Most of the reason that people click on anything on this site is directly because of the title, so if I have particular expectations that the title fails to meet, then it's fair game for commenting.

Reading you, I feel you believe free market is some sort of God that cannot ever be contested, and everything should be the same/consistent. The real world is way more complex. Healthcare is not like food.

>if govt controlled healthcare works, then govt controlled everything and anything could work.

Absolutely not: we have enough examples showing the opposite. Govt-controlled food prices usually does not work, and bargaining drug prices betwen a state and private companies actually does, in many countries!!

Free market is a tool, very efficient to serve the people in most cases. But if that tool does not work very well for the people of the Unites States in a particular industry, why not change the rule in that industry?

Afraid of entering of world of complexity where free market is not the only, systematic solution?

Yup! League is an ever-growing community and despite all the negative feedback r/leagueoflegends is giving Riot, I think they've done alright by their players. They made the game very accessible and fun to get into, aside from the rune system which Riot has changes planned for in the upcoming 2017. Don't play much anymore, but I keep in touch with news, changes and the like. Just wish they would change something about the e-sports scene.

Never said I didn't, but you have to take everything in context.

If you take a pharmacist that has to be specially trained/certified to compound, plus one of the most potent/dangerous narcotic prescription painkillers out there and put them together, maybe $3,000 is the right price? I don't know how much any of those steps costs. Or what someone's time is worth there.

> By 2020, we will have 2 orders of magnitude more data.

Sure, but so will Google. Their latest claim is > 1.5m autonomous miles and thanks to their Streetview project they have a ton more detailed mapping data than that.
Agreed. Like everybody else obsessed with making housing even more expensive, they're going to be doing pretty much the exact opposite of helping.
Yeah, though not so much that some kind of legislation should be found that creates a balanced outcome, but that just even broad strokes of some vanilla whistleblower protection legislations are themselves reasonable and balanced, and hence should apply in the security setting too.

> There was also a massive national security compromise in the US ability to conduct surveillance.

but, but that's the whole point of the exercise, isn't it; the curtailment of mass surveillance? I mean, we're talking about a public agency; it needs to act within a clear public mandate when striving to reach its goals. It is not an end in itself, so when it oversteps its mandate, its not in fact providing any public good, but diminishing it, and so hindering it in further action on this course is in the public interest.

So sure, having the public aware that it engages in mass surveilence and bulk collection on both its citizens and non-targeted citizens of the world more generally -- is inconvenient to the agency, but is a win for the public. And consequently so are any actions third parties then take to make its life more difficult -- because really it is the rouge party here!

Something seems upside down to me in this logic where obscuring the price you pay for a public service can be permissable simply because people expect some reasonable level of that service. And hence the scandal of realizing the true cost of that service, and the public finding it too expensive can be seen as a story that has two sides, merely because any limits that public may decide to put on the price naturally cause the quality of the service to degrade. But,but if the public isn't the one that decides on the quid pro quo here, who the hell is being served here anyhow??

Surely if its the public that's served by a public agency, then a person who uncovers that the agency is costing us way way more than is known and than it claims - even under oath to the congress for christ's sake - is a desirable correction, for no decision could even be made under false information.
Why does the site need a Donate button shoved in my face. Auto opt-in to mail list is also selected. Also for a petition do they really need my home address and rest of the details? Shouldn't name and email suffice.

Happy to sign the petition but not at this site. Is there a way I can send a letter myself to the president?
Correct! You are typically responsible for the list price, not the net price the payer pays.

So, you pay $300 for the drug (list price). The insurance company uses that $300 to pay the drug company, which in turn, rebates $150 back to the payer. Pure profit!

If you are just responsible for the co-pay it works better. You pay $30, the payer pays $270 and the manufacturer rebates $150. Overall, the drug costs $150, $30 coming from you and $120 (net) coming from the payer.
I meant different patterns for acceleration/braking. More aggressive v.s. less aggressive. If it's all within the realm of a safe ride, they could eventually optimize the AI driver better to the passenger.

In my case, I like having a more aggressive driver as long as they keep things safe. Others prefer "10 and 2 while keeping it exactly at 55 mph".

Exactly correct. But note that

> your entry point would be unable to run anything while dependencies are awaiting

is very different from the situation with synchronous I/O (in a single-threaded environment).

With sync I/O, not only is your entry point unable to do anything (which is what it chose to do, by using `import` instead of `import()`), your entire app is unable to do anything! So other entry points are also blocked.

Even worse, since sync I/O blocks the event loop, it prevents the user from interacting with your web page or Node app---e.g. scrolling, clicking links, pressing Ctrl+C to exit, and so on.

None of those people were put in jail for the rest of their lives. Binney, Wiebe, Loomis, and Roark were never arrested, let alone charged, let alone "with crimes that could put them into jail for the rest of their lives". Drake was charged --- he was believed to be the source for the NYT's blockbuster story on NSA surveillance --- but those charges were dropped.
This notion that AI/ML requires tons of data that only big tech companies have is at least partly a myth.

Big private datasets are important only in narrow domains - if you want to train an ANN to do ad prediction or something in medical imaging, sure.

But longer term and for the most valuable applications, the required data is plentiful and free. The data advanced robots (ex. self-driving cars) and AGI need to learn is all around us and it is free. Progress here is limited by compute/algorithms, not data.
"Finally, G.M. enjoys the regulatory advantage of producing a fleet. Because the high-mileage, zero-emission Bolt helps the company stay under the federal government’s fuel-economy standards, it perversely allows G.M. to keep selling more profitable, gas-guzzling cars, like the Tahoe S.U.V. As a result, G.M. could lose money on each Bolt and still find the overall project valuable to its bottom line."

So, in addition to the advantages of mass production, GM can actually sell these cars at a loss, producing more value for the money.
I really don't think this is it.

I think more than anything it's the amount children share in common. Adults are lame. The world is big. There's a lot to do and a lot of time to do it in. If you're a kid and you meet another kid odds are you live in the same town or at least region, go through the same school system, are roughly socioeconomically similar, and (thus) have a lot of things you can do together.

At work I really don't know much about my co-workers. I would go grab a beer and watch the game with someone if I knew they were interested, and from there we could hang out more -- but I don't. We spend all day near each other, at the EOD I just want to go home.

So my theory is that as adults most of us have fulltime jobs where we're always near people we don't spend much time with, and have no time to enter social circles afterwards.

Honestly, the expectation of sex or status.

Between the sexes there's a unspoken expectation that if we like each other enough, we will end up together. If one or both parties are taken, it's kind of hard to form relationships, because you may not be willing to live up to that expectation (you actually want to be friends), the other person may think differently.

With the same sex, theres struggle for status. Most people are nice people, we don't want to come off and rude. But at the same time we have a inherent need to not be the lowest man on the totem poll. In order to climb the social ladder without being forceful and fighting for position, we end up doing weird desperate things. We want others to willing see us as better/more deserving, rather than forcing that opinion on them.
Nobody's questioning whether these things are non-trivial or high-value. There are very legitimate questions to be asked, though, especially regarding patentability and profitability.

There are many other fields with very high barriers to entry and which require very large R&D budgets, but which - unlike the prescription drug market - nonetheless manage to attract competitiors: The semiconductor industry, for example, comes to mind.

Screw Go. Beating the Terran Emperor in a game of Starcraft is when the computers will finally take over the world.

It would be interesting though. How would a program that has PERFECT micro fare against a professional Starcraft player. Would a program reliably figure out how to kill 10 banelings with a few marines and a medivac by using the fact you can micro them to be able to do it without taking losses? Even if it could, would it know WHEN its even worth it to do so?
If you want freedom from government interference in your life, Somalia is still a pretty good bet.

And no, I am not being facetious. People like to think of freedom as a scalar, but it's actually a vector with complex interactions among its various dimensions, one of which is the government.

That said, I am absolutely signing the petition. Ed Snowden put a lot more on the line by blowing the whistle than I am by signing.

I agree that learning Smalltalk is the best way to learn OOP. But you should be careful with design patterns, design patterns are not a tool that you just use, they arise naturally in an OO model, and you should know them well to recognize them. Besides, several of the design patterns from the GoF are not necessary in a language with closures.

I strongly recommend three books:

> If socialism isn't authoritarian, that means that people can opt out of social benefits and not have to pay taxes to cover them, right? Without going to jail, right?

The same argument goes for the US. All developed countries have taxes and most people agree that they are necessary. I Besides, I don't feel Sweden is more authoritarian than the US because it has higher tax rates or more public services.

I grew up without a TV, and people looked at me funny.

I think the domestic abuse thing is bad, and I know Google has been burnt by that once before. But they fixed it once, and I'm not sure that it is something that is unfixable for any substantial reason.

Some people have always rejected technology, for both good and bad reasons. One can usually think of some very compelling case why a particular piece of technology is bad.

That still doesn't mean that the change is bad overall (indeed, the things the person is missing out on sound very useful). And nothing comes close to making it a "grave threat to humanity", or - like I said - a bigger change than something like implants, let alone CRISPR or AI.

The distinction is very subtle in their home page layout. It's formatted exactly like a story - it's listed under 'Top Stories'. Other than the content (which is typical Reg fare) the word 'Comment' is the only indicator that it's allowed a free pass on basic journalistic practice.

The Skyhook stuff is curious. He intentionally muddles up the facts in that case (which was mainly about anti-competitive behaviour and over-aggressive protection of their business model) with the Street View 'over collection' - which was fairly heinous but a matter that I still tend to suspect was more likely to be cock-up than conspiracy.

That section of the article doesn't really state it's conclusion which is fortunate as all it aims to do is create a sense of paranoia in the reader.

I'm not terribly surprised if an app that is granted location permissions can use my location. The person who tweeted that seemed to think that uninstalling Google Maps should somehow prevent location tracking.

I agree most people won't think to turn off this tracking, and there is a place in the market for a phone that has 'privacy as a default' but I personally (and many others) would still continue to use other devices because I am currently happy with the tradeoffs.

That doesn't mean I'm not cautious and fairly vigilant. But this frog hasn't yet felt the need to leap out of the pot.
