This is a false dichotomy, which assumes that the only possible alternatives are Obamacare and no insurance at all.

Not to mention that the majority of people who do have Obamacare are getting subsidized by the government (i.e., they're "moochers", in your terminology).

How does making this public subsidy pass through more sets of pockets before it gets to the doctor make it any less "mooching"? Please be specific.

Also, what about the people with expensive preexisting conditions? Virtually all of those people are consuming far more resources than they will ever pay in. Are they also "moochers"?

Note that I'm not saying that those people shouldn't have health care. I'm just objecting to calling it "insurance", because it isn't. Insurance is a bet.
And I hate that argument too. There are long-term costs for maintaining any page on wikipedia, because there's always people out there looking to insert troll content or provide biased information for a specifically-targeted search term.

I'd estimate the typical page on Wikipedia has 0-1 people actively looking after it. And some of these articles are extremely popular (but noncontroversial) people/places/things. Wikipedia is full of articles which are "done" but still suck.

So you cannot look at a volunteer project and determine the storage costs are negligible, no problem, because that's very obviously not the main challenge.
You can get A result, but not a good one.

You want to eliminate anything and everything that can (in)directly effect the outcome of treatment in a study. Ideally, the only difference at all would be the variable you are testing, but real life doesn't make things that easy.

Ask HN: What's the best way to handle rejections?
In classic HN spirit, does anyone have a optimal method, theory or formula for knowing when review your strategy?
This would be applicable in many forms of day to day life, weather its business, asking for pay-rise or even seeking your potential partner.

- how many times should you pitch before you give up or look at changing your proposition?
- how do you know if the problem is your proposition or the total concept?

I'm sure there's a correlation between the number of times you do something & at which point you start to get rewards for your effort. I just wanted to know if there was a more educated way of going about it rather than constantly guessing.

Thanks! We think the subscription model is the best fit for our product. While Ship is a native Mac app, it also relies on a backend service so we have ongoing costs to cover there.

Also, with subscriptions we don't have to play the upgrade game with our customers. We can release features as they're ready instead of holding them all back so we can justify a $50 upgrade for version 3.0.

That said, we would certainly accomodate companies that find it easier to pay annually. And, if we end up doing an enterprise, on-premise version, that may have a different pricing structure.

Uber and Ola ridesharing services deemed illegal in India
Hamburg, Germany has an interesting bike program where there are docks but you can also lock the bike up using a digital lock on the back wheel so if you need to stop somewhere and there isn't a dock close by or you just don't feel like returning it yet you can lock it up. I think this is a great option.

I wonder if cities will allow this competition among bike sharing. Some of these bike programs have big corporate sponsors and the cynical side of me imagines they might have an influence on whether cities allow new entrants to the market.

Not sure how that's relevant.
That would be like a Lamborghini dealership trying to squeeze an extra hundred bucks from a $2K '94 Dogde Colt that by some happenstance came into their possession. There is no rational justification for this course of action.

EDIT: except a new Lamborghini is only two orders of magnitude more valuable than a '94 Colt, a successful startup is five to eight orders of magnitude more valuable than a failed one.
The Life at Conception Act? Why would they be charged under that?

True story, I was with my mother on holidays, and we saw this awesome rainbow across a cloudy sky. My mom went "oh shit, I forgot my camera" and was about to run back to the hotel to get it, as some hippie dude told us to just look at it. Not in a patronizing way, just with a wide grin, and we grinned back, and did as he instructed. I still have the memory of that rainbow, as it turns out, and it has been a "meme" for us since then :)
The media has a tendency to focus on silly things, or get details wrong, or overlook important stories. But if you want them to work overtime to cover something, simply arrest a journalist.

not be surprising: presumably, who better to say
that Google is indeed Google than Google itself?

The problem is that "connecting to a Google property" almost certainly includes their WiFi access points as well as other networking offerings. Which implies the ability to MiTM traffic encrypted from products not controlled by Google (other browsers, VPN clients, etc.).

As stated in this Stackoverflow response[0]:

Especially #2 is rather nasty, even if you
pay for a highly trusted certificate, your site
will not be in any way locked to that
certificate, you have to trust all CAs in the
client's browser since any of them can generate
a fake cert for your site that is just as valid.
It also does not require access to either the
server or the client.

I wouldn't be surprised if AMP is also in play for this type of MiTM, but do not know for certain. Android native apps, however, are definitely poised to be compromised.

I didn't miss it. But it doesn't provide any financial info. And quotes like "Larry Page got tired of it" which were floating around the time that article came out, weren't really helpful.

My understanding of Crystal is limited, but I think of the two, Go is the only one you would probably consider comparing it to, because of its native compilation. I don't think it has a very strong emphasis on concurrency, so comparing it to Elixir likely doesn't make much sense. Take that with a grain of salt though, as I'm not super familiar with the language.
This is just the beginning.
Our great leader has repeatedly egged on his supporters to attack the media. He constantly criticizes any media agency that dares report facts that are personally embarrassing to him. Or ones that make him look bad or anything that shows that he is not as popular as he claims, or...

The administration's extreme anti-press behaviour for the past week (and the months prior to that) contribute far more to those opinions.

The article doesn't say: what government is doing the charging? I thought the arrests were D.C. police, not Feds.
Agreed. I read the article waiting to see the other side of the story, or a least some hints as to what possible justification there could be for the charges. When the other side of the story isn't even mentioned, I'm not sure it qualifies as journalism (even for an opinion piece, that's pretty lousy).

It seems we've entered an era of mostly one-sided journalism - a.k.a. persuasive storytelling.
No, I'm pretty sure being "hyper-focused" is the opposite of ADHD, considering that "focus" and "attention" are synonyms and "deficit" and "hyper" are opposites,

And the effect of amphetamines is improved focus (as well as slight euphoria and wakefulness) BUT one possible problem is that people lose control of what they focus on and tend to get lost in the details. I. e. you start out writing a letter and end up reading about 18th century calligraphy.

Human-pig 'chimera embryos' detailed
This is why my approach is multi-pronged. Even if no bystanders intervene, you still have to ask:

* What kind of thief wants their theft to be video recorded?
* What kind of thief wants a loudspeaker blaring to everyone about their thievery?
* What kind of thief wants to risk getting covered in paint?

Even if the thief is really, really desperate, and doesn't care about these things, surely there are easier bikes to steal that don't entail this level of risk.
This is how myths are created and perpetuated.

This claims from a study of a particular model of Ericsson's ATM switch whose software was written in Erlang.

A can tell you for sure that:
* Ericsson has other switches and other telecom equipment whose software is written in C++
* other companies (Nokia, Cisco, Alcatel etc.) also built similar complex telecom equipment whose software was in C++

I'm going to bet that at least one of those devices was more reliable than that particular switch, because it's not the language that creates reliability but people writing and testing the software.

Some languages make it easier than others but attributing some magic qualities from extrapolating a single case study of a telecom equipment is just silly.

Telecom equipment is reliable because it has to be. If you're incapable of writing reliable software for telecom equipment then your company will go bankrupt and be replaced by one that can, even if the language they use is C++.

Crystal has a similar concurrency model to Go, actually. It just doesn't yet have parallelism yet (coming soon).
Where in the article does it state this? As far as I can tell, they were swept up with others during one of the few violent parts of the protests and are now being charged on what is effectively a technicality.

It's very rational when you play multiple games.
In practice, if your system if complicated and you have to look at the visualization, you are already in trouble. For anything complicated, you need exactly the inputs you describe, but everything has to be processed already by another layer that can give you higher level ideas.

This is a place where I think you guys could beat what other 3rd party monitoring tools are doing. I work with some of your guest bloggers, and I work on a subsystem with its own dashboard: about 50 charts. To make bringing new teammates a sensible experience, we need both a layer of alerts on top of the charts, and then a set of rules of thumb, that should be programmed if the alerting system was good enough, that put the alerts together into realistic failure cases: if X and Y triggered, but Z didn't, then chances are this piece is probably the culprit.

There's also opportunities in visualizations that aren't chart based: We used to have something like that for another complex system in another employer, but that's expensive, custom work, unless you join forces with something that understands were all your services are, knows all ingress and egress rules, and thus could automatically generate a picture of your system, along with understanding the instrumentation: So leave that until you merge with SkylinerHQ or something.

That said, I think you guys are heading towards a good, marketable product as it is. Fixing the annoying the statsd/splunk divide of older monitoring would probably make us buy it already.

You would've thought that the two journalists questioned by the NYT would have defended themselves by saying that they were there working a professional capacity. But they didn't.

I'm not buying just because NYT says they were "covering" the protests.
