US healthcare problem is cost disease starting around 50 years ago.

You just can't beat O(2) function with linear policies. You must make it cost less - but making it costing less means everyone in the healthcare is making less. So there will be massive resistance to any kind of change. You could achieve slightly more healthcare for money spent, but you can't meaningfully reduce costs.
It actually seems like they're spotlighting their execs and that they have been doing things that would make them a target.
This reads like the poison pill (mis)characterization of the original version of ACA that killed it. Most of the ideas are good, but you've snuck in a few obvious non-starters.

It's clear that there needs to be some degree of nationalization, though. Middlemen are literally killing us (and now, in a shift that might actually induce a change, getting killed).

How is it known or tested to verify that "animals don't choose compassion over selfishness, they merely make an instinctive survival cost-benefit analysis"?

I'm not disputing it, but I've never understood how we can say definitively that animals are doing the same things we do, but they are doing it out of instinct.

"Chemical attack" was a lie, BTW. That came out in OPCW report shortly thereafter. You do need to read up on it. Same as "Iraqi WMDs" or "babies on bayonets" etc, a casus belli to give another few hundred billion to US MIC. But even if we assume that it wasn't, for the sake of argument, those "chemical weapons", if they ever existed, are in the hands of literal ISIS now.
I nerd sniped myself with x86 Message Signaled Interrupts format
I need your help! There seems to be some historical use of bit 11 of MSI data to be defined as "Delivery Mode" just a copy of bit 2 of MSI address, which is documented for "Delivery Mode" in the Intel SDM. Why there is a copy in message data and what for? I don't know. The earliest document I could find which mentions that is ICH2-M datasheet 290687-002 see page 5-58 and 5-59. I think this seems to be documented up to ICH10. Maybe it is connected to Itanium somehow (but it does not support logical delivery?!) Sometimes there is a note that chipset clears that bit when sent to CPU. Seems like Linux kernel in x86 msi.h has "dest_mode_logical" fields for both address/data fields, but never uses that. I think I seen Windows to set it, when examining MSI data/address pairs. Oh and there is a lot of fun with RH bit and DM bit combinations which SDM is contradicting to itself - likely also due to the Itanium compatibility. Lastly, on AMD the format of MSI/address/data is undocumented, but funnily for NMI encoding, you have to use hypertransport encoding and not intel encoding to trigger NMI on AMDs. This rabbit hole is very deep! Where to document it once we know everything?

I'm sorry but prayers aren't valid tender and cannot be exchanged for tangible necessities like food and shelter, it's almost 2025, we should be well past this.

* Prayers

Now I want you to go to the grocery store and try to buy a loaf of bread with prayers, use the really good juicy ones!

Okay next, I want you to then repeat the same experiment but instead of prayers, use dollars.

I don’t know what the solution to that is. I think you’d still get a few votes. I think it’s unlikely for library authors to pass some of their donations down to the libraries they depend on.

Foundations should probably be doing some of this work. Maybe government as well. National Science Foundation did it for a bit, partly because of Al Gore, but that is also how we ended up with the current model of everything being free either until it isn’t, or until you become the produce (advertising, user tracking).
And it is reflected in numbers. The fertility rate has a non-monotonous relationship with income. It is the middle-income fertility that plummets.

Environment variables are key/value pairs that are passed from parent process to child process when the child is first created. A convention has also arisen where these can be put into environment files so the overarching system (for example, docker) can load them from a consistent place (without having to add them to your shell and risk leakage across projects) and then pass them down to child processes in typical environment variable fashion.

Also there are no sections like there are in ini files.

Are you contradicting my extreme example, or all "non-ASCII" characters? I also cannot write something as ordinary as "ç", no more than I can write Chinese character for water.

"ç" is a letter. As is "å". The latter is in no way whatsoever related to "a".

Certainly there are people with a "ò" in their name, who will tell you that if you spell it "o" then "that's not my name".

Your reference to RFC8264 also makes another good point. 38 pages of best practices, plus thousands of pages pulled in from references. Not exactly a case for saying it's feasible for all software to handle this correctly.

I did a quick scan of RFC8264, and could not tell if "ç", "å", or "习" are "letters". Yes, that's due to not really trying, since "all I have to do" is read thousands of pages on unicode definitions.

What exactly are you trying to say is already established, under the assumption that Unicode already defines identifiers? 7-bit ASCII letters & numbers mostly, or a broader definition of letters? In any case I don't think people are making "outdated" comments, but that they are disagreeing, possibly unicode specs be damned.

E.g. see the article itself, where people say that anything that isn't colon or NUL byte should be allowed.

> This is enough to write any user name, without allowing "smiley snowman Chinese sign for water"

But not to have the username "习近平", right? Or am I misinterpreting by getting lost in references to references in unicode specs?
It's worth noting that Ted Nelson's visionary Xanadu project had actually addressed this issue decades ago. In the original design of Project Xanadu, rule 9 states "Every document can contain a royalty mechanism at any desired degree of granularity to ensure payment on any portion accessed, including virtual copies ('transclusions') of all or part of the document." This suggests a foresighted approach to content monetisation which the modern web, in many ways an unfinished hypertext prototype, still lacks. Nelson's idea was to embed financial transactions directly into the fabric of document interchange, an integration not yet realised in today's digital content landscape.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Xanadu#Original_17_rul...
It would add at least a JSR (6 cycles) and a RTS instruction (6 cycles). Likely more if you wanted a user-level to os-level transition there.

On top of that, you’d need to define an ABI to specify what to write where.

That means using registers, which aren’t plentiful (I love understatements) on a 6502, the stack (slightly less “not plentiful”, but pushing a single byte takes 3 cycles, if you happen to have it in a register, and popping it back 4 cycles) or memory (that’s what https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SWEET16 sort-of did for a software ABI, and could be made to work _if_ you added extra hardware. For example, on a Z80 you could have had a graphics buffer addressable by I/O ports (write row number to one port, column number to another, then write character to a third port)

I don't think that's always true. I was stuck in a TSA line once that hadn't moved for about 30 mins and I was stopped right next to a security officer. He told me he had to pick someone as the line wasn't moving.

When he took me in his room he said "You can have an x-ray, or the other search" by which he was insinuating needing gloves. I took the x-ray and he said "Well, if it's any consolation for the radiation I'm putting you on the other side of that security line, which would have been about another two hours from the looks of it." o_O
There’s no slot cycling logic. When a k,v pair at some index is deleted, and a different k,v pair has a matching hash, there’s a (small?) penalty in the hm_get logic that will eventually the right k,v pair.

I need a bit more clarification on your first question. There should be no mutation of the underlying map when it grows — we’re just allocating more room for entries and adjusting the old map’s item “ownership” — moving pointers->items around.
To paraphrase the Joker: when tens of thousands of people die because their health insurance denies needed care, nobody panics. But kill one little insurance CEO and everyone loses their mind.

I’m personally much more interested in why people are so uncaring about a bad system that kills a ton of innocent people, than in why people don’t care about the murder of someone who got wealthy making it happens.

I think another problem with micropayments is competing with free is hard. Say you have the best lightning paywall with an amazing UX where it's super easy and automatic to pay a creator a few sats. Most people assume the problem is user's don't want to pay but it's actually publishers who won't put up micropayments on their content. Here's why: for a big publisher, adding a lightning paywall is a big risk which may lose them their audience. For small publisher's, they don't care if 10 people send 10 sats, all they care about is becoming a big publisher
I grew up with cassettes, CDs, and MiniDisc (and floppy discs and using a file splitter to spread large files over multiple disks... risky business!) I never want to go back to that because the impact on the environment is just too high. All that plastic which, eventually, will end up on a landfill.

As much as I hate the fact a publisher can pull music from Apple Music in an instant, it's rare and the benefit is instant streaming with little impact on the environment. No impact if I've already got the track downloaded.

Very interesting topic but the article strikes me as being blogspam adjacent.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Green_Wall_(China) cites https://www.yahoo.com/news/china-completes-3-000-km-11254926... which is one of many press articles that only cites (but does not link) state media.

The Economist has paywalled writeup https://www.economist.com/china/2024/12/05/will-chinas-green... that is a bit skeptical of the project's impact (unlinked claims at least half due to increased rain, not human efforts) and sustainability (also unlinked, but I'd guess correct, it seems somewhat similar projects such as the great plains shelterbelt in the US decline unless maintained).

Surely there must be an afforestation/macro ecological engineering geek out there who has blogged on this in depth, would love to read it!
Mise just works and takes maybe 1-2 minutes to explain and have a tool running on a team members machine in my experience.

"Because the population of people that would actually use that functionality rounds to approximately 0."

i recently tried one of those cashierless amazon stores. it was an odd jolt, this feeling to be trusted, by default. It was vaguely reminiscent off one in my childhood, when, after my parents had sent me on an errand to the local grocer, I'd forgotten the money and the clerk/owner let me just walk out since they knew me. Presumably they and my mom would take care of the balance later.

I live now in a city where small exchanges are based on a default of of mistrust (e.g. locking up the tide-pods behind a glass case - it's not a meme). The only super market near (not even _in_) my food desert started random bag checks.

The modern police state requires surveillance technology, but abusive authority has flourished in any technological environment. the mafia had no problem to terrorize entire neighborhoods into omerta for example, without high technology. i'm sure there's other examples.

i don't know the right answer, but considering the extent to which anti-social and criminal attitudes are seemingly allowed to fester, while everybody else is expected to relinquish their dignity, essentially _anonymize_ themselves, it makes me less and less have a kneejerk response to the expansion of technologically supported individualization.
It alway boils down to the fact that egotistical people have problems with people that care about others and their environment. It makes them feel insecure. And then they either lash out or proudly complain that they really, really don’t care about others.

I’ll bite. Why do you think it’s an affront to their sovereignty? It’s entirely voluntary and it’s something the Dublin airport (and the dozens of other airports in Canada) actively seek out to get direct access to the domestic side in the US.

The US does not force any airports into these arrangements.

1NF (depending on the definition) has a few subtleties that make it either impossible to avoid in any relational database or almost impossible to enforce!

By impossible to avoid, I mean the basic rectangular shape of a table.

By impossible to enforce, I mean the avoidance of duplicates (without indexes) and NULLs.
