Well I have observed it. I've worked on many projects that used one of the big frameworks (including Ember.js projects) that would've been better off with vanilla JS and a collection of small JS libraries instead. I'm not going to name names, but they're out there. It's a tool that does get misused, like any other.

As you can probably see from this thread, most of us would have the same reaction: impotent frustration. I can go to another dealer if I don't get straight answers. I can walk away at any point up until the final signature. This is simply not an analogous situation, as evidenced by the repeated testimony of everyone here.

Bitcoin is its own asset, just as gold, or any other commodity, are assets.
Sidechains are not a workaround, even ignoring that they're centralized and marketed as such.

Sidechains only solve the problem of user scalability, not volume scalability, because they still require the Bitcoin network to verify.

For example, on a side chain it would take seconds to make 10,000,000 transactions between 2 people, but making 2 transactions between 10,000,000 people would take over a month.
It was my understanding that 18
U.S. Code § 871 included depictions

Not according to Brandenburg v. Ohio, which states:

State to forbid or proscribe advocacy
of the use of force or of law
violation except where such advocacy
is directed to inciting or producing
imminent lawless action and is likely
to incite or produce such action.

The key words there are "incite" and "imminent lawless action". But don't just take my word for it. You can read the decision for yourself here:

You can ask them what the uninsured bill would be.
While still not religious personally, I think I can see now why it makes sense to side with certain things that fundamentally can't have rational justifications. Concepts can be broken down into a finite set of parts (e.g. relations and types) which form an infinite set--but still don't cover everything (I'm assuming you're already aware of the different classes of infinite sets, some of which are larger than others). Given that, human conceptualizing must be admitted to be limited in the same way that, e.g., human smell is. In that case, it only makes sense to retain an openness, or at least uncertainty, regarding subjects which may fall outside the ken of the human conceptualizing faculty.

Interesting. Likewise, I got a registration pop-up when transitioning from page 2 to page 3 (of the 9 page article), and could not find a workaround.

Looking at the history of seekingalpha.com submissions, all prior to about 120 days ago are marked '[dead]' with no comments, which makes me think it was considered spam up until then. Of the 12 submitted in the last 120 days, only a handful have comments, though only one that I see makes mention of the registration wall.

It doesn't seem to be a paywall per se, but it does seem to be in similar, and sites that have no paywall workaround shouldn't be submitted, as I understand the FAQ.

> Even uninsured can end up negotiating the bill, albeit after the fact.

Yes. One could say something like "I know that you're billing me three times what you get from insurance companies, and I know that you'd pay at least 50% to a collection agency, so will you accept 40% now?"

> Sometimes, insurance might negotiate lower prices than what a certain procedure/treatment costs, i believe that's not uncommon. They make up for it from other procedures in general.

True. Also from payers with less negotiating strength.

Nice summary.

If stability/security is important in your codebase. It's of course worth avoiding undefined behavior, and compiling with warnings as errors (-Werror in gcc).

However it's also really worth running your test suite through Valgrind [1] too sometimes. This instruments your code to check for use for use of initialized variables/other non-deterministic behavior at runtime.

I used to run this under continuous integration, and flag builds with issues.

Eh, I use an 12" Android tablet; whil e most apps might not be specialized for the size, I've never run into any that I want to use that don't work well on it.

I think the keypoint generator is well made, but the presentation has some serious problems.

It would also be nice if when you went to fastnews.me/subject it would search for the subject. You could also add a recently searched items to the right of the search for the last 3 or 5 items.

Using the website would flow better if you were to have the bullet points display on hovering over the descriptive text.

The summary algorithm seems to work pretty well, so you might want to add the functionality to use it on individual subreddits, in which you could utilize the fastnews.me/r/ to access. Although this would generate some problems since most of these would probably have to be generated by a user request I think it would be really useful.
Your experience is literally unbelievable to me. I don't doubt you, I just cannot believe there isn't more to the story.

In another comment you seemed to indicate that you are perhaps uninsured and paying cash for everything? That would go a long way toward explaining why you have experiences that run dramatically counter to almost everyone else on this thread. It also seems like important information to be included, if so.

On Vista, conhost.also ran in user context and console windows were themed, on XP they was not. I believe that conhost.exe was introduced in Vista together with new desktop separation mechanism and on earlier version all the console window logic was internal to csrss (which in original NT design was essentially display server and window manager and placing console emulation in there makes some kind of sense given the NT's model of that).
On the contrary, the decentralisation is what I appreciate so much about Google - I feel it's the primary driver for innovative stuff that comes out of Google. It may seem like a mess but then you see - creativity doesn't flows out of grand visions.

it's because they don't know. What insurance provider considers preventive care is different from what doctors think it is.

The story just doesn't add up.

"2X successful founder"... looking on Crunchbase, he founded Digiforce "acquired" by Strategic Link partners. digiforce.com directs to some random japanese site and the Strategic Link site looks like something made from a (bad) wordpress template. I almost wonder if he made up a company to acquire his company.

Next, no way Facebook hires someone like that to lead "THE" growth team for pages. Maybe as an entry level PM or something. He was only at facebook for 1.5 years, which also makes me skeptical he was such a high priority hire for Snapchat.

Sounds like a bunch of hot air and resume puffing to me. My guess is that Snapchat realized he had an overly active imagination and had taken liberties with his resume.
I think I was going from "earliest signs of civilization" (i.e. French or Australian cave art, and similarities).

I admit to being surprised by the number for Homo sapiens. I'd have to think it was closer to the 0.2 than the 1.8.

But even then, that'd make it worse.

Even at 13,000 BCE, we're still not doing so well. It can be argued that primitive man didn't have the ability to extract many resources, so it's not comparable, but I don't think that's the case. We shouldn't get a free pass because we have no history of "mass pillage of earthly resources" with which to compare.

Right? I was wondering if it would be possible to build something to guess what these redacted lines(at least for the not-8-page-part) say. Since they redact mid-sentence, could you calculate the font size, estimate how many characters there are, and fill in some common words using an NLP based implementation? Or would the sheer volume/complexity be too much?

Windows also separates that, although the separation is slightly different. For example, much of the line editing and tab completion in cmd is actually implemented by the console window itself.
Actually, historical evidence suggests the opposite of your argument: multiple implementations of a language typically mean it is succeeding, not failing.
> Healthcare providers must likewise be required to publish their rates in a uniform format such as industry standard CPT codes or a percentage of Medicare rates.

This proposal does not address the primary reason that price transparency is really goddamn hard: Even if you know exactly what a provider will charge for each CPT code, you don't know which CPT codes are going to be billed for a particular patient care event.

Inconsistent cost per line item is not the key problem with transparency. Tools like Castlight actually do a pretty decent job of guessing how much each item on a provider's CPT "menu" is going to cost a patient. In many (most?) situations, it is simply not possible to predict which CPT codes are going to be billed for a particular patient's care. This is the key reason price transparency tools tend to give a range rather than a specific price for a particular procedure.

(Also: Big picture, the idea that this would decrease costs by 33% is absurd. If healthcare providers had to publish real legit price sheets that were used by real consumers, prices would converge within a market, but they would not converge that low. Published pricing is not going to cause these businesses to collectively roll over and give up 33% of their revenue.)

It's worse than that, because there's adverse selection. The hospitals that make errors in the client's favor or that don't make errors at all are more likely to go out of business than the ones that make errors in their own favor. So guess which ones are still around when you need a hospital.

In other words, just because the errors are accidental, it doesn't mean they happen at random.

(This argument applies to any shady business practice that "looks" like an accident, for example dark patterns on websites, or having great customer service for taking your money but terrible customer service for refunding it.)

It doesn’t have to be all or nothing.

For instance, the network might only be used to decide among a series of actions, and those actions can still have limits (such as “car cannot travel faster than X” or “Y cannot change more than 3 times per minute”, or whatever). There is still an abundance of attention put into safety, as usual for the auto industry. It isn’t just a brain hooked up to an engine that is allowed to run rampant.

Tesla is using a modified Nvidia self-driving platform too for Autopilot v2, available in early 2017.

Nvidia demonstrated their platform with many sensors like 10 cameras, ultra-sonic sensors and at least one LIDAR.

Where as Tesla is using a sensor mix with radar, ultra-sonic sensors and like 7 cameras - the LIDAR is probably still too expensive even for a 70+k car (the big one you know from Google cars cost $70k, the smallest one cost at least 7k).

It will be interesting to learn about Audi's sensor mix, and what LIDAR product they choose.
Why is God not a subject for empirical debate? If the miracles described in Bible happened regularly I would consider that as strong empirical evidence for God. Given that no such miracles are forthcoming it reduces the likelihood that God exists.
"Yes. One could say something like "I know that you're billing me three times what you get from insurance companies, and I know that you'd pay at least 50% to a collection agency, so will you accept 40% now?""

Unfortunately, this misses another pertinent point, that the provider/facility will be able to charge off and deduct as a loss either that 50% of the original amount they're going to charge you, as well as getting 50% from collections, or 100% if they're... 'creative'. This can often reduce incentive to negotiate.

If it's a "more capable smartphone", it stands to reason that it should have more memory than a smartphone?

In any case, if it has an SD or MicroSD slot, that would alleviate the storage concern for most people. The USB port could also be useful for more storage, but most people won't want to use up one of the limited USB ports for a memory stick.
