When I first started my internal medicine rotation at the latter end of med school, I was quietly scandalized by how many diagnoses I caught that other doctors missed. These weren’t clever diagnoses to be proud of - given time and careful thought, the worst med student in the country could have done the same. I caught one diagnosis that had been missed by three other EDs in the past week, and just required asking the patient two questions beyond their chief complaint.

The doctors I was working under weren’t bad. They were, however, forced to run ragged all day without a break for a shit, allowed no more than a few minutes per patient. They didn’t like it any: they’d openly say “don’t emulate this,” while running to the next room.

The funny thing is, surgeries and pharmaceuticals and medical equipment are expensive. A doctor’s time? If he’s not a top renowned specialist, not much. But people have gotten so used to insurers playing the middleman retailer (buying healthcare services cheaply and reselling them to patients at a premium...), they’ve forgotten they can just -pay for the doctors time-.

It doesn’t require playing amateur medical sleuth. It just requires admitting that a highly skilled worker that had to train for a decade to do the job costs more than 20$.
Fortunately, they've documented where their claims come from, so you don't need to just trust them in this case. And I think your image of the edifying nature of early radio may be unfounded.
I live in London and do not understand how you could possibly manage on 12k a year unless you live with your parents or own your home outright and pay almost no bills and/or barely leave the house. You says it’s not luxury but I’d say it’s barely a step above poverty, how can you manage and what part of London do you live in? You must have to watch every penny and it must totally miserable or I just don’t understand anything at all. Can you describe your life in general? What sort of food do you eat? Do you have children?
The irony.

Another greate option for training people during growth are the Harrison Metal classes, starting with General Management. If you are a first time manager (or even a seasoned one!) in a growing startup, its an invaluable crash course in business.
There is. Firefox quantum is better than Chrome. The only thing is pushbullet doesn't quite show popus correctly. It works with all the major streaming services, and just feels better. Now if only client side window decoration would come sooner, I want to ridded of that ugly title bar. I miss fedora's firefox 57 build.
Restaurants do have shifts but no it is not rare to get called on your day off if you’re a good server who is up for additional shifts and does a good job with them. Nor would it be crazy to get called to two at once because often times if it’s a busy day for one it could be a busy day for another.

And again these are irrelevant details. The point remains solid.
If this is just a warning, that's one thing. If it becomes a solid block, it means more hassle for everyone running an intranet, and a huge liability for millions of long-lived devices with embedded web servers for browser-based configuration.
Sure, but you don't bring your own table to work. And you don't get to leave in the middle of your shift and go to the other job just because you feel like it.
When my university wanted to keep sea gulls away from the patio they strung fishing line all over.
Your mistake is in assuming that someone is trying to solve some scholarly distinction between who matches the dictionary definition of either term better.

No. It's a tax construct, and that is the only criteria we should use to measure it.
I don't think so. The only thing you're allowed to do is stuff like Wireshark, where you observe the behavior and not the actual code.
I would never consider it theft, because I think the conversion of information into property and the criminalisation of copying is fundamentally misguided.

It does of course enable certain capitalist business models which involve controlling a scarce resource, even though in this case the scarcity is artificial and threatened by the likes of Sci-Hub.
Couldn't we just use bird netting around our military bases?
I think the more apt comparison to letting people die if they can afford healthcare is for Equifax to make all their data public, and you can pay Equifax a couple thousand a month to make data about you private.
Yeah, that's what I meant. The economic and political incentives for this are gigantic. There's no reason not to collect data if you can.

Combine that with the lucrative pay for the workers and whatever... It's a bit like trying to convince coal miners to stop working because of global warming, but instead make coal mining a very cushy job with 3x the pay.
The double bounce that the stock market has just done, a high run up, then a dip, then a bounce up, then it goes down, is classic and it signals a bigger drop. I'm not a pro, that's what my guy at Morgan Stanley says. So I think pcurve may be right.

11 years old (1980-1981) learning to program a ZX spectrum in machine code (yes machine code - not assembler). No internet. Just a single thin "Z80 Machine Code Programming" book for reference, and nobody to ask for help. A roller coaster experience from deep despair to an ultimate high :-)
Indeed friend. I would love more people like this in mass. We need good friends and altruistic folk that think of others. I would love to be rich too and do the same as you say yet I highly dislike the entire flock of zebras who regulate who gets it and who doesnt. Hard work is important but Network is truly luck. I may have a library of ideas never implemented yet I am blocked by who I know and even if I go and find folk I am blocked by their perception of me. Its certainly interesting to see US as the land of opportunity.

The thing is people can be very rational and fact based and still be out of their league in various topics or have strong biases that they do or don't realize.

Here's a thread where someone is getting downvoted for asking a question because people don't like the implication of that question, it doesn't fit the biases of the audience. That's not rational and fact based, its suppressing views we don't like.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16337180

There are many examples like that, and one of the dangers of "rational" communities is we assume we're rational and can't mess it up, when really we aren't any different.
Twitter can be a very valuable resource if you follow the right people.

No matter what industry you are interested in, there are leaders worth following on Twitter.

One example for finance, Cliff Asness. He's a billionaire quant hedge fund guy, but he tweets every day.

There's a ton of investors, businesspeople, reporters, programmers, researchers, etc. that are very active on Twitter, not to mention the plethora of comedy accounts that I find hilarious.

It's easy to work out (that Shakespeare was possibly in touch with Thomas North, or they were only one bounce apart):

Keen has been my go to for hiking and labor footwear. The quality reminds me of the Merrill gear I'd get in the early aughts. I'm not a runner though, so I can't speak to that aspect, but in the mountains and on the flats (and in snow and ice) they've been great to me.
Most corporate networks are going to inspect or block HTTPS traffic too. They have security and regulatory compliance concerns, and consequently deploying tools capable of intercepting that traffic is pretty much the norm these days. It's all but certain that if you have a work PC then your contract/handbook/etc. states that this may happen, unless you're in an area where the legal basis for this sort of inspection is weaker.

Protecting people who aren't at work but are using a potentially hostile network (public WiFi, etc.) from their own device is certainly a legitimate concern.
It would be interesting to play with a left-to-right timeline for any tweet replies or conversations. It would leave the standard timeline alone, but allow users to scroll right to deep dive into specific conversations.
It would be cool after some time to see some abundance of data showing the service works. As someone who went to an arguably elite (or near elite) school, took advantage of numerous opportunities to chat with insiders, and still failed hard at breaking into investment banking, I am skeptical but convinceable.

I bet you could charge (and have people actually pay) 10x or even 100x if you offered a money back guarantee. I would have paid $N,000 (and maybe $N0,000) without even thinking about it if I only had to pay if I got the job.

If Amazon is smart, they will keep their brand out of Whole Foods, at least until they rehabilitate it some. Neither media or public sentiment towards Amazon is great right now for a variety of reasons, many of which have been posted on HN. Some people are getting disturbed that it seems like they can only get important goods from one company; indeed, this is basically the monopoly future that Amazon wants. Personally, I don't want to feel like I'm being stalked or "optimized" by Amazon at my local Whole Foods.

I don't think we've seen the end of non-Amazon retail yet. When almost every transaction is conducted through Skinnerian workflows developed by MBAs in Seattle and neural networks running in Virginia data centers, doing all your shopping at Walmart is an act of radical physicality.

Most people would do the same as you do, even people working for Facebook and Google. I have friends who work at Monsanto and are absolutely believing they are doing good for the humanity. Look at Agent Orange by Monsanto, I wouldn't think any scientist who worked on it thought it would be used as the something that made thousands of newborn lives to live in hell. They thought you made a herbicide to help the poor farmers, in reality, the government used it as a defoliant chemical in wars, and tens of years later, the real reality turned out to be deformed children. How do we know what happened to Agent Orange won't happen again with sweet corn, GMO, social profiling, facial recognition, voice profiling, etc?

However, if we're afraid to do anything for fear of bad consequences, we could as well do nothing. I don't think that there is any way to know for sure. All we know is that right now, we do see here, a possibility for bad consequences to happen. Real-life situations are not as black and white as a call from Kim Jong Un asking us to nuke the world. We aren't smarter than the guys telling us to use the talents we have to serve their purpose. The only thing I could think of so far is to not depend on their pay or their recognition or personal fame.
IANAL. However, my understanding is if you have an existing business relationship, no opt-in is needed.
I'm not aware of this test. In Aus last winter we were peforming nasal swabs but results weren't available for at least a day.

i've just come across [0] which describes roughly what you're talking about.

a bit further digging shows it was available at the hospital I work at according to their press releases. I assume it worked via some sort of compartmentalised ELISA which is pretty awesome.

I'm guessing there's something to do with syllabic grouping here, where we're naturally doing some optimization to form easily repeatable syllable groups. The other case would be to avoid making ambiguous sounding noises.

Take for example the inclusion of two '0' digits sequentially. Excluding the case where it's a 1-800 number, which indicates its own class of phone number. Let's look at a hypothetical example here: 459-2001. I'm pretty sure most English speakers would pronounce the final clause in this hypothetical number: "two-zero-zero-one", because "oh-oh" could blend together.

Any other rule, I think, would then follow how you approach grouping the numbers. In the case of the first three of seven digits in the number, in my experience a number is unlikely to start with a 0, (i.e. 019-9949), but in the case that a "group" does, I would definitely lean toward "zero", in that case "zero-one-nine" sounds infinitely better than starting with "oh".

It makes sense that "oh" would work better in between two other digits, and I'm having trouble imagining any three-digit zero sandwich (101, 102, ... 201, 202, 203 etc.) that doesn't sound better as "oh".

If the '0' is the final number in the group, I also think I say "zero". Try out 450, 290, etc. or even 050.

When you get to four digits, I think that's where interpretation might come into play. 5057 sounds equally good as "five-oh-five-seven" or "five-zero-five-seven" to me, though I might prefer the latter. Maybe that's when the speaker has to decide how to group, and in the case of a repeating pattern, that might change the way they inflect, too. Swap one digit in the previous example and you get 5050, which to me, instantly seems like it would switch to two groups of "five-zero".
When I'm tired, I sometimes jumble the word order in my sentences while speaking.

I didn't have this until middle age, so I was scared about some kind of acute cognitive decline.

Seems to go away whenever I get back to healthy sleep patterns.

I think the Russian attack does seem state sponsored. 10 + 3 at once, they could not land so no practice runs and thousand+ $ each, claimed 100km range..... Seems to organised.

And don't read "Kill Decision" for this topic, it misses the mark totally with drones. Unlike Daemon and FreedomTM which were really great books to read by the same author.

Also jump on the Telegram rooms for the markets in Syria for the latest for sale. Interesting stuff. Even side things like they are using commercial grade golfing range finders for something.... Mortar attacks?
Yes, SQL engines tend to be much smarter than the SQL languages as such.
That's just like, your opinion, man.
In college, a friend of mine got what appeared to be the flu. None of us (including him) worried about it, figuring he'd be fine in a couple days. He started getting a bit weaker, so one of us decided to drive him to the ER, just in case. He didn't feel bad or anything, just tired.

The ER physician took one look at him and admitted him, shocking us by saying he was within hours of death. He spent a couple days being pumped full of antibiotics, and recovered, but it was a close call. The doctors never did figure out just what it was.

All these years later, and it still distresses me.
I've been MITM'd numerous time in the past. I've been MITM by corporate netorks filtering my traffic. I've been MITM'd by scummy and public wifi hotspots trying to inject ads. My own domain provider once MITM'd my domain in a weird attempt to tell me my domain was expiring...

I'm not trying to protect myself from a targeted attack. I'm trying to protect myself from the enormous amount of scummy behavior in this whole industry. When I connect to my bank, I want my data to be secure not only against malicious activity, but negligence and incompetence. This is the threat model that HTTPS-Everywhere protects against.

Sure, people get bitten by viruses and phishes. But let's fix things one step at a time.
What is the point of this comment? To disparage the complainant? Who cares if he's a meth head and dead beat dad. It has no bearing on whether Uber, Lyft, etc. are acting within the law or not.
Perhaps more interesting is the Stanford Review's response:

"Palumbo-Liu claims that we make the egregious error of failing to distinguish between the term “antifa” and its variant “antifascist,” used in the name of his organization the Campus Antifascist Network. Given that perhaps the most prominent scholar of the antifa movement, Mark Bray, has titled his book Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook, I hope that we may be forgiven for equivocating the two terms. Claiming that they have separate meanings in today’s political culture is Bill Clinton-level linguistic obfuscation reminiscent of his infamous statement, “depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is.” "

Arizona Considers Allowing Residents to Pay Taxes in Bitcoin
> Someone will have to explain why I might pick ReasonML over Elm

* bigger team (Elm the lang itself is almost a one man show)

* openly developed (Elm's dev't is in private, for now at least)

* interop with JS is easier

* great interop with React

* has a company behind it (FB), who uses it in production (messenger.com)

* already works on the server (with Node and with experimental native compilation (bsb-native))

* server-side native compilation is within the vision the core team (not so much with Elm)

* a lib exists for The Elm Architecture (TEA), see the bucklescript-tea package

* JS'ish (C'ish) syntax (Elm has an ML like syntax) -- this may or may not be your thing, I think it makes FP more accessible

* not pure functional (like Elm), thus allows mutation and side effects -- this may or may not be your thing, it makes interop with JS easier but comes with less strong safety guarantees

> Elm's community seems very focused on making front-end development as intuitive and hassle-free as possible.

Elm's community is great, but probably smaller than ReasonML's community in the long run, as I expect FB to use it a lot internally and thus has a great patron. Also, most big tech has their own language: Apple/Swift(ObjC), Google/Go(Dart), Mozilla/Rust, FB/Reason. I think it is the only language that potentially facilitate both FE, mobile and server-side dev't. It's a very interesting pick at this point.

> ReasonML seems like Facebook just wanted to leverage a pre-existing community but couldn't bring themselves to adopt the syntax so rewrote it in-house.

Yes. And to me this does not sound bad. They took OCaml, and BuckleScript, then added a new syntax, some tooling and libraries. They positioned a language that ticks a lot of boxes in a very short time, and since it has free interop with OCaml it comes with quite a strong lib ecosys for native (server-side) dev't.
I wonder what would happen if Apple bought Elsevier, and made all of its journals available on any Apple device for $100/yr? A reasonable thing to do with its cash hoard, no?
Amazon, or Bezos, could probably raise the money to swing a hostile takeover.
Yep. The Internet in general was better before it was interesting to the general population. Take me back to the late 90's, please.
Winter Olympics’ Security on Alert, but Hackers Have a Head Start
Why are you arguing against basic server administration if you're, y'know, a server admin?
I use the neverssl.com trick and I worry: if browsers stop supporting plan HTTP, doesn't it mean this won't work anymore?
Chrome 64 is already a hassle for intranets. It adds "Not Secure" to the address bar whenever the user enters text on an HTTP site.
Will the extra magic of the green box make users more secure? Does paying for a certificate make the certificate more trustworthy?

These are actually serious questions that I think the CA/Browser Forum are discussing (particularly in terms of the issuing requirements and UI representation for EV certificates), but I think it often boils down to the "feeling" of security, relying on the supposition that criminals would be less successful if their site didn't have the magical green box, or that they would be easier to catch by tracing the credit card payment they used to buy their certificate.

It's very difficult to get it all correct enough to keep a significant portion of the email sent through your SMTP site from being considered spam by mainstream email providers such as Google.

This doesn't change the problems of unreliable email because mail services are too aggressive, unfortunately.

We recently got a bounced mail (not dumped in a spam folder, actively rejected) from a major university, telling us that the message looked like unsolicited bulk mail. The message was sent directly to a specific single customer in response to a purchase they had just made, contained information that we were required by law to provide to them, and was sent from a reputable host with things like SPF properly set up. That is simply broken, and it is 100% the fault of the mail service admins at the university.
Yeah this is definitely true, it's very easy to rack up huge prices when there aren't bounds, and AWS provides bounds which is great. Lambda, S3, CloudFront, APIGateway, etc. are an incredible boon for any startup.

However, the way that AWS charges for throughput on DynamoDB is deceptive -- you can easily bottleneck the system with a hot spot, yet you would need to pay for bandwidth increases everywhere to raise the limit for that single hot spot. This lack of granularity seems to be due to DynamoDB's technical design, and/or lack of a better charging system.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14721920

I remember reading an article on how some company ran into a bunch of problems due to their non-uniform query distribution, but I can't find it. I am not an expert, but I would avoid DynamoDB today and stick with something like Cassandra or MongoDB for general NOSQL work. Hopefully DynamoDB has changed since I last encountered it as the idea is a very good one and fits well in the serverless ecosystem.
It does seem that China has implemented some impressive surveillance in Xinjiang. And it does seem that Uighurs are being targeted. And the methods were developed in Tibet. But racial profiling isn't the focus of the article. It focuses on the methods.

Also, although there may be some China bashing in the background, I don't see anything about the US being better. And it doesn't take much imagination to see how such total surveillance is becoming normalized here.
Don't know what all those things are, no, but I know what to expect. With this I had no idea but wished I did.

Not notable? Luckily it was just a HN comment not a wikipedia page. :-)
