Do you think my inability to post AdviceAnimal style memes on HN is a free speech issue? Or do you think that a given forum deciding that it has a specific focus is actually ok, and that flagging an article as not belonging here is not, f

Then I’d not hire them for being so short-sighted. Your college degree has nothing, at all, to do with the rest of your life unless you want it to and you work to make sure that it does. Seems like this wouldn’t need to be said on a tech bo

This view of people seems… idealistic, given the number of people who uncritically look to Facebook or Reddit for information (and then happily parrot whatever memes they find) and the number of LLMs that do the same. I think people are sub

That’s not, at all, what the article was about. Though I get the knee-jerk need to react as negatively as possible, as quickly as possible, to a headline. Speaking of “hate” and other online fads.

The ACA was a fantastic tool, enabling millions more people to access insurance that will actually pay things. If this is your analysis, my assumption is that you work in a healthcare adjacent world like BNPL and don’t actually have even th

Then get rid of it. In the US, you’re not obligated to have insurance and are free to gamble on your continued good health and save your premium money for a black swan health event. Or, alternately, look up the word “insurance” and realize

Not sure what you do for home prices - with increasingly horrific wildfires occurring more frequently and in places that normally don’t see them (Louisville, CO springs to mind), it probably just is going to cost more. Sucks to feel the e

Why are you still following him? Obviously LI has an incentive to add engagement, and users want interaction, but LI provides tools to help you get rid of the garbage. I am amazed by how many people adamantly refuse to use those tools.

The issue isn’t Medicare Advantage, it’s Medigap regulations. If a person can demonstrate continuous coverage, there’s no reason that they shouldn’t qualify (I mean, ideally, obviously they aren’t in reality). I’d also note that MA plans ar

Assuming bad faith is somewhat ironic and kind of a crummy way to interact online. Do you not think it's conceivable that someone could possibly think this is a bad idea honestly?

Totally! You caught me assuming MA given the baseline enrollment is slightly higher, and that number is also slightly greater in CA, but valid thing to note.

To 1 million deaths by mosquito and exponentially more infected by Malaria. Again, it’s just not close, and it’s going to be vastly fewer when you think about rattlesnakes in the US or whatever in Australia. And, as above, mosquitoes are la

Snakes kill and injure vastly, incomprehensibly fewer people than mosquitos. I’m not clear why we would try to destroy them or why that would be remotely desirable.

Given he’s most certainly on Medicare Advantage at 74, and the context of the article, I think that’s the sticker cost from the manufacturer, not the patient-billed cost. His bill was, most likely, in the hundreds.

In a typical conversation, if someone misunderstood you, you wouldn’t give them an angry middle finger, you’d clarify your meaning. But you do you.

Then perhaps you should use your words and explain what you actually mean, lest it be assumed to be ill-informed snark.
