Does Musk need more government charity? He's made a lot off begging, we can see whether he puts more restrictions on companies that are non-viable without government handouts but considering most of his haven't been, I can't imagine it.
I think you're quite wrong about that, although of course it could be improved.

I'm hoping I haven't become an out of touch tech bro, but I believe if you're able to flash libreboot on your software development machine you're able to afford $50.

_should_ you have to spend more money to support bloated software? No of course not, especially since many users of such software _aren't_ tech bros, but as someone in tech, shelling out a little more money seems like a much more pragmatic solution vs having your computer be slow and/or waiting for the industry to change.
How long ago was this? Ever since war on opioids started, doctors have been extremely closely scrutinized by the DEA. Actually helping and even treating patients in some cases is a good way to risk losing your license and livelihood, and possibly your freedom. (and the War on Opioids didn't just apply to opioids, it caused a massive pendulum swing that affects all "controlled substances" not just pain pills, hence why it would be relevant here)
I studiously avoided making a normative statement that economics should take over this role. Any personal preferences I have here are separate from my beliefs about what I predict to happen. :-)

I ~agree with you about the quality of econ papers. In some cases, I see the quantitative facility of econ papers as being better than similar studies executed by e.g. sociologists. But in some cases, flashy quant skills are used to distract from more fundamental issues.

Assuming my prediction that social science research shifts to econ comes to pass, I think the natural pressure will be to drag econ's present quality bar downward.

I don't like the way he's surrounding himself with tech-bros who are convinced they know more than they actually do because they're rich, but the inauguration donations are par for the course. It happens every time; Biden had nearly a dozen million-dollar donors.

As I said elsewhere: the money doesn't go directly to the candidate, or to their campaign. It has to be spent on the big party.

Since Trump has been convicted of mis-using funds, the FEC really ought to keep a close eye on it. But since the Supreme Court has basically said it's not illegal when the President does it, it won't really matter.

The (tweet of the) letter from SpaceX to the judge says “Incorporating Starbase will streamline the processes required to build the amenities necessary to make the area a world class place to live.”

Elon Musk is the dominant shareholder for SpaceX. My understanding is that with Tesla he always tried to vertically integrate everything, but with X it's all cut to the bare minimum. Hard to say if he'll go for "company controlled" or "free market" for Starbase, Texas but "company controlled" is not an unlikely outcome.

I met some Kiwis through ecosystem restoration work.. I was amazed at the close bonds and good cheer in the large group of mainly European-descent people I met.. on the other hand, they quickly talked about naming themselves, their children and places in the Maori language..

It seemed to be on a collision coarse in some deep way..

There’s absolutely nothing privacy preserving about their system and adding additional ways to extract and process user data doesn’t call for any additional privacy, it weakens it further.

Until they start using nvidia confidential compute and doing end to end encryption from the client to the GPU like we are, it’s just a larp. Sorry, a few words in a privacy policy don’t cut it.
It's a bit more than 2% of the annual budget. How much higher should it go? There are tons of other things that need funding - healthcare (NZ has single-payer), coast guard / military, industrial / agricultural policy, environmental protection, etc.

Denying a claim can not kill someone. Disease and injury killing a person. Claim denial prevents financial support for intervention in resolving a disease or injury. That is not the same thing, and equivocating them is sophistry.
I'm no fan of AT&T. Their contract terms are garbage, and I feel lucky to love somewhere with options. But the article hasn't done a great job of explaining this headline. It makes it sound like these subsidies were designed to encourage AT&T to build out more fiber. But when I follow the links, they're about things like general tax cuts that were followed by layoffs or misrepresenting figures to benefit from a COVID program. Maybe I missed the part where there's something about building more fiber.
It shouldn't even be legal for health insurance providers to deny claims. It's essentially them practicing medicine without a license, because they're making calls about what healthcare a person needs or doesn't need, only a person's doctor(s) should be able to make those decisions.

>"An appeal means coaxing your doctor and staff to spend hours filling out forms and making repeated phone calls to joust with an insurance company employee."

The hospital where I receive my cancer treatments once told me "don't worry, our Denial Team is handling this."

They have a Denial Team. That is to say, insurance companies are imposing cost overheads on providers and patients due to their illegitimate profit boosting tactics. And our government can't be bothered to enforce the ACA's basic requirement to track and report denial rates.

>"No industry malfeasance could ever excuse murder.

"Period."

And yet, that's what it took for our media to start reporting on this? We have some real problems in this country, and a corporate news media asleep at the switch, or at worst complicit, is one of the most serious.

This seems like a terrible idea. Satellite internet doesn't just cost money; having all those satellites in orbit have real non-monetary costs. They have a huge impact on astronomy, and they increase the probability of accidents which cause space debris.
Yes, it's true that for the choice to be a free one you have to actually want it, but making another person the arbiter of that reduces freedom insofar as there will be people who do freely want it and are forced to wait, or who freely want it and are rejected due to being able to prove they want to to the arbiter's satisfaction.
But it's not usual to have an anesthetic for a colonoscopy is it? I've had two without. I was offered a light sedation but then I couldn't have driven home afterwards. It wasn't particularly awful without.

It's it usual to be asleep? I've not really heard of that. Is it a US thing?

The neighborhood I live in has basically three choices for Internet service: Xfinity cable, AT&T DSL, and Starlink. AT&T ran fiber directly past our neighborhood to reach new housing developments adjacent to us. As far as I can tell, they have no plans to to give us access to their GPON service, even though our development has a couple of hundred houses that are, essentially in three rows with wide and easy to access utility easements along the back of every row.

So, in other words, my neighbors and I have two viable choices for Internet service: Xfinity and Starlink.
I would not do that to your own REPL unless you are really serious about it, with good documentation, escaping, etc...

What if there is a file named "~"? What about "~username"? How do you escape/quote it? What if $HOME is not set, or set to something different than the actual user home directory? What about Windows? Also, a lesser known fact is that typing "~." after newline in ssh will force close the connection from the client side and there is nothing the server can do about it, so don't make it part of your workflow.

Good god. I went to get one, and in the pre-screening, the anesthesiologist asked if I wanted to be awake for it. “Doc, I don’t want to be awake, I don’t want to feel a thing, and I don’t want to remember a thing. Put me out.”

Requiring people to be awake is a good way to guarantee they don’t get the procedure. Which mathematically makes it far more likely for the insurer to incur enormous colon cancer treatment expenses, erasing their profiteering.
"A Philosophy of Software Design" seems really good.
i'm not sure if it's a US thing but i think especially if they're going to take biopsies you're put under twilight, which is one step below general - i don't remember anything about any of the ones i've had, and wake up later in a recovery room

But, as you mentioned, you only need a few. The problem is that universities have been expanded from something only for the elite to something for half the population, but they have replicated the structure they had back when they were for the elite. So now we end up with 20x the number of these scholars that we actually need.

My solution to this mess:

- Health "Insurance" middleman mafia should not be the default b/w me and my doctor
- Health Insurance should only exisit for Catastrophic events (big surgery, cancer etc)
- Get rid of the regular Premiums, CoPays, Deductible, CoInsurnace, In network/Out network Bullshit.
- For catastrophic events, we pay a premium (much smaller than now)
- All hospitals and Doctors must offer an advertised/displayed Cash Price. No exceptions. Fine heavily if they hide
- Let me pay cash for a regular doc visit.
- Govt can subsidize for poor people (exdtension to medicare etc ??)

That's it. Problem Solved. This will remove so much BS, middleman stuff, overhead and with a competitive market, prices will drop significantly. Doctors will be happy not dealing with Insurance for everything.

Tell me why I am wrong.
There are direct measures: someone needs a transplant or something of that nature, refusal is effectively shortening their life and some aggressive prosecutors might craft a case. There are less direct things, I expect a lot of them. say people dealing with long recoveries from things, there are good days and bad days and bouts of depression aren’t uncommon; could antidepressants prevent depression on related suicides? That’s an entire can of worms, people have fallen into depression because they’ve become addicted and can’t kick it, what if it was medical pain killers you’re addicted to? Then suppose some company spent half the funds on ED pills and breast augmentation and some more medically things were denied, you can spin that both ways as they might be doing what the bulk of their customers want. That one is interesting, you could break a bone and have surgical reconstruction and hopefully get a full recovery or maybe you just set it and naturally heal and maybe it’s not 100% fixed, only 85%, there is a substantial cost difference there…

For profit medicine and for profit health insurance is just riddled with moral hazard.
> Is the grinder stepless? Based on the description it appears it is. This is a deal breaker for me.

From what I understand stepless is pretty common on espresso grinders. Can I ask why it would be a deal breaker?
Of course! But maybe …
Something very related I've been trying to find is a tool to create my own timelines. When I read about history, I always struggle to remember the order of events, or put them in historical context (eg who was the english monarch who sent troops to Ireland?). I'm often off by hundreds of years on when an event happened because I don't have a good mental model.

I'd love a tool that lets me create my own timeline. Ideally, what I'd want is:

- An arrow of time, graduated by year
- Ability to create events (eg invention of TV) and periods (eg rule of Elisabeth I)
- Ability to put events and periods in themed swimlanes (eg ireland-related stuff, foreign affairs, religion...)
- A lot of freedom: add arbitrary boxes, notes, nested/collapsable stuff...

Basically diagrams.net with a built-in timeline and first-class concepts of event, period and swimlanes would be great.

Does anything like that exist?

This is because the US is not one homogenous system of thought, but rather a mosaic of people with differing views. (This goes for any other country or population for that matter.)

A more constructive observation would be to consider the overlap in groups of people who (1) hold that murder is indefensible in any case, and (2) hold that death sentences are appropriate for crimes. While not sharing that view myself, I could think of a few factors that may lead others to espouse it, such as:

- an implicit trust in authority and deterrents (follow rule, "or else");

- feeling of being mostly immune to errors in the justice system ("this would never happen to me");

- a propensity to desire revenge but only when it pertains to "others" ("I'm a good person, we must punish the bad people")...
Maybe our institutions need to stop pooping in the tub

This is no surprise and is not new. I live in a rural area and long, long ago gave up any hope of the AT&T DSL ever being better then 3mbps. I switched to LTE in 2015 and have not looked back. Since then I have been through a few different providers, but have been generally content with T-Mobile Home Internet for the last few years.

Starlink is tempting, but its $165/month versus the $50/month I pay to T-Mobile.

If anyone thinks AT&T or any service provider is going to run fiber to these communities, you are dreaming. It makes dramatically more profit for them to sell LTE/5G home internet options, even if it is not optimal for then end user.
Are PRNG the letters on an automatic transmission stick?
I've done a colonoscopy without anesthesia before... it was a non-event. This is pretty common from what I understand elsewhere in the world. Americans are just super uncomfortable with their bodies so I guess we prefer being put under?

I’d say that not equivocating them is sophistry. In both cases, someone takes a deliberate action that they know will result in an innocent person’s death. I fail to see why the exact mechanism should be so important.
I'm not a medical doctor, nor a clinician that does colonoscopies, so I have no idea. All I know is that the clinic suggested by my primary care physician set everything up and UHC denied it 10 days prior to the procedure, leaving me almost no time to work through any sort of processes to effectively change their decision--if it's even possible.

Without any real evidence except a hunch, I think it's because I've already met my deductible for the year and they don't want to pay for the entire thing and they'll do anything they can to avoid having it happen this year and hope I just go away or do it in another year when I haven't hit my deductible.

> the reason I had to call today was as Kafkaesque as you can imagine: when changing the name on the electricity contract to me, EDP signed me up to their healthcare plan (who knew an electricity provider had healthcare?), they also signed me up to pet insurance (I don't have a pet), and a EUR 600 on-call technician per year (I also don't need that), when all I asked was to change my name on the contract

I am pretty sure that variants of this algorithm have been used many decades before Linux and before the coining of the name "seq lock", which is not a good name for it.

It is not needed only on multiprocessors, but it is needed also even when there is a single writer and a single reader, both running on the same CPU core, e.g. when some data is updated by an interrupt service routine or by a signal handler and the main program must also access that data.

However, before the fashion of implementing weakly-ordered memory accesses, which has spread mostly after 1990, nobody has paid much attention to the ordering requirements for its stores and loads, because in ancient times in all existing computers those ordering requirements were satisfied implicitly by all stores and loads.

Thanks for pointing to the paper written by Hans Boehm, SciHub has it.
I think we are at the point where Patreon & podcasts can keep the best researchers self-funded and working on these niche subjects full time, creating content that is actually consumed rather than stored as dense, esoteric, unintelligible nonsense locked into pay-for academic journals.

They should make anyone who denies anesthesia for a colonoscopy drink that awful orange flavored drink you take the night before. This is just like... basic care.
I disagree. There's a very large espresso market for those who want a cheaper device that doesn't have the complications of a boiler. I have a flair espresso machine myself.

Adding a boiler I'd guess would double the price, so I think it's a good decision to leave off.

I'm an anesthesiologist. What they denied was paying me to do it. You can still get "moderate sedation" from a nurse - a benzodiazepine and opioid.

Patients strongly prefer having what amounts to a general anesthetic; your chances of recalling anything are low either way, but propofol results in a much faster recovery to full consciousness afterward.

Go gain 100 pounds and develop sleep apnea. Then they'll approve it.
I'm somewhat familiar with fp-ts, and I think lfi is pretty different.

fp-ts seems more focused on "pure" functional programming in the style of languages like Haskell. It's much more opinionated on how you should write your code, including the data structures you should use. Plus, it's not really concerned with concurrency in the way that lfi is.

I think lfi is a lot less invasive/opinionated on how you write your code.
> You might be right, but it doesn't seem correct to extrapolate that Zig's error return type is slow just because C++'s is. If Zig was designed with this kind of error handling from the start, it may well have optimized for it.

It seems pretty correct to me? It's just based on first principles. Returning a value + error is strictly more work than returning just a value, and compilers can't solve the halting problem to optimize away arbitrary amounts of extra work. Ergo, performance hit.
That's why I'm upgrading myself off of AT&T and on to a modern provider.
