> I think that American people (probably more than any other country) value freedom of choice more than "cost cutting." Also, the idea of reducing costs by a government simply taking over the market really stinks of tyrannical authoritarianism in these here parts. It's distinctly un-American (like it or not).

That's a false choice because the vast majority can't afford the choice and never will. The rest the choice of physician is made for them by their employer.

> Strangely enough, freedom of choice (i.e., increased supply along with low switching costs and price/value transparency) generally also leads to cheaper prices. I'm pretty sure that reforms in those types of areas are what would most easily get support from American people.

No, it doesn't. Not when your life is on the line. That's what the OECD and WHO data shows.

> Yes, we could just go along with what other countries have done, but dang it, America is a leader. America champions freedom. If you want a better system (and I'm sure just about everyone in America does, I know I do) those are the things you have to sell.

Not in this case. It's an abject failure here. It's the world's most expensive per capita -- by a country mile. It costs twice as much as Canada, has the same level of health outcomes, covers far fewer people. It's a bad system. America has lots of positive things but it's by no means a world leader in everything. For instance, not being obese.

Just because you're in front doesn't mean you're going in the right direction.
Bazel is great until you have to install tensorflow from source into a container and are sitting wondering why you have to put and configure a JVM inside a container-destined-to-be-static-binary, temporarily to get a python program with no Java bindings installed.

As I'm not the most intelligent developer, I'm sure there's a better, more sophisticated way to do this but I got really frustrated and gave up.
Note that such prize is most likely for low Earth orbit - and I don't think you want a 30 km long orbital there when if you could get it there.

There is still signifficant air drag in LEO that would get it down rather quickly, ruining someones day on the surface.

Coal companies folding is hardly economic pain, just opportunity for solar and wind.
Short term testosterone would have little effect.

However voice pitch is highly social and situational... it could still all be correlated. Someone who feels confident and feels like they "won" might subconsciously lower their voice in other interactions.

To give another example, men tend to subconsciously lower their voices when talking to a woman they find attractive. There's a lot of other things going on than just the physiology.
This is a great point. In all the temp jobs OP has had, how have they not built up a good network of contacts? I suspect there is more to this situation than just a distaste for interviewing — it sounds more like a distaste for people.

The fact is that it’s not realistic to want to keep your head down and code. You need to deal with the human side of things, or you’ll end up being and feeling marginalized.
In the style of JSON I like to use, and whih GitHub and Google Drive use, the relationship name is given by the JSON name. So if you see 'owner: /person/12345', then 'owner' is the relationship name. There are other JSON styles for expressing the relationship name — the blog post mentions some of them. You might quibble about whether these names are the names of the relationship, or just names of one end of the relationship.
> If you're already using a Vagrant or Docker-based development workflow, WSL doesn't really add much, and takes some things away. I/O performance, for example.

I've been actively using WSL for over a year along with Docker and set up the Docker CLI in WSL to talk to the Docker for Windows daemon.

Performance in that scenario is no different than running the Docker CLI in PowerShell, or do you just mean I/O performance in general in WSL? In which case once you turn off Windows defender it's very usable. WSL v2 will also apparently make I/O performance 2-20x faster depending on what you're doing.

WSL adds a lot if you're using Docker IMO. Suddenly if you want, you can run tmux and terminal Vim along with ranger while your apps run nice and efficiently in Docker. Before you know it, you're spending almost all of your time on the command line but can still reach into the Windows cookie jar for gaming and other GUI apps that aren't available on Linux and can't be run in a Windows VM.
> That's BS. By that logic no Airbus or any fly-by-wire plane could ever be certified - they actually require the computer augmentations to fly.

I would imagine that, to be certified, the Airbus planes had to demonstrate that:

a) The computer augmentation was unlikely to fail,

b) when failed, the plane was still flyable enough, and

c) the pilots were trained to fly the plane when the augmentation failed. (I believe this is called “direct law”, and I would be utterly shocked if pilots are not trained to fly the plane in direct law mode.)
All my life I've thought spyware was developed primarily by evil Russian and Chinese hackers. But apparently also by Israeli developers with their government's blessing and open endorsement. That's some very shady stuff.

Before someone says something about government surveillance of fiber cables. Yes, that is also bad, but exploiting vulnerabilities to install spyware on peoples phones... It crosses yet another line that shouldn't ever be crossed.
I recently had this discussion here regarding CSGO, more regarding loot boxes, but a similar enough conversation.

In CSGO, people really do care about skins. Now, you normally don't get flamed for having default skins, but people look closely at your knife, your AWP, your gloves, etc. If you have good skins, people generally like you more (in a random queue context). You are also expected to generally not suck.

On the flip side, you set yourself up for pressure by having nicer skins, because people then say "all skins, no skill". So oddly enough the skins in CSGO do play into the culture. Especially because the running joke is the better the skins, the better the player.
This is completely wrong. An Airbus is not made conformant with FAR 25 airworthiness standard by software protections. It conforms to all of FAR 25 requirements without any of the safeguards in place, whereby stick inputs are directly translated to control surfaces. The airworthiness standards are predicated on aerodynamics, not software abstraction of an otherwise unairworthy design.

The idea there are switches in the airplane I can use to make the airplane unairworthy is absurd. And it is equally absurd that the aircraft flight manual and an emergency airworthiness directive would so direct a pilot to make the plane less airworthy than it already is, let alone unairworthy, as a corrective action. It's just absurd. You're welcome to provide a citation, however.

I submit FAR 25. I've read the entire thing and there's nothing in there that permits software to paper over an otherwise unairthworthy aircraft design.
The "gratitude" definition you give seems to be a special case of "appreciation"; I honestly don't see how appreciating and returning kindness could be objectionable.
The 60s and 70s were more than Bob Dylan and Joan Baez. It was Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin and Motown, etc. There were protests and protest songs but it’s wasn't the majority. And Japan pretty much skipped the whole thing.
Isn't it the case that the standard of proof here is 'via a preponderance of the evidence' (it is more likely than not) rather than the criminal trial 'beyond a reasonable doubt'?

That seems decidable.
I always had trouble reading makefiles because the control flow is not very linear. At least with shell files basically everything is explicit.
Yes, 100% this. I've been trying to articulate the annoyance I have with modern front-end development and this hits the nail on the head.

Does anyone know SF companies that take this attitude? I've been interviewing all over at startups and large companies but I always feel misaligned when discussing front-end tradeoffs. I'm in the process of realigning my career away from full-stack dev nowadays because the state of frontend dev is so horrendous in my opinion. But I'd rather just work somewhere that isn't trying to turn every little thing into an SPA.

'standard-sized inventory' is probably doing a lot of heavy lifting. If this the same machine several of the videos there's no bubble wrapping by the machine and no option to use dunnage to put several wildly different sized objects in one box, or deal with like a lamp or a toilet plunger. There's still gonna be manual packing it's just now there will by SIOC, automatic-boxed and manual-boxed categories when presorting for shipping instead of just SIOC and boxed.
I'm talking about in the US. You're right on the first point - 95% of patent cases do have a jury. The part I felt was dysfunctional was that often times judges seem LESS aware of many modern topics (e.g. tech) than a cross-section of laypeople. Plus a huge number of patent cases happen in some rando district of East Texas which is problematic, but that's really beside your point.

I'd be okay with a "jury of judges" approach (provided it was at least 6, like a normal jury) to reduce undue influence, if legal system could hypothetically arrange that.

Finally someone on HN who is not gaga about meditation. :-P

In my understanding, meditation simply enables one to develop a heightened form of emotional detachment that may help deal with life's vicissitudes. Of course, that's again treating the symptoms and does nothing to cure the unhappiness.

I built something like this in Java in the past to generate whole towns/cities. I have to admit that generating things as you go along is probably more effective than generating everything up front.

And maybe Society gets things wrong right? We dont torture people to get confessions anymore (in most western countries at least) so surely our standards evolve over time. We are not at the Apex of everything yet.
So lets see:

- Modernism isn't a collection a movements across different countries/mediums in the early 20th century, but a "movement" whose "heart" is making intellectuals feel better than regular folks.

- No space for differing aesthetic opinions, the only real art is what you feel in your gut.

- Modernists are actively trying to change the places you live in work, despite the fact that the height of the movement happening decades ago.

- Specifically call out Jazz/Atonal music, apropos nothing.

Look, I'm all for differing opinions, but yours are more political than aesthetic (proving the parent's point). Plenty of modern architecture is aesthetically pleasing to the untrained eye. Some of it is not, and some of it is just objectively bad. However, your particular point of view, which presupposes some elite cabal, pushing there modernist agenda/degenerate art on an unknowing and unwilling populace, deserves some more scrutiny.
My understanding is that gratitude is the standard term for that in the context of mindfulness.
You'll still have to anonymize IP addresses, since those are classified as personal data in the EU.
They are so trained, and the airplane is still considered airworthy in that mode, including in particular as it related to this conversation, the FAR 25 positive static stability and stall behavior requirements.

Essentially that the Bell theorem is wrong because his definition of causality was incorrect. I'm in no position to comment on it one way or another, but it seems like quite an odd forum to be presenting his case.
You are much more likely to call dealer/tech support for a tractor than you are for a car. It's the same reason enterprise software contracts are mainly just paying for support. If your business is on the line, you want it to work, and you want someone to fix it when it's not working.

Tractors are basically automated plant-production factories. They have tons of sensors and moving parts. If you want support from the people that made it, it's not unreasonable that they can dictate the terms of use in order to get that support.
A failure on the part of the government and themselves to prepare for the inevitable. Mostly the government, since they're the ones we measure by unemployment rates.
If you do a lot of adhoc sql with an editer that supports multiline editing, it allows for pasting in big lists of text and quickly formatting it, trailing commas and ragged edge right data suck to edit in bulk.
Well, it can be both. Just because it's good for the environment, and maybe even the economy as a whole, doesn't mean that it's not causing pain. Real pain, to real people. Who really should be helped, perhaps helped to get those jobs in solar and wind!

If we had a functional Congress, that's the sort of thing we would be doing.
As soon as you learn to exercise particular feelings you choose (most people believe feelings can only be triggered with external factors and not chosen at their own will but they are wrong) you will find out that feeling (actively) gratitude and pure unconditional love for no reason is extremely pleasurable.

Scientists would probably notice increase in pleasure/happiness-related neurochemicals and particular happy brain area activity patterns when I just choose to feel gratitude if they could put me in an fMRI machine and also perform realtime neurotransmitters monitoring.

Nevertheless I am not sure if this can be considered a reliable medication alternative, it can be hard to switch to these feelings with stressed amygdala and depleted L-tryptophan.
Since there's no version information available, I think it's safe to assume they haven't been doing it on iOS for several years.

OK, if we are going to focus on "Complaints to HR" (or perhaps something similar) would you consider the case of Lindsay Shepherd[1] to be a concrete example?

In her case, she was reprimanded for sharing a topically relevant clip of a mainstream news show. There is a question as to whether a complaint was actually made, but the claim was made that a complaint had been filed when she was reprimanded.

Celery is a job execution system, nothing more. It can be used synchronously or asynchronously, in a central-bus type broker layout or a different one. It is orthogonal to the architectural patterns being discussed here, but can be used to facilitate many of them when deployed purposefully.

It's awful because real people are losing their jobs and probably don't have the best prospects. It's necessary though. It's one of the reasons a good government has social programs to support those whose jobs become obsolete.

The idea is that there's a history of the transaction in the register to get the receipt (so it happened), and it was handed to someone and they might read it.
These devices are powerful enough to perform regular desktop workstation tasks. But selling general purpose wearable computers is not cool, as is not cool selling hackable mobile phones. So apparently makers will keep making sexy locked-down devices in hope it surely sells out this time. Open it up - no-no, they won't be fools to do such mistake.

Disclaimer: I have a wearable computer with head mounted display (Vufine+, ~$200) and one-handed wireless keyboard (Twiddler 3, ~$200). The rest is Raspberry Pi Zero W and a powerbank. All devices are off-the-shelf, no soldering whatsoever.
That quote is very dishonestly misleading, as the same study found it had evidence of improved anxiety, less depression and pain.

Courts are less likely to award further punitive damages. Those who doesn't have the resources to go against Monsanto's lawyers would have incentives to participate in a class action lawsuit.
There's nothing inherently wrong with maintaining the construct of gender, if it has been defanged to do no harm to anybody.

If "gender" just means that you put on a dress and makeup and now you're "a girl", or you put on a suit and cut your hair and now you're "a dude", then "gender" isn't really anything to be afraid of, because anyone can put on or take off a gender any time they like, and it's no longer an inherent property of a person. It's just a word describing voluntary roles that anyone can assume at any time—archetypal character profiles that one can choose to "wear" to indicate that people should identify them with that archetype (like wearing a mask in an opera; or "disneybounding.")

We're not there yet, mind you, but that's the direction the LGBTQ movement has been trying to push things for decades now: making it less about "am I female?" and more about e.g. "am I a dainty princess?" where anyone who wants to play the role of "a dainty princess" can do so; and anyone who wants to opt out of that role can do that, too, and nobody in particular is expected to take that role upon themselves.

But if-and-when we have all that, then there would be nothing wrong with wanting to conform to the stereotype of "a dainty princess", or to any other gender-based stereotype; and there wouldn't even be anything wrong with gatekeeping such roles, insisting that "a dainty princess" has a particular look and behavior, being picky about who does or doesn't fit the mold of "a dainty princess", etc. If nobody is already slotted into any gender by default, then "gender" becomes a matter of finding the gender that perfectly suits you; rather than something where you're stuck with a gender whether it suits you or not, and so have to fight for the mind-share required to deform your gender's definition to ensure it includes you.
There was Stuxnet, which was almost certainly a joint US/Israeli operation (likely other minor players involved), and plenty of other programs we never hear about.
> it misses the fact that the Earth is not a closed system

How so? It's not an argument per se - it's just a description of the physical reality that what economists falsely describe as 'growth' is actually a transfer of matter and energy from complex evolved sustainable systems (ie. what some people call 'nature', which I find to be misleading) to simple cultural-technological unsustainable systems. This transfer process damages the former to build the latter, increasing entropy (because our early-stage human tech is less ordered than evolved systems are). It is not 'growth' in any meaningful sense of the term at all, whether limited or unlimited.

Do a bit of reading by the proponents of gratitude and you'll see that it is not the same as appreciation. For example, here's a quote from a link someone else posted on this thread:

People feel and express gratitude in multiple ways.
They can apply it to the past (retrieving positive
memories and being thankful for elements of
childhood or past blessings), the present (not
taking good fortune for granted as it comes), and
the future (maintaining a hopeful and optimistic
attitude).

Would you use "appreciation" to describe that?

Also here are the ways to cultivate gratitude per that same link:

Write a thank-you note.
Thank someone mentally.
Keep a gratitude journal.
Count your blessings.
Pray.
Meditate.

Is that how you'd describe "appreciation"? The spiritualists, and their secular friends, choose "gratitude" for a reason--they recommend a specific emotional state.

Personally in my mind appreciation is a matter of fact straightforward activity of ongoing enjoyment (of activities, things, events, people, etc.). Gratitude is not even close to that as illustrated above ... one I find little to no value in exemplifying (as there are superior ways of experiencing life such as appreciating being alive having a cup of coffee on a sunny terrace!).

> I honestly don't see how appreciating and returning kindness could be objectionable

Where did I write that they are objectionable? I said that gratitude is ineffective when you could be going straight to the root cause of resentment and dislodging it from your life.
