A long long time ago before reddit, facebook, digg, twitter, etc, there was usenet. It worked a bit like reddit but subreddits were called news groups.

There were many front ends for usenet, called news readers.

My favourite was "nn" short for "no news".

It showed you posts in groups you're subscribed to, allowed you to post comments, etc.

When you had finished getting up to date it would EXIT and print:

No news. (Is good news)

I'm not sure I follow this: "why are we subsidizing people to rebuild in places that are clearly no longer habitable"

Does/Why would the insurance assume the subsidy is for people rebuilding in the same place? Money is fungible and so it doesn't need to be in the same place, at all. What I'd expect is that insurance for those hard-to-insure places would skyrocket and thus a new balance would be achieved.

I've been trying to talk to people locally, a place with lots of homes built in the woodland-urban interface, about the risks of climate change and how insurance will have to change. Unfortunately these discussions almost never go well, because it seems that most people have at best a surface level understanding of what insurance is and how it works, and everyone is convinced that it's a full scam and insurance companies are fabricating everything. When in reality, insurance is one of the rare areas where risks are very well assessed, not just by the initial insurer but also by a second party when reinsurance is purchased. And often those exits from the insurance markers are due to inability to purchase reinsurance.

Of course, explaining anything in detail is likely to make people think you work in the industry (I do not) and get accused of being a shill. All of which proves to me that older generations had a much easier life because nobody so financially ignorant today is in any sort of position to be able to buy a home.

All that said, I don't think it's actually a price ceiling. It's a limitation of what factors can be taken into account to set rates, and constitutional amendment from Prop 108 prevents the legislature from changing it.

What alternative do you suggest? I'm not saying providers should delete data when hitting a cap, but rather that this is one example of why you can't cap spend.

It is possible to combine all the billing axes for things like this so that, but when you do you get Dropbox, or Google Drive. The explicit value proposition of cloud hosting is paying for what you use, and generally granular services are lower margin and more commoditised than higher level services.
No it’s just that the insurance companies want mandated insurance pools for which they just receive checks.

In health insurance they don’t cover the elderly, and until Obama they did not cover people with prior conditions.

For home insurance they don’t cover flood get your are mandated to carry one if you have a mortgage.

In life insurance they do not cover you if you have a disease.

It’s more like a lottery rather than insurance.

If I remember correctly, Amtrak does something like this for pricing their train tickets. It is not the cost of going from A to B. It is priced so the more populated area travelers, North East Coast, pay higher to help reduce the cost for those in the middle of the USA. This helps make tickets more adorable for the more poor individuals.
I mean, this is the exact same logic people used as for why black slaves could not be freed (they'd take revenge on their former masters) or why apartheid South Africa couldn't end (they'd take revenge on their former superiors).

Could it work based on deviance from norms? Like a setting where you say, I’m okay with up to two standard deviations from our typical write volume but that’s it?

Or, alternatively, just let me set the size of the volume. Treat it like a hard drive?

In terms of your point about the data at rest, part of the issue is that we get a bill once per month, and that’s probably when we would notice it. Of course there is probably a Cloudwatch alarm or something we could set (I assume) but there’s so many damn services…

It's the backwards reasoning that really frustrates me when using LLMs. You ask a question, it says sure do these things, they don't work out and you ask the LLM why not, and it replies yes that thing I told you to do wouldn't work because of these clear reasons.

It would be nice to start at the end of that chain of reasoning instead of the other side.

Another regular example is when it "invents" functions or classes that don't exist, when pressed about them, it will reply of course that won't work, that function doesn't exist.

Okay great, so don't tell me it does with such certainty, is what I would tell a human feeding me imagination as facts all the time. But of course an LLM is not reasoning in the same sense, so this reverse chain of thought is the outcome.

I am finding LLMs far more useful for soft skill topics than engineering type work, simply because of how often it leads me down a path that is eventually a dead end, because of some small detail that was wrong at the very beginning.
Earthquakes make this a much more expensive option. To give you some idea, the design seismic acceleration for my house is like 3g. That's more sideways than down. The forces involved are the weight of the structure times this value. Concrete ways a LOT more. It absolutely can be done, but it's not clearly a superior material compared to wood.

I didn't say we shut off all the gas pumps tomorrow. It will obviously take time to transition off. I said we seize their assets and use the proceeds for climate relief. We can keep the revenue coming and using the profits for disaster relief while we transition off fossil fuels. It's not that hard to understand.

> it’s ok if insurance is expensive - let it result in the insured goods or services having a serious price adjustment.

Long term, sure. In the short term, the rapid rise of housing prices combined with the increased rates and severity of disasters means the extra monthly cost would be enough to price a number of people out of homes they purchased when rates were much lower. While it's easy to say, "They should just move," that has huge transaction costs. Aside from the obvious things, which are already substantial, consider the cost of paying off a mortgage taken out a few years ago and acquiring a new mortgage at current interest rates. That can cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars (which shows up as now only being able to afford a much worse house, probably in a much worse location, if you can continue to afford to own at all), and you are basically gifting that money to the bank by paying off your loan early.

You can understand why such people would be willing to take a chance on not having insurance rather than incur a definite loss, and why it might be tempting to try to come up with some other solution than just unleashing the unrelenting might of the free market on them.
Oh, they do that all the time. It doesn't matter if you had the loser check or not. I see popular users announcing and relaying bans all the time on Twitter. It's been that way since late 2000s.
Another example: Japan has many quakes per year and has a strangely high percentage of the world's active volcanos. People have lived there for a very long time, built to accommodate it (both traditionally, using timber and expecting to rebuild often, or with modern earthquake-hardened architecture), and is now a top five economy by GDP.

And, well, most of the US is just a hanger-on to California's economy.

The best outcome would be that Israelis collectively decide that ethnic hierarchy isn't right as a state and commit to ending it. What you are saying is basically that black slaves couldn't be freed because all they'd do is try another ill-fated Nat Turner rebellion.

The Palestinians don't have to "accept defeat" if the Israelis can "accept ethnic equality". The same way the IRA and the PA (who renounced violence as an overture to Israel) never "accepted defeat" either.
Because they're running the faulty auth
At least he's honest.
The losses were already socialized without the controls. Look at how the insurance companies always behave in these situations. They always find a way to stick the public with the bill. Don't listen to the corporate talking points. The price controls may have been stupid but they are a distraction.

I've used too many Linux distributions to list here, last one before NixOS being Arch.

No disto ever came close to giving me what NixOS gives:

- I can try to rebuild my system as many times as I want and it doesn't matter if it fails, as long as I get one to succeed I can switch to it;

- Once I get the system the way I want, I can reproduce the same setup with a single command across a number of different machines;

- I can reuse different parts of the config with different machines and update things incrementally, revision, etc, and every time I improve my shared config on one machine, the improvements are automatically transferred to the other machines upon gir-pull and rebuild.

I've now transfered most of my previous configuration to Nix, and not only that but I have tons of services I never bothered configuring on all machines enabled since it was all this trouble of moving configs back and forth.

I've got my share of issues with Nix, from trying to use submodules with Flakes (nixos-install does not work with it) to tons of headaches when trying to play with specializations - most of the time issues were caused by not understanding how the evaluation works or how to properly abstracting modules - but I cannot imagine myself going back to a regular Linux distribution ever again.
Do you really think cops are going to take the time and the tools to properly disassemble a vehicle for inspection and not rip apart panels, cut into seats, and break shit? Their search is legal and so they have qualified immunity from damages if there is even the slightest hint of possibility that they might have found evidence for a crime they suspected in the process. Harlow v.Fitzgerald established qualified immunity as it stands today and it is all but blanket immunity as long as there is any legal backing for their actions, which we have already established they have.

A 5 second google search will bring you up endless legal explanations from lawyer firms that if it is a legal search you have almost no chance of getting your money back unless you can someone get an officer to admit to damaging your property without cause, and good luck with that when they know they can just claim they were performing a legal search. And a few more minutes you will find endless cases of damage awards being denied, even in many cases where the search was found to not be legal to start with and all criminal charges dropped.

This seems like such a gloomy article. There are plenty of other solutions. If you can't insure a home, that home's price should come down. If there is a 5% chance my home is destroyed every year I would expect a steep discount. I could see myself gambling on such a home for 50% off. Alternatively if you don't wanna gamble, just move to a place that's less risky. If moving is too much for you, renting may still be an option. Yes the increased risk will push prices higher, but it will also crash property prices, so who knows what will happen. Yes land owners in these areas will be screwed, but you don't have a right to returns on your investment.
Some people dont know when to end calls early and everyone else is too polite to tell them to end it. I had a manager who made it a point to suggest to end a call early. I try not to force calls to end early unless I know everyone on the call. I notice when its all devs its really easy to suggest ending early vs when non devs are on a call unless a dev manager does it.
Lol, sounds like a gas!

>Like we see in California, when the government sets a price ceiling, insurance companies just leave

Does not answer the question. With no price caps, no one will be able to buy insurance even if required by law. So that means if you own a house in a risky area, you will be unable to sell it and your values will fall. The price caps are to prevent that. But to me, there should be big incentives to prevent building and re-building in risky areas.

So yes, the world in some areas are uninsurable. And other areas are becoming uninsurable.
I was thinking more along the lines of dynamic sets of client state machines or or device drivers. But right I get type states make this an adventure. Embedded Rust kind of has this problem actually, because the type states mean the state of say all the device drivers. This can easily mean some type parameter explosion of a parent structure that say has a set of peripheral driver structs as members
Article seems a bit black and white. After fire insurance dumped my mother's insurance, the "Fair" Plan started out with some similar black and white with insights like "zipcode bad for fire" == "you get worst price". Recently their direction has gotten better, better clearance == better pricing, better building == better pricing, etc. This seems like a better direction. Monthly inspections maybe even == better pricing. Repairs == better pricing. Community changes == better pricing. I think there is a lot of gradual room for improvement here. Ie. More spacing between homes, yard clearance, hydrant locations, accessible fire water sources, quarterly inspections by qualified inspectors, etc. Maybe highly exposed communities would have 10,000 gallon water tanks every square block just for fire.

I think it is easy for people to "dump" on some of these higher priced real estate incidents seen recently but this is also affecting people on social security. What are we going to do just let their house burn down and then just have a bunch of homeless senior citizens in the mix. Why even have government? Seems like a terrible country to live in if a 30 year old needs to plan their house situation out into their 80s.

Also seems a bit ironic to me that you get insurance to cover unexpected future expenses but when insurance takes losses then they can just drop you because .. the losses were unexpected. They've known for 20++ years and I'm sure some... money was made... Did they put some away for this situation? Also if you personally experience a loss they also drop you almost immediately.

This idea that we'd just let insurance companies do whatever is *nuts*. Has that ever worked? Honestly pure capitalism seems like the real behind the scenes American dream or fantasy. This same climate change most likely was created by companies making buckets of money with no plan to deal with the side-effects we experience now. Just let the market take care of it....

These companies aren't about making "some profit" they want to make as much profit as possible. Is some 75 year widow living in her and her dead husband's house in Eureka, CA going to convince them to keep insuring her house at a reasonable price? Even if she paid the same insurance company for 30 years?

I think the solution is going to require some government intervention because insurance companies just don't care and it will be hard for new players to innovate quickly enough to tackle such a large crisis. Ie. legislating the inspections, legislating the fire-resistant building guidelines + insurance scale, subsidizing certain low income locations, working with communities to improve fire safety and resources. Some work has happened but clearly it is not happening fast enough.
a practical problem is that the financial instruments insurance companies create (insurance linked securities or ILS, catastrophe bonds, and other structured products) are not available to retail investors, who would likely buy a lot of higher risk investments if they were allowed to, and this would provide a lot more collateral for writing new policies. if you want more of it, deregulate it. it's that simple.
Unless the plan is to quickly produce a prototype that will be mostly thrown away, any code that gets into the product is going to generate far more work maintaining it over the lifetime of a product than the cost to code it in the first place.

We need a high per-ton carbon tax, with all revenue dividended out per-capita to offset the inflation. This would eliminate the green premium on a great number of clean alternatives and avoid the problems of the government picking where to invest, letting the market handle that instead.

And if those companies don't find other things to do (they'd be quite good at geothermal, or durable carbon sequestration, with all their drilling and fracking expertise), then they'll go bankrupt without needing to do anything so extreme as nationalizing/seizing/whatever.
