I hope this helps to decrease the costs of medical care in the US to some extent as it removes one pressure for doctors to earn extra money charging for things that might not need to be needed.

edit: Just so I am clear I know that there are lots of other influences on healthcare costs and doctor debt isn't the only pressure they face. Doctors do have some influence on cost (if not large) and if pressure on them is removed in any way some of them may choose to spend that extra time helping their patients money go further. Small early influences can have large effects on a system so I am hoping that this kind of influence might change attitudes enough to have a large longer term change.
Slack down?
Slack down at our office anyone else having issues. Looks like it's IRC fallback time...
I'm going by the content of the story, which describes acquiring the phone number as the key issue.

> After the first hack, Terpin alleged that an impostor was able to get his phone number from an "insider cooperating with the hacker" without an AT&T store employee requiring him to show valid identification or provide a required password. That phone number was later used to access Terpin's cryptocurrency accounts, according to the complaint.

How do you define tech?
Did the invention of printed paper improve our lives?
Did the invention of the pen improve our lives?
Did the invention of penicillin improve our lives?
etc....

I think it makes our lives easier, but anything can be misused.

Planes can drop bombs, they can also rescue hurricane victims.

Books can educate, they can also spread propaganda.

It all depends on the motivation behind the use of the tech.
I find myself looking for a "just a browser" browser, like I remember from the late 1990s.

Firefox calls home, and has Firefox Sync and Pocket integrated.

Edge calls home, and is tied into your Microsoft account. (Along with the rest of Windows 10.)

Who knows what Chrome is sending back to Google, probably way more than I fear.

Safari is close, but only exists on macOS and integrates with iCloud.

The closest I've found far is "GNOME Web" (which used to be called Epiphany). It's Just A Browser! But as far as I know, being a GTK application, it doesn't function well outside of the GNOME desktop.

The world needs a new, open source, cross-platform, Just A Browser.
It is amazing how central slack can be. You don't realize it until it is down.
Well, with most unions, I as a worker have the ability to affect union leadership and policy. I have very little or zero ability to affect management policy.
So they may not have metal tracks, but they will be limited to similar turning radii as a subway line just to maintain passenger comfort going at 120 mph. No trains travelling faster than 60 mph are limited in turning radius by mechanical properties.

Wrt. fire suppression: Tesla can state whatever they want, but they will either have to fulfill the demands set forth in NFPA 502 for fire suppression in tunnels, or they will never be allowed to open to the public. Civil engineering is very strict on these things, for a very good reason.

For an underground train, you can have the train platform extend well beyond the actual station building. If you've ever taken the subway/tube in NY or London or similar you know what I mean.

If not, look e.g. at this Google Maps of the Gloucester Road tube stop:

https://goo.gl/maps/KQwuSz6RCUE2

The station building is the small square labeled Gloucester Road tube stop. But the platform extends all the way under the shopping mall (Waitrose's etc) out to the intersection between Cromwell Road and Ashburn Place.
As I’ve tried to implement my minimal ssh client (just to connect, execute some command and get the result) I’ve had exactly opposite impression of the “just a stream of bytes” that you mention -- exactly the lack the abstraction. Can you point to any source that does ssh without having to care about a lot of weird terminal and console ancient stuff? I’d be really glad to see it! To me it looked as “everything and the kitchen sink” (that is, exactly the kind of things mentioned in the OP or the comments, like terminal signals and whatnot) has to be there.

SSL is straightforward compared that, at least, once the keys are set. But ssh... as seen in the OP even the console or the terminal or however that part it called has to be very special, and they are obviously proud they implemented that too. In 2018. Probably decades after the last single hardware terminal was sold.

One important property of a test track is that, if things don’t work out as intended, you can take it down for indefinite periods for upgrades or even take it down forever. Test tracks don’t have SLAs.

"Opt-in collective bargaining" sounds suspiciously like "right to work" laws. I don't think you meant it like that, but it sounds like that.

In case someone isn't aware, a union shop, has a union that negotiates a contract with management. It sets wages, benefits, safety, all sorts of stuff. Most importantly, it negotiates for all workers at the shop. The reason why it negotiates for all workers (or more precisely all workers that qualify for union (e.g. all pilots, all janitors, all machinists, etc.) is that 1) it increases bargaining power, and 2) it simplifies things for the company. As a result, in a union shop, if you work there in a capacity that is union eligible, you're compelled to pay dues to union for the purposes of contract negotiating. (Dues for other purposes are not compelled.) Everyone benefits from the contract. Everyone pays to negotiate said contract.

"Right to work" laws say that you can't be compelled to pay dues to negotiate contracts, and yet you still benefit from the contracts. It's a legal carve out for free riders, with the purpose to starve unions of money and thus negotiating power. This isn't a side effect of this policy, it's its purpose. That's why you find pro-management groups and politicians advocating for these laws, while denigrating unions.

Great movie. I liked the way the regular citizens (the non leadership) of Elysium were portrayed as largely oblivious or lacking in any care to the sufferings on Earth.

If you ban a conspiracy theorist, doesn't that give him credibility among conspiracy theorists? Suddenly he's right. Suddenly there is a conspiracy between facebook, youtube, etc, to ban him. Suddenly he's a prophet rather than a satirical nut. What he said would happen came true.

There seems to be a dumbing down of America, where we expect corporations to be the ones to decide things are right or wrong, rather than letting individuals make up their own minds and spot satire or bad will or exaggeration on their own. Anyone watching Alex Jones could laugh at some of his more ridiculous claims. Just because some people believed every word he said..

How is anyone better off now that he's banned? People who didn't watch him still don't watch him. People who did watch him still watch him ( maybe moreso because they downloaded his app ), and people who were on the fence maybe think he was right.
Fair enough, but in general the candidate has a lot more information about the company (e.g. through the website, news, etc.) than the company about the candidate. But, yeah, it definitely depends on the supply/demand ratio; a company that's getting more applications than they need should take steps to optimize/automate the process. At least the initial steps - later rounds should definitely involve humans, in-person interviews, culture fit etc.
> if I had read the compositor source code before posing the question, I'd have known that the client merely provides the window decoration as a visual area, but not its behaviour. The move and resize behaviour itself including user interaction is part of the compositor.

Things get weirder and weirder. So clients are supposed to draw in controls, but compositors determine how they behave‽ What if a client draws a close button, but a compositor doesn't have any such concept? What if a client doesn't draw a close button: how does a compositor expose the ability to close the window?

Either this is poorly though-out (unlikely) or I'm really missing something (rather more likely).
That can just as easily be explained by government officials not doing their duty, and not funding the obligations they promised. During the boom times, they assumed growth would always be huge, so they diverted money meant to go to these funds to cover other shortfalls in budget.
This is amazing. I graduated from medical school two years ago with $300,000 in debt. I'm a software developer on the side and would love to stop residency to try a healthcare startup and/or pursue a research, but the risk is too great - I need the attending salary to pay off the debt.

I was at Atari from 1982 to 1987. During the heart of the crash, I remember attending a meeting with a bunch of 2600 programmers and marketing types, and the new Atari CEO (a guy from the tobacco firm Philip Morris -- I forget his name -- who spent the whole meeting chain smoking).

The meeting was supposed to be a brainstorming session for a 2600 game related to some Warner film that was coming up. It did not go well. The tone in the room from the programmers was that everything on the 2600 had been done, and that the platform had been tapped out. The marketing folks just wanted pixels on the screen and didn't give a damn about the content. I think it might have been the Philip Morris guy's first exposure to the toxicity of Atari marketing and the jadedness of the Atari programmers; his eyes just kept getting bigger and the smoke started coming out of him faster as the meeting wore on.

In the end, I think that a programmer and an artist were sent off with some notes and told to "go think about it some more," and that's the last anyone ever heard of that project. Less than six months later Atari was essentially gone, split into the coin-op group, and Jack Tramiel's Atari Corp (which shipped the Atari ST less than a year later).

Most 2600 games were crap, and consumers knew it and stopped buying terrible games. I don't blame them. Atari made some boneheaded decisions with its new consoles (the non-centering joystick on the 5200 is a classic Atari move). In the spring of 1984 the company was losing several million dollars a day (2M? 3M?) and wasn't a sustainable business, given the market and its burn rate.
Huge. I went private for my medical school education and came out of it with about $190K in debt. Fortunately I didn't have any undergrad debt.

But I liked family practice, and I like public health, and I'm proud to work in those fields. I definitely understand the push to go to higher-paid specialties with a burden like that, though.

The pattern editing workflow seems nice. Editing C code and waiting for it to upload to an Arduino was never very fun. Being able to see a preview and quickly send to the controller over WiFi is a game changer.

One thing I like about those cheap WS2812B controllers (https://www.amazon.com/s/field-keywords=ws2812b+rf) is the RF remote. An add-on for the Pixelblaze would be neat. Just on/off, changing the brightness, switching patterns, and switching to auto cycling between patterns would be sufficient.

One more suggestion: support for 2D patterns (I guess it's just the previews that need support since you can do simple math to turn a 2D pattern into a 1D strip)

Also: open source, please :)
This is staggeringly naive.

Executive pay is not set by "the market". Executive pay is set by other executives sitting on each others boards.

How surprising this executive class somehow consistently votes to give their fellow executives a greater and greater share of their corporations' value.

Intuition is the name we give to what we learned early.

0 and 1 are both perfectly fine starting points. They both have advantages and disadvantages.

0 is more common since a lot of languages use C as a starting point in some fashion. C chose 0 because then it can create syntactic sugar for sequential memory access via pointers. Or arrays.
In regards to 2: I find it difficult sometimes to work with a language that doesn't have Elixir/Erlang's pattern matching, and sometimes I wish I hadn't learned about it...

Companies were also supposed to be efficient engines of production which also returned value to society through some element of reducing costs to customers too. Informally, it was supposed to result in a whole-society win-win. That is also failing.

Edit: I should be a bit more specific. I think in some stages of development, it has and still is succeeding very well (developing nations). In other areas like developed nations, there is a regression to inequality that is occurring that is figuratively and literally headed to destabilizing the world.
As a 13-year-old at the time, it was depressing. The consoles and console games of the late 70s/early 80s seemed to have plateaued, and the PC-like systems that were heralded as replacements were expensive and didn't really have many good games.

At home, I had a Colecovision console whose most impressive game was a 3D platformer, Zaxxon. The rest of the Colecovision catalogue was lame. I also had a Vic 20 which didn't have any real games of note (although it was interesting if somewhat frustrating to type in some BASIC games from magazines).

I had access to Apple II+ and IIe machines at school and a neighbor had an Atari 800. Choplifter was probably the most impressive thing on either one. I remember a lot of people being really disappointed by the Atari 800 as it was made by a gaming company yet didn't have anything that was really that fun.

(This was, incidentally, the same time that text adventures were getting a shot in the arm with Zork and the follow-up games, but that was different than the action games teens like me craved)

At that point I kind of dropped away from gaming and got into music in a big way. The NES didn't gain traction until I was in college in the late 80s, and by that point I was more interested in some of the arcade games that were popping up in the basement of the student union.

The initial sentence has always bothered me

> To denote the subsequence of natural numbers 2, 3, ..., 12 without the pernicious three dots

What's so pernicious about them? I don't see it. It seems like a clear and intuitive way to communicate a sequence to me. I even wrote a little range generator in JS to explore parsing declarations like that. https://github.com/chrisbroski/iterize It seems to work fine.
From my (limited) understanding, the high cost of malpractice insurance that doctors must pay is what drives up the cost of healthcare, more so than their student debt.
They're using key pinning, so you would have to use one of Google's keys and use one of Google's authorized CAs. But second, I imagine the auto-update process is using a non-TLS certificate to verify the signed binaries. Either way you have to hack Google.

It would actually be much easier to just find a vuln in Chrome that can break out of sandbox and get root.
Makes sense to me; and I genuinely approve of the intent, but why

- is it not installed when the driver installs (to be clear: if you have the app installed, then in the "mouse properties" control panel you have a new tab that appears called "device settings", it's not an app that you launch on its own, it's not a new control panel, it's at the same spot as before as a tab in a generic windows control panel, there is no placeholder to warn you ... it's a really bad experience)

- was I not warned about it when it moved me from the older/legacy one to that (by windows update)

- can't I find it in windows store search or in my library of installed app (only way to find it to install it that I know of, is to open the direct link in edge and let edge pass it to the windows store app) [if that one is me being an idiot, I will gladly take it; because it's the weirdest one for me]

- did it not carry over my settings (I noticed it because both tapping and disable-if-usb reverted to default settings)

It felt like one of those case where they all played with the "new install" experience and no one took looked at what users doing an update would see.

It's a great move forward, and a great idea, but a terrible user experience. 10 minutes in a beer testing environnement would have told them that.

I think, and would hope, that medical school interviews would help to weed out those who are just in it for the money. Even in highly-paid specialties, you have to want to do the work you do.

Were there people in my class who were in it largely for the prestige, etc.? Sure. Those people tended to go into high-profile specialties like plastics. But they were the minority, and I think that schools recognize in general these types of students are bad for the profession.
Yes but MDMA specifically will mangle your brain after very little recreational usage relative to almost all other drugs. Recreational use of MDMA a few times a week is _very bad_ on the long term health of your brain, very few other drugs are on that level — certainly none of the drugs you’ve listed.
