To add to your point, why require such sophistication if it can be avoided? I mean, we could all send bitmaps back and forth to communicate. We could literally just take pictures of hand written notes. Encoded email seems much saner.
As someone with hypertension, it costs something like $10/mo to treat with generic drugs. I know because I had to buy lisinopril out of pocket when I was between jobs. Not a good example. A better example would be something like diabetes, but I don't know if insulin can be denied or not (or whether there are other means for the poor to obtain it), maybe someone can clarify.

The larger point is, the "crazy expensive", acute part is already "universal". We just need to mop up the remaining stuff, formalize the arrangement, and call it a day.

Adams also makes another point in that this can't happen without downward pricing pressure for drugs and services and there currently isn't much. If you have a fancy insurance plan it doesn't matter to you if something costs $1000 or $10K or $1M - you aren't the one paying. What he suggests is insurance companies should give you a kickback if you find a service for less than a predetermined threshold. You already see this happening in some cases.

I believe Trump will create that downward pressure for drugs (as he promised many times during his campaign), but services are going to be an issue for years to come, perhaps until automation takes over.
One time after I was hired I learned that one of the engineers didn't want to hire me because I didn't wear a tie to the interview. This was a few years ago.

Because this is the only positive aspect. In most continental countries family wealth doesn't go that far back not because of enlightened equality but because it was burned in a war or confiscated in a revolution.
This is very relevant in software these days

> Super Narrow Selection Criteria

e.g. "We need nodejs, mongo, grpc, golang, etc - decades of experience in software is not what we need. We need exactly those things - and we are going to give you an online code challenge to solve an irrelevant puzzle while a 27 year old sits there watching you." And then when you get the job its nothing more than spending hours upon hours updating a web front end, tweaking a database, and watching logs.

> Outright Age & Lifestyle Discrimination

I'm only 36 and I feel old sometimes. I apply for jobs where I have to talk to a panel. It looks like everyone on the panel is less than 30. You can feel the lack of experience exuding from their pores. Everything this panel says sounds like some misconceptions I had sever years ago when I was their age and only had experience working on small projects. Where are the older more experienced workers? I mean are people over 30 not applying for jobs?

> What Are Your Salary Requirements?

Someone tried to hire me for 85K after decades of experience for a very early stage startup. They were offering equity but equity doesn't mean anything if the company folds in 2 years. I need more than that.

> Stop wasting people's time and make experienced candidates a real offer.

When I was a new developer many moons ago, I worked with many old guys and gals who would always let me know how green I was (no matter how much I studied and tried to impress them). Now, if I was to look for a job, I would be working with very young guys and gals who think experience == 2 weeks of reading a book on Facebook's React framework. Hey times have changed.
Wow. Thanks for enabling me to learn something new.
I wonder, with the Right to Roam in Sweden, if that has its roots in the same tradition, given the large Norse influence in Scotland.
Also, the article doesn't mention a crucial part of the universal approximation theorem: It is about functions on compact subsets of R^n, so it doesn't say anything about functions that take the whole of R as input.
Are you saying that's awful or good?

English, and honestly can't tell the mood. (Sounds very roughly what I'd expect, for whatever that's worth.)
Truly heartbreaking. One of my favorite computer scientists of all time. Loved his perspective on all things programming. So much wit, and such a vibrant and wonderful guy. Joe, you will be missed.
As much as people dislike Schumidhuber for being bit of a curmudgeon, his contributions have been undermined in the Deep Learning community at large. He did not deserve to be shafted for the Turing award.

His contributions were as impressive as the other 3, and a lot of it was done in isolation away from the support of the NA AI/ML community.
Joe had to be the most engaging, famous developer I’ve ever heard of. Very sad day. He was so supportive of the Elixir community and a true blessing to the people who were able to learn from him.
How many people have the talent to become doctors, but decided against it because of the working conditions? Limit the working week to 40 hours (including during training), and you won't need such extreme wages.
Well, x.__len__() is the same as len(x). You’re just supposed to remember not to use it (makes you wonder why they chose len(x) instead of x.len())
I'm telling you it is. Look at the models in the repo here:

https://github.com/kubernetes-client/python/tree/master/kube...

or the docs here:
https://github.com/kubernetes-client/python/tree/master/kube...

These are python classes that serialize to dict which you can dump to yaml. In other words, you can define your kubernetes spec as python classes, with variables, inheritance, and all the other good things that come with a programming language.

Once you have your kubernetes spec, you can either deploy it with the endpoint helpers (https://github.com/kubernetes-client/python/tree/master/kube...)

Or you can serialize to yaml if what you want is to generate a bunch of yaml. There is no need for a yaml template language.
I don’t understand #1. The article itself says that there’s plenty of evidence to support the basic dental wisdom of brushing and flossing regularly and getting regular checkups. Or are you arguing that the headline is correct and the content of the article is wrong?
And yet, despite all the difficulties, most job ads just look more or less the same- 3 pages of tech requirements, a ton of self praise about the company and 3 lines about what successful applicant would get: bean bag in the corner, Foosball and a spot in an open space office...
The incentives don’t always work out that way. There comes a point of diminishing returns for the recruiter; trying to get an extra $20k a year for you, might take time away from them closing two or three other candidates. Also, a recruiter does not get any real benefit out of negotiations that involve things other then salary. Extra vacation, bonuses, guaranteed severance packages, etc.

Key take a way from this: never let your recruiter negotiate on your behalf. Once you are at the stage, tell your recruiter to F off and get the best deal you can for yourself.

The luck aspect, under this particular hypothesis, would be that either your mom ate well or she didn't.
I have noticed two things,

1) every company I have interviewed with has lied to me at some point in the process. Sometimes those are small lies, sometimes they are very big ones. I get that hiring is a complex process but a company's recruiters and hiring managers should make an effort to not over-promise and under-deliver to people that want to work there.

2) I have never received an offer from a company that asked me my salary expectations. I consider that question a loud signal that I am just being regarded as a data point by the recruiter, and I basically write them off.
I think people have been sufficiently trained in using off buttons that if you give it the right affordances (visibility, an On/Off label, an LED to show it's on), they'll be able to use it without too much friction.

After all, they had to turn on the computer first.

> I don’t have reason to believe my insurance will suddenly drop coverage when I need it. I don’t think that’s a huge risk.

Even for lukemia, or lung cancer? and that's assuming you go to work for the rest of your life. What happens when you get so sick with one of the above you can't go to work and you no longer have insurance?

> Your hypothetical world isn’t all that safe either, because when the government says no, that answer is final. There is no other option, there is no other way even if I wanted to pay

That's simply not true. I've had personal experience in Australia, Canada and the UK, and in each of those systems you can choose to pay for private coverage & care if you so wish. I have never felt the need.

EDIT: Also, I thought of another reason.

You use the word "I" or "Me" 6 times. Does your grandmother have the same "bulletproof" coverage you do? Your nieces and nephews? Your Sister and her husband? How about your distant cousins? How about even your best friends, neighbors, and their loved ones. It's not all about you. Think about how your loved ones will be impacted, because they just might not have the same coverage you do.
>>This practice favors the employer so much that it is illegal in California (and a few other states) to ask for salary history.

That's interesting....when submitting resumes for US Federal government (GS) jobs, their resume guidelines include salary, hours worked, and points of contact for each position. I wonder how positions advertised in the State of California can be reconciled with what you've shared?
Hmm, you're right, I agree, but you need to understand a language before working on a project (OK, maybe that's my style, maybe others interlace working + reading).

But the original poster claimed info was just so hard to get and I said it wasn't.

Horses for courses, ok. In reality it's books + SO + lots of online info + your local expert (there's usually one at least, though expertise is relative) + transferable skills from other languages.

All I'm saying is you need that info, and it's there, one way or another. There's so much info now out there compared to when I started programming. It's there, use it.

That is good that they have that. Would there be the possibility to change the link you posted to gopher? (Of course, even if you do not have support in your web browser you can still use a external gopher client software. And if you do not have a program you can write one; it isn't so complicated.) Many kind of devices that can connect to internet, with a suitable display and input (a common game pad or numeric pad would be sufficient; a touch screen also works, although I don't like touch screen so much; even one using printed on paper rather than the screen is work), that you should implement gopher. Many web pages they try to do separately mobile or desktop, and even then you will have different configuration, other thing, and can be messy, but gopher does not need those consideration like HTML does, because you can implement that as part of the client implementation rather than by whoever writes the files and puts them on the server; the server does not need to deal with the user presentation. Therefore, the user interface for gopher is better for many kind of devices than HTML does.

Am I only one who thinks it's absolutely insane to advocate stealing from someone because some people think they are too rich? That is mob rule.

You don't have a right to the wealth of the 1% anymore than they have the right to your wealth.
When I look at government services (where they have a monopoly and often where they have the full force of law to compel me to bend to their whims), I don't immediately think of a smoothly functioning, well-oiled, supportive machine such as I might want for my health care needs. Instead, I think of the DMV, the IRS, our public transportation systems, the FCC, traffic court, etc.

I don't love my current healthcare, but I'd rather muddle through 5 additional doctor visits than 1 additional DMV visit.
The parent has suggested a number of solutions, and you have not presented a convincing argument why any of those solutions would not help. You started by insinuating that most homeless are incurably schizophrenic. Then you looked it up on the Internet and found out some (fishy) statistics that stated that only 20% - 40% of all homeless are seriously mentally ill, so you backtracked and replaced your original suggestion with the statistically incorrect claim that 30% of all homeless all incurably schizophrenic and refuse treatment without presenting any evidence for that claim either. (Hint: This doesn't follow from the revised statement you gave in your last reply, for which you have also presented no evidence btw.) And when pressed about what it is you want to say, your overall point was that nothing can be done to help those schizophrenics among the homeless who refuse help. But the other poster already conceded that there is always a certain percentage who cannot be helped, so the two of you don't even disagree.

The only point that you backed up with some citation was the claim that only 20% to 40% of all homeless are seriously mentally ill, which seems to support the idea that it may be possible to start helping the majority 60% - 80% of homeless who are not seriously mentally ill. And, to make this clear, the vague suggestion that most or many homeless people who suffer from schizophrenia often refuse help wasn't really informative or helpful. Not without actual numbers and actual evaluation of help programs.

Your repeated suggestion that there is no solution and nothing can be done has certainly not convinced me.
Ask HN: What does a good mobile app developer's CV look like?
I’m so tired of feeling constantly at war with the industry to justify my own existence. The business people desperately need you but they hate you for what they have to pay. They’re always thinking what if?

What if we could outsource this to some magic 3rd world slave mine? What if we could hire some recent graduates or interns instead? What if we could get someone on an H1B and chain them to the desk?

It’s the natural result of being labor. Don’t like it? Be an owner.

The only alternative I can think of is for software to become a true profession with licensing and standards. This makes a lot of sense in a world fraught with security risks and ethics concerns about the usage of data.

In the meantime, I’m getting ready to hang up the keyboard. All the dynamism and potential has been ground out of this career path. What’s left is crushing demands and compensation that just doesn’t cut it anymore.
I think we have very different definitions of poor. $100k with a LTV of 10% means savings of $10k (besides the other fees of buying a place). Poor people don't have that.

A quick Google showed that the median savings account balance across American households is $4,830. And when you have a median that's considerably lower than the average, it means that the poor people are doing worse. The likelihood is they're in debt.

And as an aside, seeing as this is the UK, $100k wouldn't buy a house in an area that is desirable or has jobs, so you'd struggle to live there or rent it out.

I'm glad someone is filling this gap. As a huge Inbox fan I'm intrigued. But when Google warns DarwinMail will be able to "View and modify but not delete your email", I don't know if I can take the plunge.

For me, what I really want is reminders integrated into my mail routine (the killer feature of Inbox IMO), and I think that can be done in a way that maintains privacy better.
Wait, really? They still make these? People still use them? How secure are they really compared to USB tokens like a Yubikey? How do you interface with one of these?
I don’t think it works this way. Sure, you can hire cattle for almost nothing, but don’t expect them to produce much more than shit.
Most weath created in capitalism is a result of very recent development (see all IT companies that top S&P500). The generalizations that this article promotes, do seem akin to communist pamphlets. Those also use populist rethorics and half truth to steer hatred towards the rich.
Sorry, phrased that badly, I meant that being able to reel off tech specs wasn't an indicator of being a good programmer. For example, one guy was pretty good, but another was literally terrible, couldn't actually program, just able to talk about it.
No, the set must be an orthonormal basis. For example, two Fourier components technically form an orthonormal set, but do not form a complete basis.
Ask HN: How would you approach horizontal scaling of your software?
Hi,

I'm currently thinking about how to best implement partitioning/replication of my Open Source storage system written in Java. I've read "Designing Data-Intensive Applications: The Big Ideas Behind Reliable, Scalable, and Maintainable Systems" which is a great book, but I'd love more resources. At work we basically used Ignite for our application and horizontal scaling in the Cloud with a distributed file system, but the latter is something I clearly want to avoid.

So, do you have some resources/tips? I clearly want to have transactions based on some consensus algorithm and a single leader, which accepts writes. But basically I want to read more about the whole topic before moving forward and develop epics/tasks.

Do you have any resources / best practices? Nowadays it seems that almost everyone puts his software into the cloud via Docker/Kubernetes and some data grid, but I guess it's still complicated to do it right :-)

Kind regards and happy easter

I often dream of having a bunch of experts in any field in the same room answer some kind of basic question.

After college I worked at the computing lab. Someone started to talk about OOP. One dude said that OO was one thing; the other contradicted saying it was another thing. They started to debate about what said things were really .. they never reached any sort of conclusion.

Medicine isn't different. Sometimes I think we need a 2-tiers doctor meeting where you can have at least 2 different opinions in one go.
But traffic to a recursive resolver can already be protected by other means, e.g. a tunnel to one that you control. There are zero options for contacting the authoritative ones.
Right, generic drugs are cheap, but you still have to find someone to prescribe it. If you show up in ED without insurance with a hypertensive crisis, they'll give you blood pressure drug doses to resolve/stabilize it, but I don't think they have to give you a prescription to fill. They might charitably do so, but what do you do on Day 29 of that prescription?

The "crazy expensive" part of health care is the long-term chronic conditions: they require a lot of care/tweaking/services over a long period of time. The lifetime costs of treating a diabetic exceeds the lifetime costs of the one-off hip replacement or hip fracture.

I dunno how Trump will create downward pressure on drugs without regulating prices on patented drugs or discouraging/defunding cost-ineffective interventions. That's how most other countries do it, but it seems incompatible with his philosophy.
We didn't have reason to believe that we'd lose coverage either. Until my mother had her stroke, and the insurance company fought tooth and nail to not pay out, ultimately resulting in bankruptcy.

Are you confident you'll never go through a stroke?
The Google auth PAM module is very straightforward: https://github.com/google/google-authenticator-libpam

The moon has a ton of mass and—therefore—inertia. The chaotic effects of the system are still present, but require dramatically larger timescales to notice any kind of effect.
I would imagine the federal government has enough transparency and process regarding pay scales to make this moot.
Most of the high ranking health care systems would probably be considered "universal healthcare", in that everyone has access to care. Many of them are not single payer though (in the sibling comment's WHO ranking link, France, a multi-payer system, was ranked #1 for "overall system performance").

But I agree generally with this approach. Nearly every developed country has dramatically lower costs for the level of health outcomes, but they do it in a variety of different ways. There are clearly possible affordability improvements (even if we only try to catch-up to where other countries are at). But certain approaches may be more feasible to implement or may have less downside if things don't go perfectly.

US salaries are on a whole new level when it comes to senior programmers. $200K+ base is normal, if you're good. $150/hr for consulting gigs is also normal if you're good.

So your $5K after taxes wouldn't even register on my radar.
There is some consistent evidence for the current timelines for human civilisation - although it's all sketchy.

- complexity and type of tools & technology dug up
- change in pollen due to agriculture
- change in genetics of domesticated animals

None of these (as far as I know) point to cities or civilisations that didn't have cities (if such a thing is conceivable, which it could be) way further back than the current records show.

And here does Mozilla what they can do best… blaming others for their own naivety – Have they really been thinking that Google is the friendly benefactor they acted towards Mozilla? And that removing features and choice and adopting stock features and stock design – as persuaded by Chrome engineers – would be a clever idea to mobilize the user-masses?

And now where this failed – oh.. it is Google’s fault all along… because they have…. sabotaged Mozilla! The idea that Mozilla must blame itself for being naive… Impossible taught… never ever! It is always the other party which is to blame!

The glory days of past Mozilla are SO over sadly!
