Such a stupid ideological take from these places, if they really wanted to tank the whole thing they should have built their own exchanges and make them suck just like some states (like Florida) make the unemployment system so insanely complicated many just don't even try to apply for it.

I'm glad they're not smart enough to do that though and people were able to get healthcare through the federal exchange. I hope these bigots continue to be evil and dumb, if they get smart then we're really in for a bad time.
> Sometimes you end up reduced to "Well, just implement it then if it's so easy and amazing."

This should be the standard answer, along with some probing questions like:

- "So if you can always compress data, what happens when you compress the compressed data over and over? Surely you see this can't always work or everything could be compressed down to 1 bit?"

- "Do you realize that there are 2^N strings with N bits, but fewer strings with less than N bits? Surely you don't think you can always represent N bits in fewer than N bits?" (i.e. something along the lines of the pigeonhole principle)

If that doesn't convince them or they're unwilling to think through those fundamental questions or the implementation, it's a hopeless case that is best left alone.

I doubt that a total eclipse would actually have much more effect than an annular eclipse - in an annular eclipse like the one a few days ago the sun is still very nearly covered.

The 2044 total eclipse is the next one in summer in the contiguous US; I wonder if some sooner ones will also be interesting for this question. (I don't know enough about the worldwide geographic distribution of solar power to pick out candidates.)
> Now a decade on, the exchanges have proven to not be very popular- everyone who can still gets their insurance through their company because it is seen as a better deal than going through the exchange

This is a rather strange interpretation, because the marketplace was never intended to compete with or replace employer provided insurance. In fact, the ACA has an employer health insurance mandate for companies with at least 50 employees. The marketplace is primarily for people who aren't otherwise covered by employer health insurance or Medicaid, such as the self-employed, and I suspect that the marketplace is used by most of those people, especially because of the income-based subsidies.

+1 for Kanopy. I can't remember the film but I was looking for a movie and it wasn't on Amazon Prime, Netflix, Disney, Hulu, Paramount, or even the Google Play Store (I have no apple products), and my options were to buy it for $25 and wait a while for it to arrive in physical format or to pirate it.

I remembered Kanopy and signed in for the first time in months, did a quick search, instantly found the movie, used 1 of my 10 monthly credits to check it out, watched it and that was that.

Kanopy is a great resource for light consumption of media.
Uh huh. And how is that behavior exclusive to a small town?

This same exact thing could have happened in a town of any size. Cops harass teenagers everywhere.

This has no relation to the themes of that song which discusses how antisocial, illegal behavior like rioting, theft, assault, etc which is permitted in urban centers will not be tolerated in smaller communities.
> (Please don't recommend Python/JS, I dislike them for personal reasons)

What makes you think you wouldn't also dislike Ruby? I don't deny there are probably things Ruby does better than either Python or JS, but they aren't so dissimilar that if you have some sort of semi-rational "personal reason" for disliking Python and JS, that you wouldn't also dislike Ruby.

And if you're a beginner who wants to be employable, why be so picky and turn up your nose at two of the most popular languages?
I treat it as a "living document" and update it over time, especially to update links. The last few updates:

* 2023-02: used the mouse event techniques I described here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37703291

* 2023-02: added an interactive calculation of the number of hexagons in a spiral

* 2022-12: rewrote the introductory diagrams after trying out many alternative designs; wrote about it https://simblob.blogspot.com/2022/11/introduction-to-hexagon...

* 2022-10: removed server-side rendering, as it was complicating the build process, and it wasn't a clear win (page loaded slower)

* 2022-07: fixed some embarassing typos in the sample code (ugh)

* 2021-11: updated sample code to be easier to read and not use python-specific constructs; updated naming to be more clear about which code works on cube coordinates vs axial coordinates; filled in missing helper functions that I thought would be obvious but I should've included all along

* 2021-10: unified the hex implementation guide, which used q/r/s coordinate names for cube-hexagon and q/r for axial-hexagon and x/y for cartesian, with the hex theory page, which used x/z/y for cube-hexagons and q/r for axial-hexagons and x/y for cartesian. This was the last major update, as it involved updating all the text, diagrams, and sample code. The unification is something I had been wanting to do for several years but I knew it would take a while and it would also break "backwards compatibility" with everyone who had read the x/z/y version. It was especially tricky because x/z/y not x/y/z corresponded to q/r/s, and that's what led to the embarassing typos in code I had to fix later. And the change in order also changed which direction the rotation algorithm worked.

* 2021-01: updated the size & spacing diagram to visually show the relationships between the different measurements

* 2021-01: changed the hex and axis labels to try to make them correspond because it's a bit confusing; see https://simblob.blogspot.com/2021/01/hex-diagram-labels.html

* 2020-12: added a section about reflections https://www.redblobgames.com/grids/hexagons/#reflection

* 2020-04: improved the labels on the cube/hex diagram to try to improve the correspondence between the diagram and text https://www.redblobgames.com/grids/hexagons/#coordinates-cub...

* 2019-04: rewrote the map storage section because I wasn't at all happy with how it was written before; I wrote up the change https://simblob.blogspot.com/2019/03/improving-hexagon-map-s...

* 2019-02: used IntersectionObserver to delay the diagram rendering until you reach that section of the page; this improves page load times

* 2018-05: added the "doubled" coordinate system. It's a pretty nice system, and I didn't know about it when I first wrote the page. I learned about it from rot.js.

I had lots more changes in 2018. I had just reimplemented the entire page (https://simblob.blogspot.com/2018/04/april-updates-hex-grid-...) and that gave me lots of ideas of things to improve. I first rewrote it without changing the diagrams, but then went back and made lots of diagram and text changes.

I do this. I don't watch enough that it makes sense to have multiple subscriptions at the same time. The default is subscribed to nothing, then if I hear about something I want to see I'll subscribe to that for a while.

I do have Amazon Prime though, so some of the subscriptions are to channels on that. I'll drop it for sure when they put ads on everything.
> We consider “cos 123” an exact solution even though to numerically calculate it requires a power series approximation.

I think you're confusing what an exact solution is supposed to be with your own approximation of the exact solution. In your own example, cos(123) would represent a closed form solution to the problem. That solution doesn't cease to be exact if you decide to express it as a finite power series.

> Anti-bonus of hexgrid: you can't aggregate it. Hexagons don't sum up into bigger hexagons.

They don't nest perfectly the way squares do, but if you rotate at alternate levels they have a decent approximate 7-in-1 nesting that H3 leverages.

Premium cuts became "better options" because of hyperindustrialization, which made those cuts more affordable than before. This is a point you raised yourself in an earlier comment.

The only reason you can buy seaweed at Costco and Walmart is because of multicultural immigrants and globalization, which are starting to undo the hyperindustrialization of the food industry even if by just a little bit.

Not really. The gap is the ROI of what the compensation could otherwise be invested in. The negotiation is about convincing the employer that your work would have a higher ROI.

“the constant gnawing sense of having had, and lost, some infinite thing.” gets me every time.

I've long said the big mistake is tying health insurance to employment is the problem (it isn't the only problem, but it is a big one)

Yes. This is one of those frustrating areas where economists and experts across the political spectrum are in near-unanimous agreement, but anybody who tries to move the system in a sane direction gets attacked for "taking away your insurance". The ACA doubled down on employer mandates, when it should have used the exchanges as an opportunity to get people off employer-based plans.

I'm against socialize health insurance, but what we have today is just as bad

As I've often said, we've managed to combine the worst aspects of both markets and central planning with the benefits of neither.
Thanks Jadi (:
They’re shameful, but a tiny proportion of US shootings. The indiscriminate kind that’s what most people mean when they worry about school shootings, is a much smaller proportion still. Average odds of a kid being present—not hurt, present—for any kind of shooting on any of their school campuses at any time for their 13 k-12 years remains quite low (though much higher at some schools, and basically zero at others).

I’d expect any given year’s data to be noisy enough that it’d be hard to analyze trends year to year, given the relatively small figures involved. More like decade to decade.
I'd agree that it would be totally wrong to throw this cop in jail for beating his ex without actual proof. A teenager's youtube video isn't a courtroom though and shouldn't require the same standards for proof. I'm just saying that it's a lot less unreasonable to accuse this cop of beating his ex than it would be to pick a random person on the street and accuse them of the same.

He was clearly wrong about the conviction, there's a pretty good chance he wasn't wrong about the abuse. Maybe that's a good enough standard of evidence to demand from the youtube video of a justifiably pissed off 19 year old? It'd be best if he uploaded a correction, or even a corrected re-upload of his video, but I think it's fair to say that this kid has been screwed over by the legal system enough already. He should probably get a pass for getting the fact about the conviction wrong and not maintaining the highest levels of journalistic integrity in the youtube video documenting the violation of his rights.
> Sorta related: What is the current situation regarding testing for being actively under the influence of marijuana? For better or worse, breathalyzer tests have been generally accepted for testing being actively under the influence of alcohol. Are breathalyzer tests used for marijuana, too? Or, is it just a field sobriety test?

A quick and very important slight tangent that there are two kinds of breath tests at play.

When the police pull someone over for suspicion of DUI, they're attempting to establish probable cause for an arrest. The preliminary breath test is one of these tools, and in most (possibly all?) states it is voluntary & not admissible as evidence. You can look your own state's laws up, but here's a deep dive from Wisconsin on their laws[1].

If the police establish probable cause of intoxication because you volunteered to take a field sobriety test / preliminary breath test, because of their description of your physical condition (bloodshot/glassy eyes) or circumstances (open container, scent of marijuana), you'll be arrested & compelled to perform an evidentiary breath test on a stationary machine in a police station, or provide a blood sample to test for intoxication. And this is not a voluntary test – your refusal to provide an evidentiary test is considered evidence that you committed a DUI and you will be penalized accordingly.

So in general: it's almost best to keep your interactions with the police limited & refuse any voluntary tests to prevent probable cause from being built.

I'm sure there's some very good reasons for it, but what exactly is the reason why there cannot be articles for very niche things like articles for each Pokemon individually listed on Wikipedia? I find the idea of having a complete tome of everything to be an incredibly neat idea!

At a guess, it's probably something like practical restraints around "not enough people monitoring for quality", or the fact that the hard drive space to save all of this information is not free and unlimited, or that simply, it might be better served by niche communities who will be devoted to caring far more about such specific topics?

I just find it frustrating that there isn't a kind of...ultra, super mega colossal set of all human knowledge of everything stored under a single digital roof. I suppose that ideal itself probably isn't practical for the reasons mentioned...it just seems so neat in concept. Just one place for everything.
There's a clear contextual difference between a ball game and a bogus arrest. In the latter, he was deprived of his freedom and placed at the mercy of the police with few if any witnesses.
I think the problem is calculating pi must be done in series, so you can't really get much further than anyone else. contrast that to a hypothetical situation where you could effortlessly start calculating at the nth position of pi. Then you'd have a rock-solid RNG where your real-world entropy source could repesent each digit of the index, so i.e. you get a 500 digit number, then start reciting pi from that position, now you're cooking with gas. Meaning your search space to crack the RNG would be about as difficult as cracking AES-256. but anyway I'm talking above my paygrade here, so no guarantees :)

Maybe this is a US thing? I heard messaging apps are wildly different in the US. For example nobody uses iMessage here (Spain), literally nobody, not even people with iPhones. Which are admittedly very few people because they are so expensive here. Most people use budget android phones like $150 redmi's. I never get SMS either, only system/bank/2FA notifications. If someone SMSed me I would tell them to use something else because it would cost me money to reply :P

Here it's WhatsApp for 1:1 and small groups, and telegram for big public groups because WhatsApp sucks for those. I (and most of my friends!) even use WhatsApp for making calls these days. The only time I make a legacy phone call is to call a business that doesn't have WhatsApp. 95% of the calls I receive are spam harrassment so I ignore calls unless I know the number.

But Telegram is quite common for normal use to follow clubs, to follow tattoo artists, to get notifications of stock of Nvidia cards, for cybersecurity information, for our makerspace.. We really use it a shitload.

I don't use telegram for porn or piracy at all. Nor do I know anyone that does. Even though I do those things a lot, but I have much better places for it.

But perhaps in the US it's used very differently? I don't know. Here it's really quite mainstream.
