It's not sexual assault if the man is playing along and only mocking outrage or later on reflection outraged in the comfort of his study at his writing desk. Its about playing with boundaries at a time when culture change is shifting them.

If you think this kind of writing is about making a single point, you won't get it. It's about putting you in a time and place and giving you something to think (for yourself) about not telling you what to think, and making an airtight case.
That seems analogous to the humble-brag.

I think it's because instead of their app being a way to earn recurring revenue by being a go-between between dog walkers and dog owners, it's more of a way for dog-walkers to build up their client list, who no longer need Wag skimming off profit in the middle.

They claim that they'll charge walkers $1000 if they provide services to a Wag client outside of the service, but I'd be surprised if that's legally enforceable:

I mean, Tantra, or at least some takes on it, is training yourself to be receptive and open to your own emotions. To various extents in Taoist groups historically, presumably at least partially continuing. Being in touch with your own emotions is a pretty big aspect of a lot of martial arts, although I suppose not expressing them.
Insurance should be just that - insurance. It's for catastrophies, not for sore throat visits. You should only claim health insurance benefits in exceptional circumstances. You don't use Geico for oil changes. And at the same time there shouldn't be any place that would charge you without warning about cost. Analogy: when you go to Firestone to rotate tires, they tell you upfront what's it gonna cost. You don't go there and they would be like: "we can not tell you how much it would cost. Every car is different. We might need to call for specialist from discount tire and he would bill you for consultation separately". No, that does not happen. They take your car, and they tell you exactly what they need to do and what will be the cost. Health care should be the same, competition on price and quality, and none of this insurance third party nonsense
In a sane world she would be given the Nobel Prize in every science.

A crucial part of "science" is peer review. If a "troll" disputes some key data sources or facts, should we banish and censor the troll, or should we respond with a well-cited set of hard facts? Why is Climate Science such a cesspool? Both sides are guilty of gross misrepresentation. My conclusion is that Climate Science is not "science" at all, but firmly rooted in politics.

Ask developers about projects they’ve worked on and have the technical skills to evaluate the depth of their answers. It works every time for me, it’s fair and even fun for the interviewee and it’s really fast. I’m often to a hire/no hire decision in 30 mins.

No culture questions (I’m happy to manage all kinds of people). No technical challenges. The more you do this, the better you get at it.
Switzerland has compulsory healthcare, insurance subsidies for low-income people, extremely heavy regulation of health insurance companies, and many (mostly?) public hospitals.

Well this is not exactly new. An uncle that worked in IT tried to talk me off computing in 1988 because he felt it would be a secretary- or typewriter-like job in the near future. Others told me that computing was ok but only at hardware side.

This uncle indeed lost his job because he worked in operation of a mainframe and didn't bother to learn PC or even UNIX workstation programming. He resorted to teach math in a primary school to complete time for retirement.
Yeah well back then game development was hard as it required deep knowledge of the hardware and also high critical thinking to implement various software tricks to overcome the limitations of the hardware. Those devs were as close to wizzards as you could get.

Later, hardware resources became cheaper and less of a concern and the SDKs made development a lot more accessible to people who didn't have a master's degrees in EE so the workforce could be cheaper and plentiful, cumulating to the game industry becoming the sweatshop it is today.

> There's almost no job where 80% of it couldn't be done by someone significantly junior. Especially when people are going to die if the person in the role can't handle the whole job, and there's no cost-effective way of presorting the work, it's not at all a sign of overtraining that 80%—or even 90%—of the work items could be done by someone far less skilled.

Nobody is going to die if nurses start prescribing acne creams and performing digital rectal exams. I'm talking about trivial routine care which is bulk of entire volume.

Emergency care where people die is a different story. Nobody should be reimbursed anything in emergency care. EM docs and midlevels should be on a salary like in Kaiser, with best outcomes at lowest costs being the only incentive.
Yeah, "toxic masculinity", but I can't name another type of masculinity that's in mainstream awareness. Can you?

If you google for "masculinity", "toxic masculinity" is the first thing that comes up. I'd never heard of "victorian masculinity" before, but that and "harmful masculinity" were the only other types I could easily find. Google also helpfully suggested "The culture of masculinity and its negative impacts on men" as a recent PBS Newshour segment that might interest me.

If you put the words next to each other for long enough, and you never see anything about "positive masculinity" or "altruistic masculinity" (which I just made up because I couldn't find any real examples), then you're going to create a culture that associates masculinity with toxicity. From my point of view, that's been happening for a few years.

The idea that brought masculinity into mainstream discussion was "there exists a type of masculinity that is toxic", but the way the public seems to have internalized it is "masculinity is toxic".
I appreciate your insight.

It was a good doctor. I googled his name and apparently he is co-author of nobel-nominated work, so I think his time really worth much and I am little bit sorry ER bothered him about such trivial thing.

ER doctors really seemed to care, they tried to eliminate all possible things why my kid got stomach pain. Did x-ray, maybe even ultrasound (don’t remember) and ultimately it was nothing.

It was a surprise bill nonetheless, one I could barely afford at the time.

Fully agree. If I had to bet right now, I would guess that SpaceX will get humans to the moon before NASA does. They’re moving so quickly on Starship and seem extremely determined to prove their new rocket.
Yah, I'm not sure what they mean. My nature and science papers certainly didn't replicate anything and if they did they wouldn't have published them.
A lot of these comments sound like the way men dismiss sexual assault of women. "She secretly wanted it" / "She was asking for it" / "She changed her mind later".
> You can't provide that level of service with NHS-type funding.

The crisis with the NHS is not only a mismanagement crisis but also a funding crisis so I think they'd agree. Happily, healthcare funding could be increased to more normal levels (in comparison to other well functioning public healthcare systems as a share of GDP) and still be well short of the high costs of the US. The UK government just prefers austerity over properly functioning healthcare.
Some people like to be scared (but really, safe). It’s like a rollercoaster. Others like to learn what humans are capable of. Learning anything about history will quickly show you things as bad or much worse than any serial killer story.
So, I've been self-employed for 20 years, doing custom software development at home and short-term (typically <2weeks) on-site consulting).

I've been thinking about going back to work for a company full-time, as I'm getting tired of dealing with sales and marketing. I do it poorly.

I don't know how to answer these questions, by which I infer that long-term self-employed people are rarely hired at Google.

#2: the last company I worked at was in 1999. I don't remember enough about the culture to give a coherent answer. The on-site work I did for clients wasn't long enough for me to understand their culture.

#3: "independent troubleshooting and initiative" is all that can apply for someone who's self-employed.

#4: "a team project you did at work". The best I can do is describe how I work for other companies in my development work.

#5: I ... don't know how I would like to be managed. I guess, work with a manager who can help me figure out how I can be managed in a large corporate environment.

"Follow-up questions: Tell me about a disagreement you had with your last manager." ... Again, 1999.

Related to this, Apple just began production of iPhone 6s in India, allowing them to sell them for cheaper in India than units they would usually import from China. That’s 2015’s flagship iPhone being produced brand new. So don’t expect older iPhones to go away anytime soon, especially if India is within your target market.

Even in first-world countries this is an issue. My employer continues to support iOS 9 in their app because the balance of the cost of continuing to support it versus the cost of losing those customers on an iPhone 4s or iPad 2 is justified. Even if we bump it up, it probably won’t surpass iOS 12 (to continue supporting the iPhone 5s and 6) for several years.

I wonder if this means they’ll continue supporting the 6s for longer than other phones, like the 5s which enjoyed 6 years and 6 major iOS releases of support. It feels irresponsible to know there are still millions of instances of a smartphone in active use around the world, that stopped getting security patches. When Apple released GPS fixes for older phones, as well as new updates for the old thin Apple TVs with UI that still looks like iOS 6, and recent iTunes Windows updates (which bundle WebKit and other Apple core frameworks), they didn’t backport any patches for vulnerabilities that are well-known in these older releases. The cost/benefit almost definitely doesn’t add up favorably when their business primarily relies on hardware profit margins, I know, but it still seems like a responsible thing to do.

You’d agree that an important part of patient care is listening to the patients, correct?

In my personal experience, NPs tend to do so. Oftentimes I’m coming in for fairly obvious medical reasons and it’s a painless visit.

With doctors, it’s been a crapshoot for me. They adhere to whatever they learned years ago with complete inflexibility.

I still recall my high school dermatologist insisting that diet doesn’t affect acne and even showing me some stupid pamphlet to support her argument despite my insistence that it does from anecdotal evidence. Lo and behold it turns out she’s wrong! I doubt she cares since that’s not what she learned 15 years ago in school.

Simply put, most doctors don’t give a shit if you don’t fit the general case. If a side effect is not on the label, surely you’re imagining it and we can set up some therapy sessions.

It’s bewildering to say the least and very patronizing.

Imagine you had a tech lead try and “fix” any bugs you’re encountering without ever bothering to read the code or see what your approach so far has been. They just spitball some suggestions from what they’ve seen before. That’s how it feels.
If error codes were instead some kind of exception packaged with ancillary data, you could easily stick a kernel stack in the event payload and get the localization you're discussing that way. The ability to add context is what makes error codes lose so badly to exceptions.

Useless "world-as-you-want-it-to-be" rather than "world-as-it-actually-is" questions. These questions simply encourage the interviewee to guess expected answers and provide them with a smile. They mean nothing.

Until and unless companies learn that "Honesty" and "Trust"(from both sides) are the only things which matter when it comes to measuring intangible character traits these sorts of questionnaires are bunkum.
Thanks for the insights. While on this topic, some what, is there a satellite imagery service available that can give images of a location at a requested/variable time of the year? I wanted to see what a particular location looked liked during winter but could only find clearer photos taken during spring/fall months.
Even studios in LA, like Paramount, have fake NYC streets.
That's a good advice if you're a clerk. As a developer, I have services, daemons, build processes, open sessions of any kind, it's just simpler to let the PC idle a few hours than restarting all those sessions every day!

Well that is a massive difference from “it’s worse”. If Americans are paying so much more than other countries on their health care for something that isn’t leaps and bounds better, then they are getting fleeced. And given how many health outcomes in the US are fairly middling for a country of its size and wealth, it’s not a stretch to assume the health care isnt actually better. At the very least, you can conclude that whatever benefits their are to our stupendous health care are more than offset by the damage done by the prohibitive cost. Fantastic health care isn’t fantastic if people can’t afford it.

> Your reasoning is so far off. Banks don’t control how long it takes to move money, the fed does. Move money between accounts at the same bank, money transfer is instant.

Banks can be pretty silly with accounts at the same bank, too.

A friend of mine finished a contract job at a major defense contractor, which had a lump sum payment at the end. The company wrote him a large check, drawn on their account at the local branch of a major bank.

What he wanted to do was (1) open a checking account at that bank, (2) deposit about 95% of the check in that new account, and (3) take the remaining 5% as cash, for first and last month's rent at an apartment he wanted to rent that afternoon.

The bank could not do that. Even though the check was drawn on an account at that branch, they said it would still take three days to clear, so he would have to wait for the cash.

Finally, he ended up going to a teller and asking to cash the check. That, of course, worked, although it was a big enough check that it apparently triggered some safeguards that required getting a couple of levels of management above the teller involved, and so it took about an hour for them to actually hand him the cash.

He then took his cash, set aside 5% for getting that apartment he wanted, and took the remaining 95% back to the new accounts desk, and said "I want to open a checking count here, and deposit this cash".

Culture has a political element. Creating a new culture or building an authority over one would be as difficult as any political movement. Subcultures are usually built around selling a product where there's plenty of incentive to put the effort in to make it happen.

I think the young execute on a unique position to see the culture of their elders and actively choose to fill spots where it could be improved for their own benefit and drop customs that are no longer worth it.

Someone could test this:

- Measure bottle water microplastic contents.

- Measure tap water microplastic contents.

- Put tap water in bottles and graph amount of microplastics vs days. If you want to measure e.g. 10 days, fill and leave 10 * N bottles resting, then open and measure N bottles everyday.

- If it can be demonstrated that the plastics come from the bottle, repeat with other batches where every day the bottles are shaken vs still, or under the sun vs shadow, etc. to see what affects them the most.

Most of HN isn't shaped by moderators boosting stories. But some of it is. The intention is just to make the site more interesting to the community. We don't always get that right, because sometimes the stories we think people will like just get flagged, and in that case we usually accede to the flaggers and unboost the thing. But most of the time it seems to work out.
