> The best you could say about HN is that it hosts a pro-China contingent and an anti-China contingent, each of which believes the site is biased towards the other. But the site itself and the userbase is too diverse to be accurately labeled one or the other.

I would argue that your pro-China camp does not exist. Those who criticize the US (myself included) are perfectly aware that China is not a role model.

We simply refuse to accept the view good (US) vs bad (China / Russia, depending on the weather). And we argue that the US has a much bigger footprint on geopolitics. both good and bad. And we criticize the bad parts, of which there are plenty.

It costs around the same in Europe if you don't have insurance. I'm pretty sure it's the same in the USA - this is the rate that would be charged to your insurance company. Rates are way lower for uninsured people if you ask them and tell them that you're not insured (I got a bill lowered 10 times when I broke my hand); and of course most people have some kind of insurance.

To the people downvoting: please read properly. If you move your place of residence outside your country, you're no longer insured, and that's what I'm talking about - I specifically said "if you don't have insurance".

As an organ recipient I'd like to express my sympathy on your loss as well as my gratitude towards your late wife and you. An organ donor has an immense impact on the lives of others.

I got a kidney from a deceased donor whose identity I will never know. Hence I will have no way of thanking the family of the donor and expressing what this means to me.

Please know that even though I got my transplant 4.5 years ago not a day goes by when I don't think about the family of my donor and feel deeply grateful. I also feel obliged to treat this gift of life with respect – ensuring that I take every step to keep healthy.

I live in Norway, but I have many friends from the US whom I have met through a huge Facebook group for people who are on dialysis, have received a transplant or have a loved one with kidney disease. Through this forum I've learned a lot about the challenges of having kidney disease in the US. About the long waiting lists, about how many never make it, and about the challenges of those who have received a transplant but now have to fight to keep their kidney due to haphazard health coverage.

I kinda enjoy working with React (because of JSX simplicity and composability). I think you could add easy support for some styling solution like it's done in Vue.

I would focus on making React stable, fast and lightweight but improve on tooling and ecosystem around it.

* I would like blessed way of extracting React components, so they can be reused between projects (like right click in IDE and share) - something like https://bitsrc.io/

* react addon for chrome could be much nicer (I have to dig through so many unnamed HoC sometimes).

* you could favor more beginner friendly state solution - something like https://github.com/solkimicreb/react-easy-state

* you could embrace typescript for easier usage experience

There could be some React plugin(kinda like http://demo.rekit.org/) for editors that would allow for:

* adding mock props to component and preview it on hover, click for example (kinda like styleguidist but with less setup overhead)
* abuse above to provide out of the box image snapshot testing
* simpler ability to add tests (like right click on component and "add assertion", "go to test")
* some structured way of making components
* swap between style, tests, data sources and logic
* run tests only for this component
* etc - basically more streamlined creation experience

Also please focus on debugging when introducing async rendering. (so there won't be errors out of nowhere in stack trace)

It's my understanding, that the reason why arcade boards were so much more powerful was because they were a lot more complex thus much more expensive to design, source components and produce in large scale.

More colors, background layers and sprites with slow CPUs and graphics chips in the 80s usually meant having several RAM chips to have multiple memory buses and parallel accesses to video memory and more video memory in KB.
That's why arcade boards were usually very large and with a lot more components when compared to home computers and home video game consoles.

Sprite scaling was added to Sega's 16-bit console with the Mega CD, it probably wasn't included with the original console so Sega could beat the competition and launch it at a competitive price in 1988 before Nintendo could launch its 16-bit console.

Isn't food quality constantly monitored by authorities, and isn't that where the real problem lies? I sometimes wonder if governments are more strict on performance enhancing drugs (doping in sports) and recreational drug use than on food additives.
> Sometimes I end up passing the help output through grep, then copy-pasting the flags from the output, and then hoping I got the right flag.

man x | grep -P y -C 3 | less

...is my standard here (-C 3 includes the pre- and succeeding 3 lines). For all the delights of CLIs, man pages are by default opaque walls of text. And dear lord the number of regex variants... - at this point, if at all possible, I'll avoid application-specific flavours entirely, and just pipe to grep -P (perl-style regex).

I might suggest, however, that image/video manipulation is a case for which CLIs are uniquely unsuitable.

There surely are better ways (as you mentioned, Powershell appears to be a step or three in the right direction, though I have little familiarity with it), but it seems as though the greatest difficulty is in maintaining full backwords compatibility, while still encouraging new applications to make full use of novel features - not to mention the effort of modifying old applications to fit new standards that would need be expended.
Pretty sure he is saying the opposite.
>But the EU did not cause the massive hole Greece dug for itself for years/decades.

I think that has several causes:

1) Greek politicians (and Greek elites complicit with them) consumed a lot of infrastructure money from EU in BS overpriced public works projects. That said, Greece infrastructure wise is a totally different country from Greece in 1980. But those infrastructure projects didn't and could't themselves generate money.

2) Greek economy was traditionally based on smaller production units (SMEs). When global outsourcing (and later China and co) became an option for everything of that kind, Greece competence in the area dropped to 0. The small business owners at the time didn't have the savvy to market their products as premium goods and justify higher margins (like e.g. Italy does at least for some things), neither did they have the brand name to assist them in moving production abroad (and continue selling). The quality+price points they competed at were no longer possible. Tons of such Greek industries died off in the 80s and 90s with no replacement.

(Add to the mix a bevy of EU policies that were in fact protecting interests of major EU nations (Germany, France, mostly), against competition from the South).

3) Even so, Greece had control over its debt, which was never a major part of GDP before 2001, using its monetary policy. The inflection point was the switch to the Euro, when suddenly a volatile economy was tied to a "strong" currency, with no room for corrections (imagine the US debt if the Fed couldn't print dollars and the world didn't accept dollars as a de facto exchange currency -- now imagine that with an much weaker economy to begin with).
Same in France. Standard care is free, extra can be taken care of by your private insurance.
Haha, what? Childbirth costs 0 € in a public hospital
Coming from the Erlang world (very similar to Go as described in the blog post) they're not used for raw speed (in the sense of utilizing more cores). The Erlang VM (or the Go runtime) uses them internally in that way, but for the programmer the benefit is somewhat different.

Processes or co-routines are often used more as concurrent objects. That is, they're used to separate data and concerns into separate, isolated memory areas. However, they're also sequential programs in their own right, so the system becomes much easier to reason about. If you have a few OS thread per core, you are responsible for distributing work among those threads, whereas if you have many co-routines per "job" you can let the runtime decide and schedule intelligently.

A concrete example is a web server. Implemented in Erlang or Go you would typically spawn a co-routine for each incoming connection. There you would get isolation and a simple implementation (parsing the request, performing the task, returning response and exiting). A crash or bug handling a specific request would not affect the other clients.

Other great use cases are messaging and communication apps (examples like Rabbit Q or Discord come to mind), concurrent databases, etc.
True, but in Python the coding mistake would stand out much more because the with block is syntax sugar - it does not look like regular function application, whereas in the Haskell example there is nothing to tell you that withMyResource is using the 'bracket pattern' (except by reading the src)

Also I guess in Haskell there is more expectation that the type system should prevent you from expressing runtime errors
But if I understand it correctly, for some unfathomable reason American health insurance policies usually have a deductible on them - so even if you are insured, you could still be paying few thousand dollars out of your pocket, no? That's insane.
Presumably they are paying below average tax rates for all definitions of average.
Health insurance will cover much of it, but more importantly Northern California is overpriced for medical procedures. Boston is $5,000 less and has equally good hospitals. And St. Louis is down at $6,000 and has really good hospitals as well.

I had a friend who got an appendectomy at Stanford that was paid for by Google (she was on business travel, works in the London office) and the price was obscene, far above what should ever be charged, literally 10x what other hospitals charge. That place is crazy.
Actually copy the text of the Economist article and replace the "China" with "Europe" and "Europe" with "Africa" or "East Europe" or similar and it will be funny.
That's precisely my point.

You can't talk about "our" European exterior policy and then, when the time arrive impose a bigger austerity, in part of the population of Europe, causing a bigger and longer crisis that the Great Depression.

Never mind Greece previous sins, that would never be done to a German land or a USA state, for instance

Ergo, there is not "we".

If something, Brussels, has show to be the antagonist to the Greeks (and not only the Greeks).
In the UK people's savings have been shrinking for the last 10 years.

Actually history has shown that they didn't.
Modern societies are supposed to be organised for the benefit of all in society (broadly speaking; obviously there are cases when different people have desires that cannot be reconciled). This is why the government usually sponsors education, for example. All of society benefits from an educated population and hence all of society contributes to the cost of that education. This seems to have been lost in the US (and, increasingly, the UK) and is, I think, the root cause of the problems. I believe the start of the problem was the rise of neo-liberalism, holding the market and competition above all else.
There's a reason for the saying: "The Rich get Richer and the Poor get Children". Perversely having children is a "luxury" many people simply cannot afford.

The happiness a "bundle of joy" should bring to the family is often replaced by additional stress of having to work a "better paying" (but often soul-destroying) job to be able to afford the bigger house, school/education, extra curricular activities like sports/music/ballet and eventually college tuition.

Conrad Bastable's well-researched post could easily have concluded that having kids "too early" will bankrupt a family.

The solution/answer is affordable housing. Housing is the single biggest "expense" for all people/families. Which is why it's the problem I want to tackle personally: https://github.com/dwyl/home

The fact that merely giving birth to a child in SF is $15k is mind-boggling. The "Government" needs to fix that or risk population decline catastrophe which will have many knock-on effects!

SF should follow the model from Finland where young parents/mothers are given cash incentives and all FREE healthcare: https://www.kela.fi/web/en/families
it would set you back around $3000

That's an average. The problem is the huge variance. Also just because you have heath insurance doesn't necessarily mean your insurance will pick up the tab.
And using multiple filters in one call is even more funny. Getting the output and parse it too, as it can be different in different versions and it's terribly inconsistent between filters.
One clearly hits a salary ceiling and starting from a certain timepoint one becomes only more vulnerable by switching the jobs. One has no means to push back rising prices other than picking something else but sooner or later the prices simply unify upwards.
..and many economist warned about it.
No. Prenatal care, childbirth and postnatal care are entirely free in Portugal and in most European countries I know of. In Portugal it's both free and either best or second best in world ranking.
Well, if you take away all the mortality causes of the time you'll end up thinking things were pretty good back then, since people weren't dying in car crashes.
So is that the normal case? The median birth results in the parents paying $3000? That still seems absurd.

Do most people just decide to do it at home and take the risk?

LOL, no. Denmark used 67.5TWh gasoline and diesel fuel last year, due to better efficiency of the electric drivetrain it's equivalent to roughly 20TWh of electricity. Denmark also used 46TWh electricity last year, so they would need to increase their production by 43.5%. It's quite high actually, for Germany the same figure is just 31% (190TWh and 610TWh).
All data can be found here https://www.statbank.dk/ENE2HA.
You would think that and here we are.
In Denmark it costs 0, also since we're raising the next generation of payers into the tax system we get paid money quarterly (about $700 [guesstimate] for the first couple years decreasing over time, our 9 year old gets a governmental stipend of $200 per quarter [another guesstimate])

I guess what I'm trying to say as someone who lived a lot of years in the U.S - why the hell they gotta screw you so hard there?

on edit: of course I should also specify that Denmark is pretty capitalistic, so you pay for your kindergarten once you enroll the kids in there and that will cost more per month then you are getting in stipend.
Lambda School imho is one of the most interesting companies at the moment.

Many many have tried to tackle the challenges of education & its dynamics & how long-term all of it is and how short-term the typical strategic horizons and business models are.

Super excited about their journey ahead. This is one of these efforts that in this moment already have massive impact and down the road their impact can be difficult to even grasp and imagine when you think of it.
--help is fine, but almost never a substitute for a full man page, except for the most trivial of applications (unless your --help is as complete as a man page, in which case... good on you for providing full documentation, but I'll hate you a bit every time I unthinkingly drop two hundred lines of text in my terminal.)
You can just have a "quiet" mode for scripting. Or even better, detect if you're connected to a TTY.
That's not the root cause. It shouldn't be the case that you need such a massive loan for education or housing. The government has failed if it cannot control the cost of these basic items.
For any given US government, we’re basically always voting for people that we don’t trust very far, except to be marginally less of an asshole than the person we didn’t vote for.

The spying on citizens part is pretty entrenched, I don’t see any candidate running on a platform of not doing that.
That's absolutely not true. If it is, name an EU country where that is the case. If you are a citizen of an EU country, you are entitled to use the healthcare system in that country(and any other EU state), purely by virtue of being a citizen.

The only case that would maybe trigger a payment would be if you were a visitor to EU and had a baby - but most likely no hospital would bill you as hospitals are just not equipped for billing, they don't have the staff or the equipment to do such weird things as issue bills for treatment to people. I know at least several non-EU people who had treatment in EU and no one ever asked them for any insurance info to bill them, unless it's something major and very very expensive there's just no point, it would most likely cost the hospital more to figure out how much and how to bill you in the first place.
Just look how much gasoline and diesel was sold. Anything else will give you tremendously wrong result.
