Cue the Republican challenge arguing the state has exceeded its authority and this is a Federal issue (just like how Ajit Pai removed net neutrality saying it wasn't a Federal issue but then turned around and challenged California's net neutrality as being within the FCC's authority).

As for the NY bill, I'll be interested to see what this looks like. There are many variations on single-payer. For example, the NHS in the UK has many medical professionals (including primary care physicians) as government employees. In Australia, Medicare works by government rebate.

The other aspect will be how this will impact coverage out-of-state, employment coverage and employment insurance premiums.

You see many reactionaries argue "but it will raise taxes!". Welll... yes and no. You're already paying for your employer health insurance. This just shifts that cost to the government (sort of) but now health insurance isn't tied to employment.
> If you try using AV1 on a computer that didn't come with a hardware decoder for it, your machine will crawl.

My computer doesn't have a hardware decoder for AV1 (as shown by "vainfo"), yet AV1 videos play perfectly fine on it, both within the browser (including on Youtube) and outside it. Playing the AV1 demo (https://demo.bitmovin.com/public/firefox/av1/) on the browser at its maximum resolution uses only around half of the CPU.
> outside of yearly physicals

Yearly physical == check up. Same thing. Going to the doctor once a year for a general check that you aren't developing any issues that you weren't aware of yet and to monitor your health.

I don't have either. I haven't seen a doctor for about five years I think, under the NHS system.

If I phoned my NHS GP and said 'it's been a year I'd like you to generally check my physical health' they'd tell me to fuck off.

Yes. But hey, if you believe crypto is only going to ever goes up, as many crypto believers do, it makes a lot of sense to borrow against your coins rather than selling and facing a capital gains tax charge.

Borrow $90K against $100K worth of Bitcoin. Buy $90K more crypto, borrow $81K agains that, buy $81K worth more crypto. Rinse, repeat. Before you know it, you have 10:1 leverage and all your crypto is held with Nexo, or whatever shadey platform you're using that automates this.

Oh, and all this crypto being bought on leverage of course increases the volatility and pumps the price.
A startup I worked with that raised 20+ million in late 2019 filed for ppp and got 600k+.

if you can tolerate eventual consistency and have the disk/ram on the application vms, then sure, keeping the data and the indices close to the code has the added benefit of keeping request latency down.

downside of course is the complexity added in synchronization, which is what they're tackling here.

personally i like the idea of per-tenant databases with something like this to scale out for each tenant. it encourages architectures that are more conducive for e2ee or procedures that allow for better guarantees around customer privacy than big central databases with a customer id column.

We do this all the time. This is basic bayesian analysis. We make predictions on the probabilistic increase/decrease in events. When the evens occur at the predicted rates, we can attribute them, in aggregate, to the underlying theoretical causal factors.

If say, climate scientists were predicting a 5% decrease on rainfall over a 10 year period, and the rain completely stopped over that time, we could rightly say the hypothesis was bunk. However, to suggest that probabilistic causality is incompatible with scientific claims, I would say you need to need to re-read your philosophy of science.

Yes, you should always read a "very probably" with any claim of fact for any empirical claim (this is the problem of induction), but yes, you can say that "this weather event is (very probably) the result of climate change," if it fits in nicely with the probabilistic predictive model.
Most of the solutions fall into one of three categories

- they don't give users the amount of control they want because fundamentally, HTML and CSS together couple content and layout in a very programmer way... This is been a huge advantage for them as a user interface language because they create user interfaces that can work on many screen and window dimensions, but if you don't wrap your head around the layout algorithm, you're going to end up surprised.

- they try to give users the level of control over content and layout that users want, and the end result is extremely buggy

- they try to give users the level of control over content and layout that users want, and the end result is incredibly verbose and basically illegible HTML and CSS. This tends to cause problems down the road because it doesn't couple well with other tools and tends to cause problems later if somebody has to debug by hand or they want to move away from the tool used to originally create the page.

It's an extremely non-trivial problem to solve.

IMO the real issues caused by patent encumbered formats is that what is patented is not the software itself, but the format. So instead of patenting a specific implementation of an encoder or a decoder, what is patented here is the relationship between the bits on disk and the pixels on the screen. I think that's what the quoted text is trying to get at.

The quality of Canadian healthcare depends greatly on who is in the room having the discussion about it. If it's just my Canadian relatives discussing it, it's the worst healthcare system on Earth and too much of their taxes goes to funding something to provides garbage care. Once someone from the US enters the conversation, the quality of the Canadian healthcare system skyrockets. Things get really interesting when my cousins from Ontario who have lived in Florida for most of their adult lives get in the conversation since they're willing to call out both sides on their BS.

I'm not seeing that out of his comment. I see him saying we spend a ton of money, and there's the implication that we could be spending that money better/differently. That doesn't imply a zero-sum game. It does imply that the money available for health care is not unlimited. That's pretty much a fact, though.

I took two sabbaticals last decade, the first 6 months and the second about a year.

After the last, I started a new job full time for about a year, after which I transitioned to working just Monday - Wednesday (8 hour days). I'm in year 4 of this schedule. For me, I think this works better than full time and occasional sabbaticals. I have not approached anything near burn out.

The answer is: yes, you do have to write through a single primary application instance.

So far.

The two important things here are:

1. Fly.io makes it really easy to write through a single primary application instance

2. There are ways to solve this problem so your application doesn't have to worry about it.

Right now, you have to be a little careful bouncing app instances. If you bounce the writer, you can't perform writes for 15s or whatever. This is a big problem during deploys.

There are a tremendous number of Fly.io users that are fine with this limitation, though. It's pretty valuable for some segment of our customers right now.

> It will likely strain these systems even further, as reimbursements from Medicaid/Medicaid are insufficient to run large health systems which depend on higher rates from private insurers

Time ran an article a few years ago about hospital billing and whatnot. One of the things that they pointed out was that Medicare reimbursement rates were based on the actual cost to provide the service. If the problem is that Medicare doesn't pay enough extra to subsidize indigent care then having medicare-for-all would address that as it would reduce the number of uninsured.

> In NYC even more physicians and group practices will try to go to alternate models such as cash-only. Try being on Medicaid or Medicare and finding an outpatient psychiatrist in NYC now as it is. This will extend to more PCPs, chronic disease specialists, etc.

As opposed to what's already happening? Keep in mind that the southeast part of San Francisco already has relatively poor access to health care. A few years ago Sutter decided to revamp Saint Luke's hospital in Bernal Heights. St. Luke's used to be a community hospital where you'd go for primary and emergency care. Sutter changed that all up and stocked the offices almost exclusively with specialists (because that's where the money is).

> The US healthcare system, if you have private insurance, is the best in the world already in terms of level of service and access to rapid specialty and high-end care.

I'm sorry, what? Back when I had Blue Cross/Shield I had to book an ultrasound something like three months in advance. In San Francisco. At the time I was seeing a fee-for-service GP. If I'd wanted to switch to an in-network GP the wait at UCSF was like nine months. Finding a GP that takes both new patients and insurance was not easy – in fact I didn't as my GP was amazing.

The frustrating thing IMHO is that IP security cameras support H.264 and H.265, while browsers support H.264 and VP9/AV1. It's good that they have one codec in common, but I'd prefer they share a modern one.

I think much of it is geopolitical. Browser vendors are mostly in the West, can't just ignore the patents, and don't want to pay for the patents. Camera and chipset makers are mostly in China and simply ignore patents and licensing. (They don't honor LGPL/GPL conditions either.)
How do you incentivize smart people to go into cancer treatment instead of other careers? If they can't get rich treating cancer, talent will choose other fields where they can get rich.

That has nothing to do with my point, which is that Massachusetts has 98% coverage.

Neither the UK's monolithic NHS that combines single-payer insurance and (more or less) 100% free on delivery with no membership card, nor Canada's single-payer insurance with no legal private alternative, is the norm internationally. Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and the Netherlands all have Obamacare-like systems with dozens of competing private insurance plans with premiums. 30% copay is the norm in France's three separate government insurance plans. Australia has single-payer insurance but people are heavily incentivized to move to private plans. Etc., etc.
JIT never went away, why would it? It was never applied for parts sourced from overseas anyway. Where exactly inventory is best located depends on the particular supply chain and part, sometimes it's the middle sometimes it's somewhere else.

And the bear game is all about demand dynamics, primary demand is almost stable. All it takes to trigger the bullwhip effect is one stock out, and those are intentionally built into it.
Rationing is always a bad idea. It leads inevitably to mis-allocation, usually for corruption and political purposes. Rationing bureaucracies are never, ever able to manage the complexity of finding the best use of the resource.

What works is letting the price rise until demand equals supply. Then the market will allocate it to the most productive use.

Rationing == central economic planning, which never works.
If you have a use case with data that is extremely partitionable (like controlling individual industrial devices and collecting data to improve their performance or monitor the processes), then SQLite and Litestream could be a great option, but if you can't reasonably partition the data then it's probably better to use a centralized database server.

If chance of drought increases 10%, then you can say this drought is 10% likely to be caused by climate change.

If you observe 110 events and expected 100, you can say that this likely supports your theory.

For starters, x264/x265 are software video encoders, h264/h265 are the respective standards. AV1 is a standard, libaom is the reference software encoder.

H264 and h265 are patent encumbered, so depending what you are doing you need to pay royalties to use them. You are free to use AV1 with paying any royalties. Also, AV1 can deliver better quality video at the same bitrate compared to h264/h265 (at the expense of encoding time). This makes it useful for things like netflix where they can put lots of effort into encoding something once and then reap the bandwidth reduction reward for each person who watches it.
The economy was tanking, how long would it have taken to filter the deserving people? How many thousands of people would have fallen through the cracks?
