Doctors are very good at keeping tabs on earnings of others but have no limits on the estimates of their own value. We in turned are conditioned to respect doctors as the vessels which carry the whole of healthcare. Nothing could be further from the truth. Talk to a very large percentage of doctors outside the office and you find that money is there bottom line. They're all for tort reform so you can't recover a large settlement when they are negligent. They grouse endlessly about how much they have to pay for malpractice insurance. I recently saw a doctor get into a private chauffeured limousine with a vanity plate outside a major NY hospital. I don't know too many pharma execs that live that high on the hog. Did I mention the chauffeur was armed. I guess you can make people angry when you flaunt wealth like that. My own doctor lamented not making as much money as "those wallstreet guys" just before he forgot I was in the hospital for a week. Oops.

What would be real time for you? Every second? Millisecond? Or should we make hard constraints on the maximum latency (< 5 ms). Does the original site show the unavailability of data (within the original update frequency?).

Furthermore, if it takes 3 minutes to communicate a delayed train, and your screen is still trying to create a make-believe of updating your screen every 50 milliseconds, is it real-time?

I would even say that the 1 minute update is more real-time than the make-believe 50 millisecond updates.
I was taken in an ambulance to the hospital once for a dislocated limb. I never understood why the paramedics seemed to find new satisfaction in life when I rejected the narcotic painkiller. Must have come as a pleasant surprise.
There is a same origin policy and CORS. Sometimes cross site stuff is supposed to work (JSONP). In some cases the request is made to the non-origin site, and the response is then blocked based on returned headers. That however doesn't stop the request's side effects. A few years ago there were a round of hacks against many home routers doing this, exploiting vulnerabilities in their web admin interfaces. I stand by my first sentence in my first comment.
Of course, in Python this is also pretty trivial to write. You just do the two illegality checks, then if you get through those "return len(set((a, b, c)))" will be the correct result.

I know too many really good people that vote Republican solely because they hate it when people get something for nothing. Welfare the main thing that pissed them off. It's so hard to fathom, because many of these people are religious and are very caring people (with their time and money). I think the GOP has done a great PR job against BI.
Those two things kind of are related.

The prefunding requirement was added to give the impression of financial problems so as to manufacture consent for privatization among the public.

A quick look around this thread demonstrates that it's mostly been a successful ploy ("Privatization isn't looking too bad.").

I've no doubt that any privatization that does occur will dump these existing pension liabilities on the federal government, raise prices and strip employee benefits to the bone while jacking up executive compensation.

Whomever buys the USPS will get a cheap monopoly which they can milk indefinitely. This will be declared a success for the free market or something.
Even if consumers were informed by some mysterious agency, doctors would still have to learn new things all the time, including which new drugs are appropriate to prescribe for which conditions. Since doctors have to learn that stuff anyhow, and since they already talk to patients, I don't think explaining drugs to patients is a particularly big burden.

This is factually incorrect. Even if antibiotics become less effective (they are not becoming ineffective, is just that resistant bacteria require higher doses, which start to become problematic from the side effects point of view).

First of all, we will still have the Germ theory of Disease. Much of the early gains in lifespan from modern medicine came from the awareness of the correlation between cleanness and healthiness. For as long as we can support infrastructure for proper sanitation and disposal of dangerous agents, those gains will persist.

Second, we will still have vaccination. Many dangerous diseases are kept at bay not by heavy use of drugs but by immunization the population instead. This technique is also subject to diminishing returns due to bacteria evolution, but the dynamics are different. Over use antibiotics and you end up with resistant diseases; reach full immunization and you root out the disease out of your population.

Third, we have better palliative care now. Even if everything else fails, we are better prepared now to keep people alive long enough for their own antibodies to fight off most diseases.

This will be shitty for our current expectations - to be able to take a pill and bounce back in a day or two. But it does not mean either that half of our children are going to die of colds or tummy aches or anything like that.

It's more about emotional satisfaction of the "unhealthy" stuff. Orwell on this subject, 1937 ( https://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/o/orwell/george/o79r/chapter6... )

> The basis of their diet, therefore, is white bread and margarine, corned beef, sugared tea, and potatoes — an appalling diet. Would it not be better if they spent more money on wholesome things like oranges and wholemeal bread or if they even, like the writer of the letter to the New Statesman, saved on fuel and ate their carrots raw? Yes, it would, but the point is that no ordinary human being is ever going to do such a thing. The ordinary human being would sooner starve than live on brown bread and raw carrots. And the peculiar evil is this, that the less money you have, the less inclined you feel to spend it on wholesome food. A millionaire may enjoy breakfasting off orange juice and Ryvita biscuits; an unemployed man doesn’t.
But how do you know whether the patient has a resistant infection before giving antibiotics? Are you suggesting every patient is cultured to find out what the underlying infection is before starting treatment?

From recent experience of being hospitalized with pneumonia, they were pumping me full of antibiotics and asking questions later. The culture on my sputum never came back with a clear answer even a couple days later. But they found an antibiotic that worked. I doubt I'll ever know what bacteria ultimately caused the infection. Clearly it was resistant to a few antibiotics that weren't working. Should they instead have left me with a 104 degree fever near death for a few days while trying to figure out if antibiotics would be effective or not, even though the culturing process might not even give a clear answer?

I'm a bit confused. I would characterize this as documentation which can't really be "tried out". From the rules:

It's hosted on Github but I don't think that in and of itself should put it in the Show HN category. Do you think it belongs in Show HN because it's self promotional?

Thoughts?
It would really help if people would stop calling this 'real-time', just because it creates the illusion.

Real-time means: physical train slows down, communicates with all interested parties within a limited amount of time (for example: 20 milliseconds). Because of CAP, interested parties either show real-time update within 20 milliseconds, or display 'missing data', or sth. Generally, the latter situation is a failure condition (fails the RT condition).

And, legal casual residents would not be reluctant to call the police, because they won't fear deportation. It's in everyone's interest that when someone sees a crime, they report it, but right now there are a lot of observed crimes that go unreported because of this fear.
OK that is not really what I would call censorship. Censorship is restricting public access to some expression - not punishing the originator. Even if it might be just as bad for the freedom of speech, it is not the same thing.
The big question would be whether 19 police officers would respond to "unknown white person attempting to gain entry", or whether there would have been that much hassle.

The answer is not particularly likely -- probably one unit would've been dispatched, they'd have asked for ID and then that would be that. The size of the response and the interaction she had were almost certainly due to the race of the resident and the locksmith.
It's not really the WiFi component that is unreliable though. It's the connection to the ground. Every time the Internet connection breaks down, the WiFi connection itself is fine.

Yes! Also goes by part number 74LS165 (edit: actually they are just similar) [1]. Here's how to use it in your game code:
http://wiki.nesdev.com/w/index.php/Standard_controller

Basically you write high voltage to the "strobe" line of the shift register in the controller, putting it in a state where it continuously updates to reflect current button presses. Once you remove the high voltage, it "freezes" its 8-bit state representing whatever combination of the eight buttons were last depressed, and then you make 8 successive reads from the shift register's serial line, reading off the state 1 bit at a time. It's up to the game software to be robust against bouncing, as well as against a tricky hardware bug where the DMC module of the NES's audio processing unit conflicts with the latching mechanism used by the controller's serial line. Needless to say, this must all be emulated by accurate NES emulators, too :)

Same here, just switched to TypeScript today and it's quite nice. Not as nice than Elm in terms of tooling (those errors are much more helpful than the TypeScript one and js of course). I guess it depends whether you want the React community or don't mind a smaller one and a functional language.

I've heard that it's actually a pretty viable travel strategy in some areas of the world.
It's obvious if you pay any attention that approximately nobody is examining facts and then reaching conclusions. They all reached their conclusions long ago, and now they use facts to justify those conclusions when suitable.

That's all you need to say about Washington. Fix that and most/all of the other problems would evaporate.

Reminds me of reading about the drug decriminalization in Portugal. I was astounded that a bi-partisan committee just decided to look at the facts instead of doing the usual thing. Portugal seems lightyears ahead of the US, in this regard.
People with addictions don't have preferences in the sense you mean. The nature of addiction is that it subverts and overrides the (delicate) mechanisms of rational choice.

If the principle we live by is maximizing total individual freedom, then I think freedom from addiction has to be part of that.

For that matter, much of the point of advertising is also to subvert one's preferences. So as a believer in individual freedom, I'm in favor of ending corporate freedom to profitably manipulate individuals.
How expensive is SF rent? Use Unix commands to find out
How expensive is SF rent? Here's a coding challenge that uses Unix command line tools to find out.

Hacker friends suggested I post the result and code here because I'm writing open source statistics software and this is a practical example of results and code.

The results for a one bedroom in SF: mean $3348, median $3475, interquartile range $1514, and standard deviation $1130.

How to use Unix commands to find out: use `curl` to fetch Craigslist apartment listings, then `sed`, `grep`, and `tr` to filter and parse the data, then `num` to calculate the statistics.

curl -s http://sfbay.craigslist.org/search/sfc/apa\?min_price\=1\&bedrooms\=1 |
sed 's/\(<p class="row"\)/\n\1/g' |
grep ' 1br ' |
tr ">" "\n" |
sed -n 's/^\$\([0-9]\+\).*/\1/p' |
num mean median interquartile-range standard-deviation OFMT="%.0d"

The software I'm personally writing is the `num` command to calculate the statistics. The software is free at http://www.numcommand.com

> As for the free market, we do not have a free market in medicine. It is highly regulated through insurance and government regulation. So, I don't see a problem there.

Plenty of us do.

The absence of a "free market" in this situation isn't merely a difference of driving economic theory, but of bodily sovereignty.
Yes that would be ideal. b^)

That might solve the cursor issue, but it's a bigger issue than cursor state.

The real issue is that Elm doesn't treat its programmers like grown-ups. That sounds harsh, so let me explain . . .

I've drank enough of the Haskell Kool-Aid to realize that, despite the surface discourse, Haskell is not about religious devotion to purity and lazy-evaluation. It's about managing side-effects, and being honest about them in your type signatures. Yes, Haskell allows functional purity but its real genius lies in how well it helps you manage state. (I did an imperative Algorithms course completely in Haskell, and the language really shines. Mutable unboxed arrays, mutable atomic references . . . it's all there when you really need it.)

Unfortunately, the folks driving Elm development take a paternalistic tack. (If someone seeks to argue this point, it's not hard to come up with many, many examples from the Elm mailing lists.)

Here's a few examples:

- Elm shouldn't have type-classes because, allegedly, they are too hard for JS-folks to understand. (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/elm-discuss/type$...)

- Elm doesn't publish how you are supposed to write native modules (you must discern it from the code and it's subject to change without notice), because Elm's author thinks you can't be trusted to use FFI wisely. (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/elm-discuss/nativ... and the can was kicked here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/elm-dev/native/el...) And, no, Elm's ports are not the equivalent of FFI.

- In the most recent release, operators were removed because synonyms for map (<~) and apply (~) are allegedly to hard understand.

- Appartently, you shouldn't even mention Haskell as a resource for learning Elm. (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/elm-discuss/OlzLOPix...)

I think it's healthy for programming languages to have a point of view; that is, languages should lead you in a direction. (Clojure does a great job at this.) Yet, ultimately, a language shouldn't censor its programmers.

Upshot: Component local state should be an option in Elm when you really need it.

Patient goes in and "asks their doctor" about a drug.

I wonder if this really ever happens. I mean, for many of the ads, it's hard to tell even what the drug does, so going to your doctor and asking for that med would amount to a random question.
Many years ago I stumbled on a programming golf contest on the old Something Awful forum. The challenge was to convert a byte string to a hex dump. I wrote it as a distributed JNI system with CORBA based RPC. The boilerplate stuff alone was like 500 lines. This is what I did for fun in high school. I wasted my youth.
There is hopefully some movement in that direction after my talk at the conj: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kt4haSH2xcs. I'm continuously inspired by Evan's approach and his dedication to the user experience, and I hope to be able to bring some of that to Clojure.
That's not a good way to understand the problem. For any particular medical field, that number of new drugs is going to be much lower.

If you make all events public, you end up sending all scroll events and mouse move events to the app's top-level signal just because some component needs them. The larger your app is, the more likely it is that some component somewhere will need an event sooner or later.

Traditional UI frameworks try to avoid sending events unnecessarily for performance reasons; they're designed so that each component can declare which events it's listening to and can start and stop listening as needed.

Perhaps Elm can make this work, so that unwanted events get filtered out so quickly that it's not a concern. Also, these days everything gets animated anyway based on things like scroll events, so apps are perhaps a bit more like video games that run at 60 frames/second regardless of what's going on, at least while they're in the foreground. And the browsers themselves perform a lot better.

But it shouldn't be hard to see why people who have experience building UI frameworks might be concerned about unnecessary event traffic, particularly on mobile where battery life is an issue.

What version of OS X are you using? If you’ve upgraded from a previous version, did you do a clean install or just upgrade over your older version?

I’ve used many OS Xs over the years (Mac OS X v10.3 Panther, Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger, Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard, OS X v10.8 Mountain Lion, OS X v10.9 Mavericks, and OS X v10.11 El Capitan), and each time I’ve had to upgrade, I’ve always done a clean install (just in case, which I’d say probably spared me from a lot of potential issues). Assuming this is a software problem, when you end up needing to upgrade again, I’d recommend trying to do a clean install instead of just upgrading your previous installation (so that this issue doesn’t just carry over to the upgrade).
These ads are one of the main reasons I became a cord cutter. I'm very happy they have not yet followed me onto any of the streaming services I use.

They are the creepiest thing ever on television. The actors sit around dinner tables with family members speaking unnatural, FDA manipulated dialog ("Oh, I'm doing great, I've been taking Pradaxa for my afib, not caused by a heart valve problem!") Then you get the unending list of side effects read aloud ("death" almost always one) while the actors smile and stare off into space.

Occasionally, one of these ads will come in a 2 minute and 30 second variety that fills the entire commercial break.

A regulation I'd like to see is that all the side effects must be acted out in the commercial as they are read. Show the peacefully sleeping woman suddenly awakened, choking on her swelling tongue. Or a man running around with an actual 4+ hour erection.
