Yes, and Mainland China has been threatening with military action if they would simply call the country Taiwan.

So yes your point was...?
Sure, but they are not imminent (what is the pearl harbor of climate change?). Further, climate change is highly politicized whereas WWII mobilized the entire country in purpose.
I would disagree on two points; that a cylinder is desirable and that you need immigration to fix the inverted pyramid.

On point two; the inverted pyramid is IMO largely a symptom of a changing demographic layout. Younger people create less families and briefly cause the pyramid to invert while the ripple of low births goes through the entire lifetime of a human.

On point one; if your pyramid is a cylinder, it implies people die at any age in a uniform distribution. It is unlikely this will be the case ever. IMO a somewhat slopped pyramid is okay, people tend to die as they get older and this lessens the costs on social welfare systems (plus being more realistic).

Ah, true. I should note I build a statically linked llvm so I can deploy my project on different versions. The pre-built llvm should work for most people.
I don't see how a cryptographic WoT system is necessary for that kind of concern. That sounds like more tooling needed around the language's basic packaging system.
There's nothing "impossible" about Boom's plans, commercial hypersonic flight has been done before decades ago and -- like with SpaceX -- tech advances since then have made the job easier, not harder.

Congress at least nominally operates under pay-as-you-go rules. If you're going to propose a new program, you have to propose where the money's going to come from.

(I say "at least nominally" because I'm not sure that this actually works as advertised. If it did, the deficit shouldn't increase from one year to another, except perhaps in an economic downturn.)
I could be wrong, that's why I said I guess. It was just based on my personal experience in switching doctors a couple times when I moved away from my home town.
That’s a good point. Do we have any solution from companies who use git/multirepos for their libraries? Is there anyway to compile refactored libraries against existing code?

I still prefer pidgin, but it needs a lot of love to make it a reasonably modern XMPP client:

- https://github.com/danielkraic/Pidgin-XEP-0136-plugin adds XEP-0136 (needs "mam_archive" on prosody)

- https://github.com/gkdr/carbons adds XEP-0280 (Carbons)

- https://github.com/Junker/purple-xmpp-http-upload adds XEP-363 (HTTP uploads)

- https://github.com/gkdr/lurch adds XEP-0384 (OMEMO)

- https://github.com/noonien-d/pidgin-xmpp-receipts XEP-0184 (message delivery receipts)

The real pain for Pidgin is the complete lack of XEP-313 due to Pidgin's aged logging system, and I would really like to see a working message sync for Pidgin :(

EDIT: https://github.com/CkNoSFeRaTU/pidgin apparently has had XEP-313 patched into Pidgin for years now. Combined with lurch and Carbons, message sync is working fine.
> Competent politicians aren't ... they surround themselves with subject matter experts.

¿Por qué no los dos? Is Ocasio-Cortez surrounding herself with subject-matter experts?
Notes intended for patients would have a different form than notes intended for doctors. Unfortunately medical records achieve neither. My notes are bloated with information needed to bill the maximum amount from the center of Medicare services, which ultimately hurts all parties.

The bloat obscures critical information from other doctors. Patients are unable to read a meaningful account of their care, and are charged more for worse services.
Also possible that this is a divide and conquer strategy by an external actor.
I would guess player travel is a bit low in the schedule makers priorities. They have a lot to account for with arena availability as they often share with concerts/events and even a handful share with professional NHL teams and their own 40+ home game schedules.

Tiny Computers Could Transform Our Lives
Main HN discussion of this topic is on the NPR coverage:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18822182
I'll leave the tax plan aside to respond to this. As slow and creaky as the world is, when a government as powerful as the United States aggressively puts forth a vision for the world the systems of the world bend to make it work.

Remember also that the vast majority of logistical challenges with climate change aren't developing new products, but handling coordination problems around deploying existing ones.

Things that might happen if America decided to commit seriously to a Green New Deal:
- automotive roadmap overhaul to 80% electric drivetrain for all deliveries in the United States by 2030
- tectonic shift in land use around the country to higher density zoning, mass transit, HSR
- hundreds of billions of dollars of research to public and private institutions to map all the carbon in our system and the most effective ways to remove it

But these are all giant changes. Here are simple ones that are straight up applications of government power:
- switch all major urban areas to Tokyo style zoning with property taxes tied to mass transit investment
- steep cliff on ICE vehicles delivered in the United States hitting some x00% in 2030
- end all fossil fuel subsidies
- move all energy supply to a Texas style market

Emergent properties of human behavior responding to incentives would take care of the rest.

Another problem is that for a variety of reasons, some of them structural, Americans consume significantly more medical services (diagnostics, procedures, visits) than Europeans do, without improved outcomes. There are fundamental inefficiencies in our system --- for instance, incentives have led to the creation of lots of small hospitals that see poor utilization --- that lead to this, and will be baked into any single-payer system we devise.

This concerns me enough that I oppose nationalized health insurance. I think the status quo ante of the ACA was intolerable, and that the system needs dramatic improvements (high on my list would be price transparency regulations), but that the core problem we have in the US is not that health care isn't universal, but that we pay too much for it, and baking that quietly into our taxes is an alarming proposition.
It should be enough to get one prototype aircraft flying.

Individual rights are just that -- not rights, not privileges and thus not subject to debate, thought they are of course frequently violated by totalitarian states to a greater or a somewhat lesser degree.

I know this is controversial, because the current rule is that you are not supposed to say that your moral system is right and the other guys system is wrong, but A is A and Freedom is not slavery, no matter how much that is yelled from the tops of mountains.
At least some western european nations have anti-hate speech laws, though I consider a country to have "free speech" if individuals are free to criticize the government. What are you referring to?
Nah, not really much of a gold rush. There is a lot of talk about how security is becoming extremely important, but when push comes to shove and companies have to spend significantly to secure their systems, or worse, slow down feature development to do so, they choose the easy route. And I can't blame them, given the financial incentives at play.

Take startups. Having a security breach won't kill your startup. Being slow to market will.
Yep, the title is unsupported in the article and it's overoptimistic.
> A monorepo will serve you 99% of the time until you hit a certain level of scale when you get to worry about whether a monorepo or a polyrepo is actually material

If you worked in a company that had a core product in a repo, and you wanted to create a slack bot for internal use, where would you put the code? I assume not within your core product's codebase, but within a separate repo, thus creating a polyrepo situation.

So when you say a monorepo will serve you in 99% of cases, are you not counting "side" projects, and simply talking about the core product?
Maybe not relevant for you, but one thing that has helped me with my doctor is that the first thing I do when I go in is sum up what happened in our previous couple of visits. My doctor doesn't have enough time to prep for my visit. I mean, he should, but he doesn't (been there, done that). So I give him the executive summary to speed things up. I visit my doctor a lot, so he now trusts me to give him accurate and useful information.
Both Reddit and Twitter are intentionally designed to be annoying, so as to encourage you to install their apps. So frustrating.
No, it is effectively impossible for their planes to be legally flying by 2025, which is what they’re claiming.

Edit: to be clear, I wish them luck too, but I think they’re being dishonest with their timelines. The YC / startup culture is the polar opposite of the FAA culture, which is basically “move slow and make sure nothing breaks, and if it does, carefully examine the situation and change the rules so it doesn’t break again”

Here’s a good overview of the certification process: https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/aviation-internation...

Zero chance that some random startup is going to have these flying with passengers in 2025. They follow a very long line of startups that have burned through billions of dollars and almost all failed. I’d be surprised if there was more than one or two new airplane companies in the past three decades that have survived without bankruptcy, state subsidies, etc. And none of them were trying to do something nearly so technically challenging.

All that said, I hope to eat a giant humble pie on my 2025 supersonic flight to London!

I'd also guess that east/west miles traveled are more of a disadvantage than north/south miles. Flying sucks, but messing with your circadian sucks even more.

> What hurts is if a single person spends so much above average that it notably drains the number of workers still available to serve the needs of everyone else in that society.

While that could be true, we currently aren't really dealing with a shortage of doctors because there are too many people building yachts. If anything there are too many unskilled workers because our educational system has largely failed to adapt in the last 100 years.
> Taiwan doesn't believe in One China.

There is a reason that the area currently effectively governed by the Republic of China has been referred by the RoC government as the “free area of the Republic of China”, and it's not a lack of belief in the idea of one China.

That said, there is disagreement among RoC political parties on this issue, and some of the public positioning is influenced by PRC reactions, since the PRC (despite not ruling out force to reintegrate the whole area governed by the ROC in any case) seems less likely to wage war in the near term over the current dispute over who governs one China (which it seems implausible for the RoC to win) than Taiwanese independence (which is more plausible, and thus a bigger threat.)
Yes, this is part of standard data cleaning practices. You always remove whatever custom formats a provider allows to get the raw minimum email address (this is only for export, you still send official communication with a user to their original specified address).
I think that argument is not valid. The "ultra rich" would benefit from any kind of capitalistic economy, they are "ultra rich" because they have more capital than 99.9% ( or whatever) of the population. And most of this fortune stems from having shares in businesses.

However, IF we would have taxed the greenhouse gas emissions into every product, maybe not even the middle class would have been able to afford it. But since gas was cheap, a lot of people were able to afford having a car, building houses, getting to their jobs without moving their homes and were able to improve their lives.

I do see the point in your argument, I just think it would be a fairer solution to tax everyone for the climate change linear to their consumption.
It absolutely 100% is at least the doctor’s job to know this. If you come back with depression again, the doctor needs to know what medications were used last time to treat you this time. They need to know if you had allergic reactions, no response, or other details regarding your medication history. The doctor may also be able to use a history of depression as a supporting factor for a new diagnosis. Your history of depression may be the thing that tips your doctor toward getting an MRI of the brain to rule out a brain tumor, for example.
I don't think digitizing a document has ever been ruled as being transformative enough to warrant its own copyright. Now a sylized photo of a document might.

But I could be wrong. Do you have a source?

Even in the case of Aaron Schwartz, they prosecuted on the grounds that his download bot constituted unlawful entry to their system.
Can you blame them? They were bitten once by relying too much on proprietary tech that they had to license from Mobileye who eventually pulled the plug. I can't imagine they are in any rush to repeat that process.

Bringing as much of the software and architecture in-house as possible shields them a bit more from that happening again.

I have no idea if that is the ultimate reason, or if it was even a significant reason, but it sure can't hurt!
She really isn’t competent. Watch any interview she gives or her discussing anything really. But that doesn’t matter. We don’t need everyone to be competent, if she can get a message out to young people and her following she can raise awareness and tilt voters to policies further to what she wants. She is extremely charismatic and that’s an important skill in itself. It’s like playing with fire because she would make a terrible lead lawmaker on everything, but she absolutely is doing a fantastic job raising awareness

Retrospectively, did the Bowie Bonds turn out to be a good investment?
Technically correct, although dividends were excluded from the high income rate, so most ultra-wealthy just took much of their income in dividends instead. (Or pursued other means of tax avoidance[0], or tax evasion[1].)

Taxing the rich isn't about generating revenue to make something. It's a reallocation mechanism for dollars that already exist in the economy to things that we want as a body of people.

If this seems radical, notice that this is already part of the American social contract. We already tax people to provide services and invest in long term projects. All this does is change the rates and the allocation direction.
Rockets are jets.

The name "Jet Propulsion Laboratory" dates to 1943. They do rockets. At least 2 years prior to that name change they had worked on JATO, which is "jet-assisted takeoff". The company Aerojet was founded in 1942, making solid-fuel rockets.
No. You explicitly said (I quoted you verbatim about it more than once) that any argument or assessment of the security of a phone can be dismissed by virtue of the halting problem. If you'd like to retract that, fair enough. If not, you are staking out what I believe is a silly and unserious position. Is this a position you hold or not?
The ACA reduced the rate of growth in health insurance premiums, but health insurance premiums continue to grow and have been for decades --- spiraling health care costs were a part of the Republican Party platform... in 1980.

Guaranteed issue, community-rated health insurance is a necessity for a private health care system, and the ACA brought those badly-needed features here. But the big problem with US health care is simply that it costs too damn much to stay healthy, and those problems are structural more than they are a function of how we fund the system.
I encourage patients to read or listen to me dictate my note about them during our exam. Often they catch something that I had misinterpreted.
"- Say no / only agree to what you know your team can deliver on... and always double your estimate. In the long-term reliability is valued over agreeableness."

Early in my career I read that X (almost) __always__ takes twice as long and cost twice as much as you typically estimate.

I can't count the number of times that's been true. It's also universally true. e.g. Wanna hang a picture. Piece of cake, right? Until you have to find the stud. Likely get a tape measure to get the height right, etc.

Perhaps an over-implied example, but once you start to keep track in your head of your estimate vs actual, the 2x Rule pans out quite a bit.

"some random startup with no experience" -- what about the experience of the people who founded the company and those they have hired? does that count as "no experience"?

I was pondering this very question as I just launched an open source reverse geocoding/geolocation name service API ( https://3geonames.org/api ) whose business model consists upon selling a nicely packaged server AMI on AWS.

It works well both ways, in the sense that those who are capable coders may download and configure/install the software themselves.

Some others will just skip the hassle and buy the Marketplace version.

It is a win-win situation, insofar as someone does not take the time to repackage it and sell a competing version on the AWS Marketplace or some other sales channel.

I have not figured out that part yet. Any suggestions?
The key idea in the ACA that addresses this problem is subsidies: you get tax credits and (ostensibly) CSRs to offset the cost of health insurance if you're within some multiple of the Federal poverty line. Unfortunately, this is exactly the part of the system Congressional opponents of the ACA have taken direct aim at.

Embracing Apple's Boring Future
Take a moment to consider that someone else in your team might actually understand the code in question, and when you rewrite it (and commit), you destroy their knowledge about how it works. Sure, from your perspective, you made the code better, easier to understand. From their perspective, even if they do the code review themselves, they will not understand it as thoroughly as you do, and they will be burdened with both the knowledge of how it used to be, and how it is now. The net result can be negative, and eventually no one understands any code that they didn't refactor in the last ~6 months, because if it's any older than that, someone's rewritten it.

Sometimes you gotta sit down and bite the bullet and read and ask questions.
You do that and companies just switch to a comparable and freer platform... From linux to BSD, from Mongo to X... etc. In the end, a lot of these changes are to stop resellers from building a larger business on the open-source version that competes with their own open-core model.

In the end, they probably should have had those provisions to begin with, but were more concerned about early growth and first to market.

I guess in math they found it just gets more complex, as you go deeper? eventually you need new tools, upon new tools? Is this like philosophy? you just find you need more tools? I'm no expert. And that's why I'm putting question marks around.
The US is trying to do this as well. The very famous HIPAA is actually about that, and not as much about the privacy provisions that made it famous.

Implementation of this goal though ..... not as successful. Mostly because those who make the electronic record systems don't understand the field well. See: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18781264
> Lobbying isn't inherently bad, you know.

True, but...

> Congress needs experts for information.

That's what members and committees have staff for (and, in a broader sense, what the US government has an executive branch which Congress sets the rules governing and required to report to them for.)

Lobbyists don't work for Congress in the public interest, they work for actors that want Congress to serve those actors' private interests.

Scroll down to "Information Excluded from the Right of Access", particularly the bit about psychotherapy notes.

Also see "Reviewable grounds for denial (45 CFR 164.524(a)(3))", which includes things like "The access requested is reasonably likely to endanger the life or physical safety of the individual or another person" or "The access requested is reasonably likely to cause substantial harm to a person (other than a health care provider) referenced in the PHI".

> Another limited ground for denial exists if a licensed health care professional determines in the exercise of professional judgment that the access requested is reasonably likely to endanger the life or physical safety of the individual or another person. For example, a covered entity may deny a suicidal patient access to information that a provider determines in his professional judgment is reasonably likely to lead the patient to take her own life.
