I do believe that most medical professionals are well-meaning, especially when people choose to trust them with their health. I do not question their empathy and selflessness.

But my comment is directed at the belief that a medical professional always knows best. The doctor that actually interfaces with the patient is equipped with tools and techniques that originate from other divisions of expertise that develop pharmaceuticals, testing equipment, or coordinate large-scale case-studies.

These numerous cohorts that sift through the data (and are now faced with ever-increasing administrative costs) seem disconnected with recurring patterns in the life of a citizen that end up causing these brain anomalies.

Again, they are chasing down the effect, not the cause.
All of these self-styled platforms have already taken editorial actions under the guise of enforcing their TOS, it’s called moderation. Unless what you’re sending is illegal, the post office doesn’t get to pick and choose what it sends; Twitter, Facebook, Google and the rest do. If you want to send porn through the USPS, you can, but try that with FB.

The “platform” excuse is dead on the first real legal challenge. It’s past time for these publishers to be held to the standards other publishers have been held to for decades or longer. They can’t cry “free speech” on one hand while acting like publishers on the other. When it was just galling hypocrisy fair enough, but they’re big enough and have supplanted enough “traditional media” that their time has come.
A bit off topic, but I lived in Kansas City for a couple years. I heard gunshots almost every night. There were shootings, stabbings on an almost monthly basis down in Westport. The library branch my wife worked at had a bullet go through the window while she was working there. I saw a dead body on 71 south headed down to my Cerner office as a result of a roving gun battle on the highway. Not to mention the weather.

While the issues may have been hidden from a lot of people living and working outside of KC proper and shielded from the eastside...KC has an insane amount of problems esp wrt gun violence and segregation. Now I have never had the chance to live in San Fransisco, but I would've jumped at the chance to leave KC for SF...and I'm the kind of person who would always choose to deal with midtown KC's issues than to move to the 'burbs.

Edit: A cursory search to try and back up what I am getting at: https://bismarcktribune.com/news/national/the-cities-with-th...

Comically enough, Kansas City shows up on this list twice due to the state boundary. Anyway - most of these cities are back east. I would take being harassed by a couple hobos, tents, and the occasional human turd over sky-high homicide rates any day - though from what I gather Oakland compares to midwestern cities in this regard.
> $70k in Atlanta is not close to $235k in San Francisco (both typical new grad starting salaries)

Say what? Not even Google starts people at a 235K salary. Total comp package sure (so starting bonus, bonus, RSU grants). In the last year or so, the new grads I'm friends with are averaging around ~150K a year starting base salary from the big companies in the bay.
I also have a sibling like that. But there's no ifs or buts, when the situation gets worse, off to the institution you go until you get back to normal. At first, you cry and sob, it's hard seeing them strapped to a bed. But tough love is the best love, when everything else fails. Now he is on injections and there is no more horsing around about taking or not taking pills.

> What is Oracle's rationale for the new licensing terms ?

- they speed up development, by effectively offloading legacy support to others.

- they increase immediate licensing revenues, since many businesses will pay up to stay on "Oracle-supported Java" for production deployments, at least for a while.

- they provide yet another incentive to leave behind all this "old world of installers" and embrace their underwhelming cloud offerings, where you don't have to worry about any license headache (and you can be milked more effectively).

From their point of view, what is there not to like?

Black pepper definitely has a taste, like I can taste it on food and I add more when it's needed. Try tasting a steak and then add some pepper and see if you can't literally taste it, or even try it with bread or rice or anything really. Or have I just gone mad?
I’ve been using the encrypted git feature to backup dot files and other bits of system config.

Harassment is not illegal. I believe the parent’s point is that a utility seevice can’t disconnect you because of vague allegations of legal behaviour such as “harassment”.
there are a couple definitions you would need to elaborate on to realise this question fully

by particle physicists usually mean any electromagnetic phenomena that seems to have distinct energy levels and so can refer to any number of things depending on context: photons, electrons, protons, atoms(o)

as for interact, what do you mean by this? would you consider entanglement an 'interaction'? the idea of a wavefunction is basically that every particle is 'interacting' with every other particle in existence in every direction with potential of collisions being discernible by the probabilities of the particle's position being spread out ad inifinitum

according to relativity light has a constant speed, meaning it is always moving at 'c'

since the photon is moving it has energy and though it has a 'rest' mass of 0 it is without a rest frame because it is always moving at that constant speed and so always has some measurable mass

because of this even in a universe with only a single photon without anything to interact with the photon would still affect spacetime

if you remove the 'only' from your question then the answer is an emphatic yes because you yourself are a collection of 'particles' 'interacting' and you are affecting spacetime

Why does WebAssembly need its own standard library? No one is going to be writing code directly in it, any more than they would write Java bytecode by hand.

I think this is my favorite quote for discussions that start out like yours:

Maybe I'm foolish, but I have this hope that a shift from the "make money off of mining your data" business model to something else, perhaps like crypto/tokens enable, might just enable the convenience you speak of, without forcing me to sell my information because everyone else didn't care to value their data.

The EM spectrum is a natural and effectively finite resource. Regulation was there to enforce standards and to build a market.

Hopefully, constellations of satellites providing Internet can take over almost entirely, so public property in the forms of bandwidth and orbits can justify such regulation. I say hopefully, because the current big tech culture has shown that it lacks the ethics to create level playing fields and curb its own biases.

Ideologically biased actors in YouTube are basically engaging in ideological manipulation of the market within its walled garden.

Projects like these are extremely interesting to me because they offer the possibility of a completely architecture-neutral userspace that can be used across multiple devices without recompilation.

It makes one wonder what would have happened if the Micro/370 had gone forward and the architecture-neutral userspace had evolved in the PC space.

I can't even write a function accepting a string because there is no notion of string. Every piece of WASM written carries the runtime of the source language making sharing code much more difficult and bloating binaries with duplicate logic.

It doesn't need one stdlib as part of the WASM project, but sooner or later people are going to want to share, e.g. a socket. Even without a full blown stdlib, known data types need to be shared beyond just the structs that are coming with the GC proposal.

Silver lining makes more sense IMO.
I second that. Maybe the interface isn't very Pythonic, but it's very Qt-ic, if that's a word. The behavior of PyQt hews closely to the behavior described in Qt's excellent C++ documentation. Furthermore, PyQt lets you do things that you may take for granted, like connecting signals to Python functions and subclassing Qt Widgets. And not only can you subclass a Qt Widget, you can override its methods. Also, you can send a Python str to any method that accepts a QString. I could go on and on about how the boring stuff stays pleasantly boring.

Having used much worse Python bindings for other C++ libraries, the degree to which PyQt just works without blowing up in your face is itself pretty astonishing. Add to that the maturity and depth of the Qt Widget library, and the result is a real pleasure to use.

The word userscript makes me think that it injects js onto the page? If that's the case, couldn't existing js hijack that? Sounds unsafe.
6-axis as in not just directional, but positional. You can both be looking towards or away from a source, as well as looking forward but moving your listening position in such a way that the source is either on the left or right side of listener.

The right way POLITICALLY to interpret recent claims of "bias" against Google is as a preparation of the battlefield for successful anti-trust action down the road. i.e., it's just "politics".

...but then again, the Google Doodle I see today is: "register to vote!"

That's clearly an attempt to put a thumb on the scales, against a party and administration that is threatening anti-trust action against Google.

I'm already voting the way Google wants me to, but a shovel is a shovel.

Yes it does matter. Tremendously.

For example is this soldiers initiative or part of a general tactics encouraged by the higher command?

Was the execution justified (i.e. motivated, that is, it was not a cover up or a random killing)?

I can come up with few reasons to kill the woman but why the child? Is there some message behind this killing?

Naturally these questions do not matter for despising such behaviour but are important to help to understand the human nature.
Did the BBC's analysis cause the Cameroon government to come clean and start proceedings against the soldiers or was that coincidental?

Note that access to reproductive care continues to be impeded on in places like Utah and Texas - see the recent filibuster in Texas by Wendy Davis, for instance, or Utah's "abstinence-only" school curriculum. It is not usually middle class families hurt by policies like these (e.g. Utah's laws assume the parents will deal with sex ed, and by and large, middle class families do just that).

Instead, abortion/birth control restrictions and/or poor sex ed hurt lower educated, lower income families. Single moms (whose husbands are in prison) have no time to ensure each of their kids gets proper attention, have no control over the next pregnancy because lack of education/PTO to drive to the next state for abortion, new child is born, cycle continues and unintended pregnancy rate for people below poverty line increases.

> hoping to read a compiled list of obscure inconveniences that have prevented you from using alternative browsers.

I've tried all of the previous lightweight vim-like incarnations of the webkit2-lib based browsers. Not being much of a browser customisations person beyond adblocking my issues were solely with the inadiquate browser engine "webkit2" which was ultimately abandoned, it was always slow to be updated, increadibly slow and insecure.

This is why I thought qutebrowser was worth a post on HN, because it's the first of these lightweight keyboard driven type browsers that I have found with a completely useable modern up-to-date engine behind it (QTWebEngine[1]):

Relationship to Chromium

Qt WebEngine uses code from the Chromium project. However, it is not containing
all of Chrome/Chromium:

- Binary files are stripped out
- Auxiliary services that talk to Google platforms are stripped out
- The codebase is modularized to allow use of system libraries like OpenSSL

We do update to the latest Chromium version in use before a Qt release. After a
release some bug fixes and security patches are backported. For LTS releases of
Qt we might also update Chromium in a patch level release.

This is why it basically feels like using chrome, because it's essentially the same core engine.

I've not used qutebrowser extensively enough yet to comment much on the front-end, but the most important part is there, the nice engine without any nasty privacy violating services built in. But my first impressions with the front end are pretty good, and i'm not even a vim user.

I'm one of those people who can't use Firefox thanks to the frequent crashing. It happens for me at least once a day, particularly when I have the same site open in multiple tabs. I get a yellow bar saying a script is slowing down this website, and ALL the tabs lock up thanks to it. If you're lucky enough to kill all the impacted tabs (you're rarely that lucky, it's that unresponsive) your browsing experience from then on will be bad, and the whole browser will need restarting.

I haven't seen a Chrome crash in years, yet the Firefox ones are very frequent. Not that I want to switch, I might be the only one here who is happy with Chromium on all my PCs!
I used to work in road construction, traffic control. I was paired with a man twice my age that had spent the majority of his life in OTR trucking. He told me stories of all the uppers and downers he took, in order to allow for the lifestyle of "racking up as many miles as I can."

He would smoke through a pack every night. Needless to say, his base-line health was compromised because of these habits.

One night he tells me the doctor has discovered a tumor on his lung. He continued to smoke at the same rate, against my (and I'm sure his doctors) advice.

At some point he started chemo, and still came to work. Looked like a dead man walking. I'm no medical expert, but it seems to me that chemotherapy irritates the wound.

Fast forward a couple months after I had quit that job, I hear that he has died of lung cancer. But I also here that his wife had resorted to putting donation jars at cash registers at nearby gas stations, in order to keep funding this "treatment".

So this man died of a habit he refused to give up, but not before trusting the doctor(s) involved and draining the resources his family would have after he was gone.

I know this is not a story of mental illness, which seems to be a more elusive affliction that something like cancer that directly affects the bodies hardware.

The theme of my input on this empathy matter is not directed at the disposition of the doctor, but rather the assumption of the patient that the doctor always knows best.

It is more of a trust issue, now that administrative costs make up 30% of healthcare cash flow.

> Get back to us the first time you have a medical emergency putting you on the hook for 5 or 6 figures (after insurance)

Is that a thing? Obviously there are lots of people in the USA who don't have any good health insurance options. But as an engineer in San Francisco all the companies I've worked at or interviewed with have had gold-plated health insurance plans with maximum out-of-pocket expenses in the low 4 figures. And of course, most people won't hit those maximums most years, that's just an upper bound.

This is of course limited to my personal experience, but my impression is that good health insurance is table stakes for highly-paid engineering roles.
