I grew up in a smallish town where this happens frequently. So many people never leave the state let alone the country

So, you're extrapolating your personal experiences and applying them to everyone on the planet.

Many of my family members met their spouses in their home town. They hardly ever leave that town. They might fly to another country for vacation once a decade, but otherwise find complete fulfillment in the place where they live. Several have never even bothered to get a drivers' license, because they never found the need to have one.

By your standard, that makes them unsophisticated. But they're probably not. They live in New York City.
So much that you write is blatantly false, or stretch to the point of being as good as false.

But you seem well read, so I don't think there is a point in trying to convince you.

It's also interesting coming from someone researching Inductive Logic Programming that provides no results at all.

From my perspective, I don't care for theoretical advances. I care about results and if scale provides results, I'm happy.

For people who are just reading this exchange take a look here:

There is a lot of stuff on the web, but not everything.
That extra value of the lot isn't exactly liquid on its own. That's what you get in exchange for 20%.
It is a bad thing. Why would anyone trust Pfizer at this point?

https://violationtracker.goodjobsfirst.org/parent/pfizer

These dudes literally bake "billions in fines" into their operating model, and who cares when their latest and greatest customer puts a gun to everyone's head and says "take pfizer product or lose your livelihood". Billions in fines mean nothing when the federal government guarantees you 15x that in revenue a year.
Families with kids w/ under 200k combined income pay > 10% of their income in health insurance. Premiums for a decent plan with 2 adults + 1 kid is $20k a year.
These same voters that kept Newsom from being recalled?! Good luck, Californians. I'm sure they'll spend this money wisely!!!!

Who knows what's next. Perhaps this will help the bullet train reach Fresno, Merced, or maybe Modesto. By 2050. Maybe.
Tabula rasa doesn’t work here. What has happened is what almost always happens. A status quo quickly emerges. Usually because of previous status quos. In this case opensea dominates. Some semblance of mostly centralization and a few encumbers was always going to happen. It’s not important that it’s opensea. What is relevant is this sort of power dynamic and status quo was bound to happen. It almost always happens.

You brought up that if others say it’s the real world reinvented they are missing some crucial predictive elements.

The real world’s status quo and power dynamics are what are at play here. That doesn’t get reinvented. That continues on.
To show my point with an example, according to him, 10 devs keeping the lights on has a better AAR than 15 devs that are keeping the lights on and adding new value. But the former is not more efficient than the latter.
Is California nice and has nice things?
That is only for a few proprietary bits (Android App Support, Predictive text input, MS Exchange support). Now, those features are very useful, but most of the OS is open source and the open source version is usable (without those features).

They also don't stop people from outside of those countries from ordering it.
The author has other projects: https://www.samlearner.com/

One is Pittsburgh Steps, where I read "There are more than 800 sets of public outdoor stairways in Pittsburgh, more than any other city in the United States."

https://pittsburgh-steps.samlearner.com/

I was surprised it had more than San Francisco. This says San Francisco has 700. It's by "sets of steps". I wonder if SF has more average steps per set of steps resulting in more total steps. Even if not, I think it must have more easily accessible by public transportation, as there are many in other bay area cities including Berkeley. https://socalstairclimbers.com/tag/berkeley-stair-walking/
I can't find any reference to M1 Macs on Syncthing or Sincthing-macos. Any idea if both are compatible?

Indeed. Lack of food is, historically, the fastest way to revolution and war.
I live in CA and according to my W2 box 12 DD, my cost is much more than this. Sure, maybe under this tax proposal my personal expense would go up but judging by my W2 and a quick scan of ACA estimated costs for a 22yo, the aggregate cost of this is much lower than what we're collectively paying today.

E cores are only present on the high-end Alder Lake SKUs. If you have a mid-range chip with only P cores like the i5-12400, enabling AVX-512 really is free.

Such P-core-only chips are attractive to Linux users. Intel Thread Director, their Alder Lake schedule software, does not work as well on Linux as it does on Windows. It has a tendency to schedule processes on the E cores even when P cores are available, which is bad for performance.

There is significant overlap between users interested in AVX-512 and users interested in Linux performance, making the mid-range Alder Lake chips especially appealing to this group. Unfortunately they top out at 6 cores with no ECC, so it's not a perfect match.
Indeed. To be even more ridiculous: Being too cold kills people, therefore we should set ourselves on fire so we live forever.

If someone wants to argue "more CO2 is good for plants", they really need to provide a number for what atmospheric concentration they think is optimal, and what the costs/benefits of reaching it are. Would increasing the concentration by 10% make food 10% cheaper, for example? What sort of effects on the Earth's climate are historically associated with CO2 levels that high?
Definitely! Obviously it does increase the complexity of the project for others, knowing that you need a donor system from which to desolder key components. But it's great to end up with a product that's the real system running real cartridges and not a Linux computer running emulation.

That said, it's cool that projects like MiSTer exist, and I could imagine that that might be a nice middle-ground for some people— being closer to the real hardware than purely software emulation, but also something that can also be built from scratch with new, off-the-shelf components.
Sure, I guess my point is that all else is never equal.
It works in the sense that I go to a private clinic when I have an issue. Likewise with the great public school system, where families pay 30k per year so they can avoid a public school

> So? Darling is 9 years into its[1] development and hasn't really reached the maturity that Wine had after 7 years of development.

In 1993 wine had a much smaller target though, windows was in its infancy. Darling started in 2012, over a decade after mac-OSX, which even at that point was an established OS brand.
I mean, I will move too, because OP will pay for mine.
It goes beyond deductions too. Though maybe you're referring to total costs of premiums or company pays costs that probably come out of your comp.

I was shocked to learn how much my parent's insurance costs.

Even though ostensibly employed by a huge multi-national, my dad technically operates as his own S-corp so they have to buy on the market. That seems to be a trend in the gig economy which is worse for low 'wage' earners.

I also am on private market as I own my business. Mine is $500 a month at 32 and healthy. Theirs is 2k ish and increases significantly each year (65 and 62). That is really hard for almost all older Americans to afford. By the time they are 75 or even older the cost would be insane if this continues.

I agree that messaging is what's holding back reform. The messaging is so easy to short circuit. Just look at the headline of this post. No one wants their taxes to double.
I never really got why Hackers was always lumped in with Wargames and Sneakers. The vibe of Hackers always seemed way different, with all the "cool dudes wearing sunglasses" and skateboards and flamboyant outfits and EDM music. I mean I like the movie, but it was less of a realistic "computer hacking" movie and more of a "too-cool people partying" movie, much more like Swordfish.
Another thing that people are missing is that a net zero change, or even a small loss would be worth it in terms of freedom. You're no longer compelled to stay at your current job just to keep your healthcare, and if you lose your job then you only have one problem rather than two -- especially in the middle of a pandemic, when lots of people are getting laid off and needing to go to the hospital due to covid
This is my thought, as well. When your private insurance company stinks, you find a new insurer. When you're forced to pay the government for health insurance, you're stuck without options. Health insurance isn't one of the services that I trust the government to be able to run well. They don't have a particularly great track record where efficiency, customer service, and speed are concerned.
FYI this is called "Body Doubling" in the ADHD world, and there are services offering this.
Deceptive title, kind of designed for clickbait

The first sentence:
>>A proposed constitutional amendment (ACA 11) in California would increase taxes by $12,250 per household, roughly doubling the state’s already high tax collections, to fund a first-in-the-nation single-payer health-care system.

It completely omits that this move would simultaneously remove every resident's healthcare & insurance costs.

Pretty obvious bad-faith writing, and it is disappointing to see it echoed on HN.

Edit:
I'm happy to read about and discuss the merits and problems of such a proposal, but this kind of title is just irritating - it's what I try to come here to avoid.
So the FDA has 16,000 employees, 10 of which work in the FOIA office. That is the level of commitment to openness by a vital government agency.
I thought you were talking about that bitcoin game everyone keeps playing.
There's a lot of contextless scaremongering in the article. Here's one example.

> For instance, the payroll tax exempts employers with fewer than 50 resident employees, punishing small businesses for expanding and creating a meaningful tax cliff. Imagine, for instance, the overly simplified hypothetical of a company with 49 employees making $80,000 each. At 49 employees, the company has no payroll tax burden. Hiring one additional employee generates a tax bill of $90,000—more than that employee’s salary!

Wow! NINETY K, MAN! That's a lot of money, says Joe Q Public.

Except....revenue per employee is ~$100k for small businesses, with larger companies being $200k or more.

At 49 employees, your business has likely $4.9M in revenue or more.

That means that additional big scary $80k represents 1.6% of your revenue.

Yawn.
Probably he or she conflates progressivism with inefficient, yet authorian marxist rule like in sowjet russia - and corporatism with efficient no-marxist but corporate authorian rule.
Again, when I say "all else being equal" that is the explicit assumption that the circumstances in the future are essentially the same (ie equal) as they are now. We are assuming all else is equal because we are given no reason to believe otherwise. If something were, for example, a once in a lifetime opportunity, we'd refer to it as the once in a lifetime option, not as the less expensive option. The fact that we are talking about this decision in terms of price implies these are normal, purchasable commodities whose relative prices are reasonably stable, and that monetary expense is a significant concern.

Of course there are situations where you can't or wouldn't want to buy the same thing at a later point in time, but in general you can. Starting with the assumption that you purchased both a $10 and a $100 ticket to two different events because you wish to experience both and further assuming that you can still experience both by purchasing a duplicate of one ticket which is available at the same price, as is generally the case, keeping the expensive ticket and buying a duplicate of the less expensive ticket is the rational choice. Without an explicit good reason to do otherwise, it is not an example of the sunk cost fallacy to reduce your future expenses by keeping the more expensive ticket.
> China isn’t my enemy and can’t do shit to me

They're not your enemy _now_ and yes they can affect your life. You seem to be thinking about it as if someone in the CCP will wake up one day and decide to do something about "ok_dad". You're not alone in the country, right? There are other people that influence your life. While you may not be directly targeted, you can be indirectly affected by their ability to influence _other people around you_.

And when it comes to data, individual data is not that useful, it's aggregate data that's useful, which is why we _collectively_ have to prevent this from happening. For example, you don't have to give me your phone number, it's sufficient that your friend who called you gives me access to his contact list.

> The USA gov might be someday.

Two things can be bad at the same time. You could be enabling a foreign country to affect your life, and you could be targeted by the US government.
People halting moves into a dense population center because the city shut down for covid is not the same thing as people "fleeing in droves for taxes". There are absolutely some people doing this, but you are making up connections and this is a lazy talking point.
Chia does to digital storage prices what PoW blockchains have done to graphics card prices.
They have to check it for private information (e.g. names of specific people) and keep the factual part without any PII.
not sure why you're getting downvoted, came here to say exactly that.

European countries (including the UK - actually one of the best examples of single payer health care) figured out that having a healthy population is a matter of national security, so it gets funded the same way.

> I bet Coinbase has better customer support. Customer support for a financial institution can be 1000+ people, which inflates numbers but has a huge impact on the customer.

I have no experience, but whenever I read about coinbase support, people are crying how horrible it is. Reading only now, people are calling it The Worst they ever encountered. Anyone with experience here?
maybe i should have prepended the word Comrade to it?
One of the habits I have when writing kernel code is to intentionally break code in the kernel to verify that my test is checking what I think it's checking. That's because of a lesson I learned a long, long time ago after someone reviewed my code and caught a problem: when your code has security implications, you need to make sure the boundary conditions that your tests are supposed to cover actually get tested. Having implemented a number of syscalls exposted to untrusted userland over the years, this habit has saved my bacon several times and avoided CVEs.
Honestly this is a great sign IMO. Rather than forcing this kind of system on a nation-wide scale, something that would undoubtedly make a lot of people unhappy for a bunch of different reasons, we can trial this kind of system on a smaller scale and see how it goes. Obviously the good people of California are okay with paying high taxes, and this is just the kind of thing that the majority of CA people seem to want from their policy makers, as they are repeatedly elected, so it seems pretty perfect to me.

I, personally, am very happy with my employer health insurance and am glad that I left CA for a state with no income tax, but for the people remaining in CA it sounds great.

If this ends up happening Americans will have the ability to choose to live in a place with universal healthcare or not while still living in the US, which is pretty cool IMO.
Don't steal my idea! California is one of my retirement choice!
It looks like spam. I don't see a "flag" or "report" button. Perhaps it's necessary to be logged in to do that.

There is also spam here in HN, but it's usually flagged and killed soon. (And if you find an old post that is spam, you can report it to the mods by email.)
Yeah that happens quite a bit, too.
Installing an SSD into an iPod Classic with Rockbox
Yep, that's exactly how it goes. Repo contains contracts. Tests pull the latest version from that repo, though you're able to locally override that version to pull in a "unofficial" version.

Spec is created before any dev work begins. It might need changes when the work continues, no worries, the specs are versions and your team can decide on what stable versions are/aren't.
Both-Sides-Ism is such a tiresome stance. Yes, PO fucked up on their way out but that in no way justifies PiS actions, not does it even explain them. They'd dismantle democracy with or without PO's unlawful judgment. It's dishonest to claim otherwise.
Feedbin is one reader that offers that.
All of the limitations you mentioned sound Apple-imposed, as Android supports all of those features over sms / mms / rcs except replies/threads, and none of that is even slightly new.
A helicopter pilot is lost, lands his helicopter next to you, and asks, "where am I?" to which you respond, "you're in a helicopter". You are correct in the strictest sense, but probably not answering the intent of the question. :)

In this case, the intent is probably something like why are hcaptcha's customers centered around transport when there are so many other applications for this kind of labeling?
They tried to try it, but there were too many hurdles so they abandoned it. California could be the same, but there are benefits it has the Vermont didn't, as well as a significantly larger number of people to negotiate on behalf of.

>As with any attempt to dismantle one American health-care system and replace it with another, Green Mountain Care was always going to be a long game. For starters, it would not be until 2017 that any state could get federal permission to change the way it used insurance subsidies created under the ACA.
Unlocked K CPUs didn't support VT-d until Skylake. That was weird segmentation.

I would say it's not much different than having a voice activated assistant in your pocket and on your wrist 24/7.

That being said, I do unplug my Google Home Minis when they're not in use.
I provided that on the day I started. Not when I accepted my offer.
Your phone doesn't have a voice assistant?
Yeah, the headline could easily be flipped with the subheading and most people's reaction would be drastically different.

Overall I think a single-payer system is for the best. Having healthcare tied to your job creates another anchor to keep people tied to large, stable companies instead of taking risks with startups or small businesses.

The main downside is that companies have started doing tiered healthcare costs based on things like smoking or health indicators. Having income tax based on your weight or smoking status is probably a non-starter, so it removes some of the incentives for people to make good choices (and reduce healthcare costs).
Me too, but only because my employer pays for that extra, and on multiple occasions it was easier and quicker to get an appointment in the public health care system - which shouldn't be too surprising, since there's a personnel shortage in healthcare full stop.
Thank you for the details. I guess in that case Pepsi could buy them from the same place, although I suspect there is an exclusivity agreement there!
But ancient China wasn't isolated at all. Contact with Persia was extensive. Contact with India was significant. Han China interacted with Greeks left behind by Alexander's conquests: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dayuan . The Japanese days of the week today are clearly a cultural transmission from the West, mediated through China.

> I think there is still debate if Chinese writing rose de novo or was influenced by writing from Sumer.

I'm not aware of a theory that says Chinese writing was influenced by Sumer. It's generally felt to be its own thing. (Though note that Sumerian is about 2,000 years earlier than our oldest Chinese records, so as a theoretical matter there's no real way to rule it out. There just isn't any evidence of influence.)
> Google is _the worst_ for that. At least hCaptcha is a bit less culturally specific.

One example I keep ranting about: I think countries outside the US have different terms for "crosswalks".

I personally know them as "zebra crossings", and it took a while for the reCaptcha request to click in my mind.
Exactly. Leave it to California to foul something up. No matter what one's stance is on health care, I don't get how Californians can have faith in their establishment. The things we have that are relatively turnkey ways of bringing in money like the ports, the farmland, Hollywood, and Silicon Valley serve to paint over the rot. If we had none of those things and we governed ourselves the way we have been for decades now, we'd be the Venezuela of the United States.
The messaging on this article likely comes from the Tax Foundation's political viewpoint, which is generally anti-tax
People and companies are leaving the state in droves.

That has been the fantasy of many for at least as long as I've been able to read a newspaper, which is going on 50 years. And it never really seems to happen. Sure, there's a year or two of net migration out of the state, a few companies actually do leave, U-Haul reports that there are no rental trucks in the state of CA, they're all in $ANOTHER_STATE.

Then a few years later, house prices keep going up and net population rises. Maybe that big CA housing crash might actually happen this time, I dunno. I'm not counting on it, though. (Or for that matter, I'm not even caring, as we rejected moving to CA many years ago, and taxes are certainly a factor in that decision.)
When I lived in Ukraine, the 'bandits" that the then-pro-Moscow government claimed were running rampant in the streets were the "titushki" (guys hired for $20/night to wandered around with a beer in one hand and a crowbar in the other, beating up anyone who looked like the were protesting against the government). Inside the perimeter of the manifestation was one of the safer parts of the city.

So, when I hear a pro-Moscow autocratic ruler say there are bandits in the streets, I remain highly skeptical until there's hard evidence.
When you start. From reading the GP's comment I felt this was done before they started.
