Musk has a history of overblown promises in AI. In April of 2017, he said that a Tesla would be able to drive from "a parking lot in California to a parking lot in New York, no controls touched at any point during the entire journey" (https://electrek.co/2017/04/29/elon-musk-tesla-plan-level-5-full-autonomous-driving/).

Spoiler: it did not.

I grew up with the original trilogy. I'm not sure how to back this up without listing a bunch of ridiculous examples, but it's safe to say I'm a fan of the series.

I really liked The Last Jedi. It's not perfect, but I enjoyed it. I understand how a lifetime can cause someone (Luke) to change his perspective from hopeful to embittered. I understand failing to meet the expectations of your youth.

I liked Rose, and the adventure to Canto Bight.

Do I count?

If you're referring to a summons, usually it is done through certified mail, which is a service of the USPS. Further, all service after the initial service is done via first class mail. That is changing in some areas of some states due to efiling, but service by USPS is still a critical part of the infrastructure on which the legal system depends.

I think that the argument was that you could leave your job and become self-employed or join a small business without a company plan. I did that. I left my job to start my own business, and I insure myself and my family through the marketplace.

It has not been a particularly pleasant experience. While yes, I am able to get insurance, the marketplace has an extremely limited number of options. For 2014, I had 3 choices in my state. For 2015, it's better and bigger, but choice basically amounts to "choose your hospital system."

The worst part, though, has been the repeated bureaucratic barriers the system puts into place. First, I had to prove the citizenship of me, my wife, and my children. Our birth certificates were not initially accepted as proof. After a back and forth with the Marketplace, I eventually convinced them that we were, in fact, citizens of the US. I should note that for at least four generations from me and my wife, our ancestors were born in the US. It's probably more than four.

The issue we continue to battle, though, is "proof of income." My income decreased dramatically -- it was to be expected as I went from a dependable salary to starting my own business. Every few months, I get a request from the marketplace to submit a W-2. After getting on the phone and explaining that I'm self-employed, I get asked to submit an income ledger. As I am an attorney, many of my financial transactions are legally privileged and I am not permitted to disclose them except in a general sense. The first several times I submitted my self-employment ledger, it was rejected on the grounds that it did not contain sufficient information. Additional calls followed, and I have some small hope that my most recent submission (done this month) will be accepted without further objection.

In any case, someone who says that it's easier to start your own business now than before may be technically correct (the best kind of correct), but it's no cakewalk now.

I tend to agree with this. It seems odd that a lot of people want there to have been a compromise by a government -- it seems at least as likely to me that the developer just didn't want to work on TC anymore and would like it to go away.

It does indeed appear to be OpenBSD only at present (from http://www.libressl.org/ ):

This is where the debate ends. The Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act passed in 1986 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_Medical_Treatment_and_Active_Labor_Act) made the US a single payer system, we just haven't been honest about it. Because of this law, anyone who enters the ER with an emergency must be treated. If the person does not have an emergency, they may be sent away; however, if they have an actual condition (e.g. cancer), the hospital must treat it later when it is worse and an actual emergency.

I dislike the concept of the government being the purveyor of healthcare for philosophical reasons -- because if it provides it, it is at least implied that it can take it away. It also gives the government essential control over the medical profession (again, if you're the only payer, you can set the rules). The government manages to mess up most things it touches. That said, the current situation is both morally and economically untenable. At some point, reality and practicality triumph over philosophy. Everyone is living longer, and nearly everyone is going to need some form of long term care. The only economically efficient way to handle that is to have a single payer. Or let them die.

Indeed it is taken totally out of context -- it's from pg 4 of the article, talking about a library called d3.js, which is apparently a library "to make things move on the screen"

In what jurisdiction are you speaking? In every place I'm aware of in the US the plaintiff does receive the damages.
