It would be great if they could handling things already successfully resolved in other places, like Balance Billing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balance_billing#United_States

When I was with a Virginia employer, it was WYSIWYG on billing. In NY, you never know since there is the co-pay, and then there is the surprise 2nd bill that comes in the mail. It is a solved problem, not sure why such obvious solved problems cannot be implemented in NY.

"A smaller Empire State: New York continues to lead nation in population decline"

The population flight is primarily for US-born residents, which is what happened in CA as well.
> In Texas, the mandate for the supremacy of roads comes via the state constitution, which requires that highways are funded to the exclusion of almost anything else that moves people around. About 97% of the $30bn a year the state gives its transportation department is spent on highways, leaving very little for buses, trains or bicycles. This focus is etched into the stone of the department’s headquarters, which is named the State Highway Building, a title carved above a triptych of native Americans on a horse, a pioneer wagon and a car.

Take note of this. Many major society-scale problems aren't innocent accidents or unfortunate coincidence, but are the product of millions, billions, or hundreds of billions of dollars of annual funding, and thousands upon thousands of workers employed by corporations and megacorporations, working full time to create, sustain, and protect the problem, for the profit and growth of the corporation. Solving these problems is hard because there are extremely powerful and well-entrenched institutions whose existence depends on these problems not being solved.
I don't think you'd be able to find Desoxyn outside of the US (and ever here it's incredibly rare to get it prescribed & then also successfully fill it at a pharmacy). Most of the EU has negative attitudes towards ADHD meds, especially immediate release ones. AFAIK, the only amphetamine many countries have is Vyvanse, because it's XR and "abuse resistant". I was actually doing some research about whether I will be able to keep getting Desoxyn if I move back outside of the US (anywhere, really) and the answer seems to be a NO. I think NZ/AU might have a special scheme for giving a person an exception when other treatments have failed, but that's about it.

As far as I can tell, everyone and their dog has been saying to buy crypto since crypto hit $10k a second time in 2020

Regardless, I think the crypto bubble is just a reflection of central bank money printing. If they do resume QE (which we're not sure will actually happen), then you can expect crypto prices to rise again

From what you said, it sounds like there are already several things that are making you miserable and that could be addressed in a retrospective.

First, remind each other about the intended purpose of a retrospective, and compare this with how you conduct your retrospectives. Read up on what retrospectives are intended to be. Notice any discrepancies with your retrospectives.

Second, talk about what it would take to make retrospectives a useful event. Maybe, agree that you don't discuss things that are out of your control. Or maybe have a retrospective specifically addressing the things that are outside your immediate control, and ask your scrum master to figure out ways to bring at least some of them under your control. After all, that is scrum master's role, not the micromanagement of the team.

Third, if your retrospectives are an irredeemable waste of time, and there is no way to improve them, agree within your team that you will stop having them. This is probably a last resort — but it's better than to waste your time.

The "cannot escape" part is where physics disagrees with metaphysics. The latter believes that there's 'absolute existence' that creates and uses reality as a crutch or a mirror to learn walking.

If there was an AI, it would encounter the same problem: it exists in some indescribable form, but it cant touch itself, it cant see itself, it cant understand itself. So it would create a 'reality' - also a fictional thing, but with properties such as inertia, reaction and invariance (the three laws of Newton), and then it would constrain itself with that reality, so it would feel real. After that it would start building fictional sandcastles and understand itself.

The electronics industry is sleeping on the job, because they have not defined standard sizes for consumer grade lithium batteries (that means with an inbuilt protection circuit). All headphones, etc. should be using standard batteries.

I have just replaced a battery on my laptop, it completely failed after 2.5 years of use - they are a consumable, not a durable good. All headphones, gaming mice, etc. are headed straight for the landfill when their battery fails, it is impractical to replace that inbuilt lipo cell as it has custom size and shape, etc.

I buy devices with replaceable batteries whereever possible.

They implemented their own complete design flow for flexible TFT. That's pretty cool. I'm not so sure there's a real use case for a 70 KHz flex 6502. Is "for IoT" the new "for developing countries", a shorthand for "we don't have a practical or profitable niche for this yet"? Cheap IoT SoCs already have great processors for very competitive prices.
> I think people react here because of the term “burn out”. It’s usually used when you’ve been under high stress for a longer period and you completely collapse and is unable to do any work.

Yeah you're probably right, though it's so annoying when people can't contextualize the usage of terms like "burn out" -- what's "high stress" or "a longer period?" Isn't that subjective?

> Losing motivation for a project and moving over to new things is very different from a burn out.

Is it though? I googled "burnout" and got "Burnout is a form of exhaustion caused by constantly feeling swamped." If someone says the reason they are taking a break is because they are burned out, who is anyone to say that's not what they're experiencing?

If you've heard of Chinese water torture, it's one little drop at a time over a long period of time -- seems entirely plausible that 24 years of being in non-stop curation mode could make someone feel exhausted and constantly swamped.

meme stocks are just a segment of a market, more riskier one of course, but still a part of the market

I lived overseas for a bit somewhere where you have to have an RO filter to drink from the tap. Nearly every filter on the market has mineral restoration packs which I think help with that bland water RO taste. One of the servicemen who changed our filters once warned us that the calcium in our purifier was so low that our bones would lose calcium. While I don’t know if I believe it, it was interesting to learn that minerals in drinking water can benefit health

I kind of miss making coffee with water out of that purifier though, it tasted noticeably better

Stories that won in the past. Has anything come of the investigations into Trump's taxes, criminal inquiries, or connections with Russian interference?

Staffs of The New York Times and The Washington Post
For deeply sourced, relentlessly reported coverage in the public interest that dramatically furthered the nation’s understanding of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and its connections to the Trump campaign, the President-elect’s transition team and his eventual administration.

Bitcoin market cap is $600bn today. Total value of all gold in the world is about 9.6tn. The crypto shills are trying to push the idea that Bitcoin can replace gold.
The last few years was a perfect storm of stupidity:

- The Fed juicing the market (and not stopping when it should have, dismissing inflation concerns as transitory, etc.)

- Covid stimulus going to people who didn't need it

- People spending that stimulus money to invest (often for the first time) on zero-fee platforms like Robin Hood

- Meme stock investors intentionally manipulating stock prices to cause them to diverge from the underlying value of the company

Despite all of that, people who bought and held a total market or S&P 500 index fund in 2020 have still made gains.
People often claim there will be some kind magic "visual editor" that can produce the same level of visually styled web pages as an actual programmer, but IMO there will never be such a thing. Maybe because it is a visual exercise it gets easily trivialized, but CSS is a full on programming language and you need to understand its properties and functionality to make full use of it.

It's easy to get something looking similar-ish to your design with a visual editor, at a single screen size.... But then you have to start thinking about how things are actually positioned, where they will be anchored when the window is a different size, or the content a different length, or how it will respond to a user interaction or a given state- and then you're back to CSS programming again.

EG If you don't on some level understand the difference between absolute and relative positioning you might not be able to achieve your design properly (and this applies to many properties, not just positioning). So now "absolute" and "relative" must get added as options to the visual editor, and the users have to on some level understand these terms or behaviors to use them. As you learn in this way about CSS directly and approach CSS literacy, (I think) you'll likely prefer the flexibility in writing it yourself over searching a hugely bloated proprietary interface with a different button for every attribute.

There may be some value in small assistance tools like box shadow generators and visual editors, but overall I don't think it's reasonable to assume a non-technical no-code user will ever be able to produce the level of customization that a technical user can, at least with our current implementation of CSS styling.
The TypeScript compiler follows the “monofile” approach
Yes, that's why people who harp about debt-to-GDP ratio are usually ignorant of the fiscal multiplier. That said not all spending is the same. Spending on reforms or infrastructure that people benefit from (so things that help to make structural changes in the economy eg. by decreasing income inequality) has a large fiscal multiplier, spending on yet another useless thing (let's say paying Amazon - by giving it a tax break - to move its HQ from A to B) does nothing.
Rent is not tax, what an absurd comment.
Switzerland has private insurance just like the US and people I know that live in Zurich love it.
Not sure about that. It would be smarter to just failure test your apps. Once you cross some threshold, you scale. Lots of companies build formulas costing out their cloud spend based on infra needs and failure tests.

It's because the NIH limits the amounts of medical residencies in the country, and to become a doctor with a license to practice, you must have completed residency somewhere. The amount of doctors in the US are kept at low numbers because of this.

I actually did something very similar to this for an app that produced a lot of data. I wrote a small middleware that automatically figured out which shard to use so the app logic could pretend that it was all just one big db. The app ultimately ended up in the can so it never needed to scale, but I always wonder how it would have gone.

Not only is it insightful, but one that can be actively watched play out in the US with the 50-ish years morality war turning to a war for state voting control and supreme court power to overturn Roe. Watch as states try to out do each other within their purity spiral. What was once thought to be too extreme (no exceptions clauses, even to save the life of the living breathing human in front of them or criminal charges if you save the persons life anyway) is now a required hard line to prove their "moral purity".
From the summary of the bill:

> Private insurance that duplicates benefits offered under New York Health
could not be offered to New York residents.

My interpretation of that is that private insurance (which includes employer-based insurance) would be banned.
I’m with you, sibling. I mainly write TypeScript, React and RXJS these days. They’re good. But my favourite days are still the ones with a good chunk of CSS. It’s zen-like. I suspect it’s ‘cos I wrote a lot of CSS when I was younger: I know enough that looking up new or forgotten directives takes seconds; the problem space is clear; the feedback is quick (depending on build process) and tangible; and the results of the work make people happy.
These types of comments are made about traditional investments as well. It’s all about pumping out articles to get ad views.

I have to imagine having your service highly available (i.e. you need a failover machine) is far more likely to be the reason to need multiple machines than exhausting the resources on some commodity tier machine.
The point is, the apartment owner pays property tax and collect rent from tenants to pay for that. If property taxes go up, property owners raise rents to compensate. So the tenants are paying the property tax, albeit indirectly.

> Last year I paid 17% of my total income in taxes.

Was that in NYS? It doesn't take a lot of income to hit the state rate of 6.33%, everything after $80,651 filing alone, which isn't unusual downstate. You can add roughly 3.8% to that if you live in NYC and another 22% Federally, all just on income.
Crazy healthcare costs are the result of government intervention back in the 30s, and I’m doubtful they will actually be able to lower overall costs. Single payer has the advantage of being able to negotiate the costs for a much larger volume, but my guess it won’t be enough to cover the cost of bureaucrats to administer it.

Still I’m all for them trying it, if it fails miserably and the “free” healthcare leads to never being able to see the doctor and costing more, then everyone else can stop trying to emulate it. If it succeeds and actually saves money and still provides good healthcare, then we might be able to try it at a larger scale.
What do you mean by, "you won't pay anything"? The issue is that you pay taxes to _two_ countries on the same income because you can't shield the income from the US above the foreign earned income exclusion amount. Sorry if I'm misunderstanding you.
