oneneptune commented on ACA health insurance will cost the average person 75% more next year   npr.org/sections/shots-he... · Posted by u/geox

Yeah but if NPR is defunded then this isn’t a story. /s

The article sometimes throws in the term Obamacare — is it still popularly called that? And do most Americans know it’s the same thing?

oneneptune · a month ago
Entirely anecdotal: most Americans don't really get it. When people sign up for health insurance through HealthCare.gov, they're just picking a plan and paying their monthly bill. The website doesn't really make it front and center that it's ACA.

People may think they're paying full price because they make some monthly premium payment... which isn't true, as either the government subsidizes a portion of the premium, or you're getting group rates that are way cheaper than if you tried to buy insurance on your own. So even "full price" is receiving a form of subsidization through the operation of the program.

The disconnect is that the media and politicians talk about Obamacare like it's this free healthcare giveaway, so people who pay anything assume they're not on it. They could literally be using the ACA marketplace with 0 understanding that it's "Obamacare". Most people just perceive ACA as government overreach into healthcare, not realizing they're benefiting.

I'm sure it's by design.

One doesn’t need to wonder why Apple couldn’t get something done. Apple seems to be in dire need of a shakeup at the top level, but seems to be incapable of seeing the need for that or being able to do that.

From the outside, it looks like there are just power struggles and fiefdoms held by the old guard that have resulted in the stagnation and the worsening quality across its operating systems. Even today you cannot search and find all the things in the Settings app on iOS, which has been a longstanding issue. ScreenTime is totally broken since iOS 18 and shows tons of minutes of apps that I open for just one minute everyday. There are many more irritating old bugs as well as new bugs being added regularly.

The recently rumored to be forthcoming “26” numbering of all its operating systems and the cementing of annual releases with new feature addition doesn’t bode well for improving quality. The way Apple’s software teams have been working, a tick-tock cycle of improvements followed by stabilizing every other year is the only way things can get a little better. That’s a pipe dream for me anyway.

I would wager sky.app will find themselves acquired by Apple before the end of 2026.

Check your browser extensions and add-ons.

The title and body text have a 15.52:1 contrast ratio with the background, which is acceptable by all accessibility standards.

The subtitle and background have a 5.32:1 contrast ratio with the background. This would be considered acceptable by most accessibility standards, though I would like it around 9:1.

Explicitly calling out that they are not going to train on enterprise's data and SOC2 compliance is going to put a lot of the enterprises at ease and embrace ChatGPT in their business processes.

From our discussions with enterprises (trying to sell our LLM apps platform), we quickly learned how sensitive enterprises are when it comes to sharing their data. In many of these organizations, employees are already pasting a lot of sensitive data into ChatGPT unless access to ChatGPT itself is restricted. We know a few companies that ended up deploying chatbot-ui with Azure's OpenAI offering since Azure claims to not use user's data (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/legal/cognitive-services/o...).

We ended up adding support for Azure's OpenAI offering to our platform as well as open-source our engine to support on-prem deployments (LLMStack - https://github.com/trypromptly/LLMStack) to deal with the privacy concerns these enterprises have.

I've been maintaining SOC2 certification for multiple years, and I'm here to say that it's largely performative and an ineffective indicator of security posture.

The SOC2 framework is complex and compliance can be expensive. This can lead organizations to focus on ticking the boxes rather than implementing meaningful security controls.

SOC2 is not a good universal metric for understanding an organization's security culture. It's frightening that this is the best we have for now.

We have a multi-region single-write-leader Postgres offering now, but "databases" means lots of things to lots of people, and the platform strategy is to build durable storage primitives that work for as many different databases as possible. People run things like Cockroach here, and edge deployment also makes SQLite especially interesting.
oneneptune · 2 years ago
a bit off topic, but a big struggle that is growing related to data and databases; managing data residency. I've not found an easy way to handle this and countries seem to be passing more and more laws... it's tough for global applications!

> Because it is not TOPICS that are censored. It is BEHAVIOR.

> (This is why people on the left and people on the right both think they are being targeted)

An enticing idea but simply not the case for any popular existing social network. And it's triply not true on yishan's reddit which both through administrative measures and moderation culture targets any and all communities that do not share the favoured new-left politics.

oneneptune · 3 years ago
Can you elaborate with an example? I'm unfamiliar with reddit and it's content management. I'm unsure if the premise of "AI" moderation is true, how it could moderate beyond a pattern or behavior since it can't reasonably be scanning every post and comment for political affiliation?

Are there solid Slack-style self-hosted alternatives? (The gitlab of the slack world, to be clear.)
oneneptune · 7 years ago
Atlassian, the folks behind bitbucket, jira, and (now) trello have a self hosted product: https://www.atlassian.com/software/hipchat

They also have a Slack alternative, called Stride.

90 hours/week = 18 hours/day (assuming 5-day work week). That leaves only 6 hours for other chores, travel and sleep. This is not sustainable.

So I'll assume people who can pull off a 90-hour work week work all 7 days of the week which would amount to 13 hours/day. That still leaves sufficient time for a 7-hour sleep and 4 hours of chores and entertainment.

Now, if you are your own boss where you decide the scope and the deadlines, the work is going to be fun and I can understand that you would not mind working 13 hours/day. But I don't think working 13 hours/day for a boss or a company that considers me a cost in a business transaction of buying my skills is going to be fun.

oneneptune · 8 years ago
To provide an anecdote for the effect this has on your life. I worked 70+ hours minimum (106 was my "record") for 5 years and averaged 4 hours and 45 minutes of sleep per night. It was spread out over 6 days a week which made it a little easier.. but it wasn't worth it.

I couldn't keep any intimate relationship, pretty much just dated very casually over that time.

Rarely saw my family.

Saw my friends so infrequently, that I may as well have lived 2,000 miles away. It was a big event any time I saw them which was usually once every 2-3 months.

My blood pressure reached full blown hypertension levels and I needed medication.

It's not a healthy way to live and I've undoubtedly erased years from the end of my life as a result. I don't care how motivated or passionate you are about what you do, this work load isn't sustainable and will forever be a "Dark Ages" era of my own life.

Not that it's much better, but I thought iOS now required 6 digits going forward?
