This article isn't that great. The idea of heated surfaces is not a new one. However, it doesn't exist widespread because it is not practical at all.

I live in an area of NY where it is not unheard of to get a foot of snow every few hours for several hours. You can wake up with 4ft on the ground. No heated surfaces is ever going to take care of this amount of snow.

Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard's office still exists at the HP headquarters in Palo Alto. It's an absolutely pristine office that looks like you've stepped back in time to the 1960s. It's kept very well and acts like a museum for visitors.

On one of their desks is a collection of coins which visitors around the world have left there in homage of the great inventors. Different currencies, in fact. The coins are literally just sitting there, and nobody seems to have dared to walk off with them!

No, according to the end of the posted article, poor UI and a lack of necessary safeguards were part of the problem,

> assigning a position

I think what you're asking is "this getHashCode function always returns a random number within a large range, but a hash table has a small set of positions, so isn't this more like a sparse array rather than a hash table?"

The answer is that the "hash code" is indeed not the final position, instead it is the input to a function to compute the final position. So, lets say a hash table has 100 positions, then the hash table implementation will essentially do:

var position = object.getHashCode() % 100;

which converts the random number from getHashCode into a position within the hash table. Since the final "positions" are ints 0-99, the actual underlying storage would look a lot like a 100 element array.

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

Summing up, basically yes, you could think of a hash table as indexed storage, where the positions are "randomised" by a modulus on the number of positions. Of course the "random" bit happens when the object hash code is generated, the rest is deterministic. In real life it looks like the minimum number of positions is at least 1022, and that number can change as entries get added to the hash table, but that's the gist of it.
That is so fast!
Normally that would be true, but under ACA profits are capped at 25% of premiums. They can increase profits only by increasing premiums, which can be justified by rising costs. Private insurance companies in America have no incentive to lower healthcare costs.
I would argue that it does. Being a child molester shows a horrifically bad sense of judgement and a flagrant disregard for the law.
Completely agree! That's what I think the future of self-driving cars will be -- not so much "automatic Uber" but instead little busses that can automatically optimize their routes to get people where they need to go. This would mitigate a key issue that is often raised in regard to ridesharing --
that it has the potential to clog streets.

Speaking of PRT in the 70s, for quite some time the Morgantown PRT in West Virginia was the only functioning example of one. (I believe nowadays there are a couple others):

The company I worked for was filthy rich with Minitel. I don't know where you heard there wasn't money in it, but even with Transpac charges it was making a scary bundle for the operators... Of course there might have been an economy of scale in our case, but it was scary.

They were bringing Ruinart champagne /by the pallet/ for employees to enjoy. Basically you could throw a party any day (for anything! like "I've just got new shoes", and you had unlimited champagne. Remember that was in 1989 -- a LONG time before dot.com era and even a long time before the excess of the 90's. Also a long time before it became socially inadequate to be rather drunk at work (on champagne only, mind you).

The employee benefits were also incredible, even by banking standard. I think we had 8 or 9 weeks paid holidays, and anything you didn't take was... paid to you at the end of the year, on top of the bonus (which was also generous).

In other words, not exactly a company that was skimping...
I don't really understand how it is part of the problem. If the worker really believed an attack was incoming, confirmation screens wouldn't help at all.

I have a rare disease (shortness of breath caused by air pollution, especially when lying down or excercising), but all pulmonology doctors are sure that I'm just depressed after the usual check-ups are unable to show the disease (and I'm not coughing which is unusual for most similar diseases). I'm trying to find blood tests and gene tests that help me find the disease I have, as I've given up on doctors. I also know multiple people with BRCA gene who weren't taken seriously by doctors before they had the gene test.

Except even the 100% risk is spread over the group. So if I have some known condition that will definitely incur $10,000 in medical expenses this year, it's still possible that my premiums total less than that, but everyone's premium is a bit higher than it would otherwise be, to cover my extra costs.

Even covered wellness care probably comes out a bit less than it would otherwise cost, because not everyone uses it even though it's covered. Some people, like me, just don't go to the doctor.

Given that a modern library knows everything you ever checked out, it would be easy to do this automatically.

It’s the SEC, there was never a window, and they’ll claw back anything and everything they feel is out of bounds. People seem to sometimes confuse the slow pace of government with a lack of inevitability, and assume there’s an opportunity. It’s not an opportunity, it’s a trap.

Ian Bogost is probably the worst regular contributor to The Atlantic and I say this as someone who probably agrees with his broader point at least half the time.

Google for a class in (classical) control theory. This is a standard topic for electrical, mechanical, and chemical engineering programs.

For implementing a PID loop, you can do it in pretty much any language you want -- it's relatively straightforward once you know the math. You can even do it in hardware via an analog circuit if you desire. However MATLAB / Simulink are commonly used when experimenting with system parameters due to the presence of straightforward plotting tools and numerical ODE solvers.

> AriseBank announced Thursday it was correcting an announcement made the prior week about the acquisition of an FDIC-insured bank.

Wow, I checked the links to find this. First [1] they claimed:

> AriseBank now holds 100 percent of the equity in both KFMC Bank Holding Company, a 100 year-old commercial bank, and TPBG, a 25 year-old investment banking and management firm.

> As part of this acquisition, AriseBank can now offer its customers FDIC-insured accounts and transactions, and gain a strong backing for crypto aTMs™ which will grant consumers to easily convert and withdraw cryptocurrencies in U.S. Dollars.

Then a week later they "corrected" [2] the announcement:

> Because of the decentralized nature of the AriseBank software, it is wholly unnecessary for the platform to be FDIC regulated or insured as the individual users maintain full control of their funds. The company is currently in the process of acquiring two U.S.-based companies, KFMC Bank Holding Company and TPMG. KFMC Bank Holding Company is the owner of a 100-year old US commercial bank and TPMG is a 25-year old investment bank. The name of the actual FDIC-insured bank being acquired will be announced once all paperwork has been filed with the FDIC and regulators have approved its status.

This really getting out of hand.

I design and build my own quads, though I'm not a particularly great flier. The thing I love about the hobby is that it combines three key things:

* The control joy/mastery feeling you get from activities like car racing, riding a bike on technical terrain, playing a game, or flying a plane[1].

* A sufficient risk/reward profile; you risk smashing a $100 device, which is expensive enough to be interesting, but low enough not to be paralyzing

* The gearhead thrill of ordering, rebuilding, designing, and discovering new combinations of equipment

In my case, I want to optimize for quietness and unobtrusiveness, which means aiming for lightness, which is its own set of fun design problems - I'm currently down to 25 grams for a brushless FPV setup[2]. Now I'm on to redesigning the RC transmitter[3], since I want one with nice gimbals that takes up as little space in my bag as possible. The set of things you can do is endless.

[1] I hooked up an RC controller and went FPV with my home flightsim setup. It was fun, but there's a reason RC sticks are tiny - you need to move them around a lot more frequently and quickly than in a plane: https://twitter.com/gmurphy/status/832698732361551872

You do know you can renew a checked out book or check it out again? Checkout time for my local library is a month, and you can renew for additional month(s). Fines are 10 cents a day, and you can renew overdue books.

Guilt for losing a book? If you feel that bad just buy them another copy and donate it.

If it doesn't fit your use case that's fine, but you're over exaggerating a bit.
Thanks for the question.

The question we figured out we need to answer is: what type of outfit ideas are people looking for, and how do they describe their needs? And then, how can we match those needs with relevant content.

So what we did (what we do) is look at people's queries, and also at how people describe their clothes, their outfits or albums (combinations of outfits, like pinterest boards). There is a lot of data here, millions of keywords, but many of them are similar (pants and trousers, or pantalones in Spanish). So we’ve extracted the main concepts (pants) and built a system of equivalences. Basically, now, we know “all” the needs people have when it comes to deciding what to wear, and have a pretty complete view of different ways of describing those needs, and how good the system is at responding to those needs (database of outfits).
thanks pab_rey!

This needs to be placebo-controlled in order to support their interpretation that it's a result of the pathogen.

I don't think this is true at all. The doctors have to justify their costs and the insurance companies have to validate that they are worth covering. Neither of those seem simple unless the insurance companies simply said, "Whatever the doctor wants to do, and whatever they charge is fine."
Not sure if they can or will claw back anything. There are simply too many offenders to individually track down, prosecute, etc. Not saying they shouldn't be punished, but there simply are too many offenders. The small time offenders will probably be let off.

Not a legal standard. They took money from non-accredited investors in the U.S. and didn't do KYC/AML. It really isn't that complicated.
And at least in Germany doctors still have very nice cars so there is still a good amount of profit.
You can also negotiate on your own. I've occasionally had medical bills that for whatever reason were not covered. I call the provider and if I owe $1,000 I'll say I can pay $500 today to settle it. That's more than they will get selling the debt to a collector so they will take it.

You generally can't negotiate in advance though, because most providers seem unable or unwilling to tell you what anything is going to cost.

For something practical, I’d look at Bitcoin. It seems to be somewhat useful for routing payments around regulation. Even at that, though, it currently isn’t very good due to how inefficient the blockchain is. Maybe non-blockchain technologies like the Lightning Network will help... but if you can’t even create a successful payment network with a blockchain, I don’t see any reason to be optimistic, given that no other use cases have shown any hint of success.
People feel that politics are tedious, but this is exactly the reason to pay attention. Look farther than your case and systematically review overall national stats of healthcare costs in the US vs other nations. We pay the most of any developed nation, double on average other developed nations, almost triple the best run healthcare of other nations. We not only pay much much more, people die sooner and go bankrupt more under this system for completely preventable reasons.

Edit: And great that there might be a new value conscious private competitor out there - but I'd note that all those other developed nations that are individually, collectively, and vastly outperforming our health system all have some form of government control on drug and procedure prices. And a single private company would be very hard pressed to replicate the negotiation leverage of a government. I'd also note that I'd trust JPMorgan about nil to be concerned about customer value over company profits. Other nations have a health system, and at the end of the day we have a health market.
