I live in Dallas where everything is suburb outside of a very tiny urban core, and I absolutely love it here. I adore sprawl, and I want more of it. The only reason I'm even considering moving out of town this year is because the state legislature is becoming increasingly hostile to trans people (and being trans myself, this personally affects me), and even then I'm planning on moving to either SoCal or Vegas, both of which are full of sprawl.

And traffic isn't a problem if the city is designed right. The idea is that each suburb is an edge city with plenty of businesses. In Dallas, for example, it's not uncommon for people in an inner-ring suburb to commute to an exurb, and when people do commute farther inwards, it's typically people commuting from an exurb to an inner-ring suburb. The long commute form exurb to downtown doesn't happen that often here. Street layout helps, too: we have arterials on a grid system, and all arterials are six-lane divided highways. Freeways are placed at regular intervals on both the north-south and east-west axes to segment the city into bite-sized chunks (just go to Google Maps: Dallas looks like a sequoia because of the way the multiple loop roads are laid out). Five-layer stack interchanges are used to cut down on the bottlenecks in freeway interchanges.

Cities are antiquated, noisy, dirty, and crime-ridden. Suburbs are much more comfortable places to both live and work.

This actually seems like it would be pretty good for applications like games or playing random songs.
IMO, the end game of this sort of thing would be to, one day, have an app that can generate endless new music just for you, based on your taste.

> Has he written any code lately?

Why would that even matter? I find this attitude very puzzling and extremely worrying.

Of all the arbitrary metrics to decide whether to listen to and consider somebody's position "lines of code written" seems like an exceptionally poor choice.

I find your comment to be a good example of what is wrong in circles that like to consider themselves part of hacker culture.
You should always be learning something new. If this is what peaks your interest, do it. In a month come back and see if you want to make the switch professionally (assuming this is your day job). The worst that'll happen is you'll know something new.
IIRC YC does not invest in startup school companies at all (but invites them to apply for YC Core as they do any startup).
however the salaries are sooo much lower.

No its not. There is only Etherium with the fork. There is no version of Etherium that never forked. If we could peek into the multiverse and see a universe where Etherium wasn't forked, davidiach's wish could come true.
It still violates the optimistic premise of blockchain advocates that it helps us move to a world where trust is baked into the systems.

Have you see SageMath[0]?

That allows you to use Python inside a mathematical environment and it's amazing.

The same is true in the sense that they're actively helpful in 'hiding away' a large amount of complexity in relatively innocent-looking expressions, though Feynman diagrams are less of a tool of hiding information and more of a computational aide (e.g. it gives rise to a set of operations and a nice way of organizing them).

You could see this as an actively distinct concept (Feynman diagrams are graphs which give rise to some algebraic structure, whereas Dirac's notation is an algebra in itself) or you can see them both as just a means of abstracting away many operations (e.g. in Dirac's notation, this would be multiplication by operators and inner products, both of which are integrals in some sense, as just a non-commutative type of multiplication) in really powerful notation.
An odd base is better in the sense that it doesn't need the weird "round to even" and "round to odd" rounding modes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rounding#Round_half_to_even) to do unbiased computations when computing with fixed-width numbers.

That would mean 1/2 doesn't have a finite expansion, but why would it? Most numbers don't.
> First, the way these EHRs were rolled out, under federal mandate, was a fucking fiasco

Yes, it was a land grab sparked by ARRA stimulus money. As long as some of these rollouts took, I argue they didn't adequately capture the needs in healthcare environment. The healthcare process is very complex and many assumptions were made on the vendors in order to meet deadlines, leading to many hiccups in an already complex process.

> I'm a little tired of griping from physicians about having to do paperwork

Again, yes! There are plenty of physicians who consider anything remotely clerical as beneath their level and insulting to their position. Unfortunately, poor UX has only given them a louder voice. This results in abherations, eg. CPOE done by the physician logging in with his credentials then offloading to nurses or MAs for the actual entry.

> There needs to be (...) more use of EHRs that is driven by their utility, more competition among provider models, greater consumer access to drugs and healthcare options

Unfortunately the tendency is in the opposite direction, with massive consolidations. Big groups took the ACO model and realized they could just buy out the small practices and be one big group.

To your last point, its an interesting thought that in our supposedly free market healthcare, we have more clinical micromanagement by various bodies (JCHAO, AF4Q et al.) than some other countries with supposedly "socialist" healthcare.
This is probably a native question, but couldn't the ethical qualms be largely resolved by making labor voluntary (if it isn't already).

Very true. But what's interesting and non-obvious about the way the DOD defines "commercial" is that it doesn't depend on money exchange (or lack of money exchange) at all, and that's what that article by David Wheeler is trying to say.

The DOD defines software commerce as anything available to the public and used for any non-government purposes.

http://dodcio.defense.gov/Open-Source-Software-FAQ/#Q:_Is_op...

So to take your comment one step further, for some organizations, the definition of commercial also has nothing to do with whether you sell it or give it away for free, even though many people reasonably assume commerce==sales.

Please stop joking. The built-in interface to VCS is very basic, missing some 90% of Magit features. Its only redeeming feature is that it works with many different VCS, but that's also why it's so basic.
I will not use any OS that serves me ads and I have to pay for it. I will not use an OS that spies on me. I will not use any OS that is not open source so I can see what it is today should I need/want to (and I will gladly investigate it for others if you can convince me... $).

I really don't know why people like windows beyond having their applications (That really is enough). It is limited, the tools they make are clearly more for checking off boxed on some marketing list somewhere because they rarely work right and often limited in their core performance. Even their tools like their expensive compiler and database does work as well for my worklaods as their free and open source counterparts.

It wasn't that long ago we saw the remotely exploitable flaw in Windows Defender that allowed arbitrary execution of code in a security product! Or more innocuous but no less annoying, the guy with the umpteen core ryzen getting blocked by some random mutex deep inside windows so his build was being throttled and he couldn't use his own CPU the way he wanted. It buggy, its lower quality, but they succeeded in having many make their software for it exclusively so it is

Then we can start talking about the ethical issues with it, like giving money to a monopoly that has tried to bribe standardization bodies and has been convicted several times of anticompetitive practices.
Yes, I saw those remarks, which is how I inferred this was the photo in question. But I still see no statement nor caption clearly saying "THIS photo RIGHT HERE is the photo we are talking about."

That may seem pedantic to you, but I have had a couple of law classes and I worked in insurance for over 5 years. Those are environments in which such distinctions matter.

I am inferring that it is the photo and you apparently agree that it is, but I still don't believe there is a clear and unequivocal statement in the article to that effect.

That's too bad.

The various majority of comments on HN are negative but they are also deeply ignorant. It's easy to dismiss blockchain technology because it's hard to understand. It takes a while for this stuff to come in and it requires careful and deep understanding of computer science, economics, and distributed systems.

Here's the thing: if you're interested in distributed systems you should understand the blockchain. Regardless of any profit potential, regardless of much of nonsense you'll read here, and regardless of the economic foundations (the most trenchant criticism comes from economics [1]) -- it is a very innovative and powerful new way to do distributed computing. Best of all it is virtually all open-source which means deep understanding is possible by diving into the source code. It's a rich area and it'd be silly to dismiss it completely because of the fluff posted here.

Anything is possible, but it gets much harder once the money is in circulation. If the hacker has time to buy socks & soap with the stolen funds, and convert some of it to USD on an exchange - then the soap merchant and exchange will not want their wallets "corrected".

Sorting out who should get their money returned and who gets to keep it would be infeasible.

That's because code has documented and testable semantics whereas mathematical notation is more by convention than anything. It's in between natural language and code in terms of ambiguity, but is sufficiently flexible and clear to practitioners that it remains the best way to communicate to other practitioners.

Why would it be sarcastic? The triple bar is also the operator for logical equivalence, which I guess is where the font authors got it.
It's even worse in some circumstances.

My GP migrated to a pretty good EHR in 2007 as an efficiency measure when he was a partner in a ~<10 doctor practice. That was awesome because it reduced friction and improved continuity if you had to see a NP or another doctor. That solution wasn't fully Medicare compliant, so they moved to another system that definately sucked, but wasn't much different from a patient perspective.

Now they got gobbled up by some mushrooming health network centered on one of the hospitals. They just migrated them to yet another EHR that is cloud hosted (Athena?) -- except they forgot about the "R" part of EHR. They literally migrated nothing and the medical staff needs to re-enter all information from billing to health history. It's just irresponsible as people don't necessarily remember all of their health history.

You can't even leave as like 75% of GPs near me are in this network and affected by the same thing. The other network in the area concentrates on a different geographic region.
Really like this idea, a wizard to get all your preferences on setup that preconfigures defaults. Expand it to programming toolsets or whatever your primary use is and have a way to save and share it between different linux versions or even OS's a la dotfiles.

Yea, I agree that, in addition to computational speed, the Leibniz gives some reasonable intuition for some formulas. However, it can also give bad intuition in a multi-variate setting, e.g., dxdyx/dzdw.

A good self-check is to see if you can convert from Leibniz notation to a more rigorous one at any given step in the computation and understand that step rigorously. Personally, I find that functional notation (using D as an operator on the space of functions, etc.) to be as simple to use and much more likely to alert me when I'm about to confuse myself.

>I think it makes quite a bit of sense if you're at all interested in having children and staying home with them for any amount of years to worry about the income of your partner.

Sure it does, but these days very few women stay home for that long (out of women with well-paying careers). Also, more importantly, there's nothing stopping women with high-paying careers from marrying lesser-earning men and letting them stay at home with the kids, but as these statistics clearly show, women are simply not doing that: they're demanding partners who make at least as much as they do. (And they seem to be failing at finding such partners, and are then just staying single, and frequently (in my observation) going to a sperm clinic and getting artificially inseminated and intentionally becoming single mothers and hiring nannies to raise their kids.)

>Personally, I know I've prioritized dating men who are willing to stay home themselves since I don't like the idea of being a stay-at-home mom.

That's great, but you seem to be a rare exception. Very few women seem to be thinking that rationally, as shown by these statistics.

My criticism was meant to be valid irrespective of the actual accusations quality. The concern would still stand for the accusation of more serious crimes like rape, murder, genocide, etc.

Being inspired to skip the trial and personally decide to put somebody in the pillory is an understandable, but deeply flawed motivation.

The author can, of course, make every accusation. The publication however should not make the crime appear to be a secured fact. Breaching the journalistic objectivity might be a current trend but is intellectually dishonest and no service to the cause.

This looks more like vigilantism than a serious conversation.
