US forced insurance seems like part of the problem. From the article, the response to "when did drug prices ratchet ups" was "when prescription drug coverage became part of Medicare"

This singular problem point was completely ignored by the rest of the article and in the proposed solutions.

It seems like no matter what drug companies charge, our government MUST pay it. And citizens not covered by the government MUST buy health insurance. The ACA says it is illegal for you not to buy coverage; if you don't there is a fine. If you to not pay this fine (individual responsibility tax), you go to jail.

The case of Nelene Fox shows that HMOs MUST pay for anything, even unreasonable procedures for terminally ill patients.

How can the market function when you MUST PAY?
I think you’re right with respect to catalogue size, but original/exclusive content helps them grow their business, but they started out way different while being successful at essentially distribution and ease of use.
Anecdote: Take it with a grain of salt as a mid 20's male in the dating scene

Maybe it's me, but I get the feeling that even if I improve myself (start hobbies, go to the gym more, etc) That will not be enough to secure a serious relationship because its so much easier for partners to 'upgrade' and find someoene else. There are fewer incentives to stick it out and build on a relationship, not unlike how the norm for getting a raise is to change jobs (instead of company loyalty)
Maybe “despite” was a typo for “as a direct result of,” in the article? Or maybe it’s just the usual Bloomberg nonsense. The whole interview reads like apologia. Oh it’s the legal teams of the pharmaceutical industry, rather than their lobbying efforts having fully purchased the loyalty of a majority of members from both parties. Get it? Congress is the victim here, not a goddamned co-conspirator.
...whereas I use 3D Touch all the time to interact with notifications and icons. It's an important part of my "workflow" because I can do certain things ("yes I just took that medication") rapidly and barely interrupting what I was actually in the middle of doing, which is living my life.

I agree discovery of 3D interactions is terrible -- essentially nonexistent -- which does justify the epithet "useless" to some degree.

Your notice period is about pay, not about having a desk or any work to do.

Because the access to information goes both ways - however useful it may be for you to spend a few weeks telling employees remaining what you know, the company doesn't necessarily want you learning new things.
Indian generics are manufactured under licensing deals with the patent holders. The operation is still profitable for the patent holders because of volumes although the Indian compulsory license act allows this negotiation to happen in the first place.

Indian companies can’t just manufacture patented drugs without a license. There is a judicial process to follow beginning with negotiations with the original patent holder. Only if the patent holder refuses to grant a license and the local manufacturer aspirant can prove there will be a public health crisis without the drug will the courts grant permission to bypass the patent.

Thank you. I can see how the tags are misleading so let me clarify: we welcome and encourage foreign nationals to apply - and we happily assist with visa acquisition - but per contract with our customers we do not hire people who will physically reside outside of the US.
Generally two possibilities for managing a large load - either a third party blogging provider that can deal with it, or a static site.

Why anyone hosts small blogs on self-hosted VPNs is beyond me - all sorts of problems including security maintenance and peaky load. You can go one further with caching, but that’s yet another moving part that’s not necessary for a simple site.

Brent crude, from the UK North Sea fields, is much lighter than Iraqi or Saudi crude. I'm guessing Norwegian crude is similar. Light crude is too "good" for fuel use; I believe it's used for plastics.
Asia wishes to disagree with you.

Yes, that was parent's "some may argue..." part. That doesn't mean Asia are right. Some in that same part of the world would argue that running a fan can kill me, so something something urban legends.
It may seem weird, but it is standard operating procedure at many, if not most shops with computer networks.

The tradeoff looks like this: the knowledge potentially preserved & transferred in 2-4 weeks of continued access for everyone is worth far less than the same access used by a disgruntled now-ex-employee to steal IP or do damage.

Even minutes of access to the wrong person is a significant risk.

Plus, if there is a really important or tangled question that only you'll know, they can hire you as a consultant later to sort it out, if needed.

So, wherever you work, be sure to plan and structure your information as if your access can be cut off by surprise at any minute.

Expect only zero notice, and to be marched to the door by security, with somebody else packing your personal stuff into a box and delivering it later. If you get more, consider it a bonus.

Remember, none of this is personal, any more than being required to walk through metal detectors at so many places is personal. It is all about risk management.
One feature that's either missing or I just couldn't find was screen sharing. It's my understanding that screen sharing can be done with WebRTC on modern browsers (except Safari?) Other than that, this looks really fantastic.

This seems to be a non-AI system monitored by humans or simple algorithms - nevertheless the irony of the promise of AI and hi-tech revolutionizing the workplace just resulting in more oppression of low-wage workers is glaring.
Ketamine has long been prescribed off label for depression, so I'm not clear on how this is freeing people freedom from the stigma.

The "so what" is that the current system prevents people from getting affordable access to drugs.

This may not matter to you, and that is certainly well within your rights, but many people do seem to care about ensuring other humans aren't priced out of medicines that may help.
I lost 3 of them until my current ones have "lasted" a year. If I move the cord at certain angles, the phones voice control switches on, podcasts skip, pause, or run at 3x speed.

I don't mind the cord, I don't see why $200 shitty earpods that I have to charge every 5 hours and battery runs out after 1.5 years is better.
[random internet remarks]

20% equity != 20% control

Taking the offer means accepting that the business people don't rate you as someone worth sharing business control. That may or may not mean that you are someone worth sharing business control...i.e. their assessment may be inaccurate. It may be an intolerable blow to your ego. But that's the world described in your question (there might be more to it, but that's all I've got).

If the offer comes with a market rate salary, it smells like an above average deal and probably reflects a board that doesn't want you distracted. It also reflects a board that has adequately capitalized the company for operations (and that's the metric of the "business person" in a company). A market rate salary is plausible compensation for the risk inherent in not having business control. If the salary is below market rate, it smells closer to the "two business 'guys' hire a programmer" end of the developer-as-entrepreneur risk spectrum.

There's nothing amiss. It boils down to whether or not you trust the two partners, your objectives, your current career and economic position, and your assessment of the risk. Good luck.

People love to bitch about HL7, but it gets far too much vitriol compared to X12. You want to talk about an antiquated format that should be taken out back and shot, here is your target.

The annoying part is the QACH CORE Connectivity Rule has finally made interacting with health care partners for X12 transactions suck less by providing standard REST and SOAP interfaces for transaction exchange, but we couldn’t be bothered to implement a less shitty transaction format.

HL7 is a work of art in comparison.
Because that’s pretty much the definition of nation-state: control over a territory and what happens inside it. If you meant to ask why they should belong to the nation states, well, if they belonged to “humanity” someone would still be calling the shots, and there’s no guarantee it would be the Norwegians.
The home button on my 5S failed (followed by the screen). So it’s not nothing. It may be an exaggerated fear but it’s clearly based on some failures, otherwise they wouldn’t use the phone at all, in case the screen “breaks”
The fact that HN's (or most people's, really) main interaction with Pinterest is Google Images spam should be concerning.

They are basically pissing off a huge chunk of people (anyone who searches for images on Google) for their own benefit.

This shouldn't be considered acceptable. I am not sure why anyone is defending that nasty company. You usually wouldn't defend someone in the physical world who does something similar (simple example: littering), why should it be considered OK just because it's on the Internet?
The bigger issue with public wifi is even actually finding your bank's server in the first place. HSTS largely saves the day here, but is far from universal. If any non TLS requests are in the request chain, and you don't have an eagle eye on the address bar, all bets are off.

What's even more amazing is that ~2% of Canada's GDP is oil, yet if you were listen to the braying of the oil companies, and their bought-and-paid-for stable of politicians, they make it sound like that number is ~25%.

> America's lucrative drug market funds research

That's a nice and heartwarming story. But I don't believe it for a second. When those companies want to fund research, they raise money from third parties. Or get it from the government in the form of grants.

No, all that money goes to someone's pocket, and mostly stays there.
According to this comment, it seems it is noticeable, though: "The speedup can be significant. On my stock A1200 Ultima 6 was annoyingly slow in PAL mode but much more playable in NTSC mode."

Yes, FOSS in GNU/Linux distros are still written mostly C/C++. And I don't think C/C++ is going anywhere soon. What I'm saying is, Go and Rust are very new, but gaining traction fast for new projects, despite their low penetration as of 2019. I can't say the same thing for any implementation of C#.

The concerns outlined here are still valid for the FOSS community today: https://www.fsf.org/news/dont-depend-on-mono https://www.fsf.org/news/2009-07-mscp-mono And these are serious concerns given the context of Microsoft's hostile campaigns against FOSS, and EEE tactics against all competitors. What Oracle did with Java after acquiring Sun (Oracle vs Google) only justified and strengthened these concerns.

The way I look at it, it's a risk that is not worth taking, especially given the alternatives today.
I'm aware that comparison he's trying to draw, but the comparison has to be fair. First, most obviously, Australia has almost 5 times the population of Norway! Second, if we're going to start increasing the scope of exports we're including, to make a fair comparison we should include minerals in Norway's total (not just Australia's), and we should really include other resources that Norway has that Australia doesn't (rather than just picking a category where Australia has larger exports). What are the numbers in this case?

Again, I think this works out to a per capita endowment of that is still much, much larger for Norway, but you'd actually have to do a bit of work to check.

yeah, that's been written about before. It's a false belief based on info that's not applicable to current devices. It is just baseless superstition at this point. Unfortunately, everyone believes it and makes their lives far worse with that stupid assistive touch thing when they don't need to.
I guess the difference between the screen and the button is that the screen is mandatory for using the phone, while the button is optional.

Also I'm sure those people wouldn't actually use the phone at all if they had an equivalent way to achieve the same tasks that doesn't involve risking breaking a phone.

Finally let's put it that way - if you use AssistiveTouch right away you lose the home button. If it breaks after X months/years of use you also lose the home button. Wouldn't it still be better to get value out of the button while it's still working rather than falling back to AT right away?
Yes ! This morning I was not finding exactly what I was looking for in ddg and felt back to Google and result were quite noticibly worst.

> You're right, this will go nowhere because you're trying to have a semantics argument while also being wrong about the semantics you're trying to correct.

Yikes. Okay. You goaded me into replying.

About lies and opinions: If you said something factually incorrect that you nevertheless believed to be true at the time, you were not lying.

That is why it can't be a lie when you say something that you honestly believe (i.e. your opinion).

Now it might be that "Lie" means something different in your culture, but in the English language it means "[..] an assertion that is believed to be false, typically used with the purpose of deceiving someone". (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lie).

Here's a good article on the matter: https://philosophynow.org/issues/27/The_Truth_about_Lying

Now whether I lied when I said I would not reply is for you to figure out.

Twenty Minutes of Nature Lowers Stress Hormones
This actually happened to me when I was younger. Nothing specific to trigger it, it just suddenly started out of the blue. My flight history sounds similar to yours - something I'd been doing very regularly my entire life.

I remember the specific flight where I got over my fear - a 10 hour flight to India on an Airbus A330 (I live in the UK). It must have been about halfway through when I was just so exhausted from being terrified that it just stopped. I had a couple of internal flights on very dubious planes immediately after this and they didn't bother me at all. Perhaps it's what psychologists call "flooding".

I'm now back to flying all over the world again and I really look forward to it. The worst part for me now is the hassle of security and delays and the like.

Anyway, I just wanted to give you some hope that there is indeed an end to all this. As others have suggested, in my case I think it was just a general anxiety issue manifesting itself in this way rather than a specific phobia of flying itself.
I did not call Agile a methodology. I referred to "Agile methodologies", as in "methodologies that are intended to adhere to Agile principles".
Another of my favorite examples of the "reproduction doesn't do any justice" is Mark Rothko. Like Pollock, he's often held up as example of an artist whose work "doesn't look like anything" and "my kid could do that." And it's true, if you're looking at a poster of a Rothko, it just looks like some large splotches of color.

But, in a gallery, people encounter the Rothko and just stop. Many of them will stare at those large splotches of color for 1, 2, 5, even 10 minutes. Turns out there's a whole lot going on there that just doesn't translate into print.

Sadly, a lot of the techniques that abstract expressionists used don't translate well into the future, either. Layering just oil paint, that's pretty durable. Layering different kinds of paint, not so much. I've seen a fly dislodge a flake of paint from one of Rothko's paintings just by landing on it.
I would consider a change from ingestion via IV to insufflation is a pretty major development and all around improvement on the existing drug and.method of administration. If someone managed to create an ingestable pill or nasal spray for insulin they'd win a Nobel prize. While the scale and importance of that discovery is greater, the fact that such a switch in delivery method is that significant leads me to believe this controversy surrounding a nasal spray is more outrage porn than actual reality.

> Also, though, what counts as "big" has changed for me. What I can hack together in an afternoon now might have taken me a week ten or fifteen years ago. So I can explore alternatives with less risk, in a way.

Could you elaborate on that? Maybe with an example of something that would fall into this "hack together in an afternoon" category?

I am still a beginner with less than 5 years of professional experience, but usually there seem to be rather large overhead to putting together new projects/services and getting everything up an running.

Some stats from my front-page a month ago:

- Time on front page: 15 min
- Views in first 15 min: ~5000
- Views in first 60 min: ~7000
- Views in first 600 min: ~11,000
- Views over the next 5 days: ~5000

HN front pages bring a bunch of users quickly, but it isn't a scale that will cripple moderate hardware with some basic performance tuning (directly serving assets, for example). The tail is also great, fully 3/4 of my post-front-page views come from click-throughs on social.

Or that the total number of people who care for the impoverished is a greater number than the number of people who live on the block?

Seems both are true.
Ketamine delivered by IV can continue to be prescribed for depression (and if it can't, that's an FDA issue, not a patent issue). What exactly is your problem with the situation?
The continent is still mostly cash based. Trust is low for online purchases. Do not worry about content. It's being created on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube for free - they monetize via ads and sponsorship deals.

There's just one success story for Nigeria iroko.ng - this however targets foreign based Africans who are used to paying online and for whom - per movie is nothing.

According to what I hear, Iroko is highly selective and only allows quality movies on its site. Because of this, some producers upped their quality level and sold exclusively via the site. They recently branched into original content - 2 years ago.
I'm not the OP, but you can reduce this down to this analogy:

Crocodile Leather Texture Overlays
I think the only way corporations can reliably act morally is if that is in their best interests. PR, in other words, has to have monetary value, whether it be the appearance of morality to the customers, or an internal increase in their ability to hire and keep good workers. If customers and workers judge a company on its ethics and take their talent and business elsewhere, that will drive the market.

Edit: I think this is also an argument for unions. If a group of workers all agree to hold firm on an ethical standard and block the talent pool, that has power. Without this layer of organizing power, there will always be someone willing to subvert the ethical standards for a quick buck.
