I somewhat disagree about #2: you can (and I have) ask your doctor to get an MRI or X-ray from a standalone imaging center rather than a hospital. That alone can shave about 60% off your bill. The "but only somewhat" part is that if your doctor really prefers a certain imaging provider, they may steer you in that direction. Ultimately, though, it's your call.

Disclosure: I work at Amino, but I'm speaking from personal experience and not for them.
I originally built a service to detect exactly this kind of large-scale injection of content and similar occurrences (e.g. library prevalence etc). This is a perfect example of how to find the GoDaddy injected content: https://urlscan.io/search/#%22tcc_l.combined.1.0.6.min.js%22

Another provider I found doing something similar is 000WebHost: https://urlscan.io/search/#filename%3A000webhost They "just" inject a footer with an image and a link to their service though. Not sure how common this is in the low-cost hosting space.
but why should they improve your experience, who has ad-block enabled and as such not creating any value to the website owner?

It annoyed me as well before, though I realized as I stopped going there that this is for the best... for both my sanity and the websites bottom line.
> Th problem so far is that the nuclear industry is really secretive.

Why is that a problem? Do you want to make it easier for countries to figure out how to build nuclear bombs? Generally I'm a big fan of open source and so on, but when it comes to nuclear or dangerous biological agents, I prefer having these things locked away really well.
Given the currently known evidence, conversion disorder is the most viable explanation. While new evidence could change that, there's nothing wrong with reporting on what currently seems to be correct. The referenced reports do the same thing, state what they find most likely and say that further evidence could change this. They aren't just printing their guess.
Sure, but I see it as similar to the teacher giving you your test back: you get time to talk to your friends, prepare yourself, whatever before you actually see your grade (rather than it just popping up on your screen). In both, you do eventually have to see your grade, and you're not going to be thinking of much else while the teacher is going around passing out the test. Of course, I hadn't considered viewpoint when designing the feature, so it's not perfect, but I think it does a somewhat decent job (also, notifications are off by default, again, not because I had this issue in mind, but because I didn't want the iOS notification permission alert being the first thing that showed up when users launched the app).

You have no idea what you’re taking about. There are 28 million uninsured Americans and millions more who are unable to afford treatment due to high deductibles.[2]

You cherry-picked one statistic, but overall the U.S. has worse health outcomes vs other high income countries while spending 2X as much.[3]

This seems like a pretty extreme viewpoint.
My high school system used to convert those to zeroes, just FYI. Anything that was nonnumeric and not a fixed set of "aliases" (for example, "pass" might mean 100% if the teacher set it up that way) became a zero.
I wonder if it could just be that the child abuse workers can more easily verify cases over the weekends. Maybe they need to talk to parents (who are likely working other days) before they can mark it as verified?
I didn’t see an explanation (or theory) given for why there isn’t a problem on the other days of the week. Did I just miss it?

The obvious guess would be people go get drunk on Friday night then come home mad their kid got a bad grade... But I am surprised that it’s somehow not an issue on other weekdays.
Using spaced repetition systems to see through a piece of mathematics
Agree. To put it another way in hope of driving this home:

It is sad when the brightest minds in the world decide that the fix for "flash of unstyled content" is to show no content at all for close to 10 seconds.

Seriously: 8 seconds mandatory waiting would have been considered slow even 10 years ago and the only reason it passes now is because Google got a stranglehold on most of the web.

Edit: improve last paragraph
I find this whole situation ironic because whenever I come across a news article online of some Third World country making an improvement, mostly in regards of human rights like Saudi Arabia allowing women to drive or Tunisia passing inheritance equality laws, the general response is "Meh, this shouldn't have been an issue to begin with".

When it comes to the U.S., particularly with anything that involves its helathy care system, the slightest event is considered a step in the right direction. Well guess what? I wholeheartedly believe that it is both sad and pathetic to consider this as a win for the people against the healthcare industry. A country as rich as the U.S. and that spends on healthcare per capita more than other countries like Canada, should not have a for profit system.

A "hospital's retail price list" is the epitome of a for profit system, those words shouldn't even be in the same sentence together.

I understand that HN crowd is probably in the top 10% of the country so advocating for the system to change probably is of no concern to us, but let's not lie to people and say things are getting better when they clearly are not.

> deMause, L. (2002). The emotional life of nations. London, England: Karnac Books.

> Abstract

> Describes a psychogenic theory of history, arguing that childrearing and the interpersonal expression of love impact upon the national and international arenas with greater force than any bomb. The author discusses the role of mothers in political progress, our psychological dependency on our enemies, and the concept of the "social alter"--that part of the mind that infinitely restages social trauma. Furthermore, he delineates the ways in which inadequate parenting and overabundant technology interact to produce the crises of our age. Part I of this book describes how shared early personal experiences determine political behavior. The three chapters describe historically recent political events to demonstrate how shared emotions can cause political violence. Part II details a psychohistorical theory of history, first as it applies to politics and second as it explains the causes of war. Part III is a history of how child rearing has evolved and how more loving, trustful parenting has produced new kinds of human psyches, which in turn have resulted in new social and political institutions.

A lemon is not a car that is about to have major problems, but one that has had many problems in the past. The current owner knows if they have a lemon or not.

Sure, to some extent. Anyway, all I'm saying is that this example is less clear-cut than the authors make it out to be.

Just to drill into this a little more: say a person has a 10 year old car, that has needed a timing belt and a water pump in the last year (but no major problems before that). Is that a lemon? Arguably. Or it could just be a 10 year old car that's needed two of the common repairs required of cars as they age. Is it going to need more major repairs soon? Hard to say. It could be that the low-hanging fruit have been picked off now, and that it's going to be fine for several more years.

Knowing if you have a peach or not is more complex, but as the owner of a 10 year old car that has had nothing go wrong with it, I a reluctant to sell it despite being able to afford a much newer car - why take the risk of getting a lemon when I can just keep driving my current car.

Sure, but if everybody thought that way, nobody with a functioning car would ever upgrade to a new car. And we know from observation that that is not the case. People buy new cars for all sorts of reasons, and quite often they sell their old car as a consequence.

This also ignores the fact that there are signals a buyer can use that correlate to the quality of the used car, even if they aren't perfect indicators. Mileage and year, for example. And price discrimination based on these factors obviously takes place. It seems clear that there is a market for used cars across a varying continuum of "goodness".
> If I could, I'd have a 4x8 foot display with no decrease in pixel density. I.e. an incredible number of pixels.

i think you would find this setup to be really poor.

you need be within ~2ft viewing to appreciate the difference between 1080p and 4k at 24" diagonal display size.

sitting 2ft from an 8ft wide display will give you very poor viewing angles for the majority of the content. at greater distances than 2ft, the pixel density of a 4k 24" display become nothing more than waste of gpu, cpu and electricity.
My company pays for my phone. I can upgrade every 18 months. My latest upgrade date has come and gone, but I haven't bothered to do it since my current phone (iPhone 7 plus) still works as well as it did the first day I got it. The only reason I can foresee getting a new phone is if next year's iPhone includes a headphone jack. Now that would be an improvement worth getting.

Ask HN: Lessons learned from using JIRA/similar for an interdisciplinary team?
My company is a startup transitioning to 100 people. Most are hardware engineers.

Project 1, I set it up and had under 10 engineers:

1. hosted bitbucket.

2. google docs.

3. kept requirements to a minimum in google sheets

I joined project 2 halfway through (setup by others). About 40 engineers:

1. Enterprise bitbucket, JIRA, Confluence and Bamboo

2. Gitlab CE for system level issues

3. IBM Rational DOORS for requirements. Traceability required.

4. Windows fileserver hosted by us because its "Not in the cloud". No more google docs.

Software guys are happy with JIRA, hardware guys happy with gitlab but there is not transparency in between. DOORS's gotta go. The fileserver, with word_final_v2.doc's causing issues. Often files are on personal volumes and shared by slack (in the cloud but nobody noticed).

I checked some options to replace DOORS and add some other tools for verification and change management. Along the way, JIRA emerged as the only option that was a single system. It seemed good to use the same tools as our software group and maybe Confluence can help our documentation. Reporting seems good.

Project 3/standard tools:

1. Enterprise bitbucket, JIRA, Confluence and Bamboo

2. Requirements/Test 4 JIRA. Maintained by only a few people (so I am confident it can be implemented well)

3. Begrudgingly keep using the windows fileserver for other files.

I wrote a script to migrate to JIRA. Red flag 1: there are many scripts to migrate from JIRA to gitlab, but none in the other direction. Red flag 2: any forum post about JIRA is full of complaints. The more I use it, the more the UI seems inconsistent. All of that said, JIRA still looks like the best option and the dashboards do what was a manual job in gitlab.

What I actually want to ask HN is, are there some lessons learned about trying use JIRA and Confluence (or similar tools) in interdisciplinary teams? Any tips to keep the 1-2 times per week users happy?
I'm not a programmer. I'm a writer and a designer. Coding is what I do when I don't do either – less as a hobby and more a way to vent my creative frustration.

Aesthetics is important to me. Being in an ugly environment brings me down. Fira Code brings positive aesthetics with it. And ligatures are cool.

I'm the kind of a person that does things simply because they're cool.
I'm curious, how are you defining "the like"? The list of people denied service looks a lot more like those you wouldn't want preceding your Coca-Cola ad buy. Why would Patreon care? Because payment networks care.

8chan
Encyclopedia Dramatica
BitChute

If you expand the scope beyond Patreon and include Paypal then you can throw in:

Wikileaks
Numerous Antifa chapters
World Socialist Web Site

As somebody who has been involved with bitcoin since 2012, I can tell you from first hand experience that when Visa declares you a persona non grata - a large number of businesses quickly do the same. Yes, the full list of Patreon service denials includes a lot of unsympathetic figures - but you'd be a fool to think that this behavior doesn't shift with the Overton window (welcome back to the world of crypto currency, Dwolla, betcha feel silly for screwing up that perfect opportunity Paypal gave you).
Enabling HTTPS only should stop this right?

Or are they able to inject it even then since they are the hosting provider?
Over the last couple years Google has acted like a dictator on the web. No more autoplay... except if you're Youtube, or these 100 approved sites. If you use Chrome... oh now you're auto signed in. You opt out of location tracking - we'll still track you, we don't care.

Don't give Google more power.

Implementing your website in AMP is basically handing the keys of the web over to Google. They're going to make it more and more ridiculous to stay AMP-compliant and you're going to be shut out if you don't play their game. Eventually they'll enable/disable features of AMP-based sites arbitrarily... similar to how they determine autoplay policy on their "approved sites list." Do you think Google should be the all-powerful being that determines what features you can have on your website? That's the future you're opting into if you implement AMP.
AMP and PWA are pile of shits designed to lock users to Google.
AMP is about guarantees that you can't have with regular JS. You guarantee to not do any sync JS and document.write() stuff when you use AMP. Personally, I plan to use AMP to make a better indexation of my app which I do as a SPA, and which seems to be poorly indexed by Google. I'll make sitemap pointing to AMP pages with content, which has "see full view" link on it.
The web isn't what it was back in the 90s and early 2000s though. Back then, you wanted a website to last because there wasn't much on the web to begin with. Those of us who were online owned a reasonable amount of web bookmarks that led us to nice solid pages that were designed to load nice and fast over slower connections.

Nowadays, the landscape is way different. There are just so many "normal folk" on the internet now that content is being consumed at an alarming rate. There is so much stuff on the internet now, that even Youtube videos have become disposable. Most of the stuff that people read and watch now is consumed once and then never visited again because there's just not enough time to revisit the insane amount of content we're exposed to.

Nowadays, why does it matter if a website is made "brittle" if the content isn't going to matter in a few months anyways? And if you do want to archive something for later, shouldn't the words on the page matter more than the code behind it? After all, if a user 12 years from now wants to read your article, all they're going to want is your words and pictures. Code is always brittle because new technology makes everything obsolete.

I’m very curious why unions are “obliged” to defend non-members. Is it a state/federal law?
Well, what if you want to measure small fractions of a second? If your timestamps have significantly higher resolution than a nanosecond, you've used up your extra 32 bits. And there is technology that operates on much shorter intervals, like about 10^-18 seconds. While it may not be very relevant today, if you really want to future proof things for the next 1000 years, I think you need around 90 bits or more.

"12 attoseconds is the world record for shortest controllable time"

https://phys.org/news/2010-05-attoseconds-world-shortest.htm...

After further consideration, the ultimate timestamp would be able to denote any point in time measured in Planck units (10^-44 seconds) between the beginning of the universe and its ultimate heat death in about 3 x 10^21 seconds. Therefore 218 bits should be enough for anyone.

I don't enjoy how the paper is blaming the writer and is not accounting for their obvious lack of facts checking because of their liking of "a good story". It's definitely a discussion worth from both sides, punching down on a pressured human being lacks good taste.

Anecdotal, but I'm in the same position when it comes to my laptop update. I'm eligible to update my corporate MacBook every two years, but so far I'm still sticking with my 5-year-old MacBook Pro Retina (13") because none of the current options provide a clear benefit for me and the downside is potentially huge (no native Linux, unreliable keyboard, dongle-life). As long as the battery doesn't die on me I'll keep using this thing.
I'd never made that connection before, but you're right. There are definitely parallels to be drawn.
I seem to recall that another mathematician, John Conway, did something a bit like that: perhaps he had set up his computer to force him to do his "Doomsday" algorithm in his head whenever he logged on, or something like that. I can't remember exactly (perhaps I'm going a bit senile).
They being both left and right.
Companies that do this kind of garbage don't deserve your dollars. Its not enough to apologise after the fact, or offer opt-out, or any other half measures. I'm moving my domains over to someone else this week because of this.
You don’t cite any evidence to support your claim. Most U.S. doctors graduate with >$100K in medical education debt. Other countries have better health outcomes, so that pretty much kills your “worse service” claim.

In this case, you gain the Apollo helpers around entity management, caching, etc. and the components they've already created for sending queries & mutations – so the ecosystem basically.

Also if you're planning in the future to migrate the API to GraphQL, and this is just a first step, you'll be able to leave most of the frontend code you wrote the same and just switch out the "link" part. It's kinda like how most languages have generic database adapters where you don't need to think about whether you're talking to MySQL/Postgres/SQLite etc. most of the time.
Non-competes are heavily restricted in the UK under the basic principles of free competition, anti-slavery and anti-trust.

No noncompete clause can go further than is reasonably necessary to protect a legitimate business interest, otherwise it is unenforceable. The burden of proof is on the employer.

No individual can be prevented from plying their trade by contract with another.

I'm amazed in the land of the free that any of these things could stand up in a court. It's like reintroducing indenture.

Actually, yes, for two reasons. Firstly, because you'll be beaten on (say) wednesday night, rather then friday night and potentially also saturday morning, saturday night, sunday morning and sunday night. Secondly, because you'll be beaten less severely, for fear that there might be a teacher who cares enough to notice if you show up thursday with bruises and a limp.
The broader point is that animals thought to be purely herbivores are in actual fact 'opportunistic omnivores': they'll supplement their diets with animal biomass (including bones) if given an opportunity. This is especially common animals that are unable to get complete nutrition or caloric intake from their existing diet.

Another interesting concept is 'placentophagy' (mammals being observed eating their own placentas post pregnancy).
