HMOs fail most often on mental health from anecdotes of friends on them. They force you through only one provider who may be qualified or not, and you get a "permanent record" which can actually really hurt your care in the future. If Jill the ARNP says you were awful and maybe faking a sympton, and she has lunch with a bunch of other doctors in the cafeteria, you're gonna get treated like crap.
Is this some management 101 "best practice"? My manager does this and it is annoying. Facial expressions are an important part of communication and acting like an emotionless robot does not help in times of need.
A native app with no server backend is the same as a web application with no server backend. In that case you really just need to put those static web files into an S3 bucket and route a domain to it. The cost is very low for this.
Except it’s now highly scalable that is taking care of branching performance. Nothing technically making it difficult to branch afaik. In fact rapid (grape) used it pretty heavily to track rollouts if I remember correctly.
My own sense is that the religions of the world are mostly in agreement about the following things:

* renunciation of self

* acceptance of the world / reality, including suffering

* love of mankind

* love of the gift of life

Religion as an institution, however, is something different than the "message" contained within the sacred texts or traditions of religions (lower-case r).

Some religion attracts fanatics, those who believe "We are right and everyone else is wrong." Within that statement there is a marked absence of acceptance, love of mankind, love of life.

There is also spiritual pride, which is more subtle. In Christ's parable of the pharisee and the publican, we see the publican, who prays in all humility for God's mercy, and the pharisee, who thanks God that he is better than the publican. And many Christians reading that parable will think, "and thank God I'm not like the pharisee"!
I agree. In many cases, don't start with either (app or site). In other cases (or in cases where you've grown up to the point of needing an app or site), start with one that is right for your user.

Thanks, that's a very interesting way to interpret it and seems to make sense to me. I was wondering if that was the objective of the yacht representation, since that seemed an otherwise contrived example.

I think it's fair to say that some consumptive activities are value positive, some are value neutral, and some are value negative for society as a whole. A yacht may in fact be value negative, but it doesn't mean every action where a person who holds some wealth purchases a thing to consume it is value negative.
Possibly the most complex and mechanically beautiful action in a gun, with a chamber that rotates from vertical to horizontal, coupled with caseless ammunition.

Sadly, after a couple of decades of development, it was never quite enough of an advancement to make it into military service anywhere.

Scenic (https://fuchsia.googlesource.com/garnet/+/master/docs/ui/sce...) is similar to the UI compositor in Android, macOS, Windows.

No different than using the UI toolkit of choice, while the window manager takes care of window decorations, OS input events and what have you.

Just push the window contents into the scene graph using Fuchsia IPC.

While I agree on your point, your comment made me smile as I’m reading HN using a mobile app
Ask HN: Should You Do Something Extra to Get a Job?
Hey HN,

I've been interviewing/applying for about 5 months now and I figure it's time to start re-evaluating HOW I am applying.

I watched a TED talk of a guy who read a companies IPO prospectus and created a website that included four new feature ideas. He clearly went above and beyond in the interview process to get the job. Is that how people are getting hired these days?

Anyone have any other examples? Maybe ones less time intensive? ;)
Reddit lives on ad revenue. Mobile web reddit is not in fact incredibly optimal which is why a bunch of third party apps exist. These third party apps make it impossible to show ads save for promoted posts which people don't seem to like. Thus the official reddit app.

I prefer "Reddit is Fun" which seems to load faster than mobile web reddit and notify me on comment replies.
On top that, most LIDAR units I’ve seen have been quite bulky which would make designing a sexy looking vehicle around it near impossible. One of Tesla’s goals and main selling points is making “normal” looking cars instead of space bugs and in its present state, LIDAR integration would go against that.
"Don't be evil" was always meaningless corporate spiel.

It's like "we value your privacy" or "all natural ingredients", it means nothing because you can define the terms anyway you like.

Defining meaning is really hard.

That's why English Common Law relies on precedence to fix details. "Codes of Conduct", mission statements and advertising are all just meaningless fluff because they are open to interpretation.
This is super interesting. Something I've started doing on a smaller level. I've already made good progress on managing my emotional state (thus productivity) and want to improve the habit. When do you schedule to write or log? Specific times in a day? If you had a template I'd assume it would include mood tracking and todo list, anything else? Thanks for sharing this.
Cadillac Super Cruise is limited to select roads only, their site states 130,000 miles of mapped highways. The Tesla system, I am only referring to EAP, works on any road it can find lines. Having used it the hardest part wasn't in trusting to keep in the lane but stopping. However that part is true with a traffic aware cruise control system.

is it flawless, no, but it does work in conditions I didn't find fun driving in. An example was two lane highway, at night, in the rain, with enough jokers with badly aimed lights or not dimming their lights. It did very well and let me feel confident looking away from the road if the oncoming car's lights were too bright.

I did not buy the FSD suite, I don't have a desire for that level of autonomy and I am not confident anyone will pull it off soon. I mean I have seen examples where they map it all but that isn't the same.
>A vast majority of people in the US rely on their cars daily

This keeps baffling me. Why don't we just build far denser cities?
Credit specialist
My husband was fighting cancer and it almost crucified us, I needed my credit cleaned so I can get a place to live with my family. I had repos, late payments, bankruptcy, judgments was filed and I needed someone to help me without scamming me because it was my family I wanted the housing for. I decided to narrow my search to a trusted credit site (redit and trulia), luckily for me, I found several good reviews on CYBER DON a trusted credit repair specialist. I contacted him on; CYBERDON212@GMAIL.COM, +1 205 686 3778 and after discussing the process, we got started. He raised my score, posted good tradelines on my report, and deleted the bankruptcy and the judgments. All late payments appeared as on time payment and he effected the changes across all 3 credit bureaus.
“Love, Money, and More”
I don't believe this is correct. If you want to change lanes, you engage the turn signal, Supercruise will show blue light. The blue light denotes Super cruise is paused while you change lanes. After you've changed lanes yourself, you wait for the light to glow blue again so Supercruise can resume.

Here is a video from Cadillac showing your statement is false: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rxW68ADldI&t=0m39s

Tesla will speed up or slow down and change lanes automatically. This is not the same. Also, Supercruise is only enabled in very limited circumstances. You can use autopilot anywhere even if it isn't officially recommended.
Ok, let's wrap this up since I don't believe you're actually interested in making an argument but in writhing out of whatever corner you've decided to plant your flag in. This is a thing you said:

"But I can always fall back on the fact that to prove that there are no security holes in iOS you would have to solve the halting problem"

This is not a serious argument. You can say it about anything and declare up-front that no matter what, you're going to be 'right'. It would be mildly amusing in a dorm room chat around a bong. It's an embarrassment to say it in full seriousness and then indignantly point at your CS PhD. Now you won't even admit you even made it. The (now-distant) sibling comment is right - even in the unlikely event we moved past this, your next Atlantic Wall would be Penrose quantum consciousness.
Truly curing it would mean that. But you've still beaten the addiction if you can stay away, and beating the addiction is by far the important part for your health.
For me, the first of the two most interesting points in this account was largely missing: Why exactly did Lord Bellomont turn against Captain Kidd?

The 2nd most interesting point: From Captain Kidd's point of view, and looked at objectively, Captain Kidd was an innocent man! He was carrying out a legitimate privateer commission! He had documents supporting this, but the facts and those documents were suppressed by rich and powerful people. In a way, Captain Kidd was killed by fake news, and his reputation to this day is still affected.
I'd be willing to bet you're right, but I'd also be willing to bet if we go out there playing it loose and fast like Timothy Leary, not much will change, and that would be a damn shame. Just because the risks are low, doesn't mean people shouldn't be educated to the risks, as I'm sure you'd agree, good education on entheogens helps create the foundation for the most important aspects of set and setting. I'm not trying to be a pedantic asshat, I genuinely believe statements like "No user of this product has ever harmed anyone else as a result of using it" are not helpful. Peace. <3

Humans don't need LIDAR, but we rely on the massive amount of compute power available to us in our brains and a variety of other sensory inputs that go beyond simple vision. Of course, we're easily distracted, which is one reason why we aren't perfect drivers.

I really believe you can make a vision+radar only self driving car, but not without a lot of compute power. LIDAR just makes it easier. Will HW3 be enough? Probably for a lot of scenarios, but it's definitely not going to be level 4/5 anytime soon.
Is there any evidence the FTC is going after the advertisers and platforms (youtube, twitch, etc) themselves? It seems purposefully ineffective to play whack-a-mole with individuals when the driving force is a multi-billion dollar industry built around avoiding disclosure.
What is especially frustrating that many sites don’t allow Mailinator and other similar ‘one-time’ email systems to be used for registering an account. No way I am going to give you my email address up front before seeing the product.

Now the solution is of course to have a separate gmail account to register. Most sites still allow user+site@gmail.com address syntax so that I can sometimes see who are leaking where.

I would be curious to know if there is some credible A/B testing showing that for a relatively unknown new product blocking Mailinators and it’s kin somehow results as a better conversion?
Sure but at least you see a tangible product being sold.In this case, all they are selling here are "prizes" from a slot machine with no odds or verifiability that the product even exists. The most outrageous example was a $250 million home in LA (had a description going along the lines of "The most valuable real estate in the city). It's obvious that no one is going to win this and it is just a picture placed there to trick people.

It's amazing that you have people with over 1 million subs taking this money when there are so many red flags. Then again some of these are just young kids who only care about cash and are fine selling out their young impressionable audience.

If you watch any of these videos it is so obviously rigged, they "win" a bunch of prizes off screen such as high end nike shoes and computers (on screen they get low tier prizes like random shoes or ear buds) and have it delivered in unmarked boxes immediately in the next scene.

I expect some form of federal intervention in this case because it's absolutely insane from a simple cursory glance how brazen this is.
That's very true. But again I think it's a different type of game. Very few people, in my experience, spend much time exploring Minecraft for the sake of exploration.

The genius of Minecraft is that it's a vast canvas for you to shape, not an interesting world to study. The purely procedurally generated world that it generates are fun to build on they just aren't that interesting after you've experienced it for a bit.
I wish I could find the hour-long, audio-only interview with him I listened to years ago. They basically talked through his whole career starting from learning to program.

The striking part was the repeated theme for each of his companies: He built a company and a team within. They had success and a subsequent buyout offer. He'd take the money and start a new company. But, his old team at the previous one really liked working with him. So, they'd all migrate over to the new company. He rinse-and-repeated this at least three times.
I normally use firefox too, maybe I accidentally opened the link in chrome last night. I don't have my phone around to test. I just remember thinking "ahh that's kind of neat" before clicking no.
You do have a point that this kind of data is, in fact, collected by mass government surveillance.

I don't think the reverse holds, though. Politicians will not end up understanding private people's concerns over surveillance, because to them it's something else entirely. One is a frivolous attack on the individual, the other is a more abstract policy goal for the Good Cause™. I'm not saying this line of thought is legitimate, but instead that I have the strong suspicion this will not be interpreted as a message for "Datensparsamkeit" by the powers that be.

I'm also wary of the argument that they "deserve" it. A lot of people who have nothing to do with said decisions were targeted, and maybe even some who opposed surveillance. The notion that "politicians" "deserve" to have their private data exposed by virtue of being politicians is Sippenhaft — collective punishment.
The owners like to think of themselves as the decision-making elite of the country, and the White House flatters that delusion by giving them illusion of being consulted. This creates sympathy for the WH's views at the top of the NYT, and that attitude percolates implicitly to the editors.
They couldn't be leaked, they would be in the hands of the people. The government only needs a public key.

Every person i've ever met that's quit an addiction has never thought of themselves as cured. They may not partake in they're substance of choice any more but they've all still called themselves addicts and think about their substances still.

As far as the counting the days thing I think I agree with you on that. A couple years ago a friend of mine was struggling to quit their drug addiction. For almost a year they would count the days or weeks between the times they 'fucked up' as my friend called it. In the end after some pretty bad things happening and a few times almost losing their life. My friend got serious about it and they've been over a year now clean. The thing is this time my friend hasn't been counting the days or thinking about how long it's been. They've just been getting on trying to rebuild their life and avoiding the people and things that used to be part their addiction and I think it's made a big difference.
The problem with readiness-based IO for disk is that without starting the request it doesn't know where it needs to read on the disk to fetch, so it can't possibly tell you if the data's ready. If you were to limit file IO to streaming rather than random-access it could potentially work, but that's not the POSIX interface. Since pipes and sockets are streams they don't have this issue.

I'm not defending the suckiness of the AIO situation on Linux, but I understand why it is to some extent.

Hi all,
Are there any open source systems for Hospitals or Emergency rooms or anything related to Health Care management?
please share if you know of anything like that. I was searching a bit but i thought let me also ask just in case
Thanks

Edit:
use case is for a smal ER in my town, might extend further if it would work well, it would be nice if the systems had the chance to connected between the town, but isolation is fine as well, tracking patients, numbers of patients
Usually people buy old servers instead of building supermicro. You can pick up an R610/R710 for $2-300 and even the newer R620/R720 for $3-400.

As long as you doing mind the noise + power they're not a bad deal.

Is there a review platform that isn’t full of manipulation? It seems like it’s just a broken model, it provides all the wrong incentives, and leads to constant manipulation, on all sides.

The only recommendations I follow, are from people I’ve met. In person. It could be a stranger, ask the guy making coffee, what’s the best park around here? Where should I go for lunch?

The response will be honest. And you can take it or leave it.
>There is no Open Source Business Model.

Careful about universal claims. https://vcvrack.com/ is an open-source business model and it works great for me.
To be clear, the auto-scaling with provisioned capacity still lags behind demand quite a bit. The new on-demand pricing makes this a non-issue but you pay for it at much higher cost at any sort of sustained load. https://serverless.com/blog/dynamodb-on-demand-serverless/ has a good breakdown of when to use on-demand vs provisioned capacity.
A fashion magazine is sort of like walking into a market or bazaar. Part of the reason for being there is to see all the interesting things people are trying to sell to you.

It's slightly different than what's going on here, which might be more akin to the interesting conversation you struck up with the stranger on the bus getting awkward around for third or fourth time them mention how much they like their new jacket, which is both stylish and waterproof.

That's not to say it's all one or the other. Fashion magazines have advertising masquerading as editorial content also, I'm sure, but I imagine most people are expecting their being pitched some product most the time while reading the magazine.
This what I do: all writes go to Dynamo and it replicates to ES for querying/filtering. It's the best of both worlds for operational stuff, IMHO, although still not perfect for ad-hoc querying like SQL.
Sometimes the people in charge fuck up?

They're running a streak of fuck-ups and while different parties run different ideas, I want none of the current politicians running a country.

The problem is, that there is no "sack the heads of all parties and start new without those problematic persons so we can get a new start" option to vote for.

But yes, the typical person does not care...

On the other hand, the government will always stay them. They purely live off work others do. They have no incentive to improve since they do not need to generate income, they simply "take" what they need from the rest of the population.

Any kind of streamlining or efficiency improvement will just kill jobs of their political buddies.
> I don't see how you could be so certain that computers need to

We're nowhere close to emulating what goes on in a human brain... neural networks are an absurdly simplified approximation of simple life-forms... it took the
K supercomputer (having 705,024 cores and 1.4 Petabytes of RAM) 40 minutes to emulate 1 second of 1 percent of human brain activity.[1]

Since we cannot come close to sensory input processing a human can do... we need to augment our systems with better sensors. LIDAR is a better sensor, and can help "see" things that would otherwise go missed.

> you get it working without LIDAR and make boatloads of money

And why can't you make "boatloads of money" while using LIDAR? Killing people is bad for business... no?

Before you jump on it, no LIDAR is no silver bullet... but it's available technology that can help quite a bit. Why not use it? Unless you've overpromised what your price point will be for technology that is yet to exist?
