A lot of its NSFW so I won't try to access any of it here, but:
- drug addicts attempting to eat themselves, trash, or feces
- drug addicts prostituting themselves for a hit
- drug addicts randomly attacking passers by, just case
- drug addicts getting hit by cars after randomly running into the street
- drug addicts with leprosy, full-body scabs, necrotic flesh, exposed bone.

And that was just after volunteering for a week. A co-worker worked with AmeriCorps for a year in Skid Row and during that time, one of the social workers she worked with lost their leg to gangrene after getting an infection on Skid Row from a stray needle. A coworker of hers was beaten into a coma by a drug addict they were trying to help.

Great counter-argument.
Probably, I work for a tech company, pretty tricky to get that to those positions without a PhD though. Not 100% sure how I'd get a PhD while working full time; after emailing dozens of professors in the NYC area about this, none of them got back to me about that.

Anyway, my point in the previous post though, and I realize that I didn't express this terribly clearly, was that it's a bit upsetting that people who work really hard and dedicate themselves enough to become a professor end up making a pretty pathetic amount of money in proportion to their effort.

Wouldn't good targeting solve this problem, for Podcasters at least? When you record a podcast, you know what type of audience you are talking to, and based on that, you can target them via social channels.

The Level 1/2 distinction is almost purely marketing, especially with hardware level virtualization abilities like VT-x and VT-d. In no meaningful way does the fact that Hyper-V is somehow a "level 1" hypervisor make it better at being a virtual machine host.
I think GP is using "role" to mean the collection of tasks/functions performed by a person rather than their job title. As far as I can tell, duties and incentives don't change as much when going from associate to full professor as when going from assistant to associate.

My thought was that it would be an excellent, low knowledge way of figuring that out. For example, if it said type "qwerty" and it came through as "azerty", that would get you 95% of the way to having a fully functional keyboard. Mapping out the requisite keys needed to fully identify the keys could probably be done with a fairly short number of key presses for 99+% of likely keyboards.

For this case, I am assuming that the keyboard and os language are fairly compatible, at least translatable.

You can see some behavior differences compared to modern spreadsheets, notably: there's no operator precedence in VisiCalc. 1 + 2 * 3 = 9 (instead of 7), because this imitated the behavior of simple calculators. Bricklin realized VisiCalc was competing against people with paper and calculators, and anything that made it harder or slower than that would hurt adoption.

Ok, so are you saying that there should be no student loans on humanities degrees? Because that's the logical conclusion of what you're saying here.

Would it make sense for the government to make a list of fields where they do back up student loans (which would probably be mostly STEM fields)?

I think there is something to be said that you shouldn't be a hypocrite if you speak out publicly about something. For example it really bothers me when people like the U2 singer talk about climate change while flying around in private jets. Or people that glorify/use the military while not having served themselves or anybody in their family.

If you preach something you should make the same sacrifices you ask others for.

The claim that "an object is a set of functions that operate on implied data elements" has a strange corollary because of how in modern OO languages like Java or C#, there is no syntax or popular naming convention to tell the difference between a data structure and an Object. For example, in Java, a LinkedList object is actually not a linked list, it is a set of functions that operate on an implied linked list. If the system needed direct access to the data for whatever reason, we'd need to explicitly have a LinkedList data structure object that only contained the data (the values and their pointers), as well as a second class, the LinkedListOperator, that contains all the functions (add, first, etc.). Likewise, in the author's examples, there'd be a Square class and a SquareOperator class.

I was going to say that Haskell addresses this by putting values in data types and behaviors in "type classes", but then I remembered that functions can be values... which is now making me think that the reality is probably more abstract or complex than the author here is letting on.
Yes, also in Germany they use reusable plastic bottles. But the companies in other states argue that it is hard to introduce the system. It would definitely be easier to use just glass bottles.
It makes prefect sense: the whole automotive industry has a terrible track record for ui/ux in the non-driving parts of the cars because they don't care about it enough to put the effort in.

So they outsource to Apple and Google that made a, frankly, even with touchscreens, better system then what car manifacturers would have ever produced.

Now the problem is that Apple and Google had a hammer and treated the problem like it was a nail when it was not...
I’m been, unsuccessfully, trying to do the same so I can scale back my work commitments and refocus on some personal/academic goals. Job boards and recruiting doesn’t seem to be helpful in this regard; you’ll get plenty of bits but part time turns everyone off. I’ve spoken to some of my colleagues and they think the best bet is establishing yourself as a contractor. This however has quite a bit of associated legwork and I’m not sure how that will fly with your work requirements.

As a more general question to HN, what’s with all the apprehension to part time work in tech? I remember a time where everyone loved the idea. Or maybe I was more fortunate than I realized.
It's advertising. There's tons of money to be made. Maybe your data is not worth a lot alone, but viewing data of the entire TV watching population would be huge.

If you don't think there's money to be made in collecting and selling people's data how do you explain facebook and Google?

Last year my teenage daughter decided to trip over the cord of a perfectly good TCL television, ruining it, so we ended up buying a Samsung TV. It has a slightly bigger screen and sturdier legs that wouldn't trip over so easily, but man, it's an exercise in software disaster.

Simply starting Youtube is an exercise in frustration with six or seven arrow keys, and it comes with a dozen built-in advertisement channels that will start auto-playing when powered on. After I finally got fed up, I looked up how to disable them, and turns out I have to click each channel individually to disable them. Also, I don't know if it's the fault of Samsung, Youtube app, or my phone (made by Samsung, haha), but trying to cast a Youtube video from my phone is a total shitfest - sometimes it takes a minute and the streaming still doesn't start. (Come on, you guys are sitting next to each other!)

It's sad to see such a great brand being ruined for shitty software, but I've had enough. My next TV won't be Samsung. Maybe it will have a slightly smaller viewing angle, but who cares.
>Sure you can prevent one party changing the data in the DB but the decentralized model seems to carry a lot more risk.

Lets say you have 7 permissioned nodes that are running a BFT protocol to establish a shared DB. I'd be interested to hear why?
Not to advocate risky behavior, but this doesn't surprise me at all. Experience increases the perception of safety at a rate faster than actual safety. Every place I've worked where you could put yourself, expensive equipment or customer satisfaction in danger to make something easier for yourself people would do it. Deploying straight to prod, doing surgery on live databases, soldering on equipment plugged into mains, servicing a UPS without disconnecting 48V worth of lead acid batteries (that was one HELL of an arc weld).

The corners people will cut never cease to amaze me.

Yep. That.

Every time I read something about the cost of having kids I'm looking for some idea of where these people live.

The single largest expense for kids is day care and that's only necessary if you have 2 working parents...and if one of those parents income doesn't more than justify the cost of daycare it's usually a better idea to have a stay at home.

People seriously take for granted the financial value that a stay at home parent brings to a home in overall cost savings. Expenses go up based on lack of time, more so than anything else. It affects your shopping, cooking, home maintenance, yard maintenance, eating out, fuel costs and long term child care costs (after school activities, day care, summer day camps, etc) that you have to worry about when you keep needing to free up time so that you can get to work.

And all of those expenses are higher in densely populate areas where there's more demand for all of the "good" activities.

But it often comes down to a matter of pride to have a stay at home parent.
Arguably, a significant percentage of skid row’s residents wouldn’t be there if they had the option of buying a clean, consistent dose from a pharmacy. Instead, they have to buy dangerously tainted drugs from professional criminals, and pay hugely inflated prices for it.

This isn't even remotely true. There are plenty of homeless people in Skid Row that are there even though their drug of choice is alcohol, available cheap from the nearest liquor store, grocery, etc.

I've read Chasing the Scream and it's not a useful viewpoint on this subject.

> Still concerned about Ms. Warren’s condition, Simon then spoke to Dr. Jan Baldwin, her “collaborating physician” at the Essentia clinic. Amazingly, Baldwin, who also did not examine Warren, agreed with Dinter – Warren was suffering from out-of-control diabetes. (Neither court opinion indicates whether Warren had been previously diagnosed with diabetes.) At that point, Simon relented.

Based on my reading of that block from the article, she did get a second opinion. Once you've got two more credentialed professionals agreeing on something, it's a lot harder to justify going against their opinion.

It's such a shame that the state can't support the education system financially, so that 20-year old people wouldn't have to take loans to study. It works in other countries, so why not in the US?
one thing I noticed recently, 4k monitors which do not contain any "smart" features often cost much more than a much larger 4k tv. I suspect all the built in crap that the TVs ship with at least partially account for this price difference.
Maybe, but having an electronic system on an airliner that can't be disabled could potentially lead to a fire that can't be extinguished and that's why you can shut down every system as the pilot.
It's a problem for sure but education costs have been high-inflation for a long time. See here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7866194
I sometimes wonder if the spreadsheet (or really the modern office suite with word processor, spreadsheet, and presentation maker) form was more or less inevitable given how desktop/laptop functionality evolved. And how much they influenced each other.

Obviously, these aren't the only programs that people use but individual bells and whistles aside, all the products in this space looked more alike than different by the early- to mid-80s. Even the advent of Windows didn't really change the basic model all that much.
Where do you draw the line between individual responsibility and what businesses should shoulder as far as above and beyond safety measures?

I don't necessarily have an answer, but saying scooter companies are responsible for someone's death in the same comment as you mention an illegal uturn seems contradictory to me.
Two parts to the story..

>However, rather than send Warren straight to the ER of the Fairview Range Medical Center, Simon called the hospital “to seek Warren’s admission.” (p. 3) Simon’s call was routed to Dr. Richard Dinter, one of three hospitalists on call that day. --> Why call when you know something is off?

After hearing Simon’s summary of Warren’s symptoms, Dr. Dinter declared her symptoms were due to “a diabetes that’s out of control” (as the Court of Appeals put it) and recommended that Simon send her home with some diabetes medication, and schedule a follow-up visit for next Monday, three days later --> Do this and get sued every time. The basic thing for a doctor to do is to check whats wrong with the patient and 9 out of 10 times, you need the patient in place to examine and declare..

Even the stock-market has a bid-ask spread.

A perfectly efficient market will push the bids higher and the asks lower. Stocks for example only have a spread of a couple of pennies.

As the markets get less and less efficient, you become more reliant on middle-men to perform transactions. In the dark ages, people would pay 1-pound of gold for 1-pound of salt. In the case of modern society: bonds (and other derivatives) are less efficient to trade and therefore have higher bid/ask spreads than stocks.

Go away from financial instruments, and a 30% spread on bid/ask is actually reasonable. Play Magic: The Gathering? Buying/selling used video games? You're going to pay a pretty large spread.

------------

"Fair Market Value" is an estimation of the bid/ask spread. There really are two fair prices: the value the buyer is willing to pay, and the value the seller is willing to sell at. These two numbers are all that matters.

By definition, these two prices are fair. Because if they weren't fair, then the buyer (and seller) would reject the deal and the trade will fail.

the existence of `List` implies that e.g. `sort` exists?

The existence of List implies that operations must exist to insert an element in a list, access to elements in a list, find out the size of the list, etc.

It can proxy and cache them.

There is a hacky way to serve single page static files directly via haproxy, by creating a http file (including headers) and add it to a custom back-end. This is really only useful if you have one or two pages you need to serve and don't want to run another web server. Some people use this for outage or maintenance pages.

acl landing path_beg /demo
use_backend landing if landing

backend landing
mode http
fullconn 10000
errorfile 503 /opt/ha/landing_page.http
http-request set-log-level silent

# cat landing_page.http

HTTP/1.1 200 Ok
Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/plain

This is a static text file served directly from HAproxy 1.9

I will catch grief for showing this.

Then use acl's to send specific requests to that page. Obviously change/add headers as required for the content in the file and use-case. Perhaps useful for outage or maintenance pages. Use your imagination for other use cases where you might want to automatically serve such a page.

Absolutely not. You cannot be forced to testify against yourself and you cannot be held in contempt for refusing to do so.

If you are testifying against someone else there are instances in which you can be compelled. Even then you can't be compelled to testify about anything that would implicate you in a crime.

I only noticed at the end, but it appears the author is only 18, which makes this even more impressive.
I think a lot of people tie a certain emotional value / weight / bias / power dynamic / etc to the word censor instead of using it in the cold (valid) way you are here. In other words, a forum that bans speech of type X is setting rules and a government that bans speech of type X is censoring, when truly, both are the same action (censorship) but in completely different contexts.

That might account for why it seems many people on this thread are talking past each other. I don't even think, as you imply, that the person you are replying to is purposely using misleading tactics to avoid admission.

I feel like there's this avoidance of using the word censorship because people think it implies something they don't want to imply about their principles. I could be wrong, but this is just something I've seen play out again and again in discussions about this topic.

For instance, my belief that it is fine and in-fact desirable that private forums censor particular topics, behaviors, etc doesn't necessarily mean that on-principle I am across-the-board "pro-censorship" (whatever that means).

So yes, a group is being censored from a private forum and decided to create their own private forum. I still don't see a problem with that, or "admitting" that is what is happening.
