> 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?

IDK why this couldn't simply be a part of regular income tax and perhaps a bump in the capital gains taxes.

When you think about it, it's a bit silly that employees earning 2 or 3x the salaries of other employees are paying the same for healthcare.

This would also have to happen because not all employers offer healthcare (small businesses or contracting), yet everyone would still (presumably) get healthcare.

In any event, I'd honestly happily pay a bit more in taxes for the more progressive healthcare plans. No deductible and vision/dental? Impossible to break the bank for cancer? No coverage gaps between employment? I could start my own business and not worry about health coverage?

Universal healthcare is a terrific idea that most other nations have. It's not bank breaking and there's no country I know of that's decided to ditch it after implementing it.
There is a happy medium.

Wireless headphones with a short wire hanging down to use as an antenna. Now send audio using 900MHz analog FM radio.

The signal quality can be made quite high by using enough power and/or bandwidth spreading.

That isn't exactly how Ukraine broke away from the USSR. Ukraine broke away by the USSR dissolving.

So if the US dissolves into, say, Alaska and Hawaii and Puerto Rico and the "other 48", and then Alaska votes to rejoin Russia, then the 48 would be unhappy, sure. But they wouldn't have any say, because in this scenario Alaska wouldn't be part of the US any longer. In the same way, Russia has no (legitimate) say, because Ukraine isn't part of the USSR any longer.

It's kind of like how the UK didn't have any say over the US after that 1776 thing, and when they tried to act like they did, it turned into the War of 1812.

It wouldn't even be possible to get everybody in one pod. Even if you cram people in like a Tokyo train, what happens if the station is actually hit and they need to use the pod to escape back to earth? They couldn't safely do that in a single pod.
The Overton Window and Trevino's Range of Acceptance
Yes, as strong as before, if not more. IMO Gates' Law -- the inverse of Moore's law -- doesn't help either. I have plenty of examples, from those pieces of software and appliances I use everyday:

- Power went on and off in our building for several minutes. That obviously turned off my always-on printer and all other devices. Now for some reason the printer won't turn on. All my other devices like my TV, Raspberry Pi and desktop computers plugged 24/7 and still work perfectly after the incident.

- Some appliances like vacuum cleaners and fridges and freezers made recently tend to break faster. And although they consume less watts of power when used, their relatively frequent need to be replaced generates more waste. In comparison, our 30 year old (I'm 28!) fridge is still functioning.

- About mobile devices, I have a Samsung tablet and an old Iphone whose batteries or screens can't be trivially replaced: I replaced the battery of my tablet now for some reason the touchscreen is messed up making it unusable although the display still works ok. A still older Android phone from 2014 won't install updates or most recent software. Not so long ago, Apple had been known to deliberatly slow down old devices, but no longer know to what extent that is still true.

- Car parts. Lots of progress have been made regarding fuel economy but Renault cars IMO could be made more reliable and user-friendly: changing a lighbulb on the Renault Modus requires you to disassemble the bumper [1] ... Changing the battery on a hybrid car... I'd rather not know.

Because in the United States, in absence of law forcing a different arrangement, we can assume that this problem is solved by a capitalist marketplace.

I don't know enough about Michigan state law to comment in detail on this topic. I can only extrapolate from the local situation where I live, where our water is provided by a corporation, that corporation works to minimize its costs to maximize its revenue (within a safety framework established by the state), but the corporation is private. It maintains its own reservoirs, and I don't doubt a price point could be found where, if they were willing to pay, it would sell the water from the city down into neighboring towns, possibly to a level that decreases the odds that can satisfy demand in-city during a drought.

This is the scenario I would anticipate unless there is law to the contrary.

It wasn't an assault rifle, and it is legal for 17 year olds to open carry rifles and shotguns under Wisconsin law.

Open carrying is not provocation, otherwise open carrying itself would be inherently illegal, nor sure what your reasoning is there.

Hi HN,

During the pandemic, two friends and I built Grapic [1], an AR app to let us use real paper and whiteboards to brainstorm when working remote. We're all visual thinkers and found the drawing part really lacking in tools like Miro.

The aim is to make it possible to screen share any real surface. We use AR and some computer vision to let you mark a rectangle on a flat surface (like a whiteboard or paper notebook), and then stream a stabilized and "flattened" version of that surface as video. The video can either be shared as to a webRTC room that you can access with a link or directly into a zoom meeting over Airplay [2].

The app is currently iOS only and we're holding off an Android version until we know there is sufficient demand.

We would be super thankful for any feedback or advice!

Best

Niko

THANK YOU. For showing how simple the process of making chocolate is. From most manufacture sites they make it seem so complicated.

Related - You could even skip the fermentation and roasting parts by simply buying pre fermented and roasted pods. Simply crush the beans, add your favorite milk and add sugar per taste. And voila! you can have the best chocolate you ever had.

Just keep in mind that the story is weapons-grade satire for a world that doesn't really exist any more, and even though it is still extremely relevant and eye-opening it was written for a different time.

Computers really are not doing much more today than they were in the early 2000s. Despite the massive increases in home computational power, the only thing that is really visibly improved is the graphical fidelity of video games. All other software is doing the same stuff it did 20 years ago...just worse.

Bad software is more due to needing to ship stuff ASAP for marketing, the board of directors, and for the investors. This decline in software can really be matched up with the increase of startup culture.

I would also argue that complexity is developers own doing, trying to strap every new fangled library, engine, tool, API ,buzzword of the day, etc. to their program...when there is zero reason to. Nothing about what modern software does is more complex than it was in the 2000s
I'm pretty surprised that Twitter is moving their homegrown stack to GCP. Twitter has a storied big data platform (Storm, Summingbird, Lambda Platform, Manhattan), and they have completely moved to the cloud. I wonder how the finances worked out; I'm sure Twitter paid a lot for their bespoke platform and Google must've been competitive. It was probably also easier as I imagine a lot of the engineers who considered those projects their children may have already moved on.
If you want to turn your internet off, be my guest.

A more comprehensive solution (imo) is required at the educational system level: we're kind of okay-ish at getting people to memorize things and take tests, but when actual critical thinking is required (particularly when distinguishing fact from fiction), we collectively fall short again and again and again. Few are interested in trying to understand complex problems beyond blaming the nearest boogeyman (vaccines, 5g, bill gates, masks, democrats, whatever) and it's a serious problem.
I ordered an M1 Max the day after it was announced. It's supposed to arrive today. The route it took to get to Portland, Oregon, was Shanghai to Zhenzhou (where it spent a week), on to South Korea, then Anchorage, then a weekend in Louisville, Kentucky. How this makes any sense in terms of efficiency is totally beyond me.

As a side note, I'm mildly paranoid about new Apple devices spending a week held up in Chinese customs. Is the CCP throttling exports, or installing backdoors?

Ah, that was my style 7+ years ago. Then I started regularly contributing to an open source project which did not add curly braces on one-liners. I wanted to match the style of the project despite it feeling unnatural to me. Within a few weeks, my style was changed forever (for better or for worse).

Yes. p2p systems would be the alternative and would, as a whole, process billions of messages but in a distributed way where each node only processes ~100.

I'm further suggesting there there is a relationship between scale and ethics, via moral hazard, that is worth exploring. Too bad I'm getting downvoted instead of engaged with.

Grab it with your mouse, drag it off the dock, done.

I guess I’m not really seeing what I’m supposed to be outraged about, here. Modifying the stuff in the dock on OSX isn’t difficult or unintuitive at all? Just grab the stuff you don’t want on there and drag it out, and grab the stuff you do want on there and drag it in? It’s just using the standard desktop metaphor and interface, and you’re in no danger of breaking fragile uninstall scripts like you would be if you manually removed a program’s entry from the start menu on Windows. It really isn’t comparable at all.
The home networking scene is so bad. I had a Time Machine and and Airport Extreme, but it was not capable of PPPoE login to Centurylink's network, and I wanted to get rid of the Zyxel router that Centurylink provided.

I ended up getting a Linksys Velop MX8400C 2 pack from Costco for $230, since that was the lowest price I could find for something that did PPPoE login and could be hardwired together. I wanted the ability to do multiple VLANs via wireless like Meraki, but I could not find anything. Even the Meraki Go stuff does not do it.
It is much easier to parse this by unpacking the word anarchism itself through its root terms 'an' (without) 'arch' (ruler). So anarchism means "without rulers" (not without governance or without coordination). Anarchists strive to organize small group, workplace, community and broader geographic decision making as horizontally as possible so that each individual has equal input - with small groups and workplaces making decisions by Consensus - and with larger groups, companies, or broader regions using Consensus in Spokescouncils.(Spokescouncil Examples: A Spokescouncil was used to successfully coordinate the 1999 anti WTO protests in Seattle, and The Brazilian Landless Workers Movement (MST) uses a spokescouncil structure.)

(NOTE: Consensus works much better when it is 'Modified Consensus' in which, as a last resort, decisions that must be made soon but are contentious and aren't reaching consensus, can be made by a supermajority vote of 2/3rds or higher.)

Here are some resources to examine these basics:

CONSENSUS:

By your logic the state shouldn't pay for school for children either. It does though because it's an investment, the country is better off for having an educated and literate population. I suspect that one day free childcare will be viewed similarly as free education—something that may cost money but is widely accepted as "worth it" for the sake of society. Anyway I always struggle to understand the all-to-frequent hyper-American hyper-individualistic opinions that are often found on this website. Always seem utterly detached from reality and lacking in basic empathy.

Tbh if you really want to be logically coherent then I encourage you to try to defend ending free education for kids.

Agreed! I'm confused by the number of comments that suggest this was a waste of time because other potentially similar implementations exist. There could be a hundred of these and I'd still be interested in looking at them.
I don't think it's clearer personally, but the problem is really that it's not secure. If you forget to check the `err` (or the `nil`) then you might shoot yourself in the foot. As a pentester, most of the bugs I found in Golang codebases would have been avoided with sum types.
What about the magnetic field? I think distance is required between the two sides of the cable to prevent arc, which also means there will be a magnetic field.
I don't think you can logically extrapolate that from the original (now flagged/dead) comment.

Do you really believe that the state should spend literally any amount of money on medical interventions in order to attempt to prolong someone's life, no matter how hopeless the case is or how much suffering it causes? If you do, that's unrealistic and impossible (not to mention IMO often harmful to the patient). If you don't, then it's just a matter of deciding where the line is drawn.

Maybe taxpayers should expect to spend millions of dollars to bring a known-doomed pregnancy to term, and keep an infant alive for a short time, whose quality of life seems to have been mostly negative. I don't think that's a particularly good idea for anyone concerned, but maybe many people do?

Sounds like a truly broken install. What's the maintenance history of the machine? Have you been patching it from third party repos? Why are you running Jack on a work computer anyway?

Back up your documents and do a fresh install. It'll take you an hour and you'll regain stability.

Not an error then, it doesn't make semantic sense.
Won't necessarily work:

if ((err = SSLHashSHA1.update(&hashCtx, &signedParams)) != 0)
{
goto fail;
}
{
goto fail; /* MISTAKE! THIS BLOCK SHOULD NOT BE HERE */
}

Copy and paste bugs can play out in any number of ways.

Newer GCC will catch the goto fail by noting that the indentation is wrong.

$ gcc-11 -Wall gotofail.c
gotofail.c: In function ‘main’:
gotofail.c:5:3: warning: this ‘if’ clause does not guard... [-Wmisleading-indentation]
5 | if (argc > 42)
| ^~
gotofail.c:7:5: note: ...this statement, but the latter is misleadingly indented as if it were guarded by the ‘if’
7 | goto fail;
| ^~~~

$ cat gotofail.c
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
if (argc > 42)
goto fail;
goto fail;

return 0;
fail:
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}

Of course, it could be that the indentation is not wrong. If somneone runs the code through some automatic formatting, the problem will not then be diagnosable that way.

Sadly, if I fix the indentation then:

$ gcc-11 -Wall -Wunreachable-code -O3 gotofail.c
$ # silence

even though the return 0; is not reachable.

Still, I think I'm going to stick with "brace the else part if the then part is braced, and vice versa*.

Agreed. My very first impression of OKRs was to see tham as business level User Stories. You state a desired outcome with enough detail to be clear and then get out of the way to let skilled people solve the problem with a little creative autonomy.

In the same way OKRs can float off into mission statement territory, they can get rendered ineffective in the other direction by being too prescriptive.

My current approach to situations like these are based on “Never Split The Difference” by Chris Voss and “SPIN Selling” by Neil Rackham. For me, I’m trying to identify what the other party _really_ wants, rather than what they _say_ they want.

All too often I’ve taken the other person at their word: “we want to reduce time to approval”, “we want all these features”, “we want to reduce operating expenses”. However, when time came to implement a plan to hit those goals, it turned out those weren’t the actual objectives.

A combination of sales, negotiation, and an attempt to identify the actual underlying need (belonging, recognition, autonomy, etc) has increased the hit rate.

But, at the end of the day, we’re monkeys wearing pants trying to squirt ideas at each other via flapping meat. Let’s just be amazed that communication between people can happen at all :)
