The problem with this argument is that it assumes that one killing implies anarchy and and discarding of the system. It does not. Chances are, most reasonable people believe there should be a chain of justice with courts, laws, and investigations.

Someone has turned to vigilante justice here not because they believe that the courts are useless, but because they believe that this is such an extreme case that courts would not have worked in this case.

What I believe people fear is not the rise of anarchy due to one killing, but a fundamental shift in attitudes of the ordinary people in response to the unreasonable rise of the power structure. This threatens not order but the very power structure itself, which implies that a lot of people who benefit from injustice will suddenly be at risk of losing those benefits (money).
My wife's practice is directly affected by this, the fees insurers charge her to receive money from them are crazy. Some insurers will only pay her in a debit style card that they then charge her an extra percentage fee for receiving.
About 1% of VFIAX is UnitedHealthcare. This is my main mutual fund holding. Product idea: auto short selling in proportion to your holdings for companies you dislike.

So why are we putting jerseys on and taking the field against the insurers when virtually all of the actual money is going to providers? We could zero out all insurance costs, putting insurers into literal de jure indentured servitude, and get nothing more than a grocery store circular coupon discount on health costs, because insurers are not in fact where the costs are.

I tried to use the Find My Phone feature with my Samsung account a couple days ago. Log into Samsung with Google, on my friend's device as I've lost my phone, and Google says "we've sent a prompt to your phone to log in"... the phone that I'm trying to find. No alternative options, I just got frustrated and gave up and luckily found it on my own. Still not over how incredibly stupid that was.
I don't think you understand me. I'm not saying people are taking to fainting couches over norms violations. They're reacting to people like Taylor Lorenz literally calling for the assassination of people by name. In my case, past that, for Lorenz doing so based on a comically flawed understanding of what her target was doing.
I hate it because of announcements like this; we are, as a small team, just getting to terms with react 18; a lot of libraries still are not working well with it and there is 19 already. It sucks.

So yeah nothing wrong with the concept of react, just the usual and terrible javascript ecosystem churn with stuff we don't need, but now everyone will have to update and so do we. Nice if you have a dedicated frontend team for every of your apps, not so nice for a small team that has to manage many apps across many clients.

I like major (potentially) compatibility breaking updates every 10 years or so, not every 3 weeks.

So yeah, we went off react to vanilla js, htmx and liveview type stuff which makes this all far simpler. Dev is also far simpler for us; all the pitfalls are no longer there. There might be some advantages to react in some cases; we won't look back; we never had a more relaxed team especially since we ditched nextjs and react; the trying out of other tech for frontend made us realize react was wrong for us all along anyway. ymmv of course.
Europe isn't a single place. Some countries do, some don't. I don't think I've ever heard of a jury trial in Netherland, but France, Belgium and the UK apparently still have it.
Yes, that's literally crazy talk. Boeing shareholders haven't broken any law currently on the books. Regardless of what Boeing (the corporation) and its employees might have done there is zero political will to change the US Constitution Article I, Section 9, Clause 3, or the 5th Amendment. Not going to happen in our lifetimes.

The level is aggressive ignorance that we see in HN comments about legal issues is both hilarious and depressing. Most HN users are educated US citizens and yet somehow they're still ignorant about the basics. I guess that's an indictment of our educational system?

As much as I agree with investing alongside your values, I don't think holding shareholders criminally liable for the companies they own fits alongside my concept of justice. Reasons why I'm against shareholder criminal liability

* Shareholders do not directly commit crimes. We should hold those that directly commit the crime liable.

* Shareholders often hold assets that hold stocks. Should I be responsible if I own an index fund with stocks in a company that owns stocks in a company that commits a crime?

* Shareholders do not have perfect information about the inside operations of a company. I cannot read internal emails to determine if I own a shares in a company that is planning on committing a crime.

* Shareholders can physically be outside of the legal jurisdictions that the company is operating from. Is it fair if Venezuelan shareholders are effectively unpunished while US resident shareholders are held responsible?

If the shooter is ever caught he will probably die while "resisting arrest". A trial gives him a platform, and as you say a jury of his peers is unlikely to convict him.

This is kinda true, even with a generous take on the CIA: they don’t want rogue freebooters screwing with their plans—why, you might destabilize a democracy they weren’t planning to replace with a dictatorship!

But also the trading reputation of a country is kinda a common good that individuals can profit by tarnishing, which makes it a prime target for very-valid and probably-a-good-idea regulation of that sort.
Forget the individuals. How do you fix the system that lead people to feel this way?

Well, this really depends on the protocol and architecture of the system.

If it's a system where the server is merely store-and-forward, where it forgets its knowledge of messages after the recipients have received them, then sure, your stance is reasonable. The client will decide on message ordering; it can either just display in the order received from the server, or use any timestamps stored in the messages to order them (including possibly reordering if messages arrive out of order). The client has no other source of truth it can draw from, and so different clients may order things differently. (Even in this case, though, for many systems like this I would expect the server to timestamp the messages, and for all clients to honor those timestamps, so in practice everyone should see the same ordering.)

But Matrix is not such a system: each homeserver is the system of record for what messages have been received, and what order they go in. In this case, I would expect all users to see the same ordering, assuming all clients are able to query and receive the full history from the server.

> Friday's report shows 150,000 people joined or re-joined the workforce last month. Much of this growth is driven by immigration. The foreign-born workforce has grown rapidly over the last year, adding 1.4 million workers, while the native-born workforce shrank by nearly 600,000 workers.
Every air canada flight I have been on in the past few years always has the overhead bins full.
I absolutely refuse to check in carry on because they have lost my bags or I have had to wait 2 hours for the bags to get on the carrousel.

I was thinking if we can somehow redesign air planes to have less under cargo space and more carry on space? I have never heard of the cargo store being full.

No way. Humanity since the dawn of time has always had the potential to mob when things became dire. We still have it today, only it is more controlled via technology and rationality. This killing will not start anarchy. But it does have the capability to start a resistance against existing power structures, and that is what everyone is actually (consciously or unconsciously) worried about. We are only conditioned to believe that anarchy might ensue as that is the easiest way to instill fear of rebellion against the power structure.
I dont think it counts for something good. I think it is giving in to one of the worst possible aspects of humanity. Like people cheering at a lynching.

Yes, but unless it's literally Lasik, which has a robust private market, your provider will probably literally make a price up on the spot. That happened to me several years ago, when we needed urgently to get a CT scan for our daughter; it was late in the afternoon, the provider couldn't get the insurer on the horn, they proposed to do it the next day, I was jumpy and said "fuck it I'll pay out of pocket", they looked confused and then just made up a price: $1000.
They are an integral part of the mess we're in, and they have a vested interest in the status quo.

Otherwise, I agree with you.
Pay as you go using the anthropic API and an open source UI frontend like librechat would be a lot cheaper I suspect.
> 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 think there is not much point in defining a single metric of "worse" because that is confusing. A rapist is worse if they are following your spouse. This guy is worse if he is about to make a decision that will prevent your loved one from getting medical treatment at the exact time that they need it.
“Lightening” is misspelled, and some other phrases are a bit odd. A translator app with bad english copy kind of ruins that first impression, getting that reviewed could improve this page a lot.

I wish we had more pretty architecture like this in the U.S. Our architecture is so utilitarian/corporate and built at the lowest price and just enough to meet building codes. I get why it is the way it is, but I can still wish.
It’s just unbundling, it’s not the end of the world, relax. Most “basic economy” is already like this.

This seems like a result of people buying primarily based on price via Kayak et al without seeing the full picture, and tools like Google flights have already started correcting for it by adding baggage into the all-in price that they display/sort by.

One man's perversion is another man's justice.

If the law itself is unjust then the only just course a jury can take is to find the defendant not guilty.
In a society where democratic tools no longer function effectively—due to capture by concentrated powers—people often feel powerless to address systemic harms. I can understand how the only power an individual can have in that situation is something like murder.. but it’s making many assumptions.. like this person really was working as an individual from moral grounds in the interests of majority of society.. and that we can trust this moral judgement to and individual, as in today it might be an arguably utilitarian good but tomorrow it might be a cultural or religious thing.. will this action really would have any positive affect on healthcare results for many people, or change any behaviors of people in power apart from getting more security guards..
Well that and people finding the idea repellant and voting against it.
The "banality of evil" was originally used to describe the bureaucrats who enabled the mass-murder of Holocaust victims (Godwin's law strikes again!). Their actual goal, the primary outcome they were trying to maximize, was murdering Jewish people and other "undesirables". I don't think this guy was trying to do anything on that level. I don't think he sat down every day and said "how do we kill more people?" Rather, he was working within a really bad system that has bad incentives and no one knows how to fix it.
I don't either, but people feel this way about millionaires and healthcare execs for a reason, they're not just being cruel for the sake of it. Think about the reasons for it, and try to come up with a solution. That's a way more interesting discussion than getting mad about people being dumb on BlueSky or whatever.
developers should think long and hard about what they do, where they work and what is the impact of their work on society. if your “ticket” says “do some data mining shit to figure out a way to deny claims” perhaps polishing up your resume is a good idea
Yeah, I've been travelling a fair bit for work lately and I kind of get it. The majority of the flights I'm on are full and if they're not a Max 8 with the "rollers can sit vertically in the overhead bin" there's almost always a handful of people that have to gate check their carry-on. By offering an even lower fare class that doesn't allow carry-on at all, they eliminate the need to randomly choose/offer gate checking.

It's kind of a... you've made the bed and now you have to lay in it situation though. I usually have an underseat bag with my tech stuff in it and a (regulation-sized) Pelican case with clothes or tools or both. I bring the Pelican case onboard with me because both Air Canada and WestJet have done an atrocious job of having my checked bags arrive on time. They've gotten better in the last few months but earlier this year I was keeping a tally: Air Canada had successfully gotten my bags to my destination and back 3/9 times and WestJet 1/4 times. On one trip I flew out on Sunday, my bags arrived at the hotel on Wednesday, I flew home on Thursday, and my bags arrived back home on Monday. I don't want to drag that case through 3-4 airports, but I also want to have clean underwear when I go to work on Monday...
> 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.

In the unlikely event that they appointed a CEO who felt sufficiently at-risk to issue orders to improve health outcomes at the expense of profit, how much effect would those orders have? Most likely the people below him would just ignore that CEO, find ways to rationalise that he didn't mean what he was saying. If necessary the board would go around the CEO and talk to the layer below him directly.
I read the updates and I know we will never need this stuff and we will never use it. However, we cannot not update to it for the clients that use it as other libraries will start using it. It is why we left react; this churn is just mental for things that have no value to most dev users. Even if it has potential value, many will just skip it as so many things from previous versions are not used in many codebases we see (and we see a lot in different large corp repositories).
It's not enough for some companies that need to ensure it won't happen.

I know for a fact a major corporation I do work for is vehemently against any use of generative A.I. by its employees (just had that drilled into my head multiple times by their mandatory annual cybersecurity training), although I believe they are working towards getting some fully internal solution working at some point.

Kind of funny that Google includes generative A.I. answers by default now, so I still see those answers just by doing a Google search.
When you actually look into the details, you'll find that "universal healthcare" doesn't have a universal definition and there are incredible numbers of negative outcomes in other developed nations. People from every developed nation will complain about how much their health system sucks as long as there isn't an American in the room. Reality and Reddit are rarely the same thing.
i am afraid i don't understand what you are trying to say.

how do these things relate to our discussion?
I think you are perhaps not aware of how people use messaging apps in the real world. Many people (myself included, sometimes) will break sentences or sentence fragments into different messages. If the messages are displayed out of order on the recipient's side, it would be pretty hard to understand.

And even in the case where people do tend to send one complete thought per message, it still matters: like maybe I send a message, and then have an extra thought, and send a follow-up message that clarifies my first message. If they are displayed out of order, that will be confusing.

Even if two messages are completely unrelated and completely separate thoughts (honestly this feels like a much less common case than the alternative), messages just should be displayed in the order they were sent, because that's what reflects reality best.
The loudest opinions surface. I wouldn’t take lack of public sympathy to mean that the average American condones this type of behavior.

I am no more sympathetic than I am towards the many people killed each day in the US, but I think the assassination and the subsequent justification of it because he was a small cog in the system is abhorrent. And I hope that the majority of the country feels the same way.
But why did you code it to fetch stars at all? You would have had to go out of your way to do that. If AI has written most of this I suspect people will be less inclined to contribute.
I don't really follow this line of thinking. $200 is nothing—nothing—in the context of the fully loaded cost of an employee for a month (at least, for any sort of employee who would benefit from using an LLM).
> Murder should not be normalized or endorsed. It isn't healthy for a society and doesn't lead to progress.

I guess the American revolution didn't lead to progress then. Or any of the other revolutions, many of which had assassinations. And murder is not being endorsed. Putting an end to it is.
I have to wonder if the Anglo-sphere elderly will struggle with your accent. It’s not too strong and I can understand, but for those that may be slightly hard if hearing and have less neuroplasticity maybe it would be an extra hurdle to using the guide.
The fundamental difference between Anthem and Medicare is that when Medicare cuts reimbursement, that cost isn't passed on to patients, but when Anthem does, it is. Medicare's rates are arguably too low, but low Medicare rates are getting a good deal for the country. Low Anthem rates are passing costs onto consumers and profits onto shareholders.
This is issue polling. There are lots of problems with issue polling, but even when delivered well, the fundamental problem is it's not concrete. Poll people to see if they'd like the option to stop paying for health insurance: you'll get Assad numbers. Now write a ballot initiative for single payer, where customers see the tax price tag, and have to worry about losing their current private health insurance: the numbers fall through the floor. This isn't supposition: it's happened over and over for the past several election cycles. People do not like this idea as a concrete thing.

Definitely. Value of life is estimated and changes all the time across cultures, in wars, life insurances, technological tradeoffs like cars that kill people but we accept the cost…

There’s no universal, intrinsic value to life. It’s us that give it value.
