Handshake is for top level domains. You can do quick updates using traditional DNS infrastructure at a domain underneath a Handshake top level domain. The benefit is that you have a cryptographic asset representing the top level domain, the root of trust comes from you, value can accrue in the asset itself, its tradable with non interactive atomic swaps and is censorship resistant.

Of course it goes to the customers. To keep things simple, it goes to all customers, not just the ones harmed in that instance.
> it made it far, far more expensive.

isn't that the point of insuring uninsured people and ending preexisting condition coverage. if the agreement is "hey we need to cover riskier people because its the right human thing to do" costs are going to go up. thats the trade off. in this case, you being angry that costs went up shouldnt be directed towards government inefficiency. costs ballooned because coverage expanded (and age banding aka community rating, which is similar, agreeing to cap elderly costs and having young people pay. and everyone under 26 being a child, consuming but not paying in.)

anyone paying attention going into the aca, knew that costs would go up for healthy people over 26 but not yet retired. (democrats did do _a bit_ of lying about costs going down for everyone and being able to keep existing plans, to get it passed, a fib they admit.) if you are a part of that range, and you voted for the law knowing all this, you were either being compassionate, or hedging that someday you might fall into an uninsured condition situation, or both.
The problem with privatized healthcare is that it's not a problem which market forces will solve naturally. Sure for some things, like elective surgeries (lasik for example) or routine dental care, people can shop around, and prices will reach a sane level. But the majority of healthcare does not work like that.

For instance, in the case of lifesaving treatments, the demand is essentially infinite, and this is a fact which Pharmaceutical companies use to raise the cost of treatment to astronomical levels. When the alternative to expensive treatment is death, there is simply no countervailing market force to bring costs down.

The same goes for pre-existing conditions. It may have been fine for you and your wife to pay for a reasonably-priced high deductible plan, but without the ACA, that simply would not be an option for a huge number of people. Without government regulation, there is absolutely no incentive for an insurance company to cover a chronically ill or high-risk individual. The rational way to operate that type of business in order to maximize profit would be to cover healthy people only, and remove anyone from your coverage who is likely to file a large claim, and we have seen this come to pass.
To nit pick, it's not really a bet from the insurers point of view. The idea is that they operate on a scale where they know the total cost they will have to pay out in any given year is less than what they charge in premiums. The key is operating on a big enough scale that they can forecast their costs accurately enough to be able to set their premiums to always make a profit.

With that in mind, from a consumer point of view I prefer to look at it as buying peace of mind rather than betting against the insurer (because in the long term the insurer will always win).

Some of my favorite restaurants no longer exist because they weren't discovered. So I'd just caution that that feeling of having one's personal list of hidden gems may not align with the interests of the people that run those places.
That said, I really dislike the 'best-of-both-worlds' argument for mixing OO and FP.

I'm not making that argument. I'm making the observation that over time, upon collision with the enterprise or real world, all Functional Programming environments seem to develop OO features, and most Object Oriented environments either have or embrace FP features.

It's the same story with null. I finally got rid of that - why would I want to become 'pragmatic' and get null back?

I think it's possible to get rid of null. However, I don't think it's possible to get rid of Objects in FP. They always seem to return in some form, disguised by nifty and abstruse terminology and mechanisms. It's not some rosy "best of both worlds" situation. It's more or a realist, well, I guess we're stuck with things from here and there.

Despite the "almost a field" having its disfunctions, three decades of programming language history and the efforts of countless geniuses likely means something, and this pattern of OO environments gaining FP features, and FP environments gaining (perhaps disguised) Objects persists across that.

The Markup Moves Forward
Funny story. My dad was a city planner for a small town who also ran the inspections department.

He would get frequent letters and calls from a particular citizen about inspection violations, who was kind of a pain in his ass.

So my dad hired him. And he became the best inspector he'd ever worked with.
Entirely horizontal touch screens have the same problems as trackpads/keyboard/mice (or piano playing) that they can have in terms of wrist strain/RSIs (including carpal tunnel), and sometimes elbow movement strain/RSIs (including things like "tennis elbow").

Vertical touch screens trade the more traditional wrist/elbow strain/RSIs for other arm/elbow/shoulder strain/RSIs (including things like "gorilla arm").

Given the nature of repetitive stress, the growing consensus seems to be not that one orientation is better than the other, but that a range of orientations, and a mixture of movement types / input methods is better. For instance, move your arm some to touch a vertical screen, to mix things up from mouse movements and keyboard movements.
I would propose a 3 tier system:

- You pay the first thousand or so a year out of pocket with an HSA-like vehicle to make sure people aren't overconsuming.

- Government program pays 100% of everything over like $20k or so a year

- Optional private insurance fills in the gap between the $1K out of pocket and the $20K where the government starts picking up the tab, and would be very affordable since their liability is capped at both ends.

They actually have something roughly similar to this in Singapore.
I really doubt anyone times their quitting to the start of the month. People just up and quit because they don't want to work.

Also, many health insurance plans from your employer don't start immediately. Sometimes you have to tiptoe around for 90 days until you get coverage.

For a layman this was incredibly interesting. The speaker explains the concepts very well.
Eh, there's more to it than this. 'Basic' is also the perspective that we're really just animals working to survive. That we're all just dipshits cluttering up the world while we attempt to assemble some kind of respectable way of living. No cynicism here - I feel a real kinship to others when I'm in this mood, rather than caught up in high-mindedness - which can be fun, too, of course.

I think the fact that she terms it 'basic' rather than 'anti-intellectual' makes it less reactionary - a baseline humanity that joins all of us. I think even the term 'American anti-intellectualism' is a misnomer, considering that ancient figures such as Jesus or Buddha were in this vein - preferring terse wisdom to chains of detailed jargon. They spoke in 'basic', in a way.
Are you perhaps in the Bay Area? Yelp has a very strong presence in the Bay Area. However, when I travel to the EU and outside of California, I notice that the quality/quantity of reviews from Yelp vs Google is reversed. People advised me to find restaurants using Google Maps instead. Restaurants owners also put up sign asking to be rated on Google.
Google Voice spent many years being neglected, but it is now getting heavy investment as part of Gsuite. This change to kill extension and SMS transcripts is actually part of moving to the next generation platform which has improved call quality and reliability. The features are quite niche and were likely deemed not worth keeping in the new version of the product.

There is no serious competitor to Google Voice, so please add it to your Gsuite contracts so that Google keeps it around.
They obviously aren't going to stop the moment EU declares a cease to rescue operations. It will need to taper off, which will mean death in the short term.

Brain Scanning Revolutionizes Psychiatry (2013)
A while back I built something exactly like this (except it asked every 15 minutes, and as a desktop app that could unobtrusively pop up in the corner of a monitor instead of requiring browser attention). It also asked what I expected to accomplish in the next 15 minutes, so I'd have something to look back on 15 minutes from now to compare to.

At least for me, it was more an exercise in focus, breaking tasks down to smaller chunks, practicing estimations, and analyzing larger spans of time, rather than just being a tool to force me into actually working through those 15 minute segments. It was really nice to have a bit of self-reflection imposed every 15 minutes to see how my expectations of time use were stacking up against the reality. I don't think I would have wanted to spend the time or cognitive effort to revisit screenshots after the fact, when I've lost context and would have to take more time to analyze what's happening in each screenshot and extrapolate between them.

If I were in the zone and working on something that took longer than 15 minutes (which is pretty frequent for most people, I'd guess), I could see this format as pretty nagging and I wouldn't want the interruption. But there's also a reason I only do 15-minute pomodoro sprints. :)
by just pictures Intel spring pins are shorter and broader on the base side and with a steep rising angle. These look (quite) longer and with a lower rising angle.
I guess these pins are more feeble and imprint less force than CPU spring pins.

The agile manifesto warned against comprehensive documentation. I don't think many of today's developers have ever been in an organization that seriously tried to be comprehensive? In the old days, some computer software came with a shelf of books. Often they were quite badly written, but official.
I wonder if that would still be true, though, if "bliss" wasn't a default Windows wallpaper. In other words, you're still referring to common pictures, you're just particularly biased to one in particular that you've seen a lot.

I haven't done the experiment, but I'd posit that if you walked up to a group of 8-year-old children, gave them crayons, and asked them to draw pictures of "rolling hills", a significant portion would add sheep, cows, flowers, or some other details—even though a majority of rolling hills in the world don't have any of these features.
Isn't Amazon teaming up with Berkshire Hathaway and JP Morgan to do something similar? I'm sure they have enough lobbying firepower to survive external threats.

I read that the announcement caused other health care stocks shed billions in value. I hope they succeed and actually provide something useful. It makes sense that other companies wouldn't want their paychecks being sapped away by health insurance.
"The New Atlantis" is not a peer review publication. It's, by its own description, a "small journals of ideas". Very far from "actual research".
> even in his day you couldn't just decide to be a lawyer one day with any effectiveness.

In his day (and in the modern world) people pretty freely move between roles within the intelligentsia but for legal constraints (which while notionally justified by consumer/public protection are often in no small part protectionist measures to maximize income of incumbents and restrict competing supply) and often hack around the legal constraints, too, (hanging out shingles in various “wellness” or un-/less-regulated alternative fields to evade regulation of health/medical work, for instance.)

This is very cool! It took us months to build the equivalent tooling for reddit (except we were using crowd sourced translations instead of machine based ones).

Do your clients do local caching, or is my uptime dependent on your uptime (unless I code in my own caching I suppose)?
To suggest that modern imagination and the recursive thinking necessary for language evolved _after_ humans started making complex tools (which required hierarchical recursive processes to make) is, to me, dubious. The tool-creation/language similarity was commented upon recently [0].

I don't like the incentives that things like "starred" users (aka local guides) creates. I feel like it's only a matter of time before they become the G Maps version of "influencers", who get paid to post glowing reviews.

I'm much more likely to trust reviews from regular users. They don't have to be well written, just descriptive enough for me to make a decision.

That's just not true:

Page 131 of the ACA bill:

"In the case of any failure by a taxpayer to timely pay any penalty imposed by this section, such taxpayer shall not be subject to any criminal prosecution or penalty with respect to such failure."
Often you need to return error objects. Consider a function for parsing something. You want to return not only the error code, but also the line and column number of the parse error, and a description of it. So you need two output parameters; one for the result and one for the error. Your declaration becomes something like this:

bool parse(inp_type *a, out_type **b, out_error **c);

where the return value false indicates an error. In C++, you'd just have written something like:

out_type parse(const inp_type& a);

and thrown an exception on error.

Approx four or five years ago I had an accidental/random conversation with one of the prominent researchers at the Princeton facility (PPPL). Long to short, he said, "We're getting there. The more funding we have, the sooner we'll get there. But yeah, we're really close."

Mind you, that's what any research scientist would say. But everything I've seen and read since tells me he's was being honest and has been accurate. I hope he's right.

Exactly. If you look at the rating for a McDonald's, the rating is "how clean is the bathroom and does the ice cream machine work?"
Insurance is the type of thing that I believe the Blockchain could really solve: Instead of paying a "for profit" company, let's create a set of smart contracts where we can execute the payments (transfers) to a "concentration" account, and when someone needs to cover medical costs, we transfer from that account to the person in need.

We can have third-party "evaluators" that anonymously evaluate and guarantee the reality of the medical claim, and let the network approve or reject the claim based on those evaluations.
So you advocate a middle path?
I don't think the connector is the problem but the devices you connect to. RPis are notorious for having a poor lifespan due to reading/writing from the SD cards, but I think that's mostly due to the cost tier of a $30 computer.
>Some companies simply aren't meant to be billion dollar companies, yet raise money as if they will be.

Well, according to some quick searches the founders seem to be doing pretty alright by themselves. It depends if your objective for founding a company is "do something useful" or "get filthy rich as soon as possible"
Actually I can and have system engineered ultra-reliable production systems which ran over ten years without issues: I'd come back to work at a former employer and the system would still be there, serving. This was not an isolated scenario.

One cannot build highly available systems and networks on unreliable, lying software. Basic guarantees are required. If one has 10,000 systems and one loses power on even a portion of such lying systems without basic guarantees, no amount of distribution will guarantee data consistency. I'm no stranger to building very large distributed clusters, but those builds start with an operating system and software which do not overcommit and which are paranoid about data integrity and correctness of operation. In fact, I'm specialized in designing such networks and systems, from hardware to storage all the way up to application software.
I am in the Bay Area, but my biggest use case is when I travel outside the area.

I agree with you though, Yelp totally breaks down outside of the USA. Seems to work pretty well within the US though. We found some great places in Wyoming near Yellowstone for example.

> as the chain gets bigger, that time has potential to increase

I don't see how this follows at all.

The slowing transaction incorporation times for major cryptocurrencies is related to transaction volume, not to the total size of the chain to date. Presumably a system restricted to updated HNS entries would not encounter anywhere near the same transaction volume.
Yeah I've been thinking same, possibly a UAV dirigible for the mothership. That would be cool.
I'm not sure what you mean by that; but I think people like this author fantasize about extreme life changes when one of their core needs as a human isn't being met. It's generally better to identify and satisfy that need, instead of taking a huge leap in the opposite of your current direction.
Ask HN: Iranian (By Passport) Co-Founder – Potential Issues?
I'm considering to start a company with an Iranian co-founder (he has an Iranian passport) and given all the media attention, sanctions, and recent GitHub blocking of Iranians, I am now concerned that it might cause issues with fundraising to have an Iranian person on the cap-table.

It's not just insurance companies that are a problem, and that's a common but annoying oversimplification. Other countries (such as Japan, Germany, and Switzerland) integrate private insurers without the massive cost overruns of the American model. It looks to me like there's a systemic feedback loop somewhere that leads to price inflation. And if private insurers aren't the root cause of that feedback loop, then getting rid of them won't solve the problem.

Example: I suffer from a rare chronic illness (respiratory papillomatosis, aka warts on my vocal cords) that requires regular laser surgery treatments to control - two to four times a year. Until recently, treatment consisted of going to the specialist's office, where he had the laser and endoscopy camera. He conducted the operation with two assistants - a laser tech and an ordinary nurse. I was in and out in an hour.

But my most recent treatment was different. This time, I had to go to their "surgical center", wear a gown, get wheeled to the room, and there were a half-dozen assistants that were mostly not doing anything. I had to wear a blood pressure cuff, which kept retriggering when I wiped away tears during the treatment (it HURTS and tears of pain happen). I complained to the doctor about this, and he didn't like it either, and said flat out he thinks they do this to charge more money.

This isn't a dangerous surgery. It's as unpleasant as it sounds, but... it's wart removal. I'm not under general anesthesia. I'm not going to stroke out. He can't kill or even seriously injure me with that laser. The old, simple office-based routine was better for patient and for doctor - and a lot less expensive, I'm sure. And that's the point there, isn't it?

So there's your feedback loop, maybe. Insurance companies can be hit on to cover even unnecessary work, so providers tack on unnecessary work, which raises premiums, which means more money is available, so...

Swap has a side effect that's not very nice: It makes memory non-deterministic, as disk is non-deterministic.

Linux does unfortunately have serious issues to do with peaks of latency which make it behave horribly with realtime tasks such as pro audio. It's so bad that it's often perceiveable in desktop usage.

linux-rt does mitigate this considerably, but it's still not very good.
