At least it is consistent, and not the first Tuesday after the second full moon. Aka once in a blue moon sort of problem. (Once a year problem)

Once in a blood moon, now that’s a hard bug to track down. (Once every 3 or so years)

It’s only a once a week issue, so it’s got that going for it

:)
I'm not buying it. Just today stats came out that there were a record ~150 million employed. No way 1/4-1/3 of those are freelancing.

1. Coverage is more expensive for lesser benefits.

2. Year-over-year changes to costs and benefits are less predictable.

2b. Continuity of coverage may itself be at risk with pre-existing conditions returning to the political debate.

If you have basic, predictable medical costs — and believe that you will stay in that bucket — these concerns may not be very relevant to you.

But a lot of people don’t fall in that bucket or aren’t confident that they’ll stay there. For these people, this adds a big risk to venturing out as an entrepreneur or freelancer.

A wholly privatized, largely deregulated health care market is toxic to entrepreneurialism because of these risks.
This is very cool! When I was a (philosophy) undergrad at UCLA, I took several graduate seminars (most of them in logic), one of which covered Rhetorical Structure Theory and Kehler's Theory of Grammar. In my term paper[1], §3.1, I posit that the "Parallel Relation" (analogies would be closely related, if not even categorically fall under PR) could possibly be modeled by Euclidean distance, such that dist(A, B) ≈ 0 when A and B retain "strong" linguistic coherence.

Anyway, this is really awesome stuff and I'm happy to see more rigorous work done w.r.t. linguistic motifs.

I tend to think laziness is positive when it inspires better architectures. Picture a dev who just sits there drinking his coffee until he finds a way to do something without typing a lot or remembering a lot of small details. Now picture a dev who dives in enthusiastically, writing the same bits of configuration a hundred times with small tweaks. Whose code would you rather maintain?

If an abstraction makes it easier to do what you want to do, it's a useful abstraction.
I did.. went to college in the UK. Germany has free University too.. US employers accept the non-US diplomas.

However, the networking issue may be a thing.. The real networking though is in sororities and fraternities I think. Or those secret societies... Then again you can always do an MBA.. ;)
True, but that trickle growth over time has led to a large chunk of the US who are freelancing.

> "More than one in three (35%) Americans freelanced this year."

1/3 of the country freelancing at some point is massive, especially since the internet is really only about 2 decades old in terms of being able to, including the late 90s.

That is a huge market and probably going to end up 1/2 or 2/3 of the country over the next decade [1].

Plus, younger people are freelancing more so a massive growth wave is coming to freelancing: 16-21 is at 47%, 22-34 is at 43%, 35-44 is at 35%, 45-54 is 28% and 55+ is 28% [2]

Interestingly, those nations also have other regulations which protect labor, but may also make it slower and more difficult to hire/fire rapidly. So there's a range of factors beyond just universal healthcare at play.
It is "new" in the sense that it has not been described before.

Much like a mathematical theorem, which of course has been true all the time since someone formulated the axioms, but when someone proves it for the first time it is "new".
I am not arguing for prohibition but for making sure that the financial interests won't go wild, I read daily here the phrase "companies have no moral" so I see this companies putting a lot of effort into selling as much as possible by advertising, misleading people about the side effects, a solution that I would be happy would be to not allow big companies to enter into this business, allow only small farmers, if it is imported then it should be done by non-profits and distribute it in pharmacies.

I admit I did not studied this topics since I am not interested just I am very disgusted on the tabacoo industry advertising and lobby and I would like to not repeat the history. I am not for prohibition, make it legal but don't have that a dozens of people get rich on this and society pays for the consequences.
You have to read the full article, if you believe in scientific advancement you will be absolutely terrified.
Whenever I bring up the density of debris in a given orbit, or the drag characteristics of the debris, they get mad.

That's kind of nuts. You'd think they'd feel relieved, like I just did when I read the top comment. It's like they want environmental disasters to be bad, like they have an ulterior motive.
It's easy to understand why it gets people "riled up." For 20+ years the entire industry has been pounding the table about why inline styles are so bad. Thousands of articles have been written espousing this idea, and likely hundreds of thousands of hours have been spent devising better alternatives in the form of CSS frameworks.

Whether Tailwind is functionally and pragmatically better than inline styles isn't even important. It looks like inline styles, so the first reaction of almost any experienced designer/developer that looks at it is to make that association and squirm in discomfort at its mere appearance.
Precisely. Same applies to mortgage market as well.
This is intersting. From a UX perspective, you're basically forcing the user into making a choice on the spot: to subscribe or not. You're in or you're out. It takes away the non-commital mind wandering, nudges those who are favorably on the fence to sign up ("why not; I might forget about this site so let's do it now") and weans out those who don't immediately see the value.

For this use-case, it's probably a good thing.
>cryptocurrencies provide true, distributed, open-to-all decision making

In what way? If they distribute decision-making power by who has the most currency, then it's not really democratic.
I'm definitely not saying something that believe 100%, but...

This happened under Windows XP, too. My work desktop was new in 2002. I got it in 2003. By 2009, it was struggling to run a complement of PuTTY terminals, Outlook and Internet Explorer, along with whatever corporate "compliance" software that company demanded. By 2010, it was hopeless.

In moments of weakness, I have a sneaking feeling the Microsoft puts deliberate performance-wasters in, so that older hardware and/or OS versions just barely work, in order to nudge people to upgrade. Of course, Microsoft doesn't do this, as it would be objectively unethical, open them to civil suits and maybe even be illegal. As a citizen and a taxpayer, I know that market forces would prevent such dirty tricks, as it would cause customers to flow away from Windows and on to its many competitors in the free market.
Unless those freelancers/entrepreneurs happen to have any kind of health history what so ever. In that case they'd have to stick with a large employer group plan.

Fun fact: in 2011 nearly half of the US population had a preexisting condition that would have affected pre-ACA medical underwriting.

How are you so sure of this? I don't think we have conclusive evidence of this. It depends on a bunch of factors, among them is what government revenue would fund it.
You think a socialist nations laws would ever result in a payment to the people?
There are libraries for .NET Core that play very very nicely with Azure. And there are parts of Azure that play very nicely with their Enterprise software like Active Directory.

It's all circular.
is a survey of 6000 adults really significant enough? I'm not an expert in statistics, but that seems awfully low.
The expansion of loans came because state governments cut funding to their universities and colleges.
Nice idea but it would only work if there were no ties at all between it and your real world identity, no connections that knew who you really were, because the usual method of harming someone via old social media posts uses screenshots, not links. The Internet has radically changed since back in the day, you cannot assume good faith of anyone.
There's a fine line between truth and justice. Nothing illustrated this more than the movie, The Dark Knight.
I’d think revenue would have been important - I read the entire article expecting something in that (which is what would have been interesting).

Instead it’s just a variation of “how many email addresses do they have”
> full-time freelancers now make up 28% of freelancers (up 11 points since 2014)

Only a little over a quarter of those are ONLY freelancing.
Nitpick: that was the creator of the Web, not of the Internet.
How about a hundred BFR sized launchers? (Just scaling it up to nation-state/Bond villain levels, out of curiosity.)
This. Cold/Frozen storage is incredibly cheap if properly setup.
The prohibition was retroactively applied to private loans already existing.

My wife and I chose private loans specifically to retain bankruptcy protection in case of serious life issues. A couple years after we took them, the law changed and we were stuck with the higher interest rates of the private loans without those protections.

For a time, we considered a Constiitutional challenge to that, as we believed it to be an ex post facto law. We didn’t want to incur the negatives of a bankrupty to gain standing, though, and couldn’t afford the astronomical legal fees that would certainly accompany that sort of case. As far as I know, no one has pursued it.
It’s easier to just nod yes and take money from your management who’s decided they need a blockchain, than spend time burning bridges in explaining why they don’t

I wish all universities would put student transcripts on a public blockchain, while addressing privacy concerns.
That's a different scenario. Then they can throw away food for owners that don't use the fridge. But they are throwing away food of active owners.

No, it's presentation software that's implemented via a website. The primary user of this software is the person giving the talk, not people on the internet. The fact that people on the internet can also see it is a bonus that comes with the choice of the implementation.

Complaining that this doesn't work on mobile is like complaining Powerpoint doesn't work on mobile.
Shouldn't have edited "social" out of the title. "Social justice" and "justice" are unrelated concepts.
For those on the "blockchain hype train", I suggest you find a business solution that requires a dApp.

> that is accessible to the public, with the network affect of being able to access other contracts deployed by others.

Outside of crypto (mainly bitcoin), what business problem exists for this problem today and what blockchain solution has been created to solve it?

I've genuinely waited for people to provide a serious answer to this and I'm still waiting for an answer.
Also, nicotine withdrawal ("nic-fits") are severe enough to turn even the most jaded working stiffs into a hero!
Depends. Many standard layers express a form of prior knowledge. A CNN layer embeds the assumption of spatial translation invariance, an RNN does the same for temporal translation. Graph Neural Nets have permutation invariance. Assumptions can also be expressed as regularisation terms added to the loss function. One common practice is to initialise a net with the weights of another net trained on a related task - usually CNNs trained on ImageNet, and word embeddings for NLP (though lately it is possible to use deep neural nets such as BERT, ELMo, ULMFiT and OpenAI transformer pre-trained on large text corpora).
Then what do companies need Linux guys for? If what you say is true, there's a large incentive for the industry to put you guys next on the chopping block by similarly lowering the complexities of Linux, or improving the Windows ecosystem to do everything else at least as well as Linux can.
It's not that binary. Strict rules on insurers essentially means shared. Shared by law requires trust in government spending, something there is little of and the spending is volatile per cycle.

The actual costs of student loan forgiveness is fairly marginal compared to the economic benefits [1]. Further the federal government can write off debt without anyone ever having to pay for it. Student loans are created by the Treasury for the Department of Ed, repayment just gets dumped onto a balance sheet in the treasury that has no relationship to reality.

What I meant was engineers made it for engineers. Dumping the database to change functionality is not something a successful user oriented system would do - but is something enigneers calling the shots would do.

I like this part:

Apple is milking its essentially captive audience. I hesitate to call it “loyal” — these are, essentially, people who look with trepidation at the idea of moving years of photos and other data to a different system.

My wife gnashed her teeth when she got one of the new, wildly overpriced iPhones — but she just can’t imagine switching to Android.
Could you explain the last line in your comment for someone who isn’t familiar with Ken Reitz?
When I saw "restoring" in the title I was expecting higher resolution. For example seeing in modern photo level detail eyelashes, wrinkles, etc. I get that, like the colors, this would require the adding lots of made up information about scene and feature details but IMO it would blur the lines between restoration and reconstruction/storytelling in a really awesome way. Old photos are cool in their own way but their lack of detail makes them seem so alien. Would be exciting to get a hyper real reconstruction.

Are there examples of ML doing something like that? (also know little about ML)
> cryptocurrencies solve the previously unsolved double spending problem

Double-spending in digital currencies has been solved before.

Blockchain is one of the potential solutions for double spending in fully-distributed digital currencies.
ha ha ha! The last time this sort of thing happened, in the 80s after Reagan-era FCC deregulation, concentration of TV, radio and newspapers were just The Free Market in Action. Quillette should at least acknowledge that mergers, etc, of media firms has happened before, for entirely explicable reasons, and tell us what is different, and wronger, this time. This particular article just makes them sound like whiners who think their particular viewpoint should get special treatment, in light of their lack of historical awareness.
An induction furnace usually has a graphite crucible around the metal which I believe helps to convert the magnetic field into heat (with the side benefit that it creates a reducing environment as the carbon in the graphite turns into CO2 and CO).
Which is why I don't think our current notions of "privacy" are going to be a persistent concern. In the past, people lived in human-scale communities where everyone knew each other and had reputations. In the future, identity and reputation will be increasingly managed by technology. The middle period, where people lived in large metropolitan communities in relative anonymity, is the abnormality.
> It wouldn't be surprising if future versions of Windows started shipping with .NET Core pre-installed.

The UWP .NET stack seems close enough to .NET Core (esp. when using .NET Native) to posit that this is already the case. (Though there are still subtle differences between UWP .NET and .NET Core, they seem very close to converging.)

The author is a middlebox employee (IPS, IDS, Firewall, NAT, WAN optimizers, LBs). Middlebox people want unencrypted transport headers, because they literally profit from unencrypted headers. :) Everyone else, including users, site operators, and software engineers writing network software prefer that middleboxes not be able to see or tamper with transport headers (both for privacy, avoiding bugs, and being able to evolve software).

From the original article: "What's wrong with encrypted transport headers? One possible argument is that middleboxes actually serve a critical function in the network, and crippling them isn't a great idea. Do you really want a world where firewalls are unviable? But I work on middleboxes, so of course I'd say that. (Disclaimer: these are my own opinions, not my employer's)."

It's more the not-even-veiled misogyny than the statement about the relative worth of degrees that caused my down vote.

Also, most/all of this generation are told that it doesn't matter what your degree is in, just that you get a degree. That idea combined with some generic distain for trades is what drives kids to college regardless of cost. Men are also taking out loans.

We need to respect trades and respect that not everyone wants or needs to spend 4 more years in school.

We also need to stop being misogynistic, but that should go without saying.
I'd love it if you expanded on that last comment - my instinct is that functional CSS is a footgun, but I'm not nearly good enough at CSS to really be able to unpack that into concrete problems it causes.

I think they follow him because he created Tesla, Space-X and other things. Braggadocio without results to back it up won't take him as far.
Still seems high to me. Even in the software world I don't run into that many people that purely freelance. Many people moonlight as developers though, so I could see it being true if we looked at it as only part time supplemental income, but that is not how this is worded. Maybe it was just over represented in their sample. Looks like it was only 6k people.
Barriers to trade like "no chlorine-washed chicken", mmmm
Absolutely not. Pre-ACA options were heavily biased to healthy, young individuals.

This is not the profile of freelancers and entrepreneurs, and especially not the profile of the most qualified contributors to an entrepreneurial market.

As you get older, you get more experienced and better networked, which can yield the best opportunities for freelancing and entrepreneurialism. But you also accumulate dependents, medical conditions, and risks of the sams. All of thess were grossly penalized pre-ACA, to the point that many would-be entrepreneurs and freelancers wouldn’t be eligible for coverage at all.

I think people are inferring that you believe women’s hould stay home and not use their degree to earn.

Whatever your personal beliefs, a much larger proportion of women do exit the job market at or before the height of their earning potential to raise children. It’s not a moral judgement to say that this is could pose a problem.
Nothing when everything's a one-off and you only have one supported theme. But if CSS is your component model (e.g. a card is always just a div but with a special style) then you'll have "centered wide-margins light-bg dropshadow" on every one of those divs, rather than just class="card". Similarly if you want to have two different themes with the same DOM, you can't do so easily.
Looked it up for Canada. 54% of all private employers are companies of 1-4 people.

"Of the 1,167,978 employer businesses active in Canada, micro-enterprises (firms with 1 to 4 employees) constitute 54.1 percent of all private employers, which is the largest SME group."

The point of his presentation was how to identify real, sustainable growth before the point where it is self-evident that the company is a winner. To do that you have to go upstream of revenue.
