> "Tesla set fire to a Powerpack to test its safety features – the results are impressive"

This is cherrypicking to make a point. The batteries still contain chemicals which are toxic to life and environment. There will come a time when those batteries are "consumed" and the chemicals within them need to be dealt with in some safe manner. As far as I know, there's no battery technology with any side effects.

Tesla's batteries are well designed and engineered. Batteries before them have exploded, caused fires and loss of life and property. As long as the nuclear plant was also well designed I can say

"I set fire to a nuclear plant to test its safety features. The plant shut down automatically – the results are impressive"
I think it may just be a mental thing. I have PS Vue and I got it initially because it let me change from month to month as well as cancel for certain months without any hassle. Ironically the reason we get it is so my wife can subscribe to ESPN during the months that big tennis tournaments happen. Then we just drop it after. I wouldn't dare attempt that with Comcast 4 times a year.
That's a symptom of another problem though - lack of accessible and affordable health care outside of the ER or clinic.

What a country needs is a tiered healthcare system, like we have in NL; non-emergency things (the sniffles, complaints, etc) -> GP appointment or walk-in hour. Minor emergency (e.g. pneumonia, etc) -> on-call, night shift GPs (they rotate). Major emergency -> go to ER if possible, else, call ambulance.

Point being, people going to the ER when they don't need to is a symptom of other problems.
Bill by results/projects not by time?
I have tried, but its hard to keep with it.

I have lots of fires to put out at a moments notice. I think it would work well for people that are able to focus on one project at a time.
I note that if you pick the wrong project, you might not get code quality, reviews or appreciation. So it sounds like you need to go specifically searching for a project to learn with, rather than e.g. a tool you already use.
Also the car doesn't get drunk, tired, distracted, angry, or drive too fast for the road conditions.

Really? Because the other retailers don't use cheap labor now? Because not everyone's labor rates will go up? If wages went up by fiat, then everybody is in the same boat.

I call it 'playing dot-to-dot'. You can string together a sketch that jumps from point to point and make any case you like. Let me try.

Minimum wage goes up - so folks have more money to spend, so they buy more from retailers, so profit margins rise, so the economy booms and hiring increases. Everybody wins!

That story is 'true' too. They all are. Just, its part of a bigger story. Which is called 'economics' and isn't just some madeup cherry-picked local case folks like to trot out and say "what about this!" and think they've got it all figured out.

So anyway, its immoral to freeze just the wage labor is paid, for the sole purpose of making the rest of us live better. Its simply wrong.
5 reasons to choose Screenster over your current UI testing automation tool
I've heard a lot of stories from friends of mine who work in the field, and the picture they paint is that a big problem is bureaucracy/'managerial class'. It's a very similar and equally ugly picture that is painted by the friends I have in academia.

What I find interesting (and tragic) is that it doesn't seem to primarily be about funding, but rather about the system that has grown around them, full of inefficiencies and 'false' measurement-based methodology.
fusion + solar is what we need. solar alone requires lots of investment into energy storage, which is a very hard problem to do at scale. fusion (or cleaner fission, if that's possible - thorium maybe?) base load helps quite a bit.

You can revoke a license at will, but I'm not aware of any case where someone took something that was open source and successfully retroactively closed it. You can close your future development but if someone takes the old code under the old license and continues work on it, I can think of no case where that was stopped, or even challenged.

So it seems to me there is a real difference here between licenses that proactively are clearly giving you some sort of rights, even if what those rights are may be up for debate, vs. the WTFPL license, which is still technically probably establishes that the author meant to grant you some stuff, but it is not terribly clear what.

> There are literally millions of C/C++ programmers and projects writing secure reliable code.

I believe that there are millions of C/C++ programmers that think they are writing secure reliable code. But these there is an overwhelming amount of evidence that they don't and (for C at least) can't. There is plenty of evidence that at least C does not give you the proper tools to actually write safe code outside of trivial programs in the first place. (I cannot speak for C++)

You're still arguing a strawman. Nobody wants to take away your pointers, manual memory management, unconditional jumps or assembly, and nobody is suggesting that you don't need them. People just want to make it easier to use them responsibly without making the mistakes everybody keeps on making all the time.
Cost effectiveness and producing excess energy are different things. The energy losses scale with the size of the reactor, so an ITER-sized reactor is expected to produce excess energy (barring unforeseen new effects).
Yeah your pretty much at a near max. Take the offer with the highest base salary. Options and any other form can have a downside.
It depends on the utilization rates though.

And the facilities could be designed to handle smaller issues too. The local hospital here runs an ER and an urgent care center about 60 feet away; from a practical standpoint I'm 100% certain that the urgent care could be the same intake as the ER. I'm less certain about it, but I believe the reason it is not is because there are structural incentives in the various reimbursements they get. Those incentives probably do make sense in places where ERs are over used. Here, most of the time, they create redundancy.
in late stage capitalism the threat of violence is implicit (poverty) not explicit (men with weapons). the hyperbole in the post you responded to is a rhetorical device and it serves a purpose. is there anything substantively wrong with what OP said? I'm not sure why you find it important to attempt to treat figurative speech as if it was literal. It isn't literal and we all understand that.
I think you misunderstood. The poster is saying that if the prices are as follows:

Sticker price (uninsured people pay this): $5000
Insurance A in-network price: $2100
Insurance B in-network price: $2300
Insurance C in-network price: $1800
Medicare price: $800

That anyone paying without insurance (cash) should be able to pay the $800 Medicare rate since it is the lowest rate. That's not asking for a cash discount but rather forbidding price discrimination.

That's exactly what I mean by "first order effect".

We aren't actively and directly melting large quantities of ice. It's a second-order effect of increased atmospheric C02.

One option is to allow it to vary but not as a first-order effect. Another option is to simply not let it vary to keep the model simple.

You're remembering incorrectly then. Dialup latency was in the range of hundreds of ms. Early high speed internet access also had higher latency than modern connections.

If you have latency problems it's likely a problem with your hardware.

Well that or they just deny the claim for some random reason.
I think it is completely reasonable to take the position that the law should be freely accessible to all, and also the process of providing it should not be in the hands of a private entity, or if it must be, that said entity cannot do things like be the exclusive provider, or charge egregiously for things like copies in a reasonable medium (e. g. paper or CD).

It's not a "team" thing, and I reject wholly the implication that anyone opposed to this is just trying to score political points for their "team." Perhaps people twisting the narrative to "they won't let anyone read the laws!" are indeed politically motivated, but that's not what you or I are discussing here -- and even so, you need to assume good faith if you want a discussion.

While it is reasonable for LexisNexis to be the official provider, it is not reasonable for them to abuse this privilege by charging silly amounts for certain kinds of access, and it is not reasonable for the state to sue to prevent others from distributing copies of what should by all rights be public domain and fully accessible material. Those problems are what's at issue here, not whether or not the state can hire a DB administrator.
It can be one sided taking, and _often_ is.

Apple and Microsoft, for example, have taken significantly from BSD/Apache-like code for their own OSes.

They wouldn't have been able to do that with GPL-like code.
Signal multi-device support is very limited. Doesn't support multiple mobile devices. Primary device must be a phone, all others must be desktop computers with Chrome.
So there is the version of "anonymized" that most companies currently use which is as you say 'depersonalized' - they remove your personal information and think it is safe, but data is still tied together in unique records. (i.e. your name is replaced with an ID number)

Then there is actually 'anonymized' data which would be the release of data in which you cannot in anyway identify a user. An example that comes to mind for me is the census releasing aggregate stats such as "14% of American's speak language X."

If the census instead had records of each American line by line, listing which language they speak and other associated factors about them then this data is likely to paint a unique picture of the individual even if their personal information like name and address were removed.

I think most data is very hard, if not impossible, to truly anonymize. Even if the search history that gets sold wasn't broken out into history per tuple/record, then you could still identify at least a few trends in it.

Does that make more sense? But yes, I agree that these companies are more attempting to 'de-personalize' data for the sake of research, but, that is far from anonymous and naming it as such is misleading to the public.

Impraise (YC S14) Is Hiring a Senior Mobile Developer in Amsterdam
> curl is currently one of the most distributed and most widely used software components in the universe, be it open or proprietary and there are easily way over three billion instances of it running in appliances, servers, computers and devices across the globe. Right now. In your phone. In your car. In your TV. In your computer. Etc.

And every one of those three billion devices is vulnerable, due to the use of C.

> I feel a need to underscore the fact that none of the memory safe languages anyone would suggest we should switch to have been around for 19 years

False: Common Lisp has been around since 1994 (23 years), and in substantially the same shape for longer still. Standard ML has been around since 1990 (27 years). OCaml has been around since 1996 (21 years). Smalltalk has been around since 1984 (33 years). Each of those languages is more memory-safe than C and has facilities which help prevent other C-like errors. Each is capable of speeds approaching that of C, esp. for a problem like URl fetching (e.g. I just tried fetching http://www.google.com/ with both curl & DRAKMA — a Common Lisp package for URL fetching: curl reliably ran in about .065 seconds & DRAKMA reliably ran in about .14 seconds; I have no reason to believe that DRAKMA is particularly well-optimised; no doubt it could get even faster if desired).

I think this really is a textbook example of the Blub Paradox: someone using C thinks that for the most part it's a reasonable choice in order to achieve certain goals, while someone used to a better language is able to see that C is simply unfit for purpose: programs written in it will inevitably have security flaws which will inevitably cause harm — particularly when three billion devices, many unpatched, are running them.

> 70% of the money I'm paying is going towards channels I have absolutely no interest in

Why does that bother people so much? The incremental cost of delivering you a new channel is zero, so it makes sense to just deliver all of them. Where is the wasted money that's implied by a statement like this? If the average person watches 3 channels, and provider has a choice: charge $30 per channel and let everyone pick only the ones they want, or just charge $90 and let everyone watch whatever they want. I'd rather not be forced to choose the few channels that I'm locked into.

What IS their business model?
From a business perspective it is probably better to burn though many people at 80 hours a week, rather than fewer 20hr week employees (er, or slaves as history goes). Since it is a low skill job and anyone can do it the employee longevity likely doesn't matter. An employee that has picked cotton for 1 month isn't likely to be that much worse than an employee that has picked for 1 year. Of course this is my anecdote, and picking cotton is rather brutal by hand, hence we have machines that do it for us now.

How does case law work in the US? Must these annotations be used in interpreting the law, or is it merely an indication of how the law has been interpreted previously? To me, this is the crucial point. If the judge is forced to use the annotations in interpreting the law, then it seems clear that it is part of the law. If it is not, then I can completely understand how it is covered by copyright.

I suppose the other question is if they intend (or are able) to appeal. It sounds like something that could potentially make it up to the supreme court if it is not already clear.

> Americans pay the highest health-care prices in the world, including the highest for drugs, medical devices, and other health-care services and products. Our fragmented system produces many opportunities for excessive charges. But one lesser-known reason for those high prices is the stranglehold that a few giant intermediaries have secured over distribution. The antitrust laws are supposed to provide protection against just this kind of concentrated economic power. But in one area after another in today’s economy, federal antitrust authorities and the courts have failed to intervene. In this case, PBMs are sucking money out of the health-care system—and our wallets—with hardly any public awareness of what they are doing.

As I and other have mentioned before, the easiest way to fix this would be to permit re-importing drugs that were manufactured within the US.

For example, permitting trade across the US-Canadian border provides an equalizing force on the prices across the border, even though, at steady-state, no drugs actually need to make the return trip. In other words, allowing the trade puts an upper bound on the difference between the prices charged in the US and the prices charged in Canada: that difference can be no greater than the costs of reimporting those drugs, or else it becomes cheaper for people to source their drugs from Canada.

By disallowing the trade, we allow the difference to grow unbounded.

But the state has made those part of the law and (effectively) barred viewing them without paying a steep (for the average person) price.
