I just don't see lower prices increasing demand. I'm sure there is a swath of type-2 diabetics who would take insulin but can't afford it, but that's a sliver of the people between those already taking it and those who don't need it.

There must be somebody saying, "At last, cheap insulin, now I can give up my diet and exercise program", but I'm just not expecting that to be all that many people.
As someone who has been in the game a long time let me tell you that as our tools have gotten better user expectations have gotten way higher. I would argue that it's actually harder than ever before to deliver a true first class product for mobile or web.
I understand what you're saying but the feelings were real. I kept getting frustrated because I would comment and say you know vimm is not that bad and I would just get piled on by emacs users saying no come back it's okay just try us again and it was annoying so I wrote a response to them up as a blog post so I wouldn't have to write my opinion twice.
Yes, I'm using Kagi and it has that feature.

No surprise. Obviously the issue is greed and lack of repercussions for sharing data, but I have to wonder how CEOs can sleep soundly at night knowing how many people they've violated. Vulnerable people with mental health struggles in particular.

What's really egregious is they stated they complied with HIPPA when they didn't.

> In addition, the complaint said, BetterHelp told consumers that it was "HIPAA certified," with its customer service representatives informing consumers of this. However, "no government agency or other third party" had reviewed BetterHelp's information practices for compliance with HIPAA, let alone determined that its practices met the requirements of HIPAA.

Disgusting.

Agreed. Part of the huge demand for a Nordstrom's in Canada was to replicate the store and product offerings you encountered on cross-border shopping trips. The reality is/was that the products in a Canadian Nordstrom's or Target WERE NOT the same as in the US.
I mean, after spending $35k, you don't just throw it on a shelf (or maybe you do - I don't have that kind of money), you'd set it on a pedestal in a darkened room so the spotlights make it pop.
Strongly agreed. There have been plenty of people banned for life for returning too many items, or sometimes just one large item. Fine, no more shopping at Amazon. Now, there goes your healthcare provider(s) too.

Google was scary enough with so many digital properties tied together, but now a bohemoth expanding into the 'real' world should give everyone pause.
The thing you do most, maybe you just like it and that's your thing. We talk a lot about making and doing things, but some of the happiest people I know spend their time simply appreciating them.

Eh.. I'm open to see what happens. I'm currently being ground to a bloody pulp through the US medical machine. It has been one of the most stressful experiences of my life. It can't possibly get worse if Amazon gets its fingers into a small part. If they can squeeze even a few percentage points of improvement out of the process it'd be a huge win in my book. The current system makes one want to give up.

Perhaps it was just my education, but my CS classes had almost zero real-world guidance on how to do anything. Maybe a one pager on how to install the development environment. No IDE workshops, source code control, project layout guidance, etc. Perhaps the non-theoretical aspects are distasteful to professors (astronomers and telescopes or something)?

Absolutely.

I think that scenario is actually the opposite of the train regulatory environment. Cars have been really overregulated for years(how many major car brands are new in the last 50 years?).

I've worked on post-2000 cars; it's not far fetched to me to believe that emission standards became unrealistic. The whole industry was in on that scandal.

Whats unusual to me looking back now is how much the press cared about that vs. east palestine/train regs.

The bill to punish Disney for their political speech was technically originated in the FL legislature as well. That was all Ron Desantis. He is in control there. Just like he took control of the process of drawing new electoral maps. The FL legislature had their own map, but it was only extremely gerrymandered, not grotesquely gerrymandered, so he strong armed them into passing his own grotesquely gerrymandered map. This despite the fact that he has no actual role in that process. It was just a sheer exercise of political power.

Ron Desantis owns FL politics.

Edit: Honestly I wrote all of that forgetting about the subject matter of the bill. You can’t possibly believe such a bill, in reality, originated anywhere but the Governor’s office. Come on, nobody is that naive.
Older folks most at risk can't make it naturally. D3 is the best bet and complete.
That sounds great, though I can schedule quick video visits with Kaiser too. This does not sound unique.
I cant imagine ever getting to the point where I care enough what people call me to make a big deal out of it. I work with people that have been saying my name comedically wrong for months now and I couldn't care less. I have a couple other people that think my last name is my first name and call me by that. Its hilarious. Imagine getting upset or aggressive with someone just because they don't remember the pronouns you made up. That's a you problem, not a me problem.

I don't know the name's of 75% of the people I work with (I work with a 100+ people a week) and I really have no time or inclination to make the effort. If someone makes up pronouns that don't correspond to their image they are going to get mad at me because I am pretty much incapable of remembering their name let alone their pronouns. If I remember, cool I will use them but I'm really not going to spend hours practicing. Its not an intentional insult, I want everyone to be happy, I just don't have the effort or inclination in me to expend on it.
Only thing that would make this better is if the containers were running under Rosetta instead of QEMU.

I'm hoping this is possible at some point on macOS.
I'd also mention this isn't the only study with this sort of problem. Any health study looking at things that push people out of the house have this problem. People that can leave their homes tend to be in better health than people that can't.
> I think Tesla's lunch will be eaten by BYD, either alone or together with other Chinese EV manufacturers, in part because Tesla has been resting on its laurels for so long (still selling the model S!);

The tech and featues in a Tesla are far beyond what BYD is even close to delivering.

BYD's growth has been nothing close to Tesla's

Tesla has around four times the net income of BYD despite BYD selling three times as many cars

Telsa is making industry defining changes to manufacturing that BYD hasn't even started on

Telsa is deploying more than double the battery capacity as BYD

Tesla is far more vertically integrated than BYD

Not sure how any of this is resting on laurels or at all a sign that BYD is at risk of being a threat

Lol why do you think these moves are about improvement of the process? Like its said they have a fiduciary duty to squeeze profit out of their moves. Improvement of the experience for the customer is at least orthogonal to that.
I think Y tends to be a combination of factors like enough wealth within a society combined with enough people and communication and a culture of exploration and experimentation free from overly despotic government. Those circumstances have been quite rare in history as far as we know.

Only anecdata of course, but my several years old MBP has recently taken a few beatings (falls to the floor at various angles from 3-4 feet, getting narcoleptic with age is fun!). I haven’t noticed any problems I could attribute to any one of these incidents or their cumulative impact. There are a few very obvious dents in the casing, even behind the screen which I’d expect to cause distortion on the display… but nope, the tank keeps taking beatings without a problem. Granted there are other ways the MBP is showing its age but they’re just more pronounced versions of issues that well predate any physical incident.
Shoot me a message if I can help you debug this somehow. I really like this project's idea!

A bit heavy on the anti-Musk tirades for my taste.
Yeah, on locked-down devices under Apple's control.

I honestly believe locked-down consumer devices are the next step in corporate power consolidation after cloud services: Control is just as firmly in the hands of the corporation as with cloud, except now it doesn't even have to pay for bandwidth or energy costs - and costs for hardware upgrades turn into revenue!

Microsoft had the same approach to fighting Android: it threatened OEM with patent lawsuits, but never made the patents it was hanging public. Some of the settlements included agreements to manufacture Windows Mobile devices - an operating System that was clearly on its deathbed.

"Faster than C", I saw people write C code slower than a Python equivalent. So I have to admit, I don't know what it means for a language to be fast, because it depends on the algorithm being implemented and the developer who writes the code.

---

"simpler than Python", what does "simple" mean?

Simple design? Python's design is very complex (take a look at "Crimes with Python's pattern matching" < https://www.hillelwayne.com/post/python-abc/ > for example), on the other hand, assembly languages, or Lisp, or Forth, have a very simple design.

Simple as in "easy to use"? Rust is easy, write code, fix what the compiler tells you you did wrong. Joke aside, Go is quite easy to use and while I personally don't like this language, I get why it replaced Python in a lot of use cases.

Also, once you get used to the OTP framework, Erlang/Elixir/Gleam/any beam language are quite easy to use and have less footguns than Python.

---

"safer than Rust" is too vague. Is it memory safety? type safety? thread safety? cosmic ray safety? A mix of all of that?

Let's guess you meant "memory safety". All languages with a Garbage Collector are "memory safe".

---

On a semi-unrelated note, I've been working on https://letlang.dev

It's a language inspired by Erlang/Elixir (same concurrency model) that compiles to Rust code (the runtime use tokio). It is immutable, have no Garbage Collector thanks to Rust semantics, and dynamically typed.

I haven't run any benchmark (it's not even finished, I've been working on the specification before continuing the implementation), but I guess it could be slower than a rock.

They capture markets by loss leading, killing competition, at the same time hamstringing their suppliers/sellers with demands that are unreasonable. Only to either raise prices later or default to selling counterfeit goods, or change agreements but the market has been decimated so there is largely only a single place to source or sell goods. Then they take their war chest and do it to another industry. American medical is both extremely profitable and also extremely not profitable depending on where you sit. I do not see Amazon being a good faith participant in this field given their other business lines.
In 2007, I was done. I joined the military and went to Interrogation School. Those four years were some of the most insane years of my life. I wouldn’t do it again, I’m not even sure if I would recommend it.

I still “did tech” while in the military though. I bought a satellite dish in a war zone, and sold internet to my colleagues. I learned so much about networking, proxies, dealing with fair use problems, … it was kinda fun sometimes. Except when I just wanted to go to sleep.

Then this one time, I made some prank calling websites (using Skype under the hood, of all things. Twilio really made life easy!) and that shit got me in so much trouble. I was glad to shut it down.

Eventually, I bought a sailboat and worked at startups for a couple of years before meeting my wife. But man, than 5-6 year break was great for me. I highly recommend some kind of break if you think you need a break. As they say in sailing, “if you think you might need X, you do need X. Don’t wait until it’s too late.”

you REALLY don't understand this do you. The entire options market is based on this principal. I have NO idea where you get the idea we day trade. I will try again as it seems that serious investors are reading this thread.

Our approach is to pick a underlying which has an attractive premium for our risk tolerance. To do so we normally look for something whose price is > $50, has high liquidity and has a implied volatility which is attractive to us. We also consider the historical volatility trend for 20 10 5 days and compare it to the 30d implied vol to get a feel for it's cheapness. THEN we look at the 45 day option and SELL premium against that. We tend to look for a probability of profit of 70 -80% and that defines the premium.

In short it's NOT day trading, it's NOT a magic formula and it's NOT a scam. Should anyone wish to listen to ACTUAL serious traders working everyday to help retail investors then look at tastylive.com. Again, I am NOT being paid for this. I just am answering the OP's question regarding what we did post 5 startups to keep us busy. Our approach allows us to risk 25 % of our capital ( just in case it goes wrong we don't lose everything) we get about 10 - 30% return on 100% of our capex. we use the kelly criterion to define our thinking regarding when to get out when we get it wrong. We mostly use naked puts but in the current environment we consider back ratios or spreads. Does ANY of this sound like day trading or some magic formula. I don't really care about your opinion but I wanted to ensure that anyone reading this thread could have something to reality check against other than your "comments"

No, they probably won't. While these drugs are an amazing breakthrough, you still develop tolerance to them and have to keep raising the dose. Also, if you decide to stop, good luck maintaining that low weight without any of the fit lifestyle habits people spend years developing.

It’s brutal, I live near Toronto and not only is the winter sun quite weak but sunny days are quite uncommon. Almost every day is grey and overcast. Combine that with short daylight periods and winter becomes quite the gruelling challenge in terms of mental health especially.
Whole-home PoE for lighting might be another interesting approach!

In either case, you'd need a very beefy DC power supply somewhere to get enough current, or individual power supplies scattered inside walls, etc. which sounds like a maintenance nightmare.
