COBRA is for temporarily keeping employer provided healthcare after leaving a company and is basically a non-option except as a short term bridge to a new employer provided plan. I believe independent workers generally go to the health care exchanges and buy a private health care plan. Rates vary wildly by state, coverage details, and your age but I've recently looked in Washington state for midrange (silver) plans and they are around ~$400 a month (with no dependents).
What amazes me is how people are insensitive about other choices.
Their privacy policy very strongly suggests that they are the data processor only when the account owner (Publisher) provides the email address, which they call indirect subscription.

Direct subscribers are users who subscribed themselves via the Revue service. and the privacy policy says nothing about providing direct subscribers' private data to the Publisher.

Their closure announcement does not distinguish between the types of subscriber.

So either the Publisher is only getting the indirect subscribers' info (and isn't being told they are losing the direct subscribers) or the Publisher is getting direct subscriber info which the direct subscriber never agreed to allowing (unless that is a separate agreement from the privacy policy, in which case presumably some permission was indeed obtained).

It's not really surprising, the 3 big German automakers spent around 3 billion USD to buy (at least at the time) the best mapping product on the market.
General means its not hard-coded to solve specific problems. Rather there are general purpose algorithms that can solve just about any problem you throw at it. It could be that some of these algorithms are somewhat specialized, but can still solve a wide range of problems never seen before.

Then there's a question of how supervised these algorithms are during training. Unsupervised is ideal, but some degree of supervised training isn't bad either and is more practical.
As a former poor person, fine. I hated my car.
Couple problems, clothes are not food, you don't new ones everyday.

The other is apparel just has too much competition. Each retailer used to have a look and style they were promoting. There was also noticeable difference between low cost clothes and higher ones.
If one goes to a mall the differentiation between stores is less than it used to be. I don't have a way to quantify this but that is what it seems.

As for cost of garments, go to H&M and go to Nordstrom, is there a quality difference, yes but not that much.

Back to stichfix, once customer has a few boxes of clothes and the customer likes the clothes, they can go buy them and a ton of other places.
And unlike trying to replicate meal kit companies offerings, there is no preparing of a meal, just clicking the buy button.

Yes, I do expect Congress to either build up that expertise, or hire their own staff yo do the footwork for them. The Library of Congress, in point of fact, was established to fulfill that very need. Congressional research. Also, until Gingrich in the 104th-ish Congress convinced them to shut it down in the 90's, the Legislative branch had their own independent Office of Technology Assessment research arm which to my understanding was a thorn in lobbyists side, because not only did they have a mandate to run down discrepancies (i.e. lobbyist said X, but our research/subpoenaing found Y is the case).

It was nuked because "we should just listen to lobbyists more", and basically the replacement enacted was to take double OTA's yearly budget, and drop that onto the Library of Congress, I suppose with the implication the GOP believes that Congresspeople should do their own research.

The level of follow thru on that is probably just what you'd expect.

If OTA came back, I'd be one of the first to throw my hat in the ring as a researcher/go-for, just because I believe it is such an essential piece of a healthy legislative institution, and we have suffered greatly over the past decades for want of it.

Staring at a computer screen all day, interacting with people exclusively on video chat is good for mental and physical health? Plumbers and carpenters can earn a high wage, with no college debt, and often get a union job. Some of my best friends from high school went into the trades, and owned a nice home before most of our high school class was graduating from college.

Tradespeople will be the new software engineers in the late 2020s through 2030s. Enough that I'm considering leaving my cushy FAANG engineering manager job to become an electrician.

On top of the huge supply shortage, consider that the majority of the U.S. housing stock was built during the Baby Boom suburbanization from 1950-1970, and that the average lifespan of a house's internal systems (plumbing, electrical) is about 65 years. There's a massive maintenance bill coming due right around 2025. Right as the housing stock is largely owned by boomers on fixed incomes who won't have time, money, or health to fix it. Millennials will start inheriting houses en masse around 2035, which solves the housing crisis, but they're going to be houses in various states of disrepair.

There's probably also a lot of room for innovation in home construction and repair - possibly an area where robotics could make a big difference. Unfortunately this is a known "hard problem", where past attempts at mechanization haven't really helped much.
Non-competes require governments to enforce them; abolishing them is the actual anti-interventionist strategy.

Amazon went from a tech company to a retail company (not including AWS). Back then e-commerce was nascent and everything Amazon did was R&D. Now their differentiator is scale and logistics. The website and related technologies are taken for granted even though we all know the complexity of it. But end of the day, it has been built and as much as it pains to admit it as an engineer, it’s “solved” - to the extent that it’s not make or break anymore.
I disagree. American people and sites oscillate between moralism (generally) and prurience (maybe only on the left), and I'd prefer those that are designed as technical platforms to do less editorializing. Not everyone shares a moral code. Hell, today I don't necessarily have the morals that I had myself yesterday.
I mean Obamacare exchanges exist but (as the insurance industry wants) it mostly sucks in terms of costs/coverage. COBRA is still better because you get tied to your former employer's risk pool even though you pay employer share of healthcare costs.

This is a huge dealbreaker for me tbh. Tesla's competitors are mostly still using an electrified ICE platform, showing even now they're years behind. It's comparable to countries who were pioneers in broadband internet and who are now lacking in progress and falling behind, or like MS Internet explorer that totally stagnated and held back browser technology.
> The masses, as aggregated through votes or purchasing decisions? They're structurally incapable of it.

I think this is a dangerous delusion:

Historically, centralized control has been a disaster because those individuals wielding power believed they could think of something greater… but actually lacked the skill. So we ended up with simplistic concepts that failed at scale, ideas that never could work because they missed key details, etc. By contrast, society gets on with the business of building the future in spite of and not due to that meddling by centralized power.
> Rivian, Lucid, and similar startups will be defunct.

I expect some will be bought out, and a brand of someone else. Some will be defunt as in bankrupt. I wouldn't be surprised if one of them survives as a small niche manufacture.
Right. Tesla's problems are car-company problems. Build quality. Production backlog. Delayed new models. Repair parts stocking. Repair center operations. Cost growth. All the dull and boring stuff they have to fix, or their market cap shrinks to what their production output justifies.
I had to dip into this for a few years. In the U.S., an ACA ("Obamacare") plan is $500-$2000 a month, depending on the state, with extra assistance for low incomes. There are bronze, silver, and gold plans with higher tiers decreasing copays and annual out-of-pocket maximums but significantly bumping the monthly dues. Private insurance also exists but almost universally has inferior terms (payout caps, gaps in coverage, weasel wording, etc.).

In my experience, for a typical ACA bronze plan, the annual maximum out-of-pocket payout is roughly $20,000, and the monthly dues are about $700, meaning worst case you're looking at ~$30,000 out pocket for a year. Add about 50% if you have children. Sadly, none of this is tax-deductible as far as I can tell.

Another issue with ACA marketplaces that I found was they churn a lot; every year when you have to renew coverage you can have an entirely different set of providers and plans. The constant enrollment and transfer paperwork becomes non-trivial, even without trying to qualify for an income-based discount.
I don’t 100% follow, I did a bit of googling and I don’t exactly grasp the problem. Could you point me in the right direction?

GDP (£) per capita in London has doubled since 1998. Has the standard of living "doubled" for the median person? What about the standard of living for the poorest 1%? Has the productivity boost due to automation translated into correspondingly shorter working hours, or correspondingly larger compensation for work done?

What questions do you actually mean to ask, when you talk about GDP?

You won't be able to curate everything forever, so in the long run it's easier to get them asking questions (and to ask them questions) about what they're watching. They'll quickly be able to tell what's trash media on their own.

Advertisements were a big problem in our house at first. Every toy was enticing, but the fast cuts and up-tempo music made them look more fun to play with than they actually were. Have you tried asking them about motivation? Like, those YouTube channels you don't want them to watch were made deliberately, but for what purpose?

Making something forbidden doesn't make it any less misleading, you know? It's the ability to question it that takes away that power.
Do you know where I could read more about this (specifically suicide/offensive stuff). A cursory search only showed a scene being cut from 13 Reasons Why, but I would be very interested in learning more.
I agree with this to a point but I think a lot of this has to do with the overt sexualization of pro gay demonstrations. Pride parades contain a lot of heightened sexuality. One of the drivers of my point of view (which for me is relatively new) and my aversion to letting my kids watch gay shows was I accidentally drove passed a pride parade with my young kid a while ago and he saw several men walking with their rear ends sexually exposed. Sex vs romantic intentions is often associated with homosexuality but its not only the fault of the people wishing to limit exposure of their kids to it, its also the fault of those advocating for it. I am 100% for adults doing whatever they want sexually in the privacy of their homes, I just disagree with pulling bystanders into it. This is different that romantic displays, if a couple of gay dudes want to walk down the street dressed in a tshirt and jeans holding hands, more power to them.
Maybe not for those exact reasons, but by limiting links, you lower your liability. If people are associating a site with the linked sites, then you can try to remove that association by removing the links.

You might be surprised, from the pictures of the insides the Shahed drones have a software-defined radio (SDR) in them with a decently beefy FPGA and presumably some other similarly expensive chips on the analog side.

Certainly for the FPGA side you can make the case that these things are actually very, very rare in true consumer products (anything that sells in numbers they are the first thing to go off the BOM, at all costs). But they power an overwhelming number of military gadgets that don't have the unit numbers to be sensitive to their cost.

So yeah, today FPGA are an utter commodity item that are impossible to trace. But if you want sanctions like these to work, they probably shouldn't be.

The SDR for reference: https://i.imgur.com/oyexLez.jpg
Intel pushed the 486 up to 100 MHz via the iDX4 chip (which lost the i486 branding, but it's still what it is). Initially intended for embedded systems, it was sold directly also to consumers with the "OverDrive" brand attached. (Maybe it was unsold stock from the embedded attempt?)

AMD would further push its own 486 chips to 150 MHz, and I recall the raw clockspeed allowed it to stay competitive against the lower-end Pentiums (60-75 MHz), but architectural changes in the Pentium (branch prediction and out of order execution) really let the Pentium fly away from the 486 at fewer necessary cycles.
I did graduate work in Materials Science and the understanding in our lab was to be very skeptical of papers from China, particularly from the State Key Labs as they were very often impossible to replicate and ended up being useless. Seems relevant to this paper as well.

Ok admittedly struggling with "gratifies one's intellectual curiosity." but on a seperate note I tend to visit such places (young family) and they seem to be hitting a generational infection point - the first scrappy start up of a crazy couple using their house to help animals, becoming well known in the area then building up professionalism, now those original starters are aged out as are their children and ... now we have job posts.
Title 27, Code of Federal Regulations, section 478.11 defines a
“firearm receiver” as, “[t]hat part of a firearm which provides housing for the hammer, bolt
or breechblock, and firing mechanism, and which is usually threaded at its forward portion
to receive the barrel.”

ATF has "regulated" that an AR-15 lower "receiver" is legally a "firearm receiver." Now show me where the "bolt or breechblock" is housed in the lower receiver. I promise you will not find it. They are basically making law.
There's probably a co-function of the paradox of tolerance that says something of the form "to regulate something it must be described," which (not unlike the paradox) doesn't imply you don't regulate it.

You can find a bronze plan on the healthcare market place for < $300/month. I'm self employed, paying around that for an HSA eligible plan, and haven't seen a doctor in 5+ year. Mostly keep it for the HSA account/investing, or I'd forgo it. If your spouse has a FT/W2 job, they'd likely get solid health insurance to cover the family.

But the people you are concerned with are not paid 40k plus 40k bonus that can be clawed away they are paid 80k.

Bonuses are like options being worthwhile in that they are mostly out of your control. When I see a position pays 140,000 plus bonus which was almost 40,000 last year I know I can only count on 140,000 this year and if 40,000 happens to be awarded great.

I find when I begin eyeballing things I inevitably start to get them wrong.

For example, apples with peanut butter is my favorite snack. I initially measured out and weighed the peanut butter, then used the same entry for calorie counting and eyeballed it for a while.

I eventually measured again, and I was eating nearly 50% more peanut butter than my initial entry! I imagine I probably added just a little bit more each time, because my brain really loves peanut butter.

I don't think I do this with proteins, but with carbs and anything sweet I definitely do. So I have to be very careful.
I know people who surfed the COBRA wave - ie, joined full-time for a company for a month every year or two to keep COBRA going and then going back to contract work in the interim.
If it's such a good deal they should have no problem finding plenty of employees for those jobs. If Gen Z is opposed to those kind of working conditions for some reason, then it's just a matter of supply and demand - like how trash collectors get paid a lot for a relatively low-skilled labor job, because not many people want to deal with trash all day. Whether we share the same aversion Gen Z does for certain types of jobs is irrelevant, nobody gets to be the arbiter of what peoples preferences are

The 1.5 here is for a single core, though. So if we assume that the performance core on an M1 is around 7.5 watts (I’m not actually sure, seems like a reasonable upper bound though if a whole M1 mini is around 39 watts), we’d be looking at around 750 watts to match. Which seems like a surprisingly non-crazy amount of power given these are 32 bit flops, unlike the 16 in the RTX 3090, and they come from a CPU.

While the trend they're talking about may be real, the way they provide evidence for it is sloppy.

> The number of young people seeking technical jobs — like plumbing, building and electrical work — dropped by 49% in 2022 compared to 2020, according to data from online recruiting platform Handshake shared with NPR.

> Researchers from Handshake tracked how the number of applications for technical roles vs. the number of job postings has changed over the last two years.

> While postings for those roles — automotive technicians, equipment installers and respiratory therapists, to name a few — saw about 10 applications each in 2020, they got about five per posting in 2022.

I.e. the evidence is in terms of applications per job posting, but the claim is about the number people seeking jobs. These are not the same. If it's understood that it's a job-seekers market, the same number of job seekers in 2022 could reasonably each have applied to half as many positions each, and be pickier about which postings they pursue.
