Depends on the state. States like Florida and Texas did not expand Medicaid, so if you make under the minimum for ACA subsidies, your choice is pay full price ACA or nothing. For example, in Florida, to be eligible for Medicaid, you must b

Super interesting. Short term this will be useful for detecting deepfakes. Long term this will be useful in training deepfake models to make undetectable deepfakes.

Trees are essential, but we've released into the atmosphere so much carbon that was previously trapped under the earth in liquid and solid form. Trees aren't enough, we need to get that carbon back into long term storage.

Unless you really enjoy feeling like a cyberpunk, there is no reason to have a chip implanted to pull up a url instead of just using a bookmark on your phone. My suspicion is the 6000 number is the estimate of total number of people in the

Investors desperately want a rotation into a new technology so they can get in on the ground floor of something. To that end, they are taking blockchain technology that trades unbelievably terrible efficiency for distributed and trustless c

>undebase-able (say, gold or crypto)… Can’t debase something that has no base. Crypto has upper limit on supply (usually) but but no lower limit on demand. It can go to zero tomorrow based on feelings.

It’s not false that there is a societal problem that is not unique to Facebook. But that sidesteps the question of what responsibility they have as a company whose profits are, at minimum, powered by that problem, if not exacerbating the pr

Needs to be clearer. All 99% of people see is Jeff Bezos and William Shatner in cowboy hats. If it’s about moving heavy industry into space they need to spend less time talking about how much fun it is to float around in space.

That was true when Tesla wanted to start selling “fsd-ready” cars, but it’s getting cheaper all the time. Luminar has $500 lidar, Huawei says they’ll be selling $100 sensors soon.

It’s very plausible that with $350k you’re just barely paying the bills you signed up for. But it’s important to realize that the average American will make about $1.6 million TOTAL during their entire working lifetime, from teenage years t

If they supported PWAs, 90% of apps wouldn’t need a native option. Most apps are text, images, maybe some kind of media if we’re getting crazy, and buttons. Mobile web apps suck because mobile browsers make them suck. There’s no reason I ca
