So they’re gonna charge to bring a handbag? A backpack? A laptop? We’re living in the worst aspects of capitalism as it eats itself and any fake vague promise of a decent system is flying right out the window. It’s only going to keep getting worse and worse until we’re crushed by it.

>So when UHC’s CEO was assassinated yesterday morning, on his way to brag to his shareholders about record profits

IMO a lot of the discourse on this topic is based more on vibes that reality.

UnitedHealthCare's profits are down YoY- both in absolute #s and in terms of their operating margin. (from 6.6% down to 5.6%). But if you frame the assassination as "CEO who has reduced the degree by which his company profits from sick people", you end up with a whole different batch of theories and motives.

(note that UnitedHealthcare is a subset of UnitedHealthcare Group, so you have to dig into their filings to see UHC's numbers broken out)

You can exploit people for decades before they rise up and murder you.

Leaders misinterpret decades of bloodlessness as peace, and as license to exploit even harder.

But when the exploiters rig the legal system and the political system to deny people justice, eventually there will be blood.

This is how it has always been. The ancient cycles of exploitation and payback are not about to stop now.
Well, I thought it was well written.

Can someone explain the legal concept in plain terms? I had thought a jury cannot be compelled to decide one or other way, and that jurors can vote as the will.
> I was also eliminated from the jury pool in San Mateo county when I said I would not automatically assume a police officer was telling the truth.

This seems like a good reason to start “creatively interpreting” these questionnaires. Like, maybe I automatically assume they’re telling the truth until I notice a whole bunch of inconsistencies and start applying my critical thinking skills. The question just asks about my initial assumption.
Expecting individuals to hold a large organisation back from doing the things its incentivised to do solely through their personal morality is never going to work, and killing one dude doesn't change that. The entity interprets integrity as damage and routes around it. Railing against "greed" is an easy way to avoid doing anything that might actually change things.

Ever wonder why only one country has these healthcare companies making such huge profits, and it's a country whose health outcomes are so much worse than its peers? It's not because their people are greedier than others, or more alienated, or individually less moral. It's because their health system is set up to reward that behaviour.

(And if you want zip code to be less of a predictive feature, maybe legalise building housing. Or let your data analysts talk honestly about race, either would work.)
> React doesn't make you a better developer, it makes you a better React developer.

React's goal isn't to make you a better developer though. It's goal is to make it easier to build non trivial, stateful applications
Our healthcare system literally shaves ~5 years of lifespan off of the country as a whole. Illegal denial of claims by his company almost certainly kill hundreds of thousands a year.
Accurate. They are literally middle men taking a cut without offering anything to the process. Switch to single payer, dump the middlemen, and have our taxes pay for essential services (keeping us alive and healthy). Seems simple enough but…

The 9965 is a much faster chip than the Ampere, but also it is at the point of diminishing returns. The Ampere struggles to match much cheaper AMD offerings in the phoronix suite, it is not better value at all.
Literally the same thing is true of health care providers, which is why we have artificially constrained supply of physicians, sky-high delivery of procedures other countries don't routinely do, and integer multiple compensation across the board for practitioners.
The way you can avoid this:

- design "UI struct" for what you want to display

- Have React fire off events when doing actions

- Those actions get piped into your UI-less solution

- Your UI-less solution updates the "UI struct"

- React updates the parts of the tree that was using part of your struct

if you design this struct in the right way, you can have the updates be _very_ targetted (like, React doing basically no extra work). But your UI struct needs to be really carefully set up so you're not firing things off all over the place.

I think it's still an easier problem than keeping your DOM in sync entirely, but it's unfortunately very easy to accidentally over-render still.

Agreed, absolutely. I was surprised by the author's aside that mentioned a colleague that disagreed, claiming that it's ok or even useful (what?) that two clients (or even the same client in different situations) could show different message orderings... and acknowledging that this point is debatable.

It's not debatable! There is, actually, in reality, one true message ordering (at this time I think we can safely ignore relativistic effects), and that message ordering should be the one that is always displayed. Our technology and the nature of distributed systems may make it impossible to always faithfully determine what the true message ordering is, but at the very least, the implementation should decide on a single message ordering, and always present that same message ordering. (This does mean that clients connected to different homeservers might see different orderings; this is unfortunate but probably unavoidable. But clients connected to the same homeserver should all see the same ordering.)

Anything else is just terrible, awful, horrible UX, that will ultimately confuse users. And it will also reduce user faith in the system as a whole: if they notice the inconsistent ordering, they will assume the system is buggy and unreliable.

At the risk of sounding way too absolutist: this is not debatable, and anyone who thinks it is, is wrong.
From Drizzle's SQL-like example [1] by following classical SQL and including .select() first it wont to be able to provide type-safe queries. E.g. In litdb every from/join returns a new typed query builder where every reference is typed to a joined table that's included in the query.

Drizzle also uses its own custom query language e.g.

.where(eq(countries.id, 10))

Whereas litdb lets you use the full expressiveness of SQL but ensures all references are typed:

.where(c => $`${c.id} = 10`)

I started a new project recently and chose C++ because I wanted cross platform, and a language that let me write the highest performance code I could imagine. C is so lacking in abstractions, I don't think I can deal with it. But C++ is such a pain, I keep looking at Rust and feeling temptation. I'm doing some number crunching, and geometric algorithms, among other things. Not sure if Rust is as good as C++ there.
Yes, I agree that is at least one reason that happened, and possibly the main one.

I think the Nation’s quote of him on the topic points out something that may be true, which is that he might have balked at doing it given how many people would be laid off (hundreds of thousands, surely) and what the optics of that would be, though I kinda doubt the quote itself.

But yeah, even if he’d been gung-ho behind it, it wasn’t happening.
Insurers use the Medicare schedule as a weapon to simply reduce how much providers get paid and/or increase how much patients have to pay out-of-pocket.

The Medicare schedule is generally low because of the negotiating power of the Federal government so when Anthem (or whoever) says something like "we'll pay Medicare rates" or "we'll pay 120% of the Medicare rate" they're really just cutting payments and increasing patient costs. Nothing more.

In the recent BCBS case, all they were doing was saying "it may take 8 hours for the surgery but we're only going to pay you for 3". They haven't made the surgery cheaper to provide. They just wanted to pay out less.

Also, if we're going to simply do everything based on Medicare, why exactly do we even need private insurers? Just expand Medicare to everyone if the schedules are good, right?
I've had the feeling for a while that the real tension is between "personal/individual freedom" and "corporate/business freedom."

It feels like the more left-leaning states have more of a focus on the freedom of the individual. Examples include marijuana laws, high minimum wage, gambling, strong environmental protections, strong healthcare, and strong safety net, etc.

Compared to the more right-leaning states focused on the freedom of businesses. Examples include right-to-work, low minimum wage, low worker's comp, limited environmental protections, lower corporate taxes, etc.

The primary exception would be gun laws, which the right favors more than the left.

Hi! I think your best bet would be the developer.android.com documentation.

Although there are code references, most of them explain the concepts in the beginning or inbetween. Just ignore the code parts.

Here is an example for the notifications you mentioned:

But you can find info on the other topics in here as well.
I don't understand why you think pointing to another odious person rebuts my argument.
Okay. So other than getting mad on HN, what do you propose we do to fix the feelings people have about this situation and prevent this happening again?
It’s not legal. It’s an intentional perversion of the course of justice by the jury. But it’s something that cannot be prosecuted without impugning the independence of the jury.

I don't think you're arguing the same point. I agree with you that when two people write a message at nearly the same time, they may (initially) see those messages in a different order. But the server should decide what the ordering is, and inform the clients, which should update their view of the world.

The ordering the server decides may not be "correct" (for whatever definition of correct matters to you), but what is most important in this situation is consistency.
Hmmm I've recently been evaluating https://www.kysely.dev after finding that Prisma can't support foreign data warehousing (FDW) with Postgres.

I don't really know enough about Kysely yet to make an informed opinion between those two. If you know more than me, can you give me your take??

Edit: Hmmm perhaps based on the primary author's other repos (https://github.com/mythz) it looks like they're a fan of C#. Perhaps it's the LINQ-like syntax that separates them the most.
TBH it's easily in the other direction. If I can get something to clients quicker that's more valuable.

If paying this gets me two days of consulting it's a win for me.

Obvious caveat if cheaper setups get me the same, although I can't spend too long comparing or that time alone will cost more than just buying everything.
I escaped a FAANG to a small company of about 22 people and that was awesome. I’ve been working for a state org that’s considerably larger for over a year with great results. Forget about working someplace that brings you glory or prestige. It makes life a lot better when your life matters more than your career.
You're saying "the Medicare schedule" as if it's an abstraction, but it is literally the payment process used by the largest buyer of medical services in the country. What Medicare pays matters more than what anybody else pays, because most medical services are performed for Medicare patients. So I'll ask directly: how is it unconscionable for Anthem to use those policies, but not for Medicare to use them?

You are exactly right that Anthem is demanding providers charge less for surgeries, not for surgeries to take less time. Providing "less anesthesia" is not a thing. This is entirely about preventing health providers from charging more money to Anthem and, in turn, their customers. That's why Medicare does the same thing.
true but that doesn’t make it right when people are running these states are paid by the same people
who benefit from the current system…
I've never heard of a premeditated murder in broad daylight be so universally celebrated by Americans regardless of their political leanings.

Other insurance companies have already started taking down personal information about their leadership teams. I guess they're afraid of copy-cats.

But will it change anything related to their scummy business model, or will the state assert itself to maintain the status quo?
So they figured out that they needed different firmware with a zero day they had access to, so they contrived a way to get the firmware on there? That seems like maybe not a search? Idk. If a search warrant includes destruction to obtain information, seems like this would fly.

Clearly. I've heard people claim that no jury would convict him, because everybody knows someone who was screwed by their insurance provider. A sad indictment of the scammy nature of the US health insurance industry.

Forgejo jumps to mind.
Yes. I almost added a comment about that too. In my experience, all doctors, nurses, and other caregivers with whom I have interacted at hospitals have told me they feel treated like "factory workers" who must meet stringent "quality of care" KPIs, set by hospital executives far removed from actual patient care.
Yes, the new terminal in Bengaluru is BEAUTIFUL! I was amazed walking through it with how lush it was. Really love that look and very fitting for the climate (more or less)
If such shootings became more common then they would provide an incentive for change. As a tool for punishment they are flawed, as a tool for change they are crude but potentially effective.

Somebody is going to be appointed new CEO, and I think it's hard to deny that "if you produce too many bad health outcomes that reduces your own life expectancy" isn't a powerful motivator, no matter what the rest of the system rewards.

Policy change would be a better tool towards that end. But even the tiniest steps in that direction like Obamacare/ACA get heavy opposition.

How do they leak? Are they even an abstraction?
Glad I got out years ago after the price dropped and never recovered. Going public was not good for consumers or investors.
I actually think the murderer would have been found and either arrested or killed for resisting arrest by now, were that the case.

That the murderer, who killed someone in literal broad daylight on the sidewalk of one of the biggest cities in the world, is still on the loose speaks volumes to me about all sorts of things.
The people in those states do not want it, which is why state single payer referenda fail.
Why would they tighten it up? It's supposed to be great for the economy. It wouldn't make sense to do that if it's good, would it?

And there's virtually no country that doesn't let people with absolutely massive amounts of money buy their way in. 50 people a year buying top floor apartments in the middle of town in cash affects things far less than 150000 people a year happily paying quadruple what locals would pay to rent a normal apartment.
A lot of private "health insurance" at large companies is just:

- the company pays out-of-pocket for all employee health expenses

- they don't want to directly deal with bills from doctors and hospitals, so they contract that out to a third-party administrator (TPA), which purely handles paperwork and has no financial role at all

but this doesn't remove the tension between the employer wanting to pay less, and the patient wanting more to be paid for

(and for single-payer systems, you still have the tension between taxpayers wanting to pay less and patients wanting more care, although those groups at least overlap a lot more)
The first paragraph of the article mentions that handbags, laptops, etc are still allowed on this discount fare. It’s the rollers for the overhead bins that they’re talking about.

I don't personally hate React, I use it for all my personal projects.

But I try to stay away from it at work and I would rather push Vue 3.

There's few reasons:

- React does not really have a framework as good as Nuxt, which is light years ahead of the terrible mess of Next, and much more solid than Remix (which oddly comes also out with questionable stuff baked in)

- React is easy and funny to learn, but it's tough to master properly when it comes to few several key aspects like..There could be a PhD in hooks complexity, and all of that to avoid using class based lifecycle which was uglier but...much easier to manage

- Performance. It's just not good as on alternatives. At some point you scale, SEO and performance matter, React bites you back. There's many issues I could list from server to client side rendering and this will never be fixed due to how React's rendering works. Not only that but on React alternatives like Nuxt you end up thinking about performance way later

- DX on aspects like styling. I've tried everything and the DX of authoring and maintaining the style of react components is just meh
You could argue that it’s better to have to pay for things like bags, carryons or food as you use them. Problem is that they probably won’t lower prices from the current level so it’s basically shrinkflation.
The problem with our health insurance system is that it's insidious. Our doctors spend ~25% of their time filling out information that only gets filled out to try to get insurance to not deny the claims, and hospitals have entire billing departments whose only job is dealing with the billing of our stupid ass system. The problem isn't just the ~15% that the insurance companies take directly, it's that since their percentage of profit is capped, they work to raise prices of the entire health care system so that their 15% cut is bigger. Insurance companies literally negotiate pharma companies to charge a larger amount to uninsured people so they get to take a bigger cut.
> We have a system of laws and courts to decide what is criminal.

We do, but unfortunately it heavily favors the party with the most money. If you want to take a health insurance company to court it's gonna cost you a lot of money in lawyer fees and you'll face a phalanx of corporate lawyers who have a lot of experience in crushing cases brought by their customers. That's not to say that people should go out and take matters into their own hands, but there is a lot of pent-up frustration out there and we really need to start addressing some of these issues before more of this happens.
I do recognize a distinction as well - what this guy did was worse.

Don't get my wrong, shooting someone in broad daylight is a bad thing and I will agree that we shouldn't encourage it. In this case I don't have any sympathy for the victim. There's a difference there - I recognize that the assassin is wrong but that's orthogonal to my sympathy (or in this case, lack of) for the victim.

What the CEO did was worse. While someone who premeditates a murder clearly has knowledge of and familiarity with the person being murdered the CEO does not have that for the deaths that are a result of denying care. They feel almost clinical to him, numbers on a balance sheet to be weighed against the bottom line. It's textbook banality of evil - the deaths he was responsible for were just the cost of doing business, and what a business it is.
