> Using emergency services for the core of your argument is a strawman, as vastly more medical services are non-emergency or life threatening.

No, it isn't. It's the reason health insurance isn't insurance. Literally everyone will at some point come down with an emergency or life-threatening condition, and 100% of us will eventually die of one. It's not insurance if it's going to happen to you.

> Also, in the US, Kaiser is an innovation. Comparing a voluntary, private organization to a forced, tax-funded system is a false comparison.

That doesn't make it innovating. Cloning a system that works elsewhere isn't innovation. Get over the "forced tax funded" nonsense too, unless you want to relinquish all social services like education, fire, water, etc.

I get NHK on the NVIDIA Shield (my main device). It is also available on Roku. Programming may vary between devices, but these two both have Japanology Plus and the Mayao Miyazaki special.
I thought it was pretty good-- a welcome change from completely unbearable 'let's point and laugh at the nerds' shows like BBT. The archetypes in the Silicon Valley series are hyperreal-- but I swear I've worked with (or hired or fired) every character in the show at one point or another.

And the tech aspect isn't cringeworthy. They did some homework. I've only seen seasons 1&2, but I approve.
author seems astonished at the escalator placement that has been standard practice for over a decade.
That's not how it works. The terminal is running your login shell. All it has to do is launch an arbitrary process and then properly emulate xterm or whatever. Environment is handled identically to any other terminal session. Concern about it being "coded right" is misplaced.

The benefit is that you can copy data to/from it like any other Vim buffer.

It fits a certain workflow that some people prefer. If you don't consider alt-tabbing out of Vim to another window to be a big deal, it's probably not the workflow you're after, but for people like me who live inside a terminal and won't tab out for anything other than a web browser, it's useful. That said, I normally use another tmux window.
Seems like this is to be expected more and more. From what I have heard coal is only cheaper when you already have the coal power plants built but when you are starting fresh renewables make more sense.

They just demonstrated that HN comment scoring needs a bit more transparency too.

While the FAA has allowed it, not all aircraft have been certified to fly in all airspace without safety systems to prevent stalls. Give the D. P. Davies Interview, recorded by the Royal Aeronautics Society a listen, and you'll learn how the 727 was not allowed to be certified in the U.K. without a stick pusher equipped.

"he broad dismissal of entire fields of practice as placebo effect is itself a pseudoscientific reduction of science to a narrow band of European cultural practices labeled “science” "

It can be, but it doesn't have to be.

'Traditional Chinese Medicine' is effectively bogus, or what we would call 'placebo'. It's not 'racist' to point that out. Chinese Emperor's in the 19th century knew that and banned it, Mao knew it as well (he had a Western doctor for himself) but re-introduced TCM after the civil war because it's the only medicine he could afford. And 'it does work' (i.e. placebo) for quite a number of things.

But 'mindfulness' crosses reasonably into the domain of legit psychological and mental well being and frankly it's not rocket science to start to conceive how 'clearing one's mind', and 'being in the moment' as opposed to living in constant anxiety can be an issue in one's mental well being, just as an example.

So yes, it's soft, and susceptible to a lot of hocus pocus and probably some 'believers and hypers' etc., but that doesn't in and of itself abnegate the real opportunities from it.

They managed to destroy Iranian nuclear centrifuges using a very sophisticated attack. Read up on Stuxnet.

Also, as an Israeli, I can 100% confirm that Israelis have absolutely no issues with crossing any kind of boundary. The fact that others think that such a thing as "boundaries" exist only serves as an advantage.

Nice to see Israel not only colonizing and occupying land, but supporting terrorist organizations that attack human rights advocates.
Well, you could definitely do an ONeil island 3 without the windows and youbwould get twice as much habitable area as a result. The Rama craft from the Encounter with Rama trilogy is basically that.
Yep, and that's fine.
Were you able to find any other resources for learning it?
It required some discipline. I had to catch myself several times. The reason I avoided those terms is that I wanted readers to focus on one simple idea and not get distracted by all the baggage those terms bring with them. You can see by the comments that I wasn't totally successful.
Sure, but that's a surprisingly small industry given the political football it's been. Arby's employs more people.

> I don't love the 500lb gorillas of mainstream media, but they have skin in the game if they get caught pushing falsehood. Look at men who've trainwrecked their careers over getting caught in a lie - Olbermann, Dan Rather, etc.

Ok what about Rachael maddow? Joe Scarborough? Anderson Cooper? Don Lemon (Black hole ate a plane anyone)?

I could keep listing names of mainstream pundits who have been caught pushing false narratives for huge political gains and i don't seem them reprimanded.
I don't know. Since git uses content-based addressing, you can't actually alter any commit, only create new ones. And orphaned commits don't get garbage collected for like 30 days even if you explicitly tell git to clean things up. So, the original stuff will still be there. It might just not be obvious how to access it. Part of the commit is the reference to zero or more parent commit object ids. So, if you find the old commit, it still has it's history intact. `git log -g` is a handy command to see a composite git log that travels across branch changes.

I do get what you mean though. You effectively create new commits with an alternate view of history. I don't get quite why/how that causes a situation in which the code can't be merged? I don't rebase much, I prefer merging. Is there any resource that can explain why rebasing might be dangerous like that?

In general if branches diverge too far then you have difficulties merging no matter which strategy you use and sometimes if it diverges too far it just becomes hopeless. Mostly though if you are working in a team, commit daily and merging/rebasing frequently it should present fairly few problems.

I find I never run the actual command git bisect. I just do `git log --decorate --oneline --graph` and eyeball a good commit to start from and then basically do it by hand using commit messages to aid in making reasonable guesses as to where to try but following the basic binary search philosophy. Works well enough even with a complex history.
> A name for the state of Georgia

Where is "The Republic of Georgia" documented as a common name for Georgia?

"The Republic of Georgia" was the name of the country Georgia prior to the breakup of the USSR.
I only focused on the JAMA study as I'd seen it before, sorry about that I see it may have looked pretty slanted now, I wanted to have a better look at the positive metaanalysis, however the link on wikipedia was broken, look at where it points on wikipedia, you'll see "Cite error: The named reference Gotink was invoked but never defined (see the help page)."

I'm not disagreeing with you about that depression and anxiety thing, but it seems a bit of a stretch to suggest it to a generally mentally healthy person.

Is this the full FT article?
From what I understand, this is still scheduling in blocks of hours. One problem with solar & wind is that their variability happens on the scale of minutes. If you use them for base load, you'll be randomly losing or gaining large amounts of power output - much faster than industrial loads could switch. It would be unrealistic to try and plan around it, and supply/demand won't help here - even if you're selling sudden solar surplus at negative prices, there won't be enough buyers ready. For this to work, we need much more energy storage. Then there're seasonal variation; the industry your dad worked in probably wouldn't be happy if they were told they can't run wind tunnels in winter because there isn't enough power in the grid.
I started practicing mindfulness after seeing a cognitive behavioral therapist for anxiety. One of the core parts of CPT are learning how to relax your mind (I’d literally have all these thoughts racing through my head that were barely grounded in to any kind of reality). Practicing mindfulness instead of letting my mind wander into dark places effectively cured me of my anxiety. And that’s not just one anecdote, CBT is the gold standard in science-based therapy right now.
I dont know the details about that but there a long history of bad blood between the US and Bayer so this may have played some part in it.
Enough of your conspiracy theories
I can't agree enough with you. Everything you say makes sense for a private company.

What also makes sense for a private company and, in this case, a publishing company is that they are liable for what they publish.

That means that people can take action in the justice system if they think a contract was broken or any sort of harm was made.

Unfortunately, that is not the case with these platforms. You can't take action against them because they are not categorized as publishers, but as platforms instead which do not make them liable for things that they would otherwise be.

Make Google, Facebook and other "platforms" into publishers and this problem is solved.

What I dont understand is why farmers are still being brand loyal to companies like John Deere. There are quality tractor brands from Italy, Germany, Finland, Japan and Korea etc.

Would jumping to these brands be a easy fix or is there an issue with dealer networks and part there?

Seems to me while getting right to repair rules are still important, farmers of an area should be setting up coops for parts and swapping brands. Is that over-simplifying things?
Seeing the phrase "smart city" was the trigger for me, the stink of Newspeak and Doublethink is unmistakable. Shame on Eurasia, I mean, Eastasia..
No. The same thing happens all around the world. Your "left" and "right" may be different than mine "left" and "right", but their problems still come from people fixating on ideology over solving problems.
imposing high costs doesn't completely remove reckless behavior but it reduce reckless behavior.

Likewise, with high regulation, there still people who drive recklessly.

Regulation creates a barrier, so its not easy for newcomer to enter and compete.

Becoming a good trucker still requires training, practices, and equipment to promote safety regardless of regulation.
Yes, it will do that (which is bad) and also it will probably make poorer use of the land itself. What exactly is the goal of doing this? Immiseration for its own sake?

But it's as easy that the people opposed see the opportunity cost - if you spend $1T on this then you're spending -$1T on something else. Imagine if the Republicans proposed spending $1T on the military - why oppose it? It'll create jobs, right?
> Insurance is supposed to hedge against risk. You might need a broken arm; I will never need a hysterectomy or birth control (especially not the type covered by insurance).

Hedge against group risk. Why should I pay for your house burning down because it started on your deck? I don't have a deck. That's a terrible way of looking at it. The bigger the group/risk pool, the cheaper it is for everyone.

> And if the rural hospitals then shut down due to not being able to cover costs?

Sorry, that's not how socialized programs work. If there's particular need in communities they receive more funding. Or, the government flies people to nearby communities to seek treatment (see Northern Canada, Svalbard, etc).

> The definition of single-payer is in the name - there is a single entity which pays for insurance. A single payer. That means, definitionally, no private/supplemental insurance, no cash payments, no nothing. Experimental treatment may not be covered by private insurance, but at least it can be purchased with cash. A single-payer system definitionally precludes a cash option.

That's fine. Two tier is also fine. What's not fine is the status quo.

> Wrong; see above. Medicare is also subsidized in no small part by higher-paying patients; because it often reimburses at below-market rates, private coverage is necessary to pick up the slack.

Medicare subsidizes the private market by taking literally all the worst customers out of the risk pool. You've got this completely backwards. Without Medicare private cover would be astronomically expensive or have no margin.
Nice blog post! Certainly puts things into perspective in terms of how one should deal with errors, including sometimes just not caring about them much.
Economic pain for coal miners is a political issue.

Unsure if joking. Look up stuxnet
That's the sad reality I see as well.

If you look into my comments, you will see that most of them are downvoted simply because I differ from the main opinion of the demographics.

While it makes me a little sad to see an unjustified downvote I think that in the great scheme of things it doesn't really matter.

I'll keep voicing my opinion, for as long as I can even if that means I'm going to be downvoted. Ah, that includes "complaining" about downvotes as well just to fulfill the profecy ehehehe.
ok since I worked at a place last year where compile times were hurting things I can understand that part but in general I have to say really bad decisions need to be made for compile time to even be noticeable.
Not defending the police, but how do you establish status as a freelance journalist and does that convey protections that California law provides regular journalist, those in the direct employ of a news organization.

Economically speaking its mostly opportunity for natural gas.
> The best contrast to "modernism" would be the episode directly preceding it, namely Art Nouveau or Jugendstil.

Wasn’t Art Deco in between?

As an aside, I honestly don’t know why anyone tried to ‘improve’ art away from Art Nouveau/Arts & Crafts/Jugendstil: as far as I’m concerned they were the absolute pinnacle, the ne plus ultra of artistic endeavour. I mean, just look at William Morris’s work!

> what we need is a significant global shift in mentality and culture

Agreed, though whether we have time for this to happen seems doubtful. It would require a dramatic slowdown of faux-growth to enable natural systems to recover, while we spend the time needed (probably centuries) to develop tech with sustainability approaching that of evolved systems. There's no a priori technical reason why this should not be possible, but political realities make it hard to imagine. Maybe another 'intelligent' species can make this happen in a few millennia.
We have 3. React, angular, and vue. Angular isnt even recommended anymore so its really only react and vue.

I dont think there has been much change in the javascript world in the last few years that hasnt been strictly beneficial. The biggest paradigm shift is probably the widespread use of typing on the frontend with typescript and flow.
I hear you and I agree with you. HN shouldn't be a PR channel for your startup and the community benefits from talking about the competitive landscape. Your other comments about your margins and business model were quite insightful to me.

However having said that, it does feel like you are hijacking this thread. You have linked to your own website multiple times, advertised your own competing Indian artist services, and you are even answering questions that were posed to the OP. That, in my opinion, is a step too far. Your thoughts on "Community First" come across as a tad hypocritical as you seem to be doing plenty of PR for your own service. This may have not been your intention but that is what it is coming across as.
> Show me the part of the constitution where it says the government may sell health care. Show me the part that justifies transfer payments of any kind.

No that's fine, you can tell grandma why she's not going to get that hip replacement or cancer treatment. It's because of your free market principals and she should have made more money when she was young. See, grammy, it says so right here in the constitution - and The Fountainhead!

If only there was a way to update or modernize or uh, what's the word, amend the constitution.

> I proposed something of a solution above: remove the onerous regulations and allow industrialization of common procedures. This would cut out the bulk of health-care expense.

Yes, it's the regulations, for sure. Like the ones that keep the air and water clean, and the rivers not-on-fire. And drugs safe. See if we just got rid of that, we'd be in great shape. You know what would make it really cheap? Let's get rid of medical licensing requirements. Now that's a money saver.

> And how would you pay for such a plan? Even doubling taxes wouldn't do it: https://www.wsj.com/articles/even-doubling-taxes-wouldnt-pay....

That's absurd. Even a Koch funded study showed MFA would be +/- 5% of what it costs right now, but would cover everyone, accidentally showing the unit economics to be much better. [1] You take all the money employers are currently spending on employee cover via a combination of payroll and personal taxes, direct it to the Medicare pool and enroll everyone. This isn't some sort of new wild plan. Other OECD member states do that right now.

By the way, the paper I link is the one the WSJ article cites (your link is broken) and if you read anything past the first page it clearly states that not only would everyone be covered it would cost less per capita and in total. Another study recently showed that Medicare and Medicaid do a better job of controlling costs than the private sector setting us up for success in the longer term, too. [2]

Only surprising if you think "Hello" is an object of a string type. If however you think of it as a pointer, then moving the pointer is entirely unsurprising, especially as a pointer "is" an integer.
Great idea and clean demo.

Do you know what some of your customers are doing with this in the real world.
But as the article alludes, questions of authorship are dismissed by overwhelming consensus. It is also a question for which the sort of conclusive evidence that’s desired just doesn’t exist. In some sense, it’s analogous to climate change denialist articles.

So, it’s nice to learn more about Emilia Bassano. But it’s a problematic article, and, especially, your defense of it seems problematic. It almost detracts from her work to try to fit her into the Shakespeare authorship pigeonhole, and it’s also the case that there’s far less evidence for this competing hypothesis than the one favored by Occam’s Razor, that Shakespeare was simply Shakespeare, and astonishing as he was and the unresolved questions we have, we should just accept it.

Then I'd suggest ensure you have some savings together to cover a 'just in case' prolonged search then talk to your employer that you need a better notice period as you keen for something new. Pitch it as this gives to time to find the right job rather than rush off. They might be reasonable. You might even end up with a counter offer that makes you want to stay.

If they won't change, quit on the spot. Then you've got 3 months to find a job.

Edit: Added the pitch it as.
Specifically why I left morality out of it. If one brings morals into it, you end up using phrases like “it’s not personal, it’s business” to justify morals or disregard responsibility from actions.

I don’t think there is anything wrong with adding “force”, or “force majeure” in some cases, behind ideas. Just don’t pretend that it doesn’t cost anything or that doing so is not having an effect by slinging around meaningless apologies like “sorry, it’s not personal, it’s business.”
