The future I and many others envision is one in which that's all taken care of by machines. From power generation to maintenance, etc.

I believe we have yet to fully appreciate the ability of a developed economy to produce jobs and work for people to do. Even if we automate the entirety of the food production, mining and energy generation industries, new forms of work will spring up to absorb anyone that may have been displaced by automation.

Whenever some work is automated, people insert themselves on top of that layer of production to form a new layer. This process continues ad infinitum. At least that's been the case for the entire history of organized human society.
Another buzzword. All of these things already happen - I feel like this post would have been relevant in 2010.

We already have sufficient technology, agricultural & manufacturing output, and logistics in place to feed, clothe, and assumably shelter every human on the planet. Social organization away from surplus value hoarding by big capital seems to be the key missing piece of the puzzle.

I remember reading it takes several days on super beefy hardware just to import all of the data from openstreetmap and openaddresses they they use to run mapzen.

Trump censures 'brutal and corrupt' Iranian administration, Iran responds-
I'm not sure where you live and you're not providing any links or statistics to back this claim up, so it's difficult for me to respond to what you're trying to claim here. If you read the link I provided, you would see that they use cancer, heart disease, and diabetes mortality as a shorthand for patient outcomes in significant health events, and that while the US healthcare system ranks reasonably well in cancer treatment, it is significantly behind other developed nations in treating heart disease and diabetes. They also provide statistics regarding mortality rates in various populations, and the US lags other developed nations in basically all of those populations.

Your point about dentistry is interesting, although also mostly unsupported, and I'm having a difficult time finding good statistics about dental care, spending, and outcomes. Anecdotally, dental care in the United States is sharply linked to money; people with money have good/great teeth and excellent dental care, people without it frequently have major issues with their teeth. I don't know how that compares to other countries.

I can understand why management would want to choose Atlassian.

* The idea of the "Atlassian Ecosystem", in that buying more of their services seems to work better.

* On-premise for most of their tools

* Pricing. For example, Bitbucket Server - $26,400 for 500-1000 users /year [1]. GitHub Enterprise - $2,500 per 10 users / year [2]. Self-hosted GitLab - $39 or $199 per user / year (Starter compared to Enterprise Edition Premium package) [3]. If at a 1000 users, that is $26,400 compared to $250,000 or $39,000/$200,000.

* "Other big companies use them"

* "Reporting and metrics"

* "There is a plugin for that"

But, I and most of the other developers I have worked with hate every single Atlassian product we use. JIRA eventually turns into a micromanagement tool with all of the customization people think they want.
People seem to think that because it is customizable, it will solve their problems. It always seems to take up more time and resources to try and bend their tools to do anything useful than it is to just say, "well, I guess we don't really need that".

I don't know why everyone is saying this is a falsehood, but this will be my last comment on the subject.

Read https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf. Read section 6, incentives. Note transaction fees. Read the conclusion. Note "We have proposed a system for electronic transactions without relying on trust." None of this has anything to do with being a currency, or being low-overhead.
Sure if you limit your life to Wikipedia that's fine. Hell, you don't even need an internet connection for it. Just download it all once in a while. But the rest of us like using places like Amazon, Slack, Google Maps, etc.

I fully support not making content delivery rely on JS. But I disabling JS because it can be used for intrusive ads is a lot like taking the wheels off your car because it can take you to the mall where you might see big for sale signs and annoying sales people. Effective, but stupid.
I hear this a lot, but I'd love to hear what people prefer better. Also, I don't get the argument that JIRA is difficult to use. I can open a bug, fill out a few fields, assign it to someone, etc. easy peasy. Almost all the other tools I hear as substitutes are decent only when you have a few devs on the team.

Personally, I don't mind JIRA and the Atlassian toolset as they are so much better than what we used to use in the old days.
> The scaling and transaction cost issues that have been on display for the past couple of months should scare anyone heavily invested in it.

There are definitely issues, but no one has managed to solve them so far. A lot of competing cryptocurrencies claim to have solved the challenges that Bitcoin faces, but there hasn't been any fundamental innovation in this space since Bitcoin. Except for MimbleWimble[1], which has made advances in terms of both scalability and privacy. All other solutions out there just move further towards centralization, while in the process gaining scalability (which everyone already knows is trivially possible).

Is Apple Buying Netflix?  Why You Can Ignore Some Analyst Predictions
Just because it’s new to you, doesn’t mean that moral panics somehow didn’t exist before the internet. More importantly as with the case of sexual harassment and assault, the internet can offer a platform that doesn’t necessarily require panic to talk about basic morality.
You are correct: the article states that the forest is Aokigahara forest.
> "You can read that and have a pretty good idea of what’s going on. Even without knowing anything about Stimulus or looking at the controller code itself. It’s almost like pseudocode. That’s very different from reading a slice of HTML that has an external JavaScript file apply event handlers to it. It also maintains the separation of concerns that has been lost in many contemporary JavaScript frameworks." [source](https://github.com/stimulusjs/stimulus/blob/master/ORIGIN.md)

This might be a subjective matter of taste, but I find the React solution much uglier, harder to read, and less intuitive despite the fact that I've been writing React for a while now, and have never written Stimulus.

Here's my guess on why: React syntax has to be able to simultaneously account for JS syntax, HTML syntax, and its own API - all within one syntax that can't be optimized for any one of those use cases. Stimulus allows (forces?) you to leverage more focused HTML syntax where applicable, and javascript syntax where applicable while also letting you leverage your preferred flavors as you see fit (say HAML and CoffeeScript).
Apache uses them: https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/BrowseProjects.jspa?se...

I am not sure who the 'management' would be in their case.

Definitely far from clickbait in this particular case. It's hard to tell unless you are somewhat close to the field tho.
Adding to the other reply pointing out this is quite fundamental work, the point of these articles isn't really to announce new breakthroughs that happened last week, but rather to sketch major research themes that's been going on for the past couple of decades, but received little to no media coverage because they're highly technical.
Transaction costs are only a problem for one use case of Bitcoin (small payments). Other use cases, like hoarding and international remittances, aren't affected by it.

Bitcoin does scale, just not in the direction everyone thinks it should, which is transactions per second. It scales spectacularly well in two important other directions: number of validating nodes and hash rate.
So you have 2 versions of the code with a shared contract between the two. Isn't that exactly what the original criticism was, other than in this world your server and client both have packaged code that is likely redundant or at least not a clean abstraction?

Okay. So look at the pictures and think about that vs. Target. Which do you prefer? (Not rhetorical. What are your impressions? 3rd party readers/lurkers please chime in!)
This is explained by a comment from the author (bootywizard) above:

Author here - it does but it doesn't, which is why it doesn't always work so well. It never actually keeps track of the shapes in a seperate data model - the text itself is the only data model. When you resize, it retraces out the lines that need editing. I did this as the expected use case is for diagrams in code, where diagrams may be copy pasted in and out of the tool and I'd lose any underlying models that I was working with.

Patty Duke's Name Fraudulently Used to Oppose Net Neutrality, Says Son
Best article I've read this year. (Haha, but it's very good, if a little burdened with weird terminology.)

I have been through some similar experiences myself. Not as bad, but enough to find OP's story not-really-remarkable.

This is what we've got for healthcare in the USA. I wish it was fixable, but I do not believe it is. Powerful interests will resist or subvert any substantive change. (I do expect new "reforms" that will promise fixes and then pump even more money into the broken system, though.)

If you get sick, hope that it is something utterly routine that your applicable system will process without a hiccup. Failing that, expect this kind of craziness and prepare for it. Defensive record keeping and navigating bureaucracies will be necessary skills in 21st century USA.
The "Apple buys Disney" seemed more like people just dreaming up what they would do with umpteen trillion dollars and making a blog post out of it.

Apple buying Netflix makes slightly more sense given that their own streaming video offerings are not exactly taking the world by storm. I have no idea what they would do with Netflix after they bought them though. Apple's STB offerings already have a Netflix app I'm sure.

Theoretically, then, there should be a niche for an insurer who covers more, who treats you less shitty, but costs more.

Consider the example the OP gives is a patient who they're paying thousands of dollars a day for, rather than hundreds. They're paying several people to work for days just to figure out how the rules work. It's only marginally working for them.

And let's not forget that they are also fighting profiteering on the other side; is it inherently wrong that your insurance might not pay for a new brand-name medicine that costs 100x as much as a generic with only the barest minimum difference they could sneak past the FDA and get a patent for?

I have Kaiser. Kaiser is a special beast, but one thing it does do pretty well is talk to itself. Combining providers and insurance under one roof provides a lot of upside in knowing what will be covered (though it has the downside that you really don't have options if Kaiser isn't getting the job done).

I recently had the experience of setting up a procedure done by an entirely private (accepts no insurance) practice, because Kaiser wasn't coming through for me. I was shocked how easy it was.

In one phone call, I was able to set up a consult, and even a tentative date, for a fairly complicated (day-long) surgery. Craziest of all? I got a price estimate. (It was 5 figures, but I expected that)

That was something I thought just wasn't possible in the medical world. There's so many variables, they haven't seen my X-Rays, etc, etc, etc. But still they did that. Entirely for profit, though.

I'm not saying for profit is the answer to everything or anything - someone less fortunate than me wouldn't even be able to consider going outside of Kaiser. Just that there aren't any easy solutions. I'm surprised by the system almost every time I interact with it.
The Metro Extracts tool was super useful to a project my team and I worked on. Thank you Mapzen!
There's no way such easy access to prescription drugs could ever go wrong.
It appears that 73% of the labor cost of a health care organization is spent on trying to communicate with other health care organizations that have no defined interface.

So if it worked properly, US healthcare would cost one quarter if what it does. Less, once the people engaged in trying to talk to each other are no longer required. That's quite a statement.

I have to wonder:

Can intel release a drop in CPU that will avoid or mitigate this issue?

The infrastructure investment in intel cores is huge, if a drop in replacement lets me minimize downtime, re-gain performance and is "cost effective" compared to a cost prohibitive replacement does this result in intel having a sales INCREASE where it replaces bad silicon?

I don't know enough about this issue to speak to the issue either way, but I would love to hear if this fix is possible/viable.

Except that you are forgetting that WalMart is a more prevalent retailer in those areas.
Or someone in range of your Comcast router is using your xfinitywifi network.

Edit: this is incorrect apparently.
Why's that? Why would you want your server response and your client-side app to be different?
I think that’s it, but my journey to confirm it would be incredible.
Attrition from the Small Things
Anybody know if there is a hosted libpostal service? I didn't notice in the migration document. It's easy to include in our application if we need to but it's used infrequently and consumes a couple of gigabytes of memory so we've found it useful to call as a service when needed.
The thing is Java 9 will be end of live and receive no further updates after March 2018 (yes, that's three months away).

True, but there were quite dramatic changes to the JDK.
Just in case you want to buy another! /s

Always thought those types of ads were odd. I just bought the item you're advertising to me--and in most cases, why would I buy another one so soon?

In your case, I'm surprised it's not smart enough to say coffee maker purchased, how about we show some coffee bean ads? (And even in that case, you might make the argument that it'd be a second gift for your girlfriend.)

If I wanted a store of value, I would put my money in gold.
But the condition of poverty often entails one or more of these realities: a lack of income (joblessness); a lack of preparedness (education); and a dependency on government services (welfare). A.I. can address all three.

Wow, and not in a good way. Reading that makes me apoplectic. My first instinct is to write something full of swear words and insults that wouldn't meet HN guidelines.

First, poverty is gendered. One of the things that drives poverty for women is the cultural expectation that we provide caregiving to our own children and other relatives essentially for free and that society owes us nothing for this imposition on our time and energy. There are other factors, but that's a big one.

The next thing that drives poverty is various intractable personal problems, such as health issues, learning disabilities and mental health issues. One thing society can do to reduce the degree to which such issues separate the Haves from the Have Nots is to provide universal health care.

Dependency on government services is driven in part by poor design of services such that getting on them actively cripples your ability to get off of them. This entire article sounds like a snide way to blame poor people for their problems rather than look for actual solutions.

I can't believe they say in the same article that a) jobs are outright going away and b) the solution for unemployed people is superior job matching services. If there are no jobs to get, you don't have a matching problem.

This is such utter drivel. Wow.
You're looking at this from a more academic perspective than my comment implied. Really, it's the whole clusterf&*^ of software engineering being conflated with computer science, when they are really not the same thing in any way.

There is a lot of practical implementation history that people are often woefully ignorant of, and it leads them to tread the same paths over and over and over.

- Here are the core GNU command line utilities; make, sed, grep, etc. They are battle-tested, use them, don't rewrite them a dozen times in JavaScript
- Here is the progression of version control tools that people have used over time, and some reasons why we've moved on from SourceSafe and rcs to Git.
- Here's the history of how people have done databases, flat-file, vs sql vs nosql
- etc, etc, etc.
I agree, I'm saying that Target and Amazon would be an amazing intersection of two great umbrella brands.
I honestly don't know what sites you are visiting where ad blocking is such a problem. I guess I'd seen an odd clone of KAT and other torrenting sites that do this shit. It's annoying, I agree. But in my daily life I rarely encounter an ad that slips by my ad blocker that makes me drop everything I am doing to go digging into how to kill it. On the contrary, I find my ad blocker more annoying sometimes in the other direction where my bank's site doesn't work and I have to disable it to get the site to e.g. show me my balance or make a credit card payment. I don't see how the savings in time will add up over a lifetime.
"IPs are just too ephemeral to trust for any form of location data"

That is just policy decision. It would, for example, be possible to declare that no single IP should be used for more than two customers during a single X hour block.
