> The government needs to take charge of insurance like we have in the UK

Let's compare outcomes. Do you personally think the healthcare received by the average UK citizen is better than the US? It is easy to whinge about the problems. It is hard to find solutions. For all the glaring deficits of the US systems - maybe it works okay? Democracy is the worst system...

I'm in NZ. The public healthcare system has its benefits but it definitely has its costs (I've recently been dealing with expensive private healthcare providers in a situation where the public system wasn't achieving the outcomes we needed).
Is there any survivorship bias in looking at children of married couples?

The wiki page on climate change [1] explains that climate change was already a growing to be preferred term earlier than Frank Luntz memo. Which I think is correct because it is much more accurate. There is a lot more to climate change than global warming.

Can this reasonably reliably steer speculative execution?
There seem to be several issues with the current trial system:

* Search and filtering is very difficult

* After identifying the trial, it's hard to find if it's even open

* Need to establish care at the hospital conducting the study before determining eligiblity, but sometimes can rule out eligiblity earlier

* Can't usually establish care across state lines via telemedicine

It all seems very inefficient, or at least, not optimized for someone trying to find the most promising trial.
> fully understood the challenges they'd face to get their companies off the ground, they would never have pursued it

What kind of challenges is that? I'm genuinely curious. I don't particularly see the job of an entrepreneur as difficult. Not in the sense that it's easy to be successful, but in the sense that it's laborious, painful, sufferable, miserable, relentless, etc.

For example, I'd consider medical surgeon a pretty difficult career. Years of study and practice. 24h+ shifts. Dealing with life and death on a consistent basis.

So I'm interested what are the kinds of hardships faced by entrepreneurs that get them to say that?

I realize I'm unusual for the HN demographic, but...

I don't really use the camera on my smartphone, so see no need to replace it. I carry a wallet with the few cards I need daily anyway, so no change there (and even if I didn't need to carry cards, I still need somewhere to keep cash) I don't use my phone to pay for things or access services, so I'm not concerned about doing those things when mobile. I can do what I need to do online from my desktop machine at home.

I do need GPS, but it will be in my pocket computer, so that's fine. I don't need to have online access for this to be useful because I really only use GPS for specific planned activities anyway, so I can preload any maps I might need.

> i only knew of 1 or two (kyocera) that allowed tethering, so now you also have to figure out how to get internet onto your pocket computer - another sim, another bill.

I'm not particularly worried about having the pocket computer be always connected to the internet. I can easily get by without having a constant connection. The pocket computer will have Wifi, which will cover situations where I want to have the machine connect to the internet.
It's probably not fair to say futurism laid the groundwork for fascism. There was an intersection between those two movements. But Futurism wasn't a core principle within Fascism's final form (other than breaking from tradition).

Very specific queries.

"I run every single day, how have my heart and muscles changed in the last x years."

"Can I pressure cook seitan in two sessions, so I cook it along with my soup as well?"

"The character from my book gets a little annoying in chapter 16, does that get better (no spoilers.)"

Either of these would have you wading through tons of random websites to collect the necessary information, and in the case of the cooking questions through a load of noisy SEO'd cooking websites, ugh.

Wgen asking the LLM I get a specific answer to my exact query. It comes with uncertainty (hallucination etc.) but either it's a topic where fuzziness is irrelevant or a search enabled LLM grounds the truth and gets rid of most hallucinations.

Either way, sifting through search results is not what I want to do if I want a specific question answered, that's a machine's job.
The alternative is to create your own framework (named officially so, or not) which is by definition unsupported, unless your org prioritizes it. At which point you're in an identical position. Why not take advantage of the time it _is_ supported?

Maybe I just have low standards for literature, I didn't realize so many people disliked the books but on r/scifi and here on HN people really dislike the Three Body Problem series.

I liked it but after the first 50 pages of book one I realized "Oh, this is anime". I think that having consumed a lot of anime in my teenage years I have more tolerance for story arcs that overstay their welcome, but make up for it with epic twists/payoff. I think that these expectations make it more palatable.

Dave Plummer is making an amazing job in his channel with the things about Microsoft. This interview with Dave Cutler cannot be missed.
In my European country there is a somewhat common view that there are other kinds of work that also need doing. For instance, taking care of the young and elderly is often done by women in their ‘own’ time. When paid, this is considered work. When unpaid, it is not. However the net benefits to the community are more or less the same and the work needs doing.
It may be that society is actually better off when people are wealthy enough to allocate resources to unpaid labor as needs demand.
> make the doctors support the initiative at the expense of the pharma industry

(Full disclosure: family member works for Big Pharma)

You might not get them to admit it out loud, but Big Pharma sees the USA as the cash cow that funds R&D for everyone on the planet. If a potential product can't or won't ever make it to market in the USA, or if there aren't enough potential patients in the USA to be prescribed said product, then it might never get off the drawing board.

It's (unfortunately) that simple.

> You generally can’t auto-generate useful [architecture diagrams] from code,

The question is: why is this the case?

IMNSHO, the reason is that we don't have a way to express architecture in or as code. Instead, we have to compile the actual architecture of the system into one that is expressible using the call/return architectural style that our programming languages support.

That's a lossy process.

When we can program with actual architectural connectors, auto-generating useful architectural diagrams becomes trivial.

The best Operating System: Linux vs. FreeBSD vs. Windows
Yes. It’s brutal. I earn a somewhat low income by SV standards, but my income (excluding my wife’s) is around 3.5x the city’s household income average. I recently bought a house for $1M and the mortgage eats 40% of my income. This was the low end of the market for a family home.

I wonder almost every day what ~70% of the city is doing to survive. We are very diligent about spending and while we’re comfortable, we still need to be careful. That’s insane. The situation is bad. Our local subreddit is loaded with people who are struggling, leaving, venting, etc. over money and work. It’s the worst I’ve ever seen it.

Also weird: Victoria is the most expensive by many measures, yet remote work salary ranges never consider Victoria an expensive city. Vancouver, Toronto, they’re always on the list of course. But never Victoria. I had to turn down a role recently because it was around $40k per year lower than I’d earn in Vancouver, and I found their inflexibility and unreasonable stance on the matter incredibly concerning. I would pay almost exactly the same amount to live in Vancouver, but their calculator disagreed.
A potentially better solution that also allows you to use all the functionality of your text editor (in addition to saving input form text in your editor's scratch buffer that survives a crash without core dumps) is to use the GhostText plugin on input forms

Though the best design would be for the OS to be extensible and allow you to use your text editor in any text input form, this way you'd have to care about a lot fewer apps disrespecting users by easily loosing user input
No, not just that, but before the idea that most systems would be internet connected.

NT's design was started in 1989 and 3.1 was released in 1993 - development started a full 7 years before the idea of a connected world was commonplace, and a full 12 years before wide deployment of broadband.

Whatever comes along that is a clean break with NT, and Unix - will have these assumptions built in.

>The depth of their trauma was a departure,

I get the impression that combat vets of WWI were no less traumatized, but society didn't talk about it and preferred to talk about heroism, duty, honor, etc. Traumatized soldiers were counter to the prevailing narrative, seen as an embarrassment that people didn't want to think about.

The term "the halting problem" typically refers to the problem "given a Turing machine and a starting state of the tape, determine if the Turing machine will halt".

There are other versions of the halting problem for systems that are more limitted than a Turing machine, such as finite automata ("given a finite automaton and an initial state, determine if the automaton will halt"). Some of these other versions are indeed solvable, such as the one you mention. But these are different problems, not the same problem as THE halting problem. As far as it is known today, all such systems are strictly less powerful than Turing machines (that is, for any system where it is provable if a computation in that system halts, there are problems that it can't solve that a Turing machine can) - this is known as the Church-Turing thesis.

Hyper-computation refers to models of computation where THE halting problem (does an arbitrary Turing machine halt) is solvable.

I think the more heinous "conservative" (as you put it) changes are related to physical conditions and the euphemism treadmill.

George Carlins "soft language" specifically spells out an example; shell-shock, battle fatigue -> Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

I think making a term so long that it becomes an acronym is definitely part of this.

The most up-to-the-minute example I can think of is "CSAM" which removes all pain of the victims. For those not in the know "kiddie porn" as it was once known was rebranded to "child rape images", then "child abuse images" now finally "child sexual abuse images" which is now so long that it is oft abbreviated CSAM.

You are right though, there's a lot of newspeak, my (least) favourite example is "pro-life" which is a glorious bit of double-think.

In France, when I go to the hospital, I get what I suspect Americans would describe as a war hospital. No separation between indoors and outdoors, blood from previous patients dragged several meters, cops in front of the doors of the surgery room (probably the same cops who did a homelessness “maraude” the same night). It takes 6hrs no matter your problem (saw a guy with a finger cut, 6hrs too) (omg saw an elderly couple whose husband was suddenly deaf, as in, probably a cerebral attack, and they WENT HOME because they couldn’t lie anywhere. Without seeing a doc. I was heartwrenched).

Let me guess, are American hospitals a bit cleaner? Are nurses underpaid? Are doctors underpaid like in France, as in, a webdeveloper earns more than a doctor?
Sigh. I wish you were wrong.
I am not sure how Ferrari enforces it but since customers are in need of official servicing, Ferrari has plenty of ways to enforce their rights. They can just refuse servicing the car or selling parts to the unacknowledged second hand buyer which can reduce the value greatly.
What strikes me about the system described by the article is that it predates IRC by a couple of years.

I’m actually not clear that the ACA isn’t tougher than that. The ACA introduced a 85% medical loss ratio. I thought that required them to spend 85% of premiums on payouts. That limits profits to an obvious maximum of 15%, but there are other expenses (advertising and so on) that also cut into that 15%. In practice, maximum profit will be lower than 15%.

That said, I haven’t gone into this in tremendous depth, so I’m kinda hoping someone can confirm or deny my understanding.

I'm OK with the prospect of dying (luckily). I have no serious responsibilties; nobody depends any more on me continuing to live.

I can understand how attachment makes death a separation from everything, so a cause of dread for many; what I can't really understand is struggling to stay alive when the odds are heavily stacked against you. That must cause more pain and dread than just facing reality.

I hope I don't sound callous or mean.

In the course of my work as an ambulance chaser, I spend a considerable amount of time reviewing medical records and bills - including all sorts of unrelated treatment.

I agree with your concerns with the AMA et al. It’s clear that we are way overpaying SOME doctors and hospitals.

It’s also clear that our demand for medical treatment is almost insatiable and about as inelastic as it gets.

Ie we need to tell some drs and hospitals, fu the gravy train is over; but we also need to tell Joe Public, no you don’t have an existential right to wegovy.

I can see longer than 90 days if there's some HUGE change required, and a decent sized team is allocated to the problem for most of their work time. OR if there's a solution but it needs to progress on a specific (and relatively short) timeline for customer notification.

However that additional leeway should be afforded by the researcher and/or their lawyers / representatives. It's something a company might ask for in good faith in response to a larger than usual issue.

I know several people who have made the foot journey across the Darién, and have heard many horror stories about it.

When I was in Bogotá last year, I met a Venezuelan man selling art painted on Bolivares. Inflation is so bad in Venezuela that Bolivares are practically worthless as currency. (There's also a beautiful irony that painting a picture of Che Guevara on a Bolivar makes it more valuable.) Many of his pieces were portraits of people who crossed the Darién fleeing Venezuela. He seemed to have a story for all of them. Most of them were working-class folks, engineers, teachers, lawyers. He himself was a former oil engineer who left Venezuela because of the economic collapse. These stories made me really appreciate everything I take for granted.

Also one of my favorites, futures derivative contracts are like second derivative meta on reality :-). The invention of money[1] was an example we used with our kids to explain the difference between "money" and "wealth"[2]. Because once you can internalize that distinction, you can ask yourself "is this expensive or is it valuable?" and get a reasoned answer to that.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rai_stones

[2] While many people associate "wealth" with "being rich" it actually has a economic definition unrelated to whether or not one possesses more or less of it than their neighbors for friends. From Investopedia, "Wealth measures the value of all the assets of worth owned by a person." which you can give an example of that owning a bicycle is "wealth" that is an asset, and you can use that asset to get to and from a job that is further than you can walk, so that asset (wealth) enhances your ability to generate capitol (money) to fund your daily needs and to acquire more assets (wealth).
It just feel so incestuous.

Insurance company can't make more than 15% profit... OK, easy solution... just buy the hospitals.

Now you can set the prices... if a service costs you $1,000, you can advertise things cost $10,000, but only have the parent company pay some small fraction of that... and leave others to pay $7,500 out of pocket (or other insurance carriers out of network). There are all these shady deals that aren't transparent to the end user.

I think the only solution is socialized medicine.

And just remember, we'd have that today if it wasn't for Joe Lieberman. He torched the public option, then didn't even run for re-election after. This guy could have prevented so much suffering in America today. He knew it, he just wanted to side with the insurance companies in 2009.
