Your seem to be under the misapprehension the problem is insurers charging usurious prices. The reality is Paul in the forest got used to paying whatever 5kpa to insure against a 100 year fire, not 50kpa to insure against a 10 year fire.

It sounds like a lot, but if the risk is actually that high then the prices will be too. Houses aren't cheap. Insurance is a very competitive market, it's easy to comparison shop. The root problem is the high risk, not "unfair" private profit.

Maybe this is well know and this is about auto insurance but mine just went up $50 a month because of a national database about each of our cars ... the tiniest details are recorded into it and all auto insurance companies then use to jack up your current rate. If you try to go elsewhere they point to oh you used your Allstate towing benefit a lot so it's $200 a month vs. $140 (cant get a deal from others). Jiffy Lube enters the frequency of your oil changes and the amount of miles in this database too. If you start a new temp job that's further away then usual and start to have more oil changes your insurance could / will go up cause they see you are driving more then you were. I understand entering my car's accident record into this database but I was surprised the tiniest details are entered into this database and Allstate & Jiffy Lube say they do not sell this data they just enter it into this national database...
Insurance is such a crutch for some people, but it shouldn't be.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing whether you have insurance or not.

In my opinion, the amount of resources spent on buying insurance would, in almost every case, be better spent on prevention rather than after the fact mitigation.
> Why does State Farm in particular have a moral obligation to insure you against fire if it’s not profitable for them to do so?

They don't, but they have the courtesy of giving myself and thousands of others a proper heads up. Perhaps any heads up? They quite literally just dropped me, no email, no letter, no nothing. This type of thing should be given 3 months minimum.

Alright, you just lost me, not even bothering to read the rest of your post. To answer your utterly moronic question: because they aren't in the business of insurance. I award you no points, and may god have mercy on your soul.

Because from a moral standpoint most people agree that we shouldn't allow people to go without treatment, regardless of their poor choices. From a national standpoint it also doesn't make sense to allow people to become cripples for lack of money, reducing their economic value.

Injuries also hurt, so it's not like people don't have other disincentives to avoid injury aside from the price. This isn't the case in other areas, where it's purely a monetary penalty and thus removing that penalty results in way more of that thing taking place.

They don’t give a shit about privacy directly but GM was egregious in collecting this data

- confusing consumers

- sneakily signing up consumers to “smart driver” as part of onstar

- data brokers subsequently building profiles on users and selling this data to _insurance companies_

- consumers later finding out their insurance doesn’t get renewed because of this secret driver profile that was built without their explicit consent

If GM followed the rules by disclosing this directly, allowing consumers to opt out. They probably wouldn’t be in this embarrassing position.

I'm saying that running a government is a lot like running a ship:

You can't just let the currents and tidal forces ("the invisible hand") run the show unconditionally because even though they can propel you great distances at very low cost, they'll eventually throw you upon the reefs.

And you can't just let the rowers and tillers (legislators & executive) run the show unconditionally because they'll end up exhausting themselves with little to show for it as they fight against the winds and currents when they should cooperate.

It's a balancing act that requires some science, some experience, some luck, and a steady hand - and a capable and honorable captain and crew who believe in the mission.
It's that "in almost every case" that's the problem. The whole point of insurance is to cover that case where it does happen, irrespective of how unlikely it is.

Case in point, my partner was diagnosed with a very, very, very rare terminal cancer at 32. Insurance turned out to be a great investment for us.
This whole “Horse riding an astronaut” was a bit dumb in the first place, because AFAIK CLIP (the text encoder used in first-generation diffusion models) doesn't really distinguish the two in the first place. (So fundamentally that Marcus guy was right, the tech employed was fundamentally unable to do what he asked of to do)

> The irony is it is the human, not the generator, that got confused about the purposefully out of sample horse riding an astronaut prompt, and changed it to astronaut riding a horse.

You're mixing things up: "astronaut ridding a horse" was used by OpenAI their Dall-E 2 announcement blog post, ”horse ridding an astronaut" only came after, and had a much more niche audience anyway, so it's absolutely not an instance of “humans got caught by an out of sample instance and misremembered”.
You do not even need to enter a password.

Use a randomly generated key. Retrieve it from an USB drive at boot (it does it automagically), which contains everything, giving you full plausible deniability without it. It means literally everything you need to boot up is on the USB drive, and if you so want it, you can use 2 separate USB drives.

This is for computers you have physical access to, of course. You will need to carry the USB disk if it is a laptop, but you choose: you want to enter a password (which by itself gives you no plausible deniability BTW), or you want plausible deniability and/or you don't want to enter a password. And while we are at it, laptops (and even desktops) today have SSD, and encryption and plausible deniability is different for an SSD, but again, you choose. Right tool for the job.

1. Even if you don't want to always use the latest dependencies, having the capability in reserve is important. When some emergency need pops up (e.g. massive security issue) you don't want to be trapped by a wall of your own making. So you'll at least need a pattern of prototyping and testing builds with newer dependencies, even if the builds aren't released. (Discover how to make your code forward-compatible before it becomes an emergency.)

2. As a general rule, newer means fewer security vulnerabilities, particularly if the project is careful about introducing new features versus bug-fixes. Not always, and maybe you don't want super-bleeding edge releases, but mostly.

3. I've worked in some areas with bureaucratic or governmental impediments, where you want to avoid things that might trigger re-testing or re-certification. That's a reason not to upgrade much, but it does mean you need to actually read the changelogs etc. and have some sort of process for noticing when something is important enough.
Okay. not knowing anything about this film, not ever hearing or seeing it, I just clicked on that diner scene and holy f*ck, that was terrifying. and thank you :)
State Farm notified its customers in August of its non-renewal (not cancelling) of policies, plenty of time for homeowners to get new policies or fall back to the state fund.

And what is fire insurance? Is that something unique to CA?

What's the thinking here? The bank is loaning you money and they want to ensure you buy a particular product.

They're the ones with the money. They can easily guarantee that you buy the product they want. All they need to do is give you less money, buy the product themselves, and give it to you.
I agree humans as individuals regadless where they came from or when they lived have always been equally precious in potential, and all traditions are valuable, but it’s simply false narrative to claim modern technology & capital would not make a difference.

My point was it’s false narrative to compare any historical society to a modern industrial one.

Printing press, latin alphabet and market economy were suberb for knowledge transfer. There was no historically comparable system to commodotize and scale literacy.

It’s false narrative to claim european developments were not unique and transformative. That’s just how the history goes. Literacy, capital, binding contract law and science created a heady mix that created a system that now is global standard how societies try to operate.

Large parts of the system came from other parts of the world. The point is not where this happened or by whom, but the point is it happened.

Modern technological societies are able to adapt in unprecedented scale. Regardless of culture or ethnicity.

It would be pretty weird to think this would be a narrative of european supremacy - cultural, racial or otherwise. Europe was an inconsequential periphery and it’s once again an iconsequential periphery.
A weak password is always better than no password. It's like using a cheap lock on your door or not locking it. Practically, if a thief wants to get through he'll get through but your insurance and sentencing will look different.
>just making the price up based on what you think I can pay

It's called supply and demand, and it's the way things have been priced since the dawn of commerce. The only time the price is based on cost is when the market is competitive enough to drive that price down, and the cost acts as the floor. Even then, if you can get your costs below those of your competitors then it's your competitors cost that can act as the floor.

The way things should be priced is based on the value it gives you. If your service makes me or saves me $100 of value per month, I should be prepared to pay up to a little below $100 for it.

that doesn’t address the context of the response at all.

is technology helping, or hurting in that situation?

near as i can tell, it is the only thing that could help.

we aso have significant food stores and buffers, and if it was the situation you described it would literally be a ‘drop everything and get working’ emergency. we’d likely do better than you expect.

what else could possibly help besides technology?

But yes, a lot of people would die.
I would actually guess that biggest risk is internal. Either faulty wiring, appliance or simple user error in kitchen or with live fire. Entire neighbourhoods burning in general is rare event.
AppStore should have had some review mechanisms from the beginning. When an app reaches a certain scale, it should be required to ensure that its data centers are supervised by government technical personnel and accessible to the government.
This approach is similar to China's, because data is valuable—it can feed algorithms, making them more powerful and making the "candy" for kids even more addictive. The platforms where data resides can also do many things; just look at what Elon did on X regarding the election.

I started doing this a couple of years ago. In fact, I found this post when going through my RSS after breakfast.

My biggest problem so far is that the RSS data is often very lacking (body, images, etc) and that there are still lots of content I'd like to filter out by sentiment. Like if I follow a technology outlet I don't want to know that there's an absolute steal on Sonos Arc on Bestbuy because I'm generally not into consuming and I live in northern Europe.

I have high hopes for ML to populate the RSS data and filter content like this. I want to experiment with this.
Probably a class action lawsuit in the future, if one does not already exist.

Jail time? Probably not, we let health insurance companies get away with taking away critical needs from patients and delaying care in the name of delivering shareholder value. The best they get is a slap on the wrist from the government, let alone jail time.

Thw piano string produces a higer torque because it is shorter does not answer you why it is shorter or how waves travel exactly within it, but it sure as hell would be required knowledge to start researching beyond that first observation.

> The weak force is short range because it's field is stiffer.

May seem like a simple redirection that could go on forever, but we learned that fields can be stiffer, which probably wasn't all that clear. Now we can observe all other forces and look how their fields vary in terms of stiffness — a parameter we might not have thought about before. And by looking in those other places we might find a clue on how to shape an experiment that allows us to vary the stiffness. That could already have useful applications, but also lead to answering the question why some forces have stiffer fields than others.
Sure I do. Do you have anything else you can propose that would help at all?

And if a couple billion people (minimum) would be dead if we didn’t do it ASAP, do you think that energy or material wouldn’t be expended at the drop of a hat?

Hell, look at how much energy we expend just to serve cat videos.

People generally respond to sudden, external, visible risks pretty well.

It’s when risks are hidden, build slowly, or are caused by behaviors they consider ‘unsolvable’ and they’ve learned to adapt to that they suck.
> Nue flips this ratio: codebases become 90% CSS

This shows a lack of understanding of what a modern webapp is meant to be. Again, your framework is a attempt for static blogposts & other non-interactive/minimally intercative sites. Modern javascript developers build complex webapps, whether you like it or not.

You think stripe.com (webapp) engineers are spending 90% of the time tweaking css?
There is, I use kexec to boot a modified cpio containing the fde password, since cpio can be extended by concatenation. https://gist.github.com/webstrand/381307348e24c28d5c4c9a5981...

It's the same technique grub uses to forward the FDE password to the initramfs after its own initial decryption (to read the kernel and initramfs). This works to reboot remote servers with FDE, without needing a vnc or earlyboot-sshd.

I think apt comparison would be collision coverage. How much would you charge from someone that collides a car each year. Probably more than cost of those collisions on average.
> What began as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript has devolved into a complex build orchestration demanding hundreds of dependencies, even for a simple page.

I’m no react fan boy, but this is a total straw man. Vite and the like make builds dead ass easy. Also, to try to represent the days before react as some kind of utopia is total horseshit. I have been doing front end for just as long as the author (nearly 20 years) so I lived through that stuff. It was total chaos before. Just gobs of unmaintainable shit. No tests. No reusable code. Nothing. Does react have problems? Yes. Do people use it when they shouldn’t? Also yes. But the whole “it’s too complicated to get it to build” argument is tired.
That’s beautifully put... An undeniable grief in knowing that the new worlds he might have opened up for us, will never come
I still don't follow.

If I'm reading it right, and the prior context, we shouldn't allow private insurers to charge the prices they want for insurance?

What do you want us to do? Ultimately someone has to pay for the bad outcomes happening here - either that's homeowners in risky areas, insurance shareholders or the general taxpayer, depending on where you fall.

If you don't make the ultimate originators of the risk pay for it (people in risky areas) they won't stop doing the stupid thing and others will bear the cost. Arguably that is the greatest strength of the "free market" - directing the efforts of everyone in the same, positive, direction.

> Your Markdown- based content generates semantic HTML
HTML is far more expressive in semantics, so using markdown to get html means you will never be able to get most semantic things you actually wanted.

React couples the structure, styling into js components only if you make it so. You can just write style.css, import it and refer to it is classname as `className="my_custom_class"`.

And there is no clean separation of concern when it comes to html, css and js. You can force to separate them, but that would be a separation of technologies, not concerns - they are too intertwined to be separated.
And the example of island on the tutorials proves that:
```
<form @name="contact-me" @submit.prevent="submit" autocomplete="on">
```

There is no way to create a standard-first framework without introducing some form of DSL. This doesnt look like html, this doesnt look like js, and it is def not primarily css based anything.

___
The project is nice, using new features like starting style, view transition - instead of js based solutions is cool. There are a lot of experimental features, like popover api. The browser support is low and those things are not production-ready for everyone (maybe for some).

The approach is good, the site is good, the docs are good, but I dont like the distinction from competitors. Like I can use all those features in react/vue/astro/qwik. What makes you unique? Being able to apply web standard solutions? How about something along the lines - we create better primitives so you can create you website faster/easier?
