>Who is NK terrorizing?

Their own people.

Constant threats to rain nuclear destruction on South Korea.

The bombing of Korean Air Flight 858.

Killing Kim Jong-nam in Malyasia with VX nerve gas.

Are you just being deliberately obtuse? You really think that North Korea is some kind of victim of bullying by the international community?

>Only certain nations can make threats and others must be meek or else be called "terrorist"?

Name one other country that repeatedly threatens to completely annihilate another one and isn't labeled "terrorist".
I have a family full of doctors and none of them have schedules anything even approximating that; it'd be 4 days with 10-12 shifts, one 1/2 day defined as at least 6 hours or possibly an open ended 8, and two days off. This idea of 4-5 days off in a row, or even per week is nonsense.
An End User License Agreement only holds when it is in the best interests of the company issuing it and never at any other time. I'm pretty sure that's in there somewhere. Looking at those jokes as an actual contract is laughable.
And the Tories got a substantial boost in popularity at a time when they were mired in scandal. Cynics speculated that they saved the phase out to have an easy policy they could roll out when they needed it.

But I think it was the media's policy of always showing both sides of an issue that made it seem much more contentious than it really was.
Maybe the US will never get it and will skip from $1 bills to online payment but with the way the roll-out of the chip/pin thing is going that'll be decades away.

Until then coins are the best way for people who don't have a credit card to pay for things like that. Services like Apple Pay are still in the early adoption phase and aren't as reliable.

All your arguments, and I mean literally all of them, were what people were harping about before the $1 coin showed up here over thirty years ago. Nobody misses $1 bills. Literally nobody.
I assume patient satisfaction only takes into account people who managed to become patients, and doesn't include people in the U.S. who needed treatment but couldn't get it.

Not entirely true, there are lots of reasons why you do need to file in the UK as only an employee. See https://www.gov.uk/self-assessment-tax-returns/who-must-send... Although HMRC's self assessment website does make it pretty simple (compared to the US system, at least).
I took a stab at that number here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13854033

It's not a very large percentage of returns (around 6.5%) if you credit them with the ability to file all 1040EZs (they probably can't auto-file all the 1040EZs but can probably do most of them).
Yep, he said while eyeballing a dashboard, there are plenty of larger private machines..
A chemical weapon is as effective as a portable nuclear device from a terroristic point of view (they tend to exploit vulnerabilities in the defence system to instill fear in the population), the main difference is probably the damage caused by the radiation.
Most of the point-of-sale debit machines here have a configurable tip option, so you can punch in a fixed amount or a percentage if you're so inclined.

Cash tips usually come out of change. If they only give you $0.10 to work with, win some lose some.

SF is not California.

Moreover, it's not even the 'Bay Area' - it's a tiny, unrepresentative spot of 700 000 people.

Also - 'homelessness' is not the same thing as 'under the poverty line'.

California is 33% latino, and less than 7% African American.

African Americans might be more likely to be 'in poverty', sadly, but there are nearly 5x more Latino Americans than African Americans in California.

This does not even include a large population undocumented people, who are far more likely to be Latino than Black.

Here is the data:

https://www.census.gov/prod/2013pubs/acsbr11-17.pdf

In the US, Latino Americans are just slightly less likely to be 'in poverty' than African Americans. In California, with a 5x more population, that would very roughly boil down to 5x more Latino Americans in poverty than African Americans.

Hence my point.
I think that's a pipe dream. I once read that true freedom is the freedom to choose where to live, but our world is moving towards closing borders even more, and they were never really open. So I don't think nations compete on that front. Internally local people compete for the ruling opportunity, nations don't compete to attract citizens.
i think that the idea that new jobs will always be created is a bit faith-based.

historical precedent tends to be relatively narrow, centered on the use of human physical labor. traditionally this has reduced the demand for such, and moved people into forms of work requiring some amount of thought and decision making that was not (yet) automatable.

once automation begins aggressively competing with human thinking, decision making and creative efforts... we'll be facing a distinctly new challenge.

I don't have a problem with saying we really need to address pollution from bunker fuel. I have a problem with purposefully selecting misleading data to bolster your argument.
On the one hand, it's great for a large, distributed team of developers who are responsible for multiple programming disciplines... Mostly because the documentation is all in one spot, and angular material is very comprehensive.

Personally, I prefer react, with small swarth of libraries such redux and tcomb to fill out the rest. However, it can be confusing for non-full time JS developers to discover that react isn't an all-encompassing, monolithic framework, and get lost trying to figure out which libraries are responsible for the different pieces of the puzzle.

It can (and has been) done, but I do understand why people would rather use Angular in that scenario- the "don't think out of the box, it's got everything you need" mindset reminds me a lot of ember, which certainly has its fans and upsides as well.

Pick something, get comfortable with it, then pick up something else. All of these choices solve similar problems from different perspectives, and understanding them will help you get a bit of a deeper understanding of the trade-offs when more new updates and tools come out.
Yeah! Kierkegaard!

I agree with your point, even though I wouldn't call it a middle ground. I think, "make as much money as you can without being evil" is, maybe a middle ground. I think, "make money while doing a particular, real good in the world" is not- it's a thing that actually happens in the world we live in.

Maybe the news example is a little of a red herring (both an example and a counter-example in one).

Yes you're right about what I meant. Though I think you're incorrect about the idea that any axiom could exist within a simulated universe.

We have to get back to the relationship between consciousness ... does an axiom even exist if it is not fathomed by some conscious being?

If you believe that it does not exist absent an observer then it is certainly possible that particular axioms simply cannot exist within the universe -- they cannot be fathomed because time itself might slow down to infinity when such things are fathomed.
If you are going to nitpick over what should and shouldn't be there, don't forget the implicit subsidy of socialized health plans borne by US ratepayers. Price controls on prescription drugs, for example impact pricing in the US.

Also don't forget about how the US's socialized system - Medicare makes the whole system really bizarre by setting defacto price controls and encouraging over capacity of hospital beds and under capacity of primary care.
I'm currently using both Angular 2 and React concurrently. I've previously used Angular.

There are some points where I feel the opinionated aspects of Angular 2 makes things marginally quicker. However, the one thing I find most consistent is that issues with ng2 seem to frustrate me more than issues with React.

It seems that the this might be a combination of quality and length of tracebacks in ng2. Quality seems to be spotty (sometimes very helpful, sometimes not), and the length of tracebacks in a ready-for-prod project are easily enormous (although sometimes only small). Leading to much more frustration while trying to find what the issue is - probably a matter of not declaring a service in a module or something.

Similarly, the whole injection and declaration process feels tedious and unnatural to me, compared to React, where you just import components from wherever you'd like and use them.

They both work fine, I'm just noticing that my frustration level is generally lower with React. I'm curious how it is for others that are using both concurrently, to compare.

Yes. There are a few areas in SF, San Jose, and the east bay that are built up enough to feel truly urban, but the rest is low-rise and therefore quintessentially suburban.
That looks like a great suggestion, thanks! It looks like we'd need to break out our JSON data into columns (our events table is basically just an event name, time, user id, and then a jsonb column) and rewrite our queries, but it seems more suitable than anything else I've seen so far.

We've been getting good results with some tweaks to our Postgres indexing (partial indexes on event names makes a huge difference) and that'll be even more practical when we can move to logical replication, so will be sticking with that for now.
I'm sort of pessimistic. I don't think we will ever have a perfect single textile material. A mixture of materials is more likely.

Just because something is light and super strong does not make it comfortable. Otherwise we would all be wearing nylon all the time (or some derivation... nylon is super strong and of course there is Kevlar as well).

The problem is nylon is pretty damn uncomfortable.

I remember seeing something on PBS where they showed spider silk and I admit it seemed compelling and I can easily see it probably mixed in with other textile yarns.

Of course why stop at spiders and not modify geese, goats, and sheep for their incredible and generally efficient fabric production.

Synthetics still have a hard time beating goose down for warmth. Is spider silk going to be better for high loft? I doubt it.

I know many people who have been in that position when they had children. They like the city but they have a kid and the combination of $/sq ft, schools, and general environment made them, however reluctantly, move out. (The few I know who remained in Manhattan or wherever were very well off and used private schools.)
Simple neural network framework in Rust
It takes a lot more time with Turbotax than H&R Block or even just handing stuff over to a regular accountant who does tax preparation. The obscenity of paying $1000 for small business tax preparation was not moderated by the even more obscene alternative of spending four days with TurboTax (or any other software for that matter).

But at least TaxAct is a small company that's been around for about as long as TurboTax and I think their business model is far more ethical than Intuit, who are doing the absolute worst thing by basically legally bribing elected officials to keep tax preparation complicated enough that they are a going concern.

depends on whether that includes 45 million or so dead, i guess.
We have something more relevant, which is that the US spends far more on healthcare than anywhere else, but is in the 10 OECD countries with the lowest life expectancy.

http://visual.ons.gov.uk/how-does-uk-healthcare-spending-com...

> While the USA outspent the UK on healthcare (£6,311 and £2,777 per person2 respectively) in 2014, average life expectancy at birth in the USA was 78.8, compared with 81.4 in the UK.

> Despite spending, by far, the largest amount on healthcare, the USA was among the 10 OECD countries with the lowest life expectancy.
In Australia and New Zealand it's certainly true.

Cracking and Popping and Clicking – Oh My
But there are diseases where there is a debate over whether someone is "sick" and should be treated. E.g. slow-spreading cancers that likely won't kill you or cause symptoms until after you are dead. Procedures such as whole-body scans frequently turn up issues that would likely never be a problem.

There are doctors who push these things that are of questionable medical efficacy, but definitely put money in their pockets.
Ask HN: What can website creators do to cultivate a culture of privacy?
I'll start with one general idea:

Websites should make minimal use of data provided to them unintentionally by the user's browser.

For example, most users are not intentionally providing user-agent-strings, even though most browsers provide them by default. Websites should not use user-agent-strings to make server-side decisions on what to return to the user. Browser-specific compatibility issues should be handled browser-side.

By not using/depending on unintentionally provided data, the website encourages a culture where browsers aren't compelled to send by default so much data without explicit user agreement.

Well, at least they jailed her for 2 years for that terrible act of showing authorities to be grossly incompetent. It certainly must have sent a message to the cadres of spy-nuns waiting in the wings to take over. /s

I wonder how effective jailing a nun is anyway, a convent is not that far from a jail in many ways (I've had family in one and visited many times, and it felt roughly the same as visiting someone in jail).
The first amendment.
Why do you believe the language is dysfunctional?
Yes, it is. You add huge stacks of scrubbers to the exhaust system. It's not any different than scrubbing the exhaust of a truck's diesel engine in principle, just on a much larger scale. Of course, it is still quite expensive, so shipping companies won't install them until they're mandated. We're talking retrofits costing many millions of dollars per ship.
It has been decades since the political left in the US has relied to any degree on reason and logic to bring people around to their way of thinking. It's basically been name-calling (that's RACIST!), public shaming via internet rage mobs, mockery, and now, physical violence to oppress people with whom they disagree.

And I think this has made them intellectually soft. Many of the younger ones don't know how to argue for their views intellectually because they've never had to.

A now-deceased friend who was an avowed socialist, who came of age in the late fifties/early sixties, absolutely loved to argue politics and ethics with avowed free-market capitalists like myself, and I enjoyed arguing with him. But I've found it impossible to have any discussions with any element of intellectual rigor with any of the 20- or 30-something Bernie Sanders supporters I'm acquainted with. Within minutes, they fall back on character attacks -- "that's racist!", "you're greedy and selfish!", etc.

And it looks like it will get a lot worse before it gets any better.

You're missing the point.

It's not possible to 'time the market'.

If you, or anyone else could, they would be Trillionaires.

By picking an arbitrary point in time - and comparing it to another arbitrary point in time (say, 'today'), you create a straw-man argument.

"Even if you miraculously had horrible luck and bought into an index at literally the worst possible time, you would have still made money."

Yes, stocks went from some low point, to a higher point today.

When you say 'this holds true for every index' - well, a broad ranges of indexes roughly encompasses the entire market.

Ergo - you're really just investing in the stock market, not indexes.

Unless you know something very specific about VFINX - and have research that other people do not have on the constituent companies, then you are just throwing darts at a wall. If you made money, great, if not, then it's the same thing.

What someone who doesn't have specific information is doing when they play the market willy nilly, is simply riding the overall market. And like other asset classes, it goes up and down.

There are historical averages for markets, and in the long run you can expect to earn just a little under that.

Interest rates are at an historic low, and we have bubble-like conditions in the market - if the Fed increases by a couple of basis points, much of that gain will go away.

Are you arguing that this is confusing to you and therefore not elegant, or are you arguing that this code compiles and that means it is not elegant?

Would you write that in production?
Most likely those 5 transactions never actually existed. I'm saying this because it's a well-known problem that accounts sometimes gets flagged and you are requested to provide information about an transaction that never actually happened, I have encountered this myself (as a buyer). It lists a transaction number they want more information about, but you have never actually made any transactions at that time, and if you click on it you get a page that tells you that transaction doesn't exists.

Most likely there is a race condition somewhere in PayPal's backend that results in a transaction being partially logged to the wrong account, and then the inconsistent data makes the fraud detection system flag it.
Mass surveillance of handwritten notes and in-person conversations is impractical because they're decentralized.

Would this site be more convenient without forward secrecy? Would WhatsApp be more convenient without end-to-end encryption?
Thanks for the link and correction. Most of these apply to people who have income other than employment, but a couple of them affect employees only (such as those collecting child benefit). I think there's a huge difference how the UK handles this where having to file for an employee is usually an exception rather than a rule whereas every single employee in Canada must do this paperwork.
Some of the living arrangements people are resorting to just reek of desperation:

http://www.businessinsider.com/how-millennials-live-in-san-f...

Living in vans. Living in boxes in larger apartments. Thirty people living in a 10-bedroom building.

There is vast demand to live in these cities, and their governments are utterly failing to accommodate it in an orderly and dignified fashion.

The account got flagged for information, and then went into the same non-sense spiral that you experienced: requests for the same documents, ignored emails, ignored calls, etc etc.

All in all, they had over 6 figures locked away. I managed to claw it all back no less than three months later.

Hints are: call every single day, and get familiar with someone on the supervisor level. One you have a name, you can start bugging them personally on a daily basis.

Most supervisors are slave to the risk department, but they can escalate claims.

PP really, really hates:
- customer complaints.
- backorders
- slow deliveries

If you have any of these items, expect a world of pain.
Once you can resolve them, expect a period of 2 - 3 months proving that you are consistant, and then living with a hold for the rest of your life.
I definitely agree that there is a bit of a learning curve to Angular. A big pivot for people who are used to version 1.

The thing I like the most is how they are pushing the framework to reduce the footprint. In the upcoming version (4) they have made even more progress on this. There are also plans to introduce the Closure compiler in the build chain, which will lead to further optimizations.
So typescript doesn't give you an escape hatch. To me Typescript feels like a poor mans Action Script.

I wish you all the best.
