As insurance risk estimation errors approach zero, the value of having insurance instead of just a medical savings account approaches zero. Rates for higher risk individuals will become prohibitively high and those people will have no choice but to be uninsured. Insurance companies would be essentially only covering black swan events, as individual premiums would match individual health costs with high fidelity.

As a result the incentive to get comprehensive health insurance rather than just disaster insurance would plummet, as an MSA would be more cost effective and you also get to take advantage of better than predicted health outcomes in the form of interest earned and at EOL a potential inheritance gift.

Sounds great, except you jhave to understand that this would mean that society would somehow need to deal with the burden of the least healthy, who would be very unlikely to purchase, or be able to afford, insurance under this scheme. It’s like trying to charge up front for building roads. You just end up with no roads. Socialism (or in the case of insurance,capital funded socialism) is extremely beneficial to society in certain specific verticals.

Because of capitalism, not wealth redistribution from white saviors.

> this is not an issue of white saviors rescuing africa. this is an issue of us colonialists cleaning up the mess that we created and are responsible for.

You won’t do that, and anyone who waits around for that to happen or wasted energy or political capital engaging with that is a moron. A dangerous moron. For example, Britain will not give India back a cent of the trillions it stole from them, nor will the Muslim empires who came before them. The only non-idiotic course of action for a country like India is to try and get rich on the same course of development Britain pursued. Not sitting around with their hand out.

It occurred to me the other day that if my home country of Bangladesh had pursued capitalism from the outset, instead of fucking around for decades with socialism, my family might still be together in Bangladesh instead of scattered around a bunch of white people’s countries. What happened before doesn’t matter. What matters is economic development, as fast as possible. The prospect of white saviorism meaningfully fixing anything is so remote—because the sacrifice that would be required in their part is so massive—that even talking about it is destructive in distracting from the urgency of economic development.

> Wasn't DC v Heller ghost written by the same group as Dobbs? (not literally but guided in a similar fashion)

What, the Federalist Society? In as far as the last three justices willing to overturn Roe were hand-selected by them, yes, but there was little doubt that any of them would vote to overturn Roe even before their confirmations.

> At least DC v Heller could point to actual facts to back up it's interpretation. Dobbs just dances around the idea saying "we believe" a lot and super focusing on the Supremacy clause in a way not seen in... I couldn't even say how long ago it was that the SC said it couldn't restrict something in that way.

On one hand, there's a difference between who authored those opinions (say what you will about Scalia, but his application of originalism didn't have as clear of a partisan bent). On the other, there was clearly an effort to thread the needle such that both Thomas (who wanted Dobbs to go so much further) and Roberts (who has started to think about his court's legacy and its public perception) were willing to sign onto said opinion.

I suspect we would have had the same style of opinions 5 years ago if it had been Ginsburg instead of Scalia who passed away in 2016.

That's just completely false. China and Israel has always had a decently warm relationship, so much so Israel was selling weapons to China until the U.S. forced them to stop: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China%E2%80%93Israel_relations...

The poster claims to somehow know how much of an advantage it is. Wonder how that knowledge was acquired?

I am sure that too was perfectly innocent and just “that one time”. Then why all the hand-wringing about these cheats getting blocked?

There are a lot of situations in which I'd argue in favor of what you're saying.

Breaking up a fight isn't one of them. Not sure how many fights you've seen in real life but they are not professional boxing matches with relatively evenly trained matched opponents. Somebody is usually losing and losing badly. Somebody could be hurt or killed with even a moment's hesitation. Should firefighters have to pay restitution for trampling your garden while preventing your house from burning down? Or paramedics for slicing off your clothing while attempting to save your life?

Do you think that paying restitution for these sorts of situations would have unintended negative consequences such as making emergency situations more expensive or even thwarting them entirely by making them unsustainable?

We should aggressively police our police, and the whole system is kind of broken in general, but I think we should save the restorative and punitive action for situations in which police or emergency services have actually done something wrong.
I was very excited about btrfs' advanced features, but that meant that btrfs would bite me multiple times when I expected it to 'just work™':

- RAID5/6 are still not stable

- it will not mount a RAID in degraded mode automatically, failing the high availability promise that might tempt you towards RAID.

"Won't someone please think of the children^W cheaters?" This argument is preposterous. If you want to solve multiplayer game cheating, there's no solution other than to make your game fully server-based and stream a video feed to the client. Meanwhile, these draconian anti-multiplayer-cheating methods obliterate single-player-game freedoms by removing all potential for modding, which is the only good thing about the medium of gaming these days.

These vapid comments about convenience over freedom and short-sighted notions of corporate control over our devices always strike me as naively and comically authoritarian.

I agree; sometimes writing your own binary format is the right call. To my point upthread, the trick is knowing when that’s the right choice and when it’s better to use protobuf or something standard. (Or, when to just stick to json).

Yeah, no... you'll lose data for sure, you'll have race conditions or no cooperative queuing between multiple instances of the application. This is exactly the kind of half-assery that people resort to when they say monoliths are so much less complex than microservices. A good monolith still requires all the same hard decisions about modularity, high-availability etc.

Is this a US thing where your school buys you a laptop?
Those two things looks like a prison for yourself.

First of all, why do you need to buy, or even live in a house? This is Europe. You can rent, invest the rest and you don't need 5 bathrooms or a garage for two cars, much less a huge ugly green field between your house and your neighbours.

2nd. Why do you want your kids to be afraid of living on their own earlier in life? It's much more like the opposite, if you want your kids to have a terrible mental state, keep them locked at home and drive them everywhere (typically to Mc Donalds or Shopping Malls, both very artificial places).

If you want your kid to mature and not be forever a child, you better let them have the freedom to go to school alone, take buses and trains.

Just look how in the US there are Americans in their 30s that can only go anywhere by car with a GPS and are unable to walk by foot or deal with people of different backgrounds, that might speak different languages.

I find it astonishing when I see them here in Europe, they barely know how to look at a train table or do very simple tasks and consistently need assistance or attention. And can only communicate in English and fail to even deal with people in a situation that they don't speak their language or share their same cultural values.
The day Valve falls, for whatever reason (greed, incompetence, some impossible to predict market shift/tech innovation... Gabe doesn't have decades and decades left as CEO after all) - the open world of PC gaming as we know it will probably fall, to be devoured by the Microsoft/Epic/Ubisoft/etc of the world.

Compared to most other tech/gaming companies, it's shocking how non predatory and customer friendly they are.

I've been able to maintain my digital library for almost 2 decades now, I've played those games on dozens of different hardware configuration without having to pay a single cent for it - compared to my other digital libraries, many of which (Wii, 3DS, PSP, etc) are completely lost to time.
> It's as if their hardware is meant to be e-waste.

But the chassis is made from 100% recycled aluminum!~

On a serious note, Apple has a simple and working strategy, to which they're 100% committed: repair only in authorized service points, otherwise recycle. Making devices user-repairable adds costs and compromises on specs; you can't put a number on the disks being replaceable as easily as you can put a number on size, IO bandwidth, or number of write cycles, and numbers is what looks good on benchmarks.

You also have to consider Apple's scale: they have literally billions of deployed devices (everything from AirPods to Mac Pros) that they need to support, so what could work for a different vendor won't necessarily work for them.

(I don't necessarily agree with that strategy from end-user POV, merely pointing out the context.)
The audio HDMI output from my MacBook M1 Pro since release always had choppy buffer loops. That is until one of the most recent software updates. Finally it 'just works'.
One problem I've always seen when debating tracking was the broad scope of the word.
Take for instance three examples:

1. A shopkeeper that watches his customers for shoplifting and observes their flow in the store to know where to place products.

2. An online store that tracks what products people are looking at and what carts are abandoned the most.

3. A global ad-network that gets fed most of your browsing activity across the internet and creates an advertising profile for you.

Don't you agree that a difference in scale brings on a difference in kind somewhere on this axis?

The way I personally see it is that what a user does on your website is fine to observe, but when data is being shared to third parties is must explicitly have your agreement.

This is not a software quality problem, this is a business efficiency problem. We could write commercial software with no bugs, but it would be very expensive (slow process, complicated tooling, etc). It's far cheaper to accept some rate of bugs and pay some schmucks weekends/nights to be OnCall)
Sorry, I am not entirely sure what you are trying to say...
Unions are type of collective fight in form of strikes and bargaining, against exploitation and are the main tool within the class war. Actual battles happened because the ruling class tries to prevent or forbid them. At the end it is a question of profit splitting not a question of pure existence for whom you are. I would go as far as to say one is the example of class war and the other is an example of fight against fascism.

As I remember it, this really took off in popular culture after native americans got sick of dude-bros/girls wearing war bonnets to music festivals. Around 2012-2014 it was a hugely popular piece.
