Sorry for the lack of an immediate response.

Yes, both of us are over 65.

The insurance was a high end PPO with no lifetime max and $20 copay. My wife is a cancer survivor, and I take drugs to minimize my cancer risk.

Additionally, the premium growth rate accelerated considerably after 65.

We did not actually pay $85k for a year but that was going to be the price. We were told what the new premiums would be, and instead of paying the $85k (paid monthly in installments), I switched immediately to the MA plan and told my wife, let's see how this works out. She held on for six months, then ran into the stalling, and then it took her another six months before she could get on the same MA plan.

The reason our MA plan works is that it's offered by the same medical center we happened to use 100% of the time on our previous insurance. So we didn't need to switch any physicians.

Regarding predatory MA's, my wife's surgeon, who was trying to get the approval for her surgery, told her, "This isn't going anywhere, you're past the time to switch to medicare, get an MA. However, be sure you avoid these companies."

Yes, we switched to medicare late, and we are reminded of that every month when we pay the penalty.

(I should mention our current MA plan is a HMO, not a PPO -- my typo.)

Only severe punishment is enough to protect our privacy. The assembly line perverts who run the tools of corporate surveillance must be personally corrected, in the harshest manner possible.
There are lots of different approaches.

What worked for us was maternal/parental leave. I took 3 months off. My wife decided to stop working. Having our baby girl sleep close to her mother so things like feeding in the middle of the night become much simpler.

Having family around to help is yet another variable (we didn't much but some people make use of that).

Two kids so we have a sample of two. No daycare either. Your life will still change a lot. If you're starting point is that your kids are going to restrict your ability to go out to see a movie without them then that can be a problem. We stuck our babies in carriers and did things with them.

This is very much a religious/individual choice/endless debate kind of topics. Only second to tabs vs. spaces. But there are lots of choices that can be made here (including the choice not to have a child in the first place).
You missed another quality of the worst world: driver monitoring that disengages even for a perfectly attentive driver. That’s about where Tesla is now.
Much appreciated. Comments moved thither. Thanks!
Too true. We had to have the talk with them after they almost fell for the IRS gift card scam, basically verbatim

They’ve provided custom runtimes which removes the need completely for managed runtimes giving you whatever version you like. They also did it in a way with Docker that’s simple and powerful.

If I was an AWS exec I’d say managed runtimes are legacy, with the introduction of containers move to containers for new deploys.

I’ve been critical of Lambda in the past and critical when people use Kubernetes/Docker because it’s Kubernetes/Docker. The container support in Lambda has been a game changer, it’s one of them now they’ve done it you think why didn’t they think of that earlier, it’s a great fit.
Mongo's Ops Manager is kind of like this with all its automation (managing machines, shards, index rollouts, etc) and monitoring, but not really the long running query part (there is a profiler though).

It's also not free and breaks in all kinds of fun ways.
Try running act against their own act fork and watch it vomit. I first had contact with act trying to get VSCodium to build locally, since their build system is/was entirely GitHub Actions based. The "well, that didn't work" was horrific to troubleshoot

I don’t think you realize how tiny most of these are compared to typical Florida vehicles.
And yet, the US actually has allies. After all the crap the US has done, it still has allies. What? Why?

Oh, because it's all about economics and power.

Interesting thesis. At the same time, China has few allies. Does that mean China has a poor economy and little power?
Indeed. Got to play the hand dealt.

There are lots of ways to make motors without rare earths...

There aren't many ways to make permanent magnet motors without rare earths. The slide specifically claims this is the next generation permanent magnet motor.

So the question is... Did they invent a new magnet Chemistry... Or are they using a known magnet Chemistry and are okay with not-very-strong magnets?
high school genius -> A Level failure -> record store stock clerk -> biochemistry & biophysics -> computational molecular biology PhD (abandoned) -> bike messenger -> systems support engineer -> software engineer -> UWashington CS&E staff -> amzn -> stay at home parent -> FLOSS hacker -> guest professor TU Berlin -> seemingly world-level expert on DAWs

I always wonder how rare this sort of pathway is.
> The UDHR (Universal Declaration of Human Rights) test involves taking the entire set of UDHR translations (almost 500 languages), concatenating them as one file (which ends up being 8 megabytes!), then via the editor-test example, automatically simulating the entry of that file into cosmic-text per-character, with the use of backspace and delete tested per character and per line.

Now that is testing.

I recently got a tip from someone who recently worked on a project I was at that he had a suspicion some validation code didn't cover all all cases.

There were maybe tre tests which where all green.

So I generated 50 random, but known valid cases and, voila, a few of them failed.

From there it was easy to fix the issue.
"It was a war where one side had slave states and the other side was the confederacy" implies the following:

[only] "one side had slaves states"

"one side had slaves states" [and the other didn't].

[there was the side with slave states] "and the other side was the confederacy"

All of these are wrong but all are implied by the most common, good-faith parse of that sentence. Indeed using a strict parse of that sentence and De Morgan's theorem for inference it is outright wrong.

(Not buying into the "the civil war was not about slavery" argument. It was: https://www.tyseidule.com/excerpt.html)
I live in Denver, near the streets the parent commenter posted, and I agree with those comments.

I do not know why the parent commenter chose those streets, nor what knowledge they have of the city, but if they posted 1000 more links it'd be more of the same.

Denver is not even trying. The landscape is completely dominated by cars, and utterly hostile to humans. The Mayor and City Council pay only lip service to making Denver more bike and pedestrian friendly, but little meaningful work has been done. Money has been spent, and things have been done, but none of it impactful.

In the 10 years I have lived in my house in central Denver, I cannot think of a single project, within a mile radius, that the city has planned and completed[1] that has made me feel safer as a cyclist, or pedestrian[2]. And I live in the densest part of the city, where these projects should be happening.

We even have a Vision Zero program, which is a joke. With the exception of the pandemic, traffic deaths continue to rise.

> Since Vision Zero was implemented in 2017, traffic fatalities have increased every year, except 2020, which saw a significant decrease due to stay-at-home orders and people working remotely. In 2021, traffic fatalities reached an all-time high with 84 deaths, surpassing Denver’s 2019 record high of 71 people.

This includes pedestrian deaths.

And road safety aside, bike theft is out of control in Denver. I only take my bike to do errands if I know I lock it up where lots of eyes will be on it, during daylight hours.

That all said, I am happy if the incentive program is paying off. Let's see. Maybe the city got it right. I remain skeptical, for now, given how hostile these streets are.

[1] - During the pandemic they closed 80% of the roads in Cheesman Park and have not reopened them. I am glad the city has stuck with it since it has completely transformed the feel of the place. I truly love it, more than I did before. But they did not plan this. It was a fortunate accident.

[2] - For context, my wife and I share one car, and otherwise we walk or I bike. My wife does not bike. She is afraid to, and I do not blame her.

A few milliseconds if you live in a first world country, sorry.
This comment is a prime example of how the non-technical founder understands the world.

Proprietary systems are company IP. Talking about the design of the system is protected by the NDA, which the exercise described above is asking the candidate to do.

You hire for the skills to develop your own proprietary system. The employer doesn't own the skill. The employer owns anything those skills produced for the employer.

You wouldn't want your employees giving the recipe to your secret sauce away to your competitor, right? That's what everyone is talking about.
I wish Ford the best of luck. The last time I worked at Ford AV, there wasn't a clear sense of direction after the initial kickoff project that was done to publicize Argo's AV chops. Hopefully this will have a better ending than that initial attempt.
Interesting suggestion, the extension itself is actually a React project that runs in VS Code so not much uplift would be required but we’d have to figure out how we’d actually interact with the codebase in that instance
Is Hacker News Turing Complete?
Assume we have a news aggregator, N, and a comments section, C.
--Let Q be any computable function.
---We can construct a program, P, that uses N and C to simulate Q as follows:
1) Parse news articles with N.
2) Use the comments section, C, to filter out irrelevant information.
3) Rely on smart commentators to provide input on how to manipulate the remaining data to generate an output that simulates Q.
---Since we could simulate any computable function with P, the system consisting of N and C is Turing complete

All we need is sharp commentators and some clean code snippets, and we could create a Turing-complete machine that can solve any computable problem I think.
That is why the infra team get paid the big bucks (bigger than normal SWE) and are basically untouchable in layoff rounds. I know FB was still in full hiring mode for infra folks, even in the middle of layoffs / hiring freezes. I assume this is the same at the other FAANG / FAANG-adjacent companies.

Your anecdote mistakes electric motorcycles with e-bikes. In the USA, there are three legal classes of ebikes; with the fastest class having max legal speed of 28mph.
> and in the last 300 years, it's hard to find a country that has abused more human rights.

Surely, between:

- The Armenian Genocide

- The Holocaust

- The Holdomor

- Pogroms

- Apartheid regimes

- Purges of the Bourgeoisie

- One Child Policy

I find it hard to think that the US (With it's many, many fuck-ups) is the only, let alone the -worst- guilty party in the last 100 years.

O wait, if we only counted the last 100 years the 'great leap forward' would suddenly look a lot less great... wouldn't it?
No.

Ban unsolicited marketing entirely and watch as suddenly no one cares enough to pay money for this data. That's how you get rid of it. Put violators in prison.

When my ancestors came to this country they ignored the voice and knowledge of people who had lived here for tens of thousands of years. Through the wonders of "Western Science" we managed to fuck up the ecology so bad that it is still stuffed to this day. Our country spends a huge amount of money paying for these mistakes because we thought that we were right.

It is this colonial attitude that our society is the best and everyone elses is wrong that needs to be changed. Dawkins isn't standing up for science he is standing up for an attitude that has plagued western civilisation for years.

I understand what you’re saying and I can relate to some degree, but it’s hard to read comments like this and not think I’m browsing r/IAmVerySmart.

I have some friends with whom I might try to poke at the nuances of the philosophy of a Supreme Court decision, but I have other friends who would be bored out of their mind. They also have a need for cognition and love to tear topics apart, but _different_ topics.
> Yes, we switched to medicare late, and we are reminded of that every month when we pay the penalty.

Doesn't the high-end PPO count as creditable coverage to avoid the penalty?
I felt the same in NYC. It was a weird combination of aggressive and impersonal. I frequently felt lonely.
As I mentioned elsewhere, the MA covers the same health center we've used for 40+ years as a HMO. I've had no issues with getting stuff approved. Her surgery was approved in less than a month and it's scheduled in a month. She'll need another later this year, but approval of that must wait until we see how this one turns out.

There's always the possibility the MA will stall. If it's egregious, we'll need to look into legal alternatives.
Yes we’ve definitely considered this as an option, we’ll hopefully be able to explore it more when we have more dev resource in the next few months (just my cofounder and I working on the tech currently). I think it makes a lot of sense to allow people to make their own integrations!
OK, will do. Currently trying Neo Store which has also been suggested.
> I am bitter and not sure I can get over it even though my job is safe

I would take this as the first warning sign.

Be assured the management did not enjoy turning people away, especially so close to their start date. I have even heard of people showing up on their first day to hear there job was eliminated.

As for the warning, although you feel you are safe, you might be safe for now. But eventually everyone is at risk, even the CEO.

TLDR: get your resume together...

They could have designed it to do that in the first place, and not announced it at all just hid it away in a point release. They didn't.

> "Such an expansion would use the exact same justification as the iCloud-bound content scanning."

One of the justifications was that Apple are/could be legally responsible for criminal images hosted on their servers, that exact same justification wouldn't apply to offline content scanning.

> "It's a slippery slope that ends up with your phone/computer snooping on texts, call contents, or anything else and then submitting your "crimes" to the authorities."

Not "crimes" in quotes, crimes without quotes. Generally people think law enforcement is important, especially regarding crimes against children. "A slippery slope" which leads criminals being punished is not the argument winning logical fallacy you think it is. The argument against it is around invasion of privacy, rights not to self-incriminate or to remain silent, ownership of device and software, freedom from unreasonable search without prior evidence, whether you can be found guilty by algorithm, et al.
Amazon Basics CPU Cooler Is Its First Foray into PC Components
But that's not true, the total latency including a cache is:

P(cache_hit) * cache_read_latency + (1 - P(cache_hit)) * cache_miss_latency

Assuming your scenario of 99% cache misses, that means you need a cache whose read latency is less than 1% of the cost of a cache miss. There are plenty of ways to design such a cache so that you still get a net performance benefit, even in your greatly exaggerated scenario.

One very simple example of an incredibly cheap cache that is almost certainly going to cost less than 1% of the cache miss latency is a bloom filter. Bloom filters can be tuned to be incredibly space efficient as well.

Please don't be so dismissive of people who answer questions by giving generally good and standard advice, just because you have some silly corner case that you want to play "gotcha" on.
Drought is about rainfall, not about aquifers.

California almost always has drought conditions every year. But just like all weather, its not consistent year over year. Some years are drier some wetter.

It’s a semi-arid climate.

Talking about drought in California is like talking about snow in Canada.
"People don't thrive on social medias interactions, they're addicted to them." This is a choice phrase. Well said.
I think these two things are quite distinct. To assert that objects have a kind of fundamental agency because of the forces they can exert on our world, to put it simply, is totally distinct from speculating/having faith that there is a turnip spirit in the turnip.

What she is talking about is more about questions of philosophical priority than metaphysical/spiritual assertions.

Lane keep is not the same as lane centering.

What’s there to talk about as far as specifics? Most companies would have a standard severance package based on time at the job and $x months of pay.
I was a manager, for a very long time.

I worked for a company that actually had values similar to mine. It had lots of problems, but, in the aggregate, I ended up staying for a long time.

Could I have made a lot more, somewhere else? Absolutely. But that’s never been what I wanted. As it has turned out, I was able to leave the workforce at 55 (like I had a choice). I live humbly, but I also write code I want to write, the way I want to write it, for whom I want to write it, and I learn new stuff, every single day, without having anyone insisting that I compromise my Integrity, so they can make money.

I won’t lie. I was really pissed off (and still find it infuriating), when I realized what was happening.

In many ways, what I find most offensive, is the willful self-destruction, implicit in ignoring experience. It’s really no fun, watching companies, with so much talent and potential, implode, when they could have been so much better.

One of the characteristics of that company I worked for, was their frugality. They were (and still are) absolute tightwads. I got used to making do with limited resources, and figuring out how to motivate and reward employees, when I didn’t have the traditional leverage at my disposal.

It taught me a lot, but was also never comfortable. I would have loved the bucketfuls of money that so many companies seem to have, these days.

But maybe that whole gravy train is suffering a derailment.
Lets see if it goes as well as when they got rid of lidar.
It’s worse than that. As shown by the 14 eyes alliance, our governments themselves spy on us. The 14 eyes alliance overrides the GPRD which makes it seem more as protectionist legislation than anything else.
If Medicare Advantage is good for its customers, they shouldn't need to trick people into signing up.
Interesting thesis. At the same time, China has few allies. Does that mean China has a poor economy and little power?

Maybe it's news to you but China has been poor for nearly 150+ years. In the past, China had the highest GDP in the world. But the opium trade, western wars, caused it to become as poor as it did. It's only in the last 10 years or so that China's economy has been big enough to garner more allies.

Even so, maybe propaganda has convinced you that China has no allies? For example, 37 countries signed a letter supporting China's anti-domestic terrorism tactics in Xinjiang.
The other thing to consider is _when_ the 40,000 price was announced. The model 3 was originally promised to be 35k, and thats roughly held true _if_ you account for inflation. Should Musk account for inflation when making announcements? Well, yes, but he'd need to be accurate with his timelines first...
This is a rather poor product.
Anyone have insight into why AWS hasn’t offered 6 series instance types for Oracle RDS with license included? The conventional wisdom that a new instance type will improve dollar per unit if performance year over year is breaking down in this case.

I could guess that Oracle licensing changes or negotiation has made it untenable for AWS.
It is unfortunately a mash up of mostly unfinished tools. It has a lot of features but there are many big holes in them.
Hmm. It wasn't that we didn't have coverage -- that's a separate penalty instilled by the ACA.

It was that, after 65, you're supposed to be on Medicare. Period. And they way they enforce it is they charge you extra when you do finally get on it (presumably after your private insurance becomes just too expensive...)

I'd be delighted to be proven wrong, but we were told repeatedly, including by Medicare itself, we Shall Be Penalized.

Technologies: Pixel-perfect mockups, mobile app design, user interface (UI) design, responsive front-end web development

Résumé/CV: https://dillonbrown.me/resume.pdf

Portfolio/Website: https://dillonbrown.me

Hello, my name is Dillon and I want to help you create cool stuff. I'm looking for UI and UX positions, as well as junior web development work.

I am completely obsessed with usability. I owe this passion to my time designing for others. When I design app interfaces, I am trying to make someone else's life a little easier — this is how I help people with the gifts I have. Few people are constantly thinking about how they interact with technology and how it might be better, but I cannot be any other way. My mind is endlessly observing myself in the way I use things and how they might be improved.

User interface design is my passion and I can do some basic front-end web development. Plain old HTML and CSS are my tools of choice. I can hack together some JavaScript given enough time. By far the most impressive JavaScript I have cobbled together is for an open-source web app I built as a passion project, which can be seen here [1]. Please take a look at my portfolio [2] to see some of my favorite projects.
