I would really like to see how this compares to Firebase. It sounds really similar in that you subscribe to events and then AWS or Google handles the difficult tasks of routing to the right places.
In the west, but in China you pay everything with wechat or alipay and similar solutions are popping up in Asia in every country with success. But in China it is accepted everywhere. And when it is not it still is because usually the shop cashiers will use their own phone to complete the transaction.
This looks similar to Azure Event Grid, which I'm more familiar with. If that's true, the value prop is that one event handler can be webhook based while another handler can be queue based, and you can add and remove these different kinds of handlers without making any producer-side changes. It's quite nice
Would you mind elaborating?

I'm curious to hear what makes you look back on it with some disdain?

Is it something you would sum up as a high opportunity cost?
My exaggeration was in my understatement. America isn’t uniformly bad, but some cities are far beyond having merely one strange person per block. The downtown cores of many west coast cities really do have wide regions that resemble cinematic wastelands.

Maybe your experience is different, I don’t know, but it’s a scale far beyond anything I’ve witnessed anywhere else. Some cities are less severe than others.
It has built-in integrations so you don't have to standup a service or API Gateway to receive webhooks from their list of partners. Their initial list of partners is [1]:

- Datadog

- OneLogin

- Pagerduty

- Saviynt

- Segment

- SignalFx

- SugarCRM

- Symantec

- Whispir

- Zendesk

and of course that'll grow over time - anyone that produces events can become a partner.

A housing network or authority is one of the first institutions we should build up. Housing first is probably one of the best thing we can do to fix this.

And yes such an institution would be totally hamstrung if we don't address costs through zoning and permit reform.

This has to be flagged for the quality of the news source.

There are multiple typos in the article itself (the last word is "recieveing"). The homepage headline as of writing this comment is grammatically challenged: "The ‘Black Mirror’ tech billionaires are investing in to try and live forever"

This article provides no sources, no footnotes, no authoritative evidence other than "purportedly..." It editorializes throughout and reads like it was written by a Romanian SEO bot.

Do we have any standards on HN anymore, or do we just post and promote articles with clickbait headlines that make us feel good?

Also, the post is from 2017. Come on, people.
Maybe chronic inflammation causes diabetes.

I doubt that it's that straight forward. Inflammation is associated with both chemical derangement and infection. Probably other things as well, like allergic reactions.

Insulin resistance has also been linked to inadequate muscle mass more strongly than to excess fat per se.

Maybe, but smoking going down a lot already in the years before vaping really showed up especially iirc among younger cohorts. Antismoking efforts had worked pretty well but then vaping came in and dodged 99% of the social (at least the antismoking stigma I remember vaping being the brunt of soo many jokes and mockery when it first hit) and health stigma with no real science to back up the health claims (in absolute it's not hard to be better for your health than cigarettes after all).
Thanks. Sometimes, with counterfeits of various kinds of electronics products, I've wondered whether there was ever an intentional telltale indicator. So that country or other entity never accidentally got a counterfeit into a supply chain where they really didn't want it to be. (For example, not into the parts supply chain of a high-profile device manufactured there. Nor to ruin domestic markets for prestige luxury brand products, or other products for domestic consumption for which quality/integrity is considered very important.)

Facebook denies it is a social network in legal filing
Agreed!

I can understand when some complicated procedures can’t be correctly estimated until after, but there is no reason why routine procedures can’t be priced out ahead of time.

When my daughter had her tongue tie fixed at a dentist, they gave us the procedure codes ahead of time and I could ask insurance exactly what it would cost. It was beautiful.

It’s such a big problem now I’m surprised a hospital doesn’t use it as a selling point “we give you a guaranteed estimate and if we’re wrong, we eat any additional cost”. I know that would weigh pretty highly when I’m selecting a hospital.

FWIW, at work the 1PW cloud/subscription thing is a _very_ good thing, and easily worth what we pay for it.

I just don't want to have my personal password db on other people's computers, and their ever more forceful pushing to get me off the standalone apps synced between my devices over wifi has _finally_ got me looking around for alternatives. I'm _totally_ happy to pay for an alternative - I _do_ value software (especially this type of software), and Id love to be sure whatever I use has a reasonable change of being around (and being successful) in the timeframe of at east 5-10 years.

Bit I totally get that AgileBits are heading in the direction where my work is their target customer, and I am not. That's fine. I'm pretty sure I'd be making exactly that same decision if I ran/advised AgileBits.

Why are these people not put in mental institutions (they would be here) instead of possibly jail? That is where they belong: jail and other punishment is not going to help anyone long term.
Correct. You could follow a 1970's Atari green/black pixelated set of lines just as well. And optical illusions such as the Kanizsa Triangle demonstrate even that much info is more than ample, since your brain only needs the tiniest of hints to calculate shape and size in order to calculate direction.

"An EV drivetrain is extremely simple and reliable"

I don't know why it is so popular to repeat this over and over because it seems palpably ridiculous to me.

Everybody has plenty of experience with electrically powered appliances, and many if not most of them only last a few years. I'm not suggesting this is inherent, just that there is no reason to consider them simpler or necessarily more reliable.

If there were washing machines or smartphones that you could expect to last decades, then I would find the idea of EVs being super reliable more plausible.

It's amazing what medicine can and cannot do. While it's great to think that medicine and diet and exercise arranged in some unique fashion will place Schizophrenia/Bipolar into remission, there are an incredible number of variables in play in mental health and physical health overall, and they seem to vary in everyone.

So I take most of these articles with a huge grain of salt. Perhaps this is a nudge in the right direction, and maybe it will encourage further research into diet and mental illness. Personally I would support this as I'm far from enthusiastic concerning psych meds in general, but unfortunately they're the best we have it seems.

And yes, if you have had manic episodes, taking an anti-depressant should be done with care. Actually I would suggest doing everything possible and would recommend using any psych medication as a last resort for any health related situation.
If I undestand it, Pinker gave his opinion but now regrets it in face of the charges / who is being charged?

I was in the Windows org for a bit and this is one of the reasons why I quit Microsoft. I couldn’t live with myself that I am working on something that frustrates users by shoving ads in their face.

I've worked for multiple major cloud providers and I assure you that launching the dependency chain to get most cloud services in production for 1 region takes 6 months minimum (they have entire teams dedicated to launching regions). That is after building the datacenter (years) and launching the main database services (which require custom server hardware as I previously mentioned) that power most of the main cloud services.

Google uses spanner, AWS uses dynamodb, and Azure uses Cosmodb which are all different database systems and thus they are all completely incompatible.

It is likely that far more people are “enslaved” (your word) by caffeine than nicotine.

I don’t see a significant problem there either and if nicotine turns out to be roughly equally damaging (not much), is it really a problem?

Refined sugar is probably more damaging than either of them.

I thought LIFTR was the coolest thing ever. MSRs could have revolutionized power generation... about two decades ago.

Solar/Wind/Storage are beating almost everything. Everything they aren't... they will, very soon.

It's possible that MSRs could be scaled down and their liquid nature means that the reactor could simply be replaced on a schedule and the entire old reactor "reprocessed". But the investment won't be there with wind/solar/battery eating everyone's lunch.

And that's IF regulatory was simplified and IF you were able to get enough starting fuel to initiate breeding of the thorium.
No. I like coffee and I don't see it as bad for me in moderation. Caffeine is addictive but it would be hard to convince me that it's carte blanche bad for me just because it's addictive.

Self-Regulated Interactive Sequence-to-Sequence Learning

2. A data cleansing / checking job in a Java webapp occasionally turning the machine to molasses.

In both occurrences the regex had been around for a while; what happened is that the data was different. e.g. Lots of trailing whitespace.

Modifying Perl 6 Executable to Run Bytecode
Yes. Which is why they pay for medical coders (or equivalent software) to optimize it for them. It's the equivalent of using an accountant for your taxes - you can certainly do your own, but your accountant likely has a far better idea of what the IRS considers "reasonable" and therefore where they can and can't get creative on your behalf.

Different insurance companies have different tolerances, requirements, and denial tendencies for specific codes. So the definition of "reasonable" is highly contextual.

At least in this instance, the surprise bill was _only_ $100 from what sounds like a fairly standard medical coding practice. He could have just as easily been surprised with a several thousand dollar ER bill[1] if he had chosen a more financially creative urgent care facility.

Bellevue actually kicks money back to Seattle for homeless shelters, along with running their own (but near east gate, not a great locale).

Yes, Bellevue cops aren’t as soft as Seattle cops (they send riot squad out if some guy is sleeping on a park bench), but it is still a liberal area.

Renton on the other hand...is basically a giant strip mall, homeless people wouldn’t find much their even if they did setup shelters. And they already have a lot of questionable characters in what passes for their downtown area (I’ve taken the 565 a few times between Bellevue and the airport through Renton).
I thought NFAs and DFAs are equivalent, i.e. an NFA can be reduced to a DFA (at least what I remember of undergraduate theory of computation).

A decent amount of your electricity bill is related to supply. Modern countries have a lot of rules around the reliability of their energy supply so companies spend a lot of money to guarantee that infrastructure is up to scratch. You're not paying for just the energy but for the transport of that energy.

A home system that uses its own electricity has the advantage of reducing the demand on the grid. A commercial system doesn't.

I've spent a long time messing around with Inform7, for quite a few years on and off, and then I kind of stopped after realizing a few things: 1) it's incredibly frustrating and inefficient to write games in an English like language when you're a perfectly capable programmer, 2) if I try to do any even slightly more complex programming I'll be shot in the foot, and 3) I'm terrible at writing puzzles.

I did try to solve the first two problems by trying Inform 6, but it's just not a great language and that third problem is a sticky bugger. (:

Anyway, Inform has an extremely powerful and featureful IF engine, and one that I dearly wish I could tap into using some kind of decent programming language (even ZIL!). It going open source gives me hope that that might become possible in the future.

If anyone knows of any good IF libraries for existing programming languages (especially Lisp) that would be awesome.

Wow, you really go as far as saying government was not involved? The only reason prices for renewables have gone down to where they are now is due to government policies that promote that tech. Details available on wiki [0]. This only happens if parties do care about environment & co. Here in germany it was actually done by a centre-right party by local standards, though obviously that would translate to "Left" when compared to the current US political landscape. Just like pretty much all parties here. Btw, we have more than two... this makes it quite a bit harder to group all you dislike as "the other".

Oh, dear god no. Nicotine inhalers exist, and I went to a doctor to get a prescription for them a few years before ecigs became prevalent. The doctor insisted that Chantix was the way to go. I reacted badly to Chantix.

I finally quit cigarettes by switching to ecigs, and eventually quit those as well. Actually, I just passed the 5 year mark nicotine-free a couple weeks ago.

Point is, doctors are happy prescribing Chantix, which is bad, and the better option may simply not be prescribed to folks for whom it would to a lot of good.
