what's the alternative to fee for service? At the end of the day, even if you abstract out these costs to bundled payments or other things that we saw in ACA, there's still a price attached to every service provided. Wouldn't that be the only way for the government to how much to budget for healthcare costs?
I believe the comment you're replying to is satire (about how everything is a problem that can be solved with a blockchain).
"...and this is how Captain Mercer met Picard's mother."
I'm a Canadian physician, and this is not a correct statement. Nowhere in Canada are you allowed to cherry-pick patients.
I agree. As an engineer or programmer, you tend to get immediate and pretty conclusive feedback about whether the system you are building works.

You can iterate and fix your mistakes.

My experience with the world of medicine is that it is way less scientific and evidence based. This is because it can be more complex, but it does lead to doctors being able to ignore the fact that their treatments don't work.

Bad doctors can bury their mistakes and blame other factors, whereas bad engineers quickly get found out.
>> moved relative to a conductor

Yes. The magnet is stationary and the spinning drive plate is moving the data, the conductor, very rapidly relative to the magnet. (imho the real issue is the large metal box surrounding the drive plates. It's hard to feel a magnet from inside a metal house.)
That sounds really tough. Yep, children like all people are all a bit different. I wish you luck and hope you find what works for you.

The child is a danger to other kids and should be expelled from the day care. If the day care isn't willing to do that you should find a new safer day care for your child.

--edit:

I just want to add that as was posted this behavior has been ongoing for over 1 year now, and the child is physically assaulting other children by hard biting (possibly breaking skin??), scratching and hitting "full force" another child on their head.

The severity and chronic nature of the bad behavior I think requires attention that this particular day care has not been able to provide. Additionally it is putting the other children continually at risk.

If these were adults, we wouldn't think twice about removing the individual. However since these are "just" preschoolers - is it somehow acceptable for kids to be subjected to these kinds of dangers? We rationalize that it's ok to send our children into such a stressful and potentially dangerous environment - and sometimes it is indeed "kids being kids" - but not in this case imo.

I respect and admire the compassion shown by some posts here to try to "fix" the child who is misbehaving. But the safety of the other children also has to be considered.

My son's daycare had a similar child who would bite and throw things when he didn't get his way. They tried to work with the child and the parents but after a while they expelled the child for the safety of the other children.
I was recently struck by the thought that the blockchain might be ideally suited for the creation of some kind of "digital stamp". As with real stamps, different artists could publish and sell stamp designs of varying quantities. For uniqueness, perhaps aberrations could be algorithmically introduced based on each stamp's unique blockchain hash. The stamps could then be used to creatively sign communications and transactions, with inbound stamps showing up in the recipient's digital stamp collection. (Or maybe they could somehow be tied in to miner fees, to make them function more like the real thing.)

With the blockchain, it seems we finally have a way of assigning scarcity to digital assets. The only problem would be the social value of such goods, but things like CryptoKitties make it clear that this would hardly be a problem. People seem to love collecting rare things, even if the rareness is strictly algorithmic.

I think it would feel great to receive a communication signed by a particularly rare or interesting e-stamp!

For the same article it still costs China less to send to the US than the other way around because the former counts as a developing country, though the unbalanced volume does compound the problem. After all the scheme was not drafted with many small parcels of personal imports in mind and it will take decades to fix.

It's also easier for misconfigurations to lead to security issues since your switch resetting to default means your network is now connected directly to the internet. I had this happen after the power went out last time, luckily I'm on a PPPoE connection so it wasn't really connected to the net. Replaced my NUC + managed switch setup after that.
Please don't, it's absolutely possible to turn things around and live a wonderful and happy life. I can tell you this from personal experience.

I've spent the past few years searching for ways of overcoming emotional and personality disorders in myself. Looking back, it's pretty clear that there were significant symptoms of narcissistic/borderline/histrionic personality disorders, that had devastating effects on my relationships and my career.

I've worked on myself daily for the past few years to understand and overcome these traits. In the past 1-2 years I've come out of the tunnel and am now living a very different life, with a thriving career, a wonderful home, dramatically improving relationships with my friends and family, a great relationship with a wonderful, caring partner, and every reason to be optimistic about the future.

Just 3 years ago I was like you, thinking it was all futile and questioning whether it was worthwhile to carry on.

Please get in touch. It's hard to find good advice and support but I think my experiences and learnings could be valuable to you.

Please, you are valued and loved, and there is hope.

I had done some very basic research on it and found that the performance for the 'Lightmass' program used in Unreal Engine called Swarm was not ideal https://forums.unrealengine.com/community/off-topic/1388243-...

From that thread: "Definitely not the threadripper - there were some benchmarks scattered around in other topics and it's actually slower at compiling and lighting builds than my 7820X, while costing more to build a system with."

But not sure if I should trust those opinions from the dev community as the benchmarks aren't too sophisticated.

I'll continue doing more research on those thank you! I think dual epyc could be interesting for the cost.

Outcomes (including complication rates) are typically recorded based on history, clinical examination and lab and imaging results.

- History and physical exam are extremely subjective.

- Medical notes and records can be massaged to sound better than reality (The patient didn't have a stroke after their operation. They had "minor lower limb weakness which we anticipate will improve over the next few weeks") or attributed to all sorts of things (patient's cognitive function hasn't worsened, they have some "fatigue" following surgery).

- People can be very selective about which studies are ordered.

- Junior and ancillary staff are reluctant to report poor outcomes about established senior people.

I'll give a real-life example:
Professor X is a "world-renowned expert" on neurosurgery at an academic mecca. He claims a "1-2%" complication rate on aneurysm surgeries in the clinic and at any conferences. His residents know he performs outdated surgeries with spectacularly bad outcomes but no one would be willing to talk about this openly unless they want to torpedo their career prospects.
Yep. Here's an interesting list of extensions as of a couple years ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/2z248l/language_ex... ... But that many extensions being pretty much necessary had definitely wore me down and turned me away from Haskell.

I doubt the lack of objective assessment an unfortunate accident.

More likely things are this way because the relevant people and institutions don't want their performance measured, and they have the power to keep things this way.

> - Price undercutting (at a loss) for your first N customers

Amazon is known to sell at loss in order to drive adoption or even hurt competitors. There is so much you can sell at loss, but Amazon can beat the crap out of it and sell much more at much higher losses and still be profitable in the aftermath.

I'd say, starting a price war against amazon is quite a dumb idea, if you are a lot smaller player.
The first season of any show is usually pretty bad compared to later episodes. Season one of South Park is unwatchable. Season one of TNG was so corny. Episodes like The Naked Now are hard to watch.

Do you have any evidence that majority of left parties members doesn’t support Venezuelan government despite the officials statements?

The truth is that every major left party in Brazil supports Maduro (PT, PSOL, PCB, PCdoB, PDT, …). Sure there are dissidents, but it’s a unpopular opinion on the left-wing.

For example, take a look on this post from the leftist congressman Jean Wyllys criticizing Maduro[1]. The vast majority of comments are from leftists backlashing him or trying to argue about why Maduro measures were good and necessary.

The real reason why both continue to be developed in parallel is industry politics. HDMI is the product of consumer electronics companies while DisplayPort is from PC hardware manufacturers. For various reasons these two groups rarely cooperate. One big point of contention is royalties. The consumer electronics companies like standards they can charge royalties for, while PC companies like royalty free standards.
Does it seem brutish or incivil to stoop to physical means to adjust your child? Maybe you should cultivate reason. I wouldn't have written this comment except your comment about the enlightened parenting movement jumping the shark seriously rubbed me the wrong way.. as if to say we should not try and do better, we should just do things the way theyve been done for most of time. Its such a backwards and harmful perspective. We see problems that we can fix, why wouldn't we? Does it threaten your parenting style? Will your kids not respect you if you withhold violence?
I want to see the list of applications written in haskell that are useful and not used for programming a computer.

This list has seemed shorter than one might expect in the past given the interest among programmers in the haskell language (this includes my own interest fwiw). A list of applications written in haskell that are used for something that isn't programming a is a useful datapoint that tells us something about the strengths and weaknesses of the language - we can argue about the subtleties of the meaning of that data point but it is useful data.

I've got

pandoc,
xmonad (window manager),
git annexe

(spoiler alert!) The premise IS an emotional one. The entire construct of the episode is to find a place where logic doesn't rule the day(gender issues are, today, far from solved).

Dunno, it's a super wishy-washy idea! This is mostly me thinking out loud. I was recently looking through my dad's massive collection of old Soviet stamps, and it really made me wish for some sort of digital equivalent. Intuitively, it seems to me that there probably exists some alignment of cryptocurrency concepts to make it work.

Same reason I have a bookshelf instead of just a list of pdfs and ebooks; its a lot nicer to browse through a curated collection physically.

I don't like caring about individual copies though, so having a way to recreate them cheaply on lost/damage/borrowed-but-never-returned is pretty useful imo. I get to treat it both digitally and physically on preference.

Ofc, all the stuff I haven't watched, like but wouldn't recommend, etc will never leave digital. The ideal scenario is just that I can pull a dvd off a shelf when I recommend it, instead of scrambling for a usb or mega or scp; if its possible, physical sharing is a lot nicer than digital
Right, series take time to find their feet, I get that. My concern was more than the fundamental direction was flawed.

Your point about trains is strong. China also is pushing new train systems into southeast Asia. There's a project going on in Thailand now that will see a "medium speed" train run from the northern border (Nong Khai) to the south. I believe at the northern border it will connect to lines running from China through Laos. At the south I'm sure it will be extended through Malaysia and on to probably Singapore in the future. China will be able to ship by rapid rail to a large chunk of southeast Asia in the not so distant future.

We had one instance where it backfired so far. About two months ago I overdid it a bit when telling him to cut out going number two in the shower/bath (happened 2-3 times during potty training). That traumatised him about bathing, to the point where he was scared of going to take a bath, instead wanted to sit on the toilet for 1-2h. Let's say he already showed me where my boundaries are...

> What would an EU hacker news look like?

It would look like the current EU Hacker News: nonexistent.

Despite having, relatively speaking, [some islands of] fairly decent English education, EU doesn't have broad native-level English literacy. The level of discussions in English is fairly low, and people are not as likely to recognize or casually learn cross-disciplinary jargon like full time English speakers.

It's relatively straightforward for a native English speaker to enter into discussions at the level of HN, but for somebody who does not use English absolutely every day in every function of daily life, it'll be a chore.

> It is apologising for them when you say 'there is blame on both sides'.

Blaming the Venezuelan government and left wing groups for all of the recent violence is too general. In this case there really is blame on both sides.

I was recently reading
https://www.jacobinmag.com/2017/07/venezuela-maduro-helicopt... , which condemns the Maduro government, wealthy right wing Venezuelans, and outside corporations who really wish Maduro would hurry up and leave so they can start trading in Venezuelans mineral and fossil fuel wealth.

The Conservative papers are totally trying to glue, at least in the minds of UK voters, Venezuela to Corbyn! I remember headlines like 'Corbyn's future plan for the UK: VENEZUELA'
Ask HN: Your favourite outstandingly creative/informative YouTube channels?
I've learnt so far about Captain Disillusion and Every Frame a Painting from people on HN. Thank you! My favourite for years has been Vi Hart. I haven't done much youtube channel exploring at all, so no channel is too obvious. I thought I'd ask for more, seems it's been a lil while since anyone did.

So - what are your favourite art/maths/music/film/science/technology-related channels featuring makers of incredibly awesome videos? Other subjects are fine too. (Vi Hart is fascinating whatever the subject. That kind of thing.) Thanks in advance :-)

Doesn't have to be youtube.
Is this possible when trying to intercept and/or otherwise mess with system calls or stdlib function calls in a language that statically links all/most of its libraries? Are Go binaries affected? Statically-linked Rust binaries? If not, this is (depending on how you look at it) either a security point in favor of those languages or a hindrance to patching/debuggability.
I don't understand how this helps hospital management once it enters the feedback loop. It does incentivize them to not get there in the first place, but I bet when you analyze the tradeoffs they make to forestall it you won't be happy either.

This is especially a problem is when you have a lone hospital serving a poor area. The patients don't have money, maybe they don't have insurance. If the hospital starts cranking out bad results, it'll just deteriorate.

The market model only kinda works in theory for wealthy populations with multiple hospitals nearby.

It is a consolidation but CVS is a consumer focused company, which is something the US Healthcare system needs more of direly.

Part of the problem with health insurance tied to a job in the US is the fixed market that is shrouded from consumers leading to horrible pricing and service. Employment handling healthcare, in addition to a fixed pricing market, also harms the individual market due to horrible grouping, invades privacy, makes it harder to change jobs or start a company, and on top of that fuels ageism as costs go up with age in health. Employers should have no part in your healthcare, pay people more to go get it is all that should be allowed.

All other insurance types are consumer focused for auto, life, home and more. CVS taking over Aetna could be a great force in the market to make other companies get competitive on the consumer front. Aetna and BCBS are two of the worse non consumer friendly insurers around, they really hate dealing with individuals and small companies.
