Or look outside the USA at dozens of other countries that may have some problems with their healthcare systems, but aren't anywhere close to as completely fucked up.

When I read about the mothership building I imagine how nice it will be for people working there, mostly because of the large central park in the center. It is important to have areas for employees to recharge after long spells of having their heads down working. When I worked as a contractor at Google, I really enjoyed the outdoor environment at the Mountain View campus to recharge during the day. The new Apple campus looks even better.
There's a limit, though. I end up browsing most modern websites at ~60% zoom, because the text is so huge I find it distracting. Luckily the browser zoom feature is pretty great these days, so users can view at any size they like.

"may have consumed about 470mg of caffeine in just under two hours"

I find it hard to believe that caused a problem for a 200lb person. I'm 150 and drink more than that every morning and have for years (2/3rds or a full pot, big cup, it's gone pretty quickly--like 1.5 hours). I also pretty regularly will drink 3 or 4 (150mg/ea) venti lattes in a couple of hours. As far as I can tell, I'm still alive.

Yeah, but I've been doing this stuff for a while now. I used to do it in C and then in Nim (unlike Go until about a year or two ago, Nim could always compile shared objects, so using it through the ruby FFI was pretty straight forward. I've also done some stuff in Cython and just communicated through the database to my Rails app.

I'm still not sure what the best way of doing things is. I tend to think that Rust is going to be the programming language of tomorrows operating system, but I'm not sure if it is going to get the wide library support of something like Cython, since the scientific community isn't as fractured as the software community. Tools like graph-tool / scipy / etc are hard to live without.
A big argument for using lossless instead of lossy are Bluetooth headphones. When you're listening through them, you're essentially re-encoding one lossy format into another lossy format, which degrades the quality much more than each of the formats does by itself.

Caffeine is dangerous in a way. It's very addictive and lethal at relatively low doses. Not everyone experiences lethal effects at the same dose: "The LD50 of caffeine in humans is dependent on individual sensitivity, but is estimated to be about 150 to 200 milligrams per kilogram of body mass or roughly 80 to 100 cups of coffee for an average adult." Maybe this teen had some condition before hand/was taking other medicines? I guess if they were very thin that might do it?

The UX world has gone so far backwards, regardless of age, in the last five years it's hard to know where to begin: flat design, washed out colors, thin fonts, buttons that look like badges that look like input boxes that look like borders, modals that take over the entire screen with only a faint x in the upper right corner to indicate what is going on, input fields with internal labels that disappear as soon as anything is entered, and on and on.

Assuming this kid is ~60kg (not fully grown) that's still at least 9000mg+ for an LD50.

However, this seems like a huge number. I'm not much of a caffiene-user but know I get heart palpitations around 500mg and they sure feel like if I drank the same amount again I'd have serious problems.

The Rules of the Game is a fascinating book because it starts with the lead-up Jutland, goes back in time to explain how the culture and personalities of the Royal Navy came to be, before going back to Jutland. It made my head hurt the first time I read it, because so much was unfamiliar, but a second read really brought things to life.

The synopsis / review this book offers is a good one but it could, perhaps, be generalised. Though Gordon doesn't make it explicit as such, the lesson I ended up taking away from the book is that cultures tend to go through alternating periods of encouraging initiative or obedience. You can see this in armies (perhaps the classic example is the Prussian / German army: it started off with Frederick the Great as an army of obedience; became (at the top levels at least) an army of initiative under von Moltke the Elder; and (in the West, at least) went back to an army of obedience for most of WWI), technology (look at any well known company's research lab culture), and even wider society. If I had to briefly summarise the consequences of this, it tends to come down to when two broadly equal organisations square up against each other: if one uses obedience as its model, and the other initiative, the latter will tend to win; if the two both use the same system, the outcome seems to be mostly random.

[That said, Jutland isn't a great example of this in my opinion, as it was so protracted and its outcome so muddy. Poor ship design and some sloppy practises with explosives meant the British came off worse in terms of casualties, so arguably the Germans won the day. However, the (smaller) German Navy realised that it had only survived through luck, and basically stayed in port for the rest of the war, whereas the British were out sailing in force less than a week later and continuing the blockade of Germany. The Germans eventually thought the only way to win at sea was unrestricted submarine warfare, which turned out to be perhaps the biggest PR disaster in history. I was astonished to realise that the German Navy's inferiority complex from Jutland persisted into WWII: the German Navy stalled shamelessly when asked to help invade Britain, as the lesson they learnt from Jutland was that the British Navy could never be defeated, so what was the point of trying? So Jutland had complex long-term effects that defy easy classification. Which is, perhaps, why it's so fascinating.]

Just pointing out that Microsoft is not alone with the above practices? It's not a question of whether you can disable it or not, it's that ALL companies do this. I don't necessarily like this but I empathize, general consumers don't know what's good for them, and Microsoft's reputation for security is on the line here.

No actually it does not. The government subsidizes food production and food for the poor HEAVILY.

Also food is cheap and plentiful to create.

And most importantly, food is easy to steal; the one important factor in a functioning free market libertarians tend to forget about is the natural control at the bottom, for the poor: if the poor need something in order to survive and can't afford it, they act as a check on greed and neoliberalism run amok by ignoring the fake magic pieces of paper that the wealthy wave around as tokens of power and take what they need.

It's a lot harder to steal health care so there's no incentive for the rich to modify the system to help the poor like there is with food.
There's been some attempts. Here's one:

https://github.com/BMDan/DFuse
Healthcare is a mission critical business and they need to be responsible when purchasing capital equipment including of course, software. If it doesn't operate properly for example, in the US there could not only be patient harm or disclosure of their private information, the firm could be liable for malpractice or HIPAA (law regarding health record security) the later two can have financial consequences as well as direct patient health consequences.

Running on an unsupported and even if supported, not updated, software, invites failure and nobody can feel that their health records are secure.

Airplane maintenance for a Boeing or Airbus is very expensive, but you have to do it. The same may be true of devices and software in healthcare. Still need to do it right.

I don't see the alternative. Do you?

And this, I think, is where our perceptions differ: I do not categorize the above as "shallowly interesting"

I see the current political climate as something we will look back and read textbooks about. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm just another "doomsaying kid these days", but it seems unrealistically utopian to suggest that tech can exist in isolation of the politics around it.

Your own rules, "unless evidence of some new phenomena", I would CERTAINLY categorize many of the current administrations choices under that bracket, and that's why I often find myself disagreeing with some of these flags. (SOME, not all, for sure, but this article in particular was "something new" from my perceptions over the last 30 odd years)

I can only speak for myself on this last bit, but as a member of the community, I'm far more OK with an occasional focus on these outliers than some of the other changes I've seen to HN over the last 5~ years.

(to give a concrete example, off topic jokes/flamewars/ad hominems/"hive mind" responses seem much more prevelent, and THAT I think presents far greater risk to "shifting principles" than being aware of politics that truly do affect our tech community. You seem to acknowlege this in a post below, "intensity of politics", my argument would be that this is a symptom, where the cause is that the root politics are shifting as well, and this underlying trend is what I want to focus on. I'd be all for quelling the "intensity" to look at things analytically, if such a thing is possible.)

> I think I understand the point the author is trying to make, but I would need a much clearer account of what he thought went wrong at Jutland to appreciate or agree with it.

To get that account I highly recommend jumping straight to the book the article cites at the top, Andrew Gordon's The Rules of the Game; it's a brilliant work, packed with detail but accessibly written and clearly argued. This article recapitulates some of Gordon's arguments, but the book itself is such a pleasure to read that if you are at all interested in the subject you owe it to yourself to check it out.
