Been there. Done that. Have been trying to change my thinking by more thinking or some actions given prescriptions. It just doesn't work.
Energy is neutral. It's how and where you use it makes the all difference.

All that this article is providing is prescriptions about how not to misuse it. The solutions given are just a prescription not really a solution. Few people might follow it successfully for few days or months and eventually get back to their conditioning. Or if they succeed in through the prescription given, they will attract other problems in their life. That's what Psychologist do, they help retrospect your life in little depth than you can and then help you persuade that you understood the problem and recognise the solution for it. But essentially what they have done is, either suppress it for the sake of ethics, morality etc. And convert the problems into some other problems unconsciously which errupts in your life after few months or years.

The very thing we are asked to drop through prescriptions or advices becomes difficult to let go of.
In the very attempt of forgetting you have to keep remembering it, just to forget it. It keeps coming back to your mind. In order to forget, the more you will need to remember it the stronger that memory becomes.

What essentially they are suffering or fail to recognise is that "Knowing the path is not synonymous to walking the path". But it's easier said or understood by reading it than done.

If you seek permanent transformation, something fundamental has to be changed. Something which is the very root cause of it. Only inner transformation can help.

Dynamic meditation given by OSHO is dynamite to realease the mental and body energy blockages which cause such and various other types of hurdles. It helps you energy center to move from Body to Mind to Heart to Being.

http://www.oshodynamic.com/five-stages.html

Before adopting this meditation I have asked thousand questions about it's genuineness and how it works but none of that help. It is only by actually trying for few weeks I could see the change in my character.

Note: I am not associated with any OSHO's meditation centre or their work. I am just someone who tried it and found it useful.
Okay. Then why was it "timely" to release material critical of the left leaning factions of US government...

... but at the same time "not timely" to release material critical of the right leaning factions?

Are you arguing that the people from that event 100 years ago either all had a change of heart and raised their kids in respect of other humans, or massively left Tulsa for whatever reason, despite their attachment to the town ?

Because short of that, 100 years is roughly two or three generations, and that’s a short time to change the cultural composition of a town’s wealthy layer.
Eisenhower could have made the information public. A lie of omission is still a lie.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missile_gap

> According to Robert McNamara, Kennedy was leaked the inflated US Air Force estimates by Senator Stuart Symington, the former Secretary of the Air Force. Unaware that the report was misleading, Kennedy used the numbers in the document and based some of his 1960 election campaign platform on the Republicans being "weak on defense."[5] The missile gap was a common theme.

> Eisenhower refused to refute the claims publicly for fear that public disclosure would jeopardize the secret U-2 flights. Consequently, Eisenhower was frustrated by what he conclusively knew to be Kennedy's erroneous claims that the United States was behind the USSR in its number of missiles.[6]

> In an attempt to defuse the situation, Eisenhower arranged for Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson to be apprised of the information, first with a meeting by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, then Strategic Air Command, and finally with the Director of the CIA, Allen Dulles, in July 1960. Still, Kennedy continued to use the same rhetoric, which modern historians have debated as likely being so useful to the campaign that he was willing to ignore the truth.

If you want an explicit lie, the Eisenhower administration lied to the US public saying that the U-2 was for high-altitude weather research. When Powers was shot down, the official US lie was that a high-altitude research flight was missing, and may have 'drifted with an incapacitated pilot across the Soviet border' - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_U-2 .
They don't explain rules. They try to classically condition you without explaining why you would ever synthesize a word or phrase that way.

It becomes more apparent when you realize these apps are not smart. They were novel at one point, and maybe you can pick up a phrase to catch a native speaker off guard.

Duolingo is using humans to translate web content that algorithms are unsure about. This is the same founder of reCaptcha, who uses captcha's to use humans to tell robots about what the robots are unsure of.

Memrise, on the other hand, just takes the "87% most used phrases" and tries to get you to memorize the.

They have zero holistic approach to any of the languages they offer. You will never learn tense, language-specific concepts and rules, idioms that break all the rules, or whatever locals just say.
People don't like to hear things that challenge their worldview. I have accepted this reality and don't let it get to me. I have accepted the burning of e-points i.e. "karma" as a sacrifice akin to standing by the side of the road warning others driving that the bridge is out ahead. They don't need to trust me, they only need to proceed with caution and ask questions themselves.
I recently ran in to these bumps with Gnome on a new Thinkpad Carbon X1 and the 2560x1440 screen. I love Gnome but Firefox in particular was unusable and it wasn’t the only app with issues. I begrudgingly installed Cinnamon and things are better. But I prefer gnome. Glad to see I can update my Firefox on gnome to this. I can switch back any time so maybe that will make gnome usable for me.
> I can think of three groups of people.

What about everybody else? Lowering the cost for everybody outside of three groups of people would still be pretty great. Especially since it would be hard for providers to justify specifically discriminating against your groups, so they would still benefit from competition lowering prices in general.

> The first are people who can't take any time off from work. 200 miles away means less time working or less time managing family. I can think of a few circumstances where people lost their job as a result of such an injury, so for them the priority is feeding their family and then dealing with the bills later. Because you can put off medical bills, you can't put off food on the table.

This feels pretty weak. You can't afford to take a day off work, but you can afford to pay an extra $40,000? Basically nobody is in that situation. If they incur the $40,000 debt, they'll not be paying it, so this is really just your second group.

> The second are people that are going to go bankrupt anyways. Why does it matter to them how much they're going to pay when they're losing literally everything anyways? Might as well go for the closer option since again, work and all.

But then they're not actually paying it. When charging $50,000 only means that it selects exclusively for people who will file for bankruptcy, the provider who does that is headed for bankruptcy itself, to be replaced by someone who realizes it's better to get $10,000 90% of the time than $50,000 ~0% of the time.

> And finally the third are people that literally don't have the option to drive 200 miles. When my mother had her stroke she didn't have the option to go anywhere but the closest possible hospital, and post-stroke recovery had to be done locally.

Isn't this just emergency care again? Emergency care is different. It makes sense to have the locality provide it in the same way they provide fire departments, with the purpose to stabilize the situation to the point that you (or whoever is making your decisions) has a chance to assess things and make a reasoned choice how to proceed further. It's also a small proportion of overall medical costs.

And for recovery, we're just back to cost vs. convenience. If it was actually $40,000 more for each visit, it may still be worth driving 200 miles each time. If you had to drive 200 miles each way every day for ten years to save $40,000 once, well, that's another story. But the claim isn't that the further away place is always cheaper on net, it's that the fact that it sometimes can be would force the closer place to compete more on price.

> If you can't think of the dire circumstances people are in, then you've never been poor or have had to deal with seriously ill people. Think harder.

This kind of policy choice is literally a matter of life and death. Don't pretend you know the answer before you've had the debate. Being wrong is killing people one way or the other.
I'm open to seeing what evidence you have that I'm wrong. If you think you can understand economics without challenging and re-challenging your own beliefs, and contending with and considering opposing viewpoints, you're greatly under-estimating its complexity.
My own post above is becoming evidence.
Posted on the sister thread...

I think this is a really smart move, but not enough. Most remote employees, well, the ones they want to attract, make good money. 10k frankly isn't much, especially to uproot and move. Tulsa isn't really near anything, nor does it have a fallback job market. Speaking for myself, maybe 30k or a free small house could convince me, not 10k and a possibly discounted apartment...
I presume its explained in Scott Asronsons book, its implicitly there in Nielsen and Chuang. But the best way to understand it is by example - try to write out how you would describe classical probabilistic computation on two classical bits to mimic the quantum circuit type of picture, and if you succeed the generalization will be obvious.
Trying to register, and got a 403:

You don't have the permission to access the requested resource. It is either read-protected or not readable by the server.
I disagree. facebook pays a premium because they make a ton of money. Facebook has been a place people have wanted to work for a long time, and its only until January 2016 (which would contradict your theory) the media hate machine turned on them. I am not pro-facebook, but I do call it how I see it.
Wealth? Isn't that just capital? Just like the infinite automated production would be capital as well.

I would rephraze this as what need is there for markets and money?

It's not about personal gain. It'd about how to manage the resource pools of an entire civilaztion.

What you are describing is the perfectly planned economy. From empirical experience national economies cannot be efficiently planned. USSR did not have the computational capability we have now - but we don't know is there any way to control a national - lest a planetary or solar economy by any other means than markets.

So, the question to me is - if solar ecomony can be planned then there is no need for markets and money, but if it's computationally intractable, or, the market way of organization is the cheapest and best way to do it, then we are stuck with markets and money up to the heat death of the universe.

Interestingly, if from algorithmic point of view markets and money is the best way to organize a civilizations resources, then it's likely alien civilizations (if they exist) will have a market economy too.

I would hope the question of reaource allocation is tractable and that the future of mankind is more like Iain Banks's Culture rather than "robber barons of the Oort cloud".

I see this claim a lot, yet no evidence to substantiate it. What evidence do you have that he is/was a Russian asset?

And what does it matter if it's a Russian asset doing the leaking, instead of a selfless journalist? Is the leaking illegal or not? This "Russian asset" angle seems like ad hominem to make people acquiesce to violating freedom of speech.
Here, "you" is a person in Canada, US or UAE (with early access). So it's not really global from one side of this equation! There's plenty of space for such flat fee and low cost disruptions to send money from other countries to countries like Canada, US, UK, etc. But there don't seem to be any good enough players for this (because maybe it's not as easy a thing to setup?). For example, sending money from India to one of these countries is quite expensive even when going through the so called cheapest players (mainly money changers; banks charge an arm and a leg). Taxes aside (which cannot be changed), the exchange rates are quite poor and the additional transaction rates are high.
The problem though, is you need a job. I've looked at Vermont, and several of these other states, but and while I like the real estate prices, and the locale, the big problem is that I still need a job. Unless I want to work remote, there just isn't a lot of demand of for software execs there.

Some place to retire I guess.

I don't think just distributing it for free will net you revenue. Usually people need a reason to pay. I personally will pay for something if really want it, and I'm incredibly annoyed by the free alternative. Likewise, someone in a small team in a big company will use your software for free, but until they get annoyed enough by it, they won't convince their boss to pay for it to avoid the annoyance (or gain the premium feature, etc). In this sense, the value driving the purchase is the pain factor, not how useful the software is by itself.

You should also tailor your business model to the product's market. If you have a broad market - home users, small business, large businesses, etc - some can use it for free, but some will still pay. If it's a smaller market - only small businesses - maybe only a few will pay if it's available for free.

You can also change the business model to be free software that drives paying for something else - like a cool cli tool, but a much more useful premium GUI. Or a free tool that's easier to set up and use as a SaaS.

If Tulsa would just abandon its racism and religious bigotry I bet they'd attract a lot more folks than this offer will.
TL;DR Nuh-uh.

But that's not how most people talk, is it? Maybe in your circles, but not in mine. Is that a useful grammatical point to insist on? Why? "Less" is shorter and easier to say, everyone knows what it means. I guess that why it's universally used nowadays.

ps Often, maybe most of the time that I see "its" on here it's spelt wrongly, and it seems very soon that - e.g. "The dog wagged it's tail" - will be correct. I even frequently see plurals made with apostrophes, even on HN, and fear that may be an acceptable plural form one day.. But language isn't a fixed thing, as some people seem to think. However everyone speaks/writes, is correct. Where else did - or could - the first grammar books come from but writing down rules abstracted from how people actually spoke/wrote?
Good point. Perhaps the only player the hockey gods were as kind to as Nicholls was Kevin Stevens when he broke the 100 point level twice in the early 90's while playing on a line with Mario Lemieux and Jaromír Jágr.

I had no idea that the slot it used was literally just a SODIMM- I thought it was some other strange slot. That is really interesting.
Current generation GPUs are too weak for 4K especially if you also expect high framerate for high refresh rate monitors. And practically no games are using recent multi-GPU features like in Vulkan. So you can either use 4K at lower framerates, or stick to lower resolutions for now.
This is the best comment I ever read
> “There’s a burden on both sides,” said Callas. “But health-care providers get caught in the middle.”

Caught in the middle my arse. This is bigly shirking the responsibility and falsely playing the victim. Healthcare providers are extremely well versed in the billing rules and are playing dumb when they pretend not to know. There are literally manuals and seminars on how to bill (i.e. "code") one service as several, or code to a more profitable option when several options are possible, while hiding behind a veneer of respectable neutrality. Multiple large providers have been sued for essentially insurance fraud and go back to doing exactly the same.

It's a big business driven by quarterly numbers and providers don't hire expensive staff to lose at gaming the system. Do you as a patient have a full-time staff to go through billing arcana for you all day? It's impossible to even find a patient advocate. Then on top of that larger providers like hospitals aggressively sell bills to collections agencies on any dispute, abusing the power over the patient's credit as their first resort at price gouging. Thank god for the CFPB and the 2015 credit reporting rule change [1]. The day of reckoning is coming and doctors need a long look in the mirror for why they are in this line of work.

As others have pointed out regulations. I believe Musk also really wants Tesla to succeed there (it is a very large market for them) and I have no doubt the Chinese government would punish another company of Musk's if they wanted to.
While this thread is on the front page, I wanted to chime and say I had a good experience with the folks at https://www.rpmhst.com

They do home sleep testing and will write a prescription for a PAP machine. The discount of buying one through them is also pretty good. I got a ResMed AirSense 10 and it's been very helpful and I'm grateful that I didn't have to go through an in-clinic sleep test and could just pay for this out of pocket with a fixed price. Not associated with them, just a fan. I found them through the r/SleepApnea subreddit which is a good place to discuss this sort of thing.
I find it interesting that this problem has no real application and the resulting cover seems pretty ugly given how basic and fundamental the question seems.
>Let's keep things in perspective here: a person flying in a helicopter intentionally fired an explosive missile at a person standing on the ground. I know we're all pretty numb to this happening at this point, but I think it's still pretty shocking when you think about it.

Maybe he did think that he was firing on someone carrying an RPG. So? It's still a crazy act, carried out during an illegal war. Calling it "Collateral Murder" doesn't turn me off in the slightest.

Fine, a camera can look like an RPG from a distance. But maybe they should be looking a bit closer if everything is looking like an RPG.

For me, the most shocking part was when they opened fire on the van with an(other) unarmed civilian that made the mistake of stopping to help the injured people.

Then even more shocking when they later discovered the two children who were in the now-destroyed van. Just a man and his children driving in a van. Now murdered for the crime of trying to help a fellow human being.

Just a shocking lack of regard for human life. If that's how they operate - and it seems to be - they are nothing but war criminals.

What kind of monster would want to protect that kind of behavior from public scrutiny?
One of the most interesting things about this is the reintroduction of a concern for non store apps. The new app model for Windows is a failure, there isn't a app developed using the new model that can match anything developed using the "old".
I've been developing a cross-platform file manager [1] for the past 2.5 years. It is shareware with a nag screen. It currently makes ~$500 per month. Generally, I would say yes, shareware still works. But it is hard a) to write desktop software [2] and b) to convince people to pay for it. I would not give people the sources. It would make them feel even more like "I don't need to pay for this". What works for me is to be very transparent and tell people [3] "I'm one guy working on this, and am making $500 per month. This is not sustainable. If you like the project and want it to continue, buy a license".

Feel free to hit me up on twitter @m_herrmann if you have further questions. :-)

> How is it a price control when it’s free, or something like $3 for any script I’ve ever filled.

It's not free, the provider is getting paid out of taxes. But the price they get is chosen by the government. If they choose the wrong amount to pay they may overpay (and waste money) or underpay (and there will be less research).

> I just don’t believe anyone would sell to us at below cost.

Products have fixed costs (R&D) and unit costs (production). Suppose the R&D costs $10M, there are 20,000 patients world-wide and the unit production cost is only $1. Then the price per patient has to be $501 to break even, $1 to cover the production and $500 to cover the R&D. If one country says they'll only pay $100 per patient, they still make a $99 margin by selling there, but that country isn't covering their share of the R&D. And if every country was doing that, they wouldn't have done the research to begin with because they wouldn't expect to recoup the R&D cost.
