This is a fascinating premise. I wonder what "02rcV@gwBiE14N2e" says about me...

It should go without saying, but don't use your regular password for this site. There's no way they're using a unique salt for every password in their database, because otherwise it'd be impossible to match people based on the password. Without a unique salt, they're much more vulnerable to a rainbow table attack.
The food market is more expensive if there are multiple vendors and the customer don't shop around.

The price gouging doesn't come from multiple companies, but from the free pricing. Some independent taxis in Sweden charge 10x as much as established companies. Therefor few people would hail a random cab in the street.

Less utilization means the drivers have to charge a higher price to cover their overhead.

Hi! Thank you for your question!

Due to $reasons, we can only accept applications from folks that currently possess a right to work in the United States (e.g. https://www.thebalance.com/how-to-get-a-permit-to-work-in-th...)
The US government spends as much as a percentage of GDP on healthcare as the UK, and a lot of the other countries which provide free universal healthcare. The marginal increase in healthcare coverage could actually be free, given the massive inefficiencies which exist in the current system.

You know, this is interesting, because I have a different, but I think somewhat related, experience. I am from a pretty comfortable background but I'm a lifelong suburbanite and now live in one of Boston's less tony suburbs. I work in Boston, though, and there is a lot of kind of subterranean contempt for the "townies" who live in these places and their tastes and habits (naturally enough many of them I share and I like my neighbors, making that a little uncomfortable). People blithely say things like "oh, yeah, it's full of white trash over there." And if you tell people in Boston you're visiting from one of these suburbs a lot of them act like you just said you flew in from Idaho, never mind that a ton of people take a train to Boston every single day. People can find a lot of different reasons to be snobs.
Happy to help!

You’d have to launch it over a lake, but you’re not allowed to fly the first stage over populated areas so it would have to be a very remote huge lake. That’s quite a limiting set of requirements.
I was told by a friend in sales that it was an sacking offence for an IBM salesman to be seen in a Mc Donald's
TFA: “India’s government spent just 1.4 percent of the country’s gross domestic product on health care in 2014, little changed as a proportion of the economy in 20 years, according to the World Bank. China, by contrast, spent 3.1 percent of its G.D.P. on health care in 2014; the United States spent 8.3 percent in the same year.”

CMS.gov: “U.S. health care spending grew 4.3 percent in 2016, reaching $3.3 trillion or $10,348 per person. As a share of the nation's Gross Domestic Product, health spending accounted for 17.9 percent.”

World Bank puts total health care expenditure at 17.1% for the US in 2014 and 4.6% for India...

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

C is not the only way to understand the underlying machine, plenty of languages offer similar features.

Plus being a subset of C++, there is hardly any value in learning C as such, instead of good C++ idioms.

In fact, my university already in the mid-90's never teached C, only C++ with a professor that was insightfull to have its own set of type safe abstractions, the usual array/string/containers set, while teaching us about RAII, years before C++98 and STL were a standard.

There were system programming assignments in C, it was expected that any student would be able to think and know how to apply C++'s C subset for the assignment.
Rudeness only if you “cross the lines” with them, like demanding service. But terrible, slow, unatentive, untrained waiters is definitely the rule here.
> It can be frustrating, but it’s also unavoidable.

Why unavoidable? It's not that one is forced to use some tech... Even though the hyped crowd chants the names so loudly.

A lot of things that complex technology offers are not really needed (not to mention one has to constantly fight with that new complex technology when it doesn't yet do something). And complex tech can be frequently replaced with a small set of tiny scripts and small and simple standalone services.

Domain and deployment-specific scripts and services that are unique, sure. But still easy to grasp mentally (and much smaller than any mature project's codebase).
Using life expectancies only gives you a view of healthcare preventing deaths. There is a vast distance between barely alive and a good quality of life.

As I understand it, most chemotherapy targets only dividing cells. In adult humans there are relatively few of these: cancer cells (which you want to kill), bone marrow (produces blood cells, so you have to monitor blood cell counts during chemo), and reproductive organs (produce gametes, so you may want to freeze sperm/eggs before chemo).

I don't spend much time with Access. But the two things I see as helpful are a) handy connection with Excel, and b) readily produced printable reports. If you aren't already in the Microsoft Office world, the first is no real advantage.
I think the point here is that in white-collar workplaces long hours are mostly an abstract way of signaling that you take the job seriously, not exhausting in the way that long hours in a job demanding physical labor would be.
They could definitely use a unique salt if they just check for matches on registration, login, or password change (when they have it in plain text). Still insecure because then you have the info that two different salted passwords have the same plaintext.

If the hospital staff are white and I conjecture that they rendered substandard service to a non-white patient because they're racist, I'm calling them racist due to their race. If you think that isn't racism, think again.
In Germany, it is fairly typical to demand this up-front.

However, it's also often OK to apply at these jobs without stating salary demands right away.
Visual Studio also does remote debugging, including for services running on Azure, and recently introduced across containers.

Usually the problema is that many developers never learned what a visual debugger is capable of, and the typical command line interface in UNIX leaves little room for exploration if people aren't curious to learn about them.

For example, many aren't aware that gdb has a TUI that eases the experience.
A few really stuck out to me.

The biggest one was pouring wine. I remember a few times I poured it kind of off and I got that distinct look of class violation. Haggling about splitting checks also got those looks often, the lesson I learned there was that almost always, the party will want to split it evenly rather than do something as gauche as math, so rather than order less, order much more so you get a discount on your meal :-)

I also spent some time in a small rich beach town, and from that time I remember how my switching to boat shoes seemed to instantly ingratiate me with some people. Also never mention how "cool" it is that someone has a jetski or nice boat, those things were just taken as statements of fact.

To many people these might not seem like real mores or wealth signifiers. Maybe you think I was just over-sensitive. This whole article though, is about feelings, and certainly in those moments it seemed like everyone was certainly feeling something strongly.
There are lots of other ways to determine what things are like in North Korea besides paid testimony from defectors. In fact, the interview in question mentioned at least one, namely books published by the government.

The post author avoided mentioning any other means, and has not explicitly stated a belief that an authoritarian country can't be just as good as a liberal democracy. I am going to assume that is what he believes until he states otherwise.

Oh, and as long as we are at it, what is your belief on this matter?
I dunno, if it's an ad for GKE, then "you typically have only about nine months until the latest version goes out of support" is indeed pretty persuasive marketing to me to let someone else deal with it.

In middle English and early modern English there was the distinction between thou and you (nominative case; thee and you for the accusative/dative case), the first is familiar and the second is polite. Obviously these days the familiar has been dropped and so indirect idiom takes the place of the honorific.

> I think you're confused about the differences between a law and a regulation. As I understand it, at least in the US context, regulations are rules specify the finer details of the implementation of a law. You can be jailed for the violation of a regulation [1].

Sure, but violating the regulation has no victim. If you sold lemonade on a stand in california, you would be breaking regulations but there is no victim that would ever sue you for damages.

Regulations, at least in general, about preventing something from happening by restricting action. Legal action is about responsibility: if something happens you are going to be accountable for that which happened.

Tether deserves a lawsuit on fraud, because they committed fraud. But we don't need the sec for that.

> There's an expression that describes your attitude, it's "throwing the baby out with the bathwater." The thing about "the laws designed by previous [generations]" is that most of them are good, and the ones that aren't will eventually be abolished or modified, in a democratic society.

Tell that to all the people doing 25+y for doing or dealing pot. They must agree with you!

> For example, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Traffic_in_Arms_.... lists several instances.

I'm no expert on arms dealing but isnt the US Gov the one that gives out the most weapons to radicals? I thought the US as a successful exporter of weapons..and certainly of violence!

Don't miss the fact that regulation is excercised by people with the same incentives as anybody else, but with more power.
This philosophy course on death by Shelly Kagan [1] - 26 lectures of 45 minutes - is one of the best courses on anything I have ever watched. It covers many aspects of death, from identity, minds and souls over eternal life to suicide, and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the topic.

EDIT: To get a feeling for the course maybe watch lecture 14 first which is also quite close to the article. Not that the first lectures are not interesting, quite the opposite, but - at least if my memory serves me well - it takes quite a few lectures to establish and discuss fundamental concepts before the focus really shifts towards death. If you like that lecture, watch the entire course.

My point was a critique of the idea that ‘extra information always makes you more informed’, not specifically about this case.

That being said, I would still be skeptical of the claim that they will always use this information in a balanced manner.
I had a ton of fun with Lego Mindstorms when I was a kid. It's not free, but she might enjoy it if she's interested in programming lego robots. It looks like you might be able to use those legos with python too, but that would probably take more work on your part to set up.

I asked this before and I still don't understand it: Who is holding the Tethers? I can see that "someone" wants to artificially increase the BTC price by buying BTC using USDT. But for this scheme to work, someone needs to sell BTC for USDT (and hold the USDT!).

Who would do that and why? We are talking of about 2 billion USDT that have to be somewhere.

When other peoples’ money is at issue, as it almost always is, the wishes of the patient or family should be given no weight (unless they’re willing to pay).

That sounds callous, but it’s the humane thing to do. Money spent keeping someone alive who has no chance of recovery is money that’s stolen from the treatment of people who could benefit the most from it.

Most PHP frameworks these days are a horror show of overcomplexity, precisely because they are trying to write Java in a language that is not Java.

In my crotchety, old man opinion, people have been trying very hard to make PHP like a blub, overly verbose language, and trying to hide the things that made it great.
This website seems a little fishy.
It seems to be looking for exact matches only, so a linear search against the entire user list should be fine, and should quite comfortable be adequate even for thousands of users, depending on hashing algorithm.
It requires you to provide a phone number (read disclose your identity) to use it. And its homepage has the word "privacy" repeated several times. It looks like a poor joke.
This is a problem I faced using ansible, webpack + js modules, and more. it's a moving ground and you always need to keep up to date with the latest changes often which are breaking.

I tend to design my systems so that they work even if I haven't touched a line in a year but when using such tools it's always a pain.

I wish things were as stable as a bourne shell and unix environment in general. Not that they achieve the same but I just miss the stability I get from raw unix tools.
