That was my point, people think increased coverage will cost us more in aggregate, but most studies show that if everyone were covered under a large single payer or natural heath plan it would be cheaper overall! I don’t really care about t

How is it off topic? This guy is surviving in the good graces of his former employer. Off they pulled the contract, he’d be pretty fucked. In America, this is because without a job you don’t have healthcare unless you pay out the ass for it

Yea and moderation is an absolute horrible minefield these days. You will always have someone complaining they’re being moderated out of the discussion, whether they are or not.

Too bad America doesn’t have nationalized health insurance for everyone. The only argument against it that I can see is that people think standards of care will decrease. Decrease from what? From more people having insurance! They want some

Leaseholds are very common in Hawaii due to similar ownership, although here it’s privately owned land by native orgs in most cases, because the Hawaiians specifically voted down reservation-like agreements to maintain what sovereignty they

I still use nano! The nice part about it is that it shows the command keys at the bottom. I forget what it is to exit, but I don’t need to remember!

Makes sense, I drive in the sim way way more than real life and I get sick in the car now due to visual differences. My spouse has to drive most places.

The first amendment gives you the right to say what you want free of us government interference but doesn’t say anything about people thinking you’re an asshole because you repeat the oldest joke in technology.

I use CSVs for a living but I rarely read them manually. I’d rather have ASCII than Unicode in my CSVs. My point above, though, is that everyone has opinions and you don’t have to be a dickhead about “correcting” them.

What about those who have Google phones, run Chrome on everything, have those Google audio pods, Google branded email, Google TVs, etc? Some people are fanboys of Linux products, and all their shit runs Linux or some other Unix or BSD (more

The OP was probably assuming no human would want to actually read a CSV raw, and so was probably correct from their POV. Your POV is probably from someone who reads CSVs raw. You don't have to be so rude about it, you're being eve

I am not a fanboy, but I do use Apple products. They are pretty excellent, and every feature you stated is available within their ecosystem, and more. Their stuff is expensive but it works pretty well together and I've had nearly no is

Tires are somewhere near the top for distributing microplastics and heavier cars cause more tire wear, so yea we should get on that. I live next to a main road and we run filters in our house and have to wash the surfaces at least once a we

Where do you base your argument that the consumer should be the one to choose? For many generations, you didn’t have a dozen choices for what bowl to buy, you just bought the bowls available. Why today do we defer to the consumer, whose onl

There have always been people who have thought themselves better or more worthy than those they felt were beneath them, and there always will be. The solution is not allowing any one person to collect more resources or power than the rest.

So you have a study? Because I’ve seen way more people who think readability in code is paramount, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen the take that it’s usually never read again.

Is there a programming language that compiles into any of the various kernel languages like Metal, CUDA, whatever AMD has, etc? If not, why not? We have C compilers that compile to various CPU architectures. Shouldn’t there be a compiler to

Exactly, just have to move it a bit. I owned an old Fiat when I was a teenager so I was lucky to learn how to drive a car without assists. I prefer the assists most of the time though!

Thanks for that info! We don’t have any air conditioning, I live in a place where it ranges from 50-85 F throughout the year, rarely below 60 though. I’m trying not to install HVAC or heat until we have solar and storage installed that can

Yea, we were only allowed the tools on the ISO of one specific distribution even for the workstations! It was a secure closed network for testing stuff. My scripts were probably just a worse ansible. Occasionally I would threaten the server
