So with true state provided healthcare:

The “price” is really just the unit cost. Companies seem to have no problem computing unit costs (and thus margins!), no gosplan-like apparatus is required for this beyond supply-chain management and accounting. The U.S. situation is complicated considerably by all the different parties involved which I guess is why this idea might work less well there.

Correspondingly I suppose the “true value” would be the value provided to the recipient of the procedure and society as a whole, and as you observe is much more subjective and probably best not even measured in dollars. I think “quality of life adjusted years” is a thing. The major problem is when the you and the state disagree on the value of a procedure and whether it justifies the costs...

Another way to look at it, “socialised medicine” is just health insurance collected by the state with full vertical integration; your insurer also runs the hospitals and provides the care. The upside is you’re covered, the downside is you don’t get to choose a plan.
The mild fluctuations of the Bitcoin price can look like a walk in the park compared to the Venezuelan local currency.
Patio11’s comment got me very curious and I’m not sure this quite explains it. If I’m selling millions of dollars worth of a tech stock, would IB give me a materially better price?
> Really, are you sure?

Pretty sure, and user adwn commented on it too. It's a pretty common pattern to not answer the question and then indicate it was a dumb question in the first place. Then he doubled down on the acceptable insults in the follow-on response.

I'm sure I'm oversensitive to crap like this, but I don't think I'm wrong to notice it.

I wonder if HN would ever add a feature to block/hide users others don't want to see, something per reader. I don't see a browser addon for it, and while I'm sure it could be done purely client-side, you might find stats about who is being blocked and how often interesting if it was done on the server. Heh, I'm sure I would end up on a few people's list, but it doesn't seem likely that we're all just going to get along anytime soon.

Anyways, thank you again for the polite reply.
EXACTLY! People seem to assume publicly listing prices would lead to a lower bill

The Future of Web Development
I think its primarily because Chris Lattner[0] is at Google now. I wonder even if they pull out this effort how much of that would still be maintained if Lattner changes jobs.

What's your point then? The point of the article is that the renewable share of the energy production budget is growing (and coal isn't), and the notable data point is that "for the first time ever, renewables surpass coal". That's the way news works. It wants a fact to hang the trend on. And both the fact and the trend are correctly reported.

The fact that this is a local maximum doesn't say anything about the shape of the function on either side.
I like your point, though if we're talking about the overall disease fighting system, it is the evolutionary oldest part that handles the initial inflammation, nasal drip, and fever. The later part, the adaptive part, the part actually works on the principle of immunity, gets going later, and once it has asserted itself, then you feel relief, at least in part because that primitive initial reaction begins to recede.
Agreed. It's insane the employer gets to dictate what doctors I get to see! How is that even reasonable and acceptable?

I have nerve damage from arthritis in my spine. Mine is definitely not correctable with current medical technology (degenerative discs, bone spurs and pinched nerves & spinal cord from the above). Most days, I'm resting at a 4-5 on a 1-10 pain scale. It can easily reach a 7-8 on bad days. When I go for allergy shots, I dont even notice the injections, typically.

Thing is, most pain meds dont even work. NSAIDs don't make a dent. Opiods dont work either (not that I could get a doc to prescribe them if they did). Muscle relaxers do help quite a bit in reducing the pinching of nerves. I recently did a 7 day trial on Celebrex, and after 3 days, I was in the least pain I'd been in for years (apparently it's one of those that builds over a few days). I see my PCP tomorrow and will hopefully get an ongoing prescription.

Ive been on Lyrica and gabopentin for the nerve pain in the past. While they helped with the nerve pain, I had a lot of side effects with both, and don't want to go back on either.

So there's a number of differences between burnout and depression (that I've noted in my personal experiences):

- Burnout has discrete reasons you can identify, whereas depression doesn't. Analysis paralysis occurs much more easily in depression because it permeates everything you do and everything you are. The fire is all around you. I've had to rebuild my sense of reality at times by trying to define what is true and what is not. Meditation is really helpful for this, because of the focus on your breathing and the here and now.

- You can still trust your mind during burnout, whereas in depression you cannot. The best analogy that comes to mind is something like Air France 447, where the plane crashes because the iced-over pitot tubes gave faulty readings to the pilot while navigating via IFR. Imagine that but planted in your brain, where your sense of self lives. Writing helps for me in this regard because you can play back what your mind is doing.

- You can become fully healed with burnout, whereas you can't ever get back to normal with depression. Depression is like alcoholism in that if/when you become sober again, one drink at any time afterwards can lead to a death spiral. You kind of have to be constantly on your guard, but not so much that life feels like a downer.
I think that's immaterial but you're right that you could dump the IR.

For the most part, C is a much easier language to program in than the IR. The IR is also very unstable: it changes from release to release.
That was going to be my next question: what kind of fund should the "cash" go into?
Only took me 2 weeks of working in a kitchen to figure that out! Still chose the wrong major for me (physics), but it opened enough doors to have a sw dev career.

What do you regret about the history degree? Job applicability or that it didn’t interest you enough to continue with it? The latter was my problem... I do wish I could have had two BAs, one in a blended-subject liberal arts...
You're right, my comment was a bit of a knee-jerk. A few things:

- You're absolutely right about specialist-aimed submissions on HN, it's a large part of the reason I keep coming back to HN, I should have thought about that a bit more. I think this post was a little too far into the very deep end of what haskell can do.

- Stoking curiosity about Haskell is a wanted/welcome result, and I think part of my annoyance was that this article was very unlikely to do that, in this context.

- I agree with the fact that deeply technical posts like this should be shared with a broader audience -- I didn't mean to imply that all posts shouldn't be shared, but the audience needs to be taken into account a little more. r/haskell is very different audience from HN.

While we're here, I'd love to get your opinion on polysemy -- it looks like the best thing since sliced bread for free(r) monads, the combination of the usability of freer-simple and the efficiency gains of fused-effects.

I've long secretly held the believe that mtl-style and free-monads were roughly equivalent in power and efficiency equality was only a matter of time, but I am really looking to the free approach because effect algebras seem to be a fantastic tool -- they compose more cleanly than mtl does.
It takes carbon that was not in the air and puts it into the air. The marginal decision to burn a bunch of wood or coal for a unit of energy produces roughly the same effect. It would be better to keep that carbon out of the atmosphere.

Especially when grown specifically, biofuels may have a strong net negative effect as conversion from forest/swamp to arable land releases a huge amount of stored carbon. Burning a forest to grow palm ethanol is a step in the wrong direction.
> platform-neutral language functions like "open/read/write/close/ioctl/dup/dup2"

These are all syscall wrappers. They are present in libc but they are going to be very boring stubs that merely call into the kernel. (Also I don't think you can call them platform neutral or language functions as they are POSIX rather than being from the C standard...)

The more "implementation-heavy" parts of a libc... Things like stdio, string calls, malloc, ...
What is the competition for? What outcome is Libra competing for?
If they try to be a warehouse store they will get killed by amazon (again). To compete with amazon (or walmart) they need to become a destination.

Around here if you add a playground to your restaurant you will immediately get families.

They should keep toys in the back and make the store one big toy playground. Playscape, track for riding bikes and electric cars, sand area, water area, walls of video games etc. Have "lands" similar to disney where those types of toys are available to play with. Have guides to help kids play with toys. Consumable toys can have a charge to use or art classes, science classes, electronics, etc.

Catalogs or computer screens that let you buy the toy and someone brings it from the back.

Parents will bring their kids to play and will end up buying things.
At some point it would be nice if some large organization would move us past libc. Printf and kin are a nightmare. Really we need a more rigorously vetted set of functions. Something typesafe would be nice and having a c++ version would be great, imagine a memcpy that works with std::array natively.
On the contrary, botnets are far more of a problem in systems designed to make it cheap to run a validator node. This creates an obvious opportunity for a Sybil attack: spawn a few thousand nodes on other people's insecure IoT devices and you immediately control far more than the requisite 1/3 or 2/3 of the network. It's a lot harder to control 51% of the hash rate for a PoW design like Bitcoin which effectively requires specialized hardware to mine competitively.

I'm assuming they implement countermeasures against simply running a bunch of VMs or containers masquerading as a large number of independent nodes, for example by looking for multiple connections from the same IP addresses or subnet. Otherwise botnets would indeed be unnecessary to carry out the attack—anyone could do it from home with a modest PC.
It's more likely particles that causes coughing.
There has been huge corporate involvement and investment in LLVM from its earliest days as anything beyond a research project.

When Apple open-sourced Clang, or their C++ standard library implementation and contributed them to the LLVM project, was that something to be afraid of as well? It seems to have gone pretty well.
I dug a little deeper into the EIA reports and their non-hydro renewables category is almost 90% wind. Wind and hydro alone are almost even with coal in April, with the other contributions being quite small.

Not necessarily the case. I'm a visibly transgender woman because of puberty and religious abuse when young preventing access to hormone blockers. I would say what encompasses me is to blame for suicidal ideation. The behaviour of people I have no control over and how they constantly invalidate me; possibly threaten or harm me. Furthermore, the cost of actually fixing what makes me visibly transgender is like putting a downpayment on a house and people refuse to consider it medical treatment. Reality can just hate a person and that's really what's to blame. I likely wouldn't be talked away from the cliff.
To say the healthcare system in the US is broken is an understatement, but this is a step in the right direction. Especially, if we cannot get a single payer system passed through Congress in the near term. Who knows, if the policy is actually done right, it might lower costs.

I do not work in haskell at my day job but I've found writing side projects with it has done wonders for my understanding -- I've been able to work through the trends in how people are being productive with haskell (mtl, readert, free monads, vinyl, datakinds shenanigans), just by trying to make stuff with haskell.
That's quite a leap there. There is no contradiction between thinking IQ tests work and thinking that DNB increases IQ; I thought it did, and it was a bitter experience learning first-hand how exactly the Replication Crisis works.

If you think I am an unreliable source, why don't you look at the other meta-analyses like Melby-Lervåg, or Sala? Or look at the criticisms made by researchers like Redick whose experiments turned out to be nulls? (Redick's most recent comment on DNB is titled "The Hype Cycle of Working Memory Training" https://journals.sagepub.com/eprint/U8YNVXKM5SKF6ZY9TQBR/ful... , so you can probably guess what he thinks of DNB now.) Or look at what the field thinks in recent studies - assuming you can find any recent DNB/IQ studies, as everyone has realized that it doesn't do anything.

I live in a developing country. I don't see any benefit whatsoever for using a cryptocurrency for digital transactions. I can transfer money instantly to someone else's bank account, they just need to give me their name & account number. I've used that to buy lots of things from places that don't accept credit cards.

For people who don't trust banks (my inlaws don't keep any money in a bank because they don't trust it, so they are unbanked) -- I don't see anything about Libra or Cryptocurrencies that is going to make them trust it. "There's some super-complicated math that proves you own this money and no one can take it from you" just isn't the kind of thing that is going to convince my inlaws to trust it.

Libra hasn't released any pricing on their processing fees so it is all vaporware & unfounded guessing right now.
The moment it becomes more economically viable to use renewables on a large scale than to use coal is when this stops.

The tipping point isn't here yet, but it's coming. Always follow the money.
I agree this with as some one working at a company that avoids most open source like the plague. But in this particular case, the code quality in musl is pretty good. I haven't had an issue with it so far, and after trying to upstream some things in glibc I have to say I can't see why they wouldn't use musl.
I'm not familiar with the history, but is Venezuela's currency constantly volatile or are recent events an anomaly? How do you define Bitcoin's fluctuations as 'mild' - i.e what are you comparing it to other than the local currency to determine stability?
"Lu Wenting, a Suzhou resident who says she does about 24 hours of volunteer work each week, said that she had never heard of Osmanthus, even though it is supposed to grant public transport benefits to those with high scores.

Nice. I can pull up my social credit score on an app. I am wondering, though, that if I were to challenge an incorrect portion of the score, will I get another "black mark" on the score? Because I didn't trust the system?
We don't need to speculate. We have the data on US coal use. The trend is aggressive and consistent in the downward direction.

Dec 4 2018: "EIA expects total U.S. coal consumption in 2018 to fall to 691 million short tons (MMst), a 4% decline from 2017 and the lowest level since 1979. U.S. coal consumption has been falling since its peak in 2007, and EIA forecasts that 2018 coal consumption will be 437 MMst (44%) lower than 2007 levels, mainly driven by declines in coal use in the electric power sector."

Simultaneously the US is bringing effectively zero new coal-based production online:

"In 2007, coal-fired capacity in the United States totaled 313 gigawatts (GW) across 1,470 generators. By the end of 2017, 529 of those generators, with a total capacity of 55 GW, had retired. ... Only one, relatively small, new coal-fired generator with a capacity of 17 megawatts is expected to come online by the end of 2019."
Couldn't agree more. Apollo has shipped multiple broken releases over the past year related to having a massive dependency tree - we're migrating away from their apollo-server system soon.
I live in front of a bridge in Japan and every other weekend late at night I hear/see firetrucks and ambulances rushing to the river side.

We see that in 2018 coal produced 1,146,393 thousand Megawatts, which is a decrease of ~60,000 from 2017 (corrected!). Solar produced 66,604 thousand MW in 2018, an increase of ~13,000 from 2017.

In terms of percent of coal, the sources are:

* solar 6%
* hydro 25%
* nuclear 70%
* natural gas 100%
* other renewables (mostly waste/biomass) 31%
