European bank. Salaries were confidential and discretionary. Then they adopted a salary grid based on title and business area mostly to reduce the bonus component (a disproportionate amount of the comp was in bonus). Employees were happy, first because it meant a large base pay uplift for pretty much everyone, and because transparency means base pay ceases to be something to discuss about, everyone feels like he is being treated fairly.

Then I believe it triggered all sorts of problems. Front office base salaries is higher than middle office, no one will take a pay cut so it prevented front to middle office moves which is is an undesirable effect. It is also expensive, they liked having the ability to hire more cheaply. They dropped the grid after a couple of years.

But all the time the numbers were confidential (but when there is a grid it’s a matter of minutes before an accurate table circulates).

There are a couple islands which have massive holes in them now. We're not talking about small craters. You can see them on Google Maps.
It's commonly trotted out that the non-paying ER patients force the higher list rate, and while it's a nice sob story cover that distracts from the outrageous audacity of the prices they charge, it just doesn't pass the sniff test.

Want to know the daily rental rate for half of a shared room at Stanford's hospital? $17,000. That's not including any of the services, that's just for half of a tiny room. If there was a Four Seasons next to the hospital, it would be a small fraction of the price. That can subsidize a LOT of unpaid medical care. When you tack on the other care for a few days, it comes out to about $100k for a few days and maybe 24 hours of caretaker time during that time.

I think the real reasons are much closer to the reason college tuitions are through the roof - a) there are far more "professional hospital administrators" now, drawing large salaries without a direct impact on quality of care, and b) relative price insensitivity by clientele, because they're either not paying for it themselves, or they're desperate for good medical care and are willing to pay any price at the time, and c) egregiously fancy expansions with fine woods everywhere in the lobby, marble, etc.
Here in Finland people are somewhat secretive (especially the older generation) about their pay but tax records are public information so you can calculate it from there if you really want to know how much someone is making. Though the system is kept offline on purpose and thus you have to go to the tax office and browse the paper records and take notes.

Keeping the pay secret is kinda puzzling on traditional fields as the salary structure is very rigid on those due to strong unions. Doesn’t apply much in IT though where it is just minimum wage set by unions and you negotiate for (much) more.

MRI avg price is $2,611 in the US. Google it. A hospital once charged my insurance US$12,000 for a CT Scan through emergency. A CT scan costs $1K (avg based on resolution) in the US. When I pointed out the stupidity of this to my insurance (with public twitter shaming) they quickly decided to cover my copay. Robbery or what?
In Finland you can go and check how much somebody else earned and paid taxes. You can’t do this online, must visit the tax office in person.

This is balancing between privacy and transparency of tax system.

I don’t think the EU privacy legislation applies to this kind of public functions.

White meat is tasteless; the society as a whole got super into it because it's lower-fat and "healthier".
Just to provide a different point of view. We're using Vue + Typescript + ASP.NET Core in about 4 mid-sized projects now and it's working really well. The only thing which was excruciating to get set up right was Webpack, but that's not Vue's fault nor Typescripts.

Granted, the reason it works well for us is because we started out right by looking at existing templates using Vue + Typescript which probably saved us a lot of hassle. The wrestling with configuration switches was by and large already done for us, but having used this combination extensively now I can say I'm familiar with all configuration matters in our projects and I find none of them particularly poorly documented or obscure.
Another quirk is that the file system cache is fixed at boot time to 1/8th of the available RAM, though this is more due to OS limitations than the file system.
Compared to the companies started at similar times which followed the grow fast path but ultimately failed and looking at the slow but steady growth path reddit has been allowed to follow I wonder why ycombinator does not accept more companies like reddit(slow but steady growth companies) into their accelerator, I mean being a founder of one such company I think that will be awesome .
If you're with a group of people at a restaurant that you don't know well and someone says they're gluten free, nobody bats an eye. Even though there's a good chance they're just on a fad diet.

If someone can't eat pork due to their beliefs, same story.

If someone mentions that they're vegetarian/vegan though, guaranteed someone will ask them why and question their beliefs. They'll probably get defensive and state that they could never give up eating steak/bacon/misc flesh, as if the vegetarian is trying to take that away from them.
The poor outside of cities who are not subsistence farmers will be in an equally bad spot. Modern farming has not been an independent activity that can be pursued without external inputs for several hundred years. No fertilizers, no hybrid seed shops, no machinery repair, no fuel or electricity means no farm. Rural residents who can hunt might last a bit longer, but I would put my money on a suburban hipster with an organic garden and chicken coop before I would bet on anyone who farms cereal crops or livestock.

Their new design is comically bad at this point. I just loaded up Reddit full-screen on my desktop with a 2560x1440 resolution. I saw 3 posts above the fold in the default non-signed in format. Those 3 posts occupied the center 650px of the screen. There was a column to the right that took up a little over 300px and contained two ads among other site navigation stuff. The other 1600px of horizontal screen real estate was completely empty. I get the idea of mobile first design, but the new design is actively hostile to anyone using a screen larger than a tablet.
If someone has a disproportionate amount of wealth, I'd rather they spend it.

You can't have it both ways. Silly purchases are way better for the rest of us than them just parking the wealth.
With universal healthcare come other issues like waiting months for a bed. The real solution (and it's maybe 100 years away) is automating hospitals to a point where humans no longer play a role in healthcare management and it's 100% funded by the state/country. Maybe we won't even have hospitals and instead a portable home healthcare unit. One can dream ;-)

It's because there is no formal definition of dependence in statistics. Let that sink in for a minute.

Too late to edit my message, so I'll use a response instead. Docker rebinds the 127 network to each container, so you cant - by default - communicate through these IP Addresses.

An easy fix could be to just let the container use the hosts network stack (so, not network type: bridge).
After that, you can bind the daemons to specific IP Addresses in the subnet - i.e. 127.0.0.2:3306 DB1 127.0.0.3:3306 DB2 and they'll be able to communicate directly.

But as mentioned before: this is not the primary usecase for docker, so its cumbersome to use.
I think I read somewhere that most leafy greens are grown hydroponically.

But there's only so many leafy greens you can grow before you saturate peoples already weak appetite.
It may not be only that, but it sure as hell plays an important role.

I am EU-based developer, the majority of my customers are in EU, and I pay a US company 8.9% of revenue to avoid the crippling VATMOSS bureaucracy - because it’s cheaper that way. Not avoiding VAT, mind you, I still collect the enormous 20+% tax on sales, just avoiding the associated hassle.

And that’s just one example.
To be honest though, finding programmers with no Java knowledge isn't trivial.

> Well because the UI isn't just a function of state, it's also a function of those actions (the actions have to literally be passed in to the rendering function).

Wait, they don't though. That's the whole point of functional components. They are of the form:

const Component = (props) => <JSX />

Where are said "literally passed" actions here?

> So there's bi-directional coupling between the UI code and the Store (the UI code renders from the state, and passes messages back to the store).

This isn't bi-directional binding. state determining UI, UI sending queued actions and actions determining state is one-way data flow. Bi-directional coupling would be tying a reference in the state to a UI element.

> Also, conceptually, you often have a lot of state that's very directly concerned with and specific to the UI, and isn't just idyllic, agnostic "data". Things like "is this menu open or closed?" and "what's the current string value of this input (which isn't meaningful until the form is submitted)?"

This is architectural, and is why components have their own state. Its up to you wether you want to keep this as application state or local volatile state.

> In Flux, those things tend to add a ton of boilerplate in terms of change actions, and split tightly-related concerns into separate corners of the codebase (if I remove this menu component I have to remove its open/closed state variable and the corresponding action).

Which is why I don't put it in the main application state (:

> To be sure, there's not really a great way to decouple things in the reactive architecture.

I mean, not if you're dumping everything on your application state, no.

> I personally lean towards stateful components that are decoupled at their boundaries instead, which does carry its own downsides.

Curious to learn what you mean by "decoupled at their boundaries". You mean components that are de-coupled from each other? You can make re-usable, functional or stateful components that are de-coupled from application state.

I think the main takeaway here is that not all state is the same, there's state that's part of your core application logic and state the component needs for its display only. Treating them as the same thing does limit the re-usability of your code and make dealing with your application state tedious.

> The only solution I've ever seen that truly felt right was two-way databinding, which Vue (sort of) still has...

There's other solutions (: I don't think Netflix, Facebook or AirBnB have all the state of their menus tied up with the state of their user data and and have all components be use-once because of that. Good state management can make things scale, and functional components very useful!

> but which has fallen out of fashion in general because it requires "magic" and because it tends to come with performance costs.

Yup. It's also hard to know where or how certain state is changing. It definitely allows you to build small applications very quickly, but it doesn't scale all that well.
Well done. Shame it's buried under N comments.
Oh boy, another preconfigured Linux installation conceited enough to call itself an Operating System. Right along with Elementary OS, PopOS, PeppermintOS, PurismOS and all the other ((distributions)). Let's keep splitting hairs by adding custom skins and icon packs while avoiding real issues like hardware incompatibilities and the overall trainwreck known as the Linux Desktop Experience. Don't forget to donate, forking Debian and hosting .iso files over ftp is pretty tough!
Yes, I think that is what I use to pay for Netflix.

You're right, patients get an itemized bill. The thing is the bill is pretty cryptic with CPT codes (and modifiers, ICD codes etc) practically unique to each payer as each payer interprets the AMA's guidelines differently. Payer A, say Blue Shield, asks for codes 99453 while Payer B (e.g. Aetna) wants code 92502 for the same procedure. So the patient is really clueless to know if 1) it's the right code, 2) they got charged too much, or 3) the insurance made a mistake in adjudicating the claim.

I know a company that was trying to help patients understand their medical bills, and for one bill, the hospital accidentally put down 10cc for an antidote for a snake bite, 10 times, when it should have been just once. The cost was in the tens of thousands instead of the thousands, and the hospital eventually fixed the claim and resubmitted, but the insurance company simply billed the patient.
Mostly leafy greens are already grown hydroponically, I believe.

I think Anteater is an interesting company. Unfortunately I never got round to actually talking to them, despite working in the same building a few times.

It seems that their business model is to target high end restaurants and work down from there. Their product is more of a garnish than an actual food.

They really need to work on their website too.
I'd recommend starting with the application as an abstract entity: start with the state and not think about the UI. Once you build a data-model and action scheme from there, working a de-coupled UI is usually simpler.
Like what? Potatoes? There are a few high calorie-per-area staples that we know how to grow, process, prepare and store at scale. Sure there might be a 'revolution' (like when electricity was discovered), but there are no obvious candidates to what you're saying, nor a real incremental progress path to follow.

And 'easy to grow' is rather dismissive of the vast amounts of progress we've had to make to come to the point we are now...
What would bigger growth/userbase/SERP for Reddit look like? That is, while keeping its spartan social network characteristics. Even with the redesign (which I’m not a huge fan of personally) and the attempt to increase visibility of user profiles, Reddit still feels more like Craigslist/USENET than Quora or Facebook.
There are three views. Have you tried compact mode?
This is a good list, but as others have said, is not the level of detail I'm talking about.

Take the NBA for example. Let's look at this: http://toddwschneider.com/posts/ballr-interactive-nba-shot-c... - this is able to give you super detailed analysis thanks to the NBA's stats API.

The equivalent from Opta is thousands a year per competition. I was fortunate enough to get to play with detailed Opta data and ChyronHego data as part of a Man City hack day a couple of years ago. The latter data simply isn't commercially available.

For cricket, you can do something interesting with ball by ball data, but ideally you want ball tracking data. You want to know speed of release, length, speed and movement after the ball has pitched, and speed after interaction with the batsman along with angles, etc. - and that's just to get started. Ideally you want positional data on fielders, etc. too.

Don't get me wrong, this is a great starting set to get people interested, but there's a way to go for high-quality data being accessible to the hobbyist or academic researcher (although I believe Opta gives academics discounts to help make them "the" standard for clubs, etc.)

For one thing, it’s not exactly easy to move to another country, not since World War I. You can’t simply pick a country and move to it - and you full well known that when you dismiss somebody with this sentence.

For another, I like my country. And I have every right to not like where it’s heading. “If you don’t like my politics, emigrate” is preposterous.

You can start farming on land that you lease. When you have enough hardware and capital you start buying gradually. Starting as a farmer is very difficult but not for these reasons alone. Learning craft is super difficult. Sometimes you have one shot during a season to try something. My parent had higher education, where born into families with farming traditions but still took a decade to master vegetable production.

Amish cannot afford land because they suck at farming. They lack education and intentionally do not use modern farming techniques.
Nexus 5x is end of life unfortunately, which means it won't get security updates from Google and therefore isn't a great fit for this project.
Any ideas on how to fix the healthcare market? The feedback loops seem to be totally broken, in more than one place. I've long wondered how they could be restored, short of government action to try to make things drastically more efficient. Unfortunately, there seem to be strong incentives for officials not to do anything, given that that inefficiency means that healthcare is a major, growing, and well distributed employer.

Improved price transparency might help, and would be a relatively easy thing to improve, but with most patients not being responsible for paying their own costs, I'm not very optimistic about that route.

I would be very skeptical of that specific number while there are no market transactions going on.
Interview with Rick van Haasteren from SiteGuru
Your original comment was about running docker in systemd.

That bug doesn't appear to be closely related.

You wrote: "... it would be great if there was a way we could use systemd+journald in older OS to run applications".

That's what Lennart replied to. He didn't dismiss using it in containers as pid1, he dismissed running it on arbitrary older linuxes as pid != 1... those are completely different scenarios.

I do not find any support in that link for your original comment, so unless you have more evidence or can explain how I'm misunderstanding your bug, I still consider you to be spreading FUD.

We had major wars as recent as few years ago let alone half a century. Maybe not in the West and yes it was not of WW scale.

We do live in a today that has more medical advancements than yesterday. But is our lifestyle/life really healthy when looking at it for the long term? Are the widening gaps of socio economic imbalances really good or neutral for our society, again in the long term? And those advancements in science and technology reaching everybody evenly? I doubt all of these.

In Bangalore I drink packaged drinking water in a so called posh residential area. There is a village next to my apartment complex where people drink ground water and if they are lucky the water supplied by municipality. Both sources are unsafe and contaminated. They can't afford the packaged water. They also did not contaminate the water they drink. We (the richer part of the society) did.

I personally believe rich are leaving (now this may not be in a well planned and intentional manner) the poor behind in the race of survival or something like that.
No, because: when the land becomes expensive you just move somewhere else, as evidenced by your own statement.

Yes, because: there isn't an unlimited supply of land at the bottom of the gravity well.

But I'm willing it bet it's cheaper to irrigate the desert than grow food in multi-story buildings.

I bought a 65" 4k@60hz HiSense TV (65H8C) about a year and a half ago, haven't had any major complaints. It's always in PC/game mode which turns off as much of the post processing stuff as possible and it's low latency enough that I can play games on it without irritation. It's technically "smart" but it's never been connected to a network, I just use it for HDMI out of a media/gaming PC + consoles.

If you don't need something that big or bigger, there are lots of options in the 40-50 inch range... 3 years ago I got a dumb 42" 4k@60hz Seiki "TV" solely to use as my primary workstation monitor, it works fine for movies too. I did have to get some beta firmware from Seiki's Facebook account though in order to remove the unbearable latency even for programming tasks (gaming was out of the question before the flash).

Neither of those is going to impress someone who really cares about display quality of course. They work for me.
