There are a bunch of ways to rebut that argument. First, you can look at private systems that don't have these problems (ie: all the rest of the private systems). Second, you can note that Medicare, our single-payer system, interacts with the same structurally inefficient provider system. And, of course, if we switch to single-payer tomorrow, we're still going to be doing most care on an outpatient basis (because we should), and are still as a result going to be overprescribing procedures to patients.
You may have encountered these people casually in passing but not read anything from AA proponents. Basically every AA proponent I’ve ever read from tows the party line that it is the only viable treatment. Many of them disparage and suppress alternatives like the Sinclair method.
The Truth About Hard Work. A Conversation Between Naval Ravikant and Kapil Gupta
I used to think that until I went on a multi week trip where I had lost my ID. I went through TSA without any ID about 7 times and developed a strong respect for the agents I encountered along the way. I was a difficult case and they treated me with respect and worked hard to get me through the process. I've never been a big fan of the government, and the TSA has flaws no doubt (I hate security theatre) but I think the vast majority of the agents are good apples. They chose to serve in an "essential" service, so that was a choice. Government shutdown's aren't a new thing anymore and they still choose to serve with honor and dignity to their role. I'm happy to agree to disagree.
Nintendo's Mobile Revenue Reached $348 M in 2018, Led by Fire Emblem Heroes
Reducing flight time is not the same as reducing travel time. The real killer with respect to travel time are layovers airport delays. Cheaper airplanes capable of flying farther will reduce the number of layovers, and the big airlines know this. The market for supersonic planes will be small.

On a side note, why aren't there more startups trying to reduce passenger time at the airport instead of focusing on faster airplanes?
The systems are built to serve administrators, not practitioners.
I agree but think that there is a distinction that taints the definition of 'lobbying.'

For instance, I think think of lobbying broadly as the 'gears' of democracy, from one individual sending an email about an issue to an organized entity using their collective powers for change.

However, I think the distinction is most people think of lobbying as a special sort of 'relationship capitalization' that happens on the Hill; I'm not hiring Group X because they can best funnel my grassroots to the grasstops (though that exists) but rather I hire Group X because my account manager used to work at Dirksen and is friends with current target COS. This selling of connections, relationships, etc is what I think understandably makes people wary of lobbying.
For anyone checking by in the reddit post; /r/Datahoarders is a very interesting subreddit.

If you're planning to build a custom NAS, this subreddit and /r/homelab are quite the resource to get going and find good options.

It also helps as a source for Linux ISO's to hoard.
Why rockstar developers don't ask for help (2015)
I'm not a fan of the 2d graphics proposal, some for reasons specific to it (I think it's too like the HTML5 Canvas API) some for more philosophical reasons like 2D graphics is a big subject that may not be possible to standardize in a way that pleases enough people. It's true that the existence of the proposal demonstrates the committee has realized graphics programmers had needs! The discussion around it too does a lot to put the kind of problems we have to work with on the map.

Anyway, originally in my OP, I read the blog post and at the end, he was saying to people that have any industry-specific concern with the way they use C++, and the way C++ is changing, to get involved. I was just saying, as a C++ end-user, even one who cares enough to write this, there is no readily accessible way to do that, because I don't work with anyone who's already on the committee nor at Microsoft. So it feels a bit like an empty rebuttal on his side. Writing this here, it's basically the longest discussion I've ever had my whole career with people who really know deep things about C++ and the process it's made by. I'm glad for it but I'm clearly not the demographic the original blogger was addressing! Even though I definitely feel those same issues he outlines.

Bravo on taking some action. Hopefully your electrical grid is powered by natural gas (or cleaner, sustainable sources) rather than coal-fired power plants. I also much prefer my EV to a combustion engine vehicle too and hope to stay electric.
I hate to disagree about ATC with someone named Sully but I do believe the FAA has its own funding/appropriations bill(s) and revenue sources and is not tied into this general omnibus funding shutdown going on now.
I don't think this is the case. I played on a B/C-tier Overwatch team as the main DPS (mostly Tracer) for several months and I can tell you there is a stark difference in snap-reflex between non-caffeinated and caffeinated states, regardless of sleep amount. There were many other things I did to improve my reflexes and rote mechanical skill in general, but none made as much an obvious difference as caffeine.
I mean, I'm not of a strong opinion either way here, but for me.. the TSA is the least of my hatered of flying. I just really don't like being at 30,000ft.

Taking off my shoes and having some random guy/gal check me out on mm nude-vision honestly doesn't bother me much.
The existence of TSA PreCheck is all the proof you need that the onerous additional screenings of TSA Economy are pointless.

Either that, or it's impossible for someone with $85 and a clean background check to commit terrorist acts.
Could it be as simple as an icon on the home screen and separate entry in app switcher?
I'm sure that protocols will be the same, just with much longer waits.
I had a friend who was deep into that world, and it was really exciting to discuss with him how things were progressing at any given point. Every once in awhile I'd get either a new card, or chip, or some contraption to stick into the slot where the card went (I believe this was a way to prevent DTV from sending a signal that would fry counterfeit cards) – anyhow, I haven't kept up with things for a long time, but it's kind of my assumption that now it's impossible to hack, or not worth the effort, I should go find out :)

As far as I know (and please correct me if I am wrong), geolocation is not quite that magical. At best they can infer who your ISP is and the region your IP block was assigned to.
I don't know, except to say that national health policy has become a political football. I don't think there's an ideological reason for the decisions Congress has made; the system we have now was the Republican's proposed system in the 1990s (and was even a policy plank the the 1996 Republican Platform).
A better solution is "Just don't couple the two pieces of code!"

It takes a fair amount of work to design a good class where one can easily apply the open-closed principle. And one should where it's needed. But tying together two completely unrelated parts of your code base with such a class just because the two pieces of code are almost identical is the wrong approach. Then going ahead and designing it for the open-closed principle merely adds complexity.
Just because something is legal doesn't mean it should be done.
I'm fine with being at 30,000 feet. It's the takeoffs and landings that make me nervous. Especially the moment when you're going at full speed but haven't rotated yet, or just before touching down.
And what's wrong with relational database for this use case? I don't see the point of conversion? NoSQL has its place, but its not for replacing the Northwind database.
YAML in devop is essentially being used as a declarative language. They do have their place in domain specific applications, and can often be quite powerful.

While being able to write in any language gives you flexibility, I do wonder about maintainability down the line. How would this be addressed? Or it doesn't matter as this sort of code tends to be thrown away?
I've known several people in my life who went from being 2-pack a day smokers to, well, vapors on a low nicotine dose. Juul is sort of an overpriced unit and really they're trying to run a subscription model on their dumb pods - but in general vaping can help in smoking cessation (though not necessarily nicotine addiction!)
It's amusing, given that they expect the opposite from their own customers.

This is absolutely not true, as you've been told before. The fact you keep repeating this is fucking annoying.

You're making some assumptions: i) that expensive treatment is good treatment, ii) that expensive treatment is not available and that iii) it is available for people with insurance.

Not one of those is correct.

Also, the cancer drugs fund (mentioned in your link) provided access to drugs that were very expensive and which did not work. https://www.bmj.com/content/357/bmj.j2097
Honestly, I'm all out of empathy for people who grope crying, frightened children by their genitals, people who trigger sexual assault survivors, and people who treat transgender individuals as less than human.

TSA agents do all of the above as a matter of course.
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

I mean, it's in your own damn text. What on earth does this mean that is different from what I think it means. I'm perfectly happy to hear your explanation.
Hackers have always been concerned about ethics.
This is tax avoidance, which is legal. Tax evasion implies illegality.

When you put money into a 401k, that's tax avoidance.
> Second, you can note that Medicare, our single-payer system,

Medicare is not a single payer system, but a partial-subsidy voucher system for highly-regulated private insurance with (for the core inpatient and outpatient components) a fully-paid public option.
I believe the implication was they were hit by Tesla cars that were ‘driving autonomously’, not that they died of old age.
A reason doesn't mean from a rational perspective. A reason someone wouldn't go in an elevator might be an irrational fear of heights. A few reasons someone might continue drinking even though its slowly destroying their lives and relationships:

* Undealt with trauma/abuse

* Lack of skills to express themselves emotionally, and experience that it is a "socially acceptable outlet" (for a while)

* Depression and lack of self worth (sometimes brought on by excess drinking, in a cycle/loop)

* Neurochemical or biological imbalance - note that the rates of ASD spectrum or bipolar alcoholism is much higher than neurotypical, for example

* Cultural enforcement of drinking (frequently being around people with other of these issues)

* Others

Or most frequently

* Multiple of above
Interesting case. However, "literally impossible" and "wastes a register padding parameters" are not the same thing.
I think the value proposition is much clearer for 12+ hour flights, mostly on Asia Pacific routes, rather than something like NY - London. Saving 7+ hours flying LA - Sydney or LA - Singapore would be a huge win and I think appeal to people flying business on those routes. It certainly would have for me when I was flying Toronto - Seoul regularly.
Being a pickpocket is also difficult and anxiety-inducing, and I have a lot of sympathy for everyone for whom that is the only way to make ends meet. That doesn't mean I think theft should be legal.

In particular, if a TSA worker successfully finds another job to replace the income they can't get from the TSA, they should quit, rather than misrepresent their situation to later cash in on paid sick leave.

How to Master the Product Management Case Study Interview
I think people listen to laymen economists because the majority of celebrity economists espouse logically contradictory theories that support their financial patrons.
I'm fine with being at 30,000 feet, I'm fine with the takeoffs and landings. It's the tiny seats, horrible service, frequent delays and cancellations and constant fees for every little thing that make me hate flying.
It's worth noting that between 2012-2017 'open source' and 'enterprise software' were synonymous. I saw many examples where VCs refused to entertain any enterprise investments that weren't fully SaaS and/or on-prem apache licensed.

Explains why there was so much marketing hype behind open source; hundreds of millions of dollars of VC investment was being pushed into it.
To follow the food analogy, I'm saying that you've gotta eat to have energy to be productive to make food to eat.

In other words, you have to produce in order to consume in order to produce in order to consume, and so on. The worst possible thing would be consumption sans production - that's cancer.

Can you think of examples where you would produce without consumption? I can't think of any. Even intellectual discoveries consume information. My answer to your question would be that it would be the most impossible thing someone could do to produce but never consume.
Please define "required". Are FBI agents actually going to drag them out of their homes and have them arraigned on criminal charges if they don't show up for work, or will they just be fired/reprimanded/put on a PIP?
The fundamental error in this article is the following inference:

Satisfying someone else's need is good, therefore having your need satisfied by someone else must be bad.

But the real world is not this way at all. Transactions are not zero-sum. It is entirely possible to satisfy someone else's need and have it not cost you as much as it benefits them. Once you realize this, the entire chain of logic falls down.
There's absolutely nothing hypocritical about it. The progressive viewpoint is that taxes should be higher, not that people should just be willingly donating way more money to the government.
Portland travels further than any other team because "Portland is the only team in the Pacific Northwest."

(Geez I'm not a sports fan but who moved the Sonics to Oklahoma without telling me?)

Anyway yeah look at this map and you can see it: Portland is both near the geographic extent (like Boston, Miami & LA), and relatively far away from its adjacent cities (unlike those 3).

> Lobbying isn't inherently bad, you know.

With the current set of laws in the US, it pretty much is. Also, congress needs Janitors.. but we don't excoriate ourselves over the impossibility of getting that work done, we just hire and pay a janitor for their work.

With the DNC and RNC raking in so much money every year, I find it amazingly hard to believe that they're lacking for expert advice.
This is a weird article that starts out with a customer service problem and ends up extrapolating an entire new health system out of it. The problem this person has is that they signed up for an HMO instead of a PPO, which is what most people in the US have. HMOs subject you to additional red tape in exchange for lower premiums; PPOs allow you to walk in to a specialist (though most Americans will see their GP first anyways).

Whether you get an HMO or a PPO, it is far easier to see a specialist in the US than it is in the UK. In fact, most health care economists would argue that it is in fact too easy to get specialist care in the US, and we as a result overconsume services without obtaining better outcomes.
Singapore and Hong Kong have a unique position in that they have an established bureaucracy, trade law, and international banking infrastructure - thanks to the British. Because they are tiny islands of stability and 'rule of commercial law' in a sea of political and economic instability ... they essentially have a powerful export industry, one that also relies on political stability.

Without that wealth, I think the leaders would be goners.

People are willing to put up with a lot so long as they are gaining wealth, the rules are not so harsh, and there is the perception of rule of law (i.e. no bribery).

Not to inflame the anti-Imperialists :) but I wonder where Singapore would be were they to have a (elected?) Governor from the UK instead of a 'Dictator'. Especially since there is no such thing really as a 'native Singaporean' (i.e. when the British took over it was almost an empty plot) and this is more like a trading post than a colony, it really does question the classical late 20th century narrative views of Imperialism.

I suggest that at very least, this guy could be having his little Skype meeting. But maybe the streets wouldn't be quite so clean?

Well, you can call it fraud. Some people would say it makes them smart.
Fresh, it's pretty tasteless, and quite easy to incorporate raw into other foods such as a smoothy, soup, pesto, or a spread in sandwiches.

> The wholly grail of cryptocurrency today is not optimizing anonymity but... complying with the complex regulations around KYC and criminal and terrorist financing.

What the... That’s not the goal of cryptocurrency according to its creators. The goal is, as you stated later, “to opt out of government surveillance”, which is incompatible with the former. You’re contradicting yourself.
They're federal employees. None of them have to live paycheck to paycheck.
Well one bit of good news is that one of the two screeners at LGA who argued over which of them was getting the shampoo they confiscated from my wife's carryon luggage will have clean, full hair in their poverty.

> The real killer with respect to travel time are layovers airport delays

For international flights, actual flight time can be brutal. I have colleagues who regularly take 14 hour flights. Some people would gladly pay extra to shave a few hours off of that.
Managers have to communicate both up and down while developers only need to communicate up. When I made the jump from a developer to a manager I had to learn how to properly communicate issues and risks to upper management. If there's an issue related to your team, you should be the first to escalate it. If management hears about your team's issues from a different source, you'll look bad. As manager, my number one job was staying on top of risks and issues, which meant getting up to date information from my reports and communicating the exact magnitude and priority of the risk/issue. If you develop a reputation as someone who can communicate and handle risks and issues well, that'll set you on good footing.
I think you mean, most people in their 80s and 90s have benign tumors, not cancer.

Fair enough. Consider my rebuttal so revised.
hey, not sure you if you will see this but just in case:

first, i am not a lawyer, and this isn't legal advice, just stories from experience.

Maintaining proper corporate formalities and handling finances is a big part of actually _operating_ a business. The main idea is that if you want to operate as a business, what you are actually doing is operating a separate legal entity to separate the legal and financial risk from you personally as the owner. This often includes setting up a proper corporate entity such as an LLC or inc, and maintaining the proper financial records, among other things. At later stages, this means working with your board and corporate counsel to maintain minutes and have regular board meetings too.

As a founder, if you are pre-revenue but are starting to get customers/users who want to pay, its a good time to speak with an attorney to talk about getting some kind of liability protection setup (in today's environment, that also means ToS and Privacy Policies too). But if you are before that, it might still be early.

The good news is that most lawyers do a quick consult for free, and its a GREAT time to start to develop your skills in working with counsel.
Then 6 months later one of those app companies send you an email update, by which point you've forgotten what they do, and yet they give you no hint of what the app is in said email.
That's the theory, although between the "NHS Spine", Serco, and a move between England and Scotland's separate systems a big chunk of mine have gone missing.
I assume you mean Gaius Caeser.
Hate the game, not the player. None of them enjoy this stuff any more than you do - it's just their job. Let's instead look to the impact of our national policy of security theatre, where the illusion of activity (even when that activity is unpleasant, offensive, and arguably immoral) is preferable to just admitting there are some risks we can't prevent.
You can just cold email them or connect on LinkedIn if you meet the prerequisites. It's much like asking someone out on a date. Mentee often makes the first move.
It's not completely theater. I've had friends caught with ammo and knives (which they left in their luggage by accident). In every case they simply confiscated it and let them go, so it makes me feel alright that they have at least caught stuff. I find the liquids stuff annoying, but hey.

It's probably in airlines best interests to have security anyway - after all of the high profile (but extraordinarily rare) terror attacks, people are probably more apt to fly with some type of security.
Anyone know how to actually block autoplay video these days?

I tried firefox's "media.autoplay.enabled;false","media.autoplay.ask-permission;true","media.autoplay.block-event.enabled;true" but none of this seems to work anymore. uBlock origin doesn't seem to do this in any super easy way (that I tried).
Yeah in theory they do but in practice if you move around a lot (like pretty much everyone does these days) they get lost.

It's just surgeries posting paper notes to other surgeries. Very archaic and unreliable. They did try to digitise everything several years ago but somehow managed to waste £13bn and produced nothing. Completely incompetent.

Record keeping is one area of the NHS that is a total embarrassment.
Nurses commonly bid for shifts. Undesirable shifts pay far more than desirable ones. Christmas morning will pay far more than an ordinary Thursday afternoon.

I guess that isn't exactly flat wages, but it isn't tips either. I think it beats both.

So at the restaurant, early evening on Valentine's Day would pay a lot more than the late afternoon on an uninteresting day.
Jet-A at airfields isn't a valid measure of how much airlines. I read that most airlines pay around 1.10$/gal for Jet-A.
