Medical Loss Ratio (MLR) is capped at 85% in the US which means 85% of revenue must go to patients. This is roughly inline with other countries with universal healthcare (MLR ranges from 85-95%).

The fundamental problem is that we don’t have enough resources to take care of everyone. Insurance companies are faced with the impossible task of allocating resources and making care/nocare decisions.

I don’t get the “endless profiteering” angle against insurance companies. If anything it’s the providers who are screwing over patients by gaming insurance and taking more than is necessary from the shared insurance pool of money.

* Climb v7 consistently + one arm pull up.

* 100+ monthly listeners on Spotify.

The signal to noise of these videos is horrendous.

The top posts on twitter are pictures of lense flares next to the biblical angel Thrones. The next 10 posts are clearly fake or debunked videos of planes.

I’ve yet to see any kind of pattern emerge after two weeks so I’m convinced this is a garbage story at this point.

GP was responding to a hypothetical situation where the military does not care about the law and supports the president unconditionally. In this situation does the 2nd amendment make sense?

There’s no way this is true. Why not use more bolts it makes no sense.

Anything, except for practical applications that people actually use.

* music production software * discord * games * copy and pasting

The democrats have done many things that are undemocratic.

* tried to remove trump from the ballot on Colorado * triple digit amount of filings from the justice department against a political opponent * refuse to remove rfk junior from the ballot

They’re unfilled because they don’t want to pay competitive wages.

Obesity 5% to 42%, Alzheimer’s 0% to 33% in the last century.

I think there’s a balance between being neurotic and being blissfully ignorant, but given the high level health data in the west it’s probably time to be more neurotic.

So does every social media website except for niche forums.

Reddit has transitioned into 100% propaganda mode. Every single post and comment is political astroturfing.

Does Java 23 have coroutines?

Checked exceptions with lambdas are a nightmare from what I remember.

Doesn’t it depend on the time scale?

If we are talking about pre-globalization many countries are no longer have a majority “native” population. (US, Japan, Taiwan, parts of Europe) and that is just the reality of human history.

I think we have to decide on a time when the back and fourth geocoding between groups is no longer acceptable. Most of the world thinks it’s around the end of ww2 and the start of globalization, but are you contending that it should be later, and the Arabs should take back Israel?

How is it ethnically cleansed if 20% of the Israeli population is native?

No, the most important thing is not causing a collision.

We don’t need to guess here, Waymo is way safer than human drivers as a car and a pedestrian. So clearly optimizing for “not confusing human drivers” is not correct.

Human drivers frequently run into stationary objects and plow over bikers/pedestrians so maybe there’s a huge category of situations where they *should* be surprised

Safety is the thing we care about.

Let’s not get caught up handwringing about predictability since it’s very possible that being less predictive is safer overall.

We have the safety data to prove that Waymo is safer than human drivers, so I don’t think this predictability thing is that important afterall.

This is disturbing. Most of social media is promoting unrealistic aesthetic standards, fitness might be the one aesthetic standard you can actually control with hard work, but yes lets ban that one.

* not restricting plastic surgery content * not restricting skincare content * not restricting fashion content

Then they should ban makeup and fashion channels as well.

Most of the fitness content I see is focused on correct form and training technique and not on physique.

Timescale of years.

Correct tongue posture is a thing, much like sitting up straight it’s not going to change your life overnight but generally a good thing long term.

No its breathing through your nose which forces your tongue to the roof of your mouth, this provides support to your nasal cavity and can change the entire shape of your face over time.

Mewing is essentially slang for correct tongue posture. Look up myofunctional therapy if you’re curious.

Why? There’s actual science behind the benefits of breathing through your nose.

If the EU wants to arrest someone they can submit an extradition request which the US will approve or deny after reviewing. The EU can also already arrest individuals whom are found to be criminals.

You are suggesting a totally new weapon for EU law enforcement which is to imprison individuals who are not found guilty of a crime because they work for a company that owes the EU money. That sounds a bit insane to me, I think if the EU wants to collect their fine they should find a more diplomatic approach that does not equate to a literal war crime [1]

We’re talking about xx million dollar dispute between allied countries, it’s not a reasonable method of conflict resolution to start throwing people in cages that work for x company until the EU gets their way.

> what do you mean “did not commit”

It’s standard around the world that employees are not held personally responsible for the crimes of the corporation they work for.

Edit: if we’re talking about an individual US citizen that’s found guilty in the EU, then the EU will go through the extradition process to have them arrested.

Arresting tourists for crimes they did not commit is hostage taking and could be considered an act of war.

The US is willing to prison swap terrorists with Russia, we definitely wouldn’t tolerate some EU country (that we spend billions of dollars defending) arbitrarily arresting tourists so they can hold a foreign company hostage.

Even if they didn’t know it should be their responsibility to know regardless

It’s standard practice when dealing with huge volumes of shares to sell over a long period of time, we’re not forcing them to sell everything 10 mins before taxes are due.

They will be incentivized to do this otherwise they will get nothing for their shares.

We would see a redistribution of wealth as the middle class buys the new shares.

It’s a closed system at the end of the day so the wealth isn’t vanishing into thin air.

The government will spend the money regardless. Does the money come from

1. inflation - a regressive tax that disproportionately takes from the poor

2. taxation as a % of wealth - takes from everyone equally

The fact is the rich pay a WAY lower tax rate, we can spend the next 1000 years playing legal cat and mouse over how to tax these people but it doesn’t get us closer to option 2 unless the government gets aggressive about collecting tax.
