Not necessarily. The largest driver of healthcare costs in the US is pharma profits. This venture, combined with the CVS/Aetna merger and the common drug factory venture, should place substantial downward pressure on pharmaceuticals to lower their prices or lose hundreds of millions in business...forever.

i would actually recommend ssb-pub [1] over ssb-easy-pub.

ssb-pub is private and has no ui. You generate invite codes on the command line. ssb-easy-pub does provide a web UI so that people can request invite codes easily BUT the codebase is in need of some TLC and is difficult to get running easily.

ssb-pub is trivial to set up, especially if you use the one-click installer.

If humans can’t identify sarcasm, why would you expect AI to?

It’s like expecting AI to read handwriting, when people can’t even do that 100% of the time.
Not OP but also I've heard Cloudways is good for managed WP hosting https://www.cloudways.com/en/

I've used WPEngine and haven't experienced much issue myself. Their support has been good and pretty helpful with managing tricky mysql situations.

That came through a little garbled. They haven't reused the current first stages more than once for a total of 2 launches each. They've already scrapped a bunch of them, they have far more than museums will want.

It's the next iteration, Block 5, that they hope will go 10x with very minor refurbishment and hundreds of times total.

BTW this first stage landed intact in the ocean -- a surprise -- and they're towing it towards shore.

I have to disagree, it seems to me that what it shows is something very real about NK: the way the NK wants to portray herself, the illusion that they want to create. It's not like say pictures of Istanbul with century-old men, veiled women in rundown rotting quarters which many tourists and photographers like to shoot and many believe represent the general reality of the city while we the citizens cringe to death. The "show" here is put on by NK herself and the documentary is interesting because its documenting that. It's NK that pushes those stereotypes.
Spurious Correlation
> > The minimum wage in US is a slave wage.

> Talking about $15/hour as a "slave wage"

Isn't happening, because that's not the US minimum wage.

> is honestly insulting to people who, you know, lived under actual chattel slavery.

I'm pretty sure they are the ones who actually coined the phrase in reference to crushingly inadequate post-formal-emancipation wages.

> This sort of racial insensitivity is one of the biggest reasons that leftist movements have such difficulty gaining traction with minority voters, and black voters in particular.

Being (partially) black, left-leaning, and actually having studied American political history more than a little bit, I tend to think racial distrust and the absence of as critical mass of visible black leftist leaders is more of a factor; as is a kind of existential despair in the wake of the civil rights movement and nominal victories that have still left blacks far behind.

Obsessing over details of wording is more an issue of concern among
a narrow group of elite intellectuls than the broader community, and I'm not even sure most of them would be concerned in the direction you suggest.
The largest driver of cost in the US healthcare system is actually hospital care (30% of spend) while drug costs account for ~10%

Not to say that drug prices aren't too high but they are just one piece of the puzzle
I appreciate the thought but there are some issues that make such kindnesses difficult:

1. People like me need more than a one time donation or loan, we need long term support so we can even have the stability to TRY to rebuild. That's the purpose of those social systems people in my regions loathe so much.

2. There is an underlying suspicion/anger towards people who need money as it hits that "what if they are a scammer/they don't deserve it/they are being lazy" button in the subconscious. Even the nicest people aren't immune to this in practice.

3. My chances are slim even WITH help so there is a big chance I'd never be able to make good on it and I couldn't with good conscience accept any help without that being clearly understood.

4. My previous experiences with "offers" have taken a big toll on me as they have invariably been people trolling or looking for a quick feel good and never following through.

What I think is the only truly possible and practical solution is for someone to "teach me how to fish" and hire me within my limits. That's still a charity and special opportunity in the end but it would allow me to at least have a path forward. Something a few hours a day at most, remote, that would be flexible enough to work with/around my pain and limits. My broken body dictates my schedule, and being in my 40s it's only getting worse naturally as well.

I saw a guy post on reddit not long ago who sat at a computer tracking oil tankers and analyzing when they slowed or deviated in order to manipulate markets. Something like that would be great for me but it's not something that I can just "go out and do". The normal ideas people have for someone at home like content writing etc are A. Not as sustainable as people think and B. Soul killing.

I always had jobs that contributed to the greater good so slaving away doing something I despise to enrich someone else, even if I could realistically do it, is just too much more mental weight to bear when everything else about my life sucks. It may sound choosy but you have to have SOME good parts to stay mentally intact. I need a positive purpose in addition to that ugly paper that buys life.

> I don't immediately get how saying that _something_ is retarded is offensive to _people_.

I actually think you could argue the opposite. Maybe it's forgivable to not keep up with the euphemism treadmill when talking about cognitively disadvantaged _people_, but referring negatively to _something_ by comparing it to cognitively disadvantaged people clearly contains a negative message about cognitively disadvantaged people.
I think the surprising part, here, is how many employees they still have.

There are lots of these. In fact, Amazon even has a tool for creating your own.

As for regular CYOA interactive fiction, there are lots, And lots of tools for making them. Even start-ups promoting them. But so far there is no long-tail. And outside one or two successes (like "80 days" on iOS), players don't seem to be flocking to it.

It's easy to say 'it will be huge', but it it doesn't seem to be even the most popular form of a Alexa skill. Of course it only needs one big success to make it look inevitable, but so far, colour me sceptical.
Rich Ting: Interview with the Co-Star of the TV Miniseries 'Waco'
I live in Dublin, where we have a very successful docking bike share. (Of course, we have mediocre transit and a compact city centry, which might explain its popularity)

Every morning, I take my daughter to creche, walking with her pram. Then, I get on a Dublin bike and dock it at the office. Then, after work, I get on a Dublin bike and dock it by my apartment (wife picks up daughter on way home from work)

Even though I have a Brompton, being able to walk, then ride, then ride, is a huge part of the appeal of bike share. Sometimes I'll take transport to a place and cycle back. Sometimes I have a multipoint journey. It all varies.
> this is a great time to test! This is the equivalent of testing edges or boundaries.

True, if the test were properly prepared. If not, it's the equivalent of setting your own house on fire to test how the fire department works. Not a smart idea.

Also not being able to cancel the alert immediately is the result of specific system design, which also was somebody's decision.

Vive Pro is mostly an incremental step. Hopefully in 3-5 iterations we can comfortably read small text, improved screen refresh, and decrease the weight.

For screen refresh and resolution numbers I wonder if the bottle neck is having affordable displays or having affordable GPUs.
It's drastic enough not to be realistic, it would break mail for too many people, who would blame it on Gmail.

What the big sites can do is add a delay when receiving from a plaintext relay, in a manner similar to greylisting and tarpiting that are widely deployed. The mail is not rejected, just delayed. The delay can be proportional to the amount of mail sent by a domain, and set to increase in time. The same can be done for outgoing mail to domains that don't advertise STARTTLS, drop the connection and retry later.

In the first phase, just issue a warning then drop the first submission attempt, to fillup the logs with a clear message that STARTTLS is strongly preferred. Gradually increase the delay so that large sites have trouble emptying their queue, and continue to increase the delay until the last holdouts can be simply shut out.

The advantage with this approach is that the user of Gmail, Yahoo etc. does not see a problem with his account, while the smaller sites and users will have delays when sending mail and receiving mail and be forced to take action.
For some reason, I like the fonts more on grv compared to tig, even though tig has more features.

Once you decide that self-awareness is an arbiter of actions towards conscious animals, (I guess in some sense, 'conscious' now has to mean ... is capable of showing its self-aware) a lot of things have two sides. Because deciding something doesn't display self-awareness implies some actions you wouldn't take, you might now take. So, it takes on a burden, of being a decision-logic question with strong implications.

Peter Singer (boo! hooray! (he has fans and enemies) both) seems to say that in some situations, viewed as an almost economic minmax question, cows (who we have good reason to beleive are self aware) may benefit as a species, from complying with a regime where we (force) feed them, breed them and then kill and eat them.

The hooray side (meat eaters?) are very happy. the Boo side (the animal ethicially minded vegetarians?) are not.
Almost every RBDMS uses undo logs to implement rollback (they physically roll back/undo the changes). It is the traditional implementation technique for a whole generation of databases -- see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithms_for_Recovery_and_Is... . AFAIK only PostresSQL and possibly also Interbase/Firebird and Rdb (though I'm not 100% sure about those) work in a different way without undo logs, preferring to leave old data in the heap, step over if as required, and eventually garbage collect it later. Ancestral POSTGRES did that because its goal was to keep all versions forever and do time travel, and VACUUM just moved them off to write-only media for archival. A subset of traditional undo-based RDBMSs can also use undo logs to implement MVCC. That's primarily because the other RDBMSs didn't choose to provide snapshot isolation: instead they made writers block readers, so readers never needed to fish old row versions out of the undo log except when actually rolling transactions back. The set of databases that can do undo-based MVCC currently includes at least Oracle, DB2 (since 9.7), MySQL (InnoDB + maybe other storage engines). Note that the original implementer of PostgreSQL's WAL (REDO) logging intended to add undo log support (possibly under the influence of the super well-known ARIES design): https://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.2/static/wal.html . Somehow it's taken another 15 years for someone to try that.
> keeping the public right-of-way clear for public use

Plenty of railway stations (plenty of streets!) surround themselves with car parking, which is a much less efficient use of space compared with bicycle parking.

Here [1] is above the underground Nørreport station in Copenhagen. Not the main station, but the second busiest. Lots of designated bicycle parking, but the latent demand is probably higher than what's available. At some point, the hassle of finding a place to leave the bicycle outweighs the delay with simply walking through the city centre, just like driving a car.

"Nuisance" bicycles get damaged, so there's pressure not to leave them in the way. In the proper bike rack, or within an area of bike racks, or leaning against a building, seems to count as a proper area. Anywhere else, the bike might get knocked over and not righted. Then the wheels end up tacoed.

But really, for any city that isn't Copenhagen or Amsterdam, converting some car parking spaces into 8-10 bicycle spaces each should leave plenty of room for bicycles.

From what I know, it's a combination of prerequisites (can you manufacture this? can you conceive of it?) and pressures (what problems are most people facing?).

There's also maybe some selection bias; most (all?) of us hadn't heard of the other two cubes, because they failed to catch on for various reasons; if a cube had been invented sooner, would we have ever heard of it?
The getting started guide [1] is pretty comprehensive, I think. Let me know if there's something you think is missing. There phone version is _very_ alpha still. Installing it on your solar powered raspberry pi is just a matter of downloading the AppImage from the releases page [2].

58 is the fixed version.

That's because 57 was a complete dumpster fire. It broke all the add ons. Little wonder people would not update. I was a happy FF user for years. My solution was to dump FF and move on, but I know there are still a lot of people clinging to 56/52 like debris from a shipwreck. Anyone who points this out is granted invisibility powers on HN, so I can see how you would be unaware of this.

This is quite a strawman. While there are some people in the world who do what you describe (but for different reasons)[1], doing away with the binary (and highly suspect) barrier of "rationality" that that has been invoked at least as far back as Kant to elevate humans over all other animals is not tantamount to granting viruses and intestinal flora the right to vote and a universal basic income.

There are other bases—very intuitive ones among them, like capacity to suffer or to anticipate the future—by which you could decide in a principled manner how much ethical consideration a certain organism is due.

Facebook recruiting programming puzzles from 2007
That's fair from what I've seen in technical hiring (as mentioned, I only do sales recruitment). A lot of the big outfits hire kids straight out of school who don't understand the difference between C# and Javascript or the difference between front-end or server-side development. A lot of the issues with recruiters stem from the fact that recruiting companies (ironically) don't hire all that well.

A: If I’m doing something for a client that keeps me from working for one of my other clients, I charge them.

B: The exception is when working for a client out of state. Sometimes the hassle of doing state taxes just for a few hours work in the clients state is more hassle than it’s worth (to me). I price into my rate one on-site visit to the client a month.
Many not for profit providers in the US are actually quite profitable, and insurance companies, even for profit ones, have regulations regarding their profit taking (they must pay out like 85% of premiums they receive to cover medical expenses). So while not having a profit mandate can certainly help Amazon / brk/ JPM, scale and negotiating leverage are probably bigger drivers

Interesting point re increasing costs for other companies, seems like it could certainly happen and maybe even lead to an arms race of employer consolidation. This phenomenon has happened in the hospital-insurance area, where a big hospital will buy up smaller providers and negotiate higher rates from insurers. The insurers then either have to consolidate and grow themselves or decrease rates to smaller providers, thus incentivizing smaller providers to join the big ones.

This is a vicious cycle and I believe one of the main reasons for higher cost healthcare in the US. that said, healthcare is very local, so not sure if this new effort will impact local payer provider dynamics as much as it will increase more national scale issues like PBM and purchasing
Just reply back :)
Not seeing how pigs are different from dolphins
Healthcare always has been and probably always will be a terrible model for paid service. Its not a public utility function or non-contestable in the same sense we think electric wires and sewerage are (we could in fact run two sewerpipes to every home and contest that function of course. We just think its silly. economic wraps 'thinks its silly' up in fancy language) but it is, (I beleive) probably a public utility function in the wider sense.

Discriminating over ability to pay for health, is not net beneficial to society.

Amazon may be the exemplar dis-intermediator, but really, this is a replacement, a stand in, for what I think we can call a failed state: the US federal-state system is incapable of overcoming popular issues on tax and socialized service, so instead it has to use price-function and cost-function forcing from the private sector to achieve the outcomes which in other economies, we do by saying "lets do this on the tax"

Amazon is the wrong way to fix this problem. The article is on the money for what healthcare can expect but thats different to the imperative of what we should do. Well, what I think "we" for the US should do. I live in another country. I am probably wrong. But I don't think so.
Understanding anhedonia: What happens in the brain?
Yep! One thing I think you find is that your "massive" social network (even if it's 500+ people) isn't big at all when it comes to a hiring pool.
That still doesn't translate to the type of massive hype DnD seems to have attracted in NA.
This might have to do with some competition being available outside NA, like British Games Workshop with Warhammer being a rather big thing in Europe.

I live near a small creek in central melbourne. My morning commute passes usually 3-4 newly trashed O-bikes that have been ghostied into the creek, or recently fished out by a neighbour.

I recently spotted a guy with a super nice camera stalking the riverbank and jokingly asked him if he was O-bike spotting. He replied that he was, I pointed him to two submerged on the other bank and he said he was making an arts film about O-Bikes coming to life and joining together like voltron. The company had even promised to donate some trashed O-Bikes to him. At this point, I wonder what their business model is.

Not to disagree with your second point, but that 200ft^2 of land can house a lot of people if you're building 20 stories onto it. It seems to me housing crisis is affected massively by the anti-high-density sentiment in SF preventing efficient use of land.
There's also a blurry line between sarcasm and lies. I'll often say things that are patently untrue to people with the expectation that they know the truth (and me) well enough to get that I'm not serious.

For instance, to my sister:

"I've already told you many times that I hate you." - obvious lie, maybe sarcasm?
I appreciate the response and my heart bleeds for the countless people like me and even worse out there. While yes, even in places with systems there is not a guarantee, at least there is a chance, and the UK's system isn't amazing compared to many continental systems.
