In Australia, I believe private health insurers use a shared-risk model.

Basically, they cannot deny anyone insurance based on health/age.

Once a year, all insurers submit their claims data to a central pool. They will then need to pay a certain amount to the pool, or get a refund based on their claims vs the rest of their providers.

That means risk is shared between all companies, and they don't need to deny people plans like in this case on the chance they get too many "bad customers".
Because it's expensive.

Life is really weird for me. If you go by the numbers, we seem to have the best availability of, well, everything, compared to 30 or 40 years ago.

But as someone that has lived through that timeframe, it feels like those things are a cheap, hollow, plastic piece of shit version of their former selves.
Institutional investors are making a lot of $$$ of these crypto folks ! Arbitragists, Hedge Funds etc.
Yes. If you want to invest your money with a chance you will lose it in exchange for earning interest, invest it into a bank savings account.

If you just want an electronic money account with which you can send and receive and store electronic funds, and not risk losing it, keep it with the government.

And add legislation with it that requires the government to provide everyone with an account, even criminals, and it cannot be closed, and any seizures have to be from court orders, but the ability to transfer/store money electronically remains an inalienable right.
Because I am far less likely to trust encyclopedic content written by an AI, which can lie so convincingly that it does not know that it is lying. I have even seen it generating fictional source references that are hard to verify.

They're not fallacies, they're fundamental disagreements.

1. No, animals do not have rights.

2. No, animal lives are not morally equal to human lives.

3. No, eating animals is not cruel.

If you disagree with these then that's fine, we can have a discussion about that, but you have to understand that not everyone agrees with you on these points otherwise you'll become that annoying vegan that pushes their beliefs on everyone.
If the lack of some services allows it (maybe not given the chip, but it was enough for me) I recommend using esp-hal+esp-wifi rather than esp-idf-hal, it is a pure rust 'rewrite' and it's been a great experience compared to esp-idf(c++). Default is bare-metal but embassy resolves most of the need of an rtos.
I seem to have a gift for understatement so to make this explicit: I'd put ~20% chance that we are in the beginning stages of a banking crisis. Banking crises are not the end of the world, but they are substantially worse than the failures of an individual bank

I'd put it at 5-95%. In other words, who knows. The big one is something like Schwab. It was down at one point 20% today.

Interesting because hands often look weird in dreams. A trick to know if you're lucid dreaming is to look at your hands.
That's pretty neat. In general I think stuff like this is cool and works pretty well as a starter kit for simple CRUD apps if you don't already know Rails + JS, but like I said in my OP, once your app gets more complex, you hire some UX designers and you try to make your app more interactive, not having easy JS access makes it hard to do interesting things.

So could be useful for small projects but I wouldn't pick a solution like this for projects I would want to grow larger

Arguably the only purpose of a bank is that you have access to your money at any time you wish, if they can't honor that, they're not doing a good job to say the least.
US doesn’t need to be in Taiwan to fight the war. Taiwan can handle the ground fighting if it comes to that. The US will fight in air and sea, and Okinawa and Guam will be main bases. Taiwan itself will be too dangerous although US bases might be targets. If they can get through, better to send weapons than US troops.

Transport is a small contributor to emissions. For most food products, it accounts for less than 10%, and it’s much smaller for the largest GHG emitters. In beef from beef herds, it’s 0.5%.

Very little food is air-freighted; it accounts for only 0.16% of food miles.

Many of the foods people assume to come by air are actually transported by boat – avocados and almonds are prime examples. Shipping one kilogram of avocados from Mexico to the United Kingdom would generate ... only around 8% of avocados’ total footprint. Even when shipped at great distances, its emissions are much less than locally-produced animal products.

Yeah. In the C++ codebase I work on, we use folly::Expected<T, E> (essentially similar to Rust's Result<T, E>) heavily. Is it as ergonomic as Result is in Rust? Absolutely not. But it's still a nice design pattern for some of the same reasons people use Result in Rust.

(And C++ std::optional<T> is somewhat similar to Rust's Option<T> type.)

NFTs best real usecase was in logistics as a kind of unique item-ledger providing a secure history of custody and important details about the item of concern during its movements.

All the digital ownership stuff is whack funny money low rates bullshit. That usecase for it is a concession that the copyright industry got it right, which is obviously not the case. NFTs just don't have the muscle to prop themselves up like Copyright does.
Yes, the same people seeing their fiat at risk finally understand the point of crypto is control and not NFTs. Hope they're smart enough to keep it safe and not on an exchange though, defeats the purpose.
Oh right, I forget, they merely announced that they had liquidated their entire AFS book at a $2 billion realized loss? That makes more sense, the accountants wouldn't have allowed to sell the HTM securities. That doesn't make it better, it makes it worse. Banks don't normally sell securities at a loss in their AFS book, nor do they normally liquidate their entire AFS book to raise cash. These were recklessly alarming moves for SVB to be signaling to the market.
I was making a joke in reference to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZe5J8SVCYQ
The statement they made when announcing this was that for the US they're working with T-Mobile, and that they would work with any other company around the world that wants to have the service on their spectrum.
I find the euphemistic use of “impacted” to be more irritating than the passive voice.

“Seventeen of our teammates were laid off today” still suffers from the passive voice, but is much more up-front.

(Plus, presumably many other teammates will be impacted to one degree or another by the departure of these 17.)
"SQL is worse" is a nonsensical comparison. The problems of ORMs add to the problems of SQL and compound the problems of SQL, they do not substitute the problems of SQL.

I'm glad you found an ORM you like, but it seems we have very different experiences with ORMs.
This is interesting. What sizes are you seeing this for?
I first used Swift at the same time. Cocoapods actually worked, but only after fighting it all day. Swift was recommended over ObjC, but it was broken. The compiler itself would segfault if I used the wrong map syntax. If the compiler worked, it took about 20X as long as an ObjC build. Core Data managed to produce non-optional objects that were nil in some cases.

Swift got fixed over time (which is why every basic SO question has 20 different answers for each Swift version), but it still sucks, and so does UIKit, and Xcode. That whole toolchain has been relegated to being just a dependency behind React Native for me.

Enterprise SSDs almost always include power loss protection capacitors on the drive itself, so the drive can either directly advertise that it's write caches are non-volatile or simply ignore cache flush requests from the host since data in the cache can already be considered durable from the host's perspective.

Unfortunately for this product, enterprise M.2 SSDs are almost always 110mm long rather than 80mm long, precisely because of the space taken up by those capacitors.

Some stories end with that last conversation between the villain and the hero. "Well, you've won. You've outsmarted me again. I guess I couldn't triumph after all."

I don't know, that still feels wrong. The "What next?" in the contrived is "What [will I see] next?" The "what next" in the title is short for "what [is] next," which feels specifically made for "what's next."

> while your dime-a-dozen 10k Twitter follower artist got nothing

Very condescending and, at the same time, not true at all. Many existing artists did much better in revenue than ever in the way of getting paid for their craft during the rise of NFTs, there were many spaces where artists would brag about their success and help onboard others into the space, often paying their transaction fees.

For many of the small audience artists it's very sad the momentum faded, and the spring of generative AI doesn't help them either.
using subroutines was common practice when 16 kibibytes was a lot of core, it was common practice before fortran existed, it was common practice before people used assemblers, and it wasn't just common practice in academia but also in places like ibm, cdc, hp, burroughs, and librascope general precision

(it's true, though, that they were expensive)

from my point of view the problem with arrays, json, etc., is not the performance but the failures of orthogonality which require you to memorize a zillion special cases, which i think is what you're saying about 'a thoughtful, principled manner'

Agreed. How about:

"We fcked up. Sorry. We really did. We're looking to identify the source of the decision. We'll be placing the person, or group of people, responsible on a performance plan (that will include the leadership team if appropriate). If they make continued similar mistakes, they'll be fired, or their compensation will be impacted. In the mean time, we'll be working hard to help the 17 poor souls who were sacrificed on the alter of this mistake".

Since the victorian era, photography has been used as part of welfare campaigning. It was heavily used to document the condition of the working classes in the UK, as part of the victorian attempt to alleviate systemic poverty. Photographs of the east end of london, Slums in britain at large, Slums of Glasgow, the tenaments. It continued throughout the 20th century. I am sure there were US equivalents documenting the condition of housing in Chicago, New York and surrounds.

It was used during the depression as part of the WPA activity to document the conditions of migrant workers and displaced people in the dustbowl.

It has been used consistently by primarily left wing parties to document social conditions as part of their campaigns for political change.

I'm a full stack contractor. Been following generative AI since late last year. Picked up an AI startup gig in early January. Launched a couple weeks ago. Building out the client, API, server, and orchestrating the AI image generation pipeline plus Dreambooth. Choosing an AI GPU provider (or 3), solving prompt issues, figuring out model settings, making sure it can scale. A lot of the models are all comoditized on providers like Replicate which makes it like any other API based project. AI knowledge is still very useful to know what settings to use with the models though.

Please stop repeating this. It is 100% about risky investments. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/mar/11/silicon-val...

Also, if your entire clientbase is in a single groupchat, you should be much more prepared for a bank run. This is like common-sense stuff. The fact that this is a bad business model isn't really my concern.

> The bank managers and investors are not being bailed out -- they have already lost everything.

The bank managers will walk away having earned millions of dollars in salary and bonuses, funded by risky bets, and the investors will walk away without bearing the consequences of the risks SVB took. Their investments in SVB went to zero, but there's still money that's been lost.
True, but those linesets introduce other downsides. They can't be cut to length, so you often have to have unsightly loops of extra line set somewhere, and the loops can potentially trap the oils that mix with the refrigerant to lubricate the compressor. They're also much more expensive, and anecdotally, I've heard of leaks from over/under tightening the threaded connections.

Not to mention, installing them without an EPA 608 certification is technically illegal. MrCool and others that use them are relying on the EPA being understaffed and unlikely to pursue homeowners, but their stance on it is perfectly clear:

"Is technician certification required to install an R-410A mini-split?

Yes. Adding or removing refrigerant from a mini-split as part of installation, and/or connecting or disconnecting hoses or pre-charged lines requires a section 608 technician certification. Activities reasonably expected to violate the integrity of the refrigerant circuit include but are not limited to: Attaching or detaching hoses and gauges to and from the appliance; adding or removing refrigerant; adding or removing components; and cutting the refrigerant line."

Rust was initially created in 2006. Mozilla started sponsoring Rust in 2009. Maybe you're talking about the first stable release, which happened in 2015? Rust has been around for longer than the first stable release though.

First spike at Google Trends for "Rust (Programming Language)" happened back in late 2013/early 2014 (https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=%2Fm%2F0...) so not at all impossible for someone to have ~10 years experience with it. Although that's probably pretty uncommon.

As a bonus, here is a very old (by internet time standards) HN submission titled "Mozilla releases version 0.1 of the Rust programming language (mail.mozilla.org)" - 236 points | Jan 23, 2012 | 82 comments - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3501980
Sure, if you use a nonsense example you get nonsense results. Not really blaming you for that, I have no idea why people acted like an NFT with a url payload represented ownership given that it didnt interact with any of our systems of ownership.

The hypothetical under examination here is if I built a system that used NFT ownership as ownership of some in game thing - it represents a promise to value a given token, which is wholly different from the star thing (they dont value that certificate in a meaningful way). If your first instinct is to launch into a tirade about how dumb that is then great - total agreement. But, you could build it and it would work, and it would be meaningfully different from star ownership certificates.

Thank goodness credit scores are mostly useless in the UK.
I actually used Experian lately. I was a prospective tenant of an apartment and the landlord wanted a credit report. It seems that no one really cares about it being a full-hard-hit report anymore, at least for these sorts of things, but they _did_ want more than a screenshot of my FICO score from my bank app.

Experian's PDF version of my FICO score looked very official, and I got the apartment.

It's harder than I thought to get both my FICO score and my name on the same page/screenshot.
