I happen to have been looking for renters insurance recently. I signed up immediately after reading the insurance policy terms. They are about as generous as the terms offered by Liberty Mutual, but LM wanted to charge me more than 3x as much, and I had a strange and frustrating conversation with a LM agent that left a bad taste in my mouth. Charity or no charity, it's a great deal.

However I made two mistakes. First, I selected personal property coverage that was probably too low. Second, I used a throwaway e-mail address to get my quote. I see no option in the app to modify either one. As I put in a support request for each item on the website, it occurred to me that I am probably screwed if anything goes wrong with my policy or claim. Yes, I am aware that there is an emergency hotline. But what happens if I'm no longer in an emergency? Insurance payouts can take a long time -- am I supposed to only ever interact with the company through a little "Help" popup on their website while I'm waiting for my check?

I'm also wondering: why is the actual interface to the application only available in a mobile app? What happens if my phone is damaged? Will I be forced to call the emergency hotline for even minor administrative tasks until I get a new phone? Is it that hard in 2016 to support web and mobile simultaneously?

Finally, I am sick to death of patronizing "I'm your friend" interactions with applications. The whole idea of "Maya" the robot assistant is goofy. It feels like a grown-up version of Smarterchild, and I get the same uncomfortable feeling "interacting" with Maya that I do when I'm trying to explain to a cheerful robot on the phone what I'm calling about.
Seems like it.

Hey thx for linking to this, that's some good papers.
Yes, but by using a counter you increase the size of the filter and you introduce the possibility of overflows. Let's say you use 3 bits to count (rather than 1) your filter is now x3 the size and if you end up adding more than 7 items with the same key, you'll get an overflow and your false positive rate will go up. Cuckoo filters allow for deletions while using less space than a bloom or counting filter.
See chapter 3 ("Nanotechnology will not lead to super-abundance") of Against Transhumanism for a good argument for why this isn't so simple: http://www.softmachines.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/201...

Summary

1. Lack of rigidity, excessive stickiness of molecules (Van der Waals force), constant random interactions (Brownian motion) at the microscale of cells means mechanistic intuitions from the macroscale don't apply.

2. High surface area (combined with VdW force) causes problems related to friction and energy dissipation.
may I ask what your education background is?
To the degree that open source projects have marketing, one of the things that has historically always come up in Guile marketing is that any language can be expressed in Guile, therefore if only every application adopted Guile as their extension language, those apps could have any extension language they wanted. Do you like C? Then write C and have some hypothetical Guile C front-end run it for you. Do you like Python? Then write Python and have some hypothetical Guile Python front-end run it for yet. Etc.

I'm not sure where that came from. Lisp advocates are (perhaps stereotypically more than in reality) known for citing that since any language can supposedly be easily expressed in Lisp, why isn't everyone running everything in Lisp and simply using hypothetical Lisp front ends to their language of choice? This line of reasoning featured heavily in Internet discussions about Guile in the '90s. "Guile should be the universal extension language because Guile can be any language" was a very common perception, at least among many vocal Guile advocates.

In the last decade or so, I have not heard much along these lines WRT Guile. But in the '90s the idea that "every language can be a Guile front-end" was very much front and center in many stupid, pointless flamewars about why everyone should drop what they're doing and use Guile for everything.

Just to be clear, I like Lisp very very much (and Scheme, and Guile), I'm just super allergic to hyperbole, tribalism, and wishful thinking.

Ironically, thanks to Web Assembly, etc., Javascript may turn into the universal backend language that Guile always claimed to be. This is ironic because I don't think even the staunchest Javascript advocates would argue that Javascript is a better language than Scheme in any sort of idealistic, ivory tower sort of totally objective sense.

Javascript isn't everywhere because everyone wants to use it, rather Javascript is everywhere because Javascript is everywhere, so that's what everyone uses. Javascript is the programming language equivalent of people who are famous for being famous. It has many admirable and interesting qualities, but it was very much a language born out of necessity than design, that lives on because it was in the right place at the right time. I say that not as a Javascript hater (I'm not) but rather as an aspiring language historian.
the challenge is that ~40% of healthcare spend is even plausibly directed by the patient. the majority is not elective, a result of an acute situation, etc. The concept of free market, unfortunately, doesn't work. It's easy to confuse this because most people on HN are (relatively) healthy. 15% of the population consumes 80% of total healthcare spend. These are the ones that we need to solve for

Sources: lots of research I could link to but don't have handy and, with great dismay/frustration, I've spent a decade analyzing the root causes of US healthcare spend.
Why was it discontinued? Here's my guess.

Any GPS receiver module (cheap) + any embedded board (cheap) = same thing. If you use a high powered commodity embedded board (eg. Raspberry Pi 3) then you can get other stuff done with it, too. Therefore, why have a standalone product? Low power consumption is about the only reason I can think of, but people running networks of servers that require a highly accurate local timing source are not generally people who care about minute variations in power consumption.
Yeah, that seems like a fair take. They'd get away with a little inflation --so $75 - $100 but definitely not $300. That's just opportunistic gouging.

What benefits does this have over Electron?

Flickr was the first "web 2.0" site. It was the first social network. It was the first really global photo publishing website. So I agree with heyts above. Flickr repeatedly becomes a shadow of its former self, and that is really very sad.

There are plenty of other parser generators than ANTLR and interesting parsing techniques that fit the bill. Not that there's anything wrong with ANTLR.

The last few time when I've been working on programming language prototypes, I've written the parser using Parsec parser combinators in Haskell. It's super fast and easy to use, however it's more like syntactic sugar for recursive descent parsers than a rigorous parser generator that works for a certain grammar class.

Depends what sort of packages you want.

I used to use it for things like local installs of server-side stuff (e.g. language runtime, database server, cache server, etc) but I've moved to using vagrant (and in turn Debian, so Apt) for those things.

For dev tools such as Mercurial, Git, Autotools, etc there are first/third party .pkg installers available.

I didn't want to navigate that PDF, so I read the author's IEEE article, which I think has similar content.

What a boring criticism! All of the things he mentions are easily approachable engineering challenges. His conclusion seems to be "mechanical engineering as with gears and pulleys won't work with nanobots". Duh! No one claimed otherwise.

> mechanistic intuitions about the microscale don't apply.

Obviously. Why would you or the author think nanotechnology optimists don't know this? Half the reason we don't have nanobots is because we don't yet have the engineering expertise and practical tools for these scales. The other half is that we're still working out efficient 3D nanofabrication. They are related problems. These are not physically insurmountable issues (as demonstrated thoroughly by organic life). There are a hundred different fields of study that are slowly eating away at the edges of the general purpose nanofabrication problem.
> The title could be rephrased as "Cheap guys risk the lives of thousands of people by promising savings of a few bucks". The problem is not with the "greedy corporations", but with the poorly dedigned legislation regarding intellectual property rights.

Ah, so let's all just stay in line until we fix patent law. That'll work out!

The problem here is some cheap guys risking the lives of thousands of people to make a few bucks. You say it was inevitable that a company would take advantage of this cash cow; I say it was inevitable someone was going to route around this cash cow.

I also feel like no one in this comment section has taken a first aid course before. Anyone who has spent time around some epipens would start questioning the price. The thing itself does not have to be a super precise device.

Meanwhile administering epinephrine is not a big deal. Really, any idiot can administer epinephrine, and probably do about as well as people do with epipens. I would personally recommend most people who need it keep a vial and some syringes around if they need to administer it to their kid, and an epipen only for the convenience of the form factor and only if they really need it. Most of the time you can get away with benadryl.

So, hack away, cheap guys. You'll likely help a few, help a few others discover they can get away with a super cheap vial, and demonstrate to quite a few more that the prices currently listed are ludicrous.

I shouldn't have put "it's all in your head" in quotation marks, because I wasn't there in person and I too doubt that a doctor uttered those literal words. There was however an attitude of skepticism/annoyance conveyed through a combination of words and actions.

One example: sibling had become dangerously underweight due to difficulty eating/swallowing. There was eventually a barium swallow test. One of the nurses excitedly told sibling after the test revealed clear abnormalities something like "wow, I am sorry, there is something clearly wrong here." The previous attitude having revealed (even if not in so many words) that she believed sibling to be a faker wasting time.

I don't know if CFS was even the right label for the cluster of symptoms. Even in infancy there were many more problems with getting sick than the other kids in the household experienced. Infections and a cluster of other symptoms that ended up labeled CFS grew really severe in adolescence through mid 20s, then seemed to (mostly) go away as mysteriously as it had come. It was nearly a decade of misery that never had any clear diagnosis.

I've also seen a friend with lingering complications from third degree burns suffered 10+ years ago be treated pretty shabbily as she tries to keep her pain under control. Modern medicine in the US seems pretty darn good at treating acute problems with obvious causes and fixes. It seems to be pretty crappy at treating chronic issues, especially ones that don't have good diagnostic markers. If I ever end up in the hospital again I hope it's for a nice obvious problem like a broken leg.
Great talk. Chematica looks really cool, as a way to discover new ways to synthesize chemicals, just by searching a graph of possible reactions in order to reach the target chemical.

Well, I would imagine people do understand and accept that the point of financing is profit, but that doesn't free investors or financiera from legal and moral judgement, even when the goals of both act destructively towards one another. You don't get to eschew law/judgement because it's inconvenient to your goals.

I don't know enough about finance to comment on the article itself but the idea of "that's it's purpose so you can't judge it that way" rings hollow for me. Scrutiny applies regardless of purpose. The article itself even suggests there are ways the story could play out where Cooperman is guilty, it's just not clear at the moment.

A standalone product can have its advantages if it's designed with care to the specific task of timekeeping (which most other PCs or embedded boards aren't).

This product (from looking at the schematics) has a true voltage controlled oscillator which allows you to get your local clock to agree consistently within few nanoseconds with the GPS timebase. (UPDATE: It has in Rev. 1.2, not in the latest :-( ).

With a realtime OS (for reception of packets), or, much preferable, an Ethernet PHY that allows for hardware timestamping of incoming packets (something like http://www.ti.com/product/DP83640), you then could transfer this nanosecond precision to other machines on your network. Compared with the ~few microseconds you typically get with traditional NTP on a commodity PC or embedded board.

The product linked to on Tindie, as far as I can see, does not have the latter, though.

This whole machination thing will collapse as soon as the solar panel prices, along with the inverter and battery costs drop low enough to be part of every house.

Once everyone generates and stores their own electricity, the residential market will go away. This might be another 20 to 30 years off, but it is inevitable. And once factories start building Stirling engines and solar facilities into their designs, the industrial power market will collapse as well. It's a good thing.
