They probably lose on each one, but it's the same with their competitors.

Here in Québec acces to MAID is tightly regulated. Initially I tought it was too regulated but the excess in some other provinces sporadically making the news have made me realize that Québec probably have the right level of regulation around euthanasia.
So what if they have health plan coverage if they can't afford to use it? Insurance is wildly out of control and needs to be reformed out of it's current form of existence. Health insurance companies act in bad faith against patients and doctors and many people with insurance go bankrupt anyway. What percentage of bankruptcies are from medical bills? It's impossible to objectively defend unless the goal is to make money at the cost of human health.
You’ll have to share more I'm sure your father had stories galore.
Sure, but all actual historical discoveries of Mersenne primes since the 1980s have been in strictly increasing size order, with no missed primes in between found in retrospect, and the successful exponents have increased gradually rather than sharply in size. It would really buck the trend to an extreme degree if the new successful exponent were 5× as large rather than something like 1.05× as large as the previous record.

I want to make an analogy to sports records, but the analogy will obviously be imperfect because the limits of human physiology are better understood in some ways than the behavior of Mersenne primes and perfect numbers. But it might be like if we heard that the marathon record had been beaten and then it turned out that the new record was something like 1:30:00 instead of something like 2:00:00. Obviously the exact value of the new record is totally unpredictable, but the best bet is that something like long-term trend lines will continue to be followed, rather than abruptly radically changed by multiple orders of magnitude.

And just because a problem isn't terminal doesn't mean it doesn't bring suffering. I do think Canada has some problems with it but even with the problems I think it's better than not offering it.

Seems like this practice in general shows that a true free market doesn't exist in the airline industry. If it did exist then flights like these wouldn't be profitable to sell in the first place.
They got banned from WordPress.org and they're demanding a court issue an order for their emergency reinstatement under the computer fraud and abuse act.

Wrong kind of analogy to use here.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean, but it almost sounds like something we already have a single verb for: "splice". It means "replace this range with these values":

z = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f']
z.splice(2, 3, 'w', 'x', 'y', 'z')

Array(7) [ "a", "b", "w", "x", "y", "z", "f" ]

Unfortunately it's not on strings in javascript, but the verb has basically that meaning even outside of programming and could work here too.

I don't see how the values in your example would work though.
Almost certainly not. From the article:

> And folks living with their parents or roommates aren’t counted in this data, at least not the same way as those who have gone off on their own.

> Due to the difficulties of disentangling a family’s holdings, the Fed combines the wealth of “financially interdependent” household units and effectively assigns it the demographics of the head of household (or more accurately, what the Fed calls the “economically dominant single individual or couple” in the home’s “primary economic unit”).

> So, when we say millennials have record wealth for their age, we’re really saying millennials who have become financially independent are doing well for their age.

> If we could correct for this, millennials wouldn’t look so hot after all — financially, at least.
On HN I’ve seen regular claims that “tragedy of the commons has been disproven”. I’ve not yet identified which social bubble propagates this or what it is based on but there seems to be some niche in which people are being taught that it is categorically proven to be an invalid concept.
This is NYT, so there’s about 95% chance they made it all up for clicks. And you’re giving them clicks.
Assuming the anecdotes are correct and capture the entire story - which they rarely actually do in general and especially when you’re talking about death - at best they help land the human story to convince people.

But OK. So let’s presume we have anecdotes that show mistakes made in the program. Do we get rid of it? Hospitals and doctors and insurance companies make deadly mistakes too. Get rid of those as well? And what about the anecdotes of people who were greatly positively helped by euthanasia. Do we ignore their anecdotes? How do we weigh their anecdotes against the anecdotes of problems?

I may be thick but I’m failing to find the insights you’re claiming are there.

The Class C airspace at that location starts at 2,100 feet. The Cessna was at 1,300 feet. The airliner was at 1,700 feet. The Cessna did not have to be coordinating with ATC because they were NOT in controlled airspace that requires radio communication with ATC, but it is optional and recommended.

The real question here is, why does Austin Approach Control have airliners driving around lower than the ceiling of the Class C protected airspace, where EVERY pilot knows that there are little putt-putt planes pottering about down there?
Not trying to defend a big corporation, but I don't understand what Patreon did wrong...
I agree except for any emphasis on taking a load off the medical system.

That people with terrible quality of life have the option is a good thing. It should be available for full autonomy.

I just don't want a case of any pressures to get euthanised, whether from family or society.
I could imagine situations where airlines need to get pilots/crew/planes to some location for the next flight and somehow recoup costs there, and are willing to cut prices on such multileg flights to take business away from their competitors... but I generally agree with your statement.
perl 6 eat your heart out
We have some control over that. That's the essence of being human, IMHO.
I'm surprised that this common enough that it's worthwhile for airlines to fight it. It requires both:

- Flight being meaningfully cheaper using hidden city

and

- Traveller is willing to deal with the restrictions (no carry-on, risk of route changing, no frequent flyer etc).
Are you referring to the 45 year old Cessna when you say private jet? It looks like that plane flies a lot around Louisiana and Texas. Weird to jump to a conclusion about F1 money and an entitled pilot.
I don't understand the airline's argument that they couldn't resell the seat. Of course not, it was already paid for! Can someone make sense of their argument for me, as it seems prima facia illegitimate.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UL5x60lpGIE
Sure, but which one? The Cessna doesn't have a TCAS to coordinate with, so how does it know which one is best? Does it just pick one and change it if the other aircraft reacts in the wrong way?

This does seem like capitalism at work. Still, I really want to hate the players and the game. This has been brutal extractive malevolence against an industry supporting the very base of the pyramid of needs: John Deere is hurting the world incredibly badly.
Really? Like spending years 60 through 90 in an inescapable coma, for instance?
Important note: "skiplagging" while frowned upon and grounds for an airline banning individuals from using them; is not why skiplagged is paying AA $9.4M.

From the article:

Paul Yetter, an attorney for American with Yetter Coleman in Houston, told jurors during opening statements that Skiplagged is not an authorized agent of the airline yet "dresses up" its website with American's trademarks to look legitimate and fool consumers into thinking they are buying from the airline.
Exaggerating for comedic effect: Patreon did the equivalent of telling your parents that you are into midget porn, while your parents consider midgets abomination unto god.
Maybe we just try take the good and leave the bad when we borrow from previous societies?
> Skiplagging is not illegal, but airlines view it as a policy violation that is grounds for termination of a traveler’s entire itinerary since the airline can't sell the empty seat in the onward flight.

The poor airline, unable to sell an empty seat because ... checks notes ... the seat is already sold to someone, and that person decided not to show up. Truly the horror. Just think of all the revenue the airline lost because they couldn't charge more for a shorter flight and now have to fly the last leg with less weight

But it seems like the entire court case was mostly centered around the legality of the branding of the website. I guess overall the guy behind skiplagged will be happy to have gotten away with what amounts to 10% of revenue in exchange for a lot of publicity.
@dang can I make a generalized comment on the state of Canada in this case?
To be fair, one specific password does tell you something about the entropy of the generator. If I can grab 1 MiB of data from your password generator, I can probably estimate quite well the entropy of the generator. 10-20 bytes? That tells you almost nothing (but still not nothing). That means there must be some way of updating an estimate of the entropy of the generator from every additional byte of output and the amount of confidence that you gain about that estimate grows (probably exponentially) with every new byte.

But your password is 10-20 bytes so you can say nothing about the generator.
> and are accountable for patient outcomes will probably work better for everyone.

What's to stop providers cherry-picking who they treat? Who's going to treat the patients who are high risk? That will ruin the outcomes metric?
I think the widespread acceptance of the idea that assisted suicide is a legitimate option that people ought to consider is a society giving up on humanity. I think that there is never a case where there is no hope at all. Even in cases of the most severe illness, with all of the advancements in technology and innovation emerging seemingly every day, you cannot say there is no chance of a cure or a recovery. And even in a failed attempt at such a cure or recovery, there is much to be learned that can be shared with the rest of humanity.

To just focus on avoiding suffering instead of striving to live is not consistent with the attitude that is conducive to the flourishing of life and the advancement of civilization. It is precisely humanity raging against the light — the endless quest for survival and flourishing — that has driven humanity thus far and that will always drive life in general. The assisted suicide philosophy, if you want to call it that, is fundamentally a deviation from the civilizational and biological imperative.

All of this being said, a free society is one where people own their own body, meaning have a right to destroy themselves, with any drug or dangerous behavior, and to even commit suicide. So I cannot see an argument for prohibiting suicide or the provision of assistance in committing it. What's peculiar about countries that have legalized assisted suicide is the bevy of laws they impose to protect people from much milder forms of self-harm, like consumer protection laws that protect people from their own bad consumer decisions. You're not allowed to buy raw milk, but you can get a doctor's assistance in ending your life due to depression!
Well, Skiplagged is still in business and this probably just drives more traffic to their website as this raises awareness. Apparently they have had more than $100M in ticket sales, if not much more.
This feels like more of an "America sucks for cycling" problem than a mapping problem. I have never experienced this issue using Google Maps for cycling in the UK because roads like that don't generally exist. (And in fairness they may use high quality mapping data from OS.)

Legacy US airlines don’t always price their seats logically based on fuel, tax, time, and wear costs.

The price for a given multi-leg trip is sometimes discounted by Some Amount from the actual price you would pay buying each leg individually.

This is exploitable by purchasing a discounted fare with (H) hops at price P(H) in order to fly (H-X) hops, where X > 0 and P(H-X) > P(H). I offer no speculation as to their motivations in selling a ticket where P(H-X) > P(H) but I certainly don’t think kind thoughts towards them for the outcomes it creates in airline pricing.

Their complaint against consumers is, in summary, “we could have charged a higher price P(H-X) for the seat that was left empty if the customer had not exploited this P(H) loophole in our pricing, and we deserve to be paid that difference.” This is not strictly relevant to the lawsuit, which is against an agency rather than a consumer, but helps explain their motivations for prosecuting an agency site for exploiting it.

Their complaint against the third party website is both different and more nuanced, but ultimately stems from a site making it trivial for consumers to find and exploit this loophole without domain-specific knowledge known primarily to travel agents and hobbyists. Thus their extreme focus on trademark; if they had succeeded in that claim, they would potentially be able to weaponize the judgment against any site that doesn’t pay them a bribe for showing their logo in association with interpretations of flight pricing data, which would let them harvest millions of dollars of new passive revenue streams; as well as having the option to terminate the existence of any site they dislike that shows their logo or brand. Their trademark claim was denied in full.

The airlines are within their legal rights to cancel tickets and refuse business from customers who exploit this loophole, so long as they do so indiscriminately with respect to the protected characteristics of the individuals refused.

There are no regulations requiring simple coherent pricing where leg+leg+leg = multi-leg fares, either, which is why ITA Software’s Matrix and its ability to resolve traveling salesman pricing problems across the fare code hellscape was worth a billion of dollars to Google.
What are those greener pastures for you and do you still use C#?
The price transparency requirement I linked above applies to health plans, not providers. (There's a separate price transparency requirement for hospitals but it's less useful to consumers with health plan coverage.)

I'm not sure what you mean about different codes for the same thing. The health plan MRFs all use the same CPT/HCPCS codes. Each code has a unique meaning.

Health plan member portals also have online shopping tools where you can do price comparisons for every network provider within a certain distance. So what you're asking for pretty much already exists, although many consumers aren't aware of this.

Funny, in the rental market, most states literally _very enthusiastically_ enforce a housing regulation where is staunchly illegal charge rent to two people for the same property, regardless of whatever contracts they've signed. So you know, how the airlines might book 103% of capacity on a plane? oh yeah, straight to jail. Guy signed a lease and defaulted, you find a substitute renter and you don't cancel the original tenant's payments? also, believe it or not, straight to jail.

The same way as in any other business contract. How much the government is willing to pay, how much they expect to benefit, what other uses they have for the money, and so on. In practice, the company will likely get a bit more profit from the license fee than it would get from selling the drug normally.
TCAS will use the Mode C or Mode S altitude provided by a standard SSR transponder if the intruder aircraft isn't TCAS-equipped. To determine the appropriate maneuver, the system calculates which trajectory will increase the vertical separation at the closest point of approach. TCAS generally favors minimizing disruption by requiring the smallest possible deviation from the current vertical trajectory, but if the intruder is climbing or descending, the system biases the RA based on the threat's current altitude trend, with the expectation that the intruder might level off.

You can read all about the threat resolution logic in section 3.10.8 of ICAO 9863.

The heart of the Canadian approach isn't a poison at all. Everything they use is perfectly ordinary stuff you'll find in the hospital. But if you paralyze somebody without taking over breathing for them they'll die. It also requires an IV line.

Nah, it’s not a court of law and the burden of solving the mystery lands on the shoulders of the unbelievers. It’s a sacred relic of a specific belief system—sacred to those Catholics who already believe it is real and are further encouraged in the validity of their faith by its existence. I am sure that probably none are Christian just because of the shroud, so even if it was proven to be a 14th century creation, that impact would probably not shake anyone’s faith. It just becomes “not a mystery” to them.

So the burden solely lays at the feet of the unbelievers. They are the ones that have the burden of proof, because until they can truly prove that it’s not what it purports to be, the mystery of it convicts them in their unbelief.
