Well, it did get them back to positive rate climb, didn't it? :P Just, dubious subsequent actions gave that back.

Well, it is absolutely personal disrespect, and adding qualifiers amplifies rather than undoes it. A decent person should do better.

I already said MCAS is awful, kthx? At the same time, it's exposed that many air crews in developing countries don't know how to deal with trim runaway. And trim runaway happens: switches get stuck. So the other links in the failure chain should be dealt with, so that they don't conspire to bring down aircraft under other conditions.
That kind of disproves the "patriarchy causes male aggression" theory, doesn't it?

As someone that loves retro tech (having started on a VIC-20) I love stuff like this! If Twitter is the method the author picked to share, I am happy that he shared. If it is not your cup of tea, do not read it or take the time to re-create in a method that you think works better.
No it's not, setting up proper push notifications (Google/Apple) with XMPP is a nightmare and the XEP is not well supported anyway
It's actually very atypical. Most people do not lucid dream or at least recall a lucid dream more than a handful of times in their lives, and certainly not intentionally. More people can make their own decisions, to some capacity, but the insight that your situation isn't real isn't common.
Shhh.. you haven't seen anything :p

Great Ruby Gems Most People Haven’t Heard About
In some places, people have been charged with hate speech crimes for this very thing. I am extremely opposed to this kind of authoritarian censorship masquerading as human decency. Why? Because of things like this: https://www.newsweek.com/gun-control-hate-crimes-house-bill-...

People aren't seeing the forest for the trees, while one by one prerequisite precedents are being established for a new wave of authoritarian control. In any specific context, it seems laughable-- how could the RMS snafu and authoritarian power creep possibly be connected? But it's just one data point among many.
I've always thought this is what gives science a strong position.
Science can always reverse itself and change positions (180 degrees if needed) to support the latest findings.

Politics, religion, etc. don't have the same advantage.

Huh, neat. I had no idea there was a name for "islamic patterns", but they look like exactly what I expected.

People have been making this sort of stuff since way before LSD was invented, but I can't help notice how incredibly similar the patterns are to psychedelic hallucinations. To see them described as "sacred geometries" makes a lot of sense for reasons I can't quite explain.
I don't think the entire taxi medallion supply limitation part had anything to contribute to safety. It's not even occupational licensing, but a literal form of landlording where medallion holders rent them out to actual drivers.

> However, I cannot "enter the negotiation" even with a cash-paying-patient legally without charging the top-line price.

Yes, this is true and if you try and settle with a cash-paying-patient who's insured, the insurance company can drop you as well as pursue breach of contract damages.

> By law, we can only charge one price to all payors

What law is it?

because this is absolutely untrue in a country that does not follow an all payer rate set system and the U.S. ain't one.

In the U.S. the VA pays one rate, Medicare another, private another, Indian Health Service (IHS) and Tribal Health another and so on.

Here's a helpful chart for you that shows all the different parties each of who pays different rates for the SAME CPT CODE: https://qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-72f33aa55c71c439fc4660...

Infact a lot of avarice ridden providers refuse to treat Medicare patients, who need the most help, precisely because Medicare pays less than private party care.

> one of literally 200 radiologists in my current practice, I have no say in those rates at all

Oh yes you do.

Most radiologists dont even attach themselves to a network because they can bill OON.

Which is why 35 percent of adults have surprise bills for imaging services: https://www.radiologybusiness.com/topics/healthcare-economic...

Let me quote another article: http://www.ncsl.org/research/health/counteracting-surprise-m...

> As an example, a woman seeks care for a broken limb. She is careful to go to a hospital that is in her health insurance plan’s network. She remits her copayment and receives an X-ray. Several days or weeks after the visit, the woman receives a bill for hundreds, possibly thousands, of dollars. Even though the patient was seen at an in-network hospital, the radiologist who read her X-ray was not in her insurance network. Still, the patient is responsible for picking up the out-of-network cost.

No one is forcing a radiologist to be OON - it's their own decision and they do it exactly to have a say in their rates.

It's fine to want to make money.

Whats the big deal with all this smoke and mirrors?

Here's how a business transaction outside healthcare in the U.S. goes:

Party A: Hey B, you have X, which I need

Party B: Yes. I have X, and I want $Y from you

Party A: OK, but can you try and do it for a bit less, say $Z?

Party B: Yes.

Here's how a business transaction in healthcare in the U.S. goes:

Party A: Hey doctor, you have X, which I need

Doctor: Yes. I have X, and I accept your insurance!

Party A: OK, here I am. $30 co pay, right?
Doctor: Yup!

Doctor (3 months later): Oh, turns out you owe me $250 for the local anesthetic and $1700 for use of the camera I shoved down your throat 3 months ago. Also the thing I did was surgery because I went inside your body so it's not a $300 in office visit but a $750 one. If you don't know what endoscopy is, it's your fault you ignorant slob. It's your fault you didn't know all of this. I didn't go to medical school for nothing, now pay up or I will repo your house and garnish your wages.

The pain is showing now. People are really upset about how they have been and continue to be taken advantage of
Yes, that is exactly the use case of our "user defined" transformation functions. You can define any javascript function (right now by modifying the code but will be available from the UI in the release coming next week). Inside that function you can filter/transform/enhance the event in any way you like. You can lookup your DB, call external APIs etc. You can also combine multiple events into one.

Since this whole thing runs inside your VPC, you don't have to open up your production database to 3rd party as you have to do with segment.

Happy to work with you on your use case. Please email soumyadeb@rudderlabs.com

We wrote a couple of blog posts on that.

I'm generally in the liberal camp on this, and that legalization/decriminalization is the way to go, and that you have to listen to actual sex workers and ask them what they want.

But this argument is the strongest I've seen for the opposing view. It basically says that legalization/decriminalization does make things better for existing sex workers, but since it increases trafficking, the whole thing is net negative, since a lot of people are now made to suffer to supply this new market.

The best defense I have against that is that then you haven't enforced the legal landscape properly. It should be possible for local police to protect legal sex workers and treat them with dignity and respect, and crack down hard on trafficking. But I also realize how naive that makes me sound.
That’s another thing I never got about Saudi’s investments. To me the obvious strategy with all the money would have been to not invest in empty skyscrapers or foreign investments, but pick two or three areas in which you massively bolster research and investment in an area like solar energy. Investment would be local and you try to attract all to talent in the field for both fundamental research as well as to fund companies.

Like said by the other poster, long-term priming is not proven nor disproven: Science needs better and more experiments. So we don't yet scientifically know enough about long-term priming to make a judgment on its effects. Short-term priming is well-established and has real measurable effects though. The prominent priming studies you refer to are the "exotic" studies -- these looked at less defined aspects of priming, and were found to be lacking.

> Amidst the recent furor over failures to replicate some empirical results on behavior priming, it is important to emphasize that some basic behavior-priming effects are real, robust, and easily replicable even if others are much more problematic.

For instance, your reply contains too many words starting with "p" and "pr" for it to be a mere coincidence :). (syntactical priming is something that authors or editors have to guard against, as it can make for poor quality writing).

I'm not saying this because the author of the books is Christian. I am saying this because they are explicitly relationship advice guidelines from a Christian religious perspective.

Most religions have ideas about relationships that are not informed by anything secular, and Christianity certainly does.

Opening a preview of the book I was quickly able to find lines like these:

"If we are willing to be molded by His hands, the Lord will shower us, our men, and our relationships with abundance. That is the way He works. He made us for each other. He is the Author of love"

"I feel like the Lord has blessed my desire to serve my husband and our marriage by giving me a permanent internal motivation to have a healthy "temple." And I know He will do the same for you"

So no, this is not the association fallacy. This is asking people to disclaim when the advice they are giving has a significant religious component.
> showing numbers for Tesla alone is absolutely useless.

If you don't know how to read financial data, then probably. The site you linked contradicts what you've been whining about... According to it, the current short interest is currently at 29%.. By definition anything above 20% is considered to be extremely high.

Looking at your post history, it's also very clear that you have great disdain not only for Tesla but Elon. Nobody is holding a gun to your head to buy the cars of like the guy. But here you are, shitting on people who love a product.

>Repeating the few tired talking points...just gives a pretty unflattering impression of Tesla's fans.

How is this impacting your daily life? Does it bother you that much that it's making it hard for you to sleep at night? Or do you just get off on spouting anger?

I don't go around telling other people who love a certain product/brand to shut up. Just because you don't like something, others don't have to share the same opinion as you... Even more so, if it's not based on facts but emotion.
Why not just put it index funds? If you already have far more money than you need, the average market rate of return should be acceptable. There's no need to try and 10x or 100x without, well, losing all of it, since the type of investments with that potential high of an upside are incredibly risky. Don't bet the farm.
Maybe? So? What point did you think I was trying to make?
No, this is a terrible (but surprisingly common) argument. Most insurers operate in competitive markets - even if they let costs balloon, their competitor probably doesn't and can undercut them. There are a few that operate in non-competitive markets but the larger and startup insurers (e.g. Oscar Health) are aggressively entering new regions these days.

Most insurers are pretty aggressive at managing costs thru managed care techniques (described at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Managed_care#Techniques).
As I see it, you're assuming that the person doesn't know their own flaws and isn't capable of observing others in detail. I know which things to redact from my stories because they'd make me look worse. I also know which pieces to fill in from how others have behaved in similar situations or from reading about how others have behaved.
> “This is useful information: seeing a law or policy, and then seeing a counter-example of how it didn't work in practice, some times even in spite of good-intentions, from people who have access to data.
A scientist will build their hypotheses first, then build the data to either affirm or refute their intuition. And this article can inform future policy-making and data acquisition.”

I suspect it’s just an agree-to-disagree situation, but I disagree very strongly about all this, and in particular I disagree very much that any aspect of this piece offers useful anecdata to either inform, confirm or refute policy. A single narrative, the interpretation of which I’m likely to overstate because of the emotional weight of the person’s experiences, just cannot count for much.

What is the emotional equivalent of multiplying this article by ~1 / 50 million to give it around the right amount of weight in my opinion-forming analysis?

You can't compare the US standard of care with the rest of the world's standard of care. If you want equivalent costs to the rest of the world, expect the US expectation of care, turnaround time, and time-to-service to decrease drastically.

You have a habit of posting in healthcare threads and denigrating physicians. Your favorite replacement (midlevels) do not make less money. They are only paid less money; the hospital gets either equivalent (Oregon) or about 85% of that paid to a physician. You are getting WORSE care for the same price when you see an NP or PA. This is why I personally avoid seeing them.

You have a huge trust in the US government that large swaths of the population simply do not have. Have you spoken to many veteran's about their experience in the VA healthcare system? Some VAs with academic affiliations are ok....many...are not. Do you think the government now doesn't already massively regulate healthcare through CMS mandates?
I wonder how long before there is a WordPress theme that mimics these tweetstorms?
If you don't know whether the person you're paying needs the money to survive, it's immoral to buy "sex." You don't know to what degree it's "sex" or they are forced into it, which is called "rape." Banning the purchase (the "Nordic model") is the same as banning other immoral acts.

It's the same with porn by the way. You don't know if the women you're watching are on drugs, being threatened by men, or just needs the money to survive. So what what are you watching? "Sex" or rape?
I love HN...I've been waiting for this topic :-D

I'm a man who has focused on and has been building tools to get better at expressing my emotions since 2012, including an app called iFeelio, in which I answered the question "how do I feel" over 4,000 times across 4 years and a class called Emotional Self-Defense, which I've run in the US, Europe, and Africa. I have realized and re-realized many things along the way.

One thing I've seen is that each culture seems to have rules about which emotions one is allowed to express and not allowed to express, based on the specific contexts. We often say that men aren't allowed to express our emotions, but I don't think that's the case. We men (in the US) are often allowed to express anger, confidence, feelings of triumph, horniness (maybe), calmness, and maybe even excitement. We're often not allowed to express tenderness, sadness, confusion, uncertainty, fury, etc. And funny enough, when watching our favorite sports team, we're pretty much allowed to express all of the emotions above and more. On the other hand, in the workplace, we're not allowed to really express much at all.

Women may have a different list, as well as people from the Midwest or California, those born in the 60s, digital natives, engineers, or really any different culture or sub-culture.

That being said, I'm glad to see programs like MKP and Evryman providing the place, and moreover, the permission, to express all of the emotions. (Save a Warrior is one I recommend for military vets—I was a witness on one of the programs and it really helped to open my heart and the hearts of the other guys.)

I'd love to chat with anyone on here about this, either in the comments or on Twitter, Telegram, keybase, or whatever people on HN use these days. Check my HN profile for those usernames.
It's social media. It's not a news aggregator.

People post things they want to talk about. It just happens to be largely links (but not always; for example AskHN).

Let's do a quick test. Do you consider Reddit to be social media? How about Twitter? If you do, then so is Hacker News.

Just because you it happens to be a social media site that you personally like doesn't mean it gets to be in a different category that you consider more holy. Or just because there's no photos or because there's fewer features, doesn't mean it's not social media.
The research has been done by the weed growing community. I don't know any professional growers using sensors outside of the American Scientific as the cheap ones are inaccurate and failure prone.
Prostitution is legal around here for a while so general labor laws apply as well as some special ones, and e.g. the ver.di labor union (largest one representing workers in all "service" occupations, with about 2 million members) since then allowed prostitutes to join their union and lobbies on behalf of all sex workers, as well as providing members a wide array of legal services and representation in work and social matters and a lot of advisory/informational services (tho few sex workers actually become members due to a plethora of reasons).

The decriminalization actually helped weed out most of the small "street pimps" and violent or non-paying Johns/Janes are now a lot more regularly reported and prosecuted, especially since prostitutes can now actually go to the police without fear of being charged for prostitution.

Legal prostitution also means brothels are now registered as legal businesses a lot more often, which in turn means they have to follow health and safety regulations and are subject to inspections. Before, the state only ever could raid a brothel (illegal by definition) and shut it down, at which point it often popped up again in some new place. This also means brothel operators can invest in their properties, thereby usually improving the physical working conditions as well.

But admittedly it hardly put a dent into the larger criminal enterprises which have an entire "supply chain" incl human trafficking and (illegal) brothels with sex slaves. Those criminal organizations just continued as usual, maybe even profiting from generally increased demand in prostitution now that it is legal, keeping their enslaved people in check with fear and outright violence, but are helped by trafficked sex workers nowadays originating from non-EU states which means those people would have to worry about deportation (aside from violent retribution by the criminal enterprises) if they went to the police.

Now that the state has freed up some resources it previously spent on prosecuting sex workers and their customers, I'd like to see those resources go towards fighting those larger criminal enterprises, but that didn't really happen yet as far as I can tell. There have been some high profile busts, but not more than it used to be.

Their profits are capped at 20% by law. They can increase profits in one of two ways; either by increasing premiums or by increasing subscriber count.

The upstarts can try to undercut the big guys, but they still are stuck at a 20% profit margin; if they make too much, they have to refund the excess premiums.
