This allows WhatsApp to MITM. Whatapps can rekey both Alice and Bob, decrypt both their messages from that point onwards (incl unsent messages) and forward them re-encrypted with their real keys. The only notification might be that rekeying warning, if the users have turned it on. In this scenario even the double-checkmarks are present.
This is contrary to WhatsApp's claim that even they cannot snoop.

PS: I just check on my phone if those notifications were turned on. There were not. And I'd never turn those off myself, which leads me to conclude that the rekeying notifications are off by default (in their android app)

Recroom's Paintball is is one of the most popular and constantly active multipler VR games and that is all about movement.

http://vrlfg.net/ also shows Onward as being very popular - also very movement based.

(one thing worth noting in that page is how low current play counts are relative to other games. Currently there's not enough people in VR to support more than a handful of multiplayer games)
But repealing the ACA, which is by all appearances what you want (correct me if I'm wrong), would leave these people without health insurance. You make fair complaints about the high costs for care in this country, but you're acting like they're the fault of the ACA. The ACA bent the cost curve downward, if anything.

Going back to 2008 would make things worse, not better. And sure, improve the ACA, but build on it or in parallel to it, don't tear it down and cost lives in the process.
In the real world, you look with your eyes much more than you look with your head.

As you're playing games or working, the only time you ever turn your head is when something external distracts you, and you can resolve it in a split second. If you're using VR and something external distracts you, you have to abandon whatever your doing and dismount the device.
I agree. I own a occipital bridge. The resolution needs to get 5x better than retina to be believable.

Also 6dof tracking with hand gesture tracking under 10ms is still a challenge. I think it's possible but needs serious hardware advancements.

I love my bridge though. No hanging cables is definitely a good thing
This is design issue and has little to do with knowing how to use the app. It is poor design for a pending message to be delivered to a device whose key was changed after the message was sent.
Obama never had full Democratic control of the Senate.

Lieberman caucused with the Senate Democrats. He had lost his Democratic primary and ran+won as an independent. In fact, he'd endorsed McCain in 2008 (after Obama campaigned for him in 2006).

Lieberman had and used a line item veto over everything that was passed by the Democrats because the Republicans uniformly opposed anything that was proposed. It took a supermajority to pass the ACA and it only barely passed because of Republican opposition.

Hey ben, those were fun days! For others, Metrowerks hit the wall that many Mac developers hit and continue to hit. The Mac market size simply isn't big enough for a 3rd party developer, so they tried other platforms. As Metrowerks tried many embedded markets, the Mac product suffered. Also, since only Metrowerks had a PowerPC compiler, Apple was very dependent on Metrowerks while Metrowerks was heading towards Chapter 11. The tension between the execs (give me more money/support or else) created a 'complicated' relationship.

Motorola rescued Metrowerks from the brink of Chapter 11 with the Apple/Metrowerks relationship already tense. Motorola also gave many long-time employees an excuse to leave (pre dotcom crash). PalmOS took so many people that lawyers were involved at the HR level between Motorola/PalmOS
Ooooooh. Now I understand how you mean it. Great.

Python: a programming language created by a community (2016)
I have a deductible of $3,000. If I spent it all on doctor's visits (that is the vast majority of my medical expenses), I'd have to visit the doctor 120+ times to make it cheaper to have a $3,000 deductible than a $25 copay for doctor's visits. My out of pocket is quite a bit higher than that $3,000 deductible.

You're correct that I don't know the difference in out of pocket maximums, but I do know it's a great deal higher than it used to be.

As for "what type of plan I should be on", I really don't have a choice. My employer offers what amounts to basically the same plan through two different insurers, and the main difference seems to be which doctors are on which insurer's network, so in practice, it doesn't matter which one I pick-- the out of pockets maximums are broadly similar, and the deductibles are identical.

According to Wikipedia, "the Eastern Baltic languages split from the Western Baltic ones between AD 400 and AD 600", "The differentiation between Lithuanian and Latvian started after AD 800", "The earliest surviving written Lithuanian text is a translation dating from about 1503–1525", etc.

Heh, wonder if they would take the following compromise: no public healthcare option, but medical patents are hereby abolished. You know, getting the government out of healthcare... Not that I really advocate for this policy, but I mean, libertarians are not ok with being "coerced"[1] to provide medical treatment, but are ok with being "coerced" to not manufacture life saving treatments because someone else owns the IP to them, usually standing on the shoulders of decades of tax funded university research.

[1] scare quotes because I believe there is a difference between taking a particular individual and actually forcing them at gunpoint to be a public doctor, and simply taxing people into paying for a public health system that is attractive enough that enough people chose to work for it of their own free will (e.g. the NHS)

It's not a bad argument, because the relatively minor discoveries in medicine in the 19th century in a hands off market already demonstrated what happens. The right wingers also provided more material by loosening controls over supplement marketing in the 90s.

Desperate people seek out cures. In the old days they gave money to the church for miracles. In the 19th century they bought patent medicines, which at best were cocktails of opiates and alcohol and at worst were cheap whisky. Google the "Duffy Malt Whisky" company. In the 21st century, we have homeopathic quackery and supplements.

The sober advice of accrediting boards is always defeated by the silver tounge of advertising and marketing. Only government has the power to address this.
Substance? Health care costs continue growing significantly faster than inflation since the passage of the Affordable Care Act.

It's clear to me, I need to leave and go to a country with a higher average IQ. They, unsurprisingly, have figured out how to deliver actual affordable care. The people here are too ignorant to actually solve this problem. Even "smart" people have been completely brainwashed by propaganda.

Affordable care is more expensive. War is Peace. Ignorance is Strength.

Around here (Western Europe) I've never heard or seen anyone say they believed spicy food was healthy. I mostly got told too much of it is bad for your liver, though I don't know how well proven that is either.
You can add the following against it in my case:

- not able to keep my existing health plan. I had a great low-ish deductible plan with good benefits cancelled due to ACA.

- not able to continue seeing my family doctor (that my folks and sister still see). I'm pretty sure the current doctor I have hates all his patients and staff.

And yes, it costs a lot more in terms of premiums, deductibles and prescription meds. But also in travel time because the other physicians in my town that accept CoveredCA stopped accepting new patients.

I would pick a set of technologies that you want to learn. This will require a bit of research, of course. It's a bit of a personal decision, based on your predilections and your past experience.

There is a ton of activity in the space, of course. I would first glance at the ECMAScript efforts of late (ES6 and ES7 in particular). You'll probably need to use Node.js, since it tends to be the center point of JS development, regardless of the tools and frameworks you choose.

The first piece is your build tool. Grunt and Gulp are the two top build tools. Gulp is more recent and seems to have more uptake. If you haven't written a build script (e.g., gulpfile.js) I recommend building one up from scratch rather than using someone else's. You could use others' for examples of what to do, but build your own from scratch according to your needs, as you go. You'll learn more and understand the whole thing that way.

The next choice is whether to use a transpiler or not. The two biggies are Babel (ES6 transpilation to ES5 or ES3) and TypeScript. You can skip this step at first, but it will be a foundational aspect to your build, so don't wait too long. If you do skip it, loop back once you've made your other choices.

The final big choice is framework. The big ones right now are React and Angular 2. There are many others, of course (Vue, Inferno, ...). You might try a few efforts here to learn about them if you don't have a clear initial default choice.

There are secondary choices depending on which main framework you choose. For example, if you use React, you will likely need a client-side store. Flux used to be the default. Now it's likely to be Redux or, more recently, MobX.

There hasn't been a better time to be a JS dev. There's still a lot of churn, but there's also more stability than there has been in the past few years. You can stick with technology choices for a year or two without major disruption if you make course corrections. Good luck!
You know you make new blood, and people donate blood regularly? Apart from small slices of liver, your organs don't really regrow. You could donate/sell one of your kidneys, but we now know there are negative long-term effects of that.
That's the root of the problem. The moment we say that healthcare is a universal right, it's meaningless to talk about insurance. It's not really insurance if everyone can get it for an affordable price, regardless of their risk level. Calling it insurance just muddies the picture at that point. It's tax-subsidized healthcare, and that's how it should be described, planned, and discussed.

Whoever makes the claim, has to present the evidence. If I claim your brain doesn't work, it's not your job to prove me wrong.

Science (natual ones) can't prove anything, only disprove the hypothesis.

Science's default position is "we don't know" or "there's no evidence", not "it doesn't work".

On the employee side, you can certainly say that being good at negotiating is a critical skill. But from the standpoint of an employer looking to distribute raises is the most efficient manner, you don't want to promote someone simply for being a better negotiator or being better at marketing their work, unless negotiating/marketing is a part of their job. Assuming your goal is to pay people in proportion to their contributions, you want your salary-negotiation process to reflect actual contributions as much as possible, rather than reflecting people's ability to play up their contributions.

You could compare it to the incentives for an ideal standardized test. For a test taker, the incentive is to study for the test as much as possible to get the highest score. But for test maker interested in measuring actual intelligence, ideally you want to design a test whose scores are relatively insensitive to time spent studying/memorizing, at least after a certain point.

Obviously, you're never going to reach the ideal, but getting closer to it is still helpful.

Also, "aggressive negotiation" (the phrase used in the article) is not necessarily the same as effective negotiation, so saying that you don't want to reward aggressive negotiation is not necessarily saying that the goal is to remove all negotiation from the equation.
All the teams I've been a part of use Bootstrap, including a lot of experienced front-end devs. Using SASS customization with Bootstrap really lets you hammer out a unique toolkit of common UI elements. However, my context is in web apps, not web sites. I could see strong reasoning for not bothering with Bootstrap for sites.
Jokes aside, it seems to me that anything to which a healthy adult needs to develop a tolerance is not one that is intrinsically healthful.

We pay those taxes too. Our per-capita government expenditure on health care is higher than many developed countries with single-payer systems. Our government then spends this vast amount of money to provide care for a fraction of us.
I'm skeptical of #2 - because regardless of the optics, while the focus may be "at infinity" - your eyes are still actually focused on a screen mere inches from your face. This was a problem back in the 1990s - and it will always be a problem - because optics. It can't be good for the eyes (mainly eyestrain if anything).
> I think the costs will go down when the whole nation is the risk pool.

I think this is a justifiably correct presumption if you assume that costs are normally distributed. Are healthcare costs and risks normally distributed?

We had this problem where the cost of financial risk was assumed to be normally distributed and we built a lot of policy on that, including pooling financial entities into bigger and bigger codependent pools, but everyone seemed to have forgotten the known-for-centuries-fact that financial risk has infinite variance. Of course it turned out okay after we bailed out a bunch of rich people.
I have a hard time seeing anything you're pitching as much beyond what you could get with a Wii, and that's completely dead and abandoned. How many people bought Wii fitness? Is that enough of a demographic to expect there to be an entire new ecosystem supporting it?

In my Windows Phone I really LOVED HERE Maps, but I'm quite disappointed about Maps on Windows 10 (I own a Lumia 830 and I updated from Windows Phone 8.1 to Windows 10 Mobile).

I know that Maps use data from HERE, but the search algorithm it's not as good as on HERE, and until a few months ago the Maps user interface was rubbish. Now it's a better but still there is no alternative to Nokia Drive on Windows 10 Mobile: you simply can't (or at least I didn't find a way) to activate the drive interface without looking for a destination.

Windows Maps is less clever than HERE, for example if I look for a street named "Via Giuseppe Garibaldi, 4" (I'm Italian) often it doesn't show the nearest one to me, but it drives me some other road, often in another city. And I always need to remember to input the exact name of the street, if I just digit "Via Garibaldi, 4" (very common form of abbreviation in Italy) it doesn't show any results or it gets me a completely useless one. HERE worked all the times.
It is also not uncommon that number positioning on streets is not accurate; sadly, there were times I had to open Google Maps on Edge to look for the correct position on #34 on the street I was on, because Windows Maps was showing incorrect data and I couldn't find it by myself (that is the reason I was using a GPS navigator in the first place).

If all players are equally skilled (you aren't deviating from optimal strategy to exploit another player's weaknesses) it actually has no effect. If the first player (under the gun) folds in poker it players exactly like a game with 1 less player. There is tiny "card removal" effect but this wouldn't fundamentally change any strategies besides tweaking hand ranges.

First, the Republican-lead senate already voted to throw out the good parts like insurers not being able to exclude pre-existing conditions. This causes rates to up (basic economics). So now, me donating a kidney can be used to refuse me insurance.

Second, I can't figure out what your insurance was that was only $250 before the ACA. The only people I know who pay that little were on catastrophic plans. Insurance for me in NY state as a healthy (I was never without insurance so the kidney donation didn't count against me) single male in my 30s on a private insurer was creeping up to nearly $10,000 a year for complete coverage under an HMO like I used to get when I worked for a Fortune 500. Under the ACA, I pay half that for similar coverage.
Australian here, same opinion. It seems, watching from afar, that the american public is somehow being convinced that free health care is impossible. We have free health care here and there are some issues here and there but in general it works and is not burdensome tax wise. If you want you can pay additional for private insurance and get private coverage in private hospitals, which means a room to yourself and so on, and you can choose your doctor. In the public system you get the doctor available, but when it comes to specialists, they're the same doctors usually, because there's only so many specialists.

Recent experience - my daughter sprained her ankle, so went to the hospital for x-rays. I live outside the city so the doctor we saw was coincidentally our local GP. The price $0, time waited - about half an hour, this was on a Sunday night.

One thing that may be a factor here is the medical practices are run by doctors - no professional manager people which, from what I understand, seem to be in the US health system. The doctors, in general, really are people who want to make people well and thats what they do. Sure they like to make a buck and they do but not at the expense of everyone else.

If you let non medical people into the system to manage it then, I'd look closely at their motives, I suspect you'll find sometimes their motives aren't pure.
