Only if they stay at that rate. I think what he means is that they were able to double production in a relatively short period of time. Perhaps they can do that again a few more times.

I'm hanging on to a ~2005 Bang & Olufsen 28" MX8000, in my opinion one of the greatest 4:3 CRT TVs ever made (not a flat tube, but absolute TOTL in every other aspect, including sound). I use it primarily for retro gaming, and although I have considered getting an Open Source Scan Convertor and plugging the consoles into my 27" LCD, there's just something about playing games on an SD 4:3 CRT.

> That’s just one type of consulting. If you pay T&M for a guy in GSA schedule or whatever, they’ll bill him as a Architect level 12 at $250/hr. Or a higher scale for a different position.

I'm not talking about consulting, I'm talking about standard T&M contracts. There is a limit to how much an individual can be billed out for, which by necessity limits their compensation. As for what people are billed at, the government auditors require proof of credentials and experience.

> Another example are service based contracts where the government pays a fixed price for delivery of one or more outputs. Those outputs might just happen to align with what particular employees do. These things are generally aligned to make the contractor more money vs the employee. But the employees are well compensated, and the overall deal is good enough that they don’t lose a lot of talent.

This generally happens at small contractors for small contracts. Contracts so small the big boys wouldn't even notice their existence (assuming they even qualify to bid). The vast majority of people working for government contractors are not in this position.

Learning a new framework is intimidating enough without potentially having to learn a new language on top of it. I work in the news business, among people who in many cases learned the bare minimum of JavaScript necessary to visualise data and tell interactive stories, so that's my natural constituency — beginner-to-intermediate/casual programmers, most of whom don't even know what TypeScript is.

There are TS-first frameworks, such as Angular, and they're off-putting to people who just want to build something.

My own experience in the public service was not so much of people unable to do their jobs but people unmotivated by them. My welcoming speech included the warning 'don't get attached to outcomes', and this was in a department disliked by the elected party where a lot of people had already been forced into early retirement.

Exactly. Generously donating to a charity (or worst case: an anti-abortion fund) has nothing to do with empathy. Even in church I have heard people say the most insensitive things about less fortunate people (sure, she was raped by this violent rapist, but she wants an abortion, tssk!). The most empathic, loving and caring people I know aren't in church.

Certainly the regretful state of health care in the USA is the result of myriad factors, very nuanced, and likely impossible to fix.

But ... AU / UK doesn't have quite the 'two party politics' that I think parent was referring to. In your follow-up you even acknowledged that there are two parties in coalition in AU now. Traditionally they've been aligned, but they're separate parties. Parties outside the three most popular have substantial followings, and are definitely not fringe, like they appear to be in the US. Actual independent representatives are also not uncommon.

In the US, each federal election consistently comes down to the choice between two people.

In AU, ostensibly the house of representatives will select the leader from amongst themselves, once they themselves have been voted in. Normally this has a predictable outcome, but I think we're slowly moving away from that -- in the most recent federal election around 25% of voters did not vote for one of the two major groups.

This ratio is growing, and my (perhaps naive) hope is that we're slowly heading towards something closer to actual democracy here in AU. Either way it's kilometres ahead of the US political scene, even if it's currently populated by personalities aspiring to similarly cynical behaviour.

I also note that you say you vote in both countries, but twice misspelled the Australian Labor Party as Labour.
Very true. While chasing American Dream people of America have become very much business minded and profit-centric. American egoism basically means looking for "Whats in it for me?" everywhere.

How have I done so? Part of the contract negotiations on a time and materials contract concerns the billing rates for the personnel who will perform on the contract. The government has a schedule of what it is willing to pay for certain domain expertise and levels of experience.

Wrong decade my friend.
I am not a scientist or a MD but I always thought there was a strange logic in using immunotherapy against cancer.

Virtually all chemotherapies cause depression of the immune system, and it makes sense for patients who have an advanced form of cancer, as metastasis has a lot in common with wound healing [0].

Even NSAIDs are known to slow metastasis.

So in my lay person view I have problems to understand how increasing the activity of the immune system would help.

That's because neither you nor anything in your diet (nor anything in your diet's diet) has titanium teeth and jaws.

The Earth's crust is 3.6% calcium, and we get more than enough of that in our diet...it's 5% iron. There's even a lot of titanium - fully 0.6%, much higher than 'rare' elements like carbon! [0]

I don't think we'd have any trouble getting it if the metabolic and biological systems that are employed to get us calcium were instead employed to produce titanium.

You are right. These kind of tax loopholes should also be available to individuals. Then when there are no resources for governance and public services the debate can begin in earnest.

But wait, without an operational advanced society companies like Google and others cannot exist. If Google doesn't pay taxes someone else has to.

Loopholes don't just exist, they are created for the express purpose by lobbying, corporate capture and entrenched interests who are are adept at getting their way. Tax consultants like Deloitte and others are often writing the laws and then advising corporates how to work around them. Everyone knows how this works.

Since this kind of evasion does not benefit the average user, american society or anyone apart from Google it follows the only people who will defend them are the Google ecosystem, yet this thread is full of defenders. Why would anyone point to other companies doing the same thing as a defense, surely as average americans this should concern us even more, that it's a trend.

It's this social management by corporate interests that has completely derailed online discussions and makes everything toxic. Think about it, why would anyone come to HN to defend tax evasion by Google and unless readers can push back, self serving vested interests, the immature and trolls will destroy online discussion.

Yeah pedantically you can nothing but Oreos and be "vegan". But FTA:

"In a cohort of 4384 Taiwanese Buddhists, vegetarian men had approximately half of the rate of diabetes (OR: 0.49, 95% CI: 0.28–0.89), and vegetarian post-menopausal women had one-quarter the rate of diabetes (OR: 0.25, 95% CI: 0.15–0.42), compared with their omnivorous counterparts, despite statistical adjustment for body mass index and other factors. Interestingly, the omnivores in this study consumed a predominantly plant-based diet with little meat or fish, again implying that small amounts of meat contribute significantly to the development of insulin resistance"

And the idea that fat = calories in - calories burned is a simplistic view that no serious nutritionist on either side of the debate believes.

Intel Confronts Potential ‘PR Nightmare’ With Reported Chip Flaw
Honestly I'd probably be fine with a combined Swedish & English keyboard for most of my daily interactions (also Swede's in general and in the tech sector in particular mix in a lot of english).

However being half dane close to the german border and with a interest in language I do occasionally use other languages as well which results in me having 6 more active keyboards, and while I mostly toggle between Swedish, English and some occasional emoji it's quite a hassle to shift though half a dozen keyboards every other time.
There is more opportunity because of a lot of different things one of them being culture, another access to capital, access to global markets, another being big English speaking country, another being a much bigger reliance on civil society to take care of many of the things that governments take care of in Europe and of course the military.

The US is actually not doing well on a lot of individual parameters but if you look at everything as a whole it just ends up being a country with more opportunity than any other country and I would challenge you to find any country that's better than the US in those terms.

When it comes to healthcare geography and immigration is related because of the way a single payer social healthcare system works.

The US have to deal with immigration both legal and illegal. You can't just give 11mio illegal immigrants access to to healthcare just as people who immigrate much later haven't been paying to the system their whole lives.

Furthermore because of the distance if you want to provide equal treatment it's going to be very expensive or you have to spend a lot of money on transportation.

These are just some of the issues which normally gets completetly ignored but are actually crucial to understanding why the US can't be the same as European countries.

It's not timing the segfault delivery itself, the idea is to time another read of your own address space after the fault to see if it's been prefetched or not.

Well you can't eat it and it doesn't keep you warm. At some point you'll have to spend it. I don't think people spend money because they are aware of inflation anyway. They spend it because they want something. If people are encouraged to think twice about what they need or want, is that really such a bad thing?
I've spent the last seven years in Asia watching very skinny people eat huge plates full of rice that would shock the average American. I always have to ask for less rice than they usually dish out because I can't finish it all. Yet these people are mostly skinny as rails. And no, calories are not just calories.
Government setting rates for medicare/medicaid reimbursement is what has driven up prices. One of the brilliant aspects of market economics is that, if allowed to operate freely, the market would establish price points for all levels of service. Government involvement is preventing the market from functioning as it should.

That's a fairly insightful observation in that in the old days in the agricultural high carb west we balanced the obesity causing nature of extremely high carb diets against malnourishment, internal parasites, and periodic regular famines. We eliminated all three in the last century while keeping the ultra high carb diet, in fact boosting the carb intake to levels never seen before, and unsurprisingly the obesity level exploded.

For example five minutes with google searching for "khmer malnurishment" will find that about a third of the kids have some kind of malnutrition problem. Admittedly those stats come from people who's salaries depend on the problem existing and are therefore untrustworthy, but I'm sure real world rates none the less exceed a quarter.

Kinda the whole point of the obesity epidemic in the post-green revolution west is we don't have 1/3 of the population dying of scurvy regardless of how much carb they eat, and by definition we never ever fast or have any carb intake limit at all.

Its entirely possible that an ultra high carb diet as experienced in the west until the 1970s is perfectly stable as long as you have repetitive unintentional fasts (aka famines) and massive infestation of tapeworms and other intestinal parasites combined with universal vitamin deficiency such that everyone's a little sick all the time.

Its interesting to think about intestinal parasite eradication in terms similar to current discussion of probiotics and antibiotics in food. Tapeworms are gross, but so is dying 20 years earlier due to obesity... Its not a huge step in the probiotic marketing sense from unicellular parasites to multicellular parasites.
Yes, agreed entirely -- I didn't mean that more things should be privatised (I actually think many things should either remain, or be re-, nationalised). I meant that government should be acting in a way that reflects the will of an informed, thoughtful, responsible, empathetic society ... rather than 'inflicting' responsibility upon its citizens.

Weird writing here by ALJ. The differences between illegal, decriminalized, legal, and mandated are important. I think we in the US have grown to learn the differences a little better lately due to marijuana. It's illegal Federally, some states have decriminalized it, and some states have completely legalized it; no states have yet to mandate marijuana use.
When HDTV was getting started, the TV you wanted was the Sony XBR Trinitron. There was a reason that Best Buy didn't put them in the television display area with all the then-new LCD and Plasma flatscreens - because it had a far better picture and was half the cost (even at $1400).

They weighed 200 lbs (90kg) and nearly all of it was at the front with that thick cylindrical tube face. So you definitely needed a strong stand for them and you'd also want to add a strap to secure it to the wall so it wouldn't fall over on a child or pet.
