Why can't it be both? Everyone is either an introvert or an extrovert, and they sure don't sound like an extrovert, so...

Of course, I'm not a trained psychologist and neither are you probably, so neither of us are qualified to say either way.
It'd be nice if we were in a place where the main ideas in this article, providing the health care people can afford and no more, were somewhat applicable. Unfortunately people in the US literally cannot afford any health care of any kind, aside from over-the-counter items like Band-Aids and cough syrup and those kinds of items won't get you very far. Forgetting this, or leaving it out of the article entirely as the author of this article does, is dangerous and misleading.

It seems obvious but the article forgets to mention that since health care is so expensive and no one can afford it, everyone buys health insurance. Even health insurance has become expensive to the point that no one can afford it, people need a larger organization to help purchase this insurance on their behalf (like their employer or now, the government). Now we've reached the point were even that has become too expensive. The guy in the cube next to me broke his hand skate boarding and is spending almost 1/10th of his salary on covering the cost and he's employed.

For sure, the history of health insurance and health care in the US is complicated and it's not as straightforward. But that is where things are today: unless you are wealthy or work for a wealthy company, health care is the kind of expense that can balloon out of control, despite purchasing insurance. In my opinion, that is what people object so vigorously to: spending money on health insurance (and a lot of it) and still having to miss car and mortgage payments so that they can give more money to doctors and pharmacies and hospitals to keep their spouse or children or themselves alive. You can choose to skimp on food, few of us would choose to willingly lose a loved one because "we can't afford it."

If I had to choose what should be made non-profit, my first choice would be insurance companies. By definition, for-profit companies would like to make more profit every year. There's a clearly unhealthy co-dependency between insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies and hospitals. Fixing it all in one swoop is probably impossible, but one way to make health insurance non-profit is to make it government run. We can't seem to get that done, so now the government is trying to join workplaces in helping people to buy insurance. It's the simplest and probably the only legal solution so that's the one that is being pursued in the US. We'll see how it goes.
PyPy finally got $200K of funding, from Mozilla.[1] They're going to support Python 3.5. PyPy ought to be able to use a version of NumPy written in Python. If someone can pound Python's little tin god into making Python's new type annotations have sane semantics (as in enforcing the typing), then NumPy in Python could come up to NumPy speed.

The amount of C code used with Python declined somewhat with Python 3, because the C interface changed and things had to be reimplemented. There's pymysql, for example, which is a database connector in pure Python. No more need for the C version.

Keep in mind that companies have sued for scraping not through the API, for example LinkedIn, which explicitly prevents scraping via the ToS: http://www.informationweek.com/software/social/linkedin-sues...

OKCupid did a DMCA takedown for researchers releasing scraped data: https://www.engadget.com/2016/05/17/publicly-released-okcupi...

Since both of these incidents, I now only scrape if it's a) through the API following rate limits or b) if there is no API, and the data has the explicit purpose of being shared publically (e.g blogs), I follow robots.txt. Of course, most companies have a do-not-scrape clause in their ToS anyways, to my personal frustration.

(Disclosure: I have developed a Facebook Page Post Scraper [https://github.com/minimaxir/facebook-page-post-scraper] which explicitly follows the permissions set by the Facebook API.)
If I truly have such an absolute right to life, then the State should expend infinite resources in order to attempt to keep me alive forever. No expense should ever be spared.

The "must be willing to relocate to San Francisco" meme now even applies to companies with no presence in San Francisco.
So, that's the other side of the argument? I assume there was at least a reason they specced it this way originally, even if under comparison those reasons wouldn't have held up. Was there any justification, or was it literally ignored?
Good stuff.

I do a good bit of scraping, and made RubyRetriever[1] to make my life easier but it seems like I'm getting roadblocked on occasion, probably due to some of the things you mention in your article.

Is there any way for a site to verify that only their JS and CSS files are linked? Like preventing injection?

I recently stayed at an AirBnB. The host used a keybox that was next to the main entrance of the property which had the key to the house and shared a code with me, so that when I get to the property I can use the code to get the key. The problem I saw with this is that the code was extremely weak. And I suspect, based on the the nature of the code, that the host perhaps doesn't change the code for each guest. I hope they do.
Just using a digital lock wont help if people use weak passcodes etc. and use bad security practices.
Insertion at the head of a dynamic list avoids the issue of amortized complexity, though, since every element in the array needs to be copied on every insert, whether a new array needed to be allocated or not. Unless you're concerned about the time complexity of the memory allocator?
I would say the government is doing something similar, but still mostly different. The overwhelming majority of food decisions still involve end users economizing on resources and providing quick feedback, etc. People mostly understand what they can do to reduce their food costs, and what the tradeoffs are, and obviously-inefficient providers are quickly spotted and competed away.

While not some kind of "pure" free market, it retains the basic form of one, where the government adjustments are the exception, not the rule.

In contrast, the government's role in health care is pretty much defining the system, and you don't have most of the market mechanisms that exist in health care: where people are "doing it wrong", it's not obvious at all, but hidden behind various layers people just accept as given.

Maybe the era of big grids should come to an end.

A neighborhood can share a neighborhood sized grid in a much cheaper way than an utility managing city-sized one. Even more if the only function of the grid is connecting into the nearby big battery and sharing some energy when one of the houses has a problem.

Like all questions, the answer is "depends". :)

E.g. number of kids falling and breaking their arm will be larger, but the population is larger and medical care is better, now. So, overall, I think the risks are actually lower than when I was a kid running around unsupervised.

I don't know about the number of pedophile predators per capita, but I imagine that may be a roughly fixed proportion of the population. Kids now also have cellphones, so that's a lifeline kids never had in the past. So, I'd imagine that percentage would not really rise, either.
Agreed. I think it's a little damaging to use that word.

If it requires someone else to provide it - it's NOT a right because that would infringe on another's rights. It's that simple.

It may be the right thing to do to provide it inexpensively, however.

At the same time - so many people don't exercise, eat crap, get obese and diabetes or other preventable diseases and then overload the system with expenses. I'm not sure how you solve this issue.

Imagine this: you're an adult professional, sitting at your desk looking at a freelance work assignment that needs to be done by tomorrow, weeping with frustration because you've been staring at it for eight solid hours, trying and trying to begin, and you can't because focusing on anything important is like trying to grip a handful of water.

Because you ran out of your meds.

This is what my life is like. If that doesn't sound like a medical condition to you, then I don't know what you're thinking. If you think I haven't tried everything else imaginable to deal with it, you're mistaken. The only thing that works is amphetamines. There's definitely downsides, and if someone showed me a better solution I'd love to try it. But, so far, there isn't one.

Maybe some people take the meds who don't really need them. That's a shame. You don't get to sacrifice my career just to keep some people from getting high.
I'm really glad that there is a bar for psychiatric expertise that ignoramuses like you are in no danger of passing.

What about time and money ? Most people need jobs to pay the rent. But some have cash from a wealthy family. It makes such a big difference but nobody talks about it, which makes those who are trying to do it with no money and on evenings and weekends feel like they're just not trying hard enough.

You aren't morally obligated to do anything, you can go live in a hut in the plains of Montana if you want. But people with ADHD who seek treatment appreciate the efforts of the medical professionals who help them.
I would argue it'd be negligible. We live in a world fueled by fear, primarily because it's now so easy to hear about the edge cases. I used to blame newspapers for this, but it's gotten so much worse with social media. Now even the most obscure topic that would have not warranted the cost of ink is being broadcast to people, made all the more persuasive because of the anecdotal nature of the medium.
perhaps more than the LSP, this should be a textbook illustration of why representations of mutable objects in a program should not be named after entities in the domain whose essential identity is associated with one or more attributes that are mutable in the representation.

Yes, in the example I gave, I agree. Certainly objects such as Rectangles and Squares should be modeled as immutable value objects. Immutability solves the problem completely. The example would perhaps be better if instead of Rectangles and Squares it talked about Windows and FixedAspectWindows.

Extensibility from C isn't there for people to accelerate their slow code, it's much rather there to cooperate with existing libraries, and C is the lowest common denominator there.
Big O notation is used to describe whatever you want it to. The average case is the usual choice, in fact.
In general longitudinal studies demonstrate that hyperactive symptoms typically attenuate by early adulthood, but inattention is much more likely to persist. Reports vary somewhat, but around 1/2 of childhood cases remain diagnosable as adults, and a greater proportion, ~2/3 have persistent characteristic manifestations that adversely affect functioning.

Getting treatment as an adult has become much easier in the last 10 to 20 years. Those of us in the "front lines" have pushed the cause and now it's seldom a problem, except to the extent health care coverage is a problem in general, but that's another issue.

As a generic guess, if your brother still needed treatment when he was 18 or 19 years old, there's a chance he would have persistent functional difficulties, and if so, treatment could be useful. As always adequate assessment is necessary to know what's needed.

The question the article is asking isn't matched by the headline, or the conclusion. The points raised in the article come down to this idea - if we, as a society, want to make sure everyone has access to health care, then we need to decide how to handle the limited resources available. That's true whether you think of health care as a right or not.

Just keep a pointer to the head and tail of the list. You can then append to either end of the list in O(1). When you put a new node at the tail end, use the tail pointer to get to the tail node instead of walking the whole list. Of course, you need to make sure the head/tail pointers are always updated to point to the current head/tail of the list.

Scraping with Selenium in Docker is pretty great, especially because you can use the Docker API itself to spin up/shut down containers at will. So you can spin up a container to hit a specific URL in a second, scrape whatever you're looking for, then kill the container. This can be done via a job queue (sidekiq if you're using Ruby) to do all sorts of fun stuff.

That aside, hitting Insta like this is playing with fire, because you're really dealing with Facebook and their legal team.
On release day, the app itself was great. It had a warmer/colder system with 0-3 paw prints to track down the Pokémons in your vicinity. Hunting down things you missed was a game in itself. When the servers weren't dying, the game was quite responsive too.

Fast forward a week, and the warmer/colder system is broken. All the Pokémons are always 3 steps away, which means somewhere within 1km radius. And you have 15 minutes to find that one you're missing. You can still see them from 100 meters away, and the app is quite responsive when you get close to them. The downtime is unbearable at times, and people are losing items they paid real money for due to this.

Then we fast forward two weeks. People have started reverse-engineering the internal API and are using it to create maps over nearby Pokémons. The brokenness of the tracking system is acknowledged at some convention (not publicly on their site), but no promises are made on fixing it. Niantic starts sending out C&Ds to projects using their APIs, trying to remove bots and tracking websites. Despite their own tracker being broken. The app is now limited to communicating once per 10 seconds, and you can only see Pokémons 70m around you.

After successfully hiring a PR manager, Niantic breaks their deafening silence and tells us that the tracking system will not be fixed. They will replace it with something better. A new app rolls out, now with request signing to combat tracking websites. This takes about 5 days to crack before business returns to usual. People really want to be able to track their Pokémons, and having no ways to do so put a lot of people off. Closing Pokevision made many of my friends quit, because to them, Niantic didn't share their concerns at all.

Finally, the tracking system is replaced with a new one. You can now detect nearby Pokémons up to 200m (vs 1000m before). You still need to get within 70m of them to actually see them though. Niantic also activate an extra tracking system in certain American states, as a beta test. This has been active for about two weeks now without hitting the rest of the player base. Unfortunately, it is based on Pokestops, which are user-submitted landmarks from their previous game, Ingress. A lot of places do not have these at all, or extremely few. This makes the game basically unplayable in rural areas, where you'll rapidly run out of items or never find anything interesting.

For me, personally, I feel this game has great potential, but I really miss more openness from Niantic. What are their plans for the future? Which concerns are they acknowledging? Which are intentional features of the game, and thus ignored? I think this game basically blew up in their faces, and they weren't ready to handle the interest. It's sad that they let this chance go, because I think it will be extremely hard for them to redeem themselves after this.
The loss and subsequent banning of maps and map users made nearly everyone I know stop playing, especially in the total absence of an official replacement or a compelling reason to continue.

Hearing my map ding was enough cause to make me leap out of my chair and run to the nearby park at midnight to catch something I wanted, and there'd usually be the usual lure-users and a few map-users out there at the same time. Once I was out, I'd play for a while, hit a gym or two, maybe finish an egg, and go home. This was still really fun when it was disabled.

Without the map, there's no reason for me to leave my house. There's no group of people at work who stand up when a Blastoise is announced into our #pokemon channel, sending us all on a brief Pokemon/coffee walk down the road.

That's all on top of the poor quality of the game, which the maps and community had overcome.

Niantic being selfish and not understanding their own game or the culture around it seems to have squandered one of the greatest opportunities a company has ever had.

(I get that the maps were spamming them, but that's a technical challenge. A bunch of well funded ex-googlers ought to be up to the challenge of scaling/handling unexpected load for a chance like this.)
I'm most interested in the enshrinement into law of these risk assessments, where if you disagree with the risk assessments you get flagged for CPS or criminal judgement. Even if you 'win', society just imposed a massive, massive cost on you (and your children) for disagreeing about the relative risk of an action.

There needs to be some way of walking this back, but I can't think what that might be except literally trying to get a law in place giving parents broad immunity. I can't even really imagine how such a law would be worded without completely gutting CPS and related organizations in other countries.

The fact it's about a book rather than a scientific article makes me suspicious. Finding people who are untreated and struggling is common. So what's the point of it being a book? Other than cashing in on the "it's all in your head" sentiment? Claiming it's real in a small aside just seems like ass covering.
I think this kind of thing is good for the industry. It may be a good way to avoid the innovator's dilemma.

Big companies often can't take risks developing a new business or product line internally. These startups take on the risk, and get the reward if they succeed -- just like any other startups. The acquiring company gets to innovate without taking risk, which the board of directors might be leery of taking on. It's a win-win for everyone. More innovation happens than would have happened otherwise.

Cisco and Adobe have been known for doing this.

I'm not sure why anyone would object to this. Even if one wants the tech industry to be a perfect meritocracy, one must recognize that even in a meritocracy, people make use of personal connections to get ahead, because connections can be earned through merit. Not all connections are just accidents of birth or other circumstances. If someone gets a job at Google through merit, and succeeds through merit, it is entirely reasonable and just for Google to enter into a spin-in arrangement with him or her.
Well, that's half of the downside presented, the other half is that it's split be server/client connections. I assume this was done because it simplifies the tracking of the next stream identifier, because you can just keep a counter and increment, rather than a table of used streams to check a new random identifier against?

I don't want to add anything further beside asking people who are about to comment how it's not a real disease to read the comments here, written by people who have ADHD or which friends and relatives struggle.
