Let me tell you about the five major car accidents I narrowly avoided on the way to work this morning. They didn't happen but they would have!

Just because it didn't happen doesn't mean we "averted disaster." It's entirely possible that much (or even all) of the build up was normal media fear mongering and loosely based on reality.
I believe you mean the ACA. With the AHCA your plan won't work out so well.

But here's the flaw in your premise, sure your new condition will be covered. But I had gall stones, needed surgery, it couldn't wait long. I had two weeks to get insurance using your strategy, feasible.

Then I had a toe torn off. Surgery that night. There's no opportunity to get insurance, and the cost was (without insurance) probably $10-15k (the hospital, the surgeon, the ambulance). Unless you're calling and getting insurance on the ride in, you're on the hook for a large portion of that, unless you don't value your credit score or lie to them about your name and social.
Yeah, the post has nothing to do with Elixir's growth. Simply "Building a Reddit clone in Elixir" is a much better title.
Tons better (I say this as a dedicated Cygwin user since at least 2003). Cygwin, bash, and tmux are the first three things I install on any windows system, but with Cygwin, you are limited to whatever Cygwin has repackaged for you. With WSL, 95% of the stuff in Ubuntu is just an "apt-get install" away. Only stuff that relies on special network access, or /proc and other system directories seems to have issues, and they are quickly working away on that. (Serial Support just landed).

And now that they are planning on supporting Fedora, Suse, and Ubuntu environments, I can yum install, or just drop in-place any of the Redhat binaries as well.

That's the big difference - I don't need cygwin compiled apps anymore - I just drop in the Linux variants and I am good to go.
This.

But if the doctors really cared about it enough they could have simply refused to say anything, forwarding questions to the parents instead. But instead they made up an imaginary condition.
Indeed, and at the time when this was done to her, and for most of her life, she had no legal right to see her own medical records. IIRC That was only introduced sometime in the 80s in the UK.

> distributed energy production from subsidised solar would be much cheaper as well as environmentally reasonable

How can you claim that energy production subsidised with public money is cheaper than the same energy produced with no subsidies? The Chinese government could spend the money saved from solar subsidies in unemployment salaries or hospitals and free health care.

This is analysis show real lack of imagination. Continuous glucose monitoring is extremely useful, even for pre-diabetics, let alone type 1 or type 2 diabetics. It does provide actionable information. Action isn't just inject some insulin (even though type 2 diabetics eventually go on insulin). Action can be don't eat. Or action can be go for a run/cycle etc. Or action can be adjust your medicine dose. Or drink a lot of water, or any other of the things available to immediately lower or increase your blood sugar.

High glucose doesn't have many symptoms unless it is ridiculously high. If you have blurred vision, hot flashes etc, then it's really really high. But there are things you can do before it gets that high. And knowing you are trending in that direction is useful. Going for a long walk can help. Going for an hour or two bike ride can lower your sugar below normal.

On the other extreme, if you just changed your medicine regimen (higher dose or doctor put you on new kind of medicine that works better for you), you are at risk of lowering your glucose too much. Esp. dangerous for medicine taken before going to bed. Recognizing low glucose is much easier (shaking, dizziness) but not when you are sleeping. Being alerted if you are trending below normal and keeping some candy next to you is always wise.

Continuous monitoring helps in all these scenarios.

I just checked this after reading the article, and that diagram appears as-is in the original paper, per jesseaustin's link to https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms15181 .

The AHCA is the proposed replacement for the ACA that has passed out of the House of Representatives (I would guess it won't survive unchanged in the Senate).

There haven't been any plans priced under it as law, so you can't be quoting a meaningful price there.

The likely scenario in the AHCA would be that an uninsured with a preexisting condition would apply for a high risk pool (with who knows what premium) or enjoy the only market plans available, plans regulated in a state convenient for the insurer.
Worlds collide: JPM works with team behind anonymous crypto Zcash
Spot on! But American exceptionalism will not ackgnowledge that. Freedom!
I'm guessing something else will happen.
The problem is that American culture has a permanent belief that any form of socialism is guaranteed to come alongside totalitarianism, and an end to liberty. Which isn't necessarily unfair to believe- the two have a history of correlation.

But the result of that fear it's a form of corporate totalitarianism. You're free to choose your fate, but the options were dictated ahead of time by those in power, those with wealth. And all of the options will give them more power, more wealth.

The system exists today, sadly, in a form where those with wealth and power are also able to strongly influence culture, beliefs, society. And once you control those, you can control a democracy.
That analogy is too generic - it will apply to any action which has two distinct kinds of benefits. Pascal's wager has many issues which wont apply here. A:'This approach to programming improves memory safety', B:'Not interested', A:'It also makes code more modular/reusable', B:'Pascal's Wager!'

Also, if one is doing a cost benefit analysis - one has to include things like political instability caused by oil dependence(see Middle East politics), funding of extremist groups, and health benefits due to reduction of air pollution.
> This explains why the US has basically become a prison state and has roughly 4% of the world's population and 33%

That could also be attributed to strict drug laws. If we decriminalize drugs, that number will fall dramatically. It may not be as philosophical as "people are scared of [freedom]".
And that's the thing.. if they're getting cheaper every day, eventually they'll become the rational alternative.

I look forward to home solar and the supporting technology. The prices aren't quite there for me but I think they will be in the next five years.

In the meantime, I grew up being told "turn off the lights to save electricity!" and now with more efficient bulbs, power consumption is down about 80-90% to where energy for lighting is rounding error.
The most complicated watch ever made
You're criticizing the ACA. The AHCA is the current Republican proposal passed by the House.
That's all great in theory, but if I were you, I would not rely on that plan to save you. When it comes to insurance companies, you are at their mercy. This is experience talking here, do with it as you will. Nothing will bankrupt you faster than not having insurance coverage when you most need it.
The Optane available currently isn't in DIMM-format which is expected to give a further boost though.

Why do you think you'd be cluttering the issues section? I wouldn't let that (your) perception stop you. Just open the issue if you have something to say.
And, unfortunately, you've just demonstrated a common problem in economic and political discourse: that issues quickly descend into one dimensional, black & white, us vs. them absolutionism.

Not surprisingly this seems to occur most commonly where public education is underfunded or nonexistent: you end up with an undereducated electorate putting undereducated people into positions of leadership who then make underinformed decisions.

Sociological, economic, and political issues are multidimensional and must be treated as such.

TL;DR Education is important. Stop electing dumb people.

I don't understand why people still write javascript except legacy codebase maintenance although I respect everyone's freedom. Especially, sorry, React/Redux why? Yet, people are obsessed managing state on client (browser), that's the bad days of whatever framework including Elm. 90' Game developers would wonder too since they often prevent corrupt states from bad people was trying hard to mess (cheat) game states, thus source of truth and constraints must only live on server. States on front-end must be just something only for sake of displaying.

My understanding (which seems consistent with comments in the article) is that at that time, not telling the child was fairly standard medical practice, and thus would likely have been the doctors' recommendation to the parents. I've seen other stories in the past where parents of intersex children have said essentially, "We were so confused and in shock, we just went along with what the doctor said would be best." So yeah, all of the adults involved are culpable, but in a lot of cases it really was the medical experts driving the decision.
The fact that there were those too big to fail who got bailed out with people's money tells you that this freedom is fake. Free my ass. But you have to sell the dream to dumb masses.
I'm not cool with it no matter how many countries do it and the reason why is that it takes your very freedom right out of your own hands and puts it into the hands of bureaucrats. The US isn't perfect, and we have allowed oligarchs to run free and do terrible things to us, but the answer is not "more government"--we can't deal with the huge government we have now! So the argument "well, everyone else is doing it" overlooks how bad healthcare is around the world and how nations whitewash their mortality rates to hide the truth.
The shameless support posts by execs/founders at launch partners are slimy! You guys should be ashamed. This isn't your marketing site, it's for discussion.

Yes, it does, because it allows states to get waivers of that protection.
I agree fully! Apparently they stopped adding representatives when they filled up the space in the capital building. I've been intending for ages to pull up the ratio mandated by the constitution to see how many "missing" representatives we have today.

I'm sure there is some relationship between drug prohibition and violence, but the big difference in US incarceration rates is from the severity of sentencing for violent crime. There aren't all that many people imprisoned for straight up drug crimes.

Naive question: what if you just hack your prospect, without causing unrecoverable damages and show them you've hacked them, do they hire you?

EDIT: ok thats illegal but isnt it in the interest of the prospect to hire you more than seeing you in jail? Also, I was wondering if there were some loopholes or field practices one can use to hack for being hired? Something like: "I may have hacked you, do you wanna hire me?"

Just curious, because it seems to me every company should welcome that. I might be wrong.
Exactly! Like, you subscribe to Prime Video and Netflix, and still can’t watch even some Netflix shows, because Netflix licensed them exclusively to a TV channel that has no online offering and costs 60€/month. Or you can’t watch Amazon Prime because "you are using Linux with a multi-screen setup, please connect only one screen to watch this content in HD"

No thanks. Nowadays I pay for Amazon Prime, and if I can’t get something there, I just pirate. Simple as that. I don’t try to buy it anymore, I don’t even try to get it in another way. If you want my money, provide your content via Amazon Prime, or maybe Netflix (if they ever stop licensing out their own content exclusively to competitors)
When I finish a side project I check it off my to do list and then put it on my public portfolio. The process is very gratifying.
Because there are hundreds of studies, and everyone's better served by looking at what's out there for themselves. I could have linked to the Google search, but that would've been pretty condescending.
This is not a new thing, it has been known since before the 2000s, and was written extensively about by Fausto-Sterling in her book Sexing The Body. Doctors -- even today -- routinely withhold this information from intersex children, believing that it is for their own good. Unlike the article's suggestion, it is a widespread practice not limited to the UK.

A fun fact about the idea that you can ask for your medical records, is that the staff may redact any information they think would be harmful to you.
Does that mean you do plan to sunset it?
Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and let India and China "beta test" gene editing in humans. Once they iron out the horrific wrinkles, then we can adapt the technology.

You can claim that your "comprehensive fractional imperial unit helical matter extraction system" will turn me into a sexy master craftsman all you want, but as much as that's a better version of myself, it still doesn't tell me how you're going to help me drill that quarter-inch hole.

The most obvious example of this extreme is those drug ads with exuberant actors smiling in ecstasy and jumping in slow motion to an idyllic summertime setting. No, I'm not asking my doctor about Xymbaltrix™, and I probably don't want it in my search history either. Similarly, on the tech side, if my project on Platform X is stuck because of factor Y, I want to know what your product or consultants can actually do about it. Don't care if you call yourselves the world's leading Platform X Solutions Provider, spell out your capabilities please. Management, of course, eats up the "better versions of the themselves" talk, but if the goods aren't provided, our necks are on the line for not talking management out of it.
I think its a positive feedback loop. We criminalize blacks, which makes life "harder", which makes crime more attractive, which leads to more crime, which criminalizes blacks...

But there could be a chicken or the egg argument as to which step occurred first in the loop (crime vs criminalization), because blacks didn't make up such a large percentage of prisons until the last few decades.
> Very little should actually be a federal issue (read the enumerated powers of the United States in the Constitution!), and yet almost everything now is. As a result, every issue becomes winner-take-all: the entire country must comply with me, or the entire country must comply with you. There's no room to allow Massachusetts to go wrong and right in its ways, and to allow North Dakota to go wrong and right in its ways

Saying everything is this way is too much. More like, a few issues such as gay rights and abortion pissed off enough church-going folk to the point they began to rally against federal government overreach.

There are plenty of other things that are managed by states. You don't hear about many differences between state and federal because they aren't contentious. States and the fed are happy with plenty of state laws.
That's just a dumb tautology though.

This has proven true time and time again for myself. Steam, Spotify, Netflix, and Sling all lead to the elimination of me pirating media. And I'm a lot more inclined to spend money on the occasional game/album/movie/show that those services don't offer than I was before.

Speaking for myself, I'm often using pushd & popd precisely because I expect to potentially be moving around in the new directory too, and cd - will just take me to the previous dir. pushd & popd don't result in me having even a bit of stress about typing another cd command. Your mileage will vary.

That said, I don't disagree that cd - is a good introduction to the idea that there's more to the cd command than meets the eye. (I'm also a big fan of the CDPATH variable, despite its issues.)

It's a good question. A few ideas:

- The use of noncompetes in low- and even un-specialized roles has risen a lot. We're hearing about landscapers getting threatened over noncompetes as a way to keep wages low. This is a real change, but over the last ~decade so it doesn't explain the recent spike of articles.

- "Low unemployment, stagnant wages" articles are catching on, and noncompetes are a plausible factor in that.

- A few states have discussed banning noncompetes recently. Chicken and egg, but that would make it timely for news stories. Possibly a few politicians have emphasized this and offered to do interviews?

- Everyone is just borrowing the same story from everyone else.

We are not even at a place where we have seriously tried the low hanging options, like a major serious worldwide effort at building better energy technologies(there has been a lot of great work, but not great relative to what we can do), reducing tariffs on solar, giving cheap access to green technologies to poorer countries, or researching and publicizing mitigating steps which can reduce damage when natural disasters occur.

Also, there are plenty of costs for the default option which should be included in the analysis. These are severe especially for low lying countries with a big coastline. But even for other countries, public health suffers due to burning fossil fuels, and political instability in oil rich countries has a big effect on the world.
