You got it. A brief technical aside, heat pump performance is hurt by frosting, which happens at intermediate outdoor temps (~35-50F). Basically the outdoor coil is both below freezing, and below the dewpoint of the air. The frost forms a thermal insulating layer around the coil, and intermittently you have to run a defrost cycle to melt off the ice. This is a small hit to system efficiency.
Yes, the internet is not as ubiquitous as some might presume, and not just in rural areas. Some newly developed suburbs of large cities do not have internet connectivity, not even Starlink yet. I have learned about this in Ohio, Delaware, Texas, and most recently in Florida. Some where just too isolated & not big enough for the carriers, some were blocked by politicking, and some I have no idea why.
But the language has another often-used idiom to express a missing value, null.

That’s why this was not intended for usage everywhere.

> They have to use rules.

There are rules and then there are rules. It is the details of the particular rule that is of interest. The use of "AI" in that article seems like clickbait to me.

The article seems to suggest that predictions based on aggregate statistics are being applied to implement strict coverage approval for individuals. That seems like a complete misunderstanding of predictive value of those statistics for a particular individual. Not sure if that is gross incompetance or malfeasance. Either way, a problem.

Find me a country with the population, sprawl, and never ending consumption of processed unhealthy poison like the US.

There isn't one. I'm not saying healthcare in America is perfect or arguing that insurance companies aren't rent seeking or that this can't be changed. I'm just stating that the US is the most unhealthy country there has ever been.
I installed ducts. For me, personally, I think it was worth it. I live in an old home, but someone 50 years ago replaced all of the radiators with baseboard radiators (why???). So ducts over baseboard radiators is a huge upgrade.
"Death panels" was absurd because it's a hyperbolic description of what private "insurers" already did. If you're a corporate bureaucrat tasked with reducing healthcare expenditures ...

I agree that Canada's pushing for classifying suicide as medical treatment is worrying. Suicide is a human right, but making it part of the medical system's all-encompassing paternalism is regressive.

In general we need less intermediation between individuals and medical care, not more. And the "insurance" cartel is one hell of an intermediary. The concept of the HMO is a complete failure, and they should be made illegal for their basic anti-competitiveness.

Individuals can’t enact this sort of heroic change on their own by design with systems this large. There is no single point where the systems behavior can be pivoted. It requires society as a whole to demand the change.
Central gov't making statements to quell a bank run is one of the few things most libertarians will always say is properly in the federal toolkit.
A landlord charges what the market will bear, and a unit sitting empty for a month is expensive, so sometimes they'll charge slightly less. If that doesn't quite cover their own costs, well, they're in this for the long haul, usually, and they'll make it up eventually.

Landlords often don't rent out houses immediately after buying them. They must first either invest in repairs and upgrades to justify a higher rental price, or wait until the housing market itself justifies a higher rental price. For most landlords I've known, their first rental unit involved renting out their own paid-off or almost-paid-off house, and living in a new one they bought. Listing a new unit sometimes means being underwater for the first year or two, but they tell themselves that they're building equity and eventually rents will rise to more than cover their costs--which is eventually true.
Is there a term for someone that is libertarian inclined, but does believe in a minimal level of government regulation and intervention? A "Lite-Libertarian" of sorts.

So true. My products have improved greatly from listening to (some!) user feedback.
Ah, very cool (LOL). Even if it's not totally accurate, getting a ballpark sense of what the costs might be would be huge. Thanks!
I somewhat agree, but at the same time, e-voting via internet and phone has been a thing in Estonia since the 90's. I think it's a terrible idea, but it's how it's done there. I don't think it would be that foolish for people to believe the same concept could be brought into the US, especially if it was under some strange situation like a pandemic. There are even a bunch of blockchain-based startups trying to push the idea, claiming it can be done securely with modern cryptography (which is not true IMO).
There are very good reasons we insure deposits and not shares.

1. (Main reason) We insure deposits is to keep bank runs from happening. That's why it was done here.

2. Insuring stocks costs more money, and creates far more moral hazard.

3. Most people/companies have far more diversified stock portfolios than deposits.
Yeah, but I hate outside!

NO, risk does NOT apply equally to depositors vs stockholders

There is a very well-legislated and well-litigated priority of claims agains a business that goes bankrupt.

It's roughly: first pay 100% of employee's payroll, then apply what's left to secured creditors (for a bank, I'd expect depositors to fall here), then what's left goes to unsecured creditors, then, preferred shareholders, then common shareholders.

Moreover, for all kinds of debt and equity, there are slices of the slices of different risks that can be setup to provide greater return (w/greater risk) or greater security (with lesser return).

Expecting the common shareholders to have anything resembling "equal" risk as the depositors is pure ignorance.
So did the depositors who exceeded the limit for FDIC insurance.

Man, I ordered an 8GB pi over a year ago from CanaKit. I wasn’t in a big hurry to get it, but I was thinking a year was a long time, so I eventually emailed them inquiring about my order—no response, but then a PayPal invoice appeared—I configured my shipping address and paid the invoice. The next day, UPS emailed me with a tracking number. Hurray! Then I noticed the address was completely wrong (wrong city, wrong state). I emailed CanaKit and got no response for a few days (I also tried changing the destination via UPS, but only senders can do that), by which time the Pi had been delivered. I submitted “package delivered to incorrect address” through UPS, and a few hours later I got a paypal email notifying me that I had been refunded.

Not a bad outcome, but I hope I don’t have to wait a year and change for my next Pi order! (:

I also discovered that CanaKit’s advertised “contact us” phone numbers had been disconnected. I’m guessing they were pretty ravaged by the supply chain disruption and laid off support staff. :(

Hope the industry can get back on its feet!

The author ignores that behind the downfall of SVB was a climate of excess liquidity on the markets, a bonanza created by the authorities that made SVB see itself with a glut of funds. Now, SVB, loaded with money, could have tried loaning it like crazy, but instead, decided to go the conservative way and buy bonds.

Someone could argue that they could have foreseen that this abundance of liquidity in the markets, along with the supply chain issues, would eventually lead to inflationary pressures and that once inflation has shown its ugly face, those bond's market value would be discounted, and that they could become vulnerable to a bank run.

But in the end, even if we could argue that SVB should have been more prescient, it is clear that the root cause of the problems is the actions of the government and the FED.

That said, please don't confuse me with a libertarian; I am just raising a somewhat contrarian point. Being called a libertarian would be an enormous source of shame and disgust for my mom.
Agreed. @mehalter, why would I want Astro vs, say Lunar? What itches is it scratching? I'm a fairly happy LunarVIM user, though I largely feel that Lunar is more oriented towards a VSCode experience, where I'm more of a "just give me vim with LSP and other productivity enhancements and a sane config" guy.
no it doesn't. there is no financial reward from having a deposit in a bank, and therefore there should be no risk. the measly interest that a savings account pays shouldn't even be considered.

we are _forced_ to use banks because of the need for cashless transactions. if government had a bank that 1) did not engage in lendigg or investment; 2) offered no interest payments on deposits; 3) only settled cashless transactions -- i would use that, and i bet most people would.

“Asset manager makes bad investment loses money.” Slow news day.
This reminds me of one of my favorite books from the past couple years, A Libertarian Walks Into a Bear.

It’s a fascinating deep dive into an attempt to create a sort of libertarian utopia in a small town called Grafton, New Hampshire. The speed at which they arrive at “we need government services” after they eviscerate government services is… unsurprising.

10/10 I highly recommend it for anyone that’s interested in real-life examples of libertarianism as applied to real populations in the real world.

Similar. I've ended up at these functions in .bashrc:

log() {
printf "$(date +%Y-%m-%d--%H:%M) %s\n" "$*" >> $journal
}

# Query the journal

ldo() {
sed -i "$1 s/@todo/@done/" $journal
sed -i "$1 s/$/ \[COMPLETED $(date +%Y-%m-%d--%H:%M)\]/" $journal
}

I think electrical engineers having done some RF designs generally regard audiophiles as flat-earthers explaining what is wrong with a flat map; they might get it right now and then, but always for the wrong reasons. Remember how in the 90ties you could hear an SMS coming to a phone near an audio device? Right! No physical connection and sure you can’t hear the 900mhz ish gsm signal, but the rectified and smoothed signal had an audible time division multiplexing (envelope). And the carrier wave often resonated with paths in the signaling path of the audio device.
> The solution to the severe understaffing is not enabling quackers that end up recommending their patients MMS or against chemoterapy like they did with Steve Jobs.

I agree it isn't the solution.

> We could have actual doctors giving that device and detecting symptoms early,

One potential lesson is that we don't need full on doctors giving advice. We need people trained to forward to a real doctor if something really wrong is going on, but for a crap ton of problems, someone with basic medical (or just lifestyle/health) training is enough.

Heck there was one study that showed that elderly folks talking to each other about their arthritis pain while getting an evening drink at their local watering hole served to reduce pain symptoms.

Chatting with local bartenders and barbers can be nearly as good as professional therapy for some issues.

Having someone trusted just listen and parrot back common sense advice works really damn well.

Trusting the source of the advice, and believing it will work, has a huge impact on treatment.
This article read kinda weird to me.

It doesn't seem like it's about entrepreneurship, project development, open-source software, or the number of projects one has under their belt. It does attempt to position itself as if it were about those things, though.

This post is about bragging. Bragging is not an attractive behavioral pattern. Don't do it. Full stop. I don't disagree nor do I think anyone I associate with would push back much on the idea. It doesn't seem worth blogging about.

I would be more interested in a post that tries to convince the reader of the value of maintaining multiple projects, or one that focuses on how to effectively market a project.
The idea that people will consume infinite qualities of zero information nonsense and become simultaneously disconnected from base-reality and unable to act, yet also converted into puppets with no will of their own and thus only actors for those who feed them drivel makes no sense.

AI can't simultaneously drive beople into theses opposite states. Because then I could just train an AI to output only "good" information and harvest "good" minds to manipulate for "good" social purposes.

I would make an AI that cultivates communities and never gets tired of the boring parts of organizing.

It's no different than the misinformation from the environment: is that a tiger (predator) or a bird (prey). is that food or poison? Whining about scale is unimaginative.

Federated E2EE can work. Matrix did it. But it took lots of extra time, a time cost imposed structurally on the project by being open to third parties who had to coordinate to get things deployed. It's especially painful when you run up against protocol vulnerabilities, doubly so when the fixes for those vulnerabilities involve policy decisions that are their own coordination problems, which is a jam I think Matrix is in right now. All of this is stuff Moxie Marlinspike more or less predicted in his post.

Again: you can get past this stuff, and Matrix will. But Matrix is going to get through this because their use cases (more or less: replace IRC and Slack) are forgiving. Signal's aren't.

My gripe isn't that HN users refuse to tough out Signal's rough edges; I certainly don't ask my own family to use Signal to talk to me (I use Signal for things that matter, and little else). My gripe is that HN people who should know better don't seem to respect, or at least understand, the painful decisions that Signal made to support its use cases, and instead write weird little essays about how Moxie Marlinspike, the "brilliant cryptographer", built Signal this way because it was fun. It doesn't look super fun to me.
Session (https://getsession.org/) would be a good alternative for someone like the author. No captcha, no SIM/phone no. needed, decentralized protocol.

I'd been using Signal for a few years when I discovered Session. Yes, it doesn't have all the nice-to-have features that Signal seems to be adding recently, but it does secure messaging well.
I consider myself to be pretty libertarian but the idea that an intervention was going to cost the government any amount of money that didn't equate to a rounding error is ridiculous. Coupled the contagion it could have caused, this was an easy decision. They had enough in assets to cover 95% of deposits. They weren't just super liquid.
That's very interesting: I'm not sure how to feel about this. On one hand, it aligns with my ethics to shut-down the operations of sanctioned companies to minimize their harm. On the other,

1. Ethics are relative

2. Should open-source contributions be dependent on such ethics?

On (1), I'm sure non-Americans would have ethical qualms with our Defense companies. Would I be okay with the hypothetical of letting a non-American company stop open-source development on a useful Lockheed Martin tool?

On (2), I have personally seen open-source contributions from sanctioned companies, e.g. Megvii. Is it fair to ban those employees (who may simply be unwilling to go through the hoops of immigration)?

As an aside, perhaps this repo could move to GNU Savannah?
Speaking of late-stage capitalism, the actual problem here is that we've built the infrastructure for a rather authoritarian form of computerized socialism -- but under capitalist ownership. So we all walk around pretending a car that can repossess itself if you miss a loan payment is a piece of private property, when the physical infrastructure says that it's social property.

Yeah I mean a dinosaur extinction meteor could hit the planet but for most people the determination of risk ends around “Complete collapse of USA/EU governments and their currency”.

It’s probably the most fundamental axiomatic assumption underlying any normal discussion of financial risk.

In other countries, it isn’t. “How can we manage a complete collapse of the Filipino government?” Is a reasonable question.

If the US government collapses, Coinbase won’t have a market to operate in so further discussion doesn’t matter.

Of course, they made a mistake.

I think what they did was invest too heavily in up&coming banks rather than traditional banks. With the rationale that their technology was more modern.
