Supremacy requires wanting to do inate over others. The right to have your nations and your interests heard, talked and satisfied is not supremacy, it's what every population can do but the white one. Also it's 2019, your device should be synced and can tell you the current year

At least you can talk about it without being expelled by webhosts, communities, payment processors, etc You even get invited to cool events with world leaders. Not a bad gig.

Imagine being one of those preoccupied with the collapse of white population worldwide and western civilization in general. Now, those guys really have a reason to be depressed, and if they look for mental health's help, most therapists would probably refer them to the police. If they talk about it, banks will ban them and so will web hosts and such stuff. They're marked and targeted, with harassment and violence, by the police and leftists thugs.

As long as you have a big community to support you, you can't complain that much, even if the world is gonna collapse. Because maybe humanity kinda deserves it.

That's why I gave it back after a week. That and updates.

Open the market. Liberalize the selling and buying of healing goods and services. Abolish patents. You can even keep some certification of ability and quality, as long as they're on point (no 6 years training for stitches), specific, free and unlimited in number.

Put current psychopats behind the medical industry under death penalty as a warning for future generations. Seems harsh but they killed hundreds of thousands, maybe millions, and all for unjust profit. They deserve it.

80% cancers cured in max 20 years. No more threads on hacker news about people going around like dogs begging for a decent diagnosys. Stem cells for every need at costco, top quality. Problem solved.

It's humanity being painted in a corner, but it's very specific groups of people doing it. Most humanity is also not evolutionary trained in fighting issues, but it's really good at fighting people.

Now, if only scientists could learn how to point fingers...

You could buy the services of an expert in medical decision-making who will negotiate for you when you're incapacitated.

Also, supposedly people aren't total dicks. At the moment the healthcare industry rewards a lot of psychos due to its incentives. Hopefully with a free market the dicks would be weeded out due to increased choices. Also having a free market means that there would be an incentive to make medicine more accessible, while still correct, because more people could be willing to become healers, maybe specialized healers. Who knows, what's certain is that we have not discovered the full potential of humans healing other humans and the current regulations are a big brake on new systems and innovations.

So, for now I'm ok with the whole single-payer/universal healthcare deal.

It's not libertarian. The US system is cronyism, statism at its finest, possibly illegal. Honestly, I think with current US laws and a willing political force, a lot of top players in the current US healthcare system could be punished, even with the death penalty (especially if reinstated at the federal level).

Dreams aside, in order to have a free market healthcare, which is what informed libertarians want, you need to abolish medical license, the FDA, patents and many other State's interventions. There is a reason why the healthcare system in the US is insane, and it's because the laws are made so that cronies have the monopoly on your health. Neocons are pathetic when they defend the current system.

Without the free market (the real one, not the scam you have in the US), healthcare will be a mess more than any other industry and at that point is better to have a single payer, universal system, because in the end they have the same problems of the current US system but at least you don't get ruined.

The State seizes money from productive people and puts them into things that sounds good, like "tourism". This way they create a problem that then they also force themselves in chsrge of solving, seizing even more money and invading the lives of citizens and business

Pathetic as usual. First economic development had to be the gateway, now Hong Kong. These overpaid, overtitled intellectuals have no ability to understand the world. They live in fantasy land, probably because everything went well in their life, after all they're in that position, and are surrounded by others like them. I wish they would just shut up, they're only doing damages. I also wish HN users were smart enough to not upvoting such inferiors editorials only because they come from publications whose reputation probably never respected the quality of the content. The internet is full of blogs with pieces that show real human nature, from people who are sane and not privileged, ungrateful, deluded bootlickers.

Social media is also tied to your identity. Sites like HN let you be anonymous and in any case your name and face isn't plastered on every post.

There is no debate about cashless honestly, it's like debating if raping children should be legal or not, except that without cash you easily get to a society where powerful people rule the world (see Epstein). Those who argue against cash should be seen with suspicion and removed from their positions of power if they have any. I'd say even jail time should be considered when it comes to anti-cash lobbying, using the same penalty currently used by enslaved but multiplied by the total population.

Sounds absurd? Sounds like too much? It's the only way to keep those tyrannical maniacs in check.

When I want to understand something I don't read a book, I read multiple books about a topic. I did this and got quite informed about many useless topics (energy industry, austrian economics, history of science). Instead if I jump topics from one book to the next, I lose basically everything. Also if you re-read books after some time, you get new insights.

As for programming (probably for anything you treat as a profession), I've noticed that you cannot beat practice, but if the topic is new to you, it's better to read the whole book first. It's much faster because you see what to expect and don't waste time when you practice on stuff that is easy and not as powerful as something else. Also you don't waste comfiguring tools only to discover that the tech doesn't really interest you anyway.

I really like youtube recs. I have different accounts for different interests and the recommendations are always on point. I don't understand why so many people from the media complain. I think they just don't like that youtube recommends non-mainstream channels too.

They just had to keep themselves out of politics, but they did not and now they're hated from the left and the right.

A table of contents may make codebases easier to read. I have no problem reading code from systems I know well, because I know how to move. Other codebases I don't know where to start

More than one time I bought organic and there wasn't a big difference. Fruit quality and taste is so random that in the end I buy the cheapest

Another gift from the State to a big corporation. Since basically only big corps get advantages from patents I think it's time to abolish it
