Yes.

When you turn 65, you receive Medicare benefits after a pretty painless application form, which is mostly to obtain coordination of benefits information for retiree private plans

Aftwards, you have very little interaction with Medicare, other than if you are placed in a nursing home or rehab, at which point you may need to argue for more benefits as the rehab will try to maximize their revenue by kicking you out after 90 days.
> Although I believe that Cingular was gone by the time the iPhone actually launched.

It was “gone” in the sense that it was renamed “AT&T Mobility”. (Cingular Wireless bought AT&T Wireless before the iPhone deal, but its parent company [SBC] later bought AT&T, adopted the AT&T name, and rebranded Cingular as AT&T Mobility.)

Ever looked at the paperwork burden of private insurance for a child with a rare medical condition? I have. My wife and I spent a year - literally twelve months - filling out reams of paperwork to get a rare medication covered. And eventually failed. There did not appear to be any end to the paperwork. It was itself clearly punitive, they designed it so you would likely fail so they wouldn't have to cover the condition.

US, OH here - Most people I know have employer-sponsored health insurance and have no idea what it actually costs. I was self-employed and paid for my own insurance for years (and paid roughly the same that my employer pays now). If people realized how much is getting paid for their health insurance that could be going to their income they might actually care. Except they won't. >sigh<

(Yes, I'm aware that there'd still be cost for universal insurance coverage in the form of taxes-- that's not all lost income. Still, I bet we could do better than the current "system" with single-payer and a real, forthright effort to actually reign-in costs. Oh, and no for-profit insurers.)

Just a side note that, electronics are good and all, but stockpile printed matter also. You can fit a lot of vital knowledge that you can access without electricity in a very reasonable amount of space with the aid of small print, a simple magnifying glass, and some plastic bags, painted glass jars, and/or lamination for protection from water and light
I also skipped SA even though my friends loved it. I think it still represents the carefree promise of the old internet.
I can totally relate. Holding cash is also a scam (devaluation via inflation). Many people are in a bind what to do with their money these days.

Still, I chose to exit the crypto-sphere specifically because of Tether. Consider the following:

Bernie Madoff’s fraud began in the 90’s (according to Madoff). If you’d known back then what you know today about Madoff’s fund, but if for some reason you didn’t know the timing of its ending, would you still have invested in Madoff’s fund back then?
Institutionalized negging is something I've become more aware of over time. Powerful if evil way to control costs.

Once you see it happening to you or a friend you can begin to cast backward through your memory to identify other times when the same thing was happening but you just didn't have a name for it.
The point wasn’t for this to be desired by anyone

It is just a show and tell

And now we also have a new client on the network!
>There is a clear majority in favour of universal health care benefits in the electorate on either side of the political duopoly. Most representatives are just not listening to their constituents.

Is there? One obvious question would be how such polls are worded. I'm sure you can get 60% of americans to agree on "universal healthcare", but only 25% agree with universal healthcare proposal A, and 35% agree with universal healthcare proposal B. In the end there isn't enough support for a specific proposal, because it means different things to different people. We saw that with brexit, where the majority voted "leave", but they all had different ideas of what "leave" meant, and none of the concrete proposals had anywhere near 50% approval rating.
> Yeah, I bet when it comes to your own healthcare you'll want your provider to do whatever it takes to keep you alive. Because you think your life matters.

I don't know. I don't think I would want to be kept alive through a host of crippling medical conditions for a few more months without much hope for a normal life afterwards.
Ah that's fair. The "Space Rolodex" theme is a bit motion-sickness inducing.

I find that useful because I can navigate to a folder where it used to live, and then flip back until the file I was looking for appears.

Compared to the alternatives: Connected Backup and Carbonite require me to manually enter dates until I find the file, and for a while Carbonite would keep closing the folder tree requiring me to re-expand every branch each time the date changed. However, duplicity requires me to dump the entire log and grep, which is a power user solution one could argue.

I think duplicity wins here because I can grep for the filename. But barfing Mac Rolodex can be helpful if I don't know the filename.
I know the relative power dynamic can complicate things... but, it sounds like you need to stand up for yourself more. Tell the stakeholder that no more work will be done until a decision is made. You have done your part, the stakeholder has the authority to make the decision so on their head be it.

If that doesn't work then you have three options: escalate to their boss, live with it, or quit.
> The mainstream media lies, constantly and blatantly, not by minor omissions or bad research, but by gross, egregious violations of truth that can only be explained by extreme malice and contempt for their viewers.

At least, here in America we decided that justice should be public and cameras freely admitted into courtrooms. It's sad to see that YouTube is trying to work against these ideals of transparency, openness and universal access.

It is not, however, a universal freedom. In many foreign countries (even in Canada) it's simply impossible to get a simple video and audio feed outside of the courtroom.

Only people with the means of queuing up and spending the whole day in court can get the privilege of seeing and hearing justice with their very own eyes and ears. The rest have to rely on what these people will decide to write in either the state backed medias or billionaire owned news outlets.
Cloud Service Usage Price matters a lot. I actively move systems off of AWS to save costs. Take Cloudfront as an example. Bunny is half a cent per GB and has no per-request cost. I've seen Cloudfront cost over 20x more. A $10,000 bill instead of $200,000 per month is well worth the engineering work.

Btw, Bunny is also $10 flat rate for unlimited image processing... and they only bill the post-processed bandwidth cost. The price of my AWS equivalent for that pipeline was quite the comparison. :)
IMHO, the suggestion of wokewashing is off the mark. Here in PT there have been recent instances of police violence, but they were not accompanied by a movement to force police to wear cameras.

The government presented a single law package covering police bodycams, wider surveillance, AI, biometric and police drones. I can only understand this mixing together of disparate issues as a way to diminish public debate and perception around some of them.

The bodycam issue ended up capturing most of the media attention, in part because it involves labour issues, whereas AI or biometrics are much more technical and harder to approach journalistically. I think this is why you find the drive to pass police bodycams -- they're trying to pass a lot of things under the rug, and bodycams just happen to be a convenient talking point to remove focus from others.
Medicaid also varies by state. South Carolina for a long time did not provide any “optional”

I moved from Linux to Windows for less hassle with hardware and sleep. I stopped using windows because of the reboot issue (and hassle with sleep...laptops kept waking and burning out in my bag). I went to ridiculous lengths to avoid it rebooting when I had a bunch of VMs running doing long-running computations and it just kept biting me. Sometimes the VM disk would get corrupted from this.

Eventually I realized it hated me and wanted me to fail in life, or perhaps click on all the crappy games or whatever it insisted on installing from time to time.

This is a false talking point. My mom was a marriage and family therapist until she retired, and the burden of dealing with private insurance paperwork - private insurance - was so onerous that she and other therapists she knew simply had to stop dealing with insurance. Medicare paperwork was simple compared to that.
You're a youngster that purchased your first home?

The question is not why others can't; the question is how did you do it.

Please elaborate about your background, education, geography, occupation, whether you have a partner, children, medical issues, and what kind of home you purchased (is this a tent you set up in the woods, or a single-family house), how far it is from work, and how you get there.

Also please include any assistance you got from your family before getting to that point, including contributions to the downpayment, owning property where you could live without paying rent (or allowing you to live comfortably rent-free at their place), co-signing on the mortgage and/or student loans, paying for your education, buying your first car, etc.

Usually, the answer to your question is "because not everyone's parents are well off"; but let's hear your success story.

I like having an hostile (desktop/shell/computer) environment to stay sharp and not being stuck on ideas.

I really like this idea, it reminds me of something my dad used to do, that I copied as much as I could. Whenever I drive somewhere regularly, I try not to go the same way twice in a row. As long as it doesn't add too much time, I will take a different major road, or if that's not an option I'll take different side roads.

When was the last time you used Databricks? You should definitely try it again. Their product offering has improved a lot in the past few years.

> broad feature set

My experience is that the feature sets of Snowflake and Databricks are very similar. Both have time travel support. Snowflake has materialized views, but Databricks has Delta Live Tables. Databricks has a distributed Pandas API, but Snowflake recently introduced Snowpark. Databricks also has autoscaling and they recently launched a serverless offering that makes autoscaling super fast aswell.
Yeah, that part I'm not clear on. Some birds do rely mostly on airborne insects for food. Another article I linked in this thread had a note that swifts primarily eat airborne insects and can stay aloft for 10 months at a time.

Manufacturing Consent by Chomsky describes in detail how the media lies, manipulates, twists the facts/truth to fit a particular narrative. He gives example after example after example. They also selectively ignore certain stories while simultaneously amplifying certain other stories.

This has been going on for decades, this is nothing new. What is new is the medium and the cost. TV is still expensive even today, while internet is cheap, its reach is much larger and it has permanent memory.

This is why we should support smaller independent outlets like TYT. We may or may not like their style, but they don't rely on corporate sponsors and that deserves respect. I am also happy about independent newsletter publishers (on substack, for example) - these are a drop in the ocean, but still a start.

I can't name a single large publication (left, right, center, liberal, conservative... whatever) that I trust or respect :(
Isn't it illegal for 17 year olds to carry assault rifles and point them at others (prior to the incident where life wasn't threatened) as admitted in court.

> To be clear, the death of such a person, especially if it is while they are in the process of trying to assault and/or kill someone (which the evidence clearly shows) is in fact something to be celebrated. The world is a better place for his absence from it.

It might also be the result of provocation by someone open carrying around an assault rifle in public, after traveling from out of state in order to specifically do that.

And newspapers own the copyright on everything they print, even falsehoods.

>Most people I know have employer-sponsored health insurance and have no idea what it actually costs.

>Yes, I'm aware that there'd still be cost for universal insurance coverage in the form of taxes-- that's not all lost income

Seems like the right way to approach this would be to promise to tax it on the employer side, replacing whatever premiums they had paid before? That way everyone's happy. The workers don't see any increased premiums, and companies pay equal or less taxes (assuming it actually works out cheaper, but that's another debate).
The other half of the Taproot update besides Schnorr signatures is support for MASTs: Merklized Abstract Syntax Trees. This allows you to create scripts (smart contracts) where only the used part of the script needs to be revealed when the funds are transferred. Other parts which were not used—for example, the clauses related to recovering funds in the event of a non-cooperating peer in a Lightning channel when the channel is closed normally—need not be included in the transaction, which both improves privacy and reduces the transaction size (and thus also the fees).
And squirrels too, I would imagine.

That tendency is usually exaggerated. At LH2 temperature and atmospheric pressure, it is not a problem. You get such troubles storing H2 at high pressure and temperature.
Philosophically, isn't it wrong to process billions of events in real time? I mean, the magnitude of the moral hazard is astounding. The alternative isn't to stop sending messages, but rather to not put them through a bottleneck like Twitter. This would have the dual benefit of a) not giving central control over messages and b) not requiring exotic solutions.

I fear that technologists (including myself) are fascinated by the exotic solutions required by extreme centralization, and are more than happy to solve those rather than question the need for them in the first place.

Dems are screwed no matter what. If the progressive stick it to the center then nothing gets passed and 2022 roles around and republicans trounce them with empty promises.

The Dems need something to pass now so that there is 3 years of progress.

We need steady incremental progress.
What software will they use to, for instance, train large deep learning models? Nvidia has CUDA, AMD has what? Are they writing new software from scratch? Maybe they have a lot of frameworks to solve problems in the “traditional” HPC space (eg weather forecasts), but in the ML space I only heard of ROCm which seems to be poorly supported.

AMD seems such an odd choice for “AI supercomputers”.

I am not sure why you thought that is key. I thought Alaska breaking away from the US as a newly independent country fed up with the lower 48 stripmining it and giving nothing back is the most plausible part of that scenario.

I listen to Radio Paradise or Groove Salad, mostly on low volume, usually on a speaker across the room from me (in my own office).

Just low enough to burble audibly and tune in if there's a song I want to pay attention to, and quiet enough to provide whatever white noise my brain requires for flow state stuff.

I've tried all the other things... and I don't really use albums or playlists because there's always something to contend with and invite the process of making choices. For me, it's best to either go "eclectic rock is working", and if it's not then "let's hear something more electronic".

Not having to think harder about it works well for me.
I'd say its much more inefficient as you'd think.

Firstly the computations on encrypted data just take a LOT longer, especially for Fully Homomorphic encryption. With a single 64 bit addition taking microseconds.

Secondly, the FHE code cannot branch based on data. If it could, it would know something about the data, and it wouldn't be proper encryption. This means an if statement becomes "calculate both branches, and throw away the result you don't need". Similarly, a for loop becomes "give me an upper bound of how long this will run", then "loop for exactly the upper bound number of times, if the loop is 'done' early, just throw away the result of the remaining operations".

FHE is really cool, and has its uses in situations where you want to cooperate without needing to trust, but it is stupidly inefficient. (Things get really cool if two parties want to cooperate and the computing party can e.g. branch based on their local unencrypted data)
"Do you mean actual (legal) tax evasion, or tax fairness?"

> One last thing: if I may suggest, you should replace the default picture by one with fewer characters: the german β, the spanish Ñ, and the scandinavian character (oslash, ae) may be nice to have, but they may play against you: French users may see them as irrelevant, and cluttering the keyboard.

This is a very good suggestion! I should definitely show a simplified screenshot, and only introduce the extra characters in an advanced section. This should make it look less overwhelming.

> For similar reasons, you may want to unify the blue and the red overlays. I've figured out that the right Alt did toggle the blue overlay, but I still don't understand how to get the red one.

For other readers, you're referring to https://qwerty-fr.org/. Blue means that it's accessible with AltGr, and red means that the key is a dead key.

In a nutshell:

– Lower left corner: no modifier.

– Upper left corner: Shift.

– Lower right corner: AltGr.

– Upper right corner: AltGr + Shift.

I agree that this is confusing, especially since the keyboard widget doesn't highlight the layer when you press e.g. AltGr + Shift so it's hard to know what's going to happen.
I disliked it initially. After 5-6 years of using Go as my primary language I’ve come to appreciate it. It is clearer than having to figure out what is returned. And if an error can be returned. It’s easier when it is right there in the function signature.
