The reason is because Medicare for All is viable both politically and implementation-wise. It's been studied for decades and the bills are already written. Just phase it in by step…

My dude: Cocaptain 8.4 just dropped! You're living in the past. Don't get left behind!

> ...nobody's actually doing this? I think you're right. I am a programmer and I use GPT occasionally, and I even pay 20 bucks a month (for now), but even for my job it's not a not…

Sad news. Nuclear needs to be in the mix for an energy grid independent of fossil fuels.

Read Thomas Hobbes. Really read it and try to absorb it.

Real New Yorkers kind of loathe Times Square.

As a newcomer to Emacs in the past couple of months (my second try), I think I agree with you that it's a lot of work. But for the Emacs fans who've had success, that work pays the…

View source on this one! Wow... I never really knew when I was visiting a website transformed by XSLT This is really cool

We already give so much of our lives to earning a wage for a (most-likely) useless job. Give us some time back, at least. > It makes them feel useful and a productive member of soc…

Yes, that's what I'm saying. The commuting and associated infrastructure are wasted on most office jobs, and they're not important enough to warrant it.

Ew, yuck

Yea, but 99% of all jobs aren't important enough to demand it. The average tech startup is vastly less important than a hospital, grocery store, etc.

The government doing things is good, actually.

Innovation? Really? All meaningful advancements come from public funding of basic research. As for "purpose"...wow. Ask the next GrubHub employee that comes to your door if it give…

Who said anything about rights? We just want health care to be free at the site of service and funded by taxes. Just like fire fighters, police, etc. Every other western country do…

Health _insurance_ would ideally become a market that simply ceases to exist. It's a uniquely pathological case of market failure. I've got no love for drug company lobbyists, but …

History teaches us things can change fast. Think USSR in 1984. At some point things are going to give. We have the technical means to provide a decent life for everyone. And I mean…

How long will we Americans submit to these rent-seeking vampire insurance companies? Single-payer now, please.

$14 is pretty high, but if they actually follow through on this I think we'd see downward pressure on price.

Paying for stuff is the endgame. Not DRM, not endless ad blocker proxy wars. This is all really positive, and proof that these regulations are working, imo.

One could write a very small custom binary in C/C++/Rust that runs the command, and then give that binary setuid permissions. That binary can simply run a subprocess, and nothing e…

Very infrequently. They are definitely useful, though. Rigor and an editing process really helps. They can be a slog, but the effort is worth it since the information is reliable. …

I kind of wish capitalists would just be honest for once. This is bad for their specific business. Just come out and say that instead of making stuff up.

I wanted this too, very recently. After digging I found out the IANA maintains a list of links to relevant RFCs here: https://www.iana.org/assignments/http-authschemes/http-auths..…

I 100% agree with this. I wanted to like Matrix, and I ran synapse for a while, but the operational aspects of it are an order of magnitude more complex than XMPP. Perhaps the prob…
