Yes, discarding standardization will make plans with lower premiums available.

Massively cutting the subsidies people have been getting won't make plans any more affordable, at least not in the short to medium term.

Wanting to reduce government spending is an ideologically coherent position to take. Trying to sell it as fixing the healthcare system is awful.
It's easy. For Uber, you don't use it, and you use cabs instead. Just use a convenient landline phone (or a pay phone) to call a local cab company and wait for them to send a cab. You might have to wait an hour or so, but that's no problem.

For Google Maps, you instead buy a paper map, and then navigate with that unfolded while you're driving. Easy.

The keel is essential in determining the boat's direction, it's just out of the scope of this paper, which concentrates on how the sail generates lift. That's the specific topic a lot of textbooks get wrong.

I agree it would be cool if the paper also had a quick higher-level overview including how the forces from the hull/keel and sail interact, right now it feels like it lacks a bit of context! Thankfully this higher level is not so prone to error and I believe textbooks generally get it right, in a "spherical cows on a frictionless plane" sort of way. For example:

Poe's Law as applied to enterprise messaging platforms.

Dear Google,

Please make one amazing chat app. Just one. Merge Allo, Duo, Chat, Hangouts, Meet, Messenger, Voice, and your RCS platform into one extensible platform with third party integrations.

The comments in this thread? They are not flattering. It is not a sign of joy that people comment on Google releasing a new chat app, or confusing your branding even further.

Here's a quick question: I have a friend on Android, I have an iPhone, how do I message them? What's your best solution. What if I want to switch from messaging to voice? What if I want to make a video call? What if I want to invite a third person? iPhones make it easy to transition between different types of communication, and provide useful SMS sync to computers.

Slack, Microsoft's Teams, and surprisingly Discord, are all moving in the direction of being a single hub for communication. Admittedly, Slack and Teams don't make it easy (yet) to message people outside your organization. Discord does, and they're beating you to the punch, quelle surprise. All of the above platforms are easy to set up on the web and smartphones.

So please, please stop this proliferation. Stop footgunning yourselves on messaging platforms. Build one, make it amazing, and devote resources to making it work for users and organizations.

If you want to sail downwind you don't need a keel except for balance. In land sailing and ice yachting the wheels or runners serve the same purpose as a sailboats keel and provide resistance to the vessel moving sideways in a crosswind.

A boat's keel is weighted with ballast (on larger boats) for the balance reason, but it's fin shape is for the purpose of providing lateral surface area.
Another disappointing limitation is being restricted to Node.js. AWS Lambda lets you write your code in Node.js, Python, Java, or C#. This is particularly useful for tuning your Lambdas based on their expected usage. If you have a Lambda that is being constantly invoked, it might be better to write it in Java. It has a longer start up time but has better performance after the initial startup. However, if your Lambda is invoked infrequently (and thus is frequently shutdown from inactivity), it would better to write it in Node.js or Python to take advantage of the snappier start up time.
Well... 15 years ago we didn't have smartphones.

If 15 years ago you could tell a homeless person that they could carry a post office, a phone box, a map, a list of social services, a research tool, and a way to communicate with friends, family and allies in their pocket, they would have gotten one, too.

Of course you're not going to pay for an iPhone if you're short on cash, but smartphones have cost less than 100 dollars for five years, and used phones sell for less. Combine this with wifi, and maybe a pay-as-you-go or super cheap unlimited SMS plan with limited talk, and the low price you pay for the kind of resources you get access to is a no-brainer.

And let's not forget you have a lot of down time when you're homeless. Candy Crush Saga might just keep you from going crazy.

Introducing Messenger Day – Share Your Day in Messenger
Very smart team, excited to see the Canadian ecosystem grow
I just looked at the paper, very briefly. Below is kind of a tl;dr (please do not hestitate to correct me if I got anything wrong [though that particular statement goes without saying on this site...])

* Based on the below text (taken from the underlying paper[0]) can you fine folks spot check me on my re-interpretation of the central claim?

>Using these tools, we crawled the Alexa Top 75 k websites
and a random sample of 75 k websites drawn from a snapshot
of the .com zone in May 2016. These two crawls allow us to
compare and contrast JavaScript library usage between popular
and unpopular websites. In total, we observed 11,141,726 inline
scripts and script file inclusions; 87.7 % of Alexa sites and
46.5 % of .com sites used at least one well-known JavaScript
library, with jQuery being the most popular by a large majority.
Analysis of our dataset reveals many concerning facts
about JavaScript library management on today’s Web. More
than a third of the websites in our Alexa crawl include at
least one vulnerable library version, and nearly 10 % include
two or more different vulnerable versions. From a per-library
perspective, at least 36.7 % of jQuery, 40.1 % of Angular, 86.6 %
of Handlebars, and 87.3 % of YUI inclusions use a vulnerable
version.

* My reinterpretation: So, of the top 75k Alexa website, 37% use a version of one of the 72 tested javascript libraries with that has a "known vulnerability"?

Is that the claim?

* Can anyone get a table of the 72 libraries tested and an associated matrix of the known vulnerabilities?

* Are there different levels of classification in these vulnerabilities? As in, do some allow for successful MITM, do some allow for injected code, or are they more benign? Are we to assume that they are all very serious vulnerabilities? Are we to assume that all these are browser-security vulnerabilities, or are they susceptible to attack from other network sources?

This is very interesting, but I think we need a lot more data. Frankly, I am a bit disappointed that they do not have a simple to read table of the most popular 72 libraries and their known vulnerable packages - I would love to know if for no other reason to check that I am not using any of them.

Though I will say one thing: 37% is a lot lower than I would have anticipated but a still very sobering number.

Let's wait for the next iteration where they put Duo, Allo, Chat and Meet into one product named "Hangout Next".

But I'm happy they do not forget the enterprise... using hangouts nearly every day with slack and /hangout . Still the best quality when you have a global team and sometimes flacky internet or below 300 Kbit/s bandwidth.
It doesn't and it doesn't matter. I doubt good business will sink or swim based on "demo day" type expositions and vice versa for a bad business. Eventually the "market" will figure it out... It may take some time for that to happen however.
Plus, there's money in prisons, not so much in complicated home-care, lifelong mental health support, and even housing. A person who's desperately ill, earns your cronies supplying the prison with soap and "food" money. A person who hears voices can still stamp out license plates and make a buck for the state or the company.

We're slavers who've just put some steps in between the misery and ourselves, while making sure the slaves are also all "bad people". Treating them like just... people... even only a percentage of them, would destroy the system and its profits. (Not to mention power, control, and political power)
> a massive class-signaling purchase

So here we have the heart of the problem.

You begrudge those who you feel are not in your class their ability to lower the value of your signal.

Maybe you should stop seeing phones as 'class signaling devices' but see them instead as small portable computers that you can make phonecalls with.

> According to the self-report of the respondents, the barrier to applying was not lack of confidence. In fact, for both men and women, “I didn’t think I could do the job well” was the least common of all the responses.
Are you serious with this?
You are just as clueless as these idiot politicians.

More often than not people are NOT responsible for their outcome. It is a genetic lottery. Will you be born into money? Then you're set for life. Not born into money? You're going to struggle and have to work much harder just to survive, let alone get ahead. That's unlikely to happen.

So a big old FRAK YOU to the arrogant assholes who claim poor people just need to work harder and be smarter, when I promise you they work much harder than yourself. Friends with that piece of human garbage Jason Chaffetz? He tells people they need to stop wasting their money (that they don't have) while he gets everything in his entire life paid for by rich donors who control his vote. Fuck. You.
> An iPhone is a massive class-signaling purchase that requires expensive ongoing payments to use.

It's entirely possible to use an iPhone without a service plan. Free wifi is easy to find in any city or decent-sized town.

It goes both ways. I'm an Airbnb host and renter(1). Mostly I have had good experiences, but I have had more problems on the hosting side lately. I take pride in my property and lived there myself for years.

But I've gotten guests who nit pick everything and then ask for a refund. I had one guest ask for a refund because there was snow in Tahoe, and they stayed for the full time anyway. Another guest wanted a refund because my shower curtains were expanding tension rods and not permanently mounted.

Generally it still makes sense for me, but running an Airbnb well takes a lot of effort. I have a great support team, and I still struggle at times.

I'm going to replace Animo with this for all new projects.
In ruby land, there's a great gem - https://github.com/rubysec/bundler-audit - that lets you know when specific gem versions have a known security vulnerability.

We run it as part of our CI. When a vulnerability drops, it gets fixed pretty quickly since otherwise everyone's build fails.

Does anyone know of any equivalents for the JS world? A quick google finds https://github.com/nodesecurity/nsp but keen to hear what other people are doing.

> so what is the big deal about some people paying for a better environment?

Because it incentives the private prison to make the situation even worse for those who fail to pay. Effectively the worse they make the "free" the more money they make.

To use an analogy, it is like Amazon Prime, when Amazon Prime first started free shipping was at $25 minimum order. Last year free shipping was at $49. Why? To incentivise Prime memberships. Only competition from Walmart forced them to bring it back down to $35.

So back to prisons... If this became popular, we'd see more prisons who offer zero privacy as the "free" option (e.g. shared bunk beds) all as a means to "incentivise" (blackmail) prisoners into paying for a semi-private or private room.

Plus when you take into account the safety aspect, the whole thing becomes immoral. You're literally forcing prisoners to pay so they can sleep safely at night, otherwise they might get shanked while they sleep (or not get any sleep due to fear). US prisons are already much less safe than most European, Canadian, or AUS/NZ prisons.
Transcoding is done in the cloud when required (some containers & encoding formats don't require transcoding, some do). There's a 3 concurrent stream limit when the device needs transcoding, so that might put a hamper on your 1K friends.
I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with you, but can you provide examples of how privileged men are? Specifically, can you provide examples of how the person you responded to is privileged without meeting them? Can you also please cite reputable sources?

This is the other source of alienation. Enforcing guilt onto someone based on how they were born (e.g. Gender, race). The last time I checked, this is outright bigotry. How about this, instead of trying to say that everyone is guilty, highlight that everyone has potential to be guilty, and a few are utilizing this so called birthright of privilege to exploit minority groups. Men have been lining up to be allies, and groups are right alongside them telling them they are not good enough.
Until this is stock behavior in web browsers, I can't see it having much of an effect unfortunately. There also seems to me to be a huge question of what that effect would ultimately be.
What do you want people who have a problem with what you're doing to say? That we feel bad for you, because you don't mean to be communicating the things you're communicating? Do I believe you want to support Trump? No, I do not.

I don't want to recap the whole sad thread from last night on this thread too. I took the time to reply to you there, and to explain more fully what my issue is. Just like I'm sure you don't want to be doing things to help the Trump administration, I'm also sure you don't mean to beg me to repeat a whole bunch of stuff I already wrote about this.

None of this conversation belongs on this thread. Rather than feed it, we should just ask the moderators to detach and bury it.
$600 CAD/month for a bedroom in a house that's close to frequent transit and in a low-crime area isn't hard to find if you don't have your heart set on living right in downtown Vancouver. I am not going to pay $2200/month to live in gangland-torn East Menlo Park.
It's mostly the highly rich that are paying little to no taxes that are sucking the system dry.
And there is just no room in your view that there is systemic racism in this country that precludes some people from "making it" in America? And that beyond racism that the economic system in America is basically geared toward those who have a lot of wealth collecting more and those that don't basically staying put in the bracket they are currently in?

I'm not saying there are not exceptions. Poor minorities make out of the neighborhood they grew up in sometimes. Middle class people get lucky and get rich, I'm sure both of these happen everyday in a large population like ours.

But I believe these occurrences to be the exceptions not the rule and that for a large majority of Americans in our time working hard and making perfect decisions isn't an automatic ticket to success and wealth.

Even if it was true that the cost of iPhones and other minor indulgences could buy a year's worth of quality health insurance (as mentioned in the article, it's not even close), I'd still have a hard time seeing the Republican side. My past flirtations with right-libertarianism make it hard to cringe at the idea that society doesn't have to save people from making bad choices, but it's not that simple and the Republicans obviously know it. They're trying to stop a budget review of the Obamacare repeal because they know that the government, hospitals, people paying insurance premiums, and so on, will see a sudden increase in the financial burden they bear for ER treatment of people who lack health insurance (not to mention the wider public health implications and the complicated cost calculations on that). That's what Obamacare was really about, and by some standards it was very effective at addressing the issue. Once again, Republican voters shoot themselves in the foot by cheering for the poor to suffer.
Makes me wonder whether or not that should be considered a bug.

The point is that what used to be legal (like say, visiting from a "Muslim-majority" country for tourism or to find work), or what should be legal, isn't... with bigotry and anti-intellectualism at the heart of it. Economics have nothing to do with it aside from the fact that an economy gets bigger the more people who participate in it - as in - we need more people, not less.

>Things like 'smartphone addiction' are why I believe software developers should have a strong professional code of ethics.

What good is that going to do? Software developers write software that they're told to. If you say "this is unethical and I'm not doing it", your employer will fire you on the spot and find someone else.

Also, what you're talking about is something that's far more visible to someone working at a high level, e.g. the architect. An individual developer not only has no real power to change the system design, he also has limited visibility.
