Most concierge practices retain the same business model. They ditch insurance, and the billing staff they hired to wrangle the insurance, and reclaim the time they personally spent wrangling insurance.

They then keep roughly the same business model, charging more or less what insurance would have paid them. They spend more time with patients because (a) not on the phone fighting, (b) though the patient pool goes down, they’re replaced by not having to pay for billing staff.

Very very few “concierge” practices aim for any more deviation from the standard business mode than that.

If you want someone to spend 40 minutes with you rather than 15, that’s your guy. If you want someone to spend a week analyzing all your old records and sleuthing it out, that model still doesn’t support it.
Speed really is the crux of the biscuit. It's not like you can't get the same results using FOSS, but the amount of time and effort to do so is significantly increased.

Volatile only says that the clobbered memory is not listed. Nothing would stop the compiler from statically analyzing the assembly to make smarter decisions if it chose to do so. This would be trivial with an empty asm block.

However because inline assembly is non-standard even that is not truly guaranteed. Your relying on the good graces of the optimizers that have broken all the other code paths with their legalistic approach.

This is the core of the problem. My neighbors across the hall might have a party from time to time and it's of course no big deal (espescially if they take the time to leave me a note with a way to contact them if it's causing a problem). My neighbors above me are always on their "special event once in a while" with 6 people in a 2 bedroom flat because today is their bachelorette, stag do, end of year blow out, holiday, party.

>Javascript was never designed with the intent of ever being anything like Java

I agree.[0]

I'm not criticizing Javascript nor Brendan Eich but trying to state why Javascript's particular history of minimal built-in capabilities has a ripple effect of motivating lots of bespoke frameworks.

In a similar vein, the early C++ language didn't have a very extensive string manipulation library. So what happens? Different C++ programmers wrote their own little custom string libraries. E.g. Qt QString functions are different from Microsofts MFC CString. Take that example of code diversity and multiply it by 1000x for Javascript.

NIMBYism isn't only about housing, it refers to any pushback on a change that is generally agreed as good/useful/necessary on the basis that "sure we need this thing, but not where I live".

Really the idea of "backend" and "frontend" is a web phenomenon that does not really have the same equivalency in other spaces. MANY of the languages you mention were not developed for use in the web space and have had libraries built to support their use in that space: C++, Rust, Python, Java, Ruby (?) all fall into this camp. Yes, they can be used for web stuff, but it is not their primary purpose (unlike PHP, JS/Node, etc). As a result I do not find this counterpoint to have a lot of meaning in the context of the question. Though, why are there so many programming languages is an interesting question in its own right.

The year has 12. If you have to selectively pick the part of the year or of the job that supports your point then you need to widen your view. You can't just ignore whatever contradicts it. I'll rephrase: off the top of my head I can't think of a reason for a "large number of employees" to want to work in that tent without any significant disclaimers attached to the request. "Only in good weather" or lack of awareness (not realizing that work conditions are bad part of the year) would be such disclaimers.

> Why is that so far beyond your comprehension

Because if people hate it 25% of the time it still makes Tesla's statement disingenuous and supports the complaint.

Why is this always the go to response whenever someone criticizes Tesla (short sellers!)? If you need to try to discredit me to counter my argument then I'm making a pretty strong argument.

They work well when they are working. Things a different when something blocks the lens, when a mirror bounces the laser back on itself, or when the laser's view is obstructed by something (ussually the road) that isnt up to code. Then the concept of lidar as reliable or even useful comes into question. Forget the math of driving, it is beyond today's lidar to tell whether there is frost on its own lens, a very basic safety proceedure.

> Tesla which is run by a delusional snake oil salesman who had a single hit with the Model S

Being that dismissive and willfully ignorant discredits your entire argument. A snake oil salesman produces nothing and hoodwinks people. I drive my "snake oil" every day and not only is it the best car I've ever driven, it's the coolest thing I've ever owned. I routinely watch his "snake oil" launch huge payloads to orbit and land the booster(s) autonomously for cheap re-use. Hate the guy personally if you want, but slander like yours is simply holding back progress.
I wouldn't say people don't. I would definitely say HN seems not to care.

I think what is more the issue is there are a lot of people on HN who see any criticism of China as nationalistic behavior from Americans at least considering the language our president has chosen to use. Which I would say that is a bad stance to take just because someone else's language is nationalistic on an issue doesn't mean my criticism is. But that seems to be the main issue. Not any particular company just talk around China.

But I agree many of these tech companies are constantly stepping over the line because they have no real competition. Which is why I say break them up.

Stands for a point of 'profit margins'.

Indian Green Revolution was a spiritual successor of Mexican 'Green' Revolution (avoiding famine in Mexico), same people (corporations) responsible for both. Yes, famine was avoided, but let's look at the costs - energy + soil degradation + lack of biodiversity (btw. India STILL has tremendous malnutrition problem, crops are mainly exported - again - profit margins).

There is a big asymmetry here we are discussing, mainly, pre 'Green Revolution' agriculture was unsustainable because of population growth and lack of education (development of sustainable agriculture for internal use), while after revolution is unsustainable because of... same things (exchange lack of education for no need to educate). India didn't solve anything, it just pushed the problem further ahead while country monetized on exports (which, without a doubt, provided higher standard of living for some %).

Why not do what i already described? Better management, better climate related preparations, stronger internal supply lines? How is that worse than GM-way which seems to only beat those solutions in profits? Seems more reasonable to save energy, make agriculture less reliable on outsourced tech and empower local production.

I think GMOs are solution to problem from 1960-1970s, not from 2020.
If it says "we have a lounge where you can meet people, and info on trips" it's a backpacker hostel.

If it says "we have a great atmosphere, and go clubbing every night" it's a party hostel.

If it says "we have family and dorm rooms, kitchens and car parking" it's probably for families or school trips.

There are also hostels used by people who are essentially homeless, though I've never seen one advertised. I knew someone who volunteered at one.

On hotels.com, what you're looking for is described as an "apart-hotel".
For those wondering how somebody sits still for 100 hours in an MRI, the answer is contained in the word "postmortem" in the subhead.

This isn't functional MRI, which observes the brain as it's working. This is a very high resolution static picture at a tens-of-microns scale. Assuredly very useful, but different from fMRI, which is what I first associate when somebody says "MRI" and "brain".

The current system is unfair to Indians and Chinese, so they are trying to fix that with the bill. At the same time, they put in that text to make it so that people from other countries who are already in the queue are not adversely affected, so it eases in the transition over two years so that people from other countries applying in the next few months don't have to wait for decades.

The memory base is actually loaded from the instance pointer, and neither of these are pinned to specific registers. They're both allocatable by the register allocator.

In the paper we build on previous work from our group, Browsix ( https://browsix.org ) to provide a similar level of abstractions to WASI (the syscall layer). We've talked about having Browsix support running programs targeting WASI in the browser.

One of the great things about supporting "Unix" in the browser is that it makes bringing a whole class of already written applications and library into the browser. I'm excited to see what people do with WASI, but its not clear to me what a program designed from the ground up around capabilities would look like!
I belive chairs are like shoes, everyone fits them differently.

There are great Aeron chairs out there I like. I work from home a lot and I've got a $100 ikea chair that I find plenty comfortable.

Keep an eye out for places that resell used office furniture if you're buying, you can save good money that way.
Actually that is a very good point. It is a bit unfair to allow Baidu to operate free outside but hold Google to a certain ethical standard. I had never considered that.
This argument feels like the classic “is killing in wartime murder”. It’s semantic at heart.
One of those $10 gym balls from Walmart. It'll make you move around and get stronger. After a couple of weeks you'll be comfortable and a new chair only costs $10.
Section 6.4 tries to answer this question.

> It is worth asking if the performance issues identified hereare fundamental. We believe that two of the identified issues are not: that is, they could be ameliorated by improved implementations. WebAssembly implementations today useregister allocators (§6.1.2) and code generators (§6.2.1) thatperform worse than Clang’s counterparts. However, an offlinecompiler like Clang can spend considerably more time togenerate better code, whereas WebAssembly compilers mustbe fast enough to run online. Therefore, solutions adoptedby other JITs, such as further optimizing hot code, are likely applicable here.

> The four other issues that we have identified appear to arise from the design constraints of WebAssembly: the stackoverflow checks (§6.2.2), indirect call checks (§6.2.3), andreserved registers (§6.1.1) have a runtime cost and lead to in-creased code size (§6.3). Unfortunately, these checks are nec-essary for WebAssembly’s safety guarantees. A redesigned WebAssembly, with richer types for memory and function pointers [23], might be able to perform some of these checksat compile time, but that could complicate the implementation of compilers that produce WebAssembly. Finally, a Web-Assembly implementation in a browser must interoperate witha high-performance JavaScript implementation, which mayimpose its own constraints. For example, current JavaScript implementations reserve a few registers for their own use,which increases register pressure on WebAssembly.

Good points, it is totally possible that 1 would be the case -- although we in tech like to think it would not be a factor (e.g. its all just logic), it actually probably is, since there are so many other factors that go into successful employee.

2. This one is tough -- defining and executing "proper help" this is so specific to each person (again like an heiress who might just need english tutoring vs son of the dish washer who needs money for college) that our attempt to fix with something simple like a "list of females" likely won't have the right effect without more insight. Not saying impossible, just difficult.
Time to update my emergency contact details in the company ERP system
This is a lot along the lines of questioning to large tech firm representatives yesterday in the senate- if these large tech companies are monopolizing due to having all these separate products and bolstering each product over other equivalent products.

But when criticized, each company defended itself by trying to say that each of their individual components had hot competition, even though they also defended the tight integration of their own product suites(arguably over other individual products) as for the client. Google's representative even claimed that google can be entirely avoided if a customer desired.

The rough date you checked will be relevant - as CPUs move to smaller process nodes, they become more susceptible to this type of failure.
For single-instance scenarios with a single memory, I think using a 0-based memory will be a lot more efficient than reserving a register for the memory base. That doesn't fly when a Wasm engine is embedded into an arbitrary C++ program, but for standalone scenarios this may be feasible.
