That's a great point and something pxx numbers often miss. Zanzibar almost certainly has this type of behavior. More complex ACL structures under recent evaluations perform worse. I'd love to see percentile data for depth of oper

Well even more broadly it is how generalizable it is, while still providing ordering guarantees (though not necessarily perfect ones.. see my long sibling post) Using Windows style ACEs for ACLs is also perfectly scalable and consistent, (a

GP means ordering with respect to time for snapshot reads, which is essential for correctness. (You might be thinking of ordering ACEs in the ACL which isn't even a concept in Zanzibar)

The system is actually pretty complicated and nonobvious once you consider its caching layers, heavy reliance on spanner, assumption that ACL read times can be stale, and the various assumptions and limitations in the namespace controls. Th

Excellent paper. As someone who has worked with filesystems and ACLs, but never touched Spanner before, I have some questions for any Googler who has played with Zanzibar. (in part because full-on client systems examples are limited) A chec

That's not entirely true. WeChat in many ways is more impressive than whatever US equivalent is for a Chinese audience. And Didi executed far better than Uber without protectionism being in play. It's nontrivial to execute in a

Realistically, you'd walk the list with a visited set and validate you didn't visit a node twice. This would solve your problem in any realistic use case and you'd never even recognize a constant space solution was possible.

What risk pools? They can generally only consider age and family structure. I'm mid 30s, married with a kid. I'm not following why this is a subsidy per se. I can deduct health insurance premiums from my self employment after all.

by usaar333 7y ago
Not in my experience. Equivalent plans (gold level) were maybe 10% more expensive than my employer plan (Cobra rates). Also what subsidy are you referring to? Could you cite some data?

That's been happening almost everywhere for the last half century. Plenty of places are below replacement population growth.

Is there solid data out here that this is true? My COBRA premiums last year were quoted at a bit over $1700; a Gold PPO (a slightly better plan) on Covered CA goes for $1900. This is in the range of "not that different". What is

That's not a symptom of health care being a natural monopoly. That's a symptom of a lack of price transparency. 1. Laws can correct this. 2. A large segment of consumers paying out of pocket would also result in competitive pressu

So $1400/month needs to be raised? That's less than what my COBRA premiums were; sign me up!

They also care about wait times. And drivers care about utilization. "Taxi apps" definitely have network effects from the two sided market, though not as strong as a social network.

You might be thinking of ISOs. Ordinary income tax is due at exercise of a non qualified option (NQSO), which CA will tax. Same is true with RSU releases.

Even if you move, California taxes subsequent NQSO exercises if the options vested while working on California.

I'm not even sure how they calculate capital gain. If I do maintenance on my house, are the authors viewing that as raising the basis?

Per paper, it's 0.9% real capital gain return since 1950 in the US. That's smaller than the 1.9% real gdp per capita of the US since 1950, meaning people are actually spending a lower percentage of income toward housing. (mind you

Agreed. By "people" above, I should have clarified "adults". The issue is that it is very difficult for adults to learn new phonemes (individual units of sound that distinguish words from each other) - an adult hearing
