Wait a second, all of that social stuff can be in pidgin as well.

What am I missing that is creating lock in other than the creators themselves creating lock in?

Since you specifically wanted me to answer about this topic: Preventative care has some nuance. Increased preventative services are not necessarily better, there is an actual ongoing debate about annual physicals in the medical community (http://time.com/5095920/annual-physical-exam/)

From an economic perspective, its not clear pushing for preventative will lower cost or increase quality. (many times it even has negative value, as reassuring a patient of being healthy when they aren't).

Fundamentally, if preventative cares are good people will naturally choose to invest in their own health. There is research showing that people are pretty good about healthcare utilization if they bear the cost (except poor peoeple)

It's got to be frustrating to write something like this up and immediately see people jump to, "Google is taking over the world again."

To be clear, this looks really promising. I particularly like the way that import maps are polyfilled. I kind of wish standard modules were flat-out required to be imported in versioned form, since that would open the door to better API versioning on the web in general, but... whatever, that's what the standards process is for, and it looks like that's something people are at least already talking about.

But the unfortunate side of things is that because of Chrome's history, it's really easy to read posts like this as, "here's a new thing, and btw we're shipping it tomorrow." That's not your fault, it's just what the environment is like right now.

> All your users should benefit from better performance, and Chrome 74+ users won't have to pay any extra download cost.

To me that sounds like, "post Chrome 74, we will have this feature turned on for production sites." If that's not the intent, and Chrome isn't planning to turn this feature on early, then I'm much more excited about the proposal.

Who says I need multiple machines? I just said if you're going to design for horizontal scale, then it becomes less of an issue. Also, there's a lot to be said for most of the code available already written. My time is worth far more than paying a couple extra $ a month to run an app on a second server/vps.

I just said that JS isn't so bad, and that language snobbery is worse when it means you're far less productive.

Ask HN: FastMail vs. ProtonMail?
I'm looking to de-google myself and these are two services that impress me.

>Fastmail offers 25 GB storage, full mobile sync with push: mail, contacts and calendars and your own domain name at $5/month

>Protonmail offers 5 GB storage, up to 1000 messages per day, send encrypted messages to external recipients, own domain and email aliases for 4€/Month

These are the comparable plans - price wise, but I'm honestly unsure which one to try. Any personal comments are appreciated. If you use either, I'd love some feedback if you may.

I agree.

The problem with a second referendum, though, is that the vote is to stay it won't be "the country" changing its mind. The country doesn't have one. If 5 percentage points of the previous 52% change their minds, the 47% that voted (Brexit, Brexit) will feel betrayed, as they will (actually) have been sold out. They were told that their first decision would count, then people-who-were-not-them demanded another vote, then people-who-were-not-them took their victory away.

Of course, those of us who voted (Remain, Remain) will be happy, but this isn't exactly analogous to a general election, where this kind of change-of-result is expected. The referendum was supposed to be a one-off, and 'those people' will have stolen Brexit.

I have a bit of sympathy for this position, but I have a lot more concern for the long-term consequences of reducing trust in the political process even further.
At the more desirable schools, tuition fees don't pay for tuition costs either. There's a correlation between how much the college (and its donors) give to a student and the quality of the college, for reasons that are obvious upon reflection: it aligns incentives.
If the school is paying for your attendance, their motive is for you to succeed at something (or else why would they bother schooling you)? If the school is profiting from your enrollment, their motivation is for you to enroll, not suceed.
You're right, apparently you can file a lawsuit within a bankruptcy proceeding to show that the student loan imposes an unreasonable burden. Not as easy as other debt of course.
My point was it is very foolish and provides no democratic mandate to vote on such vast changes with a simple majority. Whatever the outcome, it was an extremely bad idea in what is supposed to be a representative democracy. So I think you're agreeing with me there.

At least in German we get the first hand count within hours. If that result is close and a recount is done, we will usually get that within a day. The final result may be weeks away, but that is because legal proceedings and additional scrutiny in a hand full of the 70000 voting locations take some time. Doing the vote with a sufficient number of locations and polling clerks is not cheap, about one euro per voter, but worth it to us.
Don't underestimate the contribution of the "energy to grow the cow". Dairy cows don't start producing until they're 2 years old and are typically only kept around until age 5 or 6. That's a full third (or more) of their lives with no output whatsoever.
> I run an independent publication, Better Humans, that is a little smaller than Hacker Noon. Our experience has been the exact opposite, which is that Medium came to us and dumped a pile of money on us to ramp up what we were doing.

I was under the impression that there were two types of pubs on Medium: One like HackerNoon which only aggregates/reposts content, and another which was subsidized by Medium to produce original, quality content. (the lack of success of the latter causing a business model pivot, which also breaks the former)

While these were some of the claims made in favour of Brexit, there were also many wild claims regarding how much money the NHS would get now that the UK didn't need to send money to the EU and similar lies regarding trade deals and how everything would be better once Johnny Foreigner was kicked out. Now people are discovering unpleasant truths like how much of the NHS depended on foreign nurses and doctors and the amount of EU money that was propping up these small Leave-voting villages.

If you want a good laugh you should take a look at some of the claims made by Johnson, Farage, and Gove during the campaign.
As Silhouette covered, those extended updates are paid. And most people who can pay for those also could pay for Windows 10 Enterprise, which has effectively zero downsides. Extended Windows 7 updates are intended for the niche case of supporting a machine that can't be upgraded to Windows 10 in a business environment.

That being said, the recent Chrome zero-day vulnerability only affected Windows 7, and 99% of all PCs infected with WannaCry ran Windows 7 as well. The additional security mitigations of Windows 10 make it significantly more secure than a fully patched Windows 7 installation.

In terms of "political suicide": It's complicated.

There are lots of MPs who would want nothing more than to scrap Brexit or at least hold a second referendum. However, the situation is similar to what's happening with Trump and the Republican Party in the US: Politicians vote on party lines against their personal beliefs (or the desires of their constituents) simply so the party can hold on to power.

May and the Tories can't backpedal on Brexit because it would, at this point, be political suicide. It would significantly weaken the Conservative Party (the Tories) politically, and pave the way for a Labour government. May and her colleagues would prefer Brexit to losing their power. Of course, May says she sees it as her duty to fulfill the "will of the people" despite the fact that, according to insiders, she doesn't actually believe in Brexit.

What's remarkable is that the Conservative leadership has never been able swing the rhetoric around in their favour. A more cunning politican should have been able to turn David Cameron (who was responsible for setting Brexit in motion in the first place) into a scapegoat as well as point the finger at the Brexit faction for poisoning the well. There's a whole group of politicians, including Boris Johnson, that are now hated by the general public following the revelations about the Leave campaign.

What's also remarkable is how badly Labour has miscalculated the opportunity to gain a huge political momentum by becoming the anti-Brexit party. But its leader, Jeremy Corbyn, is an EU skeptic, and hasn't stepped up.

I find web-based workflows to be high in friction. Not because it's hard to start up a browser, but because nearly all web-based solutions that I've used are clunkier, slower, and more in-my-way than what they're intended to replace.

What do you think full time means?

The people who seem to be high performers are the ones who quit almost everything else.

So your answer is a simple, "quit".

Quit all the things, quit family, quit friends, quit tv, quit YouTube, quit Reddit, quit HN, quit your side gigs, quit your job.

Find the one thing you want to focus on and go for it.

Obviously don't quit all family and friends. Don't quit sleep. But do quit family and friends that bring you down.

There is a difference.

How are you interpreting this experiment with DeBroglie-Bohm? This is bumping up into the area where the theory gets into trouble, as photons aren't described by the Schrodinger equation or Dirac equation, and don't have wave functions at all. However in interferometry you might talk about the wave function of a photon if it is not emitted or absorbed.

Re: Locality. The issue is not nearly as simple as you are making it out to be. You are not allowed to naively dispense with locality because locality, described quantitatively by Lorentz invariance, is one of the most well tested physical principles in the history of science. You don't get to ignore observations to conform to your philosophical biases regarding interpretations of your theories.

The principles of special relativity and quantum mechanics are combined in quantum field theory, which is the most accurate and well tested description of the world we currently have. Non-relativistic Quantum Mechanics (where debroglie bohm is nice and simple) is a (0+1) dimensional quantum field theory, whereas our universe is described by (3+1) dimensional quantum field theories like quantum electrodynamics or the standard model. To dispense with locality in a non-naive way requires extending the theory to this more complicated setting, which is an unsolved problem, and an active are of research. According to the wikipedia page, even developing a complete theory of the photon is an active area of research! Whereas developing QED the first time around only took a handful of people 15 years...and they didn't know what the answer was going to turn out to be! I think we can conclude from this that the theory is no longer so simple and easy to grasp.

I watched a documentary about Drug dealers and smugglers operating in Baltimore.

It was coined by Fred Brooks in his paper "No Silver Bullet – Essence and Accident in Software Engineering" https://faculty.salisbury.edu/~xswang/Research/Papers/SERela...

You asked the difference between a marketplace and a retail store. Being a marketplace alone does not incur regulation. Being a dominant marketplace which takes anti-competitive stances is problematic, and taking action against anti-competitive moves by the most dominant marketplace in the US is what's being debated here.

I'm not certain why we seem to be debating the merits of Walmart versus Amazon. I would be willing to venture that Warren supports regulations and potential antitrust action against Walmart, too. Just because she's proposed antitrust action on one type of organization doesn't mean she won't also support another - indeed, she wants the same of many organizations on Wall Street, and previously sponsored legislation to regulate Walmart to prevent poor labor practices [0].

Yeah basically. Either the ux or anything else that would offer brand X value from a technical standpoint.
Edit: to clairify, I wasn't criticizing your post so much as criticizing the original assertion and answering (one possible reason) why people would object to it.

> It's not a "false" implication as there is no true and objective measure of "reasonable".

That's a reasonable [heh] position (though obviously not one I agree with), but that just changes the original assertion from false (there's a objective measure and it contradicts this) to meaningless and misleading (there's no objective measure by away from which their perspective can be said to be warped).

> Cows aren't "for" meat or dairy any more than Africans were "for" enslavement.

Africans, like most humans, are[0] (physical substrates containing) people; they're for doing whatever it is the person in question wants. Cows aren't[0]; they don't have any inside influence to bestow purpose upon them.

0: In both cases qualified by "assuming there isn't a nigh-Cartesian coincidence or conspirancy to falsify evidence of sapience or lack thereof", which admittedly isn't a possibility I've put much effort into falsifying.

It's a perception thing. As the "Loudness War" shows, music sounds "better" when it's louder; it's something about how humans perceive sound. Of course, this is problematic because for long-term exposure, it doesn't have to be all that loud to cause permanent hearing loss. It's largely cumulative, sort of like radiation exposure.
> Apple recently rebranded OSX to macOS, possibly to have a version number higher than 10 some day.

that may be, I figured it had more to be in line with tvOS, watchOS, and iOS. having somethingOS for everything except for one being OSsomething just seemed oddball enough for them to want to bring it in line.

In theory you could have 10.1234567890 for a release and retain OSX if that was the concern. I think everyone would hate them for it, but I don't think there's anything preventing it.
