See you keep saying you can convince me, but still wont show me the proot that will.

Do you really believe the Iraq Warlogs revealing death, torture, war crimes, and lying is somehow worse than literally subverting American democracy in a presidential primary?

Now, I don't want to defend Assange's every single motive, but the DWS scandal was pure corruption, while for whatever bad Assange has done that you keep promising to show me, he has clearly shown bravery in doing some good along the way.

And by the way, revealing war crimes is not anti-American. Liberty and justice are American principles. There will always be corruption and always a need to reveal it.

80msec is not a good outcome considering the cost and complexity of the investment. Aren't there alternative technologies to achieve this connectivity?
I find this baffling. I live in a country with free healthcare but have used private hospitals here in the past. They give an estimate of costs from every practitioner involved before you agree to the procedure. It's not exact but they give a best to worst case range.

I'm not sure how this would apply to emergency care, but for non-urgent procedures I don't see why a quote isn't provided. It feels like a failure of the care providers to me.
Let me guess, the Attorney General is not interested in prosecuting, because if he were physicians would be more honest. The advice would be to let the dubious bills go to collection, they'll never end up in court because that would make a paper trail.

CPAP with humidifier user here. About nondistilled water:

My humidifier has a heated metal plate in the bottom of the tank. Its temperature is set on a humidifier scale of 1-8, plate temperature increases from 1-8.

Evaporation of nondistilled water will leave mineral deposits behind. Deposits decrease thermal conductance between heated plate and water. This will reduce evaporation rate, reducing effective humidity for a given setting.

If the control loop is smarter than usual and includes humidity sensing, there's a potential for thermal runaway. Doubt this is an issue, it's probably a simple temperature loop. I don't think you'd "fry the entire machine in days".

There may be more bacterial growth potential with nondistilled water. Don't know.

Using distilled water is a little less convenient, but could avoid some issues.

I use Airtable for my job, mostly as a project management application. This may be an unusual use case, but I find myself limited at many times.

I feel like Airtable is very unresponsive. On the community forums, they seem to communicate rarely, and not implement very simple functionality for long periods of time. Very good features that would be highly beneficial and should take a weekend go months without even a reply.

It's death by a thousand cuts for me. Sorts in Kanban view don't automatically resort when you add cards, so you have to manually resort every time. No rich text formatting on cards. Copying tables doesn't copy the field type. There's so many minor things I'd like changed.

None of the problems by themselves are deal-breakers by themselves, and I will continue to use Airtable (Trello, for instance, does not offer the field customization I love about Airtable). But I can't help but think execution can be so much better.

It's almost like nobody at Airtable pays attention to the design of features. Everything is so limited. Blocks are an incredibly useful idea, but in practice uncustomizable and not something I find helpful.

It's a good product, but not a great product.

I've been considering working on my own product in this line. At least if nobody else uses it, I'll be able to.
I got a notice from a debt collector and I disputed it. The proof they provided was a hand-written note from the doctor, and a copy of the hospital's form my wife signed (while in hard labor, mind you) agreeing to pay the hospital. But the hospital had no record of a doctor by that name and could not confirm the legitimacy of the bill. Neither could anyone at the contact address provided.

It ended up going to court and it was judged to be a legitimate bill that I had to pay. That's how bad the system is.

Anyone who wishes to discredit Wikileaks has a strong incentive to release documents which could cast doubt on the authenticity of a Wikileaks release, and in turn the organization as a whole.

Many people wish to discredit Wikileaks.

So far no one has provided evidence that Wikileaks has ever doctored, edited or manufactured anything in their releases.

I think that indicates something, but it's certainly not conclusive.
What a silly point on which to turn your concerns about government misconduct, especially when it involves the 1st amendment.

> Obama pardoned Chelsea Manning

First of all, that never happened. You are drastically exaggerating the relief offered by the government.

The government tortured this person for years and then, even after offering this (in the great scheme of things, small) gesture of commuting her sentence, it still kept her locked up for an absurd amount of time, ostensibly for administrative reasons.

It was too little too late for me, and too little too late for Assange. If the government wanted to take the deal he offered, it had the opportunity to immediately pardon Manning and call Assange out on it. Then we'd know if he was bluffing.

This (less than) half measure doesn't cut.

A news organization has a responsibility to present information in an informed manner in order to prevent misunderstandings and misrepresentations.

Check out LitElement. It lets you define everything in one place, and because it uses Shadow DOM, CSS is handled as well.

Here's where we'll be with plain standard JavaScript once class fields and decorators land:

@customElement('hello-element')
class HelloElement extends LitElement {

@property() name = 'World';

render() {

Nobody denies that masculine traits like aggression aren't natural tendencies in males. But, the notion that its natural isn't contradictory with the notion that it can be the driver of highly selfish and oppressive behaviors.

Slandering people as incels because they're ugly or unpopular is not a commonly held view. Calling them out for aggressively blaming women for their problems and encouraging sexual violence as a justified way to satisfy natural needs is common. The term incel is typically self-assigned.

Your last argument is a good example of the main fallacy here. Nobody says that drives for achievement and competition are bad. But its not an excuse to be an asshole. Maybe men are predisposed to certain behaviors that make them assholes. Doesn't matter. Don't be an asshole. Can't help it? Doesn't matter. Don't be an asshole. The drive against toxic behaviors is really simple. Don't do them.

I'm pretty pleased with the X1E: it's not quite MBP-level thin, but it's still a great balance of power and portability. NotebookCheck has a review that's worth checking out.

elementary OS feels fast, familiar, and refined. It's not quite as fleshed out as other distros like Mint (or macOS itself, for that matter), but it's getting better with each release.

The 4K HiDPI screen on the X1E is vibrant. My biggest concern was that the HiDPI scaling on Linux wouldn't be up to snuff, but I've been pleasantly surprised. The scaling for GTK apps was perfect right out of the box. There were some extra steps to get Qt apps to scale properly and inherit the GTK theme, but they look great now. Wine and Steam basically just required checking a box to get the scaling to work.

> I can't help but be drawn into the idea of "superhuman" feats and statistical outliers that always seem to permeate major sports.

Because sports is just as much entertainment as it is sports. These leagues need someone to be the face of their product in order to draw crowds and make money.

Jordan and the bulls were such a product of the 90s to save the NBA from the end of the lakers-celtics dominated 80s.

Gretkzy, like montana, was part of a super team through with the NHL and NFL built their brands and generated interest in the 80s.

Brady and a bunch of QBs were beneficiaries of the NFL's move toward more passing and increased scoring to generate interest. The NFL found out that most fans love passing and scoring while the few purists loved defense and the running game. So they changed the rules to handicap defenses, especially against the pass. Now every year, we get superhuman passing records being set.

Look at the curry, durant and the golden state warriors today. Beneficiaries of NBA's move to handicap defenses and allow more scoring - which is what NBA fans, especially fans overseas ( particularly china ) like.

The days of the dominant center in the NBA or the running back in NFL is over, until the climate shifts and the they need to rebrand the product.

All these "superhuman" statistics are a result of "sports" + "entertainment". It's partly earned through athletic prowess and it's also manufactured by rules changes, refs "managing" the game, etc.

Was gretzky that much better than messier ( his teammate ) or lemieux as the stats seem to imply? Absolutely not.

Was jordan that much better than pippen ( his teammate ) or dominique wilkins as the stats seem to imply? Absolutely not.

But someone has to be the face of the product the leagues are selling. And the NHL before gretzky and the NBA before jordan was facing problems which was magically solved by gretzky and jordan.
Every time I read this stuff I feel truly privileged. I'm a New Zealand citizen living in Australia. Not only do both countries have universal healthcare, but they have a reciprocal agreement to provide free healthcare to each others citizens.

Australia has bulk-billed doctors and there's no shortage of them. I can book an appointment online for tomorrow, wait for 10 minutes in a waiting room and see a GP for free. I can even choose which GP I want to see. And I'll likely get anything they prescribe me for free as well. Medicare refunds so much money I sometimes feel guilty because I know I can afford it.

My partner has a chronic health condition that resulted in her large intestine being removed and she requires thousands of dollars worth of medication a month, likely for the rest of her life. We've never paid for surgery or medication beyond admin or prescription fees.

I want this for everyone and I pay my taxes gladly. I would pay more for an even better system. You don't have shit if you don't have your health.

The math in that article is based on the assumption that typos are scarce, because that's the situation where it makes sense that you've seen 0 events. If that probability is close to zero, the probability of two typos per page is insignificantly small and can be discarded, and the expected number of typos in the book is approximately equal to the expected number of pages with typos. So in the context of these assumptions it's not necessary to consider this difference.

Just as the article itself states regarding the approximation "Since log(1-p) is approximately –p for small values of p" which relies on discarding p-squared terms as insignificantly small.
I wouldn't think this is a product problem, but a low-hanging fruit technical problem that they can just address it if they had enough demand for this. This is also not a new problem in this space. And it has been done in the past.

You seem to be arguing incredibly uncharitably. I simply said the military planned it and based on the article I posted, I am 100% accurate. It doesn't take away from the military planning that the CIA also had a hand in planning it. I also never said the military led it, the thing you are arguing I did.

Can't you arrange to make medical decisions for each other without being married? Isn't that what an MPOA does? I'm not sure what tax benefits you're looking at but I believe we pay for the right to be married.

From a formal perspective, considering marriage as a (very old) legal and economic arrangement, and stripping it down to its essence (without any of the bullshit about it being a means to bring children into the world or express Judeo-Christian values), marriage is about durable interdependency. You agree to combine assets and opportunities, in order to maximize those opportunities jointly and to bear the costs of misfortune together.

Define marriage as an "at-will" arrangement dispenses with durability. A person in a transient marriage can't reasonably put their spouse through medical school, or help them start a company --- or, for that matter, raise children --- without an onerous set of additional contractual arrangements that would asymptotically approach what marriage already is.

Again: it's totally reasonable to want a long-term at-will relationship, and to seek one out. You don't have to get married.

"We can't do it for free" but you can't just set any price. I dislike doctors and hospitals for never disclosing the service fee or being truthful about their treatments done on the patients, especially the ER ones. They often perform unnecessary procedures and mark up the fees so high to jack up the cost and settle with a bit less which is still ridiculously high.
Can we please stop with the constant barrage of anti-FB posts? This is supposed to be a community for hackers. Many of our friends and colleagues work at Facebook, Google, and other advertisers, those people help build the open source projects we use to run our businesses, go to the same conferences as us, and its asinine to assume that because they choose to work there they've sold out their morals and that Facebook is an irredeemable den of evil. We're already all aware of the issues at Facebook, and that Facebook is working on fixing them. Constantly dragging them through the mud on HN is just going to build a wall instead of promote a dialogue about what they could be doing to improve.
