Former pharmacist here. I think most doctors do try to be cost conscious for the patient. But there are some who prescribe the newest and expensive brand name drug, and I can’t think of any reason why except some sort of incentive program.

Many ophthalmologists will give the most expensive post surgical drops. When I called one to have him change it, he was like “uh, there’s no substitute.” I thought to myself, “then what did you guys do before these drugs came out a couple months ago?” Example: post cataract surgery people usually get an antibiotic, a corticosteroid, and an anti inflammatory. These generic drugs have been on the market for years. But new ones come out here and there that are hella expensive, we’re talking a copay of $5.00 vs $100+ per eye drop.

Also there are prescribing guidelines called step therapy. For example for diabetes: https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/117853-treatment#d10 doctors will skip the first few steps and prescribe a brand name drug immediately that’s like step 3.

Insurance companies try to stop it by requiring authorization but... I feel like we’re fighting an uphill battle with perverse incentives.

Even if you had definitive proof of this, I think OP's assertion still stands.

Concerning yourself with highly complex reactions that could happen between foods, when we aren't even sure how/if those reactions happen is effort spent unwisely, whereas calorie counting has a definitive effect and even if those combinations can hamper or help you, even by ignoring them, you still have the overall desired result.

I find that, as a model, calorie in - calorie out works well, even if at some future time we would discover it's not fully accurate.
This can be true in a lot of areas, but honestly the LGBTQ subreddits (and to an extent tumblr) are far better than most community discussion sites. I’ve made a ton of real-world friendships that wouldn’t have been possible otherwise.

In some marginalized communities, there is a tendency for the most marginalized people to impose their needs upon the entire group, which drives away many others. As a result, many physical LGBTQ resource centers and online forums are the fiefdoms of a few people who are easily “triggered” and create strange rules to manipulate people. These places tend to be especially unwelcoming and intimidating to people who recently discovered their identity.

Reddit’s mod system (and the fact if the mods go nuts you can easily create a new sub) actually helps protect against some of this by allowing subs to avoid excessive moderation of “marginal” content (usually discussion that brings up legitimate issues that may upset some members of the group). It’s easy for users to join anonymously, so no fear of your family finding out that you’re trying to figure out your same-sex attraction.

Users also tend to gravitate toward the subreddits with the most permissible rules, then filter out into smaller, more specialized subreddits as their interests grow. To look at a subreddit as consisting of the subreddit itself is limited; you also have to look at the other subreddits it’s users post in to get a real feel for the “community”. Reddit allows these Venn diagram relationships between spaces and communities in a similar way to how they occur in real life.

Also, Reddit has a big advantage for marginalized communities in that the site admins are relatively responsive to (and has provided moderator tools for dealing with) harassment, and Reddit is large enough it won’t wilt under a sustained DDOS like many independent LGBTQ forums periodically do.

The forums I’m talking about are really more “community support” for people dealing with tough personal problems (both through actual conversation and shitposting of memes). Because it’s very easy for users to enter and leave communities, Reddit is fantastic for a community that by its nature is a bit of a “revolving door” (as many LGBTQ subs are).

All that said, the idea of independent “forums” is all but dead at this point. Existing ones will continue to exist, but new ones don’t exactly pop up anymore. The use case has largely migrated to Discord, which is even more difficult to discover because it’s not searchable with Google.

In a lisp dialect? I thought you went with s7 as an embedde scripting language for C++!
I second that. A year ago I had a discussion with a guy who works as a driver in mid-sized trucks that deliver supplies to ships. So at some point the discussion went to autonomous cars. He had just the reaction you mention so I opened YouTube and showed him a video from a Mercedes S-Class that drives itself around a town. He was literally shocked to the bone. He looked at it and was speechless for about ten minutes. It was like reality smacked him on the head. Right there he realized that the future he saw coming in 20 to 30 years was just less than a decade ahead. For someone in his early forties this is terrifying.

If we combine automation with climate change effects it seems that in the next 20 to 30 years humanity will have to face some very serious problems.
Nice work, do you also provide symbols/debug version if one wants to debug potential coredump ?
If I had time and energy to participate, one fun idea I have would be to make an Emacs Lisp game that's some kind of mystery sci-fi thriller based on coding: like, an Emacs environment that simulates the workstation of an engineer on a Mars base, with incoming emails from mission command, a fake Unix shell with space base commands, etc. Kind of like an "epistolary interactive fiction adventure" with a hacker angle.
No idea why you are downvoted. Your comment is right on.
> Like the myth that "we only use 10% of our brains"

I've heard that the commonly-debunked version of this is a totally misrepresented version of the original claim. The debunked one being that we only use 10% of our brain matter ever, while the original claim was something more like "at a given instant in time, only ~10% of your neurons are firing".
What about https://raddle.me/ ?
Your option... I wouldn't call it alternative to be fair :) is against the expected feelings in this comments section. But it's very reasonable. People that visits subreddits can discuss what to do, either stay with the help of some tool or move to greener pastures.
They are not dialects of each other but all are Lisp dialects. You would not call Scheme a dialect of Emacs Lisp, but both are Lisp dialects.

As a person that had a lot to do with pathological families, I think you are wrong. You are right only if we assume his grandparents are superb human beings. But they literally say "This boy is destined to be sad on his arrival into the world" which indicates they are pretty much selfish. I think a lot of people commenting here try to look at this through western standards. China is different, people are different and their reasoning is different. This is not a movie scenario, this is life
> Nobody that pays for developer time in 2018 is going to optimize their site for people that go out of their way to willfully turn off part of the stack. It's not gonna happen.

FWIW it takes less developer time to make a decent website without Javascript.

Javascript also introduces risks that are non existent in static pages.

Now if theese JS sites were super snappy and worked well offline etc I'd say probably wort it.

But I guess they are often worse that a plain old web page.

Different color could be a little bit distracting for minimal design, maybe there could be gaps between bands. The bands are independent with each other, a 999M 999K 999B band look like a continuous band but it should be 3 separate bars.

This is just pure nick picking, your current design probably suit your need already.

You're begging the question that the defence budget should be reduced. Yes, the U.S. spends far more than every other country, but the question is not whether it outspends others, but rather whether it spends enough on itself. From an historical perspective, current U.S. spending as a fraction of GDP is not great (this means that other nations are spending far less than they need to).

You could similarly argue that by reducing Social Security & non-school-lunch welfare spending, the school-lunch programme could be increased.

You're also begging the question of whether or not providing lunches to schoolchildren is a federal responsibility. Reading the list of enumerated powers of the United States[0] it really isn't, unless you squint really hard and figure that it's necessary & proper to provide school lunches in order to 'raise & support Armies,' since malnourished children won't grow up to be good soldiers. But if that's the case … then the school lunch programme is part of the defence budget!

No need to imagine it - the closing statement given by Grassley during the hearing was basically asking Zuckerberg for help with propaganda.

"So they get a distorted view of it, and — and really we — congressmen get along more than the public thinks. But these attitudes of the public, we've got to change and people of your position and your influence, you can do a lot to change this.

Whether I know you got plenty time around your corporation, through your corporation or privately, anything you can do to reduce this cynicism because we have a — a perfect constitution, maybe it's not perfect, but we got a very good constitution — the longest one written constitution in the history of man — mankind.

And — but if people don't have faith in the institutions of government, and then it's — it's our responsibility to enhance that faith so they have less cynicism in us, you know, we don't have a very strong democracy just because we've got a good constitution.

So I hope that everybody will do whatever they can to help enhance respect for government, including speaking to myself. I got to bend over backwards to do what I can so they don't — so I don't add to that cynicism."
> Games allow you to fail

Most games will allow you to try until you succeed, very few accept failure and progress the story. When they do, people generally do not accept it and retry anyways [1].

> thus the story can't have the same tension or structure as a movie.

I would argues that the much hated quicktime event has been used successfully to give users interaction and have the same flow and tension in a story.

The reality is that most people play through a game in a linear fashion, they may fail but they replay instead of accepting the failure, if that's even an option. Thus to the character and story, there was no failure.

Even still a solid premise can be adapted to either medium successfully. The movie Memento and the video game Braid are fundamentally the same idea presented in radically different ways with very different stories. The impact of the twist at the end of both though is equally poignant.

I smiled when writing that, expecting this very response ;) - I'll just stay away completely as per my parent comment edit.

The kicker is that Reddit's "activity feed" in the right hand sidebar is what revealed, or reminded me of this behavior. Without it, I probably would have continued to ignore the obvious / bury my head in the sand. Thanks Reddit!
As someone who has moved from using Ember daily for 2+ years to now using React/Redux, I miss Ember on a daily basis. React suffers from lack of standardization like no other. I hate starting a new project or working on an existing project and having to think about where to put things. Ember grew from developers who existed in the Rails space and understood that convention over configuration is the way to go. React devs likely came from Express land where everything is composed of tiny modules that you'll spend days carefully putting them all together.

The React world is the wild west. Libraries come and go so quickly that you're better off building it yourself if you see your app as long living. Ember, on the other hand, does a great job of keeping everything in check. Because the community is so small, things just work because there's less things to maintain.

Admittedly, when I first got into Ember, it was pre 1.0 days. Even prior to v2.0, Ember struggled to keep things working as intended. Now that the framework has matured, most pain points have gone away. The way they do their versioning is the smartest in the industry. React has been around for years and still the community seems fragmented.

What it boils down to is:

Is your app fairly small and intended to only last about a year? Use React

Is your app core to your business used by many and intended to last for the foreseeable future? Use Ember
> I find it interesting (though I'm not surprised) that the article seems to imply that even those who get enough sleep, just on an offset schedule, still have greater rates of mortality.

They seemed to be suggesting that the offset is not a risk factor in itself, more that it's incompatibility with society imposes external stresses that contribute to increase chance of mortality. If that's true it no doubt varies greatly between individuals, their profession, lifestyle and other general interaction with the outside world - which all themselves will of course contribute to different chances of mortality and health.

Full Disclosure: My morning is most peoples lunchtime. I get plenty of sleep and am usually very well rested, but waking up out of sync can be quite irritating and inconvenient once I am actually awake. Not to mention the feeling of being "the lazy one" in spite of being quite a workaholic most of the time.
I am very strongly with you here. Why can’t we get an exact cost upfront before Abby services are rendered? A doctor can make orders and should be able to get the exact cost to you before submitting them.

These prices should all be public and comparable. Common reasons to go to the doctor should be shown alongside their costs.

We got a surprise $19k bill that we were told would be $160 and our insurance would cover the rest. We’re letting them fight it out but would be very disappointed if we had to pay that out of pocket. We would never have ordered the test then, or would have tried to shop around

I think there is a lot of tribalism in the js community and liking one framework (often the one you use for work) is synonymous with hating the others. Take this survey done where the people who have "heard of Ember and would NOT use it" is completely outsized with the rest of the data. (https://stateofjs.com/2017/front-end/results/)

I've been developing professionally for 15 years and even in that short a time I've had to frequently start fresh in new frameworks or languages as the old ones lost their edge. The concept that someone would all-caps "NOT" use something is hilariously junior to me because the sands _will_ shift and you _will_ one day face the cliff of: my existing skills have no job demand, do I learn new skills or change profession? Harboring tribalism toward frameworks will not help you make the right decision in times like these.
The NES Homebrew Scene
Right now there are three main frameworks. Angular, React, and, Vue.

Ember has always been the little guy even in the days when Backbone dominated. But it seems to have been replaced by Vue in this regard.
Back in 2006, the web was still largely something for nerds. The average person wasn't putting up the same time online as, for example, an MMO player whereas today, the average user is online just as much or more than an "early adopter". Average people would have checked the weather, gotten directions somewhere, maybe scrolled through an article or two, checked sports scores, etc. It was always something shallow that could be handled quickly. So yeah, making fun of someone for believing Internet trash was commonplace, because it was barely a source for good information.

These days, the web is basically an essential utility to participate in society. Just look at how many people are walking down the sidewalk with their face glued to their phones. Companies have tried to leverage this connectivity to spread information. Paper news is a dying industry, because they've all gone digital. It makes sense for people to get worked up these days. Communication via the internet (or at least digitally) is the de facto method. Teachers and professors used to chastise Wikipedia since anyone could edit it. However a lot of people realize that Wikipedia's citation system makes it a great research staring point. Connectivity is ubiquitous.

This isn't the same Internet culture from 2006, and it's odd to treat it like it is.
> I disagree, when eating natural unprocessed plant foods it is virtually impossible to OD on calories. Sure we need to eat varied. But ODin on calories on a whole-plant-based (WFPB) diet will need you to go straight for the avocados, dates and nuts. Otherwise you are pretty much safe.

You're not really contradicting OP, just outlining simple and obvious ways to reduce calories. The end effect is the same. The best part of the salad is not that it's vegetable, not that it's more natural, but that it's low in calories.

Anybody have any idea why gen_all.py is python and filt_cnn_artifact.m is written in Matlab? The latter seems easy enough to write in python as well.

Is there something about what this file does that is easier accomplished in Matlab or is it just two different people preferring different languages?
That's correct, but it also depends on how deep you want to get into the topic. Sometimes this "free for all open air market place" suffices. The real pro's are hanging out on dedicated forums, though they're becoming harder and harder to find and new ones are not being setup/take off.

I would say that Facebook and Twitter also had their share of killing the classic forums, unfortunately. Which are a much structured way to find and organise conversations.
> old Soviet thinking stratagems like the "axe theory"

Made me look. Found http://militera.lib.ru/research/suvorov12/05.html

"""

The theory is known unofficially in the General Staff as the `axe theory'. It is stupid, say the Soviet generals, to start a fist-fight if your opponent may use a knife. It is just as stupid to attack him with a knife if he may use an axe. The more terrible the weapon which your opponent may use, the more decisively you must attack him, and the more quickly you must finish him off. Any delay or hesitation in doing this will just give him a fresh opportunity to use his axe on you. To put it briefly, you can only prevent your enemy from using his axe if you use your own first.

The `axe theory' was put forward in all Soviet manuals and handbooks to be read at regimental level and higher. In each of these one of the main sections was headed `Evading the blow'. These handbooks advocated, most insistently, the delivery of a massive pre-emptive attack on the enemy, as the best method of self-protection. This recommendation was not confined to secret manuals-non-confidential military publications carried it as well.

How long do you think the API will continue to exist? All of Reddit’s recent moves have shown me they finally realized that much of the DNA of the site (no account verification required, “questionable” speech being semi-tolerated, a dense UX that’s hard to cram ads into, portability, etc.) are what’s preventing them from monetizing. And they’re trying to monetize.

This is exactly the transformation Twitter went through. They changed the UX to make it more advertiser friendly, and when people started using alternate clients to get around it, they cut off the API.

Frankly I think the community will hate it but because it’s really hard to move millions of individual communities, Reddit likely won’t lose too many users.
It depends what type of orbit you want to enter. If you launch from a high latitude, and thrust directly East, then you end up with an orbit that has a declination that brings you back to that same latitude. You can increase the orbital declination by thrusting in a different direction than pure East, but it isn't possible to decrease the declination without effectively turning a corner over the equator. Turning a corner in orbit takes a huge amount of delta-v, making the rocket much bigger and more expensive. Therefore, the UK is not a sensible place to launch from if you want an equatorial orbit, but it's fine for a polar orbit.
And drug makers are aware of this fact thus they incentivize doctors to specify the brand name drug.
Belgium as well. Geopolitical and commercial ties to our great liberator I suppose.
I invested a lot of my time over the last few years into Ember and though it was a difficult decision I eventually had to accept that I would be better off moving to Vue.js. I have written a bit about my decision here:
