consumer perception. Then we end up with markets filled with garbage with fluffy profit margins for their owners... Then again, cigarettes still have a large market somehow, so maybe we're out of luck either way.

We did that last year. Pulled it out from the wall, twice. Sprayed it down completely with bleach. Let the bleach sit. Sprayed it down again.

We had to spray down the walls as well, because each time it had already grown to the walls.

After the second time, I thought we might have killed it, because it didn't come back. But I think that was just the weather changing.

It showed up again a month or two ago.

Each time I pulled it out to clean it, I got a headache from the bleach. I don't think I'm going to have to bandwidth to deal with all that when we're sleep deprived with a newborn. And we also don't want to risk further mold spread to the rest of the house.

I suspect that it's hiding out in areas of the fridge that I can't reach in the back. There's insulation, and the internals around the coils that are really hard to reach.

It's a really old fridge too. I don't actually know how old because I inherited it with my previous house, which I moved into in 2012. It was already old then, so it's at least a decade old and then some. Our old house was super moldy. So it's not surprising it infected the fridge.

Edit: I suppose we could try hiring someone. But I honestly think it's partly just that infected, and partly that the insulation has worn down over time, so that it stays cold enough on the outside to collect condensation and create a perfect mold environment in the summer. We try to minimize our use of AC and use fans and windows instead, so our house is a pretty humid and warm environment in the summer.
