I'm all for being cynical about the devotion of employers to their employees, but I think it's reasonable to expect a good chunk of their savings on health care costs will be shifted to other kinds of compensation. Of course, the employer will try to spend as little as possible on their employees conditional on being able to hire the workers they need. But they won't be able to hire the workers they need if they are out of line with the market in compensation. Part of that calculus in today's world is that employees expect their employers to provide them with good health insurance. If the employee is instead paying for that health insurance through their taxes, they will expect to be paid more. This will only work for the employees who have some power to bargain with their employers, i.e. workers whose skills are in demand. But then, the same goes for healthcare in the current situation.
What are the risks for the homeowner? The wording seems too good to be true.

It seems like it would be better for me to just sell you the land for $640k, then you take on the risk of developing and selling it, but if that was how much the land is now worth, it might still be better for me to hold on to it and let it appreciate for a while without neighbors spitting distance from my back porch.

It's not clear if you consider the people willing to pay $N million for houses in various parts of the state "people willing to produce value" or "people ready to consume it". Perhaps you could enlighten us?
Most european countries have fewer poor people by percentage than the USA. Single payer "works" in europe in the sense that you still end up having to pay out of pocket if you want not-crap (private) care.
To clarify: The CO2 measure is in the FAQ is based only on the amount of data transferred over the internet and Kagi wins here because we have the smallest payload. It does not include energy used to generate it, but Google claims it is carbon neutral since 2008 I think? and Bing is on its way to do so.
In most countries that have public care you can still do this, just like opting for private schools. Britain people buy private insurance for any additional services they want. But I don't think they usually get a tax incentives like private school does can in the US?

Great Q! For a sb9 lot split, the homeowner legally must intend to stay in place on one of the lots for 3 years—we haven't seen a measurable price hike for SB9 eligible lots. We've built a lot of ADUs and they rent about 40% above market, so combined with our better pricing and more efficient & automated processes, we'll definitely create more value for the homeowners than if they did it on their own. If they do elect to do it on their own—it's a full time job—they'd have to price in that labor in a cost-benefit analysis.
"Easy" mode is not easy for me. The whole point of vi (and so, vim) is to be a modal editor.

It is indeed a very common mistake in Python, and can be very hard to debug. It bit me once and wasted a whole day for me, so I've been finding/fixing them ever since trying to save others the same pain I went through.

EDIT: I will point out that I've found this error in other non-Python code too, such as c++ (see the 2nd PR for example).

Here's the regex for anyone curious:

[([{]\s*\n?(\s*['"](\w)+['"],\n)+(\s*['"]\w+['"]\n)(\s*['"]\w+['"],\n)*
Sorry it came across that way, that was not my intention. It is an observation on the form of the comment and how the same sentiment can be seen in different groups.

For what is worth I agree with your observation on history.
Even better, on average it will be net zero. Since some high earners skew the average considerably, it will be net positive for a significant majority of taxpayers.
mypy is a great project and I agree that basically every project at scale should use it. However, I think you're wrong about the strength of the Python type system and what a good type system can "get" you. I think mypy both does an amazing job at static checking and that more powerful type systems go far beyond static checks and into changing how you structure and write code. The newly introduced "structural pattern matching" they just introduced[1] is an example of the kind of feature that could be usefully expanded by making type a first-class part of the Python runtime.

Again - the dynamism of Python means teams can write amazing extensions to Python (like mypy), but that isn't a replacement for the core team having a plan for how they think typing information should be used at runtime. Their current answer seems to be "nothing," which disappoints me.

There is no explicit protection for recursive locking. In practice, write locks will deadlock, and read lock under read lock will be fine.

However, the API encourages practices that make it very hard to recursively acquire the lock (Synchronized is about access to objects, not critical sections).

Yes, but in the subsequent podcast with Joe Rogan and Robert Malone, Dr. Malone specifically says that Dr. McCullough asked that he let everyone know that he was basing his information on pre omicron variant and that reinfections are actually much more common with this variant.
Did you get your entire understanding of economics from an Ayn Rand novel? The idea that there are givers and takers is a nonsense understanding. Even billionaires provide a little value, though not much. I also don't see how the people providing the bulk of value, mostly in retail/service, could afford to leave with billionaires taking all the remuneration from the labor of others.

Your analysis is complete bunk.
Hmmm, seemed like the author was looking more at [the labyrinthine signup and setup for cloud services] vs [download .exe and run].

I'm happy to pay for good software, and Bvckup2 does an excellent job of backups for me. It's easy to point it to an empty directory tree and have it replicate the entire volume rapidly, or point it to a previous backup and update only the diffs. Fancier backup systems are of course available, but I prefer lightweight and straight copies, not extra compression or other formats. If you have something better, please let me know (definitely more helpful than merely complaining about features you don't like).

That they're already seriously regretting doing now that the promises of the remote economy are starting to be truly realized and the pandemic shows no end in sight.

Dropbox works well for small files that you need to share with others. However, if you use it to back up large amounts of data ... say >100GB, the experience of using it is very poor. It consumes large amounts of CPU continually. It takes forever to run to completion (literally in some cases, in my case it ran for weeks before I gave up on it). An external hard drive is of comparable cost to Dropbox, and a one-time cost, not something you need to pay for, forever. It runs to completion in 20 minutes. You can keep multiple versions of it in different physical locations. It's conceptually simple with fewer points of failure.

Personally I tried using several different cloud backup solutions, but I gave up on them. A few encrypted external hard drives, updated every month or two in a repeatable way (e.g. a bash script), one at home, one at work ... and backup is a solved problem. Of course, to each their own.

The contributions of a senior ruby engineer in a large, complex rails codebase will be immediate and will have a long tail over someone that has no experience in rails or ruby. This seems self-evident to me. It's just that there aren't enough of them.

I recently closed a 20-something year mystery to do with a weird TV advert from the UK in the late 90s. I could never figure out why a certain poster for a musician was on the wall in a room. Fast forward to 2021 and I managed to hunt down the writer of the advert who had some background info, and then put me in touch with the director and we figured it out and had a laugh about it. And I contacted the musician who was very happy to also have the mystery closed. It's nice to check off a 20-year-old item on your TO DO list.
Me and my Wife are already fed up with the high taxes here in CA currently and we get pretty much nothing for them. We are already planning on leaving CA for good as it makes zero financial sense given we can both work anywhere we want.

This potential tax hike would probably be the proverbial "nail in the coffin" to the state of CA. Just for us we would see our taxes go up the equivelent of doubling our mortgage payment, that is complete insanity and I would expect 80%-90% of all the high earners to flee the state causing its finances to drop off a cliff.
so many metrics for "good healthcare" and "bad healthcare", so a little expansion might be wise.

* availability of a wide set of health procedures
* median time to delivery of a given health procedure
* outcomes from specific medical conditions
* expected longevity, measured at various points at or after birth
* cost of a given health procedure
* median proximity to health care facilities
* percentage of population without access to a given level of care
* ...

The USA does well on some metrics and badly on others. The one metric which is totally unambigous is the absurd cost we pay both in aggregate and for specific medical procedures, along with the lack of access to healthcare among the population.
We disagree! Most people do not have access to the equity underneath their feet—they do not have the income to utilize it as cash, and so it amounts to golden handcuffs. We enable middle and lower income homeowners to access it without moving—a huge plus for communities.

It's polite to mark any substantive edits you make after posting. When I replied - your entire comment was just "Where did I say science?".
This sounds like a fun experiment. I wonder if anyone has already done something like what you describe.

Would be nice for the output to be a kind of collage of abstracts. Maybe convert them to audio using one of these magic AI voice synthesis things and spatially position them in a virtual lecture hall - walk past a door, hear the abstract, walk inside to get the full paper.

Damn, this is gonna increase housing prices in Texas. Need to buy a house there quick, before all the Bernie brothers realize that US governments have no capability to execute. (You'd think they would have learned seeing the performance of the CDC with Covid, the State Dept. with Afghanistan, the Military with every campaign since WW2, NASA with the Space Shuttle and ISS, CA govt with unemployment and parental benefits over Covid, CA public schools, SF and LA local governments on nearly every metric.

Like these are failed institutions kept alive my the infinite tax payer money faucet. Turned this socialist into a capitalist in just 25 years. Government is absolutely hopeless on execution, but great on selling the vision to people with no experience in execution ... e.g. me at 25.
In theory, single payer should offer more choices. With private insurance, you are stuck with certain doctors and hospitals, and can only change plans at years-end.
That is once again absurd and amounts to a denial of service attack. Reviewing documents for public disclosure, removing PII, etc. is a totally different process from reviewing their accuracy for medical purposes. It takes at least as long, probably longer.

tl;dr: I love Sneakers, and I love Hackers, and I love The Matrix, for entirely different reasons, and I don't think your criticism is warranted.

I hear what you're saying, but I'm a completely uncool nerdy software engineer, and I *ADORE the Hackers and Matrix aesthetics.

Both are not set in the real world, remember. Hackers is a semi-idealized Generation X view of disruption and techno (technology AND music)-fueled youthful exuberance.

And the hackers in the Matrix were hackers that saw through the Matrix, and literally hacked their reality to know kung fu, gunplay, and change the world around them.

When done right (and Swordfish is a good example of when it isn't), it can be a hyper-stylized love letter to the concepts. Not all cinema needs to be "realistic" and "grounded".
What a great commercial, thanks for sharing.
I don't recall what book I was reading that suggested than a civilization based on ecological awareness should be built around watersheds.

Maybe half the borders in the world are ridge lines (a natural watershed boundary), while the rest are bodies of water. That means that the consequences of what goes into that water are split between me and perhaps 20 other states/nations. That sort of cross-border negotiation has a lot more friction involved with it.

The watershed society would have jurisdictions nested around streams, tributaries, and rivers. I think if you sited your seats of power where your watershed meets the next higher jurisdiction, we probably would have a lot fewer industries running effluent pipes directly into our rivers, because the stuff the mayor is letting into their stream is running past the governor's house on its way to the president's.
Does that mitigate the statement?
> M1 is ARM. AWS Graviton is ARM

Graviton 2 has an absolutely huge number of cores (64), but lacks the memory bandwidth to keep them all fed at once.

>the L3 cache of the Graviton2 was shared amongst all its cores, and we also discovered how only 8-16 cores were able to saturate the memory controllers of the system.

Scaling linearly across cores might be easy for some workloads, but for anything that even remotely has some kind of memory pressure should see greater slowdowns given that all the threads are competing for the shared L3 and DRAM resources.

There's more going on than "ARM is ARM".

I suppose you are joking.

NHS in the UK has 6M folks on waiting lists for things like cataract surgery, knee replacements etc. The wait time is in range of 18 weeks for many and for 300K+ > 52 weeks.

Private providers in the US will see you MUCH more quickly than one year (!!).

Some place like Europe are not really single systems. They do work well though in a lot of ways.

They will have statutory mandated and the private coverage. Even the mandated coverage will be delivered by 100-200 nonprofit funds. "Government has virtually no role in the direct delivery of health care."

So these systems work by a) requiring that everyone be covered and b) staying out of the way of the actual service. Interestingly in germany patient representatives have no vote on the main body handling this (insurance companies and physicians do).
I love this honest and straight model of purchase regarding a 7-day trial and one time purchase with 12 months updates, while letting the user keep whatever they have or upgrade only if they want to.
