2. The individual plan is from Priority health, it is their individual High deductible HMO HSA plan with a annual deductible of $6300. The entire spectrum health network is covered in the plan, (Spectrum health pretty much owns all of west MI and the Grand Rapids area).

3. http://www.healthshareplan.org/
When I contacted them, they only paid out to UoM and Mercy Health networks, not spectrum health. Since I live in Spectrum health land, this wouldnt work well for me. however if you live in East MI, you may consider this.

> Obama care cost 2x as much as an individual plan

What is an Obamacare plan? I thought the ACA created a marketplace that listed plans from insurers, and set minimums for coverage (that would apply to options #2 and #3). I haven't had to deal with it so I don't know.

> this same exact coverage would have only cost me $84/m before 2014 when Obama care went into play

How else has the ACA affected your insurance? For example, I think it allows you to stay on your parents plan until now (i.e., through age 25), guarantees you won't be turned down, eliminates caps on coverage, etc.

EDIT: Remove something that I think was overly provacative, (even if not meant that way).
I know what Gladio was, the NATO stay-behind operation in Italy. However the argument that something happened once therefore it is happening all the time is pretty flawed. Nobody would ever suggest that the existence of Gladio means that flase-flag operations are standard practice or the default mdoe of operation for the IC.
I recommend against using SSAO. It makes games look bad (and kind of cheap), because the results do not look much like the way light really behaves.

If you want your rendering to have nice lighting, there are all kinds of preprocessed global illumination techniques you can use. Yeah, these are not great for animated objects, and SSAO people will tell you SSAO is good for animated objects ... except it isn't, because again, the result does not look anything like actual light and shadow (I don't consider speed to be a great virtue if the thing that you produced quickly is not very good... Unless there is no way to do anything better because you can't affrod it.) There are other techniques you can apply in the case of animated objects to produce much better output (baking a per-vertex occlusion representation and evaluating it on the GPU, for example.)

There was a brief window in time when SSAO maybe seemed like a good idea but we are well past that.

The reason I say SSAO makes games look "kind of cheap" is because it usually gets used by Unity games that just turn on the SSAO flag. These games are instantly recognizable.
It's been awhile since I've looked into it, but my local tech council (http://pghtech.org) offers a coverage group to provide health insurance options to member organizations. I knew a few folks that have leveraged this in the past, but I'm not sure how rates have changed due to the ACA.

It may be worth seeing if such a program exists in NYC, and if it would be worth the membership costs.

I notice you're using interfaces to do your handlers, and (forgive me if i'm reading this wrong) casting those interfaces to a specific "type" of function before invoking them.

That seems like it would be inefficient in performance-critical code like a worker system. Have you considered using typed-functions and function pointers to accomplish a similar approach?

That said, I could easily be missing something in the design, so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

US triumphs in 'hardest ever' maths Olympiad
Most jurisdictions (i.e. states/provinces) require workplaces to identify the hazards in their workplace and rate them through a hazard assessment.

Ouch is an MVP that allows people to record the hazards they see and explore assessments that others created.

1) it's hard to create a hazard assessment and keep them up to date
2) employees don't always get input or get to see what the hazards are in their workplace

This will hopefully allow anyone to record and rate hazards and anyone can look at them.

Thanks for your thoughts. I appreciate the feedback.
>problematic is that there is "no way to reissue a fingerprint," Lee said, meaning that once a set is in the hands of a foreign adversary they are vulnerable as long as that person is working in government.... That reality could create a squeeze on government for decades to come, as agencies may be forced to forgo fingerprints for things like two-factor authentication and instead rely on another biometric, such as facial recognition or iris scans.

I see people on HN say it all the time, biometrics are for identification, not authentication.

And a great point it is.

Given the nature of financing, and the nature of an automobile as an asset, I have to question the sanity of anyone obtaining a loan to buy any new car, which drops in resale value the instant you drive it off the dealer lot. If the car in question, new or used, retails for more than $25k, I no longer need to question; at that point, I know the person is insane.

If you can make a $25k down payment on a $100k car, you could pay cash for a $25k car and own it outright. The only reasons anyone should be taking a loan to buy a car are as follows:

1. Owning the car would increase that person's potential to earn disposable income to a greater extent than the loan costs would reduce it.

2. The person has no realistic means for saving up for the purchase price of any acceptable car without having such a car already.

The traditional, rational means of buying a new luxury car is to first buy the best beater you can afford at that moment, run it into the ground, and repeat that step until the money saved by driving beaters and junking them is enough to buy a reliable car that can eventually be resold. Then, you continue saving and trading in your old vehicle until you finally achieve the quality of vehicle that you desire. The best trade-in point is right at the end of the flat part of the maintenance cost bathtub curve for that car, at which point you buy the best car you can afford that is still a few years/miles away from that point.

In that light, all those people buying used BMW 3-series instead of new luxury cars are showing themselves to be somewhat prudent car buyers. But you still don't know if they gradually built up to it, paid in cash, or took a loan.

Even so, just about everyone middle class or lower will look at someone driving an obviously expensive car and instinctively think, "what an asshole." It's probably related to the deep-rooted primate instinct for judging fairness in social interactions. All the other monkeys hate the monkey that gets more bananas and doesn't share. That's really the primary reason to avoid ostentatious displays of wealth in public, especially in the wrong social contexts.
The fact that you didn't have to buy insurance until 26 is a result of Obamacare too. Think of all the money you saved being on that insurance for several extra years. You're welcome!

And maybe in part because you're spending that $84 now someone else who has a pre-existing condition and no health insurance will be able to not die or go bankrupt if they get something serious.

You have to buy insurance because our system now factors in the strain on the system you would cause if something happened to you and you didn't have insurance. Just think of it like a tax (or the tax penalty like a tax, and the subsidy like a reward for responsible behavior.) That's how the Supreme Court thought of it.
That's because the NC state government refused to have anything to do with ACA.
*I'd have to see some stats that anyone has upgraded to the 2002 standard to believe anyone is actually using object oriented COBOL in production.

My employer actually still uses HP 3000 COBOL, even though the HP 3000 boxes are long gone. We now run on top of AMXW[1] and Ti2SQL[2] which are like mainframe emulator frameworks, so that we can execute 35 year-old COBOL code on UNIX hardware and a SQL database. No point in upgrading it to COBOL 2002. We're porting it to Java instead.

Does that $650 per month include subsidies from the government for low income? Because that is far cheaper than what I received as a quote on healthcare.gov. For my wife and kids it was $1,100 per month with a $12,000 deductible. With that plan my out-of-pocket expenses would be $25,000 per year before the insurance paid a nickel!

86% of people who sign up with Obamacare received a subsidy1 from the government for low income. Without that, I don't understand how anyone could afford the rates posted there.

But what is the rationale behind suggesting in minimum wage? It's not 'more pay'... it's something like reducing poverty, 'fairness', a moral belief that people should not suffer, etc.

The answer "Laws requiring employers to pay [higher wages, better pensions, healthcare coverage] increases unemployment because regulation has negative unintended consequences" a) is useless to policy makers and b) is a dismissal of the original moral position. It is thus a moral stance in itself. It says "I value freedom of the market more than I value your goals." I don't know if most economists have been manipulated into this role or are willing contributors, but the result is that they are being taken less seriously by society.

Economists are currently in the role of saying that the rising tide of a free market will eventually lift all boats, don't be distracted by the losers... but we seem to be reaching the limits of the effectiveness of this strategy and society seems to be uncomfortable with the casualties.

The question that generally needs answering is: "How can I reduce the negative consequences of free markets and what is the most effective way to compensate the losers?"
Drilling a well takes a long time, and it typically is not worth stopping part way. So it takes a long time for output to respond to price signals.

Most of the increased capacity is due to wells that were started before the prices dropped. You'll see the output dropping once those wells start tapering off, and no new ones are coming online to keep up the supply.

Not really - because the pools are collections of individual miners that each can switch which pool they participate in on a whim. There aren't some much "owners" as facilitators. In practice we've already seen this, when several pools have gotten close to the 50% mark, individual minors have switched pools, or even split their participation across multiple pools.

But without any sort of oversight, accountability, or really any of the sort of mechanisms that should be in place for this to be considered an agency of a functional democracy, we have to assume that if they have the ability to do it with a very low chance of getting caught, and they've already done it in the past, there's a fairly good chance they're doing it again.

We won't assume they are 100% still doing it, but there is a significant non-trivial probability that they are, and in what we like to call a democracy, this is very very wrong.
