>Your standard Windows 10 options are Pro . . .

Oh how quaint. Do you have a Ryzen CPU? If so you're leaving performance on the table, because core complexes are internally implemented as NUMA nodes. Windows 10 Pro does not ship with a NUMA aware scheduler. If you want that you're looking at $300[1] for Windows 10 Pro for Workstations. -- Personally I would not consider Pro a "standard" option since it doesn't work w/ ~40%[2] of new CPUs sold.

It is an unpopular opinion, but they were given the mandate by all those cheering the internet restrictions in the GDPR. Whether you still like that law or not is unrelated to the mandate given. You should have drawn your battle lines there instead of being so dismissive of those warning about government intervention.
The Jim Fixx book "The Complete Book of Running" was a national best seller starting in 1977, then aerobics (studio exercise, a la Jane Fonda) hit, followed by Arthur Jones' Nautilus in 1986.

Free weights were considered "dangerous" for a long time. Frankly, most people who lifted back then were suspected of being homosexual.

If you take boomers as being born between 1946 and 1964, then the leading edge of the boomers were turning 30 about the time both Fixx's book and "Pumping Iron" hit the popular conscious. There is a lot more money in selling shoes to people than gym memberships, so saturation advertising is part of the 'why' as well.

It really doesn't matter if Firefox on iOS is just a skin around Safari if it integrates with the Firefox services and syncs bookmarks, history, etc. Right? Isn't that the value you're getting out of the mobile browser, not the rendering engine?
Thanks now I dont feel so bad :)
It's not about that. It's called　"Hacker News" for a reason. I don't mind having regular stories hitting HN sometimes, but there's nowadays a massive flux of NYT, and also NewYorker, TheAtlantic just to name a few, which were not there a few years back.
Funny, all that matters to me is that I can use the browser without signing in.

Chrome on the other hand, I discovered just yesterday, refuse to export bookmarks from android unless you sync. Yet another reason not to use chrome I guess.
Sure, they are not published illegally. IANAL but as I understand the process, is like this: the author submits to arXiv and either (a) gives arXiv a perpetual NON-EXCLUSIVE licence to distribute (which does not change the fact that the copyright is with the author) or (b) the author chooses a CC-BY licence. The author submits the article to Journal and after acceptance, may transfer the copyright to Journal. Is perfectly legal and it works like this for a significant part of the arXiv articles. See also here in the comments for cases when a revised version of the article from Journal is posted on arXiv. But now, with the new EU Copyright Directive, how will this delicate process interact with the dumb one-size-fits-all automatic filters which may detect (wrongly) that the article on arXiv infringes the copyright of the Journal. What if arXiv will receive a bombardment of requests from various Journals? What will they do? They are admirable but they don't have the surface to fight this ddossing from journals. Or maybe my concerns are void, I'd be very happy if this is the case.
That would be quite a contract that obligated them to ensure a customer was not also a customer of a particular insurance company.
This has been a feature of the pharmaceutical industry since the 90s. Ironically, pharmacy is one of the very few areas of healthcare where the dataset is fairly pristine - prescriptions are always entered into a computer, adjudicated electronically via a PBM (Pharmacy Benefits Manager) and eligibility and pricing is then transmitted back to the pharmacy. However, instead of this data being used for the benefit of the customer, it was used to essentially insert a middleman (the PBMs) into the path between the pharmacy and the insurer, and these grew to be large players over time.

The contracting process between pharmacy->PBM and PBM->insurer allows for significant margins to be made by super chains like Walgreens and CVS (and their associated and owned PBMs), and at the end of the day, the customer gets hosed (via their insurance, or via paying cash on predatory "cash pricing" schemes which are massively profitable to the pharmacy itself). Independent pharmacies, unless they are in a particularly great location or have some other specialty, are more or less toast on their prescription business, and instead rely on front of house revenue.

But even this is nothing when you dig into the hospital side of things, and some of the pricing programs that are available there. There are even specific drug pricing programs (like the 340B program) that are specifically designed to allow hospitals to save money on their pharmaceutical spend for certain classes of patients, but these programs can also be extended outwith the actual hospital's environment to the retail pharmacy.

None of the anecdotes I just shared are Medicare/Medicaid related (more or less), and much of it (like 340B) are bandaids designed to try to help disproportionate share hospitals that act as a safety net for care for uninsured or indigent populations around the USA.

My point is this - this is just the pharmacy side. The USA healthcare system is so complex, and involves so many layers, all of which are skimming profit in a nontransparent way, that it is no surprise that American healthcare is the most expensive in the world. Even diehard free market capitalists would be absolutely amazed if they truly knew what was happening under the hood, and whatever waste that exists in state run, single payer systems like the UK's NHS (or hell, even Medicare in the USA) pales in comparison to the profits being raked out of the system.
Launching a new app
most windows 10 users don't realize its even possible to use windows 10 without a microsoft account... and eventually, it probably won't be possible except for enterprise users.
I've used StrongLifts for 2+ years and second the recommendation.

HOWEVER.

Because it's just an app with videos, it's really up to you to learn proper form and execute it each time. Additionally, the app doesn't know your limitations, so take your pain seriously.

I hurt my knees squatting a couple years ago, and recently hurt my lower back deadlifting. It sucks, and I'm crossing my fingers that there's no permanent damage.

If I were to go back in time, I'd force myself to book yearly or twice-yearly sessions with a physical trainer who can check you on your form, particularly when I first got started.
I think I personally handle high volume well genetically, but I also haven’t been lifting as long and am probably moving a lot less weight than you are.

(For context, my squat max is 335, and my deadlift max is 405. Not bad, but nothing near competitive.)
Preventing this kind of workaround is already part of many gambling laws. They usually define the payment/stake/wager as a very generic term like "anything of value".

Ah, maybe I'm misunderstanding the concepts involved, but coins in FIFA are more directly convertible into the end result, more like buying a currency. With "coins" you can buy players directly in the game for a known value on a marketplace (you can also buy packs, but this could be disabled).

With the current system (where you buy "FIFA points") you can only use the FIFA points to open packs of "random" players, which is where the gambling element comes in.

This is clearly a tragedy for the woman and her family. Our thoughts are of course with them first.

reading the article I am wondering why it is news that it is an e-bike and not "just" a bike. This feels like a Telegraph style move for the Guardian, and an odd move (I would have thought ebikes were Gruniads thing)

It would be worth waiting for the coroners report to see if the e-bike made a difference (weight of batteries, collided with the motor instead of 150 lb of cyclist)

For some balance worth looking at figures for deaths by cycle and car - see below:

How's this for strange:

I once witnessed a situation where a relative of mine had insurance and the price of his prescription was $14.50 with insurance, but it just so happens the medication is also available over the counter and sells for $11.00.

This wasn't an "almost" match either. It was the exact same brand, exact same dosage, exact same quantity but in a slightly different box (due to store branding). It even said "prescription strength" right on the OTC box.

The really crazy thing is the original prescription the doctor wanted to prescribe was $600 for a 5 day supply of something that needed to be taken for 6 weeks but the insurance company denied it (meanwhile he pays $400 a month for basic insurance). Medical treatment is beyond broken in the US.
My advice on how to make your LinkedIn experience not suck:

1) Do not let LinkedIn scan your contacts, your calendar, your anything.

2) Do not accept connections from people you have not actually worked with in some capacity.

3) Turn off all emails.

4) Turn off all app alerts.

Turning off alerts is my superpower for making any digital communications channel bearable, really. IMO I should only get alerts for messages that are at the level of seriously affecting career, family, life and limb, etc.

In terms of hearing from recruiters... it says where I work right on my LinkedIn profile. If they can't be bothered to reach out to me at work, how badly do they actually want to recruit me? I'm not interested in being one of 2,000 people receiving keyword-driven mass recruiting spam.

To build connections, I accept requests from people I've worked with, even if it was one project a while ago. I occasionally browse the "people you may know" screen in the phone app to see if there is anyone I want to add as a connection.

You're adding an incentive other than "I want to improve this product because it makes $x easier" and end up with way too many "I don't know" answers. At least with vocal users (or better yet, tech support cases), you have some degree of passion. Sometimes the passion results in overstating certain problems, but that's still valid.

That's just a shitty pharmacy. Walgreens tried to do the same thing to me and that's why refuse to do any business there. The local chain I use now is pretty good about helping me find the cheapest option for prescriptions (sometimes there are rebates on branded drugs that make them cheaper than generics).

Also, Walmart has a decent list of $4 medications:

Apparently, the problem is that for a given SKU they'll mix up (on purpose) all marketplace vendors items, for items sold by third party but delivered from Amazon.

Let's say you're selling Tickets to Ride on Marketplace (counterfeit products are common for board games). You send 100 copies to Amazon, now customers can buy those from you.

I also sell Ticket to Ride on Marketplace! But I'm a cheap bastard so I send 100 counterfeit copies from China, with lower quality (off-centered chips, cheap prints, etc.)

Instead of sending your copies to your customers, and my copies to my customers, they'll dump all of our copies all together and send a random copy to each customer.

That means that any customer can receive counterfeit copies. You can't even trust a given vendor, or Amazon, because all the copies are mixed up.

Small startup here as well, but we target 95% Windows (going back all the way to XP) and we recently transitioned to a WSL Clang-based toolchain (linking against MSVCRT) so it would be feasible for someone to use a pure Linux environment for serious Windows development, although inconvenient because it is untestable.
How would price transparency work for emergencies that require hospital treatment? It's routine emergencies like appendicitis, psychiatric crises requiring a few days of inpatient treatment, even broken limbs. Those are the real cost-drivers, and if you've ever had a child or spouse with any of these you know that this isn't like picking a clinic for butt enlargement or LASIK.

I wonder how much of a contribution is made by 'having to work' in order to survive. I suspect that most people would happily never work again if that was an option, and if that is the case then most people are spending a large percentage of their time doing something they don't want to do. At that point, issues with mental health are no surprise.
The charts at the top are eye opening. More and more of our income is going to pay for pieces of land. Unlike computers, TVs, and even troublesome areas like healthcare the land is not getting better and better. It’s instead a purely zero sum game.

We probably can’t eliminate the scourge of land rents altogether but we can stop making the problem worse by putting in place more and more policies designed to raise housing prices rather than lower them. Such policies are exactly the opposite of what the government should strive for.

That’s a solvable problem, if anyone cared enough to solve it. Write a 3rd party browser (yes I realize that it would be a shell over WebKit) and allow the user to choose which app handles third party urls like mailto and maps links.

Chrome for iOS already does something similar but you only get to choose between gmail and the native mail client.
This is false. Hearthstone is a huge money pit and the items that drop in Hearthstone are not cosmetic, they are cards you use in the core game, just like Magic the Gathering but with no real money market.
One situation where I've deployed Vault, it was configured to issue the Vault credential using LDAP (Active Directory, in that case) in the "user needs a credential for a particular system" case. We didn't do fine-grained permissions for that, but it provided the audit trail we needed.

In the automated case, Hashicorp Nomad can issue tokens to individual applications. I was working on that but left the company before getting it into production. That does require trusting your Nomad infrastructure with long-term tokens, but that's still quite a bit better than, e.g., committing tokens into Git :)

For the record, I do agree that ISPs are monopolies (or oligopolies) in many parts of the US and other countries as well. However they are not the only form of monopoly, and I don't understand why you seem to be saying that the statement "Google is a monopoly" is implicitly saying "ISPs are not a monopoly". They're both monopolies, just different kinds -- the geographic argument doesn't make sense for websites for instance (outside of countries that massively censor the internet).

This is intriguing, but it kind of goes against the essence of running Dokku.

We run Dokku because it's absolutely dead simple. It's not the fastest nor is it particularly scalable, but it works. There will be a point where we can't scale with just Dokku, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
I can see how this can work in the US, but courts in Belgium (and Europe in general) do not stop at technicalities and they can absolutely consider it gambling without having to define the exact boundaries of gambling.

Well that's fine, I don't know who uses Dokku in production... I think it's granted that it is a solution for development.

My point is that for Windows users, for example, they might be using containers to do their development because the host environment is unsuitable for running Ruby in.

This is not a hypothetical situation. I work in a setting with mixed developers (some using Windows, some using Mac) and the Windows developers need a Virtual Machine or Container in order to run Ruby in. I use a Mac. If I gave them multi-stage containers which had jettisoned a stage and now had no C compilers, they would be stumped the first time they tried running 'bundle update'.

And running 'bundle update' is the (only) prescribed way to get new gem versions into your Gemfile.lock, so... back to where we started. Are you sure this is a strategy for Ruby devs using Dokku?

(edit: I am shocked to see the number of users who reported that Dokku was for use in production in their orgs here... https://github.com/dokku/dokku/issues/1878)

Because we can make more computers, execute more healthcare services, etc. Land is a zero sum game; we have a fixed amount, and while it's possible to create more, it's prohibitively expensive to do so.

Add to it, land is the primary method by which "old money" remains in that category.
