You're assuming a precision in their post that I wasn't (i.e. that it's actually coming from the PCB, rather than 'the collection of parts called a PC sitting in front of me'... which would include the speakers for most people)
The problem is, there's no price caps on anything, so these profit seeking monopolistic predatory hospitals can charge whatever they want. Medical emergencies are the number 1 cause of bankrupcy in the US. The US spends 19% of GDP on medical with worse service and outcomes. this is more than twice the Euro average.

In the US, you need to be very careful with medical care. You should never ever go to a hospital unless you're absolutely sure that your life is in danger, and even then, you should research your condition first.

Also, don't have kids. The medical insurance premiums in the US are extremely high, if your employer isn't paying for it.
The reports that I have seen have stated that iPhones are searched by connecting a cable to them.
He later clarified:

> P.S. I have no problem with family people, and want to retract the offhand comment I made about them. I work with many awesome colleagues who happen to have children at home. What I really meant to say is that I don't like people who see what we do as more of a job than a passion, and it feels like we have a lot of these people these days. Maybe everyone does, though, or maybe I'm just completely wrong.
That’s quite BS knowing France has a much better healthcare system compared to the US and also can nuke any country to death. Defense spending and healthcare are clearly unrelated.
This kind of matches my experience - the anxiety I get is from feeling like my mind is slowing down / not totally working properly and not knowing if it will ever come back. I think I am a bit ADHD, and caffeine has a kind of calming effect on me as well, so might be worth trying a sativa blend.
The TSA was implemented during the Bush era "economic stimulus" drama.

It was never about security, it was only ever about job creation. 9/11 was a convenient excuse to put lots of underqualified/underskilled people to work overnight.

For a politician to go against that now, they get doubly fucked on both the "made America less safe" and "got rid of thousands of jobs" fronts.
If you're interested in learning about Systemd, you could service that runs in the background. Here's an an example of a Slack it I wrote...

A couple years ago & at the last minute, I needed to cover for a sys admin on a new, complicated system that didn't yet have much automation or monitoring. I only got 2 hours of instruction before he needed to disappear for two weeks. We had a status page that showed the status of services, but it wasn't wired to email alerts, PagerDuty, etc.

I really didn't want to keep staring at the status page. So I wrote a simple bash script that curled the status page once per minute. Then the script grep-ed thru the html looking for a line that indicated there was a critical failure. Finally, I did a curl post request to a slack channel that said "the servers are on fire" if there was something to report, and occasionally posted a "the servers are not on fire" if everything was fine. It was a great hack that made life easier while I learned how to properly manage the system, and help with wiring up the monitoring. It was pretty quick to write, too!

The economics is completely different though, because hardware has substantial non-recurring costs associated with it. So large batches will always be much cheaper than individual distribution. The cost of trying things is huge too, making little room for amateurs.

> I just wish we can all come to our senses and realize that the TSA doesn't really make us safer and that it just makes everyone mad. Unfortunately, people just seem to put up with it.

Indeed. What makes us safer are 2 things:

1. Secured cockpit doors
2. Passengers

Now, if someone tried doing something bad/unsafe/terrorist, everybody would jump them, and stop them from doing the thing. That's how shoe-guy was stopped. The passengers about killed him.

It used to be the chokepoint was departure. Now the TSA shoves a chokepoint to "terrorize" at the lines in front the scanners. And wherever you move the scanners creates yet another chokepoint. I'm surprised someone of ill intent hasn't done something at the lines of people.

But in the end, there's little we can do. Ideally our politicians should reconsider their roles, but thats 'reducing security yadda yadda', and political suicide.
This is an oft-repeated falsehood. The Dickey Amendment was a response to the CDC's openly-stated intent to create a stigma against firearms in the public view. Running PR to foment disgust against people who exercise a constitutionally-protected right is not proper behavior for a government agency.

The Dickey Amendment's scope is limited to this and does not prevent research of any kind. Please note that the quote in your linked article is actually the full text of the amendment:

"Provided further, That none of the funds made available for injury prevention and control at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention may be used to advocate or promote gun control." (Emphasis mine) https://www.congress.gov/bill/104th-congress/house-bill/3610...
The article gave explicit advice on grass maintenance, such as never removing more than a third of the height at a time.
Love the model choices and I hope people find inspiration from them

I observe that the main reason people this kind of inspiration contrived is because their experience with people that look similar are with people that pride themselves in not understanding technology.

So there is an ongoing incongruence.

Regarding the machine itself, it looks too big.
In what ways did reading Difficult Conversations make your life easier? Very curious to learn more (it's been on my list for a while, but need to motivate myself to get around to it)!

With that theory, the prices would be just as high in countries with mandatory and regulated medical insurance, yet they aren't.
In the US you pay just as much as us in the EU from your taxes towards healthcare as well. You are being double dipped for the privilege of having portions of the population not able to afford actual care.

My experience is completely different. I'm in Canada and the ER wait lists are usually a couple of hours. I'm also seeing a specialist in Toronto for procedures requiring image guided sclerotherapy. I bet I'd be fighting tooth and nail with insurance companies to cover that sort of procedure, which would likely run in the 100s of thousands of dollars, yet here I am getting it for "free" no questions asked.

I've never once even thought about money or insurance at all when receiving healthcare and I couldn't imagine thinking about costs when I'm already worried about my health. Americans are delusional if they think their system is better.

Per capita amounts are more relevant here:

442B in Germany is 5K per capita. 3498B in the US is 11K per capita.

So the spending difference is even more in US's favour.
Maybe there are CRC values that signal hashes, and are used as such. So instead of looking at a message, it'll look at the CRC instead. This gives you the ability to not have to know the full message, but leverage this with part/none of it.

Another reason might be for QA testing, or for fuzzing purposes.

You don't always know the implementation details, but this type of control allows one to get more understanding of those details, by seeing how the software under test reacts. This stuff is not wildly uncommon in low-grade IoT devices, or high-end devices with a low level of security maturity.
Do you ever question your moral integrity? You’re in the US taking advantage of a society that doesn’t have good social systems and which is why the wage in the US is high for skilled work. Then whenever you get sick you’ll return to a society with good social support but at the cost of lowering high wages. Seems you’re taking advantage of everything with ignorance and or desire. Whatever the case may be, I’m curious to your thoughts on this and I assume you’ve thought of it before.
The 375hp number for the Lincoln engine is almost certainly gross, and not net hp. They'd run the test on the engines without the accessories like AC, power steering, power brakes hooked up. That stopped in the early '70s with the switch to net numbers. I would not be surprised if by '74, the Lincoln 460 was making ~190hp as we would measure it now.

Of course, comparing it to a modern Mercedes 4-cyl is a silly apples-to-shortbread comparison. Nobody was optimizing for specific output in the 1960s when the Lima V8s were designed. Whatever engine you put in a Lincoln back then had to first be able to move a 5500lb+(!!) sedan off the line, working through a not-terribly-responsive C3 automatic.

Bottom-end torque was the key, and in europe, cars of that mass were often diesel for that reason. In the US gas was $.22 for 4L or so, so a giant V8 with 8mpg was an acceptable solution. The Ford big-blocks were also popular motorhome engines for that reason; many are still running today.

...which is another thing. Those engines were huge in both displacement and packaging by modern standards, massively heavy (cast-iron or forged-steel...everything), and of fairly conservative valvetrain and fuel-system design. While this meant there was a limit as to how efficient you can make one, it also means that they can be maintained almost indefinitely with only modest expenditure of time and money, a statement that I don't think has ever been made about AMG engines of any recent vintage....
The US system is worse than "capitalism will solve it." It combines everything that is bad about socialized medicine (regulatory red tape, bureaucratic overhead, slowed advancement, state-enforced moribund monopolies) with everything that is bad about privatized medicine (predatory pricing behavior, regressive cost burden, non-universal coverage).

It's a remarkably bad system, a kind of "pessimum" solution that benefits only insurance companies as far as I can tell. I've also heard that it's run as a kind of jobs program that's designed to employ massive numbers of middle-tier management, clerical, and bureaucratic types.

The US has a lot of these worst possible outcome systems. We seem to like to take all the worst ideas from the left and combine them with all the worst ideas from the right. Another example of the worst ideas of both sides is zoning and urban planning in California.

> I would sincerely urge you to continue to experiment

I am willing to continue to experiment, and I will. It took me two weeks to try half a THC capsule again: I wanted to (from a purely scientific approach, I was looking for reproducibility), but the physical memory of that horrible episode made me delay it until I amassed the necessary courage.
The second try was slightly better: the paresthesias were identical, but the scary, painful, my-body-is-shutting-down sensation was no longer there. Neither was anything pleasant, unfortunately. I also felt unwell (but nothing more) for 4-6 hours after the paresthesias disappeared.
Please understand: I was VERY comfortable experimenting with it and very excited - from a scientific point of view, as I was documenting each and every little symptom that I was exhibiting. I also am one of those fortunate individuals who have zero psychiatric afflictions - I don't suffer from depression, anxiety, mood swings, nothing - so there was nothing to decompensate, to be exacerbated by THC.

I probably need to experiment with a different strain. Unfortunately, this means switching pharmacies, as my current one has a very limited offer.
Who are you to decide that?

A bunch of web widgits live here.

such as a code section:

At best, our picture of human history is incomplete. Historians routinely compress concepts to what they understand, and their compressions become The Understanding.

For example: historians often assumed all relationships between two men were platonic because they were raised in a society with enforced heterosexuality. Their lens became the story. Alternate explanations, like trying to read a character as queer, can fall victim to the same conformation bias. You can look to more recent times to, for example, see Native culture crushed legally and compressed until people believe running around in mass produced war bonnets while hollering respects the culture.

Loki, however, was definitely genderfluid and pansexual.

I would welcome a link to the analysis you point if you wish, but this is very reductive.

There are a million markets with information asymmetry and work just fine, and there are plenty of examples of cash-pay systems that work reasonably well for healthcare.

I disagree with OP that the problem is price transparency, but the healthcare market in the us is intervened in ways that prevent the classic workings of a market.

Seems like the case includes a display, buttons, what looks like a speaker, a kit of sensors and actuators, and a breakout board to plug them into. Plus, I'm sure all of the software on the SD card is already setup to talk to those parts easily. If you are leading a class for kids on programming embedded hardware, you don't really want to waste time on how to setup a raspberry pi. The hardware is all ready out of the box.
> Eating out is a luxury.

This would be one difference. In Thailand, we eat out to fill our stomach. We usually don't consider it a luxury. We also don't care much about services.

If anything, I am a bit annoyed about the high-touch service here.

> It's between $15-30 for both of us. Thailand it was cut in half

Half is still too expensive for Thais. A dish in an average air-conditioned mall (e.g. Tesco Lotus) would cost $1-$2 USD per dish. These dishes taste great as well.

> tl;dr I disagree, being poor in America is a much more pleasant experience than being poor in many other countries.

I agree with this statement.

However, this pushes toward the all-or-nothing situation. You either have good experience or are screwed. There's nothing in between.

Restaurants having high safety standard is great. But then there's no cheaper restaurant. Then, poor folks have to spend time cooking, which is gonna waste time and taste worse.

One of my tidbits that illustrates the different quality of life between US and Thailand is that: I live in US for 6 years now, and I've never seen a cockroach here. In Thailand, I'd see one on the first day I arrive. This happens even if I stay in a high-end condo.
That is insane. Scratch that, it's surreal. There seems no logic for the government to offer this, and no logic for users to pay this tax. That is so strange.
You just don't pay. They send a bill, you ignore it.

True, but when you want to interface between code written in two different GC'd languages then you can get similar problems if you're not careful. As the number and use of these various next generation languages proliferates, I suspect we might start to see more of that kind of thing appearing over time.
They are much lower, think in the 100 to 150 range. And that's without company discounts if you have a job. On top of that, there is a fixed limited amount you have to pay yourself per year if you actually use it, and everything else is covered.

>In the EU it’s closer to 50% (or less) It’s much more expensive in the EU just not all at one time

Not really, procedures and the drugs themselves are much cheaper as they are usually negotiated on a national level. Personnel salaries are also not that high. If everything is cheaper you cannot argue that the total cost is higher.

Around the holidays this past year I was home flipping through channels and a movie from the 1970s was on with a car chase scene. It was comical to watch by today's standards... these cars were merely skidding/drifting when making turns and yeah you could see the entire chassis rolling. When you looked past the quick cuts, low angles and other hollywood magic, you could discern that they were not even going that fast. I am fairly certain that a base model civic would have left them all in the dust, at least through the corners.

These were high end for the time cars, Cadillacs, Lincolns and the like. I do remember as a kid being able to hear my father's car engine as he pulled around the corner, those old 70s cars were loud beasts.
I don't get it. How is it different from "Wide & Deep Learning for Recommender Systems (2016)" by Google?

The whole project, up til now, contains less than 2,500 lines of Python, and 271 lines of Markdown as doc, 159 lines of Shell script, and a Kaggle benchmark on Criteo CTR which dated back to 2014. The project seems to be published by FB Research, while I do not see much "research" value in this project or the companion blog.
The Argentinian government has collected taxes from its 50% child-poverty rate to fund your education so you could leave the country.

You're imagining this to be more friendly than it is -- "can't pay for emergency medical care" in the US is a euphemism for "got a bill from the hospital, couldn't pay it, so the hospital sold the debt to a collections agency and wrote the account off as a loss", not a reference to a forgiveness program.

Since the hospital takes a loss in those cases (and has to, since they have to treat everyone), everyone else's cost of care goes up to subsidize the loss.

Tax evasion is actually a really clever way to catch for-profit criminals. They don't commit crime just to bury the proceeds in a hole, so they'll inevitably perform easier-to-observe criminal actions when they seek to enjoy their ill-gotten gains.

to be fair, "actual progress" is almost always a misnomer anyway.
This is a bit of a feedback loop - jack up prices to cover those who can't pay, now more people with bad/no insurance can't afford to pay, rinse and repeat. And it's not just ER prices, the whole medical industry in the US is overpriced - even offices whose patients all have good insurance will still charge large amounts, and of course drug makers still raise prices well after recouping R&D.

> Benefits are rare for those who are working

~70% of employees receive health insurance benefits. [3] And unemployment has never been lower.

Since 2010 the unemployment rate for young workers has dropped steadily from nearly 20% to about 8%. The lowest ever recorded was 7.8%. [1]

Real median household income has also risen sharply since 2010. [2]

Please don’t move the goalposts to something like “the economy is perfect for everyone”. In the context of “is the Great Recession” responsible, I am merely stating a recession ending over 10 years ago followed by the longest period of economic growth the US has ever seen, just seems like an unlikely candidate as a potential cause.
