Yes, access has gotten better, somewhat driven by discounts, but also driven by lawsuits against Medicaid.

Where I'm coming from is that there are 3.5M people in the US with HCV. Let's say 10% are in California (350,000). Many of them are on Medicaid. Medicaid estimates it will be spend $1B on these drugs in 2017[1]. Based on that article, it comes out to 14,300 patients. A small fraction of those with HCV.

I would imagine if Gilead had priced lower (maybe starting at $40K and discounting from there) they would have had much less payer pushback and likely a huge increase in numbers treated. Payers are still telling people "yes you have HCV, but no you're not sick enough".

Wow, thanks mjw305! I looked Fenero up due to your comment, and they fit all my needs on call center and ACD/ predictive dialer.
I do need to give a shoutout to Fenero and their VP of customer development, Charlie Callari, who called and did a video training showing me the ins and outs of their system, few minutes after I signed up for their free trial. I'm impressed, to say the least.

100 tons is 200,000 pounds, which is 4 times the maximum payload of the falcon 9, which is 50,300 (to low earth orbit). geostationary orbit is a little more than 10 times less at 18,300

Hm, this is interesting--in over a decade the only time I can think I've ever needed to compare floats are 1) deduping duplicate data, naive comparison is what I want 2) disambiguating messy user data, which I would take floats over strings any day
The article seems to suggest that uber is complying with discovery by saying they have 0 documents and his lawyers are saying that revealing any documents he had would be testimony against himself.
This is not an adult response.
Recycling a rocket isn't anywhere near as interesting as building the first rocket. Rockets are oooold technology; the rest is automated control systems, whose most interesting breakthroughs came when enabling oddities like stealth planes to fly when they should tumble out of the sky under purely human control.

In short, this is more an iteration than a breakthrough. Not to take away from the effort of course.
Great time saver and a great way to share information on the go.
While you are correct for the most part, I would point out that text services have wider distribution even if only for bandwidth reasons. But there are other reasons, there are good (enough) and widely distributed text standards (SMS), but not yet for video.

But maybe we are both over thinking it, does the old voice network reach even further?
> I don't think that a candidate coordinating with Russia about which fake news to publish

Not to attack your statement in particular, but rather piggybacking on it as an illustration of those who are actually making this claim, to whom I ask:

Can you please provide me with an example of a widely publicized "fake news" that might have had a significant impact on the campaign, or otherwise swayed people opinion in favor of DJT? I can think of plenty of flat out misleading insinuations that were constantly being churned out by the left leaning media establishment the minute Trump started to pick up momentum.

Because that was the narrative the Obama admin started to run with as election day was getting closer, you know, just in case, and I found it laughable. That's when the whole "fake news" gimmick spontaneously became a thing across all major media outlets.

Surely they weren't referring to the dozens of accurate and damning emails published by Wikileaks exposing the corruption and media collusion of the democratic party in favor of one of their candidates, were they? Surely it wasn't related to the money trails and other shady transactions performed by the Clintons as exposed in Peter Schweizer's investigation [1]?

Are we to believe that somehow Trump's campaign "coordinated" with Russian operatives? What does that even entail exactly, besides trying to de-escalate the situation exacerbated by Obama when he tried to poison the well by expelling 35 Russians diplomats, as a retaliation for a yet unproven "interference" [2]?

Did Trump time his tactical tweets by the second for optimal impact according to good ole Vlad's recommendations? I mean seriously, can you please enlighten me with some sound logic on this? Because you will find that this will inexorably lead you to look inward at your own shitshow of a democratic party [3], and perhaps the cognitive dissonance will cease... or intensify.

Full disclosure: I was a Rand Paul supporter.

Yes, but medical professionals can't prescribe if they don't know enough about the drug.

Here is an interesting example: People complain about direct to consumer advertising of drugs in the US. What an outrage!! Well, the FDA did some analysis and found out that when patients asked for the drug: (1) 87 percent actually had the condition the drug treats, (2) 6 percent of those DTC-generated visits, a previously undiagnosed condition was discovered, (3) Only 7 percent of doctors said they felt "very pressured to prescribe" a particular advertised drug - the real pressure was time pressure. More patients are coming in armed with more questions.[1]

Sounds like DTC is pretty good huh?

While I do respect the right to protect your IP, Uber is 10 times smaller company than Google. The lawsuit is about technology that can potentially save thousands of lives and probably will be made open source in few years anyway.
You are dumb if you really believe this. Technology always proves people wrong. Just wait for it.
One of the more interesting proposals I was faced with as part of my Cog Sci & AI undergrad was that we do indeed have ways of communicating that subjective/experiential knowledge — knowledge which is otherwise ineffable. Art is one obvious example of this. At its best, art is able to communicate things that a purely propositional language cannot. The same could be said of rituals — participation in a ritual is a formalized way of forcing you to take on specific states of being that convey a kind of knowledge that can only be acquired by embodying it.

This might all sound a little floofy, but it's really not. Think about the deep knowledge conveyed through game simulations. I've never been to space, but thanks to hours and hours of playing Kerbal Space Program, I really do have some sense of what it's like to navigate through space — a knowledge that goes far deeper than if I had only learned all of Kepler's and Newton's laws and equations.

The real reason innovation died is a complex and meandering sadness, but basically the business leaders prioritized head count and comfort over whatever it takes to lure creative, intelligent, academic, etc people into an industry and do non-linear things. I think there are similar parallels to computer architecture and operating systems, but these are a bit more widely approachable so there's still a small influx of academics and new companies.

Django famously had a "magic removal" refactor before 1.0 as they collectively decided they had gone too far. They've since plotted a more conservative path but the ORM and similar magic was deemed reasonable.

I've found Django's metaclass usage pretty robust over the years. The curtain mostly remains unpeeked behind.
All due respect I find little evidence among these posts that people on HN really understands what's going on nor that they can put it in context of the history, current developments or future of the field. Between the tangible nature of launching things into space and the hype of the company, every launch becomes amazing. Which is of course okay, it's good to be excited about things.

But don't come dragging with how "people don't understand" when the majority of people here spend much of their time much closer to pushing Emojis than engineering rockets. Next week there's will be about as much amazement here for the world changing potential Amazon changing their packaging to a different colour.

"People" will realize that it's amazing when they see the results, but they will also ask the obvious questions like "How many times can you reuse a rocket?", "How much cheaper will it be to put things in space?", "Is that a good thing, a bad thing or both?" i.e. the interesting parts that remain unanswered. At least if there's still decent documentaries around and not only "top 10 extreme mega things".

We are living through the modern equivalent of when Guthenberg's technology allowed people to print their own bibles. You might remember how that one turned out: a huge religious schism, civil wars, large-scale terrorism, new laws enshrining religious discrimination which lasted for centuries...

I'm not saying this is what will happen; I think we've just underestimated the chaos the internet might have unleashed. It will certainly be worth it, in the long run; but at the moment it doesn't feel that great.
Yes, if you knew the company was throwing expensive parties every weekend and spending millions of chefs on a regular basis, maybe. But you don't. The point was, the stuff the commenter highlighted doesn't really explain their losses.
It is an iteration than it seems many experts thought impossible.

It's kind of weird to think that it would be so reliable that it wouldn't even need serious inspection before flying again!

But I guess other vehicles like cars and trucks are in that category (they don't typically receive an in-depth safety inspection before and after each trip), so maybe rockets can get there too...

Ask HN: Why all the hate for ISP?
I worked for one. Contrary to popular belief; not just any "idiot" can run an ISP.

I can understand the frustration with poorly trained CSR, billing error and etc. After all it's a business to make money; we are not going to hire MIT graduate just to tell the customer to reboot their equipments.

Internet isn't "free"; it's expensive to run an access technology infrastructure. Running fiber, coax cost is not just a money problem but also political(town permit, pole rights).

All things aside the technology is interesting...

We are doing IOT, devOPS way before it was such a thing. Running data center, configuration management, automation, DDOS mitigation are our DNA. Granted not all the department embrace the "HN" culture but there are us who gets it.

I guess ISP is just a something that the tech people love to hate?

I'm a fellow developer, would be interested in hearing you describe your system in more detail.
Why Humans Are Creatures of Habit
The fact that you can steal the technology without any consequences will drastically slow down the development of such technology, since noone would be willing to invest a lot of money into something that can be easily stolen. And will potentially cost more lives in the long term.
You measure how much stress is applied to critical components, which uses up some of their finite lives. From experiment and theory, we know how much "damage" is done to a part subjected to a given stress. Similarly we know how much stress on components is generated in each launch. Therefore we can take the total life of each critical part (determined thru experiment and analysis), and divide it by the reduction in life (= damage) for each launch, to get the number of remaining launches. The part with the lowest remaining life determines the life of the system.
The "toys" are what would drive any new growth in the system and to make up for the extra heating needs in the winter months. If the island had a larger source of hydro or geothermal, this wouldn't be much of a story, but the single source by itself isn't enough to meet all of the needs or they wouldn't have bothered to put them in place.
Scripting Go: Putting Lua Behind Bars
Why is that so ? If you can do a<b and a>b reliably, you can get equality as !(a<b || b<a). Inequality has the same issues for very close values.
Falcor sort of solves this by allowing you to communicate "references" in the graph. For example, it might inform you that users.52.friends.1 is actually users.45, so the client will cache it at that location instead.

This is less complicated than GraphQL's solution of using the Relay Node interface.
The EELV program doesn't actually require two different providers to guarantee access to space. It requires two different families of launch vehicles. ULA had the Atlas V and Delta IV families.
> literal ethnic cleansing

I get that you think this is good rhetoric. It isn't. Literal ethnic cleansing would mean that ethnicity alone was the deciding factor for deportation. When you use rhetoric like this, you polarize anyone who doesn't agree with you. I honestly believe that the current marching orders for the Right are to try and stoke the Left into as many of these extreme generalizations as possible to polarize the middle.

> material physical threat to people's lives

I'm curious why a no fly zone in Syria and death-by-missile-du-jour don't get this same classification? I dropped bombs on men, women, and children for 8 years and for some reason it didn't seem like they cared that we wrote "hope" and "change" on the side of them.

Really? This is absurd. You just wrote that purpose of ICE is to maim immigrants... this is not logic.
I hope you get restitution from AirBNB. I'd be really curious to see what if any action they take against the guests. Unless the guests somehow used fake names it seems like it would be easy for AirBnB to go after them?
Oh boy, speaking as someone who unfortunately grew up in a high Muslim immigrant neighborhood, you're in for a ride if you think Muslims will integrate as well as German or other European migrants - or at all.

As far as I'm concerned that kind of immigration is pure cancer and has directly led to lowered quality of life for me and many other people here. I can't even think of a single positive aspect of Muslim immigration, especially not in a large scale - maybe you can give me some hints?

Why would any sane person welcome more of those Islamic nutters into their community?

There is no spice on mars. Even if there was, it would not make sense to transport it to Earth[1]. It's not clear what would be the business model. The only thing I see is tourism : hotels, casinos, etc. So basically like Las Vegas, but on mars. Just as in Futurama [2].

Could be cool, but probably not exactly the romantic image Musk's supporters might have in mind.

1. "Well, I think any natural resource extraction on Mars would be - the output would be for Mars. It definitely wouldn't make sense to transport Mars stuff 200 million miles back to Earth. Honestly, if you had like crack-cocaine on Mars, in like prepackaged pallets, it still wouldn't make sense to transport it back here. It's be good times for the Martians, but not back here. Resources would be for a colony to use." http://shitelonsays.com/transcript/elon-musk-at-mits-aeroast...

I think the posters are making some subjective judgements that vary from the norm.

There was a Boston College study awhile back that tracked a group of valedictorians. The were almost all successful and satisfied with life, but were more likely to be in professions. (Doctor, nurse, accountant, etc)

In this forum, entrepreneurs are on a pedestal. It's a different personality type -- when people with entrepreneurial instincts are in an environment that doesn't support them, they tend to do poorly.

My sister was a valedictorian. She's smart and creative, has a great career in a great company, is in a good marriage and has a happy family. Success by any measure that I can think of. There are people on HN who know who she is, but she is unlikely to be a billionaire tech mogul, which seems to be the standard of success in this particular story's comments!

I try to use Bazaar. :) Don't laugh. You probably have never heard of it. If you have you probably forgot about it soon afterwards. It is distributed VCS just like Git and Mercurial. But the model of how data is stored and accessed just feels nicer. It doesn't just feel nicer, it is nicer. Special bonus, the commands make sense and are similar to commands you may have been used to with SVN.
Rockets generally want to fly over unpopulated areas to avoid raining debris on people should they explode. They get a boost as well when flying east due to the earths rotation. As a result, launch pads are located in areas where the rocket will be able to fly east over an ocean or unpopulated area.

From the bit I know, I think there are at least some options available. For example, in nginx I believe you can use the "map" module to mix and match different components of the request into your limiting.

From what I saw, HAProxy appears to be even more powerful. Its ACL concepts are completely able to create rules based on headers, IPs in the request, etc. and you can compose them into larger ACLs.

With the example of request priority, if you can determine the priority by it's URL or a header, let's say, you can achieve this with nginx. But if you need to look the user up in a DB and see how much they're paying you, you obviously have to do it in the application.

You are right that the police can't force you to talk and that a judge can't if you are on trial.

However a judge could force you to testify in someone else's case. You can't broadly plead the 5th in that case unless the testimony is incriminating. Let's say you saw a murder happen at a hotel you were at while cheating with your wife. A judge is allowed to force you to answer the question.
