I understand you are being sarcastic, but this is how both single payer systems and private insurance market places work. The only difference is, in one system people are elected to determine how the central pool of money is collected and distributed and in the other decisions are driven by shareholders.
Yes, I agree with your first point, but there are plenty of other ways they could survive 2 weeks worth of combing. Like the eggs could be smaller than the average hair and could last longer. Or, they could go into the scalp for extended periods of time. There are ways it could happen.

No, I'm not confusing anything. What they're putting into growth are undeclared profits, that's a simple fact. When a business subtracts the cost of doing business from revenue, the remainder is profit, regardless of whether that profit is declared as such or whether it's put back into the business to grow it and thus avoid taxation. They could not "grow" if there weren't any profit left over after costs, just because you don't declare taxable profit doesn't mean you didn't have profits.

Blue and Flathead catfish despite being native to a good portion of the United States are considered invasive in some places (parts of Florida as well as further north in the Chesapeake Bay) where they have been illegally introduced.

There are also some tropical catfish that made it into Southern Florida that are also considered invasive.

That said, I really don't get what the author meant either.
Most of the healthcare costs come from lifestyle choices of smoking, overeating and lack of exercise, alcohol and drug abuse, guns. Other costs are from air pollution (asthma) and depression.

Interestingly, people complain when CDC tries to implement public health programs that help to reduce unhealthy lifestyle choices (some call it nanny-state). But you can't complain about high healthcare costs and then not support the public health efforts meant to prevent it.

Specifically, to lower health care costs from tobacco use, tax tobacco (which has over half the effect to get people to quit), ban smoking in public places, spend $1 or $2 per capita for hard-hitting, scary anti-smoking ads. Yet, the Federal Govt. has a roughly $1 tobacco tax. Many states have very low tobacco taxes.

Mastodon is a really great piece of software, at least from the point of view from a user like me, and I really wish more people would use it. There's so much content out there, so many things to reply to and see, from different corners of the fediverse.
I tend to land on that position. But when I'm at the very bottom of the mud and I found the spot, I rarely rewrite a piece to make it in-your-face-clear. Sometimes I do, but more often than not I just edit few characters that are wrong.

I can remember at least one case (probably had few more, just don't remember them) when, to fix a bug, I changed just one character, after few hours of reading and understanding all the bad ideas people before me implemented there, first seeing them as complete nonsense and gradually realizing, that what they wrote does what was intended, almost.

It kind of feels good for me. I hate building though, because I'm painfully aware, how stuff looks once it's built. It's never good.

"but if a police officer completes all his training correctly and tries his hardest to make the right decision in that pivotal moment, but makes a mistake and shoots when he shouldn't, then he's sentenced to life in prison if he is held to the same standard as a civilian"

But that's the problem! The civilian shouldn't be going to jail, either, should they?

That is, I don't think the standard for prosecution for killing someone should be different for civilians and police.

Some would fix the problem by giving the police special immunity; I'd fix it by changing self defence laws for everyone.

Or perhaps, to put it another way, under what situation could you imagine yourself as a juror convicting a civilian of murder, but acquitting a police officer who acted identically?
but not one side effect!
In my recent project I decided to not follow the best practices, but focus on getting things done. As a result, I have a almost finished, working project, and got lots of satisfaction - just enough to power through the refactoring.
Have I stuck to the "best practices" or tried to explore a cutting edge project, I would have probably given up by now.

Anyways, now I should bring out the Raspberry Pi and get it to do something, without overthinking it.

The problem is white collar crime is often extremely amorphous. White collar crime is largely things that are perfectly legal to do unless you do them in certain ways or have certain knowledge or intent while doing them.

A great example is the HSBC money laundering case. Go actually read the DOJ statement of facts in that case. As a preliminary matter, every large bank is used for money laundering. And bank executives all know, in the abstract, that their banks are used for money laundering. That's not illegal--it'd be impossible to have a bank that wasn't used for money laundering. The gist of the case was that HSBC failed to classify Mexico as a higher risk country and implement appropriate controls despite warnings from non-binding authorities about the risk of money laundering in Mexico. Who should go to prison for that?

What the article is purporting is a bit mis-leading. According to the redacted opinion released by EFF's FOIA lawsuit - the context of the law is irrelevant to its interpretation in this specific circumstance.

And that's the problem of managing a public company, share holders care about the wrong thing; they've confused the tail with the dog which is what leads public companies to do stupid shit that hurts the business long term to pump up the share price short term. Look, I don't need you to explain how companies work, I'm fully aware, you don't seem to realize I'm critiquing how they work, I'm not lacking in understanding, I'm simply pointing out how the incentives are perverse and lead to companies doing the wrong thing.

People were convinced Trump was going to turn the US into an authoritarian/fascist state well before he even proposed any actual practical policies. They continue to despite the fact he has failed to pass any meaningful legislation beyond congress/courts months after getting into office. With the exception of dropping out of the largely non-binding Paris accord.

Sadly I doubt this will be dependent on what he actually does vs other politicians. It's entirely about perception.

This Russia congressional hearing is getting 10x the amount of coverage than the CIA torture hearing - if that's any indication of perception vs national priorities.

The blatant criminality and anti-American behaviour by the CIA and the executive branch was far more obvious in that case going into the hearing. They openly destroyed 92 videos tapes of interrogations at a black site which would have provided direct evidence of abuse [1] which not a single person got punished for.

Yet Jeff Session refusing to answer a few questions about private conversations with Trump got more scrutiny than the CIA did when they refused to release a 10,000 page report on their torture practices, using the same legal basis as Sessions did citing executive privilege during Obama's administration.

I don't personally hunt but have family and friends that do. They all understand licenses, seasons, and that the rules exist to ensure sustainable populations. None are trophy hunters - they have a butcher prepare the meat and a tanner make objects from the skins.

It is possible to respect an animal and engage in conservation efforts while being a hunter. Many human societies have had forms of this, even having thankfulness rituals where they praise the spirit of the animal.
"the U.S. isn't going to lose to any foreign power"

I think what you're saying is that the US isn't going to be successfully invaded by any foreign power. Losing a war is a very different thing (and indeed, the US has lost more than one war that didn't involve being invaded).

Are you serious?!?!

Oh shit, that's... I've been grossly misformed for a very long time.

The short answer is "no". The ability to reach out and blow up things selectively anywhere in the world is a very serious power. That's what an aircraft carrier gives you. The number of powers in the world who can reach back and destroy a carrier plus defensive escorts can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Possibly less than that.
And yet, as a percentage of GDP, we're not that out of line. Maybe 50% more than the average developed country, but about 30% less than Russia, and 40% less than the U.S. spent in 1988 when Reagan was president.

Think of the military as the backdoor way to get basic science & technology research funded in the U.S. The American public isn't willing to directly fund basic research, but if you frame it as "We're defending you from evil threats out there", you can pay for things like computers, the Internet, GPS, rocketry, satellites, carbon fiber composites, robotics, the colonization of Mars, etc.
This attitude makes sense to me, given the revealed preferences of the electorate. They exert a lot of political pressure per US soldier combat death, and very little per wasted dollar of military R&D and equipment purchasing waste.

Flip the incentives around, where war material is politically expensive and combat casualties are cheap, and you wind up with something much closer to what the Soviets did.
And a mere 2% the cost of the USS Gerald Ford (which would probably be destroyed within 24 hours of active war with China)
Hmm, is all you need is a pink-tinged blog post on long term climate goals to PR your way into convincing the world you aren't harming it?? It's pretty obvious that the current so-called "ridesharing" product is increasing CO2 emissions. But good on you Lyft for embracing that good-guy-stance. Keep it up
Yes, sorry, I meant that you answered your own question when you said that.
You need to change the signup process as at present it's needlessly complicated. Until you add more courses remove the search, institutions and subject and just let people click on the currently available choices. Try and build a community on those two courses, then expand to other computer science courses, then branch out. You only have two options, offer them and only them.

If we don't change the culture in Silicon Valley soon, these "invasive catfish" are going to hold the rest of us back, like Who Killed the Electric Car https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRnUY6V2Knk .

Airport not on 'Vault 7' list of gear susceptible to factory firmware hack
The reason I rejected PG's JSON store, was it's inability to update fields inside of a JSON doc, without replacing the whole document. In your case, does this constraint push you to use more types of smaller documents, or do you just read the whole doc, update it in the application, and then write it back to the DB?

Have you ever had an issue with conflicts, where multiple instances of the app read, modify and write different things to the same document at the same time?
Tensorflow 1.2 Released
Sure, but usually we "lose" because we shouldn't have been in there in the first place and then the public eventually realizes that. The consequences of our losses in Vietnam and Iraq were basically that we stopped spending billions of dollars and thousands of lives on wars that the average American saw zero benefit from. It wasn't that we had to live under foreign occupation, have all of our houses & industry bombed out, face down the barrel of a gun, and kowtow to imperialist oppressors.
surely there's some tension between these two extremes. for someone learning how to _use_ FFT's, treating them as a black box for a while is useful so they can build some intuition etc and then, if it floats their boat, go back and dive deeper. as a chemist, I didn't give a rat's how the thing worked, I had spectra to analyse...

Conversely, if you had to deep dive everything, you would not get _anything_ done since there's always a deeper level.

Maybe it's just an experience thing where you start to appreciate that for most things (probably all bar one or two) you are just the privileged user of other people's expertise.
What about ridesharing is "obviously" increasing emissions? I don't dispute the fact, but what evidence is this based on?
The thing is Tensorflow is racking up stars on Github 5x to CNTK. It has all the momentum and hard to see MS able to slow it down.
Maybe I am weird but I like doing stuff like that. I am more of an optimizer than from-scratch-creator so I like having a starting point. Then you just refactor your way through the system while adding new stuff and fixing bugs. I also like debugging and profiling :-(.

Once you know the Snap UI it works very well. Kind of like a DSLR camera, it takes forever to learn all those buttons and functions and become habitual with them, but once you know how to find all the functions and operate the camera properly it's apparent that everything has been beautifully placed and carefully thought about. An easy to learn UI isn't necessarily the most efficient or versatile to use.

Old people wonder 'WTF is this Snapchat?', they download the app, dick around with it for a few minutes and dismiss it as incomprehensible. It's a feature, not a bug.
I find that I reach for metaprogramming for two reasons.

First reason: I have been programmed into a corner. This needs to be tomorrow and a rewrite is out of the question and normally refactorings simply can't get the job done. I need to add methods at runtime or some equally nightmarish hack or the data won't be were is needs to be. I have done some like this twice both in Ruby, about has many times as I ever hope to need longjmp in my native language C++.

The other reason I reach for metaprogramming, is performance. In C++ template metaprograms used to be the only way to have what were easily calculable valuables baked into the final binary. Now there is constexper, which is still sort of black magic and many don't understand it at all. Either way being able to replace runtime code with a thing that looks like a function but actually resolves to a constant can solves certain categories of problems.
> I can teach you to play chess without teaching a single chess-specific term. Yes, other players will laugh at you when you call the pawns "smurfs", but when you understand how to handle your smurf-army

But that doesn't remove the terminology, it only changes it. You can understand chess equally well in English, French, or Lebanese, because the syntax isn't as important as the semantics. You can't teach me chess without talking about the idea of a "piece", no matter what you end up calling it. There has to be some common groundwork.

>Billions of people know what a telephone does and how to use one without understanding τῆλε ("tele-", distant) and φωνή ("phone", voice, talk, language). They all get the concept and nobody would argue that they need to understand the terminology as well.

The etymology of words tends to have no bearing on understanding them technically. To me, that's a non-comparison.

What's really meant is more that plenty of people use a telephone without a comprehensive understanding of EM radiation. That doesn't mean they can't use their phones, it just means if you explain EM radiation to them in terms of phones, they probably aren't going to come away understanding it any better.
Problem is that moving from and to the arrow keys to navigate is an anti-pattern that is not present in at least vim where you can stay on home row at all times, which is why I dread having to write in editors that don't support a vim mode.
It's a badly built selfie app, there's literally nothing powerful about it.

When I say badly built I refer to how slow it runs, how much battery it consumes (hint, a lot), the fact that until recently when Google literally forced them to do it properly, the app took pictures by saving a screenshot of the viewfinder.
You say that like it's a bad thing, but that's what a static language is - types are checked at compile time and, hopefully, forgotten about at runtime.
>You still get a visa to enter Taiwan. It's just a "visa on arrival" as opposed to needing to obtain a visa prior to travel.

Sure -- 'doesn't require me to get a visa' as in I don't have to make a trip to an embassy or pay a fee.

I'm sure I'll visit China eventually, but for the sort of low-budget travelling I'm doing, an entry visa represents a not-insignificant amount of the total cost. It also makes things less flexible: as I understand, authorities must be notified of exact travel plans before you depart.
While the full root cause has not yet been found or resolved the limited issues have been pretty reliably resolved by disabling ASLR. Whatever the root cause it is likely the issue can be fixed through BIOS/microcode updates.

The number of people affected are low. My Ryzen machine has only ever run linux and compiles a lot and has never exhibited this behavior. Also, most new platforms have issues, even new server platforms. These will be worked through during substantial validation server OEMs will go through.

Lastly, look up the errata list for any Xeon CPUs. Intel releases microcode updates for them several times a year to fix bugs. Modern CPUs are complex and will pretty much always have bugs. Luckily some combination of BIOS or microcode updates will almost always resolve them.
It's an HP server, I don't know if they make those any more. I can look up the model number if you want, I'm sure I have the invoice somewhere.
I agree, pasted from a comment I made in a thread on a Western Union wire fraud case earlier this year:

"those who may be unfamiliar: look into the passing of the USA P.A.T.R.I.O.T Act passed shortly after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, a bill of over 2000 pages which was rushed through congress in span of a few days from finalization to ratification under the prosumtion of necessity to provide the tools to combat terrorism. It stripped away many powers of the judicial branch to provide oversight, and provisions intended to be 'temporary' have been continually extended by presidents (executive branch) on both sides of the aisle since."
Which conspiracy theories do you mean?

I think HN is deeply suspicious of CIA, NSA, Putin, and a few other state actors. While some of the theories about those organizations may seem like crazy conspiracies, we have so many examples of completely bat-shit insane real crimes by them that almost anything seems possible. Putin and the CIA, in particular, have done some truly egregious, horrific things. They seem capable of anything.

I'd be interested to know what other theories you're seeing, because outside of those, HN seems very reasonable and conspiracy-free.
Note that I didn't mention anything about it being automatic. It's merely a case of being more explicit about what may happen to the value.

Sequential consistency is irrelevant to the example I gave of a single valued struct. I wasn't talking about any ordering with respect other loads/stores.
