Our lack of universal and convenient primary care hinders the formation of small or new large businesses. Our medical care quality is low due to lack of data sharing that national health services enjoy for free. Our oddly expensive but low performing healthcare is a pathetic vestige of our apartheid racist labor history here in the USA. These issues do not concern fancy elective medicine we also sadly fetishize amidst our ongoing dysfunctioning. We prefer endless pitches of futuristic delusions than reliable heartbeat services. We will continue to suffer this needless hamstringing until we catch up with civilized people who can add, subtract, multiply and divide.

I think it is well understood in economic theory that when you can prevent competition in the marketplace, you can charge significantly more for for your product/service. After all, if the people making 1/3 the amount the union workers were making were allowed to take the jobs in the auto industry, they would. Who wouldn't want to triple their income by simply changing employers?

However, I'm not sure that is the same as the "rising tide lifting all boats" that we're discussing here. The results seen in your example are limited to the lucky handful who have gained market protectionism from the rest of the people in the industry.

This is my frustration as well. Today's web (as seen through search engines) is just content marketing.

And to reach such a page, you have to go through ads on the results page, then a newsletter popup (sometimes two, these days), then ads all around the content (which is still marketing, remember).

This is nuts.

We're actively working on APIs to hide individual tabs, and the entire tab bar, which will bring that functionality back to Firefox.

Individual tab hiding is already implemented in Firefox 59 (Beta / Developer Edition), but currently behind the "extensions.webextensions.tabhide.enabled" pref as we iron out final UX / security / privacy concerns. Still, tangible progress is happening.

It's easy - there's a search link at the bottom of most pages, and I just put in "doctor die" to see what other people have said before.

But submitting is easy, especially with the bookmarklet, and when something looks good the temptation is just to submit without worrying whether it's been seen before.

Certainly I do it.

> We're going to set these up in every state and let any states that actually want the bought-and-paid-for FCC decision to have it.

Not sure who “we” is, but neutrality advocates are, in fact, challenging the FCC decision in court, trying to do that in Congress, and presumably will continue that effort in, at least, the 2018 midterm Congressional elections.

They are also working at the state level, but not exclusively.
I think the real tipping point is income level as an independent worker. Personally, I'm in software and got a 60% pay increase when I jumped to 1099. My wife didn't have health insurance offered before, and she still doesn't. But the $680/month I'm paying is easily covered by the increased income. (I was paying around $300/month even when my employer offered health insurance. And my coverage is actually much better now.) But I'm not a typical contractor, just a typical software contractor.
Answer: Since there's no way all the cities in the US and Canada would actually agree to such a pact, so Amazon will just pick one of the remaining cities.

I agree that cities should not be offering free land to a company. But it seems OK to offer tax breaks, considering how much taxes a company like Amazon will be paying in the long term. (Not to mention the even more significant taxes the employees will pay.)

Actually for the air BnB rental, I think it would be real sweet to think of some way you can make procedural inputs from suggestions from the current guests, and send the resulting design to them in a choice of mug or mouse mat or tea cloth or what have you. The dates of their stay and so on . . But be sure to advertise on the output, naturally. Anything you can do to multiply good word of mouth is (deductable) pennies well spent.
I don't really see how you can justify your position, except as someone who finds code easier to read than math. People like that are mainly computer science people, who have had years of training staring at code, while there exists swathes of people out there in the science and math world who find code impenetrable.

So code is certainly not "much more relevant when describing a procedure" than a simple well defined equation.

And badly written articles explaining equations is not a reason to say that code is more readable or more relevant.

Math can be ambiguous, I will give you that, but a well written article should not have ambiguous terms.

Also, I don't want to go back and forth arguing that badly written math is less readable than well written code or that well written math code is more readable than badly written code.

My only quibble is that the location data for one of my "Favourite Places" is wrong - it would be nice to be able to manually move the location bubbles.
You're naming products or companies and not technologies or processes. Moreover many of these companies are privately traded and their balance sheet is unknown. These companies could be healthy or they could be struggling and we have no idea.

So what is your metric of "cutting edge"? It sounds like you're optimizing for small business strategy? Seems honestly like VC funding is the biggest indicator here.
It's a bit silly, but I love that you can zoom out the circle map to make it more of an overview of your location in the larger context of a city or country even.

It's a nice little touch.
It's fascinating to me that people don't point out that you can get many of the benefits of microservices with all your code in a monolith, indeed, all in a single runtime. Of the 4 benefits he lists (1: independent development, 2: independent deployment 3: independent scalability, 4: reusability) you can mostly get 2-4 by deploying your monolith to different server pools that are deployed and routed to independently.

Microservices get to be necessary for large dev teams, but probably a lot later than most teams think.
IMO this is one of the many different manifestations of a financial squeeze (or at least a "power shift") against middle- and lower-class workers that has been growing over 50 years.

What I find intellectually-interesting is the idea that it's a big hetereogenous system where different parts and aspects are "crumpling" (both concurrently and sequentially) rather than one big politically-noisy snap.

Push kids towards college for earning-potential; defer usual retirement ages; have fewer children; live in a smaller place; both spouses work, live in the city, since you need a denser job-supply for both spouses to be hired and commute; work a second part-time job; etc.
If BEAM is allocating memory it must either be copying a message from one process to another, allocating space in a process for its stack, or for some bookkeeping like to spawn a new process. In the first two cases why doesn't it just kill the process and send the usual link and monitor messages to let other Erlang processes handle the failure?
Except none of that helps someone who doesn't have one of those Amazon jobs, and sees their rent soar anyway.

Oh bullshit.

Sure, there's a lot of newer tech in medical. But for a ton of routine medicine uses generic drugs, simple testing (scales, blood pressure, simply viewing abnormalities), and cheap care. For "routine medicine" this should be negligible cost - it's only because of systemic garbage I can't just go to the pharmacist and buy metformin without going through a fucking paywall.

Sure, I get something weird and/or strange, sure all bets are off.

As a "healthy" person, if I'm feeling overwhelmed or (situationally) depressed I find that I almost always feel better in the morning after a long sleep. It may recur as the day wears on, but sleep is extremely helpful. That makes sense if people with depression experience the opposite effect.

What I wonder is if those sleep-deprived individuals are experiencing a semi-manic state. I once had severe insomnia for a period of two weeks, and during that time I slept maybe 0-3 hours per night (typically zero). Early on I experienced manic effects. Toward the end, I felt like I was going completely nuts.
>Its beyond frustrating the amount of attacks you face for inquiring about the livelihoods and future of people whose jobs are replaced by AWS processes.

That is because jobs aren't a hand-out. Somehow, we still have basically full employment 200 years after society started automating away jobs. You face ridicule for bitching about jobs lost to AWS for the same reason people now ridicule Luddites from 150 years ago.

The other part of precondition hell was recisions, where if you had an expensive condition, the insurance company would look for evidence of a (potentially unrelated) pre-existing condition that had not been disclosed, cancel your insurance based on that (perhaps refunding all the premiums you had paid, for all the good that did you) and call it a day; as part of ending preexisting condition exclusions, the ACA ended recision.

> This far exceeds the 15% markup for self-employment tax.

It's not even 15% difference, as the salaried workers also pay half of it, so the difference is just the employer portion, which is paid by self-employed contractors.

I've been paying for my own insurance (a bronze plan) for the last three years, as it was cheaper than adding me to our family plan. It wasn't very expensive (started around $300/month in WA), but was going up about 20% each year, so this year we switched to a high deductible plan.

> It could just pass references to memory addresses of the object

How? They're different processes running in different threads. If it's raw binary data then it has to at least be copied, which will often be a lot less efficient than just copying text. You can't just memcpy complex .net objects though.

There's nothing stopping unix programs from piping raw binary data, it's just not generally done because it's usually a bad idea.

A friend of mine is an attorney. His client had a judgement against a relatively small bank. In his words, the bank was being a "horse's ass" and not paying.

He got a judge to sign off on the sheriff assisting in collection. The client was about to be a proud owner of the servers run by the bank.

When the sheriff arrived, the bank manager immediately called their attorney to call the client's attorney (my friend) and tell him they're writing a check.

> Except for that minor technical advantage of actually being on a standard keyboard.

The IBM/Unicomp APL keyboard is a standard PS/2 PC/USB HID keyboard. Literally the only special thing about the IBM/Unicomp APL keyboards is what is printed on the keycaps (which you can buy separately https://www.pckeyboard.com/page/product/USAPLSET).

I don't understand this - how do people on Hacker News not realize that your keyboard does not determine your character encoding? You can easily remap your keys to whatever you want, have multiple layouts for human and computer programming languages, change the modifier and functions keys, whatever you want. All with the keyboard you already have; laptop, external, it doesn't matter.

Somehow multiple layouts are not a big deal for multi-lingual people, why is it so confusing for programmers?
Thanks for the kind words and the suggestion. We will add a landscape format and new styles (color schemes) in the near future. Which style is your favorite?
I have noticed that too. If you drive for Uber you don't get much insight into the company, you never talk to a boss to learn something and you don't learn from coworkers. You also don't develop a brand or reputation for yourself.

> You have to a) pay to open up a channel with each person you wish to use it

This simply isn't true. You open one channel and then payments are routed over channels to your destination. It's no different to TCP/IP in this way and the reason why that analogy is used a lot in describing the network

Having a one channel single destination can be done with Bitcoin alone and the new timelock transactions - the purpose of lightning is automating these transacations and the routing between channels

Opening a channel in lightning is no different to having a balance in a wallet or a bank account - you don't notice that it is "locked". Channels can also create other channels using channel factories[0]. This all happens under the hood much in the same way somebody accessing YouTube knows little about routing infrastructure.

There really is a lot of FUD about Lightning and they get repeated a lot by people who should know better. There is now a series of simple infographics that explain what Lightning is and how it works so there shouldn't be any more excuses for such simple misinformation being repeated[1][2][3][4][5]

Your specific claim about one channel = one receiver is addressed in [5]

I think the HN audience should go out and try it themselves and read the paper. It's the most eye-opening tech experience i've had since reading the Bitcoin white paper.

If you've been kicking yourself about not getting into Bitcoin early - you have a new opportunity with Lightning now. There are only hundreds of nodes at the moment and only a couple of vendors accepting payments on the testnet and a ton of opportunity to build an entirely new infrastructure around it.

In my state you can get a court order to a court officer to seize property. Do not do it yourself. I once had a judgment against someone and I hired the court officer to go to the defendant's house and start towing his cars. I immediately got a call and cash in my hand within an hour.
Totally understand, and thank you for taking the time to provide feedback.

In most cases our annual price is equivalent to 1-3 months of a competitor's monthly price. You mentioned AWS so I'm going to use them as an example, even though it's not an apples to apples comparison. Their m5.xlarge is similar to our X-Large plan (16GB RAM + 4vCPUs). I'll ignore that it doesn't include storage or bandwidth, for simplicity. The m5.xlarge (with no storage or bandwidth) costs $140/month on-demand, which exceeds the annual price of the X-Large plan. If you reserve an m5.xlarge for 1 year (paid upfront) with AWS, the cost is a little less than $1K, which is close to 10X the cost of our X-Large.

If customers cancel their server with us after the 14-day refund period, we provide a prorated credit for the remainder of their billing cycle[0]. So if someone cancels after 2 months, they get the remaining 10 months as credit. They can use that towards renewals, new services, etc. I totally respect it's not for everyone, but the cost savings can be substantial for those who are able to use our services.

We are also expanding to Europe in the near future.

24YO male. I guess it’s OK, could be better!

I spend a lot of time sitting and looking at a monitor, which I am quite conscious of.

I’ve got back into running, and will run 3-4 times per week in the evenings after work. I do this to unwind, clear the mind and get rid of stress.

I walk about 3 miles to and from the office, which I suppose would be good if it wasn’t for all the pollution in London.

I seldom eat junk food, and cook most nights of the week. I’ve started to snack on healthier food like plain Yoghurt and Soreen Malt Loaf, which I’ve acquired a taste for.

I do however have a Vanilla Nespresso Coffee and chocolate brioche roll each morning before I leave for work. On the weekend I’ll make porridge though.

The argument that makes sense to me is that Bitcoin is just “Digital Gold”.

But I don’t really understand why gold has so much value, so maybe it’s not really a good answer. It’s kind of like saying “Maybe Bitcoins will have value for a long time just like this other non-valuable, non-transaction asset that’s had value for a long time”...
