One thing at a time! I don't even think that most people are even on board with the idea that big government might not be the answer to all of our problems - most people like the way government is acting!

Things that I think should be mandatory is a lot more freedom of information. I'm absolutely not a fan of gatekeepers of information (eg the media) nor of any policies to manage 'misinformation'. At the present we don't even know what we don't know..

Given government is purportedly working for us, surely it should be the case that the info that is collected and gathered should be freely available to all of us, that would be great start. Eg with the covid info, why is this not available in real time to us all? What information does the government use to base their decisions on?

I think it is a small and simple step to take (provide information immediately) so we can see wtf is even going on. Let's also stop this 'misinformation' mud slinging, but level ourselves up to try to make sense of whatever info there is.

Re the point about private property. I love the way indigenous American tribes did not even have that concept. But, if we were to implement that, all that would happen is that no one would care. I'm totally fine with people owning property that they use.

I would approach this problem differently. If I were king (and obv. I'm not!) I would make all ownership fully traceable back to the specific individuals. Because, in fact, individuals are all that matters! Corporations/Trusts/Offshore arrangement/etc are just bits of legal paper, concepts. If we knew who owned what, I suspect that this would illuminating. Again, this would be just an information gathering exercise. I'm sure there would be lots of issues with that! but again, in the first place, all I'd want to do is have the information.

In general, I'm most interested in a calculated rollback away from monolithic institutions towards the individual. The general direction of travel is entirely the opposite though - and accelerating!
> The young should not pay for the healthcare of the elderly.

Why?
I think that the market looks for the next fed put level.

I.e at what point the administration tell the FED that enough is enough. Until this happens it would just go down.
> The young should not pay for the healthcare of the elderly.

The same way responsible drivers should not pay for reckless ones? Or responsible homeowners shouldn't pay for reckless ones?

The whole idea of insurance is to distribute the costs so that no one has to bear long tail costs alone...
"In 2018 a whistleblower told me about a new satellite thruster that used mercury, the poisonous liquid metal, as a propellant, and that it would inevitably fall back to earth when used, thus beginning my Space Lawyer arc. The company that designed it was in the process of selling the tech to big space companies: SpaceX, OneWeb, etc., who were in the planning stages of putting new "megaconstellations" of 10,000s of satellites into orbit. Every one of these satellites has 20-100kg of propellant onboard, which is ionized and expelled over time to do orbital correction and scoot around up there. Mercury is heavy, which means that it gives you a lot of Δ(v) per unit of propellant used, it isn't explosive, you don't have to heat it as much as other fuels to stay liquid, and it's cheap because nobody wants it.

It's also a powerful bioaccumulative neurotoxin!"

Barring eliminating long standing (pre-statehood) water rights and the entire system (likely not to happen) they probably just need to pay these plantation owners not to grow stuff.
You’re just arguing that dominant groups should never face criticism or contend with outside perspectives?

Sovietwomble has had a stable following (and even growing) for years. He doesn’t always stream, but yet he is very consistent in his timetable. He hardly loses many people when he doesn’t stream for a while. The guy never goes on holiday though, but not because he fears losing subs.

- Neither Linux nor Windows provide one, due to licensing costs

- Most browsers do not deem it worth the risk of relying on host software decoders, as the plug&play infrastructure behind them usually translates into "nobody feels responsible for patching anything" which translates into incalculable vulnerabilities

That leaves MacOS (why bother when Safari exists), iOS (dito), and Android (why bother when Android users don't spend money), and trying to use hardware codecs without stepping on patents enough to make lawyers smell blood (why bother).
I used KeyboardCleanTool but it didn't worked for me. What it does is to put an app window that captures keyboard events, but you can still press certain keys (like a lock screen shortcut in the touch bar) to by-pass it. Many times what I did is to open vi in the terminal... and it does the same without the extra app.

This is true, but remember that averages can be misleading. Available water is a very spiky graph [1]. Reservoirs balance it out some, but cities need and can afford reliable water, so backup sources are good, even if they're expensive.

I seriously doubt this is intentional. It sounds like a bug. I use FF with privacy protection set to strict and a couple ad/tracking blocking plugins (uBlock Origin, DDG). I run into similar redirect bugs fairly often but the same sites will work with everything disabled. I'm leaning towards Waterfox and Pale Moon are enabling some security/privacy features by default that vanilla FF doesn't causing a redirect doom loop. If I understand OP's post correctly it doesn't seem like these browsers are receiving a message saying they were blocked but getting stuck on the page.

This argument makes no sense. If you're really interested in "selecting the best option", there can always be a federal option complementing state "experiments".
Yes that's one of the goals, and CRDTs are pretty much built for this. Also, browsers are starting to support Progressive Web Apps (PWAs), which enables the websites/apps themselves to be opened while offline.

Actually having an adult discussion about safety tradeoffs at scale in this day and age of "but if it even saves one life" isn't possible. You simply can't go on record having acknowledged that tradeoffs even exist. Wherever you draw the cost:benefit line, no matter how generous, someone will try and make you look like the bad guy for not setting it a little more conservatively.

And that's why they talked about charger cables and not the oil spewing elephant in the room.
^^^ this. Plus you’re probably going to have to render the JSON you send on the server and then rerender it as HTML on the client plus send the code amd template to do that too.

Also I know there’s the promise of sharing code between the front and backend but the reality is that you’re probably more likely to reimplement one or the other and then have to keep them in sync.

The overhead for doing it just the once on the backend and sending compressed HTML over the wire is pretty low for a small team in comparison.

Part D is federal subsidies for private insurance, the companies that offer those plans choose what drugs to cover and negotiate prices and so on.

If you don't want private companies to be involved in that coverage that's fine, but the whole Medicare can't negotiate prices is such a weak talking point, obfuscating the issue for cheap points.
Elections are coming up.
Only because people are conditioned to only seek medical attention when it's absolutely necessary, because it's too expensive to be proactive even with insurance.

As far as I understood it, Fly.io hired the person working on Litestream and pays them to keep working on Litestream.
Project loom is about deprecating "non-blocking" and "reactive" as a concept. The whole point is to just let the code block.
Actually, the median American has access to exceptional care.

What is actually the case is that care available to the bottom quartile of Americans is below the care received on average in a top-tier universal care nation, and the US spends an absolute fortune delivering this quartile with substandard care.

We also spend a bit more than average providing exceptional care to everyone else, except that we also spend a truly ludicrous amount (compared with every place on earth except possibly Japan, which is still less than us but not quite as much less) on care for roughly everybody above the median during the last year of life, because we have baked some very expensive decisions in as the default (basically, if you don't specifically ask otherwise, you will get absolute treatment maximalism basically until 30 days from death)

You can't design a city for both walking and bicycles. You can only make compromises between them. The slow Dutch bicycles are still 2.5x to 3x faster than the average pedestrian, which makes them convenient for distances most people would not consider walkable. If most people are comfortable with using bicycles over such distances, it encourages a more spread out urban structure.

People often use bicycles in cities because they are convenient and as fast as or faster than driving a car or using public transport. That is the reason why bicycles should be grouped with other vehicles and not with walking.
Having a bunch of (medicare-covered) retirees (with no school-age kids) spending their (taxable) social security income in NY / CA sounds pretty great. Much better than losing them to Florida or Arizona. Bonus if the states get to tax their estates in the end.
Can confirm. Desoxyn is the only stimulant that works for me. Other stimulants usually do less in terms of positive effects _and_ have more side effects. Vyvanse was probably my second best so far, though it was still unpleasant and if I didn't land on Desoxyn, I'm not sure I would be putting up with Vyvanse. Adderall was a fucking hell.
There is nothing stopping NY employers now from just giving people enough cash to buy a plan on the ACA marketplace. You're assuming this upcoming plan will have offerings employees will want, and charges employers whether or not this is the case.

I do not think anybody is thinking of corn fields here. But replacing spruce, plaintaint and ornamental chestnut with cherry trees, walnuts and edible chestnut. Instead of having fireball, rhododendron or snowball hedges planting black berries, currants and maybe elderberries. And finally giving families a small allotment garden where they can grow some vegetable. Besides that, it's easily possible (as in: I have done that) to harvest enough chili & pepper from June to December to supply one person via one 1m wide office window. Cities will never be food independent but can definitely reduce their food import by 15-20 %

Thanks for the link to this. Fascinating documentary. Lost art & craft of printmaking. When writing LaTeX I often thought about how it translates to traditional typesetting using linotypes. The terminology in digital typesetting has its roots from that craft.

Side Note: I could have started my working life in newsprint as when I were a lad, just out of school in the late 70's and being mad keen on radio and electronics, I applied for a job (didn't get it) as a teleprinter technician at the local newspaper (Doncaster Free Press). These were the electro-mechanical teletypes running 24/7 to capture news "on the wires". I thought I'd be in with a shot as I had my own Creed 7B clacking away in my bedroom - when allowed by my long suffering, but enabling parents!
Depending on how you define "account", that can be quite reasonable. In a B2B application, each business customer could get their own SQLite database, and the number of SQLite connections would likely be quite manageable, even though some customers have many users.

You may not have an explicit rand(), but with the ligatures & substitution rules, you can add so much context sensitivity that no one will ever spot any duplications.

That's how you can do things like https://litherum.blogspot.com/2019/03/addition-font.html https://pagedout.institute/download/PagedOut_002_beta2.pdf#p... https://aftertheflood.com/journal/the-worlds-first-code-free... https://www.coderelay.io/fontemon.html (most of these will work in a browser). I've also suggested that you can create 'prank fonts' which add in subtle typos sporadically.

Less evilly, this is what calligraphy handwriting fonts do to get convincing variation.
It needs to be part of all of them, but you can't do it meaningfully in any one of those steps, because you don't have a working product to actually show the customer until the end.
One of America's best ideas. Laboratories of democracy. Maybe it works.. maybe not. But the rest of us learn from whatever happens.
But it's also crazy that your access to healthcare is based on how the government prioritizes your need of it.

I agree with the idea of public healthcare, but not as a legislated monopoly. And that's true for government services generally. Monopolies don't benefit anyone except the monopolist, and competition makes everyone stronger. If the government wants to use it's buying and borrowing power (and maybe even taxation to the extent voters tolerate it) to provide a universal healthcare option, that's a big win. But if they want to push out other market participants in the name of some kind of fairness - well instead of having two-tier healthcare, everyone is on the bottom tier

Where I live, the sewer charges for the year are based off of your water usage during the coolest, wettest months of the year in winter. My water usage (3 person household) is about 80% higher in the 3 hottest summer months. The rest of the year, there is no need to water anything unless you planted a completely inappropriate landscape or you enjoy seeing your money runoff into the storm sewers.

I pulled my figures for the past year. We used approx 36,000 gallons in household use and 9,000 gallons in irrigation/outdoors use. Effectively, my lawn is equivalent to one additional person living in our home.
