USA survey, though I would be surprised if it varied by nation.

People have rioted over the legality of their sex lives, and people have gone to prison because consenting to certain acts was deemed to be conspiracy to some form of serious assault (against themselves) — so I’m inclined to think it’s both significant concern and a major part of personal identity.
Don't forget that switching insulin is not easy. You have to adjust and refine the amounts you take for several days or even weeks, while closely monitoring your blood sugar during that period. It's stressful and unpleasant. Here, you are forced to do that once (one year before the patent runs out) and it sucks. Why do it twice? If the insurance company covers the new insulin anyway?

But the insurance company masks the real price. All our insurance policies are getting more expensive and cover less because we are all paying for it, together. We all know it, but we all take the easy way out. Including me. You are right, it is deeply unethical.

Europeans more often think holistically about health care (and its cost), which is a good thing. In the US, health care (and its cost) is primarily driven by corporations whose primary goal is profits and shareholder value. They are not aligned.
Having too much money in the company is just as bad as having too little. Companies that have something worth spending money on raise money (whether as rights issues, debt or something else) and spend it. Companies that have nothing profitable to do with their money give it to their shareholders (the fact that they tend to do buybacks rather than dividends is mainly an artefact of the tax system rather than a real difference). That's as it should be.

There's a bubble. A bubble of desperation. You can't put your money in the bank due to the low interest rates. Traditional businesses are not doing well. Investors are desperate to put their money to work. So we see bubbles in tech, bubbles in cryptocurrencies, bubbles in startups.

Best to watch what the legendary investors are doing. People like Warren Buffett, Prem Watsa, and the likes.
>because the universe is discrete

Many aspects of the universe are not known to be discrete, such as space, time, energy, and much, much more. It's not unreasonable that there are discrete and continuous aspects to the universe.

Many things that pop science treats as discrete, such as an electron, are most accurately described as interactions of a continuous fields via topological quantum field theories. Treating the electron as a discrete thing only works for some experiments. Treating it as a field works for all experiments.

I use ProtonMail, and tell people that if they care about secure email, they should too.

I looked in to other services, like FastMail, but from what I've seen, they aren't as secure. I'm no security master, but according to these:

https://www.fastmail.com/about/privacy.html

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/oct/07/australia...

FastMail is subject to the Australian government, so if a "properly authorised Australian law enforcement" person comes, there goes your privacy.

Do others use ProtonMail? Or is there another email service that's as secure? I'm no master, just trying to go after security. However, email is email, so you can only be so secure, especially when emailing people with gmail accounts, etc.
That doesn't change anything. Older or not, people use git.

Ask HN: Entry-level salary and skillset for a software engineer specializing in ML
What would be the entry-level salary and skillset for a machine learning software engineer?

I’m asking in the context of reconverting from 5+ years of professional mobile development to a role that would involve implementing end-to-end machine learning algorithms (i.e. not ML researcher).

I’m currently inplementing TensorFlow algorithms while trying to make them production ready using TensorFlow Serving, and I find it really fun.

So some of my concerns would be whether I’d have to take a significant salary cut (or whether the average salary for such ML role is generally higher than that of mobile devs, in which case such a cut wouldn’t be needed), and whether such role would require a lot more than implementing end-to-end ML algorithms (e.g. an extensive background in statistics)

Thank you!
We are very happy to see that offering. We were planning to move our German SaaS from AWS to Hetzner anyway and with Hetzner Cloud we expect things to be a lot easier for us. Congrats and thanks, Hetzner team!
I worked with health insurance as a software developer (in Brazil so maybe it's all different, but still) and here are my observations.

1. Making claim submission impossible

He said he tried to submit a claim at the last minute. I believe the hidden page was just lazy work, because the page has to be visible again soon. If they hid the page at an appropiate time I don't know.

2. Routinely denying claim submissions

As far as I can tell, in Brazil a regulated health insurance plan can't deny you service based on how many claims of a certain kind you submited. They could before.

But the industry will find other ways to not lose money. Readjust prices based on number claims (from all users), prevent you from entering the plan and making a claim right away, pay for a quota of every procedure you take.

All these mechanisms already existed, but if they can't deny claims anymore they will tweak the other points.

3. Saying the customer has other insurance

This is fucked up. I can't find a explanation that isn't malicious.

Here is one similar case that happens in Brazil though. If you have health insurance and use the free health insurance (SUS). The Union will charge back your plan, not you. It's their job to sort it out not yours.

If you gain citizenship somewhere else, you give up your US citizenship. It costs roughly $300 to file on the US side IIRC -- it's not much unless you own over 2 million US Dollars. So if they've been holding bitcoin this entire time, some would say that since there's no recent trade, it isn't taxable, and thus they can leave with no exit tax whatsoever. Many countries count long term investments as untaxable, to boot, so yeah.

There’s no good data because there is no statistically valid enforcement of rules of the road in bikes.

What makes Hiccup so nice in the Clojure world is that Paredit can be used here which is the tool you're already using to manipulate data structures.

For example, with Paredit, you can create an element and then move it prev/next/up/down a tree with muscle memory you're already using for the rest of your code.

When I re-entered the Javascript world, I tried arrays-for-html but realized it's unbearable without manipulation tooling. I think something like JSX makes more sense at that point since I find you're more likely to already be using an HTML manipulation tool like Emmet which is more pleasant than hand-editing array structures.
> I'm curious, are there large cities in the USA where this can happen?

Yes, GP appears to be ill-informed about how kids get to school in large parts of the US. In NYC, students take public transit (and are provided passes, if necessary) from approx 13 years old. The same concept applies in most cities I know of on the East Coast (I can't speak for further west, though it appears Chicago has a similar system).

I cut my teeth on Perl 5 in the early 2000s, and I've been curious about Perl 6 for a long time.

Last year I sat down with Perl 6 for long enough to form opinions on the language's merits, which are many. I'm told many of my criticisms have been addressed in the five months since the article was published, but perhaps some of you will enjoy reading the original review. Cheers!

So we will get even more "targeted ads" in our faces? No, thanks. I think ML/AI has a great potential (especially in medicine), but I just don't trust ad companies to use it for any good cause.
I don't think this should be dismissed entirely, as it's still a risk in Europe. Especially at night. Every now and again someone suggests women-only train carriages or some other gimmick in response: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-41020179 . Or Scotrail's occasional (more justified) alcohol-free trains.

But during commuter hours, there isn't usually space for crime. And a real comparison of injuries per passenger mile would be instructive - cars aren't exactly safe either.

I do think we should avoid painting public transport as a utopia when it also can have access issues. We should just recognise it as an equal option that can be more comfortable and faster than sitting in a traffic jam and cheaper than paying the real cost of parking (which is often subsidised or hidden in the US)

IMHO the quirkiness of JS is not the main reason for JS hate, neither is the experiments being done with it. People hate JS because they have to use JS. Clojure, C#, Go or any other language would have the same destiny if they were the only language which worked on browsers.
It's a compiled binary (PE). I've read through numerous books on PowerShell and I don't see its value in comparison to using any other .Net language. All namespaces in PowerShell are available in C#/VB/blah so why deal with the annoyance of ensuring that the client has not only the required version of .Net Framework/Core installed, but also the PowerShell interpreter version too? Perhaps it's because PowerShell doesn't require a compiled binary so it can be modified and run without an extra step, and it allows for easy add-ins with the cmdlet interface.
This is awesome! Any further info / alternatives / etc. that you have time to provide would be greatly appreciated.

Does it ever work out that way? This myth of USA military effectiveness isn't promoted in order to ensure transfers of power or [snicker, haha] natural gas in pipelines. It is promoted to ensure the continuing transfer of wealth from American taxpayers to armaments manufacturers and their sockpuppets in government and media.
Most of the labor contracts (not to mention ADA litigation) for the government require a certain level of service if the property is in use. With the government shut down that's not the case. It's the same reason for the infamous "this website is only available from ~9am to ~5pm" nonsense you can find on certain Social Security/IRS pages.

I'll add our benchmarks into that issue shortly.
Our biggest slowdowns are parsing, layouts, and memory. Without this splitting every file is imported, functions are instantiated but not used. With our new method only files needed are bundled and most of the dispatcher.js file is removed. Removing error prone string matching from switch statements to having it automatically done by webpack.

The plan is:

1. Split up the files.

2. Get rid of the as much of the dispatcher.js as we can and have web pack do the routing dynamically. That would eliminate most of 1 large confusing file (dispatcher.js). JS is still cached for the pages you visit but it isn't 1.5mb of JS it would be ~20kb of JS.

I just finished reading The Everything Store a few weeks ago, an eye-opening book that deep dives into the history of both Amazon and Bezos. I don't think there's any chance that Bezos and crew haven't done the math on this part of their business. They have an extremely detailed understanding of what makes Amazon tick, and cutting costs is an absolutely crucial part of that equation.

Ethically, I agree with you. They shouldn't treat their employees like shit. Some things are worth more than money.

But financially, it's 100% untrue that Amazon would be more valuable if they focused on employee happiness over cutting costs. It's not an accident that Amazon generates more revenue than any other Internet company in existence.
Special characters, clear visual markers of scope etc. that Python lacks is part of the appeal of Perl to me.

I feel like a dyslectic when I read Python (projects of significant size) due to it being much less visually helpful and that the idea of simplicity falls apart when the problems are not trivial and when multiple devs have touched the code over multiple years.

YMMV of course but that is why your POV is not objective and I disagree.

I don't think it would without some sort of medium to suspend the end target in. I am presuming that the articles in the video 'hover' there because they are caught in an air pressure pocket where multiple opposing waves essentially phase cancel each other out.

I do wonder about suspending nano particles using light waves though... conceivably that might work in space?!?
Everybody in her park is furious about it, and you'll see people risking tickets. No idea about discrimination law.

Semi-related - when everyone evacuated their office blocks and stood on the road it flooded the cell towers making internet browsing impossible. But whatsapp continued to connect intermittently making it relatively fine to use.

Not saying these types of channels should be used in place of the actual emergency protocols in the phone network. But no harm broadcasting if you can keep them secure.
