There's a lot of room in our society to emotionally vent; it just happens in private relationships and on internet forums. The challenge is that the emotions are often uncontained, and uncontained emotion is closely related to violence, as you say.

It's crazy that micro-plastics are even in the air. Gross!
Big tech companies are already doing this to influence public opinions.
I am not saying so either, because only a fool would claim men don’t have emotions and don’t need to be seen. What I am saying is that seeing and learning how to be seen is hard, and approaching others and oneself as a narrative is directly unhelpful towards that goal.

I suggest reading the book if you are interested in the topic because it’s not saying what you think it says and will help you utilize your faculties more adaptively.

In the worst case you think it’s bull.

Public education does not do anything to eliminate religion except where they disagree, as in evolution vs. Biblical creationism.
Hospitals / insurance can do these things because of state legislature that's written or influences by doctors. Check who's sitting on your local Medical Board.

Doctors "only" collect <20% of all medical expenses as salaries, but they enable the rest because they control (directly or indirectly) the top of the funnel through scope of practice, medical education, generics designation, and other laws.

If you cut down the root of the problem by removing MDs from decision making on supply side legislation, the rest of the malignant vegetation (insurance, hospital admins, pharmas, PBMs, etc) will starve consequently.

One area where I've noticed that Google Translate frequently fails at is with what's known as "false friends"[1].

For example, if you try to translate "condescending" to Spanish it will give you "condescendiente", but that means "to tend to adapt to the likes and wishes of others", which is completely different from the English definition of "to display a patronizing, superior attitude".

Translate "fallacy" and it will give you "falacia", which is kind of similar, but different. In English it means "incorrectness of reasoning", but in Spanish it means "false argument to trick or cause error", meaning that the Spanish word implies malicious intent.

Translate "patronize" and it will give you "patrocinar", which means "to sponsor". "patrocinar" can't be used in the sense of "to treat in a condescending manner".

It's pretty hard to catch these kinds of things until you're really experienced with both languages.

Aside from making me feel tragically old (I'd been working professionally for years at that point), it was just interesting to hear someone recount a totally different view of the cataclysm.

The most efficient solution is an "all payer rate set system" - aka One price per procedure.

YES, the system we have is insane.

NO, unfortunately none of us are doing anything about it because we don't think beyond "single payer" system which itself has its own set of issues no one digs into because "single payer" is so awesome.

Everytime I mention "all payer rate set system" the discussion halts as if I am an alien from outer space.

If we are make ourselves go through an overhaul, and all the pain and suffering it entails, our sights should be on an "all payer rate set system" that's already proven to be way more effective than whatever people mean by "single payer" system.
I happen to hate errno with passion, so that option is out :)

Besides especially on 64 bit systems I don't think we are going to run out of negative numbers any time soon. Of course there are the few outliers that need the whole space (mmap), but those should be fairly rare?
It's just hard to believe nobody has made one yet.
So there are a couple of these around or attempted. One of the main problems though is time. One of the strongest selling points of FB/Twitter/etc is mindless scrolling which you can do in 30 second spurts while waiting in line, on a break etc. Can't really do this with longer audio clips. There is a reason why TikTok is 15 seconds.

For longer content why not just listen to professionally made podcasts?

Not to be a downer, but what is the case that there is a more than just a small niche market for and audio social network?

Our society will always value men who are confident, this is so much deeper to me than being scared to share your feelings because “it’s gay”. Women are attracted to confidence, employers reward confidence, hiring managers are impressed by confidence. Vulnerability and weakness are just not rewarded for men or women, but especially for men.

You put a spotlight by saying "privacy and security focused alternative to segment"

Are there things you believe make segment not privacy and security focused? As a long time user of segment, I find their protocols feature and new data and privacy features world class for this.

Having also just left their Synapse conference, privacy and security was the #1 topic of discussion throughout the conference. I would say they are very much privacy and security focused.

Not trying to shill, but it comes off as maybe you are misrepresenting segment a little bit. "Open source segment alternative" would have probably been just fine.

> I downvoted you because there is no "right" stack. All popular languages have good web frameworks. The right one to launch with is the one your team knows the best.

Surely there are more appropriate stacks for specific problem domains? Like how using R outside of data analysis is probably weird, or writing your microcontroller code in nodejs is probably a bad idea.

Utrip: Why Did They Fail?
We started this before segment launched the privacy tool so yes that was a good validation of the pain point.

However, unlike segment we don't require you to send all your events to us. You are welcome to download and run the software yourself without ever talking to us.

We believe, having to send everything to a 3rd party (segment) goes against the fundamental goal of guaranteeing user privacy.

When you think of the typical archetype for men learning to cope with emotion, it's generally by overcoming personal hardship or difficult challenges through perseverance. But we see where this fails in situations where you have no control such as in a warzone, as there is no real way to overcome. Maybe addressing emotions directly, after the fact as it were, culturally signifies that the individual failed to overcome the situation from which the pain originated, and since there is a huge association in Western culture between masculinity and self competence, the stigma is now against an individual's entire masculinity.
Huh, thanks for that, I never thought of the --- as being part of the YAML (as a document divider); I always thought of it as being part of the Markdown (as a horizontal rule).

I agree with you that it's cute to be able to parse YAML frontmatter by streaming the file to a YAML parser that's been instructed to stop after the first document... but it makes me all the more uneasy about frontmatter as a concept. Call me old fashioned, but I want my files to contain just one kind of syntax.

> Hey! New dev honestly trying to learn why PHP matters at all in 2019. Is PHP something I should stop learning JS for? In all my (very limited) experience, PHP does not solve any problem JavaScript can't, and JS is also far more in demand.

If the only motivation for learning a language is applicability to the job field, javascript probably will open more doors at this point, depending on your location.

PHP is really great for getting MVPs out the door in my experience, but a productive engineer in any language would likely have the same experience in the language of their choosing. I am by no means a PHP developer though.
But those factors can easily be summed up as: Trust. Not many are able to demonstrate that trust to the board, and so the supply is vanishingly small.

Physician here.

The problem with this law is it takes the medical reimbursement contract system and then shoots the physicians in the back.

When insurance companies are trying to get people to join their network, they offer competitive rates. Once they are large enough, they start to exert downward pressure on physician reimbursement to both existing and new medical service providers (hospitals and physicians). The only way to counteract their pricing power is to be willing to walk. Physicians do not like going out of network; the insurance companies make it incredibly painful, refuse to pay you, and instead send the check to the patient who is expected to deposit it and forward it to the patient (if they pay at all).

However, what has happened post-ACA is massive consolidation across the medical services sector so that large staffing companies would deliberately go out of network to force better rates strategically. It was no longer the individual physicians choice whether or not to out of network; rather their employers'.

However, these laws are a huge gift to the insurance companies. They remove the physician/hospital's ability to negotiate, and already, we are seeing insurance carriers refuse to negotiate or offer rates greater than 125% of Medicare. It also completely eliminates the incentive for insurance carriers to even bother creating a provider network. This is not the intent of the law and fundamentally is acting as a wage-cap.

Medicare rates are intentionally set by fiat and often below the cost of goods sold. 125% of Medicare is an arbitrary "sounds good" number that is not helping anyone but the insurance companies.

Instead, a better version of the law would be to have payments indexed to the FAIR health claims database [https://www.fairhealth.org].

Yes, I agree the medical reimbursement system in the US is not ideal; however, this is tantamount to price fixing which in EVERY thread on compensation for software engineers, people think what Google/Apple/et Al did to prevent wage increases and poaching was unethical and unfair to workers. I don't think this is any different.
Medicaid + Medicare is bigger than all private insurance combined, so have huge effects on the market. Federal + State government account for 45% of all health care spending.

Yeah for sure. I think we are on the same page. I was specifically pointing out the OP seemingly putting SV at odds with WeWork implying WeWork is ridiculous with ego, money, et al, and not SV.
There are things like CONSORT[1] which kind of do this. Statisticians like Fisher[2] have a ton of good general advice of the design of experiments. (A plug for The Lady Tasting Tea[3] and the 7 Pillars of Statistical Wisdom[4] feels appropriate here.)

On the whole though, most of the things you should and should not do are so domain specific its very hard to give much useful advice at the level of "all science." Right now this seems to work because researchers are so eager to anticipate objections and
and avoid unnecessary arguments during peer review they stick slavishly stick to the same methods used by seminal papers in their field, and this has the same effect as running down a checklist.

There probably is a case to be made for using an actual checklist, though[5].

One tactic I use is to search on words in some comment I left in the discussion. If I search on my HN name, words I probably don't use overly much and check comments, I can frequently find it.

Sometimes, fiddling with the time frame helps. If I have some hand wavy idea of when I read it and not enough other info, I will resort to playing with that element of the search engine.

It's tedious, but sometimes results in successfully finding what I was looking for.

A somewhat related story.

My first degree was in a foreign language; I was taking it for my own reasons but one of the professors I was close to knew I was very involved in technology and linguistics. She asked in, maybe in 1992, whether I thought computers would eliminate the jobs of translators "soon."

I remember looking at her and saying that no, not until the mid-2000s or so, because of the twin problems of voice recognition and OCR: in both cases, you need both a corpus for translation and to build it you need to get the data into machine form.

I was off by maybe 6-10 years but machine translation really did start making inroads for professional writing around then (and maybe a little sooner). Now, though, the job is totally transformed. Live translation is still a real job but a hard one to land and with fewer opportunities, and media translation while it is still a career (especially for science and technology papers, etc.) it is dramatically changed and is now more of an editing job than a translation job. That happened in a few years, tops, once the tools arrived.

So .. maybe we're whistling in the dark. A lot of what we do cannot really ever be practically done by AI, but I think a lot could be. The demise of the CASE market probably delayed a lot of what's coming for a long time, and a lot of things likely will be automated. I think UI design is ripe since so many UIs basically look exactly the same.
