I wonder how much this has to do with a nation's format of policing and especially interrogation.

The legal protection for refusing to speak in the US is the Fifth Amendment, which of course predates most modern police tactics. But there are basically no calls to change that, and it has a lot of cultural support too - there's plenty of media where "I ain't sayin' nothin'" marks a tough or well-informed character instead of a guilty one.

The other side of which is that US police have very few boundaries in interrogations other than giving a Miranda warning and avoid physical violence. A lot of police forces rely heavily on the Reid Technique, which presumes the suspect is guilty and has a long history of producing false confessions. They're also free to outright lie about both the state of evidence and how a confession will be handled.

I don't know a great deal about Norwegian policing, but just hearing this I would predict that "brought in for questioning" doesn't have the same "try to drag a confession out of you" associations it does in the US.
Admittedly this is aggregate for the whole state:

Those aren't great incentives for people with families to want to move. Might be more tolerable for younger folks?

Of course, getting fresh tax revenue etc may be important towards getting those various things improved, and Tulsa might be significantly better than the rest of the state.
Generally it's FAANG (minus Amazon, plus some unicorns), for the reasons mentioned above: a very good balance of excellent compensation, talented peers to work with, and interesting work.

Joining these companies in the right teams is literally what makes it possible to have an exciting technical career AND the guarantee of being able to retire (or more generally, gain financial freedom) in your early/mid 40s, if one decides to stay on an individual contributor technical track. Seriously, it's the only decision that makes sense if one has the chops to get into one of those places. Always pay yourself first, with interesting works that keeps you marketable and with liquid cash to put into your retirement savings!

I would have jumped ship myself but, as I said in a few other previous comments, I had crazy luck to join a "very mediocre" startup who is growing a lot, so my appreciated equity prevents me from leaving, otherwise I'd for sure be in FB right now, since the offer they extended me was very generous and the specific work was something I wouldn't be able to do anywhere else.

A close friend of mine was hired for their network traffic team a few months ago. I spoke to him recently and he said: "boy, I thought I knew many things about handling large traffic at scale, but the things I'm seeing here are simply unprecedented". So, to all the people who say FB will go down in history for hiring mediocre people, please recognize how ridiculous your statements are.
Bin Laden was indicted in 1998 for multiple capital crimes. His co-conspirators were convicted.

The Taliban refused to extradite bin Laden and the UN Security Council responded with sanctions (e.g. Security Council resolution 1267).
I currently handle digital advertising at a company that is heavily reliant on Facebook Ads. I've worked with this company nearly 3 years, and we got a call from the Facebook Ads team for the first time ever, around September of this year.

They called under the pretense of 'making sure we were utilizing the full potential of their ads manager' but after about 2 or 3 phone calls with them, my manager and I caught on to their angle.

Their suggestions over these phone calls were for us to test out all of these new features and 'creatives' they were adding to the Ads platform. Testing these new features and methods costs money, and what we had spent years tweaking and perfecting was actually working just fine.

Essentially they were targeting us because we had around $XX,XXX in annual ad spend, which probably put us in some Small - Medium business category where they felt they could extract more ad dollars from us.

It definitely smells like they are desperate for revenue and I can only imagine what they're Ads (read: Sales) teams are pushing to marketers at Enterprise levels with millions in ad spend on FB.
Great, thanks for your support! I definitely intend to implement something similar to GitHub pages, but even more powerful - how about using any static site generator you want? OpenBSD support is also coming soon!
Is there any cheap way to get a CPAP evaluation and device? I’m in startup grind mode and just don’t have the extra funds right now but I’m curious if this is why I feel lethargic all the time.
Oh yeah, companies of substantial size have large/meaningless overheads too. That's the unfortunate consequence of having a lot of people work together with varying opinions/motivations.

They also have to spend a lot on warm bodies/lobbying to get those contracts in the first place.

I'm not letting the enterprise providers off the hook. Just pointing out (as you note) that true responsibility lies with the project managers. Ineffectual project managers mean overblown budgets and undercooked results.
*noise
Have you thought about an at-home sleep study? My wife and I both did that to get our CPAPs prescribed. Just had to wear a band around the chest (with a little unit that read the force of expansion, I presume), a pulse-ox sensor (IIRC), and something else I can't recall. I'm sure it's not perfect, but my doctor recommended it and was happy enough with it.
Exactly. Fed up with being turned into debt collectors? Then don't be shady loan sharks using debt collection as a price negotiation tool.
just to clarify

your words.
> So in reality when you see "100% Whole Wheat" on the shelf, most times it's really more like a blend of white and whole wheat (plus a whole bunch of other preservatives and other junk).

If you see the "100%" it will use all whole wheat flour. Simply stating "whole wheat" could mean different things.

There are multiple efforts to improve the labeling surrounding all this. Here's one:

How to post on HN correctly?
Hi!

Can anyone advice on how to post on HN correctly? I was not spamming, just made 2 submissions. But my post is not visible in New. How to post on Show HN? How to check if my account is banned or blacklisted.

Thank you!
The world is not always a zero sum game, it progresses approximately monotonically forward at the edges, ever so slightly but significantly. Believing that no change ever happens is a medieval worldview.
For sure, private health insurers exist and in a big way. In Australia for instance, there's still privately owned hospitals which do offer a more "premium" level of service - i.e. better rooms, less surgical waiting times, ammenities, often where specialists have their offices, etc. Health insurance gives the option to use these hospitals and the insurer covers the majority of the costs. There's sometimes a 'gap' cost to pay.
The thing is, it's not like you might die in the public side of things and live in the private side - you'll get the same kind of primary care. But health insurance becomes a premium service for those who want it. I'm sure there's a lot more to the story as well, but it's one of those things that I'm not an especially full bottle on.
I think the point of discussion is about decision making. Steve wasn't involved in detail design, programming or engineering but he made decisions. It was his vision, not their subordinates'. He rallied support for his vision of personal computing.

When managers don't make decisions, and instead leave up to their staff to make decisions, what is their job then? "Managing"? Meaning, sitting down on 1:1s every week and act as a face of the team, do yearly reviews and assign safety training courses?

Intelligent and skilled workforce should not waste their time reporting to these people who have no vision or spine of their own.
Her actual response:

That's politics code for "I totes said that, but I don't want to be caught in a lie if there's some record of it."
FB paid well above market long before the general opinion of it was anything worse than, "God, people sure do waste a lot of time on Facebook."

I'm not sure I understand. How is it for the better? Shouldn't wrongdoing be brought to light, no matter the perpetrator?
That’s the so called Guccifer 2.0 leak which was unrelated to the DNC emails that WikiLeaks dropped.

they also recently added 4 (or 5?) mics on the new iPad Pro so that it could do facetime calls while cancelling out the feedback.

This, again, reads like a bunch of people who don't want to do their actual job.

What exactly does 'retraining on related open source projects' even mean?

It either works, or it doesn't. Unless you're working in the schizo world of JavaScript, tech, in reality, doesn't change a massive amount in the space of 5 years.
From what I've read, if you raise slowly (like 1cmh2o per day maximum) you'll notice an increase in Central events and a higher AHI or obvious aerophagia if you get too high. I haven't read a single case of exploding lung though even at 20cmh2o. This is not medical advice though!
Finding out the price is only half the battle - finding out every doctor who might be involved in a procedure so you can make sure they're in network is the other half. Getting healthcare - even with insurance - can be terrifying.

My AHI during my sleep study was approx. 55-60 (It's been several years, forget the exact number).

With my machine my number is usually 1, most nights under 0.5.

Actually many readers of HN outside of the US will not be that familiar with the peculiarities of the US system.
I occasionally get random bills from "providers", and I think it shows just how awful medical billing is.

The worst was whenever we had our first child. I thought it would just be a single bill or something, but instead I received about 10.

One from the hospital, one from a surgeon, one from the OBGYN, and one from an anesthesiologist. We only met one pediatrician during our stay, but we received a bill from every pediatrician that did a rotation while we were there, so that added four more. One because a nurse working was an independent contractor, and one from the wet nurse who we talked to for like 5 minutes.

Two of them we never actually received bills for because they had an outdated address, so they were sent to collections. We discovered them a year later when we were trying to buy a house. It dinged my wife's credit so bad that we were recommended to not put her on our mortgage application.
Women make more money and effective birth control has reduced the financial risks of sex. Women have less reason to demand the financial protection of marriage and so men don’t have to supply it.
This thread applies also to Russia, where complaints about coming constellation were already voiced in the government.

In both cases I assume the issue at stake is the freedom of communications. I'd hope to have both technical means to communicate (and hide those communications) and enough support on USA side not to pressure SpaceX to deny service worldwide.

We'll see how it goes.
If he had kept his promise after Obama pardoned Chelsea Manning I would care.

Men and women would have to actually need each other for the contract to make sense.

But, the toothpaste is out of the tube. I don't feel the need to get married because anything a wife can do, I can do with appliances and without breaking a sweat. Anything else can be supplemented by services. House dirty? My robot vacuum picks up a lot of the slack, and if I don't want to do the rest on my own, I can schedule a maid service. If I don't cook my own meals, GrubHub can be my personal chef. Something broken? Need some tough work done? There's apps that will hail handy-people for you. It doesn't end there; there's a plethora of engaging entertainment you can engage with and you don't even have to leave your home. This situation is salient to both men and women.

I think marriage will continue to decline no matter what, but one thing that might make it somewhat more appealing is if western culture could do away with the needless expenses around the tradition and the ceremony. The amount spent on a mere ring is absurd(honestly wtf is going on here), but people want these crazy weddings where 3 parties, the couple, the wife's parents, and the husband's parents have to chip in. The dress has to be expensive, the venue has to be expensive and booked way in advance, the catering is expensive, etc. And I'm supposed to want all of this? Good grief.

If it was not a disappointment that people have modest weddings, perhaps a few more people might get married? Eh, I don't really know about that.

By the way, I'm in no way complaining. There was a time not that long ago when even men who weren't married by a certain age had a stigma against them. In some ways that stigma still exists, but it's largely been defanged as companies today are perfectly willing to hire men who don't have families.

Pardon my ignorance, but just so I understand, when you said “Does that excuse the war crimes that were committed?” Which war crimes were you referring to?

I'm American. I even worked in insurance for a few years.

I've been a military dependent my entire life first under my father, then under my husband. I've essentially never dealt with American medical insurance. The military system is basically a different medical system.

There are probably other Americans who don't really know how it works either.
The claims of him being a russian asset and the the links to washingtonpost and nytimes as credible sources in this thread is hilarious.

It's the administrative apparatus of hospitals. Not only doctors, but staff, admins, real estate, etc. Notice how swanky some "clinics" are?

Also doctors' pay does grow at super-inflationary rates according to data. That's at least part of the story.
> The argument was "the US leaders are protecting themselves by extraditing Assange, who uncovered their crimes"

No...they are not protecting themselves. Their crimes have already been exposed. They are prosecuting someone for something that was criminal.

> who uncovered their crimes", and the reply was "but Assange is a Russian asset, so he's not so great either". Asset or not, the crimes were still committed, and the people who committed them are still guilty.

Ok, and how does that bear on the issue of Assange's extradition? Your response was the whataboutism that Assange shouldn't be extradited because the US committed war crimes.
>And what modern feminists like yourself struggle with is that men are inately predisposed more toward certain personality traits than women.

Yes, but what traits society allows men to express while still being considered "proper men" differs depending on culture, and mediates whatever biological imperatives might exist. Ancient cultures considered sex between men to be a perfectly reasonable thing for a masculine man to do, since the concepts of "hetero" and "homo" sexuality didn't really exist at the time. Men in Elizabethan times were far more free to express emotions than now - consider that many of Shakespeare's sonnets, including the famous Sonnet 18 ("Shall I compare thee to a summer's day...") were addressed to a man.

>Yet you do not even consider the possibility that humans are hard wired towards certain average behaviors, that men are almost certainly predisposed towards agression, that females may very well be attracted to dominance (hell, it's all over our culture if you look with an open mind).

Also, innate predisposition doesn't justify all expressions of those dispositions. One may say that men are predisposed towards physical aggression due to their increased musculature relative to women and testosterone, but that doesn't mean every act of violence is healthy. Females may be attracted to dominance, but that doesn't mean all means of dominating women are justifiable.

We may be apes, but that doesn't mean we get to rape any female we find attractive and murder the offspring of rival males because, you know, we're trying to have a civilization here.

>You deny the pain and loneliness that unnatractive men experience daily because of factors beyond their control - height, build, facial structure, social difficulty.

Plenty of unattractive, facially asymmetrical and socially awkward men are able to meet with women, date, have sex, all over the world, every day. Believe me, if women didn't have low standards in that regard, our species would probably have died out long ago.

>Pride, agression, drives for achievement and competition, these natural, "toxic" masculine traits BUILT the modern world.

You see... I literally said that wasn't what "toxic masculinity" meant and that people automatically confuse the term for an attack on masculinity itself... you literally quoted the part of my comment where I said that and then you went and did exactly that.

At least try to approach this on an intellectual level and not be so triggered by feminist jargon.
> There are actually quite scant false flag operations in US history, and many of them weren't even false flag so much as 'purposefully misrepresented'.

What's the difference between "purposefully misrepresented" and a false flag?

I am honestly not sure -- I thought the concept of a false flag was a purposeful misrepresentation of an event.

> BTW, please add a nice 404 so people won't see that you're running nginx/1.14.0 :-)

Actually simply adding a custom 404 page won't hide the webserver/version, as it is also sent along the HTTP response headers.

For nginx specifically, one can use the `server_tokens off;` directive, which hides the version (but not the webserver). Brings back memories of when I used to recompile the webserver to remove this header :)

Of course for UX a custom 404 page is great. Congratulations, Sir_Cmpwn, this is just awesome and I'll soon be subscribing.

There are a lot of instances where long married men lose their wives then die very soon afterwards. When there's a correlation of something with longevity and removing the something is soon followed by death, then there's good reason to believe the causation theory.
The Guccifer leaks are completely different from the WikiLeaks leaks. They have nothing to do with Assange.
