I'm not sure that's the whole story. Do European doctors and hospital administrators make $350,000/yr, plus kickbacks from the pharmaceutical companies? There's a lot of structural inefficiencies in the American system that are not incentivised to go away.
The country is paying more for healthcare in the US as well, the single payer healthcare is just much more efficient.
Why anyone would start a project exclusively supporting Python 2 six years after the release of Python 3 is beyond me. (GitHub lists the first commit in Nov 2014).
The pen is mightier than the sword, but sometimes comes up dry against a simple diacritical mark.
Reminds me of this tidbit on etiquette from the 1940s, "Junior Prom". "Let's follow these students as they go on a date and see if their manners have anything to do with their fun."

Ok, might be i'm missing something, let's wait.
It's a can of worms. Once that control is in place, you'll have people flying in to give birth in the US and then immediately purchase property in the name of their newborn.
A lot of sexist nonsense in this list - I hope it won't be overlooked. We have most definitely moved on from these primitive days as a species ..
During the recession, I parked a significant amount of money in a variety of organizations that operate pipelines for oil, gas, CO2 and other products. Their sole purpose in being is to shlep stuff around and pay dividends.

For about 7 years, I was collecting an effective 10% dividend while getting significant capital appreciation as well.

Likewise, as part of my diversified retirement portfolio, I have a portion in boring dividend paying stocks that generate moderate returns and don't get punished as severely during bad market conditions.
Europe was more expensive a couple of years ago. Now is much cheaper, just pick equivalent cities and compare them on Numbeo.

e.g.
Hamburg vs Seattle
https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/compare_cities.jsp?cou...

The past years I used to travel each year to US, in different parts (Dallas, Chicago, Seattle etc...) and I always had the impression that USA is way more expensive - from the perspective of someone who goes to a restaurant and enjoys good food and a good bottle of wine.

Also health insurance is cheaper here, and my coverage is very good.
Los Gatos: Oak and Rye is my favorite pizza from a brick oven and I want to re-create it. :)

I have to say in all the years of hacker news, this article was very welcome and makes this place feel all the more special and cozy!
Yeah, hard to know who's right before we get immortal. But nature can produce immortality and evolution didn't settle on it so we should wonder why.
Varasano's is the best pizza in ATL. This is the reason why.
I tried it out quickly and have two suggestions:

1) Pre-fetch the data such that the page can be immediately rendered when opening a new tab. Seeing a 1+ second loading animation for something done as often as opening a new tab introduces unnecessary friction.

2) Retain a history such that the user can see which books they have had shown to them so they don't suddenly lose a suggestion by closing a tab.
This isn't an issue, you can do the same thing with the main login form and a number of undocumented APIs. I've never seen anyone else acknowledge "confirmation of email address existence" as a security issue and I don't see why Google should be the first.
Sad, but true: "the fact that this treatment is more readily available means U.S. patients (insured ones, anyway) who might not need it go under the knife just to be safe"

I only had to make that choice once, namely with the removal of my wisdom teeth. I'm glad I insisted on local anesthetic.
Hmm, seems a bit incoherent collection of screenshots of IDEs, editors, desktop environments and whatnot.

Not sure what's the idea here.
https://www.amazon.ca/Elements-Pizza-Unlocking-Secrets-World...

I've been reading this book and it has a good mix of history/context, technique and recipes. It is aimed at folks with a regular oven. Its process for Margherita is multi-step and uses the broiler aggressively; more than I would normally be comfortable with. The output from my regular oven (max 550 C) matches the cover image from the book.

The dough is key, though. I like high salt, low yeast, long fermentation styles. I'm still doing trials with different flour (e.g. caputo 00, blue bag (a standard pizza flour) vs. generic all-purpose flour) to suss out the difference flour makes but the book goes into this in depth, including a basic overview of what the different ingredients are for, chemically, to give you a sense of why some recipes are different (long vs. short fermentation influences amount of yeast/salt.)
I did a lot of cast iron tortilla pizza in college, its no joke you can get a really good "pizza" without point 1.
>64 bit double precision is millimeter accurate to the orbit of Neptune.

It's a good point of order though, I got this mixed up last time I looked at issues in that system. I got fed up trying to explain, that the integration scheme used there is "symplectic" - it doesn't require gross adjustments, so the many bugs that have and will spring up shouldnt be patched with gross adjustments. If the model is gaining or loosing energy, i cant blame it on the integrator or on missing physics.

So regardless of that, thanks for the correction, i had got it in my head 53bit mantissa was somewhat less than mm resolution at Neptune. Im still wary that the resolution could easily cause problems, but accept there is a fair chance these could be avoided with careful calculations.
I get ok results even with thin crust at 550F. Baking stone is a must. Cover with parchment paper right before putting the pizza on, optionally (we had issues with our stones cracking before we started doing that).

You want a peel. Coarse ground cornmeal, coarse Durham wheat flour, and other course-ground wheat products all work well to keep your dough mobile. Make sure you can shake it on the peel before trying to transfer. Build the pizza on the peel or you'll make a mess of it.

You can probably get away with a lower oven temp with pan pizza. Oil cast iron pan, preheat oven. Build pizza in pan (dough running up the sides). Cook on stovetop until it starts to sizzle (I also hit the top with a heat gun at this point, but you don't have to). Move to oven, turn broiler on, cook until the top looks done. May take some experimentation, but it takes less equipment than using a stone and peel. Note: I haven't done this one in a while and I think maybe I cooked it for a few minutes before kicking in the broiler, but I'm not sure. Experiment.

You can make pretty good pizza with dough made in a bread machine. If you have one, consider starting with that. Much easier.

[EDIT] more lifehack protips now that I have a keyboard:

1) If you like pepperoni pizza, try the sandwich-slice stuff at the deli counter. Even the cheaper varieties of this are better than the small ones you find in packages. If you're going to a real deli or whatever keep doing what you're doing, but this will help with ordinary grocery store shopping.

2) You don't have to have fresh mozz for every pie (though man is it good) but do spend up slightly on the cheese if you can, and favor block over pre-shredded (no anti-caking agents in the block cheese). HOWEVER, as long as you don't get the absolute worst cheese you can find, cheaping out a bit here will not ruin your pizza, it just won't be as good. You can still beat all the major chains with Kraft. Also: consider mixing in other stuff with your mozz for some depth, especially if you're not paying for high-end cheese. Provolone's a common option.

3) Don't spend a ton on San Marzano (or "San Marzano Style") canned tomatoes, unless it's a really special pizza. If you garden, consider growing your own San Marzanos and canning (you'll have too many to use in a Summer even with just 3-4 plants)—it's the very best option, flavor wise. Having-a-religious-moment good. For your everyday pizza just get decent canned tomatoes. Do not use fresh tomatoes unless you know the person who grew them (this goes for practically any dish that calls for tomatoes). Again, you're gonna have to buy the worst canned tomatoes you can possibly find to maybe make your pizza worse than the major chains—not that they necessarily use tomatoes that bad, but home-made pizza tends to be so good that you have to really screw up ingredient selection to ruin it, though obviously good ingredients are necessary if you want to achieve Pizza Nirvana.

4) Beware under-salting your dough and sauce. No, that recipe you found isn't wrong, and yes you should put that much black pepper in pizza sauce. In fact maybe give it another couple turns.
Also: it is your responsibility not to make other people look bad.

I found that interesting. Much of what was recommended was telling the young man to be very careful not to accidentally make anybody feel embarrassed or shamed.
Not really, I said indefinitely. There's not really such thing as eternal.

For instance - in under a billion years the earth is likely to become too hot for liquid water to exist on the surface, likely seeing the end of (most) life on earth. Beyond that, much/most of the solar system gets destroyed when the sun goes red-giant. Unless interstellar travel is commonplace by then, it's pretty final.
Great article. Would be better if the answers were written in a slightly more compassionate tone.

I've asked many devs why they chose Mongo over a RDBMS. They can never give me a technical answer. It's always 'it's cool' or because they just read something about it on some non-technical blog.

It usually only takes me a minute or two to ask them a future function question that's not reasonably attainable (and performant) with a NoSQL solution... so they wind up going back to whatever RDBMS is their standard.
It's an impressive accomplishment, I think, to write an entire article on this subject without mentioning Lafayette County or its seat Oxford, whereupon Yoknapatawpha County and Jefferson could not more clearly be based. It's a remarkable omission, and the lack of comparison with Lafayette County as much so - one hardly need have grown up there to have the similarity between real map and fictional be either obvious or of interest.

Your hostile strawman/reducto-ad-absurdum is not appreciated. My criticism is a valid one, despite my mortal limitations.
I have noticed that in the last year a few coworkers had their wisdom teeth removed despite having no problems with them. It was sold as a prophylactic thing. Is that the latest trend? One coworker got a pretty bad infection and was miserable for weeks afterwards.
Without proper planning, most data lakes end up as the digital equivalent of a super fund site.
Great timing, I was wondering to myself about the feasibility of a 10€ cluster on scaleway last week.
Sick of politics? Work for tiny companies or consult. Tiny companies don't have enough "slack" for non-contributors to hide their inaction without the effects being seen. There is also a small team dynamic that can be quite pleasant. the last company I worked for as an employee consisted of 3 people, all engineers.
Agreed, a popped account is a bad thing, especially if it's published as such. A larger risk would be somebody popping one of the compromised-credential repositories. Then you've got both username and password. But here we're effectively seeing a slow-scale brute force...

Everybody should enable 2FA, and use the strongest 2FA you can. Buy a yubikey or other U2F key and use it for everything possible. And webdevs, please start supporting U2F in addition to RFC 6238 TOTPs. It's really not that hard.
Agreed. It is also easily forgotten (or perhaps never taught) in the modern world.

Somebody with good manners always make you feel special and takes care of your needs ahead of theirs. Somehow or another, a ton of people grew up thinking manners and etiquette were about where the forks go at a formal dinner.
This should get more emphasis.

Microservices do require more overhead. Additionally, they require you to be familiar enough with you business logic to know where you boundaries lie - changing abstraction boundaries is much harder with microservices than with a monolith.

I think that while they are great for scaling, they are a lot harder to use to successfully get off the ground (though I'm betting that there are places that have successfully done so)
When Engineers are Marketers
Yes, some of them happen to align with behaviour that makes life easier for others, such as answering an invitation early.

But, taken as collection, they are inaccurate in what they leave out: The very idea of women having the same agency as men does not make an appearance. Sure, they can reject your "invitation to dance", but without such an invitation, they are, apparently, relegated to "wallflower"-status, soon to be relegated to "old and ugly".

"Going home with you" also doesn't make her a _____ anymore than it makes you a _____ to go home with her. From experience and observation, "going home with" someone tends to make people _happy_, and occasionally _a couple_.

It's also a textbook example how sexism hurts men as well as women: assuming that a relationship's success depends on her attraction to him as much as his attraction to her, these etiquette fail by using an inefficient search algorithm. He will sort the women according to attractiveness to him and "go home" with the first that is willing to sneak out the back with him. That leaves part of the search space unexplored. Specifically, there could be another woman he is only marginally less attracted to, but that is completely infatuated with him. Unfortunately, she actually believed these rules and failed to get his attention :(

BUHARI'S HEALTH IS COMPROMISE BY POLITICAL JUGGERNAUTS
I would go further than this. If a task would take less than 5 minutes, do that task now. Do not put it off. Seriously, just DO IT.

It saves you so much time and hassle down the line.
There are some things that are expensive about the U.S. healthcare system that are totally unnecessary - for instance the epidemic in prescription painkillers of the opium variety - tens of millions of Americans are hooked on those things. The expense here is not the main problem, it is the millions of lives ruined by big pharma.

There are other curious upsells that go on in U.S. healthcare, e.g. off-label prescriptions. That does not happen in Europe as the incentive is not there, the hospital/doctor is not profit motivated to get their patient on the hard drugs, as per the U.S. situation.

Expense begins at birth if you are male - when medical staff get paid for circumcisions then they happen, in Europe there is not this financial imperative so the only people getting themselves circumcised are doing so for religious or actual medical reasons, not just because it is an upsell from the hospital.

The more I find out about U.S. healthcare the leas I see it as that.

Which is why pointing out others breaches of etiquette is also a breach of etiquette.
The healthcare bureaucracy in the US is insane. Every doctor seeems to have several people whose only job is to deal with insurance. And every insurance must have a ton of people who evaluate and deny claims.
i sent them emails just the way you explained. They are a shitshow who just burned through their $ on fancy NYC lunches with potential clients.

So I just spoke to my old lawyer buddy this morning.. basically for $25k it is borderline not worth it...and honestly i cant take my eye off the ball now - as we need to quickly find new projects.

re: contract
we have one in place. it has a clause for IP ownership based on full payment..and we've stopped work a while ago.

i will send them a final followup email reminding them of the IP ownership terms and that they currently have in their hands ( ie their github acccnt ) OUR property.
For iPhone owners for example, use 3rd party apps for contacts, emails, web browser, etc. Typically google apps like chrome, gmail, etc. Delete them right before the border check. Clear your caches just in case. Then re-download them when you're done.

Long story short, move all your data to the (evil) cloud and just synch so you never lose your history and configurations.
IMHO, this is a problem with the current education system, not with aging.

Imagine if Einstein, Tesla, Newton, Mozart, Beethoven, Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, Disney, Steve Jobs, etc. all lived for another couple hundred years. Do you truly believe they would stop trying to disrupt the status quo? It only takes one person to disrupt the status quo. Generally, it doesn't matter how many people are against something. Nothing can stop a great idea when its time has come.
If you take US spending on just Medicare and Medicaid and divide that by the total population (i.e. even people who aren't covered by those programs), you get a greater per capita number than all health care spending in UK (which covers all residents). So US is apparently just as willing as UK to spend federal money on health care, it just doesn't get as much in return.
It's actually a very old trend. Only recently have researchers begun to say that you should only have wisdom teeth out if they are causing problems, not prophylactically.

If your going to start some kind of business do it before you have kids. I can't promise success but I can tell you'll become a lot more risk adverse.
Yes, but also understand explicitly what the scaling limits of your initial solution are, communicate them to the CEO, and explain how long it will take to build a scalable solution for the next level and how much lead time will be necessary.
From the article:

So I opened up a server and started
monitoring it. I invited any kind
of user in with a strict “no rules”
policy.

That's admirable, but these days it's totally naïve. Seriously, how can anyone with any experience at all of on-line communities believe that this could ever end well?

... I would need to monitor what my
users are saying at all times, ...
goes against my hands off approach.
So I’m closing the server ...

In today's world you either facilitate people doing some things that are utterly vile, or you monitor, constrain, curate, and censor. You can't blame Mastodon for this (although the author never explicitly said they did blame Mastodon, I feel that it's the impression they want to give).
The situation is still that callbacks are king in the node core libraries. But there is some talk about how to move forward[0], however I don't think there has been much headway as of the last time I really looked into it about 6-months ago.

That being said, there are some fantastic libraries which you can use as a drop-in replacement for the core libraries provide a promise based API, but nothing in core directly.

There were no secret satellites. Nothing can hide in orbit. Even amateur astronomers are able to track military satellites.
I'm going to have to agree with Google here, in that this isn't an exploitable security vulnerability. Knowing that the mailboxes famous.celebrity@gmail.com or controversial.journalist@gmail.com exist doesn't bring me any closer to exploiting the knowledge. I don't know that Famous Celebrity is in fact THE famous celebrity. I don't know whether Controversial Journalist still reads mail sent to that account. Most importantly, I don't learn anything I couldn't have learned by sending messages to every likely permutation of famous.celebrity@gmail.com. This won't teach me anything particularly useful for spearfishing, as I'm just throwing out a net hoping something gets caught.
Social Security Not Keeping Up with Seniors' Rising Costs
What kind of results are you guys getting?

I tried for a while but then gave up. Just not hot enough. I actually found Jeff's recipe waaay back before he opened his restaurant, I remember him announcing it, and I was really upset when I got to the oven temperatures.
> “At a public ball, it is exceptional for a gentleman to offer to escort a lady home: she is pretty sure to refuse, unless ____ but we need not supply that blank!”

On the contrary, you need.
We can settle with "good enough" which is a popular way to a pleasant mental state in general, too.

Every time I've made pizza the stuff I've put in the oven has been pretty good when I take it out. The pizza usually comes with a very short time window for availability: then it's gone. It probably requires great talent to majorly fail a pizza. If you only fail your pizza slightly, it's still damn good.

Now, I'm quite sure that you can even objectively establish that there are better pizzas than what I make. The point is then: why would I care if I'm happy with whatever I currently make?

If I fell in love with a truly, absolutely and universally the greatest pizza then I'd just be disappointed with my own pizzas afterwards and I'd have to learn how to make those great pizzas. Instead of an upgrade that actually sounds more like a net loss to me because now I have to work to get back to where I was, i.e. happy with my pizza.

If you're happy with your pizzas, change nothing and continue.
From Wikipedia entry on milky way, "These oscillations were until recently thought to coincide with mass lifeform extinction periods on Earth.[148] However, a reanalysis of the effects of the Sun's transit through the spiral structure based on CO data has failed to find a correlation.[149]".

If foreigners were not allowed to buy that house would also be empty or probably not built.
There's a difference between being able to do that 10 times or 40.000 times in an hour.
Yes. Even in the dinner setting case, the forks have a place so that you can feel confident in what you're doing no matter whose house you sit down in. But good hosts also know, if they see their guest start drinking the contents of the finger bowl, the host does the same :)
Sure, but I imagine there is some form of rate limiting on that, whereas the point of the article is that they found an endpoint without rate limits.
I really wish the rules were better. Titles should not be edited after a submission was on the frontpage for X hours. And this title was quite descriptive in my opinion...
Crime is negatively correlated with IQ while attractiveness and symmetry are positively correlated so there's one method.

Races are outwardly visible and have different crime rates.

Young males overwhelmingly commit most crime, and you can pick them visually apart from old women who commit little crime.
