Health insurance isn't that bad. COBRA legislation allows you to keep your current company plan for 18 months, plus an 18 month extension if needed, with the catch that you start paying for it yourself. You'll get a letter about it with instructions. It can be rather expensive though, I recall mine being somewhere around $600/mo, so I opted to take a risk and go without for quite awhile. (Remembering the financial burden my mom got herself in when she was still alive -- she was unexpectedly laid off, and between jobs stopped having coverage, it was then that she fell and broke her arm.) Later I got a "cheapo" plan that's $280/mo this year, that's basically my hedge against similar really costly unexpected events, though having one would still be annoyingly expensive anyway since it has a high deductible. It's not hard to shop for them, basically search "[your state] health insurance" and look for the relevant portal that lets you compare and pick a plan.

I wasn't shooting it down. I was asking you what the government realistically was going to do with that money to solve wealth inequality, but you never answered that. Based on the last several years of obscene spending with little results I'd say it's a tough question to answer.
I mean, I’m annoyed sure but I’ve gotten over a decade of free service. When I saw the announcement for a half second considered setting up an email server again then remembered what a massive pain in the ass that use to be and just going to pay the fee

From Engineer to CEO – Year Three
There was a movie about this, Ex Machina.

It starred Hunky Pilot and Shouty Guy from Star Wars Ep 7, and Less-busty Tomb Raider, none of whom were recognizable from their other gigs.
Even if it is software, I don't want automatically updating. The problem introduced by automatically updating is higher than the problem they fixed in my experience.

For example, windows updating. There was an updating when professor gave the talk in class. Windows updating popped out. There is no way for professor to stop the updating. He missed the chance and windows already went into blue updating screen. So, We had a break, and professor went to his office to find another computer.

Another problem is that automatically updating almost always runs silently. When I played online game and the game went laggy, I always tabbed out to see what happened with resource monitor. It is easy to find out there is whatever updating using CPU or bandwidth.

I feel updating just like legally raping my device. Oh. It is OUR device.
There are many, many such organizations. Just look around at political organizations of all stripes.

> who has made promises that they most likely will not fulfill

That's just your assertion. It hasn't been my experience, and they can always be voted out of office.

> In elections you put an X beside someone's name

You can do a lot more than that, if you use the power you have been given in a democracy. Having worked on many elections, I can say that it amazes me how much power the few people doing the work have. To stand on the outside and say you are powerless is bizarre - like standing on the shore of the ocean and insisting there are no fish.

Without the casino opening in 1993 would they have been able to afford to gain traction on that suit?
The whole lake should be a superfund site...but that would have ruined tourism. The Silver valley has been well known and from what I know is the only area really being actively "cleaned".

Cd'a, Spokane, Kalispel and Chewelah all opened tribal casinos and a few of them did fairly well.

As others have stated...proximity to a fairly large metropolitan area helps bring in traffic. Not to mention the area is on/near the junction of 2 major highways (I-90 and US95), airport, tourism...etc.
I speak a minority language that is primarily in spoken form by native speakers, very limited in number. I wonder, how AI technologies can be utilized to enhance the content or auto generating speech. I find it hard. Plus, the economic incentives for doing this work is highly limiting because of a small / limited user base.
I agree with the individual points of your comment, but speculate that the market could still be big enough to be profitable. This is mainly due to a popular HN thread about executive assistants from this November: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29336234

I don't think I would ever get an executive assistant, even if I were to someday be in a place to afford one. Hypothetically speaking, I get the idea that frugality can be a burden, and it sometimes makes sense to spend money to save time.

However, I personally value making the time and practicing the skill of prioritizing tasks for myself. I just generally like to be self-reliant when I have the option.
Quantum zeta epiphany: Physicist finds a new approach to a $1MM math enigma
That might be true, or it might be cop propaganda. I mean, a press release from the cops is literally cop propaganda. We know from recent reports in New York that the NYPD is just going around refusing to investigate crimes or make arrests, and telling everyone who will listen it is the DA's fault. Their propaganda campaign is organized by the police union, which is nationally coordinated and not politically neutral. So when you read reports, written by cops, about these issues, unless they come with substantial documented evidence, I think you should treat those claims as skeptically as you treat press releases from the CIA, or Putin, or whoever. These claims have no inherent credibility.
> I would recommend that parents interested in good schooling in this area look into Redwood City over Menlo Park or Palo Alto, since it has a magnet program for 3-8 and is considerably less expensive.

Menlo Park and Palo Alto school districts are overrun with parents who want to push their child into advanced classes from the moment they can put sentences together. Having talked to many friends over the years who work in tech with me who grew up in these school districts (I didn't, my experience was very different), their parents constantly applied pressure to school administrators and counselors to push their child into advanced instruction. I know parents that would spend hours a day trying to pressure school administration to push their child along. I can only imagine this form of sandbagging is just to put the brakes on you and every other parent who wants to push their child as much as possible. You're competing against every other wealthy, pushy parent trying to push their children into advanced classes as well.
yep. we have a number of users that do just this

Firefox removed support for installing PWAs on the few platforms it used to support that on, which is one of the more important features for my usage. I don’t want to see browser chrome on apps that are intended to be peers with traditional apps, and having presence in OS process/windows management is useful.
This is addicting! Great game design. Sadly, the data from Wikidata isn't perfect -- often you'll get something that has many dates that could be the starting date, but you're not sure which one it's looking for (this happens a lot with countries as well as with abstract concepts and fields of study). Like if "Norway" comes up, does it want 872 (when the regional kingdoms first unified) or 1905 (when Norway split from Sweden and formed the modern country) or some date in between? Another example is the Giant's Causeway, a rock formation in Northern Ireland; I assumed the inception date was millions of years ago, but the game wanted 1986 (the year it was recognized as a World Heritage Site).

And then there's the vandalism -- so far I've had to deal with Hong Kong flu's description being changed to some all-caps Spanish profanity, and Colt's Manufacturing Company's start year was set to 69. Both of these changes are now fixed on Wikidata, but the game seems to be using a data export from around April 2021.

I think an ideal version of this game might use a dataset that's been carefully inspected by humans, though obviously that would be a lot more work to implement. Still, very fun.
With we don't need that kind of security I was talking about average home computer user (the one for which the personal computer was created!) that buys a computer to use it for normal everyday tasks.

There are situations where that kind of security is required, of course, but they are not something that you should worry about if you use the computer to watch YouTube videos and thus I don't think that makes any sense at all to be present on a consumer PC.
I worked on Banjo Kazooie and the claim that N-World was used for it is incorrect. We used Maya for all modelling. They did a demo to the BK team once and it went really badly for them. What they demoed to us was so far from being competitive with Maya that it was almost laughable.
Thanks for recommending logseg. Going to give it a try.

I've been using Dendron mostly because of the search feature and the ability to publish it on web but I didn't really like the experience of editing my notes on VS Code. Seems like logseg have similar feature as well.
“Static” is the key word here, these are likely to change as bugs are filed and new features are added, no?

"Republicans may implement voter ID improperly, so we must never ever verify that the people casting votes are doing so legally" is an insane position, honestly.

We already verify this, we just don't do it with the particular methods that they demand (and why they reject state-issued IDs that aren't used by their preferred demographics.)

Which is, of course, a game of goal-post shifting, that is impossible to win.
Personally I would like if someone could use AI to enhance the voices of the actors, I find a lot of movies like to use loud ominous music while the characters are casually talking in a soft voice. Really drives me insane, and placing subtitles helps this problem but it creates a new one, I tend to get distracted by the subtitles and find myself not watching the movie
I loved his book "Bullshit jobs", it really opened my eyes about the shitty corporate world some of us live in. Anyways, I just started reading his last book today, and it got me totally hooked!! The first two chapters describe a totally new way of seeing the history of some of the "great thinkers" of the "age of enlightenment". *spoilers alert!* E. g. he says that some of the European thinkers who supposedly "came up" with the ideas of enlightenment "freedom", "equalitarianism", etc. which were the basis in some way for the French and US revolutions, had actually been presented to these European intellectuals originally from some North-Eastern Native American intellectuals. Whose ideals regarding all these topics could be found in the literature of that time in countless Jesuit travel journals through the North American French territories and so on... While reading some of the thoughts being quoted in the book from an Iroquois intellectual, I must admit that I found great affinity to his world view and have gotten only more curious about more literature on the Iroquois way of life.
It's not v8 at least, I use it on 7 just fine (though I do use the cloud offering). I don't see why it would be tied to that though considering it's just an API integration that saves the card into your 1password for the site you're on and then fills in the credentials. That _should_ theoretically work with a local vault as well on v7.

It would be hilarious to see famous actors deepfaked into speaking foreign languages in a feature film.

I suspect it simply won't work - translating accurately is really hard, but translating elegantly is frequently impossible. Some things are just easier/punchier/funnier to say in language A than B
sorry dendron didn't work out. was there anything specific that felt "janky"? we've had lots of updates on general ux (see https://buttondown.email/dendron/archive/) and are continuing to focus on that this year.
that being said, logseq is also a great tool. a bunch of folks use both dendron and logseq in tandem
I'm glad to see someone else that finds Python unreadable. I keep seeing people saying that it's one of the most readable languages out there, and each time I feel like I'm from another planet.
The software is for running a federated server, which is more like a traditional open source project and not really federated.

They could just fork it and start a version not including Alex if they don't like him so much.
> This creates issues with the grid, which is increasingly required to transport the power south to where it's actually needed.

It may not be politically viable, but the natural economic way of solving this problem is charging regions a premium if they require energy to be sent to them, and giving a rebate to regions that are net exporters. To not be regressive, the premium might have to only apply to energy consumed above a certain threshold of usage.
So, I don't agree with your assessment at all. Writing a large enterprisey business app in Rust will likely run faster, have fewer bugs, use less memory, and even scale out better.

That's true but which is more flexible for the "ever changing living business app domain" the GP is alluding to? You seem to keep ignoring this part, flexibility matters. In rust is easy to code yourself into a corner and spent lots of time rewriting stuff over and over.
> While blue-bubble FOMO is certainly real, suggesting that it’s the reason people want iPhones is A-grade, uncut “people only buy Apple products because they’re status symbols” kind of delusion.

yeah, ok...

> Since Apple made that choice not to support Android, though, it’s probably safe to say that Apple never actually intended for iMessage to compete for instant-message domination over the rest of the world

apple has made exclusive decisions over and over and over again. and i think everybody outside of the apple bubble knows that its because Brand Prestige is a HUGE part of apples branding.
Why do a people teach a people but b people teach c? Lol such elitism
Why's the #3 most active city in the US listed as Graceville, a Florida village with a population of 2,153? Is that a VPN exit point for some large provider? Google isn't helpful.

I assume Ashburn traffic (#8) comes from AWS us-east-1.

In the UK fully qualified doctors are called 'mr' or 'ms' - only baby doctors are called 'doctor'.
> antigen tests aren't going to show covid until a couple days after symptoms start (typically)

This is false? It was definitely false pre-Omicron and my understanding is that it's still false.

Gifted programs in public schools are typically aimed at moderately gifted students in the 115 to 130 IQ range. A child who is either above that IQ generally or especially talented in a particular area tends to not be adequately accommodated by public school gifted programs.

To make matters worse, it's quite common for very gifted students to also have issues like ADHD or OCD, which qualifies them for a label of twice exceptional. When I was raising my now adult sons, schools typically wanted to label a child either gifted or special needs and often seemed incapable of comprehending that a child could be both.

I ended up homeschooling and as a consequence I was involved with an online voluntary health and welfare organization for the gifted. My impression was that it was pretty common for people with very gifted or twice exceptional children to homeschool due to frustration with how schools handle such students.

They need custom help that few people are qualified to adequately provide.

What makes Arch more compelling for any use case (including games) over gentoo? Popularity? Ease of installation?
Hmmm , I have a Mac and an iPhone and the fixed price application from circa 2015-16. They are still in sync via iCloud. I can see "Sync with Dropbox" and "Sync with WLAN server" in the settings. Did you mean any custom sync options that may have existed?
Covid-19 vaccines and treatments: we must have raw data, now
Totally agree that mind maps are hard to scale out, either across time or people. This is why Dendron focuses on helping folks create consistent structures (we call them schemas) to help map out their knowledge base. Think of it as a type system for organizing your notes.

>Let’s start with the obvious: the only people having this conversation about iMessage are Americans

That makes it important. A large section of 300 million of the richest people on the planet want blue text bubbles rather than green ones, and will buy the expensive phone to get it. Fortunes have been made on much less.
Buildings have been created and patched incrementally for millennia.

It's one of the things that Engineers got pretty good at, because people died over and over.

$275.50 per 1 million orders

There will be 420 million orders according to sources online, which gets us to $115,710. Very interesting - thank you for the analysis.
It may be stable, but there are certainly issues. I cannot get mail delivered to my home address, and it told me I can only use a residential address, so no tests for me. I am far from the only person with this situation. This is a major fail when the website boldly advertises, "Every home in the U.S. is eligible". They even specifically refuse to send it general delivery to my local post office, which is the usual solution when people refuse to ship to anywhere but my home address.
this is a dumb take, implying you must have chat presence on every phone in the world to not be a failure. imessage isn’t that product. i think for iphone owners the messages app is still the preferred solution for all messages. you’ll use others if needed, but you’d rather not. it’s a great app because most people use it naturally without even thinking. apple business chat is going to bring in a lot of revenue for apple. i message has a strong future
It gets worse when you leave the bay. There are states where they don't believe in the concept of kids being mentally gifted but they'll bend over backward to talk up their gifted athletic programs. You can be super good at dribbling and be valuable but good at math is just training... uhuh... Okay...
a plumber is actually a civil engineer, and I doubt one would get a degree for plumbing...
Have you talked to your local postmaster about this? This sounds like an issue they would be able to help resolve. No matter where I've lived, I've found them extremely helpful whenever I had to deal with them.
This article basically echos what the Google report said. If you are talking about US teenagers then iMessage is king. If you are looking at the rest of the world then it is kind of a flop because in a lot of the rest of the world SMS is a complete rip off so a message system that falls back to SMS is useless, hence people in those countries use cross platform messaging that eliminates SMS on their phone.

This is so great. It also teach me how functionality differ between RDBMSs.
Yes. The project has a (dynamic) website as one of the requirements so we will be building one anyways. And if the lead gets his way, a multiple additional APIs to interface with the Google apps.
Yes and I think this is the most useful kind. This tech is going to get much better this decade.
You'd get more discussion if you gave the book title in the post title...
> In particular, the short notice period (3 months + 2 months grace) for something people have been using for a decade is jarring.

For me, this raises the obvious question. How long a notice period is long enough? Six months? Eight? A year? Five years? A decade?

I think we can all agree that a decade would be an excessive and unreasonable expectation.

> By the same token, people have been using free Gmail accounts for a while now. What do you think the perception will be if Google asked them to pony up $60 a year with 5 months’ notice?

Probably about the same as if Google asked them to pony up $60 a year with a year's notice. Which is to say incredibly hostile because people have come to view free Gmail accounts as a basic public service for which no payment will ever be required under any circumstances.
