It can absolutely make things better. I have received lots of good medical advice in this way, with the philosophy that asking alone can't hurt. However I have also weighed the advice as to possible risk. In addition I've tried lots of things that didn't work for me, like diets, sleep patterns, and even some medications.

IMO in order for quality of care to improve across the board, it's important to acknowledge that there is some signal in the noise in situations like this. Overall I think most of us can trust ourselves. Especially if we also have access to medical professionals, many of whom will in practice shrug and say "it's worth a try if you like."

Personally, I wouldn't even call acquiring points simple. Right now when I fly it's complicated enough to pick a flight. But one of the points of a frequent flyer program from an airline's perspective is to encourage me to fly their airline more often. So if I belonged to one of the programs, I'd also have to be doing the calculation of, "Oh, if I fly X instead of Y, I'd get enough miles to level up in status and/or get a free goodie." Which means having to learn and keep up with the rules, balances, and rewards of the various programs.

Do not want.
You decided to latch on to one possible inaccuracy in what I said and disregard the overall point. Even if we agree that millions is not correct, 100s of thousands or thousands of people? Point is for every 1 qualified person hired at Google there are probably 100s of (at the very least) qualified people rejected. So Google can be unbelievably picky before any they see any bad effect from their hazing interviews on themselves.

I think you misunderstand the definition of hilarious. This is not an attack, but an observation.

When you are the guy who has to meet payroll for your team, and some (insert appropriate NSFW description here) person/company deprives you of pay for the work they are taking advantage of to further their goals ... think how that makes you feel.

There are many adjectives. None of them are synonymous with hilarious.

==At significantly higher cost.==

Significantly higher building costs, but lower land acquisition costs.

Excerpt from a BuildZoom analysis:

"The high cost of housing in expensive coastal metros is not driven by construction costs. It is driven by the high cost of land which, in turn, reflects a scarcity of zoned units, not a scarcity of land per se."

> and that they see the investments that they are making in performance will pay off greatly in the coming years, because suddenly our phone will be more powerful than our desktop.

The only way I can see that happening is if people stop upgrading their desktops for years and years AND phones are able to make steady performance improvements AND people don't stop upgrading their phones regularly.

Larger form factors (both desktop and laptop) have physical advantages when it comes to performance (e.g. cooling, more power), and I don't think they can be beaten by a smaller form factor in a fair competition (e.g. chips at similar process nodes).

If mobile computing has reached maturity like desktop computing has, I can see people holding off their mobile upgrades the same as they hold off their desktop upgrades, which would mute the main way mobile can get a performance edge over desktop. The burn-the-ships software update cycle that's more common on mobile may mitigate that, but it's coming to the desktop so it may not be much of a difference in the future.

The trial you linked (as well as the two other registered trials using mesenchymal stem cells for Ankylosing Spondylitis that I found) are using allogeneic (donor) MSCs. I've been in MSC research/development for 17 years and now cryopreserve them as a service (Forever Labs YCS17). From my experience and knowledge of clinical efforts, allogeneic is limited by immuno-rejection of the MSCs after a few days. That's not to say that they can't provide benefit, but just that their window of action is limited as your body recognizes the donor cells as foreign, and weeds them out (perhaps in AS this is enough). The allogeneic issue is actually why I started banking them. I wanted my own young MSCs available to me later in life.

I'd be curious if you can get the clinic in China to expand your own MSCs. I did some MSC research in Beijing long ago. IMO they are ahead of us in many respects, but they also push the envelope more, and you need to be cautious. That goes for everywhere, actually. Just for different reasons.
I just wish there were a more universal acceptance of entropy. I.e.:

Passwords are fine, it's the differing standards that are nutty. Especially when you don't know them until after trying.

Intense competition among labor and companies’ willingness and ability to squeeze value out of employees.

Life is not getting any cheaper, but there is a perpetually larger and larger supply of labor willing to do your job for less. Employers are very efficient at capturing that value, so if you want to keep your job from someone willing to be paid N% less, you need to be N% more productive. The most visible proxy for doing that is to work longer hours. Or, be willing to work for less and work multiple jobs. Lots of people do that too.
I mostly agree with the sentiment in other comments of just using nginx, but there is one standout feature here that looks incredibly useful:

> We have now support for automatic generation of SSL certificates using LetsEncrypt. Zero config setup for your TLS protected services that just works.

I've scripted this kind of letsencrypt certs automation before with certbot and nginx, which is fine but a 'just works' declarative plugin for nginx would be much nicer.

Does anything like this exist? Anyone have experience with using it? Asking here as googling brings up a bunch of outdated forum threads etc to wade through.
I see what you're saying and I agree for the most part, but all that code is written by someone, reviewed (maybe), and put to some form of a production environment.

Depends. If you define fp as being manipulation of immutable data (i.e. math-like), then it’s quite feasible in C++. Gimmick or no, templates aren’t even necessary.
Given that this tool is for solving problems that stem from the Java platform's incontinent dependency management, that branding seems spot-on to me.

2fa doesn't replace passwords but it is added friction that people willingly take on for added security.

Password managers are a separate program that (some) people are willing to use as part of their login process. Perhaps whatever adoption it has is based on the fact that people understand passwords. But once they're used to using a program to log them in, I'd argue that's a potential hook into something more secure. Even something as simple as the API I described would mitigate (I'll stop short of saying eliminate) phishing attacks.

This is a pretty bad example. Although the two CPUs may be compatible, the micro architecture differs substantially, frequently causing Intel processors to excel where AMD struggles and vice versa.

Although the CPUs are capable of the same things, we might say they have different, erm, 'preferences.'

Ask HN: What is your experience with Applicant Tracking Systems?
Hi HN,

I'm currently thinking about moving towards using an Applicant Tracking System for our company, but I feel a little unsure. As an applicant, I used to absolutely hate the rigid ATS systems of the first generation where instead of sending my CV as PDF, I had to fill in dozens of forms in order to just get back a cold standard mail after weeks.

That's why when we started our company, we went with a simple mailing list first. Thing is, we're slowly getting to the scale where this stops working and there are simply too many open positions and people working on them cluttering the list. I'd really like to have features such as human or tech-assisted pre-categorization to a job ad, multiple people in the pipeline, handover and just making sure we're answering everybody.

On the other hand, I'd really like to work with a system that doesn't have much more of a hurdle for applicants than sending a simple e-mail and that doesn't get in the way an interaction between humans. Bonus points for good integration in third-party software.

Has anyone used any ATS systems in the recent past and if you (dis)liked them, why?

You're right, one of these things is not like the other. However, I think in the next ten years, Apple will regret having neglected this product category, and Ubiquiti is making inroads into consumer-grade products as well as service providers and enterprise-level networking. I just think it's interesting that Ubiquiti was born out of Apple and was able to turn this into a super interesting and profitable business even though there is a perfectly logical reason as you note. I suppose I just think Ubiquiti is so fascinating that it will be evident one day what a mistake Apple made.

Our financial system is entirely predicated on the assumption of perpetual growth. It’s likely to bite us in the end if we can’t get ahold of the externalities and find a way to build sustainable systems, but unfortunately we don’t have the scaffolding in place for that and Apple is just another cog in the existing system.
