The one drawback to audition interviews is that they can be influenced by the same kinds of social biases of any interview. "blind" auditions of this type are very difficult, and somewhat impractical, to achieve. They can also be a problem if the job they are interviewing for doesn't have a performative aspect similar to the performance found in the interview. For example, if the only presentation they are ever going to make is in the interview, it's not obvious if a "good" performance indicates fitness for the position.
Medicare and VA, while not perfect, are both well-run and extremely popular. So yes, the US government is in fact capable of handling healthcare.
Nope, Zeloof got most of the stuff on Craigslist and Ebay. The big stuff is usually pretty old, and alot is hacked together (e-beam stepper) or custom built entirely (sputtering chamber, or whatever the plasma machine is called I forget).
How is this measuring pressure? Changes in brightness could just be more flexible veins or some other attribute being measured than pressure. Without more info, this seems too good to be true.
Too bad anyone can access your stamp if you simply lose it. When I first saw the stamp thing for myself, I couldn't fathom how anyone would consider that secure. Better than a signature? Maybe. But easily reproducible and too tangible to consider safe.
> unbroken spine on your Godel Escher Bach

I've read most of it, some parts several times, over the years.

But my spine is unbroken. Here's how:

Open about 20 pages and run your finger firmly down the gutter. Flip 20 pages and repeat until you get to the center of the book. Next, start at the back and repeat, moving towards the center. Then repeat the whole exercise.

While you are reading, occasionally run your finger down the gutter. If you do this, you'll never break a spine, and those massive paperbacks will lie open on the table.

An iPhone makes a good book weight, almost as good as Levenger's.
> Also what makes these public killings so notable is the fact that it was a deliberate effort of an entire society to instill fear into a minority. That you don't see very often.

I prefer the version of history suggested by the last sentence, but unfortunately cannot accept it was accurate.

Looking around the world, I see it frequently and with broad geographic distribution. (Though it's not the whole society, just the dominant group, both in the immediate example and the general case across time and space.)
Obviously there are still children being born in South Korea, just less of them than in recent times.
The MVC pattern is basically what you end up with a naive implementation of a GUI interface. A more sophisticated solution is the plugin pattern where independent code can "plugin" by for example listening on events. It's kinda like MVC but backwards, instead of a button updating the view, the plugin/view listens for button-clicks. And if a server is involved, the view/plugins should listen for events sent by the server. Where each little plugin/component do it's own thing independently. If you for example have a "new messages" badge that shows both new messages and new chat messages, it should listen for new messages and new chat messages!! versus the spaghetti-strategy of having both the messages model/widget and the chat model/widget update the new-messages widget.
The article did not mention what to me is the saddest aspect of suicide in South Korea. This is amongst the retired old folk. They don't want to be a burden on the world and their family, there isn't a lot of state support for them and so they take some nasty pesticides, hang themselves or poison themselves by carbon monoxide.

When they were young they looked after their grandparents, but, with family sizes not being what they were and with people moving away for jobs etc. they don't have a surplus of children or grandchildren (or great grandchildren) around to look after them. Hence the particularly tragic ending.

Not sure why the article cites the '...not enough social media followers' reason for suicide when the tragedy with the old folk is a bigger phenomenon.
There are some ideas floating about but nothing concrete and reliable just yet.
If someone tells you the Earth is flat, would you really attempt debating them? Or a very aggressive extreme antivaxer?

There is a level of intellectual honesty necessary on both sides for a debate to be meaningful. When something has been so thoroughly debunked and it is still waived as an argument it is hard to believe that honesty is present.
The concern probably isn't the acidity, but the heavy metals and other toxins in the solutions. Pouring tpxins down the drain isn't a good idea.
Maybe we could. Or maybe we'd run it like the VA.

[Edit: enraged_camel said that the VA is pretty good. Is that accurate? I've heard otherwise, but I don't know firsthand. If the VA example isn't accurate, though, replace it with "California high speed rail" or "Amtrak" or "the Department of Education".]

It doesn't have to mean incompetent and inefficient, but it seems that it often does.
Wow, very cool. I've been wanting to get into hardware for a while now. Well just as long as I have been in programming to be honest which is about 10 years or so now. So as the useful things I can learn start petering off in programming for me I think I will be diving into hardware as a hobby. I have been doing some robot stuff with me niece, but not as much as I would like. But this article and spectramax's comment I think has kind of warmed that little ember of curiosity in it again.

Thanks.

I don't think there's anything wrong with buying books that you intend to read in the future. I do this all the time, and when I want something new to read I pick something off of the shelf. There are worse things to buy than books.
You don't seem very familiar with our system of production, distribution, and consumption of food. The government is _very_ involved in all aspects of this. They intervene on the supply side to guarantee prices for commodities. They intervene on the demand side by directly subsidizing 10% of consumers. The federal government inspects all meat, fish, and poultry packed in this country. There is a USDA agent filing a market report every morning from every produce terminal in America. The government maintains a detailed database on soil conditions across the nation. The USDA alone has over 100000 employees. The government also funds a nationwide system of agricultural universities, extensions, and bureaus through the land grant program.

I think if you want to pick some aspect of American life that is free of government involvement, you started in the wrong place.
> Are you sure that if we did what you suggest we wouldn't have a whole different set of monstrous absurdities?

Most people on Medicare are generally quite happy with it. The idiocies generally start when the government let private companies get involved (Medicare Part D).

In addition, the person who brought "socialized medicine" to Canada is regarded as as a hero.

> Mr. Stackpole said only a limited number of Americans were willing — even with a financial incentive — to travel abroad, because most perceive the care won’t be as good.

this meme that the US has the best and brightest in everything and nobody else holds a candle is both hilarious and depressing. it is now costing people their lives and creating financial ruin, but it seems that US health parasites are still pumping it.

No. They all go through the same ISP. And through the same initial VPN, because simultaneously using multiple VPNs would be unusual. But after that, I branch out to multiple VPN chains, and multiple Whonix instances.

> Take away the moral connotations for a second. If a country's population does not reproduce, tautologically, it will die off.

Technically, yes. At anything less than 2 births per woman (actually a bit more than that due to deaths before reproduction) a country will experience exponential decay, which approaches zero as time goes to infinity.

An exponential decay in population is a lot less disruptive than exponential rise. The former introduces difficulties like an inverted population pyramid, and countries that experience it will have to make tough choices around restructuring social security and pensions. But exponential population increases create shortages of basic necessities like water and space. I don't think it's coincidence that educated wealthy countries tend to have dropping population growth.
But is it acceptable to dump wastewater with Cu+/Cl- ions inside? I've read that according to some regulations in some areas, they are considered pollutants and should not be dumped directly to the drainage.

Or is it something you can just ignore, because at the end of the day everything goes to a wastewater treatment plant, and your volume/concentration is too low to be considered hazardous, and actually not more harmful than the wastewater of commercial chemical cleaners, and well within the wastewater processing capabilities for small volumes?

Can anyone give an authoritative answer to this question?
What’s the support behind this atm? I’ve read about this for some time, and it’s pretty much a no-brainer, but I haven’t seen any politician speak about it yet.
And the first people to be hit hardest by the destruction of marine ecosystems will be the poorest people on earth who depend on fishing for survival. The HN community will be largely unaffected till many millions have died so it is easy for people to have views like the GP comment if they lack empathy for the less fortunate.

Now is not a time for flippant comments about the robustness of life and nature "in general". Now is a time for very radical and drastic action to prevent even worse outcomes than the terrors which humans who are alive now are already guaranteed to face.
All of the UK power plants that were affected by the Large Combustion Plant directive have since been closed permanently. The last one, Ironbridge, closed in November 2015.

All remaining coal-fired power stations are legally required to close by 2025, but that's a UK decision, not an EU one. In reality they are being used less and less already, and most are likely to close well before 2025.
Nominal voltage in the US is 120 volts. It hasn't been 110 volts since the 1970s.

My point is that I'd like all these companies to do their best to treat these purchases as if they were anonymous. But your point about VAT rules is a valid issue that might have wider implications about the general necessity to store data.

Yes, you still have VAT records to keep. You also need to prove that you provided all required information to the customer under the consumer protection rules or you can end up having to refund everything going back quite a long time. All these protection rules require accompanying record-keeping as evidence of compliance, which unfortunately is going to undermine your hope to make even simple transactions anonymous in many cases.

that's absolutely not an issue, that might be the case for card-not-present transactions but for as long as I can remember every single pizza courier or similar would use a wireless terminal to get a chip&pin (or now contactless) card-present authorisation which can't really be disputed in this way.

Do you often go into a pizza place and witness a card present transaction to pay for a delivery order? :-)
Have to agree... I sometimes get messages transcribed with phone numbers VERY different from the spoken phone number that gets injected. Kind of embarrassing at times when I just click to followup with someone.

Aside: been really scared of losing GV, been a user since it was Grand Central before Google's buyout. May have to bookmark this post to look at some of the mentioned alternatives. I wouldn't mind paying like $5/month or so if I can find a decent option, but definitely need short code support.
Well they are owned by PayPal so no surprise there.
Nothing like trying to buy something on eBay and getting the transaction blocked for potential fraud, calling support and literally being told that there is nothing they can do about it and there is no way to complete the transaction. Thank god there are other payment processors that aren’t complete trash
Lithium ion is so cheap these days I'm stunned this project resorted to using inefficient and out-dated lead acid batteries.
Why are people so surprised? This is a great story and everyone should do it. The US system is gridlocked regulatory capture by scammers scamming scammers. Anything to route around it is a great idea.

In Japan I had no insurance, but my shoulder bothered me so I walked in to see my doctor the next morning (no appointment, $100), he scheduled an MRI for the next day ($300), and two days later I paid extra to talk to the radiologist($75) to see the damage up close. By the time I saw the surgeon the next week, I already knew I should do physical therapy instead of surgery. In the US this would have taken many weeks and thousands of dollars.

Meanwhile, back in Seattle, a doctor said "take this paper to the emergency desk to get a scan". Bad idea, that cost me $5500 and 8 hours of imprisonment. I couldn't leave after the scan, I waited hours longer for the doctor on duty to give a diagnosis (for a scan?), and of course she billed me separately for that.
Perhaps we could call it "Medicare" and it would be way more efficient than any of the private insurers.
The Verge: MoviePass reportedly changed account passwords
Yes, that is an issue. Each persona can share just a limited slice. But you could have multiple HN accounts, I think. Or at least, I see lots of throwaway usage. However, perhaps having multiple stable accounts violates the terms of use.
Despite all the structural crazy, two self-interested parties agreed to a mutually beneficial trade. That is, capitalism finds a way.
There is extensive science answering your question. Most of it is caused by humans and not other factors. If humans disappeared the co2 already in the atmosphere would still cause some warming but not nearly as much as if we continue to emit even more of it.
As a science person, have you heard of confirmation bias? How about the happy fundamentalist religious practices of marital rape or genital mutilation?
There are many different kinds of cameras for the RasPi - some have IR illumination and/or filters removed, others don't. Some allow interchangeable lens, others are "fixed".

Quality can vary depending on the camera. I have a RasPi Zero W camera at my home (monitoring my front door and patio) that runs MotionEyeOS:

https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneyeos

The camera is a tiny thing but 5 MP and color; quality has been very good in my opinion. Better than anything I could have bought at that price point (and certainly less intrusive - so many IP cameras require "cloud services" or something like that to work). Total cost for everything I used was well under $50.00 USD.

A cheaper option, which I am considering playing around with - but not as easy to set up - is this nice little module based around the ESP32:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32964004777.html

There are a few IP camera projects and github repos out there, but nothing anywhere near as polished as MotionEyeOS, yet.
I am getting close to a point where I think I just need to setup a separate gmail account for my relationship with Google.

My other communication: Use my existing gmail account

I could use two browsers, but it may be easier to just use 2 tabs in a single browser (I use firefox to access gmail).

Wonder if that will make life easier, or worse. Thoughts?

Should be of interest to anybody interested in this, Joe Armstrongs Ph.D. thesis: http://erlang.org/download/armstrong_thesis_2003.pdf
uhm... you mean you are asking for this plot I found with a minute of googling (reputable sources referenced): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attribution_of_recent_climate_...

Edit: here is a pretty cool interactive version of the plot https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2015-whats-warming-the-wo...

Edit 2: To the dead comment below, this is the whole point of "sources", something that actually refers to measurements/models/peer review, which all are fallible on their own, but together are fault-tolerant. Unlike the (rather small) petition you refer to that makes claim without any supporting data.
The landlord of the apartment I live in, disagrees with this statement.
Perhaps. But I think there's a genuine question about whether it was ever reasonable to believe that Uber was going to become a profitable company. Most of the claims I read/heard that there was a legitimate path to profitability amounted to "something something on a long enough timeline something something." We may well never find out if those claims are true. After Uber is dead I'm sure there will be many wishful retrospectives full of counterfactual arguments about "if only Uber had done such and such instead," but we'll never know if those are true, either.
Thankfully, the trend seems to be towards a much greater tolerance of vacation time and an increased willingness to actually take vacation. I credit the millennials for this new attitude, as their clout in the workplace gradually supplants the tedious boomer philosophy that time off of any kind is something to be avoided at all costs.

And the author makes a good point that giving workers time off can reveal things about your organization. They mention sussing out a morale-sinking middle-manager, but you could also view it is a general stress test for your team/company. It's good to know if one or two absences slow things to a halt, or if one individual is too indispensable to be gone for even a few days. After all, people get ill, injured or just quit from time to time. Better to have periodic absences be a natural part of your organization that you learn to handle, instead of crisis every time.
At the rate we are going, whoever finally brings Medicare to everyone in the US will be regarded as a hero as well. I have what qualifies as pretty good coverage by US standards and I still won't shed a single tear when it gets replaced with single payer. In fact I look forward to having more flexibility to switch jobs or start my own business without having that consideration.
It's not so much that I haven't heard of them. It's more that none of them seem very effective or reliable.

"There is no way to convert heat to electricity directly, unfortunately."

Well, if you have enough heat, you can boil water and then use the steam to turn a turbine... I suppose in some sense this is dependent on a temperature difference, but I wouldn't call the amount of electricity we get by this method 'small.'
I feel that this reverses cause and consequence - in this scenario it's not that this lynching would damage the belief in the legal process, but rather than the lynching happened because of (justified) disbelief in the legal process.

My dude, we have no idea how bad climate change is going to hit us, automation is going to put tons of people out of jobs, there is a loneliness crisis, the gap between rich amd poor is bigger than its ever been, western countries are more divided than ever before, people are checking out of reality, social bonds are all but nonexistent, ecosystems are collapsing on the regular, birth, gender relations are the worst they've been in centuries, fertility rates are plummeting, we're on the brink of another recession, the nazis are back, China is building the most authoritarian nation ever devised, I'm not even close to done.

I highly doubt we're going to get past 2050 without the foundations of society collapsing.
