In the US if I want to see my primary care doctor I need to wait 2 months for the appointment. I pay $500 per month for the privilege (and a $50 copay) So I’m paying $1000 in the time period where I’m getting no service.

My car hits the api for my power company and knows how much charge it needs and plans out its charging schedule, always avoids peak.

But we really don’t have to “draw the line” anywhere, it’s not an issue. It’s a nothing burger. Any benefits such as they might be fall well within the standard deviation of females and so the argument that’s it’s unsafe or unfair doesn’t f

The problem for this argument is that there is no actual data that trans kids and specifically trans girls are any better at sport than other girls. Literally no trans athletes winning anything. I think hacker news skews scientific so we ca

Putin is very popular in Russia. As a Russian you have to be aware of that right? As for Prigozhin what happened to him? I didn't see a lot of mourning or protests when he got knocked off. Propaganda in the US likes to focus on the ide

Instead of a cluster of grenades think many drones, the numbers start looking pretty bad when you have 100s of drones rather than a couple of missiles.

A terrible idea, you think the Russians are going to appreciate you killing their leader? A better idea is to try to get Russia to join the EU and use an open market to exert control over the more extreme behaviors and tendencies in Russia.

I think you are failing to understand how (some) people think in the US. Expensive oil for some means that we should drill more oil wells. There is money sitting under the ground and we stick a pipe down and get it - AMAZING. That is how pe

Ok, so I guess the litmus test is asking someone born in 1814 did they think they were living in a place that was changing fast - and I think you'd find a very similar answer, thats my point. Industrial revolution - was a very very big

I would push back on that concept a bit. I think if you lived in the Cotswolds in say 1920 you would be agog with the pace of change. Bicycles, industry, exploration the world even literacy. Everything around you was changing and the idea t

Tolkien really was a serious reactionary. I’m not a fan of cars or environmental damage but the idyll that he puts on a pedestal just didn’t exist for the vast majority of humans in Britain (let alone elsewhere in the world)

90% of the coal that was being used comes from Colombia, thats not really even that far guys and I'm sure it's mined under the most stringent environmental controls.

This. Fossil fuels are not cheap in Ireland, I think we only produce a small quantity of natural gas, everything else is imported. Ireland should be running towards renewables, we have no indigenous fossil fuels industry to lose and every w

When you take quality into account it’s no contest. You literally can’t buy American beef in the EU because it is so contaminated with hormones and antibiotics.

Europe has a very robust, high quality and cheap food system. Food is extremely high quality, environment is managed and wealth is distributed with support for small farmers. High quality food is a fraction in Europe of what you pay in the

The fact that people expect a data object, as argued by the author, is a very strong argument in favor of having one. Onboarding new programmers to your codebase and making the codebase simpler for developers to reason about is a massive no

Why would u need exactly once semantics if the workflow is idempotent? You specifically need exactly once when the action you are doing is not idempotent.

"Exactly-Once Event Processing" is the headline claim - I actually missed the workflow starting bit. So what happens if the workflow fails? Does it get restarted (and so we have twice-started) or does the entire workflow just fail

How do the employment prospects compare to other Spanish cities? It's one thing to say prioritise quality jobs but it seems breaking the mold in one dimension is hard enough, but to do it for 2 dimensions at the same time is pretty tou

Right, you propagate it for a specific reason presumably, because you think it teaches them something about something even if it might not be true. So that is your reason there. I'm just interested in the undercurrent of why people see

what? It is not being presented as a tall tale or a sarcastic joke. It's being presented as fact. I'm merely asking why people feel the need to make up stories and to propagate stories that are untrue. That is a question I am genu

This is less historical record than medieval propaganda piece. I get that it was written as such but even the article at the beginning pretends it’s an accurate representation of what the king got up to and then towards the end tacitly adm

Oh god. I’ve met some seriously incompetent people when interviewing - to the point where I’m glad they are the one conducting the interview cause I never want to work with them. I’ve actually finished an interview where I was the candidate
