Note, I gave two versions of the secretary :) - the non-professional and the professional one.

The professional secretary I described is a nurse. Also, the non-professional would effectively be a nurse. They just have different duties where the latter would also check-list through the doctors remedies. Note that this potion is not that of non-autonomous robot. They have the right and duty to double check on the doctors performance.

First, costs. Where I'm from nurses are fairly well trained professionals, but have a really low salary. They seem to keep at it. I could imagine a worse gig than GP:s assistant.

In single payer healthcare one should look at the total cost/benefit for the entire economy, not just how to minimize the cost for the single health center.

The cost of bad diagnosis or faulty recipe can be that the time of the doctor visit was completely wasted. Hence, the time used for the visit by the patient was completely wasted. If they need the medicine they need to reschedule - thus the cost doubles not only for the doctor, but also to the patient. And the direct cost is not the only cost. As we are effectively doubling our resource use, now we are clogging the system, and delaying other patients.

And. I don't get it why this needs to cost more. They have plenty of nurses at the health centers, for one accident or the other. They could just change the routines that the secretary-duty nurse gets a call if she's needed at some other place.

Of course, this is me looking at the situation through the lense of the single payer social healthcare scheme. The logic of the situation is probably different elsewhere.
Hello, I solved the challenge you mentioned a little over a week ago but I have not heard back. I was wondering when I can expect to hear back from someone (sent an email to the email address provided at the end of the challenge on January 25). Looking forward to hearing back! You can contact me at alejandro dot b dot angulo at gmail dot com as well if you'd like.
Optimistic. On the whole, things are getting better globally despite what the media proclaims. My concern for the future is the continued automation of jobs that sometimes unemploys thousands of people without a valid skill set to fall back on. Despite being raised conservative and having some libertarian views, I've found it increasingly more difficult to not think more seriously about UBI (universal basic income). We're not there yet, but I believe in the next century we'll get to a point where most people won't need to work. As a society, we need to start thinking how this should work. How to keep the population educated and motivated to continue human progress. How does one contribute in these circumstances? What basics should be provided by the state? Should population control measures be introduced?

Hey, author here!

I definitely agree that Promises - and the whole async story in ReasonML - is pretty poor atm and ripe for improvement in the near future. I'm not sure what you mean by, "remember to resolve them," though?

I've helped Wojtek Czekalski out a bit with a small library called vow[1] that provides a more type-safe way of using Promises in BuckleScript/ReasonML - it needs a bit clean up (update to new syntax, publish to npm) that I might do in the coming weeks. Nick Cuthbert has a PR for making it completely sound[2] that might land soon as well, which might change the API but provide even more safety.

I believe that you're thinking of LANL's "Green Freedom" concept:

http://bioage.typepad.com/greencarcongress/docs/greenfreedom...

They estimated that it required a pump price of $4.60/gallon for gasoline to be economically viable, given their other assumptions. The authors assumed relatively low cost nuclear power from Generation III reactors. But the Green Freedom concept seems like it would also work with sufficiently cheap large scale renewable electricity production.
automatic plant watering with voting continuation in different place
the creator of Please Take care of my plant has been missing for almost a month now. I know he posted on here about 1/2 year ago informing you guys about his project and you all liked the idea so I though I'd let you know about this update. The community has taken it into their own hands to create a separate subreddit r/takecareofourplants in which the project can continue.I have uploaded my version of the project to this site and since the title is take care of OUR plants, I am encouraging others to upload theirs to the subreddit for voting as well. My system is a combination of arduino and raspberry pi. the people decide if the plant lives or dies and so far everyone has been extremely supportive. the link is below, let me know what you think. if you visit and vote please subscribe!

When you need an SPA it’s great. JQuery noodles are a past time and I’m not going back. If you need a blog or something just render it all sever-side and sprinkle some JS.
YouTube what?

I guess I just made your point.
Raising logic bugs from "this is maybe occasionally an annoyance, or cool piece of trivia" to "this is a security issue" seems like a bad idea in something as complex as Rust's compiler.

Especially when there are many currently known bugs of this sort:

I completely agree with you. I’ve been faithful since I was able to afford an iPhone in my mid 20s. I’ve determined that if something doesn’t change, this is my last iPhone. I’ll pile that on with the fact that Ive already decided not to get another MacBook for the same reason, and I went with an Amazon fire stick in my room instead of adding a second AppleTV.

I used to enjoy them because as a software developer, I want to come home from work and just have something I don’t have to figure out.
Ted thanks for the additional information, I'll make sure it gets forwarded to the right folks.

I'm not sure selling a phone that lasts 5 years is in the best interest of any phone company. And if it took that much just to sway you and company, then they might as well forgo this segment of the market because there are bigger fishes to fry. Don't get me wrong, the battery capacity will increase linearly but so will the consumption rendering about the same 1 day usage per charge.

Coinbase closed account with 7 figure USD worth crypto and not allowing withdrawal
Hello everyone,

I am writing this out of desperation more than anything else. I found out last month that i had a significant amount of ETH (in today's term) that i had bought in presale. I logged into my CB account after years to liquidate it but could not withdraw much as my ids are expired. As i transferred ETH from my pvt wallet to CB and sold some but could not beyond a limit. After a few attempts at validating my account Coinbase closed it stating that i had violated terms of use. They still show the option to 'withdraw' my ETH when i try to log in but the option never works. I also see that the balance is slightly lower than what it was. After 3-4 weeks of no luck from Coinbase i finally got through a representative who escalated the issue but the team did not get back to me still (has been a week).

My worst fear is that Coinbase has lost my crypto, it is not even telling me the reason for closing my account. I needed my transaction for tax purposes and they have not even checked on that issue.

I am losing my sanity, health and everything. First to find out that i have a significant wealth suddenly and then to see it disappearing into Coinbase without any valid explanation.

I have seen many Cb issues for much smaller amounts here, can you imagine my case. I am really out of ideas here, have spent the last few weeks distraught, frustrated and unable to do anything.
I work for a company with a massive rust codebase. Rust is very much about building production code.

What is 'good production code' ?

* Few errors
* Readable, well documented
* Testable, has tests, has testing tools like quickcheck, fuzzing, etc
* Meets performance constraints

Rust hits those better than any language I've used. The downside is, oh gosh, you'll have to actually learn a programming language that isn't just another variation of the ones you learned in school.
Ask HN: What did you write about?
I assume that a set of HN users have some degree in computer science. I am myself studying my 4th semester. Starting to reflecy what I shall write my thesis about.

What did you write about in your bachelor/master thesis?
Domestic, high volume production car with a timing chain, not timing belt. I've spent thousands of dollars at repair shops on timing belt replacements. A typical replacement will set you back $800-$1,000.

High volume production helps with finding parts when you need to repair, finding folks on Craigslist that are parting out cars etc.

In my county I have a huge tax advantage driving older cars (2002, 2009). I had to pay my annual personal property tax in Dec. and it was $140, I was able to check online what a friend of mine paid, and his tax was $1,400. He likes newer cars.

Stay away from digital dash do-dads. When electrical stuff goes bad, can be expensive to repair and difficult to trouble-shoot on your own.

The other cars to look at are the nerd-mobiles: older mini-vans, Crown Victoria, larger 4 door domestic cars that have a reputation for being uncool. You know the stereotype: older person with Crown Vic, one owner...

My opinion on Japanese cars: quality and reliability are probably 5% better, but sellers always over-reach and ask for a 50-80% higher price. So unless you find a smoking deal, steer clear.
You're not verifying a language, you're verifying a program (or some part of one). Sure- that part in this instance may be implementing a language standard library, but who cares? That program also has tests, docs, types and all the other things people use to convince themselves of correctness.

It really is like unit testing. There too you could make the argument that in some cases untestable code might be worth it if the alternative is an api that's hard to use. And there too an api may well be used many orders of magnitudes more frequently than it is changed. I think you have to decide that on a case by case basis (at least, I can't think of any convincing general argument there).

> any number of road fatalities is too many

Why? It's easy to lower the number of road fatalities to zero: ban cars. But I think most people would consider that too high a price to pay.

I have discussed these techniques with a monk who went trough the Tibetan 3 year, 3 month, 3 days retreat.

Their lucid dreaming techniques is basically similar as how non-mediators train to do it and the training happens towards the end of the several year long isolated retreat. The only difference is the extensive amount of preparation. For example, when you learn to sleep in sitting posture (in a wooden box that supports the posture) sleep becomes naturally more light.

Even then, being able to keep lucid dream constantly is not necessarily easy and the ability do it can disappear quickly. The guy I talked with said that while he learned to wake into lucid dreaming in most nights, he never learned to fall asleep while conscious.

ps. It's interesting how many classical Buddhist 'psycic abilities' can be explained by yogis training in lucid dreaming states. Walking trough walls is classical ability described in Buddhist texts and that's one thing they trained during lucid dreaming.
My trackpad handwriting isn't the most legible, but apparently everything came out as being a "6."
I had the same experience with first Volt I leased. I knew more about the car than the salespeople and they kept trying to sell me something different. Even vehicles that were a lot cheaper.

They were going out of their way to not sell/lease that car I walked in there to get.

That 3 year lease was great and now I own one outright that I bought used with 15,000 miles on it in perfect condition after 1 year...for about $15k. The car is fantastic and while I’m sure the Tesla is nicer, the price point is too good. Car dealers and even used car dealers seem to hate them for some reason.

Maintenance has been easy and sport mode may or may not have resulted in a couple of speeding tickets.
Brace yourself for virtue signaling about how bad PHP is because <insert wart from 10 year old version>. On a less cynical note, working in both Node and PHP, async is often more cumbersome than it's worth (for me) and a queue suffices.

Now I understand the question, thank you.

So, _inflation_ is a term normally used for increase of good's prices over time as measured in the currency of the country where you're buying the goods. So you can't use the term inflation to mean "the conversion rate was 2.20 NLG for 1 EUR and within a few months everything because as expensive in amount of EUR as it was before in NLG." This isn't a mere technicality. You can't measure increase in price across the moment when the EUR was introduced, because the EUR didn't exist before that and the NLG didn't exist after that.

In my opinion the conversation onwards should be: if something happened, what interesting metrics should we be looking at to detect it and measure it? Let me suggest one: number of hours of median salary needed to buy the CPI basket of goods. Measure that before and after the introduction of the EUR. If that number increased, then you can say that consumers lost purchasing power. Loss of purchasing power does not necessarily follow as a consequence of inflation (although it can) but is usually the bad consequence of inflation that people worry the most about.

They are indeed accidents, using the definition which implies unexpectedness (rather than the definition which implies chance).

They may be 'safe' for the people in the car, but not for the people who get hit.

It's cars crashing into bicycles, pedestrians or buses (causing the buses to avoid them and crash) that are the major issue.

The people who die in car crashes are innocent healthy people. Often killed by people who never think how dangerous cars are and assume that they themselves are safe.

One of the major bus crashes [0] was caused by a drunk SUV driver over taking a bus too fast in the rain, losing control, crashing into the bus and killing numerous passengers. The SUV driver only suffered slight injuries.

> Statements of fact with no supporting work are powerfully scary.

You're arguing against a strawman. The post you're replying to didn't say anything about removing the supporting work.
> Then an unaccountable algorithm closes your Google account, and suddenly all that data is inaccessible.

Then a fire destroys your local backups, and suddenly all that data is inaccessible.

Like I said, traditional snapshot backups are still a good extra step, but cloud storage has brought very good backup practices to the vast majority of the population. The difference versus ten years ago is probably several orders of magnitude.

It's not a bug per se, it's just different from the real thing.

> I don't care about who wins or loses

So this more or less confirms what I am thinking which is people who do watch do for other reasons not because they care about the game in particular. So essentially it's a manufactured event similar to what we call in the US "A Hallmark Holiday". [1]

Are you referring to the 'keras' R package as a hack? From your comment, it rather sounds like a disagreement in design principles, not a hack.

If you are referring to the act of mixing "rmarkdown, keras and kerasjs" to run deep learning models inside a slide as a hack, that would make much more sense.

Could you please clarify?
Speaking as an outsider to Western/American culture, this is one of the worst parts of America. There are millions of people peddling the bullshit dream of "success" (whatever that means) and the implied message of "work harder" in every corner of the media and workplace. Which is great if you reap 100% of the rewards, but for most its only a way to make them compliant worker-bees competing with each other for scraps that the higher-ups dose out at their leisure.

Hypercentralization is a contributing factor (and indeed an enabler) of the main problem, which its the exploitation of attention. It is, in itself, not bad, and not in itself a problem.

I don't think I see your connection - walking through walls was seemingly possible because yogis dreamed they could do it?
That’s why I love the Volt. It’s just tremendously more practical to use electric for the commute but still have access to gas for long trips.
It’s an English word for rougher lower class young men. People look down on them, it’s partially a class thing and partially how they dress and how they’re just boisterous. Don’t know what the equivalent word in the USA is but in Australia we say Bogan which is similar.

"Microsoft is planning a new “S Mode” for Windows 10 Home, Enterprise, and Pro. This S Mode will essentially lock down any copy of Windows 10 so it can only run apps from the Microsoft Store, and does exactly what the dedicated Windows 10 S operating system was built to do ... Microsoft is reportedly planning to allow Windows 10 Home users to disable the S Mode free of charge, but Windows 10 Pro customers with S Mode enabled on their device will be forced to pay $49 to get access to a full version of Windows 10 Pro."
