You can always come up with two options, for any problem. If one of them is terrible or expensive, say it anyway, and now you look like you’re making justified decisions and thinking things through.

The brilliance of “Design Thinking” is basically the same thing — designers and creative thinkers do their work as usual, but they present it as if they’re following some kind of methodology that even people who don’t understand the work can get around.

In the background, all of your engineering decisions are likely based in some kind of business truth, so bring it out and talk about it instead of Java GC tuning or other non-business nonsense.

All countries inflate GDP, because there is always a gap of uncertainty about existing economic activity and governments like larger numbers. And since Chinese growth is higher than in other parts of the world, it is normal that the gap be larger, in the range of 1%.

It just happened that I had a paper discussing IVF vs IVM last week. There are some researches, inconclusive, that suggest that state-paid IVF/IVM is beneficial for the country, as a newly minted citizen on average will produce significantly more in the tax revenue than an original bill for the procedure, even if you consider 1/5 chance of success for such procedure.

Obviously, it is not clear cut. At the very least likely there is an upper limit how many citizens country can support, but certainly, it is not a 100% undesirable for the state to fund such procedures.

It's 10 years later, what has changed? Not that much. I am not aware of any Linux distro that comes with an LSM to prevent nonsense/dangerous names.

All distros I have used use UTF-8 locales by default now, so that part of his lengthy argumentation could nearly be removed. In Yocto though, non-ASCII characters on the command line still cause havoc. Well, Yocto is not a distro, but a way to build your own. So one needs to replace several standard tools like vi, less, etc. from busybox by the "full" version.

Your response makes a lot of sense. It is a shame that after people like Summers (or that Google guy) talk about these issues, the talks about how to attack whoever wrote the piece drowns out attacks on the idea. It may vary well be that your theory is right. In that case I would hope that the discourse would go as follows. Summers submits an article about how variance is the reasons for difference between men and women in careers. Then someone like you submits an article explaining why the first theory is incorrect. Then Summers explains why your critic is incorrect. After enough back and forth, other scientists in the field start to join the conversation, some agreeing with Summers other with you. After enough time the scientific consensus gravitates to one side.

However currently whenever someone talks about this, the response is not "let's argue your conclusion" but rather "burn the witch".
> I’d still prefer the state over private insurance companies (Medicare is well run and popular). And I vote accordingly.

Thats perfectly reasonable, but no need to make a single payer system for that. Just allow medicare to compete in the open market. Thats a much smaller program with a lot less risk.

Unfortunately the chances of such a plan to succeed are nil. Thats why big healthcare reform proposals want to strong-arm the position, with single-payer proposals. Its true medicare is popular, but remember it's free insurance for its patients today. If you eliminated the medicare payroll tax and made it a monthly payment, I assure you old people will not have the same opinion on the topic.

All the countries that have tried it are less in the red than the U.S. by any financial measure, and have longer life expectancies/lower infant mortality rates/better aggregate outcomes than the U.S., which is typically at the bottom of the scale for first world nations where medical outcomes are considered. And they spend less public dollars per capita than the U.S., which is an ironic twist.

The pure, brute facts show that taxpayer-funded universal health care is a vastly superior means of making healthcare accessible, effective and less expensive than any other setup, especially the American one. Your health care system is an insane joke that annually kills tens of thousands of Americans needlessly.

You're on the right track! I think it's great how you're thinking about this.

Without spoiling too much, it's a cellular automata that you're manipulating parameters for as it runs - so the genome itself doesn't specify how the pump will beat, only how the state will change in the next generation (which will depend on the current state). That's why a genome doesn't give the same output every time - they only define how it will change, not what it will be.

There are multiple genomes that will give you the "ordered" pump, but we can guarantee there's only one Havoc codon that fulfils the criteria we specified. The solution is revealed after you submit a correct answer, and it definitely sounds like you're close (if you haven't found it already).
Do you know what else affects people in a practical way, and not purely in the world of ideas?

Having to choose between medicine and the rest of life's necessities. "Can I afford both my kid's insulin and my rent this month?"

That's a real-world consequence which, offhand, only the US healthcare system offers.
Indian numbers could be fudged, but is out in the bare for financial firms, banks and bond holders to examine.

And yes, India's GDP is probably higher because of the gigantic informal economy. People are richer than their tax documents make them seem.

I would be very interested in the details. I keep hearing about friends of friends who pull $80,000 driving a truck, $120,000 when they own one and half a mil once they own a couple. Too lazy to actually do the research, but curious how close these claims are to the truth.

Obviously you are seeing a very different picture, and yours actually comes from experience.

At great cost to society. There should be no federal funding on this. This is one of the gravest reasons why healthcare is so expensive in the U.S. It subsidizes big corpo, big hospitals, then subsidizes richest employees, eliminating the most basic price mechanisms for competition.

Not only does it do all the subsidizing, but it also makes it expensive by putting extremely costly regulation.

But thats a whole topic on its own: government funding of healthcare research is not efficient and does not make it cheaper in any way.

It seems that Radar queues can only grow.
Both Blue Oak and Apache are relatively modern permissive licenses, but they differ intentionally in design. In the short to medium term, I foresee that many projects will continue to choose Apache where contributions from large software patent holders are essential, because of Apache's complex rules on patent scope. At the same time, I think large software patent holders will prefer to receive code under the uncomplicated Blue Oak patent grant, even as they insist on Apache's mazelike compromise for outbound contributions.
Yes there was a reason: once you change one thing you open everything else up for discussion as well. And while that would probably lead to a better guide (for us) than Google's, the time and thought involved in that would take away from solving the problems we wanted to solve in the first place.

> It’s okay to log bugs that are missing information; developers can ask for specifics of what they need. In general, for AppKit related bugs, I would find that a “sysdiagnose” rarely would provide any useful information. I would hate it when people (usually QA, and not the engineers who worked on the code) would ask me for a sysdiagnose, when I know it wouldn’t help them figure anything out.

Yeah, except Bug Reporter nags you multiple times for a sysdiagnose if you don't attach one (they have been slowing adding these, I've noticed), and if you ignore these screening is going to send it back to you a week later, without reading the bug, asking for you add one. Sometimes if you do have the sysdiagnose they'll ask for something equally stupid (system profile, usually).
Libertarians Attend State Convention
Access to leading-edge potential treatments is a minor concern in health care: few need it, fewer qualify, and fewer are helped. Even then, your statement is false: leading edge medical research is carried out in all countries with universal health care.

The U.S. has an infant mortality rate worse than 43 other countries because large numbers of pregnant women can't access routine prenatal care. That's but one example of what real health care concerns are like.
Ah yes, my bad -.-

Can we do something about every article remotely ctitical of China being flagged.

I'm assuming that's what happened since this article very quickly moved from 1st place to below other articles that are older and have far fewer comments and upvotes.

Edit: currently #21 despite more upvotes and comments and being newer than the top 3 articles.
I always read that "we really need your personal data for no good reason but the EU won't let us, god bless America!"

It really should be a 500 error, not a 400.

Edit: Listen, USA, it's not so difficult, and we all really need to stop siphoning off everyone's data like it's no big deal, laws or not. I wrote some stuff for the GDPR, just had to remove some emails from our database, and honestly, we shouldn't have been collecting them in the first place and neither should you. This surveillance capitalism we're all building is not a good thing and you should not be complicit in it.
The web we can all look forward to I am sure. Once we start to divide it, the division will continue. Our ability to read stories of real people will be limited by our own attempts to protect the people. I don’t know where this will lead, but it seems something is lost.
As an outside observer, another example would be the constant redefinition of US unemployment (I hear it is now "people who haven't actively sought work for 3 months are no longer considered unemployed") which IIRC from an article has dropped US unemployment figures. It sounds like reality may differ substantially, and there is certainly a huge underground/cash economy.
Ironically, many governments dictate that you can't include government charges like sales tax in price advertisements.
I agree, that in a form current insurance companies exists - i.e. perpaid medical discounts plan, they should be removed.

People should be getting insurance from insurable events - i.e. accident, heart attack, etc. Not from routine vaccination, annual checkup, seasonal cold.

High-deductible plans are a hack to get people to pay for more of routine stuff and I think it moves into the right direction.
In Canada, 16% of the money spent on health care is spent on administration; in the U.S., 28%. Tell me again how the free market is more efficient?
That is not correct. The quote is "It’s not as easy for a Bulgarian to go live in France AND claim French citizenship compared to a Californian fully moving to Texas" (emphasis added).

In the interest of promoting honest discourse, please do not truncate people's statements. If a Californian "fully" moves to Texas, i.e., establishes domicile there, then they become a citizen of Texas. That is a key difference.
Legal theory of operation for warranty disclaimers and damages exclusions---the ALL CAPS bits of old licenses---remains mostly speculation, especially with contract-license ambiguity. But most studied opinions I'm aware of, including my own, doubt that 0BSD, Unlicense, and other terms without terms-notice rules ensure meaningful protection. For evidence of a view even more skeptical than Blue Oak's, see section 8 of Apache 2.0:

https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0#additional

There are jurisdictions where the whole issue is moot, since meaningful warranties simply can't be disclaimed. But disclaimer, exclusion, and limits on liability are enforceable in many jurisdictions, including the vast majority of the United States.
You realize Medicare Part C and D are entirely run by private companies right?
> “How much does he deserve”. Welcome to America.

Sure, that’s a good way to hyperbolically sum up a country or society, but it is very hyperbolic, and one could construct hyperbolic summations of other countries or societies too. Like “everyone deserves everything, regardless of their effort or contribution or ability.”

The truth is probably somewhere in the middle.

I recently left a job at a company with a primarily perl 5 codebase. I would never choose to use perl to start a new project.

They could. I'm sure some do. But I think you're missing the point.

Tesla aren't saying "this is how much you could save", they're taking that number off the purchase price until you walk through the checkout.
In college I remember a professor saying something similar caused problems during the Great Leap Forward. The local cadres were overestimating their production numbers so the central government exported rice to Albania or other allies thinking they had a surplus when in fact there was a shortage. I'm sure that wasn't the only reason there were problems at the time, but it didn't help.
We have the same stuff in France. You lose on benefits as a contractor. But you do not lose on healthcare. That’s a basic human right.
I'd date what we now call "MIT" back further, to X10R3 in February of 1986. That's based on secondary sources. I'd love direct evidence if it's out there. Preferably a verified copy of the license to keep in my office. ;-)
This article doesn’t support your original claim at all.
That’s why some stuff like health care should not be privatized. Because the market will always go against it.
Maybe the problem there is multiple actors rather than regulations.
Do another online MS CS degree from a top school like Georgia Tech, UIUC, UAustin etc. and study everything you ever wanted to know. That should keep the technological fire inside you. As a bonus, you can do iMBA at UIUC in parallel and have both engineering and management covered.

Or alternatively, they’re saying that the legislation is so confusing that figuring out how to abide by it is not worth the risk and cost.
The headline is wrong. It's not a regulator telling anything. A regulator would be a federal or state body making a decision (which then might be challenged in court). It's an organization which maybe could be called a self-regulation body threatening with a lawsuit. And Tesla agreeing "voluntarily" to stop the practice. Well, voluntarily, because they obviously admit that their previous practice would be deemed illegal in court.
It’s somewhat tricky. I operate a discourse instance. I have absolutely no desire to collect any personal information on my users(it is a free website and I am an anarchist), but I also live in the US and haven’t looked in to GDPR. The website is a hobby. I pay for the severs myself and do not display ads or use any tracking. I don’t intend to violate GDPR but I don’t know what it’s impkications are. For now I continue to make the site available for all, but if I felt there were legal implications to including Europe, I’d have to decide whether to block that region or do my due diligence. I’d want to include Europe given the subject of my site, but it’s something I haven’t looked in to yet.

I do sometimes view sites that make a big deal out of it as whining, but I admit that I’m not familiar with what compliance requires.
Can't access, or don't?

Medicaid will pay for prenatal care, and there are other options as well.
The US BLS has long kept many different measures of unemployment.

All of these numbers are watched to extreme degrees by market participants. The idea that they are constantly redefined doesn’t hold up to basic analysis by anyone who has traded on that data.
This is what bothers me... I once donated to a GoFundMe run by someone I know (not really friends) - their house got heavy water damage in Houston a couple of years ago.

Only a couple weeks later to see pictures of them buying a new car from a dealership to their son.

I do not know... Perhaps it is because me, who unlikely to ever buy a new car (despite having several Xs of income than that family) or perhaps the fact they were not committed 100% to solve their immediate problem themselves first and instead looked for someone to donate some extras - it pissed me off. Unlikely to ever donate to anyone ever again, unless I know for sure people are in genuine trouble.
ObMeta: here it seems FSD means "Full Self-Driving".
Kubernetes allows for an opinionated way to deploy your applications with many good practices being a part of the deployment cycle. I would say that the tooling matters, and having _some_ common way of deploying applications is a great way to enable developers who may only want to focus on their code but also want more control over their deployment pipeline. In summary:

* enables dev teams to do their own ops (mostly) instead of having a centralized ops team which needs to set things up and be on call for stuff when it break. This allows scaling up your organization, since once a couple of teams are setup, you can simply keep adding more and more teams and replicate the same deployment pipeline to all

* trains development teams to do more ops level stuff without getting lost in the weeds. They no longer need to worry about DNS, SSL Certs, LoadBalancers etc., they just use kubernetes ingress and services. Of course they can dig more if they want to but the defaults appear to be sensible enough for most

* promotes a cattle v/s pets model and allows teams to rapidly iterate without worrying about breaking the system in unknown ways
