I was also of that opinion for a while, but took the decision to move all things to a dedicated backup service instead. The lock-in with onedrive is palpable. So I swallowed the pill, downloaded all our files (very slowly...) and backed them up properly instead, with a service that will send me a hard drive with my files upon request.
Polls have not proven the most reliable in recent times. I can tell some folks avoid him as a topic, but I've yet to see anyone I know in any socioeconomic class or age group seemingly do anything besides avoid acknowledging him, express support, or express support with some kind of caveat.
This is blackmail - it’s wrong. It’s fairly obvious you can’t trust them, at the very least ask a lawyer.
You are not replying to their point. It was not that murder was non-violent, it was that statistical violence is indeed violence. Even if you hold a “denied and go die bankrupt” stamp and not a gun.
A lot of folks who are sympathetic to his actions publicly go “oh no murder is bad” while privately being sympathetic.

I’m unsure how that shows with polling, tbh, but it certainly shows up in the discourse.

You do understand several countries have solved this, right? Several "third world" countries even. This business argument reeks of the inability to understand how shitty healthcare has been planned and executed in this country.

He was not the CEO of United HealthCare this guy is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Witty . He was a CEO of one of it's divisions.

Do you know someone personally that Brian Thompson killed or you are just jumping on a bandwagon wanting socialistic healthcare for all Americans. That may be a good thing but get ready to pay 50% to 60% of wages to the govt and Americans as a society are tax averse compared to Europeans who are used to paying high taxes. Its not an easy change for Americans to embrace and of course healthcare is expensive but so is becoming a doctor and the student loan debt that comes with it. Doctors and medical professional definitely need to be paid these high salaries. It is a very complex issue but cheering a murderer on is a break down of society.
This quote looks like it could have been written by Alberto Caeiro, right before he would turn around and apologize for putting too much thingness into things, less they become less thingy in the eyes of us over-thingers.
My intent was merely to point out that it is a commonly held belief, because it seemed like you were not aware. I didn't want to champion that belief.

But since you've invited me to name the moral error, sure. Accepting a fiduciary responsibility to chase after profits in a context where that very clearly means finding ways to deny people access to healthcare is a moral error. If you can't ethically do a job you shouldn't take that job. At best you're lying to shareholders, at worst you're killing people. The only ethical path is to go find a different job.

I wish I understood how mathematicians conceptualize the notion of 'right' and 'wrong' axioms in light of Gödel. I would've thought that the incompleteness theorems would be taken as evidence against Platonism, but clearly this didn't happen. What do people think is the source of 'ground truth'? Is it more than aesthetic appeal? Are there any articles or books that convey it?

I've talked to a friend with a doctorate in algebraic geometry about this several times, but all I've really gotten out of her is that if I studied a lot more math, I would gradually get the same sense.

(For reference, I have about as much mathematics background as a US student who minored in maths.)
Then it shouldn't be a problem to provide proof or at the very least a link to someone else providing proof.
Administrators reflexively lie. They are committed to preserving whatever institution employs them, not to any objective standard of truth or behavior. I have lost count of how many times I have highlighted such behavior over the alst decade.
Maybe he just bought into the AI hype as so many other business leaders are. Any kind of fraud prevention method is going to have false positives and associated costs, and in health insurance it can cost lives. But not handling fraud also costs lives by making insurance more expensive. If people just trying to do their best to manage a business and its customers are murdered over honest mistakes then nobody is going to want to run such a system. The fact it's an insurance company is not relevant. A government-run system could involve the same kind of mistakes.

Doctors themselves make a lot of potentially questionable choices that may be seen as costing lives. We have a fairly high bar for proving malpractice because any given patient could choose to blame the doctor personally. A business guy who is not egregiously messing things up on purpose or through gross negligence deserves some benefit of the doubt as well.
> to pad the bottom line

I've never understood people who say this, insurance companies' profit margin is set by law and they can't change it.

And reduction in claims paid just goes into lower premiums. And more claims paid equals higher premiums. In no case does their profit change.
Ah yes, let's murder people we feel (without even any concretes to support this) are not morally pure, what a perfect idea. Which other CEOs do you think it would be justified to murder? Or are there any that are morally pure enough to you that they can live?

Are you willfully ignorant, or arguing in bad faith?

Private health insurance exists as a pure "middle man", and hence 100% of their profits are at the cost of less health care being delivered by the actual supplier of medical help. Hint: Not them.

United Healthcare was notorious for having the highest refusal rate, about one third of all claims: https://www.forbes.com/sites/amyfeldman/2024/12/05/unitedhea...

That's insane.

Imagine if a car insurance company simply refused to pay for a third of all accident claims!

"I see that you car was totalled, but you can clearly see a scratch in a previous social media post you made, so that's a pre-existing condition, and based on that we're required to reject your insurance claim. Have a nice day!"

PS: The USA is the only western country with this kind of madness going on. Whatever your follow-up argument will be, just consider that nobody else in the modern, developed world is so stupid as to simply give a bunch of billionaires 15% of all money expended on medical services.
I think there is innovation, but there's more than innovation required to be a good language. If a innovative feature is the cornerstone of a language, it frequently means that the language neglects pragmatic coding features that while not particularly special contribute to the language being nice to use.

I feel like in the next few years in languages will be things like Rust descendants where people with experience in using Rust want to keep what works for them but scales back some of the rigidity in favour of pragmatism.

It's also with noting that there are existing languages that are also changing over time. Freepascal has developed a lot of features over the years that make it fairly distant from original Pascal. More recent languages like Haxe are still developing into their final form. TypeScript has gone from a language that provided a tangible solution to an existing problem to a quagmire of features that I'd rather not have.

Denial rate went from 10% to 22% between 2020 to 2022. Furrher, the CEO has said he saw this as good for business, and seemed to imply it’d be a good thing to deny more.
this is the same in sports in general. In almost every country, players from certain sports earn many times more what players in other sports make. I don't think there's any "fix" for this -- some sports will always be more popular than others, and those who play those particular sports will have more financial opportunities.

No, violence is violence only when it's physical and direct. For example, mental violence doesn't exist. Verbal abuse does not exist. And in this case, United Healthcare had committed no sin at all, because due to being a non-physical entity incapable of physically interacting with the world, it didn't physically hurt anyone. Therefore it committed no violence. QED.
There has been worse, such as the affluenza case. I don't think peons get away with running over a bunch of people and then claiming they didnt know better because they grew up too rich.
Maybe they don't literally "cheer."

But if their basic business model is to collect premiums while denying coverage as much as possible (which evidence suggests is the case), that's basically murdering and bankrupting people for money.

And it's hard to say it's not the case when you're denying claims at 2x the industry norm.
> UnitedHealthcare in particular denied coverage for post-acute care, or services and support needed after a hospitalization. In 2019, the insurance provider’s initial denial rate for post-acute care prior authorization requests was 8.7%; by 2022, it had increased to 22.7%.

Buck stop with him; between 2021 and 2022 he did that. Being the CEO and all.

Guilt-tripping? We've got reasoning abilities and in the main can act on our decisions. Nobody guilt-trips any sentient being since they can't be guilty if under duress. If after all this we still do whatever it is we do that we conclude is reprehensible, we should not blame someone else for reminding us of the logic we ignored.
I don’t believe he was law-abiding: I think the United Healthcare CEO was unindicted for fraud, manslaughter, and RICO crimes of a national scale.

Would it make sense to allow this? The models as you said make it a non viable buisness and where that gap exists scams move in, which the routinely have to be bailed out by the public.
Interesting. I have a similar problem that I haven't had any obligations to follow the "normal people schedule" ever since I graduated the university (and even then, I got like 4 hours of sleep and slept on the subway on my way there and felt like a zombie for a few hours in the morning anyway). I'm constantly out of sync with the rest of the society and this sometimes gets rather frustrating, but I can't seem to do much about it. I can try to strong-arm myself into it but that only works for so long, my schedule still slips eventually. The longest I was able to maintain a "normal person schedule" was around 2 months. Not sure at this point whether this is a blessing or a curse.

So, I might actually try this.

> This case is such an interesting crossroads. He has such insane support ... But what he did was objectively what we consider to be bad… in our society, vigilante justice (especially against nonviolent offenders) is considered to be wrong.

It's worth noting that in our society lots of other things are also considered to be wrong, things which are done openly every day by some of the richest and most powerful people and organizations in the country.

That's why he has "insane support": the system is broken and has proven itself incapable of policing that other bad behavior.

The thing here is, the non-peon has other means to get the same result, just caring about if he did it or not does not make the situation less worse - same intention, same severity.

Not a conspiracy-theory fan or anything but this basic power distribution is obviously skewed for people who are rich(er) and that's a fact.
>otherwise Batman (Superman, Spider-Man) wouldn’t be so popular.

Read the article. Brian Thompson was a white collar crook, not a law abiding citizen.
Americans don't think this though. Not in electorally significant numbers.

Like consider: if this was as popular as people think, then it should be straightforward to run a political campaign on this basis.

Instead it's barely not a vote loser.
The two most usefull things I got were

* Generic mini PC from amazon, that basically just runs docker containers. Very usefull to have as I use a windows pc mainly (cad and gaming), and while WSL2 works for dev, I want to have running services, and this thing works pretty well.

* Some Zwave stuff, which uses the above with a Zwave usb antenna, and HomeAssistant. Arose from a need to never forget to close the garage door, but I have been doing more complex stuff with optical and motion sensors.

* USB audio interface (focusrite), XLR Mic, and USB switch for keyboard mouse and audio interface. I can now wear super light headhphones (Seinheiser) instead of a bulky headset, and can seamlessly switch from controlling my work laptop to my main desktop, with correct audio output, never having issues with bluetooth or other connectivity.

* I also pay about $200 every 2 months to have my house cleaned. Well worth the cost for em.
As are we all - once the demographic decline begins, there appears to be no stopping it. Perhaps only Ceaucescu Romania managed to reverse demographic decline? And he did it by banning contraception, never mind abortion, leading to the notorious orphan crisis in '80's and 90's.

We probably can't do this w/o a full spectrum refactor of society - what work is, how to do status competition, how do we do assortive mating - all has to change, or revert to pre-industrial modes
I can believe it to some degree. Believing that what the killer did is wrong, and being unsympathetic to Brian Thompson's death isn't mutually exclusive.
There is absolutely no way to run an insurance scheme without denying some people coverage. No system anywhere in the world, public or private, accepts every single claim. You must deny some claims, there's no way around it. This means that according to you, there's no ethical way to run health insurance system. I disagree, I think we need insurance to exist, and given that someone needs to run insurance, I don't think that taking such a job is inherently a moral error.
> (...) pro-murder content.

This is not pro-murder content. This is pro-access to life-saving healthcare content, whose absence causes death and extreme despair.

For context, I have zero dependents, dropped out of medical school pre-ACA, and do not carry health insurance (USA, boo!).
> There is very little that can be done in these situations.

Ah yes, same response to school shootings; "No way to solve this, says the only country where this happens every year".

There's nothing that special about California that makes it different from many other places around the world with densely populated forested areas that do not get insane wildfires almost every single year.
Strange rationale. By that logic you are also a prolific mass murderer as you have not paid physicians to provide medical care to patients. Indirectly you have killed, well, everyone because you didn’t pay infinite money to provide unbounded medical care for every person who has died.
Applying moral and ethical justifications to an event that is fundamentally caused by an ever-widening social rift is pointless.

It doesn't matter if he's right or wrong or justified or evil or a saint. This happened because tensions among non-filthy-rich and filthy-rich people are increasing to a point of non return.

It's a consequence. An effect.
If we actually lived in a "just" system, when people are executed for murdering a single individual, which many people have been, we would certainly execute people for things like, say, losing billions of dollars in pensions for the elderly with greedy mathematical trickery.

In a just world, hundreds would have been executed for the financial crimes of 2008.

"Justice" only exists when there's threat of punishment. It isn't enough to have the moral high ground; you have to have the might and the will to enforce the moral ground on others.

Humanity will always live under systems of "oppression", but it's what that oppression looks like that matters, because there'll always be someone who takes advantage of a system's goodwill, and that must be punished swiftly and brutally, to deter anyone from abusing the system's goodwill.

Batman is quite famous for non lethal vigilante justice. If anything Batman's position is antithetical to Luigi's.
> moral error,

The moral error is by refining and endorsing a company policy that went out of it's way to cheat people out of their due insurance, killing significant amounts of people as a result and ensuring suffering for even more.

Our legal system can't really address this, not until the electoral college gets disbarred or red state voters realize rejecting socialized health care hurts more than it helps.

Until that happens. things are going to get worse and people are going to get frustrated and start acting out. It's what happens when you have such a broken system.

Talking about "we don't do that in society" is ignoring the problem at it's core. You can't expect people to just obey the rules and respect law and order when it clearly isn't working for them or people they care about.
And what's the crime here? What's the moral error? Can you elucidate? I hope you're not trying to argue that insurance should not be allowed to ever deny claims?
Just a guess, but I think if we found a way to put together a list, perhaps by voting or something, 99% of CEOs would be fine. And if the fear of being found to be in that remaining 1% is an effective deterrent against bad behavior, well maybe we ought to be making such lists.
> Polling numbers (actual gauge of public sentiment)

Polls have never been faithful of actual public sentiment on any political subject since the end of times. People will not give their true opinions in polls on any subject that could be perceived as complex. Also it is actually very hard to have a good representation of the entire population of your country.

Just take the crosstabs of the survey you linked: about the 2024 election vote, in this survey, 70% of people polled are negative toward trump. The 2024 election results gave almost 50% of the popular vote to trump.

My point is only that this poll do not bring any valuable information here, just like any poll. The public sentiment toward Luigi Mangione seems favorable in appearance, but twitter is not representative of the US population either. So, who knows?
Yeah, I think someone opened a similar issue on GitHub: https://github.com/browserbase/stagehand/issues/389
