Your team should see you as a leader who is available, dependable and is providing them space.

You shouldn't see yourself as a "manager" right from day one but gradually in your mind shift into a managerial mode.

Shameless plug - I got obsessed on how great teams get built and run. I started a podcast and the very first episode I got recorded was "How to transition from Individual Contributor to a Manager".

Would appreciate feedback and also any names to the ones I can approach for a guest

Naltrexone is an amazing medication!

Two things to note about it though.

One, it’s not a quick fix. It works by inhibiting the pleasure response of alcohol. Therefore, it takes a very long time (a few months) for the brain to become re-conditioned and not associate alcohol with pleasure. During this time, one will continue to drink, but the desire to drink should gradually wane.

Two, it has a very short half-life. Therefore, it’s very easy for the brain to trick itself into not taking it. I have seen many people ‘accidently’ forget to take it before drinking. And, since the goal is to re-train thr brain, this really defeats the purpose.

Anyway, I recommend it to all of my friends. Unfortunately, it’s not well-known, so I only discovered it after doing my own research. And, then, I had to seek out doctors that even knew about it.
Yes, the first case is done: https://www.welivesecurity.com/2018/11/27/german-chat-site-f...

The question is probably if it is state of the art to encrypt passport numbers. If yes, then Marriot could be fine with a similiar argument of "the company knowingly violated its duty to ensure data security".
In an ideal world, few craftsmen would beat more handymen's asses regularly so they take the things that matter seriously. So how do we get VC to align with this?

EDIT: What's wrong with codecademy? See, figuring things out in a way that efficiently translates human ideas to machine processes isn't straight forward and usually involves multiple attempts. Which means, I, as a craftsman, need to be pointed to shortcomings of what I do multiple times to arrive at the ideal solution. Whether I studied what I'm doing in college actually has less to do with this process, though, and more with my own humility towards my own craft.
> raising taxes on the rich eventually costs the government revenue by discouraging work. The latest economic research suggests that this is true — but only if you raise the top tax rate higher than (approximately) 70 percent.

Why is maximizing government revenue a good idea? Shouldn't the government be encouraging private sector activity and encouraging people to do as much socially valuable work as possible?

Of course, not all income comes from activities that are socially valuable, and we'd do well to eliminate the harmful activities, but taxes aren't the way to do that. Taxes are a scythe that cuts down both the wheat and the weeds. I'd like to see the government focus on weedkiller policies and let the wheat grow.
Are there any facilities that map all or most of those areas to full diagnostics of a person and try to mitigate the aging effects from chronic issues?

The reason I ask is that hospitals only deal with acute issues, based on my experience and seldom have the time, technology, experience or willingness to diagnose chronic issues, much less reverse them.

The closest to this I have found are functional medicine clinics, but they don't even scratch the surface of most of the areas your link mentions. Most of them just look at diet, genetics and gut health.

You asked how the chart 'addresses' the question, not how it unambiguously proves single-payer will save US healthcare - if that's your standard, I'm afraid I, nor anyone else, can meet it.

And it has life expectancy, infant mortality, and preventable deaths - I guess they're all poor comparisons?

Finally, the Swiss system is private only by the standard that insurance companies are privately owned. If you look at how they must operate, and how patients pay for insurance, it's practically government run. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healthcare_in_Switzerland : "private health insurance is compulsory", "covers a range of treatments detailed in the Swiss Federal Law on Health Insurance", "not allowed to make a profit off this basic insurance, but can on supplemental plans", "The insured person pays the insurance premium for the basic plan up to 8% of their personal income. If a premium is higher than this, the government gives the insured person a cash subsidy to pay for any additional premium".
This is the most common reaction I've heard over the years to that book. Perhaps because it's jammed down everyone's throats in high school English classes. Perhaps it's the coming of age book of a certain generation, which feels wrong to the next that takes all its observations for granted.

I didn't get it either, why this book is so beloved of literature teachers.

This is a very important point. Individuals should be able to censor aspects of their own medical records. It's not just mental illness. Getting regularly tested for STDs/AIDS or having evidence that could be interpreted as a pre-existing condition are other aspects of a person's medical history that can cause problems with potential employers or insurers.
Why should they pay more? I haven't seen data otherwise, and I would be happy to admit that I am wrong, but what additional use of public goods and services that are funded by taxes do people making $10M+ use more than other people at the rate described?

If their use of public goods and services are greater that people making less money, is that use at a rate that would justify taking 70% of their income? Sincerely curious....
It's the 95% latency that kills you.

I have seen so many people make an app that is blazing fast at the office (either on a LAN or w/ a fast connection to the cloud) that ends up horrible for many end users. Sometimes the people who made the app don't even know.

So this was your response if I recall our prior discussion correctly:

> This is simply untrue.

> There's too much wrong with your link to debunk it. It's almost entirely wrong. Mostly, there is a different QALY threshold applied when drugs are used for people with life expectancy of under 24 months, and also they're using an unsourced value for QALYs.

"There's too much wrong with your link to debunk it" isn't much for me to go on to change my assessment of the story.

Moreover, I don't think any of your assertions can change the result, for several reasons:

1) The BBC article I linked to says: "NICE aims to spend less than £20,000 to £30,000 per Qaly. That is not a hard limit; it will go almost twice as high for end-of-life drugs."

You say that "there is a different QALY threshold applied when drugs are used for people with life expectancy of under 24 months."

But if life expectancy is under 24 months, the total amount NHS spends is correspondingly limited, even if the per-year threshold is higher. Even if NHS would pay 60,000 pounds per QALY for end-of-life care, with a 2-year life expectancy, you're not coming close to the $500,000 the U.S. insurance company paid.

2) My estimate is conservative to begin with. The course of treatment actually cost more than $500,000 (the lady paid hundreds of thousands of dollars during the two-year period after exceeding the lifetime limit). I also estimated British costs at half of U.S. costs. But if most of the costs in this situation were due to drugs subject to a higher QALY limit, the that would be an overly conservative assumption, since cutting-edge cancer drugs aren't half the price in the U.K. as in U.S. (while services may be).

In this particular case, probably over 500,000 pounds was spent to extend this person's life by maybe a year if that. I don't think anything you've provided suggests that NHS would have spent that much, or even the 400,000 pounds the U.S. insurance company actually spent.

I also don't understand your point about my "assumptions." I'm not assuming expensive treatment is good treatment. I'm saying expensive treatment is what people want, and U.S. insurance companies are willing to pay for it, and NHS is much less willing to pay for it. That's my point. Here in the U.S., the outrage is why the insurance company didn't pick up the tab for the other couple of hundred thousand dollars. Nobody is willing to suggest that maybe we do what the NHS would have done, and deny such expensive treatment for someone with such a bad prognosis.
My personal guess is even more far-fetched but I think the ratio between useful and useless native apps reached 1/100 very, VERY fast after the industry successfully implemented wiring money as a feature. That was the one thing, even bigger than successfully implementing ads.

Aviation has moved on a bit since Boeing was founded over 100 years ago, and their client base is looking for any potential vendor to be the precise opposite of "scrappy". To put things into perspective, nearly all airlines outside Russia and China find proven, modern, thoroughly-tested and performant airframes from state-funded Russian and Chinese conglomerates with very attractive pricing and financing a bit too "scrappy" in terms of the available ongoing support for operations to even consider. A new entrant is going to need to spend $20bn+ to get a single aircraft ready, and they they're going to need to sell a couple of hundred to get close to breaking even.

> They put that money to work so that they can earn some interest

They put the money in things that will generate the highest return. The government will (hopefully) put the money in things that will benefit people, even if they don't have an especially high ROI in the short term.

I am not at all confident in the ability of capitalism to save the environment, for example.
> I read that there was some kind of grace period involving GDPR penalties.

I think you're imagining much larger rewrites.

A system such as Gmail is composed of many smaller parts. If one of those parts was written years prior for a world that has since changed, it may be accruing technical debt as it's continually extended to fit new requirements. An occasional rewrite helps address this type of decay.

Without the rewrite you may find yourself 10 years later with a system that's both critical and kludgy, and at that point the rewrite will be a much larger project.
More like, if a car is caught in a pile-up accident, it is both guilty of hitting the car ahead and victim of being hit by the next car. If he was pushed by the back car into the front car, and took all necessary precautions, he can call for a kind of force majeure and make the back car pay for both, but the agressor has to be formally identified. Mariott didn’t take enough precautions to pretend being victim of a hacker.
non-benign cancer = invasive tumor. people with invasive tumors rarely die of other causes which are not correlated.

anyway, I don't think anybody in the serious scientific community believes that a cancer-only research program would have a huge impact on longevity and instead, most people advocate for a portfolio with roughly 70% spent across cardiovascular and cancer, and the rest on other causes.
Developers don't want to pay that's true.. I hate a adopting a anything I can't setup myself or get cheap with a pay-as-you-go model.

But as soon as I'm deploying anything in a corporate setting, I would always prefer to pay rather than asking IT to setup and maintain a service. Or worse do it myself..

The combination is good. Because I would rarely try out something I couldn't run myself. But I would also never put it into production.

From the article, "'The half-life of caffeine is five to seven hours,' says Brian St. Pierre, director of performance nutrition at Precision Nutrition."

So if they drink some 30 minutes before a ~2.5 hr game, they've got 3 hours post-game. Which seems reasonable: an hour for interviews / meetings, some travel, settling in, then normal sleep.

At the NBA level, they're definitely not deficient on post-game recovery and nutrients either.

I worked for Marriott for a long time (on the tech side). They have no distain for computer science, it's not "run by business majors", and there is no shortage of security experts. They were one of the more on the ball technology and security operations _for a company of that age and size and legacy_. The company as a whole placed huge focus, resources and energy on information security from well before I joined - it was one of the most risk averse groups I've worked for.

The incident took place on the Starwood network (they bought starwood, a completely separate company with completely separate infrastructure), and this issue was discovered post acquisition and during the long running integration program (starwood had 2 breaches previously, so I guess it's not surprising). From what I've seen, if it wasn't for the controls implemented as part of the integration which formed part of Marriott's standard risk-averse approach to security generally, it probably wouldn't have been found for another 4 years.

It's complicated, and 99% of the "damn fool corporates and their evil ways!" comments are completely off the mark because they don't have the context.

The reality is that integrating another business is unbelievable difficult. Managing the (now significantly higher) infosec risks more so. You inherit a landscape with monsters you don't know about, and you still have to own whatever pops out. It's a really, really bad thing to have happened - make no mistake. And in time, the full story will out and opinions can be reached based on facts. Maybe they did screw it up. Maybe they could have done stuff differently. I don't think it's like equifax with a clear cut cause and effect, but a reasonably complicated ecosystem steeped in legacy systems opaque dependencies that is really hard to change.

It seems to be this generally accepted thing that whenever there is a huge breach, some people (aside from the person doing the breaching) have been utterly negligent, ignored all the obvious and really quite simple (I mean, just encryption all the things, amirite? duh!) and should be rounded up and shot at dawn. Perhaps - just perhaps - it's something that wasn't a result of negligence, and just wasn't foreseen because hard stuff is hard. Hindsight really does create the most impressive armchair strategists.

(no, I don't still work there. I left a few years ago. no, I don't think they're perfect. no, I don't think all corporations are evil incarnate looking to steal our data, only some of them.)
This is true, but the interaction between the doctor and the nurse was invaluable. The context of those orders and the nurse's knowledge of the patient were used to come up with a plan together. Reducing that interaction to "order giver" and "order taker" greatly reduces the quality of patient care. I was recently in the hospital for a week and this was an issue several times.

> "You can pay attention and keep your hands on the wheel."

In that sense these Level 2 systems are a lot like q-tips. The box says you shouldn't stick them in your ear, but everybody knows that's what you buy them for. If everybody were to follow the directions, the consumer desirability of the product would plummet.

Even though you're not supposed to take your hands off the wheel, level 2 systems are often referred to as "hands off". And during a 60 Minutes interview Elon Musk is seen taking his hands off the wheel. Unofficially the point of Level 2 automation is that you can take your hands off the wheel. Officially, your hands must remain on the wheel. The unofficial usecase is what actually gets consumers enthusiastic, but the official usecase is what companies like Tesla cover their ass with.

They're having their cake and eating it too.
> That's irrelevant. It doesn't matter that making a fat client for HN isn't necessary; that's completely beside the point.

If that's your take then you've completely missed the whole point. The functionalities made available to mobile applications are the reason why they exist. Developers don't work on mobile applications for the sake of working on mobile applications. They are paid to develop clients that take advantage of the features made available through a specific type of platform. Otherwise their customers wouldn't be spending their cash looking for specialized technical solutions.

> You're looking for reasons to ignore the stated premise of an analogy rather than accepting that the premise would be true.

The premise is patently false, and you're just complaining that others noticed the premise is false.

> It's like this. Say you were beginning to explain how network services work with an anecdote: "Say you need to go to the market to get a carton of milk." Suddenly your listener stops you and says, "But I don't like milk."

No, it's like you've missed the whole point along with all the reasons why your network service does not work, and instead of acknowledging all the holes in your reasoning you've decided to complain that someone found flaws.
> Why should they pay more? I haven't seen data otherwise, and I would be happy to admit that I am wrong, but what additional use of public goods and services that are funded by taxes do people making $10M+ use more than other people at the rate described?

Your mental model of taxes is wrong, or at least unconventional.

Taxes aren't a bill for public services personally consumed. For instance, we don't charge poor welfare recipients more tax because they use more services, and to do so would be nonsensical. Taxes typically also serve an economic leveling function.

You seem to be responding to something other than the post yours is attached to, but:

> Robbing someone of 70% of their income is way more aggravating and profoundly totalitarian than a simple progressive tax.

A 70% top marginal rate isn't taxing (much less “robbing”) 70% of your income, unless your income is literally infinite.

Also, the top marginal rate was at or above 70% for every year from 1936 through 1980, yet for some reason those 44 years aren't usually considered a “profoundly totalitarian” period in US history.
