> The demand price curve is different. If housing gets more expensive you could (although) difficult move into a smaller apartment, or different region. (Similiar with food up to a certain amount). This allows the market to find the best/right price by supply and demand. (I think this is called inelastic demand)

Changing housing situations is exactly as easy as changing hospitals and emergency rooms no? Since the latter are mostly decided by where you live. In fact, most mid to large cities feature many hospitals near any given residence, so it is actually easier. I would also point out that the demand curve for housing, energy and food are far more inelastic than for medicine.

> If you have cancer though than basicall the market cannot find a price, and it would tend towards to: 'give me all you have'.

Why couldn't the market find a price? Cancer actually seems like the worse example possible. The people I've known who've been diagnosed with cancer have shopped around for care from many different hospitals. It would seem that cancer would be the perfect candidate for market forces to lower prices since a diagnosis generally affords a bit of time to find and decide on treatment options. Even in the extreme case of 'you have months to live' people tend to spend a few weeks collecting different opinions.
We (Americans) are in this situation simply because we have avoided making hard decisions in our healthcare system, and in many cases created actually done things that break the system further (limited to no healthcare rationing in Medicare, mandatory acceptance of pre existing conditions, attaching private insurance to one’s employer rather than the individual, etc.)

In short we haven’t come to a consensus as to derivation of the engineering axiom, you can have 1) broader access 2) quantity/quality 3) affordability —-pick two

> A model is proposed for the evolution of the profile of a growing interface. The deterministic growth is solved exactly, and exhibits nontrivial relaxation patterns. The stochastic version is studied by dynamic renormalization-group techniques and by mappings to Burgers's equation and to a random directed-polymer problem. The exact dynamic scaling form obtained for a one-dimensional interface is in excellent agreement with previous numerical simulations. Predictions are made for more dimensions.

You can't indemnify health, only property. Personal costs related to health have no bounds; for instance if you lose your job because of health, your "out of pocket" is your whole salary. Which real insurance would cover.

Your example is leagues of laws and regulation on top of a scam, a pyramid model that affords top care for those who can afford modest premiums and really do get expensive care for $5 copay, at the cost of everybody else who has to fight their employer via federal politics for the right to go bankrupt.

Indeed, I would say that using insurance to pay your insulin bill is coming out on top of the scam, because some books are getting cooked (+/- paper costs) at the expense of mutual indemnity (taxes, social security). An insulin user is a health insurance voter, but that is a weak expediency for actually fixing the price of insulin and ending the tyranny of insurance companies over healthcare, and it turns whole populations into do-or-die partisans.

Thanks, Obama!
Funnily enough there’s another excellent article by apenwarr that touches on this a bit. Ethernet is designed to go as fast as possible/line rate and assumes that everything is the same speed. When you disabled pause frames, it likely prevented the switch from interfering and punting the issue to the TCP stack of the server/client.

Fracking for geothermal basically.

Probably better than fracking for fossil fuels, for multiple reasons, but still a mildly ironic repurposing of the tech.
Exactly. They've "disappeared" from outside of the ledger, in the sense that those tokens will never be involved in another transaction so won't be "seen" again by anyone else. But they can never disappear from inside the ledger. That would violate the rules of accounting.

My main point with this is this is how the current money system works! People seem to think money can disappear in crypto but not in the real system. In fact it's quite the opposite. In both systems from the ledger's point of view nothing can appear or disappear. But in the current system, since the ledgers are controlled by private entities they can make stuff appear from the public point of view by creating loans. In crypto the ledger is not controlled by anyone.

Essentially the big problem with finance currently is the people who control the ledger are also allowed to create loans inside the ledger! It's a huge conflict of interest and obscenely privileged position.
I don't think it's inconsistent. The people who advocate for free healthcare would probably also advocate for other parts of a social safety net, like food banks, food stamp programs, free access to water, temporary housing for the homeless and programs to get them to permanent homes, etc.

And indeed the US has many such services, though they are often overwhelmed, or performed through a complex set of nonprofits combining govt funds with donor money as best they can to provide good support. Sometimes they are overwhelmed specifically because of externalities related to the for-profit insurance healthcare system. The high and often unpredictable cost of any medical situation, means people with tight budgets become sicker before getting care, if they ever get it, leading to a higher percentage of bad outcomes, up to and including job loss and homelessness for the individual, and knock-on effects for the rest of their family. This puts extra pressure on the parts of the support system that do exist - those already mentioned, and, of course, the police, who end up getting called to many situations that could have been prevented by the people involved having better services to begin with, to meet their health, food, and housing needs.

It sounds like you tried hobbies to meet people instead of having any real interest in those hobbies. People with real interest can tell if someone is faking it.

Try to do things that really interest you. Also don’t judge non-attractive people. They may make good friends and introduce you to their friends who might be attractive for you.

And even if only thing interests you is programming then try to volunteer your programming skills somewhere. Not only you might meet someone but also do social good.
There's a misconception here, I think. "Backups" are the problem, not the solution. Once any one of them is compromised, the money is gone. Having more backups increases your risk.

I don't play in this world, but if I did, I'd note that the actual keys required to define a wallet are trivially small and comparatively easily re-entered at a keyboard by hand. If you're got millions in this stuff that you need to park, delete it from the internet, print it out, and stick it in a safe.

I left coding. "Retired" at 29. goofed off until covid hit (age 33). Was very apathetic, developed some nasty self destructive habits.. covid kinda woke up me up. Moved to a rural area. Bought a 20 acre farm. Got a entry level job as a carpenter. Within a year i had hired the master carpenter i was working with (after our boss was in a motorcycle accident and closed his business). Just got our first house (custom home, 3600sf) to build two weeks ago. Im making $500-600 a day now.

im happy, way more happy. still a bit hard to make friends (slow process). currently trying to find a (young, traditional) wife. my health improved greatly (strong as an ox now, where before i was spindly and underdeveloped), and im not depressed or apathetic at all. i leap out of bed! eager to go to work. and the sense of accomplishment at the end of the day is unparalleled.
As far as I understand, Neil Young sold 50% of the rights to all his songs, meaning that the investment firm would make money off publishing rights. That doesn't mean that they get to unilaterally decide what to do with his music.

Sort of. You get to initiate a fight with the insurer through an unaccountable arbiter.

I have a hobby car that is similar; I can get right around 40MPG on the highway and it makes more power than a stock modern version of itself. The real reason the newer cars don't get better mileage is a few factors:

Old cars do well steady state, but are far less efficient in transient states; modern engines are far better at that.

Old cars have absolutely toxic emissions. I mean literal 100's of times worse than modern engines (especially diesels), which are already terrible.

Couple these two major factors and you'll see where most of the advances have gone. That said, I don't think you are completely incorrect either; incentives have to be put into the right places to drive these innovations forward.

If you want to see state of the art efficiency for fossil fuel engines look at trains. They are more heavily regulated for emissions than bunker fuel ships, and the amount of fuel per ton-mile used is tiny compared to a personal vehicle due to a few factors (load vs vehicle weight, efficiency of acceleration/deceleration, engines operating only at peak power/efficiency and the traction motors being electric, etc.).

On a side note, the lack of parts to keep an old car in compliance with emissions is driving me insane. My hobby car is a HUGELY popular car from 20-30 years ago and the supply of parts to keep it on the road is drying up already. Due to it's factory state of tune (naturally aspirated, ~100hp/liter) aftermarket discount parts are not suitable and fail quickly, sometimes damaging other parts. OEM parts are so rare now that they are getting painfully expensive to continue procuring them, and for emissions related systems the only quality parts left are the high end aftermarket (which aren't legal). It's becoming almost impossible to keep these vehicles legal, which I'm sure is intended. I'm at the point where I'll likely run the "illegal" (though perfectly identical if used properly) parts for 23 out of the 24 months it's on the road, and only use the almost impossible to obtain OEM parts for the 1 month needed to get it sorted for emissions testing.

> At that level you're already covering all your bills, paying for those vacations and investments and private school.

Sure. If you’re covering everything you need then another 50k/year probably lets you retire way earlier.

Or $50k/year post tax pays for about a million in housing. It would pay for an au pair if you have a small child. It’s enough to have a partner earning a very good salary to stop working and stay home.

> If I had kids (and I do), there's no way I would accept a 100K pre-tax raise if the tradeoff is having to spend a lot more time on the road away from home (as the example at the top of this thread stated).

Well yeah, I didn’t say that it’s a good trade off for you (or anyone else in particular). I said it’s a lot of money.

> but then if you’re going to throw out these cases you should also address how markets can fix these issues, such as great customer service

Markets don't care and they will not fix these issues, because suckers losing money is a much better market proposition than losing money on customer support.

Fo go ahead and learn some history, will you? Almost every single regulation we have in place is precisely because markets never ever fix things.
I agree with your comment, but disagree about the use of the word "misinformation". That word is clearly a propaganda tool used to suppress dissent, similar to "conspiracy theorist" or "white supremacist". If people are going to argue against views they don't approve of, they should do it fairly and not resort to what is essentially state-sponsored slander.
Health insurance premiums are between €125 - €150 / month here.
I've noticed organizations with lots of tech debt promote exactly the people that created the problem in the first place.

Giving that group a big budget and autonomy to fix the issue is like paying tobacco company to cure your lung cancer.

> Thanks, Obama.

Yes, thanks for getting the only legislation passed in the past 30+ years that expanded access to healthcare.

FYI, ACA is what made it possible for people to even purchase healthcare coverage without an employer. And also, taxpayer funded healthcare (“public option”) was preferred by the Obama administration, but had to be whittled down to meet the compromises needed since there was basically zero support from across the aisle.

The tax benefits of health coverage via employers is a separate matter, and while it should have been addressed, I am not surprised nor would I blame Obama for that, since it was already hard enough to get what we currently have passed.
But I guess the answer still stands, from investor(especially regular investor) point of view, where can you park your money that is likely to generate return on part/slightly higher than inflation, while not investing into too high risk assets?

The parent is referring to known condition vs an unknown emergency event.

As an analogy in the case above the car owner is having their insurance company pay for their gasoline - where you are referring to an insurer paying for a car accident.

Yes. What would be interesting is if you could use an a-priori available font (system font), and combine it with a website-provided font metrics file. That way, you can render visible text immediately, and then later render the correct font without layout change.
>Technically, you can pin this on undersupply

Well said overall, but the supply of doctors isn't the issue here (regardless of if it's a separate, bigger problem).

1) This case is what mid-levels are ideally suited for. Routine and can be seen within a day or two. Would have moved the whole timetable forward.

2) It's the supply of doctors participating in any given insurance plan or govt reimbursement scheme, not overall supply.

It's pretty easy to find a doctor to see same-day if you pay cash (either straight cash or front cash and submit your own reimbursement).

Which is itself more an issue about regulation being so burdensome and costly that doctors can't afford it without joining a large group or hospital owned practice. Especially the cost of required electronic records.

Which is why it seems like all the small private practices are being bought out by hospitals. Because they either are, or their docs are retiring, or they are opting out of all insurance and govt plans and going concierge/prepaid/membership/cash-only.

What I'm curious about is #1: why couldn't this person get in to see a mid-level sooner? They rarely book more than a few days out.

It's exactly the type of issue that they are meant to help with to reduce demand on the doctors and get patients seen quicker. A routine refill without any nontypical complexities or changes to report.

Did approval specifically require a physician? That would be more of a system problem that needs resolving.
It's very hard to draw parallels from cryptocurrencies to other things as it's not like other things we have today.

Some sort of analogy could be margin calls/puts. Imagine someone who doesn't know how margin trading works used it, and lost half a million dollars. Who's at fault here? The bank for allowing it, the financial system for having the feature or the user for not educating themselves enough to understand how it works?

The criticism of supporting python2 is fair, but not unassailable. I am personally against steady progress necessarily breaking in advancing increments things that worked years ago. My opinions on software are my own, but I strongly believe if software works even once, there's no reason it shouldn't work forever. I despise Adobe's and now Apple's models of breaking your old software to force you to purchase again for identical functionality. But I suppose it is a different case when developers are actively working against each other. However, python2 was only recently deprecated. Just because I can't think of an example, it is still likely being used, and there may be 20yo but still useful hw somewhere that does not support any recently released OS or software but is still a worthy youtube-dl utility. Maybe the critics of supporting old versions of python can wait.
Agreed, although there exists the problem where it's a lot easier to produce bullshit than refute it. Perhaps it's just a reality we must contend with.
I agree, and changed the reference to "claimed misinformation".
