The root of the problem is that American health insurance is employer-sponsored so you don’t get to choose your carrier and your employer can choose entirely because of bribes if they so choose. As such, the vaunted American invisible hand

I keep hearing people crow about how Africa is going to get re-colonized by China, but I just don't see it. It already happened[0] through massive predatory loans that Africans were never realistically going to be able to pay back. O

I don't have a solution, but just wanted to refute the idea that there is a simple one. Having a public insurance option to put downward pressure on existing insurance carriers was the most sensible strategy. Both Republicans and Dem

Health insurance companies have reasonable margins and it's really tough to make the claim they're profiteering off the system. Health insurance doesn’t need to be second-guessing doctors. I understand that someone needs to pool

Epidemiological experts are in the region to take samples and investigate the disease, the minister said... “At the current stage, we cannot speak of a large-scale epidemic, we must wait for the results of the samples taken,” health minist

If cultured meat and EVs take off like they're expected to, it won't just be the US/EU having to retool their economies.

Ditto for Tetanus. I always half-heartedly got my Tetanus vaccine when it came time because why not? After learning what happens, I started marking the day on my calendar ten years in advance.

My guess is that they’re trying to do it temporarily to boost sales for the WC bundle they’re in as a bonus perk. Blizzard, however, lost the assumption of goodwill by their customers years ago and resultantly, this will not be taken well.

It’s also known that supplementation will falsely elevate levels even in the presence of a deficiency. It sounds to me that what you’re saying is that a daily multivitamin would not help in this case.

It's the Team Fortress 2 paradox all over again. TF2 famously had a number of games all coming to dismantle its market dominance and each of them failed miserably. This might have seemed puzzling given TF2's somewhat antiquated ga

Yeah, the funny part is that Hulu, Amazon Prime, and Peacock have all demonstrated the ability to handle an event of this caliber with no issue. Netflix now may never get another opportunity like this again.

All of the major platforms experience major outflow after elections, no? Logically, Twitter would lose more users given that they have a larger user base to start with. What’s the next major event where we can reliably measure to see which

How can you possibly be as productive as someone working in Visual Studio? I'm asking honestly - working without the solution explorer, being able to look at any immediate variable, instruction pointer dragging, and others seems like i

The first six months are by far the most difficult. Once you can get the baby on a consistent sleep schedule, you can start to plan around that. Granted, you won't have time for much else in the world but you also won't be at risk

Real meat will never go away but that doesn't mean it needs to be the largest fraction of meat consumption either.

I love meat as much as the next person, but widespread meat consumption is not particularly ecological. Lab-grown meat is probably the quickest route forward that maintains normalcy whilst solving the sustainability issues.

Yep, the DNC has lacked the self-awareness in these past few years to gaze within and cull the cruft that 100% of their voter base hate. Superdelegates need to go. They're this generation's Korematsu (as in they are still active w

Surely HN of all spaces would understand why giving free money to Intel is a massive waste? Also if they genuinely need the money, they should be offering ownership in return.

Did they not meet him face-to-face? It’s a small price to pay for confirmation that you’re talking to a real person. Even if not, you at least have someone’s face and information to report to the authorities.

It's a waste of time and resources for hotels to have me stay for ten hours during a layover. They'll need to wash the sheets, vacuum the room, and clean out the bathroom for my six-hour nap. The airport is too uncomfortable but t
