Thanks for correcting me. I could've sworn I saw annual maximums when I looked on healthcare.gov but maybe I mistook the max out of pocket for a max annual.

The example I used is the case presented in the video. I just googled for Bob Weinkauf.

I was also curious when this happened. Looks likely to be under the ACA unless it took years to hit the news though.

So I don't know. Maybe he went to the emergency room and it was out of network under his plan, leaving him to shoulder the costs. I didn't dig much after skimming for an approximate date.

Who are your major coinvestors in the DAO?

Did any of your coinvestors perform an inside-trade to bet against the company through either a put-option or a short sell?

Because all inside trades of public corporations are publicly documented. Can you really trust your fellow DAO "investors" when you aren't even sure if they're betting on your side?

Nah man, I think classical companies are more transparent. Its very important to keep in mind the insider trades.

Here's all of the insider trades from Microsoft in the past two years:

Now where's the equivalent information on the DAO?

-------------

The DAO is a baby experiment. The first of its kind: a digitally run company. I'll give it credit for that. Unfortunately, it still has a LOT to learn about political trust structures.

No one gives a crap about whether or not board policy was followed. What people care about are inside trades and conflicts of interest, of which the DAO doesn't seem to offer any solace.
Are you sure? Which one? I think the points about narrowly focusing on the value proposition is an particularly important one for internally-focused projects, where the normal business controls around durdling may not be as effective.

https://hackage.haskell.org/package/djinn

Generates code from parameters (types). If parameters form a function, then code will implement it. If function final type is IO a, then implementation code will be side-effecting action.

And, having a function f for a type T, you can ask for a function g that will call f, giving you a type Q. I guess that would stand for "Consuming API".

> A business that was not intentionally facilitating piracy would probably just comply with the DMCA takedown notices and, as a bonus, not have to spend all its time hiding its servers.

I strongly disagree. Look at how many big name American companies have fake HQ's and other such arrangements in other countries in an effort to pay less American taxes. Companies in general try to get out of all kinds of things (taxes, responsibilities, etc) all the time, and doing so is not any kind of admission of legal transgressions.

If I had an American company and I was getting legal threats from an organization in another country that was citing their country's laws, you can bet I'd do everything I could to avoid having to comply... regardless of whether or not I was actually breaking any laws at all.

Not really, just one that looks meritorious enough to a jury of average people.
I've been playing with it over the last couple of days. Having dabbled in Haskell in the 90s it all feels familiar and clean. Really quick to get up and running and the compiler / messages definitely give a lot of guidance.

I'm not deep enough into it to really assess yet, but I suspect the difficulty is how you integrate it with existing JS code. It feels like maybe it's an all-Elm or nothing world, which makes it hard for organisations to take it for a test run when they have an existing codebase to play nice with.

My exploration is an ongoing activity to figure out which framework / methodology is best to continue building our existing product on. We're currently using Angular (1) and some react components. I did some prototyping with Redux (including investigating Sagas) and familiarised myself with RxJS and MobX. I found the boilerplate in Redux distracting some I'm still looking to see what else is out there – would love to hear how others are assessing these tools.
Hold on, you're confusing different viewpoints. The people who contributed stories to the site, and would be the ones to report to the police, are the alleged victims. From their perspective, there is no "presumed innocent". If they are telling the truth about having experienced abuse first-hand, then they know he is guilty of at least their own abuse story and very likely the others, in which case the repercussions you mention would be well-deserved. If they are lying, then obviously their behavior is reprehensible regardless of what exactly the target suffers.

You go on to say that the peanut gallery - from which perspective "presumed innocent" makes more sense, though its level of applicability to public opinion is far from universally agreed on - should not believe the claims, because it has the potential to both cause injustice in this case and set a bad precedent for the future. That may or may not be true, but it doesn't really respond to the original question of "what would you do", if you were victimized yourself. Well, I suppose it can be seen to respond to some extent: if public shaming creates a bad precedent, that's a drawback even if a victim knows the shame is accurate; and if people respond as you suggest by distrusting these sorts of claims, then making them may do more harm than good to one's case, i.e. give people more ammunition to defend the accused with. (And of course that effect has occurred, though it's harder to say whether the site has done more good or harm overall.)

But that just establishes that public shaming has downsides. The problem is that all the other options suck too, if you're a victim of rape or lesser sexual abuse. Obviously doing nothing sucks; the major remaining option is involving the police. For one thing, if you're successful and end up with a public prosecution and trial, this will end up invoking the court of public opinion anyway, which will not necessarily be satisfied by a not-guilty verdict in real court. I suppose you can at least not actively encourage it, but privacy also has inherent downsides. Even if you have enough emotional strength yourself to face the justice system, face your abuser head-on - and that's a big if, statistically speaking, considering the low reporting rates in general estimated for rape - there may be other victims who do not, who may come forward with their stories, providing more evidence, but only if the case is publicized. And of course, if you don't have adequate proof, then the abuser will not be convicted regardless of your emotional state: which is good policy in general but which you know to be an injustice in your own case.

So what would you do? I don't think there's any good answer. Even if public shaming is the least sucky approach in some cases, that doesn't mean it's not problematic and worthy of criticism. It just means that it may deserve sympathy anyway.

It's a straw-man to nitpick only the worst-case scenario - a full-on civil war against a nuke-wielding government.

Syria is an on-going example of people involved in limited engagements with a somewhat modern government, defending themselves with small arms. They don't need to be ideal to be better than nothing.

Even in Syria, a large part of the armed forces refused to fight their own people. I imagine in America it would be a greater percentage, and you'd only be facing limited local insurrectionists. And it'd be enough to hold out for help, rather than battle them to a stand-still ala Rambo.

I showed up at the site (the centered text-search thing is weird btw) and thought "Ok, a friend of mine needs to have dental surgery. How do I put that in a search box?"

The problem is, how much do you actually know about the local service you are trying to get?

Brake pads from a mechanic seems easy, but the person needs to know they only need brake pads. Most people would need to go to a mechanic to tell them they need break pads, maybe they just need their brakes bled, or they have caliper issues.

What's another 'local service' example? Physiotherapy? Is price really the factor you want to decide on?

I'm thinking about the businesses that are local to me which are service oriented (because just e-commerce already has this problem solved).

You'd think plumbing and such would fall into this well, but Angie's List seems to have solved that problem for most home goods.

What are the other goods we own that need local servicing? Computers repair, maybe, but people just go to GeekSquad or whatever else they can find.

I think there are some huge issues in properly defining the market and then understanding the customers your solution might fit, or figuring out how you can solve the issue for the customer, as that is probably the bigger challenge.

Great domain name btw!

Good point, teams need exposure to hospitals, hospices, or rehabilitation centers in order to better understand addressable needs. The market is even less clear for patients who have treatable or terminal illnesses but still have the option to live independently of a care-taking facility. I have met many patients at hospitals who would love to be home with family or in their own space, but can't due to illness. This a large market with the opportunity to increase the quality of life for many people. A great place to start for medtech companies.

I personally witnessed this through my sibling who was diagnosed with brain cancer. It eye opening to see how little innovation is pushed directly consumers. The current U.S. system needs all care to be overseen by the insurance companies. Thus, directly impacting the innovation in market. I am seriously considering shifting roles or exploring opportunities in medtech or biotech. I need to help in any capacity possible.
+1, that's a big pet peeve of mine with respect to all turn-by-turn apps I've ever used. Most of them provide check boxes to avoid toll roads, highways, ferries and drawbridges, and the like. Why in the world don't they offer an option to avoid left turns?

https://github.com/sheepdog/sheepdog/wiki/Sheepdog-Design

They're both basically block storage, with similar approaches to sharding and replication. Sheepdog seems to be using the term "object" more than they used to, but it's important to note that sheepdog objects have semantics closer to files or virtual disks than to S3/Swift style objects. The two also use related approaches (consensus vs. virtual synchrony) for coordination. Most of the differences are related to the fact that Sheepdog has already evolved over several years to have many of the features that are still on Torus's nascent road map. Ceph's RADOS/RBD is only a bit further from either one than they are from each other. None of them are identical, of course, and I never said they were, but from a purely technical perspective Torus's stated goals could have been achieved more quickly by contributing to Sheepdog than by starting a new project.

How to Mount Your Google Drive on Linux
So you're very right about the 'independent diagnosis' part, I took it to my friend's friend to give me an independent diagnosis. It was the only way I learned which brakes (rear, front, both, or neither) needed to be replaced.

I am already trying to monetize by revenue-splitting.

So what happened was, when I went price shopping, I found 2 other friends who wanted their brakes fixed. So I got the idea of calling up shops and asking if they'd revenue split with me: if they'd give me 10% if I could refer them a customer on the spot. 3 of the 10 shops I called for that agreed and said they would. The others were hesitant but not fully against it. 2 were totally against it.

Then I also found a hobbyist mechanic with a home-shop who would do it better than market-price and profit split with me 50-50.

So all in all, I think if I compile comprehensive price list for my city, I could start directing customers for a cut.

What are your thoughts on this part?

Also, thank you so much for the response! I really appreciate it!

Well yeah, if it wasn't constitutional it should be ignored.

The opposite of this is also a viable option in some cases. Create a shared road space where there is no delineation between sidewalk and roadway and pedestrians maintain right of way. It is a planning solution used in some city centres [1]

I remember watching a programme about how they introduced this on a busy city centre road and weirdly it increased traffic flow while also allowing more pedestrian traffic (presumably because people and cars can move simultaneously).

One of the examples in the article is Clinton St, a designated "bike boulevard" in a dense residential neighborhood of Portland, 1-2 blocks south of one of the bigger, cooler commercial streets in the city. This is not a case of suburbanites suffering for their sins in some morality play--some of the best bike infrastructure in the city is what's being overrun by commuters. Neither the people living along Clinton, nor the bicyclists who were incredibly unhappy to lose a low-stress route through the city, are looking to maintain a suburban lifestyle.
Errr, the government in both those cases admits to shooting first, to kill these groups' dogs. At Ruby Ridge, Weaver's son and friend were just behind the dog, at Waco, well, we know one BATF agent climbing a ladder had a negligent discharge and shot a guy underneath him, who did not survive. Contagious fire from the BATF agents after the guy who got shot shouted out is more likely than most other explanations, especially when you note how the government was very certain to destroy everything that might have indicated they shot first and shot the most (the vehicles in the back drop, the front door, the whole complex for that matter). And we know they lied about the denouement, for the Texas Rangers found and inventoried a relatively incendiary "tear gas" round they swore up and down that they never used.

And as I might comment elsewhere, drone operators have to sleep sometime, somewhere, and depend on a huge logistics tail; the US has never fought without a pretty secure rear, certainly not after the War of 1812 (threat of invasion from Canada).
Moral grounds and PR are one in the same. It's your companies morals that are most important to PR. PR is all about communicating your companies morals. Your morals are your PR. Perhaps I'm taking a broader definition of PR than you. I'm not just including money actively spent on PR, PR reps, etc. I'm talking more fundamentally than that - the way your company conducts it's business.

I understand your point. You care more about Google discouraging negative racial speech (I don't like the phrase hate speech as its used too subjectively) than you do software freedom. And from that perspective google made the right PR move.

But, as someone that cares more about software freedom, freedom of speech, etc, I think it's a bad PR move.

In the end, Google will do whatever it think is best in its opinion.

Mild "night terrors" are occasionally a side effect of taking melatonin for me. I will wake up and see a swarm of aggressive insects flying towards me, or a large rat in my bed, or a person in my room who is trying to kill me.

The first few times this happened I reacted strongly, jumping out of bed and running out of the room. It would take me about 30 seconds to convince myself that what I saw was not real, making for interesting conversations with my roommates who sometimes saw me exhibit this behavior.

Now I typically realize quickly that what I am seeing is likely not there, and try to wait to see if it will go away before acting.

I totally agree; getting local businesses to agree is very tough. But I was just going to put their prices without their permission. Like I had to call a bunch of places anyway. Might as well share that with my friends (and whomever would find it useful).

I was hoping this would become crowd-sourced data somehow. Because I need a community of people always updating prices for this to continue working.

I didn't know Yelp was bringing business on-board for quotes. That would mean if I could get this to work ... I'd be competing with a giant.

Filter Data Type While Loading Template File and Convert Chart to PDF Using .NET
Aspose.Cells for .NET 8.8.1 supports filtering the data type while loading spreadsheet.
Filtering data at the time of loading can improve the performance tremendously, especially when used with LightCells APIs. It also provides the ability to set the shadow as text effects for any shape such as TextBox. It also creates data validation for GridCell and enhanced the facility to render charts to PDF. Issues around reading, writing and manipulating Microsoft Excel file formats, converting spreadsheets to HTML files and vice versa, manipulating and rendering charts and shapes are fixed in this release.

Just my opinion, but they do "well" against Americans (Russian, whoever else is foolish enough to weigh in) because the war is asymmetric. They have no issue killing civilians or causing any collateral damage. The US must instead try and precisely get them and only them - and while drone mistakes happen (and they might or might not be mistakes), the US largely has to operate under a completely different and restricted rules of engagement compared with their enemy. The enemy instead folds into the civilian population, making the war extremely challenging.
