All this blaming Google for being evil, when they suffer due to political implications, why we just watch and do nothing about it ? Because it's private company ? So why now ? It's still private company.
Generally people don't unless they really need to, a significant chunk of assembler is a maintainbility horror in most commercial contexts. But it's still useful for really weird architectures or getting the most out of your PC - the compiler is not going to auto-vectorise use of the GF2P8AFFINEINVQB instruction for you.
I think you might be getting downvoted for using an abbreviation for 'transmission' that also happens to be a homonym for a slur against transgender people. You've written a good, informative comment drawing on your specialist expertise, so it seems a shame to have it lose visibility. You might consider editing to change the word that could be upsetting some people.
When playing Battlefield 5 beta last weekend, I was actually thinking about this. I'm wondering how they'll approach it in that game.

I have a bit of a double feeling about this as a Belgian - on the one hand I think it's a good direction for the industry. We didn't have that crap a decade ago and I'll be happy to see it removed. OTOH, I hope they don't just remove content for the Belgian market as it'd potentially create an unfair system.

It is EA after all, a company I don't have a lot of faith in.

At least in France, it's both. The cost for the patient is usually low thanks to the health insurance, but also because of price control. A GP visit is 25 euros by law, covered from 70 to 100% depending on your insurance. Doctors can choose to charge more but then patients need better private insurances to be reimbursed.

You can find the price lists here:

Beamforming is cheap, for sectorial scan phone cpu can easily handle it, of course it will not be all big HQ image, but for initial scan is enough, but ADC with pulse generator - that one is expensive, for decent quality digital steering you need for example minimum 16 channel adc in mhz range and that one is not cheap. If you think it cheap go and google 128 channel ADC plus 128 pulse generators with protection circuit (i know somebody says overkill, but for ndt is pretty norm)

That's completely fine. The problem with this entire thread is the thought that there is some kind of inherent value to human life. There isn't.

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. It's the nature of any gamble, and life certainly is one.

Its never going to be cheap where it matters. Look at Tokyo, there are a lot of new appartment towers built every single year but prices dont go down because demand is always high. At best you can stabilize prices but cheap is unrealistic.
> Here most elderly either gets support in their own home by professionals

That’s common as well if they can mostly look after themselves and only need say a weekly visit from a nurse.

I think the only difference is the children are expected to pay.

It’s maybe half live with their kids and the rest live independently.

> or at a home with professional care

This is common when they need full time care. But this is usually only a small % and not for long.

And again the kids pay.

> I'd rather spend time with my family on our own terms and not because I have to support them.

That’s one way to think about it.

My perspective is my parents supported me for 16 years and so I have a duty to support them.

I think it is good for character, helps people to appreciate life, and helps build meaningful relationships. It also means grandparents get to spend lots of time with their grandchildren.
Yeah, but that's not really what happened. According to the letter, the content provider removed the content, so Apple had to in turn, remove the content.

And the counter to this is of course - if you bought it on disc, you'd still have it - and that's 100% correct. Digital media has different licensing then purchased physical media so digital purchases that are "streamed" must also follow those different licensing restrictions.

Or I'm completely wrong?

I have found that saying "why are you asking for X...can you tell me what you are trying to achive with X?" works wonders as a starting point. Make it about the outcome and not the how is a big part of moving forward and being successful.

Surprisingly similar orthogonality to ARM.
Protestant work ethic would also absolutely recognise taking care of your family as "work". In fact, it would recognise nearly anything that keeps you non-idle and isn't done purely for pleasure as work. The requirement to be employed in order to receive social help is really weird, it should also factor in any elderly parents and children to take care of. Even from the point of view of complete utilitarianism aiming for maximum workforce, helping parents raise children is a net gain because those children will grow up to be workers, at least until they themselves have children to take care of.
No, the per capita cost of healthcare in the US is astronomically greater than Western European countries, including both private and public spend. In the UK the NHS is a socialised service that is free at the point of use. If that's not 'regulation' then I don't know what is.

It's the same in Sweden as well. You can simply choose to do your driving exam with an automatic, but then you are not allowed to drive with a manual transmission.

Also, a year or two ago was the first year where half the new cars sold were automatic. The first time I ever tried driving an automatic was actually when first driving my own car; we bought our car just before I got my license, so I couldn't test drive it then but I could drive it home when it was delivered. I quickly decided that I would not ever be getting a car with manual transmission.

This is especially funny to me since I'm working on Need for Speed which is all about car culture, where people have a lot of passion for driving stick.

If you actually believe that, it will be come a self-fulfilling prophecy for you. And that will be your choice, as the US is full of opportunity.

For example, you can get an MIT education for free on youtube, you can open a business on github for free, you can get funding for free from kickstarter, you can advertise for free on reddit, you can reach a worldwide market for free via the internet, you can write and sell a book on Amazon for free, and on and on. Nobody needs to know your age, gender, ethnicity, religion, location, disability, marital status, etc.

There's never been such opportunity, right here anywhere in America.

I agree, this should have been HTML, not chasing the latest JavaScript fad. They managed to get links wrong. How on earth can you get something so easy and fundamental wrong!? I hold down command and click all the time to open in a new tab. They've got it opening in a new tab and following the link, so you can't stay in one place and open several tabs. This is something a beginner with an hour's experience of HTML can get right.
Oh wow, my post was just removed. One can have opinion here as long as it resonates with HN's echo chamber.
Obviously humans aren't lions. I was just saying that the idea that nature tends toward equillibrium between individuals doesn't stand up to even the most cursory look at real nature.

And if you think he meant human nature, I would say that generally, by nature, humans are kind and share with those they see as their people, but the complete opposite with anyone outside that group. Since the market is made up of people only in the abstract to most people, I would say that that nature doesn't tend toward equillibrium between individuals either.

EV's torque curve is different than a manual. Torque on an EV is instant so it available faster than a manual, but then tapers down (Because the cars are programmed that way). If you had performance manual transmission car, the torque curve keeps going up.

That's what when people drag race a Tesla, the Tesla wins in a quarter mile, but then all of these other high speed automobiles end up catching and passing the Tesla a few seconds afterwards. This video explains it[1].

> I'd rather spend time with my family on our own terms and not because I have to support them.

Speaking as an Asian, I grew up in a culture where parents, and elders in general, are super-important. Things are changing now, but many of us are still very close to our parents.

In old-school thought, taking care of one's parents is seen not as an obligation, but as an opportunity to serve them, and to repay them (in some small measure) for the love and care we have received from them in our childhood.

When my grandfather passed away suddenly and unexpectedly in his 60s, my father was distraught that he did not get an opportunity to serve him.

My point is, many of us view the situation differently - not as a burden, but as an opportunity.

However, it is undeniable that sometimes it can be a burden, and for those situations, it would have been excellent to have the government take care of the elderly, as it is done in your country.

Edit: A typo.
Doesn't the average consumer spends a lot more than $530 a year on farmed goods?
Excellent, an Internet that is heavily censored by Google. I guess thats the ultimate agenda of most governments, which means its the end goal of Google's greed.

> leftists and communists were strongly against immigration

This is revisionism and ignores the whole "internationalism" vs "socialism in one country" debate. It also fails to recognise the history of nativist (far-)right anti-immigration parties and lefty anti-borders activists.

I like this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8RxkpUvxK0

The speaker formerly worked at Google, and around 8:55 in the video relates the story of being on a hiring committee that was known for being tough on candidates. And a recruiter once forwarded a set of interview packets to them, and they voted "no hire" on all of them. The recruiter then revealed to the committee that they'd been given their own packets, slightly anonymized, from when they were interviewed, and had just voted against hiring themselves.
I've driven quite a bit with both manual and automatic and, while there is definitely a difference, I've found that moving my foot from the gas works quite well in both.

Why are you playing their games then?
No, the point is to try to rationalize cargo-culting. Fermi did this, and Fermi was brilliant, so if we require candidates to do this we'll end up hiring people who are as brilliant as Fermi!

Here's a brainteaser: spot all the flaws in that chain of "reasoning".
I've set up a personal mail server using Debian + Exim + Dovecot (with sieve). It took a bit of time at the start, but besides the couple of hours it took to add DMARC a couple of years ago, and checking the backups are working, I never have to touch it. I give out a different address for each company, so dealing with spam is just blacklisting it (only happened an handful of times).
The Lost Decade
Formal verification arrived at hardware first, really. Because although sofware and hardware can in principal be equally complex, the economic cost of a bug in hardware causes as much as possible of the complexity to be punted into software. That leaves the problem of verifying hardware more tractable. I don't think it's yet done comprehensively but a greater fraction of forma verification is used on hardware than software.

Googled it. DDC1128ZKLT ADC costs 212€ a piece, but can sample at 6.25 kS/s what is way too low for this application. 8 fast 16 channel ADCs cost a fortune. They also require at least one FPGA with high pin count and these aren’t cheap either. My conclusion: decent ultrasound scanner can’t be cheap from bill of materials perspective alone.
> According to the employment website indeed.com, the average salary at Tesla ranges from approximately US$38k to US$147k. Not bad money really, but it means that even a top earner at Tesla would take 133,000 years to amass Musk’s fortune. So, either what he does is 133,000 times more important than what they do, or this is a massive confidence trick.

What someone EARNS is not the same thing as what they are WORTH. Elon Musk doesn't EARN 20Bn a year. He is WORTH 20Bn. Is it fair that he's worth 133,000 times what someone earns in a year? Probably not. Is it relevant to compare what Elon Musk is worth - primarily due to his work at Zip2, X.com and primarily denominated in Tesla stock which is highly variable, to the day to day pay of someone collecting a pay check from Tesla?

What is really bizarre about this article is it's totally economically illiterate. The reason Elon Musk is worth billions is because he owns a significant proportion of Tesla stock and Tesla stock is worth Billions. If you want to make a coherent point about that it's about how the value of assets have sky rocketed whilst the value of incomes have stayed flat.

Let me give you a concrete example:

Jeff Bezos runs Amazon, the second most valuable publicly traded company in the world. Jeff Bezos is worth $164.7 billion and according to Forbes is the richest man on earth.

Tim Cook runs Apple, the most valuable traded company in the world. Tim Cook is worth $750m.

The difference between these two people is that one of them had equity in the company from the start, and the other is paid a salary. They are both leaders.
Now try to convince other people that they should do what you say. Not gonna happen, there will always be people that are selfish. That's one of the reasons why communism failed, there were too many people which didn't care about others or were just plain parasitic. I heard one phrase which sums communism up perfectly "Whether you stand or lie, 2 thousands is due" which means you can go to work, do almost nothing and still earn because employment is guaranteed. Not everyone is caring like you or me. There are many assholes, I'm sure you've seen some in your life.
Memorable though ;)

The problem is that in their pursuit of profit they are creating slot machines with the actual game on the side. Then they are crippling the game so that you have to use the slot machine to have any sense of fun while playing the game.

Therefore there are two choices:

Either they get regulated as other slot machine makers around the world, including being taxed as both a slot machine maker and as a slot machine operator.

Or alternatively just make a video game and sell that and not have to deal with all the regulation.
