The healthcare industry almost always looks better from an outside perspective, but once you're on the inside you become just another part of the problem.

Lowering costs is a good example, but once you're inside you realize that the entire industry has been built from the ground up to create high profits and gains, and trying to change that leads to a quick exit. So once most people are on the inside they just go along with it and play ball because it's the safe and profitable thing to do.

Everyone wants change with healthcare, but short of the industry collapsing and being re-built, I don't see way that it's going to happen, though I'd love to be wrong.
Any questions about building the business from folks here? (Happy to try and answer.)

> Given the shift to chip-and-PIN, which can't be emulated like this -- Plastc claimed they could but never demonstrated it (because it's impossible)

If they'd had a whole lot of market share already, maybe they could have persuaded issuers to provide private keys in some way that could be imported into the Plastc device (which might itself then have a tamper-resistant smartcard processor like the one in the individual chip cards).
Don't have time right now to go into detail, but in radiology the biggest problem is rising volumes with lower reimbursement. I addressed this in another thread, but it's an arms race between vendors to maximize radiologist throughput via tools such as dictaphones, templates, computer-aided diagnoses, and now, machine learning.
Both are fictional, believed by a large demographic and don't instantly signal insanity, just gullibility.

Gullibility, which is what we were talking and why advertising to children is bad. If we started teaching our kids to do things like try to test for Santa they would be more likely to come to correct answers for the rest of their lives, and in general be less gullible.
Indeed. Everything works on my X1 Carbon running Arch (via Antergos), except the fingerprint reader.

My newsfeed on Facebook is full of ads of hardware startups with amazing concepts of products. When I get into the "know more" is always a "pre-order". From IOT-retrofit-motorized-shades to triple-your-macbook-screen-via-usb. I've been burned so many times that when I see "startup", "hardware", "pre-order" and "as a service" in the same pitch, I make a mental note of "call me back once you have a real product and it does not depend on your infrastructure".
Speaking of poor interaction, I have a Android TV (Sony Bravia 4k from 2015). If I want to connect to a wireless network, when selecting a SID on the TV, the only way I may enter the password to connect is with the Android TV app.

The issue is when connecting with the app, and attempting to enter a password, the app freezes, and then force quits. Making it impossible to actually enter a password to connect the TV to my wireless network. Luckily, the WPS option works, even though it's a bit hidden.

I've tried using the app with a Nexus 6, Nexus 6P and a Pixel! There is also no on screen keyboard for the Youtube app. The only way you can search is with voice, which is not the most ideal thing to do all the time.

As of the most recent update to the TV in January, casting has become rather intermittent. Generally I must hard restart the TV before my laptop or a my phone can properly connect to the TV. The Netflix app also randomly starts and takes over control of the TV even while in the middle of running another application.

I love my Android TV, but it's a bit absurd. I now have a Chromecast Ultra connect to my TV that I use most of the time, it also allows the Google Home to use the TV.

This is simply not true. For example, Python 2.6 deprecated string exceptions. If you expect in any language to write code and have it run forever, you expect that language never to change.

The entire article is about the gang and their history which goes back decades. They open the section specifically about Obama with

> Mr Trump and Mr Sessions have pointed the finger at former President Barack Obama over the spread of MS-13, alleging that his open-door immigration policies fuelled its growth.
But the gang formed and flourished in the US long before Mr Obama came to power. MS-13 was identified as a significant threat in the 1990s, and a special FBI taskforce was convened against the gang in 1994.

Then strengthen that argument with a quote taken from politifacts article.

Anyway, unless you have reasons to try to distrust politifact I don't see the problem.
JavaScript is a programming language, yet its subset JSON is a data format.

PostScript is a programming language, yet it looks like a data format to most applications.

The web is supposed to be about hyperlinked documents, yet it's mostly about executing JavaScript applications these days.

The blurred lines between data and code are the most exciting thing about this whole field, if you ask me!

The sad thing about G+ is that the team took an important feature -- different social contexts -- and ad-centric Google sabotaged it by trying to enforce official-name crap and one-identity-to-rule-them-all.

The reality is that humans want different sub-networks AND different identities to be within them.

I mean, just look at us here on HN: It's so separate from Facebook that it's an entirely different site, your comments here won't ever accidentally show up on Grandma's feed... yet most people here still prefer pseudonyms.
I have a feeling that Juicero could as well have been a parody company in the show Silicon Valley. In fact, the most hilarious thing about that show was that everything was made as a parody but almost nothing was so farfetched as to not be true.

And companies like Juicero definitely help bridge that gap.

In AWS you simply tell how much you're willing to pay to keep the instance uninterrupted. If there's someone who is willing to pay more, they will get the instance from you and yours will be shut down.

There ARE studies showing that CEO pay does not correlate with company success. Which I think implies a lot of big ships nearly run themselves. So I wouldn't say most of us could, but those with a sufficient enough business/managerial experience could, and many of those make a fraction of what a fortune 500 CEO makes.
Firefox is a lot older so obviously the issues are also a lot older.

You can find the oldest unfixed bugs for Chromium here (https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/list?can=2&q=&so...).

A lot of those issues are from 2008 (that's when Google Chrome launched) and hence means that have been there since the beginning and most of them affect user interaction.

"Shitty" is subjective. The fact is, the Pineapple Express brings warmer, tropical-esque temperatures. I grew up in Vancouver and didn't move away till I was 18. I've always thought the rainy weather was nice and didn't think too much about it. That's just me...haha :D

> Memory safe languages make it harder to create a specific types of vulnerabilities and can even keep them in check when they occur which is real a tangible benefit, but those same assumptions and errors will just produce different vulnerabilities.

No, because:

1. Not all such errors become vulnerabilities. An array index out of bounds exception triggered by a page causes an annoying crash in a memory safe language. In a non-memory-safe language, it is an out of bounds write that can be used to set up fun things like ROP chains.

2. Errors such as use after free simply don't exist in memory safe languages. There is no logic error that typically causes UAF: it's just straightforward failure to perform bookkeeping that a compiler and/or runtime does for you in most languages.

3. Not all vulnerabilities have the same severity. Memory safety problems tend to cause the worst of the worst: remote code execution.
I do. I'm only using it with about 7 mailboxes, none of which are terribly huge. It frequently stalls for an entire minute or two, has bizarre behavior and interactions with gmail when I'm writing long emails which gunk up conversations, configuration of mailboxes and SMTP servers are fractured all over the place, and search is only slightly more useless than reddit's search.

Based on some chatter here recently, I just recently switched to trying out Claw, it hasn't been too long yet, so I don't know all of the issues yet, but at least it was easy to setup and is really really snappy and uses about 1/3 of the RAM.
I recently moved from Waterloo to San Francisco. My salary had doubled in the process, but my living costs have also substantially increased. I live in a 1-bedroom condo with similar square feet; my diet stayed the same, I pursue the same hobbies and similar habits (fitness, education, entertainment). In the end, the higher cost of living offsets my salary increase, and my quality of life stayed the same.

> And it isn't as though a drop in temperature of 5 degrees changes the flavor.

Leaving aside the rest of the discussion, and not even addressing if throwing it out was good/fine, this line stood out to me.

I often feel that temperature changes the taste. More obvious in ranges > 5 degrees, but still noticeable at that range. Given how subjective taste is, it's hard to prove, though I'm sure some neurologist has hooked a pig or chimp up to try and measure the "taste" reaction. My two questions for you are:

* Do you feel temperature has no real (direct) effect on taste, or only in larger swings than 5 degrees

* Do you have any reason for your above statement than your own experiences? (not a criticism, curiousity)

Certainly noticeable in the UK, the variance between one BK and another can be huge where McD's is so consistent it's hard to tell who owns which.

I worked at McDonalds and we would throw burgers after X minutes if they didn't sell. Can't remember what X was but we were throwing a lot of . Same thing with fried stuff like mcnuggets except we would wait longer before throwing it. I don't know why we were following the rules for burgers but not for fried stuff... It all seemed like waste to me because X was pretty short. But this was to ensure good quality, crunchiness and all that jazz. Mind you that it was not a franchise and it was in France (where McDonalds restaurants have higher standards).

In addition to geofft's mention of mutability, you also couldn't do this safely in other languages without allocating. Garbage-collected languages tend to keep GC-able objects on the heap, not the stack. This serde feature allows you to allocate an array on the stack, deserialize from it into a structure on the stack that references the array, and never allocate anything on the heap.

AJAX, bi-directional text, most conformant CSS 2.0 browser, border-box sizing CSS model are all things where IE was ahead of the times. The reason people hated IE was because it implemented only "just enough" to get ahead and then sat on their asses until someone catched up. That's where the antitrust came from.

Okay... but on Quantopian you just write algorithms, you don't have to invest your own money. You don't mess up and lose USD, you don't pay a membership fee.

You could call it version 1.0 of the system Neo uses to learn everything about everything in the Matrix :)

I don't think NLP is necessary though.

If you take a look at the stackoverflow data dump sooner or later every possible variation of a question for a particular answer is going to get asked. Ofcourse there are always new topics that haven't been covered but this is a minuscule portion of the entire data set.
I think it's a safe bet looking at Q&A happening on sites like Quora\Reddit etc in a couple years the chances that someone is going come up with a question that no one has asked before is going to be very low.

Wikipedia is missing 2 important pieces.

1. Linkage between all these questions and the content on the site. Currently Google provides this link.

2. A system to communicate to the reader what skill level /pre-reqs they need to fully appreciate/understand the content they are looking at. The UI for such a system already exists in most games.

Once these pieces are in place you are ready to create a very useful Anki deck on anything.

What most people don't realize is the entire mass of human knowledge given the size of most wiki/q&a site dump is about 100-150 GB. Throw in all the edu video content being produced on Khan Academy, NPTEL etc and you get to a 1-2TB. This isn't a big amount of data. All it needs is a learning system built on top of it for it all to be put to good use.
I don't think it will start out as an echo chamber, but as time goes by the desire to limit the speech of not just those limited categories will lead to at least some, and if history is an indicator most, of the instances limiting their connectivity to the network to keep out speech they don't agree with, but that decision will be made by the few who run the instances and control the peering, and even those who have good intentions will be faced with going along with the swarm ( limit speech ), or face their node being cut off as well. These kinds of protests and ultimatums are common on twitter ( https://duckduckgo.com/?q=petition+to+remove+an+account+on+t... ) ,but thankfully no one has enough clout on twitter to make them actually do anything. That will not be the case on a Mastadon instance when 25% of your server threatens to jump ship if you don't de-peer a node over some comment they don't like.

The averages are pulled down by lots of mediocre companies. Startups and big places like Google and IBM have salaries that are nowhere close to your numbers. Couple this with taxes here being much much lower than say the bay area, and you are doing really well living here.
How do taxes play a role for a startup that defers profit for growth? Taxes won't be a factor until you've succeeded.

Or is it that your experience with grants are that negative that you value them so poorly?

Android has had Trusted Voice for a long time where you train it against your voice by saying "OK Google" three times. The goal is to prevent unauthorized users from accessing your information while the device is locked. It's far from secure (Google says as much while you set it up). In my own experience my wife can trigger mine occasionally as well as just random noise from the radio or videos. I do get fewer false activations though so I guess it's better than nothing.

Maybe this new neural network backed detection for Home will improve upon Trusted Voice.
Interestingly in AB the investor community is adverse to tech. Because they've had few successes, don't understand it, and have plenty of opportunity to invest in what they do understand (energy).
This is really cool. But how does zero-copy deserialization work for &'a str with formats like JSON where the input data may have string escapes (and therefore needs to be mutated during deserialization)?

I'm not expecting Firefox to be perfect, nor do I think it's a particularly bad browser. I'm specifically trying to point out why web devs are generally accepting of Chrome's dominance when they previously rebelled so hard against IE. The answer is it's not monoculture that's the problem, it's the quality of the technology the monoculture is based on -- and I think it's clear that Chrome is by far the best modern browser to develop against. I don't think you'll find anything in that bug list that's even close to the severity of a missing feature that's supported in every other browser as far back as IE8.
If I were them I would vigorously avoid manually fixing individual cases that weren't dangerous? That's an extremely terrible way to build an NLP system.

What's worse is that Google essentially uses its monopoly (or at least extreme popularity) on search to essentially extort people into going along with stuff like this. If the site in question actually filed a DMCA notice or requested a takedown in a more tactful manner (assuming he could actually find someone to talk to about it) Google would probably just tell them to update their robots.txt file so that the site doesn't show up on the search result pages.
I propose the same thingMr. Paul Graham proposed.

There are better ways to screen contacts outside the organization than being interrupted. Same for marketing messages and announcements. It's important to give different people different abilities, and sort tasks by importance or deadline.

I use Thunderbird, have disabled desktop notifications, and check them maybe 3 times a day (once in morning, another time around lunch, and then the 3rd time somtime afternoon). Or if I'm bored and have no more important things to do.
