I'm pretty sure leaving a job, even on your own accord, is a qualifying event that you can use to get subsidized healthcare. You should definitely look into what option are available.
> It's not a straightforward insurance matter since many many applications are time critical.

If you can put a dollar figure on the potential time loss, it's still a pretty straightforward matter.

If you're flying with a "we must get this in orbit ASAP or the world will catch on fire" priority then, eventually, one will probably pay more for that. (the government will contract out a series of flights so it will play out differently for them)

It's going to take some flying for that to all shake out. As others have pointed out, it's not obvious that the first flight will have the lowest risk. It will be the most expensive in the beginning because its risk is the best understood.
> Even if it were medically safe, how would you make sure that people used it in societally acceptable ways and that it didn't imperil the long term genetic pool of the human race ?

You can't. That's both the beauty and fear of it. We'll either have immortality, or extinction.
My wife is also college educated and stays home. I don't see how this is anti-feminist, though. The way I see it, it's a woman choosing to live the way she wants to live. It had never occurred to me that this could be anti-feminist.

Then again, I live in Utah where a sizeable portion of the college-educated women major in Family and Consumer Sciences at BYU. Seriously, though.

My wife graduated in marketing and has worked and is fully able to work as a professional. I kind of view it as noble for her to bear the responsibility of full-time child rearing. It's undoubtedly a more difficult task than my sitting around on a computer all day occasionally going to meetings with catered lunches. ;)
The better question may be: "Are there successful countries due to mandatory voting?"

Australia is the country most like the US on the list. I don't know enough about the Central American countries on the list to judge their internal politics. The unenforced list includes Belgium and France.
Did they already resolve the legal issues on a state by state basis?

My college educated wife also chose to stay home! She knew that's what she wanted to do before college.

I think it's hard to disparage when any partner chooses to stay home -- and isn't choice a core tenant of feminism?
Thanks for your question, @smanuel! It's a good one!

At this point in time, we're focused more on software/device vendor integrations into healthcare systems. However, this strategy is aimed at eventually making personal health records a reality.

With blue button, health providers weren't incentivized to adopt - it's just not a high priority for health systems right now. However, if we could solve the integration problem for health systems while paving the way towards personal health records incentive won't be an issue. The FHIR specs are the latest step in the right direction! (We're big proponents of FHIR)

Akido holds real promise to enable personal health records in the near future -- be on the look out!

What? Has anyone ever met an executive? They are abusive, power-hungry, and ruthless. Our tech folk hero Jobs is a perfect example. Their power and salaries inspire at best fear and at worst resentment and contempt. They do their best when they step back and let experts do real work, taking care of the administrative and management details so people with real skills don't have to. They climb corporate power structures because corporate power is what's important to them and they've learned how to get it.

I recognize this is all anecdotal but the outpouring of anecdotal executive-sympathy in this comment thread is mind-boggling; a little push back in the other direction seems not out of line.
Perhaps it's a stupid question, but how can a web client confirm that code is really running from inside the TPM? Since the source code is freely available from github, isn't there a chance that whoever controls the server (hacker or malicious owner) can simply override the TPM at some point in future, and run the unsigned, possibly altered, code directly, circumventing all the restrictions? As far as I understand the mechanics of TPM, for this setup to work you need the server owner to be trusted and actively monitoring and protecting the server setup like banks do, to detect any breach. Then it makes sense: you trust the owner, owner creates the proper setup and TPM protects it from any future unauthorized changes. If the owner of the server cannot be trusted this will not work, since he/she can just change the back-end setup and do as he's pleased, and you don't have any way to detect this on the client side?

I disagree that finding a partner is harder as you get older -- at least in the upper third or so by income of white-collar workers, which is the demographic that is being targeted here.

I mean, past a point, sure. Probably it's a lot harder to find a partner at age 45 than it is at 30. But I think it's easier at 30 than at 25.
This. This is the scariest movie I've ever seen. It's just too real. It's happening all around us.
That's quite heavy-handed. Funny that the reformatting actually broke the build for some configurations, even going unnoticed for a while(!!!). I'm glad I'm not a downstream maintainer having to deal with all that! :O

In fact.. If even a failing build weren't immediately discovered, what are the chances there haven't been introduced other bugs (that wouldn't fail to compile)?
Rocky's Boots and Robot Odyssey might be great things to try. You can run both on an emulator. I'm pretty sure you can play Rocky's Boots pre-reading.

Hey @c0mpute - that's a very good question!

We are building relationships with health systems across the country, but we can't remove the need for you to talk to them. What Akido does is make integration a non-issue - we turn integration into 'plug n play' from the developer's and hospital's perspective. What this means for you is that your sale to the hospital or clinic decision maker becomes far easier!

Please do note that the health system maintains all control over who has access to data -- this is VERY sensitive data, and it's extremely important that access is tightly controlled, logged, and auditable. (Akido handles all of that for the hospital)
As I understand, this is exactly what manipluating the federal interest rate is about targeting: they're changing the incentives on different investment types. When federal interest rates are low, this pushes people to search for other (riskier) investments.

Also, I wonder if 401ks and IRAs have that much weight in the grander view of "invested" money saved away, considering their tax-deductability, and thus appeal as a savings plan, is limited and constrained (this year: $18k for a 401k, $5.5K ($6.5K if you're over 50) for IRAs).

I have been informed by some non-immigrant Japanese people that they find some Japanese immigrants living in, say, Canada or America, to have their own way of thinking (so that, "yappari" (of course, no surprise!), those people prefer being immigrants in another culture).

So sometimes I ask the question, like it's great in Japan, why do you want to be here? The reasons are various, among them things like, "I like just addressing people by their first name", or "there are people from many different countries and cultures in Canada; people are not 'the same'".

Once on the train (in Canada) I overheard some snippet of conversation among some girls about some planned event, "... minna Nihonjin dakara ikitakunai" ("I don't want to go, because everyone there will be Japanese").
>> "doing the Japanese thing" isn't a natural, subconscious thing. It's a deliberate "playing the part".

Arguably, for anyone, it always is just playing a part. Japanese seem to get this point better than some, so tend to keep in character for longer.

So, my brother works in one of those labs. Whatever they have told you, don't bet on it. Making totipotent stem cells (SCs) is a lot different than multipotent SCs. The tragedy of the Sasai incident [1] I think highlights the difficulty and the false hopes in that field. There are a LOT of issues that are very difficult to get us to totipotency [2]. For instance, in regular development, we do not yet know how cells communicate exactly. Is Wingless or SonicHedgeHogg transferred extracellularly (in Brachet's cleft) or via thin processes in the 'bucket-brigade' manner. How do the cells move during gestriculation? Etc. You may think these are pedantic, but if it is bucket-brigade mechanism, then having other cells is required to develop and return SCs to totipotency. And before you think that these are solvable issues, look into embryology [3] a bit more. For example, it is unknown what role the direction of the sperm's entrance has on the development of a chordate embryo. Just waving hands and saying 'they'll figure it out' isn't the best way to think about this. These biological systems represent 4.5 billions years of hacking and tinkering that we are just now starting to understand.

TL;DR: The body is incredibly fascinating and complicated, is a series of cells going back 4.5 Gy, and is very expensive to research.

Where did I say this was the ultimate failure of functional programming? I do not think it is. Nor do I think functional programming is a failure. It is a good skill to have. But so is understanding some of the non-immutable algorithms out there.
I assume his point is that makes car buying stressful for a lot of people is the negotiation thing. If you're willing to dispense with that--which can indeed save money in many circumstances--then it will indeed be less stressful. And, at the margins, that's not even an irrational decision.
The real problem is that mega/giga/tera/peta have well established uses meaning "factor or 10" for EVERYBODY except people talking about memory.

Political Pressure to Pass CISA Quickly Could Pose Problem for Civil Liberties
I agree with you (and really am looking forward to Starfighter and don't share the GP's), but I'd like to point out that your answer is sort of incorrect. I can launch a stupid idea aimed at, say, world peace. People can reasonably mock my stupid idea, while not being able to find a solution. E.g if I propose stacking rocks in order to reach Mars, a dismissive, snarky, comment may be warranted. Honestly, if it was Monster or Oracle behind this instead of well-known awesome people, I'd be as skeptical as the GP.
Mandatory voting would give a lot of power to the gerrymanderers. As we know, modeling the behavior of large groups of people is easy. When you can predict who will vote and you have access to drawing voter district boundaries, you have the ability to preselect who will be elected.

Not voting is a choice and allows voter apathy to play a role in deciding elections. If an area is a majority Democrat but most of the voters don't care enough to vote then a motivated minority party can put boots on the ground and get their candidate into office. With mandatory voting that would never happen as the majority incumbent would always win thanks to receiving all those votes cast out of obligation rather than intent. That aggravates the most difficult part of democracy which is giving people with unpopular yet valid opinions a voice in the conversation.

Now, if we had proportional representation...

An interesting implication of that statement is that all the hardware to make this functionality work is already in the vehicle if it's just a software update.
They need to bring in immigrants of only a single gender from any given nation. They will assimilate much quicker than those who will have the opposite gender to form relations with and isolated communities with. Early immigrants right after the war in Britain assimilated quite well, even normally conservative ones like Muslim communities when only men were brought over.

This sounds like a scotsman's argument. I could have just reassigned the value, however we have style guidelines saying they have to be final. So, yes, I could have shadowed it in another block or function. At that point, I'm beginning to question just how immutable we wan't the view of the world to be.

This gets back to my point in a sibling about more types and better organization could have helped. Sure. I'm not even going to claim that immutability caused this bug. As it didn't. It also was not a silver bullet that helped make this code bug free.

Basically, you're not going to say and do the right thing, if you're raised by wolves in the woods, no matter what genes you contain. It is learned.

So then whether it's acting its just a question of how deeply is the learning integrated into your personality and how it aligns with your so called temperament.

> Landlords don't make money by providing a service or selling goods. They make money by sitting on something no one else is allowed to have.

Is that second sentence any less true of any other trade, including the traditional selling of goods? After all, the only reason you have to give a food vendor money for food is that the vendor (or someone on the vendor's behalf) will use violence if necessary to defend the vendor's exclusive claim on that food.

> Sure, they bought the land originally, but there's no more investment to be made after that.

That isn't true. There are maintenance costs and property tax, and less obvious things like the opportunity cost of risk of purchasing a house in order to rent it out.

The reason I brought up the areas surrounding train station stops is because those areas are the prime commerce locations where things are supposed to be at their best. Things like homelessness exist everywhere in the shadows of society. To have buildings that contrast sharply with the glittering skyscrapes that symbolize Tokyo exist adjacent to train stations is a signal that not all is well everywhere in the country, even within greater Tokyo.
The point of their website is to make censored content available to Chinese users.

China is attacking them to prevent Chinese people from reading the website.

Your suggestion is to make the site unavailable to China.

Do you see why it is not a solution? You are basically setting up a market for censorship-- the attack doesnt ever have to end-- depending on how much China is willing to pay to keep the website offline.
No, but no one ever said there was.
It's embarrassing. For years a lot of Americans just hoped they didn't get sick. Obamacare has helped, but people are falling through the cracks. Insurance companies took advantage of the bill, and raised rates to the point where
some/many unemployed people can't afford private insurance, or qualify for medi-cal.

(To all the Obama naysayers--he tried.
By the time Republicans got through scaring people, he needed
to include private insurance companies, just to get something
passed. And something is still better than what we had before--Nothing!

No insurance--own house--get sick--go to hospital--get jacked up bill--can't afford to pay--hospital lawyers eventually receive judgement on lawsuit--eventually attach home--quietly evict you! This scenario is still possible.

I hear about these earnest individuals(without assets) and refusing to declare bankruptcy still struggling to pay off
their medical bills. Go ahead, but just know the rates they
charge you were padded, and you are paying the highest rates
they can charge you? Even if you pay cash, and they half the
bill(antidotal stories I have heard on the fact machine) you
are still paying way more than anyone with collective bargaining agreements(Insurance companies). Don't be a hero?
It's a rigged system.

Yes--I have a bit of anger towards the medical system.
It's economically inefficient, as well as anti-human-rights?
> A lot of these people don't even consider it a problem to use "report as spam" as a ways to punish companies for things that aren't even sending spam

I get a fair many spams that have "unsubscribe" links, or even that look like newsletters (for companies or organizations of varying legitimacy). I'm always pleased when they come through one of the major mailing list providers that provides a separate "report abuse" link, with which I can report that no, I don't just want to unsubscribe, I want to report that I never subscribed in the first place so that the list itself gets terminated.

If it's possible for someone to be subscribed to your "newsletter" without having explicitly consented to doing so (and in the process proving ownership of the subscribing email address), you are sending spam.

I'm going to be proposing a solution to the issues with economic rent in a upcoming talk at the Texas Bitcoin Conference on March 29th at 9am.

The solution involves insuring the inalienable right to the full output of one's labor and a social contract that lets the economic rent seeking continue. It probably won't work, but sure has been fun unwinding the thread.
Not sure I follow your point. You can write really bad C#. And you can write even worse c++. The quality of a language isn't about how bad you can twist it if you decide to be reckless.

In fact I must say one of the things that I appreciate the most about VB, beside case insensitivity is the IDE. I think c# is catching up now but the VB IDE is incredible in term of how much help you get, immediate feedback on what went wrong, rich auto-completion of code.
I was casually lumping in state income tax. That, the Obamacare 3.8% investment surtax, &c., and the situation is reasonably painful for a whole lot of people.

If you want to get married and have kids, you should just do it. My wife and I had our daughter while we she was still in law school and I had just graduated. Taking care of a kid is a lot of work while both working long hours at big firms, but why that's what grandparents are for. There is no good time to be sleep deprived for months doing night feedings. At least in your 20's you have the energy and your parents are young enough to help out!
I love Tesla, SpaceX and Solarcity and what E Musk is doing in these areas but I am strongly against cars that drive you around. This is all a push to limit our freedoms. What if I want to go for a drive? Soon we won't be able to drive cars because all cars will be automated.
I know exactly what that girl meant by that phrase and empathize with her. As as outsider of any degree (whether American born like me or simply not having fit in with the "way things are" in a Japanese group setting), it can be stifling.
I don't disagree with most of your post, except this part: "You can't change biology."

We can already 3D print organs, rewrite DNS using viruses, and just today discovered we can reverse Alzheimer's almost entirely using ultrasound within the brain. It is dangerously naive for us to think we cannot change our own biology. It's simply a matter of time and resources.
Thanks for the downvote I guess? I said it was a moot point because you said just go buy a Tesla! Which most people can't afford or want to spend on a car.

I don't that comparison is apt. One delayed product is not nearly the same as a long sequence of products that were launched without many promised features.
