>we had some new neighbors from there who moved to the US because they couldn't get adequate care north of the border.

That sounds fishy. There may be long wait times here for some common procedures but waiting a few months versus paying hundreds of thousands of dollars, what's worse?

My dad has COPD and another lung disease along with the usual cardiovascular health problems plus age related problems if he wasn't here he'd have to pay probably $100,000 for drugs each year.

The way I explain it is having access to free healthcare all your life makes for consistent health. It's like brushing your teeth each day keeps them healthy instead of ignoring them then one day pulling out rotten teeth and thinking that solved the problem.
>To counteract this, the better AWD cars are fitted with a center differential that contains a clutch or viscous drive unit. This splits torque front-to-rear, directing it away from the spinning wheel.

The differential contains a nifty little clutch. When the vehicle detects no traction, it engages and sends the torque to the correct location. Otherwise you'd end up in a situation similar to engaged cruise control with no traction. Limited slip differentials and locked differentials cause much confusion.
I don't agree here. It's both. It's a market failure when the price point (or transparency around the prices) doesn't convince new entrants to persevere through the existing regulatory process. It's market failure when the interests of all stake holders aren't successfully incorporated into the pricing. It's not a regulatory failure that the FDA has higher standards than the offered alternatives - we can't lower standards just to encourage new entrants. But it IS a regulatory failure when the FDA doesn't communicate with the FTC such that unnatural monopolies aren't controlled for, or that the FDA/FTC isn't communicating to the pharma industry that new entrants are required in order to prevent such monopolies from occurring. The FTC should be more "cross-border" effective with the government's own agencies.
We should not get our hope too high. It is 6.3 billion light years away, the signal generated even before our solar system existed. See also "Possible Signs of Extraterrestrial Intelligence?" [1] from February discussing the then hot Tabetha's Star / alien megastructure.

The Waipio Valley road, as I understand it, is mostly paved but extremely steep and narrow/twisty. So the 4x4 requirement is probably more about being able to control speed without burning up brakes and dealing with often wet conditions.

However, in the general case throughout most of the US West, "4WD roads" do indeed tend to be as much about having high clearance as about having 4WD per se. It's also just a way of saying that, if you just have a random rental car and aren't used to driving very rough and often narrow/exposed roads, this is probably not a good idea.

The GRiD was popular in the upper echelons of the government and military, since it was so well built, and a highly expensive and respected status symbol. I don't know if it's true, but I heard that a GrID computer actually saved the life of Mossad agent by stopping a bullet.
Jesus what a SHIT article It gets so many things wrong I don't even know where to start.

Why is this garbage spam on Hacker News?
I think programming is for adults. Programming abstractions we use and ways of thinking are tailored to an adult's brain. I think that "programming" environments for children are SOMETHING DIFFERENT than real-world's programming. I don't see how what you learn in the former translates to the latter.

I remember actually not liking programming when introduced in a school. They didn't teach abstractions like functions, data types but rather long, math-oriented series of instructions which needed visualizing in a notebook to understand (I think environments like MIT's Scratch are something similar). I only started to love programming when I saw it consists mainly of things like functions, objects, different data types. But this kind of things is probably too abstract for a kid to understand.

Ianal but I find the idea of this approach being legal to be astounding.

If nothing else, many firm have attempted to sue security researchers for computer intrusion - if nothing else, based on the EULA not allowing that kind of thing. I used to think of that kind of lawsuit as really sleazy but with this, everything seems fair game.

Plus it seems possible that libel or insider-trader laws could be leveraged here given that they too are pretty flexible.

Anyway, pure speculation, I'd be curious what lawyers thought.

Really amazing article. When you take away all the garbage(from day to day life), these interactive experiences are why I continue to really love Computing. Thanks
Most of the time these things annoy web developers as well since it was not something they want to do and add. The reality is that designers, management and clients just come up with something in their heads and you have to do it. Another thing that annoys me personally is that they worked on it for a week or a month and then they expect developers to magically put it online in a day. They took their time finishing their jobs and then they apply pressure for stuff to be up as soon as possible.
Normally I would 2nd this, but it does not apply on this particular 4x4 road. It really sucks when opposing traffic appears as it's barely wide enough for 1 vehicle in most parts:

The road gains 800 vertical feet (243.84 m) in 0.6 miles (0.9 km) at a 25% average grade, with steeper grades in sections. This is a paved public road but it is open only to 4 wheel drive vehicles. It is the steepest road of its length in the United States.

> The downside is you shouldn't use it over 10mph or so.

That's not strictly true, and varies between implementations/transfer case designs. In Jeep Wranglers, for example, which have both high and low gearing options in 4WD, the owner's manual will indicate that you can drive at any speed (on loose surfaces such as sand or dirt) in 4HI and 0–25 MPH in 4LO.
Quick note, it should be "might have" or "might've", rather than "might of".
On my android phone, the mattermost app does something weird to my keyboard - it replaces the right-most 1/3 of the spacebar with a key with a '->|' symbol on it that closes the keyboard when pressed. I've never seen any other app do this, and it's (of course) really annoying because it means when I try to hit the spacebar the keyboard closes instead.

That's just one of a couple issues I have with the app (push notifications not really working, the chat taking 15 seconds to reload everything upon switching back to the app, etc) that have basically made it useless to me.
Or is it the manufacturer being unethical?
Well,

There's a reason journalists have a code of (supposed) ethics. Anyone engaging in investigations for this kind of profit clearly has given up their claim to ordinary journalism (but hey, if this kind of business took off, things might be worth it).

Voters are not keen on being governed by a government they didn't elect, if you look at it that way then you can see the civil war as the final step in the consolidation of the democratic authority that was vested in the US president as the only directly elected official in the federal government.

The south didn't vote for Lincoln and attempted to secede with the US president initiating the war to overturn the local state's right to do so.

I think a lot of europe's problems would be fixed by making the office of the EU presidency a directly elected office in a similar fashion to the US presidency. The EU would still require further centralization to maintain the eurozone and to further deepen the EU single market. They are just required to maintain our current levels of wealth and to fix the banking crisis that has never really been solved in the EU.

A single individual with a policy platform that has gained legitimacy through campaigning in all EU member states would settle questions related to the future of the union and will be best placed to implement and direct policies that benefit the majority of the EU population.

The carried interest provision is a tax benefit offered to some investors, allowing them to multiply their reward in successful ventures by giving them extra tax breaks when those they fund turn out to be wildly successful.
/ tl;dr

My opinion is that the tax code has long favored the few at the expense of the many, and this loophole is no different.

Rather than concentrating allocation of this reward to a few non-risk-averse investors as extra tax breaks, let things like Regulation A+ actually start working (https://www.sec.gov/rules/petitions/2016/petn4-699.pdf), which can spread reward over a greater number of people who can let it contribute to their ordinary income.
So, do you still use sysv-rc on your Debian/Mint? I've been trying to hold on to System-V on a Debian for what, about 2 years?, but some bugs found their way in after all and I gave up.

I didn't say it's easy, or that there shouldn't be compensation! All those people add value and some of their work is very difficult. But difficulty of work is not the basis upon which they have large ownership stakes. Many jobs are not nearly as easy as they seem, but most merely pay a wage or fixed salary.

The founder controls the legal business entity and contributes capital assets and real or intellectual property. The financier purchases ownership directly. This is why they "deserve" to appropriate the value created by the company in perpetuity.

The founder may have done a lot of hard work in creating that intellectual property (including brand) in the first place, but it is the legal ownership of it that he trades for ownership in the company, not his hard work. In other instances it's possible to simply purchase IP or brand outright in the formation of a business. The commonality in these cases is legal ownership and the trade of capital assets, not hard work, whether their job is one I could not do personally, etc.

The Euro project has basically demonstrated that a common currency ia not possible sustainably without an fiscal union - ie. Willingness to underwrite each others debt and transfer wealth from richer to poorer areas.

A fiscal union requires a true political union and it is very doable given the right political stimulus - the most successful recent major example being India which unified dozens of princely states (a couple of them merged forcefully) and provinces speaking dozens of languages and having wildly different cultures into a federal political union - the unifying political stimulus being throwing out the British :-)

I disagree. Where I work, we have one person that does all the hedging, price calculations and other financial modeling and he only uses Excel. The only practical downsides to his use of Excel it's that he doesn't have direct database access so we generally need to create the initial reports to give him the data and secondly Excel can only hold a little over 2M rows.
Can you point me to an explanation of the differences between the 'lodash.throttle' module and importing 'lodash/throttle'?
One thing that this article only touches on briefly is that more and more AWD systems today are just open differentials plus the TCS instead of using more expensive and heavier limited slip differentials. These modern systems are lighter and cheaper but they have disadvantages; not least of which is that using the brakes to force power to move around wastes torque, and it's only going to be as good as the sensors. If the ABS/TCS system has any issues your AWD goes out too.

I've owned cars with every type of AWD system (Audi, Subaru and currently a Honda) and day to day they all work just as well. Given that, I suppose the manufacturers are ultimately right to go with the cheaper and weight saving system.
I think WebAssembly will replace asm.js soon.
That depends on what the definition of "is" is.
I don't disagree with your point, but just wanted to point out that "Anyone who did an economics 101 class" is usually not the best people to get advice from. Economics is field where the agreed mainstream consists of some simplistic views of how an model economy could work in a sort of "perfect vacuum" where certain unrealistic parameters apply: perfect information and perfect competition, for example. The real value to economics as a discipline does not lie with the introductory concepts, but rather on everything learnt after Economics 101, i.e. the mess that is the real-world economy which features transaction costs, political institutions, and all of the aggregated effects of 7 billion agents with different psychology.
If I was Greek and had savings I would want to stay in the Euro, the idea of switching back to the drachma with it's likely inflation would be worrying. On the other hand I wouldn't leave my savings in a Greek bank.
Hmmm.....

I think you have a great story to tell. You're a growth marketer learning engineering, so that you can be a one-man growth shop for an early-stage startup.

Bootcamps aren't magic salves, and it can often take 3-4 months for the average grad to find a job. That said, I think you have a much better story than the average bootcamp grad, who are usually coming from completely unrelated fields. You could hit up literally every single seed / series A-ish startup and pitch them to own growth.

They're fascinating animals. They are also apparently one of the most aggressive animals in the world, and pound for pound the most formidable. I'd be much more scared of a wolverine than any dog. Besides the teeth, with which they can crush bones like a hyena, they also have huge claws. They're worth reading about (and avoiding fights with).
You right that's why I said 10 or so. Try taking a turn at 25 in 4LO. I'm not sure of the use case for 25 in LO. My Grand Cherokee can operate the same way but I doubt I would go into LO at those speeds. It also will switch to 4HI when it detects wheel slip.

A friend of mine had a old truck that would randomly switch to 4LO on the highway. It's pretty scary driving 60 and having 4LO switch on.
Mechanically a drivetrain has no means of differentiating between a tire that is slipping vs a tire at that's on the outside of a turn. A 4wd car with three open differentials will absolutely send all of the engine power to one slipping wheel.

The author is describing the tricks used to get around that fact. Namely locking differentials or limited slip differentials. The end result is a fraction of the torque makes it to other Wheels depending on the design of the drivetrain. The author spent a lot of time on locking differentials when those are rare. Limited slip differentials are more common. Most awd cars will have a LSD in the center diff.

There are torsen diffs which do what you describe but they are rare.
The problem with economists is you get a different answer to the same question depending on their political leanings. No wonder it's called the dismal science.
Ask HN: Is there a programming language with embedded testing support?
There are many dimensions to programming languages that range from systems to scripting, weakly typed to strongly typed, dynamic to static typed, purely functional to statefull, imperative to declarative, etc...

There are also very few languages that focus on correctness and contracts to help create programs that have fewer bugs. Yet The mayority of languages simply focus on "getting things done", so to speak, and leave testing and correctness out of the picture or add them later on.

Granted, testing support can be added later via libraries and frameworks, but I wonder: in the continuum of program correctness, is there a language that perhaps does not provide full proof/correctness/contract support but does come with testing right out of the box, either in its implementation or philosophy?

Also related question: do you know of any language that was specifically designed to encourage and/or make testing easier for its programs?

Even though I didn't get the "joke" for a recent post about Go[0], I still think it's interesting to ask.

The issue is the speed of light is so big. So, you need a LOT of energy in order to source gravity comparably to just a little bit of mass (essentially, because E=mc^2 -- or perhaps phrased more clearly in this case, m = E/c^2).

Even Newtonian Gravity can bend light classically, by Galilean relativity. But, weirdly, it essentially hinges on the fact that the the mass m of the photon cancels from m*a = GmM/r^2. Of course, that is really the equivalence principle---the acceleration of all things under gravity's influence is the same.
Whether or not light is a source of Newtonian gravity... I'm not sure. It's a tricky question because m=0. I want to say no because the "equal and opposite" forces should both be 0, even though one of them effects an acceleration on the other. I should emphasize that I'm not sure!

In Einsteinian gravity, the paths of photons (and indeed all things) are bent because spacetime itself is curved.
Classical electromagnetic static fields and waves certainly have an energy density that can source gravity, and individual photons do too. But their energy is on the order of hbar. So you're talking a source of gravity like hbar/c^2. THIS IS REALLY TINY unless the photon's frequency is ENORMOUS.
No, usually you can't do this math.
One great video-course I can think of that fits your question is perhaps "Programming for everybody", by Dr. Chuck. I followed one of his other courses on language theory, and enjoyed it a lot. You can find it for free @ https://www.coursera.org/learn/python
Carrying the analogy further, what would have made Euro work I guess is pushing hard for political.a nd fiacal union during the 60s/70s given the threat of Soviet Union and the recent experiences of wars.

There's no real driving factor today for political union today so it is likely Euro as it stands may not last our lifetime.

The problem is that the statement at the end of films is always a lie, even for fantasies.

There is a misunderstanding, mainly among people who write themselves off as uncreative, that creative people are endowed with a gift, where they can come up with stories out of nothing. The truth is, they are all inspired by past stories and experience, and characters are based on parts of themselves or relatives or friends or people in a newspaper.

There has never been a story created out of pure nothing, that is utterly original in every way, ever.

I think many people posess a self-image that race is not a salient characteristic in their thoughts and they describe this as being "not racist". There is a premise in discussions about race that being racist (judging someone because of their race) and acting racist (treating someone differently based on their race) are two different things. We act not-racist to prove that we are not-racist in our brains. The accusation of racism can be rebutted by the argument that you can't read my mind.

The implicit bias test shows that either this brain-focused definition of racism is wrong, or we need to accept that we are more racist that we would like to admit.
