Quite possibly I think. This is both confirmation that neutron star mergers do indeed exist and create kilonova, and the first detection of an astronomical event with both gravitational waves and light. Nobel prize is only limited to three people though, so it's unclear who they would give it to, given there are thousands of people that contributed to this.
That and the shale revolution is driving huge changes in the petrochemical world. Which in turn is helping drive the return of manufacturing to the states and increased exports. Cheap energy, cheap material and 3rd printing could bring a whole lot of manufacturing back to the states.

I'm always tempted by this, I have time, I know people, but the thing is, you agree too far to many contracts by starting to use such a device, that just navigating the initial waters to find a path to sue anyone is a complete non-starter.

I've never understood why people started subscribing to work email on their personal phones to begin with. Why would you want to get work mail when you're not at work, and why would you want to use your own hardware to do it? I've never done that and nobody I've worked for has ever asked me to do that; my personal phone is for my personal communication.
In order of impact:

* Stop looking for "opportunities" until I need one. This means entertaining recruiters, personal branding, networking, coupons/free stuff, freelance sites, side projects, meeting sales people. 80% of errands I didn't want came from this. The only exception is helping people who ask for help.

* Getting the hardest thing done a day. Sometimes this means getting rest and sleeping at 9 PM.

* If it feels bad to the point I rant for nights to my wife about it, get rid of it. Fire that guy, send that email, yell at the boss, quit that job, destroy that rival. Sometimes it costs me all my daily willpower to do this one thing, and I end up too tired to do anything else. It's always worth it.

* Focus days. Basically these totally monastic days, where I stay away from all entertainment and think on a problem, except for family time. You know that moment you get an idea in the shower? When avoiding all entertainment, you get that moment all day, and it wanders off to something useful, not about how to optimize my build for a game.

* Never directly working past 6 PM. Daydreaming about work is fine but don't write anything.

* Getting 7 hours of sleep a night. 1 extra hour of sleep allowed 2 more hours of difficult work.

* L-Theanine

* Exercise regularly in mornings.

* Disposable prototypes. If I feel unsure if something could be done or unsure how to do it, build something that will be disposed later. Forcing myself to throw it away also keeps me from adding stuff I don't actually need and keeps me from paralyzing perfectionism.

* Don't emotionally focus on something. Bad things hurt, but focus on getting back up or away from the pain. Don't let it distract.

* Yes, fear/depression/anger increase productivity 500%. But the side effects are very bad.

You have it backwards. Everyone is going to drive fast regardless of the law. Cali is just a state that recognizes this. Writing the law for humans should be celebrated. You can either take that into account or you close your eyes and plug your ears to reality and release a shitty autonomous car.
To be fair, the article is poorly written. I had to read the article a few times before I understood that the victim was a target of a car bomb.

her car... was destroyed by a powerful explosive device which blew the car into several pieces

This has some problems,

1. Passive voice; should be "a bomb destroyed her car"

2. Vague; how powerful exactly was this bomb? did it destroy nearby cars? or only hers?

3. Missing important details; was she in the car? near it?
Wow. There is a twist at the end

Pollution too. Speed limits are sometimes lowered when it is a problem. Temporary, during peaks, or permanently.

The other, more cynical reason for lowering speed limits is that in many countries now, speed traps are a significant source of income for the state. Making the speed limit significantly lower than what the standard 85% rule says is a good way to extract money from unsuspecting drivers.

> There was nothing in the ACA that tackled healthcare costs

This isn't true.

It's reasonable to argue that there are potential cost control efforts that weren't included or implemented correctly or that what was included/implemented wasn't effective enough.

But it is false to state that there was nothing in the ACA that was meant to address healthcare costs. There's a lot you can read about this. Here's two examples:

https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2013/12/09/controlling-he...

https://www.rwjf.org/content/dam/farm/reports/issue_briefs/2...

(RWJF has a ton of stuff worth reading, btw.)

That first one is particularly important to digest for anyone who thinks price transparency should be among the primary solutions to health care costs issues. If you think incentives matter -- and I'd assume anyone who's hoping price transparency is a solution does -- then it's worth considering the fact that fee-for-service itself has an incentive built in that's inimical to cost control, and transparency and competition may not be enough to solve it.

I'd also say that even if there were no other consideration than expanding access, you could credibly argue that is itself a cost control, at least if the HotSpot theory of expenses is correct:

https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2011/01/24/the-hot-spotte...

People have been talking about this for a long time: emergency interventions are expensive. Preventative care might control costs. Expanding access to services and making preventative care affordable removes incentives against seeking it. There's a tension here between that, of course, and letting consumers bear some first-dollar costs to give them incentives to do some rationing. It's almost like there's no easy answers.

And if you're really concerned about health care generally or the ACA specifically, make sure you actually read the bill:

https://www.healthcare.gov/where-can-i-read-the-affordable-c...

You might even find out that some of the people who worked on the bill included provisions to have US hospitals "establish and make public a list of its standard charges for items and services." Or you might find that there's an entire section called Title III that's about "Improving the Quality and Efficiency of Health Care."

Almost like the people who worked on this really had thought about the relevant issues as much as a reasonably intelligent random citizen working in the tech industry has. :) Doesn't mean there aren't problems with it or we couldn't do better. But we can't do better as long as people who care to talk about it don't have a clear and accurate idea of what has actually been done.
I'm on Malta at the moment, (I'm not Maltese). From what I've heard this will mostly be related to local politics in Malta rather than some international coverup.
It's partially that. But the extension system is also there because it's a super light process to get them accepted, and the development community is voting in a way about what extensions are worth adding to the languages, and what can be left to spoil and die.
You misunderstood my comment, I'm not afraid to have children, we choose not to and fear is not a factor in that choice. Practicality is, as well as personal preferences. A lack of family support is only a single factor, I was just giving it as a single example.

There's a reason I included income/savings specifically in life situations.

>not feel like you need to defend your choice to anyone, you have all the right in the world to deal with the family that was inflicted on you in any way you see fit and without worrying what other people think.

We live in a very judgemental society when it comes to childbearing, child rearing, and parenthood. Parents always get the benefit of the doubt, pretty much no matter what. Denying access to grandchildren is considered extremely cruel. If I didn't give a good reason then people think negatively of me. That's just the society we live in and what we value as a society. Our culture of valuing parents to martyr themselves plays into it. Even the word you used in the GP shows this - "selfish."

Interactive sorting visualizatons with sound
Hi, what is your browser? Maybe you had the sound off?
I was recently billed $6500 for an MRI. I ended up being completely fine, but I'm really annoyed with what happened. An MRI is typically $500, but I went to UCLA's radiology facility because I was referred there by a UCLA specialist at a clinic. The $6000 was a hospital fee that was tacked on because the radiology facility is located on hospital grounds. The explanation/itemization from UCLA is that it's because hospital equipment was used, but it wasn't any different from equipment at any other radiology center.

My insurance paid most of it ($4000ish) and I'm "only" responsible for around $500, but I'm extremely soured by the experience. I've had major surgeries that cost around that much. An MRI anywhere else would have cost me $50 total. I feel completely bilked by UCLA and I wish I could avoid giving them any more money, but I don't have very many choices around their campus when it comes to accepting my insurance.

It makes me never want to set foot in a hospital again unless I'm literally dying.
Yes, it seems that human attention has become the ultimate luxury commodity. I think that a cryptocurrency derives a significant portion of its value from the mere fact that that a lot of people know about its existence.

A lot of celebrities these days make huge sums of money in spite of being untalented. Being famous is valuable in itself.

People (especially rich people) want to be loved and/or respected. The "why" doesn't actually matter. If you own a lot of something which a lot of people know about, then you will be respected.

The blockchain is public. Everybody can see it. It's the ultimate instrument of vanity. In the future you'll be able to show off your wealth without the stigma associated with actually showing it off. People will be able to look you up on a popular blockchain and know that you are an influential individual.

It solves a big problem that rich people have. They want to appear humble but at the same time they want other people to know that they are rich.
What one ignores is the traffic that you pass when you're going 65 in a 55. I would estimate probably 1/4 of traffic is moving at or just below the limit. I'm in Houston and we deal with traffic quite a bit and I'm not addressing rush hour bumper to bumper here.

The fundamental question is who is at fault for the differential in speed (i.e. that which increases risk of injury/death with an accident)?

The answer is the person who breaks the law and the one who does so as a precaution to themselves (i.e. following the flow of traffic). An accident by this group disproportionately affects those obeying the law.

So I see three groups.

1. The speeder.
2. The law abiding citizen.
3. The person who is aware of their surroundings and adapts.

Ethically between 1 and 2, 2 has the upper hand. 3, when driving with 1 increases risk to 2. But if 3 joins 2 they increase risk to themselves and to the larger group 1.
Dealerships are not that competitive, though.

They are awarded on territorial basis to guarantee some monopoly within a geographic market, and the incentive system (inventory requirements, bonuses) benefits current owners opening in new markets rather than new players stepping in.

Their business model also relies on frequent customer visits for repairs/maintenance and subsequent upsell, so their incentives are somewhat misaligned with manufacturer's. So even if Tesla did a complete 180 on their service centers and started selling dealerships, they might not have many takers considering their maintenance needs and potential revenue https://www.tesla.com/support/maintenance-plans

Lastly, while a network of independent mechanic shops might be an indicator of competitive markets working properly, that market is far from transparent due to information asymmetry between the service buyer and the service provider.
Is EMTLA (had to google it, Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act) really the problem? Eg, do the costs of covering this "free" treatment make up the majority of hospital bills we get charged? If our prices are 2-4x other countries, I have a hard time believing that the "real" problem is emergency services for those without coverage. My wife works in a trauma center so I'm well aware of how much they do for the uninsured (along with what they do NOT do for them), but I have a hard time believing the scale is an order of magnitude.
Never have, even when I was contracting I was able to find plenty of work through existing contacts and reputation.

they all panic on failure. It’s one thing for Firefox to crash when my computer completely runs out of swap

Actually most large allocations in Firefox are fallible and the browser will only crash when it can't deal with an allocation in security-sensitive code. So that's a terrible example!
Hi fulafel, sorry for my late response.

In this example we have two servers (hello-server and auth-server) and their respective clients (hello-client and auth-client).

The client-server communication is achieved using gRPC, a RPC framework that enstabish a bi-directional stream between the parties. gRPC use http/2 as the transport protocol and protocol buffer as serialization format.

The communication is secured using TLS. By default the TLS protocol only proves the identity of the server to the client (server-side authentication), however in this example the server require the client to provide its own certificated to proves its identity (client-side authentication). In this way we have mutual authetication (or two-way authentication); two parties authenticating each other at the same time.

The mutual authentication is achieved by generating a certificate (and a private key) for each server and (potentially) one for each client (in this case clients share the same certificate). Certificates are signed by a common trusted certificate authority and can be validated on each side.

In this example the auth-server provide token based authentication as a service for the hello-server. This is done by let the user login to the auth-server, using the auth-client, by providing username and password. Once the auth-server as determined the identity of the user, it generate a JWT token an sign it with a dedicated private key, then send it back to che auth-client which store it on the user's disk.

When the user use the hello-client to communicate with the hello-server the client load the token from disk and pass it in the request. The hello-server then validate the token signature with the corresponding public key.

Doing this allow servers to communicate in a secure way only with trusted clients and only the auth-server can generate valid auth tokens, that can be validated by other servers by sharing only the public key.

Thanks for your question, hope I answered.

You can't say you will find the best job for someone and then magic up a contract with every company they want to apply to.

Why would a company pay for a candidate with an agency fee attached when they probably have other similarly qualified candidates that have applied directly.

That puts the candidate that has applied through you at a disadvantage and encourages the employer & candidate to swap details and circumvent the service after an introduction has made.

Whoever requests your services is the one that payment should come from and (from experience) candidates do not want to pay.
This is a great summary. Emphasizes changing the incentives in the system is the key. If we incentivize a healthy overall population over fee-for-service quotas we get out of these conflict-of-mission scenarios where the system appears to be about making profits for some actors over everything else.

However, Trump's E.O. to kill the subsidies essentially destroys the ACA completely. We're left with a baroque, Kafkaesque flourish on the status quo before the ACA.
If you ever find yourself advocating "education is a solution", you likely need to re-assess your position.

Education is never a solution, because its practically unsolvable. Here a list of factors that affect education outcomes.

Child/Student fetal health, maternal health, child nutrition, stimulation, General health, adult/child stress levels, prolonged illness, availability of food, water, electricity and security.

Family poverty levels, need to work, familial stability,

Study habits, study training, parental guidance, word use in family conversation, familiarity with language of education, ability to learn, availability of time to learn, which builds into whether you picked up the initial building blocks of the subject and therefore future success. Propensity to learn, interest in subject.

The list goes on. This is one of the weaker lists I've made, but the essence of it, is that there are a huge number of variables that can easily break the ability of a student to finish a subject.

Remember that completion rates for MOOCs are about 7%. That's the result when you have voluntary, motivated students, choosing the classes they want to study.

Solving "education", is a proxy for having already solved whatever societal problem required people to be educated in the first place.

People would love to have the time to take a class on philosophy to enrich their lives, or a class on logic, on media manipulation.

But if you remember conversations on HN, people constantly look down on the arts and humanities, such classes are "pointless", you wont get a job.

A non-controversial opinion at time your education system is being valued more as a treadmill for college, in itself a tread mill so people can get jobs.

The rule of thumb is that any time you find yourself saying "education will solve it", work backwards, because Education is currently unsolvable.

(and we may not want to solve it - if you could get people trained on a "good" subject in shorter times than ever before, then you can also train them on "bad" subjects in shorter times than ever before.)
Admitting to some drug use is almost an asset. I don't drink. It's been more than 10 years since I even had a glass of wine. But such answers on a background check make you look like a recovering addict, which I am not. During my recent checks my references weren't asked about my reliability, only my "alcohol use". The investigators were obviously trying to see if I had lied about my not drinking. I would have been screwed had one of my references made a mistake, for example if they saw me carrying a glass at a party and erroneously assumed it was mine. Luckily that didn't happen. But had I instead lied and said that I drank a sixpack every weekend the investigators wouldn't have even bothered to check.
It's not the safest bit of driving, but it's enormously pro-social. As that quote suggests, the problem isn't "I want to turn left" but rather "there are 30 cars behind me going straight, with no room to pass me on the right".

If people just wanted to turn left, this would happen everywhere. Instead, I see it almost exclusively in cities with narrow streets lacking left turn lanes. In extreme cases, it's even personally beneficial for the yielding driver - the alternative is sometimes gridlock that circles back around to them.

None of which makes it safe, but it's pretty obviously common for reasons other than selfishness.
Oh my. I recently met an Estonian couple and I felt like this national ID was a huge thing for the country.
Cultural norms have nothing to do with optimal driving. It used to be a cultural norm in parts of the US to drive around with a 6-pack of beer in the console, and one in your lap. Just because a culture has "unspoken driving rules" doesn't mean they're safe or sound.
There's also a Legend of Zelda disassembly, but it's not as nice:

It's a much larger game, though.

I haven't checked, but I'm assuming that a lot of the giant chunks of statically-defined data are just graphics and audio (unlike many games, LoZ stored graphics interspersed with the program code and copied data over to an in-cartridge RAM chip, instead of storing the complete graphics data in a ROM chip.)
Yup. Increased potential for addictions like gambling, spending, sex, ideology, drugs or gossip makes someone a liability. A health-nut, teetotaler, nerdy dude (or dudette) uninterested in sex, doesn’t talk much and able to resist and report manipulation or pressure would be ideal. (“Boring is beautiful.”)
Also cosider that it would currently take around $80k (and some non-negligibe time) to break one single pair of certificate (and thus a person's identity and signature) stored on one card.

That's not to say that everyone's safe, but before the attack becomes properly feasable (and it will be), everyone will be upgraded or revoked.
