Well obviously, as societal utility is the aggregate of individual utility. The point was about the parts of the utility (or disutility) equations that are hidden from individuals.
But, that's what those people are commonly called; "karma whores". It's not like the writers of the article are trying to insult them. They're just using the name that everyone uses for them.
Vim is an editing language of actions, contexts, and count, with registers, trees, and buffers. The basic elements are pretty simple but in combination give tremendous power:

I believe that this is a common trope in medical dramas. While I'm unaware of how often it is actually done, I know that I have seen it done in multiple episodes of House, or ER, etc, etc.
With the ways we’ve seen other systems work, I’d almost expect to be placed automatically on some kind of list that would get you a stonewall response from most doctors you visit for the rest of your life. In fact, there are such databases; here is an article about one in MS: https://www.sunherald.com/news/local/crime/article62959432.h...

I’m sure there will be/are places where these databases are run by private companies with no accountability and no way to issue a complaint.
Regardless of the point of the article, there is still plenty of opportunity to build something small and focused. I see it everyday
I've had a long time interest in gaming, getting into computers due to it like I imagine many of you guys did. I also do have a fair amount of interest in esports, having been involved in a competitive scene half a decade ago and having watched a good number of esport tournament. However, it seems that the recent surge in esports is insanity. My main concern is how it is viewed by many, especially children, to be an easy and profitable career path. With survivorship bias we "gamers" regularly see individuals who just spent more time gaming winding up making millions every year, and that is a highly appealing dream. At least with the traditional far fetched dream of being a pro soccer player significant work had to be put into training, but that really isn't needed for gaming as gaming was designed to be fun and addictive from start to finish.
Yeah they still have a little over 3 million DVD by mail customers. But, I’m not overly price sensitive. I’ll just rent a movie most of the time. It got to the point where I’m too lazy to use But torrent even thousands though I do have a Plex server running.
The short answer is, we created it. The half-life of Uranium 235 is 700 million years, so there's plenty of it around. When you bring a bunch of U235 together and cause it to undergo fission, it creates a bunch of the shorter-lived stuff as a decay product. Especially when a reactor melts down; you get a lot more of the stuff you didn't want, in a much more uncontrolled manner.
I really appreciate these kinds of things because I think they help fields move forward in some cases.

I wonder if there is any sort of oversight of the process to ensure that the determination made as to whether to approve or deny is not arbitrary.

While I will grudgingly hand over my social media details, and I have no fear of being linked to terrorism or calls for violence or anything of the sort, I am worried that my anti-Trump posts (I'm an avid follower of American politics despite not being American) and other posts condemning Republican party politics will hurt my chances. Again, I've never called for any violence against the man, but have indeed called him a moron more than a few occasions.
Well... trying to hack it.

Keep on centralizing the internet with your stupid clouds and this is what happens.
From your linked article, the reason people spend a greater percentage of their incomes on food is not because of the cost of food, but that their incomes are much lower:

> The figures do not mean that food is more expensive in Nigeria than in the US. In fact, quite the reverse. The average American spends $2,392 per year on food, the average Nigerian half that: $1,132. The average Kenyan spends just $543 a year on food.

There are many benefits of Africa having the infrastructure/skills/industry to produce food in a more scalable way, but % of income is possibly not the metric to measure by.

I love seeing a return to the house-by-mail-order from the old Sears catalog days. Quick reminder, though, that a house’s shell is not the expensive part. It’s usually the land (assuming you want to put the house somewhere nice) and all the things that go into the house (appliances, cabinets, flooring, etc.) that make it expensive.
The way that is written, it really sounds misleading to me.

Dota2's $25+ million prize pools are virtually entitely crowdfunded from the fans. Yesterday, a commonplace tournament wrapped up giving the winners $300K and a new Mercedes.

The article mentions Esports viewership is about to surpass pro sports, yet pro sports have massive government funding and support from elementary school up through stadium construction. They are further entrenched in monopolistic competition through cable TV and regulatory laws. So then is esports really the artificial bubble industry, and not pro sports?

Further, Esports has been linked with positive externalities such as cognitive benefits--high IQ development--while some of the pro sports are literally the opposite, being linked with CTE and other neurological destruction. Shouldn't public funding change, then?
I thought the idea was that if it's found out later that you are a member of a terrorist organization you can be kicked out, even if you haven't yet done anything explicitly illegal, because you lied on the Visa application.
Yeah even if the unmanned drones are too hard, having spare tanks at the work site sounds like an easy way to at least supply oxygen... however without the umbilical cord he loses the heat supply. Maybe its more pleasant to pass out while your body freezes.

> but I know people who've taken pay-cuts an order of magnitude larger than bootstrap costs to get 1% of a company that ultimately failed.

Starting a company can easily be a 70-100% paycut.

If someone took a paycut that large for 1% of a company that was just a terrible and I don't think representative decision of a first employee.

That is a very interesting read. Totally different than people here are painting the situation.
I don't know if they still have it, but there used to be a similar question about communism, and all you had to say was "yes, but everyone had to".
Forom a technical standpoint it's of course unideal, but from a governance standpoint there's a lot to be gained. The browser is a critical piece of infrastructure and handing a monopoly to one company is essentially sleeping at the wheel. As long as there's significant economic value in providing the platform, competition is in the public interest.
His role in the Spanish civil war sounds like a model for the protagonist of Hemingway's "For whom the Bell tolls".
Does Google also have some sort of listing on which consumer apps are particularly affected (i.e. Gmail, Hangouts, Docs, Sheets, etc).

The cloud components may be directly affected but for consumers, there's nothing which will provide info on what consumer facing services are getting some issues.
The article ends up burying several important ledes: that whole companies are built around inflating livestream viewership numbers, and that popular streamers are threatening to slowly gut the competitive esports scene. For the latter, note the perverse incentives: Twitch streamers famously lose so many subscribers to even a day away from their stream (or, heaven forbid, a whole weekend) that the amount of money needed to entice them to spend days at a time traveling to attend tournaments leads to either ludicrous and unsustainable prize pots or a competitive scene where, ironically, all the best players decide not to compete because they would lose money by doing so (especially ironic considering that they likely became popular by competing in the first place).
When the malicious hackers take up lisp... THEN we'll really have something serious to worry about. ;)

> The problem is fairly simple. The actual output of society is produced by a relatively small minority of skilled individuals that are not easily replicable (ie fungibility is largely a myth).

This is an HN conceit that’s not actually true. Take something like health care. It takes a large number of individuals to produce health care services, and technology hasn’t really reduced that amount. The other day, I needed to schedule an appointment for my son, to follow up about his ear infection. I called the nice lady at reception who set everything up. I could’ve used an app, but that’s like saying you don’t need chefs because you could just eat grass. You can, but you don’t want to. Likewise, dealing with a computer to do something like this is an exercise in self abuse. And computers haven’t gotten any better at interacting with a human at the human’s level in decades. (On that front, I think self check out machines are similar. There is a reason Whole Foods mostly has regular cashiers. It’s because computers haven’t automated away the cashiers job, they just make it possible for customers to save a few cents by doing the job themselves.)

Likewise with pretty much everything else. In the legal field, secretaries have universally been downsized to cut costs. The result is just reduces efficiency, where $700/hour lawyers waste their time doing something a secretary should be doing. (Computers have done precious little to actually eliminate any of that work.)
Yes. 100%. We don’t pay AWS much but their help is top notch. We accidentally bought physical instances instead of reserved instances. AWS resolved the issue and credited us. I’ll prob never touch GCE. Google just isn’t a good company at any level.
Video games and sports leagues should focus on getting leagues where everyone can participate, not the select few who burn away 10s of hours a day no-lifing the stuff. Such people are one-dimensional, uninteresting, and crowd out the space for interesting people. Instead, cap the prize money and allow all teams in your league under the same rules, a sort of massive Pro/Am league.

This might sound too radical but League of Legends already does this with their ladder system: everyone who plays the game is ranked somewhere on the gigantic ladder and, if you're good enough, you can play against the pros if you get ranked up there. The NBA could do it too instead of attracting only 8 foot freaks of nature and guys who have been playing professionally since age 8. Fans would have a tangible reason to want to watch other than that the pros are pretty good.

I dunno. The NBA also makes oodles of money and they'd hate my system too so w/e.
The petroleum jelly I know of is fairly opaque. Is there any other?

If not, even with a thin layer, I doubt the result will give you a readable display, as, judging from the red color of the display in the end result, there’s air between the glass and the LCD display in these watches.
Is this actually a significant source of rare earth elements? My understanding is that they’re rare compared with things like carbon, nitrogen, etc. Cerium, one of the rare earths, is apparently more common than copper, even.

Seems like extracting them from spent nuclear fuel would be much less economic than just grinding them out of rocks, but IANANE.

AWS is registered for Australian GST - they therefore charge GST on all(ish) services[0].

IBM/Softlayer, Rackspace, Google Cloud, Microsoft and I imagine everyone else large enough to count also does, too.

For Australian businesses, at least, being charged GST isn't a problem - they can claim it as an input and get a tax credit[1].

I'm a bit sceptical here. As it happens, my partner was taking Effexor (a branded formulation of venlafaxine) and was switched to the generic Enlafax. She complained to me that she was feeling a little bit worse starting around this point, and when patient groups started sharing stories of many people who began feeling worse following the switch (which is what led, eventually, to the media coverage), she requested switching back to Effexor (which required paying out of pocket, as it's no longer covered), resumed taking it, and started feeling better.

She will no doubt be part of the statistics that paper is using to suggest a nocebo effect, as she only complained publicly after the media coverage started, but she has notes showing she had noticed the effect prior to seeing anyone else complain about the generic formulation.

To be clear: her experience is absolutely not proof that Enlafax is in any way inferior or different than Effexor (for my partner specifically, or for people in general)! It's very possible her entire experience was a nocebo effect (triggered, perhaps, by the Enlafax packaging or something) followed by a placebo effect when she switched back to the branded drug. However, it could equally have been caused by Enlafax being actively inferior for her.

What I think is fairly clear from my partners experience, however, is that the study is not correctly designed to reject the null hypothesis here. It's assuming that the people who publicly complained about Effexor after the media coverage were fine with it until the media coverage, whereas it's just as plausible that they simply didn't publicly complain until they realised other people were also having an issue.

Ultimately, any study here that's not a proper double blind test is going to struggle pretty hard here, and I think this is no exception.

One could argue that the bottom of the ocean is the lowest point on the ocean floor.
Look at it this way: if the percentage income spent on food dropped from 60% to, say 20%, that would effectively double their remaining income! I don't see how that could not affect a local economy, regardless of the absolute scale.
Sam Altman has written about a US Digital Currency (http://blog.samaltman.com/us-digital-currency), and considers the idea that it's issued as a "second" legal tender. This IMF article also considers the idea of a "second" currency, but for other practical reasons (negative rates). I think it's actually somewhat inevitable that this happens. Whether or not it would have any cryptographic properties is up for debate, but there is certainly exists enough existing experimentation in this area for the Fed to study such an approach.

No, you are not the only one.

Maybe one day I'll start downloading too thought, but usually I don't care and don't have time for movies anyway.
File descriptors and Windows handles are pretty much the same concept. Just that the former is an int, and the latter is packed into a pointer typedef. Your WaitForMultipleObjects example is not radically different from the poll family of syscalls. (Although there aren't named mutex file descriptors and the like... But Linux has some concepts that remind me of Win32 handle types, such as eventfd(2)).

The polar station in Antartica is also quite inaccessible during winter. Winter-overs are proud of the fact that they are more remote than the ISS.

Neetbux Nation 2020
Absolutely. My long-term partner was in this exact situation: She did experience some fairly mild side-effects, complained about them to me, but didn't consider that the medication switch might be the cause until she saw others complaining, checked, and realised the symptoms had begun at the time she'd changed meds. She had simply assumed that she wouldn't have been switched to the generic if it wasn't identical, and thus initially assumed that any symptoms she was experiencing must be caused by something else; the exact opposite of what the study claimed, despite the fact that she will have been counted in that study as evidence of a nocebo effect.

In eras of low unemployment, yes, America can take in highly skilled migrants.

But in almost all eras (low and high employment) the import of unskilled workers into the US is probably bad. There are already tons of workers on the black market causing pricing weirdness and downward pressure on wages.

I think it's a primary driver of inequality. Recent interview on FT with direct of the Fed indicated for the first time in a long time, US companies are starting to actually 'train people', i.e. they will do this if necessary.

Some jobs Americans will do with the right wages and conditions. For those jobs Americans truly will not do - put them in other, cheaper countries, and let the surpluses go to those areas and villages, helping those people. It's much more fair that way, and more 'good' is created overall.
