What is included in that fee is malpractice insurance premiums (because it isn't that nothing can go wrong in that 10 min interaction which causes you to sue the doctor) paid by the doctor.

On the top of that, he didn't charge you for what it was, but for what it wasn't and confirming it.

Take for instance if that muscle spasm actually lead to something darn serious, the doctor ruled that out, that's why he sent you back after 10 mins. For some weird reason (or counter-intuitive economic reasoning which everyone has got), if you had a serious problem, and the doctor had identified it in that 10 mins, then you'd be ok with that billing.

See it this way, if you're tech security contractor and the CEO calls you urgently to come take a look at suspicious behavior on his computer which he thinks might be a hacker hacking his computer, but it turns out to be a quite known windows bug, that doesn't mean you shouldn't charge him your regular fee if it was an actual hacking attempt. You're getting paid for being on call.

So looking at the graphs in the video it seems that 2016-2017 saw very significant jumps. Is there significant reason to think that wasn't a random phenomenon? AFAIK, contributers to climate change didn't also jump up (ie, we don't have 20% more emissions). If so, what's the thing that the science is suggesting is the cause?
Then you want the American propaganda.

We've got plenty of that on CNN and FOX.

No need to go all the way out to China to get your fix. And the Chinese will likely be serving up Chinese propaganda anyway. If you want American propaganda, why not just consume it here in America?
You misunderstood what I was suggesting. I'm not saying existing certificate authorities should sign apps, but that allowing a trusted authority to sign and distribute apps that a user could opt in to would be beneficial. Think yum/apt repo signing keys, and how if you add a third party repo you can require the public key signatures to match, except tied into the OS much closer. I used the CA analogy because vastly more people are familiar with that than the intricacies of open source package management for a few distros.
You can avoid software issues by proper configuration (I want to configure Linux not to automatically enable USB input devices). Of course hardware issues such as damaging the computer is different, but there may be another way to mitigate that. (For several reasons I also do not like the USB so much, though)
Ask HN: What's the best way to distribute a macOS app?

"making up some hitherto undetected kind of matter, distributed in just the right way to explain the discrepancies, is kinda odd"

That seems totally backwards to me. Matter, by definition, is what is distributed spatially in just the right way to explain our observations. Physical laws, by definition, are not; they are universal. So why keep trying to explain what appears to be matter with adjustments to physical laws?

It's like you kept seeing elephant footprints appear out of nowhere, but insisted that rather than believe in invisible elephants, the most parsimonious explanation is that they are a natural consequence of a corrected law of gravity. That is, to me, turning Occam's Razor inside out.
The play store and samsung store are able to install and update in the background without the user doing anything. The same is not true of any 3rd party app store you whitelist.

Explicit consent is required for every apk install or update. Which is a bummer if you want to compete with the baked in store apps that "just work" and keep things up to date.
This doesn't seem to be a major problem for the EU, which has unrestricted internal migration but social programs are administered by the individual member states.

The idea that the poor will mass migrate to California and the rich will mass migrate to South Dakota is pretty unrealistic. The poor can't afford to live in California even with social assistance, and the rich don't want to live in South Dakota no matter how low the taxes are.

Because money buys stuff taxpayers want. Middle class people want good schools and functioning transit and to know they're going to have a secure retirement. The premise of having the government do these things is that they can do them at least as well as the market. If they succeed they'll have no trouble attracting people to come there and pay taxes in exchange for receiving those services. If they fail and are then out-competed by other states that do better, whether by leaving things to the market or otherwise, isn't that a good thing? It requires the underperforming states to improve or lose population.
Modded servers actually have a lot of IAPs and they can be pretty bad. These are really popular with kids.

> but then paid another $10K every year a former prisoner didn't commit a new crime for 5-7 years after they got out.

Then you'd have a private corporation with agents with direct access to people with criminal backgrounds and connections with a direct financial incentive to ensure that an ex-prisoner was not identified as the perpetrator of any crimes in a certain period.

This might not work out exactly the way you hope.
Suppose it is just harmless to the computer, but it uses the USB port to power something else.

It could contain a microphone and a transmitter.

A more evil device, for assassination, could contain explosives or nerve gas. Plugging in the device is fatal.
It took China for once having an independent policy instead of "impartial" agencies pushing their agenda onto a defenseless world.

I agree, even wrote a quaint blog post on that long ago https://gondwanaland.com/mlog/2006/08/07/aolternative-histor... ... but partiallypro seemed to be claiming the close to the opposite, that open source caused centralization. I'd still love to read a justification for that claim!

That is why you should only do this if you are aware of the consequences.

There's a difference between "people are stupid so let's prevent them from doing stuff that might cause problems, even if sometimes it's useful" and "people are stupid so let's discourage them from doing stuff that might cause problems."

> Fortunately, Apple has to date and clearly intends to continue offering a way to disable this functionality for the "statistically irrelevant" subset of their users that have good reasons to.

For their OS, yes. But the trend of locking the desktop/notebook offerings down to be more like their phone offerings is clear. Maybe there's also drift from their phones/tablets to be more open like their offerings and I'm missing it, but if not, I'm pretty sure I can see where this will eventually end (if Apple gets their way).
For all the situations in which you feel like the US was not justified in its actions, have you considered all the ramifications of alternative actions? And what about all the situations where its actions were justified but would not have been possible had the US military not been funded as it has been historically?

How would the USSR have evolved without the US security presence in Europe since WWII?

How would China have evolved without the US deep-water navel presence in the Pacific? Without the US support for Taiwan?

How do you value the success of South Korea in the presence of US troops?

What would have happened in the Middle East if the the US hadn't supported Israel or pushed back on Saddam Hussein in Iraq?

I'm not trying to justify any or all US actions, just trying to point out that any evaluation of the US military's impact over the last 100 years is going to be more complex than suggested by your comment.
If you've got the necessary talent and skill, and you've done your homework, then you're better off with DIY.

But few have the talent.

And that skill usually comes from making mistakes and screwing stuff up on a previous job.

And very few people are willing and able to do the homework.
In the Swiss system (as I understand it) it's about $600 to attend classes, but if you don't hit the minimum on the semester exams twice, then you're done in the country.

If you miss it the first round then there is a massive incentive to transfer or find an easier program, otherwise you face the prospect of being forced to go abroad to complete a degree.

Can't even find out what stuff costs beforehand either. I had to get a blood test. I had gotten burned before where my insurance said they covered a physical, but it turns out their definition of a physical didn't include the doctor's definition, which included blood tests. So before I had my blood drawn, I asked them to tell me what the tests would cost if my insurance didn't cover it. "It depends on how it's coded," they said. So I asked them to check how it was coded and tell me what the "code" cost. They looked it up. It was coded wrong, apparently. They would have to talk to the doctor and couldn't, so I would need to make a return appointment, or I could just let them draw my blood. Still don't know what the coding was or was supposed to be, or really what that even means. I just needed to get life insurance and get back to work. I found out the price once I was billed for it.
This is Apple moving one step closer to completely shutting down execution of apps that haven't been signed - a virtual app store so to speak. Because there's no longer a GUI option to allow unsigned apps by default. It was removed from System Preferences some versions ago.

Apple knows and relies on the fact that a regular Mac user would be intimidated by requiring a terminal command: `sudo spctl --master-disable` to enable un-trusted apps!

EU, FTC, et. al. need to look into this monopolistic behavior, where Apple constantly cock blocks anything it hasn't blessed, the fee for the blessing - a cool $100/year, assuming they don't start arbitrarily rejecting the said blessing, as is the case with their iOS app store.
Those were probably the Dell Optiplex GX280's.

Horrible design, internally anyway. Caps near the power supply or CPU heatsink were prone to failure. At the beginning of my IT career I swapped many of these motherboards. Fortunately the power supply and motherboard were easy to remove and replace.

I think this was a Pentium 4 machine which also was notorious for running hot.
Because things like blogger and Google groups shouldn't require js to just view text. There is a large, large, enormously large body of work out there that doesn't need JavaScript to achieve its goal like showing text or images, but are more-or-leas broken without JavaScript. That's the tragedy. I don't expect a web app, such as Google maps or Google docs to work without js, but I should be able to read blogs and newsgroups.
> I pay around $400 in health insurance premiums (health, eye, and dental) for a whole family

I would love to pay $400 a month for health care for my entire family all inclusive in the US! Can you please state the name of your insurance company and your specific policy so I can get this too? My rate is over $20,000 a year right now so that would be a tremendous savings. Thank you so much!
My understanding is that if you’ve released Developer ID-signed software in the past, you won’t have to notarize just yet.

Uh, did you intend to misspell that, just to drive home the point? Or did you actually make a grammatical mistake, while calling out another poster's grammatical mistake, who was him- or her- self calling out yet a third person's grammatical mistakes?

To be frank, most companies trying to make money from open source software have (IMHO) very poor business plans. You need to understand where your value is. Non-foss organisations tend to think that their value is in the accumulated bits that is their software. The artificial scarcity that is their "intellectual property", their monopoly on copying the software, is what creates the value. If you relax your exclusive rights (as you do with FOSS), then this no longer holds value.

Some companies, having relaxed their exclusive rights decide that they will provide autonomous services on top of their software. This is basically SaaS. But again, if you relax your exclusive rights to the software, then anyone can offer the same services. If, because they are able to scale better than you can, they can offer it cheaper (and/or better) then you will not be able to compete.

These things are so obvious to me that I find it absolutely incredible that it is a surprise to anyone. And yet, I see companies building business plans on top of nothing.

If you want to make a business doing FOSS, then you need to understand where your value lies. It is not in the exclusivity of the software. It almost certainly is not in the SaaS because unless you have a really compelling story for executing your service, more established companies will eat your lunch. So what is your value?

Your value is that you wrote the software. You are the expert. You drive the direction of the project. You own a trademark that you don't share with your competitors (unless you are insane).

But what that means is that you can't just write some software and sit on your laurels as the money rolls in. You can't write some software and stick it up on some server somewhere and watch the money roll in. You actually have to do something to make more money. Everything in your organisation has to be oriented towards, "What's next?" What are you going to do that someone will pay for? Training? Services? Custom development? A promise for the next version? A tie in with hardware? It doesn't matter, but the key is that it has to be of the category: you do something to get paid. It can't be: I already did the thing and now I'm going to sell it.

And yes. I think it's a good thing.
Oh, they still "personalize" your search results.

I do a full clear on my web browser (cookies / offline storage / history, everything) and then open YouTube in a private browsing window and it asks me which of my two Gmail accounts I want to log in with. I'd guess it's just a combo of external IP and browser fingerprint, but it's creepy.
This is a problem of API async operations, either by nature or by implementation: for either reason the process at hand (payment whatever) relies on a webhook to continue.

Here's a list of some problems it can bring:

## Synchronous context:

- Network errors whose call can be retried. For whatever reason you know the message did not reach the remote API. Exponentially/randomly increase timeout between each call. Have multiple levels. Immediate retries vs retries delayed in a queue or stored for later inspection.

- Network calls that fail and that you hesitate to retry. Typically timeouts. Was the query received on the other end of the tunnel ? You don't know. Ensure idempotency via an idempotency key or via a query to check if the entity has actually been created/updated. Both solutions require support from the API.

This concerns both calls made by the client as well as those made by the API (to send notifications the the hooks).

All of the above applies in addition to the following:

## Asynchronous context:

### Response/Webhook race condition:

- Receiving the response as well as a 'created' event. You have to decide where to put what comes next after the API call in the process logic. Keep your code synchronous by placing the continuing code under the call. Or make it asynchronous by registering it to the event.

- Receiving another event after the response. For instance, you make an API call, receive a 'created' event (ignored) followed by a 'successful' event (oops) before even receiving the response. You have a state to update, but can't find the right record because you haven't received the id from the response (and decided to ignore the 'created' event for the point above).

### Event ordering (quite the same thing as above):

- Receiving events for the same entity in the wrong order. For instance: 'succeeded' before 'created'.

- Receiving event for different entities in the wrong order. 'avatar uploaded' before 'account created'.

### Event number

- None (add to that the absence of retries for notifications and you have a good part of maintenance cost of a system whose backend relies on web APIs).

- Multiple. A typical solution is to store the received event with its id or any other way to ensure it is unique.

> you can learn more about what people will do for love

Not from reading R+J, you won't, any more than you will learn about how utopias work by watching Star Trek.

If you want to learn about what people will actually do for love, read one of the many biographies of Henry VIII. (And there's always more to learn about him, if you're interested.)

Or you could read about Cleopatra & Antony.
I'm sure he could do that by navigating to a new page every time. But the tutorial is about styling one step at a time without getting distracted, and I think that is solid teaching.
I went out of state for university. But I do live in the ND/MN region and I can tell you I know an entire community of NDSU computer science students who graduated and now make over 6 figures. Sure they say it wasn't amazing, but it got the job done for really cheap. Also NDSU is only 7k per year in state before assistance. No idea where you are getting the 20k figure from.

You'd probably have access to a better education at U of M in Minneapolis. But it's going to be quite a bit more expensive and I'm not sure it would have that large effect on your career.
It wasn't worth the cost in Toronto, either, but you didn't care because it wasn't you who paid the cost.
That makes sense, guess I never really took time to think about it or inspect.

> By the time of the Ethiopian crash, 737 pilots everywhere knew all about MCAS and the procedure for disabling it. A preliminary report issued last week by Ethiopian Airlines indicates that after a few minutes of wrestling with the control yoke, the pilots on Flight 302 did invoke the checklist procedure, and moved the STAB TRIM switches to CUTOUT. The stabilizer then stopped responding to MCAS nose-down commands, but the pilots were unable to regain control of the airplane.

> It’s not entirely clear why they failed or what was going on in the cockpit in those last minutes. One factor may be that the cutout switch disables not only automatic pitch trim movements but also manual ones requested through the buttons on the control yoke. The switch cuts all power to the electric motor that moves the stabilizer. In this situation the only way to adjust the trim is to turn the hand crank wheels near the pilots’ knees.

Wow, so disabling MCAS also disables all stabilizer commands?
