> Most (if not all) insurance plans have a maximum out-of-pocket expense amount that's like $10k

It's more like $6800 for 2016 and $7100 for 2017. That's the federally-mandated cap; many private plans set their cap even lower.

I agree with all your criticisms, except I'm a bit confused about #3. Are you saying you're using Make with multi-threaded build actions?

As far as I know, most compilers are single-threaded, so this isn't much of an issue in practice. But I'm curious where you've encountered this problem.
> However the various administrations since then have spent significant resources and time going in different (and sometime opposite) directions, and not always in a blunder-safe way.

Yeah, because there are different factions within the party that sometimes have conflicting goals or ideas. It's not as unified as outsiders think it is. I agree that they aren't always scary competent. The whole Bo Xilai scandal was a huge black eye that they didn't see coming, for instance.

> The example I have in mind is the declaration last month by the foreign affairs ministry that the Hong Kong "Joint Declaration" is not binding any more for China.

What? I didn't hear about this at all. That does seem pretty crazy. Do you have a link to a news article?

> After all there are other countries (Japan, Russia, France...) where English has a low penetration rate

Don't know about Russia or France, but Japan still teaches English in schools. Japan and China probably have a similar "penetration rate" for English. They do lots of business done with English speaking countries but the average man on the street is by no means fluent. I suspect the same is true of France. If domestic consumer demand increases, China might be able to get away with it, but the export economy is so big, I can't see them making that choice.
I think it may be a bit premature.

Just look at what people are doing with RPis and various radio boards.

There was one such project posted on HN recently that had a RPi Zero W hooked up to a touch screen and a mobile radio. All battery powered.

In a sense the Openmoko was too early and too bespoke. Thus driving the cost of entry for would be tinkerers through the roof.
Very similar story, in the US as well. Went in, had a couple of tests that ruled out anything serious and was on my way in ~1.5 hours including all of the various wait times. Saw one doctor for maybe 1 minute and had a couple of nurses spend about 10 minutes with me total during the various tests.

Insurance was billed ~10k, with coinsurance I had to pay $1,400. This is after the hospital billing in multiple rounds and forgetting to bill insurance on one of them and also forgetting to send the bill to me (which if I hadn't been proactive about following up with would have led to it getting sent over to collections).

I'm assuming I have better health insurance than a decent percentage of the population and I can afford the bill but how the hell can most people? What a terrible, terrible choice for someone to have to make between getting care when they're at their most desperate and avoiding financial ruin

The article starts with:
> With GraphQL, the client speaks a request language which: 1) eliminates the need for the server to hardcode the shape or size of the data

And then ends with:
> There are some mitigations we can do here. We can do cost analysis on the query in advance and enforce some kind of limits on the amount of data one can consume.

... so basically you did nothing in the way of perf but add complexity.
There is a lot of FUD from the GraphQL side of this debate, and even overlapping goals with REST. From the article:

>With GraphQL, the client speaks a request language which decouples clients from servers. This means we can maintain and improve clients separately from servers.

This is actually how the web works right now. Browsers (clients) evolve independently from web pages (servers). Even the author of REST said it is "intended to promote software longevity and independent evolution". Standards are governed by standards bodies such as IETF, IANA, W3C, WHATWG, etc., not a single corporation like Facebook.

I think only time will tell if this is just another fad that took off but didn't age well, like SOAP.
Ask HN: How do you stay up to date on advances in the cryptocurrencies space?
It's possible you're right. Without knowing the details of the relationship, you never know.

The reason I say that is the article points out another glaring issue - the shortage of ER docs that we are currently facing. I know this first-hand, as I have a family member who is one and is working harder than ever.

Some of these arrangements are to make up for the shortage, and the hospital systems and physician groups are often working in partnership... so it could be there was benefit for both since the hospital system needed coverage for their ER (due to physician shortages), and Emcare is providing the physicians. Without the physicians doing the services in the hospital, there would be no facility claim either...
Think of a doctor as being an specialist independent contractor affiliated with the primary business.

Imagine if you would, a small hospital. They probably don't see enough patients with diagnosis X to keep staff specialized for X busy year round. There is a doctor in town that specializes in X. This doctor needs a place to get their patients stabilized and where the doctor can see the patients periodically. When one of the patients needs hospitalization, the doctor can write an admission order telling the hospital to take care of a patient in a certain way. When somebody comes into the ER and the generalist/hospitalist discovers that person has condition X, then the hospital knows they can call on the doctor to consult with them on how to treat X.

A historical artifact of the hospital/physician relationship is that there are separate billing streams for each side. There is just enough information sharing so that the doctor's billing system knows who the patient is and it is up to the doctor to claim that certain actions were performed for a valid medical reason and documented.

The current state ranges from very arms length relationships to total economic integration, which is rare enough to have a term for it, Single Billing Office.

Let's say you live in NYC but you're using a DNS server (resolver) in Seattle. When your client performs a DNS query, you may get a response that directs you to a server/CDN/whatever in or near Seattle as opposed to one closer to you in NYC. Then, the data (streaming video) is traversing the country to get to you, passing through many more (potentially congested) interconnects/links on the way.

Reality is a bit more complicated than this simple example but such an issue is certainly not unheard of (and inspired mitigations such as RFC7871, for example).

It's hard to argue real inflation is low when housing is up 10% to 20% every year, health care goes up 15% a year, college tuition goes up 10% every year, etc. I suppose the cost of a flat screen TV is down or flat yoy though.

It's also hard to tell the average person that they not losing more of their purchasing power every year is a problem.

It's dangerous to push anonymity as a benefit of the current implementations: if you make a mistake or traffic analysis links you to any transaction, every transaction you've ever made is de-anonymized. That's a far worse failure mode than cash and it'll take more than a tumbler to fix to the point of confidence.
Right. Raising their pay wouldn't even help. Oh, it would help them but whatever place they manage to move into with their improved cash flow would displace someone else. Then those displaced people would have a sob story until they get their pay raised, and displace someone...

The real problem is the lack of housing for the number of people that want to live there.

A few good skyscraper high density developments would fix it better than pay increases.
I think it is a holdover from the early Mac days, where a large part of the base OS was in ROM.

The deleted word 'an' from the title (currently "VPN crackdown 'unthinkable' trial by firewall for China's research world"; in the article, "VPN crackdown an 'unthinkable' trial by firewall for China's research world") made it a real garden-path sentence for me—I initially read it as "VPN crackdown 'unthinkable'", and struggled to parse the rest separately.

Ask HN: How much did you pay for UX design and what was the deliverable?
Google pays for their own network services. Whomever google pays for network services pays pays if applicable to connect to Verizon's network.

The sole and only thing they are being paid for on the ISP side of Verizon's operation is to quickly and reliably deliver the content people want to consume over the pipe people have paid to have installed.

YouTube by hosting content people want to consume is driving demand for Verizon's services.

Pretending that this is a cost is a bazaar inversion of reality.
I learned about these independent groups during a jury stint on a medical malpractice trial.

The best possible business apps, including the Thyssenkrupp promo, revolved around conferencing with people in real time in an augmented reality space. Someone can help you while viewing what you're seeing, and interact with you using holograms, files from your OneDrive, and of course video chat. The Skype demo is by far the best implementation I've seen of this, and it's designed really well imo. The other user does have to download a skype plugin, but then they are able to interact with your space.

I've yet to test it with two devices, but there's a lot of shared experience functionality in the HoloToolkit.

The article shows that this issue affects people with insurance.

It's not that the patients don't have insurance, it's not even that they go to a hospital without an agreement in place with their insurer - it's that the ER has a number of people outside that insurance contract, you don't know who they are, you don't get to choose whether they treat you, you just get a bill at the end - despite being insured, and choosing a hospital recognised by your insurer.

Insurance is not the solution for this problem.

I totally agree that putting proprietary integrations into open source packages is shady. However, I don't think that the Minimap "kite promotion" [0] went so far as too actually upload code to Kite's cloud platform.

Just updated my personal info. So should be there.
I think there are "bad" guys. I've pointed out to a doctor that their agreement said that I would agree to pay any charge they decided to bill me for. I pointed out that I was in their office because they were in network for my insurance and that I couldn't agree to pay literally anything they decided to bill. So, I asked them to tell me what the maximum they might bill would be. And, they kicked me out of the office.

So, yes, if you refuse to be transparent in your billing and you extort money from your patients by refusing them treatment unless they agree to pay literally anything for service, you are a "bad" person.

The 2nd airbag can be disabled in the event small children are riding in rear facing car seats. This prevents the airbag from opening and killing the child by smashing him/her into the passenger seat.
