This would largely depend on the particular contract. Money can be paid conditioned on an expectation of working for a period of time. Failure to meet your end can result in having to pay it back (in full or in part).

I think hospitals should treat people who are there because of their own fault. Smokers with lung issues, overweight people with diabetes/heart issues, etc should all be treated. I don't see how this is any different.

I understand being frustrated but dealing with people's problems causes themselves is part of the job.

The part you aren't mentioning is that in your model cat populations decrease when they cant find enough birds, which allows for the birds to repopulate, which allows for the cats to catch them and repopulate.

The feedback cycle is broken where the cats have ample food supplied and the cat population no longer depends on the prey population.

Your specific total compensation is not affected by the employer paid portion of health insurance, but all compensation across all employees across all businesses is surely affected (the money for the health insurance has to come from somewhere).

But back to my original point, is that the quality and cost of health insurance on healthcare.gov is comparable to what employers offer (many times it is the same product sold by same insurer). And it is at the same cost, just the tax treatment differs when an employer pays for a portion of it.

The CDC recommends getting vaccinated if you’ve had COVID unless there are medical reasons not.

As for there not being enough vaccines around the world: I’m taking the US centric view, sorry, because the whole context of this topic is about NYC etc.

We’re drowning in vaccines here, they are expiring while sitting in a fridge, and the logistics are currently just not there to rapidly move cold-store vaccines to another country.
Kafkaesque.
1) No one with diabetes yells at you that “diabetes is a hoax” and tells you to fuck off as you intubate them.
2) the prevention/cure for diabetes is clear (weight loss) but extremely difficult (low success rates). The prevention for covid is extremely easy and requires almost zero sacrifice or change in habits.
It does make me wonder if there is a need for personal microblogging software that presents to the world a bit better for reading. I notice we didn't get much uptake on our attempt at blogging for folks. Yet they can make quick Facebook posts easily. I do wonder how much friction a title has on sending out your thoughts.
> That said, I am one of those people who would prefer more rigid typing. I'm cautious about using SQLite at work specifically because I've been burned by that first example it gives. I had a situation where a client needed to use all-numeric IDs where the leading zeros were significant. (For example, "1234" and "01234" were two different IDs.) It was insisting on converting the string "01234" to the integer 1234. So when I tried to get it back out, it would give me the (non-equivalent) string "1234." I had a bugger of a time dealing with this - I eventually had to implement a workaround where all of these IDs were prefixed with a "#" character simply to force SQLite to stop trying to be helpful.

I think you're misremembering some crucial details. Sqlite only attempts to convert '01234' to the integer 1234 on insertion in columns defined with numeric type affinity. If it did so succesfully, it will return the value as the integer 1234, not as a string. The only way to preserve leading zeros is to store it as a string, and sqlite will do exactly that if the column was defined with text affinity. Moreover, this is the same behavior as in other databases: in mysql if you try to insert the value '0123' in a INT column, both with and without quotes, it will silently cast to the integer 123 and return that on retrieval.

I just tested all of this on both sqlite3 and mysql, but from memory, postgresql behaves the same.

We also forget that pre-european cultures in the Americas seem to have regularly practiced deliberate forest burning, for several reasons. They were much more measured and careful than the idiots who arrived after the 1500s, but American human-driven forest management didn't started with Europeans.

> This exemption is a sign that Bitcoin is getting closer to the mainstream of finance.

I think it’s more a sign that crypto is mainstream finance now. Specifically, the type that has enough money sloshing around at the top to warrant lobbying efforts and mingling with the finances of regulators.

> Same for crypto, keeping it on the fringes will only help illegal enterprises and rogue nations use it to bypass sanctions.

None of this has any impact at all on whether or not crypto is used for illicit purposes in other locations. Crypto is also already taxed and legal, so the comparison to cannabis doesn’t make sense either.
The best employers offer both and often have far better profitability.
> Obviously HN community is down on crypto.

This will earn you downvotes because it is a childish sentiment of HN.

Many on HN dislike crypto in its current form of lawlessness. Regulation like this is a positive step for the ecosystem. Cryptos will still have to prove their value outside of finance to become more accepted by HN.

I'm not sure how to take this news. I think Apple chose a very serious topic (child pornography) as a trojan horse to enter into people's private lives. What if we start seeing parents who had no ill intention getting cuffed and visited by CPS just because they thought their kid looked cute in the tub?
You can very much self identitfy with the now uncountable amounts of genders, pronouns, and cases of mental illness misdiagnosed as LGBT nowadays. I'm not saying gay people choose whom they are attracted to. I get that and I truly believe it. But when people identify as queer, bi, asexual (even though they have sex lol) then its something you're opting into. Clear as day seeing as these people can fluctuate their feelings on a whim.

I'm rather confident very few in California "forgot" that their areas burn. Large parts of California burn down every year and have done so through the height of "excessive fire suppression". Also fire insurance premiums help jog the memory.

The core of the issue has little to do with the fire suppression policy and more to do with the interface between humans and wildlands. There just aren't many areas that are even safe to do proscribe burns en masse that won't threaten some property or structures even if prescribed burns were emphasized.

And I just don't understand how ever single one of these "The REAL problem is California doesn't let wildfires burn" threads is they always start with, "yeah climate change could possibly maybe be one cause but the REAL cause is..." No, really, climate change is not some incidental factor here, the climate conditions in CA are a huge contributor to these fires and possibly dominating factor in these fires.
Corruption and diversity are obviously orthogonal issues which I think everyone recognizes, so I'm not sure what point Bill Burr was trying to make. Women being just as corrupt as men is kind of irrelevant for any diversity policy; Burr's joke isn't illuminating much here.

There is a relevant speech by a surgeon who along with other doctors started their own practice [1]. It's called "Why Aren't There More Free Market Surgery Centers and Clinics".

> The last two payments I received from Medicare were as follows: $285 for a six-hour cardiac anesthetic and $78 for the anesthesia services required for a knee replacement. These fees had been imposed through a mechanism referred to as the resource-based relative value scale, more appropriately called the Rosemary’s baby of healthcare. According to the folks at Harvard who gave birth to this creature, every physician service had a price and they knew what those prices were.

> Prices are signals, after all, and Medicare was sending me a signal regarding what they thought the service I provided was worth, or they meant to intentionally cull the ranks. I felt obligated to respond with a rational signal of my own and as I’ve mentioned, I quit participating in their scheme.

> To further bolster this bankrupt-hospital narrative, physicians and surgeons were told there was no money to buy the equipment and supplies they needed. It was becoming increasingly obvious that it was time to get out. I had no desire to be controlled by the rising administrator class.

Next he discusses how under the guise of protection of customers and care about the citizens, government (lobbied by hospitals) tried to close their practice up because they charged 1/10th of what "not-for-profit" hospitals did.

This is the right idea. Implementation is necessarily going to evolve, but this is the right problem to be solving and doing authz as a service is the right way to do it. I've hacked around on a related concept (different implementation, guided by UMA2, unique use cases, etc.) and it's one of those services that is just necessary and will adapt to SaaS well.

Will watch progress closely. Key business piece imo will be getting libraries and plugins out for enterprise development platforms, and possibly creating a private tenant concept. Can absolutely see why this was included in the batch.

You have the signature for `useCache` wrong. I defined it above (`Cache -> a`). Notice the concrete type...

I cannot stress this enough. You do not need to remove the possibility of a value not existing in order to compose a simple, coherent program. This is because `Maybe` is designed to handle all of the extra ceremony involved with utilizing such values. You only need to use `>>` (map) instead of `|>` (pipe) when invoking your functions. That is it.

All of the above is really beside the point though, because I am not arguing that one way is necessarily better than the other. I am arguing that the author's post is titled "Parse don't validate", that the perfect construct is right there to exemplify how parsing unstructured data into/through a system can be done, but then the author eschews it in favor of... validation (with what appears to be some tricks to fool the compiler)!

If your guard against an invalid state is to throw an exception you are validating. Attempting to redefine the terms to fit a particular narrative is a distraction that serves no one.

> Neither I nor the author is unaware that there are many combinators that make this more convenient than explicit matching against Just/Nothing but doing so is strictly worse than returning a FilePath directly

I'd like you to define "strictly worse" here. In order for "strictly worse" to make any sense we would need to define "strictly better" to mean something like: "to have a reference to a variable in this particular scope that is definitely a `FilePath`". But why are variables in this scope (`main`) so important? You can get reference to a `FilePath` directly whenever you need it through a `Maybe`:

useFilePath :: FilePath -> a

maybeFilePath <- (getConfigDirs >>= head)

maybeFilePath >> useFilePath

This is opposed to something like:

filePath <- getConfigDir // might throw

filePath |> useFilePath

There is no difference in behavior and only a slight difference in implementation. I suppose if you really really wanted to `print` the value of `FilePath` from `main` (and not some other function), the second version would be preferred (though you could still match in the first version to create a block in main where `FilePath` is statically defined). Pretty arbitrary though.
The finance industry will never say no to yet another financial instrument. These people will trade anything if you leave it up to them.
Pandemics in particular stress the system a lot because normally events the push hospitals to their limits are fairly localized and hospitals can borrow workers from elsewhere to fill out the staff. That happened early in 2020 in the US, some nurses made good money going from place to place as areas peaked in the early days of COVID.

Private hospitals in particular are never going to be particularly amenable to keeping the kind of slack that would be required to handle a pandemic. They barely keep enough staff for normal operations.
I love that demo. You can definitely see how much better something on the Amiga can become once you can feed it better samples and images. It looks so much newer while it's the same A500 I started with mid 80's!
I'm not sure what this comment is steeped in beyond a lack of reading on the topic.
If they wanted to squash it they should have done it much earlier (if it was possible at all and wouldn't have just caused Streisand Effect).

Now you have congressmen with laser eyes on 100k bitcoin twitter profile pics, the head of SEC taught classes about blockchain at MIT; it is way too late.

The smart thing is to embrace it, the complete opposite of the Chinese government course of action. You set back the entire nation by not embracing innovation.
There are major differences between Northam (did not commit a crime, happened decades ago) and Cuomo (did commit crimes, happened during his term in office). I suspect that the closer parallel in Virginia history would be Bob McDonnell- in 2013 he announced he was under federal investigation for bribery charges (like all sitting Virginia governors, he was ineligible to run for reelection, so this did not affect his campaign, though it definitely affect the campaign that was running to replace him).

He ended up taking the case all the way to the Supreme Court, who ruled that what he did was not legally bribery.

Doesn't really change that adding n months to a date is an ambiguous operation. You would need to give all months the same length to avoid the ambiguity, but then months would not add up to a year, which has its own set of problems.

> Great, so what's the solution?

I'd argue: avoid using proprietary networks, avoid vendor lock-in with software and hardware, and use hardware that one is allowed to use their own software on. Champion using open and federated protocols for social tools.

I think solutions exist, but honestly, it isn't easy.

> Making holier than thou comments about everyone else being sheep isn't helpful

I would offer the GP comment isn't necessarily a holier than thou comment, it's a comment of frustration. Frankly, I feel the same frustration.

It's tiring to hear snide remarks of "ohh yeah, we can include you for something because you don't have an iPhone". Hell, I have openly heard, even on this forum, that people don't include folks on social conversations with EVEN THEIR OWN FAMILY because of the dreaded "green bubble". (FYI, MMS is entirely done over HTTP and SMS! How is Apple's MMS client so bad that it can't handle HTTP and SMS?).

Or there is the "why don't you have WhatsApp/Facebook/Instagram/etc." and people think your some sort of weirdo because you don't want to use those networks.

So to be honest, when I see something like that, I think "Well I'm not surprised, this is what happens when you are locked out of your own hardware".

> What are you doing to fix it?

While GP may not be doing anything, others are helping and actively working for alternatives. For example, I have been working to get the Pinephone to have MMS and Visual Voicemail support so I can use it daily. I an very fortunate to work with a lot of very talented and motivated folks who want to see it succeed.
> We need to take away qualified immunity (which incorrectly protects the police officer involved from any kind of prosecution).

Not a lawyer, but I thought qualified immunity gave protection from civil liability, not criminal.
This remind me of interventionism described on the antifragile book. Also the role of small stresses in the health of a system.

A quick look at some papers indicates that prehistoric California burned much more acreage than the modern variety.
LOL. Your HN account is only a year old, so maybe you weren't alive when the Patriot Act was passed and people like you supported it because of all the scary terrorists.

"Known as a 'sneak and peek' warrant, law enforcement was adamant Section 213 was needed to protect against terrorism. But the latest government report detailing the numbers of 'sneak and peek' warrants reveals that out of a total of over 11,000 sneak and peek requests, only 51 were used for terrorism."

facebook is not going to buy my fediverse instance or my XMPP server. "they will just buy whatever gets used" gets thrown around too much as a sort of impotent defeatism. I don't see them buying instances on federated networks running open source software, and these networks are growing. we have to stop having this 2007 mindset that it is still okay to try to dump millions of people into a large centralized microblogging site.
On modern windows the limit is 2^47 bytes: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/memory/memory... With 8GB of virtual space per engine, should be enough for 16k of these engines. Interesting that you got OOM only after 1k engines, that’s 16x below the limit. Was that on Windows? Actual hardware or some VM substitute?

In my use case, I was lucky as I only need an allocator per hardware thread. They never approach thousands. So far, the maximum is 256 hardware threads, like in dual-CPU EPYC 7713.
That reminds me of the Revisionist History episode "The Big Man Can't Shoot" which is about how Rick Barry shoots underhand free throws in basketball. It's a Malcolm Gladwell podcast, so take it with a pinch of salt, but his point is that the underhand method is far superior and still no one uses it because they're afraid it looks ridiculous.

In short: keep doing it the ridiculous way and ignore the serious bowlers ;)

Absolutely, it's been a long while since I booted up Stellaris. Something like Starnet and absurdly hard cling-to-life difficulties brings a little spice, but it's pretty much a solved game of tuning resource flows.
