I agree, many things which could be deemed securities are not. The SEC's mandate is to protect small investors and public faith in investment markets, and they will hopefully focus their power on instruments where that faith is being challenged.

If they do, the best strategy for an organization raising money through an ICO is to use that money in as transparent and ethical a manner as possible.
That's quite a savings. Has anyone else done this? Do you see more bounces due to using the AWS servers from using SES? Ending up in more people's spam folders?

I’m going to mention it if you list it as a requirement and ask me about it.
Even with insurance, they implicitly encourage people to say everything is an "emergency" because otherwise you'd have to call them to get approval. But if you say "it was an emergency" you can avoid having to jump through hoops. So you go, and it clogs the emergency room, everyone pays more.
While very impressive, always nice to save a lot of money, I hope someone can explain why SES is not good enough many times as I seen here on HN before.

There are supposed to be issues with deliverability from SES that many can't accept and so they use other services (of which, the main one, I'm blanking on) that handle sending mail better.

That certainly appears to be the case. I'm not quite so willing to give up on the original definition, though. "Agile", for instance, eventually came to be widely (though by no means universally) known as something requiring a very specific set of tools and processes (SCRUM, test-first, velocities,...) when the original manifesto made no mention of any of this and even said "Individuals and interactions over processes and tools".

Goalposts move, definitions change... but if "progressive" doesn't refer to the progression from HTML to elaborate UI in JS or mobile, does it still refer to the movement from simple to more complex? Or has "progressive" become a great sounding word, like "agile", that everyone wants to claim? Nobody wants to describe themselves as lumbering and clunky instead of agile, or regressive and backward instead of progressive.

I find them pretty useful, the DSLs are generally just slightly modified version of BNF which is pretty straightforward to pick up.

It's not withholding health care. It's withholding American tax money from being used for people who are not Americans. They're free to pay for health care for themselves.

Birth of a Supremacist
Seems like your problem is a lack of discipline, not technology.
From another article on the same study (albeit earlier):

> "Medicaid coverage increases emergency department use, both overall and for a broad range of types of visits, conditions, and subpopulations," says Amy Finkelstein, an economics professor at MIT and one of the authors of the study.

> "Including visits for conditions that may be most readily treatable in primary care settings."

Google to Replace TS with Dart in Angular 5
After being a huge success at Google with 25% productivity increase and static typing. Insiders at Google has decided to pivot the next version of AngualarJS project to Dart. What are you guys take on this.
That doesn't really work for medical offices. A better solution is to reserve more schedule slots each day for patients who call or just show up that day. That makes the overall system more efficient since patients with urgent symptoms don't have to go to urgent care or ER.
Same here. Our local urgent care places aren't open very late, so every time we've gone to the emergency room is because it's the only medical establishment open.
That's a shame if it's true. It's a project that could make a huge difference to people - both technical and non-technical.

I'd pay money for a replacement for their old "Public" folder that gives me:

1. A directory on my drive that's automatically synced to a public folder on a web server

2. The convenience of Dropbox's Finder/Explorer integration (right-click to copy link)

First one is pretty trivial with a cron job (or equivalent) and some rsync-fu. Second one, not sure. That's basically the convenience factor I'd pay a few bucks a month for. That and never having to check if the cron job's running. I want brain-dead simple. Anybody know of something that does this?

Their "link to your file(s) on Dropbox.com, embedded in a fancy web interface" feature(s) seems pretty useful honestly. Especially the history of who viewed the file -- that's a real differentiating feature. Different use case though.

Edit: I'm not sure why this is being downvoted.
While it's certainly possible there's some bias going on there, I can confirm that this guy really worked at Google. He contacted me a few months ago about a position, but I decided not to pursue a role there.

David Neiwert[1], one of my favorite investigative journalists, often references Robert Paxton work on fascism when drawing parallels between the right-wing extremists in the US and fascists.[2]

While the mainstream media is only now beginning to catch on to the phenomenon of American right-wing extremists, neo-nazis, and white supremacists (mostly due to the publicity they got as the "alt-right" in Trump's election and the chaos at Charlottesville), Neiwert has been on their trail for decades. Well worth reading, if you're interested in this sort of thing.

Perhaps you'll decide to buy a competitor like Dropbox, choose their product as the one true product and close down OneDrive. Like you bought Skype and shut down MSN Messenger.

That said, it probably won't happen overnight and it's not that difficult to migrate from OneDrive to Google Drive or such. Lock-in is low.
Ask HN: Sources for acquisition data?
I was recently thinking about an old YC blog post that reviewed trends in YC applications over several years (http://blog.ycombinator.com/the-startup-zeitgeist/). I'm interested in performing a similar analysis on startups that have been acquired in the last few years (not necessarily by tech companies). I assumed there would already be something like this out there but haven't found anything that digs deeper than a handful of big players for a relatively short time period.

Does anybody know of any reliable sources of acquisition data?
It would seem that the cost of being stingy here is that the medical care system is more expensive for less performance in the US. Cut off your nose to spite your face exemplified.

If I read correctly that's a 3rd gen CPU. This will be really inferior in terms of virtualization.

For the 2300$ more, you get a better and fully-featured CPU, GPU, a great screen (My eyes hurt at 1920x1080 already), great battery life, a lightweight tablet, great touchpad. I think the sentence "my bet is that for the average HN reader use case it scratches all the same itches as the Surface Book" isn't that true in practice.

I usually think it's good to make no compromises on my main development machine. It just boosts productivity and fun in the end.
Yeah we might be talking about the same thing using different words. For example a fair (and contractually on paper) co-founder agreement is something i think about a lot (and did some research on).
Doing this means that:

1) there are now an infinite number of URLs for every one of your pages that may end up separately stored on various services (mitigated for only some kinds of service if you redirect to correct),

2) if the title changes the URLs distributed are now permanently wrong as they stored part of the content (and if you redirect to correct, can lead to temporary loops due to caches),

3) the URL is now extremely long and since most users don't know if a given website does this weird "part of the URL is meaningless" thing there are tons of ways of manually sharing the URL that are now extremely laborious,

4) have now made content that users think should somehow be "readable" but which doesn't even try to be canonical... so users who share the links will think "the person can read the URL, so I won't include more context" and the person receiving the links thinks "and the URL has the title, which I can trust more than what some random user adds".

The only website I have ever seen which I feel truly understands that people misuse and abuse title slugs and actively forces people to not use them is Hacker News (which truncates all URLs in a way I find glorious), which is why I am going to link to this question on Stack Exchange that will hopefully give you some better context "manually".

meta.stackexchange.com/questions/148454/why-do-stack-overflow-links-sometimes-not-work/

Many web browsers don't even show the URL anymore: the pretense that the URL should somehow be readable is increasingly difficult to defend. A URL should sometimes still be short and easy to type, but these title slug URLs don't have that property in spades.

If anything, other critical properties of a URL are that they are permanent and canonical, and neither of these properties tend to be satisfied well by websites that go with title slugs, and while including the ID in there mitigates the problem it leaves it in some confusing middle-land where part of the URL has this property and part of it doesn't.

If you are going to insist upon doing this, how about doing it using a # on the page, so at least everyone had a chance to know that it is extra, random data that can be dropped from the URL without penalty and might not come from the website and so shouldn't be trusted?

(edit to add:) BTW, if you didn't know you could do this, Twitter is most epic source of "part of the URL has no meaning" that I have ever run across as almost no one realizes it due to where it is placed in the URL.

Have you checked out The Wirecutter/Sweethome? I find their reviews thorough and they always give you several options while explaining why you might choose one over the other. Here is their dishwasher review for example: http://thesweethome.com/reviews/the-best-dishwasher/
To me, type-classes are used like a less flexible form of duck typing. I would really like to see a more flexible strongly typed duck-typing than type-classes. I think that a sufficiently advanced IDE could auto-generate, from an expression, a "duck-type" for each untyped object used. For example, if you have the expression:

(given) g :: Int -> String
function a =
let
l = (f a)
in
g l

Would it be possible to generate the duct-type

"function :: (a which has a method f :: a -> Int) -> String"

Now you're not saying that a has to belong to a typeclass, you are saying that a has a duck-type of any value with a method f :: a -> Int.
> To me, anyone in the world being able to earn the equivalent of a Harvard degree appears to be the ultimate policy in dismantling inequality and advancing opportunity.

What happens in the classroom is largely not what defines a Harvard degree/graduate -- quite the contrary, actually. While some classes are very well taught, many of them round to something like "hey, you're smart, I'm going to pretend to teach, give you some reading lists, and you can figure it out for yourself."

There are little learning hacks like office hours (maybe) or talking with TAs (maybe), but again these are not the defining features of a Harvard grad (high quality or otherwise).

How to Design a Perfect SaaS Pricing Page
Delicious - like Mr Wong which I liked - was one of the these social but anonymous services. Some people may have chosen their normal pseudonym of choice and even shared it with friends, others may have not.

IMHO that's also the reason why Facebook was winning above all the other Social Networks, it was "real" and not anonymous (or pseudonymous). Virtually all popular social but (kind of) anonymous services of the past didn't survive or at least not make it to today's mainstream: forums, MySpace, ICQ... Reddit is kind of popular but almost exclusively used by techies or people considering themselves nerdy.

I wonder if one could make a modern Delicious, with mandatory Facebook connect or something. Not sure though if that would still work out of privacy concerns. Actually one might consider Pinterest something quite close to it.
Had to. The weight of the 370 was killing the gas mileage.

The key difference is that the Obama administration was working on staffing the state department (a difficult task to be sure), whereas it's become clear that the Trump administration and Rex Tillerson are doing the opposite, focusing on cuts and issuing a hiring freeze instead.

Tillerson has also proposed a 31 per cent cut to the department’s budget and an 8 per cent staff cut.

So the context you provide requires it's own context.

All of which does not speak to the volatile situation of the commander-in-chief of the most powerful military in the world making improvised foreign policy declarations over twitter.

The phenomenon you describe is something I see in multiple different political directions depending on the context. It's basically just frustration that the status-quo opinion is held to less rigor. -- I don't mean that the positions are bad, but the way people voice them assume that more and more is solved "offscreen."

Trump might be president, but in the Valley tech bubble, Anti-Trump is status quo. And politics in a bubble isn't like doing math homework, you only have to show how you got your answer if you want to disagree with the "obviously" correct positions.

The anti-Trump rhetoric is stronger than the old anti-Republician rhetoric. So the people annoyed by empty arguments are going to be louder too.
Would it be reasonable for the library to almost make a "good attempt at making a nonce, perhaps by using a global counter, date time, uptime and reading /dev/random?

> I would view that as a horrible compromise, because it would result in poor people receiving worse health care than wealthy people.

It's impossible for that not to be the case. It's even the case in countries with single payer, because rich people who live there and don't want to wait for an appointment or want something that isn't covered will just go to a country that can give them what they want and open their wallet. Even without leaving the country, they can hire private nurses and so on when they aren't covered by the national health system.

Moreover, why is this supposed to be a problem? "Money buys things" is the purpose of money.

There are things a rational national health system wouldn't pay for because they aren't economical, but a rich person would buy for themselves for much the same reasons they buy a Tesla instead of a Dodge. Which means they have a safer car because they have more money. Should we prohibit expensive safer cars because poor people can't afford them?
