If nobody has yet started one, sounds like an opportunity for patient-owned collectives to manufacture and distribute off-patent drugs for chronic diseases.

I'm thinking similarly to what was done for medical marijuana, but with more a credit union-type feel.

So long as legislation clears the hurdles to such organizations, it wouldn't cost taxpayers, and seems more in-line with the spirit of patent expiration.

I'll look into Boden, sounds promising! With that said, I don't see any mention of desktop builds. Is that on Boden's roadmap? Would love to try it with Rust some time.

The API gateway quotas look broken for me. I raised the limit to 5000 keys but it looks like the standard limit of 500 applies. Which is strange because I have more than 500 API keys...

In the USA, at least, there is a singular problem: In the early 70s, the HMO Act and similar legislation was passed, bringing in the HMO-oriented system of healthcare.

A silver bullet would consist of introducing a single-payer system and winding down the HMOs.
We know what we want it to do, we want it to have some basic ability to think for itself. That is something we just simply can't do. Back propagation is far from a spanking for acting out of line. AI has no ability to understand it's acting like a fool or how to deal with uncertainty with emotions which cause us to act without regards to consequences and in many cases reality. It lacks understanding of what future consequences its trying to prevent such as our daily decisions to get up and go to work each morning. The AI has no understanding of it's future and the consequences of not going to work until it's fired 40,000 times for not showing up or it's children are taken from him/her/it.

I'm glad people are finally waking up to the fact that AI is not ML and AI is all hype at the moment. Google used algorithms quite effectively to adapt and learn, but they have no greater understanding of what we want, just what we and others have wanted in the past.
Yes, they surely did. I've seen google return a few results to common programming topics. I've seen google return results where the first page contains not a single relevant link. I've seen google return results which contains none of the query keywords.

I suspect that this game may be this generations Crysis. It requires ungodly horsepower to render at full settings, and perhaps a more-than-robust internet connection to transfer all the imagery data.
And my question was if Libra was any different. If it's like Bitcoin, there's zero chance this wont' be a hacker's paradise, and fail miserably as a way to immediately have your money stolen.

How would Libra ever work if general population using it have the normal level of computer security?

I foresee a headline like: "$20m worth of Libra stolen due to newly found security flaw. Facebook says 'sucks to be you, it's irreversible'".

(or is the protocol different, and it is reversible? How? Who controls that?)

This is good question...

Since becoming a coder/developer a lot of times I will do all that work as soon as possible. For example in April I had to learn EmberJs. So I worked real hard to get a base level. Since I worked real hard and am ahead of schedule, I kinda skated for two weeks. (I was ahead two weeks) So I kinda work like that and always have since I have been a developer.

The funny thing is that I actually hate my job, but when presented working with a new challenge, I become very interested in it. So I guess I like coding in sprints and then standing at the finish line, waiting to cross. So I have waiting for assignment for the last week, so I have generally just doing my own side projects...

But generally at work, at this point in my career. My job (contractor for the federal government) is do a professional level of work in the least amount of time possible, then start working on my side projects. I don't have a vested interest in this job as there is no room for promotion. This might sound kinda contrary to other people, but I have already retired from one career. (Retired USMC) I have nothing to prove, been there done that. My only goal is get ahead in entrepreneurial career or work at a firm/company/start up where I have vested interest.
yeah, I agree. But, OTOH, Democrats portray themselves as the "party of ideas," intellectuals and academics, and socially tolerant/liberal people and that's who Silicon Valley and Google are, so there was a natural alignment between Obama and Google/SV. Also, it didn't hurt that most of Google's employees were relatively young and probably voted for Obama. And Obama was younger and his organization was more internet-savvy. Also, campaign contributions were no doubt involved.
I think I know the kind of people the author is thinking of when he says this. Mental illness is core to their identity, and they think of everything in terms of what will "protect their mental health". It's good to be aware of how you're feeling, but at some point you also have to set your attention to just living your life.
Over the last 3 yrs I think I have discovered my supposed (very real and intense) hayfever started when I started 'real' school ( 12 yrs+ ), worsened when I attended uni and started 'working'.

Couple of years ago I started to go outside for long periods of time, at the start of the season, all season. Biking and laying about at the waterside with my nose in the grass. First year, first months, I had symptoms. But after like 2 months of exposure I started to become free of symptoms.

Up to my 'real' school we played outside extensively and I never had symptoms.

When I was about 15 years I was prescribed pills and whatnot.

If I go outside 'enough', I consider myself 'cured'.

Not mental, but I felt it was related.
More and more I think companies are mostly paying for workers not to have enough free time to look for another job.
If I were an insurance company, I'd consider buying a small pharma outfit and target it at these orphan drugs just to save money.

Here is why you'd rethink that position.

By law, insurance companies have to spend 80-85% of their revenue on patient care. Which means that their potential profits are limited by medical expenses paid out. As long as they have properly projected and accounted for the medical expenses in their business model, they therefore have a financial incentive to let expenses be high.

You're right that "Don't be snarky" is high up in the comment guidelines, but even before that comes "Be kind." Being unkind is worse than being snarky. I don't mean morally worse, but worse in the long-term effect it has on the forum. The guidelines aren't moral edicts, they're heuristics designed to prevent the system from burning out. Snark is bad, but aggression is worse: it leads to flamewar and eventually, as people keep upping the ante, to scorched earth. It's in that sense that what you did was worse than what you were reacting to. Snark is like vandalism—it eventually wrecks a neighborhood. But aggression is like arson, or gun battles in the streets.

We care as much as you do about snarky and condescending comments. I personally share your feeling of being even more averse to those than to the cruder abuses. But for a bunch of reasons, they're harder to moderate. Here's one: people's interpretations of what counts as snark or condescension vary widely. There is little community consensus around this, and moderation can never get too far ahead of the community view. We have to choose our battles wisely if we don't want to spark backlashes, protests, and off-topic distractions that render the cure worse than the disease.

I can't moderate based on my personal views. That's the reason why your advice wouldn't work. We couldn't moderate based on your personal views either. It isn't laziness—it's that you can't impose an individual interpretation set on the community as a whole. People assume we do, but that's only because they haven't learned about moderation the hard way. Moderation is extremely different from extrapolating one's likes and dislikes into site rules and then using power to enforce them.

Does that mean doing nothing about snarky and condescending comments? Hardly, and if you read my comment history (not that I recommend it), you'll find plenty of examples of asking people not to do that. But they're ad hoc and I try to be careful not to demand too big a leap from the reader.

The plan is, over time, to raise the bar for comments so that gradually the snark and shallow dismissals stand out more prominently as abusive, the way that "you're an asshole" comments do now. Then it will be possible for moderators to do more about them. But this needs to happen slowly— frog-boilingly slowly. If we push too hard, the community balks and moderation loses power. We can only do what the community will support. We can lead—but only a bit at a time. Even if https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20252539 was trite and unhelpful, I guarantee you that the hivemind is not yet ready to support moderator intervention at that level. It needs to get more refined before that is possible. That's the long-term hope, but it will take years if not decades to get there.

I run an international e-commerce site in several countries. We have been recommended all these dark patterns. Sometimes I see sites that apply all of them at once and a new user gets no less than 3 pop-ups within 10 seconds engaging them in different ways.

Many of these don't work long-term. These sites won't last long when they get one-time users who are deal seekers. This reminds me of back when all video sites had 10 ads and pop-ups or blogging sites. They all learned eventually.

I predict two dark patterns will stay with us. Making it hard to unsubscribe and designing the "YES" button to be more attractive to click than the "NO" button. They don't involve lying and they work surprisingly well.
About 95%.

The missing 5% does not include paid breaks but things like walking to the meeting room, going to the bathroom, checkout out projects or doing updates.

I absolutely loathe people who come to the office to chat as if we were close friends. I understand during breaks and lunch but not at the work desk. Constant out of topic chatter is the bane of any open office.

The days I love the most are those where I manage to enter "flow" in the morning and keep working for the entire day.

The EO requires health officials to propose a regulation that achieves the proposed price transparency. In that sense, it's an EO compelling the government to create a new regulation, not a law.
Nothing to do with Apple at all, if apps call services it can call anything at any time, some companies even hide things while Apple is reviewing then turn them on later. No way for Apple to know you are calling https://sometwiddle.com is nefarious or not, at runtime. At least in iOS the app has to ask for specific permissions to access things the app should not get without informing the user. But what it does with the info you give it permission to is not something Apple can control.

Regarding LA riots, black panthers, vs may 68 and yellow jackets, there's a world (an ocean?) of differences between the reasons which lead to each of the events, with the situation of blacks in America having nothing to do with the situation in France today and the same with the start of the LA riots vs the start of May 68.
I would think writing in itself is not the key, rather the effort to take the note itself in how it creates stronger connections to form clearer memories. If you had a laptop and had to create diagrams in software describing the lesson, I would have to believe this would be at least as effective if not more if it engaged more of your brain to accomplish this.

If you like to create sound with software I can’t recommend the Web Audio API[1] enough. It is a really low level API modeled after subtractive analogue synths where you create several nodes and connect them together just like you would do with voltage controlled synths.

When using it to create multiplayer online theremin[2] for fun, I got really impressed with synthesizers and inspired to learn more about them. That is, the Web Audio API inspired me to learn physical synthesizers.

Regrettably physical analog synths is an expensive hobby, so the only physical synth set that I’ve gotten so far is a LittleBits toy synth kit[3] (kind of like legos of synths), which I also do recommend, as an adult I can have tons of fun with it and learn and experiment, even though it is meant for kids

The root cause of those interlocking issues is that US society hasn't decided who should foot the bill for an individual's health care costs.

Putting that burden on the individual is akin to a reverse lottery, where an unlucky few pay are forced to pay obscene bills in order to survive.

Putting that burden on society is "socialism" and is at odds with market economics.
It's going to be at least one of the following:

Agreed, I think it's crazy. I don't know what's more surreal, the fact that those ads are 50% recitations of side effects (which they have to say, but surely it makes them think twice about advertising), or the inevitable "ask your doctor if <blank> is right for you". What?!? I would hope that if it was, my doctor would already know about it and have prescribed it for me. If not- new freaking doctor time.

Ask HN: Proportional Coding Font with Ligatures?
I really like Iosevka Slab and Fira Code as coding fonts, especially because of the nice coding font ligatures, where, for example, != is changed into ≠ and => becomes a 'fat arrow'.

I just tried coding with a proportional font (specifically, Optima), and it is lovely to look at and work with. But, I'd really like coding ligatures and, say, more pronounced brackets and braces.

Is there such a thing? [Alternative, how would I adapt something existing to accomplish this?]

[Yes, I understand that many people don't like non-monospace fonts for coding with. That's fine, you don't have to like it. I do think good support for Elastic Tabstops ( http://nickgravgaard.com/elastic-tabstops/ ) would get rid of one of the best reasons to use a fixed-width font, which is otherwise often the only way to align things.]
This car is $150k. I think the benefit is negligible, especially for the cost. Tesla is right to focus on lower prices and wide appeal.

Why advertise drugs to customers, they're not medical professionals - that's why we have GPs.

Frankly (and maybe it's different in Canada), but I feel like people will have better health outcomes if they are aware of the options and consult, work with, and even challenge if need be, their GP.

GPs (or Primary Care Physicians, PCPs in the U.S.) share some goals with their patients, but many goals are not shared:

* Spending less money / good drug success / less side effects vs. using only tests/drugs they GP is comfortable with
* Avoiding lawsuits vs. candid discussion
* Taking time to research medical hypotheses vs. needing to get to the next patient

Come to think of it, if one is willing to invest the time, have an inquisitive mind, and demand a partnership relationship with most service providers, perhaps that person will generally have better outcomes in many areas (home repairs, dental, car service, etc.).
That absurd association was the only way he could make a phone going off at a restaurant seem like an offensively irresponsible event.
We use them in our stores for digital signage - we use 60" screens in the store front and behind the food counters. We created web app that allows our Marketing team to allocate posters/menus/videos to stores or groups of stores. Changes are pulled by the store from the server every 60 seconds. If the store loses network connection it will just continue to cycle the existing images/videos until the connection is restored. Even with the price of the screens it's very cost effective compared to commercial offerings.
That's not in itself a bad thing: for any kind of power source, you can reduce it by either removing it or replacing it. Removing it is always cheaper.

The ideal would be no subsidies for any kind of power, and the externalities of carbon pollution would be priced in via a carbon tax or cap and trade. You can then provide a general rebate of the funds raised to the everyone, and they can either choose to use it to make up for the power they were priced out of, or on things they find more valuable.
You may not have specifically said it, but it is certainly clear from the way you are speaking about security as an annoying burden.

Just, for example, your comment "Work on security for a week and then submit". What does that even mean? Security is a going concern, not a one-and-done. What do you expect to accomplish in a week?

You mentioned you have no 3rd party pentest, nor SOC compliance. Regardless if they are required by law, not having a rudimentary pentest (which are fairly inexpensive) speaks volumes about your companies posture on security.

I hope you let the people that are trusting you with their extremely private medical and financial data that you are tired of answering security questionnaires, and aren't too concerned about having a 3rd party validate your security.
