This is one area where they optimize, they use vaccines now when they are young instead of antibiotics in their food.

You are talking about dioxins, they use that in the food and they don't have limits like meat for it. They found that it's still pretty close to the limit of meat and if you don't eat it daily it shouldn't be able to accumulate.

They need some of those for the feeding process, but they know it's bad PR and try to find alternatives.

This is something that can be monitored and optimized for.

Btw they are fed mostly with soy and fish flour (salmon is a predator). It's very regulated, Salmon from Norway is a huge brand and they all would have issues that's why it's very regulated.
Lots of insurance plans in other industries have deductibles in other countries, and the US certainly isn't unique in this respect. For example, deductibles are the norm in health insurance plans in Switzerland, which has a system not all that different from that in the US.

That’s actually not true. (Full curriculum is here for those that are interested: https://learn.lambdaschool.com/syllabus/cs-fsw).

Before joining Lambda School you are required to do our pre-course work, which includes the basics of HTML, CSS and JavaScript. We then cover those topics again at a more advanced level once you begin the course, but a lot of time then is spent on making sure HTML is semantic, using preprocessors and mixins, responsive design, manipulating the DOM with vanilla JS, that kind of thing, so you understand what is happening under the hood. Then we dive into the “finer points” of JS for a while (ha), then React. So the front-end portion alone, including the precourse work, is longer than most code bootcamps. Then we get into backend in JS, then start writing “more advanced code” in Python.

By the time we’re writing C you’re already very comfortable with JS and pretty comfortable with Python, so we can ramp up the learning curve a bit. Bear in mind it’s all day every day with no context switching whatsoever; you’d be surprised what you can learn at that speed with people there on-demand to guide you and answer questions.

Hour for hour Lambda School’s full coursework is about 1500 hours; about 75% of the time you’d spend on the core track of a CS degree. Of course, our intentions are very different and much less theoretical/lower level. Our goal is for you to write great code at a great company, so we dive into theory where necessary and appropriate.

Of course, the most important part of Lambda School is that somewhere along the way you’ve learned how to learn. And when your new job says, “Alright our stack is Elixir and Phoenix” you don’t say “Um but I only know JS” you say, “Alright, link me to the docs.” There’s no way we could teach you everything you need to know and use, we really just give you the foundation that lets you continue to learn while being paid to do so.
I think these are wavelength based filters vice polarized filters (see below). However, if they are wavelength based you might have a hard time determining whether a stoplight is red or green (yellow would be OK), so I agree - probably not a good idea to drive with.

I am always impressed by what the ocaml/Haskell people can do compared to my language of choice (scheme).

Iirc Oleg Kiselyov implemented proper delimited continuations in ocaml as a library, without touching the runtime or compiler. Something similar has been done in Haskell.

I doubt fully dependent types can be implemented in Haskell without extra help by ghc. There has been lots of work in the area, and last time I checked you could simulate DT to some degree, but it never was as powerful as the dependant types in idris. Iirc t were some edge cases where the typing became undecidable.

Not really, since people would switch to other health insurance providers who have lower premiums. The problem was not forcing everyone into the same insurance market.

Letting all the healthy white collar office people stick with their employer chosen health insurance means the leftovers are the poor and unhealthy which many insurance companies can’t handle the losses from since there is no health population to balance it out, so you have places that have no health insurance competition.

Even then, the people that make the most money in healthcare are the providers (doctors) and by a significant multiple, so increasing their supply would be necessary to bringing costs down.

You know that shareholders can sue the company if they lie publicly? That is the reason why they usually keep silent or use weasel words.
Of course you can, I've posted things visible for only specific lists before.
It’s not overpriced if there is no monopoly. No one is stopping other providers from moving to Northern California and stealing business by offering lower prices. If people want to live in a place with great weather, outdoors, food, and career opportunities, then they have to compete for it because lots of other people do too, and hence they have to compete to purchase things like homes and service from healthcare providers.

> ...unless of course we needed a C-section, in which case it’ll be a casual $30,000.

In India, we got c-section done in a luxurious hospital in a suite ward for slightly over $1K. About 80% of that was covered by insurance. Even if it wasn't that kind of money is a typical middle class family in India can easily afford. Note that I'm talking about top of the line hospital so the median cost for a c-section is somewhere around $500.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm really blown away by that kind of cost difference. In a developed country shouldn't health be more affordable? No wonder medical tourism is on the rise in India.

Isn't the incentive here to choose the most buzzwordy and low-barrier-to-entry technologies, and spend just enough time/effort to get the students through an interview so the bootcamp can get paid?

Incentives are hard in this space. Not sure how for-profit companies who get paid by students can ever be exactly incentivized to focus on honest evaluation and strong fundamentals.

Maybe the FAANG companies should start/fund a bootcamp, but then you'd have to be selective, and you'd end up with something totally different... :/

> But unlike the prophecies of talking cartoon bears, all this money didn’t drive inflation through the roof and crash the stock market. It doesn’t seem to have really gone…anywhere.

This essay is obviously backed by a lot of thought, but this specific conclusion is a bit glib. Talking of things which are exponential, 2 trillion dollars is a few magnitudes bigger than 2 million dollars. That is more than the annual GDP of most countries.

The banks havn't lost that money under the couch cushions, they will be using it to their advantage. If it is to their best advantage to have it in excess reserves, that probably means something complicated is happening that is letting them make out like bandits.

If they aren't using it to influence the wider economy, we really need to ask what exactly they are doing with it. It is an extraordinary claim that it "doesn't seem to have gone anywhere", implying that somehow it isn't doing something.

IMF Issues Stark Warning Over Bitcoin and Crypto 'Rapid' Growth
There’s one simple feature I want. Any API that has access to any portion of an email’s content should have their icon prominently displayed near the header in the field similar to ‘Bcc’ indicating that they have been sent a copy.

A click on that icon should display a popup which explains who it is, a link to the privacy policy, date when the Integration was enabled, count of how many emails it has seen, and provides an option to disable the integration with a single click. It would be nice to have the ability to apply filters to limit which emails are shared with that provider in the future.

It’s too easy for users to add an Integration at one point and forget months or years later that it’s active. But also mentally when people add these add-ons it often doesn’t really click exactly that you are literally Bcc’ing the add-on every message you send.
The one thing missing from the example is a little more contextual help. Not only should it prompt you for the stage, it should say “use --stage [development|staging|production] on the command line to skip this prompt” or some such. (Could be as terse as the prompt reading “please specify --stage”.)

I dearly miss the concept of circles in Twitter, both in incoming direction (filtering by what kind of stuff you'd want to read right now) and more important in outgoing direction (so I don't offend my fragile dev-o-sphere snowflake followers with manosphere or alt-right retweets).

Requires 2 things:
- feature to classifying your followers into circles (unbeknownst to them)
- feature to select target circle for a tweet/retweet/like (or, more comfortable, classify people I follow into the same circle, and making retweets/likes per-circle).

AFAICT, gab.ai does not have anything like this, either.
ok, sorry, I missed it.

Wood went out of fashion because of urban fires, resource (natural forest) depletion and long term maintenance (rot, termites..) issues.

Modern engineered timber (according to proponents) solves these problems. It's engineered from renewable crops of fast growing timber, is resistant to fire and pests... Proponents claim it is now suitable for skyscrapers but certainly for 5-15 story urban residential buildings.

Imo.. what is missing are clear advantages, a reason to bother. I don't think there's much cost advantage at this point. Weight savings.. maybe there are some applications where this is important. Generally, it's a bit of a solution searching for a problem.

The Euro is basically a foreign currency, so Italy have lost any saying in its monetary and fiscal policies. Austerity in times of recession is craziness, but is the order that come from Brussels.

The new government in Italy is basically anti-euro. Those so called "populist" governments don't happen by accident but when the people is very unhappy with the economy.

As the Euro is, in essence, a foreign currency, there is really a risk that Italy and others could be in the situation where they can't finance themselves. That would be the end of the Euro.

In the year 2012 that almost happened. There was a public debt crisis that finished the (and this is not an exaggeration (1)) exact day that the ECB decided to finish it.

What the ECB is doing now (since 2012), is buying the public debt of Italy, Spain and others in the secondary markets (2).

They can't do it directly because is forbidden. This has to be done, because, otherwise will be the end of the Euro.

Interestingly, buying in the secondary market is also against the treaties (3) but they hide it in technicalities.

At the same time, this is used as leverage for dictating the economic policies of those countries from Brussels.

The result of those policies is what bring the "populist" to the government.

> A recent advance in wood technology should interest the neighborhood’s developers: Teng Li, a University of Maryland mechanical engineer, created with his colleagues wood that’s as “strong as steel, but six times lighter,” he said. Liangbing Hu, Li’s co-author on the study, added, “This kind of wood could be used in cars, airplanes, buildings—any application where steel is used.” Making it is just a two-step process. The scientists first boiled natural wood in a mixture of sodium hydroxide and sodium sulfite, to remove some of the lignin and hemicellulose, substances contained in the walls of wood cells (the former retard parasite and bacterial attacks, the latter cover and bind fibers). Then they put the wood in a hot press, which leads, as they say in the paper, “to the total collapse of cell walls and the complete densification of the natural wood with highly aligned cellulose nanofibres.” The result, they conclude, is a “low-cost, high-performance, lightweight alternative” to “most structural metals and alloys.”

If this decreases the burn rate, as other commenters have pointed out, and the input energy is manageable, then this has a chance. Cool!
> But unlike the prophecies of talking cartoon bears, all this money didn’t drive inflation through the roof and crash the stock market. It doesn’t seem to have really gone…anywhere.

It sure did drive inflation. It went into asset prices, which have been massively inflated by low interest rates.

Absurdly, the article is ranting about the rate at which real estate and rent are increasing, then pretending the inflation from printing all that money didn't go anywhere. From one paragraph to the next, somehow the author managed that disconnect. The Fed's zero interest rate policy, spurred the big recovery in housing prices (intentionally), and has enabled people to spend more on housing via artificially cheap mortgages than they otherwise could have, pushing prices up rapidly.
Facebook is the only other company that has meaningful market share in online ads - the stats are always something like "Google + Facebook have 90-something %". Had Google managed to build a product that replaced Facebook, maybe they'd have that 90+% to themselves.
At least without pretending that everything's OK. Report to user and abort process would be appropriate for many cases. Continuing work with half-written data without ever noticing it is not appropriate.

Good on them, but they’ve completely flubbed their absorption of Mandrill, and these days Mandrill suffers frequent production outages unbecoming of a serious email provider, and their support is abysmal. I guess part of building a big business is squeezing your customers to boost your margin.

I've thought about something similar. I think a 3-4 person consultancy could actually be run well as a co-op.

It's not ideal though. It would be better to have some sort of agricultural tangible export from the community I think.
That's incredibly embarrassing. Thank you for pointing it out! I wrote this post while going through a bad head cold, so I'm afraid I missed quite a few typos and errors of that sort. Hopefully that's the last one.

Due to gains in efficiency and scale, it’s more winner take all than ever before. Look at the public markets, it’s halved in the number of companies even listed on it, and of those listed there’s basically a handful capturing all the gains. The bigger companies will continue to gain pricing power so unless you’re in some regulated niche like doctors, expect to not be in control of your destiny if all you plan to do is work a job.
> There is also, alongside the environmental and economic, an aesthetic-psychological case for wood cities. Clare Farrow, who is co-curating a current London exhibit called “Timber Rising–Vertical Visions for the Cities of Tomorrow,” wrote in Dezeen, Studies are showing that the presence, scent and touch of wood can have remarkably positive effects, not only on people’s wellbeing in a general sense, but more specifically on stress levels, blood pressure, communication, learning and healing.” A 2015 review in Wood Science and Technology supports her claims and also suggests that “specific aspects of wood such as colour, quantity, and grain pattern should be examined"

Of course, I don't need a study to tell me that wood is nice.
