The new airframes (e.g. Max 8) have much larger overhead bins where the roller bags can sit vertically but it's going to take a long time for AC to retire the old fleet. Last week I was on an AC A321 that was old enough to have no WiFi, no IFE, and no plugs. It was a late flight so I just slept but it was kind of jarring to remember that it wasn't too long ago that none of those features were standard (I looked it up, I believe the airframe was made in 1997)
We drove over to PDX a few weeks back not because we had any flights, just to check it out. It's gorgeous - I can't believe I'm saying that about an airport in the US - it's just an amazing space. In addition to the architecture there are huge video walls above the TSA entrance that have calming forest/coastal scenes.
I find that unacceptable and frustrating, personally. If a message fails to send, I want the client to hold back any later messages until the failed message is resolved somehow. It should auto-retry and (hopefully) eventually succeed, or I can manually delete it and "release" the following messages.
That's fine, but I'm going to push back on the idea that objecting to people publishing hit lists is "tut tutting".
Given how many claims UHC denied it'd be real hard to find trustworthy security guards. Any one of them could have family or friends that suffered due to denied claims, something that (probably) won't show up on background checks.
Literally everyone I know IRL was like, “nice. More please.” I was actually surprised and heartened to see the initial HN thread, even, was overwhelmingly supportive.

This is top of my list for conversation topics to steer things toward when I’m around Republican relatives, so we’ll have something we can agree on.

Law-abiding doesn’t mean much when you can kill lots of people for money and remain within the bounds of the law. Killing one such person is definitely far less bad than killing a bunch of people arbitrarily. Yet only one of these cases is illegal, and it’s the better of the two.
how is $200 a month for “toxic waste outputs” you’re unable to use to “compete” anything but an indicator of dependence on externals?
This shouldn't be an issue for systems where a server mediates communication: the server should be timestamping messages, not the clients.

This could indeed be a potential problem for a decentralized system, or one where the server for some reason cannot (or cannot be trusted to) timestamp messages. In that case, I think the best behavior for a client would be to always display messages in the order they've arrived, regardless of any timestamp provided by the sender.

But this problem shouldn't exist for a system like Matrix. Matrix is (somewhat) decentralized, but each homeserver can still decide on the message ordering it will present to its own clients.

Some autocorrect software automatically converts two hyphens in a row into an emdash. I know that's how it worked in Microsoft Word and just verified it's doing that with Google Docs. So it's not like it's hard to include an emdash in your writing.

Good luck with that. Fortunately few CTOs/CEOs share your faith in a company already guilty of rampant IP theft, run by a serial liar.
as someone from VT, VT was way too small to do single-payer on it's own The whole point of single payer is to have a monopsony that can effectively negotiate with everyone else. For it to have a chance, they would have had to join with MA.

I think the reform that would be acceptable to the median voter is a public option for Obamacare. Just let people select Medicare as an option instead of one of the private companies (and even better, let companies provide it as an option for their employees as well).
Healthcare costs in the US are broadly in line with the level of consumption. Americans have a uniquely insatiable demand for tests, drugs and elective surgery. Most countries with significantly lower costs have very different cultural attitudes and/or some form of rationing, because the only way to meaningfully reduce the cost of health are is to reduce how much of it you consume.

In the US system, insurers are the only actor with any real incentive or ability to constrain costs by limiting consumption; a very large part of the bureaucracy involved in the insurance system is about trying to manage consumption. We're seeing exactly how well that's working out for them, spilled all over the sidewalk.

Talk to people in the UK or Canada or Germany or Australia. See how their media covers healthcare. They're furious about their healthcare systems too, they're talking about a mounting crisis, just for different reasons. These systems accept long waits and the flat refusal to fund less cost-effective interventions as a necessary evil.
We did not have new data on masks when the messaging on masks changed. The science said masks do not protect you and that is why experts initially said so. Then, they figured that this is not what people wanted to hear. People wanted to be told what to do to be safe and would not take “we do not know” as an answer. Politicians latched on this, the media latched on to this, and somehow it became a partisan issue. The path of least resistance was to just shut up, wear a mask and wait for the hysteria to subside.
But regulatory capture ensures that can’t happen.
To your country's credit Poland is punching above its weight relative to the rest of the deadbeats but I wasn't talking about tanks. However, you've sent 240 T-72 Soviet era tanks to Ukraine and ~12 Leopard tanks.

I was talking basic equipment like: 155mm artillery shells. In that case, unfortunately, the facts are not on your side.

The majority of 155mm shells that are sent to Ukraine come from the US. The US has increased production of 155mm shells 6x this year alone. The same is true for body armor and small arms.
Europe cannot ramp production in almost any category.

Then there's this.

That's Vernor Vinge's singularity, almost.
That is not how any of this works. Insurers and health chains are in a continuous process of rate-sheet negotiation, and the result of that negotiation is reflected in your premium costs. Most people's out-of-pocket costs are capped, and even the most routine surgeries (like a tonsillectomy) exceed the out-of-pocket cap (I checked! This is a number people report.)

This is about the trade association for anesthesiologists deputizing angry people on Twitter to go to bat for them overcharging for their services.
Hey folks. I know this one is a touchy subject. It is in no way intended to pile on those who are gleefully mocking a murder, and I should have probably included the subtitle ("Towards Ethical Data Science").

Rather, it's an encouragement for people who are paid to build software and data systems that shape people's lives to take a moment to reflect on that impact.

> Yes, we pay more per-capita for our public healthcare system than some countries do for universal coverage, but we don’t cover everyone. Just for the public parts.

Yes, because the US is currently experiencing an adverse selection bias where healthy avoid enrolling until an issue occurs. See this: https://www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=10.1257/app.20170117

> Once you actually tally up how many people are having their healthcare paid for by public dollars—local, state, and federal workers plus retired; the military, active and retired; Medicare (old people); Medicaid (poor and disabled); CHIP (poor kids); the families of some of those categories; et c—it’s really not the case that moving to entirely public-funded would even be as big a leap as one might suppose. A whole lot of people already have government-funded healthcare.

Government funded but it's not a social safety net or mandate in a conventionally sense: it's an insurance subsidy. It effectively incentivizes depressing your own personal income to achieve high-subsidy plans (namely, the silver plan in most if not all states) resulting in abnormally high subsidies. It's just a form of tax planning today. See people taking "early retirement" with substantial assets (>1mm, which isn't much for HN but substantial in much of the country) at 40, reducing disbursements, and effectively costing the taxpayer ~36k/year in subsidies.

In an idea world, your assets would be subject to seizure under means testing on assets, not just income, before subsidies are provided. Seriously, go check out reddit /r/fire. They talk about it (and how a reduction in ACA subsidies in 2025 will force them out of retirement at the advanced age of 45).

> What we really lack, that every single other OECD state I’ve looked at has as a feature of their healthcare systems, is more-aggressive price controls, either set directly or via partial or complete monopsony. We’ve sniffed around at it, but never taken a full bite.

I'm going to be real: this is just wrong. Price controls only works in two circumstances:

* You are willing to tolerate reduced availability of goods and services
* You are actively willing to prohibit others from purchasing goods and services with their own money

1 is complete anathema to the US consumer market. If price controls were to be implemented, the elderly would likely get care first, which is unlikely to yield practically the needed result relative to current costs curves -- keeping the working population working with preventative and minimizing the cost on the elder bracket. In my opinion, this mispricing is in part due to the ACA, but that's neither here nor there.

2 would require Norway style controls of Ozembic and similar. I don't think Americans would ever tolerate "your money, you aren't allowed to buy it". Prices are high because Americans can pay in dollars more than other nations and are willing to do so.

There is a very real perception that medicine can fix poor health choices and we should spend arbitrarily large amounts of money to fix it. It's a fantastic business to be in -- people insist "healthcare is a human right" and are willing to tax others to pay it.
While correct, i wonder when the car insurers, home insurer CEOs etc will suffer the same fate. Answer: they won't. Because they provide a valuable service.

The problem is that healthcare insurance is no longer connected to the value of protection against accidents and extreme, unforseen situations.

Until and unless we recognize that medical insurance only turned into an all you can eat medical buffet in the last 70 years due to government intervention, we will be doomed to continue to bankrupt society with money transfers to captive markets dominated by AETNA, CIGNA, UHC , etc
It conflicts me to do “the reddit thing” and say “please read the article” but no. Personal item is not a carry on bag in the eyes of the airline.
Yes, and mobbing often leads to mass deaths and people worse off than the state before. I dont think this is the straw that breaks the camel's back or anything. It just seems like one more incremental step in the wrong direction.

Maybe I'm sensitive because I have been reading about the french revolution, and how mob rule lead to mass murder which left everyone worse off.

I pay around $20k/year for health insurance for myself, my wife and my daughter. I need insurance coverage to save my life and it is denied and I die. Under what US Statute (any state or federal) can a prosecutor charge the people

also people should most definitely NOT kill law abiding citizens! we do have laws for that
I'm certainly not going to valorize insurers, but I find it deeply frustrating the providers are getting a pass here. You can see it on this thread, where there are commenters expressing surprise that I'd even suggest providers are the primary beneficiaries of the current system.
State solutions solve a self-imposed problem. With mithril I just do whatever I want cause it doesn't dictate shape or behavior to my data. I don't have to pass it around (except naturally) and event-ize up-and-down, cause it's easily accessible and lives outside of a vnode/element tree. Although data can be put into vnode, if it really belongs to its graphical state which would make no sense in its absence, e.g. current 'uncommitted' value in an input.

But you are not getting nothing there is actual value if you are able use that much and consistently hitting limits in the 20$ plan.
It isn't about the profit margin of the insurance companies it's about their purpose. What value do they add to the healthcare industry?

Aren't healthcare insurance companies intrinsically an inefficiency that could be outright eliminated?

Those are fair points, I didn't mean to imply that there are only negatives, and I don't consider myself to be in the former camp you describe as wanting nothing to do with these "interns". I shouldn't have stuck with the intern analogy at all since it's difficult for me to compare the two, with one being fairly autonomous and the other being totally reliant on a prompter.

The only point I wanted to make was that an LLM's ability and propensity to generate plausible falsehoods should, in my opinion, elicit a much deeper sense of distrust than one feels for an intern, enough so that comparing the two feels a little dangerous. I don't trust an intern to be right about everything, but I trust them to be self aware, and I don't feel like I have to take a magnifying glass to every tidbit of information they provide.

I don't want anyone to die, but I feel a lot more empathy with innocent shooting victims than with the CEO of a company known for driving people into bankruptcy or death. Any school shooting victim's life should be considered equally valuable as that of any CEO. Or the lives of people dying from preventable diseases.
That’s very different from being in a union though. Without the collective bargaining process unions would be unrecognizable to most members. Doctors either negotiate directly with their employer, or take whatever prices Medicare and insurers will give them.

And currently the AMA’s position is that congress should fund more resident slots which is the limiting factor for the number of doctors.

>precisely why doctors and lawyers get paid so much

I don’t know that regulation is precisely why. It surely contributes, but doesn’t explain all of it.

Carpenters are very rarely regulated, HVAC technicians usually are. The training required is similar. The average salary difference is less than $10k a year.

Doctor’s (and lawyer’s) salaries vary drastically by specialty, and number of doctors in a specialty doesn’t explain all or even most of the pay disparity.

There are far fewer pediatric emergency medical physicians than GI docs, but GI docs make way more money. The extra income has nothing to do with restricted supply, it’s a side effect of the way insurers pay (by procedure and GI does way more procedures).
Age 65+ is roughly 17% of pop and accounts for 37% of all spending. It's quite literally the place to focus on cost savings.
Both of your answers are positive numbers, so at least you can both agree there is a line.

I have a few other ideas for the airlines to drive growth:

- discounted standing room only tickets (pending FAA approval) on short flights

- frequent 60 second ads on the seat-back monitors and in the bathrooms. You can pay extra for an ad-free experience

- help load and unload the checked luggage for extra loyalty points

- “no-rush” shipping for your checked luggage

- a Premium Elite Sky Safety ™®© program where you get more oxygen and priority assistance in the unlikely event of loss of cabin pressure or crash.

Editing to add:
You get 2 free restroom passes with a frequent flier account. A Medallion, Star Alliance, Gold Preferred, or a close personal relationship with an active-duty servicemember or honorably discharged veteran entitles you to an additional one free pass. Timed usage fees apply afterwards. Terms and conditions apply. Void where prohibited by law. Consult your doctor if restroom usage during travel is appropriate for you.
So people in the sticks are entitled to self-driving ride-sharing. Then why not casinos, operas, theme parks?

The deal has always been and will always be the same for the rural people: more freedom for less things to do.
They are great at what they do.
The question is what else do people not care enough about to pay for.
Surely we have to have some people lurking here that currently or used to be at McKinsey, I guess it wouldn't be surprising why they wouldn't chime in, but many have the same feelings about every other sus company many of us work for.

It really is a pleasant place to be.

There is a free theater with ~16 seats that shows 5-minute film shorts. And famously, any restaurant that has a brick and mortar in town can't charge prices higher in the airport.

I've often thought it wouldn't be a terrible place to take a date, at least in the pre 9/11 security days when you could access the whole terminal.
Having recently been down this journey with kysely, these type-safe query builders still seem to have a large gap when it comes to the return types of SQL functions and opaque types.

My current project uses PostGIS which uses opaque types for storing geometry. Geometry columns are added to tables via a function instead of traditional alter table syntax, and select/where clauses on geometry columns need to use PostGIS functions to render the column into useable data.

Unless a system like Litdb includes an easy way to provide type definitions for function return types, it won't be usable with an extension like PostGIS without heavy use of escape hatches, at which point most of the value is lost.
Starving people are more likely to eat bush meat, which is one way viruses can jump from one host species to another.
Insurers will also sometimes contract out their claim handling to those same TPAs.
I don't think IRC is a good analogy here because there's no "message resync" that happens when the netsplit is resolved. If there are two people on opposite sides of a split, and they both send messages to a channel while things are still split, they will not see the other's messages when the split is over.

In the Matrix case, if a homeserver disappears for a while, it will sync any missed messages when it comes back online.

What are you referring to?

Air France, Lufthansa and BA all have carry-on included in the fare.

If by "any European airline" you specifically mean Ryanair, then yes. We can expect people to pay if they did not print their boarding pass themselves.
This is interesting, because at my job I have to manually edit registration addresses that use the long em-dash as our vendor only supports ASCII. I think Windows automatically converts two dashes to the long em-dash.
It's only “unbundling” if the basic fare goes down by the carry-on cost. If the total ticket price goes up, it's called “gouging”. Hope that helps!
In theory this type of price differentiation is good since it allows extremely budget conscious folks to travel for very cheap with no-frills options while allowing others to travel with the same amenities for the same price except certain things are add-ons rather than built in to the price of the ticket.

The problem is that the universal implementation is that the "no-frills" tickets end up being the same price as they were before when they included things like carry on bags while tickets that include such "luxuries" end up even more expensive, leaving every single passenger feeling ripped off.

I feel like I'm missing something in this space since every airline is doing it but it makes no real sense from a consumer perspective. Price differentiation on extremely low-cost options makes sense, but only if it actually feels like a deal rather than paying the same price for a worse product, which is almost always what seems to happen.
