The Uberization of Senior Living
A disproportionate quantity of wasted dollars in the USA are spent on hyper reactive healthcare for frail/elderly inside the Emergency Rooms (ER's) of Hospitals.

The eldercare system is set up in silos, such that once out of the Hospitals ER, the patient is often sent to a Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) each with independent record keeping, each with its own billing objectives. These are all temporary locations for the patient with a high probability of exacerbating patient symptoms or contracting new ailments in the process. Each transition of care creates a new series of problems due to lack of interoperability and repeat testing of the patient. The system in use today is entirely "reactive."

All of the above will be accelerated by the greatest demographic shift in recorded history, taking place right now. Many are calling this “The Gray Tsunami” because seniors will represent a much larger portion of our total population. As average life span increases, the cost of healthcare spikes dramatically. In 2017, the USA spent $4 Trillion on healthcare, more than the entire GDP of Germany. The healthcare system has enormous waste built into it, with senior wellness all too often handled reactively inside the Emergency Room.

That's not what the article says.

The article says that scientists say that the Atlantic change would not be the cause of warming, but Aerosols, Pacific ocean changes, and volcanic eruptions.

The scientists are not disagreeing about the direction of the temperature, but the cause. In this case, the new study is claiming humans are not the cause, but the new study shows no evidence to contradict the existing models. Thus scientists are "grumpy" that the study is shoddy.

I hate when economic mobility is measured that way (bottom quintile to top quintile movement). It completely ignore the absolute amount of money earned.

Let's say you're in Canada and you move from the bottom quintile to the top. Top quintile starts at $100K, and you're making $110K. Great!

Those poor American's who don't make it to the top quintile ($150K) and only the 4th quintile are making $125K.

Which one would you prefer? Does the US actually have lower income mobility? Relatively speaking, yes. Not in absolute terms though.
Wow. You mean to say, the server can strip it off while serving the images?

Not only would the server need to download the image, it would need to store it in perpetuity because the server would then be responsible for serving them to you (if your client makes any direct request you'll leak when you viewed the email, the trackers don't only track the first request). This is not something that is easy to implement.

We feel your pain. In fact we felt it so bad we decided to fix it. :)

Our dashboard is pretty MVP still. It's good but there is a lot we want to do yet.

There are a couple ways you can get the data out of our service.

We have webhooks that are like Apple's server-to-server notifications, but not terrible. We normalize them between Apple and Google and actually provide events that Apple does not (when a user unsubscribes).

Our Grow plan offers an ETL export where we can deliver you daily (or faster) CSV's ready to be loaded into Redshift or to be incorporated into your own ETL.

We also can do event forward and send subscription events as they happen to third party services like Mixpanel, Google Analytics, or Amplitude. So you can track renewal events without users opening their phones.

Government officials need to be impartial. Their personal relationships shouldn't come to bear in the decisions they make to spend public money.
The article dances around interesting ideas but instead settles for the washed up thesis that people are abusing government handouts.

There is an interesting phenomenon we are seeing: entrepreneurship is suddenly more glorious, encouraged by governments but often with misguided incentive structures (i.e. rewarding those who are great at pitching or making shiny vanity products).

So a more interesting question is: how can a government encourage entrepreneurial activity without enticing wantrapreneurs to demand free cash?

One idea is reverse tax. The government could reward a startup that is making money even if it's a small amount, and that way, the government is amplifying the market's rewards and not creating a faux incentive structure.

> And I thought that was very strange, because that used to be the Democratic Party's core constituency.

Abandoning the working class and going all-in for neoliberal economics while retaining center-left social policies was the defining feature of Bill Clinton’s campaign and Presidency; that faction of the party was dominant from then on, though there have been signs of that dominance weakening over the last several years; it would be poetic if it's dominance (in Presidential terms) within the party began and ended with a Clinton.
They don't support realying their user's outgoing mail through SMTP. They have to support server-to-server SMTP to receive incoming mail. The latter is where they encrypt incoming emails, but they could just as easily store the plaintext and you'd never know.
I think there's a related problem that would have been understandable at the time: if you don't understand how the world works, you are potentially missing out on patterned information which allows one to form more accurate models of the world across domains. The assumption that's made seems to be that different problem domains are all independent, but that's not completely true. That's probably the main reason that mathematics and language are so useful.

>They own your email

you mean the address? that's expected of every hosted email service. you're always free to use your own domain though.

>they don't support open protocols including SMTP and IMAP and the only way to export your emails is through a proprietary end-user application. They excuse this nonsense by saying that it's necessary for encryption, which is blatantly false. Their security is also based on trusting ProtonMail, since they could easily siphon off plaintext at the SMTP level or secretly modify their JavaScript to exfiltrate your private keys from the web browser. Genuinely secure systems do not require you to trust their operators.

fair point. although if you were serious about security, you'd be using self hosted server + your own PGP keys. but for most people who just want something that works just like gmail/outlook, it's definitely a step up.

>This is rich. Why don't you start with the far more fundamental and important standards of SMTP and IMAP, Protonmail?

how is SMTP/IMAP access supposed to work? you send the plaintext password to their server to decrypt and hope they're not storing your password?

> Why don't you open source your desktop & mobile applications or your bridge? What a joke.

they're talking about interoperability, not open source.
Not that I'm aware of, but neither has Intel. Intel recently published some patches that will enable Enhanced IBRS mode in future processors but those haven't even been talked about yet, I imagine that AMD will do something similar in the end but we haven't heard it yet.

This is an excellent, if a little macabre, take on the Parse shutdown.

I think they did as good a job as could be done shutting it down. But, I think they missed a huge opportunity though. They could have been Firebase. Maybe making money was an issue but I think they could have figured it out eventually.

> Ariane 6

Also, the first Ariane 6 test flight is currently scheduled for 2020.

Meanwhile, the next generation SpaceX platform, the BFR/BFS, is also expected to start orbital testing in 2020. BFR/BFS is 100% reusable, and will bring lift costs down at least an order of magnitude.

Now, everybody knows about 'Elon time', but the 2020 estimate comes from their COO, Gwynne Shotwell, who is without a doubt far more realistic with estimates.

I'm obviously a pretty huge SpaceX fan, but I really hope there is some meaningful competition for them in the future. It seems to me that Blue Origin might be the only possibility there.
Dang. That's more than similar - that's nearly identical form factor, for both that and the USB key.

Those inventions provide justification for space exploration - they establish this field as a tried-and-true way of generating very useful spinoff tech.

To counter this argument, the other side needs to justify that either those same inventions can be achieved in a different and more cost-effective way, or that we don't really need new tech (relative to its costs).
I see references here about zotero being able to look up metadata for a pdf.

I'm slightly confused what that means, is that just meta data in the pdf file, that isn't visually visible?

For a while I've wanted to make something that can extract the title, authors, and bibliography visually from a pdf. Is that what zotero can do also?

No, I did not. Sad to see that I made a post on LQ to try to stop someone from taking advantage of me, and a new person attempts to use that as a new opportunity to rip me off.

I appreciate everyone's concerns and I'm glad to see people are internet-street-smart enough not to fall for this. Unless you see it on the website, or LQ (from me), or in the ChangeLog, or with a GPG signature, remain skeptical. And don't believe anyone who says they are collecting money to give it to me. After all, that's what the store was saying.
If you think money is being wasted on space think again. The military industrial complex. Money would be better spend on a space industrial complex let alone a cancer industrial complex.

On the flip side, I personally find go extremely difficult to read.

First, repetitive error handling makes it overly tedious to actually get a quick intuition for what a function is doing. With Rust as a comparison, it’s extremely easy to see what the happy path is trying to accomplish without having the downsides of arbitrary and unexpected exceptions. Go is inarguably worse here.

Second, the inability to express higher-level concepts (due to, yes, lack of genetics) seems like it forces every function to deal with the nitty-gritty details of whatever it’s trying to accomplish, rather than being able to express ideas at a higher level and deal with the specifics in smaller code units. Yes, you don’t get “surprising” behavior, but the cost of this is that you’re forced to keep both the high level goals and the low level details in your head simultaneously, which I find to be a massive hindrance.

As sort of a side effect of both of these, there ends up being a ton of repetitive boilerplate. This actually hides bugs since it’s easy to miss minor differences between overly similar blocks of code dealing with errors or looping. As an example, languages like Rust and Ruby that have proper functional-style iterator methods prevent so many bugs through their inclusion it’s absolutely baffling to me how someone would opt to design a language today without such things.
In TXR Lisp, the algorithm I put in place basically finds the tightest power-of-two bounding box for the modulus, clisp the pseudo-andom number to that power-of-two range, and then rejects values outside of the modulus.

Example: suppose we wanted values in the range 0 to 11. The tightest power of two is 16, so we generate 4 bit pseudo-random numbers in the 0 to 15 range. If we get a value in the 12 to 15 range, we throw it away and choose another one.

The clipping to the power-of-two bounding box ensures that we reject at most 50% of the raw values.

I don't bother optimizing for small cases. That is, under this 4 bit example, each generated value that is trimmed to 4 bits will be the full output of the PRNG, a 32 bit value. The approach pays off for bignums; the PRNG is called enough times to cover the bits, clipped to the power-of-two box, then subject to the rejection test.

Would propose that a better relative measure of salaries is not against cost of living, but the delta between what it costs per year to hire a contractor vs. hire employee for the same role. This would show whether firms are in fact paying more for employees against the contracting cost, which is the real clearing price for the value of the work in the market - unclouded by promises of "stability."

Do we have anecdotes about the delta is between how much it costs to hire a contractor vs. employee for same role in the Bay Area vs. Toronto.

In Toronto, anecdotally, per year a contractor costs between %175 and %200 of an employee. Contractor firms take their %15-%50 cut depending on contractor desperation.

What's it like in the Bay Area?

I've heard people object to anthropomorphizing animals before, and it's always seemed like a very odd objection to me. Dogs and cats react very similarly to us when it comes to things like threats or fear or play. That makes sense given that a lot of the evolutionary constraints on any predatory animal are going to be similar. Additionally, dogs absolutely co-evolved with humans, with us adapting to understand and build relationships with them and them evolving to incorporate themselves into our communities.

I'm not saying pets are exactly the same as humans, but I do think that you're going to be hard-pressed to find a better heuristic for dog behavior than thinking about what a non-verbal human would do in their situation.

(I know you didn't make a particularly strong statement here; I'm just responding to other objections I've heard).
I think the idea is that anything in public can be photographed at any time by any one. If you're out in public, someone could photograph you with a cell phone from the street, from a building, from a helicopter, etc. Drones don't change that equation in the slightest.

What drone photography does change is how easy it is to photograph angles that were difficult before, not the fact that it's possible. Which is the same for mobile phones. Since the invention of the camera, it's always been possible to photograph anything anyone anywhere. Camera phones just made it easier, since now nearly everyone has a camera. But that doesn't mean it wasn't possible before, or that you have less privacy in public places. You've never had privacy in public places.
This is really cool.

Is there any way you can add the option to turn the CSS into React inline styles?
You can't analyze a person's behavior, especial their emotional behavior, without including cultural context. Society does not appreciate people leaving toddlers home alone, but they do not care if you do so with a puppy. That alone is enough to make the matter of "dog care" irrelevant in assessing someone's feelings on the matter.

It could have been a simple misunderstanding and your boss crediting the wrong person.

In the big picture these things don't matter a whole lot, I wouldn't take the time to discuss it with your boss any further.

Maybe talk to your teammate and see if he was trying to take credit for it or if it just happened to look that way.

Try to bring up more what you are working on and ideas you are executing on with your team and boss in the future.

kudos are nice but very minor in the big scheme of things. You are all cogs in a machine to your company and boss. So I wouldn't let it get you down and it's not worth making waves over.

I know I'm going to get downvoted, but Apple seems more like a luxury/status brand these days. Anyone who values money because they don't have a lot of it will be choosing Android all day long. If they do have money, they'll buy Apple because they notice that's what their peers have. The rationalization comes after that.

I laughed pretty hard at that one. In LA, the homeless have iPhones...it's definitely not a status symbol down here.

At this point in the product cycle, everyone I know with an Apple wishes they had an Android, and almost everyone with an Android wishes they had an Apple, because the grass is always greener on the other side. But everyone sticks with their respective OS because of lock-in.
How do you arrive at that conclusion considering that nowadays browsers tend to run each page in dedicated threads and in some cases even processes? In that scenario your assertion would only hold if you assume no one has more than a couple of pages open at any given time.

I'd expect it's possible by changing the generator at the lowest level, but it makes sense to me that you need a loop if you don't control the underlying generator.

Imagine you want to turn a random number in 1..4 into a random number in 1..3. The original is your only source of randomness, so the rest should be deterministic. Then each outcome in 1..4 has to map to exactly one number in 1..3, but there's no mapping that accepts all of 1..4 while still giving each of 1..3 an equal probability.

This seems to be common misconception. Akihito is NOT "Emperor Heisei" now. The name is always given posthumously (though it is yet to be seen for Akihito if he will be named immediately after abdication or also posthumously.
