> Like list prices are often incredibly far removed from the actual dollars paid, and the actual amount paid is all dependent on insurer contracts

I had a "pleasure" to actually dig for some service (online) and after a while I got frustrated by this exact thing - all prices are always hidden, you HAVE TO contact 'sales' department and even if they show some prices upfront there are sooo many hidden costs and obligatory services and taxes that it's virtually impossible to quickly compare services.

In contrast - in majority of the European countries (I think it's an EU thing) all companies are obliged to display complete, total price for customer with all taxes included - this makes life so much easier…

"A monopoly doesn’t mean “big with lots of users and few competitors.” A monopoly is when a company is the exclusive provider of a service or a trade."

That is the legal definition of a monopoly. Legally, at least in the US and the EU, one does not have to be the sole provider of something to have monopoly power.

And, quite frankly, I do not care if there are competitors or not. No one likes these terms, no one wants these terms, and no one sure as hell wants the company to be able to say, "Take it or leave it." So I'm perfectly happy with regulation saying they can't do that.
Dang, they're not "my assesments". They're cold, hard, well-known facts relevant to the discussion. Almost all the comments are political. The standard HN policy on threads that go too political is to just nix the whole thing. You know it and I know it.

I try to save as much of it as possible and invest it aggressively into things I find interesting (mostly in the public/private markets). Making money is fun but investing and growing it is even more fun for me since I don't need much money to live day-to-day. Investing also helps me develop a worldview and check it against reality which is a really cool feedback loop. Most of my strategies are incredibly simple and involve a broad conviction of where the world is going rather than digging into the super nitty gritty details of every quarterly report - I always invest long-term and I never ever day trade. In fact, I've never held an investment shorter than 1.5 years or so. Needless to say, I've done really really well in the bull market of the past couple of years.

Most of my day to day expenses are probably food and rent as is common in San Francisco. I also buy nicer clothes, computers/gadgets or spend a little more on hobbies or travel (subsidized through credit card points churning, which is another fun game if you can afford to play it). But overall I try not to cross over into irrational, needless spending. I mostly have everything I could ever want in the world. Most of my problems are now internal and existential, which is a blessing (and a curse).

For a heck of a long time, well before Oracle owning it, Mysql was the defacto standard for building web apps. Remember the LAMP days? I'd wager it wasn't until early-ish in this decade that Postgres became the goto for web apps etc.
Great landing page!
My memory might be a bit fuzzy (I was only in my teens when LAMP stack was popular), but I remember a lot of hosts didn't have postgres support built into their PHP distribution at first. If you were using shared hosting, it was a given you'd have MySql support, but maybe not Postgres.
I hope that issues like this further open a two-way channel of communication apple has with "pro"-oriented users. For most of us, computers are tools, which must meet our connectivity and performance needs (encompassing raw compute power and hardware endurance requirements). To continue serving this market well and staying relevant to professionals and power users, Apple needs to take into account our needs and use cases when designing and releasing future products, which was quite evidently an afterthought for the 2016 MacBook models.

If apple tomorrow released an updated 2015 rMBP with a Coffee Lake or Ryzen2 CPU, an optional dGPU, 2 (or better yet 3) full-sized USB type A ports, and (only in my dreams) a full-sized number pad, I would more strongly consider a purchase than migrating back to the PC world for my main PC.

I am hopeful Apple recognizes their shortcomings, learns from them and produces more innovative and powerful hardware that meets the needs of the professional and power-user groups.

That was the book for my first electronics class in college and I found it awesome. I still reference it when doing hobby projects or the random time I get to work with electronics at work.

The workbook is definitely worth it to help make the book more concrete

"If you are a foreigner working for a domestic startup, you simply aren’t allowed to have equity."

This can't be true since you can have equity in a company. Start-up or not. An IPO may be a different thing because a regular foreigner can't hold A-Shares. If (big if) he holds a Chinese green card then even this is allowed.

I really liked the UI of windows mobile 8 (10 a bit less so) and I find it quite unfortunate that MS decided to 'kill' the platform (there are rumours about new lumia, buuuut) - it was very well optimised, it was easy to grasp and was intuitive, even for older people (got one for my dad and didn't have to explain too much how to use it).

The convictions were actually for counterfeiting and copyright violation of the Dell and Windows Logos.

Federal prosecutors initially tried to nail him with $299 per disc but Microsoft intervened and said they sold refurbishers a $25 license and at most his disc should be valued at $20.

I think he should have been notified that his actions were potentially illegal and been given the option to just destroy the media.
Its interesting that I have developed my own model that closely resembles this (although it is not as complete). Its annoying that there is so much good information out there(like your article), but its largely inaccessible if you aren't familiar with the relevant jargon.

Something I struggle with is specifying my emotions sufficiently. Does anyone know of a complete reference? Something that includes common causes would be best (such as: stuck on a problem you can't solve -> frustration). I have seen some relevant books but they tend to be more gimmick than substance

Putting the beauty and power of going to the movie theater aside, I think what is most powerful about Netflix, and something they learned from HBO, is how to give the directors/writers/producers more autonomy over their work. This is something TV execs have failed to do again and again. I think the problem is this does not translate to cinema. Films are a much more tight medium where spreading your wings and entertaining a multitude of ideas fudges the thrust of the narrative. With TV, we are willing to entertain long arches of story that wind and weave without a clear endpoint or direction. Let’s take Game of Thrones, for example, it’s rarely quite clear what is going to happen. We do have the specter of the Khaleesi and the white walkers arriving on the shores of Westeros, but throughout you have an overarching theme of uncertainty with any and all of the characters. Cinema would not allow this kind of uncertainty. And that’s exactly one of the reasons why superhero movies do so well. They have a clear and crisp narrative that we go to the cinema to satisfy. Being nuanced in film is much harder because in film you also have to be blunt. In film, you must pay more close attention to the heroes journey. In TV, you can hack and toy with it.

This is why I think Netflix thrives in TV shows but flounders in cinema. Cinema requires tight thinking and TV requires open thinking. Netflix, by its business model and Silicon Valley culture, is inherently an open culture. They are willing to entertain and support the ideas of creators. Now, you might argue, hey look at A24, they allow their creators a lot of space and still pull off great cinema like Ex Machina and Moonlight. I think Netflix hasn’t quite made it there yet but is inching towards it with movies like Annihilation. Annihilation also tries to do too much but it is succinct as compared to Bright. That’s A24’s strength it picks and guides its creators towards succinct storylines that, in the end, are powerful.

I think the best example of the above points is how weak Netflix superhero shows are overall compared to its big hits like Stranger Things and House of Cards. With superhero stories, they are inherently tight: the hero must win. There isn’t much room for subtlety and so these shows tend not to catch on. It doesn’t play to Netflix’s open-ended storytelling strengths (and granted their production value is usually B level). Whereas with Stranger Things, the open-ended nature of the story keeps the viewer entranced.

Unless Netflix hires some people who understand these fundamental issues at its top levels, it will be hard for them to really innovate on cinema. IMHO.
Stem Cells Can Restore Vision in Partially Blind Patients
I don't think this happens often, at least not due to the patient not getting attention in a reasonable amount of time. ERs triage patients based on severity of condition and if you are in more critical condition you get bumped up the line.

But there is an issue in certain areas of people using ERs like a GP because the ER can't legally turn people away due to EMTALA
SQL seems to be evolving by tacking on features willy-nilly, with no clear holistic philosophy, and worse, the standards which emerged aren't followed by all major implementations and even standards which are followed differ starkly in terms of performance across implementations. The product is that we all write implementation-specific SQL, which largely defeats the purpose of a standard language altogether.

I think if someone came along and fixed these major issues and gave it a modern syntax without significantly degrading performance, it would be sufficiently different that the XKCD "competing standards" meme would not apply.

Erlang's concurrency is probably the most similar (greenthreading, channels, messages) and best out there. Errors are handled nicely via supervisor; you can produce a long running fault tolerant system.

Haskell's async[1] solution is very nice too, with the exception restarting processes and fault tolerance isn't really there yet. On the other hand, in Haskell there's stuff like STM, which makes atomic updates to shared memory easy.

At the lower level side of things Rust's model is very nice too. You can statically verify that you don't have certain classes of bugs.

Sorry if this is offtopic, but this was one of the aspects that I found very interesting about Bitcoin.

Because it's a protocol, in theory you just need to have the software installed in your computer and you can start being a bank.

This is similar to the web for publishing. You just need to plug your computer to the internet and start serving your website. Before this if you didn't have the time, energy and luck of finding a publisher it was hard to publish a book.

This is a huge simplification but I just wanted to highlight one interesting aspect of cryptocurrencies.
Many nootropics will greatly amplify the feelings of depression (by personal experience and anecdotal experience of others). This may be because many of these substances interact with neurotransmitters like choline. Excess choline can lead to depressive-like symptoms.

That said, many non-nootropic supplements can be highly effective for depressive symptoms. I love 5-htp for a temporary serotonin boost. I use it for 2-3 days at a time until my mood improves.
I'm not advancing the claim that high levels of diversity bring about happiness, I'm scrutinizing the belief that populations are happier because they get to be homogeneous in composition. It's been my observation that the people who push back against the idea of diversity the most tend to be quite miserable even when living in homogeneous communities.

I think that this is not always guaranteed to work, because
{first: $, middle: $, last: $}
is the same as
{first: $, last: $, middle: $}

... so calling Object.keys() is not necessarily going to use a consistent ordering. I think that is why they have to use the more verbose syntax in the other library.

I think you could do something like:
{first: $.0, middle: $.1, last: $.2}, (f, m, l) => ...
pretty easily, though.

You're arguing against a far-right strawman.

Take a non-strawman like Paul Ryan, who is in every way a typical Republican, and his proposal is not to abandon Medicaid, but to make it into an Obamacare-like system whereby people are provided subsidized insurance.
It's time to start acknowledging that this is never going to be fixed. SB 827 died when homeowners protested fiercely, and it doesn't look like any proposed replacements are going to get traction either.

People just have too much of their equity tied up in their homes. I hate it, but I can also see where they're coming from: if you had a savings account that accounted for most of your net wealth and was appreciating at double-digits per year, and someone wanted to cut it by a significant percentage, you'd fight them to your last breath too.

If you are looking for profound theoretical insights in Deep Learning, you will be disappointed, but amazed with classical ML. If you are looking for practical capabilities, you'd be amazed by Deep Learning but frustrated with classical ML. Deep Learning is fairly trivial math-wise (unless you look carefully into non-linear optimization it uses, which is as brutal as any other advanced part of math).

In emergency situations this is hard to do, but I've done it numerous times when needing non-emergency health care. I even call around asking about prices and the cash discount. Oddly enough, a co-worker and I both had the same procedure (back issues ugh) last year at the same doctor. He used his insurance, and I asked about and went the cash route. I ended up paying less for the exact same thing because of how his deductibles worked.

It was the end of the year and I guessed I would not hit my yearly deductible so paying cash was the right move.

You are greatly over-estimating kernel developer's pay. Unless you're an open-source rock-star (ie. Linus & a few other), kernel development does not pay bazillions. A local shop was looking for Android kernel dev for CAN$75k (USD$60k). Any entry level mobile dev can easily make that much in USD. Even an Amazon SDIII isn't paying that much (~CAD$110k in the Vancouver area). I've been talking with other larger hardware manufacturer and their offers are roughly of the same order (in high living cost area).
When cost-cutting needs to happen... and it's inevitable, the people with severe disabilities will be the first ones to get cut.

Government-funded health care suffers from all the same economic problems that privately financed health care suffers from, and the government is just as corrupt as any private organization, plus there tends to be little incentive for efficiency, so government programs tend to be extremely inefficient and wasteful.

I appreciate (and agree with) your concern for the disabled, but letting the government be in charge is a recipe for making everything worse.
Healthcare should not be a market.

This meets with my experience. I rarely have meetings, and I regularly get solid, 4-hour blocks of productivity. Typically two to three time per week. Those pushes account for most of my work, and my best work.

I do not schedule those 4 hour blocks because I would not be able to stick to the schedule. I often have trouble concentrating for even 30 minutes straight. When I hit 4 hours (and my time tracker sends me a notification to celebrate), I am always surprised. I get into the zone, and then I find myself still coding 4 hours later.

Every meeting is a chance to miss that enter-the-zone window.
A big red X doesn't mean the database doesn't have other, similar but proprietary functionality. It just means: it doesn't support this function in a standard confirming way yet.

There is nothing against using non-standard functionality in that case. In this particular case. PostgreSQL got JSON support (~2012?) long before it was added to the standard (2016). Obviously, their JSON functions differ from the standard (as they didn't lobby their functions into the standard).

However, slowly but surely database will add the standard functionality, which makes life easier.

Having that said, the standard JSON_OBJECTAGG is more powerful as it gives you control over null handling (NULL ON NULL -vs- ABSENT ON NULL) and allows checking for duplicate keys ([(WITH|WITHOUT) UNIQUE KEYS]).
I commuted 90 minutes each way for a year (120 miles round trip) in SoCal. The time spent driving wasn't that bad; I spent that time listening to books on Audible. The problem was everything else that had to give because I was spending that time driving. I couldn't cook dinner or spend much time with friends. It was tough to stay after work or develop friendships with coworkers because we were so geographically separated. I would not want to do this long term.

Now I work from home. I still listen to audiobooks whenever driving which is still amazing.
Your link is to installation media, not recovery/restore media. Microsoft does not make Recovery/Restore media.

Recovery/Restore discs are custom made by OEMs under license from Microsoft.

> Microsoft's lost revenue came in the form of reduced sales of redundant licenses..

If this were true then Microsoft would not have persuaded Federal prosecutors to lower their estimates. Originally prosecutors claimed the discs were valued at $299 a pop but Microsoft informed them that they sold refurbishers a license for $25 and that the discs were worth $20 at most.
How will this tech alter the standing of diesel against petrol in terms of environment friendliness?
> Microsoft intervened and said they sold refurbishers a $25 license and at most his disc should be valued at $20.

So the fake logos increased the value of the discs from $0.25 to $20 or $25? If he had labeled them "Eric's Restore Discs" he'd have been totally in the clear?

Yes, but with every large applications I've been bitten by non-functional problems in production with major Java migrations, as non-functional testing is usually not as extensive as user testing.

Making sure it runs on Java 10 is not the problem, I expressed myself too fuzzy.
> * real-life interactions with (positive) people

> * no social media; fight the FOMO

I feel like a major problem with life today is how social media has become a funnel for social interaction, and that for many people it's difficult to cut out the harm of it, without also cutting out your social life. That's not to say that it's impossible, and I'm sure some people here have successfully maintained their social life in the absence of social media.
