It would be a huge invasion of privacy for an insurance company to do this - and not only privacy, but the fact that insurance companies can discriminate based on this data means that the healthy don't end up subsidising the unhealthy (which is the whole point of insurance). SO premiums go up regardless, and only the insurance company win in this scenario.

Right now, the right choice is to combat this problem before it becomes a real problem. Before it sets root as cultrually acceptable to hand over your biometrics data to private companies without the right payment and compensation.
Surely anything that is not simply ignoring a post is an engagement as far as the algorithm is concerned. Which would include likes and angry etc. Perhaps they get weighted less than a reshare or comment, but I'm sure they're in there.

You reacted, however trivially, so you'll now get more of it. You'll get more of it even if you reshare with a comment along the lines of "this is complete rubbish".

So the more outrageous rises to the top.

That's a good point. I read the comment such as that every transfer over TCP would be twice as slow, which would be pretty absurd, but the poster probably meant high load/bandwidth situations. It would not surprise me at all if OpenBSD fared way worse, there.
That's how dict.update works in python also. The other poster is saying that they don't like the + operator having the property of using the values from the right operand to update the left operand vs the clear semantics of the method call.
I didn't know we were talking legality. The point raised above was "So what if they undercut Spotify, maybe Spotify should take 30% less profit when they sell using Apple channels?" I was trying to point out that it is economically unlikely Spotify has a 30%+ profit margin.

Legal problem may exist in different areas. Ianal, but I wonder about Spotify's claims, refuted by Apple, about locking them out of watch and app store rejections. I am also interested in the practice not only requiring payemt though Apple, but banning any mention of other ways to purchase the same product.

Under-rated opinion - if you're not feeling ill, there's probably no reason to perform any medical diagnostics. If you're wearing a medical diagnostic bracelet, and it tells you that you have some issue, you might end up getting more anxcious and stressed (which can cause real harm), despite the fact that there's nothing "wrong" really.
People who are genuinely serious about blocking JavaScript (like me, and I’m sure many others in the HN crowd) are happy to install NoScript, especially since it gives you much more fine-grained control than simply on/off. I agree that hiding it behind an about:config switch is perfectly fine, considering that there is rarely a legitimate reason to use the setting.
I find it strange how many people have this puritanical mindset that just because something is pleasurable or can induce some degree of physical dependency this automatically equates to something with negative health consequences or something that they should feel guilty about imbibing.

Coffee is one of the, or the best, source of antioxidants in the standard American diet. Barring pre-existing Cardiac health issues there is no harm to daily use as long as you don't exceed maximum recommended caffeine doses, which was around six shots of espresso or equivalent.

Furthermore "In some publications, caffeine and trigonelline are considered to be antioxidants also." There is much more medical evidence that coffee is uniquely beneficial than otherwise.

It always was. Newspapers were sold off the newstands via the headline. That's why headlines were large - so passersby could see them. That's why newsboys would yell out the headlines.
Additionally, (pardon me if I misunderstood) the Pale Moon developers consider it “normal free software development practices” to bundle libraries with an application and use them instead of the system ones? This seems to be the opposite of how most software libraries and prevents browser libraries from being updated as usual through the package manager.
There's no need to insult my intelligence.

Well, I would say if you are given a choice of a procedure like the one described in the article or open heart surgery, choose the less invasive one. Although in my experience, they don't really consult with you about what you'd prefer so much as tell you what they are going to do.
I'm not in tech, but from what I read on here Anyone who can actually build something that works is a rarity.

I ended up paying $8k out of pocket after my pretty good insurance paid out. I'm still astonished at the overall cost, though.
Ahh good point, yes I mean WSL, not the extra tools that come with Git on Windows.
One-off comment, but the new band has really improved HR detection for me. I went from the rubber strap (with holes every centimeter or so) to the adjustable velcro strap and it's night & day. It went from being 100% useless on runs to _actually_ keeping accurate detection the entire run.
There are rack designs out there built on this idea, but they are usually pretty specialized. For example, the Cray XC series has racks with built in power, network, and out of band monitoring.

A downside of this kind of thing is that it makes upgrades and maintenance harder, and you often have to do any hardware work on a whole rack at once. Heterogeneous setups get really hard. And it’s usually very vendor specific.
I wish there was a heartbeat-measuring watch with the battery life of a dumb watch. My watch goes like 5 years (I've lost count honestly) on its original battery. I'd love to have something watching out for my health but I just can't see myself moving to a smartwatch that needs recharging every 18 hours when I don't even need the smartness crap...
> The modern Web requires Javascript.

I disagree.

There is nothing about the "modern" web which necessitates the use of JavaScript. I can understand the argument that, due to JavaScript's ubiquity, interfacing with some websites may prove impossible. But even then, that shortcoming isn't anything to do with the "modern" web; developers simply chose not to engineer a system capable of gracefully degrading.

You can install any Linux distro e.g. Centos with grub, copy OpenBSD install image to /boot and start it with grub. From now on you can just install it reformatting disk.

Any software switches can be subverted by malware. But not physical ones. Physical switches and a light (like video cameras used to have when recording) are simple, cheap, and effective. I don't understand why companies don't add them to allay their customers' fears.
s/weren't super polite/were obnoxious, entitled and demanding about it/

That thread burnt most of my goodwill toward Palemoon which wouldn't have happened if they'd at least approached them civilly in the first place. Even if it had escalated from there.
I used to use Pale Moon because Pentadactyl still worked on it. But then it broke even in Pentadactyl, and I moved back to Firefox with Trydactyl (which is nowhere near as good as Pentadactyl, but it's better than nothing).

I've also tried qutebrowser, which is nice, but it's missing uMatrix/NoScript, RequestPolicy, and uBlock Origin-like extensions. So I'm stuck with Firefox for now.
It's worth noting that since the collateralized housing debt scandal of the Global Financial Crisis, approximately nothing changed in regulation, and credit card and auto debt securitization has taken off in its place. Investors still want to put their money somewhere.

Who is the Lehman Brothers of the new securitized debt? That meltdown is coming.
Elixir's string module documentation isn't half bad, but there is more practical Unicode thinking and less mathematical thinking (which makes sense, given their domains).

This is purely a trademark dispute. They want you to rename the browser if you deviate from their franken-patchset of firefox + all the other weird old libraries they use. Such a thing would obviously not fly in a security focussed OS like openbsd (or any OS for that matter). So you can rename the browser if an agreement is not reached, which is fine. The issue, however, is that these guys are so protective of their name (really, who even has heard of it?), that they thwarted a WIP attempt by someone to port this mess before the ported product even saw the light of the day.
JavaScript deals with this well. The equivalent of the proposed

d3 = d1 + d2

is

let d3 = {...d1, ...d2};

In fact, it seems like you can already do this in python:

d3 = {**d1, **d2}

This seems to have most of the benefits of being a dedicated syntax (rather than just a function call), without the downsides of breaking the commutativity of the + operator.
> I've just read the thread and I agree with the Pale Moon devs.

Well there were 2 "issues" in that case. Being right about one certainly doesn't justify the other. One was the "technical" one of the conditions of redistribution. The other one was that one guy decided to start off the discussion as a grade A a-hole, rude, arrogant, dismissive, confrontational, and probably a few more. Discussions can degenerate but how often is it productive to start one with such a hostile attitude, especially in public?

Right as he may have been I wouldn't touch such a toxic person with a 10-foot pole. Such an attitude sabotages any amount of skill until the net contribution is actually lower than that of a less skilled person you want to work with. Case in point, so many devs actively stay away from the project (or more likely the person).

Easier for the machine means easier for people to write tooling for the language. Imagine if you could ast.parse() C++ code the same way you could for Python code.
Give me a break. First address the atrosious food consumption habits within the 94% of US population who do not live in so called food deserts before it can be used to justify the behavior of the vast majority.
I had not and your comment was not helpful in explaining the term either.

According to Wikipedia (if anyone cares..): "A food desert is an area, especially one with low-income residents, that has limited access to affordable and nutritious food. In contrast, an area with supermarkets or vegetable shops is a food oasis. The designation considers the type and quality of food available to the population, in addition to the number, nature, and size of food stores that are accessible. Food deserts are characterized by a lack of supermarkets which decreases residents' access to fruits, vegetables and other whole foods."
It wouldn't be worth dealing with these people even if they were developing a good technology, but XUL???
Namedrops golang again.. seeing a pattern here.

The claim that primitive types are better than interfaces (inside modules) reveals that he is comfortable with golang style. But this point misses that you can do _more_ things when you know the full concrete type of something, than when you program generically, only depending on the minimal requirements of what you need, which in turn opens up flexibility for the caller (constraints liberate).

Of course, one doesn't think too hard about this in golang, lacking generics
Exactly. If the 'recycling' is actually a one way door to dump all trash on China and forget about it, it is not really 'recycling'.

It is right about time that Western countries to come to realization that recycling need more smarts and efforts other than making it other people's problem.
My cardiologist has looked at it when I'm hooked up to a full 12-lead EKG and has noted how pretty solid the measurements seem to be. If it's on a slightly looser setting, sometimes it initially catches only half the tempo for a second, but then locks in. This is on an Apple Watch 4.
My favorite statement from apparently one of the Palemoon devs:

> Hopefully, in the future everyone can learn from this incident

Yeah, I know I sure learned something. I learned that Palemoon and its development team are hostile as hell.
That seems like a good strategy but maybe we should also work towards a mindset of enjoying the process of working on hard problems even if apparently fruitlessly. Whenever I feel I’m spinning my wheels I remind myself thats how I learned what I know and my best breakthroughs usually come when I think its a dead end.

It's not optimal when the poor and disadvantaged are forced to sort through the trash of others to eke out a bit of a living -- without any sort of protective gear or easy access to healthcare to treat any injuries/illnesses.

It'd be a little safer if they could just pick through recycling bins, but that's illegal [1] so they are forced to pick through trash bins.

You can easily parse c# or f# that are probably more complex than C++, so maybe it’s not so impossible?
It’s not clear to me what the point of this comment is.

Do you mean to imply that when walking the southern coast of Tasmania I don’t see the area densely littered with plastics?

Or perhaps you meant to imply that the oceans aren’t littered with plastic such that cetaceans are dying from eating too much of it?

These don’t sound like arguments anyone would intentionally make.

Are you certain recycling has nothing to do with plastic pollution? And are you certain that recycled or buried, as a binary choice, are the only two possible outcomes for plastics?
I found out a few years back I've been living with ebstein's. I was surprised at the time to learn just how limited we are when it comes to heart surgery... It all seems to last 10-15 years and that about it. I'm glad to hear things are progressing for younger patients, but there's so much more work to be done.
Have you ever been to Australia where iron ore is less than 1 meter below ground?
In my experience, FitBit Charge HR 2 was useless. Same issue with you where it would 40 bpm off or provide no reading at all.

Apple Watch 3 was pretty bad too. It would give inaccurate often enough that I couldn't use it for training in a heart rate zone. For example, I'd be walking for warm up and it would give a reading of 160 at the beginning, then back down to 110, then 10 mins later back to 160. I can't imagine the Apple Watch being a medical device with lives depending on it.

Garmin 935 has been great. It has the most accurate HR and GPS readings.
Being correct definitely didn't justify the crappy attitude. The end result is most devs stay away from the person and the project.
Nice try GPT-2 :)
What does types being on the right have anything to do with parsing types representing lists of lists?
Dental might or might not make sense. Depends on how many surgeries you need usually. Implants here in the us costs ~5-6k. Implants where i came from is around 700$, but thing with implants is it needs a lot of time during recovery. Like 3 months after bonegraft etc. You can also det double insurance for cheap-ish and get it covered like that in the us for about 1/6th the price.

For most non emergency surgeries (some heart surgeries are in that category, you can plan in advance), europe does make sense, especially insurance is not good.

At some point i thought that could be oretty good way to balance out cost here.
No they won't pry them away from you; it's a great attack vector. If Homestarrunner ever let's his domain lapse, it'll be a malware goldmine.
The astonishing thing to me is that, as mentioned elsewhere, this mess in the GitHub issue happened after the person doing the port politely asked the Pale Moon people about the right way to do things with regards to patches and branding: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?t=18256
People get eye surgeries and a pretty nice vacation for the same price in europe. Private you pay cash but it may even be cheaper than office visit there :)
I completely agree with your sentiment. Sadly given the state of privacy, healthcare, lobbying, etc in the US, it is something I am very worried about.
Your examples are a good argument for types on the right, in my opinion... for the same reason the person you are replying to pointed out.
I'd say your own analogy is a little off too. PCs are more of the commercial vehicles: semi trucks, tractors, and industrial equipment. They're mostly used by professionals doing work in some way (also in education and gaming). Mobile phones are the cars - for the average person, most of their interaction with technology is through their smartphone, and for most people, other computing devices aren't really necessary to do what they want to do. I think it's getting pretty common now for people to forgo desktops and laptops not because they can't afford them, but because they don't need them.
Our users routinely use our widget to place support requests. Adjustments to orders, changes to preferences, account issues, expectation queries.

It has the added convenience that we instantly and correctly know a) what URL they're looking at and b) their logged-in account ID. I'd say about 80% of the time, this is 100% of the context needed to resolve their issue, which eliminates a whole class of to-and-fro discovery that amounts to a large proportion - perhaps even the majority - of support time.
I doubt those are more complex to parse than C++, as C++ parsing is undecidable.

I go further: if I have a question and don’t find a live chat widget, I usually navigate away immediately. Sorry but I’m very busy and I have no patience for sending emails and waiting for a response.
I'm 'young' and getting my second open heart surgery soon. Headlines like this are slightly misleading in that you have to have a pathology that will support tavr. In my case, I have a dilation of the annulus that apparently makes it less likley that a tavr valve can find a basis to stay in place. It has to be sown in.
I agree in that I don’t understand what is important about this. But as someone interested in history knowing that stuff has been thrown out because of this same mindset hundreds of years ago is upsetting. People 2000 years from now might study the google+ years at university lol.
After my comment I gave it some thought and figured that's what you meant in the context of Duolingo, which is a great example of this. I've tried in vain to convince others they're wasting their time (it could be spent more efficiently) but they feel like they're "winning" something so it's futile.

Gamification is usually meant for creating addictive behaviors but I think some of it was in earnest effort. I can see how the idea of "Nobody ever wants to learn, let's try to make learning a game" makes sense from above, but it's hard to actually implement correctly. And at some point, some new manager with ideas about gamification for profit's sake inevitably joins the company.
Maybe he dug a steep sided hole with a backhoe and jumped in.

Just because someone is smart enough to dig a hole big enough to get trapped in, it doesn't mean that they were smart enough to allow for a way to get out.
Making up a debate? I walked into a debate. Why are you so fixated on making my motives out to be sinister?

What debate exactly do you think I'm making up? This entire discussion stems from a disagreement about what qualifies as a "hacker", which is all that I have addressed.
Let's draw a line in the sand -- it was, I feel, drawn in the sand by the blood of 49 innocents. And let's never again stand for people utter such things ever again without being called out. As someone who had a part in building and advocating for the Internet (I worked as a columnist in the nineties and a lead software architect for two social news websites 2006-2010) just to see it being turned into a breeding ground of hate, I need to do something and this is what I will do.

So, what do you even call an SJW movement?

$160K sounds cheap to me if you're in the US. I had a heart ablation a few years back for an irregular heart beat. Like the procedure in the article its minimally invasive where they go in through the groin to zap some electricity at a few cells in the heart. I was conscious throughout and was back at work the next day. They billed $400K for that, and insurance negotiated it down to around ~$120K. For something as complex as what you've mentioned I'd have expected 7 figures.

I assume there's a lot of things cheaper to recycle than to create new, but the problem is how to extract/separate it out of an overwhelming stream of unrelated materials, is it not?
