These numbers are pretty far off for me. I have:

- $4,000 deductible

- $8,000 Out of pocket max

Get rid of zoning, stop financializing homes as a financial asset, and this problem will go away. The market is actually pretty good at solving this issue. If homes get expensive, they'll replace houses with apartments and condos, or build more homes. This will increase supply to keep up with demand.

> Would people here get angry if I started calling them Land Yachts?

Probably. Because it's absurd to compare a multi-million dollar yacht with helicopter landing pads (yes plural), a 40' swimming pool and 10k sq ft of living space with someone who crams themselves into a tiny uncomfortable box trying to get some semblance of freedom. One of these things is attainable by most folks with a steady income and one of these isn't even attainable by the poor single digit millionaires.

If nothing changes I think the endgame is increasing ownership of housing by investment firms. As prices increase, they will be the only actors with consistent access to the kind of capital needed to buy real estate.

Add financial services like 10cent and you won't have to.
Well, yeah. That's what we collectively get when we turn a place to live into a for-profit hellhole where 'Money' (read: asset companies, landlords, flippers, AirBNB scalpers) keep the supply so the rest of us can't actually live.

You all want to see the reality we have now? Go no further than "Married with Children", where a sole earner as a retail shoe salesman could have a 2 story house in a suburb with a car garage. Now, they'd be lucky for a 1 bedroom in a bad part of town. And this show wasn't about opulence - far from it. It was showing trashy white people and how "those" people live. And even they had a fucking house.

Same with The Simpsons. It was "normal" to have a 2 story house with a garage, in a suburb with 1 parent working out of the house, and 1 parent stay-at-home. This normal left us in the late 90's and went BOOM with the 2000 .com-bomb .

And you're getting squeezed HARD if you're in an apartment, trailer park, or trying to buy a house. Its not a place to live - it's a place to be a landlord and generate continual rent on those you're extorting. And with 40 years of deregulation and pro-capitalist pro-landlord actions and laws, this will only get worse and worse.

Biden is only the scapegoat for 40 years of terrible policy, that both the R's and D's both engaged in. Both parties extensively are part and engage in the landlord class. In fact, the constitution only initially allowed the landlord (land-owner) class to vote.

The most capable CAS platform, and one of the most widely used, was the B-1 bomber. Flying in circles for hours and dropping scores of guided bombs.

The best CAS in GWOT would have been the Super Tucano if the program hadn't taken so long. It would have done the same job as A-10 but much cheaper.

The CAS mission is obsolete outside of counterinsurgency. MANPADs mean that going low and slow is a death trap. Getting low and slow was needed in the past to identify targets and make dumb weapons accurate. Now fighters fly at medium altitude for safety and drop guided weapons. Ukraine shows that medium altitude is dangerous with near-peer conflict without air supremacy.

The F-35 is required to gain air supremacy. If you have them, might as well use them for ground support. I think drones will change things with CAS. On one end, can have small attack helicopter drones for direct support. On the other, can have large drone that loiters for long time dropping bombs. The F-35 will be used for things it is good at.

One of my favorite "MS Paint" clones is KolourPaint[1]. I've been using it for over a decade (you have to search around to get it on non-linux platforms but I presently have it on MacOS). One of my favorite features is how it handles transparency, where it's just treated like another "color".

Mathematician proves that Möbius band must have an aspect ratio greater than √3
As an anecdotal comparison, over the last year or so, I have lost about 15% of my body weight through diet and exercise, going from 220 down to 190 today. I did this with exercise (walking exclusively for six months, then shifting to walking plus weight training with a coach twice a week). Nothing extreme.

I also use a scale that does body mass measurements (consumer grade). It says:

1. My fat-free body weight went from 148.6 down to 143.2.

2. My muscle mass is down from 142 down to 136 (see below)

3. I have had no bone loss of bone mass.

As I was walking, I seemed to consistently lose about 25% of the weight in muscle. My weight loss stopped as I started hitting the weights, but I started putting on about a pound per month in muscle, which is very visible on my core and arms.

Peter Attia has a nuanced medical take on the drug, based on interactions with his patients (short video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6fhFLv2ERs). His take was that the drug works and there are very few side effects. He also uses it as a last resort, as he has seen his patients lose far more bone mass and muscle than he would like. However, it is a lifesaver for people who don't have success with other methods.

Personally, I don't want to use it, but don't judge others for making the right medical decisions for themselves.
I think it's a little harmful to start saying "real science" — this is something that is at times meant to discredit psychology entirely, so it's an unfortunately loaded phrase.

The problem with carbon fiber and epoxy composites. Once it cracks, you cannot repair it, easily. It relies on a continuous composite structure. You can't patch it because that patchwork joint will just be a weak spot.

So you are talking about writing off tens of millions of dollars of a boat just because someone lost control and hit something too hard.

Whatever reason the old city isn't attractive to the next generation, it is completely reasonable for people to want to fix it at the national level.

If you don't, you will only concentrate all kinds of problems on your largest cities, and even invent some wild new problem because cities can not survive all by themselves.

That said, a tax based on what city you happened to be born or identify with is the kind of weirdness that my culture can't assimilate. But it may make complete sense there (maybe because it's more traditionalist? do they want to be that traditionalist?).

> I think Rust is lose lose, because the underlying type implementation is Turing complete

I am not a Rust coder so I can't really comment.

Worse than useless. Consider the social and economic utility of people that piss others off.

No actual harm caused. Not bad people. Just those neighbours or colleagues or friend’s significant others that, through selfishness and lack of awareness or simply bullheadedness, question everything and come up creative (sometimes not totally legit or invited) workarounds.

Those people do not survive such regimes. And the societies blighted of them show it rather quickly.
I haven’t so far found any zig code terribly hard to reason about, and it’s important to know that compile time type crafting (currently) doesn’t support decls. Although you can madness your way around that, theres idiomatic ways to manage this.

Comptime is definitely very powerful, and even the top people using zig frown upon “magic”.

But to be completely honest, “magic” shit just happens all the time if you enable it. Rust macro abuse to get “magic” comes to mind. If it happens in rust, it’ll certainly happen in zig.

The alternative is that they don’t collect the data. If companies can’t afford to shelter the data, delete it when asked, etc., there is an easy fix! Don’t collect and store it!
As a California resident who regularly opts out of data collection (and also, incidentally, works in tech), as a consumer I don't really care what you or your clients think. I just want you to comply with the law.

A remarkably high percentage of our legal framework is designed to protect a very small number of people from being exploited by another small number of people. Yes, the costs of implementing these laws are high, but the societal benefits are, in aggregate, huge.

My personal information is my own, just like my house, my car, my investments, my copyrights, and bank accounts. And I expect there to be laws that protect it, allow me to control it, and restrict how others can use it just as there are for my other assets.

If applying these laws is inconvenient, then that speaks volumes as to how overdue these laws were.
This looks interesting, codifying and automating promotion looks cool.

Exactly this. And, a hard look at building construction standards in regards to HVAC, electrical and plumbing could help too. Plumbing is about $5.25 sq/ft for new construction [1] and electrical is about $9 sq/ft [2]. On a 2,000 sq/ft house, this is almost $30,000 alone. Permit costs should be looked at too. In my city, permit costs alone are $5,000 [3]. Permitting also has a hidden cost, because frequently in my city, the inspections take months. My neighbor's 1800 sq/ft 2bed 2 bath house build took two years, most of it spent waiting for inspections. This increases costs substantially.

That may be the hypothesis that you are entertaining, but that’s not the comment I was responding to.

Nor is it a particularly well-formulated or convincing hypothesis, your cherry-picked examples notwithstanding. We don’t have evolutionary-timescale experience with medicine, electricity, the written word, or democracy either. How we think prehistorical people groups may have arranged their societies is almost completely irrelevant for modern policymakers, which is what this article is actually about. We have a long list of better ways to make this decision than “Hmm, well, how do uncontacted Amazon tribes of a few dozen people structure things? Perhaps we should just copy that in our nation of 300 million people?”
I didn't first realize that you were commenting my post - but I did say two things:
1) There's no such thing as a culture which doesn't change. Culture is a living thing. It changes, even if you never have a single immigrant. My parent's culture wasn't the same as mine, even back when there were no immigrants and hardly anyone coming from elsewhere in the country.
2) I also clarified in a later post that to me the culture is enhanced, i.e. there's more to it than before.

I definitely don't have any feeling of loss of culture, I guess that's my point.

> To give disadvantaged children better futures, policy makers should promote widespread employment and economic security among a wider segment of the population—particularly non-college-educated men.

And therein lies the problem. We've seen for years how every call for minimum wage increases or labor rights is met with "You're only worth what the market will bear. If you want more money and better treatment, you'd better make yourself worth more to the market!", yet when the shoe is on the other foot, and the labor market favors workers, policymakers treat it as an _emergency_ requiring immediate correction. Unemployment expansion was cancelled at the state level (despite evidence that people on unemployment assistance find work faster), employers strongly resisted any call for wage increases or working condition improvements, opting to whine "No one wants to work anymore" to anyone who would listen, and the Federal Reserve started hiking rates as quickly as it could despite little evidence that inflation was caused by anything other than supply chain difficulties.

The unspoken yet universal policy preference of our governments is to weaken and impoverish workers to the greatest extent possible to ensure enough of us are compliant and desperate enough to take any job at any wage.
