For health care, I would tackle it in multiple phases. First phase, make Medicare purchasable by anyone. Specifically if a small company can get a better deal by buying through Medicare, then let them. Along with that would be restrictions that would prevent Medicare from charging more to one small employer than another based solely on the past health conditions or demographics of their employee base. And it would be available without networks, so you could use it anywhere. I think that would be the biggest win, so that you don't get hit with a large bill if you happen to get sick when out of town.

Secondly -- increase the employer's FICA rate, and credit it back if they provide health insurance to their employees. That way if someone works more than 40 hours a week, but spread across three part time employers, they could still get enough FICA medicare credits to be eligible for a Medicare-provided group plan. (Or, the credits could go to whatever provider the employee wants).

Finally, change the messaging. I hear from a lot of conservatives that they don't want to be stuck paying for someone else's healthcare. My answer -- they are paying for it anyway. If an uninsured and poor person ends up in the ER, they still receive treatment, and if they can't pay then it is written off and/or paid for with tax money or increased costs for everyone else. The messaging that I give to people that oppose universal coverage, is that the coverage would "make these uninsured people pay their own way through their own taxes". Now obviously there is still a payment imbalance, but it is still a message that may get through to the conservatives.
Both food, or medical, is a use of a resource that is created by and for humans. The pig wouldn't have been born had their purpose for food, or medical use, not been there.

it's not like humans are capturing wild pigs and using them. I would say that wild animals deserves the right to exist and not hunted (unless they're threatening human interests), but the same cannot be said for bred animals.

I've been dealing with legacy part of our app for the couple of days now, and I'm pissed.

But not at the code, I fully understand how code can become hairy, deadlines can be tight, etc. No. I'm pissed at my team (I'm new) who didn't have time in the past 5 years to even attempt to clean this shit up.
Just tried that search in English. First result is "The data- and AI-focused company has secured a $1.6 billion round at a $38 billion". And if you click the search box you get the first search option as databricks valuation history where the first result is funding every round.

Google has been so much better for search for me than other search engines. Atleast for what I search for programming, news etc.
Is it Google that's deteriorating, or is it the quality of the web in general that's gone downhill and Google just reflects that?
Bitcoin without any way to exchange into traditional currency would be a very different scenario than what currently exists. It makes no sense to talk about it since we’re discussing energy use here and now.

So if we need to consider the resources used by the whole banking system when thinking about VISA etc, we must do so for Bitcoin as well. Otherwise we’re just playing with blue-sky hypotheticals.
Yes, the stuff applied/invented in industry has to work and generate a benifit. In academia I see it often that people stop after the proof of principle (which if the dataset is too small only appears to be a proof of principle)
If they were raised for organs rather than meat for consumption, we'd likely treat them better. Not only because of the emotional causes, but because they'd probably be worth a lot of money so the investment would be greater to keeping them alive.

The airlines are currently paying a "tax" by running the flights empty but that cost is just being burnt as fossil fuel and helps no one.

By switching to a tax for unused gates/ flight slots that is 80% of the cost of flying an empty if plane, the Airline saves money, the airport makes money, and the environment has fewer CO2 solutions. It is a win-win-win on all sides.
Even if it weren't for energy use, not having to change light bulbs for a decade is a huge motivation to switch.
> This is because almost everyone is thinking about and taking into account only the demand side – most people would love to borrow at low interest rates, ...low interest rates must mean that credit is both cheap and plentiful. However, not thinking about and taking into account the supply side of the picture

I'm not sure this is any kind of explanation to the contrary. Credit issuance means someone took advantage of credit offered, not a total of the available credit (offered).

I got a home mortgage 2.75%@30yrFxd with 7%! down for hundreds of thousands of dollars this year. I have a friend who has almost 100k in debt, which she cannot service, and a credit score of just over 640 (by gaming the score during the pandemic from 500s) and has credit cards with 10k limits coming in the mail.

Credit IS cheap and plentiful and the same mistakes of 2007 have been amplified by the banking system (Fed + too big to fail cronies).
Any outfit going bankrupt buying landing slots will have those slots then sold to the next lowest bidder by the outfit's creditors.

There are many stories of governments trying to half-bake a market system resulting in failure. You have to set that against the absurd result of 18,000 empty flights of a fully regulated system.
> But just in terms of "what would I rather have", a link to the ticket every time

In practice over the past 20+ years, I've had to rely on commit messages far more than tickets, but a well-written ticket is defnitely awesome to have. When I ran Engineering for a startup, one of the things we invested a lot of time in was making sure commits had good messages, tickets had good writeups, and the two were linked. We required a pull request to close a ticket, and our CI system would automatically append a link to the ticket to the PR when it was merged. It was such a level of awesomesauce.
I'm not sure why you think that's relevant. (Note - I am not OP.)

Being hypocritical is an indictment at the speaker, not of the speech. The most hypocritical person to ever live may well be completely right about their most hypocritical belief. It's just not relevant to the the validity of the idea.

So why do people constantly try to use it as a counterargument?

It seems especially prevalent in these sorts of discussions, and for some reason it's often used as you did here. You have no idea if they are vegan or not, but somehow the mere suggestion that a single person might not be is seen as some kind of refutation of the importance of animal rights in general.
They’re 100% different in the sense that withholding treatment completely is not done in the US currently for any reason. We've drawn a line there as a society.

You’re right, of course, but it’s somewhat despairing to see how accepting we are of immoral behavior on the grounds that it is financially incentivized.
Censoring terms of the search vector to find relevant results is a legitimate approach that works well. In this example, the article author gives a Wikipedia page as the desired top result. That document does not include the term "age" anywhere. Therefore you can see how the term is not necessary to the search.
Even that's a bit apples to oranges. Raw Node is very low level so comparable to Rack in Ruby.
Anecdotal evidence - but I feel like this could be completely valid.

One of my biggest side projects for many years was a student tool centered around test scores. It was a niche use case with a huge amount of students using the tool on one day per year (1m+). There was exactly one competitor. I had a better domain but a much worse site in terms of design, speed etc. We were nearly the same in traffic, until I decided to monetize the site with a lot of Google ads. Immediately, Google shot my site up in the rankings, and actually seemed to penalize the competitive site. My traffic went up 10x and the competitive site remained flat. This happened for 3 years, then the niche use of both of our tools was “patched”.
Do you have an adblocker that's accidentally blocking the side-bar? I find it difficult to find a proper-noun search that doesn't include a side-bar link to Wikipedia.
Central banks of nations who issue their own currency on a floating exchange rate have complete control of the cash rate. The natural rate of interest is zero so if the central bank didn’t interfere that’s where it would tend towards.

I went to lodge an issue and they required me to associate my personal mobile number with my Facebook account, something I've been avoiding doing for years. F that!
> lets you basically do whatever* you want for 42% of the year.

Henry Ford once said "A customer can have any color they want, as long as it is black".

You can do whatever you want as long as you want to do exactly what you've been told you have to do. You have to do something extremely specialized - publish your work in good outlets (whatever that means, depending on the field). The truth is that you can work on any topic you want, as long as you can publish in the right place. You have to deal with reviewers. You have to follow the norms of the profession. Don't like the way things are done? Tough. You do it the way the reviewers and editors want you to do it.

I'm writing this more for anyone that's considering going into academia. It's not at all what you think when you hear people talking about your "freedom". There's a long list of rules you have to follow, not unlike any profession.
> She rejects Bell’s statistical independence assumption, which she sees as a mere dogma rather than a prerequisite for doing science.

It does sound like Aaronson is begging the question here. Why must we accept the outcome that "doing science" is possible? I understand why it is an appealing assumption for people whose job it is to do science, but that's not a counter-argument to the claim that the statistical independence assumption is mere dogma.

> Crucially, she never explains the mechanism by which superdeterminism, once allowed into the universe (including into macroscopic devices like computers and random number generators), will stay confined to reproducing the specific predictions that quantum mechanics already told us were true, rather than enabling ESP or telepathy or other mischief.

Again this seems like argumentum ad consequentiam. It may be uncomfortable to think that we live in a world of "ESP or telepathy or other mischief", but rejecting them a priori and then arguing backwards against superdeterminism is not a sound argument, and nor is it science.

It ebbs and flows with what is happening. Escapist fantasies are popular when times are hard. I feel times are hard now. Philidelphia and Leaving Las Vegas are two of my favorite movies, but I saw them when times were pretty good. However, I would enjoy an interesting movie about social issues being debated these days, just not with a Matrix backdrop and theme.

Clothes and photo style.

If you've ever seen a colourised and touched-up photo from the early 20th century, the only giveaway is the clothes.
Sure, posting a photo of you in your living room with the painting in the background isn't reproducing the original work. It'd be hard to argue that it's infringing. But let's get back to the original topic: OnlyFans' terms of use almost certainly does not give users the right to redistribute purchased content. This would destroy their entire business model: one subscriber could just repost everything.
The developer only owns the code, not the account. GitHub owns 100% of all accounts on their service.

A thought experiment I always like to posit is: what if we were the animal that needed to be tested on for the benefit of medical research that could safe a lot of the members of an alien species that is much more intelligent than us.

Unfortunately with the DRM situation, the benefits are much outweighing the cost. The speed gains and compatibility I'd get let me do a lot more things. I can use these better CPUs to compile a lot faster :|

The banks not much better. All banks in my country have dated late 90s-looking websites with not even UTF-8 encoding (so you can't send an email with a comma). They are barely usable on desktop. I'd have to make my own client or at least whip up a lot of magic CSS to get it to be mobile-friendly and would even still need to include QR code scanning as it is so ubiquitous that no one would let me fiddle with adding their account numbers.
This advice only "stands", for apostasy and betrayal of the people I love in my community, and of the martyrs and saints who underwent beatings and who gave their lives for God being tortured to death in the colosseum. To give up and let their view, consumed with love for God and each other die in me... All because I couldn't endure a little hostility from some unknown people on the internet who thought I was silly for seeing as much meaning in things as I do.
> But the circumstances attending euthanizing research pigs are tricky; the pigs are all in a common area, and they're social animals and know something's up when you put one of them down.

Interesting. I wonder if people have experimented with more humane slaughtering practices like giving the pigs a bunch of booze/opiates so they can have a big pig party, then slaughtering once they've had their fun and passed out. Seems like it could be much more humane. Give em a last hoorah.
> I don't know 100% it seems to me that there's room to discuss how a "chimeric" transplant could symbolically be that.

Anything that tampers with nature taking its course on its own could be an abomination. Like putting blood from another being into an infant and hooking them up to crazy machines and causing pain to the infant to save their life.

Of course, any failure to save someone's life which is readily saved could also be an abomination.

It all comes down to what one weighs as important.

> even where strict religious dietary laws are not at play.

Most strict dietary laws would allow one to eat the item, or have it put into your body, to survive. The systems with these doctrines largely have exceptions for literally millennia, because we understand that people being able to choose to live trumps artificial restrictions. (Indeed, some reach further to say that extending ones life in violation of these laws is not just permissible, but a duty).

> Determined on a very personal level, not something I can prescribe here and now.

It's fair to say "eh, I've had a good run-- why go further?" I've argued as such here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29432560 One's religious views are even a reasonable way to weigh things.

But I do think that once you reach beyond, to say that readily available care that has become routinely used to extend life (like a pacemaker) might be far outside of God's will and that this is a reasonable reason to reject it in itself-- and we can hardly ask God what He wants-- I think the argument becomes dubious.

That is, dying in infancy was the norm throughout human history. The interventions we have tamper with that outcome more than anything else. And at this point implanting a pacemaker is an outpatient procedure and on the low-scale of the medical intervention ladder.
He's making statements about the severity and frequency of side effects in children that I just can't find any proof for. That disqualifies him in my opinion until I can find data supporting his claims.

Until then, for me, he's in the same corner as others hanging out with right-wing extremists [1] spreading misinformation.

> Anyone who has been through civics 102 in the US knows that there's lots of ways to get your passport taken away...

But that's irrelevant unless one of those ways is to "possess [ITAR-controlled and requires a security clearance] information," as one of the ancestor comments stated. If that's actually the case, someone should be able to cite law/regulation or provide examples of the practice, but no one has.
I commend the author’s effort, but this is not reflective of any interviews I’ve been part of, which is many across several industries and levels. Bayesian Deep Learning? Chapter 2 in Kindergarten? If anyone asked me a question on that, I would kindly ask them to eat shit.
The people denying this seem to be ignoring the data the article quotes suggesting a sizable majority of American youth are on iPhones and likely social pressure has a lot to do with it. Sorry I’m not buying these anecdotes of “no one cares”. If no one cared they’d be on cheaper androids. Most likely they’ll say they don’t care and yet secretly do. If I as a 40 year old feel pressure from colleagues there’s no way a teen isn’t.
Honestly its pure speculation. But I could see scenarios where neural network driven search is great 90% of the time, and misses the last 10%, but in aggregate improves their revenue and product. Users on HN complain about the results, whereas normal searchers dont. The SEO spam works since it answers the question/fulfills whatever distance metric they are using for the search query.

Basic explanation of how one of these systems works:

(offline computation)
user query comes in -> algorithm runs across all the text on the page and computes the distance between the query and the meaning of the text (as represented by word embeddings called BERT).

Maybe the SEO spam has a good distance metric there, causing flaws, but the search works very well for a large number of users when trying to actually extract an answer to a search.

> Sadly universities are wholey occupied in politically aligning themselves blue with focusing on progressive topics before the basics.

Actually, we badly need a class dedicated to the software engineer’s role in perpetuating racist, sexist, and classist systems. I’ve seen nothing of the sort at three different schools. You could even throw in a lecture on professionalism in the workplace!
You know what really traumatizes kids for life? "compassionate" policies that encourage parents to sell their kids to the cartels who then sell them to people to use as shields to get across the boarder. When DHS does bother to paternity test "families" coming across the boarder some horrendous percentage of the kids were not related to the "parents".

You want to not traumatize kids? Have proper boarder control and don't tell people if they manage to sprint across the boarder they will get a bunch of free stuff.
You must have remarkable discipline and focus! Or you must have discovered the 38 exceedingly better sites on the whole Internet, and now no other URLs will do.
> It's just a completely unbacked conspiracy theory.

...I had no theory at all. I was merely bringing up that the blanket statement of the first amendment not applying to Twitter is false. It can be debated in court under first amendment grounds.

We have in this thread an interesting whiplash of "the 1st amendment must be protected!" and "Twitter is not bound by the first amendment" by the same people. I am doing the same, but am at least contextualizing how and where the first amendment applies to Twitter.

Edit:

The first amendment is a set of restrictions on what government can't restrict. Therefore, if the first amendment is applied to Twitter, it means the content not allowed to be restricted is Twitter's speech. This is how it works with newspapers and why they are liable.

Twitter, is not saying this. They are, very directly in the text of this case, advocating for protecting their users' speech, not their own. But they do this selectively: they'll only allow government censorship when they feel like it

Private organizations acting under threat of government action are liable and can be sued, threatened or not [1]. I have attached many cases where the Supreme Court has ruled in this way.

Reminds me of

[My father] taught me “See that bird? It’s a brown-throated thrush, but in Germany it’s called a halsenflugel, and in Chinese they call it a chung ling and even if you know all those names for it, you still know nothing about the bird–you only know something about people; what they call that bird. Now that thrush sings, and teaches its young to fly, and flies so many miles away during the summer across the country, and nobody knows how it finds its way,” and so forth. There is a difference between the name of the thing and what goes on.

I had similar problem with delay will in logic which gets fixed by changing the sampling rate, but the real fix is by increasing the buffers in pref.
