As bad as it is in the US, I can get seen the same day or next day.

I had a thrombosed hemroid, I called and got an apointment the next day with a specialist. He confirmed my diagnosis and I got surgery to drain and remove it the following day. Only cost me less than 200 dollars after insurance.

I had a bump on my testicle. I was concerned about cancer, so I see my regular doctor. $20 copay and he said it was just a blood something. I wanted to be sure, so he refered me and I got an ultrasound the same day at another facility. That only cost me a $100-something dollars after insurance. (It wasn't cancer.)

Thrombosed hemroid where 95% of people treat it by soaking it in water daily? Probably low-priority, 58 days. Waiting 58 days for an ultrasound to see if you have cancer?

Yeah, I'll keep the coverage/insurance that I have. I still understand the vast majority doesn't have it as good as I do and we still need to fix the system. I think we can bring people's standards up to what I experience, not down to what Canada experiences.
The fourteen stages of any real software project – bert hubert (2008)
Hey! So services vary widely from place to place (since congregations run democratically). The form is based on a traditional protestant service, but with modern adaptations. We sing a lot of songs - I've heard everything from christian hymns to buddhist chants to the Beatles and Peter Meyer (probably not during the same service). We have three hymnals, including one in Spanish.

UUs have seven principles (https://www.uua.org/beliefs/what-we-believe/principles) but none of them require any sort of supernatural belief. Coming from an anti-theist background they were all already things I agreed with. Some people say that you can believe in anything and be a UU, which isn't quite true - any belief system that sees others as "less than", for example, would be incompatible.

As for who does the talking, most congregations have a trained minister (like my partner) who leads most services. They talk on a variety of topics, but mostly about community, justice, activism, and lessons from other religions.

Hope this helps!
cL-permutations looks nice!

As an old Lisp programmer, it makes me feel good seeing CL applications.

I broadly agree with your points in this conversation but I am downloading the Engine right now. I also did a ten day free trial of Mathematica recently. I have a little time to spare to kick the tires.

BTW, in the same way that Keras has functionality to download some standard data sets and cache them locally, I would like to see more CL projects do the same. Julia has a few such packages. Having easy to access data is a selling point for Wolfram Language.
I don’t think this is accurate.

The mathematicians/engineers were more like architects, and the women programmers weren’t merely compilers or input technicians. They actually wrote code, though this was also considered a drudge task back then (a view that was corrected later). Also, proximity to the hardware allowed many to grow out of their original job descriptions.
I spent three years reading the first three and (attempting, at least) every exercise. I enjoyed it, but I don’t know if it made me a better programmer. I definitely did learn a lot, although maybe not that much that was really practical.
No, if you can prove that a secure hash function exists, then you have proved that P != NP. (This is what alexbecker said.)

If you can prove P = NP, then you have proved that no secure hash functions exist. (This is the contrapositive.)
you are correct.

It's the most popular web framework for Elixir.

It's MVC-ish with the caveat that the Model is broken down into two files, context and schema.

From what I've gathered, it also offer three unique things compare to other framework (on top of the power of Erlang's VM).

1) Channel - easy integration with websocket

2) Presence - some advance thing that keep track of people online

3) LiveView - In beta-(ish?) It's a compromise between front end framework.

Do note I haven't had the chance to use 2 or 3. I did a little of 1 as a tutorial.
I'm sorry, inserting an icepick through the eye then scrambling the brain behind it has a pretty well-deserved reputation as being barbaric. What is done today far more rarely and far more selectively has no relationship to the old treatment.

I'm also aware that electroshock therapy has real uses. However the widespread use of it with little cause has gone the way of the dodo for good reasons. But a lot of people suffered before psychiatry stopped using it as a routine treatment to use as a first resort for a wide variety of conditions.
>If you have found peer-reviewed research indicating that hormone treatment for GD does more harm than good, I'd be eager to see it.

Somewhat difficult when leading researchers are the targets of mobs and death threats [0], banned from the public square [1], and denied funding and tenure [2].

In conditions such as these that the science isn't 100% unanimous means that in saner times the consensus will be completely the opposite of what special interests are pushing for, see tobacco-cancer, co2-global warming for the playbook.

Or are you going to try wiggle out of this with whataboutism on how unjust things used to be 40 years ago?

skabooshka observes the factory to document actual Tesla production numbers and prevent it from lying to the public. He may have also thrown a monkey wrench in some kind of "full self driving" fake demo by taking photos of the pilot car they were filming before their investor autonomy day.

If Tesla wasn't lying about its numbers or engaging in some kind of shenanigans at the factory, then how could skabooshka taking pictures make it fail? Let's set aside Tesla's claims that he tries to hurt their employees since the Fremont police report already showed their account on that incident was very deceptive.

You advocate for regulating the USPS to reduce the delivery of SPAM if you want. I'm happy to just see them disappear. Why should I care to have government regulate a service provider into providing a better service when a better service already exists?

In practical terms I cannot stop having a mailbox, because a few times a year a check or something comes in the mail. That means I would have to go get my mail from the post office every so often and go through it all. So all that's accomplished is I have to drive a few miles down the road to pick up my USPS garbage instead of having the garbage delivered into my front yard. If the USPS didn't exist at all, everyone (businesses, official government notifications, etc) would switch to the better service providers like UPS/FedEx.
I would plop down and read the fat volumes of the NeXTSTEP General Reference.
You're right that the off-the-shelf experience with Windows can be very dodgy depending on what your OEM is and what crap they decided to put into the core OS.

I'm conflicted about all this myself because I have a good experience with Win10 once I get all the extra nonsense removed, the settings changed, and my shell setup working. I feel like Windows rewards people who are willing to put the time into it now, but its not as easy as dealing with Mac OS where you basically just clear off the toolbar, put the shell and whatever dev apps onto it, and maybe tweak a few settings and you're okay to go.
I always wondered why the panic monster was so great at marshalling concentration, and so bad at defending against the wave of shame that comes once the task is complete and you wonder why you waited so long (again!!)
Even Jim Cramer (famous Tesla bear that he is) took issue with this “analysis”.

> Setting a price target of $10 on a $200 stock "really is insane," the "Mad Money" host said. "How about $8? How about $12? Ten basically says, 'I want to get talked about. Let's talk about me.'"

> "If he had done $47 would we have talked about him? No, but 10. Ten is right in your face," Cramer said on "Squawk on the Street." "I question this piece of research."

If even Cramer is willing to call bullshit on this, it makes you wonder. Is there any duty of care in these analysis? Are they merely op-ed of another name? Or if they are supposed to mean something, what kind of repercussions should follow from this kind of malfeasance?

But most of all, remember the old adage, when there’s blood in the streets...
Well, I don't understand that either.

If you're spending $1,000, what is 20 minutes setting up lighthouses? As far as I'm concerned, it barely even factors into the equation.

My vive's 3rd and 4th controllers are broken right now, so I'm just going VRless for a few months until the Index ships, and man do I miss Rec Room. More specifically, the people. Both a handful of vr friends I made and the greater community. I'm honestly considering picking up a Rift S just for rec room.

I don't even use the maker-pen and circuits stuff, i'm mostly a paintballer/rec-royaler. If you're the kind of person who ever once enjoyed minecraft you have to try using the maker pen and creating a custom room: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gn4jcZEADhs

> The coverup of pedophiles by the Christian church is also absolutely sickening.

I think you mean the Catholic church? There is no single Christian church. Not to say that didn't/doesn't happen in other denominations, but it seems to mostly be a Catholic problem. I've heard about it happening with the Mormons too, now that I think about it.

> There are millions of christians who disagree with you.

About The Greatest Commandment and the Golden Rule? As directly quoted from Jesus? If so, this definition of "Christian" is far too encompassing to be useful in this discussion.

> But yeah sure, clearly you're the one person in the world who has it right!

What I'm quoting is even less controversial than the Nicene Creed, which is unanimous among major Christian denominations. They can't even agree on what day of the week is the sabbath and what day of the year is Easter, but they all agree on The Nicene Creed. And they absolutely agree on The Greatest Commandment.

There is not as much controversy about the basics as you seem to think there is.
Liabilities are debts.

> liability: a thing for which someone is responsible, especially a debt or financial obligation.

According to the balance sheet equation,

> Assets = Liabilities + Owners Equity

Certainly all code is a liability - it must be at least understood and maintained from time to time (80% of lifetime cost is in the maintenance).

And while an accountant might also mark it an asset - not all code is an asset - and we recognize that fact when we delete for badness or disuse - or rewrite it to make extending and maintaining it easier.
No, but they aren't compensated nearly as well due to the market prices being "set" lower than what they can command in another market. i.e. practicing medicine in the U.S. commands a higher wage than in Canada so doctors leave the Canadian system after completing their residency. Hence, the shortage of supply caused by a market distorted by socialism.

I still think the PowerBook 540c was the best Apple laptop that I ever used.

Although I had switched over to Windows by the time of the Pismo G3/500 (voted the best ever), I had my 540c upgraded with a PowerPC, and got many years of delightful service out of it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerBook_500_series

I had a 5300 for a while and it was a piece of crap compared to the sturdy souped-up 540c.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerBook_5300

It had two big symmetrical removable battery compartments, so you could switch out one at a time and keep running on as many batteries as you have pre-charged without interruption! Plus there was an external dual battery charger.

And you could swap a hard disk drive or CDROM into one of those bays.

Plus it was fat enough that it was able to cool so it didn't overheat all the time like an MBP.

Anorexic thinness isn't a thing for me: I'd trade a lot of thinness for huge removable batteries and great ventilation.

The results for searches like "Tesla" and "Elon Musk" cast a lot of doubt on your claim. The top-ranked HN link for "Autopilot" is still the NHTSA study which purported to demonstrate a 40% reduction in driving incidents and has since been thoroughly debunked.
Microsofts worst enemy, IMO, is their OEMs who are allowed to put all kinds of custom side-hustle garbage into the OS and it takes alot of work to remove it. Essentially, you have to pay a premium to a manufacturer to signal you're a "serious" user instead of "consumer" user, or you have to spend time removing spam... I mean "custom" apps that the OEM got paid to put onto your machine. At least, Apple only hustles their own ecosystem apps and let you safely hide or remove most of them.
It's not for Malaysian born Chinese. We usually have three names. For example, mine is SOH Kam Yung:

SOH - family name

Kam - 'generational' name (same as for my brothers)

Yung - my given name

For simplicity, I usually add a hyphen (Kam-Yung) in my name to make it easier for people to refer to me in non-formal settings, i.e. I should be called "Kam Yung" or "Mr. Soh".

Calling me "Kam" (it has happened) is nonsensical from my point of view.
Real threat: Truecaller data available for sale
Hmmm, I always thought it was me, but there really is a natural reaction of dismay, to witness what seems to be a bottomless pit of goods always on standby on store shelves.

In particular, with perishables, I look at the things that won't possibly sell before being removed for lack of freshness, and I've always considered it to be an absurd waste.

The other night, I walked by a Dunkin Donuts, and a garbage bag of donuts and bagels had spilled across the sidewalk. It was probably $100 worth of food getting dumped into a landfill because it was day-old baked goods. But the line out the door at eight in the morning meant that profits had more than cleared that margin of disposable food. How to reconcile that with the bums panhandling and playing doorman all day?

That stores display perishable products for the sake of advertising to foot traffic has always freaked me out on visceral level. To waste a quantity of human activity for purely ostentatious purposes doesn't sit well with one's primal conscience.
> Want to port a SIM? I'll put your request in now but it will wait for 5 business days before it happens, and at any point if you or someone claiming to be you calls up to stop it, we stop it, no questions asked.

Funny because that's exactly what happens in France when you do so. I must have sounded a bit dumb when I asked when my number would be active when I changed from Tello to Verizon. I couldn't believe it was effective right away.
I've added the costs, many of which are the headaches of repair logistics, and the immeasurable pains that occur when someone dies or is injured, and say, I like the Texas red-light cameras.

Hundreds of millions of people are forced to rely on it. I can't be the only person who sees the primary role of the USPS is to deliver garbage to my front yard.

The benefit of UPS/FedEx is if they start leaving garbage in my front yard, I can sue them for littering.

If the USPS goes away there will be a very short adjustment period when private organizations and official government changes its mailing practices, but it will all be fine. I'm willing to make a compromise where the federal government can require that regular (weekly?) mail delivery be available everywhere in the country, and if it's not available from private sources the government can create one. So if you're in the boonies of the northern most territory of Alaska, you'll get weekly mail or something delivered by government subsidized mail service.
This was the quote I had in mind but couldn't quite recall.
True. When I still did boxing I usually quickly found people.
Seems like a "better than nothing" mitigation for sites that insist on SMS 2FA is using a Google Voice number so the recovery # is 2FA protected.

Out of curiosity are there any decent free/cheap voip services that support 2FA aside from Google Voice? Using the same provider for email + recovery codes makes me a little nervous.
I was sufficiently annoyed by this article that I actually shouted "BATTERIES, YOU IDIOT".

Google said in 2011 that a single Google search uses about 0.3Wh of power. A typical mobile phone battery has a capacity of about 12Wh. Peer-to-peer systems are almost always less efficient than client-server systems, often by a large factor. You do the math as to whether a peer-to-peer internet based on mobile phones is even remotely viable.

I speak publicly a bit more than monthly from groups of 50 to over 400. When I have the last slot, I make sure do a few things:

1) make the title salacious as I can;
2) engage those "survivors" more. In the past when in Vegas I've ordered a tray of drinks and offered them up as prizes for participating (this also works during early morning session of the last day of a big conference... Highest rated session lol);
3) depending on size (like less than 50) give them things I wouldn't necessarily give to a captive huge group, like templates, checklists, etc.
4) make damn sure my content is exciting. This means making especially not boring slides. Give them a progress bar at the bottom.
5) be more conversational, especially if it's less than 50.

Anyway, my few cents ;)
Economic "violence" isn't real violence. You're just making things up and trying to derail the conversation.
You might be aware that in Google not every application team works together with the security teams. They are supposed to work with them. That is the best practice and that helps with security compliance and review. They often do. But it is also sometimes easy to forget doing so if the team is not doing their due diligence.

It is possible that this team did not work with the security team even if it is a highly unlikely scenario. The likely scenario is that this team did work with a security team and they were aware they were supposed to hash the passwords but they made a mistake during the implementation.

I think what is being underappreciated here is that very very smart application developers can have little to no idea about security best practices. I can say this confidently from my direct experience of working with Googlers.
I had to wait three months for Lenovo to replace my X1 Extreme's motherboard because switching to discreet graphics to install Linux bricked it.
Have you ever considered what a VR programming language could look like? A language doesn't have to be black and white text. C and Bash don't have to directly overlap if technology creates simple syntax that expands beyond how keyboards type.
While I get and agree with your point, coming from the bottom of the socioeconomic spectrum you reference I must say, our roads in the Bay Area are seriously broken. Dangerous for motorcyclists and drivers the same.

I had moved away for a couple years and when I came back they were a mess.

Yes, we could put more money other places, but the roads would be a decent place to put some money to have a lasting impact.

Better public transit with expanded routes would be pretty nice too. It still blows me away that some higher city public officials make a quarter million or more.

They're suppose to be public servants yet they forget what it's like to live on the lower rungs.
