NeuNeurosis··on Why Johnny Won't Upgrade
But does the Wii need updates? I mean we still play every once in a while and have never updated it.
NeuNeurosis··on Because of high unemployment benefits, businesses can't find summer workers
The only thing I would retort is that you are assuming their are only two outcomes, the incentives get realigned to allow businesses to operate under preexisting circumstances or we don't change incentives and these businesses fail. I would totally agree we need to look at behavioral outcomes, I would say that we need to look at it from the employer side and immigration side as well not just the domestic labor side.
NeuNeurosis··on Human body temperature has decreased in United States, study finds
While we don't consider that sedentary, compared to the physical nature of the majority of jobs and lives these people would still be considered sedentary. I think a better comparison would be people who are doing long distance through hikes since their time under tension is extensive and the large distances they travel each while under load would be more respective of per-industrial lifestyles.
NeuNeurosis··on How a preventable disaster killed six marines
People play lip service to hating hierarchy's but I would argue that they regularly espouse them and value them in almost all aspects of their lives. The ones they seem to hate are the faceless ones that they don't understand how they work, why they exist and who really runs them and has stakes in them. People hate facelessness especially from those in power. But they are more than happy to take orders from someone they think they can relate to, see the hate for Obama or Hilary from the right but their love of anything Trump does.
NeuNeurosis··on The Rise of the Architectural Cult
He doesn't seem kooky besides how passionate he is about how bad the architectural landscape is and how powerful a remedy it would be for reinvigorating civic life. He has some good things to say and he really is articulate about how things are and their consequences.
NeuNeurosis··on Vox Media to cut hundreds of freelance jobs ahead of California's AB5
You might do and be all those things but none of that will prevent a unforeseen life changing accident from completely debilitating you. This is the true reason for what you say is "sickcare" we are all healthy until we are not. You pay into an insurance system, private or public, to offset the risk of this occurring.

I'm not so sure this accurate or argued in good faith considering the article you linked clearly states.. "Some states are fairly conservative about what they will try to take -- they have the right to recover costs from real estate, personal property, and other assets only if they are included within the deceased person's "probate estate." A probate estate includes only assets that were owned solely by the individual at the time of death, where there is no beneficiary or joint owner designated. Joint accounts, payable on death accounts, and contracts that have designated a beneficiary are not included in the probate estate."

This clearly sets aside assets that are dedicated to a beneficiary or if the assets are jointly owned. I'm not a lawyer, so if someone is please chime in, but this would exclude pretty much anyone has a will or is still married.

I think this not a valid reason to exclude Medicare for all as an alternative to our disjointed and dysfunctional system of medicine. Also what about this precludes us from changing this feature if it was rolled out for everyone?

NeuNeurosis··on Elon Musk Hits Traffic Pylon with New Cybertruck After Dinner in Malibu
This article was very cringe worthy. The guy is straight up hating on Musk and making a big deal out of him driving around "possibly illegally". What a joke of an article.
NeuNeurosis··on Potato farmers cry foul as PepsiCo sues them
This has already happened.

NeuNeurosis··on Ask HN: What books changed the way you think about almost everything?
+1 For Zen & The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. This book lead me to accept a lot of parts of myself and seek to integrate all those parts together. I credit it with starting the journey that changed my life.
NeuNeurosis··on Ask HN: What books changed the way you think about almost everything?
I think that is why I value Non-Violent Communication so much, for its desire to be compassionate and empathetic to both your self and others while realizing that you don't just deserve to get what you want from others just because you want to feel a certain way or feel you need a certain outcome due to circumstances.
NeuNeurosis··on A small notebook for a system administrator
If you are so concerned with battery life couldn't you just get an external power backup if the machine has all the functionality you want? It seems more modular that way instead always having to lug around such extra stuff you don't need.
NeuNeurosis··on We're officially launching UBI
Just to point out this program is not involuntary. All the funds so far as I understand it, have been generated voluntarily.
