Zero-indexed versus one-indexed. You all know which is the right one

What's the derogatory term for boat foamers?

Disclaimer: I think the current U.S healthcare system is hilariously bad and should be heavily reformed.

Insurance is not a bad thing, and there is a clear product involved in it. To demonstrate, you can go to a doctor in the U.S and pay in cash for the treatment. As I've understood it, you can even negotiate lower prices than the list prices if you are paying in cash. Still, it's probably going to be expensive to the point of potential financial ruin.

This is the product that insurance offers in any domain it operates - buying your way out of risks you cannot accept. Fundamentally, the concept is sound, albeit very poorly implemented in the case of U.S healthcare.

It's basically just a bunch of people pooling their money together and having that pool of money pay in the case of an adverse event.

One of the primary alternatives to the mess that is U.S healthcare today is in fact another form of insurance - it's just that enrollment would be mandatory and as such the risk spreading would be as uniform as possible, along with subsidies for people carrying higher amounts of risk. That's fundamentally what universal healthcare is in other countries.

This is the ideal web design. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

Just close it entirely before you flush, people. The fact that there's a debate between fully open and half-open when both are inferior is baffling.

It's highly unlikely that this app even comes up on the radar insofar as competing with Google Maps.

The answer is probably more mundane - an automated system made an incorrect call. It keeps happening when it comes to these Play Store app reviews.

It's a tool like any other, appropriate under some circumstances and inappropriate in others.

Blindly rejecting it without considering whether it's appropriate in the context is honestly just as bad as choosing it without considering whether it's appropriate in the context, fwiw.

Wow, this is just entirely wrong. Completely and utterly wrong.

Sweden has a maximum of around 55% income tax bracket if you're in a municipality with high income tax, but billionaires never are and as such would be taxed probably at most 50% income tax bracket.

This is of course entirely irrelevant because billionaires don't make their money on income. Sweden has fairly low capital gains taxes - 30% on regular accounts, and a special account that taxes the whole account value by a low percentage, which shakes out in average years to even lower taxes on capital. This assumes you even keep your capital in the country, which is a big if.

There's also no inheritance tax, no gift tax and no property tax. Sweden is actually an unusually good place to be a billionaire as far as taxation goes, and a below average place to earn a high salary as far as taxation goes.

Among the ways you can do layoffs, this is one of the better ones for sure. People who are kind of checked out already anyway can get a nice paycheck on their way out and start looking for something new, while people who still have something important to get out of the job get the option to stay.

Consent matters!

Wow, this article is just like 100% wrong. I'm surprised no one has mentioned this yet.

To get why this could be a problem for YouTube Vanced’s successors, we need to understand how they work. Rather than modding the YouTube app itself, Vanced apps are essentially tweaked and modded browsers that display videos via a WebView that shows YouTube, adding extra features to the experience like adblock and other YouTube Premium perks. If YouTube was able to check which apps or devices are trying to access its servers before displaying content, this would be an easy route to stop Vanced successors from working.

The YouTube-app, and Revanced in turn, does not utilize a WebView to display video. They are most certainly not 'modded browsers'.

Seriously, who wrote this shit? An AI? It's baffling.

Yank tanks truly are the peakest of cringe. I'd be embarrassed to show up in one of those things

Cars should be taxed based on their potential for road wear, which is calculated approximately by their weight to the fourth power.

Adding such a tax, where every vehicle paya relative to what they do to the road surface they roll on, would instantly make all SUVs unviable. It would also increase the incentives for shipping freight by rail by an incredible amount.
