I did answer, I think that should be negotiated between the insurer and insuree, and should not be required to be covered.

As I said in theory insurance shouldn't cover primary care, but this is required post-ACA, and I think before too but I'm not sure starting from when. I think direct primary care could be great(but there are also otherways to do it, like optional primary care insurance).

For some preventative things insurance would choose to cover it if it weren't required to save them money in the long run.

Yes, insurance exists for unexpected events, that's why its insurance. A condom is a cost you willingly accept. And to be honest, primary care often shouldn't be insurable, but since plans are required to cover it without price discrimination it kills direct primary care- so this is something that has to be accepted. Now, if medicare/medicaid and other programs choose to cover it that's a different thing, but requiring all plans cover it is dumb. But I guess plans don't really have to compete that much on price and value-added that much anymore post-ACA anyways

Its a handout to condom companies and stores that otherwise would have to compete on price. Granted, I don't know how it would be implemented, but these tend not to be implemented well

Eh, some jobs are overpayed. Unironically, software development is overpaid.

You really want to go the pharmacy and hand them your ID and insurance card while the look you up and say "actually these condoms are 'ribbed for her pleasure' rather than 'skin-feel' so are not covered, also you're over your condom allowance". That would be so awkward barely anyone would bother.

It's always been complicated, Chomsky famously got criticized around the world for opposing censorship of different perspectives. Censorship has always come from collectivist ideologies though.

I've never watched the movie but people have definitely gotten inheritance while marrying into a "lower class" before

I also get about 25$ a day for meals.

That's crazy though. $25 a day in meals for 1 person is genuine luxury.

David Duke's endorsement is a slander, and I think he knows that and uses it intentionally.

I agree, but did you say the same when racists endorsed Trump?

they do it us is picked intentionally to train ai.

Yes like I said, the challenges were picked to be useful. But some form of challenge would've been chosen regardless.

And you know, far more dense- which is the core of what makes it effective

They embed for a reason... And the captchas wouldn't exist if they weren't embedded anywhere

No, you’re wrong, the Traffic Light examples ARE specifically to gather data to train models.

No you're wrong, because the sites that embed those captchas on their page are not doing that to help good.

If people just wanted a good captcha they wouldn’t need hundreds of millions of photos of street lights and bicycles.

Yes, they are getting something productive out of the human labor that would be done anyways. Trust me as a web developer, and web scraper, some kind of captcha is necessary for many free services to be useful/economically viable. The core of a good captcha is just making it marginally more expensive for the scraper/bot than it is for you.

That's why companies like Oxylabs exist

Aren’t these Captchas designed to get training data for AI models anyway?

Yes and no, the captchas are just meant to be hard for computers to solve but easier for humans. People saw that, and thought that "if we're making people do this might as well have them do something useful" not meant to be malevolent- and the purpose is still stopping bots, training them is a side-effect.

Just means they'll get harder, but maybe not for people, just needs to be harder for a computer

Depends on the case, sometimes its unavoidable.

Anybody else would have been rendered penniless within a year, tops.

Nobody else has ever been ordered to pay that much, much less in a suit for speech. Wrongful death lawsuits are awarded less than this.
