It isn't just how they die. Similar articles could be written on "How doctors loose weight", "How doctors pick their doctors" or "What do doctors do when their kids are sick". Insider knowledge and the education to effectively employ that knowledge always has advantages.

I do take issue with the concept that these docs are dieing "without treatment". They get treatment. They are diagnosed (a big deal) and have ready access to a host of pain management drugs. Having a full understanding of your condition, along with the knowledge that any pain can and will be managed very quickly, is a massive stress reduction. That's a form of treatment imho.

it's completely different - Google for example will down level you based on performance. if you have candidates that have the same job with wildly different salaries which just exacerbates arbitrary inequities. the range solution also creates problems when handling promotions

the one who benefits the most from the "range" solution is the employer, really.

Neil deGrasse Tyson also mentioned this. User noufalibrahim already gave a good response to that. But if you're interested, Mohammed Hijab also replied to that claim in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfRnYNig9jU&t=36s&ab_channel...
Force individual officers to carry liability insurance similar to malpractice insurance for lawyers and doctors. If the insurance is forced to pay out a couple times the officer would be uninsurable and thus unemployable.
Right, and it's not just neat little experiments. There already is big money on Ethereum's DeFi: billions lended, transacted between assets, leverage longs/shorts taken.

Add to that experimental unpegged stablecoin projects[1], and you realize the dream of a "P2P electronic cash system" is alive and well. It's just being worked on by different groups than originally (because if you own a big bitcoin stash now, it's hard to resist the temptation of pushing the SoV/ponzi narrative).

Since x + y = z can't be reversed without preserving input, this would have to use additional memory. What if you then have z + a = b? Can you now throw out x/y, or does it have to be reversible all the way back to the beginning?
I also think it was because MySQL didn’t require vacuuming so small hosting providers and resellers didn’t have to deal with support issues around that. I know when I was looking around in the late 90s for a database it was a deciding element for me.
I had a nice long reply but had some time to simply fit.

The issue here isn't that Facebook is complying with a government's wishes it is that we don't hold our own governments liable first. As in, you should first blame your own government for turning a blind eye to events you find objectionable. People cheer on facebook and others here for locking out opinions they don't want, they just find a clean term to justify it (no fake news, hate, etc)

However to be blunt. No government is without issues and it would be a better use of your angst to clean up your own government before asking your government or a private firm to interfere in the actions of others. As in, police yourself first.
> It's not super predictive, but not to be honest, nothing else in psychology is either.

This is an often cited myth. Examples of psychological effects with high predictive powers include:

* The law of stimulus and response

* Priming

* Classical conditioning

* Reinforcement learning, which further includes positive reinforcement, punishment, etc.

* Plenty of neural models that predict behavioral anomalies after brain trauma.

* Plenty of social psychology models that predict how people behave inside groups.

* Heck even the linguist Noam Chomsky made an accurate psychological prediction based on cognitive psychology in how people acquire grammar.

I think you might be confusing psychology with psychometrics which is a sub-field of psychology which holds that any psychological effect is measurable and that operational definition is a good way to establish these effects. The whole field of psychometrics has a serious problem with predictive powers of their theories. Other modern fields of psychology on the other hand has a good track record of making theories that hold good predictive powers.
Everything in your reply is false.

Unfortunately, you have a habit of roaming around HN posting responses like this on any content you find that doesn't align with your political aims. The HN guidelines, as written, do not recommend or require that posters obey any particular political narrative or viewpoint. As enforced, on the other hand... your reply here continues to demonstrate your commitment to maintaining an enforced narrative on the site.

Please stop doing this, it destroys what HN is supposed to be for.
More accurately, you could do a command-line only Ubuntu installation with the Ubuntu alternate CD, which isn't the same thing as a server installation, and then add what you want. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySyst... has more information.
I had not thought about that but I don't see why that would not be a very useful feature/add on. Adoption might be an issue though.
This Bad Religion song is going to need a lot of editing if they expect it to get radio airplay.
indeed. for example, the GOP has a list of the top 5 things they want to cut to save money for the government (can't find the website offhand). they're nothing more than token issues which would, in total, reduce the budget expenditure by something like 0.00001%.

here's a graph of how the 2010 budget is spent:

Equality is a god to be worshiped for its own sake and not for any greater benefit to us all. It doesn't matter that inequality-driven technological progress has given each of us a better life than the kings of yesteryear, because the very rich have access to private planes and I don't and that's not fair.
Agreed, he has the experience needed to make an "over-night success". His Mensa membership and thereby accompanying massive brain doesn't hurt either.
First on the list: Learn to spell "San Francisco".
Agree the article is very vague on what he was doing when filing. Most likely he was not paying the self-employment taxes and get audited; however, like you said, he should have been deducting expenses. I am not an accountant or tax attorney, but I believe in this case, as long as he kept detailed records he can go back and refile. They may ask him for receipts and documentation, but that should be fairly easy to acquire from his hosting company. I have had to refile my tax return for a previous year, it was not part of an audit, just missed a 1099 and didn't realize it until the following year. My accountant took care of refiling and ended up getting a larger refund.

Are you talking about their fall in the idealogical sense, that happened in 2000? I seem to remember at least 10 years after that where their software dominated every office I walked into. Even today as far as private cloud goes, they are a major player. Again, this references my point of Microsoft getting a bad name for releasing buggy and insecure OS's.
I'm curious as to what's going to happen when this group starts having babies. Time to write a business plan I guess.
I just wanted to point out that Go was trying to be a C++ replacement. Most people tend to forget this.

While apple and oranges is an appropriate metaphor for the approach that the two languages take, Go and Rust are vastly different, their goal of being systems programming languages is not.
Sed was the problem. On Mac the syntax is slightly different and it doesn't take \t as tab. Those two curve balls took some extra research.

I didn't actually take the entire day. :)
i've had limited success, one factor that helped was me going cold turkey on the alternatives. also you define your own success, gaining a monopoly is rather a high standard!
Very neat, thanks.

Not allowing content exports isn't shady. Happens on a lot of platforms and systems.

Stealing code- there are remedies for that, which Auto and the foundation are free to pursue.
That's a fair point. But demographically, often the people most protective of car space are the ones who show up loudly at community meetings. That can have an impact.
That sounds like an incredibly slow feedback cycle. How would that work? Write some code, check it in, wait for someone else to write tests... and come back in hours/days/weeks to fix any issues?

Getting constantly dragged back to fix last week's bugs sounds like a chapter from Dante's Inferno. I'd rather discover them while the code is fresh in my mind.

Without tests, how do I know when I'm done?
I think he himself wrote that :)

> I'm not sure if there are any ~20 hours a week dev jobs

These definitely exist, at least in some companies. One of my former employers had several developers who worked 3 days (i.e. 22.5 hours) per week.
Could you expand on that?

Suppose there’s a library “foo” licensed under GPL v3 or later.

GPLv4 comes out and has a term I don’t like (maybe it says “may not be used by anyone with more than 2 ‘o’s in their name”). Am I not free to use foo under the v3 terms, ignoring “or later”?

From the v3 license: Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General Public License “or any later version” applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
This isn't the only date that could be considered the "birthday" of the Internet. What about October 29, 1969 or January 1, 1983? Arguably, either the first intersite link, or the first use of TCP/IP on the network, could be considered just as much the birth of the Internet as we know it as the date of RFC1.

I guess one of the major realization to be made that this is mostly a real-estate problem and taxing wealth is not going to help. Most of the wealth held by wealthy individuals is just on paper. If you put a high tax on wealth, most of this value is going to be erased overnight.

The problem is real-estate as this is what people need. If people could buy property they would not be interested in stocks or crypto and they would not care for rich people getting richer. They would be busy in their pools or backyards.

And fixing real-estate is not done by having more taxes, penalizing vacant homes, or grabbing your inheritance. It's simple: Build more housing.
> It surprises me that so many people are outraged by a Chrome extension that highlights names - and does nothing more as far as I know

Nothing more as of now but you should see the support for it on twitter. This rationale is similar to Nothing to hide argument[1]. Path to dystopian future is paved with good intentions. And maintaining a naughty list is definitely not in good intentions.

> and wanting to see everyone with progressive politics purged from free software entirely

Where are you getting this from? Absolutely no one suggested that.

> The hypocrisy and cognitive dissonance among Stallman's supporters

I am not a Stallman supporter, fwiw.

This approach to safety devices or safeguards is painfully typical in Russian culture. I live in Moscow, and about a half of taxi drivers don't buckle up their safety belts.
In this context the security guarantees are geared toward the attack threath the web faces: sandboxing untrusted code.

You could say that this is the most web-specific aspect of Web Assebly
That's a lot of speculation. Why wouldn't Google care about losing user data? Especially for such an important setting.
Gmail has this feature baked in. Append a + sign to the username and then append any string you want, ie. username+ycombinator@gmail.com. It will forward these mails to your regular email address.
I started doing this for the exact same reason as mentioned above, but you can obviously do more than just creating honeypots.
Also you have to ignore the fact that it's Google...
Difference is, those non-glass cameras don't come bundled up with Google services fed down your throat and automatically upload your data.

You have a very different take on privacy compared to most "hackers". I remember you're a "some active" and think that everyone loves taking selfies and that shameless self promotion is some sort of a calling for every person, regardless what the cost is to privacy.

I shouldn't dwell on this subject more, as you got my real HN account hellbanned the last time I pointed this out.
I like the look of it (and the intuitive way it functions) - but (even though my fear maybe irrational) I'm slightly worried about becoming dependent on a tool that might not be around in the future.

EDIT: actually, with an export function - there's not so much to lose.
Repeating this reply to anther comment:

I can say for sure that there are very large numbers of unemployed programmers because my day job is as a recruiter - I spend all day receiving resumes from programmers and talking to them about whether or not they are currently employed. Even in my own city there are large numbers of programmers looking for work. Expand that around the world and there's many many more.

Actually the reason I have been thinking about this idea is because I'm acutely aware and reminded daily of how much programming talent is not active due to unemployment.

Many people struggle to get work even though they might be willing and highly talented, for a wide variety of reasons. Consider for example if you are Delphi programmer who wants to make the shift into programming with some more recent technology. It is very hard for such people to get a job because employers are reluctant to take the chance. The Delphi programmer may in fact be incredibly talented and may easily be able to switch technologies, but getting an employer to give them that chance might take 12 months. There are lots of other valid reasons why there are many potentially talented programmers who can't find a job.

My wife and I just finished getting rid of two file cabinets worth of papers using this MFP: http://www.okidata.com/mkt/html/nf/MFP.php?sku=b4545series

The pdf's it created were pretty small and the result of the project fits into a very small chunk of my Dropbox account (50GB). Its great having all my files for the past 20 years available everywhere I go.
Yep, that's nice. I'd also like to be able to import from gTasks.
I really don't understand how it could be "cram-and-forget" unless the students failed the AP tests. If they did well on the AP tests -- covering an entire year's worth of material in one day -- it was more like "cram-and-remember" and it was apparently a good way to learn the material.

Since "confabulation" is our only option, Hayek warns against disguising it as science -- this is what happens in economics, he says. Most historians, on the other hand, understand the limits of their knowledge, don't try to make predictions (certainly not with the same definitiveness common to many economists), and don't disguise their narratives as physical science. The author of the article under discussion, though, seems to wish history was more like physics, which it just can't be.
Don't tell your boss.

If people do get pushed out you'll be first to go even if you haven't found something better yet. Beyond that you will be treated differently and probably for the worse.
Definitely not. There is a possibility that it will sour your relationship with your boss (why take the risk?). Best to quietly find another job and resign in the appropriate manner and move on.
If you have to sign something, it's probably a contract, not a license. It might turn out to be an invalid contract if you're already entitled to what the burglar offers you.

Analogies to real property are problematic because of the excludable and rival nature of real property.

I blogged about this a while ago; basically i think the social space will be huge. There is a lot of gaming happening around facebook at the monent and I think there is space to disconnect it from there. Something that has logins from Twitter and fb and anywhere else and the Brings you into the games. Money ideas might be in micro payments (yeh I know; but they have to work sometime!) or even better in selling the metrics/ game recomendations (e.g. Did you know your friend X is also playing Y?)
> why are command line interfaces still the most efficient way for experts to interact with a system?

This is far from generally true. I defy you to make a command line interface for performing a piano concerto, painting a landscape, or flying an airplane.
That's what we do, but is an exception that somewhat makes my point for me.
Haha. I love the inevitable mention of dwarf fortress in any gaming post. It's like Godwin's law for games:

"As an online discussion about gaming grows longer, the probability of mentioning Dwarf Fortress approaches 1"
Both voice minutes and SMS tranches are for a mostly static demand though. I suspect that most users use about the same amount of voice minutes and SMS messages as they did last year (at least if they are in a similar cell/landline situation from year to year).

However, data demand isn't static, and it's going up. So I wouldn't expect to see data prices stay as stagnant as voice minute and SMS prices have, especially since that's the lucrative growth area cell networks have now.
Any resources you suggest, just off the top of your head?

Forbidding teens to get access to the internet is considered good parenting now?
I'm talking about kicking them off Twitter, etc. They end up finding places that are even worse echo chambers than conventional social media.

There's people in my town who are like this. The "oppression" even fuels their narrative.

Better to keep them in the mainstream discussion, respond with ridicule, and use moderation to squash the overtly dangerous stuff, IMO.
Doesn't potentially cutting off millions of customers help with the course of decentralization though?
OK, sure, technically you are right.

If some drunken man threw a TV out of the windows and shouted let's overthrow the government, that is technically a coup, and a good reason to write about it again and again in social networks and MSM.

Technically you are right. But it would be misleading at best.
This is horrible. I have no interest in parlor, but to require all users on iOS to only be able to communicate in public forums that are moderated is a horrible outcome.
I really wish this would've been the first time that tweets by Donald Trump led to deaths.
I haven't used Element on iOS extensively, but in my limited experience it's "ok" but not stellar. It has a number of papercuts like the registration and login screens not hooking the password manager API and thus not offering password generation services, ability to save/restore from password manager, etc. On that front I think the iOS version of Signal is probably better.
Do you have a better solution? You can't just continue to go along with people to avoid a fight. Some things are worth fighting for.
Even among the two of them, they used these as nicknames.

It lead to a lot of discussion of Grover Cleveland back in the day.
Zero elected officials were actually taken hostage. You saw a picture of a guy with zipties at the capital, and extrapolated all the way to the rest of your comment.

Antifa showed up at several state capitals with much worse than zipties. They firebombed Federal buildings and police districts. Chanted for the removal of elected officials. Constructed guillotines.

Do you call them terrorists?

More importantly, how many elected Democrats have been signing the praises of antifa rioters all summer, telling us we need to leave room for them to express their rage, that we are supposed to be uncomfortable, that property violence isn’t violence....

And now they’ve gotten exactly what they’ve been asking for the last 4 years, Trump’s account suspended.
I think to fix this sort of thing, it all comes down to a person's principles. I think we've failed to teach young people about what is right and wrong and why. You can have the government applying blanket control over things to prevent bad actors and disinformation in society. You can also teach people from a young age what is right and wrong so that when they grow up and are in positions to make these decisions, they won't need blanket decree by the government saying "no you can't do this". The topic may come up in a boardroom and everyone ideally would say "what the fuck? That's not a good idea. Let's not do that because it's wrong even if it makes us money".

This is more of a bottom-up approach which can take a few decades to show results. With that argument, I'd be inclined to look back on the last 20-60 years. What have we been teaching/instilling in our population when they were young? I look at the stuff that's happening as a symptom of a long history where we dropped the ball repeatedly.
Yeah, nothing there or in related articles disputes the assertion that they invented PageRank. Sure, they did it in a community that was developing similar ideas, but they built and developed it.
