The problem as I understand it though is that they aren't allowed to quit in the current situation. So if they take a second job to make ends meet they would be forced into fraud (a crime) or admit they didn't work when legally required to (a crime)[1]. Of course maybe the work they are taking is under the table, which I didn't think of till now.

Pushing updates without going through the app store has been allowed by Apple as long as the assets being updated are not binary code; specifically CSS, HTML, and JavaScript are okay (I wonder whether WebAssembly will be considered "binary" or not... will be interesting to see). I convinced a former employer to abandon their Xamarin-built app and switch to Ionic (Cordova with nice, fancy UI additions) specifically because they could push updates to the app without going through the app store. Officially (unless things changed?) the Google Play store says this isn't allowed but there is no review process with Google Play so publishing a new app and then pushing an update for the previous version won't likely get you in trouble. If someone HAS been busted by the Google Play cops for this it would be news to me.

no, I don't see we are in Europe locked in apple ecosystem, we use WhatsApp/messenger over here, nobody really user imessage, seem like some protection of american using archaic SMS or imessage

as for WeChat again wrong, THE map app it's Baidu maps, for shipping you have Taobao and JD, not WeChat, same for watching TV shows, same for short funny videos, same for other social stuff, same for games

you are overstating significance of WeChat, yes it has monopoly in messaging and social networking plus significant majority in payments over Alipay but that's it, other uses drop a lot and don't hold so during foothold over other apps
It is possible that two occurrences of the same motif can overlap.
And
It is possible that two different motifs can overlap.
Lets see both cases, in string analogs. We will start with the second case, using an example from John Cleese…

“…itself…and hence the very meaning of life itselfish bastard, I'll kick him… selfish…”
Here there is a motif “itself” and there is a motif “selfish”. Note that one occurrence of each motif appears overlapping in “itselfish”.
---
Now for the first case:
“….soihsehihrhewCOMICOMICireoqiwwherhqwe…”

Here we have a motif “COMIC”, but they share a letter, the central ‘C’. We can allow motifs to share more letters, but they cannot share ALL letters, that would be a trivial match.

The matrix profile has a simple parameter (the exclusion zone) that lets you control how much overlap you want to allow.

Not true. A massive amount was wasted, but useful services were delivered as part of that £13bn, such as N3, PACS and the Spine.
We also know (from actual tests of the system even, not just from people like me claiming it) that people get through with stuff also.

So now you are saying we have a system where sometimes they catch you and they just take the stuff as part of a system where sometimes you just get through with your stuff... so there is no penalty to having some people try over and over again... if the goal is to actually stop stuff getting through then this is all pointless.
If Medicare overpays, then the entire system is really broken. The reason you see fewer and fewer private doctors hanging a shingle for a private practice is because you can't break even. Those that do, don't accept medicare, many don't even accept insurance anymore. They can't take medicare because they'd operate at a loss. They don't take insurance because they're a pain to work with and don't like to pay.

How are you not describing the ACA system? The ACA makes health insurance compulsory (not as effectively as the Swiss system, to be sure), mandates a minimum health plan (quite effectively, and quite similarly to the LAMal), guarantees issuance, and prices through community rating, the same way the Swiss system does. US spending on health insurance is 6% of income, 8% if you include expenditures outside insurance.

I'm not arguing the US system is better or even close to as good as the Swiss system. We have a lot of problems, and overpay flagrantly. I'm saying the Swiss have a system that closely resembles ours (unsurprisingly, since ours is patterned on theirs) and theirs appears to work. That tells me our problems are orthogonal to the issue of private versus public insurance.

I think the weak penalties for not carrying insurance are a serious problem with our system, but you are going to have a difficult argument to make if you want to attribute the hundreds of billions of dollars we overspend in health care to just that factor, or even significantly to that factor.

Wealth accumulated by shrewd grain arbitrage represents the the noble reallocation of value to where it's most needed, but wealth accumulated by someone else by building and selling yachts to me represents selfish evil waste?

The wood etc. that goes into a yacht could be put to better uses, but the water, fertilizer and land that goes into a sack of grain could find no possible better use?

There is no axiom that reconciles these contradictions better than the obvious one: Transactions, and wealth, have no inherent morality. Make any claim beyond that, and you are going to have to resort to the hand-wavy fallaciousness of a disclaimer-ridden argument.
"Reduces the symptoms of autism" isn't what you'd naively think it is. Autism symptoms are often more accurately described as "the sorts of things autistic people do while distressed." In other words, I suspect that the main effect is stress reduction of some sort, rather than autism reduction.

It is almost impossible that after the acquisition things will not change. But how and how rapidly is hard to generalize and depends on the people involved on both sides. You learn a lot even.

That said, you seems excited by the offer. Unless you have a competitive offer that you feel at least half as excited (or you are willing to look for one), I would not be too doubtful. What is the worst that can happen to you?

You make a false choice between "congresspeople and their friends" and "someone shrewd enough to be making $10m/yr"

Not all congresspeople are corrupt and not all those making $10m/yr are shrewd. These are classic government-bad capitalism-good strawmen.

Personally, I doubt most of the folks capable of spending/investing $10m/yr are actually making that money themselves.

In that case I would prefer the semblance of accountability I get from Uncle Sam instead of the supposed benevolence of random individuals spending money that fell in their laps.

This goes back to the central thesis of the article: that interference from non-physicians (i.e. insurers, billers) are destroying the usefulness of notes.

Physicians are bound by both a professional duty and oath as well as legal liability to keep your medical information in the strictest of confidence. But it is nearly impossible to know in advance when a particular piece of medical information will become important for the treatment of a patient. Hiding it because of concerns about insurance or employment is not a solution--it's an indication that insurance and employment have undue influence on or access to a professional record.
I'd argue that this is partly a philosophical argument: what do we mean when we say “the wild”? None of the feral animals listed, with the possible exception of feral pigs, could survive if humans hadn't killed off the major predator species. There are wild cattle where I grew up, cows that escaped one of the local farms. But there are no wolves or mountain lions, which in a true natural state would, I suspect, would take them down in short order.

So to be generous to the OP, he might have a point.
My suggestion: don't. From personal experience, the founding team is given an 'earn-out', i.e., they get cash for sticking around for a fixed number of years (~2 yrs). Executives get set stiff targets in revenue growth, DAUs/MAUs etc. by the acquirer.

Once the earn-out period ends, the founding team will typically ride off into the sunset (or, more typically, found another company), leaving the rest of the company in disarray.

If the smaller company is run as an independent company and the acquirer is not in the same business, then you should strongly consider other options.

Regarding RSUs: They are still paper money. Unless the acquirer is already publicly traded, you will still be left waiting for an exit event to convert your RSUs into cash.

There are a lot of variables here, and any number of them can lead to a zero-return scenario for you. If you are hoping to make money, you will be disappointed.

> If it was hard to get people to test drive your app, then 90% of app installs would not be test runs. They would be one time permanent installs.

I think you and I have opposite understandings of the same data. You're looking at a high abandon rate after installation and claiming that it represents an increase in customers going out to find apps.

I don't think there's any substantive evidence of this. You have evidence showing that customers have a strict filter on what they keep on their phones. Why does a tightening of one stage of the pipeline have anything to do with a loosening at a previous stage?

There aren't a fixed number of installations that stick, uninstalling an application does not mean the customer will go right back out and install something else.

> I think we both know that I could scour the internet and find 1,000 articles filled with statistics showing that people are constantly installing and uninstalling apps

That people uninstall most apps they eventually do install does not imply a regular stream of new installations.
Yes, or even regarded at all. Frost and Pickering have both written garbage here, and it's totally amazing that we all find it so noteworthy.
"Mariott didn’t take enough precautions to pretend being victim of a hacker."

Marriott was literally, prima facie, the victim of a hacker. The data didn't steal itself. Someone trespassed into Marriott's network and stole data that did not belong to them.

Legal culpability, while certainly not the strong point of HN, is a thing. Negligent, grossly negligent, and reckless conduct are technical terms that exist and have meaning.

I'm sick of replying to this because I don't like defending Marriott in this case. I hope they get a painful class action ruling. I think legal reforms around this are needed, but I am entirely unconvinced anyone here has a reasonable framework of regulations that would benefit anyone.
This doesn't express how a mobile app is essentially worse than a website - it only highlights how apps devs are doing it wrong and how mobile platforms vendors don't do their job preventing this.

Apps vendors should be discouraged from abusing access permissions, users should be warned if they probably do (in a visible and practical way) and be allowed to control them.

When a user clicks to install an app the system shows what rights does the app want and only gives choice to allow everything or just cancel. Instead it should disable everything by default, let the user turn particular permissions on explicitly and still install the app even if the user won't allow anything. It's the app vendor job to handle the cases when app can't access something.

As for TOSes - I doubt I understand why these should even be allowed by a platform. All the reasonable TOS terms are obvious and can be implied: the user can use the app for whatever is not illegal, the vendor can use whatever data the user enters the ways actually needed for the app to do its direct job (+ in non-personalized statistics calculation perhaps) and no other way.
Pain causes not just symptoms, but also physical signs. Increased blood pressure, for one. These are the physiological consequences of the way pain signalling happens in the body. People can even die from these physiological effects.

The physiological signs of pain occur mostly as a consequence of the way we consciously experience and process pain. (This is why "general anesthetic" works: central processing of pain is required before sensory input is actually registered as painful, and so, without the brain there to decide that a thing is painful, the physiological consequences don't happen. Pain that would give you a heart attack if you were awake doesn't cause the slightest physiological problem when you're unconscious from general anesthesia.)

If you are receiving a lot of "painful-stimulus describing" sensory input, and you're consciously experiencing those stimuli as painful qualia—but your body shows relatively little physiological response—then you have a high tolerance for pain.

This can be measured by using a standardized painful stimulus (e.g. a sub-cutaneous injection of a standardized dose of some insect's venom) together with an fMRI (or just self-reporting) to measure the intensity of the painful qualia, and various physiological monitors (EKG, etc.) to measure physiological response to the pain.

I believe this has been done before specifically in the case of certain sects of monks who like to demonstrate the depth of their meditative ability by tolerating large amounts of pain. They did the experiment to try to figure out whether the monks are tolerating an experienced pain, or merely are somehow not experiencing the painful stimulus as pain-qualia.
> But aren't those structural problems directly caused by the way we fund the system?

Yes. Almost entirely.

I find people’s response to autopilot failures to be really interesting. Autopilot is different than a human and is going to make different kinds of mistakes than a human, those mistakes are going to be frustrating and look “obvious” to humans.

On the flip side every day humans make mistakes that autopilot would avoid and would be “obvious” to an AP system.

Should we judge the computers vs perfection? Judge them like we judge humans? If a system came out that could be retrofit on every car in the country and make 1% fewer mistakes than humans, but the mistakes it makes are “obvious” and stupid, is it an improvement? Would we accept it? What about 10% or 50%?
Between person A and B, the 'better' person to have would be the one who produces more valuable stuff. Better is a tricky way to talk about this though, because these two people might have different inherent capabilities. The most ideal answer would be that person A and person B should each find their ecological niche where their consumption and production of resources are in optimal balance. The 'better' person to have in this case would be the person most suited to your same niche.

If your statement had been 'produces X amount', and not 'works X amount', then my answer definitely changes. Less consumption for the same amount of production is always better, because in aggregate it means more resources for consumption, and production goes up. Or maybe not? I'd be interested to think about a good counterpoint.

Even the sun consumes - it consumes hydrogen, helium, lots of stuff. And that stuff is localized to the sun. Perhaps we'll figure out a way to add fuel from somewhere else to the sun one day, but as of right now, the sun consumes an ultimately limited amount of stuff. We have a pretty decent understanding now of the relationship between the sun's consumption and production of resources.

If someone were like the sun, and charged for sunlight, then they would HAVE to spend the money on acquiring more hydrogen. If they left the money in the bank, then they wouldn't be able to produce the sunlight that earns them money.

> Taxing wealth seems to have enormous practical problems though - does everyone have to have their entire life assessed each year?

I'd bet people didn't have their entire incomes assessed each year before the advent of the income tax. The practical problems of a wealth tax don't seem like they'd be much greater than those from the income tax. Rather than generating W-2s and 1099s to document income, institutions might generate W-3s and 1100s to document account balances and assets. Capital gains tax could just turn into a capital tax, but remain assessed when the assets are sold.

The term “lifestyle change” has been abused and overused, but what you’ve described is a true perfect example of the difference between something like a diet, and true lifestyle change. An alcoholic who sits in his old local drinking soda water and counting the days he’s been clean hasn’t changed the factors that led him to drink, his habits, and everything other than just not drinking. Your friend decided, not just that he should stop drinking, but that he wants to, and wants to change his life accordingly.

The problem with addition is that there’s often an “upper level” cognitive process that wants to stop, doesn’t enjoy the fallout of addition, but that exists with the “lower level” processes of enjoying the drugs and disliking withdrawal, boredom, finding new friends and ways of living. You can only really change and stay changed when you unite both of those urges and work hard to change beyond just quitting x. AA does that in a way that seems to work for some, as religion has always been capable of restricting people’s lives. Of course people who don’t believe in that framework don’t actually need it, but they do need something comprehensively geared to changing their overall lifestyle.

I think the idea of a group setting for support is smart, the idea that the group has to be fanatically religion is not.

A package, which prevents accidental execute tests in the production environment
Hi everyone,
I'm thinking of writing a package, which prevents executing tests in production. It may sound silly, but I have heard such incidents has happened in past.

Although there are ways like preventing installing dev dependencies, I believe there can be a slip-up, (since we are humans).

My target is mainly testing suits like 'Mocha', 'jasmine' and backend tests like integration tests or unit tests for microservice and other backend packages.

I saw that 'mocha' runner can be identified by node_modules/mocha/bin/_mocha.

I would kindly like to know thoughts and ideas about it.
Thank you.

"teams on the 2nd game of a back to back road trip win just 32% of their contests"

Well, ok, but since there is presumably an overall home court advantage, 32% (or 37%) isn't in comparison to a baseline of 50%, but something less. I found a page that suggests the median NBA team wins a little under 40% of its road games. There are teams that do fairly good at home that average around 33% on the road.
