It's for primary care physicians outside of the US. So, we are dealing with the following:

- An industry that has a slight disdain for maximizing profit (healthcare here is a public good)
- The physician in question is already running at 100%, so the extra workload to make an extra $5k/yr isn't worth it for him.
- Other docs in the clinic are all over our solution and are seeing the increase in their billings

So, this doc, and another in the clinic looked at the fee and said they'd rather not realize the extra revenue because they thought someone else should be paying the software fee (the someone else being the government that runs healthcare).

The Bible tells that after the Fall, when Adam and Eve ate the apple in the garden of Eden, man is now destined to forever work for survival (such as tilling the earth for food) as part of our punishment.

This has large implications for social policy, universal basic income, etc. It isn't usually directly stated, but I have heard it a few times.

To be fair, I'm not cetain how influential this idea is in overall Christian thought.

Medieval Arabic scribes would turn the paper on its side and write from top to bottom to avoid exactly this problem. It's why Arabic numerals are sideways compared to European "Arabic" numerals.
... so one thing I've never understood is why the networks/ISPs aren't then held accountable for what's on their networks?

As in, they can regulate all they want, but then they're legally liable for everything on their networks. So if a kiddie porn packet goes over it, they're complicit by virtue of not regulating it.

Obviously, I'd prefer net neutrality but I've never understood why that threat doesn't have teeth.

I also have never understood why, if a utility has right of way on my property, I don't have say over things like net neutrality. It seems like if they don't want net neutrality, I should arbitrarily be able to price the cost of them using my property, as well as damages from any removal. It's not like they don't make use of public lands.

I agree with your gripes here -- absolutely agree there are a lot of languages that get it wrong.

I think there are some books that really get it right though, that show you how to do stuff, but also try to get out of your way. Some examples (in order of adherence to this point, to the best of my ability):

- Practical Common Lisp

- Learn You a Haskell For Great Good

Water is worth it in very specific locations, because we can build a dam and let the natural shape of the Earth do the heavy lifting.

But a dry system, relying on weights? There isn't a material that is dense enough to make it worthwhile. Even a boxcar full of granite would need to be orders of magnitude heavier than it is for gravity storage to be economically useful.

In New Zealand, our broadband market is structurally separated.

The the access provider for both the copper and fibre network (right to the customer premises) is a regulated wholesale only provider, which is required to provide open access to its network on a non-discriminatory basis between all access seekers (retail telecommunications companies).[0]

This almost entirely resolves the net neutrality debate in New Zealand.

[0] This is a slight simplification: Chorus is the network owner for the copper network, and about 70% of the fibre network. The other 30% of fibre network is also built, owned and operated by wholesale only providers on a comparable basis.
No. That's not quite what I'm saying. There was no particularly interesting effect of inducing transient expression of the Yamanaka factors on normal mice reported in this paper. It is effectively a negative result that's being reported, as it pertains to wild-type mice.

The paper primarily reports results that pertain to mice with a genetic defect that causes progeria. Mice with this defect have a shorter-than-normal lifespan.

Ah, good point! I'm not sure that it would still win versus point-sized Earth - according to this [1], shrinking Earth to half its size would increase gravity 4x. And a point is obviously much smaller than half.

But still, to see how incredibly weak gravity is consider that you don't even have to consider the gravitational pull of the magnet. Even if you walk next to a mountain you don't have to think twice about falling toward it. Gravity is negligible at even monstrously huge scales! It's just not a very large force at all, compared with magnetism, electricity, or e.g. solar radiation. It's truly weak. I've never had to think about the gravitational pull of any object other than literally the Earth or maybe occasionally the moon (which has a mass of 7.35x10^22 kg, or 1.2 percent of Earth's mass -- i.e. the Earth and the 5 septillion kilos I quoted is only 81 times as large.) The everyday pull of objects (for example the pull by which the building next to you right now is attracting you) is so negligible. It's weak!

By the time AGI is developed, it would be able to improve itself/build improvements, causing the runway effect that leads to superintelligence. The idea of making "personal digital assistants" is humans thinking they can tame a god to be a servant. Taming a superintelligence would be like a dog taming human civilization, and perhaps the gap between man and ASI is larger than the gap between dog and man.

Absolutely agree! In a previous life, I was working at a company where perl was just about the most recent scripting language they were using (for better or for worse), and that book was an absolute godsend. Reading through Chapter 8 around was all I needed to be productive, and I've recommended the book ever since (especially while I was at that job)
Great! Now use a build system that downloads the compiler too. For example, Bazel will download a copy of the Go compiler if you are using it to build Go programs.
> Where is the need for this product?

An intuitive easy to use WYSIWYG editor is a highly sought afterand demanded product category. Squarespace costs money and is actually (for me) a pretty bad user exp.

Google probably can deliver on this because they are SEO. Even good editors were not semantic. I havent tried this product, but if it is halfway decent it will find market share. If it is perfect it could replace wordpress.

I am pretty competent as a developer and I would use (based on my understanding from the link) this product rather than battle css or compile sass. Plus I can edit the code.

On top of top teir engineering, google has control of SEO & pagerank so maybe they can win where orhers hadnt. No brainer for them.

The most useful analogy I've seen is the "ala carte internet" one.

"Get Facebook, Twitter, and Google for just $9.99/mo!"

"Add on the video package and get Netflix and Hulu for only $24.99/mo more!"

"News junkie? Get BBC, NY Times, CNN for $7.99/mo."

The reality is of course much more nuanced than that (what's more likely is we'll see these sites being offered bandwidth cap exemptions and faster loading; not outright blocks if you don't pay up), but it conveys the message in a easy-to-digest fashion for the lay person. They're used to this already with their cable packages.

My definition is the same as the CS literature expressed in SIGPLAN, OOPSLA and ECOOP papers, written by people doing OOP language research since the mid-70s. No need to invent my own.

As for the other poster, sorry if it appears like that. I did not offended anyone and provided information where to read more about trait systems.

HN comments are not big enough to provide an history of OOP systems, their similarities and differences.
Please keep partisan politics off HN.
The big deal was the vertical split between local (baby bells) an long distance (at&t). It then became possible to easily switch your long distance carrier, which lead to intense competition and lower prices. Local exchange service remained a monopoly, but most jurisdictions had fairly strict tariffs for rates. Later, the telecom act of 1996 opened up to competitive exchange carriers using the existing lines and buildings; would have been nice if the FCC had enforced that for internet too :(

A strong security posture is not a perfect security posture. It seems likely that someone will invest in security, get hacked anyway in a really sophisticated way, and feel that they wasted all that money.
Not quite. The actual article title is far more correct than either the clickbait headline or your headline:

A carbon tax would solve the problem. Actually CCS is only about 15% more expensive, so it wouldn't even be that painful.

What is this even. I think Lua is better too, but this article is really bad. Also it's Lua, not LUA. I couldn't even read it in full after spotting things like "Javascript only runs on the JVM" and "Games are harder than web and programmers choose the best tool for the job, so LUA is a better tool and Javascript wouldn't be able to handle it"

EDIT: oh, I missed the first paragraph "I want to note that the language is technically called "Lua" and the authors explicitly request people to refrain from calling it LUA, but I always shout whenever I say it in real life", good troll :|
No it isn't. Congress is only in session part of the time. Lawmaking - as opposed to politicking - currently requires a quorum and that legislators actually go on the record with both arguments and votes. It's where the rubber of governance meets the road and politicians can't pander to all and sundry while shrugging off criticism by saying 'they misspoke' and so on, but must instead commit to some sort of position (even if they obfuscate that by engaging in bullshit legislative tricks like poison-pill amendments). When Congress is in session it's doing (in theory at least) the Nation's business. When it's in recess the politicians can rest, schmooze their constituents, and so on - conducting their own political business rather than the nation's.

Now all this sounds very fine and idealist, but for lawmaking to be valid and have credibility then there needs to be some sort of formality to the process so that the citizenry can find out what their elected representatives are actually doing on their behalf, eg by consulting the Congressional record. Of course much of what happens in the legislative chamber is theatrical most deals are negotiated and brokered behind closed doors, but the lack of accountability that inheres in such arrangements is why there is a requirement for formalities in the first place.

So because there are formal rules on how laws are made, whether Congress is in session or not does matter. When it's only being kept in session by a technicality without any actual legislative work being performed, that says to everyone looking that the party engaging in such behavior regards rules as an obstruction to be got around rather than a standard for governing their own behavior, and that attitude is likely to promulgate itself among the population in various ways.

If you think recess appointments are a silly anachronism, amend the constitution. Unfortunately, I feel there's a particular faction in the country that actively aims at the undoing of the union in favor of a weak federation of states or several regional confederacies. That would not be so bad if the USA were its own planet, but as it's an imperial-scale power sharing the world with several rivals and many smaller national and corporate actors, a deconstruction of the federal system will create all sorts of power vacuums, and you know how that turns out.

Yes Haskell type classes are interfaces from OOP point of view.

They could go non-profit like the Mozilla foundation.
Both, ish.

We definitely want to replace bits of Gecko with Servo code (in general, Rust code). That is already happening.

Servo development is still continuing. Servo and browser.html are evolving in the direction of eventually becoming a product. We don't know right now if they will. In the meantime, Gecko can reap the benefits.

Complexity? Web apps are often complex yes but web pages? Even the Webflow homepage/marketing pages look identical to every web site posted here. So the lack of market yes; people take a template/code and change the content. Not sure if web apps were ever a good fit for tools like this as that is more like a full IDE as it would need coding as well to make sense. At least allow to specify data structures as in and out for the components you are designing.
It says you have to update the rust compiler on your own: "You can stay current by running `rustup update`."
Yes, but OOP means Object Oriented Programming.

Rust traits are easily modeled in UML, just to add another point to it.

But privately, she embraced the Clinton campaign’s aggressive strategy of counterattack: Women who claimed to have had sexual encounters with Mr. Clinton would become targets of digging and discrediting — tactics that women’s rights advocates frequently denounce.

The campaign hired a private investigator with a bare-knuckles reputation who embarked on a mission, as he put it in a memo, to impugn Ms. Flowers’s “character and veracity until she is destroyed beyond all recognition.”

In a pattern that would later be repeated with other women, the investigator’s staff scoured Arkansas and beyond, collecting disparaging accounts from ex-boyfriends, employers and others who claimed to know Ms. Flowers, accounts that the campaign then disseminated to the news media.

By the time Mr. Clinton finally admitted to “sexual relations” with Ms. Flowers, years later, Clinton aides had used stories collected by the private investigator to brand her as a “bimbo” and a “pathological liar.”

Mrs. Clinton’s level of involvement in that effort, as described in interviews, internal campaign records and archives, is still the subject of debate. By some accounts, she gave the green light and was a motivating force; by others, her support was no more than tacit assent.

----

The Clintonian strategy of attacking, slandering, and blackmailing his accusers is a matter of historical record. And there are many people in the know who said she was a driving force behind it, while others claim she merely acquiesced to it. You can read Hitchens recount the sordid affair here:

http://www.vanityfair.com/news/1999/05/christopher-hitchens-...

Or read No One Left to Lie to for a more in-depth look.

Now you don't have to believe she was the one driving the bus in the smear campaigns against her husband's accusers, even though plenty of people who were there at the time have said she was. But it does show that Politifact is being especially uncharitable to that claim, when they simply could have said it was disputed.
I believe running mach bootstrap again will just work (if not we can make that happen).

I don't think it's a big deal that the possibly-sudo-requiring step is kept separate and not automatically invoked on build.
It look like "mach" is a tool that helps with Makefiles. I am not sure you understood what I wrote.

Or, maybe all of the environment variables I used when I worked on Firefox just happen to be the same, but the build system is totally different.
My MPWTest[1] Objective-C unit testing framework has unit tests as categories of the class under test. For me it

- avoids the duplicate class hierarchies you get with xUnit,

- avoids having to expose class internals for testing,

- makes tests an integral part of code, instead of an external add-on.
