However, codedokode's concerns are utterly irrelevant. Vast majority of Moscow voters won't use this system, neither care whether the election is scientifically legitimate. Those who do have a presumption of guilt wrt Voting Committee (for a thousand good reasons). As a Moscow sociologist put it: "a political party with 30% support aims to get 90% in the City Duma. How would they do that? Obviously, by cheating and violence".

Thus, codedokode's concerns have no meaning inside Russia, and outside they serve only the purpose intended by the creators of all this: for foreigners to scorn imperfect system, and be relieved when they update it to something passable, for the same ultimate effect - steal the election.

I've been trying to figure out if there's an alternate ... game that could be played in order to find actual pricing for procedures ex post facto. My original (and I know this doesn't work) thought was some sort of competitive billing procedure. It would work like this:

1. After a procedure K is performed & the payee sends a request to billing for $M;

2. The payer can request "co-bids" from other sources;

3. The co-bidder "X" that bids the least/best gets the money (say, $N < $M);

4. But! "X" now guarantees to accept $N for that procedure K for the next (or some single future) procedure K they perform.

Obviously, a co-bidder could bid $N for procedure K with no intention to ever perform procedure K again, amongst other nefarious things.

Atlassian has a major flaw in their understanding of how a lot of developers work and it is evident by all heir "new" versions of stuff. They've made simple editing harder (WYSIWYG only, which often makes bad assumptions), made drastic changes to the UI, broken workflows, removed keyboard shortcuts and made it impossible to open an issue full page by clicking a linkbun the web app without first loadingbit as an overlay. They are, hands down, the worst offender of "if it ain't broke, fix it 'til it is" that I've ever seen. I'm constantly advocating for anything else in every org I work with. An issue tracker doesn't need to be full of sugar, it needs to be simple and consistent. Atlassian fails magnificently at both of those.

More about what the project should be. Projects are about solving problems. Problems can be big and split into smaller ones. Which subset of a problem do I pick?

E.g. I wanted to make a random world generator. Continents and terrain are often done. Culture generators have been done too. Plots are rarely done, and they're the easiest, but aren't particular interesting on their own. Plots needed interesting characters. Character generation is common, but rarely clicks. So what flaws in existing character generators are easiest to tackle?

This whole process took me about 3 months before I got it down to a dropdown and a button. Before that it was endless iteration and experiments that went in a direction that wasn't particularly interesting, or too difficult.

Anything worth doing has nobody else go down the same path. So you start to question whether it's the right path and worth dedicating energy to.

> There are namespaces, you just don't see them. That's why there's python and python3, cmake and cmake2 (IIRC) etc.

IMO python and python3 is a very welcome feature not a negative side effect of no namespaces. At call time it's super explicit so you know exactly what version you're using.

But in most module driven programming languages you might import the foo function at the top of your file and then use foo in 5 different places within that file. However, you spend 99% of your time working with the code in the file not glancing at imports, so now you're left wondering not only where foo is coming from, but who provided foo. Is it from the standard library, your own code base or a third party author? Suddenly you need to keep all of this in your head and it sucks.

Phoenix (a web framework for Elixir) has been taking steps to remove a lot of loose function imports so you know what module they are coming from at call time, but that's because Elixir as a language has modules. But even still, explicitness where you're using it is so much better in the long run for maintenance, even if it involves typing a few more characters.
A lot more people are literate and we have lots of libraries everywhere. So for that to happen there would have to be a complete directed effort to abandon learning. By all countries. It’s highly unlikely even if we had a catastrophic natural disaster like an asteroid hit taking out or majorly degrading infrastructure.

Such an event on the contrary would probably prompt the most able country left to seek to become the leader (technically and politically) by taking the opportunity to best those left in a worse state.

I've had a pretty good run of calling the MS support line and getting them to reactivate if Win10 deactivates due to a hardware change. Takes 5 minutes, maybe. Occasionally if you're on an upgraded-from-win7 or 8.1 OEM license the service agent will tell you that it can't be done for OEMs but hanging up, calling back and getting a less fastidious agent on the line is easily done.
Agreed, though - paying 3 times for the same software would be insane, especially at MS prices

> Part of their (written) agreement with Google is that none of the analytics data generated from Mozilla properties will contribute towards Google's tracking database.

Do they really think people are that naive?
I have some experience with these datasets and this topic (and anecdotal experience with physicians) and I don't think this will provide anything useful. Essentially, physicians are still incentivized to bill the code that provides them with the largest reimbursement. And, the physicians are incentivized to bill for any possible code they can. What I think the dataset will provide, then, is a good look at negotiations between the physician and the government--not "what will it cost to heal me?"

In addition, health centers may very well have a policy to simply charge uninsured more for every procedure. That may be because they "negotiate with insurers for better rates" or "know that the uninsured are more risky and won't pay, so we should charge more."

The "best" thing to do, unfortunately, is call around. For a recent cut to my head, I had to call a dozen places to find the best price. I was "insured" but hadn't met my deductible yet so I'd be paying cash. Ranged anywhere from a quoted price of $850 to $120. Pays to call around.

Calling around, of course, won't be helpful if the agent misquotes you, your insurance company screws up your paperwork, or it's actually out of network.
> Have you ever met a single person in your life who was fluent or at least good conversational in Esperanto but could not speak English?

Yes, definitely. When I was active in the Esperanto movement in the 1990s and early millennium, a huge amount of the Eastern Europeans who attended congresses or hosted foreigners through the movement's hospitality-exchange system had little or no English skills. They had learned Russian, German, or French in school, not English. This was also the case for some Esperantists from francophone nations of Africa; some of those countries were historically so fixated on French as the international language that English teaching in schools took off only recently.

Nowadays the younger generations of Esperantists are likely to speak English, but to judge from photos, the crowd attending the main annual Esperanto congress is generally pretty geriatric, so that older generation without English is still commonly met.

> There are namespaces, you just don't see them. That's why there's python and python3, cmake and cmake2 (IIRC) etc.

That's a versioning issue, that would happen with namespaces too. You'll have to disambiguate somehow and if a version number is the natural way, then that's the natural way regardless of if a single name or namespaced.

Keeping the next incompatible version as a separate thing (eg python vs python3, instead of continuing python but with semvers saying that 3.0 breaks 2.x compatibility) is actually a good idea. It leads to fragmentation, sure, but it makes dealing with the different versions easier IMHO and incompatible versions may as well be totally different things anyway.

> With functions it's worse. In a flat namespace you will inevitably run into a problem of two people coming up with the same name.

You may not want to make games that look like those he makes, but that doesn't mean there isn't something (probably quite a lot) you could learn from him about integrating mechanics and world design.

Radiation Free Imaging
Multi-Sequence Details: It stands among the most comprehensive & advanced imaging method, which incorporates can several complicated imaging sequences to best adapt to suit your complaints.
Soft Tissue Demarcation: MRI offers much better soft tissue demarcation than CT Scan and X-Rays

I'm thinking about how to export a theme to multiple platforms? Are there any tools for that?
I think that for one thing your comment could be argued in court to be libellous where you say it "could barely be called meat" for a second, you are the one who introduced the subject by making the above allegation.

You made a comment and you are being rebutted.

That's how civilised people operate, if you do not want to engage the rebuttal then you don't have to, but to respond with "Why do you even care." is shortsighted, it calls into question your own motives which from your second comment, are clearly tied to your own beliefs

your statement "I don't need a citation to think that is disgusting" shows that you were opining in your original comment, not stating fact and therefore their rebuttal of your opinion being placed in response to your attempt to disguise opinion as fact is in fact exactly on topic

"So they're actually doing the right thing in 2019 and replacing part of their product with non-meat" this points to your belief that "the right thing" is to "not eat (as much / any) meat" which is again opinion, "I hope it goes all the way" again, showing your opinion.

Now this is not to say you don't have the right to say what you will, or to comment as you like, I'm just highlighting that you are making a poor argument over this and have damaged your credibility. If you were trying to convince us that the meat is poor or that the concept and production is generally a negative thing (can't say i disagree, its horrifying what people will put into their bodies on a regular basis) you have harmed your own position by not responding with counter facts, or simply acknowledging that you were only opining and guiding the conversation onto the ideological side.

I hope you don't take this as a personal attack. Rather a walkthrough of your comment, and how it likely did not have the effect you wanted it to.

In some cases yes, they did and had & tried to squash that competition. Less so today, since there's little competition where they dominate, but MS for example has a well documented history of doing just that[1].
