"If someone acts non-fradulently, and honestly conveys their lack of experience, their lack of competency in carrying out the service is no one's fault than the consumer."

You're ignoring the part where it cannot be conveyed, like when people are mentally ill, incapacitated, etc.

"But the remaining ~92% of healthcare spending is made through non-time-sensitive decisions where an individual has plenty of to assess the market options."

Just because it's non-emergency does not mean the person is capable if choosing. You have people who are mentally ill and incapacitated who are treated in settings other than the ER. The highest spending happens at the end of life stage.

"I'm arguing this legal framework, not saying that's how it currently is."

Do you actually have more details for how that framework would work? So far all I'm hearing is that we should nor have licenses for medical professionals. How does that work with medical professionals powers to suspend drivers licenses, commit people, help in emergencies (good samaritan laws), etc. How does this affect malpractice insurance and torts, especially if you're saying that any incompetence can simply be stated by the provider to avoid court intervention? How would this system work in relation to controlled substances and expensive equiptment maintenance/procurement? How are the safety programs legally enforceable or logically possible without training? We already see that VEARS has terrible quality data. There are many adverse events that go unreported, especially by the lower trained PAs/NPs (my experiences).

"Just as people delegate this analysis to a cadre of politicians in the current monopolistic system, people would be able to delegate analysis to reputable experts in a free market."

You keep calling this a monopoly, but it is not a monopoly. There are numerous providers competing with each other. There's simply a training/licensure requirement. How are reputable experts foing to be any different than the current system? My guess is that they will create their own license system and force people through that too. Insurances, which cover the vast majority, will still require licenses to ensure that people aren't getting care that will be ineffective and cost them even more. This includes stuff like Medicare and Medicaid that the government controls.

Do you have a thesis paper or something that we can see? We really need more information about what exactly you are proposing beyond 'remove licenses, free market will work', how that will affect the numerous aspects of the system as well as it's integration with other systems, and what research there is to support it.

I think this is really a case of self righteous indignation. There are people who truly believe you must take the vaccine, and nothing will convince them otherwise, but more importantly, If you say no you won’t take the vaccine, they take it as a personal attack on their beliefs. In other words: how dare you say no to what I want you to do.
Exactly, Twitter went through the same process, locking down its API, introducing usage quotas and getting increasingly more hostile towards Twitter clients that circumvented the ad-serving side of it.

I remember it was a shitshow at the time, probably around 2012, I worked for a company that was leveraging Twitter's API for a product and we got quite nervous about the hostility.
The only push-back I have on BJJ (as I practice both KM and BJJ) is that there is a huge sport-orientation whereas KM, assuming trained competently, is a combative system such that you'll often get a "practice this slowly and carefully because you can and will cause damage to your partner."

Personally, I have a little harder of a time training BJJ for the reason that everyone thinks it is the best for real-world defense but the reality is many moves open you up to serious maiming in a combative environment. Take for example the typical "get past the guard" move, I most always have the option in a true fight of grabbing your knees and splaying them outward leaving you with an unfortunate convalescent leave, perhaps permanent injury.

More generally, if you're going for true-blue self-defense any sporting-oriented art is good but not great - you'll do well against an untrained assailant, which is likely a good chunk of the threat model.

Karate - or how to know the difference between learning a thing and receiving a thing.
I am not the biggest karate fan, I did it growing up. But it is just one way to think, to move, act and react.

All martial arts give you a different flavour, they teach you different things. There is not one style that rules them all.

Tai Chi as you mentioned, in Lee style and others is way to move and flow. To think and be. Unsurprisingly it is a foundation for Kung Fu (grappling, striking etc.) and the foundation for weapon styles.

So a kata/form is a way to train yourself to move a particualar way. I appreciate that a 'stylised dance' may not be to everyones taste. But it is training your body and your mind to move a particular way. To react a particular way. To encode a way of holding yourself, of moving through space.

Similar to Tai Chi being a foundation to a sytsem of fighting. So too is karate. You can augment it with Aikido, Judo, JuJitsu. You can add weapons too.

The point is they all have value, (Samba and Systema look class) when you are younger you chase that outer excitement of testing yourself against others, I guess as you get older you start to think more about how to move and flow and think and be.

Sometimes there is a need to be violent, but I am not sure if that is what a child should be taught. Self defence is not just what a martial art is for, it is so much more than learning to hurt someone else.

IMHO.

Tesla's core business of car manufacturing is extremely profitable. Their automotive gross margin is substantially higher than most of their competitors, including the likes of Mercedes and BMW. It's only after you add on the costs of growth (capital expenditure, R&D, etc) that overall company profits become marginal.

This is because Tesla is doing exactly what you'd expect from a company undergoing rapid growth: they're spending every dollar they can on growing. Yes, Tesla have received a windfall of cash from credit sales, but all these have done is turbocharged their growth spending. If they didn't have this extra cash, they probably would have had to wait 12 months before beginning construction in either Berlin or Texas.

I really don't understand this argument. Isn't this basically a variation of https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B_QAQumXIAAZ-re?format=jpg ?

> Where's the "extreme flaw" in my reasoning, please?

"Extreme flaw" is your words, not mine.

In any case, we are already down to the same number of taps for both methods, and this while still assuming:

* That I'm either already logged in or that I can login in "2 taps" (very dubious, specially for old.reddit.com)

* That I can search whether there is an existing link with no effort or taps (easier with old.reddit.com, at the cost of swiping, unlikely with the new one), or that I don't otherwise care about telling everyone that I have downloaded the video.

* That autocomplete is going to work with strings such as "u/SaveVideo" or the like (it does not: most symbols and punctuation are enough to throw Android autocomplete away, the only symbols that usually work are @ and dots).

* That the bot is going to reply immediately and not make me wait an indefinite amount of time, and that I will not need to manually tap refresh N times to see when it is finished (which is the case in old.reddit.com).

And so on and so forth.

> Another aspect of these bots is that one person invokes it, the rest of the community can benefit from it.

So I would also link to the download video URL in my video downloader spam. Does that really change the argument? Would that make it "useful" instead of "shameless self promotion"?

Of course not. The difference here is that these "bots" have engineered their advertising so that they force their users to initiate it.

This is Pinterest all over again. "Pinterest" is also useful amongst their users, how do you think they made all their "collections" so large? It's just that their spammy advertising practices make it annoying for their non-users.

Oh absolutely. It has to be tax funded. The damage to the employer has to be limited to finding a temp/replacement - no more.

Pretty simple explanation, they let the clearly copyright infringing content in to their walled-garden under safe harbour protections, but allowing download is contributory infringement with distribution and there's no hiding from that as they can clearly easily prevent it (as they have).

You don't seem to understand the difference between a design choice you don't like, versus an objectively bad design.

When Apple removed the headphone jack from iPhones, (supposedly) in favor of making them waterproof, that was a design choice that many people rightfully disliked. However, we can imagine there was also a population of people who preferred such a tradeoff. For instance: lifeguards, sea-world trainers, deaf people. It's not a 'flaw' simply because you don't prefer it.

If you are someone who buys a diving watch, but isn't a deep sea diver, you aren't justified in complaining that the watch isn't solar powered. There are people who require (or at least prefer) such a watch, and if you aren't among them, don't buy it.

You don't get to decide what is and isn't a flaw based on your arbitrary use cases. An actual flaw is an implementation detail that is not consistent with the design specs. If Apple set out to make a phone with a working headphone jack, and the resulting product didn't have one, thats a flaw. If they set out to make a phone without a headphone jack, then it isn't a design flaw if the resulting phone doesn't have one.

Reddit Inc. has to give those investors their money back in someway.

> A pandemic ravaging the globe doesn't seem clear?

A fear campaign ravaged the globe. If there hadn't been a fear campaign, I don't think anybody but doctors and immunologists and such would have been aware anything significant was happening. Similar to previous seasonal illnesses that were technically pandemics, but no normal person recalls doing anything about it. For example, ask people who are old enough what they remember about the HK flu in 1968.

> Herd immunity and personal protection are both parts of every vaccine, they go hand in hand

I'm still waiting for the example from the past where we administered a vaccine to someone, saying to them "this is not to protect you, since you are not at risk from this virus, but it is just to protect someone out there, we don't know whom". Are you able to provide such an example?
Litnerd (YC S21) Is Hiring
Wow, very sad to hear this. My high school ran a trial project back in 2000 and my class became the first in my country where every student received a laptop to use in all classes. We used Scientific Notebook for math. Being able to solve any equation and draw any graph with the click of a button was a huge boost in my ability to grasp trig, polynomials, logarithms, etc.

I actually went from D-level math student pre-HS to graduating HS with an A+ and went on to get a degree in physics+math at uni. I honestly doubt if that would've been possible if not for SN.

You should not let one review stop you from reading Barrett's book. The subject is highly fascinating and important since much of our lives are ruled by emotions and feelings. I note that the review is from one "emotion researcher" who might be focusing on finer nuances which might not be relevant for a initial broad understanding of the topic for a general audience. Also the reviewer quotes Paul Ekman (i got introduced to this subject through his book Emotions Revealed) who has had his own research questioned - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Ekman#Criticisms. Nothing is set in stone here; marrying Social Psychology to concrete Neuroscience is a very difficult endeavour so an exposure to all viewpoints should be sought out.

If it was that simple, it would have been done already but just saying "everyone should have nice things" is easy until you get to implementing it and ask who's picking up the tab that is hard, as taxes are high already and budgets are tight in most of Europe.

There is no free lunch. Like I explained previously, all generous benefits given by the government have hidden costs to the employers and end up biting some workers back through reduced job mobility as employers optimize by hiring employees who will burden them the least.

It's unfortunate that it's like this, but companies will always act in their best interest.
The only difference between Apple and its competitors (Dell, Acer, Samsung, etc) is that Apple's shiny brand image makes content like Louis Rossmann's compelling. If the same treatment was applied to the likes of Dell and Acer, they'd be looking just as bad if not far, far worse than Apple.

(To be clear, the above is regarding Apple's engineering specifically, not about their business practices. I agree that Apple's competitors are generally far better at parts supply and general right-to-repair matters.)
> If there hadn't been a fear campaign, I don't think anybody but doctors and immunologists and such would have been aware anything significant was happening.

So the excess deaths, the health services stretched to capacity, this is nothing, nobody would have noticed at all?

I think this is a very, very strong claim given the numbers and would take some extraordinary evidence to back up.

Money isn’t worth anything if you don’t use it to buy someone else’s time.

If money could solve all problems, why don’t companies just send all their employees home and let their money do the work?

No they really need the employees to be there, giving their time and attention to the company mission. For that they are willing to spend a lot of money.

Parental time, care and attention is the most valuable thing you could provide a child with in the first few years of their life. Unless the time machine is invented, all the money in the world is no substitute.
It shares (and maybe always shared?) music and apps. Not just that, can also share among family members, not just head to others.

It doesn’t auto-share, they have to express an acquisition intent (click Buy) and it costs $0.

Apple has done an amazing job making family sharing seamless across most kinds of scenarios, and getting devs to support the licensing model.
Once upon a time Reddit was a link aggregator. You would post a link and the author would get credit. You could save the link without Reddit.

But Reddit is moving towards first party content. Not only has the site added native photo and video upload support but many communities disallow external content. Requiring a reupload or a screenshot. This not only removes the link to the actual creator but is also a nightmare for usability, especially for disabled people where a photo may be less accessible than raw text with their browser styling.

Unfortunately this is just what the web has come to. Not only just the web. I get people sending me things that I might like as a screenshot. Great, nice jacket, if only I could click that "buy" button.

I wonder why sharing of links is so unpopular, especially outside of the tech-sphere. Is it that "link previews" are generally worse than a screenshot of the page? Or is it just that people don't know where to find the links? This is especially bad on apps where you need to know how to find the share option separately on each app. Of course the screenshot shortcut is always consistent.
