“Insurers should be forced to sell in a single market all the plans they offer. Insurer like to talk about "economy of scale" with large employers, but that is an artificial limit. Why should insurance pools be limited to who works at a company?”

Very true. There should be one insurance pool. Either state or nationwide.
I think you’re confusing Mathematica and Matlab here.

There are strains of ideas and phenomena here that are probably not decipherable to outsiders. Applying for subsidies for "study circles" would be considered as abuse of the system or even fraudulent in some circles. In other circles, receiving any subsidy from the government is considered justified and right by default.

Its effect on economic development is probably negligible (but how would you determine that?). It can rather be viewed as one of many tolerated ways of receiving money in exchange for the effort of doing the paperwork.

It's a phenomenon that looks different to different people.
The USA or Brazil could have been speaking French today if France had higher fertility rate and thus could export its culture via people.

That would obviously benefit its reach.
I'd say he is one of the least cold people I can think of but he is 92 and slowing down a bit in terms of explaining the latest trends.
This gives a really distorted image of the real Sweden I know. 99% of kids in real Sweden are definitely not hanging out at these educational centers: in this massively conformist society (especially for teenagers), the kids are getting hold of beer as soon as they can, driving cars to the nearest petrol station or out-of-town car parks, and burning tire marks in the asphalt.

This sort of article is just window-dressing for what it’s really like to live in this mostly restricted and limited land, out in the boondocks.

Swedes living abroad probably actually believe this nostalgic fiction of their homeland.
Octave is impl of Matlab, unrelated to Mathematica/Wolframlang.
The article never explains why right-handed polarization knocks electrons off right-handed helixes more often than left-handed ones. What's the mechanism there?

The fact we don't have many Mondragons probably has less to do with its intrinsic efficiency and more to do with pre existing wealth distributions.

One change that Jeremy Corbyn put in his manifesto in 2017 was a law mandating one worker board seat for companies over a certain size.

I didnt think it was a particularly drastic change but it drove the big business lobbies into a fit of white hot rage.
Ask HN: Is this artist on Spotify AI-generated music?
Earnest disclaimer:
This is not me and I don't intend to increase plays for cash.

This was recommended to me by the algorithm and I'm bored in the hospital due to an injury.

I was somehow into it at first, then felt it sounded a little off. The artist name is not on discogs.

Play times are short, cover is an AI-generated image, that seems to support the idea that the artist is in for the money and/or this is an experiment.

What do you mean "not really"? It seem you just posted what I was saying for lower rates of many chronic diseases.

"significantly lower MRs over the age of 40, due primarily to lower rates of cancer (MR = 0.44, age 40-69), and cardiovascular diseases (MR = 0.65, age 40-69)"

As they said, cause differs. When looking at costs, causes are very important. Things like cancer and cardiovascular diseases tend to cost a lot of money to treat as they drag on. If you die young in an accident, it's likely to cost less.
I’d have to re-listen to numerous TWiV podcasts, but here is a WaPo article discussing the quality of research at WIV: https://archive.ph/2020.01.31-185716/https://www.washingtonp...

The Wuhan institute was celebrated as an improvement over the facilities at which dangerous viruses had previously been studied in China. The 2004 SARS outbreak originated in a lab: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC416634/

Your source seems to support my position more than yours. Perhaps you could explain how research showing that CCTV is frequently of low quality, and doesn’t seem to improve crime solve rates, demonstrates the UK governments extensive CCTV capabilities?

> It's well within the scope of the surveillance society the UK is flirting with, just as CCTV is relevant to a discussion about encrypted messaging software.

Your original point, which I refuted, is that London has a surveillance system which would make china proud. I think I’ve shown that no such surveillance system exists in reality. You’re free to move the goal posts, that’s your prerogative, but I’m not interested in chasing them.
What do they spend taxpayers money for instead?
Did you have the full GUI running back then? I tried this in 2021 but couldn’t get the GUI to launch. It seemed like an expected graphics lib wasn’t available.
Honestly, I think they should go with opt-in and make it clear to the community that the public dataset will be the sole source of decision making for future deprecations. If you want your favorite pet feature still enabled and no one using it is sending them telemetry then too bad.
One of the last things I remember about Atom was that by the time they’d figured out all the stuff they needed to fix, VSCode had come in and stolen all the eyeballs, so to speak. So they have a good roadmap, they just need to do the implementation.
Just a guess: perhaps GitHub prefers the credit? It depends who controls the Atom name I'd think.
Can I use it if I'm not logged into the App Store?
Let me play the game. If covid was caused by a lab leak, I think the right question to ask is: who benefits (did benefit) by the leak? And remember that number of dead people is something that governments don’t care about (i.e., governments easily go into war every now and then: it’s clear they couldn’t care less about civilians).
Anecdotally, I love traveling to places where weed is legal so I can get high and almost immediately cure jetlag.

I also have great vivid dreams when high so, yeah I'd also be interested to see some more information too.

I find the attitude on display here utterly gross and it makes me wonder where this person got it. Is this the common attitude inside Google or Silicon Valley proper these days?

Privacy used to be kind of sacrosanct in the industry. What happened?

I guess when surveillance driven advertising pays all the bills it has an extreme warping effect on everyone’s mentality. It’s hard to care about privacy when violating it is how you get paid.

I’m increasingly wondering if we might vastly improve our society by banning or taxing the hell out of all advertising. It’s an industry that makes the world a worse place in deep and pervasive ways that go much further than just making everything ugly and obnoxious. The industry pushes a toxic relationship between people and businesses at every level.
The other Nordic countries have similar movements. I assume there are others too.
Some context from a post on reddit:

I just got a message from Tarsius because I'm sponsoring him. This is what it says:

"Recently GitHub announced that GitHub Sponsors is going to abruptly stop accepting PayPal payments on February 23, 2023.

"In the three days since, I have already lost a dozen sponsors. If this continues at this rate, I am going to loose over half my sponsors on this platform.

"This is a huge issue for me. These donations are not just a nice extra but how I make a living. I already have to get by with an income that is way below minimal wage, so losing sponsors in great numbers really hurts. I receive about 80% of all donations through Github Sponsors, losing between 50% and 75% of that, would mean I cannot pay my bills anymore.

"If you are currently using PayPal, then please take some time to switch to another payment method, either here on GitHub, or by using one of the many other options donation options."

My personal opinion as a professional developer and one among many donators is that I couldn't survive my work without the help of Magit. It allows me to be really effective and to find new Git tricks.

If you are using Paypal as a payment method in Github, please switch to another way of donating. And if you're not donating, this would be a great time to start.

Part of the problem with the Ukainian Civil War, that has been going on since 2014, is that the Russian East of Ukraine - ethnically, culturally, and economically Russian was viewed as being targeted by the Pro-Western Ukrainian from the West of the country.

Putin styles himself as the "Defender of Ethnic Russians". Whether that is an excuse or a serious reason is probably a political question.

Given that, and the NATO encroachment, I'd think there would be an excellent reason for Putin to want Transnistria - pushing the borders back that far gives him buffer zones that includes Mountain ranges and help shore up his defenses if he captures all of Ukraine. Because Transnistria is mountainous, it provides a barrier for invading forces, and a number of attractive choke points.
Is it also webscale? /s
And a few not widely recognized nations squeezed between those.
You could just as well say that the cosmic ray pions are more likely to destroy right-handed DNA, which would have the opposite effect. And I don't think essential mutations were particularly hard to come by in the primordial soup. UV light works fine, as do many, many chemicals. Or just more-primitive copying machinery.

I don't think this weighs very heavily against the random symmetry-breaking hypothesis.
I’m not much of a conspiracy theorist, but I always found it it little odd that the guy who became the de facto pandemic era “leader” in the U.S. was also the same guy that personally approved funding for the lab in Wuhan.
Your quote agrees with the thing you are rebutting:

Rates of many chronic diseases are lower.

Amish males had ...significantly lower MRs over the age of 40, due primarily to lower rates of cancer (MR = 0.44, age 40-69), and cardiovascular diseases (MR = 0.65, age 40-69).

Also, mortality rates and costs are not synonyms.
Without meaning to take a position either way, as a non-American, why does the Energy Department have a position on this?

I’m aware that the Energy Department has sone degree of responsibility for the US nuclear arsenal, but even taking that into account, it seems out of scope.
Maybe, but I’m cautious about assuming my own superiority, i.e. that my lonely cohort and I are the only ones able to read and infer the proper meaning from writing, and that others are too easily misguided.
But, here's the thing about reuse, what happens after the next person is done using the shoes? Looks more like kicking the can down the road. Not only is there a hygiene problem involved with this type of reuse, but then the 2nd hand shoes still end up being part of the massive plastic pollution problem.

Dow seems to just have "exported" the problem to another country, lied about it, their people or associates are kind of making money under the table, and the environment continues suffering. At some point, governments are going to have to hold companies accountable for the plastic waste problem.
> for "old fart" and expect to see Putin?

Living in Ukraine, I would love for the world to never see Putin again.

OTOH, I have nothing but tremendous respect for the engineers of the original Yandex. It's hard to overestimate how much they did for the russian-speaking world. I mean, they have basically invented practical stemming for Russian, Ukrainian and other close languages.
It's not some secret Chinese laboratory. It's a well known institute, a pretty famouse one in fact. It's the place that identified the source of the 2003 sars pandemic.
And this is precisely why BSL4 labs exist. And accidents also happen at BSL4 labs. But in the west, at least we have reasonably transparent and trustworthy governments, with some notion of accountability for enforcing rules.
Calm down, captain America. Chill. It's just an opinion and it was not rude.

The worlds billionaires, combined, made more money in 2020-2022 than the previous 20 years combined. When there’s that much money involved, one must be a little suspicious.
This claim would make more sense if the Mono was heavily optimized specifically for games, which is not the case. CoreCLR is heavily optimized period
“Bild” is indeed “image”. Though one also says “bilden” to mean “generate”, “create”, or “consist of”. For instance, one might us it to say that two people “bilden” a team (i.e. make up a team).
> It doesn’t compose properly

Stored procedures?

> lacks type safety

How so? Can you give some examples? I have no idea what this is even about.

> you have to codegen your statements

Never happened to me. Not in any capacity that I would feel like this was a burden. The only cases where I needed to generate SQL code were some fuzzing tests intended to figure out problems with database performance, s.a. feeding a bunch of generated SQL to pgbench to see what may cause the database to slow down / use too many resources. This seems very strange in an application that is simply using SQL database rather than trying to do something weird with it (eg. testing performance). SQL is a very high-level language, which means you don't need to do as much code generation compared to, say, Assembly or even Java.

I do see that people do this when they use ORM, but this is a self-inflicted pain. They shouldn't have been doing ORM to begin with.

> get worthless compiler errors

From what? Are you talking about writing SQL functions (eg. in Java) and then using them from SQL (eg. Oracle)? This doesn't sound like a SQL problem, more like Java compiler problem... But, yeah, I can see how this is a complication and an inconvenient thing to do, so, if that's what you mean, I'm generally with you on this one. Well, I think that the benefits are still worth doing this.

> whole tooling support is reverted to the 80’s.

Again, I don't see the connection. But, even if it was so... what's the problem? You get to work with an old and reliable technology, with decades of knowledge and experience to support it. And it's not like it died in the 80's. Tons of effort is being invested into this technology, it's amongst the first to get updates and integrations with new hardware and system capabilities (eg. vectorized ISAs support, even GPU access, bet you that when "smart SSD" become common enough, SQL databases will be the first to support them). What's not to like? This is like complaining about C compilers for being "old tech"... for all that's wrong with C (compilers), being old is not one of those things.

> It’s a pretty shit language

If you were honest, you'd write it like this: "I don't like it". And, well, you are allowed not to like whatever you want. It's subjective, and completely up to you. It just has less of a convincing power. But, really, this is your entire argument...

That is great news.

Most of the time I'm annoyed at the projects that manage to get funding, because generally the people that do the work don't have the time nor the inclination to fill paperwork for getting the grants, and the people that have that time and inclination, rarely do the work. So, in my experience, the grants get dispatched to mostly worthless causes that produce very little benefit. I'm very glad that this is not the case here.

Gmail also seems to be letting through more spam in recent years.

It's surprising because I thought spam was in some ways in competition with Google; spammers get traffic without buying ads.

Are Google just too mediocre to do anything about this?
Women had no such benefit. Women got more issues as their aged. Health of children mattter too and costs too. Young males dying more often is not healthy for them.

The men over 40 subset of population has slightly lower mortality and no one else. The numbers even out.

That is not consistent with "healthier lifestyle overall" as if they generally got benefits.

I'm not aware of any browser engine restrictions on Android / Google Play. If Electron isn't running on Android, it's probably because the Electron project has chosen not to do it.

But since there are restrictions on iOS, maybe it's less appealing to bother with Android? (You'd want to be able to say you support both mobile platforms, but you wouldn't be able to. And there wouldn't be a path toward doing that that's within your control.)
wouldn't this just lead to the projects that are already the most visible (and thus most likely to already receive donations) getting the bulk of the income?
Mozilla shows time and time again that decisions based on opt-out telemetry are worse than decisions taken without telemetry at all.

"Telemetry shows people aren't using this (privacy / internet freedom related) feature, so we can just remove it"
Women had literally zero benefits. And young boys die more. There is only one segment of population that is getting some benefit and that benefit is small.

In order for lifestyle to be healthier, I would want to see more benefits then just some middle aged men mortality shifted onto young ones.

I measure it with a Mi Band. It might not be the most precise measuring method, but I feel like I'm able to correlate "better sleep" shown in the app with "better mood" or "feeling better" the day after. And quitting weed does improve both of those measures.

Of course I was not able to notice this when I was younger. Only now at 32 and a family these measurements are starting to actually be noticeable.
Honestly modern Motos are as close to the stock A. as you can get. Not really sure about E4, flashed it to LOS pretty soon, but g8 and, now, g30 has a minimal Moto integrations and some are actually useful, eg on g30 I finally adopted MotoActions (flash by chop-chop and camera by uugh doggo shake? lol) despite ignoring them for years, since XT720/RAZR.
With g30 I even left the default launcher, it is good enough that I didn't bother.

Yes. Absolutely. Why not get it over with now and debate it now?

That is the end result of where society is going, but "the powers that be" don't want it to happen to fast. Like right now. Or the plan might get ruined. Canada is ripe picking for denialism laws and hate speech laws as Canadians don't actually have a right to free speech. But only if they can be brought in slowly and quietly.

So yeah, throw the book at the kid. I'm sure he wants it, he picked this fight. Remember, what's the best defense? Offense. This kid is a hero. He's not playing D. He's on the offensive, and Canadians should take note.
Also, since it's running on a Raspberry Pi, "what your patience will enforce," basically a performance limited version of the software.
It is fundamentally not possible to have strong privacy or censorship resistance on proprietary operating systems like iOS and Android if a state is targeting you. Even the so-called open source Android ROMs have no choice but to include hundreds of privileged binary blobs to make the proprietary hardware work. All a state actor need do is
leverage their no doubt existing backdoors into said binaries and all plaintext is revealed on those devices. They could also issue a secret order to mobile app stores to issue slightly tweaked Signal binaries. In either case Signal would never know that users are compromised.

For my own company which does security research, privacy is critical. We bring in only people who have been trained to only access the channel from dedicated QubesOS VMs, with no mobile access permitted. This is not perfect but it is as reasonable best effort until we can run Matrix home servers in a TEE (working on foundations for this atm).

Signal by contrast demands a phone number and assumes mobile handsets can be fully trusted so it already has ruled itself out for high risk use cases.

Matrix on the other hand I can run a private server of, and enforce whatever rules are appropriate for my threat model.

These plans are not ACA qualified, are underwritten on an annual basis and do not cover pre existing conditions. They are for healthy people to cover something for the duration of the plan, which it sounds like it did.
