> The point is, he doesn't have permission to distribute the software.

This is not the point of contention. He pled guilty to this.

The point of contention is the amount of damages Microsoft argued and the court agreed on. Microsoft argued these disks were worth the full-price of a Microsoft-sold disk+license, but these disks did not contain the license.

It's like being sued by Amazon for thousands of dollars (instead of a more reasonably number) because you resold physical copies of ebooks they already sold for free on their website.
A homes value is a lot more than the square footage. The house in Boise was modern, had a very large yard, was a private, gated lot etc.

Very different than the house you linked.
if someone puts a gun and steals your private key he can continue checking in after he kills you right?
This is realised in a real language as occam. I've never understood why so few languages have a par construct, it's much more natural than asynchronous launching.

> Netflix will just start to buyback theaters at some point.

I like this idea a lot. Netflix subscribers can
pay a fixed premium ($4?) per showing of new/exclusive films that are held off of Netflix for a week or two.

One could buy a "Comedy" pass for a specific theater hall that will only air comedies back-to-back with schedules published in advance. Given pure digital distribution, Netflix could even set up a local CDN and refresh content every day if they wanted to.

Lots of possibilities!
There's a bunch of attack vectors, but most fall on the trusted publisher and client itself. IPFS and Ethereum are, by assumption (difficulty wise), ``secure''.

Assuming both client and publisher's internal systems are intact, then you have two attack vectors:

There's the false positive attack vector, where you can shut down the client's network access and force the secret to be prematurely leaked.

There's the false negative attack vector, where you can shut down the trusted publisher's network access, and indefinitely keep the secret ``safe''.

However, in general, the first attack is not as worrisome as the second for these kinds of application. The second is more worrisome, and there's many ways to distribute the trusted published using some crypto threshold scheme such that as long as no more than some threshold of the trusted publishers are shut down, the secret will be released in case of client shutdown.
>The insurer doesn't know what each hospital charges.

Yes they do. Providers are already required to make their list prices publicly available, and insurance companies have it (they are already available to the general public as well, but they're probably going to be hard to find/understand for a layperson). Many insurance companies already have cost lookup tools specifically for this purpose. Posting the hospital's list price online like the article is talking about is purely for the consumption of the patient. It is not of use to the insurer.

>In the perfect world

In a perfect world, I'd contest that you wouldn't have to worry about healthcare costs at all, but I digress.

>everyone would sit down with the hospital, look at the likely range of costs of a procedure, call the HMO/PPO to check how each outcome would be covered

Except you already can do this even without looking at the list prices from a hospital. Your insurance can already tell you exactly how much you will be charged by any provider. They do not need these online 'list prices' to do so.
* Drugs - you may have to try a few to find what works for you. Cymbalta worked for me for a while, but then I slipped back hard. Now I have Abilify in addition to the Cymbalta and I'm doing much better.

* Sunlight. Get outside. I have seasonal affective disorder on top of major depression, and if I don't get enough light, the suicidal ideation comes back. I have a lightbox but its not as good as the real thing.

* Exercise. I know. This one sucks. This might not be possible until the meds bring you back up to a baseline-functional. Try to get a walking buddy, and just take a short walk once a day. Walk outside to get extra sunlight as a bonus. You don't have to do a major workout, even just a 15 minute walk is better than nothing. Try to get a friend to walk with you. Not only does having someone to talk to make the walk go quicker, but it also gives you someone you have to be accountable to about walking. Or if you can't get a walking buddy, find a favorite podcast or something that you only listen to on walks. Make it something to look forward to.

* See a doctor and take care of anything else that's also going on. Get your thyroid checked. Get your blood sugar checked. Hypothyroidism or diabetes will make depression worse.

* Good sleep is vital. Maybe ask your doctor about a sleep study too, if you snore. You might have sleep apnea, and not getting good sleep will make your depression worse.

* Try to eat better. This one is hard too, and like exercise, might not be possible right away. "Better" is pretty subjective and nutrition is a volatile subject, so I'm not going advise a specific diet, but if you're eating pizza and fast food every day because you don't have the energy to cook, changing that will help.
Yeah you could limit the system to only the most critical of citizen interactions (where capital moves between them). Maybe it could be like a credit score or something.
I think the dell XPS 13/15 or precision 5510 line is the successor to the MacBook Pro. I recently picked up an XPS 13 and installed Linux. I really prefer it to the MacBook Pro 2016 I have at work. The only thing missing is iMessage, which unfortunately is why I haven’t gone full Linux.
I had an employee provided macbook air which had constant issues with driving an external display. (I think it was firmware problems). When the keyboard broke after 10 months, I was pretty happy to have a solid reason for a replacement.

New macbooks are junk.

I know cases of algo traders coming from capital markets that have been so successful that they were banned in some crypto exchanges for using highly efficient strategies. One of the guys (he works in a top market maker during the day) told me he was making around 100btc/month back in Q1-Q2'17.

Edit: Not saying it's easy to reach that level of profits, just that it's possible for professional/sophisticated traders.
"If you are having trouble sleeping, cut back on your last cup of the day."

I wish! The older I get, the less caffeine I can have in any form, and the earlier in the day I have to quit drinking it. At this point, being 47, even a decaf (which has tiny amounts of caffeine; see https://www.webmd.com/diet/news/20061011/decaf-coffee-isnt-c...) coffee after 10 a.m. affects my sleep.
You've described a lot of the reasons I loath going to the theatre. The sounds are overwhelmingly, painfully, intolerably loud- the screen is large enough to cause motion sickness unless you can manage to get a seat near the very back of the theatre, the entire experience has migrated toward such an extreme that many people I know have just given up on even trying.

I suppose it makes a kind of sense- if sales are flailing and more people are skipping the theaters, then doubling down on your differentiator in order to try to attract more dollars from your base makes a kind of sense- but I get the impression that over the last couple of years they've hit an inflection point where they've just put too many people off the experience.

Get rid of health insurance and watch prices come down.

(I guess more so in areas where freestanding urgent care is a less interesting investment)

There's even hospitals that provide urgent care style care (and billing!) in their ERs, undermining the argument that this isn't viable.

It works that way for 'out of network' facilities and doctors, and there are higher deductibles and lower limits on payouts for those as the insurance copany has no fiscal control.

The negotiations happen for 'in network' systems, and it's in the hospital's interests to be 'in network' for as many insurance companies as possible, as most people choose 'in network' care providers.
This could still lead to lower prices by giving consumers better information. I have always wanted to set up a site to allow people to compare prices for healthcare in different hospitals/areas in the USA but this information is not publically available on the scale that would make it feasible.
Grooming. Shower, soap, brush teeth, shave. But beyond that, go to the aesthetician and get a facial. In addition to feeling like a million bucks, I have reason to believe that receiving grooming treatment from another primate triggers dopamine release and or beneficially lowers cortisol levels. I can't cite any sources but I recall that idea from my undergraduate work in animal behavior.

There is plenty of research [1] on various relevant topics, but if you're depressed, I recommend a JFDI and test approach.

This is an excellent list and fairly close to what I do. Diet and exercise can be game changers.

I jog for exercise. When I'm dealing with a deep bout of depression, nothing works better than a fast mile. A comfortable pace for me is about 8-8.5 minutes per mile. If I want to break out of depression, I'll run the first mile around 7. The resultant runner's high almost immediately shocks me out of the depression.

I'd also add meditation/prayer to the list, plus I see a professional therapist every two weeks.
Check out the book "Tahoe Leap Eyeball" at Amazon. It's the entire KJV bible in that style. (Tahoe Leap Eyeball = The Holy Bible).

>it's an off-topic rant

The article title is "How to become a bank", and it was written by the bankofengland.co.uk by a glance at the url, so the first question is: "How did they become a bank?", is it not?

It's not like HN is devoid of WallStreet'rs or City'rs, among them this is just standard knowledge. I mean of course it's a bit of a stretch to say the bankers financed the Jacobin revolution which was a large precursor event (except they sorta did but it was different bankers etc), but instead of getting into the history, I have a real feeling your snide remark at the end is largely due to you viewing any mention of the name Rothschild as being done by "paranoid conspiracy theorists". The Rothschilds have been a powerhouse of interconnected banking families for a long time, and have been open about it, including for example how they aren't aristocrats in the UK for various reasons. Their strategic brilliance in business is an inspiration for the cunning businessman, and they still are doing business around the globe today, and the fact that they very largely got there by lending to governements and creating central banks is also well known as fact.

So it gets very tiring when any mention of them is so tainted by ones preconcieved disdain for anything perceived to be "drivel of a conspiracy theorist" that their response becomes such an attack.

The reality of banking is so much more personal and good old boys than any document could ever show. This is obviously a move to pull in the fintech and other tech startups that want to function as a non-traditional bank ala paypal, probably due to cryptocurrency and algorithms taking over the world. That said, I have heard talk that the UK has been lowering the barrier of entry to traditional banking as well.

I still see, systematically, the central bank by fiat as one of the core problems we need to overcome as a species. All banks (traditional, fintech or otherwise) will be subservient to that central banking system until it changed, and I think some of the crypto-startups may have taken a poison pill by adopting into the traditional banking infrastructure so quickly (and largely due to regulatory fears, etc) instead of working on a purely internet-ized solution. (which is also why I think the big btc jump the last few years has actually been due to central fiat actors trying to see if they could execute the ~50% attack. A nice side benefit is that btc is easily traceable, which is what makes it superior in their eyes (not to users/consumers though)to cash)

My point is, that in the end, the real discussion we ought to be having as a matter of fact is very much about the core fundamentals of the banking system, which I think ergo includes discussion of it's origins, that I think it's great potential discussion matter, and that I very much disagree with your flippant dismissal of my post as "paranoid conspiracy drivel".
The negotiation happened when the bill came.

Keep asking for help, trying new things. Someone somewhere has an answer for you. It also helps if you have someone in your life to serve as your “patient advocate”, keeping you honest, on track, to help calibrate your self reporting.

Anxiety and depression are wicked hard to untangle. My own recent example:

My sweetie now has some hearing sensitivity issues, magnifying the other issues. After much effort, we finally determined that age onset tinnitus has become a factor. Validation and mitigation steps helped to make progress on other fronts (eg improving sleep).
It's all completely virtual. All "attendance" in the course is done online, including group office hours.

The problem with relying on exercise as a coping mechanism is that you may get injured and therefore will have no fallback.
The existence of a formalized system tricks the brain. You start debating the questions the system itself poses, not questioning the things the system holds axiomatic.

For example: Debating the boundaries of Facebook's nudity rules when it comes to breastfeeding, or newsworthy image like that napalm image in news is misdirection. Allowing a nipple here and there is the fake debate Facebook has framed for us.

The real problem is that facebook has decided, for me all my friends, that we're all prudes. Without asking a single one of us, they just decided. They've found that we can't be trusted with the ability to scroll past hardcore porn in our timeline the same way we ignore photos of your ugly dog. Not only can we not handle that, it can't be behind an account setting, or twitter-style clickwall on every photo, or age gated over-18 accounts only. Nope. It's all too harmful of content for us unwashed masses.

It's a con. Even if Facebook doesn't mean it as such. They're constantly conning themselves too.

> Like he said in his defense, if he had labeled it "Eric's Restore Disc" instead of putting the Dell and Windows logo on it, he probably would have skirted any real repercussions.

How is that a defense?!? Yes, it's true that if you don't crime, you don't get punished for crime, but... he crimed. And, from the article:

> Lundgren had 28,000 of the disks made and shipped to a broker in Florida. Their plan was to sell the disks to computer refurbishing shops for about 25 cents apiece, so the refurbishers could provide the disks to used-computer buyers and wouldn’t have to take the time to create the disks themselves.

These discs were INTENDED to be provided to third parties who didn't know who actually made them. This goes beyond trademark infringement, I think.

1. Regulation is not the cause of high healthcare costs in America. One could argue that the lack of regulation in certain areas could be responsible for price hikes[1] in healthcare.

2. Charity has had thousands of years to solve societal problems, yet it didn't. What you're describing is a pipe dream.

Within the span of a less than a century, countries around the world have addressed healthcare effectively such that care is available to most, if not all.

I'm bipolar which is quite different to depression in a number of ways, but one thing I've found helps a lot and others have reported too is accepting that is will always be with you and manage it rather than fighting it.

Rather than trying to cure it completely, which isn't likely to happen, learn to monitor the matter and mitigate its effects instead. This can remove the cyclical nature of the problem, whereby failing to deal with it to your satisfaction causes you to sink further into the darkness, reducing the severity of problem periods.

(This of course may not work in severe cases, in those professional help and/or medication may be needed.)

Beyond this, as others have already mentioned:

* Maintain good health with exercise and decent diet. Some like myself find exercise to be directly therapeutic, for others the benefit is still very real but not as immediate. If you try something and hate it, try something else - I like running, I know people who can't stand that but enjoy swimming/cycling/climbing/walking/<other> instead.

* Try to maintain a routine, especially a good sleep schedule (this latter part could go with "maintain good health" above). This can be easier said than done as the condition can affect both the ability to sleep and the recuperative efficiency of what sleep you do get, but lack of sufficient good sleep can exacerbate many mental instabilities/imbalances.

* Make sure your routine involves the outside world at least in parts, even (perhaps especially) if you are "not in the mood today".

* Talk to people if you can.

* Consider medication if recommended. You might be wary of being stuck on it for life, but in many cases being medicated for a short while can give you a short break from the worst symptoms making it easier to find the impetus to start following the other advice and build a routine that helps you manage yourself.

Reducing NOx is one a fine and noble effort, but there's not much new in this BOSCH corporate press release. However, there are plenty of technologies for reducing diesel engine NOx (1), including Selective Catalytic Reducers (SCR's), Exhaust Gas Recirculaters (EGR), and even injecting water into atomized diesel.

Further, reducing NOx is one thing, but you still have other harmful emissions notably SOx and black carbon. So to Dr Volkmar Denner, CEO of Bosch, who says: “There’s a future for diesel. Today, we want to put a stop, once and for all, to the debate about the demise of diesel technology." I respectfully argue that until you can make Diesel as clean as H2 fuel cell, the push to eliminate diesel burning engines will go on.

For my money, the best environmentally sustainable 'fuel' is electric via Hydrogen/Air powered fuel cell, in which the hydrogen is generated by electrolysis powered by renewable generators (wind, solar, hydro). We've seen a significant push in the Maritime sector towards conversions of diesel engines to LNG-fueled engines. However, LNG (which may have significant methane slip - a really BAD greenhouse gas - if you're not careful) isn't nearly as clean as H2.

I built my own intelligent algo trading platform for node.js. It uses market data from Binance and Bitfinex. My best strategy uses unusual volume amounts on Bitfinex to trade on Binance (mostly BTCUSDT and other USDT pairs), an advanced dynamic arbitrage. It can make up to 500-1000 usd per day but not really much more. I started testing a LSTM neural network to optimize the gains and reduce the risks, still early but seems very promising.

I wrote this repo a few months ago for people to get started with cryptocurrency algo trading:
