In the US, the mother being on Medicaid is highly correlative with them and/or the child being on other public benefits. On the micro level (an individual birth), it implies nothing other than they were eligible for Medicaid. On the macro level ("nearly half of births") it implies a lot more.

When health-care is universally tax-payer funded, the differential between the free-market unregulated premium you would pay for what you get and what you actually pay in taxes for it represents the net public benefit you've extracted. If you earn nothing, then odds are you can't afford health care even though you get it.

I see your point. The disagreement I have is I would not at all consider copilot as putting MSFT into the evil empire category yet. While it was very unnerving for the ownership to change, MSFT has really had a pretty hands-off approach on Github.

I touched on it, but I still see this for-profit model as being compatible with FOSS. Specifically, make it free to FOSS so that those professional software developers then move to adopt the same platform at their private companies. There are lots of examples of for-profit companies that provide free-to-foss platforms.

For example, just considering code scanners, Codacy, CodeClimate, Snyk, LGTM, all used by this project and all have the same for-profit model (but free to FOSS). We also use 'install4j', which has the same free-for-foss model and is a for-profit company.

I think the heart of it is the argument that MSFT is going to expand that for-profit model and leverage data in a way that violates FOSS licenses? Is copilot an example of that? Should this all be taken to the extreme and declare that MSFT is the evil empire for this and by extension so is Github?

> Gold has an advantage of cryptocurrency in that you can actually store it.

The vast majority of gold investors are not physically storing it on their own property. Most invest through funds, derivatives, ETFs, etc. If civilization collapses to the point the Internet can no longer support a peer-to-peer network moving 1 MB every 10 minutes, then it's almost certainly the case that you won't be able to sell your GLD stock at NASDAQ.

The point being that while some gold investment demand may be as an armageddon hedge, the behavior of most investors is not consistent with that being the central driving factor. Ergo gold has utility as a store of value for macro conditions that fall short of civilization and the Internet collapses.
> Actual originalism is impossible...

In an absolutely pure form? Sure, but that's true of most good things (e.g. justice). That doesn't mean the concept is bad or that shouldn't be pursued to the greatest degree possible, especially when the alternative is to have someone interpret the law like Humpty Dumpty when it suits them (https://www.fecundity.com/pmagnus/humpty.html).
I have all the pains of a sedentary life spent huddled over a keyboard - heart attacks, slipped discs, all of it.

Come on, everybody knows this is not true.
On the other hand it might take multiple thefts to learn the lesson for some people. When I was a kid/teenager, someone stole my bike and the police found it(yay small town) abandoned several blocks away. Of course it took my sister and brother-in-law pretending to steal it for me to really learn.

> Daycare: children used to be tended to by family members or religious communities. Now we isolate ourselves from family by moving far away, don't join communities (religious or otherwise), and for whatever reason don't ask mom and dad for help with the kids. Also, the age at which we trust children to stay at home without supervision has risen over time. These are all choices we're making that make children much more expensive.

It used to also be fairly common for the mother of the children to be tending to them, until the more recent trend of the mother working and paying someone else to do it. Gets especially expensive when there's more than one child.

It was also more common for the mother to be married when having children [1], which helps allow for that.

The totals are a little misleading because there is partisan gerrymandering on both sides, so they somewhat balance each other out. Courts have also been highly involved in rejecting the most brazenly disproportionate maps, but that may soon change next year due to the newly constituted Supreme Court.

The bigger problem is that it incentivizes partisanship and extremist views in uncompetitive districts because the representative is effectively decided in the party’s primary election, not the general election which has higher turnout and a more representative electorate.

Also the fact that 90%+ of congressional seats are safe except for the occasional primary opponent discourages accountability. Our districts are so distorted, they make no geographic sense. And it means a large percentage of our population is permanently disenfranchised, which dampens voter participation. It really is one of the biggest structural problems of our democracy right now.

The irrelevant South African fringe usage was also already mentioned in the comment I was responding to (hence your repetition of it bringing zero new information) but of no interest to me (unless you believe that Arabic is a widespread language in South Africa), hence me not referring to it.

It does (or at least can) improve a bandwidth of any give satellite due to load balancing.

Let's say you're in SF, served by a satellite that is currently over SF.

You're talking to a server in NY.

Your data has to go up to a satellite and come down from satellite to a base station.

Currently this uses 2x bandwidth for this one satellite.

But let's say SF satellite is maxed out but there currently is a satellite over Nevada desert with a spare capacity.

With inter-satellite links and proper routing, your data could go up in SF and come down in Nevada dessert, making more bandwidth available in SF.

The satellites have a full coverage of US area but there are large parts of land where there's very little use of available bandwidth.

If SpaceX builds enough base station scattered around US, they could almost 2x the bandwidth available in areas with high density of customers.

I'll add another one: we also have lower cholesterol.

And our heart related incidents and cancer incidence is going up.

Sure, survival rates may be better, as the article points, but the problems are getting worse.

It's not even hard to make the link that maybe it's really a diet issue and we should be eating more meat and fats and less carbs - exactly the opposite of what 50 years of brainwashing by the USDA (and whoever is paying their bill) recommended.

> To be fair, you can do this with judges on both sides of the partisan divide.

At the supreme court level? Yes, because it takes 4 votes to chose which case gets cert and we have 6 activist justices that want to completely rewrite jurisprudence for political gain. How are the liberal justices supposed to vote when the questions often being asked are now "Hey, should we overrule this long standing precedent for political motivations?"

However, standard jurisprudence isn't nearly this bad in the federal court level. The outcomes there can be far more difficult to predict based on who appointed them.

> It's good and appropriate to recognize that the Court is a fundamentally political institution and not some mere interpreter of law, and being distressed over that implies that the Court could be some idealized, nonpolitical institution. That's not a useful way to model the Court and never has been.

While I don't disagree, unfortunately the constitution was setup with the notion that the SC would be above political divide (hence, being unelected and having lifetime appointments.)

I certainly wouldn't mind some sort of constitutional amendment trying to address that. Though, I just don't see it as likely.
I'm not aware of a consumer product. The authors of the paper started this company: https://www.infinite-cooling.com/. It looks like it's targeting industrial processes (cooling towers) where the collection efficiency is really high. Makes sense, why do B2C when you can do B2B w/ million dollar contracts...

I'm personally looking into making something that can continually top up something like a 500 gallon water tank every night (when humidity is high) on a residential property. These tanks are prevalent in the drought-stricken, coastal community I live in. You need about 2200 gallons/person/month, of which only 15 gallons/person/month is used for drinking water. So if you can continually collect water throughout the month and have the space for a tank (about the size of a truck bed) then it should be possible to supply most of your water usage off the grid and in a way that isn't draining reservoirs.
> 82% of people who suffer from blood clots, sat for a significantly greater amount of time than the remaining 18%.

What? So of the group, who all had blood clots, a load of them sat more than the others? I'm struggling to draw a firm conclusion from that. What are you comparing that ratio to? If you picked a group of 100 people at random and found out how long they sat for, do you think it is likely or unlikely that 80% of the group sat more than the other 20%? If I bought 1,000 apples, and their size had a normal distribution, I could cut that distribution whether I want and thereby show that 80% of them are larger than the remaining 20%. I could say it and I would be right, but I've demonstrated nothing significant.
Transfers can be dirt cheap with normal money (e.g.: Single Euro Payment Area), and your banking system can be transparent enough (the US one already is), if your regulating body cares about it. The average individual neither can change it, nor cares. If many people can’t help themselves but get fleeced, as happened recently on a large scale in the crypto space, at best you can struggle to recreate regulatory agencies in some kludgey crypto form. Most egregiously, all this is still worse than pointless, because the true differential value-add in crypto comes from enabling value flows for undesirable activities like crime, and it’s only possible thanks to horrible incentive system that rewards wasting energy.
Why? Where’s the synergy?
Go worked quite well…
I very much doubt whether the MIT Press Office cares about what Hacker News thinks of their brand. What they do care about is what Sarah J. Student's parents think when they are trying to encourage their progency to attend Harvard vs Yale vs Stanford. And positive press is good towards achieving that mission, even if it is a bit click-baity. And since all universities are playing this game to one degree or another, it's asking quite a lot for one univesity to unilaterally agree to disarm.

The other "brand" that universities care about is the their reputation by their professor's peers when it comes to hiring the best talent for their departments, and with the granting agencies who are deciding which research proposals they should fund. And here, what matters is the peer-reviewed publications at various academic journals and conferences. Whether a university's press office puts out a press release, which then gets mangled by various newspapers, doesn't really have negative or positive effect when it comes to how a university's research work is measured by the People Who Really Matter --- namely, other professors and the people who dispense the cash. Hacker News falls into neither of these two categories.
> Bit of a sleight of hand there

No, you are the one who shifted your ground, not me. You started out arguing that calling a tail a leg doesn't make it one--but you only applied that argument (incorrectly, in my opinion, but that's beside the present point) to the SCOTUS decision you didn't like, not to the EPA rulemaking you liked. Then, when I called you on it, you retreated to the argument that the EPA is just exercising its authority--which applies just as much to SCOTUS. So make up your mind: are you going to base your position on actual logic, common sense, and the plain meaning of words, or on government entities exercising their authority no matter what?

> I'm criticizing the Court's decision, because it's an incoherent and ideologically motivated decision.

I disagree that it is, since it's just pointing out that Congress didn't intend to delegate to the EPA the sweeping authority to restructure the entire energy sector of the economy, even if we accept that CO2 is a "pollutant" for the sake of argument. The statute does not give the EPA authority to regulate pollutants however it wants. It only gives it the authority to do so in certain ways.

That said, however, I'm criticising the EPA's rulemaking on the same grounds that you are criticizing the SCOTUS decision: that it's incoherent and ideologically motivated. Any such criticism presupposes that just because a government entity has the formal authority to do something, doesn't make it right. So it is no answer to my criticism to say that the EPA was just exercising its authority.
Cool, thanks - that seems to be a popular request. I think we'll build that next.
It's interesting you say these things because it's exactly how the right views the left, and it's exactly what they say about them! Just an observation, and an interesting one.

> Well it's always seemed pretty cut and dry that the whole "abortion" controversy is largely a religious crusade and that anyone pretending to favor the constitution would call it mixing church and state.

This is not at all true. Yes, there are lots of Christians that don't support abortion. Yet, there are many Jews that do and specifically cite their religion.

While religion may influence worldview, the fundamental abortion question comes down to the fact that the Constitution does not define when a person becomes a Person. I think the recent legal ruling was proper because of the specific omission of abortion in the enumeration of federal powers.

This EPA decision, however, I think is wrong, because the major question doctrine cannot be consistently applied and is constitutionally baseless so far as I can tell.

Edit: forgot to write:

> There's a long and storied history of things being in conflict with the constitution and justices simply not caring.

I imagine everyone thinks this about some things. I agree with your assessments of bad precedents above, but conservatives aren't the only ones that do this. FDR threatened to pack the court to get his way with the New Deal and the Wager Act, which included things I believe are unconstitutional such as Social Security, Minimum Wage, Medicare, etc.
There are already salt flats in Utah that are basically "hyper saline slurry". Death valley (https://www.nps.gov/places/badwater-basin.htm) in California wouldn't be particularly worse if we dumped "hyper saline slurry" into it. We could also barrel it and put it into the ground.

There is also always the refinement approach to create 1. table salt (possibly even paying industries like restaurants, commercial cooking, etc to take it); 2. lithium mining.

This slurry might also turn into an asset at scale. Maybe for building roads. Maybe for concrete. Maybe for bricks. We will not really know until we have the surplus, and economic incentive to research it.
I was excited by Hathora and sat down to integrate it into a project I’m working on, only to find that it only supports Websockets.

Given the inherent latency of using TCP-based messaging, it feels odd to advertise this as being good for real time games.

I see that UDP is on the roadmap, so that’s good. Will you support WebRTC for building low latency real time gaming experiences on the web?

So, which government body is currently in charge of carbon pollution generated by power plants. Does this also go back to the states where each state has its own discretion to decide what is excessive or acceptable pollution generated by a power plant.
No, I strongly disagree. If elected representatives cannot agree on what is proper policy and pass it as law, I for one do not want some nameless bureaucrats be the ones calling the shots. Unelected bureaucrats creating policy as they wish, unconstrained by what the law actually says, is what actually is undemocratic.

Look, even as there might be general agreement among the people to fight climate change, there might be little to no agreement among the people as to how to actually proceed doing that. Because of this, you cannot say that blocking EPA here is undemocratic, because “ majority of the US population wants regulations to fight climate change”: it is very much untrue that majority of people want the exact policy that EPA tries to introduce, and have it be executed by EPA. It’s like saying that majority of US population want regulations to improve their commute times, so SCOTUS cannot block DoT from eminent-domaining land through cities and building 10 lane highways on it. Some people want that, sure, but others want more trains or zoning regulations to improve walkability, and there is no majority agreement here on the details of the policy. You certainly don’t want unelected bureaucrats with no accountability to voters be deciding major issues like that.
Allowing anybody to retrieve your residential address and full name from your e-mail address, phone number or IP is a breach of privacy and confidentiality, if you don't consider that a security issue then perhaps you should reconsider your threat model.

You cannot trust third parties to keep data safe, regardless of vague terms in the Privacy Policy which speculatively could allow them to post your passport photo, cellphone, email & home address on a billboard in the middle of times square - that would still be a breach of confidentiality.
Big companies are not using actual printed paper money directly. Cash, like Bitcoin, is great for peer to peer transactions, but too slow and impractical for the population to all use end to end for all daily transactions.

Companies like McDonalds operate on credit via privately owned payment rails because ACH and cash are way too slow. Even when it takes cash that cash is not physically shipped to a bank vault at McDonalds HQ but instead local restaurants make cash drops to other private companies, banks, that then take possession of the cash and use their own private network to credit a remote account.

Even tax payment portals allow use of the payment rails of private companies because paper USD is too impractical.

Still, the fixed supply of federal reserve issued USD is what all these magic third party payment rails create an abstracion layer for.

No one Bitcoin advocate that knows how it works is saying Bitcoin will be used -directly- for daily commerce. Even in El Salvador venmo-like apps have emerged that batch Bitcoin transactions and use credit, much like Visa does to abstract slow ACH or cash.

These proprietary credit systems defeat a lot of the point of Bitcoin though, so open off-chain credit systems like Lightning exist. My local Coffee shop accepts Lightning which in short allows us to just continually cancel and re-issue signed Bitcoin transactions off-chain we never publish until one of us needs to settle which in some cases could be years, and that is fine.

Unlike Visa, the benefits of credit solutions like Lightning are available to all replacing KYC and credit checks with cryptography.

Also going back to your point about taxes, several states have serious efforts to get Bitcoin permitted for tax payment: https://www.deseret.com/2022/2/8/22918061/wyoming-arizona-bi...
