"Rather like when the British rail system ground to a halt because of the wrong type of snow, the American health care system apparently is beset by the wrong type of patients: ill ones."
That is so true. I'm not sure if the betterment of health insurance industry would be the solution, or the health insurance industry itself is actually the problem.
I think it depends... it's probably bias to more technical users vs moms, dads and kids generally. I know I'm far less inclined to use a native app for something new. I also hate when I can't do updates from my desktop. I use linux, windows and mac regularly.

Of course via cordova, it's easy enough to create a thin wrapper and add a few bits for notifications and better capture integration (if you need photos/video, etc). Since I'm mostly doing react these days, I'd consider react-native a natural next step.
HMOs are great if you're healthy and plan to remain that way for a while. I have the same deductible and co-pays as a PPO but pay about $200 less per month. The level of care is adequate for my needs, and I actually go to the doctor now because the HMO is integrated with the provider network, so I can book appointments online. Since the HMO also owns the lab and other facilities at the clinic everything that they do to me is covered. They even have an optometrist in case I need an eye exam. Their pharmacy is also really quick compared to most places.
And what happens when you use your francs to build a robot to make grain for you? You have all the grain you need and can undercut competitors, buy up their land and corner the market. It's the robot specs that become valuable. So how does the economy change when information becomes the new currency?

It's a bit creepy but I'd assume they get it from your ID when you check in.
With cordova you can create a thin wrapper that can add those features you need, starting with a PWA and extending.
> Indeed, right now we're seeing a big uptick in Instant Apps on Android -- go to a webpage and it actually loads a native app -- and I fully expect the same to appear on iOS.

I'd never heard of this but I can guarantee I will immediately quit and never install an app that gets forced upon me via this method. This is like the terrible "Try our app!" web popups, only 10x worse.

I realize like most people on HN I'm hardly the norm when it comes to mobile users, but UGH.
I completely agree. This is also my advice to clients that initially ask for a mobile app as well.

Unless you _know_ you have a successful business, a website/webapp MVP is almost always a cheaper way to validate your business concept and a cheaper way to iterate as you develop it.
If there’s a legal requirement to store passport numbers you can store them. It’s one of the cases where you don’t need consent. You still have to store them in a safe fashion and the customer still retains most of the rights under GDPR (information about what you store and for which purpose, etc.)
"The Gates foundation directs a large amount of resources not to "prudent economic decisions" (eg, it looses money), but to non economic priorities he set."

This is true, and although certainly not a bad thing, is perhaps a sub-optimal allocation of economic output. There is perhaps an argument for having individuals with enough power to do this as a means of making decisions that are sub-optimal in the here and now, but over long enough spans of time turn out to be optimum. Another example would be investing in renewable energies.
To me, this is the only hope. Herf says it is one approach at the end of the article.

To expand on the VPN benefits you already have in place... grab a vnc app for Android and VPN in then vnc to a machine from your phone. All of the sudden you are sitting at an Linux desktop on your phone. With DLNA casting you can literally now use your phone as a full blown computer casting to a monitor (assuming you have some sort of peripherals). That was always my holy grail.

I agree /w testing game development being less of a priority than in other industries, but I feel that it is because code quality tends to take a back seat in gamedev.

Tests are NOT anti-agile, that is just dumb. I feel like a bunch of hacker news hipsters read an article about TDD 3 years ago and then said "Yep that's my opinion! Tests are bad." Despite every major software company requiring unit tests for their production code-bases. ( Hint: It's because they did the research and found tests beneficial. ) Tests enable agility.

Let's just get this out of the way now: Tests are not about catching bugs. Tests are about allowing your to safely refactor your code without breaking previously declared behavior.

Testing enables you to iterate and refactor code without constantly releasing new regressions. Testing IS code quality. If you lack tests you lack a core piece of code quality.
This is my position as well. Unless your app is going to provide substantial features over your website or operating system like functionality. I'm not even going to try it out.

For magnetic fields, the problem is there are no simple (non-trivial) solutions for the magnetic fields of interesting things like a bar magnet.

Interesting! I was reading all the comments, wondering if anyone would express the concept that maybe, just maybe, all of this might not be that useful after all.

More specifically, how often does all of this really need to be down to the individual person (or IP address) at all? Even if you know that piece of information at an ephemeral level, my own suspicion is that aggregate data should be sufficient for any non-creepy use case.

Perhaps one way to phrase the question, how would having personal-level details in the analytics change the actions you might perform based on available data?
To be clear, it will be free for owners that purchased the "Full Self Driving" (FSD) package.

There's two tiers-- Enhanced Autopilot (EAP), and FSD. To own FSD, you need to have already purchased EAP. However, you do not need to purchase FSD to have EAP.

Enhanced Autopilot is (in simple terms) lane keeping + adaptive cruise control. It's designed only to work on highways, and does not need the HW3 board nor will owners that only purchased this get the new hardware.

FSD owners will get the HW3 board so that Tesla can fulfill the promise of providing FSD that the owner originally purchased with their car (or after-the-fact). FSD will (in theory) handle self-driving in most cases, such as regular street driving with stop lights, stop signs, roundabouts, etc.

A lot. Just consider his preventative health care. I would bet it runs in the millions per year. Then consider the education and opportunities that he and his children got.
And then consider that normal people cannot have those same things precisely because Bill Gates and his ilk lobby against any measures that might put some of the country's wealth towards those goals.

I agree. I was in agreement with the article when it says that money we earn is a statement of the value we provide to society, so earning money is good, however, I don't agree with the statement that spending money and consumption is bad.

The example of the yacht is rather contrived as well. They talk about how all of the craftsmen and lumber workers had to chop down, dry, age, cut and polish the wood to make the yacht, however, it's somehow evil for us to buy it?

This seems rather ridiculous when you consider that the money used to buy that yacht paid the salaries and income of all the craftsmen and laborers that built it for you, compensating them for the value they provide to society. If there was nobody willing to consume or buy products, how would anyone make income?

This article seems to understand capitalism superficially, then demonstrates the authors know little about capitalism in the final paragraphs.
I really don't know, as I don't really research diets and just see that headline year after year. My point was just that, as you said, the most recommended diet isn't going to be one with some sort of gimmick - limit your cals to this number, your carbs, to this number, only eat during these times, don't eat this one entire food group, etc. The general guidelines of Mediterranean diets seem pretty good to me, and I'm totally on board with a little red wine every day.
Bingo. That's exactly what end-consumers want. If you have a good enough PWA, you can wrap it in a single webview and push it to the appstore/play market. The presence is the important part, the actual implementation does not matter.

Apprently its an opioid receptor antagonist and its mechanism of action for treating alcoholism isn't well understood.

I say this in complete seriousness, but group therapy was probably the most important helpful training in my transition from developer to manager.

Group therapy is especially helpful because it makes you realize that, as "crazy" as some other people may seem, everyone looks at the world through their own emotional filter based on their background of personal experiences. Thus, if your job is motivating and growing the skills of people on your team, being able to truly empathize with them, and to understand what drives their motivation, is hugely valuable.

Anyone know the current state of the industry?

Large corporations are run by business majors who often have a disdain for computer science. Usually this leads to not hiring the top security experts (either through lack of knowledge or not wanting anyone smarter than themselves at the wheel).

Why do you need an externally defined unique ID?

If I tell you that i am Spooky23, 123 Main St, anytown, AK, spooky23@example.com, what more uniqueness do you need?

Hoarding passport numbers, drivers licenses, ssn, etc usually doesn’t serve a legitimate purpose. When it is required to meet compliance or other requirements (say an payroll processor who needs an SSN to withhold taxes), it needs to be protected and have access controls.

Marriott does not have any need to authoritatively know who I am beyond payment arrangements. I'm not borrowing money from Marriott, so they don't need my SSN. They may need my passport when I check into an international hotel to meet compliance requirements, but they don't need to store it in a reservation system, and don't need to store it beyond the international jurisdiction where I checked in.
Its likely that all major enterprises are waiting for Oracle to come up with data -at-rest-encryption and then they will likely follow along.

As more my own personal advice... Recognize that you will have to:

1. fire people you like.

2. give up the option to work directly on code

3. spend more times in meetings

4. budget time more carefully

5. be careful what you say (things get misinterpreted)

> Once you begin with the premise of “I need an open source business model”, it leads you down a path of “I need to monetize my project” rather than “I need to build a product that delivers value”.

This is exactly how I feel as well. I am working on an open source to-do list + calendar (https://getartemis.app), source at (https://github.com/satvikpendem/Artemis), and I try to subscribe to the same philosophy as Sentry[1] and Ghost[2], two popular products that are also open source but do not avoid generating revenue because of that.

One must always strive to compete, whether it be through business model, or more often, product. You can release a good proprietary product, or similarly, a bad open source product; the quality of being open source does not necessarily add nor detract from the quality of the product itself. Sure, one can `git clone` the product, but due to the other factors in the business, the "soft skills" such as marketing, branding, sales and general business development, no one can reliably copy the company still generate substantial revenue [3].

This is not to say, however, that if your company is infrastructure such as a database, that no one will copy and monetize that better than you; they may, even in general usage of the product, but what is missing is the lack of vertical integration within the product. A database is just a part used in the whole of a new product, not the whole in and of itself. That is why if I desire to make substantial revenue from an open sourced product, I would make it a fully integrated product, just as any proprietary one, and that is what I am to do with Artemis.

Right, but it's like using a private key as an identifier. As soon as it's compromised you need to get a whole new ID.

I'd rather see something like Bitcoin's HD wallets used for identification - your private keys are on a hardware device, but you can generate new "personal identifiers" for use with public services that, if compromised, could be burned through a central registry without requiring a replacement of the private keys.
I opened this document expecting to have my mind expanded by learning about amazing new techniques for high-level software engineering. I was disappointed. A lot of it just seems to be about release engineering. Yeah, sure, release engineering is really hard and important for a company like Google, but it's of limited general interest. I was particularly disappointed by Google's indifference to the use of smarter languages than the Big 5 (C++, Java, Python, etc).

As an example of something that did expand my repertoire as a software engineer, check out this article by Jane Street:

I did the transition and made mistakes on the way. I'm probably not that great a leader so you can take this with a pinch of salt. What would have helped me at the time was:

You will probably be a bit incompetent at first but that is part of the process. Maybe keep a diary of interactions you have with the team so that at the end of each day you can reflect on what you might have done differently. It's ok as long as your always striving to improve.

One of my main goals as tech leader is it get people to stay at the company! To do this you should know what your direct reports personal aspirations are, and have a clear future plan you have both decided on to get them there. You should both be reviewing this all the time.

Don't assume things about people, just ask. Some people actually like being micro-managed! Although, try to give your good people freedom within boundaries/budgets/constraints, get them to come to you if they want to go outside those boundaries. Give your bad people explicit tasks, set appropriate deadlines for them, coach them to be good people.

Try and delegate everything that you think can be handled by a team member (and they want to do it) and isn't personal development. Don't be laissez faire about it, if you delegate to someone write it down and check-in with them at an appropriate time about the task. Be disappointed when they don't complete the task in the agreed time.

You might think you have to be the charismatic leader who can inspire people to eat shit all the time but that is just not true. There are many different styles of leadership. In sales for example you can go far with contingent reward. There is also a lot of bollocks written about leadership so try and stick to facts when learning.
