> Honestly, this isn't necessary, as long as you have single payer (or close to it). When the government is the one paying for 99% of healthcare, they have huge clout enforcing razor-thin margins and high efficiency on the provider side. Just look at how the massive supermarket chains are able to keep the margins of the upstream supply chain at a minimum.

The problem is that governments don't work that way. When a purchasing officer at a business negotiates a lower price he gets a large bonus. What does a Congressman get when he negotiates a lower price, compared to what he gets (from the people he's negotiating with) if he "negotiates" a higher price? What about the government bureaucrat who will be working in that industry soon? That is the problem.

Meanwhile who is more knowledgeable about produce if you have a question, the staff at Walmart or the farmers at the local farmer's market? It's easy to order cost cutting from the top of the tower, but if you don't know what's happening on the ground, you don't know what you're actually cutting.

What you need is for people -- the people who are actually consuming services and can choose to go somewhere else if the price is wrong -- to be able to choose based on published price information. The argument people sometimes make about this is that you don't get to choose which hospital an ambulance takes you to when you're unconscious, but the majority of healthcare spending isn't that, and that doesn't explain why we have no price transparency for non-emergency surgical procedures or diabetes or cancer treatment.

I worked remotely for four years and liked it a lot. The only problem was as the company grew more people came onboard who didn't really understand how to work well in a remote environment, which eventually ruined it. If you're on a remote team with people who don't like video conferencing, asynchronous text chat, etc then it's very hard to work effectively.

This is going to be a bigger problem as remote work gets more common - at the moment companies that work remotely attract developers who want to work remotely, so it works. As time goes on more developers who don' want to work remotely are going to be pushed in to remote environments as a cost saving measure, and that's going to make it much harder for everyone. How to deal with that problem is going to be a challenge.
> That's an insane thing to say. Literally 100s of people doing the same thing adding no value to the end user. That is a waste amount of resources waste by the open source community.

Or you know developers could package their own software. It's some upfront effort but usually set and forget. Things like FPM[1] make this even easier. Personally I don't know why developers find packaging so hard, I've had to package hundreds of bit of software for different distros (and versions of said distro) over my career and it's usually set and forget with some changes when there are big underlying changes to the OS like sysv > systemd. Granted my experience is with non GUI apps so I can imagine there is likely some pain points between different distros/version when it comes to the hot mess that is DEs.

> Good? Why does it matter to you.

Because I have to go from trusting 1 vendor to install 1 package (and dependencies) to 1 3rd party repo that anyone can push to. That is a huge change in the trust model.

> Nothing stops you or any distribution from having a repo with reviewed or specially selected software.

We already have those.

> Also, the waste majority of packagers would not have found that malware anyway.

This isn't about trusting the software in the package it's about trusting the package maintainer, who could now be absolutely anyone with no verification or validation. See malware in other user run repos like NPM, pip, AUR etc...

Without controls and blind tests, I can understand how folks fool them selves into thinking something like that can work. Its no different from witchcraft and other magical thinking - "I did X and Y happened. I conclude X caused Y!" Whether its poking pins in a doll, or poking pins in people, things are more complicated than that, especially medicine.
Monolog and Doctrine should be properly detected. After that, we need to match detected dependencies with fundraising strategies (today Open Collective, in the future Patreon and others). Maybe this is why they're not appearing in the "Projects Requiring Funding" section. Feel free to submit an issue on GitHub and we can look at that in details.
The problem is they need a story like self-driving cars to maintain the (inflated) valuation long enough for existing investors to get out. Taxi rides alone are not nearly enough.

I think they are aware that they don't have a chance at it long-term. A partnership isn't as sexy, but might be enough to eek out a $50B valuation.

What worries me more is that packaged applications come with 1-n standards again.

There is no value in having a package manager on top of one.

The real problem is that actual software is trying hard to be too complex and violate best practices for installing software.

User managed Apps are okay. But: only for private use and never for company use since user control IS the actual issue there.

HP was like West Coast IBM, complete with the paternalistic (although a different style) culture and history of fat margins.

The problem is that they started acquiring things too late, and bought mostly crap that didn't have a big moat around them. IBM exists because they made smart sales 50-60 years ago that are still returning value to the company in the form of maintenance, services and complementary sales.

HP chose unwisely and bought into legacy platforms that weren't as sticky.

Empathy deficiency is definitively not what the battle school was looking for. It's the reverse - they wanted someone capable of emphathizing with his enemy while still willing to destroy them with no hesitation. The obvious counterpoint in the story is his brother Peter: he's just as brilliant as Ender, but gets rejected by the academy explicitly for being a sociopath.
These laws are extremely vague, and already applied very selecively. For instance, if you look at Code of Conduct on Countering Illegal Hate Speech, the European Comission admits that they want the websites to perform the function of the judge, jury, executioner:

"Isn't it for courts to decide what is illegal?

Yes, interpreting the law is and remains the responsibility of national courts. At the same time, IT
companies have to act in line with national laws, in particular those transposing the Framework
Decision on combatting racism and xenophobia"

So if you're a website operator, and it has the text that says "slaves, obey your masters", should that be deleted? Why or why not?

What about "do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man, she must be quiet"?

Ask HN: Getting fired for social media posts?

In the mid-90s I worked for a software vendor which supported most of the “open systems” Unix flavors along with Windows, DOS, VMS, etc. There were individual C files which were thousands of lines long, almost all #ifdefs working around buggy C compilers.

GCC was often preferred even at a performance cost because it wasn't worth figuring out some quirk of the HP, Data General, SCO, etc. C toolchain, especially because the pricing models of that era often meant that it cost tens of thousands of dollars just to setup the same environment that a single customer had.

That would actually be a good force. It is insanity that a 20 year old pays the same that a 50 year old, or that someone that exercises, does his check-up, etc pays the same as someone that never goes to the doctor, doesnt take care of himself etc etc. Even car insurance does this.

The point of insurance is to manage risk, not to reward it.
Right. We already have a great solution to many of the autonomous vehicle problems. Trains and busses.
And who shall provide that service? Why, the government of course. It's just common sense.
The traffic situations could be handled by some sort of beacon system informing drivers within say 500m distance that on given road they need to take over computer because something exceptional is happening.

The problematic part would be something unplanned (ie car crash ahead of you). You can't leave this to other drivers (replacing car hazard button), because it would be very easily attackable to create chaos on the roads.

There are so many problems and corner cases that we could sit all evening and keep coming with more or less exotic ones. Just look at how busy traffic looks like in places like India.

Self-driving is probably #1 on my wishlist (next to true immersive VR), but boy that's HARD problem to solve. Maybe 2040 if companies keep the interest(money) in it.
I spent a few weeks in Bangkok for work back in 2016, and I remember loving the food at first, but after a week the constant flavour profile of sweet+sour+salty+spicy (e.g. sugar + lime juice + fish sauce + peppers) started grating on me. I really tried to test different things, and was invited out regularly by local colleagues. But maybe that's just one part of Thailand?

Maybe they say the same thing about "classical French" (i.e. Lyon/Paris) cuisine's reliance on cream, shallots and bacon :)
I looked at their site briefly and didn't quite see the answer to this, on the bottom of their FAQ (https://www.augur.net/faq/) it says:

Fees on the Augur protocol go directly to the market creator and REP holders who report and dispute outcomes. The Forecast Foundation does not recieve any fees from actions, trades, markets or use on the Augur protocol.

I guess this has to do with them being a decentralized marketplace, which as the article discusses does have some cool perks.

In the USA, PredictIt.org is a site that is also aimed at prediction, but they take a 10% fee on profit, and then a 5% fee on withdrawal. Seemingly a lot more volume on their markets than Augur at the moment, with some of their markets having hundreds of thousands of shares traded, and thousands of comments.

Edit: After I posted I now see that Gibsons77 gave a better and more concise answer to the question
I've worked full time remote for two companies now, and one was more like you described, where most of the team was in one place with "augmented" remote employees, and the other bit the bullet and treated everyone remotely, even though there are large physical offices where some people like to work. And the main issue is communication.

"Augmenting" your team with remote workers leads to horrible communication. First, meeting rooms require very good audio setup, and very few people will spend the time, hire a sound engineer, and operate the meeting such that everyone in the room is clearly audible. As a end result, the remote workers often sit there with the sound up trying to figure out what's being said most of the time. Thus, people can never really act normally - everything has to be this composed, staged, response.

Additionally, the mostly local team will frequently have offhand conversations the remote workers are never a part of. Thus, you get siloing. Add time zone shifts, and the amount of siloing increases.

The place I work for now has teams that rarely meet in a physical room together - even though several members sit near each other, everyone's got a headset. It is amazing how decent audio changes communication. We also frequently have chats online.

Additionally, all major meetings at my current company are held as if people are remote. And events or other informal affairs are kept organized and isolated. I don' t have to sit through notifications about the coffee machine on the 3rd floor of a building 1300 miles away being broken.

I believe this has led to senior management feeling comfortable working remotely as well, so some VPs work from cities where there is no significant office or company presence.

Now, I _do_ wish this company relied on writing, but not everyone is a good writer. It takes a lot of time to build up that kind of confidence. If I could make one change, it would be to improve writing.
Perceptions of Newsworthiness Are Contaminated by a Political Usefulness Bias
Coupling and Cohesion
It's on Glenwood near Crabtree Valley Mall.

Something I just realized is the group that owns Sawasdee Glenwood doesn't own the Capital location. I would have sworn that when the Glenwood location opened it had stuff in the restaurant (e.g. on the menu) that talked about both locations...

A quick google shows something fishy definitely happened with the Capital location - https://www.newsobserver.com/news/local/crime/article8702121...

Regardless, Sawasdee on Glenwood is good. Like most restaurants, it was really good when it first opened and went through a low (food was super inconsistent, and sometimes terrible) for a while, but over the last year it looks like they've updated menus and the people working there have changed. Maybe a change in ownership? My experiences have been good.
You mention the upside of sabre rattling. The downside is it tends to result in people getting killed.
You're not thinking laterally. The problem isn't extremist videos. The problem is that there are too many videos uploaded to reasonably check all of them. Charging would solve that problem, which in turn solves the problem of extremist content.
There is a persistent story that there are "good" people and "bad" people, and that "good people" only do bad things under very extreme circumstances. Everyone wants to believe they would never do that, for various definitions of that. Only real monsters would do that.

There is plenty of evidence that this story is false, yet one sees it constantly.
I wish remote work was more popular.

More like burdens like limiting the amount of doctors available, not allowing the importation of foreign drugs, tying healthcare to the employer, etc.

You can manage the problem of pre-existing conditions in an insurance system with a subsidy, instead of a mandate that forces a 20 year old minimum wage person to work part time, because the employer cannot afford to pay healthcare for him.

In Eliyahu M. Goldratt's "Theory of Constraints", you can't increase the throughput of a factory by making each step in the manufacturing process faster [1,2].

That only results in building up inventory which actually decreases the efficiency of the entire process.

Instead, identify and fix the biggest bottleneck. Even if you do that inefficiently, with more labor, or with a sub-optimal machine, fixing the biggest bottleneck increases total throughput.

Once that's done, then focus on the biggest bottleneck of the newly revised process.

The counterintuitive result is that by focusing only on constraints, the process steps that are unconstrained will be idle much of the time.

Inexperienced factory managers see people standing around doing nothing and think this is inefficiency to be eliminated. Experienced managers realize that idleness is essential at unconstrained stations, and trying to eliminate it will actually decrease total output.

I agree with you that poorer developing nations will want to generally avoid high upfront costs to new energy (if they can). Doesn't building new coal plants present high upfront cost just the same?
They've allowed (or even actively encouraged) this narrative to develop around how they'll make money as soon as they have self-driving cars. This requires not just the availability of self-driving on some small scale in specific places or along part of a driving route but broad availability in urban areas where a lot of people live (i.e. where self-driving is especially difficult).

Admitting the tech is a ways out means either 1.) Admitting that they have no idea how they're going to make money or 2.) Admitting that they're going to have to significantly raise prices to both improve per-mile profitability and cover the inevitable associated volume dropoff.

The only real explanation I have for why Uber hasn't accepted the inevitable and jacked up rates is that so many people are feeding at the trough no one wants to be the one to admit that the emperor has no clothes and there's no magic fix for making money at the current rate structure.
Sure, just like there is nothing stopping them doing the same with apt/yum/etc... the things is that they don't. SO if they stop publishing their native packages and push to a handful of central repos I'm forced into a 1:N trust situation rather than the 1:1 it should be.
Share your country and I will be very much able to show you why the burden of regulation is worse in the us, at least in terms of price. And lets add one more thing: we can compare the US to itself, to 50 years ago, and show that 50 years ago healthcare was super cheap, and still private.
