There is also this thing called game theory and prisoner's dilemma which pretty much guarantees that the silicon valley version is limited to "make me feel good doing my part" instead of being an actual solution to universal health care.

My initial thought was that someone had tried to reinvent insurance, but this is not even that. Just charity destined to fail being a proper solution.
There's a clue in the name - accident and emergency - that these departments handle urgent but non life threatening care too.

Really, it's a fucking stupid question. Of course Europe's socialised medicine will treat broken arms.

If the question is about the time taken to treat these problems: England is going to through a bit of a scandal at the moment about missed waiting time limits in A&E departments.

The maximum time from arriving at A&E through to either being treated and discharged, or admitted into the hospital for further treatment, is 4 hours. And that time limit must happen for 95% of patients.

And we're currently worried because at the moment it's over 90% (but less than 95%) of patients get treated and discharged or admitted to hospital within 4 hours.

We have the advantage of free or low cost primary care, so most people don't need to leave minor problems to fester until it's turned into a severe problem.

A feel like I'm hearing the middle of a conversatoin

The language used to describe this program seems to land it in the US' medical system debate. EG enrolling in health coverage. A lot of the comments here are focusing on that debate.

I imagine the situation is different enough (industry, patients, funding, etc.) to make the comparison something of an analogy.

In any case, I'd like to hear a bit more about watsi's role and goals. Is this a medical insurance/bureaucracy infrastructure governments can adopt? An alternative way to raise/use donor aid, funding insurance instead of clinics? Are "crowdfunding" and "coverage" separate initiatives?
I think it is safe to say that this is because it is something the party can't control (in the somewhat more overt sense rather than the regulatory sense).
It probably has a lot more to do with the country regulating its own fiat currency, foreign change and savings quite aggressively. That made any previously unregulated (because new) alternative the _de facto_ change mechanism.
Big question is if you even want to sign a contract if it's written in an obviously aggressive way. In my experience reasonable clients usually use reasonable contracts. If company insists on using a contract that is all in their favor, without giving a very good reason for that, that can be a sign that you'll run into many other problems with them in future (bad communication, hostile treatment, getting dragged into office politics, their own organizational problems that managers will try to blame you for, etc.)
Yes, indeed. I thought it was already recovering :p
Just use SVG/CSS with JavaScript events, that is the approach for the new FitBit SDK.

A free, teacher-less university in France is schooling future-proof programmers
I think you've got a good point there. A lot of people feel like they want to change, like they need to be a certain person, do certain things, but what they don't realize is that they don't understand themselves well enough. I had a revelation with coming to terms with being introverted and (probably) a touch of autism (undiagnosed, doesn't really matter tbf - what matters more is understanding the symptoms and personality traits). Once you understand those, and realize that's you, you'll start accepting yourself more, and while you won't be a hipster rockstar just yet, you'll be at peace with it more.

Gentle Intro to Python Webscraping (2017) [video]
I get that too sometimes. Watching woodworking videos on youtube is very satisfying. Not something I'd do myself quickly (I'm comfortable with the money I'm making at the moment), but I can imagine it's a very soothing line of work. The videos are often very quiet and focused too, much like software development in the zone - and unlike software developers, artisans are generally left alone with their craft and how they want to work is respected more.
Read the headline and thought the same first sentence. It's about dang time. Flat UI was an 80s thing because that's all we had. Put shadows and highlights on your frickin' buttons! Just because everyone went a little (or a lot) overboard with skeuomorphism doesn't mean that it's cool to just put a grey-on-darker-grey " " by a thing and expect everyone to know where the tap target area for that is. It's almost as bad as apps where you have to "pull out" from one side to get at other functionality with no indicators that this is a thing.

Sunni vs. Shia: the roots of Islam’s civil war
Hell is D8. I mean, it sure is amazing when things work but when they don't, the rabbit hole goes so deep you can't even imagine.
I am not going to argue if it's good or bad (in case of public schools), I am just pointing out a connection between a publically funded service and the ability of the government to make it compulsory.

If there had not been publically funded schools it would be much harder or impossible to make compulsory attendance laws. As there is no public healthcare now it's very hard or impossible to make compulsory medical procedures laws. If health care becomes public - the sky is the limit.
> There is something of a culture in Python of not being overly clever, which keeps this stuff in check. (Contrast Ruby, which offers equally powerful language facilities without the cultural norm of not using them for crazy things.)

Have you seen namedtuple? It's part of the stdlib… and metaclasses are designed for devs to do wildly unpredictable actions when creating instances (not to mention python's OO layer is basically a clever hack).
Wanting to do something vs doing something else are two different things. I want to be rich but I'd rather watch TV.

I think accepting that you enjoy watching TV or other passive means of entertainment is more important than beating yourself up over not doing something more productive.

China’s high-speed trains are back on track
In the UK there is the distinction between 999 (emergency services) and 111 for "urgent but not life threatening". 111 is staffed by nurses trained to triage and will escalate if necessary and get you an ambulance.

Similarly there tends to be walkin clinics if you don't think you can wait for your GP, but don't think it's something you should go to A&E/ER for. Most of them will not be equipped to handle surgery of any kind, but whatever decisions they do as part of triage will certainly be passed on if they believe you need to be sent to hospital.

I think the big difference is that in most European countries the default is to triage everywhere, unless you pay extra to go private, while Americans seem to be more used to triage being somehow mostly restricted to emergencies.

Triage sucks when you have a minor problem and want quick attention without paying extra for private care, but it's quite great when you have an urgent problem and don't have to wait behind people with much less pressing needs.
I'm surprised time and time again by the removal of causal ordering from quantum mechanics. It seems to be throwing away so much.
A lot of people here are disagreeing on the basis that new language learners want to make something cool quickly. I agree, I've certainly taken the path of trying to teach fundamentals to people who very quickly lose interest.

However, while absolute beginners do need a hook, there's a transition phase that isn't filled: it comes between being able to copy paste SO answers together effectively enough to build a functional product, and actually understanding how that application works.

Coming from a JS background, I'd say a close equivalent in the past was frontend devs (gainfully employed as such) who didn't know any javascript; they just knew jQuery. I'm not sure how that's changed today, but I'm guessing the node package ecosystem breeds similar results.

I'm no beginner when it comes to programming, but my exposure to Python has been relatively limited up until recently, and as I'm now quite suddenly running some django installs, and trying to work backwards from learning django initially to properly grokking actual python, these are the kind of dedicated resources I can see being of value.
Two Sexy Friends Have a Wild Prank War
It's all fine when your startup is not making any money, but when millions of dollars starts to roll in things can get ugly. So always make sure you have the vesting worked out beforehand, and put it on a paper and have everyone sign it.
I hold many assets in this space including ETH and NEO. There are tons of scams and money grabs with ICOs. While this announcement has been pretty brutal for me, I think it is ultimately a good thing for the industry as a whole.

I think ICOs can be extremely beneficial for teams to raise money. But a lot of people buying these tokens do not understand what they're getting in return. I'd like to see it become easier to actually own equity or a % of a company's revenue by holding tokens. Hopefully these future regulations will build trust in the ecosystem by minimizing scams and providing clarity. More trust yields more people converting fiat -> crypto... which should yield a healthier less volatile ecosystem.

It would be interesting to see a comparison with Soviet weapons. The only one mentioned is the Tsar Bomba which had a maximum yield of 100Mt (the one the Soviets actually tested was detuned to 50Mt and still burned a hole in the Ozone layer) and clocked in at around 27'000kg.
It does not have to be, but it should gracefully degrade. Color should help but the outline/lightness should be sufficient.
Do you need a prescription for Ibuprofen in Spain? Strange. In Germany, go to the drugstore and buy it yourself. € 10 for 100 400mg pills. And if you are ill, usually you go to a doctor near you. Only in real emergencies, go to the hospital.
> Really, it's a fucking stupid question. Of course Europe's socialised medicine will treat broken arms.

Seriously, WTF? Where did I ever say broken arms don't get treated? Are you seeing a dumb American in my post because that's what you want to see?

The only thing I even wonder is where the appropriate place to go to get it treated would be. In the US, you can go to an emergency department or an urgent care facility. The urgent care facility is the most appropriate place: you will get seen promptly and they are equipped to handle it, and it will cost less than an ER visit (even after insurance, typically). You will get seen in the ER, but not quickly, and you will probably pay more.

As far as I understand financial regulation ICOs are illegal in most countries. It is just a matter of enforcing the existing rules.

One thing I'd been wondering about was how minimum wages interacted with the obvious power imbalance between low-skill, low-wage workers and their employers. If I'm right then employers would basically be compelled by competition to take advantage of their most powerless employees, in the absence of such legislation.

In the free market ideal, the wages would be getting forced higher than is ideal by government intervention, but apparently reality hasn't supported this theory, and one obvious reason to me is that the wages were being suppressed below their true level due to this asymmetry.

Tangential aside: is this the same Larry Summers that suggested we should ship toxic waste to 3rd world countries because their lives were worth less? Things must be getting pretty grim if he's speaking out in favor of unions.
> Most gov healthcare result in rationing an long wait times

Most private health care avoid visible rationing by letting people pay to skip ahead in the queue based on economic means instead of urgency and clinical need. That the rationing and queuing isn't visible doesn't mean it's not there. Only that in the US people sit at home wondering how to afford treatment instead of wait in line based on triage based on urgency.

So yes, the US system is superior if you're one of the lucky ones that can afford to pay your way past those who need treatment more than you.

> and sucks up massive amounts of resources.

US healthcare is vastly more expensive for the users than most socialised options..
Modern Western European pension systems are largely post-WW2 so haven't been around that long. Sure based on performance so far, there are fair reasons to think you'll be able to extract a liveable pension in say 2050, but it's not really guaranteed.

This is one of the things about bitcoin nobody has ever explained to me adequately. Governments use monetary policy & other economic tools to regulate the economy. Assuming we're all Keynsians here, this is a pretty important feature that govts will not give up, so how is Bitcoin ever supposed to supplant fiat currency?

There are large amounts of coercion in care for people with mental illness or people with learning disabilities.

Things like community treatment orders are based on coercion.

This only applies to quite small numbers of people, but we can't say they don't happen.

I assume the parent's point wasn't that you need a prescription, but that you're unlikely to receive anything more than ibuprofen.
Let's not confuse a lack of proper design hierachy with "flat UI". Actionable elements like buttons blending into the background do not signify "flat design" per se. Neither do purple non-underlined links vs. blue+underlined.

The title of this study isn't representative of the tests they actually ran. It falsely lumps together flat design and a terrible design hierarchy, which is expressed by the strategic use of contrast and color.

Further, some of the tests aren't representative of an argument for or against "flat" when they compare [a bright pink button with gradient and drop shadow] to [a white button with a light gray border], both on a mostly white page. Of course people will see a fat blob of pink faster than a faint gray-on-white, regardless of any drop shadows or gradient effects on either of those items. That's an absurd comparison if you want to make a point against "flat ui".

If you want to compare flat vs. non-flat, you better use the same pink button in both cases (or the same faint gray button) - once with and once without any effects such as drop shadows or gradients.

This study is very one-sided and merely confirms what any designer worth their salt already knows: you need to make actionable elements stand out from the rest of the content, plain and simple. Contrast is king, no matter if you're making a flat design devoid of any depth or if you're using drop shadows and rainbow gradients.

Well, some level of triage takes place anywhere you go in the US. If you're at the doctor's office or urgent care for chest pain, you're probably getting a ride to the ER. But, nobody's going to send you away from anywhere because you come in with a broken arm (assuming they're equipped to handle it) or the sniffles. It's just a matter of how long you will wait and how much you will pay.

If you don't trust us to respect your privacy why are you trusting us to download and run code from the internet on your machine?

We need analytics to effectively run the Homebrew project (as you've noted: we are volunteers). If you no longer trust our project: go use something else.

No-one else provides anywhere near the same scale for free. We have over a million monthly active users and every other solution we tried (including FOSS ones) either fell over at that load or we couldn't find anyone willing to provide hosting for us.

We don't send any personally identifiable information to Google. You are tracked by a randomly generated UUID (which you can regenerate at any time) and we tell Google to not store IP addresses.
I wanted to learn python by myself, a few years ago, it was not easy (difficult to justify to use it at work when you know perl enough to do the job in 1/10th of the time). To keep motivation, I have followed https://www.coursera.org/learn/interactive-python-1. IMHO, it is very good for beginners. It avoids the library problem and allows to have funny results.
