Based on this summary, new ACA repeal plan is similar to the Cassidy-Graham bill described in our new issue brief: cbpp.org/research/healt… – but appears to provide even fewer federal $ for coverage, suggesting it could result in even higher uninsured rates 1/12
Like Cassidy-Graham, the new bill completely eliminates Medicaid expansion (currently covers 12 million people) and ACA subsidies (currently help about 10 million people), replacing them with a deeply flawed block grant 2/12
But the new proposal appears to provide over $300B less funding for the block grant than the earlier bill 3/12

Actually, Cassidy-Graham plan makes deep cuts to ACA subsidies & expansion + EXACTLY THE SAME cuts to rest of Medicaid as Senate bill 1/6
Proposal repeals Medicaid expansion & ACA subsidies; replaces with much smaller block grant that ends completely in 2026 2/6
Block grant also wouldn’t adjust for recessions, emergencies, etc., so states would cut coverage most when need is greatest 3/6

CURSE OF KNOWLEDGE:
This is a powerful cognitive bias, and the one that's probably most responsible for you staying stuck in your dead-end way of doing things instead of breaking out.

What is it?
The mind's inability to remember what it was like to not know something.
At first glance you may think this is a relatively unimportant thing. Completely harmless.

But it's robbing you of your freedom. Here's how.

To understand, we're going to use an example from my life: Magic Tricks.

I'm a professional mentalist; I've performed in Vegas.
I know how the mind works, and I understand why the simple methods of magic are so powerful; they leverage exactly these kinds of mental hiccups. So, here's the example.

I do a trick, and you want to know how it works. You'll do ANYTHING. Pay me $100, even. Great! Pay up!

Do you have any 25k, 50k or 100k in your bank account that you are not using? Do you know you can earn extra income by investing that 25k, 50k or 100k? I’ll tell you how. #Thread 😊
In the last couple of years, I have tried to diversify my income stream. Besides earning salary as a Lecturer in one of the top UK Universities, I also try my hands on a few legit businesses, which we refer to side-hustles☺️
Beside these side hustles, I also have a few investments that yields very good interest at the end of every year. One of such is an investment in a Money Market Fund.

This reminds me of when I was at @QualcommVenture and the @HoloLens came out in 2016. @sdesh & I conducted our own deep tech investigation on why the FOV of #AR wasn’t full-field, & came away with massive respect for what was accomplished by the @Microsoft team.

So ok thread 1/
We realized that the way #VR gets to full-frame FOV was by warping the lenses between your eyes and the display, “blowing up” the screen by wrapping it around your eyes. You can’t do that with #AR bc then you’d warp the actual world, making it unviewable

2/
So the commonly discussed “dream” of a single headset where you just “drop a black screen behind AR and you get VR” is very far away because the requirements of the two are not as similar as one would expect.

this is the twitter version of the lecture I gave to an undergraduate wildlife management class, called "Conservation and How Colonialism Fucked Everything" (not really).

short version: #bloodparks
I was taught a sanitized version of American wildlife management/conservation. it's only through self-study/listening that I learned any of this. By not acknowledging the violence that occurred in the US w/ regards to wildlife/resources we do our students a disservice #bloodparks
look at the news for a week & you hear plenty of news about how there's a biodiversity crisis. we're losing species at a v high rate. we're in the sixth mass extinction.

we blame proximate causes..."poaching", recent deforestation, but that's not where it started. #bloodparks

"God, I want my future back." Those were the words I whispered to God two weeks ago, while I was going through the greatest health scare of my life. #Thread #Health #Life
In the midst of the tests and various medical consultations, it occurred to me that my life had stopped. My symptoms limited my movements and where I could go. So, I couldn't plan and I couldn't project forward.
Things like traveling or dating went out of the window. I was stuck on finding a solution to my health challenge. My tests are still ongoing. I'm still seeing doctors, but we think we now know what's wrong. And so, I am hopeful.
