Oh god... most euro countries have free or virtually free healthcare.

It's just information.

You could broadcast it on any communications medium. You could theoretically run it over a global ham radio mesh network.

Lots of the network is already running on Tor, so you'd also have to shut that down.

You could embed the information in the pixels of cat pictures and broadcast it via instagram posts.

Unless there exists a global, horrifically authoritarian constriction on the information we are allowed to share, it's not going to happen.

Git is awesome but it would really be great if they sunsetted merge instead of putting lipstick on it.

Merge of two good commits will silently produce bad commit.

Merges are not repeatable and can't be reasoned about.

Merges get in a way of git bisect.

Merge makes simple "git log" not contain all the log.

Good luck cherry-picking a merge commit.

Merge makes a commit which has important changes not apply to any specific revision of git log.

It's an enormous foot gun and a single contributor may inadvertenly taint your repository for life.

Merge is a make-believe working set operation, like if you could pretend to add apple to mango and get a pomelo.

Merge is VCS analog of lead acetate. Something you have no reason to ever put in your mouth.
It is indeed the former.

GitHub (which I'm not affiliated with) does some (all?) of their server-side merging with libgit2, not git itself, although I know they're considering moving to git with the "ort" work. So perhaps it's one of the cases where libgit2's behavior differs?
There was a spike but it's been back to declining for a while now. I was talking about the overall trendline.
Sure, but we didn't engineer that with performance in mind, and with computers it was enough to declare a previous generation obsolete. Whereas productivity for computer based applications was actually pretty good for the first generation of those machines, pretty much every cycle counted. Some people used them to play games and there was a recreational element to programming in its own right but it wasn't as though anybody would burn cycles to give a UI the texture of the real thing, it was a computer that worked and it produced results, which was all that mattered.
Indeed, Portugal was rightfully highlighted for zero-rating practices by some operators (not charging for some services, e.g. Facebook or Youtube).

It's not meant to be literal. We all understand basic biology. The reason some of us say "we are pregnant" is because it demonstrates that both people are invested in the pregnancy.
I'm from the US, and this has always been weird to me too. My understanding is it's essentialy a solidarity/personal-investment thing, a pledge from the non-pregnant partner to support the pregnancy and take on as much of the burden as possible, despite being unable to also be physically pregnant.

But to me it's always sounded trite, and a bit like virtue signalling. The only person you need to show your investment to is your partner, and you do that through your actions, not words.
>I never demanded "copius evidence" I asked a clarifying question. If you are going to make specific claims, people might ask for evidence of those claims. It's not confirmation bias to ask for supporting details, quite the opposite.

It is when you don't ask for the same evidence of the opposite, original assertion, and when the test you demand/clarify-the-existence-of is a strangely narrow test that no one would have reason to do in the first place because the core problem is that no one is subjecting the more modern art to that kind of rigor to begin with! (Which would obviate the whole debate.[1])

So yes, when you come in and single out my response as needing a very specific test before you'll consider it plausible, aren't being epistemically fair.

>Of course, you don't need to know Michelangelo to "enjoy" the Sistine Chapel, nobody argued otherwise.

Are we looking at the same thread? From earlier in this same thread:

>>Anything recognizable as a Michelangelo will automatically win just because he's Michelangelo.

The assertion is that the knowledge of Michelangelo and his association with that work is artificially raising the viewer's appreciation of it. My contrary claim was that it's appreciated as good work, more so than the garbage you see in modern art museums, because it's good, not because the average viewer cares about Michelangelo specifically, which dagw was saying that the later art does (apparently) require (knowledge of the artist and other "context").

>Your claim was that, "A Michelangelo work will win even if the viewer doesn't know it's Michelangelo or even who that is." This implies a measure of comparison to something or someone else, which is far different than enjoying a single piece of art.

It implies exactly what it meant in the original comment and thread:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29227817

That is, a comparison against the later super-edgey modern art.

> Value of materials depreciate

A house has a lot of raw material, most/all of which is getting more expensive. Even if labor were free (if you do all yourself) and the land is in a location that has not appreciated at all in a decade, building a new identical house still takes a lot more money than 10 years ago, just on materials alone.
the making of which I would like to believe is my fault

How so?
I think it is a way to emphasise that they as a family is expecting to have a baby. Also, even though obviously only the woman carries the child, a pregnancy is something that affects both partners on many levels.
I'm missing how you can have a transaction that is not broadcasted but that prevents a double spend. Can't I give two different people signed transactions for the same bitcoins? How could the second recipient know I've already spent the balance on the first? Apologies for the no-doubt naive questions, it just sounds impossible.
I think parent asked for subsidy, not total compensation of expenses.

I have two kids, 2.5 years apart, and there was one year in NYC where a small family daycare was running us ~$5k per month in childcare. We'd been aiming for the kids to be a bit further apart, partly for financial reasons, but shrug, it didn't happen that way (first kid took a lot longer of trying than the second). We're fortunate in that we can afford that, but it did impact our long-term savings and eventual home ownership.

I honestly don't know what the working poor do. I guess you're not aloud to move away from extended family.
It's not a paper, and no academic who is not interested in it anyway is going to make stupid comments about related work. No need to justify making what you wanted to make. Well done.
And right next door: Canada.
As a dad of three kids, you're right that only the female is literally pregnant, but its generally used to highlight the commitment both parents are making to the child. Further, it's recognizing that pregnancy is not a singular event, but instead an inflection point in their lives that both individuals are entering upon.

It's the event horizon of a black hole that inevitably swallows all of both parents' free time and disposable income.
I'm in Dunedin, but I didn't even know these birds came here! That's amazing. Do you know if DOC or whoever are planning anything to help?

People aren't allowed to go into the breeding areas on the Otago Peninsula for Albatrosses, surely something similar could be done for these?

I just wish our govt would assert more control in our EEZ from illegal fishing. It's very saddening when you read articles about how the adult birds get caught in the nests etc.

Yet the most pernicious threats to albatrosses today are not to chicks but to adult birds. Along with other seabirds, they are locked in a competitive battle with humankind for the food resources of the sea—and the birds are losing. This is not just because of the efficiency of modern fishing practices but because fishing equipment—hooks, nets and trawl wires—inflicts a heavy toll of injury and death.[0]

You're off by at least an order of magnitude there. I see estimates from $6 trillion[1] to $8 trillion[2] for the cost of the war on terror. Taking the high estimate and the 2001 population of 285 million (i.e. ignoring population growth since 2001) gives $28k per person, or $1400 per year over 20 years. Accounting for population growth and taking the lower cost estimate decreases the amount further.

One thing I might have missed in the story -- the reason for attempting to go on Medicaid was due to not having private insurance and the ability to pay for stratospheric out-of-pocket costs, or was it because private insurance immediately rejected a 2.5 million dollar claim?

Not saying it's right, but I'd presume for claims that large you'd probably have to get a lawyer/some form of professional advocate involved even with private insurance.
Medicaid is for low-income earners.

The parent described the median-income earner.

In my state of Arizona, if you were grossing 36,000 a year with a family of 3 you would be about 20% over the threshold to qualify for medicaid.

There doesn't look to be.

I think it has been updated in the last few hours - they've added a link to a trello board created 4 hours ago, and I don't remember a [COMING SOON] replacement for home timeline being there previously. So maybe they're going to add more endpoints than currently exist, but it'll take a lot to not have people worried about another rug pull.
I guess, the underlying principal in my mind is around the intent of why they are removing such a feature, when it has very valid uses even as a consumer of content. I understand some of the issues with the upvote/downvote concept in terms of targetted ratio campaigns, however, I think it is censorship if they are removing this information for the intent of social engineering, which I think that they are. I know I'm mostly speaking on gut here, and I could be wrong as to the motivators behind this change.

It's just that it is a very unique situation. We're at a stage where YT is one of the most important platforms on the current web, it's incredibly centralized, and at the end of the day it is up to the whims of Alphabet execs on how they want information published on their platform.

So maybe it's not exactly "censorship" in the standard definition. However, there is functionality that exists and has existed in the product since inception (when it was a rating system instead of voting). You have always been able to see how unpopular a video really is. Taking this away is an alarm to me, especially in today's environment.

I apologize if it's a bit hard for me to explain my reasoning here, but it just truly unsettles me.
It's an asset but not an investment.

It's factored in your net worth (i.e. your wealth) but it's not something you can leverage like the rest of your wealth.

Note that if you're a homeowner, and the overall market goes up, you don't benefit from it at all. Your wealth goes up on paper, but it doesn't change anything in your life except it will be more expensive if you want to move.

There's an HN post from a few years ago with a bunch of interesting reading from the "old days" at Twitter.

Parents get to choose. I thought you guys were against death panels.
Good on ya - your partner will be forever grateful, and you’ll thank yourself as well for not trying to work while no one is getting a full night's sleep. Even if breastfeeding works out 100%, having someone else get some of those overnight diaper changes is the difference between holding it together and being a complete wreck.

Those first few weeks present an unparalleled opportunity of becoming a larger part of the rhythm of your baby’s life. My husband took the month after our kid’s birth, and then the transition to daycare at a year old, and that has entrenched wake up/go to sleep as their special time together, no matter how long his work days have ended up.
How exactly would they know that it's public access? Their algorithms don't understand what content is, it just recognizes patterns in data, and that one snippet of video is sufficiently similar to another as to be considered the same snippet. Putting in a rule to deal with an edge case is non-trivial, and there are an infinite number of edge cases.
Anyone remember the Bump app to share contact details?

Whatever I do, I'd definitely include a device with OsmAnd, and keep the maps updated. I could hardly survive the apocalypse without good maps. A backup of Wikipedia would also be very useful.

I'd add a few thousand books since they use little storage space.

I'd probably use regular phones like a Pixel 5, a few user-repairable laptops, and lots of USB-C cables and chargers. I'd make sure to have the means to keep them charged off-grid.

That ought to be enough. It's barely more than what I pack on long distance motorcycle trips.
No - Medicare for all is what is being proposed.

There is a stark difference between Medicaid and Medicare. Medicare, for those who can enjoy it (65+ or meeting criteria for chronically disabled), is pretty good insurance. You have your pick of specialists or primary cares, it reimburses providers pretty well, and ironically, processes claims faster than private insurance. There are some glitches that should be fixed sure, but it is definitely viable as a healthcare plan.

Medicaid in comparison, is bare bones - the political reasons I'll let other people comment more, but access to care is severely restricted, it doesn't pay providers enough to keep the lights on, and is not really capable of providing any semblance of the modern standard of care.
It's cruel because nearly everyone can be hit with a $2.5M expense, not because it's means tested. It's the fact that it's random and impossible to prepare for that makes it cruel. I don't have any issues with means-testing insurance subsides, food stamps, or rent vouchers, because those are payments that are predicable and won't wipe people out.
Ocassionally, but pretty rarely in my experience. Both types of functions should exist, it should not be so hard to return an either/or.
Time to ration the military it seems.
Also, while this isn't so much a macOS as an iOS thing, there are a huge number of apps that take advantage of wanting functional notifications turned on ("your food has arrived") to constantly spam the user with marketing notifications ("sign up for FoodPass, 50% off!").
OK, just need to put this out there for ANYONE in a similar situation.

It seems relatively unknown, but in the US you can enroll a child with chronic illness into Medicaid through the "Katie Beckett" [1] program, regardless of household income.

Unfortunately, that process is both annoying and semi long (takes a month or so). Part of the process involved applying for and getting denied medicaid coverage.

All this is to say, if you have a child with a severe long term illness/disability, you can get them extremely generous healthcare even if you are pulling in a large salary.

I've had to do this with my own child, so I know it's really rough. But please, take advantage and get your kiddo all the therapy/medical care they need.

Edit: I should note that not every state has this. Many (23) do. It looks like Indiana is one of the states that does not have it :(. States are required to have passed TEFRA. [2]

> * This implies that Grosskreutz re-racked his gun at some point--something he claims is a threat to kill.

It doesn't imply that. It would be nice if, in a thread about the media misreporting the facts of the case and feeding the biases of the folks who are supposed to be benefiting from the coverage, we wouldn't make other assumptions. You might think it's reasonable to make this assumption, but (a) the people leaping to conclusions—many of which turned out to be wrong—and repeating them ad nauseum over the last year also thought their assumptions about Rittenhouse were reasonable, and (b) as it turns out, the source of the ejected round is knowable/known since it was also caught on video (and it wasn't Grosskreutz doing as you said).

[I'm not going to actually delve into the details on that, since as far as I'm concerned this thread is about the meta issues of epistemology in the age of social media echo chambers and the contributions of traditional media to it, and we're best served by staying on that topic and not straying into the details of the case, which provides us a vehicle for the discussion but other than that is really just a tangential third rail.]
How is this different from the lightning network?
Acknowledging that the most significant part of being pregnant is everything that comes after the birth and not the physical act of carrying a baby. We expect fathers to be parents now too.
This is much simpler than some of the other utilities mentioned, but I love pbcopy and pbpaste. Being able to pipe from stdout straight to the clipboard, or vice versa, is really useful.
I can't speak for Indiana, in my circumstances it wasn't that the benefits were 'means-tested' but more that they had a single application for any number of qualifiers.

There were multiple ways to qualify for Medicaid and some of them are purely based on poverty with no disability or medical issues. Those cases needed the carefully documented income, bank accounts, retirement funds, etc. It's a bad system in many ways in and of itself, but at a high level they do need some way to confirm that Elon Musk isn't applying for Medicaid just for shits and giggles.

The other qualifiers for Medicaid are medical issues that are detached from income.

The frustration of it all is that there is a single form and while you'd hope there'd be a 'skip this section if you do not qualify based on income' there isn't, and you can end up trying to pull together every financial document you have.

( It can be worth a try to attach a W-2 so they have something and stopping there. They can contact you if they need more )
Yeah, me to. I think that was always the plan, but nobody's had the time to go back, re-visit it, and make it so.

I'd say that most of the work of driving features forward in git is hunting down those various edge cases, taking the time to understand them, and explaining them to others. So if anyone's interested in flipping that particular switch it's very open to first-time contributions.
Not at the federal level.

Because the federal system has a strong bias towards states as opposed to people, you need to change the minds of people in the resource extraction states.
How much you "need" varies tremendously based on body weight, genetics, climate, and activity. A roofer working outside in the Louisiana summer will need way more salt than a sedentary office worker in Oregon. Most people who are metabolically healthy and sufficiently hydrated can maintain a proper sodium balance with no negative health impacts even if they consume a little extra salt. But some fraction of the population will suffer hypertension and other conditions; this is usually a symptom of deeper underlying physiological problems.
I assumed it was obvious. I'll translate for you: "the point that you're making is dangerously similar to some well known tenets of Nazi Fascism. If you don't spouse that ideology, maybe you should adjust your rhetoric in order to avoid giving that impression".

Where I work, they use more and more google services every day, to my chagrin (since I've spent years learning the quirks of AWS).

Amazon's solutions can be fit into various architectures, but are more generalist tools than the BigQuery, DataFlow and BigTable application.

Google's solutions are also cheaper and/or easier to work with, for very large data processing.

> people have full control over having children

I disagree. There are plenty of people without access to birth control, abortion, or even proper sexual education in the US.

I've spoken with so many people who are at once against sex ed, abortion, contraception and parental benefits. That is wanting to have your cake and eat it, too. Without the first three you're going to need the last one. Not everyone has a good familial or social safety net. Not everyone is independently wealthy. Exceedingly few can live completely pastorally.

It's like asking for a software product fast, cheap and high quality. Pick two.

Same with society: you can have a healthy, free and educated populace, able to fulfill personal/social obligations (ie child rearing, taking care of aging parents, building lasting friendships), and/or working at peak economic production/efficiency. But I doubt you can have all three at the same time without massive subsidization or regulation. An individual's time and resources spent on one are the opportunity cost of the others. I'd be interested to know counterexamples of societies that were able to achieve all three.
