I'm glad someone who's expert in React can answer these questions. I got several thoughts.

First of all, I don't believe React component is pure functional with the state hooks embedded inside the component with side effects. Calling UI=F(props) twice with the same props would not produce the same result given the different sets of states embedded in them.

Second, the local variable myState is const but the state is mutable; the variable myState is an alias snapshot of the state. Otherwise what's the purpose of handing out setMyState? setMyState is for mutating the state, right? It seems the need to keep myState constant is due to React's inability to detect changes to the variable to sync up the UI. It uses setXXX() to trigger the UI re-rendering. However, whether setXXX() queuing up re-rendering and causing re-rending loop is inconsequential to the programmers. It's React's implementation detail.

Third, I'm interesting in learning what kind of bugs mutable state would cause in React, so that we can design better systems down the road.

Political operative here. If you're wondering why healthcare reform has been so hard to get and so piecemeal, even though most Americans want it, the big reasons are:

1) any reform has to get past the Senate, and the Senate gives a lot of extra weight to states with conservative electorates. In 2009, this meant the pivotal Senators were right-wing Blue Dogs, an independent (Lieberman), and a former Republican (Specter). In 2024, this means the pivotal Senator will be a conservative Republican, since Dems run fewer Blue Dogs, and liberals can't win states like North Dakota and Louisiana.

2) people don't only vote on healthcare; Democrats also support much less popular stances on other issues, especially immigration.

Lobbying etc. matters some, but is much less important than those two big ones.
When healthcare companies are assholes, people die, and it's doubly infuriating that it happens in a way that no one is held liable

People are cheering that in a world full of corruption, someone was actually punished for what they do. That's the opinion. That's why they're celebrating.

Assassination is a leaky abstraction
>What I do find disappointing is the lack of concern

This is (was) the CEO of the largest health insurer in the country which has shown a lack of concern for paying out insurance or securing data both private and medical. Their data leak this year is second only to National Public Data's leak (also this year) of practically every single SSN on the planet and arguably worse because their leak also contains medical data.

Murder is never okay, but this guy is also about the most unsympathizable man in the country.
Single-payer proposals have failed in state referenda in non-conservative states.
We have to be careful that once authoritarian rule is established globally we won't really be able to get out of it. Right now, using social media to make that happen seems to be extremely effective and because democracies believe in the idea of "free speech at all costs" we really have nothing to stop this.

The answer was probably better education which needed to start 20 years ago in order to counter this but we didn't do it and now we really have no answers but to elect every puppet they push.

It's from Alibaba, which is Chinese, so it seems likely.
Except they voted for the guy who arguably started the inflation spike and will stoke inflation again by imposing tariffs on all imports (not to mention increasing deficits faster than the other guys would have).

> and most people don't really believe prices will magically drop 30% back to where they were in 2019

You'd be surprised. Most people don't, but a most of the people who voted for him did seem to that he was going to magically drop prices.

While the attention the case is getting from the public is understandable, if this had been some random shop owner opening his store for the morning that got shot, would the NYPD give it the same level of attention? If not, why is it ok for this CEO's killing to get greater resources than the random shop owner?

> health insurance companies to spend 80-85% of their premiums on claims and healthcare

I don’t really know what narratives you’re objecting to. But I want to point out the existence of that regulation doesn’t make healthcare companies passive bystanders in the cost of healthcare in America. e.g., notice it collectively incentivizes them to drive the overall cost of healthcare up as much as possible, to maximize the size of their slice of the pie.

The fundamental problem is running healthcare as a profit-driven system. The incentives operating the system cannot possibly be aligned with the people the system is ostensibly meant to serve. (Not that it’s not going to be unraveled, short of literal revolution.)

Oh I've lived in Canada for 25 years now and I see that around me... It just isn't something I've embraced though. There's a almost religious faith that houses can only go up, and I've lived through enough interesting times and places not to believe it for a moment (as has anybody over 60 on Canada as well).
Does this apply to ‘things’ such as life, air, water?
> require health insurance companies to spend 80-85% of their premiums on claims and healthcare

> enormous increase in administrative overhead

Do you see the problem here?

As an outsider it's hard to say, but clearly there is some ginormous loopholing going on here.

I haven't found much in the way of details, but apparently one of the reasons why insurance companies are buying up medical practices is because it enables accounting dipsy-doodle to avoid the healthcare spending requirements.
The incoming President told his supporters that if he lost they’d still have to the option of shooting his opponent, when he ran in 2016. Instead of being ejected from politics forever by an outraged public, he went on to win that election. Then another one more recently.

Sure. That includes the US health care system too.

We heavily regulate the supply and heavily subsidize payments.

Like a major premise of US healthcare policy is that preventing investment reduces costs. Good luck when that's the starting condition.

For example, reducing costs is the justification for limiting how many doctors are trained. Fortunately, our planning has been perfect rather than disastrous.

Is there any course about Android "administration"? I mean there are plenty of content on Linux/Windows administration (not programming): partitions, file systems, bootloaders, boot sequence, kernels, init(ialization), processes, shells, users, configuration, application installation and execution, logging, security, etc. How all of the components fit together, what interacts with what, and so on.

When I first got my phone was looking for an Android course which would explain all the above concepts (and more, like what is launcher, how notifications work, what other APIs there are, location, camera, microphone, etc.). But didn't find anything, only found courses/books about application development in Java/Kotlin. I have no interest in Android programming, just want to know how it works.
Many have experienced horrible React projects - after Angular fell out of fashion with the enterprisey crowd, React became the default framework so a bunch of bicycle brain teams adopted it. React actually has a bunch of unintuitive footguns so without adequate care, working on it becomes pretty disgusting and results in emotional trauma.

And anyway... the weird parts about React are kind of weird... some people just like Svelte more ;)
> All of these efforts to know listeners ignore music as an interactive art form. These Spotify features suggest that music is entirely about your own pleasure and ease and not something that’s meant to be engaged with, sought out, and even criticized. The user-focused promotion of AI doubles down on these habits. Listeners are supposed to be delighted that a robot knows every little thing about them, while never challenging them to expand or change.

I'm not a Spotify user, but this is something that has annoyed me about YouTube Music and recommendation algorithms more generally. The people who design these products will go on about revealed preferences and how what users say they want is not what they "really" want based on behavior, but what if who I am is not who I'd rather be? What I want is for the algorithm to push me towards being "the kind of person" who enjoys more varied and challenging music, films, art, etc than I currently do. But everything seems designed to keep you in this little local well of familiarity. To what end? Why not let me tweak that?
Realistically, the big cost differential in absolute terms in healthcare are borne in the elder group (65+). See this:https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7411536/. This is exactly where the "government social safety net" takes effect (medicare and medicaid) and, in my opinion, the real spending bazooka of US subsidies take effect.

I say this as someone who wound up owning one business in this area (health insurance agency/producer) and was looking at expanding directly to the insurance providing aspect. I really think people underestimate just how generous (high cost) the "social safety net" is, and have a grass-is-greener view towards other countries healthcare systems for people currently working.

> this guy is also about the most unsympathizable man in the country.

There's no way that is true. It's only remotely possibly true if you're only talking about people who at least nominally obey the rules and laws of society. You don't actually think that he was worse than a murderer, or a rapist, or a child abuser, of which we have many, many thousands in this country.
I'm terribly sorry, but all of your italicized fragments, taken in isolation, do paint a stark picture of the murder of a person.

You might have beef (or whatever you call it these days) with his job and industry but in the end a man was murdered. You may not like and "hate" seems appropriate to describe how you feel about a legitimate industry in the USA. Your issue is with a deeply embedded part of the US experience - health insurance, and not with this man.

Please attack the industry that you hate and not the individual ... who was murdered. That is what the journos are doing.
It's my second language, but I've lived in the US since 1995.

I probably see the word once a year at most, and kinda vaguely understood it from context, but I wanted to look it up.
Yes they did, i should have clarified, as IBM is becoming like Broadcom as an umbrella organization for all sorts of companies, the ibm core is different beast than some of the acquisitions they have been making

In my mind just like LinkedIn , GitHub and Microsoft are every distinct entities with a lot of differences on how they work , Hashicorp and IBM parent are different and will remain so. Integrating into Hashicorp for Gitlab would be very different than integrating into IBM core with different values for both businesses .
He was the CEO of a company who used an "AI" to deny over 90% of claims. His choices indirectly impacted the life of millions and possibly killed 1000s prematurely. The healthcare industry had it coming, he just happened to be in the wrong place for it.
Most bureaucratic woes can be attributed to abysmal board oversight, profit and non-profit alike.
On the one hand, there's the moral argument: we need janitors and plumbers and warehouse workers and retail workers and nurses and teachers and truck drivers for society to function. Why should their time be valued less than anyone elses?

On the other hand there's the economic argument: the supply of people who can stock shelves is greater than the supply of people who can "create value" at a tech company, so the latter deserve more pay.

Depending on how you look at the world, high salaries can seem insane.
> and they'd probably live longer

Is there evidence for this? In wealthy, developed European countries, I would bet in the southern ones, they are less likely to live in elderly homes, and vice versa with northern ones. I guess that this trend is more about culture than ability to pay.

> skews the game

What does this mean?
Like I said, I dont think it is about sympathy, but not wanting to live in a country where people are murdered in the street. That is the part that is disgusting and dangerous.
In USA this is called “freedom of speech” :)

This is a great article, and for anyone that wants a cheat sheet for the thread (and to double check my read):

* The "endemic disease" bucket describes things like cholera and known influenza strains, and what we're seeing is hazy reporting of flare-ups that happen in low-resource areas around the world on the regular.

* The "emerging infectious disease" bucket describes stuff like Ebola, which is scary but we've got something like a reasonable history of responding and containing to it, if we take it seriously.

* "Novel" is C19, or the first outbreaks of Ebola at the time, the point presumably at which we'd start thinking about novel precautionary measures applied preemptively.
That's fair.. I wasn't the original poster (nor was I offended by the request - see below for my own self-reflection), but I see your point for sure.

I'll admit that I can be guilty of speaking from personal authority/experience in forums and not feeling the need to provide references, because it's just a forum on the Internet and there's a limit to the effort I'm going to put into a discussion with strangers, but the other side of that is valid and there's nothing wrong with asking for receipts if you're skeptical...

In the end I am realizing I mostly took exception to the tone of the other person (not the demand itself), and that's on me.. I should have just ignored him and moved on. Not everyone knows how to communicate properly.. Even now he's responding to my other comments (and even jumped into this thread) to antagonize further.. oh well.

> Yes, the probability of tsunamogenic landslides do increase during earthquakes, but it's still quite unlikely for an event of this magnitude tens of km from the continental slope; this is why a properly-calibrated tiered system would be better

There is a tiered system, its calibrated based on a combination of magnitude and warning time for the initial alerts (updated notices are based on other measurements and observations, but if gathering and analyzing observations before an initial warning doesn't leave time to act on it, it doesn't matter how accurate the warning is.)
I mentioned it a couple times in the article, but here's a bullet point right in the conclusion:

> "Arm is more efficient": that's not always true—AMD just built the most efficient 192 core server this year, beating Ampere

I also talk about idle power draw being very high in comparison to AMD.

Having grown up thinking that I was libertarian, the US healthcare system really killed that entire panacea for me.

It came down to this simple realization:

In a somewhat socialized healthcare system, every dollar not spent to benefit the patient is called waste, and we work to reduce it. [0]

In a for-profit healthcare system, every dollar not spent on the patient is considered shareholder value, and we work to increase it.

My hardcore libertarianism ideals died right there, at that realization.

The advanced voice of ChatGPT is miles ahead of the Perplexity one. I subscribe to both.
The notion that the providers are the ones sucking up all the money in the healthcare industry is certainly... novel.

The majority of people in this particular industry have nothing to do with actually providing health care, just as the majority of employees at a major university have never stood in front of a blackboard.
Sure, the actual universal element of other OECD healthcare systems is price controls, de facto or direct, not necessarily whether private insurance still exists. I don’t think even a majority outlaw private insurance, and it’s a major part of quite a few.
> I'm sorry, but where do these writers get off wagging their fingers and tut-tutting people who'd prefer not to spend their neurons on sympathy for someone at the helm of an inhuman system?

It should be nationalized, and somehow magically all the problems go away?

Definitely was already there. I'd guess that people hate insurance companies more than they hate politicians - in fact, I'd go so far as to say that at least some of the hate for politicians is sublimated hate for insurance companies and our Kafkaesque healthcare system. It's almost a bit surprising that this is the first time this has happened. And now that someone has done it, it seems likely that there will be copycat attempts.
Oh i agree, but I never said those are the only choices. I was only exposed to React and a bit of Vue and Angular after Jquery so I'm speaking from my own experience. I am planning to stick with my choice that's all. My argument was mostly towards the hatred of react.

as for why I personally choose React was due to the job market, community support, debugging exp, TS support, and JSX just felt much more natural to me. I don't go everywhere hating other frameworks though. I think its good that we're tackling the same problem with different solutions, we have more choices.
> Russia isn’t going to die that easily. It’s gonna be in a slow decline for decades.

Yup. Russia is big enough and diverse enough to not die at once. Some might argue that the illegal invasion of Ukraine was its swan song.
Cursors are generally better, but they don't give any hint about how much more is in front of the cursor. I don't think there is a O(log n) algorithm to keep track of what position a given item is in a collection (k'th item out of n), which still keeps the other CRUD operations at O(log n). This would be useful to split a large, dynamically changing result set into smaller parts that can be scanned through using a cursor.
My preference would be to avoid even attempting to force all into a single chronology. Instead, imagine something like the output of `git log --graph`, where the network split/rejoin moments are also displayed by lines. It would allow people to tell that two independent conversations were going on, and that certain messages were written while another was not known.
> You don't actually think that he was worse than a murderer ...

Nobody can say Meta didn't try. This is what happens when you prevent companies from building nuclear because of "rare bees": https://arstechnica.com/ai/2024/11/endangered-bees-stop-meta...

Let's see how these "rare bees" fare in a future where gross overregulation and Western apathy to nuclear leads to companies giving up on clean energy entirely (solar/wind aren't stable enough.)

Meanwhile China brings more nuclear online monthly than we have in a decade. Maybe companies will simply build DCs abroad for their stable energy needs and we will see more whining about "national security!" and "lost jobs!"

If we don't fix the absolutely broken culture around building new infrastructure in the US, we are fucked.
