Really, you think there's a market for healthcare?

Try walking into a hospital and asking how much something costs. I can tell you that you won't/can't get an answer in over 60%, specifically because the software they use does not show prices only billing codes! So the person providing care can not find out how much it costs... how are you supposed to choose?

Try calling billing once you have the correct code. I can tell you what happened in my case. I called 4 times and navigated a phone tree for 5 minutes each time waiting on hold. Why did I call 4 times... because they said that I needed to connect to a different number, but would not transfer me. Then the next person I talked to asked me to speak to yet another department. Then that department promised to send me the information (what I was being charged for code=treatment, and what the bill=$$ was for it) but after 4 weeks I hadn't received it. When I called back, I wouldn't leave until they actually looked it up and told me over the phone (which they could have done the first time).

Let's be clear, obfuscating medical costs for customers is a core insurance company competency (like hiring doctors outside of specialty to decline coverage for treatments of patients who's records they have not read- see Aetna investigation). So, if you want to know how much something is going to cost you for treatment, I recommend self-diagnosis. You can bill yourself what you want for it... then you can call the billing department and ask for every single code and figure out which ones should be required to reach your diagnosis and provide treatment. Then you can try to get them to tell you what value is assigned to each billing code. Then you can go to the hospital and tell the nurses and doctors exactly what they should do and what codes to use.

What? Hardly. The people who drive for Uber and Lyft are able-bodied adults who could be doing other unskilled labor positions for much more than zero. There's a real opportunity cost here.

Hopefully studies like this help the drivers recognize their value and they can negotiate better (leave until their rates increase).

There has to be a way to use tech to anonymize vetting and hiring until the hired candidate shows up for work the next day. Phone interviews could be handled in such a way that gender can’t be determined say by using voice scramblers. Whiteboarding can be done in separate rooms with a digital whiteboard that evaluators see and where the candidate can ask questions but not be seen. Etc etc. or, or, people could stop being biased which as you get more educated you become less racist and biased and sexist I thought.
Reverse example: I've only [1] let my child consume Swedish media (mostly the SVT app Barnkanalen, while we live in the US) and their accent is really good, and they often correct me and remind me of how something should be said.

So yeah. Foreverish.
You were on track to making an interesting point and then went off course. It's not unreasonable to conclude that academia has a left-of-center bias, it is unreasonable to conclude that left-of-center biased academics feel right-of-center beliefs are something that needs curing.

I expect that you wouldn't be receiving down votes if you had omitted that last sentence.
And you don't think that should be put into source control?

It is just as important to control process documents as it is to control source code files.
I'm located in Eastern Europe and I am a European citizen. If I were in Germany it would probably be NSFW indeed. I wouldn't want to trigger them.

In my country and my working environment there'd be no risk for me whatsoever.

Why is it that much NSFW to read an article that describes the technical merits of a game where the player kills Nazis?
"enough" of a specific demographic in this sort of discussion usually means "roughly proportionate to that group's percentage of the overall population". this belief is held most ardently by those who attribute the difference in outcomes to societal pressures (as opposed to inherent biological differences). of course this is mainly relevant in the context of an entire field or industry and not a specific company's workforce (although if the company is big enough the lines blur).
Good read. Too bad none of that made it into the documentation.

Privacy is a spectrum, and not all of us have the patience/time to deal with Tor.

I consider myself somewhat tech-fluent (not in the industry) and privacy-oriented, but there's a happy medium of installing FF on my dayjob computer and loading it up with ublock Origin/privacy badger/etc versus some of the other suggestions. I'm OK with the occasional day-to-day leak if most of the footprint can be obscured.
I read it, and I think DanHulton described it in pretty much the same way I would. The charts struck me as lacking meaningful context, and loose correlations were treated as logical, causal relationships in support for discriminatory hypotheses, reading like a case study in how to fallaciously present opinion as fact through charts and statistics.
I would not recommend you waste time with Cogo Labs. A large portion of their incubated companies essentially boil down to being paid to send affiliate (cough spam) email, and digging through shady clickstream data. There are definitely some smart people working there, but there is a reason this post mostly drops buzzwords.
Insurance for driving an Uber/Lyft is much more expensive than regular insurance, because it's considered commercial. In previous years, people could get away with not having it, but today every insurance company asks specifically if this vehicle was ever used in a driving service and will deny claims if it was found to be.
I was on a multi-corporate task force on medical errors in the late 1990s and the working number was about 80,000 deaths per year. I remember GM saying that statistically it worked out to something like one GM worker or retiree like every week, and that if they had that kind of mayhem on the assembly line there'd be outrage... but the inept health care system just quietly kills people.
> although over long period of time, it's going to be the worse one.

Why do you believe that? Are there specific examples you're thinking of? How do you know it's too far?
Which confirms what he said?
Yes and no. It's not insane from Facebook's perspective. If you're wasting money on Facebook ads, why would they want to give you a tool that helps you figure it out?

What mystifies me is that people haven't demanded more of this. People spend literally billions on online ads, with very little ability to validate whether it accomplishes anything. The fact that they haven't been screaming for rigorous experimental trials of ads for years blows me away.

> It is interesting that in nearly all articles on this (by now fairly well established) correlation, it is phrased as "higher than normal disgust sensitivity by people with right-of-center beliefs", not "lower than normal disgust sensitivity by people with left-of-center beliefs". It's like academia regards right of center political beliefs as a disease that needs curing...

Maybe I've missed it (I scanned the article) but I don't see where it says that people with left of centre beliefs have lower than normal disgust sensitivity.

My recommendation is if there's a consistent theme to your own utility library, then refine that into a proper standalone library. Otherwise just have a repo to store the code and copy/paste it into projects as needed.

You'd think this would be an unnecessary step, since we provided a link to the USPTO filing, and we provided our incorporation documents when becoming a vendor.

The issue with the Amazon case management system is if you encounter a customer service rep who has no idea who you're talking about, there's no way to escalate the support case at all. There's no live person to talk to. So, you end up playing roulette, often having to submit the same case multiple times until you get a rep who is able to help.
Nothing gets HN more riled up these days than a good story about healthcare in America.
As a black IT professional, I tend to leave the demographic information blank on applications because I want to avoid the racial implications of my application. I don't know if I'll be dismissed because I'm black and I don't want to be an affirmative action hire either.

I made it to the 3rd round of interviews with Google back in 2012. Maybe if I had told them I was black, I would have gotten the job.
Plenty of professions, actually. Especially those where skills cultivated by individuals become highly specialized, and companies thus maintain a large number of employees to ensure their business requirements (including billing and bookkeeping) are met by dedicated staff of sufficient skill level. Not all medical practice can be done like sole-proprietor design shops.

Are you implying that if they were not earning $3/hr, they would use those hours to sit around and mope? The point is that $3/hr is a very small reward for your time when compared to pretty much any other use of that hour(i.e. flipping burgers, bagging groceries, making coffee is 3x as lucrative)

> Sounds like a typical American family doctor's office?

Not any that I have ever been to, and I have been to several across two different metro areas.

> All of them in my area have long waiting lists.

I have yet to encounter a waiting list.

> You don't just show up at the front door like it's an auto mechanic's shop, you call to schedule your annual physical.

Actually, I just book an appointment. Only once have I started out with my physical being the first appointment.

Calling to book an appointment requires being a registered patient or member of that office.

> Calling to book an appointment requires being a registered patient or member of that office.

I am not a "member" of my doctor's office, not have I ever been. I just go on ZocDoc or my insurance company's website, pick a doctor, and make an appointment. Sure, some are marked as "not accepting new patients", but I just ignore those.

> If they are, they'll get your medical records transferred and set you up for an intake appointment where they check to make sure that they know your status, and then you are able to schedule future visits.

I have never had my medical records transferred, nor have I ever had an intake appointment. I just go in, discuss my issues, present any relevant history myself, and go from there. If I ever become dissatisfied, I just start going somewhere else.

> You certainly don't just call any convenient office and expect to get an appointment in the next couple days, that would be anarchy.

That's all I have ever done, so I don't see how I "certainly" don't. In fact, here is a ZocDoc PCP search using my insurance centered on Grand Central:

https://www.zocdoc.com/search?address=Grand%20Central%20Term...

There are seven doctors on that list that I could see today. No intake appointment, no physical, none of this crap you are talking about.

So I ask again, what kind of system are you dealing with?
Yes as they say that's what the receptionist is to triage patients so that the worried well or those with a cold who want antibiotics dont get seen as quickly as those of with chronic conditions
Even though those response times are off the charts
I think the economics of driving marginally for Uber/Lyft (when you already own a car and pay insurance) are much better than driving exclusively for Uber/Lyft (when you have the bear the full cost of the auto purchase and insurance against your Uber/Lyft earnings).
The results also seem to defy common sense.

While it's relatively easy to believe that the income from driving for Uber and Lyft is lower than most people imagine and it is relatively easy to believe that a small fraction of drivers are actually losing money by driving, it is difficult to believe that that fully 1/3 of drivers are continuing to impoverish themselves.

I'm not saying it's not true, but without supporting details it seems clickbaity.
I'm sure many successful people are sociopaths. Your counter example does not counter what I said. Sociopaths are often intelligent, confident and likeable when they want to be.

The thing is though, as a society, we're dishonest for the appearance of legitimacy on nearly every subject. I mean, that's basically the same reason we don't admit our severe racial biases.

Biases are a part of life. Not admitting them is a part of life. Where Twitter goes off the rails, is not in failing to recognize and admit to their own bias, but rather in failing to recognize and admit to the conflicting biases of everyone using their platform.

Twitter recognizing their own bias does little at all to solve the core issue they are speaking to in the missive. They need to change the behavior of their users, and I'm not at all sanguine about their ability to do that.
You say 'only millions records'. Even if you had 2^36 records (that's over 68 billion) the chances of a collision should be 0.0000000000000004

That really is vanishingly small.

So, rationally, I'd guess it is more likely there is a problem with the implementation of UUID you are using, or just perhaps there is some other cause of the collision...like a bug?

> It a bit more than couple of minutes to download installer, install it somewhere (livecd doesn't have persistent /), install zfs there and only then go on doing whatever you were doing.

You don't need a persistent root. I'd already addressed that point. Just run modprobe and you're done.

>Compared to grabbing standard media you have somewhere, it will take at least 15 minutes extra.

Bullshit. I've done exactly what I described and it did not take me 15 minutes. Furthermore all you're doing is pre-emptively pushing the work to before your outage which you could do the same with the ISO (if you really wanted to compare apples with apples).

> Basics of system administration does not mean, that you are wasting your time, especially on something you can be without.

The whole point of this tangent was about when one needs an Live CD. Not about whether creating a live CD is worthwhile when you already have a USB key. That new argument you've invented is stupid because the answer is quite clearly "use the USB key if that's already in your draw." But what happens if you have a ZFS volume on a system and you don't already have a recovery media? (ie the original question) Well in that case you can use any of the methods I described. Or, of course, you can create a USB key too. But that will take just as long as the methods I described anyway (you still have to download the OS image, ZFS drivers and write them all to your storage medium. Thus all you're really doing is swapping out one chunk of plastic with another chunk of plastic).

Ah. To answer your previous question, no. Just like if my soup is too watery, I won't add more water, even if I have an effectively infinite supply on tap.
Ask any politician - there is power in appearing to be above the frailty of bias, apathy, etc. Hypothetically, if twitter wanted to purge it's platform of one side of the political spectrum, it would be far easier to do it for the sake of "collective health, openness, and civility", than for the real reason of "we don't like you".
It kind of implies that - "AI Cheats at Old Atari Games by Finding Unknown Bugs" would be an accurate title, but the extended "AI Cheats at Old Atari Games by Finding Unknown Bugs in the Code" tells that it's actually finding something in the code, as opposed to simply unexpected/emergent behavior.
Yeah, it depends on the project usually. It's like what you are hearing from people at XYZ (a higher rated company on Glassdoor than FB/GOOG I don't want to mention by name) who left to Google and 50% of them returning back after ~1 year telling everyone how much it sucked there :D

I really think you should stay in such a company for 1-3 years, build your cash cushion (i.e. stage 1 booster) and then lift-off (make your own startup using connections you made).

I am a female engineer. All of this is so frustrating because whether what Google is doing is right or wrong (and I do have opinions on that to come) about how they are going about this, regardless, this kind of media buzz belittles the general view of value add of female engineers like me.

I work really hard, and I don't want to be given extra breaks, or have the bar lowered. I would rather fail an interview (and I have) than be given a boost in the process.

That being said, one thign that annoys me about the media scrutinizing tech companies like this, is that the MEDIA themselves is one of the most masogogynistic cultures out there, with the most widespread global impact on the perception of male and female roles in society, yet they have the audacity to scrutinize industries who have done far more for society, pumped far more into education programs for just females, both males and females, science fairs etc and provided more opportunities to open the playing field than anyone else.

I went to an engineering school as an Electrical Engineer with a minor in Computer Science and my department was 5% female is f that, despite my school bragging 30% of our school was female. Yeh right, 90% of those girls were management majors, the rest of us were sparsely strewn across the engineering majors.
They're slowly inventing operating systems, complete with hypervisor technology, with all the gargantuan complexity that it implies, to please big business that wants the client OS to essentially become obsolete.
There is a good chance if this was true it was just the result of a rogue manager. You can imagine some managers might have incentives to increase diversity, and there is also a policy of non-discrimination in hiring. However, one of the easy ways to increase diversity to achieve your objectives might be to engage in a discriminatory hiring policy. So it might be very tempting for some managers to go rogue if they are not able to hit their objectives using non-discriminatory methods.
I'm interested in your definition of privilege. How exactly do the millions of variables that make up a person's life get outweighed by their skin color? Especially when we're comparing two people with similar job paths and economic equality? And how will answering this question not imply making drastic assumptions about an individual based on their race?
