Amazon has tipped to bad -- all these dumb services like Pantry box, Fresh now, etc, all offered outside of the now $130 premium for Prime.

I'm going to call in a few days to cancel my Prime. Amazon as a whole is just not worth investing in anymore as a customer.

I will also move off all my photos from Amazon photos and onto my own manual drives until better cloud solutions come out (not goog).

Subsidized by Automattic, the creators of Wordpress.com and the (large, 790+ employee) company that is main commercial sponsor of Wordpress open source project. https://automattic.com/

The iOS, Android, and Electron/desktop app is open source, but the server-side environment is proprietary to Automattic. But, the app supports simple zip export of all your notes, which is nothing more than a directory full of plain text files and a JSON file representing the (optional) revision history. I believe the Automattic team operates the service for free because they use it as a testing ground for development frameworks that then cross over to Wordpress.com and other projects.
Ironic that liberal states such as California and Washington fight the hardest for states rights and are then criticized by conservatives(even in their own states!) for doing so.

Keep in mind that 25-30% of current medical spending goes to administrative overhead, much of which is billing related. If that was eliminated or severely simplified, that would mean significantly more money for a given amount billed.

It's extremely bloated in other ways too. This isn't a streamlined system with nothing to cut. So I think it's a bit premature to say Medicare pricing is only possible because they're allowed to gouge others, there are many other levers.

I've been researching a design recently and have faced the temptation freshly, so perhaps it'd be useful to share.

Having investigated every 2D and 3D engine for the web (it's a nice UI, not a game), it seems none of the existing options scratch my itch: SVG and its huge complex object graph grind to a halt burning CPU after your first few thousand nodes, while game engines that can often cope with huge entity counts just continually burn CPU and apparently have no concept of 'idle'.

So the itch is there: just a little <canvas>, a few wrapper objects, and I'm sure I'll be done in no time. Just gotta reimplement D3's TopoJSON renderer, that's all.

Of course it's a lie, but at this stage I'm old enough to realize that :) I think the only way many people (just like me) in IT learn this is the hard way: be getting burnt too many times.

I don't suppose you read my comment since its entirety was about how there is no such thing as "Marx's original vision". If there is no political vision, there cannot be "Marxism that achieved real political power" so your argument is categorically wrong. I challenge you to give me examples of Marx's original vision; from what I understand Marx made himself pretty clear that communism is not an ideology and thus there cannot be a "vision" of it, the action of communists would be different depending on material conditions they live in. You can talk about personal vision of Communist revolutionaries (e.g. Lenin) but I already wrote an excessively long paragraph about why this is not relevant to Marxism.

Edit: I would argue to the contrary, that there is a appreciable difference in average IQ between some countries which expresses itself among other things in GDP and quality of life. Perhaps the nature of this difference is based on things like nutrition, environment quality, pre-natal screening and care, so improvements in all these things will decrease the gap. If it happens that after all of that there is still a certain gap , who cares? As long as the citizens live in peace and relative prosperity.

> Take a look at companies whose target customers are all women. Are you surprised to see a man on their board?

Are you surprised if they don't? Should they be required to?
In an idealized world it should. In reality, people aren't all equal. The circumstances of birth, genetics, society, societal memory and much more contribute to a world that left alone is inherently unfair. I'm for putting a finger on the scales a little bit to even out the inequalities. Not completely! But to look after the worst off, to right past wrongs (and we've made many mistakes getting here) and to push for a world where each individual is able to rise to the level of their competence and positive qualities by looking after their shortcomings. To create a meritocratic system in spite of the inherent inequalities.

So we're clear, I'm in favor or wealth inequality, and income inequality, but only coupled with social mobility. I'm in favor of having wealth as a reward for your contributions. And for a 90% estate tax to make sure each generation starts off without major advantages. I'm for socialized medicine so the circumstances of your birth or random chance don't stop you from achieving your potential. I'm for creating a world where nobody feels they can't achieve some level of success because of societal norms and if that means temporarily creating 'mandatory' role models, that's fine too.

If the world were inherently fair, wouldn't you already expect corporate boards to represent the rest of the society at large? And yet they don't so someone or somethings' finger must already be on the scales. Unless of course you're telling me only old white men are capable of being board members, that is. So in the interest of fairness, we should push back. A little. See what happens. Then act accordingly.

See how this would fit with my worldview?

I have friends who are incredibly right-wing and absolutely disagree with me, often, and I very much enjoy engaging them in conversation. I don't think they're wrong, I just disagree.

I don't think you're sexist for disagreeing with this law. I agree with it. I have my rationalizations and justifications, and I'm interested in hearing yours, and as always, in debating.

California has been especially committed to challenging some of the administration's various injustices. Trump has made California one of his symbolic, non-white boogeymen in order to manipulate his "base."

I never said it would be easy politically. Healthcare is a morass with a huge number of entrenched and entangled interests. And the dark side of reducing its absurd costs is that much of the reason for the high price is a bunch of pretty unnecessary high paying jobs involved that largely exist to deal with the system's complexity. And while most people can cheer for lower healthcare cost, they might have a harder time cheering for putting all the people out of work.

Worse, it's an industry that employs lots of people in every locality. So it's politically very difficult to tackle.

I don't think this would be that terrible for Medicare patients, though. Doctors who were fully covered by Medicare would make it known far and wide, and those who didn't but have large numbers of Medicare patients would see large drops in their patient load.

> Like California’s auto emissions laws that forced automakers to adopt the standards for all production, the state’s new net neutrality rules could push broadband providers to apply the same rules to other states.

I think you're right, the motives are very similar.

> Attorney General Jeff Sessions said that California’s net neutrality law was illegal because Congress granted the federal government, through the F.C.C., the sole authority to create rules for broadband internet providers. “States do not regulate interstate commerce — the federal government does,” Mr. Sessions said in a statement.

I thought Republicans were pro-states rights and limited government? How does their position on this jive with their ideology?
Hmm that's surprisingly within reach. I bet you could crowd-source that kind of verification with BOINC.
> My understanding is that this idea would imply paid mandatory leave. It would be bad for the individuals if it was mandatory unpaid leave.

That was understood in my post. Long periods of paid leave inhibits earnings growth and leaves you vulnerable to replacement regardless of gender.

This is what was meant by "Fixing the pay gap between never-married women and mothers will solve the gender pay gap as a corollary."

> Women are being treated differently here because when a man and woman decide to have a child, the woman is guaranteed to have to take leave.

Yes there is a guaranteed recovery period. And, yes, depending on how long you are absent this leave will effect earnings. But...

> men don't get the same treatment despite being fathers

Men who take long paternity leave suffer the same income stagnation as women.

"Still, most men can’t afford to take more than a few days off after the birth of a new child. Especially because parental leave can depress long-term earnings [...] regardless of gender."[1]

Compelling paternity leave does not increase the earnings of mothers. It decreases the earnings of fathers. Which may very well shrink the gender wage gap but it makes families poorer and less able to provide for themselves and their children.

To be trite, you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.

> I view this more as spreading the burden

This, I believe, is our fundamental disagreement. You think a burden is being spread more thinly whereas I think you've created additional burdens. In my opinion, and I believe the data backs me up, this strategy reduces fathers and does nothing to help mothers (economically).

Not nethack, I was talking about a hypothetical clone of nethack where you can supposedly make a whole run without "surprises" that can randomly kill you, like floating eyes (or Jelly monsters in brogue). I think such a game would be very enjoyable first few times you play, but then since not challenging would be boring. Entirely different genre but Universal Paperclip might be a good example, extremely interesting story but the game is almost too easy after you learn to reliably win it. I think nethack is "boredom proof" because it's so challenging. I must be honest, I never finished brogue nor nethack (but I suck at video games because I play them once a year or so) but every game still gives the same rush of enjoyment every time. Still, though I don't keep playing it because the "demotivation" thing I was talking about earlier stops me from starting a new game (I'll lose anyway).

I'd add that sampling is still very useful in contexts when the partition function is known or efficient to calculate.

What's generally interesting is the general character of the posterior -- its modes, the shape of variance around these modes etc. High-quality sampling helps with this, whereas being about to calculate the PDF exactly at particular points sometimes does not.
> FCC Chairman Ajit Pai, who led the effort to reverse net neutrality, said in a statement on Sunday that “not only is California’s internet regulation law illegal, it also hurts consumers.

Is he really trying to play both sides of the same argument?
Yes, there are likely multiple factors here, both physical and learned behaviors. I've had some access to cutting edge treatments since I live in Boston, which is probably the #1 place in the world for psychiatry research. Over the years I've cobbled together a regimen that sort of works, but it's basically a band-aid solution and I can tell that it's not 100% effective.

Nowadays I feel normal ish about 15% of the time, meh about 50%, and somewhat depressed 35%. I've tried multiple medications from pretty much every category of medications, including many off-label treatments.
Paradoxical how this so call "largest protected class" makes up the majority of the population, majority of college graduates, majority of purchasing decisions, etc - and yet it needs "protection" and laws to force equality of outcomes.

Maybe? It needs to do reporting well though. Also, it needs to do schedules well.

PagerDuty sucks for reporting. If you want to track how long each person worked on incidents, how many times they were paged out, how many days in a month they were on call, they don't make it so easy.

Schedules are odd, you can over-ride one person, but sometimes, when the system is just not working, you need to add 2-3 people into the "rotation" however, you can'st just say, add them for the weekend, you have to add them into the rotation as an escalation/default, then remember to delete.

I'm not even sure if these two ideas can differentiate you. Maybe others have problems with PD that I haven't noticed.

There’s an illness called PANDAS in children that is very much like that, a key symptom is the OCD. The Cunningham panel test is used for diagnosis and can also be used by adults although there are no established diagnosis from this in adults. The test costs about $900. Treatment in children requires a smart doctor who is aware of the illness and who will get IVIG and/or plasmapheresis for the child. Both are incredibly expensive treatments.

There are also a number of very expensive autoimmune panels from Quest and Mayo Clinic for neurological stuff which can be worth running through, but only do these if your insurance will cover them, they’re up to 10k each, and the results aren’t necessarily going to help you in any way.

Diseases such as Lyme and mononucleosis are also known to cause a number of different autoimmune problems. Unfortunately doctors aren’t very good at recognizing this and it can take a long stressful odyssey to get properly diagnoses.

For some types of autoimmune illness there are some options such as Low Dose Naltrexone which work well for some people, but not others. In cases like Lyme, properly treating the illness and clearing the Lyme can eventually lead to the autoimmunity going away also.

(Note: in your case LDN has a big warning that in some people it can cause depression, I tried LDN and the depression it triggered was no joke, but it came on fairly shortly after starting and passed after stopping thankfully, and when I tried it again the same happened so it was clear what was happening. I just say this so if you do try it you are very aware and monitor yourself.)

1) They're a narcissistic psychopath acting like they own the place and lying their way out of trouble

2) One is a CI and act like they own the place

3) One is undercover and similarly act like they own the place

Touching with the mouth, eyes, and/or nostrils with your contaminated hand is substantial source of respiratory virus infections.

People touch their face an average of 3 - 4 times per hour, and common objects an average of 3 times per hour. In some kind of sitting office work it can be 10-15 times per hour.
