I am a former Yelp engineer who worked on the review filter and had full access to Production. There is nothing in the code or infrastructure that allows sales to filter reviews. End of story. Any other position is for your own entertainment.

Users can and will be creative on the site. Making fake accounts in order to mislead others is not a creative practice that aligns well with typical users of Yelp.

That's because if you run critical services like a generic for-profit business you almost automatically exploit everyone who is in it for more ethical or intrinsically motivated reasons.

There is a big disconnect between why you'd do the doctoring and hospital-running vs. the admin side of things. Once a business has a certain size it all becomes the same: bottom line, marginalisation, and bubbles of speculation under the name of financial management. The issue with doing that to healthcare is that you have to recoup your business failures in a way that is incompatible with saving lives; i.e. you have to make things more expensive to get your money but since for the people at the bottom of the chain that means having someone die vs. live they will not really be give a choice; choosing between getting healthy (but paying a butload of money) and getting dead (so you don't have to pay) is basically extortion.

A lot of excuses are made that 'you pay for what you get' meaning the quality is super high and thus expensive, or that the cost is very high, and that has to be calculated in to the prices, or that the business side is very hard and complex and can only be done that way; but unless they have unicorns and rainbows we don't know about those excuses are just that: excuses. The cost is high, and the quality doesn't match it - almost all healthcare systems in other developed countries is both higher quality and cheaper at the same time as well as having lower mortality rates.

Exploiting people that are intrinsically motivated to help people who put their lives their hands is just another sign of the administrative side of this deal completely doing it wrong.

The same people, buildings, services, machines, procedures in a different country with a better end-result and lower mortality rate should be enough proof.

And yet, if you look a the twitter thread I pointed out, it turns out that in a large biobank of 500,000 people, their aspiration is refuted: if you fail to account for treatment effects, the association results will be inverted.
According to this survey, 68.1% of people's main reason for going vegan was "for the animals" while "health" was only 17.4%.

https://vomadlife.com/blogs/news/why-people-go-vegan-2019-gl...

That being said, the question was "What is the main reason" so people who said "for the animals" might also care a lot about health.

Please, no. My experience with the scons build cache is that it exists solely to introduce mysterious compile failures when the cache is out of sync. Eventually you get so distrustful of it that you end up just blowing away the cache as a matter of course.

I happen to be vacationing in Dallas right now. Local costs for self pay CT is $235 on the first Google result. One big problem seems to be hospitals don't compete on price the way other providers do. So if you are hurt bad enough that you are kinda stuck in a hospital unable to shop around you get double screwed.
I do not care who you are. Your comments on this thread made it crystal clear that you are not familiar with the subject matter: for you distributed has a very narrow meaning of a sharded key-value store, you've succeeded in making that clear. "Cloud", except that's not it.

And whether you "flagged" my comment or not, that's irrelevant to me.

That's not what I said, though. There are plenty of reliable biomarkers. They consistently relate with disease in an expected way across populations. They just aren't, individually, powerful. They don't do a great job discriminating who will get disease and who won't - but using them is still much better than not using them.

The Zagat Curator Program
If someone wants fixed, known deliverables, the last thing they should be looking at is proprietary software, where a seemingly stable product suddenly updates and everything is different and the license changes retroactively, e.g Photoshop. Version controlled, open source means you can check out any version you might need, at any time, now and forever. Seems worth throwing some money at such a promise.

FC Matrix with Perl 6 – Arne Sommer
They left the car unlocked in the same sense that your home is unlocked. With the right tools, it’ll take me 5 minutes to gain entry. I could then claim that it’s your own fault I gained entry because you don’t have a metal enforced door, steel bars across windows, and a lock that can’t be easily or Hardily picked...

Yes, someone technically minded with the right tools and access can break in. But that’s less than 5% of the population, very similar to the percentage who could easily pick even a complicated lock, but Of cause near 90% will be able to take an ax to a door or kick in a window.
I think it's more that hetzner and ovh are great until you want to go outside of europe. Hetzner is only in europe. Ovh has one datacenter in America, one in canada, one in australia, and one in singapore. It may work great for europe, but most of the world's population is elsewhere. If trying to build a global service, the cost of making your service scale properly across different providers is often too high.

Funny how the article doesn't say what the cracks mean, but it does end with a bunch of reasons why a safety rule has to be waived:

- jobs

- energy supply

why is it that when a safety limit has been established and later on reached, that (seemingly) uninformed people start walling by screaming 'but the jobs' and 'but the power'. None of those should be more important than a reactor problem you'd think.

On the other hand, if there is inside information describing the impact of such cracks as irrelevant to safety and operation, then it would be fine (but then you wouldn't have to cry for jobs and energy).

Jobs should not be a reason to not take into account safety or evolution. As soon as you do that, everything stagnates.
>...could be used for medical treatment by motivating earlier intervention...

and

>...could include stronger recommendations for better diet and exercise, closer monitoring programs, or more precise prescriptions...

and

>...could reduce disease burden...

This is where the problem delineates for me: We're being massively assumptive in moving from "could" to "is" and "will".

I will, generally, concede the could portion but to assert that it is emphatically happening or going to happen is still far from fruition and to label this science as such, just yet, is overreaching and giving false hope where none should really be given because, then, you'll taint it's benefits with the drawbacks.

Remember: Anonymised data (e.g.: 23andme) only allows a survey of what's relatively known or can be inferred from the anonymised dataset.

To arrive at what you're suggesting, it would have to move into a different realm (I believe), like UK BioBank or GEDMatch but, even then, we're still basing things on speculative science - gambles of percentages that aren't, emphatically, true or false but a kind of "maybe, kind of, sort of, in a way, definitely could or defintely could not" muddied waters.

That, to me, is a far stretch from saying that the data in 23andme is - actually - helping medicine; which I believe is what the OC I replied to emphatically said.

Its not intrinsically the administration, it's capitalism. The administration in these cases just happen to represent the owners, who's goal is to increase profits at all costs. Imagine how hospitals would be if they were owned by the doctors and nurses instead?
A lot of people dislike talking while watching TV together.

FWIW, Xbox used to have this feature back in 2009-10. You could synchronize a video with up to 4 friends and watch Netflix or movies/tv from the Zune store with them over party chat in a virtual theater. The screen could be full screen or you could zoom out a bit and make your avatars emote while watching.

They discontinued the feature after a couple years saying it wasn’t very used.

I'd agree with this suggestion, especially if you're willing to put in a bit of legwork to start and learn some of the basics of org-mode.

To me though, one of the killer features of org-mode (compared to some of the other, SaaS product offerings) is that under the hood it's /just/ a plain-text file. You know (unlike the SaaS stuff) it'll be around for 30+ years. To me, it's incredibly valuable when building my own personal information repo/db to know it'll be around as long as I am. Not contingent on a company to remain around or profitable to keep access to my data.
There is a lot of complaining in health care but there are a lot of people making very good money and the overall system is way too expensive. The whole system is ripe for an overhaul but I bet they will fight any reform tooth and nail because there is much money to be made with the current system.
Living in the country side is supposed to be expensive, but for the past 40 years or so all of the population centers of America have been subsidizing rural life. My parents live 30 miles inland in Florida and recently wanted their 5 mile dirt road paved, total cost would have been north of $2,000,000... Even if that was split among everyone living there you are looking at $133,000.

Things don't get better once you consider their power lines, at $285,000 per mile you are looking at $95,000 just to run power to their home and all adjacent homes.

Then add in water + sewage, at $25.18 per foot, lets say to all the same houses getting power, that is an additional $86,619.

You also probably want modern internet connectivity (cable, fiber) you are looking at another $10,000 per household.

Assuming there is 5% maintenance per year for all this infrastructure, that is $16,230.95 a year.

Meanwhile in a city, the amount each individual is paying is a tiny fraction, probably less than 0.01%. Sure a urban home is probably more expensive, but given that a rural home should incur a near $400,000 premium, you shouldn't have been able to afford that rural home to begin with.

America stands to save hundreds of billions if we actually force the cost of living in rural areas to be what it is, rather than subsidize it.
These 'every programmer should know' things should stop -- surely a web developer isn't supposed to know latency figures (or 114 pages about the details of RAM, see [1]). Likewise, most programmers don't care about AWS costs.

For residential, there’s some adverse incentives at play. If I borrow from someone and give them equity, my incentive to improve (or even maintain) the property is dramatically curtailed.

Conversely, if we try to alleviate that, maybe a lender ends up on the hook for a call for their 10% of my $500K addition to maintain their pro-rata. That ends up subsidizing remodels which tend to pay back less than $1 for $1.

But you can mitigate that over time, for example with "smart" farming systems and managed use of land as usage stabilizes. You can't mitigate it in the meat industry.
This doesn't seem to hold up to scrutiny. Are you saying it's worse to double your salary but sacrifice a pension? How many years do people spend in the workforce? Usually 25 at least often 30 or more (say you start work at 21 and retire at 55, that would be 34 years). Life expectancy at 60 is around 25 years [1], actually 23 for USA, so people would be collecting pension about the same 30 years as they spent working. So unless your pension is equal to your salary, then doubling your salary is the better choice. Actually it's much better than that, because this money can be invested and you'll be gaining decades of interest on these savings.

And that doesn't even scratch the fact that pensions are subject to political changes and tax cuts. That pension could go away if politicians decide it's too expensive to pay out.

The NHS nurse is also paying health insurance and pension contributions! An online calculator shows they’d pay a national insurance contribution of 2,500 pounds and a pension contribution of 2,700 pounds.

Also, nurses don’t pay $1,000 per month in insurance premiums in the US. 57% of Americans have employer provided insurance, and employers cover on average 82% of premiums. A single US nurse likely would pay less in out of pocket premiums than the UK nurse’s national insurance contribution would be.

That’s why the US health situation persists. Most voters (who skew higher-income, older, and more established) don’t see the real cost of health insurance premiums because they’re an employer-provided benefit.
Well what I guess I mean is, I wish CMake were an API. That way I could use the language of my choice to drive CMake instead of using its quirky/esoteric language.

Ninja is indeed a build system backend but it's too low level. I want a intermediate to high level backend that abstracts common things I want to do.
>Because doing infrastructure well

Building infrastructure well means telling people no. We have a problem with that in the US.

No. You cannot build in the floodplain.

No. You cannot build in the wildland urban interface.

No. You cannot build on a mudslide prone slope.

No. You cannot build in the surge zone.

We just don't do that. Instead we have a system where elect people to give us what we want without paying for the long term consequences. Simply put, we can't fix California, we don't have the money to. People in at risk areas need to be charged for the expense they add to the system, no new customers need added to the system.

If you wonder why the US doesn't build densely, it's because we don't pay for the true cost of our sprawl.
I think there’s a lot of exaggeration in the comments about SCONS being slow. We use it for a 300K LOC codebase, and while it is not as fast as cmake, it’s still perfectly serviceable. To be honest, for me the flexibility to do non-trivial customization of the build directly using Python code is well worth the somewhat slower performance. I always wonder what kind of build process people use if the overhead of the build system outweighs the compile time itself.
I agree; software people tend to think about business in terms of software. But if you're a production company then you should focus on your core competency and outsource software development. You generally don't have the in house expertise to manage software projects.

Conversely, if you're a software company and have media production needs, you generally don't in-house it — you focus on your core competency and outsource media production.

Software people tend not to question outsourcing when it's done by a software company outsourcing things outside their core competency.
I've never had luck with the unlimited / unmetered folks.

Let's say you spin up 10 instances with OVH at the cheapest level (ie, $200/month). That is supposed to give you dedicated 3Gbps in addition to compute / storage etc or around 1PB data per month + compute and storage.

This compares favorably to google standard egress at $60,000/month. But as soon as you build a business model around this - poof - rate limiting -> some TOS violation claim pops up.

"Oh, we meant unlimited or unmetered, but only if..."

Seriously, with unlimited / unmetered at $20 these would make the great bases of things like CDN networks, image / static asset hosts for big properties etc. But it generally turns out to be total BS.

In contrast - paying for bandwidth with AWS / Google etc -> no one has ever complained to me (though my current usage is minuscule in the distance past had high usage experience)

A comment that sounded sincere was deleted while I responded to it.

Quick answer: I mentioned a religious congregation because I thought it wasn't well-known in HN circles.

My intent was actually to use this as an opportunity to try to explain something I know about some complicated group. All of us fellow humans have so much misunderstanding between so many groups, contributing to conflict and disrespect, often for no good reason.

(For example, religious/cultural congregations aren't just about doctrine and dogma passed down from parents -- or often aren't even about that at all, for many people -- but are often things that people are in for reasons we can maybe appreciate and understand. Then we can address actual problems better, together.)

Relevant section of Debian upstream guide: https://wiki.debian.org/UpstreamGuide#SCons

As a Linux distribution maintainer, I second that. There are not that many packages that still use SCons, but ones that do often require boilerplate and/or patches to honor standard environment variables like CC, CFLAGS, LDFLAGS. Cross-compiling a SCons package is a nightmare.

If you like that SCons uses Python, I'd suggest to try Meson. It does everything right and exposes a subset of Python API: https://mesonbuild.com
Firebase has a "rules" feature where you set up security/authorization rules on your database:

There's a "development" mode you can enable on your database that simply ignores all of the rules. The college app either 1) has no/unsafe rules set up, or 2) left their Firebase database in development mode.
