ACA is at the federal level, but it allows pricing healthcare based on 3 things: location, age, and smoking status.

And up until ACA, all health "insurance" was administered state by state, with various additional state laws and compliance with state insurance regulators, so instead of dismantling all that, it was mostly left alone as long as it complied with the ACA minimums.

Healthcare providers charge very different amounts in very different places, due to reasons such as doctors wanting more money for having to live in less desirable areas, so it makes sense that it would cost more or less in different places.

Also, the "risk pool" is restricted to each state due to aforementioned system of regulating insurance state by state, so states with smaller populations have less lives to spread the healthcare costs around. This means that healthcare costs in smaller states could be lower, if everyone is healthier, but more likely is something like the case of Iowa where a single anemic patient caused an insurer to back out of the state since their healthcare costs were so high it was not profitable to operate in the state (until the Iowa government, i.e. rest of Iowa taxpayers, stepped in to help.)

Some of this is also due to political compromises during ACA passage that continued to allow employers to silo their employees' into their own risk pools via employer sponsored health insurance, and a lot of these are the healthier lives that would help shoulder the healthcare costs of the "general public".

The word "incredible" usually has a positive connotation, of something impressive being achieved that benefits society. Those case is incredible, but has such severe privacy concerns that there is no such positive effect present. AI has a great deal of promise if used responsibly, but gross invasion of privacy shows promise of a different kind. This is a horrific milestone.
Seems ok for the 'existing financial system' to do it. Governments can just do a bailout when it collapses.

I think we will continue to see these parallels. The only reason people accept the existing financial system is that they don't understand it and/or it has become normalised. When people are seen trying to pull the same tricks with crypto, there is a justifiable but unfair negative response.

You need to disassociate the tech ( blockchain) from the example implementation ( cryptos)

Crypto has become monstrous, filled up with fake stable coins and most of them ( i think) consider it a pyramid scheme currently, nothing more.

> How do stocks that never pay a dividend settle?

The textbook answer to stock value is dividends. Many companies, most, I would argue, never reach that point.

In practice, the chief defender of fundamental value is M&A. Whole-company buyers can tap free cash flow in a way minority investors can’t. That is the arbitrage that sets a lower bound on the value of a company’s shares relative to its cash flow. (There is no similar mechanism for setting an upper bound.)
Hahahahahaha, I'm sorry. This is a ridiculous take. It sounds as if you are justifying handing over your entire digital identity, which includes given someone so much information about yourself that you could be easily impersonated, is justifiable because it will cut down on online trolling? Not to mention, you are giving all of this information to a regime that regularly "disappears" people for dissenting stances, and is actually running literal concentration camps.

Letter to a Young College Student – Things I Wish I Knew When I Was Younger
From the abstract

> Our work establishes an unambiguous quantum computational advantage that is infeasible for classical computation in a reasonable amount of time.

Bold statement for a paper that then only provides a guesstimate of the time needed for classical algorithms.

The argument in the paper is essentially a glorified begging of the question: the authors presuppose the optimality of direct simulation of their quantum circuits via Schrodinger-Feynman. They then show that S-F is significantly slower than their quantum machine, "proving" quantum supremacy. They fail, of course, to aargue that there is no alternate classical algorithm that can accomplish the same thing; a pitfall that has trapped multiple similar papers in the recent past.

In essence, this is just a new-age variant of the P != NP "proof" that says "well there can't be any solution faster than trying every path". Quantum computers may down the line prove themselves to be superior to classical ones, but failure of imagination is on its own no proof of classical inadequacy.
There are both underground and licensed therapists who will work with patients who use psychedelics. Discretely ask around and you might find them.

Try asking around at psychedelic conferences and psychedelic meetups.

Also try contacting MAPS[1] and CIIS[2] (which has a training program for psychedelic therapists), and related organizations. Contacting people doing research in to psychedelics might also be fruitful.

So... from a really quick search I'm guessing there's more to the story in practice. Knowing nothing about Canadian carriers, I went to https://www.whistleout.ca/CellPhones/Guides/best-cell-phone-... and saw a 1G/$23 plan. That gives $0.022 / MB = $0.03 for Reddit, so much less than $0.17. Is it the choice of the largest carrier that breaks the comparison in Canada's case? Or am I missing something else?
I wonder if the price of mobile data per megabyte depends on the population density and larger metropolitan areas vs. rural. I.e. the higher the density the cheaper. At least intuitively should be the case, because otherwise why would the prices vary so widely?
Jokes aside, the USA seems to have an enormous amount of local democracy with significant powers.

The side most obvious to outsiders is where it seems to work badly - the bad sheriff who keeps being re-elected, quirks like dry counties. But it's admirable in a way, that people have some power to determine the local rules, together with the freedom to move away if they don't like it. If local democracy were extended further, there would be more variation, and more weirdness, but perhaps it would be a good thing overall.

I am writing this as an appreciative referral to the efficient and reliable credit repair white-hat hacker Jamie of Credit repairman network. I had a little disagreement with my landlord which lead to him evicting me from the house ,i wasn't going to pay for extra charges that were not in the initial agreement. he put an eviction on my report and this created a lasting blemish on my credit report,i struggled with it for a long time this hurt my credit score so bad , i was unable to rent the houses of my choice neither could i get a loan, i spoke about it with an old friend and he recommended a hacker with the contact address Creditrepairmannetwork@gmail.com .This hacker is incredible, in few weeks he wiped the eviction blemish,tax liens, collection and my heavy studend loans off my credit report and this had a huge impact on my credit score.he got my score up from 619 and now i'm scoring a wonderful 786 and all thanks to this excellent credit specialist. reach out to him for your credit repair service and credit score increment.
More standard: have a simple two or three line summary of your experience and what you're looking for at the top that often gets tweaked for specific job applications. If you're applying to a company whose product you use as a hobby, that can definitely be worked in there.

That said, don't be surprised if interviewers haven't read the CV at all, never mind down to the bottom and remembered everything in it...

Also don't forget employers do basic eligibility screening as well as "this candidate sounds great" screening. If you suspect that something about your name or work/education history might make screeners suspect you need a visa, make sure you put "right to work" or "citizen" on there somewhere

Wondering if esp32 + some infrared board wasn't an option here
Interesting way to put this data, but it’s outright wrong in most cases in day to day life. The plans most people purchase has much better Data/$ ratio.

And this conclusion is the opposite:

> Because these numbers are based on the least expensive plan, they are best case scenarios.

They are the worst case scenarios at the very least in Brazil where I have purchased such packages
If it is true, then they were stupid by making themselves a victim by putting too much information online and weren't equipped to handle themselves.

Apropos, Mao did have a saying that is inconveniently true: Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun If you cannot defend your person, then you cannot defend your speech.

1. Don't put personal information online.

2. Always be able to physically defend yourself. The police can't be everywhere and can't help you in the 5-45 seconds a situation comes and goes. Knives, OC pepper spray, and/or guns.. or be a defenseless victim/statistic.

3. Stand-up to insecure bullies. Ignore narcissists.
The methodology is a bit odd. As best as I can tell it looks at the cheapest data plan that offers >500MB. If there's a plan that's $1 more per month but offers 100GB of data, the price per visit would drop rapidly but this tradeoff wouldn't be reflected in their price.

They say it's "best case" but that appears to be based on the minimum hurdle to get a data plan, rather than the minimum data price.

I think a better measurement would be a range based on a few different price levels (cheapest/most expensive/modal) but I understand that would be much harder to implement.

A tool that compares cost of living in high resolution could be useful for comparing relocation options.

However, I have my doubts that many retirees are interested in evaluating retirement destinations solely on cost of living requirements. Nearly everyone wants to retire to some place they enjoy which is close to their friends and family. Moving across the country to save a few hundred dollars per month isn’t helpful if you spend thousands of dollars more every year on plane tickets to travel back to see friends and family.
The majority of people have wealth in real estate and generate income from wages, both of which are inflation neutral.

In contrast, the rich are much more likely to have bonds or cash holdings. They are the ones for whom inflation is a real problem. Why else would all this political pressure for a 2% inflation target exist? It's because that's low enough for the rich, not because it's high.

Printing money and redistributing it would severely impact capital holders, like it did in the post WWII boom which created the middle class.

> Isn't there a problem with the sampling here? What if people who likely install RegretsReporter are also people who are more likely to view tangentially related problematic content in the first place, and then are shown more of it. Also, the dividing line on what's consider problematic is difficult, as we saw recently with Right Wing Watch.

As I commented above, sampling is a problem, but the sample was only used to gather candidate videos which were then manually analyzed following Youtube's own content guidelines.

So the takeaway is: According to the study's authors, Youtube recommends videos despite them violating their own guidelines.
> it incentives click-bait and outrage-bait more than anything else.

Yes. And as I wrote above I don't expect anyone to get rich from it if done according to how I thought it would work.

As for avoiding click bait, what blendle did was to offer refunds. I think they later reversed that policy, and I think that was the point I gave them up (also Linux magazines and other stuff I wanted to read never showed up).

Still, for someone wanting to be running a decent company, not a unicorn factory I think there is a niche:

I actively read very much, even from journalists I deeply disagree with, and I'd rather spend $2 extra a day on good writing than coffe (for instance).
Spent a few years living in Canada but mostly in the UK. It seemed that Canadian prices were roughly double.

My anecdotal guess is that the infrastructure costs are higher in Canada due to lower population density. Lots more area to cover to achieve the same coverage.
I have to question comparing the top quartile in one class to the average in another. The top quartile of mutual funds also produce high returns and outperform public markets. Heck, the top quartile of horse race bettors probably outperform the market as well.

That said, I believe your core point. My guess is the person you are responding to is missing vital core skills or otherwise has an uninvestable company. It might be fixable (hopefully) or not.
Intel Continues to Rehire Veterans: At Some Point They’ll Run Out
To put it in perspective, the average website costs $0.12 in Canada.

Both an indictment of general bloat and Canada data prices.

More interesting is how much it costs for people in poorer countries — Where the absolute value of visiting a site is less, but relative to income is far greater.

Understandably you don't see much about this online — people with expensive data plans don't use it all up complaining about it online.

From an article on The Atlantic website [1] concerning the origin of the goal of 10,000 steps per day:

> Based on conversations she’s had with Japanese researchers, [professor of epidemiology I-Min] Lee believes that name was chosen for the product because the character for “10,000” looks sort of like a man walking. [2]

If the character for 5,000 or 50,000 happened to have looked like a walking person, we might have had that number of steps as our daily or weekly goal. It's remarkable that the actual optimum of steps for health benefits is that close to a heuristic from the 1960s.

I honestly can't tell if the "least expensive plan" combined with "best case scenario" actually means the lowest total price, or least expensive per MB. I agree that it's either odd methodology or odd wording.

I imagine this assumes you pay for a certain amount of data each month? The standard plan I have here in France has unlimited 4G and 5G data and costs me 15 euros a month (I also use them for the home/office internet for 40 euros a month so it is 15 instead of 20 euros for the cell). The cost of visiting a site on moibile under such a plan is essentially zero.
