"In any case arising out of the administration by the Secretary of laws and benefits under this title, a person who is mentally incapacitated, deemed mentally incompetent, or experiencing an extended loss of consciousness shall not be considered adjudicated as a mental defective under subsection (d)(4) or (g)(4) of section 922 of title 18 without the order or finding of a judge, magistrate, or other judicial authority of competent jurisdiction that such person is a danger to himself or herself or others.".

So now a magistrate must make determination of "mental defective[ness] from the facts at hand before records can be updated to say the person is not competent enough to safely own a firearm. Objectively this sounds like adding due process where there was none before.

That's a little different from the headline of the article which suggests that mentally unstable veterans previously unable to buy guns can now nip on down to the nearest firearms dealer and buy their weapon of choice.

The headline also suggests (to me) a context of "now they can go shoot everyone up!" But the actual concern is around suicide.

The article does cover this (sort-of objectively [1]), but I'm surprised and offput by such clickbait headlines from NPR.

[1] In that sort-of objective way that doesn't involve directly criticizing, yet still comes across as subtly opinionated based on the ordering of content and quotes.

Planes are very fragile and are not meant to be able to sustain loss of control at high speeds. Sudden disintegration does happen mid air following a loss of control.

I am always impressed at how they look like a big chunk of metal from the outside, but they are in fact mostly made out of air and very thin and light materials.

The headline misrepresents the issue.

The US Constitution explicitly recognizes the right of individuals to possess weapons for self-defense. Yes, there is a proper process of disarming the "mentally incapacitated" which terminates that right thru adjudication.

The problem with the headline is the wanton failure to note that designating many veterans (and others) as "mentally incapacitated" is usually done as a bureaucratic step, checking off the appropriate box on a form - with absolutely no requirement to justify the designation, much less prove it to a judge for that particular individual affected. Many are simply marked as "mentally incapacitated", and thus deprived of their right & tools for self-defense, simply because of age, vague circumstance, irrelevant history, or other weak reasons (if any reason at all).

The bill restores the standard of having to actually demonstrate, in court, that this person, for these reasons, really does pose a threat to self or others if continuing to exercise his own right to own tools for self-defense.

TL;DR - the term "mentally incapacitated" in the headline is in scare-quotes for a reason: a great many so designated aren't; it should take more than a box on a form checked by a random bureaucrat to end one's enumerated right to self-defense.
Just a massive list of fixed bugs: in particular, paging utilities and history when SSHd into a Unix box work again so this is way more usable as a daily driver than the last release.

When an airframe is stressed beyond its design limits it can't be put back into service. It's conceivable that it could be put through a "C-check" type process of disassembly and inspection, but given the age and residual value of the plane that might not have been cost effective.

My experience has been closer to that of
mcphilip, every time we bring in a new system we end up with consultants from both sides (the new product and the hospital information system) and the cost is quite high. Where I work, exchanging HL7 messages directly with another organization has never been on the table and we have done a couple interop projects with other area hospitals.

That said, in my opinion the two organizations looking to exchange messages would need to have a pretty good relationship and a real business need in order to pursue this strategy. They may also have to compromise on dictionary values, etc., in order to have comprehensible data on both sides. For organizations with even a modest amount of rivalry, I can't see them spending this kind of time, effort and money.

My understanding was that "meaningful use" would make interop much easier, perhaps on a higher level than HL7 messages. In my experience this has not been the case.
For the record, the ACLU supports the above House Bill, because the term _Guardian_ is overly broad. See the ACLU argument here: https://waysandmeans.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/AC...

capabilities, not the characteristics and capabilities that are sometimes attributed (often mistakenly)
to any group or class to which they belong. A disability should not constitute grounds for the

Commits are immutable; when you squash commits you're replacing them with new ones and rewriting the history. And since there is no difference between your local repository and the remote one, the reason why you wouldn't squash commits on the remote repository is to be nice to your coworkers.

So unlike PR's, if your coworkers criticize your commit messages it's already too late.
You can shield parry guardians. I mean, missing the parry is almost guaranteed death, but it deals a lot of damage.
No, I meant Value. He's an expert in the industry, he has connections to potential customers, he presumably has their trust. That's crazy valuable. That takes years to develop, and there's no "hack" to get around it.

Right now, the vertical separation minima for aircraft worldwide are not conditional on size. At altitudes above 28,000ft MSL, the minimum vertical separation is 1000ft, even for superjumbos. It is probably a rare event that two aircraft come so close both vertically and horizontally, but I wonder if there will be a rule change because of this incident nonetheless.

By contrast, the horizontal separation minima vary dramatically based on the size of the leading aircraft.
Actually I don't think you take your rights very seriously at all.
The degree to which you are incapacitated is important. We wouldn't be hearing ableist arguments if the topic were anything other than guns. Not every mentally incapacitated person is a psychotic murderer and its discriminatory to think so.

But I'm not talking about relative goodness or badness.

If I say "boy I'm tired today, I only slept 4 hours" and you say "you're tired? I didn't sleep at all!", your being more tired doesn't make me any less tired.

In the same regard, other governments doing a much worse job than the US government doesn't mean that the US government is doing the best job that it can.
The different exchanges are selling the exact same instrument. It's like having bank A offering $1.10 CAD for your USD, and bank B offering $1.20 CAD. If the spread is unusually large (eg, 9%) due to transient factors, they will definitely converge again in the future. There might be other risks involved, like counterparty risk, or fraud risk. But with a spread that large for an instrument as liquid as Bitcoin, there is no market risk.

Heh, that's actually funny. Corporate campuses are nothing new. Corporate cities have been a thing for the last 60 (70?) years. They're actually on the decline, not on the rise. I doubt automation will change anything about that.

For me, the biggest problem is the start of the (boring) activity. Once I'm already in it, I can work for hours -- just the first step.

So my solution is simple. I say to myself: "I'm not gonna work on that boring thing, I'll just have a look at it." This relieves the pressure and allows me to get started. Next thing is: "Ok, so I'll just do this one little thing." Three hours later: "Shit, it's done.".

Also it helped me to write down activities I want to stop, e.g. "No HN before 5pm; No news before 5pm".

And the last thing is to remove all possible distractions. Put your phone out of your visual field, block sites, etc.

How Tour and Travel Businesses Benefit from Android App Development
When I lived in Boston, it was certainly legal to ride bicycles in the road (and illegal to ride them on many sidewalks), but cyclists still got hit by cars all the time. Riding with cars (whether in your own "lane" sandwiched between parked cars and moving cars, or in the same lane as the cars that want to bolt ahead at 40 mph whenever they have the chance) is the only legal option to get around by bike, but is absolutely not safe. It's one of the places where I think our legal code is absolutely bats--t crazy.
Norway has been building a universal and state-run system the last couple of years, which gathers all the patient information in one centralized system. Existing commercial companies that already deliver solutions to doctors and hospitals have integrated this new system into their existing products. It is practically interoperable by now. I believe this is the way to go. The system was beta-testet last year, and is being rolled out to doctors offices this year.

This will benefit both doctors and patients, as they no longer need to manually juggle between countless different systems (and plain old paperfiles). Overmedication (and dangerous drug interactions) has been a real problem for decades, because one doctor does not know what the other has been doing. When a patient has to visit different hospitals, they have to take new blood samples, tests etc.

Patients can now log in to one service (helsenorge.no), with the same security as other state-run services (taxes etc), they get access to their complete health journal, they can order an appointment at their local doctors office, order an online consultation, reorder prescriptions etc.

Maybe something for other countries to learn from?
None. Strategy, not culture matches the 4,536% increase.
Also, mentally incapacitated people (including drug users) are a vulnerable population - they are easy prey to criminals, so it would be unfair to deprive them of their means of self-defense. /s
For what it's worth, I'm a veteran that spends some time at the VA, and I have lots of friends that spend time at the VA, and I want you to know that the VA applies this label very liberally and sometimes without justification. I think crazy people should not have access to firearms, but I also want you to understand very carefully that the VA is not very accurate as an organization. There are no second opinions in the VA's decision-making process, the decision can be made by any "clinician" (including PAs), and once the label is applied -- regardless of the accuracy of the label -- it can literally take years to appeal this decision. I am currently waiting for an appeal for an unrelated, relatively minor condition, and I've now been waiting three years for a decision on my appeal, and this isn't an unusual amount of time to wait. There's a running joke that the VA's got a saying about veterans: "Delay and deny until they die". I think the VA should not be making the decision, and that the "mentally incapacitated" label should be applied only by doctors external to the organization (or at the very least a doctor), and there should be more than one doctor that participates in the decision. At the end of the day, regardless of what non-Americans think of our Constitution, we're talking about taking someone's fundamental rights away, and that should be an extremely careful and efficient and accurate decision-making process (with a timely appeal system!).
What about supporting github read/write deploy keys? Those can be generated with permissions for a single repo, no?
Sorry, thought about it at the time but didn't write it - they are actual bicycle helmets styled like skateboard helmets. They're fully rated for bike riding.

If the cops stop you (which they do, occasionally) and you are actually wearing a skate helmet, not rated for bike riding, that doesn't count as 'wearing a helmet' and you'll be fined.

(I'm sure the idea of being fined for wearing the wrong helmet will horrify some people but remember, that's the law here. The law also says you need a bell on your bike. It's rare, but the bike police do random stops and if you don't have a bell, strictly speaking, you'll be fined. Never happened to me, but it can.)

((Which, by the way - and sorry for the errata with the double-brackets - I actually support. I ride through central Melbourne. Pedestrians are a nightmare. Having a working bell is actually important. They cost $5. The law is a public service which, in this case, works. Get a bell.))
Yes. This law would make some sense a century and a half ago. But is anyone actually delusional enough to think that a population armed with some fireguns is able to presently abolish a state that has a major military force armed with jet fighters, tanks, rocket launchers and nuclear weapons?

Have you even read the article? The headline already suggests "japanese style" even though it's just a common practice used for decades around the world. And the articles goes in great length mentioning a 600 horse power machine that is common elsewhere as well. And Japan was very well known for their "tourists" that took photos of everything oversees just to clone and rebuild it in their home country. (well nowadays other countries do that)
At the same time, the regions with the strictest gun controls have the highest rates of gun violence. It's almost like the two factors are completely unrelated and there might just be deeper reasons...
The law doesn't affect guns people already own, only the purchase of additional firearms. If your mental health is so poor that you require a legal guardian, acquiring additional firearms seems like it should be very low on the priority list.

>Backers of the bill, such as Rep. Phil Roe, R-Tenn., the chair of the Veterans' Affairs Committee, say it would help veterans avoid being caught up in a bureaucracy that can make it tough to remove a negative label.

If this is the problem, then maybe they should be addressing the system which apparently is trapping otherwise competent veterans in a bureaucratic maze.

Ask HN: Learning how large companies (500+ employees) are run
How are large companies run, what do their processes look like when it comes to financial reporting (from sale to recognition to reporting), connecting budgeting->planning->strategy, delegating P&L responsibility, project planning, etc.?

I have a case of the known unknowns. And I don't know how to get the knowledge I'm looking for, besides talking to people that run large companies, and that's infeasible for me right now.

My topics above are broad and half-baked because I'm still exploring the knowledge space. I understand things on an individual level (people, teams, management, etc.) and on a really broad organizational level (structuring and defining positions and responsibilities, OKRs, strategy, etc.), but I can't seem to find any institutionalized knowledge on the intersection between big companies and detailed process documentation.

For example, I'm willing to guess that a large portion of Apple's financial backend is automated: when you purchase an iPhone at the store, that purchase is immediately transmitted through some number of channels and all the numbers end up where they're supposed to be. How else would you manage billions of dollars of cash flowing through your company? But how does Tim Cook keep a hold on the company day-to-day when it comes to monitoring, new product planning/development, etc.? How are these things taken care of on a more detailed level?

As a last thought, I read Andy Grove's High Output Management. It's a fantastic book, and gave great behind-the-scenes information. My only wish would be for him to have written a tome explaining all the gory details of how Intel was run.

Skyrim is a fun game to pick up once in awhile, but it gets very easy and very empty quite fast. I should be enthralled by the appearance of a dragon, and it should be a significant challenge to take it on, but after a few encounters, it becomes rote and mundane. There's also no consequence for dawdling on completing various objectives - I took a good few days to go to Kynesgrove after Delphine told me to get there ASAP. Little things, i guess, but they all add up to a pretty hollow experience.
Sometimes to kill animals. But principally to kill, that is the purpose of weapons.
You don't seem to understand the market dynamics. Consumer preferences have little or no impact on provider EHR selection. In general the only consumers who really care about controlling their own data are those with complex, long-term chronic medical conditions who see providers from multiple different organizations. Otherwise most patients are satisfied using the captive PHRs tied into individual provider organization EHRs. Real world patients aren't going to switch providers over issues like this.

> Those people usually go for the low hanging fruit that appeals to most people like preventing the mentally ill to buy firearms. However it is important to note some unpleasant facts like the fact that 11% of Americans are on some antidepressant and probably many more were on some anti depression medication in the past [0].

I'm not a doctor, but I doubt that, say, "mild depression" or "previous history of depression" is enough to be considered mentally incapacitated. Is every person on anti-depressants mentally incapacitated?

The article highlights suicide rates.

> In 2014, Veterans accounted for 18% of all deaths from suicide among U.S. adults, while Veterans constituted 8.5% of the US population. In 2010, Veterans accounted for 22% of all deaths from suicide and 9.7% of the population.

> Approximately 66% of all Veteran deaths from suicide were the result of firearm injuries.

I'd imagine it's less a case of the plane being damaged heavily and more a case of there's just not enough value gained by keeping it in service to offset the potentially disastrous cost if something were to go wrong.

Did it really not occur to you while writing that comment that that analogy is not applicable here because a car is incommensurately more useful than a gun?

Also, yes, I would, don't drive if you're even slightly incapacitated. It's super dangerous.
