The problem is that there's no such thing as a pleasant flight these days, at least if you're flying economy. The race to the bottom online fare comparisons kicked off has led to things like baggage charges, tiny seats, etc. becoming standard across all carriers.
> Eden Mills, a small community in Ontario, Canada, is one of them. Charles Simon traveled to Ashton Hayes in 2007 to learn how to translate their approach to his town, adopting the apolitical, voluntary, fun method.

> About 200 towns, cities and counties around the world — including Notteroy, Norway; Upper Saddle River, N.J.; and Changhua County, Taiwan — have reached out to learn how the villagers here did it.

Here is a fun math problem. How many people from other towns need to fly to Ashton Hayes for the town's improvement in carbon emissions to be offset by the increased emissions from people taking government funded flights to learn how to cut carbon emissions.

I think a lot of the visceral opposition to fighting climate change comes when people see the elite (leaders and journalists) who adopt a "good for thee, but not for me" attitude as they fly around to different climate conferences (how many leaders and journalists flew to Paris?) where they talk about measures that will significantly affect the "little guy" but not them.

I think a good way for the elite to show just how seriously they take climate change is to have an absolute ban on travel to a climate conference. Everything should be done via teleconferencing alone.

Going further: Are there any clear examples of companies deciding to /not/ adjust for location? "We don't subsidize your choice of location. This job pays $100k regardless of where you live."

It sounds nice at first glance, but I don't hear about it happening. Is that because no one is attempting or because no one is surviving the attempt?
No one said people should switch jobs. You are filling in the wrong blanks. Thinking outside the box doesn't come easy for you?
I'm aware of no evidence that sugar, as such, causes cancer directly. However excessive use (which means 'normal' consumption in our society) definitely damages your immune system and other systems. This cannot be helpful when fighting any disease.
Medical bankruptcies are the number one reason people file for protection. Don't beat yourself up. I once got a hospital blood test, and they charged me $1100 dollars. When they found out I had insurance through my Union; that total bill went down to $90.00. That's the total price they charged my insurance company. My portion was $7.00. So the medical system is rigged. I find the system very unfair, and it doesn't make any sense economic sense.

O.k., I am obviously not a lawyer, but have dealt with these individuals. If you think you get a funny feeling about your lawyer; walk--they are a dime a dozen. If you have nerves of steel, and are good at research it's not unheard of to do your own bankruptcy. Yes, I know the adage, just there's some people that can do some sophisticated legal work themselfs.

Most lawyers offer a free first visit. See a few of them. Take notes. The slimey ones try to scare you. The moral ones are strait shooters. Double check verything they state. Try to get a money back guarantee.

Back to you medical bankruptcy; hospitals, and doctors say they use the judicial system to get their overpriced fees only sometimes. They do go after thousands of people yearly though. They are basically lie. They get judgements, and force previous patients out of their home. Completely disgusting in my world. If I was a rich dude looking to donate money to a hospital, I would have one question, "Have you ever sued a patient for nonpayment? How many? What were the facts of the case?

If you are forced into bankruptcy, and have a house there's a homestead exemption in most states. I believe it's $125,000. It's not much. I know in Texas it's basically unlimited--which it should be nationwide! No one should be able to touch your home, especially in a medical bankruptcy.

Now if you have a house, and a bank account. String the creditors on for as long as possible. In the mean time, talk to a lawyer about getting rid of assets. You don't want hide assets, by illegial transfers, but it's complicated. Their are ways to hide that house, but it's tricky, but doable. Don't be the idiot that goes deep in collections, and transfers the home into a family members name, and then a week later file for a chapter 7. Again, talk to a lawyer if you have assets.

The whole process scared me. Be strong! Everything will work out, especially in a medical bankruptcy. I was so scared over my financial difficulties at one point, I considered committing suicide. Talking to the right lawyer, a guy who basically told the truth--really settled me down. I knew he was my guy when he said, "All my clients lie about they annual income."

(Don't take advice too seriously form Internet chat rooms, or even myself. There is still so much wrong information, even by porported lawyers. I didn't help you much, but you seem to have a straight forward bankruptcy. Don't let this ruin you life. I spent so many unneeded nights worrying. I won't even say good luck, I don't think you have a sticky bankruptcy. As to lituraure, Nolo Press is pretty good, but they too make mistakes. Learn how to do legal research. Become familiar with bankruptcy codes/procedures for your state.)

And what do you mean speculate? What's the point of giving medication if it doesn't help?

By "speculate" I mean it didn't demonstrably improve health, but the authors speculate that maybe it will later.

Stopping smoking and drinking is part of healthcare. At least in the UK.

Try to follow the discussion. We were originally discussing the statement "You have a concern - you go to the doctor". andreasklinger proposed that this is why EU medical systems are cheaper.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12331398

Your own source - a political op-ed published in a medical journal, disagrees with this claim:

Our findings suggest that the broad generalizations made by many presidential candidates can be misleading. These statements convey the message that substantial resources can be saved through prevention. Although some preventive measures do save money, the vast majority reviewed in the health economics literature do not.

The fact that obesity reduction might improve health is great, but totally unrelated to the topic at hand. Telling people to stop smoking and being obese != "you have a concern - you go to the doctor".

No one disputes that your health will go up if you eat right, exercise and stop smoking. You are arguing against a straw man.

Also, your own source does not address the marginal question that I asked. I asked for evidence that "providing more preventative care will either save money or make people healthier".

Your article says: In addition to determining which preventive measures and treatments are most efficient, it will be necessary to identify those that are not yet fully deployed and those that could serve a large population and bring about substantial aggregate improvements in health at an acceptable cost. Findings that some cost-saving or highly efficient measures are underused would indicate that current practice is inconsistent with the efficient delivery of health care. Other services might be identified as overused, and such findings would underscore the importance of fashioning policies that provide incentives to shift practice toward more cost-effective delivery of health care.

Your article says we need to carefully target which interventions are worthwhile, cut the ones that aren't, and refocus on the underused ones that are. That's not disagreeing with me at all!
Same. I actually hadn't heard of it before going there on a business dinner. The food and service were great, but we were also given a tour of the restaurant afterwards and the size and richness of the history there is staggering. I think the restaurant takes up the entire city block on 2 floors, with about 9 different dining halls / rooms for large catered events, intimate occasions, etc. a massive underground cellar, etc. Very cool experience...

I admitted to the existence of radio clocks in my initial comment, you don't need to convince me.

I'm simply stating that the cost of a full IP stack is exceptionally minimal, and getting smaller. That's kind of the reason why we're ending up with the Internet of Shit / Internet of Threats.

Of the whole list of things from Gernsback's illustration, it's probably the most sensible.

The other lesson -- to not get fucking bogged down in minutia and definitions -- is to realise that his "radio world" really boils down to a few distinct elements:

1. A communications medium. Gernsback uses radio. We'd probably generally use Internet, though that can run over radio links (packet radio is a thing).

2. A controlled system.

3. Some sort of control mechanism itself.

4. Feedback and response (it's not much good to send signals to an RC plane or boat if you can't monitor its location and surroundings).

5. Other facilities. The "radio phone" for example has that element that's central to most messaging and social systems: a directory. Databases, billing systems, etc.

Thing is, we're living in Gernsback's world, we just don't consider it to be a "radio" world, and to a large part it's not, though radio can and does act as part of the media linkage. The real business opportunities though seem to lie elsewhere. Mostly in advertising. Or pyramid building.

Though from what i can see, the GMC looks to be still drivable? The tesla seems totalled.
I never had a problem with a manual transmission in heavy traffic. If you look some five to ten cars ahead to anticipate what is going on and leave a bit of space, you don't have to come to a full stop. You can use first gear to creep very slowly, if necessary. Also, as long as you have some forward momentum, the clutch picks up very easily in second. I handled most congested situations in second gear with just clutch work every now and then.

Also, if I had to come to a full stop, I wouldn't start again if it was obvious that the car ahead of me would be only able to move three feet before coming to a full stop again. Automatic transmission drivers tend to stare at the bumper of the car ahead of them and track every minute movement.
I don't see how this is fair. Zip code discrimination is a thing and should be treated as the same level as other discrimination. If not, why not paying less someone who lives in Oakland than in SF?

Warren Buffet has so much money in his control that he cannot beat the market - his very investments change the value of the good companies he invests in - and not in his favor. He can make small bets of companies, but even if the bets all pay off (they will not - even great investors make mistakes) it isn't enough to be very significant.

Why not just get some low mid tier shoes like Clarks? I spent 3 years of high school with one pair of Clarks boots—they died shortly after graduation. Never had them repaired. The second pair lasted about 2 years since I moved to a city where you walked way more. Definitely worth it.
I lost both my parents last year to cancer. Both were Christians, and so am I.

I know many people find Christianity and the subject of faith to be uncomfortable, even offensive. But that's because the Christian message _is_ offensive. It makes claims that exclude all other options, that evil is real and that we are responsible for it. To me, either the message is true or it isn't. There is no grey. Either Jesus Christ was a liar, a lunatic, a legend, or He is Lord God Almight.

Penn Jillette, the famous atheist and half of Penn and Teller had it right, that if we removed all the scientific research in the world we would be able to rebuild it all, but religions would be all different. I agree with him, and so does the Bible. It says that God reached down to us, delivered messages in ways that statistically rule out purely human effort, and gave us a choice to trust Him or not (have a look at http://thebibleproject.com) . In the end, everyone's going to get what they want (if you want Jesus Christ you get him, if you don't you won't). That's why for my Dad and I, we both had to be convinced that the Bible was not simply human in origin.

Whatever your view, I can only speak to my own experience. The loss of my mom September 1st, 2015 to double-hit lymphoma was very, very painful (she was 68). But in the midst of the pain was a hope and peace as explained in Philippians 4:4-9 (http://bit.ly/phil4_4-9). Then, unexpectedly 120 days later, my dad died from lung cancer (age 72), leaving my brothers and sisters and I with a property and 47 years of marriage and memories for us to sort through and deal with.

We are all going to die. The question is not if but when. To put off the discussion about what happens after you die is to deny reality itself, and telling others not to have that discussion or that their position is stupid or foolish is really dumb. Oh, and in case you think the Christian message is foolish, the Bible agrees with you that it is http://bit.ly/1cor1_18-25

First, for the general Reader:
Outside of really breast/ovarian cancer, getting most common cancers at a young age is fairly within your control.
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/06/upshot/helpless-to-prevent...

Pieter doesn't have a common cancer and he's way beyond that stage within stage IV cancer. In general it's really rude to say "fight more" because he's right, what do you think these patients are doing instead, joining the circus?
Fighting isn't a great metaphor. The reason it got introduced was so that Reagan would create the National Cancer Institute, a Division of the NIH. A full page ad was taken out by Mary Lasker and the American Cancer Society to convince him that researching the causes and cures for cancer was a US healthcare priority (and to be frank, at the time, it essentially was) asking him to declare war on cancer in the NY times because the US was in the middle of the cold war. The other thing that the add did (along with the creation of the Jimmy Fund) was it normalized discussions of cancer in the US at that time.
To explain how much of a big deal that ad was, my maternal grandmother died around 1973-1974 of cancer. The ad came out in 1969. My maternal grandfather is only now settling the argument if it was metastasis of her internal breast cancer from when she was younger, new breast cancer that spread to the bones, or a totally new bone cancer, because now we talk about cancer, whereas in 1969 -73 talking about cancer was difficult if not possible.

Aa a personal note to Pieter, if he sees this:
1) I'm extraordinarily happy you are doing as well as you are in your end of days and I hope you are enjoying them to your fullest. i hope, for whatever it's worth, you are still experiencing moments of joy too.
2)im slightly concerned as an American about your distrust of marijuna at this stage, especially since it seems like low pain and enjoying food is a high priority for you. In the US, marijuna is partially approved (don't ask) for cancer patients as an appetite stimulant and pain suppressor, and many of the chemicals in it are made synthetically and prescribed to cancer patients for the same purpose. Meanwhile, many opiates are appetite suppressants (that's the other reason behind the Medrol). Since you deserve to enjoy your time and have as many thalis as you want, just think about it. (Again, I'll totally admit that this is a bias of seeing Americans treated)
3)do you need help getting the paperwork done. On a percentage scale, how much is left? How much can be done by volunteers/family/friends? (And I hate asking this, how much is in English, because I'm happy to volunteer, but I'm an English speaker...)
4)thalis. Mmmm. Thalis.
I worked for one of the biggest penny auction sites. I'll address some things in this thread.

One key thing the author left out was "free bids". You can win auctions that give you bids. So, for instance, you spend 10 bids and get lucky and win a 2500 bid pack. When bidding on the auction, an outside observer can't tell if you're using a bid you paid for or a "free bid" you won on the site or gained in some other mean (some auctions may be a product + free bids). So while it looked like the guy spent $3,500, he may have only spent $100 of his own real money.

Some sites even stop you from spending over the retail value of the site. The one I worked for let you buy the item if you spent bids that equaled the retail value. And we were fair with the retail value of items. We had people whose job it was to source products so we could afford to sell items at retail. If you lost the auction, you could also pay the difference between the value of your bids and the retail price and buy the item that way. So if the item was $150, and you spent $100 in bids but lost, you could pay $50 and get the item anyway.

Yes, some of these sites use bots. You can buy pre-built penny auctions sites and you will see they contain bots. The site I worked for never used bots while I worked there. I'd be surprised if any of the bigger sites use bots, as it's not needed and can be pretty obvious to detect with basic statistics. And you definitely have a certain type of person on this site who is running statistics and trying to beat the game.

These sites can actually be used to find a good deal, if they offer the retail option I mentioned above. Imagine you plan on buying a 65" TV. You try out a penny auction site and win it for $100, or end up having to pay retail for it anyway. The main loss would be paying shipping, which admittedly for a TV would be a lot. Personally, I never used one of these sites. It's just too stressful and slow for me (auctions can last for hours).
Sure. And part of that is education.

You should sometime in your life learn "If it's too good to be true, it probably is".

See a $180 tablet for $18? Assume it is a massive scam. Only after a TON of googling and talking to people should you even consider it, but even then, it is too good to be possible and you should just skip it. Either save the $180 to buy the real thing, or don't have one.

So many scams are not possible of the end user is not greedy. Nigerian Prince, etc. etc.

That's true; of course the question can be a departure point into material science: what are the issues in bending a sheet of aluminum (or any other material) N times, or whatever, including the stretching and compression that takes place at the bends and so on. The context of it here being a pure geometric exercise is established early on.
I'm not sure you've correctly interpreted that quote.

most of participants who were aware [...]
had been tested [...] in our lab.

This does not preclude any blood draws, in which the subject is tested, but not informed of results and infection status.

They can test samples drawn expressly for the experiment, and not inform the individual, and then still use the lab-verified determination of infection status in the results. They can take blood, find out, and not tell the people if they are infected, even if they didn't know, and let them stay infected without knowing.
I've been working remotely for 8 years. I work mostly for 3 different clients (so not only one company) and I charge by the day.

In total, I earned $210k (before tax) last year. I'm more of a digital nomad (part of the attraction of having a remote job) than really based in a specific but mostly alternate between countries in Europe and Asia renting an apartment for 2-3 months at a time.

Most important thing when working remotely is discipline and communication. Since you're not with the customers in their office, you need to really produce results and make sure they see those results.
I dunno about causes, but it is known that, unlike our bodies and brains which can run on glucose or ketones, that cancer can only run on glucose. Some of the more-promising research specifically relates to starving cancer cells of fuel. Your body can still make glucose fuel out of all kinds of stuff, including protein, though.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metformin is a type 2 diabetes drug that, through usage, has appeared to yield cancer-suppressing benefits. Studies underway, and some notable scientists are beginning to take it prophylatically.

It seems like nd4j has everything you need. Just remember, when seeing calls to the `np.dot()` function in python's numpy that it is the "dot product" operation on matrix, which is also known as standard mathematical matrix multiplication, which in turn nd4j is calling `mmul` ("matrix multiplication", in "Linear Algebra Operations" section).

When numpy is using the * operator between two matrices, it basically just does a cell by cell multiplication

ie:

result_matrix[x][y] = matrix1[x][y] * matrix2[x][y]

Wow, that's a lot of anecdata and personal feelings. The truth is that pretty much any car on the market today will protect its occupants in a crash.

More anecdata: my wife was in an accident last Friday - she hit a deer at highway speeds. The front of the vehicle crumpled significantly and the steering wheel airbag deployed, and she was totally fine. This was in a 6 year old Toyota Yaris.

I want my family back in a Yaris. Or any other vehicle with a 4 star or better NHTSA rating. It really doesn't matter which.

This tends to make them really really good deal for an employee in Mississippi, and a really really bad deal for someone in NYC or SF.

My take? A business wants the best employee it can get for the dollar. If your best employee for salary X is some guy in Mississippi, then so be it. If only a guy in NYC can fill your need, then I guess you need to raise your rate.
