... are they the CORRECT instructions?

Re: Your sig "Yes, but where do you think the chaos came from?"

Answer: From the minds of Thomas Knight and Jack Holloway.

Get your popcorn ready, this should be fun to watch.

Unless the company winds up losing so many customers they go bankrupt before the regulators can look into it.

Which ones?

Per Delta, the AI pricing isn't individualized, meaning all customers buying the same class of service at a given time will see the same price, so I don't think that would get you anything, unless maybe your AI agent gets good at predicting when exactly you should buy your ticket, but that seems unlikely because your agent will always be operating with less information than theirs (e.g., yours doesn't know exactly how many seats are already sold).

I find that it works well to treat current-generation AI agents like bright, incredibly fast but overenthusiastic and incautious junior engineers who do not learn from their mistakes. They can be extremely useful, but you have to be careful to limit the damage they can do if they happen to screw up.

I don't think anyone struggling to afford health insurance -- especially now that insurance can't deny pre-existing conditions -- is shelling out $20k for bleach injections. It would be much cheaper to get an individual healthcare policy and get it to pay for proper chemo.

Windows Vista and 7 - it's can be looked at as Aero++. But...Aero copied and arguably improved (in the transparency stakes at least) Apple's Aqua. And this is before we throw in the Linux window manager crowd.

It's a design trend and it can be pointed to at various places where it really started. Honestly I liked Aero, so for me just like command-tab copied ctrl-tab - I don't care. If it's good, I'll take it. I haven't tried any of the betas so I don't know which side of the fence I'll land on yet.

You should be careful of taking the claims of the Chinese Communist Party at face value. China has universal health insurance, but it is administered in a way that many people canâ(TM)t access critical care *services*.

For example if you are a rural guest worker in a city, you have health insurance which covers cancer treatment, but it requires you to go back to your home village to get that treatment, which probably isnâ(TM)t available there. If you are unemployed you have a different health insurance program, but its reimbursement rate is so low that most unemployed people canâ(TM)t afford treatment.

Authoritarian governments work hard to manage appearances, not substance. This is a clear example. It sounds egalitarian to say everyone has the same health insurance, but the way they got there was to engineer a system that didnâ(TM)t require them to do the hard work of making medical care available to everyone.

If you want an example of universal healthcare, go across the strait to Taiwan, which instituted universal healthcare in the 90s and now has what many regard as the best system in the world.

I've seen this movie before.

1) This isn't news. The "recent" announcement was posted a year ago. No new links have been added since 2018.

2) A better transition would be to make the forwarding non-automatic for a period of time. Keeping a non-auto-forwarding, read-only (no new entries) link-forwarding service in place for a long time shouldn't be a burden for a company like Google.

As a courtesy, it would be nice to include an explaination/warning that the "short link" was set up in or before 2018 and that the destination link may or may not be what it was back then.

Nah. Transactional implies a level of coherence and planning that is clearly absent in the current administration.

It is toxic, after all.

Side effects may include never having to worry about paying another medical bill again ... because you are dead.

Luckey is shooting for "turtles all the way down," or, as I put it, "doing it with nothing that is imported at any stage of manufacturing" to the extent humanly possible. Or, in the words of the Federal Trade Commission quoted in the article:

Does it mean "in name only," where everything except the final screw in the case is done overseas, then someone in America does the "final final assembly" by screwing in the final screw?

Does it mean what we normally thing of as "final assembly," where the circuit boards and non-electronic parts are made overseas, shipped to America, then put together in America?

Does it mean "one more level down," with an American factory soldering the components onto the circuit boards then doing the "final assembly"?

Does it mean making the major chips and maybe custom-formed plastic or metal parts domestically but using imported "commodity/jellybean" electronics, screws, and other similar parts? What counts as a "major chip?" What counts as a "commodity/jellybean part?"

Does it mean manufacturing every manufactured part domestically down to the most commodity screw, but using raw materials that may have come from overseas?

Does it mean using only domestic plastic, glass, and steel, but not caring if the manufacturers of the plastic, glass, and steel use imported feed-stocks (e.g. oil, sand, iron/iron ore, other industrical feed-stocks).

Does it mean doing it with nothing that is imported at any stage of manufacturing save the air, water, or energy that may have crossed a border before it entered the manufacturing process?

How you answer this question makes a difference in the cost of the final product and, likely, the premium the "Make American Manufacturing Great Again" crowd will say they will pay for the final product.
