That's what is typically said about hospitals and other institutions (like universities). But I don't really know, because the cost of medical care in this country is obscured beyond belief. Check out the horror multitude of horror stories people have in figuring out the costs they incurred at hospitals.
I've done this before for a job that wasn't worth the stress and hassle. Unplugged my phone and went out of town for a week. One of the best decisions I've ever made.

Very nice, curious to see how we could learn from each other :)
I'm not sure how that's much different to any executive position.

Your typical executive will have a base pay well over 200k, and then get a contract kickback based on performance. I have my doubts that any Senator actually makes as much as say... a Microsoft Executive.

And that's like, minor executive level. If you're a 3-letter executive (CEO, CFO, etc. etc.), expect $million+ paychecks with stock compensations on top of that, based on performance. Consider the Sears CEO who destroyed the company, he's making millions extra in bonuses, with a golden parachute to land safely even as the company withers and dies.

https://money.cnn.com/2018/03/29/news/companies/sears-ceo-ra...

He's got enough sense to wipe out his base pay to $1. But we all know that's a fake number anyway. In any case, the amount of money a Senator makes from their position or power is tiny in comparison to positions in private companies. The fact is: the US Government is not in the business of making money. They're in the business of providing essential services to the citizens (Military, Police, Post Office, etc. etc.), of which doesn't typically make a profit.
I came to the comments to see how this can even be done. It seems like a classic case of a CEO promising something that engineering can't deliver, but Zuck is quite technical himself so I'd be surprised by that.

AFAIK, end to end encryption can't really support having multiple clients all using the same account. For example, WhatsApp's web interface is sort of wonky and goes via the phone, to get around the limitations, and I can't really see that being a solution here.

Of course, "end to end" encryption from a Messenger on the website is sort of meaningless anyway.
Youtube creators already have the ability to create series inside playlists.

Right. this article is someone who has no credibility for their own argument trying to borrow credibility from a dead person by outlandishly claiming that the famous dead person agrees with them.
Software engineers, IT, EE, ME, tend to be paid significantly less than they would make outside of gov service. This of course varies a bit by level, but it's generally true.
Last time we encountered this sort of problem, the answer was unionization/collective bargaining. Monopsony exists almost exclusively because of regional/area dependency. By its nature, this problem can't be dealt with by offshoring jobs on the company's part, and requires a local labor force. Unions allow the labor class to raise the floor on the lowest things they're willing to accept.

One of the largest problems towards this is the 40 year smear campaign that neoliberals have been on against unions. Somehow they got the working class to believe that each special individual is better on his own when bargaining against a massive corporation.
For NY, peds get right of way at all road intersections, marked or not.
Yes. Instagram is no longer unique photo sharing service.

So far I've decided to change my habit, delete it from my phone and only use instagram on my desktop, at least facebook can't track my location information.
>I've always wondered why two-weeks notice is so engrained culturally when an employee decides to leave on their own.

I'm torn. On one hand, just not showing up is a pretty crappy thing to do to anyone in any situation. On the other, you're right; a company may be perfectly fine leaving you high and dry without notice. Sometimes people in our position get severance or even a heads up, but often times people don't. It's not fair, but I suppose the reality is that many will want a good recommendation, but no one pegs the boss with a layoff.
I've had a CO2Meter monitor for about a year now, and I have mine connected to a Raspberry Pi. I use a node script to push readings to a database on my NAS, and to fire an IFTTT webhook to my Nest to turn on the fan when CO2 levels hit a certain threshold.
>I want this so bad. My hatred for the automobile grows every day.

>We are slaves to the automobile in so many ways.

>Sucks that I had to live in the time period with them.

Focusing your hatred on inanimate man-made objects does not address the root of the problem (and is probably not healthy). You wouldn't blame crowbars for break-ins (I mean you might, but I hope you don't).

The way forward is to develop superior alternatives (in the same way that the car succeeded the horse) not to increase cost. Increasing cost is zero sum at best. Developing better solutions is a net gain. Also, there's only so much pedestrianization you can do. Unless you turn LA (for example) into Manhatten density wise it is always going to be fundamentally pedestrian unfriendly because most of it was designed around cars. Cities that were designed when people walked everywhere and goods were transported in animal drawn carts are going to be more walk-able. Some amount of individual and private (they are different things) transit will always be necessary (assuming quality of life is to stay the same or increase).
The following algorithm does not need any mutations:

quicksort (list)
if null(list) or else length(list) <= 1
return list
else
p = findpivot(list)
(lo, hi) = split(p, list)
return concat(quicksort(lo), quicksort(hi))

I still call it quicksort.
Yeah, this is the most annoying thing for me too. They have an endless stream of recommendations if you go to www.youtube.com/feed/recommended , so why not put it in the main page?

I can only assume that it's an intentional marketing thing to get people to watch other things.
On A:
temp = remote read of y;
if (temp >=1 && x >= 1)
A.x = A.x - 1;

On B:
temp = remote read of x;
if (temp >=1 && y >= 1)
B.y = B.y - 1;

I simplified the code a little by checking on the old value of x and y instead of the new one, but I could have written the code to check on the new value instead.
How come employers can't blacklist these badly behaving employees who don't give any notice before they quit?

Because government regulations only allows past employers to verify that 1) yes the employee worked here 2) this was his job title and 3) these are the date ranges when he worked. Telling anything about "was he a good employee or not" is grounds for a lawsuit.

That has removed incentives for employees to give notice before they quit.
Typically the suggested solution in these cases is parking at a commuter rail lot somewhere out of town and then taking the train in. Obviously that requires restraint and forward-planning in terms of how much stuff you can bring, but should be doable in most cases.
The author makes some excellent points about evaluating information presented to us on the internet. This jumping to conclusions that so many people make when they see a photo, or a video clip (like the Catholic high school student / Native Elder dustup recently) is so toxic to society. We would all do well to not only have this kind of conversation with our kids around the dinner table or on the drive to school, but with our friends and loved ones as well. Great article!
Is it? Genuine question, I don't know anything about that.
It's worth noting Jeremy and team are making these invaluable resources available for free, even though a lot of folks would be extremely happy to pay for them.

It's amazing to me that learning materials of such exceptional quality and deep practical application are available without a paywall, especially when everyone else seems to be cashing in on the AI hype with a myriad of paid nanodegrees and such.

Thank you, Jeremy and team, for everything you're doing!

Depends on if a hospital takes medicare/low income people (and if they do what % of them make up their patient population). They do not make profits off them and instead rely on wage earning people with insurance to cover the loss.
Ah, thanks for pointing that out. Will read up on my terminology ;)
The idea that the investigation is coming up dry, or that there's no evidence, seems like willful ignorance.

34 people have been indicted, including the president's campaign chairman (Paul Manafort), campaign manager (Rick Gates), lawyer (Michael Cohen), and national security advisor (Michael Flynn). Just today Roger Stone was indicted. Many of these people have pled guilty.
MRR is only one components of some raises. Some of the companies had millions of dollars a year in revenue, some had none.

The relevant metrics change depending on the company, industry, time since launch, capital raised, geography, etc.

> In the remarks, after discussing the phone’s interface and hardware, he spends an extended amount of time demonstrating how the integrated iPod leverages the touch screen before detailing the many ways Apple engineers improved the age-old process of making phone calls. “It’s the best iPod we’ve ever made,” Mr. Jobs exclaims at one point. “The killer app is making calls,” he later adds. Both lines spark thunderous applause. He doesn’t dedicate any significant time to discussing the phone’s internet connectivity features until more than 30 minutes into the address.

> The presentation confirms that Mr. Jobs envisioned a simpler and more constrained iPhone experience than the one we actually have over a decade later.

Having actually seen the video years ago, this article strikes me as a big mischaracterization of what Jobs said -- let alone envisioned, which only Jobs would know.

I don't remember the exact quote, but in the first couple minutes of the video, Jobs introduces the talk saying iPhone is going to revolutionize three industries by combining an iPod, a phone, and internet communication device.

Jobs was fully aware it was going to be huge for those three reasons combined. Had he not envisioned it was about having the internet in your pocket, he'd have stopped at it being an iPod that can place phone calls.
Elsagate videos would be a good next step; I suppose they wouldn't be covered by YT's announcement.
You're welcome! The most important takeaway, I think, is that to a certain degree, "in tune" is a matter of opinion (for fretted instruments, anyway). You can significantly change the tonal quality of the instrument while remaining "in tune". That's the neat thing about the James Taylor video... follow his method, and your guitar suddenly gets that James Taylor sound, very rich and resonant.

Try experimenting with modal tunings like DADGAD, too. It's much easier to get them "in tune", and you hear this beautiful resonance that guitars can make.

I brought this up on Facebook, and a friend who is an excellent player responded with his own tuning method. He tunes the A string to a reference (tuner, piano), and then tunes every other string to a fretted A note that is in tune with the open A string. This is probably more "in tune" than the highly resonant approach that I use.
The reason Jobs didn’t want to demo the Internet part of the phone was because it was terribly buggy at the time of the demo and they rehearsed a way to carefully navigate a few pages in a specific order that wouldn’t crash the browser.
I think I appreciate what you're saying but I don't think the analogy works exactly. How much crowbar marketing do you see in a day?
It's hard to will a platform into existence without distribution for it. For all they knew at launch, iPhone would flop as many new products do. Adding platform development into that risk directly hurt the chances of the product's success. But once it was evident that the product would succeed and could become the distribution mechanism for a platform, it made sense to open the internal SDK they already had for the built-in apps and turn it into a platform.
I wish they would fix their iPad app. I'm learning to play guitar with the JustingGuitar channel. Justin has created playlists that match his book that I bought. But as soon as I play a video from that list, it seems to lose that context.

Plus, on the iOS app there's no way to search within a channel or playlist. If I want to find Justin's lessons on a Nirvana song I have to search "justin guitar nirvana" rather than just "nirvana" when I'm on that channel.
Politics is innately emotional, and not a thing of reason.

Fundamentally, when people choose a leader, they will then follow that person. Its an innate characteristic of humans. Its not a Republican or Democrat thing, its simply a human thing.
There is a substantial difference on bringing an amendment to the floor for vote and letting all those who disagree with democracy vote against it and have that vote enshrined in permanent record for all to see versus not proposing it at all because "oh no it can never pass with those darn toot'n republicans!".

Its why the US Democratic party isn't seen as just objectively better than Republicans even in intellectual circles. They don't actually represent abject moralistic improvement or they would push such an agenda when they had power, even if it wasn't guaranteed to succeed. They should be pressing it even now, when they have only half of congress and don't hold the presidency, to paint their opponents as against policies most of the citizens agree with.

But they don't propose them because a majority are bought and paid for by the same interests that sponsor Republicans. Talk on campaign trails about fair elections or fixing flaws in democracy or the execution of the government are cheap. When they actually are in power and make no attempt on that front you see their true colors and who their true constituents are.

For all their flaws, at least Republicans constantly brought bills to repeal the ACA to a vote over and over for years under Obama. It was only once it actually had a chance of passing under Trump that they stopped doing it knowing it would self-sabotage their reelection campaigns if rednecks suddenly lost their healthcare in many states. But that doesn't justify the "blue team" never bringing the policies they campaign on to a vote even if they have no chance on passing, because that is the whole reason many people turn out to vote for them in the first place.

Its part of why Bernie is so popular. He has a track record of constantly pushing in committee single payer healthcare and similar policies like increased minimum wage. Even when he knows he has no chance of even reaching a vote with his legislation he still tries because its his job to do so and its what he owed his electorate for what he promised when they voted for him. Hes not alone in it, but hes absolutely in a minority of ethical congressmen willing to do so.

When I'd go to the doctor in Italy, I'd basically go the waiting room and take a number. When it was your turn (some doctors were pretty fast - 10/15 minute wait - others were slow) you'd go in and see the doctor. No other staff needed.

Compare and contrast with a US doctor who has a number of support staff, one of whom is probably full time doing nothing but insurance paperwork.

IDK all the details, but when the US looks more bureaucratic than Italy of all places... something isn't right.

Of course it's definitely a complicated system and more expensive end of life care is probably part of it too.
How do you propose getting around quickly in car-free city centers? Electric scooter services? I was in NYC the other day, and it was like 1 am and we were several blocks northwest of Times' Square, it was freezing and raining and public transportation was on late night service which would have required 20+ minutes of waiting around shivering for a bus, or a long-ish walk to the nearest subway station and another longish walk to the hotel. Instead we got a Lyft to pick us up in 3 minutes and were curbside at our hotel in no time.

I'm just trying to imagine what my (and my pregnant wife's) options would have been with a car-free version of NYC
All kinds of foreign tourists drive prices up for a lot of things, but nevertheless they really bring money to Mexican economy.
I had my big toe have surgery done when I lived on the border in California, a LONG time ago. It was a 25 minute drive from my house and a friend used the doctor prior.

1) US Doctor wanted $600 and in Mexico it was $85. Everything went well and I was happy I did it in Mexico.

2) I had to buy my needles and all other medicine that was used on me. Cost me $15. Weird buy that stuff, but back then people were afraid of used needles and cheap meds.

3) I also bought my antibiotics off the shelf and got 500 pills for $8. Meds in Mexico are so much cheaper.

I guess in my mind these are two separate things. I accept and acknowledge my ignorance of (and, likely, incapacity to understand) the deepest workings of the universe.

At the same time, I have not seen any reason to believe that the ultimate nature of the universe is the creation of a conscious architect/designer.

As the traditional line of thought goes: who created or designed the creator? If the universe is so complex that it required a conscious being to kick everything off, then wouldn't that being be of sufficient complexity to also require a designer?

I don't mean to say that I can even comprehend the concept of how this universe could have come into existence. Sure, I can grasp on some vague level the processes we've observed or inferred, but I doubt that anything resembling modern humanity can possibly wrap their heads around the ultimate origins.

So to me, it seems a bit of a cop out (or maybe just anthropomorphism) when we think "well, it must be like another guy doing it....just a bigger/better/smarter/older/whatever guy". It's like the old joke of "turtles all the way down". We think in terms of hierarchy and design so we imagine some point at the very top of the hierarchy, there's a tippy-top dog who must have been responsible for designing things.

But the idea that there's a creator who is basically a super-whatever and he is aware of us and cares about what we do seems as unlikely to me as turtles all the way down. Sure it could be the case as easily as anything else since I can't fathom what could have provided the ultimate start of everything. But I've yet to see any evidence or logic that suggests this is the case. If anything it would seem the opposite.

Frankly I would love reason to believe I had a clue about this because when I mull over the concept of "everything" it's a bit terrifying.
Technically speaking, C# does not have optionals so I don't think it can be argued that C# violates the patent unless it's generalized to include null propagation which operates on reference types.

Correct. This was referred to in John Carmack's remembrance:

"Steve first talked about application development for iPhone at the same keynote I was demonstrating the new ID Tech 5 rendering engine on Mac, so I was in the front row. When he started going on about 'Web Apps', I was (reasonably quietly) going 'Booo!!!'."

The media in the 21st century are simply what the textile workers were at some point in the 19th century.

News reporting has an unprecedented level of efficiency now, that a single website can serve hundreds of thousands of global visitors in the span of minutes. Compare this to the traditional methods of distributing news, such as a printed newspaper.

How long would it take to distribute the news via newspaper to, say, a million of readers spread out throughout the whole world, even if you used airplanes and fast trucks? The efficiency improvement here is on the scale of 2 orders of magnitude, at the minimum, perhaps more.

You can have 3 people in the pipeline now report an event to millions of people (e.g. 1 reporter at the physical location of the event, the editor at the news org. HQ, and, let's say a tech person to make sure it all works and gets published correctly). 100 years ago this would be impossible. Hell, even 30 years ago it would be near impossible.
Way to go Kris. I agree with him: if ghosting will cost the employer more and that employer has disrespected you, go for the ghosting. It is indeed easily as much a statement and as satisfying as any other method of quitting. So many employers treat their employees like shit that I feel this is what they should expect in probably 90% or more of cases. Employers' complaints will fall on deaf ears when they have been abusing employees for literally the entire existence of this relationship throughout history. Even jobs that pay well and have great perks (tech for example) often treat their employees like shit and then they complain that they can't hire enough or retain their employees. I generally prefer to always send a note and make things clear, but if I could hurt the employer who hurt me more by ghosting, I would definitely do that.

Employers should learn how to respect their employees if they don't want this and other things to happen to them. Otherwise, they deserve this and worse. They could have paid the couple thousand Kris requested and was promised in raises instead of losing $20k but they were assholes. They got what they deserved those fucking pieces of shit.
In IT recruiting, which I am exposed to since I have a linked-in account, there is a constant buzz of recruiters reaching out cold. I don't feel any obligation to answer them back about this and that. Because if you do, then they make you feel really bad about letting them down.

I fear that this will be another term that LinkedIn recruiters can throw in your face to make you respond. "Are you ghosting me???"
