How are you sending the file to your Kindle? AZW3 should work if you're connected to your computer via USB and dragging over manually or sending over via Calibre, but I've seen it not work if you're trying to send it to the email addy associated with the kindle. For that, you are correct, MOBI is usually the preferred option.

I'll start by saying I agree with the premise of the article - transparency of pricing is not just helpful, it is necessary.

However...I can also understand why paying by cash should much cheaper Adding another company or companies into the transaction, trying to standardize the various medical procedures, invoicing and managing co-pays, deductibles etc adds a significant amount of overhead.

One would hope that the insurance companies would leverage the volume of transactions and the pools of clients to get price improvements but this is not the case.
I don't want to oversimplify your stance, I'm just trying to distill it to something I understand. In the analogy above, would you think this tipping point where the signal is no longer improved is related to the volume of the buyer compared to the overall volume?

In other words, Warren Buffet buying a huge portion of a penny stock will drive past that frequency tipping point easily while lil ol' me buying a few shares of an index fund will have effectively little to no impact?
Just like a Laplace transform maps differential equations into algebraic equations and convolution into multiplication - or Fourier for that matter - it's not so hard to imagine that there are encryption maps (that are hard to invert) but where something like a sum operation becomes a feasible operation in the encrypted domain. A max operation can similarly have an equivalent operation in the encrypted space.

I guess your concern is that the output is "one of the encrypted input" values and hence identified, although not decrypted. Subsequently, all the input values would be fed into the "max" module and their complete order can be determined by the one running the homeomorphic server.

In that case we will need to have an output where all inputs are returned. Perhaps a map with indices and values (all encrypted) as input and as output would be sufficient.

It has no real advantages to buying a console because you still have to buy the games individually as they explained. It is no different than financing a gaming console except you could eventually pay it off unlike Stadia.
I wonder if green space and trees still improve well being if someone is allergic to them (not deathly so, just enough to be a nuisance). I myself am especially allergic to the flora around me, and I always dream of moving somewhere cold where everything is nice and dead and can't hurt me.
The difference is that these apps were offered as stuff like "play games, earn rewards." "watch videos, earn rewards" etc. so I don't know how it could even be remotely related to shoplifting or cc fraud...where those are so obvious.
Is there something similar in freshwater? A carbon capturing plant like kelp in lakes?
"...wish it had a name..."

IIRC, I think first read the phrase "complexity catastrophe" in the book Design Rules: The Power of Modularity. Per the authors, it's when a system becomes so complex (interdependent) that the cost of any further changes far outweigh the expected benefit.

Good to know! Thank you! Haven’t dealt with zk in detail since ~2016.
Nope, you're still visible.
I work in central London and feel the same way. Coworkers are often surprised that when I moved to London, I chose to go quite a bit north and have to take the tube for 45 minutes to get to work.

But I live on a one way street with no traffic, and when I look outside my window, there is a giant field of grass with lots of huge trees.

I can go outside, lie down in the grass, enjoy the peace and quiet. I will watch the squirrels outside on my days working from home, trying to fight the crows for food. The crows outsmart them every time, without hesitation. It's part of what keeps me sane in this big city.
BigCos like Google and Microsoft can afford to pay big bucks and collude together. Startups on the other hand can't always afford to pay $100k+ for a junior engineer.
eh, it's just a reductio ad absurdum argument

The underlying point is that it'd be nice if you are able to get first world care instead of "lifehacks" for a range of very common conditions, given that you're insured, and not have to pay a giant deductible.
Most of the crumbling RADOME material I've seen has been on receive-only antennae, because that's what I deal with regularly, so I don't think it's purely a power thing.

My working hypothesis is more in line with your (1), that plasticizer is the major absorbing component of the plastic, so to make RADOME plastic you just leave out the plasticizer and live with crumbly plastic. But I'm no polymer chemist, so that's really just speculation.

Which is why you keep your primary text plane at focus depth, and emphasize shallow 3D displacement. You can do a lot with a mere cm of depth around your laptop screen, or a similarly scaled annulus at an HMD's 2 meter focus distance.
Richer people live in areas with more trees? Or, if they control for wealth and racial group and all the rest, try something like "health-oriented people prefer being around trees?"
Oh yeah, I get you. Yeah, that is something the ad network has to deal with. Really crazy to think how much online ad dollars are spent as well. I think most of google's revenue is directly from advertising.
Years ago, I went to a photography exhibition. Theme was the city. The artist's motivation was the idea that we - humans - live in a mineral world (cement, concrete, glass and bricks) now. But we evolved to live and prosper in high grass and trees, in an organic world.

Also, long ago I read that humans liked to sit on benches in park because it feels like we are hiding in the edge of the forests, looking for things from a safe distant place.
Shouldn't that be "Plans B"?

I believe "plan b" is a head first compound noun, and should pluralize like "hangers on", "mothers in law", or "attorneys general".

But I could be wrong. The plural form doesn't get much usage.
yes exactly, now there is the thing about how wikipedia is set up for editing.
these articles have a process for editorilizations, or corrections, but i havnt gotten into it too far.

there is a problem with ethyl mercury toxicity being compared to METHYL mercury toxicity, which is extremely toxic. This creates modulation effect as in oh its only ethyl mercury.

heres a paragraph from this link:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylmercury

The toxicity of ethylmercury, for instance as it derives in vivo from thimerosal, is not well studied, and for many years, studies of methylmercury were used as a basis to predict the safety and estimate the risk of thimerosal use.[citation needed] Methylmercury and ethylmercury distribute to all body tissues, crossing the blood–brain barrier and the placental barrier, and ethylmercury also moves freely throughout the body.[3] Risk assessment for effects on the human nervous system have been made by extrapolating from dose-response relationships for methylmercury.[4] Clifton has offered the estimate that ethylmercury clears from blood with a half-life of seven to 10 days in adult humans.[5]

However, preliminary direct evidence from a 2005 animal study, subsequently summarised in an NIAID fact sheet on the use of thimerosal, suggested that methylmercury is an inadequate reference compound for evaluating the toxicology of ethylmercury, because the two compounds differ significantly in the ratio of organic to inorganic mercury each produces in the brain, as well as in their individual tissue distributions and clearance rates.[6][7][8][9] Taken together, the researchers conclude from their monkey study of ADME for inoculated thimerosal-derived ethylmercury and the stomach-administered methylmercury that past and ongoing studies of methylmercury are unsuitable as a basis for evaluating thimerosal toxicity, and that thimerosal risk assessment "based on blood mercury measurements may not be valid" [emphasis added].[10]
Raleigh NC is called "City of Oaks" for a reason. I feel like it probably has more tree coverage than Atlanta, but it's much smaller too. Still, great place to live and a pretty solid tech scene between downtown offices (RedHat, Salesforce, Citrix) and RTP + Durham jobs a short drive away (SAS, NetApp, Cisco, Epic Games).

We also are working on a new 300 acre park project that's only about a mile from downtown, so I'm really excited to spend time there when Fall comes around.

Well as screwed up as the system is one little part of why prices are so high is to cover when people don't pay.
Make sure you look for native trees. They are much more likely to survive drought. Hard to say what to do about bugs which are likely non-native invasive species though. Other than plant a variety of different trees so bugs don't get them all at once.
We posted more details just now. Will share more next week too.

I think it depends on the efficacy of the cheaper procedure. It's rare for the cheaper procedure to be as accurate as the more expensive one. If you knew the tuning fork was 80% accurate and an x-ray 100% accurate, would you still take it? I'd personally pay extra to make sure I was diagnosed correctly.
It has been good practice for awhile now to claim you have no insurance even if you do: https://selfpaypatient.com/2015/05/12/insured-but-not-lettin...

Once you know the cash price then you could later say you got insurance but not vice versa.
I know it's a meme, but linux isnt necessarily impenetrable either
he's just pulling your leg, he's referring to an older woman. they're known as "cougars". but this lil' thread gave me a laugh.
Daniel Kahneman’s book “Thinking, Fast and Slow” was a real eye opener to me. The most amazing aspect of some of what he discussed was that human psychology is so persistent, so intrinsic, that even experts that well know our deficiencies still make mistakes in decisions on psychological tests.
The current heading is ambiguous as well.
It's a cancerous reddit joke. He thinks he is funny because "cougar" is sometimes used to describe an older woman who seeks a younger man.
No. For the market to work, substitute goods would need to have transparent pricing so the customer can choose with price in mind. Most ultrasounds — indeed, most entire hospitals — are pretty close to identical goods. Everyone will die without food, but supermarkets don't take advantage of that fact to mark up food by 500%.
The real question here is how OP's username is green.

I tried making a new account and naming it <font color="#ee00ff">accountname</font> but HN doesn't allow characters like '<' so that didn't work.
Isn't that already what is happening at FAANG companies? According to levels.fyi, a senior developer at Facebook and Google is at ~$360k in total comp. After working 5 or 10 years, you could easily have $1M in savings (perhaps a bit more challenging given the cost of living where these companies are located, but still possible).
Great question. General-purpose programming languages and query languages have entirely different objectives and don't mix well. In practice, SQL is a high-level messaging protocol used to communicate between two processes (client <-> server) or two modules within a single process (client <-> embedded DBMS).

I worked with several operating systems that included a native programming language and a built-in DBMS: DEC-MUMPS (MUMPS) and IBM OS/400 (RPG). The facilities for database queries in these languages were much better than embedded SQL.
Perfection to me is a land plot surrounded by woods with no neighbors for miles, maybe with a pond or a stream going through.
Yeah I think the big problem here is related to the scale, not the fact that it's cheaper when you pay in cash. But that insurance would pay $500 (after negotiating the price down) and then push a > $1k charge to the patient when the clinic would have been ok with a $500 payment up front is just wrong.

It's also worth noting that many clinics, if not most, won't actually try to collect the balance here. They'll often go through the motions and forgive the balance after some number of attempts to collect.
Speed is secondary. iTerm has much richer features, even the hotkeys are super nice.

Providers are the core problem. Various doctor associations (AMA et al) have strangled supply side of healthcare through State licensure and scope of practice laws.

Just read medical forums to get an idea of what an average doctor thinks about competition in the form of midlevels:

https://www.auntminnie.com/Forum/tm.aspx?m=581583

"Don’t teach your mid levels procedures... Ultimately, a mid level that can do procedures, even easy ones, are your competitors."

https://www.auntminnie.com/forum/tm.aspx?m=581130

It's not politically talked about because it's much easier to blame corporations than your neighborhood doctors. There's enough leeches downstream too (insurance, pharma, PBMs, administrators, etc) but gatekeeping at the supply side is what's making it possible.
Yes, that's my understanding. But there's no guarantee that Wealthfront transfers to the FDIC-insured bank accounts as soon as possible. For all we know, Wealthfront could hold on to it for weeks.

Nearly every country on Earth that has bought into the Capitalist system has become far better off than they were 100 years ago, not just the richest countries in the world.

I agree that "No true Capitalism" is just as bad a fallacy as "No true Communism". But our real life imperfect Capitalism has still had incredible results whereas real life imperfect communism has lagged significantly and failed more brutally.
Can we just drop these trees (organic matter) into subduction zones?

I've assumed carbon capture would be implemented by burying it. Maybe even pump it back underground, to also help counteract subsidence. Or really far-fetched is making misc kinds of bricks.
20 years ago,much of what I used today didn't existed there was no AWS, no C# (but C++ was close enough I guess), mobile where you had to worry about semi-connected networks and syncing, etc. There is no part of the human body that exists today that didn't exist 20 years ago.
Well, it was my obvservation reading typescript code (never wrote a line in this language) with a background from java and then c# and then scala. The observables part felt really easy even without knowing the language syntax, but I suppose that the past 4 years of scala made me instantly translate the code in functional fashion and it was all smooth.

On the other, while it's wrapped differently, the whole idea of "this object will start emitting events, and we will be having functions as callback on them defined in various objects" really feels a lot like good old java observables/listeners, even if it's applied with a different paradigm. The stream part really feels like an implementation detail to me, it's just less boilerplate than before.

Then again, it was just an anecdote based on reading code in a language I don't use ^^ javascript and typescript aren't even mentioned on my resume, for good reasons, so I should be safe in interviews !
His idiotic post was highly inappropriate for this site, and so is yours because your last sentence encourages the behavior.
The headline itself is persuasive ("click bait").
Most of those are on national forest land, which is different than a national park. The wonderland is at Mt. Rainier National park, which requires permits for all overnight backpacking. Same with Olympic and North Cascades National Park.
Which makes it interesting that the Go creators, being heavily into C before, decided to ditch the end of statement semicolon.
Wow, seeing this posted really took me back! I, too, was obcessed with Ithkuil when I was in school. I thought it was just the best idea, to construct a dense, powerful, (dare I say) "perfect" language. Too bad I never actually got fluent in it, but then I saw a few years ago that he'd rebooted it as a new language. Conlangs and language design in general is a lot of fun, I'm glad to see he's still doing it.
> I wouldn’t, but that’s because of something deeper than anything we experience in America or Australia.

I'm sick of this holier than thou attitude that people have here. There's this patronizing attitude that if only the brain washed Chinese knew what was really happening they would rise up! Yet you know about the Nayirah testimony, MKUltra, Snowden, Cambridge Analytica, migrant camps... why aren't you out protesting, storming congress, why isn't Bush in prison, why isn't Trump impeached? It's not a "small minority"; it's the majority. Most Americans don't care enough to find out and if they did they wouldn't care enough to do anything.

I'd argue that the propaganda is much deeper and subtle in the West. The media is a oligarchy yet it's still "independent" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWLjYJ4BzvI You believe are the good guys despite history despite everything.
Pretty sure the left side of the Venn diagram should say "Has network effects", otherwise it doesn't make sense.

Although even then it's confusing.
You're presenting a false dichotomy. If people are being gouged then you can pass laws to limit that. You don't need single payer to solve these issues. Everyone knows the pricing system is BS. If that's the case then we should pass laws to change this.
That's clearly not what this article is about. Please focus on what's new and interesting about an article instead of hauling in old links to restart old flamewars. Repetition is the enemy of curiosity. We want the latter. Edit: one can see this problem in the very first word of your comment: "Again".

Simplicity is definitely a virtue. When I maintain large codebase of 10+ year project, it is easy to spot where someone tried to be very clever, and it is rarely benefit for codebase maintainability and extendability in the long term. Things rarely get reused that much to take advantage of overcomplicated abstract solution. Most of the times developers do not predict future business requirements correctly and simple solution would be the better one.
The phishing campaign may be really lame. The payload, however, was pretty sophisticated.

No, that's assuming that the free market is best at distributing wealth. Evenly distributing at least some of the money isn't the same as "spending" it.
Yeah they must. I wrote one once too to power this: https://extstats.appspot.com

The cash price being lower is lucky. Sometimes uninsured cash prices are jacked up due to collusion with the insurance racket.

We see a hint of that here: "Cigna gets a contractual discount of just over $1,000 because it’s, well, Cigna." In this particular case, the negotiated discounts didn't bring the price below the cash one, but in many cases it will.

I moved from Bay Area to LA about 7 years ago. In Bay Area, they treated software engineers like a king but here in LA, I worked at 3 companies so far and engineers aren't treated that well. LA is still very much old fashioned corporate style(unless you work for a Bay Area company who has an office in LA or somewhere like Snap). Managers get the respect and micromanage engineers. One engineering manager in a big entertainment company in LA told me once - "oh engineers are just commodities." I sometimes miss the Bay Area vibe of engineers being treated like celebrities.
