I am not happy with this solution, but I must say medical establishment - maybe not physicians themselves, but certainly whoever takes care of pricing and billing - were doing everything for years to invite regulation. Because people can tolerate what's going on only for so long. When every time you go to a doctor, you never get a price on anything and then you get a flurry of bills with cryptic codes and unexplainable charges and are expected just to pay exorbitant sums and shut up - people will only go with it for so long. No other good is sold this way, and no other business is conducted this way. I am generally pretty laissez-faire guy, but even my blood starts boiling when I see how the business is conducted there. I tried a couple of times to figure out some of the medical bills, and I almost went crazy. The impression is literally nobody - or at least nobody mere mortal is able to talk to - knows how it actually works and is willing to tell me - who pays the freaking money for the whole charade! - what's going on.

I know one medical area where it isn't this way. Dentistry. When I go to a dentist, whatever is the procedure, I can know upfront what are the costs, what I am paying for, and almost always (excluding rare exceptional cases, which usually also are handled by the dentist) which part is out of pocket and which will be covered by insurance. That is before we even start. But if I go into a non-dental clinic - suddenly billing is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma, nobody can say anything - you just have to wait for the bills to come, and then you'd know.

No wonder it ends up with the state coming in and putting the boot down. And no wonder it will be done in a ham-fisted way state regulation usually works. Because however laissez-faire I am, I cannot but see current situation is completely fubar. I'd prefer medical professionals and insurers and administrators and whoever they are figured it out and proposed me a market-based solution that doesn't make each visit to a doctor a reverse lottery - but that doesn't seem to happen (well, there are a handful of medical establishments with proper predictable pricing, but rare and far between). So, no wonder this is happening instead.
And docs honestly believe that the test will help. Many are not scamming you, they really want to know the result.

The single most helpful question I have if you're deciding on whether to take or refuse a test is this: "How will knowing the result change the course of treatment?" I avoided an intestinal biopsy once this way, as the answer was, "It won't. It would just be nice to know."
I think you took my comment differently than intended. My fault for phrasing it poorly.

First, you are correct that MKP is not a cult and everything you're saying here checks out with the research I just did into MKP.

What I meant was that it is cult-like in appearance. It's an engineered experience for human bonding and introspection. The members are doing stuff that's out of the ordinary and trying to connect to some deeper spiritual thing. Sometimes people get naked. There's a big wooden phallus used as a talking stick. There's a bunch of oversharing. It's not a cult, but it's not exactly Rotary Club either.

As far as roping you in, of course it's designed for that. The group couldn't grow without getting you to come back. There's a good chance you're going to form bonds with the other people in the group if you do a bunch of emotional stuff with them on a retreat. That's a social situation that I'd much prefer to avoid.

I looked at your HN profile and I see that you're a life coach for freelancers, so you might be less sensitive to what's triggering me about MKP. Don't take this the wrong way, but your site gives me a similar feeling as the MKP stuff. I'm pretty sure I'm your target too, as a developer considering switching to freelance work. I wish I could give you something more useful than "feels scammy, stay away", but that's how it comes across to me. And you're blogging about "mastermind groups", which also give me the same feel. It's possible that I'm just hyper-sensitive, but I think you'll have an easier time getting through to developers if you aren't tripping the alarm that tells me "this is a cult" or "here comes a pitch for an ebook".

As a side note, I wonder if you get many calls from putting your number in your HN profile. That was definitely noticeable and didn't trigger my overactive skepticism at all (even though it's obvious self promotion, it feels authentic).
This looks exciting
Apple actually used to do this on MacBooks - one of the USB ports has mux circuitry that can be switched to an SMC programming mode that merely uses USB as the physical connection for their SMC programmer tool, bypassing the USB host controller and not using the USB protocol. It was removed in the 2016 onwards MacBooks as the T1/T2 supersedes the SMC, so it follows the same design patterns as iPhone hardware.

Do you have experience running a business? That's easy for someone watching from the sidelines to say. But the reality is that something like this have financial and logistical hurdles.

As of Sept this year, there are currently 14,081 individual Supercharger stalls at 1,604 locations worldwide.

Retrofitting all of those is hardly "without too much trouble". That's a fact.
Isn’t this just faux vulnerability, or vulnerability from the position of power?

In other words, it’s not the ”oh my god, my life is crashing, I don’t know what to do, please help me” kind of vulnerability (that one isn’t seen as very attractive or welcomed by the society), it’s the “my life is awesome, except this tiny part, but it’s cool, I’ll manage” kind of vulnerability.
It means thank goodness you aren't the HR director. You don't go around harassing people because of hygiene. You don't fire people because of 3rd hand reports of creepiness. You don't slander someones reputation just because you read somewhere about things that purportedly made him look really bad.

It simply isn't true; thankfully labor law doesn't make a crime out of bad smelling-ness and unsubstantiated creepiness.
Bank user here. Free is fine but instant inter-bank transfers are bad. That means somebody can just empty the account with limited ability for the owner/bank to intercept the transaction. I'm quite happy with the current semantics, so far as I understand them.
> The flâneur is knowingly intruding into the space of the street workers, but bringing his bourgeoise morality with him.

Right. I think it's the implication that not wanting to be groped in public is somehow unique to the morality of privileged males that confuses me. It's as if he's trying to make a point about hypocrisy but doesn't follow it up.
As already discussed, the runaway trim procedure got them to a positive rate climb.

Then they did A) re-enabled electric trim (and MCAS) B) while still low, C) touched the trim button for a second, and didn't adjust anywhere close to proper trim, and D) left electric trim/MCAS on.

Not to mention, from your source, the FCTM says:

> Excessive airloads on the stabilizer may require effort by both pilots to correct the mis-trim. In extreme cases it may be necessary to aerodynamically relieve the airloads to allow manual trimming. Accelerate or decelerate towards the in-trim speed while attempting to trim manually.

I hadn’t heard that. A quick search suggests it’s only necessary for loading Nvidia kexts or using TB2 https://www.reddit.com/r/eGPU/comments/8lybin/macos_egpu_wit...

> No one is going to wait for that hypothetical future where MacOS supports Nvidia GPUs.

True, but their Navi cards are at least competitive in the price ranges where they exist. Hopefully the high end ones next year continue that. If you’re looking at Titan or whatever the current ML thing is in the $1000+ range, then you might be stuck with Nvidia.
We're lucky to find and deploy this project early at our startup. Being a cybersecurity company, we cannot have out customers data leave our aws account.
That's pretty much how you get hired in Europe as nobody does leetcode and rarely you get whiteboard or take home problems.

If you have enough experience at some prestigious company, the job is already yours, the on site interview is pretty much a formality to discuss salary expectations and screen for red flags.
Because "health insurance" is not designed or used as "insurance" anymore. Real insurance takes into account numerous factors which rate your risks of something bad happening to you and comes up with a rate tied to your particular set of circumstances that influence that risk.

Unfortunately, when "health insurance" covers day to day conditions, procedures, etc and costs the same for everyone regardless of circumstances, then it's no longer "insurance" but effectively pre-paying for access to a set of services.. and hopefully, it's services that you want and might actually need.

In the US, it's more of a "healthcare access fee" than "health insurance."
I think you're looking for the word rigor
There's nothing fortunate about being unqualified. The quotes are not air quotes, they are actual quotes (in translation) from the letters he is discussing.

Edit: there are some exceptions to this around paragraph 7. Anyway, discussing the finer points of the writing style doesn't seem worthwhile.
That's a very different case. The point of licensing a work under the GFDL version n or higher is that the FSF can relicense it under a different copyleft license – like CC-BY-SA. Of course CC-BY-SA and GFDL aren't identical but neither are different versions of the GFDL.
Sperm and blood can make BV worse as they are alkaline in the vagina’s environment.

That iron retards problematic flora needs some citation.

Bacteria will likely flourish more in an iron rich environment. But BV is different kinds of bacteria. At the end of the day, it’s a ratio. If the lactic acid strains become fewer than the pH changes to more alkaline. Sperm and blood increase the alkaline levels by diluting the acid environment of the vagina.
Get off Twitter. Get off Instagram, get off Facebook. Get off social media before it's weaponized against you. The eye of Sauron could be upon you at any moment.
Thank you for being candid and straightforward in your responses. If you can get this to work really well and make it easy to deploy, I think it can be a great service to the FOSS community and also a profitable support/enterprise business for you. Good luck.
Of all people that could talk about the matter it had to be the one that protects and encovers pedophiles, that a few centuries ago burned homosexuals and atheists alive, and they didn't stop because they realized it was wrong they only stopped because they lost political power after too many conflicts, one of the remaining institutions that keeps alive one of the biggest pilars of human stupidity which is believing in things just because, with arguments just as strongh as kids have arguments for Santa Claus and we are supposed to take them seriously? Listening to Tom Cruise as the head of Scientology would make as much sense.
Lots. Don’t you have a racist uncle? While racist relatives are difficult to be around I think it teaches me to understand how I can love a person who has some really abhorrent beliefs.

Similarly growing up with lots of siblings teaches you to live with someone you really fight with.

So for me I can serve and love someone even if they want to remove regulations protecting the environment. I disagree strongly with them but still say hello in the grocery store and help them change a flat tire and buy popcorn when their kids go door to door.

I've actually worked on blocking all light in one bedroom. This is a great thing when one must sleep during the day.

The one window is thoroughly covered using well fit light blocking material. During daylight there is a very small amount of light the gets in under a door. At night it is utterly black. You may wait as long as you wish for your eyes to adjust; you cannot see your hand in front of your face. Nothing. Activating a smart phone becomes painful.
>even longer in non-US countries

This is often overlooked in discussions about iOS exploits. Although 64-bit exploits gets the limelight for obvious reasons such as the possibility of being valid for current series of Apple devices, older 32-bit devices still being used in non-US countries shouldn't be discounted.

Apple devices often cost much higher than US in some of these countries, the difference was even much higher several years back when Apple didn't have dedicated stores in these countries.

Case in point : iPhone 5C was supposedly discounted ($550) when compared to iPhone 5S at the time of launch in US. In India, it was around ~$700 at minimum. To put that in perspective, that was a cost for a decent motorcycle in India which a family can use for at-least 20-30 years.

iPhone 5C can still perform basic smartphone tasks at ease, although it could be very vulnerable to exploits even for basic browsing[1]. But an average consumer in India, doesn't care much about the updates when their phone gets basic tasks done.

>I think we should put a high value on people that can handle their own problems.

Try as I might, I have no idea what this has to do with feelings. Are you making an assumption that people who acknowledge or express their feelings are not handling problems?

And of course, as others have pointed out, stoicism doesn't suggest not pondering over feelings.
I think your best shot would be to make your own css, find a way to distribute to users, show traction and then propose it get applied by default.
You’ve been downvoted by others, but your assessment is correct.

Our trade deals exclude environmental, labour, and other non-goods protections. So As a result we end up with the race to the bottom that you mentioned.

The fix is trade agreements that enshrine protections for more than just the goods being produced.
I'm all for mountain climbers climbing mountains, hackers hacking systems, and people otherwise doing it "because it's there". But when I read the developer's blog post, it sounds like he thinks this thing is going to stay around past the next iOS release.I hope he had fun and learned a lot of good skills doing this, but it's not something users should expect to be around.
Little bit older. Never in my whole life used a cheque in Germany. Then I moved to canada, and learned it's a common thing here. Salaries are by default paid with cheques, people pay their rent with them, etc. I was genuinely surprised when I opened a bank account and they wanted to give me cheques (and even charge for them!). I however got around using them - things can also be paid electronically by setting up direct deposit. It however always feels like the non-standard way.
I'm 28 and at the height of my career, but I've just started making education a priority again. Still working full, but also taking 3h of intensive classes every day in something completely unrelated to my work (learning Chinese). Learning again feels good!
The point is about a change in expectations, norms, and public awareness that occurred at a certain time and place.

I grow medicinal herbs. I have found that with Ayurveda there are herbal washes that help with restoring vaginal pH towards slight acidity.

I don’t grow them as I am not in the right zone, but I have read that there are many herbs that does this function. Plus..Ayurveda takes a whole systems approach and includes dietary changes and lifestyle tips. Most of it was targeted towards menopausal and perimenopausal women who go through the changes and will affect whole body pH. The kind of herbs depends on the individual’s constitution.

I am pretty sure TCM has similar protocols for women’s health but the names were not familiar to me and I didn’t feel confident enough to enquire in a language that I wasn’t fluent in..
>He shared his feelings with some women, and look at what happened to him.

I don't think he shared any feelings - he expressed his views. Very orthogonal to sharing feelings.
In practice taxis demanded cash so they didn't have to report it and pretended the card machines were broken. Good riddance.

> Sorry I feel your pain but medical costs are out of control and you’re part of the problem.

To put things in perspective, physician salaries are less than 10% healthcare costs. A 25% decrease in salaries would only lead to a 2.5% change in healthcare costs.

----

There are a lot of reasons healthcare is expensive. Most of those come down to processes and practices that are out of the hands of individual physicians.
> If the physician in question is an employee or a member of a large health organization, it's entirely possible someone else does those negotiations on the person's behalf, so they would have literally no idea.

They personally might not, but their organization certainly does. If they are large hospital, they won't negotiate rates with each person anew, they already have everything figured out. If the doctor can't access it with a couple of clicks on their PC, it's an organizational failure. And if the doctors don't raise a stink about it every day but shrug and tell the patient "you'll see when we send you 20 separate bills, 20 line items each, all coded with internal codes you have no access to" - then it becomes their failure too. I can appreciate they are part of a large organization, but they are not totally powerless and if they really pushed for it they probably could do something. Maybe not one radiologist, but if every radiologist would ask the billing to implement that system, I think they'd think about doing it sooner or later.
Mysterious 'Pocket' of Underwater Gas Could Contain 50M Tons of CO2
Dungeons and Dragons Online is one of my favorite MMOs. (Granted I haven't really played since before the Forgotten Realms expansion.) It's so different from anything else out there, and the dungeon experience is truly unique. I really like how it makes you depend on different, diverse roles and uses them for all sorts of noncombat things.

I played through the F2P beta for LOTRO too. That was a bit rough at times, but fun.
I think taking the 6 hours _once_ can be done by pretty much everybody, that should not be a serious problem.

What kind of gets me thinking is that, in my experience, people will take a look at multiple options before committing to a career change. This is where this concept seems to fray a bit.

Still I think it is a valid concept to minimize your exposure to false hires so it’s ok.

At my shop we opted for a similar approach but exchanged the project with a pair programing task that candidates get up front (and yes, we created reference code bases in many, many languages).

One other departure is that we don’t subscribe to the hard comparisons mantra. Candidates get to code with someone from their future team(or two sometimes) and it’s just a thumbs up or thumbs down signal. Thumbs down would usually mean that the process also gets cut short.
That's terrible because, if I remember correctly, that's permanent. :/
The article does a pretty good job of showing examples of the "rescue industry", and how people who claim to be working in the interest of all sex workers simply aren't. Many are in it for their own ego or morals or posturing or money.

The article also provided examples of people helping people get out of sex work, and actually being good at it.

And the article also talks about the very thing you're protesting, there are two big narratives in the debate: "The happy hooker is a myth!" and "Sex workers who speak out are empowered feminist icons!"

Both those narratives are extremes, and the article points out that reality is a lot more bland and boring and grey than that. The author talks about instances where a porn shoot was a great experience, but that mostly it was a boring shit job.

Of course there are sex workers who hate their job and want to get out, but can't for numerous reasons, and need help getting out.

Of course there are sex workers who hate their job, but would rather keep it, than take another shit job.

Of course there are sex workers who occasionally hate their job, and occasionally love their job.

Of course there are sex workers who like their job and would never want any other job.

Of course there are sex workers who do it to finance a drug addiction.

Of course there are sex workers who do it to finance their university education.

Of course there are sex workers who have been abused and traumatized and hurt and beaten and killed in their work.

Of course there are sex workers who have never experienced abuse in their work.

And when I say "listen to actual sex workers", this is what I mean you have to listen to. All the good, and all the bad. All the different experiences that different people have. You can't just listen to all the bad, and immediately want to crack down and forbid it and try to stamp it out "for their own good", and assume it will magically disappear. You can't just listen to all the good, and immediately want to decriminalize it and assume it will all work out magically in the end either.

>I find that the healthiest people in my life don't seem to be the types prone to endless rumination.

Rumination is unhealthy. And believe it or not, one of the antidotes to it is being able to communicate ones feelings effectively. In my experience, more expressive people tend not to suffer ruminating thoughts.
It's worth noting that many institutions you would not have thought of as "men's colleges" per se were indeed all male -- Caltech didn't admit women as undergrads until 1970.
To meaningfully quote text you need to include enough context to support what your saying, thus “accosted” and “his“ are not a meaningful quotes.

I don't think that a good company can grow from a massive investment that early. The VC fund wants the company to spend the money and grow value quickly, not sit on it for years. That puts pressure on leadership to waste time and money worrying about building out offices, hiring top talent, contracting with big agencies, etc. None of that work has anything to do with building a quality product, growing a functional culture, or paying attention to what customers are saying. It suspends financial reality for both leadership and rank/file; instead it encourages waste.

Does closing a $250K contract matter? In a scrappy startup, that contract is a huge win. In an overfunded startup, its often considered a distraction.
