Off topic, but your comment reminded me of this exchange from the movie, The Pink Panther Strikes Again (1976) with Peter Sellers as Inspector Clouseau:
Clouseau: Does your dog bite?
Hotel Clerk: No.
Clouseau: [bowing down to pet the dog] Nice doggie.
[Dog barks and bites Clouseau in the hand]
Clouseau: I thought you said your dog did not bite!

You are either (a) really flexible or (b) have really good friends with you all the time. If just "a" then the upside is that you're probably not using the phone while driving...
For example, Ubuntu 16.10 uses the letter "Y" -- "Yakkety Yak". The next version of the operating system will use the letter "Z" [and] Canonical has chosen "Zesty Zapus"...
Version 17 will use the letter "Z" and yet there are 26 letters in the alphabet. Hmm... Did I miss a Sesame Street episode somewhere?
Americans are addicted to their jobs. U.S. workers not only put in more hours than workers do almost anywhere else. They're also increasingly retiring later and taking fewer vacation days,...
Perhaps we're just afraid of being unemployed and destitute. Employers show little loyalty to their employees (Pro Tip: If your company says "employees are our most valuable asset" start looking for another job.), the social safety net is not as strong as in Europe and it's clear that our politicians don't really care about the poor and (arguably) middle class -- look at the various budgets, including the latest Republican House budget which gets 62% from low/moderate income programs while also including tax cuts for the wealthy. (see below).
Socialized medicine doesn't somehow equate to free and unlimited health care. We could spend 100% of GDP on health care and people would still eventually get to a point where there's nothing that can be done.
The most obvious are that taxpayers shouldn't be forced to subsidize the consequences if your unhealthy lifestyle.
People need to be more realistic about medical outcomes and doctors need to be more straight-forward with patents. According to many articles, a LOT of health care spending in on (usually) elderly people during their last year of life. From the articles mentioned below: (Google: end of life care costs:
Medicare, the health insurance program for the elderly, spends nearly 30 percent of its budget on beneficiaries in their final year of life. Slightly more than half of Medicare dollars are spent on patients who die within two months.
But the costs of patients in critical care with chronic disease and multi-organ failure — heavily the elderly and those for whom death is a common but not an immediate outcome — are exceedingly high. The top 5 percent of such patients account for nearly half of spending (more than $600 billion a year),... Those patients are typically the ones whose doctors do not level with them or their families that their chances are not good, and who are put in hospice programs much later than they should be.
My wife Susan died, literally in my arms, on Jan 13, 2006 of brain tumor, just seven weeks after diagnosis. She had a Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM), for which (basically) no one lives past two years and even that is with constantly declining quality of life, and it was right next to her brain stem. As a result, she declined surgery as it wouldn't have extended her life by much and would have left her severely impaired - she didn't want to live or be remembered like that.
“All Simple Choice plans in the same category (like Silver) have exactly the same core benefits, deductibles and co-payments,” states a message to be displayed on the federal website. “When viewing Simple Choice plans, you can focus on other important features that may be different: monthly premiums, additional services covered, doctor and hospital networks.”
Under the standardized version of a silver plan, co-payments would be $30 for a visit to a primary care doctor, $65 for a visit to a specialist, $15 for a generic prescription drug, $50 for a preferred brand-name drug and $100 for a non-preferred brand-name drug. Consumers may be responsible for up to 40 percent of the cost of specialty drugs, including certain high-cost medicines for cancer, rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis.
For the lowest-income families, the charges would be lower.
Yeah, if I robbed a bank as part of a gang and told the police that I was only along for the ride as a journalist and should be immune from charges, I kinda expect they'd not let me go. Can't feel too sorry for the journalist if she was actively trespassing.
Is your day job robbing banks or reporting news? Her day job is being a journalist, not protesting. She was there to cover the protest and protesters. If a reporter is embedded with solders and those solders commit a crime, is the reporter also guilty? Are they responsible for not stopping the crime?
Reporters are, for good or bad, only supposed to cover events, not be part of them.
"Affordable" in the Affordable Care Act is very much akin to "unlimited" in unlimited bandwidth in a mobile phone contract. It's not so much an adjective as it is a branding label.
Still. Every insurance plan has an out-of-pocket maximum and the law prevents life-time limits on benefits. While it's possible for deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums to be quite high, I'm dubious about the claim, "depleted his savings and insurance benefits" -- unless he's not good at managing his own money. To be fair, the summary did say this happened over 18 months, so there could be some cost build up due to his case exceeding a calendar year and the deductible and out-of-pocket fees being reset (I don't know if it works that way for a continuing treatment).
Actually it's just a case of what-goes-around-comes-around. Some of the women have explicitly stated that they were motivated to come out by his denials during the second debate.
Poetic justice, IMO, after featuring Blll Clinton's accusers as the centerpiece of his strategy last weekend. He's outraged that anyone would be interested in the same accusations against him.
“The establishment and their media neighbors wield control over this nation through means that are very well known — anyone who challenges their control is deemed a sexist, a racist, a xenophobe and morally deformed,” Mr. Trump said. “They will seek to destroy everything about you, including your reputation. They will lie, lie, lie, and then again, they will do worse than that. They will do whatever’s necessary.” [emphasis mine]
And *anyone* that challenges Trump... um, well... pretty much the same thing.
[ He -- and the RNC (establishment) and Fox News (media neighbors) -- really shouldn't be casting these stones. ]
Sure, and thanks for the detailed explanation (I've never voted by mail) but the fact remains that your name / signature and your vote are available together, should someone wish to snoop - at the processing center. It may be difficult to ascertain the vote from within the sealed envelope, but it doesn't mean it's impossible. It all boils down to trust -- as long as that trust can be monitored and verified.

Dennis Hambek, a former branch manager in West Yakima, Washington, sent a certified letter in January 2006 to Carrie Tolstedt, then Wells Fargo's head of regional banking, outlining unethical "gaming" activity at area branches. In 2007, Tolstedt was made the company's head of community banking, the division where many of the unethical practices occurred.
Another person failed to understand the phrase: "don't give them any ideas".

By definition those things are without bias. You have no idea what you are talking about.
If your algorithm decides that women are less likely to repay loans and thus should be less likely to have one, or that men under the age of 30 should not be granted car insurance. It is not a success, it's a news story waiting to ruin your reputation. Irrespective of what the data says, it is a bias to any outward observer.
If the algorithm make an initial decision this based on statistics, then it's doing its job correctly -- however, if it's based *solely* on those statistics and fails to account for the specific individual, then it fails. In general, men under 30 have higher rates of car accidents, but not all men do. Generalizations are not absolutes. As K said, "A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals..."

You highlight one of the problems: too much complexity. Nobody should have to worry about "deductibles" or "calendar years" or any of that shit.
Things are about to get a little simpler. According to this NY Times article: HealthCare.gov Will Add ‘Simple Choice’ Plans in Effort to Improve Value
“All Simple Choice plans in the same category (like Silver) have exactly the same core benefits, deductibles and co-payments,” states a message to be displayed on the federal website. “When viewing Simple Choice plans, you can focus on other important features that may be different: monthly premiums, additional services covered, doctor and hospital networks.”

Trump's outrage: Donald Trump Calls Allegations by Women ‘False Smears’
“The establishment and their media neighbors wield control over this nation through means that are very well known — anyone who challenges their control is deemed a sexist, a racist, a xenophobe and morally deformed,” Mr. Trump said. “They will seek to destroy everything about you, including your reputation.

It may be difficult to ascertain the vote from within the sealed envelope, but it doesn't mean it's impossible. It all boils down to trust -- as long as that trust can be monitored and verified.
More problematic is that vote by mail isn't private / anonymous - your actual vote is visible for all to read.
