On the other hand, at least in the cities there is a ton of pharmacies - sometimes even across the street form one another, and easily every few hundred meters along major routes. There are way too many. When I walk through downtown Nuremberg I walk past several of them, right on the main pedestrian-only street of the city. And they are all allowed to advertise in their shop windows. So that's some prime advertising space, right in the hard of the city. On my way to downtown, a twelve minute walk, I walk past four pharmacies if I take the route along the street (vs. the lake route, which is a park).

Also, they are allowed to advertise for things like cold medicine, when I still had a TV (log time ago, admittedly) I remember seeing lots and lots of such ads: "WICK MediNait cold medicinefor the night", list of ingredients: https://www.aponet.de/wissen/arzneimitteldatenbank/suchergeb... (active ingredients Paracetamol, doxylamine hydrogen succinate, ephedrine hemisulfate, Dextromethorphan hydrobromide-1-water)
Maybe for your friend group, but absolutely not mine (20-25). That market is huge for advertisers.

Thar said I can't imagine their losses ever being recouped in ads.

Pharma ads play a role but hardly explain this behavior. I believe a primary aspect is simply that Americans (including myself) expect and are expected to fill every waking moment with productivity or similar, rather than having flexibility to take a few hours/days/etc off to allow for healing and/or exploration of causalities; we instead use coping strategies and even with lackluster results continue down that road, seeking more alleviation of symptoms - initial, and consequential side effects from treatments for initial - rather than examination of root causes (which are complex and individualized to a large degree).

It doesn't help when others influence by saying "just take ... for that." I can't begin to explain why others do so, except that people generally have good intentions and are empathetic?

TLDR: Americans often don't invest the time and resources to identify and eliminate behaviors/conditions that are the cause of their ailments, and instead cope with any "quick fix" drug/product/strategy that never eliminates the cause of symptoms and often introduces new issues.

Last two thoughts: Many in modern society are very averse to discomfort - understandably, but regardless of degree/origin - and many doctors are happy to feed into this behavior instead of educating the patient that pain is sometimes a part of the process.

Many in modern society lack (or do not have the energy for) self-awareness and/or critical thinking to examine root causes of ailments/symptoms, and instead trust that taking ... will help without understanding the actual mechanisms/effectiveness of the treatment.
I must applaud the doctors, as they did the right thing, and even gave explicit and detailed explanation. Pain is indeed important. It is a feature, not a bug. If you don't know what resting after a surgery means, then you are in need of more pain, not less, as pain is exactly what effectively teaches you what to do and what not to do.

Also, Ibuprofen is really bad for your kidneys. If you take it, then make sure to drink sufficient water. And don't give Ibuprofen to old people without doctorial advise.
Well it's a bit tough to do actual work when there's pain that keeps distracting you. In the article the author talks about just needing to rest... But many of us don't really have the luxury of taking multiple days to rest. At least when you're on painkillers you can still do white collar work, albeit at reduced capacity. Without painkillers though, all your mental capacity would be going towards managing the pain.

And the fact the incredibly shadowy ikea tax structure makes it hard for anyone to compete against. Profiles itself as a Swedish company and uses the country for marketing purposes but has done everything it could to avoid taxes here.

Also, the mountain of cash hidden in all the Dutch and Luxembourg trust funds coming from this tax structure is not being used to contribute back to society in a meaningful way like Gates and Buffett.
> USDT/USD dipping below $1.00 for the first time in awhile

The dip corresponds with a $600M increase in the market cap, so is likely explained by a sudden increase in supply.

It would be worrisome only if the price didn't get back to parity.

Never heard of those. What are they exactly? Orange juice?

I had a minor operation last year, also via laparoscopy. Didn't take any painkillers afterwards, and all was fine.

I think pain has a lot to do with fear: if we don't expect it and we don't know why it's there, it's horrible, but if we know where it comes from and how it's supposed to evolve it's a lot more bearable (within limits of course).
Related: some studies have found that opioids are no better than ibuprofen+acetaminophen:

https://arstechnica.com/science/2017/11/as-epidemic-rages-er...

And I believe it.

My wife had somewhat involved oral surgery (1 regular extraction plus removal of 2 impacted molars embedded in her jaw - it was difficult enough that they said a broken jaw during the procedure was a possible complication. The doctor prescribed a week of hydrocodone, and said that she absolutely will need that bottle, and may want a refill.

She didn't want to use the opioids so went with the alternating ibuprofen+acetaminophen route, and though the first couple hours after the Novocain wore off were a little painful, she was pretty comfortable after that.
A New Theory of Fair Use (Updated for Today's Information Society)
What is more worrying about US healthcare and the big pharma, is that they are trying to impose the same modus operandi in other countries. I hope none of the other developed Nations take this threat lightly.
Just to be clear, the "ones who architected the final solution" attempted other solutions first (e.g. having Europe's Jews emigrate from Europe to somewhere else; they were stymied by other countries not being willing to accept them). I'm not saying this was a _nice_ thing to try to do, but even they did not start with cackling evil laughter and wanting to wantonly slaughter people. Something that often gets left out of histories of WWII.
This is a rather salient point. In the Netherlands, if I needed (in consultation with my doctor, of course) to stay out of work for a year to recuperate from illness or injury, I can do that and continue to receive my full salary. The second year would be at 70% salary. My job would await my return - only after 2 years would I be separated from my employer and have access to other long-term disability benefits.

In the US, FMLA generously "guarantees" 12 UNPAID weeks of medical leave in any 12 month period while still being able to return to work (provided you've met other conditions of hours worked, and the location where you work has 50 or more employees, etc etc.) Enforcement may require lawyering up, so it's de facto useless for low-wage workers - or middle-class workers who don't want to be blacklisted from future employment, as, yes, background check databases do prominently flag people who have sued their employers.

And did I mention FMLA leave is unpaid? If you can't afford to take unpaid time off work, you're using vacation days unless you're in one of a handful of localities that require employers offer a few paid sick days per year.

Ever since the Trump/NK crisis began, I've been thinking if it's not just an application of the Madman theory by Trump. Of course, I wasn't the only one[1], but that article (written in October) says that "it’s hard to see the North Koreans backing down in hopes that Mr. Trump will return to reason and be a stable, rational negotiating partner", yet isn't exactly what they did since then?

The top article says that the "Trump administration’s policy (...) has significantly increased the risk of a disastrous war", but has it? Who would actually start a war over that policy? The author himself says that the DPKR is trying to defuse tensions, so who else?

Except for a few sleepless nights for the citizens in range of a NK ICBM, the results of the current "crisis" seem mostly positive.

Ask HN: Filtering out the cargo culters in a job search
I just started looking for new work seriously on Friday. So far, almost every posting I've found is actively recruiting committed cargo culters: "If you love JavaScript as much as we do...", "If you believe that Docker is the future of computing...", etc.

It's not that specific techs are used as much as it's that the job post predicates one's eligibility on their commitment to buzzwords. I use this stuff now, but I don't want to work somewhere that judges competence based on one's commitment to fads.

I'm seeing tons of "We're actively moving into AWS", from big important things like financial companies, insurers, etc. I don't know if they're just saying this because they think they need to to attract applicants or what. I know AWS very well, but I don't believe there is anything particularly magical about AWS itself, and I'm confused as to why enthusiasm for this vendor's cloud platform is apparently pre-requisite for so many jobs that are supposedly about building good solutions, rather than pumping up Amazon's sales.

It seems like if I say in the interview "Why are you guys shifting to <buzzword>? What's wrong with <current system/old buzzword> that drives this?" it'll just be an immediate dismissal or suspicion that I'm only asking because I don't know buzzword well enough.

I've had this happen before. I want to know how to minimize my chances of encountering such places at all.

Does anyone have advice, or know of job boards that are perhaps popular with those who remember a pre-AWS, pre-GitHub-Stars-driven world?

Any tips on how to avoid employers who are looking more for cargo culters than they are looking for people who are thinking about what they're doing and are capable of explaining why they're doing it are great. Some kind of "kool-aid free" assertion would be great.

Would really help if I didn't have to throw out 99% of the otherwise-applicable job postings.
Hows that? It's my understanding that in a single payer system you are still allowed to pay for whatever you want or buy supplemental insurance to cover types of care the baseline single payer system will not.

I don't think the average american uses that many pain pills.

OTC pain pills are a ~4 billion dollar industry. There are 320 million people so that's ~1$ / month in pain pill per person. And that's including both stuff that goes bad and is never used and daily Aspirin taken for cardiac health. https://www.chpa.org/OTCsCategory.aspx

5% of the population does take daily pain medication. At the same time it's common to go months without taking anything for pain.

Good reading on the matter is The Salt Fix.
Heroin was initially marketed as a non-addictive version of morphine. It was challenged by experts on the spot. But Bayer promoted it in ads as a remedy against cough and cold for children regardless. [1] In some sense they weren't first to come up with the idea - TIL ancient Egyptians used opium to stop children crying. [2]

Anyway, IMO the real wtf is drug companies being allowed to advertise prescription drugs in the US. A few lines into the article I eventually assumed Vicodin was an opioid-based painkiller; whereas I'd gather many a NYT reader would be familiar with the name. I find it unfortunate that the author doesn't connect the dots and spell out the conditioning of consumers through pharmaceutical ads.

By the standards of many places in the world, medicine in the US is quite prudently distributed.

For instance I can buy antibiotics, or things like prozac at most any pharmacy. Pharmacies being a bit different than in the US. In many places prescriptions are not filled at pharmacies, but at the hospital itself. Pharmacies are often stores that sell only drugs, usually without prescription, as opposed to the US thing where you have a general goods store with a pharmacist filling prescriptions in the back.

And all the regular stuff acetaminophen/ibuprofen/etc are also of course available, though there is a difference that generally it is sold in blister packs rather than in the huge bottles of it you can buy in America.

It was a bizarre setup from a dev perspective but once you got used to it you could crank out new features incredibly quickly as you had a heavily regimented workflow (Usability trumps _everything_ with these machines).

If you open up an ATM you will find your standard run of the mill beige PC inside it and in fact in many of the older machines they _literally_ stuff an _entire_ PC case in there simply laid on it's side.

There is also an extra monitor back there with a little keyboard attached.

The only impressive aspect of ATM's is the engineering that goes into all of the supporting hardware and peripherals such as the stackers, the cash acceptors, the cheque validators, the printers, the recycling cash canisters, the electronic pin pads, the various fraud detection features etc. I found that stuff much more interesting than the dev work I did day to day.
I think that was deliberate. The author was trying to illustrate her preconceptions about medication and pain and eventually discovering a different point of view.

Having the option to live in an echo chamber also means we have the option to pick the wise and rational sources from which to listen to. Whereas before when TV and the local community supposedly was the source of diversity of thought, did you also have to put up with a lot of irrational bullshit that is inherent in socially propagated truth. I'm glad I'm not forced to live in that world anymore. For people who live in the outskirts, or who don't have access to a university culture to get their rational (isolated, echo chamber-y) conversation from, the internet is a godsend. Saying that you wish that echo chambers wasn't an option anymore also means that you wish people didn't have the option to experiment with a community whose values don't align with the norms of their local enviourment.
