AI Thread Summary
The discussion highlights skepticism regarding presidential candidates' actual plans for health care reform, suggesting that their support is often superficial and focused on rhetoric rather than substantive policy. There is a prevailing sentiment that universal health care is unlikely to be realized in the near future, regardless of who is elected. Additionally, there is a humorous acknowledgment of the challenges in accessing health care in Washington, with a tongue-in-cheek suggestion to avoid getting sick and rely on basic self-care measures instead. The conversation underscores a broader frustration with the health care system and the lack of meaningful solutions from political leaders.

Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
