In this case, I actually would not consider Breitbart to be the best source to report from (owing to their strong political bias).

The source of this complaint is the James Damore lawsuit filing here (https://www.scribd.com/document/368692388/James-Damore-Lawsu...). You can find the portion mentioning Curtis Yarvin on page 37. That would be the best primary source to link to.

(Even the lawsuit description is problematic to me, as the "influential conservative personalities" mentioned -- Alex Jones, Theodore Beale, and Curtis Yarvin -- all come from the "alt-right" / conspiracy-oriented / "neo-reactionary" side of conservatism. There's no indication that this list also includes other influential conservative personalities like, say, George Will and Charles Krauthammer, so at first the description in the lawsuit seems overly broad. But the lawsuit text provides more context than Breitbart did, IMHO.)
I've never actually met someone who was offended by a statement like "on average, men are stronger than women".

If you are saying things like that, and people are getting offended, perhaps record yourself and see what other shit you say and how you say it, and maybe you'll see what they are really offended at.
> the hash function "randomly" but reproducably assigning a position to items

Right, which is a pretty good description of what this does. It's random because it literally generates a pseudo-random number. And it's reproducible because it only generates it once and then stores it with the object to reuse it later.

> This way, it's more some indexed storage with randomized positions.

That's a great one-sentence description of a hash table. :)

The whole thing is broken. A friend of mine is switching jobs and is going to forking over a third of her paycheck for COBRA until the new job enrolls her in their plan. Almost certainly, nothing will happen in that short time period, and she'll have wasted thousands of dollars. But if something did happen, and she didn't pay the extortion, sorry COBRA, she'd be up shit creek without a paddle and ruined.

Yup. I called bullshit on the story we were being fed at the time (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16161584) and said it seemed obvious when you think about it that they really believed they were under attack, and I'm glad to see the truth finally come out. The bad UI argument could still be valid, but it definitely was not the cause of this.
Introducing Version 16: Phoenix and Our New Website
In my book, Witold Pilecki is in the same folder as Irena Sendlerowa, a Polish nurse who smuggled hundreds of Jewish kids from the ghetto, who was tortured so severely that the Nazis bastinado-fractured her feet - to no avail. Un-fucking-believable bravery that inspires me every day to resist the silly trumps and putins of our time.
I am reminded of the classic story from IBM.

A junior developer makes a mistake that cost the company 10 million dollars. He walks into the office of Tom Watson, the CEO, expecting to get fired. “Fire you?” Mr Watson asked. “I just spent 10 million educating you.”

Perhaps it is possible to enact some change through learning, rather than through firing.

The Nazis were delighted to ally with Poland for that. They had more foresight and understood this opportunistic move would greatly damage Poland's diplomatic relations with its allies. And it did. I was one of main reasons why Allies dragged their feet to help Poland.
And if you get really sick, especially at a young age...you exhaust it and either go bankrupt or die from not getting needed care, or both, depending on exactly how providers treat people without ability to pay.
Doesn't the AAMC regulate the number of nurse practitioners? My understanding was that increasing the pool of nurse practitioners would help alleviate the cost of treatment for basic ailments, but that number is capped by an administrative body.
Hence health insurance should be strictly separate from health care. A strong insurance body could even ensure proper competition in the health care space.

It's surprising that seatbelts have saved anyone at all, but that does seem to be the case.

There was a flight to Hawaii where the roof ripped off and everyone saved except for 1 airline stewardess: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aloha_Airlines_Flight_243

> All the passengers were in their seats and belted during depressurization.

And the crash in SF where two people were ejected from their seats: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asiana_Airlines_Flight_214

> Neither victim was using her seatbelt. It is likely that these passengers would have remained in the cabin and survived if they had been wearing their seatbelts

The computational barriers are definitely an issue. I thought I had read rumors on twitter that ONT was trying to implement read-until on one of their larger-scale sequencers (one of the ones with compute integrated).

Barring that, the Cas9-mediated targeting method looks somewhat promising (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGDH-FdoARM). No need for amplification! Though for applications with human DNA you might run into some issues with the copy number of a sequence of interest if you’re starting out with a normal amount of genomic DNA.

I’ve been with Kaiser for over a year after having been on One Medical which is aiming to go in the opposite direction (many small satellite offices with good tech and more personal private care).

For simple, routine needs Kaiser really does shine. Easy appointments, quick, good staff. We recently had a baby through Kaiser and pre-natal and post-partum care as well as the actual delivery was a fantastic experience. Much more so than the experiences of my peers at other non-Kaiser hospitals. Cost is all covered in employee plan.

BUT as soon as you encounter specific issues, Kaiser breaks. I’ve had persistent GI issues and was never able to find consistent specialists on Kaiser. I also lost coverage to my therapist as Kaiser only does group therapy.
> And 50% of your revenue goes towards taxes, office space, and buying products and services to support your business.

This was about 10 years ago.

The naive answer I would have given at time was: "I'm a software developer who builds ecommerce and CMS sites."

And it's funny that you ask "What do you do?" At the time I had starting taking on projects from a friend who had been doing development contracting for about 4 years. One time when a client told me my proposal was priced too low and passed on my bid I was baffled.

I told my friend about it and he asked me the same question, and I gave the above answer more or less. He corrected me and said "No! You're businessman enabling a national sales channel for a local or regional business who wants to increase their revenue."

So never define your price by what you do, rather define it by what the value of thing is you're delivering to the client. This requires some research on your clients and a realignment of your thinking. When you're contracting as a developer, you have to start considering yourself as becoming a successful businessperson and not (just) a successful software engineer.

Bill Nye Does Not Speak for Us and He Does Not Speak for Science
A hash function takes some state and produces a nicely-distributed random-ish number from it. Given the same state, it produces the same hash.

I think you're OK with that definition of a hash function, right?

In a mutable object-oriented language like JavaScript, two objects with the same properties are not the same object. Conversely, an object before and after mutating a property is still the same object.

Thus, the "state" that matters for hashing is the object's identity, not its properties. Thus, V8's hash function produces a hash value given the identity of some object. Since there are no useful bits associated with "identity" that V8 can use to produce a hash value, it has to synthesize some at object creation time by calling rand.

(If V8 didn't move objects in memory during GC, then the object's address in memory would be a good candidate for its identity. Indeed, in language implementations where objects don't move, the address is often used as an input to the hash function.)
I’d be happy if the SEC just would warn people about these and if courts would refuse to litigate losses and lawsuits from people who lost money.

I explained it to someone recently as this: "This biggest problem with the healthcare industry is that incentives are terribly misaligned and patchwork. Because most of the market is formed by accreted law rather than naturally, even incentives for a given participant (e.g. an insurance company) are usually different than what you'd expect."
They refused to remove it after having the evidence of falsehood for a very long time... until they got the personal arguments of one of their 'old guard' members. In other words, they don't care about objective reality and care only about the emotional investment their friends have.

Speakerphone. That can also mean it’s automatically on. So you do something else, hear something narrated as the message and the last thing that stays in your head is clear “this is not a drill.” And you probably didn’t have to answer the call and talk to the real person. You’ve just heard “this is not a drill.” So you act as you’re trained to do.

Importantly, the researchers aren’t saying they’ve deciphered the entire Voynich manuscript. Rather, they’ve identified the language of origin (Hebrew), and a coding scheme in which letters have been arranged in a particular order (alphagram).

Yes.

Slush funds are not unlimited.

Government agencies who want to do illegal things must do them with some level of restraint because reducing volume makes abuse and/or public knowledge of their actions less likely.

Illegal action is more costly at every step (you have to hide it and its paper trail).

Less abuse and smaller (illegal) programs means less opportunity for politicians to look good to the public by holding your agency accountable for violating the law.

Making stuff we don't want the gov to do illegal for the gov to do helps very much because it provides negative incentives for them to do those things so they are less likely to do those things in large volume.

Making something illegal for the gov to do is no different than writing a law that fines private companies for doing something bad. Sure they'll still do it when they think the rewards make it worth it but they'll do it a hell of a lot less overall.
Yeah but there's a difference between going to college and becoming leftist and going to a trailer park and becoming a neo-nazi.

Crypto exchange Bitfinex, tether said to get subpoenaed by CFTC
I’ve spent days making hash tables in C.

The module operator is really slow. But a bit shifting operator is much faster. Having hash tables that grow in sizes of two, or more precisely where you can just shave off some bits of a random number to get a position will yield the best performance.

In JS, hash tables need to be growable Incase they get dense. In that instance you don’t want to compute object hash again since it’s expensive. You just want a cheap, here’s the new position.

This is why the poster called it a socialized system. You are literally spreading the costs to the society of individuals in the plan. That is not insurance.

Now, it is common for "socialized" to be a scary word. So that people try and name it other things. But you aren't spreading the risk here. You are only spreading the costs.

Well, I'd also argue that you are spreading the benefits. Which is a good thing to me. Point being, though, it is not insurance.
Hmm, this seems like it might create security leaks for developers using protobuf at public interfaces. They should probably have some kind of static configuration variable `DefaultDiscardUnknown = true`.
Most clinical applications don’t need long reads. Pathogen identification from short reads is easy. Blood tests for cancer, and NIPT (which will likely be the first big applications) both use fragmented DNA in the blood, so long reads are not useful. Depth (lots of sequencing) and quality are far more important.
Well, we've seen the UI and it is crappy and it's not hard imagine someone making a mistake that way. But yeah you're kinda right. They should still fix the UI though :/.
When you're doing a post-mortem you're supposed to think about how to prevent the next one, not how to prevent the one that already happened (someone needs to tell the State Dept this).

So you look at all of the contributing factors and you come up with a plan for all the ones you can reasonably address.

It's been identified that a reasonable person could accidentally send a real alert even when they intended to send a fake one. So you fix that too because why the hell would you leave it once you've found it?

Or to put it another way, they're already in the middle of a PR disaster. You get a second one if the press gets wind of the idea that you're cutting stupid simple corners on the remediation. And make no mistake: Fixing a UI issue with the benefit of hindsight is a stupid simple fix (avoiding it to begin with is much harder).

How do you come to that conclusion? I've seen a number of articles and cases like [1] where a company decides to charge apparently "what ever it wants" and the insurance company said "fine" and paid it. This article[2] talks about the wide range of prices for the exact same procedure within the same area. Is it your understanding that each of those different doctors justified their costs and the insurance company validated them?

Creating learning material isn't something that hinges entirely on trustworthyness. Sure authors of learning materials may be biased towards certain practices or styles, but it's trivial to verify that the content itself is legitimate - any coding tutorial that says 1 byte chars can increment up as far as 4 byte ints is going to get called out quickly.

But for a referee putting down high scores from a video game, the referee's value stems entirely from the idea that the referee is a trustworthy observer.
It makes me wonder what the message is for a real emergency.

Also, the article mentions the day-shift supervisor thought the test was for the leaving night-shift operators, so he wasn't there to presumably tell his day-shift that there would be a test... but I think that this is not good for them to be warned ahead of time.
