the stranglehold the AMA has around the US healthcare system to keep the number of doctors artificially low

On the other hand, wages in IT suffer from an overabundance of indentured H1-B labourers, held on the very short leash of the US immigration system. This should demonstrate the importance of union representation, even at the high end of the qualification scale.
Differences in attitudes between generations are interesting to think about, and illustrative of changes to society. Are you suggesting that literally the only differences between generations are related to maturity? The article didn't seem overly "bothered" by the millennial attitudes it described, rather it was simply noting them and exploring the idea that business practices may need to change to accommodate them. The only one who seems "bothered" is you, so maybe you are feeling grumpy! Hope you feel better soon :)
Well, the "Uber" business model is actually pretty hard to do in an industry as heavily regulated as medicine (and honestly it's a difference between getting into an unrated driver's car or putting yourself under the knife of an unrated developing country's doctor)...

Then again, our friends at Medigo seem to do great service in this direction so far and have just raised a series A ( https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/medigo#/entity ), the competition seems to be heating up in this space and honestly, I can't think of anything to truly "disrupt" this industry, as the margins are pretty well known, the market is reasonably mature and the order volume is very low.

The problem I have with Netflix recommendations is that while they understand genres, they're not good at recommending good shows.

Since I've watched Archer and Arrested Development, Netflix thinks I'd like every mediocre comedy show, since I've watched Sherlock and Luther, it thinks I'd like mediocre non-serialized detective shows, and anything made by the BBC. Watching all of BSG (which isn't even on Netflix anymore, RIP) has given me a permanent section of terrible sci-fi recommendations.
Cash friendly places are getting more prevalent in the US, but you have to look for them. For example, one of the hospitals in my area publishes this (very sane) price list: http://swedishhospital.com/patient-financial/?page_name=pric... I go to them. :)

There are urgent care centers that are the less-crazy version of ERs, and a lot of primary care stuff can be done self pay. While I have access to insurance through my work, I vastly prefer the quality of the self pay system. You do need to do some research in advance, but there are some pretty cool innovations out there, and services you just can't get via the insurance system.

http://theselfpaypatient.com/ is a good resource.
As usual, the older generations fear change and subsequently lash out at the younger generations. The cycle continues.
That's all true, but I think that's a more normal case than it might seem.

I've been running IPv6 on Comcast for two years using one of their recommended Motorola (Arris) Surfboard modems and an Airport Extreme, and didn't have to configure anything at all.

Given a typical user that doesn't know what IPv6 even is, if they just plug everything in and have a Mac or recent Windows box it should all just work.

I read another article a long while back on how cardiologists used to be paid considerable amounts for their skills in open heart surgery. Then later non-evasive techniques were developed and some of them were not happy because it all became more routine that heroic skills were no longer needed. There is always some degree of thinking what is best for yourself instead of your patient.

I disagree.

The function signature should be explicit about what it does and returns. If it has a static/defined return type I know what I can expect from it. The function name should also be explicit about what it does and returns.

Scrolling down to the end just to see a 'return books' statement is usually useless.

If I need to read the whole function, I'd rather have early exits instead of nested ifs. It's easier to read because it follows the logic of "if (such and such condition): nothing else to do -> return;"
> Let's remember what's being fought for

From the perspective of ISIS, they fight for the final peace of the whole world under the only real God, and if they live they win slaves, if they die in fight they win the heaven and 72 virgins each (no matter what they did before, that would push them to hell, like forgetting to pray often enough or drinking beer).

And they have the book that has the "actual words of God" to support them (the whole book instead of pithy 10 commandments), and the bunch of the books describing how their role model ("a messenger of God") did what they do now (including beheadings).

And the highest values of their faith aren't "freedom" (and especially not "democracy"). The name of their religion means "submission" (to the God) and the meaning of the name of the followers is "the submitted." The important part of the religion is showing the submission often enough, even before and after visiting the toilet.

And even more convenient, the book confirms that their enemies, directly and explicitly named as unbelievers, Christians and Jews will surely burn in hell and that God hates them. And it does that repeatedly, so much that removing the pages with such content would reduce the book to a few pages.

How can that be countered, apart from pointing that the religious founder cleverly invented all that for his own gains, as even documented by their own books, and just mentioned by one novelist who was to be assassinated in 1989 and lived in hiding for decades. If you try to do that you'd be with a high probability now considered as somebody spreading religious hatred (insulting "everyone" who are of that religion). Because "all this has nothing to do with the religion that can't be named."

The reality starts to be weirder than fiction.

On another side, the "empire" really did a lot of nasty things in these areas.

Not going to lie, every time I'm on a website with some sort of ID in the URL, particularly more obscure ones, I can't help but tamper with it. Try putting quotes in it, try making it a negative value or changing it to nearby values.

I've found a disturbing number of SQL injection and XSS attacks like this, just messing around on obscure sites.

I run a small business and have noticed our customers try to do the same sometimes, their user ID is visible in the URL at some points. I see the error logs saying they tried to load something they didn't have permission for at least a few times a month.

Do you think there's a serious legal risk here, assuming I don't perform any bad queries on the DB but just see an error message from it and assuming I don't give anyone an XSS'd link, just from plain toying with URLs?
You're mostly right, but the streaming service is useful, too, even if you have all the songs you listen to somewhere. That's particularly relevant considering the OP.
Yep, and in more recent years, we've lead the way in nuclear disarmament. We haven't firebombed entire cities in decades . In the past 8 years we've (to my great relief) de-escalated our military actions in both Afghanistan and Iraq. Our military leaders take pains to make sure drone attacks and military incursions are as precise as possible. We've done this because we've recognized, unlike terrorists, that civilian deaths are extremely unhelpful to our foreign policy.

Again I'm not saying the US's hands are clean. I wholly disagree with many of the foreign military actions we've taken - especially between 2000 and 2008. What am I saying is that our policy - along with international law - have evolved considerably in the past 60 years. And I also sincerely believe that most of our armed forces in present day are doing their very best to avoid killing civilians.

I also think a lot of this is hand-waving away of the critical differences between terrorists who think it is acceptable to walk into a concert hall and gun down hundreds of people, and the militaries who are fighting those terrorists.

Nothing is simple, but there are meaningful moral differences here.

Do you work for Comcast? In all seriousness, spending more to get a lot more isn't what I'm looking for. Verizon (my wireless provider) also tries the same sales tactic - as the higher paid plans have a batter rate for data.
Totally agree, you shouldn't (and don't) have to use a lib like easygoogle to get Google Sign In implemented correctly on Android!

In the multi-activity situation you will want to re-instantiate your GoogleApiClient in each Activity. If you use the function enableAutoManage that keeps it pretty lightweight, you don't need to implement ConnectionCallbacks (since the new API does not have the notion of connection == signed in) and you can have a one-line implementation of OnConnectionFailedListener.

If you have a question about any of this, raise an issue on this repo (https://github.com/googlesamples/google-services) and I'll answer it.
Swift solves this with "guard" statements, which must return if their condition fails. This is most commonly used in combination with converting optional values to non-optional values, to prevent pyramids of doom.

What surprises me is is the minimum weight requirement: 250 grams. That's well below a weight that could reasonably be considered a danger to aircraft or people.

Just for comparison purposes, a McDonald's Big Mac weighs 215-240 grams without wrapper, so with a wrapper if you turned a Big Mac into a drone, it would likely require registration.

The real question is, what is their endgame here? Just send out notifications? It isn't like drones have transponders yet(?).

I like the FAA but this seems misguided and unworkable. Plus $5 is significant when some drones this impacts only costs $30.

Hopefully the FAA has birds 250+ grams register too, just for consistency. In particular as birds kill an order of magnitude more pilots than drones have (have drones ever taken down a plane?).
The expected number of trials, each with 1% of success, is 100 though.
> A sufficiently complex method with 5 return statements ... is certainly less readable than the ... single return statement at the end version

In all cases? How can you even measure that? How can you do it in a way that's free of bias?

If you've never used a style, of course you will find it harder. Dogmatic assertions that boil down to "what I'm used to is objectively better because of how it feels to me" are IMHO harmful.

The pro-Empire articles referenced in the piece above require the reader to turn on their irony detectors. First-rate trolling.
This article and others like it ignore the context of the films. Palpatine disbanded the imperial senate. The rebels were fighting to restore the galactic republic that had stood for 1000 years.
So, the solution to people who are struggling with instability as a result of and causing them to be poor and have issues surviving is to threaten them with more instability?

We have seen time and again the solution to homelessness is stability without many strings attached. From my own personal experiences with homelessness the reason why some people who are homeless choose to remain homeless is because their situation, however instable it appears to be from the outside, is essentially stable to them. And programs which are intended to help them move up from homelessness often impose onerous "if you dont do x we will kick you out", where x can be any number of things productive or silly, and that is in inherently more instable situation than just worrying about showing up for food at the mission at such and such a time or showing up to get a spot in the shelter at another time every day.

We should take a system engineering approach to this situation and fix it in a way grounded in science rather than the whims of politics.
My wife and I have all our dental work completed in Russia. Not only is it a fraction of the cost, its a no-nonsense experience. An initial consultation in the US costs about as much as the actual dental work performed overseas. It's madness.
It's more complicated than you think and there is several issues with mods become paid:

- Most of complex mods aren't made from scratch, they're heavily based off many other people's work, some free games assets and usually even illegally extracted assets from other games. Nobody care about that when it's not commercial activity, but for paid product issue with licensing is huge.

- Same issue with other copyrighted stuff that isn't game assets: trademark, fictional universes, etc. Currently there is a lot of freedom and you can do whatever you want, but once there going to be any money copyright holders include the worst ones going to put huge pressure on community. So mods based off books, movies, series going to end up with DMCA takedown notice really fast.

- % that belong to platform owner and game publisher is abysmal especially considering that some mods is hardly derivative work. So modder who crafter own everything (3D models, textures, animations) still going to give same cut as someone who just reused game assets.

- There is huge issues with quality and support. Even now there is issues with broken games on Steam and I have no idea how Valve can handle that. What worse modders can't fix some bugs on their own and there is many cases when game developers just don't care.

And that all not include fact that weird monetization model going to demotivate many tool and content creators. Not every game is suitable to sell hats.

> I'd like to see Valve take another shot at baking mod monetization into the Steam platform.

I would be more happy to see platforms like Patreon become more popular. Support modders or teams directly is much better idea than selling mods. As example here is one of OpenMW developers:

https://www.patreon.com/scrawl

It's not huge amount of money, but OpenMW isn't most popular project around. This isn't really "mod" too, but I remember I seen few Minecraft mod creators there as well.
I still can't believe there are some jurisdictions where you are legally required to let the cops sneak up on you.
Tabr – Memory Saver and Chrome Tab Manger
Oof yeah that's not good. I think this is one of those things where you need to draw REALLY clear lines.

How about when you see a site owner who explicitly tells you not to enter his website if you have adblock, you just leave?

What I should have said above is that Drupal is a more narrowly defined product than Rails or Node or other frameworks. Drupal 8 is moving toward a "framework" approach, but it's still just a "web content management framework." So for the people who just need to manage web content, Drupal will have the advantages I list above.

It's more a matter of being better fit for a particular purpose, than some inherent superiority of technology. For building software products in general, including in-house enterprise products, Node, Rails, and others will still be winners. But for managing web content, Drupal comes with enough functionality, security, and developer support out of the box that it will beat custom solutions a lot of the time.

Yup. Apple routers know how to get and advertise IPv6 allocations. IIRC, they'll even establish a (6to4?) tunnel and advertise space in that if the upstream network doesn't have IPv6 service.

New gear is substantially more likely to have good (and on-by-default) v6 support than old gear, but there's a lot of old gear out there as well as many cargo-cult sysadmins. :)

> If you wanted UK rap, you at least used to be able to search for the tags "uk" and "rap", but I can't see that on the new website...

In case of my example such a search would work. However, I guess there are lots of cases where a user doesn't even know what s/he wants. That is: "I want more of the same but it should also be very different"

Now that's quite a task for an algorithm! Also, making suggestions based on empirical user data is rather hard as people are highly emotional, especially when listening to music. Thus, people (in general) are not very predictable when it comes to music.

Individuals might have some core principles when choosing music so that perhaps individual algorithms for individual users could work but coming up with an acceptable one size fits all solution is rather impossible, imo.

Some people are happy when the algorithm suggests another top 40 song they haven't heard yet. Others will loose it when they get more metal songs but none of them is teutonic thrash metal [1]

Now we could empower people by making apps like spotify scriptable so that everyone could refine their recommendation algorithm. But realistically that is not what your average user wants...

Perhaps one could improve the situation by asking the user a few questions when s/he first starts the application. That way the app can choose the best fitting recommendation algorithm from a range of algorithms in the background.

[1] Apparently, this is a thing:

I really enjoyed reading this. It's informative, fun, and has a refreshingly honest tone. Too often, stories passed around by computer scientists entail clever solutions and elegant insight striking the protagonist like lightning in the hour of need. Rarely does the programmer express regret, make self-corrections, and confront fear and doubt along the way:

>I should have written beautiful code from the beginning, but because I needed to learn by writing a working code, the rewriting was unavoidable.

>I should probably change my mind to implement all the features from end to end. I may find it fun as I'm approaching the goal. Sometimes, I have to write more code than I want to write in order to achieve a goal.

>In a tough situation like this, I probably should recall the fact that the compiler was just in one file, to see how much progress I've made in a month. It just reads an integer with scanf() and prints it out with printf(). Really, I made so much progress in one month. Yeah, I think I can do this.
I'm a Gen-Xer and I went to great lengths to avoid getting naked in front of classmates. I still don't like being naked in front of strangers.

I cringe when I hear stories about swimming naked in high school in the 1950s.
it's sarcasm. based on the trend we need at least 7 people to be mad about generics in 2016. or, mad enough to write a blog post about it.
If you're concerned about the negative impact of not being used to seeing naked bodies, maybe fix the way our media and government is terrified of naked bodies instead of forcing people to be naked in front of other people to access basic public accommodations like gyms. This is especially cruel to younger kids when they're going to get harassed.
> Failure to register can result in a hefty penalty, including civil fines of up to $27,500 and criminal penalties of up to $250,000 and three years in prison.

> "The goal is not to be punitive but to get people into compliance," FAA Deputy Administrator Michael Whitaker said.

These two sentences don't seem to mesh for me. Even if they don't plan to actually prosecute any violators (yet), just the threat of that is ridiculous. I guess it's just another tool in the arsenal of prosecutors if they decide they don't like you.
