At least in Switzerland, the government pays if you are paying more than 8% of your income, the government caps deductibles, and the government prohibits profit seeking for the basic plan. Very different from the US

Even conservative economists are more charitable and cogent in their critique of m4a than this comment is.

Perhaps it's my inexperience with the english language showing, but I thought "has" in this context was past tense.

For things that start as academic work, often the original paper is quite helpful. I find it an enjoyable read if you have a background in databases (it actually was a reading for my grad systems class) https://people.csail.mit.e

Respectfully, I think that this is a misunderstanding of the context in which Einstein made his theoretical innovations. He did not do it in a vacuum and he absolutely built upon incremental scientific progress. The fact that someone else c

I am unfamiliar with Wolfram's new theory, but some have said it is similar to his previous "Theory of Everything" via cellular automaton. It often can be quick to determine whether a theory will ever be falsifiable - it has

The weirdest thing is that many of my friends have forgotten that it was every not like this. I mention that I prefer the old method of scrolling and they are insistent that it has always been "natural."

The "content ecosystem" slaughtered the print ecosystem. If their revenue derives exclusively from invasive tracking, then "oops" they should have planned better. So it goes. No industry has a right to exist.

Do Not Track was a failure because no state actor was forcing private companies to comply. Even if it had been an opt-in solution, no company would have respected it.

There are serious and undocumented problems in Docker. For instance, I spent multiple days investigating an issue in my tests that eventually I realized was due to accessing memory returned by an `mmap` syscall on a Docker mounted FS causin

Benchmarking in Docker in general is a mistake I believe.

If he's benchmarking on docker, I'm not sure that perf works in docker.

That's a good reference and I'll definitely look to that going forward. Worth noting however, that the first article I found in those 23 references that actually used the phrase 'race condition' (in "What are race c

I do not think that this is a settled issue in any way- there are quite a few people who do not use race condition to mean what wiki says. Indeed, there is even a debate about this issue in the talk page of wikipedia [ https://en.

If you scroll up, the question was "Aren't executives mostly paid in stock and bonus?"

I also don't have more than anecdotes, but just to add to the collection - my top tier school has lots of people who boycott companies like Palantir and I, personally, declined an Amazon offer due to their business practices. (why did

Outside of bio/medical academia, I think the GP is very true to my experiences as well.

> Everybody does what they want. As opposed to what? Everyone having their own personal sort of projects or splitting up in groups of two and three is natural in the academia research groups I’ve been in to. What is wrong with that?

That’s still private money, no? Well, I guess in this case it was a public uni. It in many cases it is not.

I thought most executive compensation was paid out of pre-allocated shares.

Yeah, sorry it was unclear but I was more confused by the "siphoning" value part.

You don't understand how urban school districts work if you think you can just get a grade to "repeat itself." Kids will drop out once they're 18 like flies.

But that overhead was largely marketing and they bundled discount prices into marketing expenses.
