As a "these-days person" I would generally like doctors with better bed side manners more than anything else.

In Germany, the healthcare system is readily accessible for people who are insured by one of the providers of national health insurance [1]. However, doctors need to process a large amount of patient per day to make ends meet.

Note, I chose the word "process" with intent, because that's what it feels like with 9 out of 10 doctors in Germany's cities nowadays. Go in, have a less than 1min chat about your health, get screened with a medical move set that rivals street food artists in Bangkok, then get a run-of-the-mill answer with little effort to personalize treatment according to your medical history.

The younger the doctors, the more intense is this issue. This isn't because younger doctors are less empathetic or something. The system simply demands this or else. People are more cattle than anything...

Oh and fitting right in with the Instagram fame, young medical professionals are all moving to the fun cities in Germany. Smaller towns and villages are hemorrhaging doctors. They are just not attractive in any way, especially with Germanys catastrophically bad Internet and mobile infrastructure.

They still fingerprint your browser. I hope there are better protections against that but also,things like mobile device details in user agents would no longer be sent to the server.
You don't need to delete anything, simply use the developer version, nightly or an unbranded version. Unbranded is a compile option.

It's not really user hostile either, from what I gather one of the volunteers who check addons has flagged the addon for violating the ToS. They may have had that impression and the author can bring it up elsewhere (there is plenty of contact points for addon authors) or resubmit the addon and see if another volunteer waves it through.

This is a new release of a project we've been working on for a few months. The idea is to allow developers to write a cross-platform app which runs on all major operating systems. Google's Flutter project does this for Android and iOS - we aim to extend this to Windows and macOS.

I agree companies should be punished and held accountable. As an aside, how does one go about punishing the government though?

The point I was making is that everyone should assume their data is already compromised. The weakest link will always be an issue, and in many cases it is one you cannot control - the government.

Helen Levitt's New York – In Pictures 1939-1942
That is incredibly upsetting but was very fascinating to read about. The author handled the situation extremely well after seeing (what seems to be) a major part of their life be "intellectually" taken away from them. Even though they may own the patent, the patent troll will never take away the dedication, work and love poured into this passion project. It definitely should make anyone question the current patent process.
So we can expect it in 2024 then?

Study finds flaw in emergent gravity (phys.org)
It would be better if the payee crafted a cryptogram
for "please pay me (authenticated address) the sum of X"

Are you talking about offline? Because on a website I would expect the payer to simply copy&paste the address.

I would also expect a link type to evolve that browsers understand. Something like "payto:1fs8e...?amount=0.01&coin=btc" to pay 0.01 bitcoin to 1fs8e... Similar to the "mailto:user@host?subject=...&body=..." link type.

An when we talk about offline (paying for a restaurant or something) - isn't there a visual link type already? I am not a user of crypto. But I think I have seen barcodes or something used for this.
These are just some of the reasons patents are fundamentally broken and the patent system as a whole should be scrapped. Another big issue is that, like most any law, enforcing it costs significant money, and that cost scales depending upon who your opponent is. The cost for a little guy to enforce a patent claim against google is vastly out of proportion to the cost of google to enforce a patent claim against a little guy. This means that the patent system ends up being another form of regulatory capture used to squash competition. If we just removed patents, major corporations would be just as free as today to steal from the little guys, but at least they couldn't then weaponize their patents to crush the original inventors.

> If people can't use the disclosures then the system serves virtually no purpose.

That's not quite true - although disclosure is an often argued benefit of the patent system, there are very few inventions that cannot be copied once a working item is in someone's hands, so a formal disclosure is not necessarily required to be able to build upon and extend existing work.

But even without disclosure, when appropriate patents are granted, they can "[secure] for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries" even if the patent library is not useful for research.

No, not the "we store decryption keys on our user facing app servers" part.

The decryption should happen on back-office payment processing server, with the keys held by a hardware security module.

Hello Ty,

Thanks for replying back to my post I apologize for the numerous postings I'm still relatively new on here and learning how this forum structure works here.

I definitely appreciate the advice and insight you provided as to how to go about the application process especially for someone as myself who fits more into the second category and it's also bonus being in the DMV area.

Although the first application category is still quite appealing to give it a try.

I also didn't realize you'd be the one to review applications so that's great to hear.

Do you know by any chance if the qualifications are strictly required or are they a list of items that are strongly preferred to enhance one's application chances? I apologize for all the questions but I would email you but I would imagine this is probably the preferred method of communication..hehe

Once again, thanks for all the help.

I wonder what the latency stats are for each. Bandwidth per second is useful but in my experience latency is the more important statistic for the applications I manage.
It's especially useful when you run into odd scenarios, since customer service will always go an extra mile. I used to have Diamond with Hilton when worked as consultant.

Once I booked a room for 2, and showed up as 3 people, got upgraded with no problem.

Another time I had my hotel rebooked to a different one after I already showed up - (there was nothing particularly bad with the hotel, but I was new to the city & picked location badly).

Even without wrapping, I'm not sure that "it breaks existing callers" is such an awful thing. Yes, it is slightly annoying. And if it was a language like Python, making a function suddenly start returning None is going to silently break existing callers, which is pretty awful. But in a language like Haskell, the compiler will find every broken callsite immediately, and the cleanup needed on the caller side is very straightforward.

All that aside, in my experience the case of parameters becoming optional or return values losing nullability actually does not happen that much in practice. It's a bit of a strawman.

Nothing. Industry secrets is a far better model than giving major corporations access to government power that they can use to crush smaller competition, sometimes for work that they stole from the smaller competition.
Good point. It's a lot harder to say the food was properly distributed if none of the vouchers were used though. Obviously outright stealing is another issue entirely. I think though a lot of the supplies looked like they were getting to the right places, yet people were still starving.
> I'm not sure why anyone would take medical advice from a medical student.

Because it's often free. Getting proper medical advice has a barrier of entry (money) and if someone is on the edge (should I worry about this? It's probably fine but let me check with this person before spending money).

An appointment with my PCP costs me at least $200 (insurance pays for 90% of it only after I max out my spending of over 3k) and a specialist will take at least $400.

I'm lucky for my insurance and my paycheck but I can see how a lot of people would try to avoid paying that $200 especially when they have something kinda like medical advice available for free.

In my opinion It's not the people, it's the high price of medical services.

Two points against it:

The guidelines outright state that "Any add-ons, or add-on content, hosted on Mozilla site(s) must conform to the laws of the United States." The issue is that this addon falls in the murky category of neither being clearly legal nor clearly illegal. I suspect that the addon reviewer (who most likely does not work for Mozilla and is only a community volunteer!) felt that an addon advertising its purpose to get around copyright controls would have pushed it over the edge to illegal, even if it's only taking actions that are themselves legal.

I think you misunderstood there.

Apple's primary aim by limiting the access to the store isn't to make devs miserable, it's to have users trust the app store.

Mozilla's aim is (likely) the same. If a user finds an addon in Mozilla's addon store, then Mozilla wants the user to fully trust that this addon will not violate their privacy in unexpected ways or install malware on their computer or otherwise interfere with them.

Similarly, Apple spends a lot of money on making sure the PR image of the app store is clean. People should be able to fully trust Apple's app store, in Apple's opinion.

That doesn't mean there won't be addons you don't like, it just means that malicious behavior is not allowed. If the user doesn't like it they can remove it without consequence.

AFAIK, all tracking (in both Brave and Flattr) happens locally on your device.

Some level of tracking _is_ strictly necessary for a system like this, because otherwise there's no way for the system to know which sites to give your money to.

I notice sure, but that doesn't mean all of the x million people who've just had their cards stolen will.

Also not all of the cardholders will be online customers, so they'll have the delights of call center processes to go through.

I suppose the silver lining is that this patent is essentially worthless for the intellectual thief Jill Mackay. Given all the prior art, I'm guessing it would be hard to enforce, but I can definitely see Jill pulling some patent troll moves in the future.

The real stinker in this whole story is how Jill Mackay had the balls to try to sell the patent back to Jie for $5MM. Totally shameful and by a fellow "artist" no less.

"What I wanted was to write full-time. Or, rather, I wanted writing to be my main mode of being in and engaging with the world. But I hadn’t simply awakened one morning and decided this. Up until that point, I had been writing part-time for some-30 years, snatching what time I could during weekends and vacation. I had accumulated a modest publication history: a national award for a short story at age 10; a short story and a poem in a children’s print magazine at age 14; two short stories and five literary essays in an online magazine by age 29; an essay in a print anthology at age 30. From my mid-20s to my mid-30s, I had also worked on my craft through several writing courses and workshops at a couple of well-known Midwestern universities and one semester at a low-residency MFA before assorted factors led to my dropping out."
