CMS is reporting total US healthcare spending; TFA is discussing government healthcare spending; total (federal, state, and local) government spending was 45.2% of all health expenditures in the US [0], which applied to the 17.9% of GDP for total US healthcare expenditures gives 8.1% GDP public expenditures in 2016, very similar to the 8.3% TFA reports for 2014.

EDIT: Ah, my post crossed your edit, which recognizes the issue, but:

> They must mean just US government spending, not counting private expenditure.

The part you quote from TFA explicitly says it is comparing government expenditures.

It has been a while since I landed on Digg but I tried quite a few web based apps including Feedly, The Old Reader and several more that have already shut down. I also tried a few native tools like Safari's built in reader and Reeder on MacOS.

At the end of the day, nothing has been as good as Google Reader... at least not for the way I want to use it.
If it's fully licensed then I imagine it is fine - I'm not sure how flexible the law is around licensing short term rentals in otherwise long term buildings though.

It's short-term rentals in unlicensed properties that the state has specifically outlawed. IIRC it wasn't actually legal in the first place, they've just started enforcing it.
I TA'd for a course in grad school that used your product.

So if I match with someone we now both know each other's passwords?
You'd have to be a moron to use a password that already you use anywhere else. Then again, people are generally morons. (Or, more charitably, they know very little about technology and opsec. Granted, that doesn't seem to be the Hacker News target audience.)
Are you trying to match against people who share your DNA? That doesn't sound like a brilliant idea!
Think about extreme points of the tradeoff curve between these variables, and you've got yourself an insight!
Does this mean that they don't hash your passwords? They save it in plain text somewhere? ... Also, this is a terrible idea...
I was just thinking the other day about "finished software".

Really?

> (4.5) Alternative Stores. You may not use Google Play to distribute or make available any Product which has a purpose that facilitates the distribution of software applications and games for use on Android devices outside of Google Play.

You have no chance of bootstrapping an alternative store outside of Google Play. Sideloading APKs is not how users get software on Android.
Amazon failed hard with their attempt, and they pumped tons of money into it by paying developers to give away their apps for free; that, and they shipped hardware that has their store preloaded. Still didn't even make a dent.
SEEKING WORK - Houston, TX / Remote / Travel OK

I am a full-stack web developer writing front-ends with React, Redux & TypeScript and back-ends with Python, Django or Flask, and postgresql.

What is a "regular password" in this context? For anything I'm concerned for the security of, I use a unique password, and for other things (accounts for job applications, my accounts on sites like Duolingo, Coursera, and others that I don't spend money on), I use the same password. I can't think of why I'd reuse a password for an account I actually care about.
I usually like to eat at less-expensive restaurants and most of them will just outright refuse to do like six checks.
You really think there's any sort of future in ICOs? The seem awfully faddish, and are quickly gaining the reputation for being ponzi schemes.
I don't see how they can easily be connected to the value create by a company over time. If you issue more coins or engane in buybacks, then they're basically stock and I'm sure the SEC will want to ask you some questions. If you don't issue new coins over the initial set amount, then it's deflationary and lends itself to the usual pump and dump.

Moreover, I don't see how ICOs offer anything to people without a lot of disposable income. They are simply too high risk for anyone who doesn't already have quite a bit of money they can afford to lose. At best they offer a way for people who are already in the top 1/3 of income earners to speculate and find greater fools among the slightly more wealthy.

Am I missing some fundamental value of ICOs as an instrument for investment?
I think a good number of people actually believe that rich people get together to conspire to keep the lower classes divided. So saying this as a metaphor without any caveats is probably not a great idea.
Spot on mate! I am leading security/operations team for a large telco and the developers are the 1st to get stressed out, when there is a major production issue... We are the ones leading the complex debugging sessions and solving problems in the middle of the night...

Olo is the leading provider of digital ordering for today’s restaurants. We help restaurant brands maximize revenue per square foot by delivering faster, more accurate, and more personal service to their customers.

We’re quite up-front about the technical challenges our business faces. Running a platform with multiple white-labeled front-ends, that maintains real-time connections into thousands of restaurants’ POS systems, and coordinates complex transactions between these and other third parties (such as payment gateways and gift card providers) is not for the faint of heart!

Olo is located at 26 Broadway in the historic Standard Oil Building, the former home of John D. Rockefeller. We offer great benefits, such as 20 days of Paid Time Off, fully paid health, dental and vision care premiums, stock options, a generous parental leave plan, and perks like FitBits, rotating craft beers on tap in our kitchen, and food events featuring our clients' menu items (now you know why we give out FitBits!).

His only previous submission was https://web.archive.org/web/20150203155420/http://loseyourbi...

which seems to be a cheap (albeit honest) trick to get money out of people, so it's quite plausible that this project is simply a cheap trick to get passwords out of people.

Hopefully it comes with a followup blog post with some interesting analysis, although I'm not sure what the overlap is between "interesting" and "ethical" with a data set like this.

Hopefully it does not come with a followup blog post from somebody else who finds all the data up for sale on a darknet market...
It is an interesting premise but the more I think about it, the less I am impressed in the password aspect. I feel as if this reduces to the N = 1 case of: Ask N questions to all participants, match those that answer similarly for the most questions.

Why would you only ask a single question to determine best matches? And why would that question be of your password? Taking into account more information can only be better for matching people, right?

Assuming about 300K ambient temperature (on site, above ground), 800K working temperature (store the heat at 500°C) and that the second law of thermodynamics still holds, the roundtrip efficiency can not be 70%. It must be below 40%, and not just a bit below.
Joel Spolsky talks about this (as a somewhat adversarial tactic, even if it's not purposely so) in "Fire and Motion"[1]

"Watch out when your competition fires at you. Do they just want to force you to keep busy reacting to their volleys, so you can’t move forward?

Think of the history of data access strategies to come out of Microsoft. ODBC, RDO, DAO, ADO, OLEDB, now ADO.NET – All New! Are these technological imperatives? The result of an incompetent design group that needs to reinvent data access every goddamn year? (That’s probably it, actually.) But the end result is just cover fire. The competition has no choice but to spend all their time porting and keeping up, time that they can’t spend writing new features. Look closely at the software landscape. The companies that do well are the ones who rely least on big companies and don’t have to spend all their cycles catching up and reimplementing and fixing bugs that crop up only on Windows XP. The companies who stumble are the ones who spend too much time reading tea leaves to figure out the future direction of Microsoft. People get worried about .NET and decide to rewrite their whole architecture for .NET because they think they have to. Microsoft is shooting at you, and it’s just cover fire so that they can move forward and you can’t, because this is how the game is played, Bubby. Are you going to support Hailstorm? SOAP? RDF? Are you supporting it because your customers need it, or because someone is firing at you and you feel like you have to respond? The sales teams of the big companies understand cover fire. They go into their customers and say, “OK, you don’t have to buy from us. Buy from the best vendor. But make sure that you get a product that supports (XML / SOAP / CDE / J2EE) because otherwise you’ll be Locked In The Trunk.” Then when the little companies try to sell into that account, all they hear is obedient CTOs parrotting “Do you have J2EE?” And they have to waste all their time building in J2EE even if it doesn’t really make any sales, and gives them no opportunity to distinguish themselves. It’s a checkbox feature — you do it because you need the checkbox saying you have it, but nobody will use it or needs it. And it’s cover fire.

But that's the whole point of the site. If I enter a randomly-generated password, how's it supposed to match me with anybody?

Meant to be! Also trust!
I'm glad that you're liking it - it's a very "approachable" language. I discovered it 20+ years ago, and never looked back. I've written all sorts of software with it: manufacturing order entry configurators, payroll software, application servers, database engines/servers, ODBC drivers, .NET data providers, compilers, and a web application development IDE.

Well, the hell with them. Beer is the better drink and making it requires more sophistication (it's definitely a more complicated process).
Slightly tangential to the study here but I’ve been going down the sleep apnea rabbit hole in recent months and I strongly encourage folks to investigate their sleep. A lot of people have sleep apnea and don’t realize it. You don’t have to snore to have it. A surprising statistic I found was 20-30% of people with ADHD have sleep apnea. A lot of people may be treating symptoms of sleep apnea like ADHD and high blood pressure with medications while ignoring the root cause. My experience with this has been that doctors are surprisingly ignorant. They’ll happy prescribe you medications for anxiety, ADHD, blood pressure for years, and never think to ask you about your sleep. Do some of your own investigations or ask about it if you have any suspicions.
Well, I think you are mistaken. Including salary range was one addition we came up with recently because,

1. We had a couple of candidates who did well in the interview, but finally, when it came to salary negotiation, they were asking much more than what members of the current team were getting. That was justifiable because they had offers from some other countries where developer salaries are better.

2. We received better applications because overall we are offering above market rate.

But hey, if you would like to keep salary open you may mention that, and I don't think your candidature would be rejected. At least that was what I did when I joined 2 years ago.
> What I've seen (and mentioned in another comment) is that the upper classes view "education" to mean private liberal arts school, not math/computers/science. I think those are viewed as too hard to pursue if you don't have to and populated by non-rich people.

I don't think that it's about the difficulty of math/computers/science; it's about the goal of the degree. A liberal arts degree is not a vocational credential: it means that one has been taught to think (literally, the 'liberal arts' are those studies useful to a free man, not an employee). If you have a math or chemistry degree, that can still be upper-class so long as you're not intending to make your money in math or chemistry; it's when you had to study a subject so that you can afford to live that you mark yourself as not upper class.
Does this mean people using password generators will never meet anyone?
I mean, if you're into sour beers at all you can easily pay fine wine-like prices for beer.
Based on their open jobs listings, DigitalOcean is using Ceph. I really hope (for everyone's sake) that Linode didn't roll their own solution.

As someone who runs ~100 Ceph clusters at multi-petabyte scale, publishing availability and durability SLAs is not an easy task, however not impossible either.

Peer pressure. Consultant-hiring-pressure, for example: Are you full-stack? "Full stack", now there's a phrase...

2 is not a conflict of interest because increased capital supply means better terms for their companies. YC's interests lie first and foremost with its own funds (its LPs) and its batch companies. Increasing the competition for dealflow amongst angels does not conflict with _their_ interests.

It will however likely suppress returns of existing angel/seed investors, as deal values are inflated.

Fwiw the timing of this makes sense. We are seeing reports of the angel/seed market drying up as the wave of post 2010 first time angels have lost their enthusiasm (or capital), and seed fundraising in 2018 is much much harder than in 2015.
