It depends on how you work.

I practically never read documentation. My first question when I start working on a project is often "where are the sources?".

There are exceptions of course, like external public APIs (ex: manpages), protocol definitions (ex: RFCs) and "black boxes". As a subcontractor, specifications are are useful too but mostly for legal reasons.

Maybe I trained myself to work like that after reading so much bad documentation.
Yeah, let's entrust the communal cattle to whatever amateurs feel like being herdsmen today. And let's entrust the food supply to amateur hunters and fishermen. What could go wrong?

That is a spectacularly impractical idea.

Apparently it is possible to do radiocarbon dating on tooth enamel. Enamel contains 0.4% carbon and is indeed frozen at time of development. Unfortunately, we're limited to post-nuclear testing because without the atmospheric diffusion C14 has very low precision due to the half-life of 5730 years.

It is possible even if unlikely. But if you are right that it is way too unlikely then the next alternative is that her age was exaggerated by 3 years. The theory that she "was her own daughter" I think is also possible but less likely than an (intended or unintended) error of 3 years somewhere.
It is a failing of the ego to think that one has foreseen all possible abuses of a policy going forward.

I think the answer is more speech, not less. Any exception you carve out will be abused in the future, based on the history of humankind and the behavior of governing entities throughout.

Take these exceptions to freedom of speech, add to them a codified framework for equity (which some are pushing for), and you're laying the groundwork for a society like that seen in Harrison Bergeron.

Exactly. ACA and any other business friendly arrangement proposed by the 'private sector' sponsored democrats (the proverbial 'establishment') will have that effect. Because it still 'stimulates' the business side of things to react in a way that makes it profitable. This should be an all-or-nothing type of deal.
Oh screw off with your assumptions about what I believe. I fully expect the government to burn kids alive then blame it on the parents if it fits their agenda. Deporting people who fled communism decades ago and lead productive lives (the "good kind" of immigrants by almost any metric) does not seem to further their agenda (it does the opposite by making them look bad, as far as I can tell) hence I assumed they would not be a concerted effort to do it.

Edit: Yes I read the articles that another commentor posted in reply. You don't need to quote them at me.
The 90s called, they want their UI engineer back.

UI these days is often more complex than the underlying logic itself. App logic became, to me, even secondary. Most of those issues are solved problems (databases, sql, rest, xml, json) and are mindnumbingly stupid and boring to implement. Save data record.. query data record.. validate data record, yeah, yeah, really complex.

A good fancy UI however... good luck.

I had the same question while reading TFA. The Khoisan ethnic group split from the main population an estimated 150k years ago, and although their clicking language is peculiar I don't think they have any issue with recursive grammar.

There's an open-source product I'm working on that helps with exactly that. Find it at https://steinhq.com.

We've launched recently, and would love it if you could try it out! Let me know how it goes.
I have used Scala quite a bit, and I do feel it does a few things better than Java.

That said, I really dislike the 'best-of-both-worlds' argument for mixing OO and FP.

Immutability is fantastic. If you are sitting in OO land, and someone gives you a library for immutable collections - great! But if you're already practicing immutability, and someone starts modifying your stuff, what is to be gained?

It's the same story with null. I finally got rid of that - why would I want to become 'pragmatic' and get null back?
"But wait, where did company X buy their shares from? They must have bought them from somebody. Therefore somebody got that money."

From investors. At the current market price; i.e. closer to $20/share than $40/share. Keep in mind two things: the person who sold the share doesn't get any further income from that share, unlike a dividend, and the company won't buy back shares if they believe the shares are fairly- or over-valued. They only buy back shares if they think the stock prices is too low.[1]

The buy-back only acts as a "dividend" to those who sell after the buy-back has raised the stock price, not to those who sold into the buy-back.

"Moreover, your shares in the company increased. If you had 1 share to start with, after the buyback you have the equivalent of 2 shares. Your "dividend" is the extra share, which the company bought for you using the cash they would have otherwise paid out."

Uh, are you confusing buy-backs with stock splits? Before the buy-back, you have one stock share. After the buy-back, you have one stock share, which represents a larger share of the corporation's earnings and book value. Bought-back shares disappear[2]. Your "dividend" is the difference in price of that one share before and after the buy-back.

And the price of that share is free floating, moving according to market forces.

[1] In theory. Ideally. They can also do so to manipulate the stock price, the strike price of management options, and other things that are generally bad for investors. Stock buy-backs have a legitimate purpose, to signal to investors that management considers the stock price to be too low. They're not a substitute for dividends.

[2] They go into the company's treasury, where they can be re-sold later to raise money without affecting dilution, IIUC.
That’s not what happened. The federal government capped wages during WWII, and in response the unions threatened to strike, which would have shut down the war effort. To mollify them, the health insurance that unions had negotiated as a fringe benefit from their employers was temporarily made tax-free (normally you pay taxes on the cash value of fringe benefits).

After the war, it was supposed to go back to normal — but people had gotten used to not paying taxes for their insurance benefits, and it became politically impossible to go back to the way things were pre-war.
I always wonder about that, like who is the rude person... really hard to know.

I don't think I've ever encountered "rude" staff. Maybe just dumb luck but it's just not something that has occurred to me where I thought that.
I doubt it. An estimate for the iPad puts the cost of the touchscreen controller at 2$[1]. I'm not sure that actually includes the capacitive sensors but I doubt they add much more cost.

Ah, you are correct. That was less than a month ago too.
Back when cell phones had removable batteries you'd just put a connector like this under the battery. These days it seems like a fairly major oversight. Maybe someone will figure out a slide in socket that will be compatible? Depends on how the pins are arranged on the memory card. It might be tricky to pull off depending on the pinout of the card.
Absolutely loving this app so far. The complete lack of nonsense features that serve as an additional distraction from work are exactly what I have been looking for!

I am using this to track what I'm working on (or not working on) during the day so I can accurately enter my time-spent into projects at EOD.

> I can't imagine how many people are stuck in jobs they hate just because they are afraid to be without insurance. It can't be good for anyone.

It seems like it is good for employers for employees to be more precarious and dependent on them.
Could you be a bit more specific here? So far, your statement seems like a complete non sequitur.

Well I don't think "anyone" in Europe wants to send these migrants to the bottom of the sea.
A solution currently worked on is to pay other countries closer culturally, socially and even geographically (i.e Turkey) to host these people.

The lack of border security gives a sense of unease especially if you expect people from a war torn country or a country where crime is high so I fully support securing the borders.

However the deshumanisation of migrants and treating them as criminals (or worse) is totally wrong and has no place in a civilised country. You can have both border security and immigration. Just be honest who is allowed in and who is not, put in place agreed quotas and that's it. At least everyone knows(including the migrants) what your stance is.
Makes me think really hard about tech’s blind adoration for the “PayPal mafia.” I find myself seeing more instances of soul crushing amoral behavior from this group of entrepreneurs than just about any other group.
I wrote about this a while back, relating my experiences of spending months documenting an SRE operations team [1].

Since then I've learned that there's an optimum time to document, and it's not early in the project. That led me to look at the Cynefin framework [2], which prods you to classify where you are on the maturity scale of an activity, which in turn gives you a clearer idea of what to do next.

The corollary (and I've experienced this a few times since) is that it's a waste of time to document early in the maturity cycle, as much changes; too fast for your docs to keep pace. It's like imposing an enterprise HR function on a small startup - incongruous and likely to lead to friction.

Picking the right time to start taking documentation seriously is an interesting problem.

It's also worth pointing out that all the Abrahamic religions predict a 120-year limit, which prediction dates back thousands of years (Genesis 6:3). So regardless of your opinion of Abrahamic religions, there are a lot of people who would care a great deal about verifying those extra three years!
The point of health insurance is that nobody should worry about the costs of regular maintenance and emergency service to their meatbag. Ever. As you point out, it costs much more if there is a for-profit organization in the middle.

Single-payer tax-funded health insurance means that each person contributes based on their capacity, and nobody has to pay when they receive services. Then the tax collector has an incentive to increase effectiveness of health services by educating and encouraging the population to eat well and exercise daily.
At least it's the kind of problem you can come back to and restart if the process dies in the middle. You're bulk deleting data so maintaining integrity isn't a concern.
The way the the ENS integration would work is the DNS request for vitalik.eth would end up at a Handshake Authoritative Name Server and then there are certain blacklisted top level domains (.onion, .tor, .i2p, .bit and a few others) where a client for that protocol is instantiated and then a request is sent out to the appropriate system and then the response would be formatted into a DNS query by the Handshake Name Server and sent back to the client.

Not implemented yet, but this is where one would implement it

I wish more projects would start with the old grad school approach of doin’ the literature review. Swashbuckling your way into a project usually means falling short of prior art. At a minimum it’s good to know what pitfalls are waiting for you before embarking.
Key point is the last paragraph:

Fortunately, Fixsen says, the lessons of implementation science are “completely generalizable”, and all programmes could benefit by noting the importance of engaged leadership, local adaptation and user buy-in. “It doesn't matter how good the innovation is, it doesn't matter how much has been invested,” says Fixsen. “If we don't have the implementation savvy, we're going to get the crummy outcomes that we have seen decade after decade.”

Backblaze is a pretty good deal. I'm currently trying to figure out if I should take my video files that I'm editing for my personal movies and store them on Backblaze (transmission time being the issue there) vs. getting a 10TB drive to put them on or a ZFS array, vs. just deleting the source. The latter has a very competitive price. :-D

CubeSat Highlights from the SmallSat Conference Workshops
That's the headline that Reuters gave it. What specific evidence do you have the Reuters has an institutional bias that makes it into the editorial process resulting in a headline?

Without going into the particulars of your response, it is irrelevant in this case. What is at issue is that the president accused Google of a crime. Tech may have a bias, so then it should be possible to follow the law and charge Google with a crime and submit evidence for the case. Don't you understand how serious it is for the president to extrajudicially threaten people with prosecution?

Side note: it is a useful tool of extremists to accuse specific members of the majority of "bias". The tech community is large and diverse, and is mostly representative of society on the whole.

The minimum loss ratio in the ACA sets a minimum for how much is paid out as claims. New buildings don't count toward meeting the requirement.
Before clicking on the link, I guessed Switzerland would be ahead of the US, and I was right. Switzerland has ACA-like mandatory insurance that's even more expensive than ACA.

Notice how for the US the article doesn't even mention the upper bound for specialists. That's because there is none, and they expect that.

GPs are quite affordable, if it was just the GPs I wouldn't mind paying them $200-300 directly for a visit. But the specialists can really get you crying for mercy, especially if there's no insurance company between you and them.

I broke a leg a few years ago, and if I did not have insurance, the cost to me would be $55K (probably more, this doesn't count the follow-up visits). Surgery alone was $30K+ for about 2 hours of work, not including cost of anesthesia ($5K). Insurance got the total down to about $7K, which is still a lot of money for a relatively run-of-the-mill surgery. Cost to me was my deductible: $1K.
FYI, the author trained a model to recognize what symbol your hand is making, not a model for ideal play.

Identifying the hands is pretty slick, but I'd actually find a model of ideal play to be even slicker, because there is no "optimal strategy" for RPS, but there is an "optimal strategy" against each individual opponent. Making an AI that can learn that strategy would be pretty impressive.
I worry that this is the classical HN analysis: axiomatically derived from premises that seem intuitively true but are empirically false.

So, to start with, the ACA lowered the rate of growth in health insurance premiums. If it had done nothing else, you'd ostensibly still be better off with it. But it did more than that: it also provides Americans with guaranteed-issue insurance, which did not exist previously. What people in general seem not to understand about health insurance rates is that they've been skyrocketing since the early 2000s. Employers have been having uncomfortable conversations about health benefits long before the ACA.

More broadly: health insurance isn't expensive because it pays for day-to-day care. Health costs are dominated by chronic illness and inpatient/outpatient procedures, not the overhead of people visiting their GPs.

I'm sorry you had an insurance policy you liked that the ACA killed off. But huge numbers of policies, including from health insurance giants, were abusive: they were marketed (effectively!) as real solutions, but had exclusions and coverage caps that made them worth very little if you actually wound up in a situation where you truly needed insurance. We're better off without those policies.
hmmmmm.... that some very specific similarities... almost too specific.
We don't see them trying to change anything on the chain with bitcoin - just trace people (and law enforcement has gotten pretty good at that to be fair). They seize wallets from people they arrest, like normal cash / assets, or get a court order to get companies holding the coin to hand them over, if the accused used a hosted wallet.

Totally agree. The reviews are really biased and quite worthless. I’ve been building a website/app in my spare time https://wuzgud.app

The whole idea is that you only put in places that you love, because nobody cares about places you found average. I have this dream that one day there’d be this whole positive community of people just sharing places that they love.
