Fellow Ontarian who thinks OHIP (ontario health insurance plan) is a pretty good system overall. One thing that seems to keep everything in balance is the regions (think counties in America) run the hospitals and most doctors run their own practices. The province just pays the bills, which mostly reduces the conflicts of interest. Too much landing at any one level of government is a recipe for things to get neglected.

As johan_larson points out, the weakest part of the Canadian system is elective, quality of life procedures. If you need emergency or urgent care you get it, but if a new hip or knee could really change your life the waiting list can be long. When my dad nearly ripped his finger off the hospital stitched him up right away, but it was nearly a year before he saw a plastic surgeon to clean up the scar and help get some mobility back in the finger. Shorter wait times would be great, but I will take it over medical bankruptcy and ever rising insurance premiums like in the US. No one should ever have to decide between medical coverage and other necessities like shelter or food.

A argument proponents of single payer health care never seem to focus on enough is it's better economics, both at the macro and micro levels. At a province/state level, having a single payer means huge leverage when negotiating prices. Medical staff deserve to be properly compensated for their highly skilled labour, but having a fixed fee schedule for a procedure works wonders for eliminating waste. Single payer also pools risk across the broadest possible population. All the perfectly healthy 25-45 year olds pay for the care of the very young, very old, and very ill. Private insurance won't ever get that large a pool, so the premiums have to be higher to justify the business. At the personal level, single payer health care is amazingly freeing. With health coverage no longer tied to employment it's much easier for people to take a risk on themselves and start a small business. Or work for a small business that wouldn't be able to afford to offer insurance themselves. It's better for business as well, since the cost and complexity of offering health care is no longer on the books. I almost never hear single payer fans paint opponents as anti-business and they really should; single payer is great for everyone who isn't a medical middle man.

IIRC, the SRBs generated enough thrust to break the hold-down bolts even in the event the frangible nuts don't fire. I'd guess the thinking is that, if both fire you might as well have the main engines running than not (since, as I noted before, the SSMEs couldn't be re-ignited in flight). True, if only one SRB fires, you're pretty much toast no matter what, but NASA loves their contingencies of contingencies of contingencies. For example, I've read that there were serious doubts that a Return-to-Launch-Site (RTLS) abort would actually, you know, be survivable, and yet it remained one of the official abort modes throughout the shuttle program.
Just do what Kenji Alt does: crack the eggs into a strainer and swish them around to get rid of the runny whites. Works like a charm.

I mean, by all means, use super fresh eggs. But as a matter of technique: solvable problem!

Please excuse me if my question is dumb, I've never been to the US so I might just be uninformed...

I've noticed in movies and shows that eggs in the US usually have a white shell, whereas in other countries (at least the ones I have lived in, i.e. Europe, SE Asia and Australia) they are usually of a colour that I would describe as beige/light-brown. is that because of the washing process described in the article, or is it just because of the hen's breed?

I have the same experience. For context, I live in a third world country.

I was lucky in the sense that I was enrolled in a prestigious school from kindergarten to grade 4. The school has a great curriculum that doesn't dumb down math and science while also emphasizing the arts. Arts and Sciences were equally interesting to me. I made no distinction with my enjoyment of solving arithmetic with creating poems or painting.

Unfortunately, my family went into hard times and I had to transfer to our public school. In contrast to my previous school, teachers can't personally help each student because there were 50+ students per class. I also found out that the lessons they taught are already covered in my earlier years. I coasted through Grades 5 and 6 using my stock knowledge.

When I got to high school, I was used to leaning back on what I learned. This is where I first tasted difficulty in learning the advanced math subjects. Sure, I got good grades in algebra but when it came to calculus, I was stumped. I could not care less about it because "math should be about calculation, not this symbolic mumbo jumbo". My boredom and inability to deal with the challenges resulted in my delinquency. I often cut classes and plagiarism homework. I still can't remember how I manage to graduate from high school.

Now I deeply regret that I didn't apply myself back then.I am now a software developer and a lot of interesting stuff are closed to me because I can't understand the math behind them. I resolved to return studying high school algebra last year. Armed with experience and a new perspective, I realized how much I have missed and how useful math is.
There's no evidence supporting the idea that every upvote brings additional 100 visitors to the upvoted link. Even if there's such evidence, it's not immediately clear from the article. The author doesn't consider the fact that some upvotes don't increase the point counter. There are other major flaws. The article doesn't disclose methodology used to obtain the results. It just makes the claim that an article with 500 points generates 50,000 visits, so every point is 100 visits, and expects us to believe it and take it as a fact. The author doesn't bother to prove that fact.
I have mainly used Azure cloud for many of the smaller applications I run and been quite satisfied with it.My applications are on .net and I am quite familiar with Microsoft stack.I am currently in the process of building my new app in .net core+postgres and am open to Google cloud platform or AWS or any other cloud provider if it is offers better value for money and customer support.Has anyone here used Google's or AWS and got any experience/suggestions to share?
I tried to do something like this but ran into two problems:

1. it's not always clear what the domain is. Sometimes a company has more than one portal to enter a login. Now I have to remember which one I was using when I created the account. I can try to use the company name but that's ambiguous as well because sometimes the portal's or product's name is different from the company's name and now I have to remember what the "domain" is.

2. Different services have mutually contradictory requirements for passwords. You mentioned you add '$1Aa' to appease some websites, but I have encountered ones that have a no symbols rule, or some that have minimum length 12 while others that have maximum length 10.

I believe the most reasonable solution is to use a password manager.
Personally, I can't tell the difference in flavour between a fresh egg and an old egg. Texture is the only thing I've noticed. Though, for instance, that can be quite important in some egg dishes like tamagoyaki. For flavour, a much bigger difference can be seen from the diet of the hen. Grain fed battery hens have pretty bland eggs. I obsess about my tamagoyaki, so I'm willing to go to some extremes to get good, fresh eggs.

William Gibson came to a local bookstore when I was a teenager. The staff had the public going through a line, issuing a Post-It, a pen and instructions to write the name of the person to whom to make out the book. Efficient and organized, right?

So I wrote "Mother" on my Post-It note. I was curious how the author would react.

I get to the front of the line with my dog-eared copy of "Neuromancer". Mr. Gibson takes my book, reads the Post-It, looks at me briefly, gives a tiny smile and starts writing. Hands me the book. I say "Thank you very much" and get out of the way.

I open the book: "To Mother: Come home. All is forgiven. William Gibson. Summer 1992"

That book was a treasured possession for years. =)
I've heard that they remove the surface of the shell as well.
I believe the breed. You can still get brown eggs in the US as well and they are refrigerated just like the white ones.
To clarify, none of the BSD projects have anything to do with this "revamp" not-a-real-RFC.
You can buy both in the UK, but light brown are most common. It's nothing to do with washing, it's just a cultural preference... like streaky (American) vs back bacon.

And the only reason eggs arent refrigerated in supermarkets is because... well, they're only in the store for a few days tops. I personally keep mine in the fridge.

That's amazing. Did you lodge a complaint? They detained you without giving one single reason. They insisted upon ID. The officers lied about the ordinance.

These officers gave the impression that they didn't even halfway understand the law. Complete jerks.

The funny thing is, even if I were to agree with you on the police officers, it would still be besides the point. I'm saying jMyles was saturating their patience by being an annoying smart aleck, and you're arguing back by saying the police officers were... tools? As if somehow that contradicts what I said?

jMyles could've been way more respectful in his tone than he was (and no, that need not have included showing his ID). His word choice was fine, yes, but his attitude and tone wasn't. You don't need to lecture police with a smart aleck attitude in order to assert your rights. Could he have been more rude? Of course. Could the officers have treated him more nicely? Sure. Does either of them contradict the fact that was showing an attitude and thereby ticking them off? No.
> In cities people typically have a grocery store within 5 to 10 minutes walk from home.

That really depends on the city, and on which part of the city one lives in: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_desert

Because I can afford to do so, I choose to live in a nice walkable neighborhood where I do have a grocery store within walking distance, but this is absolutely not the case in most poor urban neighborhoods, including many areas of my city.
No I don't think it is permanent, I just think it should never have happened without a serious investigation.
This is the way fiber optic lenses used to work: Take a bundle of a few thousand optical fibers and you have a flexible "lens" that can see around corners or into small holes. They're not used much any more because it's difficult to keep the bundle coherent on both ends, and tiny high-res TV cameras are dirt cheap now.
> or is it just because of the hen's breed?

The shell is the hen's breed - its genetic.

http://msue.anr.msu.edu/news/why_are_chicken_eggs_different_...

The yolk is the hen's food, often from additives that are chosen by the farmer to create the yolk colour they want.

http://blog.chickenwaterer.com/2013/03/influencing-egg-yolk-...

Here's an egg yolk colour chart.
http://www.robotmation.co.jp/keiranycceng.htm
Egg color is actually a genetic characteristic. The most common layer of white eggs is the Leghorn Chicken, which is pretty common in American factory farming. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leghorn_chicken I think a big aspect is just that there is a cultural expectation of eggs being white in the US. 'Free range' and Organic brands often choose chickens that lay brown eggs though, as a way to distinguish their product and appear more 'natural'.

edit: auto correct.
Not surprising. For right or wrong, any scientific experiment that could possibly be taken as support for 'eugenics' or similar philosophies is basically banned by informal taboo. Likely as a way to deprive extremists of ammunition for their beliefs.

Which is perhaps unfortunate for scientific understanding in some ways.

> Also, doesn't HN rank upvotes based on karma and account age? You can't downvote until reaching 500(?) and having your account for a certain duration of time.

That sounds about right.

There seem to be some additional rules, too. For instance, there are certain comments I don't see a downvote button for, and I have no clue why.
There even are RFCs (RFC 2783 comes to mind) that specify OS-level APIs that are only tangentialy related to networking.
I don't know the history behind it, but yes, in America stores typically sell both white and brown eggs. Purely by anecdote, I notice that shoppers with a bent toward "organic" favor brown eggs for some reason. As far as I know they are the same in every essential regard, except the shell color.

- In my observation, nerdness is correlated correlated with "sensitive sensory" behavior. Nerds tend to be more curious about odd sights & sounds than regular people. My theory is that nerdly curiosity is related to some kind of abnormal sensory processing.

True, but many of these currency founders are looking for millions.

Not saying it's impossible this is a scam, but I still doubt it.
I'm short-sighted, and I've long noticed this when standing somewhat far away from a mirror. If I'm close enough that I can easily see my reflection, but not so close that I can see that it's definitely me, I get the illusion that I'm looking at somebody else, and then I see myself as the older person that others see rather than the younger man that I'm practised at seeing ;)

Aging doesn't seem to be linear, so I have to say this was more alarming when I was 30 (expecting to see a 24 year old) than it is now I'm 39 (expecting to see a 33 year old).

But ask me again when I'm 50.

Im a us expat living in Russia; eggs are sold nkn refrigerated but virtually everyone's home I've been to stores eggs in the refrigerator. The only time I haven't seen it was rural houses. I've known about this factoid for some time after reading an article om NPR about it, and I guess I always just assumed it was cultural assimilation happening. That is, we see people in US tv and movies do it, so we do it. I didn't know there was a difference in preparation prior to the article and most don't seem to either. So instead we just do what everyone else does.
When I'm biking a lot I tend to make a small grocery store trio daily instead of a huge one weekly.

Did Nintendo really say that? I don't see how they could make that argument when the DS literally had a GBA cartridge slot.

This varies with region. Here in New England, more people prefer brown eggs. They come from brown chickens (like Rhode Island Reds). There's even an old advertising jingle that mostly older people remember, "Brown eggs are local eggs, and local eggs are fresh!"
Define 'separate address spaces', you have linear address space (virtual) and kernel/user 'address spaces' which are address spaces but not in the way linear address spaces are.

It would be easier to simply move almost everything not needed by the kernel into 'userspace' and have some sort of capability system to enforce access rights.
Many cities are launching urban chicken programs to allow people to keep their own coops. I figure if you're going to allow dogs in all their kid-biting, sidewalk-pooping, late-night barking glory, why not allow chickens in the city?

It's really hard to say they're in a bad situation, given the company's age, the newness of the technology they're flying, and the relative low cost: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Falcon_9_and_Falcon_He... compared to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Atlas_launches_(2010%E... or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ariane_launches_(2010%...

Six/Seven launches a year puts them quite comparable to Ariane, and only slightly behind the nearly twice as expensive Atlas flights. Nobody is going to fault SpaceX for taking a breather for a day to help ensure their hardware reaches orbit rather than launching through an anomaly and raising the risk of a failure.
Such a system would likely help improve quality, it's just that it'd also be extremely difficult (and potentially costly/time consuming) to implement. After all, likely importance and accuracy are also (to some degree) community specific as well as relevance. A forum based on politics might consider a Donald Trump memo leak as the most important submissions whereas one about video game speedruns might consider a TAS video as theirs. A forum or site that supports a certain candidate might (unfortunately) want articles that support their preconceptions voted up more. And heck, even the way said factors are weighted would be context dependent. A news site striving for accuracy or a skeptics community might want to focus more on the submission's accuracy or literacy while a subreddit may want to focus on the likely importance of said submission.

It's an interesting idea, and I would love to see a system which could weight factors like this in a way that's easy to tailor for different communities. But when you consider the time and effort needed for such a system, I can definitely see why most just go with typical vote counts for ranking stuff.

A friend with chickens sent me this article a long time ago: http://www.motherearthnews.com/real-food/how-to-store-fresh-...

Summary: unwashed eggs are edible for up to eight weeks on the counter, and can go much longer than that if refrigerated. Washed eggs go bad more quickly, but should still be ok for a couple of months. The hard part is, you really have no way to know how long it's been since a store-bought egg was laid.

I usually now just install things as I need them and I feel that it is a smooth process. Installing software and managing packages has become much easier in recent years.

It is ideal from the browser's perspective, but not for the user who is also using other applications in addition to the browser :)

It only takes one confused app autoupdater (typically secured at least in part with TLS) to get pwned.

If browsers want to be resilient to the possibility that the system stack is not secure, I don't mind terribly. After all, browser vendors have dedicated TLS security teams and certificate trust programs, so they can do their own thing and ensure it's secure. Custom TLS stacks get in the way of some of the goals I mentioned, such as user-customized trust settings and packet sniffing, but that's not the end of the world. What I do mind is if the system stack is actually not secure. If nothing else, that means that applications bundled with the system are likely to be at risk.

Non-browser third party applications have to outsource their security policy to someone. They can choose to trust the OS, or to get a TLS stack from somewhere and ship that. In today's world, both approaches have ups and downs from a security perspective. The basic problem is that for maximum security, TLS stacks and their configurations should be updated regularly, mainly to update the trusted certificate list, but also to address vulnerabilities in protocols, ciphersuites, implementation, etc. But many users rarely update their OS. On the other hand, even if you ensure that users update your app (via an autoupdater), you're still responsible for ensuring you ship updates promptly. Even if you cease development because you lost interest or your startup got bought for a trillion dollars or went bankrupt or whatever. And this applies to every single program that wants to establish a secure connection, which these days is basically everything that connects to the Internet.

Of course, on Linux distros, application updates tend to come with system updates, so you probably can't do any better than trusting the system, at least when it comes to updates...

Today, I think many applications which would be happy to trust the system ship their own TLS stacks anyway, just because it's easier - because of fragmentation and the lack of good wrapper APIs in many environments. For example, the Rust ecosystem has thus far mostly depended on OpenSSL bindings for TLS, but there's a desire to move to the new "rust-native-tls" crate, which wraps SChannel on Windows, SecureTransport on Darwin, and OpenSSL elsewhere. Works for Rust; but if there's a C equivalent, I haven't heard of it...
