Well, as someone who has a mildly life-threatening condition that manifested "off-book", and only one of several doctors I saw was able to identify it, I'm probably a bit more skeptical than average. But, it's worth noting that my symptoms were severe enough each time I had it that a PA would've certainly referred me to a doctor (I called an "advice nurse" each time who told me to see a doctor). So maybe that's a point in favor of PAs doing initial screens.

With respect to that comic, I would've gladly paid $4k out of pocket for a diagnosis. I still think fondly of the doctor who quickly figured out the puzzle that tricked a couple other specialists, my PCP, an urgent care doctor, and an emergency medical doctor. The same doctor who quickly sent me to the hospital in an ambulance with a note on my chart that said "this is serious, don't send him home until you confirm my diagnosis."

I'm not entirely clear on why this isn't a story about an insurance company suing the city. The author mentions that the city offered $5k to cover Lech's deductible, which implies the property was insured. Do homeowner's policies typically not cover this kind of scenario?
Amazon sells phones "with offers and ads" for a discount on the MRP.

In comparison, this phone is sold at a premium and then displaying ads? It seems Google wants to have it's cake and eat it too.
2017, because in 2015 the FCC acted on the advice of the people. Now, they act opposed to 98.5% of the unique comments from the public.
haha. Nice!

This was the first thing I built with Vue. Found this Udemy course to be super helpful! Max does a great job teaching and Udemy runs their $10 promos all the time so it's not expensive either. Definitely worth it since there aren't that many comprehensive tutorials / articles out on Vue yet.

I recall trying to argue against NN years ago here and getting down voted.

It's interesting that economists largely are against NN as well.

Net Neutrality prevents abuses; the FTC can step in after a violation reaches critical proportions. It's like the difference between parking in a locked garage in a bad neighborhood, and having a car alarm to let you know when your window has been broken and all your stuff stolen.

With respect to https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/11/21/356 and this thread I just want to get #CVEs on all the things so we can figure out the scope of the problem, and then look at what we need to do to "fix" "it" (assuming "it" is a real problem, dunno without data).
In 2001 NY was by far the biggest target. Today I think the Bay Area is a close second.
You need to combine both SPF records into one record that allows both sources.
Yes. Comcast and other big ISPs think you belong to them, that other businesses should pay to get to you, despite the fact that you, the ISPs actual customer, already paid so you can get to those businesses and they can get to you.

And yes, TLS doesn't conceal the domain names from your ISP and that's all they need to pick winners and losers. It can somewhat conceal different kinds of connection (e.g. peer-to-peer protocols like BitTorrent) but those aren't hard to spot through traffic analysis and Ajit Pai explicitly thinks ISPs should be able to block them, as Comcast was doing to BitTorrent traffic.
Nice one!! Did he transmit the middle finger in Morse code or what?
This article is about ETFs, not bitcoins or gold. If you own an ETF, you don't own gold or bitcoin, you own shared in an ETF, which is not even remotely the same. If you do actually own bitcoins or gold, and you entrust it to someone else, you have nobody to blame but yourself when they lose it. If you value something, hold onto it yourself and be careful with it.
The whole point is that lines are not easy to draw. Religion is a belief system and is not an intrinsic property either. Are you going to allow speech like "Kill all muslims" which is not very different from "Kill all capitalists".

Free speech is so critical to a functioning free society that I'd rather err on the side of allowing bad speech rather than banning not-bad speech by mistake.
I feel helpless. In this and in many things that this administration has brought on.

I'd think surface collisions would happen a lot more than underwater collisions with the same level of professionalism/carelessness due to

1. There are way more surface craft than submarines

2. For a surface crash two boats need to be in the same point in 2D space. For an underwater crash two subs also need to be at the same depth in the water column.
ah its just a flexbox css bug, thanks for the report
Bullshit is so easy to spread. People willing to peddle falsehoods often end up winning if they can just repeat the lies until everyone else gets tired of repeating themselves.

Network neutrality started in the early 2000s because some ISPs started blocking VPNs and other services. Network Neutrality was simply how the internet had always worked prior to that. The FCC wanted to take a light hand toward regulation but preserve neutrality so they imposed NN regulation. Verizon sued to overturn the regulations. The battle went back and forth several times. Eventually the courts said the FCC had the authority to impose the regulations but had to reclassify ISPs as common carriers to do so. That’s what the FCC did in 2015. Because the courts said so. Because Verizon sued to block network neutrality and overturn the way the internet had always worked up until that point.

The telco and cable companies all have handshake agreements not to “overbuild” - that is to lay lines in each other’s territory - because that would trigger competition. They hijack DNS queries to serve ads for mis-typed domain names. They hijack HTTP responses. They’re rolling out bandwidth caps.

If you think they aren’t going to exploit the rollback of NN for rent-seeking purposes then you’re naive at best.

P.S. they couldn’t exist without right of way to lay cables on other people’s private property! The internet and WWW were invented using government research money. ATT, Verizon, Comcast, et al are the ultimate welfare queens who exist thanks to suckling on the government teat.
I agree the future is hard to predict, but I don’t know about your claim the US engages in similar trickery.

Economic statistics for the US with fully disclosed methodologies are readily available. US military spending in 2016 was 3.3% of GPD, according to the World Bank. [1] New York’s economy is more industrially diverse than average (ranked 17 out of 51) with Long Island as the most diverse county in the state. [2] I realize that fed report is out of date, but as of 2016, the NY Metro area itself had a GDP of nearly $1.7 trillion, making it one of the larger economies in the world. [3]

Users need to get directly involved in protecting the content they desire. In the long run we need a cross between TOR and bittorrent to create a distributed cache to avoid throttling. Local "metropolitan" bandwidth is very fast, hard drives have expanded 10x in 10 years. An alternative is to use WiFi mesh networks.
I am/have been a professional miner, founded a mining hardware integrator, done angel investing rounds in mining ventures. Nothing really big (I invested between $1 and $2 million over the years). But, yes, I do work in the crypto mining space professionally and part of my job is to analyze miners' business plans.

It's even more rude considering that the author is in this thread, responding thoughtfully and patiently to our critiques.
I think we are agreement. I am horrified by the recent demonetization of science, expertise, and investigative journalism.

My point is not that fake news isn't real. It is that when Gmail marks a weird Nigerian prince style scam email as spam, there is nothing controversial to the user about that. The user and the spam filter share the same opinion of what is spam.

The problem with fake news is that many conservatives disagree with tech companies on what fake news means. So if a user wants to share a BS info wars article, and is told he or she can't because it's a load of crock, they are not going to like that. People don't use social media to be told they are wrong. From the perspective of these kinds of conservative users, the spam equivalent would be Gmail marking an email from your mother as spam.

It's a hard problem because, unlike spam, it requires companies to disagree with their users.
Could you please tell us about your experience? I’m intrigued (and I think at least a couple others are as well).

I'm working on composing letters to my state representatives for a contingency plan(city broadband). I read on reddit, that it might be more effective than directly contacting my federal representatives(I plan on doing that too.) I'll post my letters if there's any interest in them.

Would these letters be of any use?
And this is why most funds that hold bitcoin will fail, at some point.

Bitcoin is a paradigm shift. Its more important value proposition is the lack of counterparty risk (which other people refer to as "self financial sovereignity"). If you're hiring a custodian to hold the bitcoins for you, you're doing it wrong.

> They think that they don't have the 'expertise'

If bitcoin is seen as requiring some special knowledge to hold it safely, it's simply a UX problem that will be solved when wallet software/hardware matures.
Most forms of encryption also do very little to effectively conceal which application-layer protocols are in use, which has implications for ISPs with incentives to degrade BitTorrent, third-party VoIP, etc..

edit: It occurs to me that I'm apparently goddamn old now, and a good few HNers of 2017 might be too young to remember the whole Comcast/Sandvine/BitTorrent mess [1], viz. the history of this not being a hypothetical concern.

Open it in an incognito/private window. For some reason that trick is necessary for all Google Groups content as well.
Nick Gillespie: Your plan will, according to a write up in Politico, and I think this is accurate, it quote, "will jettison rules that prohibit internet service providers from blocking or slowing web traffic or creating so called paid internet fast lanes." Question for you, do you think fast lanes will become a thing? What is the value of a internet fast lane?

Ajit Pai: The answer to the first is we're not sure. We've never seen them before and that's part of the reason why I thought the rule in particular was, that was adopted in 2015, was very premature banning something that's simply didn't exist.

I took the time to read Ajit's argument here. It's completely mislead. If murder hadn't happened in a certain area yet, would it be "too preemptive" to outlaw it? Fast lanes DO exist in other countries right now. This is outrageous.
> If I write a Linux kernel patch on a consulting project, I am absolutely not required to publish it.

That would be a work for hire, and it is not the same thing as developing patches independently and distributing them with extra terms, because there is no distribution involved.

> The GPL on the Linux kernel means that grsec can't distribute a new Linux kernel with their patches while withholding code. That's not what they're doing.

That would be true if the patches were not derivative works of the Linux kernel in a legal sense. I'm no lawyer, but that seems contrary to the plain meaning of "derivative work".

Bruce Perens' argument is persuasive to me: https://perens.com/2017/06/28/warning-grsecurity-potential-c...

As is Linus Torvalds' ("kernel patches clearly _are_
derived works"): http://yarchive.net/comp/linux/gpl_modules.html

Those are not “coins”, they are addresses, which anyone can generate for free. Coins (strictly speaking, “amounts of bitcoin”) can be sent to and from them, but those coins don’t have an identity. Transactions and addresses have numbers; “bitcoins” don’t.
It's probably futile, but you might sign this "Do Not Repeal Net Neutrality" [0] petition on the White House petitions site. It already has over 100,000 signatures -- the threshold at which the White House is supposed to, at minimum, respond to it.

Since we can't vote on this and our representatives aren't voting on it either, it's worth a shot.

I've asked myself the same question. But back in 2015, when the rules were put in place, there was a controversy (Netflix and a court ruling) and people cared. When will the next time people "care" to put it back in? Just how politics work.

The Daily Stoic: 366 Meditations on Wisdom, Perseverance, and the Art of Living

I've learned a lot from this book. It made me calm and influenced my decisions.

For those who are interested and want to see an example here is an excerpt from the book:

July 1st

DO YOUR JOB

“Whatever anyone does or says, for my part I’m bound to the good. In the same way an emerald or gold or purple might always proclaim: ‘whatever anyone does or says, I must be what I am and show my true colors.’”

— MARCUS AURELIUS, MEDITATIONS, 7.15

The Stoics believed that every person, animal, and thing has a purpose or a place in nature. Even in ancient Greek and Roman times, they vaguely understood that the world was composed of millions of tiny atoms. It was this idea—this sense of an interconnected cosmos—that underpinned their sense that every person and every action was part of a larger system. Everyone had a job—a specific duty. Even people who did bad things—they were doing their job of being evil because evil is a part of life. The most critical part of this system was the belief that you, the student who has sought out Stoicism,have the most important job: to be good! To be wise. “To remain the person that philosophy wished to make us.” Do your job today. Whatever happens, whatever other people’s jobs happen to be, do yours. Be good.

There's more gems in this book. Guaranteed!
Those appear to be economists, not Internet domain specialists.

Less than half agree or strongly agree and in the weighted chart, a whopping 41% are Uncertain, which suggests they recognize that they don't know much about the subject. Many of the comments by Agree and Strongly Agree respondents indicate they don't understand the subject fully.
You compare the energy produced and the money value exchanged in US with the bitcoins exchanged in the whole world. While US is the biggest fiat based economy in the world, the most bitcoin volumes traded are generated by countries like South Korea and Japan, not US.
Saving money on rent is a side effect of vanlife, not the premise. Many do it for the geographical freedom.
If you care about your audience, present your ideas sensitively. If you don't care about your audience, then don't bother presenting any ideas because you aren't going to convince anyone. The point of discussion isn't to score points.

Perhaps the woman in your example was offended because she has been harrased or assualted personally. The fact that you felt the need to minimize it by saying the language was "mild" says a lot, who cares if it was mild? Go as hard as you want, free speech is absolute, contextless, consequence free. Anyone hurt by what you say is just trying to score political points by pretending to be offended.
My advice would be to listen to the women on this topic before indulging them in your pure axiomatic philosophical opinions of what they have experienced.

The whole idea of someone being "crucified" or "bullied" on social media is cowardly coming from a supposed free speech proponent. Man up, own your opinions.

A marketplace of ideas is fine, but no one is going to give you a fair shake if you are intentionally tactless, and that is your failing not your audiences.
The App Store has ads now. Not quite as bad as push notifications, but it makes me uncomfortable considering it’s the only supported way to install software.
Real protest means going to your local government to fight the internet access monopolies and duopolies. It means voting with your wallet and not supporting the companies pushing for this. It means showing up to vote next time instead of staying home. It means educating your neighbors about what this will mean for all of us.

Don't pretend we've exhausted all alternatives to violence -- we haven't. We've barely done any of the things that have been successful in the past at causing change. Suggesting otherwise reduces our power, it doesn't enhance it.

Sometimes we lose ground before we make progress. But that doesn't mean we've been defeated.
Hoagies Gifted Page used to keep lists of good books for bright kids. I assume they still do. I don't spend a lot of time there anymore for various reasons, including its tendency to frame giftedness as "Whoa is me. I am so smart, and it is ruining my life." But if you are only looking for book recommendations, that aspect probably does not matter.

When my oldest was being homeschooled and no amount of science was ever enough, I subscribed to some kind of science magazine for him. We also had a lot of "cartoon guides... " They occasionally have off color humor, so some people think they aren't appropriate for age 7. But I had no problem with it.

There are also nifty math books out there, like The Number Devil, Alice in Flatland and ...memory fails me. But I imagine all of these are listed on Hoagies.
Well System 7.5 came out around the same time and bundled the hierarchical Apple Menu (which IIRC was some shareware they acquired), into which everyone stuck an alias of their Applications folder, resulting in a pretty similar (if somewhat less fully featured) UI.
Its actually not that hard, Ive only been woken once at night.
> "If murder hadn't happened in a certain area yet, would it be 'too preemptive' to outlaw it?"

But even with murder, the law doesn't stop murders before they happen, but rather only acts retroactively (and that is for good reason).

> "Fast lanes DO exist in other countries right now."

But this is ignoring the whole debate: proponents of net freedom don't consider fast lanes to be a problem.
You're a dope if you don't vote. It's impolite to mention this, but it is not a political problem, but a Republican problem. A Democratic administration's FCC enacted Net Neutrality, a Republican one is attempting to dismantle it. Vote for Democrats at every level of government, in every election possible.

This will change some day, but today the Republican party has lost its mind and morals.

To be clear, I'm not calling you a dope.
If you mean we're letting domain experts decide on a technical issue, yeah, that's exactly what's happening.

People will pay for bespoke "vanity" addresses (this can be done securely or insecurely, the latter being a way of scamming people...), but those are not tied to any specific bitcoins.

Another thing I've seen is mined blocks of bitcoin being sold at a premium - the miner (or pool) will take your address and mine a block to it.
There are plenty of absolute crackpot petitions on there at this stage that undermine the legitimacy of this one by being placed alongside it. I believe this motion is futile as well.
Didn't Android SDK on Windows use qemu & haxm for years already?
I'm happy to do so. But in the end should we even need to do this crap? Isn't it just so obvious how bad this is that our representatives should be fighting it without calls? It just baffles me.
It depends. DP- are for rentals which often includes loss of rental income, HO- are for homeowners. Almost all US policies exclude flooding, which is a special insurance. There’s also umbrella insurance for special situations beyond personal or homeowners insurance.

For anything broken that can’t be fixed or replaced to the original value, he should seek a diminished value claim.

I disagree. The FCC has a myriad of advisors with comprehensive knowledge about internet regulation. I'm sure they're being consulted on this.
Most of those have nothing to do with what “protest” means. It doesn’t just generically mean “participate in democracy”.
I hope the silicon stuff is OK; I prefer that as it's point of thermal breakdown is way past anything I want in my kitchen anyway (aside from direct open flames which I don't currently use but know some cooking does).

I also prefer the ceramic linings, since those are more likely to be OK in my mostly uneducated opinion. (However the type of material is different, and hopefully less likely to leach).
The relevant domain for regulations is economics. 45% agree or strongly agree compared to 14% disagree, which is a 3-1 ratio. Excluding the uncertain ones because they likely don't know much about the topic.

Could you give examples of what you think they don't understand?
