Unfortunately no, from what I understand this is primarily an attack against clients.
As a matter of fact, most patients don't pay their medical bills, hospitals only collect about 20% of Patient A/R.

The reason the ER facilities charge is so high is that people abuse the ER and threaten the lives of people who actually need saving. The ER can't legally turn people away and asking them to pay a bill is pretty fruitless, especially for underbanked Americans. Meanwhile, the hospitals jack up the charges to offset the losses on the aforementioned patients.

Taxpayers subsidize these losses in addition to paying for health insurance.

There is actually not that much crazy stuff you must learn early on. The problem with Haskell is that it's hard for beginners to know what stuff they should avoid.

I wish you were right, but having worked at Intel during their early battles with AMD, "bad" action is how you survive in a cut throat hyper competitive global market. The reason Intel survives today and AMD lost out big time, is the shenanigans they pulled (for years) to retain customers despite having worse tech.

Every mindlessly ambitious corporate exec knows the simplest way to get ahead is to do something the other guy isn't ready to do. You can't compete if you don't have these kind of characters on your bench to do the dirty work. And every company has them and many are lead by them.

The incentives for bad action will change only when the global consumption mega-machine hits some sort of breaking point. Otherwise there are too many good lawyers and congressmen already in place to keep you out of jail.

I don't know about the quantums but to detect the waves you basically split a laser beam using mirrors and redirect each split to a detector. When the wave hits it stretches each split in the beam slightly which causes an interference pattern. That pattern, as it evolves over time as the wave hits, can be converted into sound which is that "chirp" that everyone talks about.
I don't think it's fair to judge DSLs (Embedded DSLs or EDSLs to be more precise) as a whole based on Ruby alone. I write Ruby at my day job and I think it's metaprogramming features are lacking. Languages like Clojure, Scheme, and Common Lisp are much better places to look. Designing languages is an inherent part of programming, but not being able to extend the syntax of your host language (as is the case in many languages) is very limiting.

In the years I've spent writing ES5 JavaScript code, I've constantly wished there was a macro system I could use to stop writing this:

(function($) { doSomeJQueryStuff(); })(jQuery)

and instead write something like this, which is what I could do in any other sane lexically scoped language:

let($ = jQuery) { doSomeJqueryStuff(); }

Instead I had to wait for the language design gods to add similar syntax to ES6. I think any programmer should be able to put on their language designer hat and add some syntax if they want.
Despite living in the Boston area I don't really do this, even though I see others doing it, because, well, I don't really trust the other guy to stop.
If you bought your Yubikey on Amazon, you can't replace it directly, but have to contact the seller.

As Amazon tends to intermingle supply from different resellers for Fulfillment by Amazon products, you might have a Yubikey whose Serial No is registered to a different reseller than the one you paid - as result, replacement is going to be complicated.

EDIT: Here the message the Yubico website displays: https://i.imgur.com/FVINcQB.jpg, and the response from the support: https://i.imgur.com/it8zxgp.png

In some ways, the higher clearances (TOP SECRET, SENSITIVE COMPARTMENTED INFORMATION) are easier. It's not a checklist thing at the higher levels. You get to discuss problems. There are long interviews, lie detector tests, checks of original records, and interviews of people in your past. The FBI used to do this work, but I think it's outsourced now. The current processing time for a TS clearance is about a year.

> What have you learned about FP from executing SQL queries? Probably nothing.

I would really like to know why you conclude this, because it seems almost certainly wrong. SQL is a great example of a mainstream non-imperative, no-implicit-side-effect language, which is really the essence of functional programming.
The critical point is specification vs. implementation. Any difference creates a loophole which can be abused.

Apologies for being a debbie downer, but it looks like the authors looked into Protocol Buffers and Flatbuffers.

Did they consider CapnProto?

In my limited experience with efficient serdes for analytics, CapnProto would meet 1 - 4.

Arrow is an in-memory format and CapnProto would afford the ondisc (memmap) heavy lifting with (very) little overhead. My
CapnProto/LMDB datastructures allow me to write better than C++ code in Python with comparable runtime performance.

The only issue I have with CapnProto is getting it to run on Windows 7 x64, but it works out of the box on Linux.
Fear of missing out?
You've hit on what I see as the big problem with stop signs in the US - they are inconsistent. Sometimes they are used at intersections where failing to stop is very dangerous, but much more often they are used when a yield sign would be sufficient. It conditions people in their normal driving to think of stop signs as recommendations, not requirements. This would seem to increase the danger of intersections where stopping fully is really necessary since people are more inclined to roll pass the stop sign.

I think this is where the real gems start. The biggest contribution that SMB had was the "physics engine", to retrofit a modern term. The friction, the jumping, the inertia. If you compare it with the primitive physics in Donkey Kong or Mario Brothers, you can really grasp the groundbreaking novelty that was SMB. You can change direction in mid-air, but not too much. When you run, you skid if you try to run in the opposite direction. The height of your jumps is affected by your running speed.

It's all of these little details combined, barely noticed in tandem, which made the game new and fun.

I think there is also an emotional/social dimension to choosing a beginner's language that is important to take into account.

Imagine (putting Haskell's static typing aside), the difference in feeling between learning the basics of FP (say higher order functions, streams, all the different ways of dispatching function calls, etc.) in Haskell, vs OCaml, vs Clojure, vs scheme, vs javascript. Poking around on the internet, the beginner is going to get really different aesthetic vibes from each of these languages.

To shamelessly generalize:
- Haskell/OCaml feels cerebral, academic, Mathematical, maybe even elitist
- Clojure/scheme has that dark-terminal screen, classic 80s vibe-
to me it feels nostalgic and quirky.
- Javascript is, of course, javascript- it's bright, active, and, most of all, popular

All of these will bore/intimidate/comfort/excite different student demographics in different ways, completely independently of the programming concepts that you're teaching. So I think it's important to keep in mind the aesthetic preferences of the students you're trying to catch.
Crossing solid lines is not illegal in my state. Drifting a bit out of your lane is pretty dangerous. Usually you get away with it, but if two people do it at the same time while adjacent, you're going to bump. Do it when there's oncoming traffic in the next lane (which I see all the damned time) then you could easily get people killed. Mildly exceeding the speed limit is fine, but people don't do it in a carefully considered way because they know it's still safe, they do it because they're in a hurry and know they probably won't get pulled over.
Yup. GM jealousy FUD.

Their ideas were not really tried on any large scale; Lenin’s ideas (which superficially resembles Marx & Engels’ and claim continuity with them, but reject key components, including, most critically, the foundational one of building off a pre-existing advanced capitalist society) were widely tried, and people hostile to Marx and Engels’ ideas frequently attempt to conflate that with a trial of Marx and Engels’ ideas.
> you wouldn't choose an inflationary currency.

Inflation only hurts people that hold non-trivial amounts of that asset. Most people benefit from inflation as it makes their debts easier to pay.

However, it's foolish to assume most people make make such choices rationally. People would choose currencies based on popularity and/or whatever they heard on TV.

First step is to ask for an itemized bill, usually comes out to be a couple pages in a hospital. Then check for anything that looks wrong or charged wrong. 90% of medical bills contain at least one error. There are also advocacy companies that will do this for you, a solid investment if you're paying 10k+.
It's a mix of factors, but part of it was examining what freedom means to me. It was never a specific set of goals I had or specific things I wanted to do, it was a general idea that I still want to be able to go out on Friday night, or go hiking on a whim Saturday, or lounge around at night and hack on my pet project or record some music or something.

The answer came in many parts:

- We bring the kids with us a lot. Some of the fear was mental friction about the difficulty of hauling kids around. Yeah, it takes a little more work, but as long as I do that work, I bring them along and can still go where I want.

- We sometimes take turns parenting to allow each other some freedom. I can buy time to work on my hacking projects and music tomorrow by watching the kids today. For me, this didn't change that much from my relationship with my wife, where we would make similar choices to invest some time with each other.

- We hire babysitters sometimes. (But movie night did go from a very cheap date before kids to a very expensive night after kids...)

- I take more stock of how much time I waste. For example, watching TV/Netflix is fun, but I can choose to sacrifice that here and there and buy time to do other more meaningful things.

- My motivations changed after having kids, and I have the freedom to spend time with them. Certain kinds of socializing became less important to me, which frees up some time.

- We plan ahead more often. Not a bad thing, what freedom meant in some cases was the freedom to not plan, but if I plan ahead and commit to things, I can still do what I want.
> management of the supply of that currency that is equitable to all participants remains illusive

The interests of participants are mutually exclusive: debtors want high inflation, lenders want deflation.
I believe the fees like 'holding a baby' are a result of them determining an overall cost to charge you, average, per hour, then itemizing it out for legal or tracking reasons. So you weren't being charged $40 to hold the baby for a minute, it's you are being charged $40 for a minute, during which you held the baby.

I have seen bad car accidents happen and been in minor ones.

I am curious about how you remember your perception of time. This is a simple description, but it is "fast not fast" when it is happening to you. "Yep this is happening. Oh, they are going 25. Yep they are going to hit me, that is going to be scary, possibly hurt, and cost a lot to repair. I hope this doesn't hurt my neck. I should put my feet flat. Crunch. Okay, that didn't hurt. The airbag didn't deploy. ..." In about 1 second.

Watching the accidents it is sort of surreal, just sort of flat. Bang. Spin. Stop. Airbags deflate. I immediately check surroundings, move out of danger, call 911, try to recall safety things, keep people in place if their injuries seem serious and their vehicle isn't on fire, but it all feels "real time" watching things. It just doesn't register the same in my brain.
I used to feel the same way until I realized stop signs are traffic controls that do more than cause cars to stop. They reduce traffic speed, allow pedestrians to cross roads, and can shift traffic patterns. Often these secondary effects are not obvious to drivers.

There are stop signs that shouldn't exist but they're the minority.
