The Medicare negotiation allowed has still been VERY limited. It should be granted full out by congress, as well as combined for federal employee and VA coverage as well as congress itself... they should all have the same coverage, thus the same incentives. Open/public pricing models would be a good start. As would domestic production and multiple supplier requirements for medications and devices just from a security stand point.

In general the current FTC is better than most in my lifetime, that said, there are plenty of other areas of Govt that are really bad, and even the FTC and SEC could be doing much, much more. It's a mixed bag.

We don't call Gmail, Flickr, and HN "serverless" because we're not trying to distinguish them from managing servers and because they're not infrastructure.

Wikipedia defines serverless as follows:

> "Serverless computing is a cloud computing execution model in which the cloud provider allocates machine resources on demand, taking care of the servers on behalf of their customers."

What part of that definition doesn't apply to S3? Amazon themselves[1] define S3 as serverless. Your linked article also says that Cloudwatch and other AWS servers are serverless as well.

I'm sorry(?) that serverless is a broader term than you realized. It was always a somewhat absurd label.

> demand for ones life/health is infinite

No, it isn't. People make all kinds of tradeoffs that place a finite value on their lives.

What skews the health care market is that people do not see the actual cost of what they are getting; they only see a small fraction of that cost. So their demand is way out of proportion to the actual supply of health care. Further, because they can't see the actual costs, patients have no idea whether the health care they are getting is actually worth what they cost. (The lack of transparency about the actual effectiveness of health care doesn't help either.)

> Healthcare doesn't really work in a capitalistic marketplace

No, health care doesn't really work in a regulated marketplace where people are not given the information they need to make accurate judgments about what health care is worth its cost.
no that is not true -- there is quite a lot of money changing hands, and has been for several years. Much of that research content is "sensitive" and closely guarded. Public news tends to just talk about splashy generative, media-oriented items.

Healthcare is an inelastic market. People will pay wathever the cost of a product is, because it is literally a matter of life or death. Ask yourself why your country provides the least cost-efficient system of healthcare in the West, when it is arguably the most liberal of them all.

PE bought up the local chain of doctor's offices a few years ago in my area, and it was an instant drop in quality. They started dropping patients for missed appointments a decade prior when they were a minor (one was being treated for depression after a suicide attempt). Then their doctors started leaving and they had to bring in people to fill the labor gap, but these pepple were not of high quality and malpractice suits became more common. Then they had to start dropping patients. Entire families suddenly had no primary care doctor, and what's worse is that this was the major providor for medical care in the area. Some people are now driving ~100 miles or more each way to get a primary care physician.

Outside of medicine, I've seen PE fuck up at least three decent tool companies. Their products are basically garbage now. PE sucks, too many glaring examples of it messing things up in my day to day.
Exactly. Now imagine that the same were true for health care.

Agreed it's a good thing. Writing software today is still a slog that turns into a spaghetti bowl without focused intent by highly skilled devs. I think most devs realize this and really want there to be something better, and the only way to find something good is to find a lot of the bad around it first.

I like the thought experiment of adding a new persisted/editable field to an entity in a web app, if you've done full-stack you know all the layers that need to be touched to accomplish this and how lame most of the work turns out to be. After doing that 20 times while iterating, any dev worth their salt starts to wonder why it sucks so bad still and how it could be made better, and some will actually try.

> The council is the only legislative writing body in the EU, but it has no power to enact legislation.

Funny, as I recall that is one of the roles of Commission. It is the one with the power of initiative.

If its draft legislation is not accepted, and modifications are proposed which it does not like, it can simply withdraw the proposed legislation.

The council and the parliament can only request that the Commission draft some legislation to a purpose.

So there are three institutions involved. The Commission, the council, and the parliament. Where the latter is very much the junior partner, and the council can set political direction, but the Commission is the only part with the power to initiate legislation.

The whole thing is quite different from any form of national government and legislature.

(NB there are two councils - the EU Council, and the Council (of ministers) - which gets very confusing for those of us not actively following along.)

There is no reason for the richest profession in the nation to require taxpayer funding for their graduate education.

Most people pay for college.

Why are we using taxes to pay for rich people's college?

"You didn't include any numbers.

You also decided to choose the most elite workers living in a high cost of living area to compare to.

Not fair! Not fair! There is a bit of malice to do such an unequal and unfair comparison.

If we look at reality, you are never going to have the moral high ground. The wages are not-market rates, its due to lobbying/artificial scarcity that benefit the members only. The majority lose and the richest profession gets richer.

I hope people can see past the pretty paint you were able to place over reality. "
From my experience working with IBM products at an enterprise level, a lot of the integrations only provide basic functionality or they are used to demonstrate a happy path for the sales team. Once you go into the implementation phase, you run into multiple issues and require substantial development to actually make it work within a client's environment.
While I might quibble with the parenting technique because I believe an interest in useful topics can be cultivated, I'm not going to knock those parents for developing the ability to do hard work. The rest of the world is better off with these kids becoming competent professionals due to parental control than it would be if they became wastrels due to parental neglect or encouragement to pursue useless hobbies. In the US at least, the much larger problem is the latter.
OK, it was independent but established with funding from YC Research and Jessica (among others including Sam himself and Elon) and initially operating from YC office space.

So it was always something that was closely linked to YC and his involvement with it was generally accepted as being harmonious with his role running YC, until it became for-profit.

That's really not the point.

The point is that when you need food, you can go to any number of places to get it. So going to any one specific place is not a requirement.

Compare that to healthcare. I get in an accident or call an ambulance. I don't get a choice where I go or who I see. I just go to wherever is nearest or has availability and hope that it's either not bad enough to justify me needing to go somewhere else or that I have the ability to be transferred to the location of my choice (at great cost).

A more mild example are diseases like cancer. You'll have some more freedom on which place you go to but oncology is extremely diverse and specialised. Unless you get really lucky, odds are there's only a specific handful of doctors within a several hours drive of you that actually have a good idea of how to treat your specific cancer under the specific conditions you have it. So you go to whichever one of them can see you in a reasonable amount of time because otherwise you die. The same goes for many of the complex diseases people spend months or years diagnosing because they are so hard to pin down.

And that's discussing situations where time is of the essence and you get very little choice in your options. And those tend to be the most expensive.

There's plenty of other aspects of healthcare that are far cheaper of course and could be likened to the grocery store examples but drawing the regulatory line between the two is near impossible given the fuzzy nature of healthcare and medical science.
> It's much easier to switch to different options with food than it is with healthcare.

It wouldn't be if the supply of health care were not artificially restricted by regulation.

> Medical care also often involves crisis situations

No, medical care sometimes involves crisis situations. But much more often it doesn't. A sane health care system would treat these two cases very differently. Care for crisis situations would be handled by insurance because that's what insurance is for: unexpected situations that you can't pay for out of pocket. But routine care would not. However, our system is not sane, and insists on bundling these two things together when that makes no sense.

On the other hand, it may take that engineer less time to create a page-specific endpoint than it would be to create something more generic that might serve other purposes (that may never come to pass), which may also involve talking to other teams, checking what future plans are, etc.

And that's assuming it's a new endpoint; if there's an existing endpoint that does almost what's necessary, they may need to check in with that team about what modifications to the endpoint would be acceptable, etc.

Single-page endpoints aren't great, but often times they're acceptable because they end up being a half-day task instead of a week-long slog.
If you put you in a time machine to 1860 ago you would be a fool to go to your local doctor (this was before doctors got scientific, or did basic things like wash their hands - as a result people who went to the doctor had worse results than people who didn't). Now that we have quality medical care people who go to the doctor have better results than people who do not and so that creates demand of people who want a better life. The people in 1860 (and before) would love to have access to the type of medical care we have today.

Sorry I did not fully explain it. I am probably skipping some assortment of plans but the way I see it, you have PPO, HMO and HDHP. PPO is like a la carte to me, you generally have a wide network of doctors to pick from at your choosing, more flexibility with seeing specialists etc. HMO requires you to follow a funnel, with a single Primary Care doctor. HDHP is most similar to a PPO but you have a high deductible alongside it, while the deductible is higher than the PPO, the noticable difference is usually that you are paying for the majority of costs until hitting that deductible. So when seeing a primary care doc I would be paying for close to the full cost of that visit. The trade off is the monthly premium is significantly lower AND I get access to a health savings plan.

So when looking at it from a total annual loss perspective, the HDHP in the worst case would cost a few thousand more $3-5k than the equivalent PPO. There is nuance between plans but it can work well even if the individual as chronic conditions. Financially it makes sense and also I have strong beliefs that primary care is better served outside of insurance schemes.
Not from what I've seen - it happens in real-time just like most human drivers. I don't believe that a remote controlled operator is even permitted, but I could be wrong.

Waymos drive fairly fast and aggressively in rush hour traffic too, which is why I enjoy sharing the road with them. I was initially worried they'd drive like a grandma but that hasn't been the case. Also as a cyclist I enjoy riding near them because they know I'm there and they give you enough space in the bike lane.
Except that isn't at all what Paul is claiming here—he says YC offered him the choice between running YC and running OpenAI but not both at once. Altman chose OpenAI. That might have been the obvious choice in the circumstances (it certainly appears so in retrospect), but that doesn't turn the conversation into the kind you're claiming.
He's just some guy. Every thudding gaffe - most recently demanding Yann LeCun say how many papers he has published, but stretching all the way back to the strange slander of a rescue diver taking school children out of a flooded cave - shows he can be utterly uninformed about things that should be front of mind for him.

Ah this brings up bitter memories.

Yes and no.

No on the distribution network (aka up to the transformer in the street usually, but for sure not on the xxx kV lines) because there the lines are balanced.

In your house, you do, because the voltage between 2 phases is 400V, but the voltage between 1 phase and N is 230V. So you have "low" voltage for "normal" appliances, but high-voltage (and thus high-power) available for high power applications. For example: EV charging, induction cooking, home heating / AC etc.

For an EV usually the N wouldn't be needed, if you always charged at a balanced power on all phases. But from my experience, the full 3 phase power is only used when the battery is empty. At some point the charger switches back to single phase to better modulate the current I guess.

Sidenote:

On a 3x230V net, you don't have an N, but that means you also don't have a non-power conducting wire either! Meaning: double pole switches and breakers are required to prevent shocks. This is why these are generally required in Belgium btw.

One of the main reasons I feel so strongly about topics like this is that I think we're sleepwalking into authoritarianism, if we haven't already arrived. So take your comment - that the government surveilling places where there is no expectation of privacy is okay. And now think about the countries that have done precisely this - secret police spying on people in public, building up profiles on people, informants making sure nobody's getting up to anything the government might be concerned about, and so on. These are terrible places in history, literally every last one of them. Doesn't it feel to you that we're on the path to repeating this?

I mean we're not not only doing the exact same stuff, but going above and beyond it. The thing about authoritarianism is that people seem to associate with some leader just oppressing the people - helpless to resist, but historically that's not how it works at all. In reality, authoritarianism tends to have an in-group and an out-group. And the in-group often feels neutral to highly positive about the authoritarian government, and feel they're only doing what is necessary to maintain proper peace, order, and value. To this day you can find people with extremely positive views of Stalin - not just for defeating Nazism but for his reign in general. This includes many whose family (and in some instances even themselves - though their numbers are decreasing due to age) lived through this time! This video [1] turned into a meme, but it's genuine and part of a real interview.

I somehow get the impression you're around my age. If I'm correct there then imagine taking yourself back to the early 2000s or maybe even earlier, and describing to your youthful self what America would be like in 20 years. You wouldn't believe yourself - it'd sound like absolute insanity. But because it's all happened inch by inch, it all feels kind of normal. But I think, and hope, that when you describing what we're going through today, to your children or your children's children 20 or 40 years from now, that they'll find it just as unbelievable as the you of 20 years ago might have found it.

Caterpillar is also a pretty well known brand of construction equipment. I could imagine the tools of the future could be named after all sorts of animals.

There could even be some funny environmental storytelling there, administrators could call things by formal names, workers who grew up on earth could call them by similar animals, workers who grew up on the space-station might have become familiar with the equipment before knowing about the animals, so their associations might be backwards.

But it all like it’d have to be done intentionally, generating these associations procedurally seems like a total mess.
Agreed. Specific endpoints. I was on a project recently where a 40+ yr old dev was going crazy over "pure REST." It's embarrassing. Sure, have your pure REST but FFS create specific endpoints if you they make sense.
