None that I'm aware of. My guess would be that this is because if you do it poorly, it doesn't help a damn thing, and if you do it well, it's just single-payer with extra steps. This is because to do it right you'd effectively have to dictate that ~all providers take the public option insurance, and at that point you may as well do single-payer. Otherwise, there's no reason to expect a public option, as in just another insurer that happens to be government-run, would be able to compete when providers can just refuse to take them unless they raise compensation to roughly match everyone else. At best it would apply only light downward pressure on prices.

There are some systems that have private (though, perhaps, non-profit only) insurance and a public insurer as a kind of public option, as an insurer of last resort, but they place all kinds of restrictions on this, like standardizing basic-coverage plans and dictating that all insurers offer them, mandating that providers all accept these plans (including the government one) and so on, and often still having other price controls on top of it.
the unknown reason was that technology gave Hollywood a big spike of spectacle that TV mini series didnt have the budget/resources to match. (green screen technology, CGI advances, 3D animation) But technology has improved so the gap is less, and the resources being allocated now matches movie production.

I've noticed it's not just 'casual' dating - but also relationships.

Much like when the landline phone and personal automobile increased access to cheating partners..

technology / social media especially - increases access to 'better rung (like a ladder)' sex partners, relationship, social status, money, etc. - all a click / tap away, and likely coming to you via dms/pms..

I'll add that these auto-filters on cameras seem to make a lot of people, (especially girls from what I have seen, anecdotal for sure) - think they are more attractive than they really are.. which increases attention they get via insta/tik/fbk, whatever.. but also gives them false sense of where they could be in the ladder.. which leads them to discount 'average guy is good' -

ads make this worst too many times.

There is much more to add to this - but these things are noticeable in the data as well right? isn't like 80% of women only trying to attract the top 20% of men.

with tech making it easy to have 'a grass is greener here' profile to attract, it's harder to keep a relationship in general than it used to be, even if they don't run away, I think women are less happy / take it out on the average man when they don't have the kardashian/insert reality whatever here, type of life they see others 'living their best life' on reality-social.. I don't mean to say similar affects don't occur with men vs women - I'm just pointing to what I have seen a lot of.

I think this boils down entirely to how comfortable the reader is with the concepts involved. If you have to stop and think for a sec about what "memory_write" actually does, the spelled-out words are a useful prompt and the time it takes to read them is not a bottleneck. But if you're used to thinking at level of abstraction, used to tossing the concepts around in your head like mathematical symbols - then the shorter version is preferable and the longer one feels boggy and pedantic. This is why regex is a thing and why people skilled in APL rave about it so much, and why nobody ever bothers to symlink rm, cp, and mv to remove, copy, and move respectively.

Unicode. Unicode started out as a marvelous improvement. But then, it was infected by dementia. For example, check out this madness:

Unicode looniness has also infected C++23:

If AWS can pull the plugs on paying customer earlier this year due to political reasons, why wouldn't Larry do so to free tiers for business reasons. Those squatters will get evicted easily just like any squatters in America. Since they have very limited means to engage lawyers, every courts in America will hand Larry a hall pass easily. As many have said, you just simply don't invite vampires in no matter how voluptuous and scantily-dressed or muscular Tom-Cruise-handsome.
I also came from Python (15 years of experience) to Go and I think newcomers to Go index too hard on terseness. The for-loop equivalent for a map over a list is more characters, but it's really straightforward and easily recognizable in the code. In the general case, I'm glad that Go doesn't try to explore new PL territory, optimizing instead for things that are known to improve developer productivity. None of this is to say that Go has no room for improvement--only that "terseness" is not high on the list of improvements I'd like to see (for example, I'd rather have sum types with exhaustive pattern matching).

If COVID has proven anything, it's that political messaging is far better than all other types of messaging combined.

Either way, telling people to change their lifestyles falls on deaf ears as a group. People know, for example, that being obese in your 50s and 60s puts you at a great deal of risk, yet most people who are obese at the beginning of their 50s are still obese at the end of their 60s, provided that they are still alive.
Auto translate is good enough though.
So we have (with my subjective and surely biased interpretations of the meaning & "epistemic status/quality"):

1. [Current Approach] determined - "was 'discovered' to be X, regardless if was actually discovered (as opposed to estimated)" - decision made by bureaucrats/experts &/or courts | Invalid: it is not necessarily possible to discover what is true (under the current system)

2a. declared - "was decided to be categorized as X, regardless of actual(!) ultimate truth" - decision made by courts | Valid: acknowledges that the actual truth is not known, but fr pragmatic reasons a decision is made so we can move on (which is what actually happens now, but we do not speak truthfully about the details, which causes anger, which often has complex, outsized systemic consequences)

2b. agreed - "all parties voted to categorize as X, regardless of actual(!) ultimate truth, with or without (optional) formal complaints*" - decision made by party officials | Valid: roughly, same as "declared", but the decision is voluntary by party officials, rather than decided by courts

What do you think of this way of thinking about it?

I find #1 fairly repulsive, but the exact same outcome recorded/discussed as 2a or 2b I find much less problematic.
You might want to consider reading this thread a little more carefully. There's a point you may be missing. :)
Builders aren't a good pattern in Go, because it's difficult to express continuations, and they leave types in incomplete states. It's almost always better to use config structs.

1. Sure, but that's a bit like saying "inline styles solve the naming problem". They don't solve it, they just don't have it.

2. There are ways to structure your CSS so that's a mitigated issue.

3. It's not really a design system. It's a theme.

But is it true that every developer I hire has to understand CSS. But mostly because I think it's an insanely simple thing to learn.
On the other hand, it was verbose, and most of original Pascal ideas were unsound and replaced in Object Pascal with ones coming from C.

"Break loop" being a function rather than keyword is serious PHP land.

It had better OO than C++, though. I admit it, they managed to have a sane and compact statically checked compilable OO.
Another poster mentioned this, bur I think it's worth talking about in more detail, because it's at the heart if exactly what's broken about US health care.

Every US state has laws that prohibit insurance companies from collecting "too much" profit from the premiums they charge their customers. In most states, the limit is given as a percentage of pure profit. So insurers set their premiums based on their expected payout costs plus operating expenses, and usually make premium adjustments on an annual basis.

(That's why most US drivers received a bunch of rebates from our auto insurers, early in the COVID pandemic. The sudden unexpected drop in accident rates drastically reduced the insurers payout costs. They were required by law to return the excess.)

The intended purpose of these laws was to protect consumers from predatory insurance companies. But in modern practice, with basically zero effective cost controls on medicine, it's created a perverse incentive: Rising healthcare costs are the easiest opportunity for health insurers to increase their absolute profits... All they have to do is sit back and let health care providers keep raising their prices.

But:

• the costs are passed only indirectly to the consumers who ultimately pay

• the market for health care is so terribly distorted

• health care demand is highly inelastic

So normal market mechanisms (like price signaling) aren't very effective at containing the rise in costs.

Instead, we all talk about how many pounds we've put on thanks to junk food and Netflix, a lifestyle that has been highly incentivised by various restrictions.
Even if you have the list, there's not necessarily any way to be sure in advance which price(s) you'll end up paying. The whole system is built around an incomprehensible fog of "discounts" and idiosyncratic distinctions among similar procedures.
As did Google when Google engineers started leaving for Facebook, and FB when their engineers started leaving for Uber/Lyft/AirBnB/Stripe/Coinbase/etc, and so on. It's pretty much a revolving door now, where many engineers have worked at all these companies and sometimes even come back to their home base.

CA's prohibition against non-competes and the DoJ's lawsuit against anti-poaching agreements is basically what makes Silicon Valley work.
Shaka Laka Boom Boom Drawing to Reality
Colleges are the exact same - once it becomes standard for an intermediary to handle the bill, the costs skyrocket. From the government giving anybody who goes to college a loan, means that colleges can charge insane fees despite no change, and hospitals charge insane fees because it is standard to gouge insurance.
Sure, but second point is that it's dumb to assume "smart" or "connected" cars are more green. If they are being obsoleted much faster than "dumb" cars, then whether or not they are electric makes little difference in the grand scheme of things.
Part of the problem is the loss of mutual insurance which makes executives accountable to their members and forces profit sharing.
Why do you think the dimensions are in powers of two?
Because everything is integrated, and like I said you are not paying for the cost of disposing it. If electronics are getting to the point that they are as disposable as a plastic bottle, perhaps we should start treating them as such.

In Germany, every recyclable (plastic/glass/aluminum) container has a surcharge of a few cents, which you get back by returning them to any supermarket. Imagine if we made something similar for consumer electronics. A tax on electronics products, it being higher in correlation with the level of integration, the difficulty to repair. Your chromebook would be taxed at 100% if sold as a whole package, but if Google decided to produce modules that are independently sold, the tax would drop.

Suddenly the whole equation changes for everyone. Manufacturers will have the incentive to produce less integrated products and consumers will have more choice to upgrade/replace only parts of their equipment. Your first-time cost is "higher", but onward you realize that you can upgrade the every three years and the board for $20, the screen last 5 years and costs $40, the battery is $15, etc.
Mediocre programmers can still write bad Go code. Their code is neither safe or readable.
Plenoxels
I don't think anyone is complaining about the option of 2FA on logins that are important. What people are complaining about is the requirement of 2FA which only supports email, text, or call. All of those options take significantly more time and distraction than my normal 2FA processes (TOTP or WebAuthn). Furthermore all of those options add next to no security because all you have to do is get physical access to someone's phone (not unlocked, just access to the lock screen!) to receive the codes. And even if that's not possible you can just bribe or SE a $telco employee.

Dynamic storage allocation (DSA) from the fragmentation perspective.

DSA is as important for programming as control flow statements. Yet we keep ignoring the fact that it is not understood--see Wilson et al's "DSA: A Survey and Critical Review" for one of the best problem statements of all time.

Fragmentation is DSA's (and every Tetris player's) main enemy. Believe it or not, we haven't managed to converge on how to measure it yet.

I am working on a tool that a) computes an approximately optimal fragmentation value per application and b) also computes fragmentation for arbitrary app/allocator pairs.

While you make sensible points, in the case of GPT-3, not everyone will be willing to route their data through OpenAI's servers.

> Just use DistilBERT uncased/cased (which is fast enough to run on consumer CPUs)

This can still be impractical, at least in my case of regularly needing to process hundreds of pages of text. Simpler systems can be much faster for an acceptable loss and you can get more robustness by working with label distributions instead of just picking argmax.

Fast simpler classifiers can also help decide where the more resource intensive models should focus attention.

Another reason for preprocessing is rule systems. Even if not glamorous to talk about, they still see heavy use in practical settings. While dependency parses are hard to make use of, shallow parses (chunking) and parts of speech data can be usefully fed into rule systems.
I don't think it's "Luddite sentiment" to ask why one computer feels as productive with the same perceived performance as one that's literally a billion times faster.

I believe the sibling saying that it's programmer productivity is correct. That same programmer can and does now spend a week whipping together a program in Python that took a year under the older constraints. And users expect more out of them, with whizz-bang animations and app-store integration.

But if that same programmer _did_ spend the year instead of the week, what could they do? The quality and performance would probably be a lot better. Unless they depend on externalities that don't also scale up their quality game, like basically anything involving the web.
I enjoy diving into POV-Ray these days. It's a fun way to get away from GUI-driven work I might do in other 3D software.

One cool thing about the experience of using POV is that you can scroll in one dimension and see the entire organization of elements that will become a sensory window into the imagination. If you can learn the syntax and options, you can effectively break down what would otherwise be many different sets of interfaces and gain an enhanced feeling of accessibility.

If you combine this with an appreciation for abstraction-focused scene modeling, you can reach this point of really amazing emotion where you realize you can create or model _anything_ with the provided tools, as long as you can embrace the need for abstraction as its own sort of user-mindset technology.

The closest analog that comes to mind outside of 3D would be MacPaint, MS Paint, Grafx2...if you've ever seen someone seriously plan their home garden or design a home theater in one of those apps, and then build the damn thing in real life, you may know what I'm talking about.

Outside of that...maybe something like watching a concept designer use a bic crystal pen to sketch out an entire world on newsprint.

With POV-Ray I find myself honing in on something like an intuitive feel for how much abstraction to employ to simply and effectively depict what I want to depict, given any time constraints. It's really cool to reach that point no matter the tool. I'm sure a lot of people feel similar feelings about their favorite programming tools as well.
Bingo, see my post elsewhere in this thread :-)

I'm no expert but have been reading about this for a couple decades now, and the consistent element in every non-US system in developed countries, despite a vast variety of approaches, is indeed price controls, either explicit or de facto. I'm highly skeptical of any reform attempt in the US that doesn't have that as a central element, due to, you know, gestures at the rest of the world.
This is a minor quibble, but this sentence:

>Scripps’ automated system took the actual cost of sutures, imposed an apparently preset 675% markup and produced a billed amount that was orders of magnitude higher than the true price.

was jolting for me as a reader -- going from $19.30 to $149.58 is an increase of around one order of magnitude rather than many.
The ACA did not impose those caps, in the first place. It merely standardized them.

State insurance laws have mandated the same kind of caps for decades... I believe they date back to around WWII, but I don't know for certain.

The author mentions GEOS among those efforts that, and I quote:

I must be honest and say the statement feels a bit puzzling, since C64OS certainly wasn't something the C64 was designed for...

Agree to disagree. PPP was meant to keep business afloat and people employed, in a nearly unprecedented situation - when it seemed likely that a major disruption was afoot.

Bitcoin is a sort of mathematical exercise coupled with an almost philosophical question, "What would happen if we had a currency that was de-coupled from government and free of direct influence from geo-political power?"
I also had fun for the long csv lines by making a temp readtable that set comma as whitespace and then just read the numbers in.
The thing though is you can build higher-level abstractions on top of the base language (and Rust’s type system helps keep these abstractions from getting shaky). Macros also help a lot with eliminating ceremony, as demonstrated really well by Rocket.

I agree it’s stretching for a wide swath of cases, and it will be interesting to see how much of that space it ends up becoming popular for, but I’m not sure I’d call it “unrealistic”. Part of the problem right now - especially in the web space - isn’t the language but a lack of time investment in the ecosystem. Rocket is the most promising web framework Rust has, and its current release has been in RC for 6 months (!). I really hope it gets corporate backing at some point.

That’s right. But the employer-dependent health insurance arrangement in the U.S. was implemented as an alternative to the various political dynamics that regulate most countries’ healthcare systems and it has successfully done so.

The problem, in other words, is that a truly free-market healthcare system would be politically infeasible in a major first-world nation. So instead of a public healthcare system that would provide minimal healthcare services to all citizens, they tied it to employment, effectively moving it from the consumer market to the labor market. So this arrangement, like most neoliberal policies including Obamacare, has served merely to buy more time for the ruling class. And worst of all it has worked.
untypically nice comment
Food produces nourishment over time... it's not an asset.
Do you expect other people to add your project as a dependency of their projects, and call into your API? Then it's a library.

If the only expected users of your API is your own project, it's an application.

And yes, if you need to build native extensions, setuptools is still your only real option. It's not great, and results in hundreds of packages that all find their own definition of insanity. But given just how crazy the C/C++ toolchain ecosystem is, especially when you have to deal with Windows, macOS, and the diversity of Linux, no one else has been will to tackle that problem because setuptools already exists.
