> So conservative pundits have made open war on it, to the nations serious detriment. They could instead work to lower the price of education but that is absolutely not the agenda for the same reasons.

What? Conservatives have been advocates of school choice (shown to reduce the price of education) for decades. Conservatives have not made open war on education at all. Conservative pundits themselves tend to be some of the most educated people. I mean, I'm pretty conservative, and graduated out of a top-ranked, intensive engineering school.
Pulumi would be perfect if the community edition was simply self hosted without support vs free with a single user only. At a stingy small org, I have no hope of ever using it instead of simply installing Terraform when the starter edition excludes secrets management and the API.
Cool idea. Also consider this transparent wood experiment: https://www.instructables.com/id/Transparent-Wood/
Clearly they used Amazon as a proxy for "place you can buy it".

The important part is being over-charged 900% over retail price, not the exact retailer you buy it from.

Also, it's a sling, not an anti-HIV drug. Hardly a "medical supply".
Because it's completely unrelated.
I think the most confusing part is trying to figure out the connection between the different streams/columns cause it's not obvious the effect that events from each individual bar has on any other bar (part of what the horizontal lines in a sequence diagram show). It's also not obvious which columns are Rx streams and which are inputs cause they're visualized the same way. Example 'window, window count, window time' demo has an 'openings' column that's interactive but you wouldn't know it unless you clicked on it, and I'm not exactly sure what it's an input to without having the time bar directly on an event and seeing other events that line up.

The fading doesn't have to work based on wall clock time. I'd probably start off with trying to make it fade over a distance of 10% of the screen height along the vertical time axis. But you could come up with a bunch of different ways to model your 0-1 fade boundaries.

‘The Irishman’ and the Cost of Doing Business with Netflix
This is one of the thousands of tiny abuses enabled by everyone carrying around a corporate surveillance device in their pocket.

Apple/Google could end this tomorrow by implementing permission systems that allowed users to change the data received by apps. A workable user friendly interface might be "location pinning", where you could check a box to store your current location and keep reporting that location until you said otherwise. And if app developers insisted on fighting back and inferring whether data wasn't noisy enough, the OS could easily step up its game by adding in synthesized drift, even across multiple users.

The problem is that smartphone OS developers are trying to serve two masters - their users, but also the surveillance-minded app developers. They're pretending it's possible to remain neutral in the face of a huge power disparity, but what they're actually doing is forcing the user to remain open to inspection by hostile code. Even LineageOS stonewalled the patches to support microG instead of simply accepting them into the state of the art and moving on!

If we as users want to be in control of our own devices (and for our society to not turn into a totalitarian shithole, we really do!), then we need to accept the worthiness of lying. No matter who it was written by, the code on a user's device should be working for the interests of the user. App developers already have a place to run the code that represents them - on their own servers.

I think there's a clear critique of Cassandra in there, in that it shouldn't even be possible to configure nodes to serve data they don't have.

Monzo... It's very hard to say. I think based on the contents of the blog post they acted reasonably and competently (yeah, the test rollout was a badly designed test, but that's easy to say post hoc). The only fair basis for critiquing Monzo would be if they had notably more averages than is 'typical', and we don't have the data or conceptual framework required to do that. As a customer, I can't think of risks that Monzo exposes you to that aren't also present with other banks. I bank with them ¯\ _(ツ)_/¯
Or better yet, get a herbal vaporizer.

Smoking still involves combustion, which burns it all (the bud, the paper, the adhesives on the paper). Hell, even a bowl or bong prevents carcinogen intake better than a joint.

Now about the actual content of the article, how long is it going to take for feds to legalize and regulate cannabis? The fact that it's still schedule 1 just shows how inefficient things are in congress. Maybe it's because of lobbying by big tobacco or pharma, maybe it's because no one wants to be seen as "soft on drugs". Whatever the reason, the difference between the federal and state laws is ridiculous.

Feds find no medical benefit and view it as highly addictive. States allow doctors to prescribe it for various treatments and some allow recreational consumption. How can there be such a huge difference?
> Yes, but it puts American consumers at an advantage!

No, US customers are paying either way. Lower cost shipping from China was paid for by higher cost domestic shipping. AFAIK the USPS is not subsidized by either the American or Chinese governments.
It's really important to understand that funding for AR startups cooled off when Apple and Google decided to go hard into it in 2017.

Almost across the board every major VC got spooked, then when Magic Leap turned out to be a turd the bottom fell out.

I firmly believe that Apple and Google successfully took the entirely of the market opportunity for a startup to win the AR game long term.

You could argue why this is good or whatever, but at the end of the day AR isn't going to be the platform a startup could knock FAANG off of their perch, and one or all of them will own the next hardware platform.
Trying to make it active requires moving the key information to the end of the sentence:

"The time you spent in training last year entitles you to jump pay [for that time]."

Although style guides like this one usually advise against using passive voice because it makes things harder to read, clarity should be the goal, not just active voice. This is a good example of a reason you might prefer passive voice: because the verb's subject isn't the focus. Passive voice can also be clearer than active voice when there's no relevant or meaningful actor to use as the subject.
I don't get the message. Is it "Problems scale up when something is growing"? It's not new by any means. So do Solutions. Is there evidence that Problems scale faster than Solutions?
I think the premise is ambiguous and my initial reading caught the implication from "tweets" that the datasets are huge, therefore keeping track of state in the naive solution is impractical.

You can feel free to have whatever standard you want as to what makes up a worthwhile article. Someone's personal feelings on how the human mind functions, described with vague terms, is essentially worthless to me.

Given that the same complaint seems echoed in other comments, I'm not alone there.
> This is utterly untrue. Not just an incomplete picture or misleading, but an utter falsehood.

Would you be so kind as to elaborate? You are literally stating that something is 'utterly untrue' without supporting rationale. I'm not expecting you to do a peer-reviewed study. Just to explain why you feel this way.
In the USA the cost of a single adult movie ticket is ~$15. Charging less than that per month for unlimited movies was puzzling.
I'm not sure open pricing would help seeing as how the average person doesn't have much knowledge to defend themselves against gouging. And when I've got a gash on my head, I'm not going to call around for prices and special discounts.
I live in Canada. I have visited the ER probably 5 times in the last year with different kid ailments. I pay MSP about 30$ a month CAD and that covers me and my kids. I do pay out of pocket for medications but any visits to the doctor or hospital are completely covered. Work benefits covers 80% of the meds I have to pay out of pocket. I don't have to second guess when to go in I just go in when things get bad, no questioning will this visit leave me financially unable to feed my family and take care of my health in other ways. I just go in. I hope you guys get something better working for you.
I worked in a newspaper plant. We did everything you just described for all of the same reasons. The system delivered was worse in every way than the one we ended up building for ourselves in the end, didn't work right anyway, and was "supported" by incompetent temps that damaged expensive equipment as they ham-handedly learned their jobs on our dime.

Sometimes its all just a paper facade over simple stuff we can easily do for ourselves with the smallest amount of courage and effort.

I think the fundamental mistake of the last three decades of health advice is overestimating that capacity in the face of declining insulin sensitivity due to persistently high glycemic loads.
VR pass through can get a wider FOV than an AR display but it still is a lot less wide than natural vision. Which was my point.

Latency issues might be subjective but there are clearly going to be population trends. I imagine these will be very similar to latency trends with VR and as such latency will be a significant issue.

Front facing displays are even weirder than someone with a headset on. I’m confused that anyone thinks sticking a view of someone’s eyes on a flat screen is going to be anything other than weird. It’s diving head first into the uncanny valley.

I have Kaiser health insurance in the bay area. Whenever we needed a hand or foot brace or walking boot, they seemed to just give out the basic stuff at no extra charge beyond the visit copay. Per the insurance plan there is a copay but they just give it out. Other times they will just recommend something you can buy locally or online. They would give a printout with suggested brand/SKU to consider. They don't mind if you price shop.

Another commenter said they asked the hospital and they just bill 8x the Medicare rate. Price transparency should help equalize the market. Right now it’s very much a smoke and mirrors pricing scheme.
There are cult-like tendencies in part of the agile community. I don't see it in the teams I have worked in, but in forums on LinkedIn, by those that see their career as agile specialists, experts in coaching the true way to perform agile software development. Many of them see themselves as catalysts, and that they with clever questioning will make teams grow. They don't themselves want to have a delivery responsibility, but they want to stand on the sidelines and "coach".
I appreciate that the first line of the article says:

Kaiser is great for critical care and general practitioner stuff. But they do most of their cost-cutting in specialty care; the stuff that is rare or tends to not be easily diagnosed while having a major impact on patients' quality of life. Just lookup lawsuits and Kaiser mental health.
You don't have your own personal fire department, you and thousands of other people who live in your city each pay for fire insurance and the insurance industry then limits their claims by operating a fire company. It's basically the same as what the government does except that you have the option to not pay and then subsequently not have anybody to complain to if your house burns down. And the fire company may show up to put out your house fire anyway (to keep it from spreading) even if you don't have an insurance policy, but then you have a house which is half burnt by fire and half flooded by firefighters and you don't have any insurance, which continues to be a strong incentive to buy fire insurance to begin with and thereby fund the local fire company.

In the end you end up in the same place for the services that are actually worth having (like fire departments), because they're worth having so the majority of people buy into them and you still get economies of scale, but you get the option to decline other wasteful services that cost more than they're worth. And that puts useful pressure on individual services to be worth more than they cost.

>The class of which I am a part of, the global technological community, was for the longest time apolitical. We have this history of thinking: "We're going to make the world better."

I think a lot of people in the tech community need to come to grips with the fact that you can't be apolitical in a democratic country. Refusing to engage in politics is an abdication of your role in a democratic society. You certainly have the right to do that, but that abdication can't be apolitical. It is instead a tacit endorsement of the status quo. How good or bad that is depends on your personal politics and whoever happens to be in political control at the time.

One example that I think most people on HN can agree on is climate change. You can either work to fight climate change or you are allowing our current path of ignoring the problem to continue. Think of it like inertia. If we don't interact with a political issue, it will keep moving unchanged forever. The only way it changes is when we apply political force to it.

That's all beside the point.

As long as outside entities can dangle future low-effort, high-compensation posts to government officials in exchange for present favors, regulatory capture will remain a fact of life.

It's an incredibly tough problem. Even if we prohibited regulators from ever working for the regulated, it's so easy to get around that with nonprofits and shell corporations.
Some states have price gouging laws to keep people from being taken advantage of when they are in a vulnerable state, you can't charge $30 for a gallon of gas after a hurricane, I don't understand why hospitals are any different.

I took this bus twice, and would happily take it again, but probably because it just happens to fill my niche. From Santa Monica, taking rideshare to/from LAX would easily cost an extra $30 each way, not to mention the traffic on Friday evenings. Sometimes it takes longer to get to the airport than the flight itself.

Cabin is nice because the total time I spend awake (< 30mins at each end) is less than that of taking a flight (at least a 3 hour contiguous block). It's also less stressful not having to worry about luggage, security, when to leave for the airport, etc.

If I couldn't sleep like a rock, or didn't live in Santa Monica, or wanted to go to south bay instead of SF, I would get a flight instead. I agree this is not for everyone, whether it be comfort-wise or location-wise, but I do hope this new tech helps people sleep more peacefully, and that they expand to more locations.
> I do believe it to be a universal truth that a reformist approach is superior.

Exactly. This is your belief, and clearly not everyone believes it.

It sure could be both at the same time. Many people believe that too. It could also only be one or the other. Lots think those ways. There is no universally accepted truth here, and pretending like there is is not fruitful.

This is underrated.

Not to mention people are encouraged to do zero planning for the student debts and get pressured by family to buy new cars.

There’s so much of wealth that comes down to lifestyle and educating people on personal finance which would go way farther than just telling people to get a $100k degree and ‘study hard (for rote testing)’. Here in Canada where I live the debt levels are still insane and didn’t decline like the US did, even without the healthcare bills excuse.

Politicians love blaming external factors and rich people/big corporations for all our upward mobility issues, which obviously play a roles but it’s hardly the full story, I’m curious how far we could improve things through culture and how we teach our kids to spend money. This was a personal finance culture that was far more popular in the west in the recent past eras which we people constantly romanticize about and point to different single things to explain it all away (ie unions).

My girlfriend is amazing with money and saves everything, both her parents do the same, which is the opposite of me in my early 20s before I read into it and my parents growing up too. I’m convinced parenting combined with culture (she’s Han Chinese and they tend to be thrifty similar Scottish people and Jugaad in India[1], among others) has a significant impact on these trajectories.

The thing I don't understand about tips like these is, what obligation does the other party have to cooperate at all? Like you "ask for a supervisor" (and then a director!) what incentive do they have to not just say no? Or if you ask for an itemized bill, what if they just refuse? How are you supposed to get past a blunt refusal, which to me seems like the easiest response for them?

That works because almost all decisions are made without 100% certainty. "I'm not sure ... but I believe" is simply a statement of the obvious that everyone makes decisions with incomplete information.

Characterizing decisions made with incomplete information as "knee jerk" reactions is a bit much. That isn't to say that a certain amount of effort should be made to understand the consequences of any decision.
Groups countries going through hard times tend to have higher suicide rates, substance abuse, crime rates, violence rates and what not including mental health problems.

Honestly, this makes sense. I think people underestimate how much time, money, and effort American universities spend to fully concuss their students. If nobody's watching, then what's the point?
I'm not sure what your argument is. Is it that it is fine that our healthcare is like shopping at an Apple store? Or that medical costs cannot be predicted? Or that we should be happy with the system we have?

I've personally paid very little attention to the entire thing. She lost me when she began gallivanting all over the place via plane or whatever to take full advantage of her opportunity to lecture adults on camera and get positive press for doing so. In my mind, her flying all over the world to protest climate policy is in the same category as Leo DiCaprio taking a jet to an award ceremony to recognize him for his environmental activism.

I've lived without a car for more than a decade. I walked cross country from Georgia to California and accepted rides while homeless. I took a train out of California to get back into housing elsewhere.

I'm an environmental studies major. I don't lecture rich people for taking planes to where they need to be. I also don't make plane trips myself for the express purpose of telling people "You rich assholes need to shrink your god-damned carbon footprint."

I abhor hypocrisy. There's not much I hate more than people going "Do as I say, not as I do."

I was just trying to take your question at face value and answer it in hopes of being helpful. Otherwise I would have stayed out of this ridiculous theater, which probably would have been the better choice because then I wouldn't be getting ragged on for trying to answer your question.
