I know a person who wanted an individual market #healthinsurance plan. Their work open enrollment ended the day the individual market enrollment started. Time slipped and they went to complete enrollment on the last day only to find there was an issue with their account. Now they don't have health insurance for 2020. They own that they messed up and understand the point of enrollment. But I think it's one more symptom of how craptastic the US health insurance system is.
I'll definitely be getting a #pinephone when it comes out
Maybe I should make a start on my mobile rights now with my current phone?
Vox does some interesting reporting on how machine learning is being used to keep oil price competitive with renewables.

Lately I've seen some incorrect statements and facts about Linux on mobile being thrown around, and I decided to write a blog post to give some more correct info. Please give it a read https://fam-ribbers.com/2019/12/28/State-of-Linux-on-mobile-and-common-misconceptions.html 😄
If you see any mistakes I've made, please correct me!

Ever have or hear an idea for some awesome service (for people or the world)? It would be beneficial to lots of folks.
Then someone, or even you, said "shame there's no sustainable business case" or "how would people support themselves doing that?"
All those great ideas could happen with universal housing, universal healthcare, and universal basic income.
If you didn't need to worry about that stuff, you could do the cool project that everyone would love but no one would pay for.
This is pretty neat. Adam Savage has a conversation with the propmaster for the Expanse.

Just read the first three chapters of The War on Normal People (https://shop.yang2020.com/products/book-war-normal-people#) by @andrewyang@twitter.com It's super interesting to a data dork like me 🤓 but, unfortunately, it's equally depressing 😢. Now I feel like hiding from reality by sleeping for a week. 😴

This is a huge risk, and you _need_ to switch operating system!
Why not switch to Linux? It's free, and awesome!
Tell your friends. Friends don't let friends run end of life operating systems.
