Horses are huge animals and often have to be put down for injuries to their legs. It's a shame to let meat go to waste. I don't know about killing horses in their prime though if that's what they do.

> a) I have no primary care physician because I don't typicaly go to the doc for any reason

This is circular... you saying you don't go to the doctor because you have no PCP, and you don't have a PCP because you don't go to the doctor

> c) going to the doctor involves triggering an expensive and difficult to predict system that will possibly bankrupt me.

I'm having a hard time believing that a standard outpatient visit would bankrupt you. These are typically on the order of $100, and rarely more than a few hundred unless you're going in for specialized procedures, which you've already established you aren't.

Sure, if you go to the doctor, you might find out you have a more serious condition that would require future, longer-term care to address, and that future care may involve additional expenses and inpatient care which you may or may not be able to afford. But that's hardly a reason not to go to the doctor today and find out - at least you'd be able to make that decision on an informed basis.
Twitter is full of those porn promoting accounts. Typically this is an account with some female name and a profile pic of a person in a state of undress following lots of popular accounts.

Twitter doesn't even take them down if you complain about them. Very annoying.

AMD's driver scheme is basically year.month.something

I haven't figured out the last number. But the 18.1.1 release basically means "2018 January". Similarly, their 17.7 release meant "2017 July".

5.18 seems to predate AMD's current naming scheme. So it was probably something from a long time ago...

Intelligent and reasonable people can disagree - strongly as to the extent of how much of a problem this is, whether or not it is a problem, or whether the cure is worse then the disease.

This also has little to do with fake user accounts.

Delphi 1.0 was about the time I started focusing on C++, so I am not that knowledgeable about its features. Just remembered that was one of the key changes.

It's all about Openshift. Redhat developers have actively contributed to Kubernetes for about two years now.

Now they'll own the entire stack and have a great integration story for enterprises. Even though containers have been around 3+ year's in the form of docker, corporations still don't have a scooby on how to integrate their existing deployment and development workflows.
> The statement that the image is fake is not a defense unless it accompanies every publication

Of course. OTOH, if you build it into the image/video, that's trivial to assure for each publication you are involved in, and subsequent publication by some other third party of some subsequent modified image that removed the statement of falsity is no different than if someone republishes a modified version for your statement that someone is not a child molester which omits the “not”.

Yeah, I've never really questioned the decision I made to actually buy and study the required texts, etc., when I took Torts, rather than just spending a few minutes studying on the internet, so I really don't need anyone to validate that for me.

(Now, if we were talking about false light, in the jurisdictions which recognize it, rather than defamation, this would be a trickier issue, I think.)
That is an hilarious list of expectations. It's akin to announcing they have an concept for a product and no idea how to make it so you'll have to know and do everything that might possibly be needed to accomplish it from start to finish including the patience to address their every whim along the way.

They don't say how long they'll give you to make it but I'd bet they'll expect it ready to ship in a few weeks or a month at most :D

Before newspapers, stories traveled from one person to the next. Then newspapers came and everyone said, "they can print anything they want, why will people believe anything in them!".

Given that so much of our lives and the events of history and society unfold in natural language and that it is in natural language that we do much of our critical thinking and reasoning, it's important that we hold ourselves to as high a standard as is reasonably possible when talking (either to ourselves or others) as when performing mathematical calculations.

This is also why we should be skeptical of "meta-ideologies." Ideologies derived from Postmodernism often make something akin to a claim of transcendence, attempting to lean on the ability of Postmodern analysis to deconstruct anything expressed in language. Marxian philosophy attempts to be such a meta-ideology, claiming that, in a constantly changing world, only the analysis of things in the process of change is valid, and attempting to formulate its own system of logic that takes such transformation into account from its foundation.

I think Science, done honestly, is okay as a meta-ideology, as it's subordinate to logic, mathematics, and empirical data. The honest conduct of science will eventually expose charlatans. Capitalism as ideology, as apparently subscribed to by some Libertarians, fails to be anything more than a (rather good) method of regulating an economy, so falls far short of being a meta-ideology. Evolution, attempting to become a meta-ideology as Daniel Dennett's "universal acid," is interesting as a meta-ideology, but I'm not sure it's quite ready. I wonder if Marxian philosophy could be reformulated to ditch its historical dialectic nonsense and its utopian nonsense, taking up evolution by natural selection as its analytical foundation instead?

Not specifically, no. But they can be abused in similar ways.
Defamation would not apply because they didn't make knowingly false statements about him, or at least claims that they didn't have some historical source for like roommates or classmates. (The higher standard applies because he is a public figure.)

Invasion of privacy did not apply because he was a public figure and held to the higher standard for IOP claims. Pretty much everything in the movie has already been revealed before, so there isn't anything private that was revealed in the movie itself.

Mark Z could have had a case for publicity rights. The only problem is...what damages did he suffer? It's likely that his legal team realized that they could only ever win a relative pittance in damages but not block the distribution of the movie, and suing would just trigger the Streisand effect, so they just did nothing. (His damages would likely have been based on the amounts paid to other celebrities for their life stories...usually in the range of $250k to $5 million, a pittance for a billionaire.)
Ask HN: How to spammers make this magic happen?
Got a spam email that had the name of someone close to me but not super close (eg a friend of a friend or a family member that I only sort of know). The actual email address is a fake one so it isn't a hacked account. They someone pair that name with my name and send the email to me. How can they do this at scale? Do they scrape Facebook?

Absolutely! We all quite like Python, and there's no denying that JavaScript doesn't have the same caliber and range of scientific code (yet!).

I fully expect plenty of people to do some of the data-crunching in Python, Julia, R, and so on, and bring it into Observable to explore and experiment. And I also expect JavaScript's ecosystem to blossom, especially with WebAssembly & WebGL hitting the mainstream.

It's a platform problem. The cross-availability of information on let's say ... Google Android. They can use a microphone, wifi signal analysis, and other techniques that make your GPS coordination data moot. What's getting more complex is the data itself, and how it be sorted and moved around the need for actual location data. That's why I think the "disable GPS / Location" actions in Android (and macOS) needs to be more granular. When we say "don't track me" .. it means ... on everything and protect the information from software in silos. It goes against the grain of security vs. usability .. but its gonna happen by will of the people.

What has been Kaiser's great influence on healthcare in the US? They were far from the first HMO and have never been the largest? CIGNA has the longest history as an HMO and before the HMO act of 73 was the largest.

Is it the model of owning coverage and delivery because that is a model that even Kaiser doesn't completely follow in all the regions it provides coverage in. And also one that has not spread widely in the US.

Maybe it is different in Northern CA and the rest of the Pacific Northwest where Kaiser is strongest but in my region Kaiser has never had a great reputation. It was the cheap insurance you bought when you were young and hoped nothing really bad ever happened to you. It is known for poor access to and quality of care. These days it is still known for that but premiums, co-pays and deductibles now equal or exceed those of other insurance providers.
I started learning about containerization just this week. I didn't even know there were other popular alternatives to docker. So from what I gather, coreOS/rkt is an alternative to alpine/docker, with kubernetes instead of docker swarm as their primary orchestration solution?

> Result which is a plain old datatype written in the language, though admittedly it relies on a macro for use

It does not. It relies on a special construct (!) or macro (try!) for convenience, but these are not necessary (a popular alternative is to use the various HoFs instead) and desugar to pretty trivial (if possibly repetitive) code:

macro_rules! try {
($expr:expr) => (match $expr {
$crate::result::Result::Ok(val) => val,
$crate::result::Result::Err(err) => {
return $crate::result::Result::Err($crate::convert::From::from(err))
}
})

> Only if you use every other feature.

Not true at all. A lot of the features have either an interface or an implementation driven by the possibility of combination with some other feature. The cognitive and/or performance costs remain even if that other feature isn't used. For example, it's easy to get mired in writing extra constructors/destructors and virtual hooha just because someone using your class might also use some feature besides the one you used yourself. I've seen that happen on many projects. The only way to avoid it seems to be to abandon most of what makes C++ different than C, at which point it would usually make more sense to start with C and add what you need.

So let me ask you .... how do IT folks actually handle this type of situation? The experience required for systems work both in the field and base are both between making soldiers at home, in combat zones, and also keeping them safe. It's something that requires a LOT of experience on new tech to really stop/filter/protect against situations where data is being transferred off base. There is also the STORED perspective. That data may not be transmitted ON base .. it could be transferred over a wifi at something like the "sister's house" or some other place you never expected on an open network for wifi with that device. It's nearly impossible to stop this. It's like White House leaks .. when there is a way to transmit, it will be used.

> It may be worth lodging a complaint with whatever authority your country may have against that doctor that dismissed the bullseye rash.

Because Lyme's disease is regional - almost exclusively found in the Northeast and Minnesota/Wisconsin - most doctors won't have had much experience with it. Lyme's disease also presents with a lot of different symptoms that are very difficult to differentiate from other conditions (including other tick-borne diseases), which makes it difficult for doctors in those areas to diagnose.

The trademark "bullseye" rash of Lyme looks striking in pictures, but in most cases, it's less heavily pronounced, and it's harder to differentiate from many other possible sources of a rash or irritation. This is actually a problem for people who contract Lyme's disease more than once - after you've had Lyme's once, you will always test positive for the disease, even though you may no longer need treatment, so it's hard to identify patients who have been reinfected.
