The context for this post is that money is money and money is currently cheap. VCs work hard to create the perception that their money is more valuable than investor's money.

Looks like the discussion has been derailed and the thread buried. You might want to take the word struggle out just for the sake of avoiding this again. For what it’s worth I think you make a valid point, frankly people need to know when to quit and what’s a healthy level of investment.

Valid remark. Many people have been way too pampered and gave up very easily -- in my (apparently very negative) bubble. So building resistance to plain adversity (which might be so plain as to kill you sometimes, hehe) and recognizing when something is just not working is extremely important.

In the end, there is no universal advice.
Saudi Arabia is a counter example to your point: Iran has a considerable amount of oil but because of unrelated geopolitical circumstances, it can't easily sell that to the global market like KSA can. That imbalance has little to do the nature of oil and a lot to do with the KSA-United States' petrodollar and arms deals. The geopolitics of the world put KSA in a position to capitalize on its oil wealth and trade it for influence, not the nature of the product.

Currency may be fungible but the quality of investments an LP has access to are not. The hope is that closing off the best avenues for return in an oversaturated capital market will cause rich people with influence to put pressure on the governments.

> He was Saudi

To be clear, I wasn't talking about his legal status. I'm talking about how the conception of him in the minds of many Americans: A journalist for the Washington Post is an American journalist, to a great degree, in many Americans minds. If he worked for the Jerusalem Post or a prominent Saudi news organization, IMHO Americans would have much less interest. Many Al Jazeera journalists have experienced pretty bad treatment, but I doubt most people know.

The rest of the parent comment is a made-up situation.
I forgot to never discuss things that require experiences on HN. A "special economic zone" or "special administrative area" is what is being suggested. Which is ridiculous because that is exactly what people moving to Canada are not choosing. What most people want is the inertia provided by Canadian society. That inertia is also what stops Canada from creating such projects. The Vancouver housing market isn't going to crash without hurting the Canadian economy and as long as you are a citizen you can ride it out. If you are in "district 2" not so much.
The article talks about wkhtmltopdf; in fact, they developed their server in response to its limitations:

The wkhtmltopdf utility has been around awhile and works great when you get it working correctly on your platform. However, the newest version as of this writing 0.12.5 has a bug prevening TOC generation on some platforms. Some Linux platforms require the installation of Microsoft font packs, and compiling from source leads you down a rabbit hole of dependency hell.
The only way to describe this is as an unfortunate inevitability of review systems as a whole.
I don't recall seeing normalized data like this on a bar chart before. It's standard for line charts where the x-axis is sampled from continuous data, not bar charts. The 1.0 value is effectively the zero point, so bars should extend up and down from 1.0 (in this case only up because no performance got worse).
> Free market food production will end up industrially produced, because that's how you minimize costs and maximize profits

Post-war Americans prioritised price. So the market made industrial food. (There was also the influence of World War II’s military-oriented factories pivoting to peacetime production.) The situation is not the same today.

There is demand for non-industrially produced food among those who can afford it. For those who can’t, I find it morally disturbing that those of us who can afford it want to tell them what they can and cannot buy. If a low-income person decides to spend their food voucher on industrially-produced cheese so they can use the surplus on fruits and vegetables (or pizzas), that’s their choice.

In any case, if the goal is less industrially-produced cheese, our subsidy regime accomplished that inefficiently.

Yes, that is food for thought. Although the Amazon situation doesn't fit the fake-yelp-reviews-about-a-hotel scenario because one's Amazon competitors are nearly infinite and constantly changing, whereas there are only a geographically limited number of restaurant or hotel competitors to pillory.

> Again GPL doesn't magically make people contribute back,

That's my understanding, as well, but that was never asserted, only "play nice", (re-)"release under the GPL", and "gets to live as long as people value it" as you were able to quote upthread.

This seems like contributing forward, not back, or downstream, not upstream.

The eventual effect, for publically-released software, usually ends up being an upstream contribution, but that's not automatic.

I'm not an advocating any particular license, but it does seem like you're responding to a strawman that nobody in this subthread (GPL advocate or not) has argued.
Seems like there should be some parallel education system, which would work like this:

It would be completely voluntary for the student. The student would come and say what topic they are interested in. The teacher would give an exam/interview, to find out what the student already knows (and what they believe they know, but actually misunderstand). Then the teacher would recommend books to study, most of which would be available in the local library. (Also online resources.) The student would read the books at home, or perhaps in a local quiet place. Then another exam/interview, and another book recommendation. Optionally, group debates, where multiple students could discuss the same topic with each other.
I hope you find this useful. Plz send me a picture when you cook it
And yet STD rates are skyrocketing in the US. I take Truvada but it’s used as an excuse in the gay commmunity to engage in unprotected sex. If anything the availability of Truvada is probably a leading cause of why STD rates in the gay community are increasing.
My main issue with it is that since struggling to succeed has become a desirable thing, everyone inserts it in their backstory.

Plenty of people that I know have not really struggled at all, yet when you ask them how they did it, there's always a nod to the struggling meme.

It's particularly annoying if you know someone who's made their money in a shady way, because then not only are they hiding the real way they did it, they are also pretending to have persevered by the rules.

There's a few ways this humblebrag comes about:

- One guy had all the pieces of a business ready, owned very similar profitable businesses in other countries, had invested most of his wealth before moving abroad. So he leads with "I came here with no money to my name".

- Another guy was blatantly doing illegal things on the side of another business in the same field. So of course it's not like he's starving while waiting for the business to pick up, and for the lawyers to set up some things for him. But the story is again "we had such a hard time until things picked up".

> Most of the ads you see aren't funded by Gilead, or by any pharmaceutical company at all. They're funded by local agencies and nonprofits tasked with HIV prevention efforts.

This differs significantly from what I see, the local agencies in my area are focused on providing testing, care and treatment, not funding advertising.

In the latter half of your comment, you literally described how this is set up to scam insurance. If one has insurance, everything is great, otherwise they get stuck without medication they need.
"Google never was able to understand that I'm able to read several languages, thank you, and I don't want no stupid auto-translate, ever."

Same problem on Ebay, and they have a much worse translator than Google, so that English product names get sometimes translated in funny totally unrelated words. I asked them if there's a way to turn off the translation and get only original English terms but alas no way.

One current problem is that even if you have insurance, and seek emergency care at a hospital that is part of the network covered by your plan, you still often end up with a huge surprise bill.

>Vox's database shows that patients are especially vulnerable to these surprise bills when out-of-network doctors work at in-network hospitals.

“It does happen quite a lot in the emergency room,” says Christopher Garmon, an assistant professor at the University of Missouri Kansas City.

Garmon published a study last year that found as many as one in five emergency room visits led to a surprise bill from an out-of-network provider involved in the care.

"char" has something else unusual going on. If you compare it to a "unsigned char" in an if-condition, and compile with -Wall -Wextra, you'll get a warning about casting. If you compare it to a "signed char" on the same system, you'll still get the warning! In fact "char" is not considered to be exactly the same as "signed char" or "unsigned char", it has 3 variants! Even though logically it must be one or the other on a particular platform. So you could think of char as mostly characters, whether ascii, or iso8859-1, or utf8 code-units ...

Functions like toupper() take an int but say "the value must be representable as an unsigned char" so you technically need to cast to "unsigned char" on most platforms, but I doubt anybody uses these functions for anything but ascii. They may work for single-byte locales like iso8859-1 etc if you have the locale env vars set right, but they won't work for non-ascii chars encoded as utf-8, which is generally what you always want to use these days. (There's towupper() which works with 2-byte locales like UCS-2, which is utf-16 without surrogate pairs, and can't represent all the new unicode chars, but you probably don't want to go there, you want some modern unicode library that works properly with utf-8 or UCS-4.)
Embperl runs on the server.

Thank you for recommending this documentary. It was horrifying because the photography looked like a breathtaking scifi dystopia but it was real life. The woman who makes 400 gadgets at a factory a day, the laborer who makes 20-30 yuan ($3-4) a day...

The only positive thing was seeing women welding and operating heavy machinery. I've only seen women like that in ads and posters so it was refreshing to see badass women.

Not sure one can know. From all angles it looks like a very stupid and badly executed assasination plot. There are a lot more discrete ways to kill someone than flying 15 people/agents over on a private plane. Time will tell hopefully.
Important to mention: ugly in terms of i assume illegality of this in many countries. I’m also convinced there are many countries when something like this is either fully legal or not covered by law this or another way. So “ugly ugly ugly” but technically and legally the caravan goes on.

I swear that DuckDuckGo had infinite scrolling for its search results, but this was not the case when I recently tried a search. Blog posts from a few years ago seems to confirm my memory that infinite scroll was the default: http://seanvwork.com/blog/duckduckgo-vs-google/

> DuckDuckGo doesn’t paginate their results like Google does. Instead, you just keep scrolling down to wade through an infinite amount of search results.

Opening up DDG's settings in incognito mode, I see that its "Auto-Load" is now a setting that is off by default:

https://i.imgur.com/yWrJ3uZ.png

I also remember that DDG fans saw infinite scroll as an advantage DDG had over Google, which was known to have rejected infinite scroll for search results: https://www.businessinsider.com/marissa-mayer-google-9-2010-...

I personally found it to be a detriment to user experience. If my query doesn't return something relevant in the first 2 pages of results, why would I want to keep going down any further -- as opposed to doing a new search? Google's pagination has an effect of protecting me from lazily scrolling through countless pages of increasingly irrelevant results, and I wonder if DDG saw the same thing in user behavior tests when deciding to make infinite scroll non-default?
I'm sympathetic to the argument, but it doesn't have much to do with my point, and I'm more interested in the economics of new therapies than I am in a moral or political debate about how medicine is financed.

I'd say of unmoderated (or poorly moderated) review systems. E.g., we don't see this on Angie's List or Houzz.

I've found that the only way to get useful information out of most Amazon reviews is to look at the 1- & 2-stars, trying to filter out the fake competitor hits, and see if there are any consistent issues that aren't DEU issues. Then look at the 3- & 4-stars and see what seems to be good. That said, I expect it'll only be a matter of time until this strategy is no good.
Since April 1 2018, PrEP is subsidised by Australia under the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS). Thus, it costs $39.5 per script ($6.40 concessional rate) [0, 1]. Earlier, it could cost as high as $10,000 a year [2].
