It's a lot easier to define unprocessed than processed. Unprocessed is just how it is from plants or animals with little or no alteration. Processed is altered, like through mechanical action or chemical alteration, and also different things mixed together that are not in nature. The problem here is there are so many directions to go doing that, and so many degrees.

But in the end it doesn't matter, since it is becoming so overwhelmingly clear that it is best to stick with unprocessed.
Are you expecting them to be buried in a yard somewhere to be dug up and cashed in?
There is a very strong correlation between which additional tests are requested and what the hospital can charge under Medicare reimbursement codes. (My mother's boyfriend is a former doctor, and intimately familiar with the health-care system from the other side of the table.) Both of them are also in fairly good health (my mom has no pre-existing conditions, her boyfriend has some issues with his back but nothing unexpected for an 80-year-old), and were definitely not treated like this while on private health insurance.

What do you think would be different between 25-year-olds and elderly people? The incentives are the same in both cases, produced by the billing code.

One and a half year ago, I built an (unofficial) bot, Ragebot [0], that would function as spam protection for the many bot accounts joining public Kik groups. The project took off and was added to hundreds of thousands of groups by Kik users.

Two days ago, Ted Livingston announced the closure and Kik has been chaos throughout ever since, with people adopting Discord and Telegram to retain their online friend circles.

One way in which Kik stood out from other popular chat clients was the ability to search for public groups. Even though this feature came with some amount of darkness, people could easily find peers with common interests and make friends.

It's a real shame that this platform has to go. At the moment not much information is available beyond Ted's original blog post, I hope more clarification will follow soon.

ISIS and al-Qaeda were not involved in any of the maneuvering around Sana'a, and the Saudi intervention kicked off when they realized that a) Hadi still had a power base in the south, and b) the Houthis were about to capture it

I am a bit concerned by how I didn't even notice reading the article through only four exposed lines on the page while blocking out 80% of the space that had been taken over by ads popping in from all sides. It's become so commonplace that I've developed some kind of subconscious process to deal with it.

Oh it's horrendous. Slide up notification appears from the bottom, then 1 second later blue IBM ad covers screen (no X button as far as I can tell). Then another popup appears above the IBM ad with an ad. I close the bottom and popup and the IBM goes by itself, and a video to the left starts autoplaying (thankfully muted!). I scroll down and some animated ads dynamically appear on the right, followed by the big blue IBM ad covering the screen again. To the URL bar I march... https://outline.com/djgeH2
> WORSE, the admin overhead is pushed onto the providers, so the overhead cost gets hidden. It's not uncommon for a family medicine general practitioner to have a back office of 3-5 people dealing with billing and insurance paperwork.

My old doctor from when I was a baby till he retired had a practice with three to four other doctors. They had a nurse and one of the doctors wives did all the office work, billing, and answering phones. Current doctors practice has two doctors, four nurses, and eight office staff.

Old doctors office could would take x-rays and set a simple fracture. Or stitch up a simple cut. New doctor won't do any of that.
I was going through terrible times with my partner. I suspected he was cheating and I needed proof of this to back my claims. I couldn't continue with this. All I wanted was to be sure of what was going on before I make any decision. I don't make blind conclusions; I always want to see the proof for myself.
I took the pain of searching for a professional hacker who can help me hack all communication applications on his phone ( WhatsApp,Text messages, Facebook, Viber, Instagram and email). I was able to meet an amazing hacker his hack services was professionally executed. All the hack was done remotely. He didn't need physical access to the phone before it was hacked. Under 6 hours, the hack was done. Between these 6 hours, I was given updates about the progress of the hack. This gave me rest of mind; it was very easy to trust his work. Contact him Via the following bellow…..EMAIL:Jamesethicalhacker@gmail. com TEXT,CALL and WHATSAPP ON :+1(775)374-4344
If you are interested in any of any services which ranges from phone hacking to social media account hacking, you can get through to him via his email address OR phone number and he will deliver a perfect job for you.

I would not be surprised to find out that companies that have significant exposure to video game users have much higher DDOS risks.
That’s not the case. After a certain number of messages in a chat, old ones disappear.
You know Medicare sets separate prices from normal insurance, right? See [1]. For most procedures, there's the "we make up a number to charge to insurance companies" price and then there's the negotiated Medicare price with associated billing codes.

Scholar locks you out of the bibtexes after you download ~20 or so in my experience, but you can get around this if you instead save the paper to your favorites and then access the bibtex from the paper link in your favorites page.
A lot of devs these days have a similar mentality, and it's really, really sad.

I mean, I get it, getting bought out is how you get money. Competing is not an option. But in the end, it's like the only options in tech are to innovate for free (ie not sell out, but get copied) or innovate on your own dime and get paid way less than they make after buying you out.

Personally, I find neither of those exciting.
I think that's changed here in Australia too; in that a lot of the recipes you find online are much sweeter than they used to be back 20-30 years.

When we bake at home we regularly only use 1/4-1/3 of the sugar recommended, and sometimes that still ends up too sweet for our palates.
My mother-in-law did just that and is doing fine, thank you very much. May not be the world-beating "money in it" as you define it, but for the small business she's running it's viable.
You do realize that sexual assault and rape can occur even within the framework of marriage, right?

This framework only "minimizes grey areas" in the sense that a patriarchal society assumes sex to be the the duty of the wife to the husband, and that, therefore a womans' right to deny consent is nullified under the contract of marriage. But this isn't actually the case. A relationship is not a guarantee of perpetual sexual consent.
I guess you consider "I get to decide what work I'm doing" as freedom (advantage) in case of your own company?

Do you think it is even more bosses that you have as the entrepreneur (in the form of your customers) who indirectly dictate you what you need to do?
Have you ever been on Medicare? It is not that good.
The thing is that Amazon is emphatically not a small business. Amazon's customers are a pretty captive audience, and have to put up with what they got.

Same with other giants / monopolies; this is why monopolies are bad for customers.
That looks pretty cool. I have not joined the contactless payment game yet, but I'd consider wearing this.

Hetzner is 20 years old company with ~300 employees and ~230,000 servers. Of course on scale of AWS, Google and others it's fairly small, but CloudFlare is not all that much larger.
The amount of work that goes into car safety ratings, crash testing, and emissions testing is surprisingly high. It looks like almost every new yearly model is crash tested and all the variations are emissions tested.

A few years ago I found out that in addition to crash ratings, NHTSA publishes photos of every crash test. I built a site (https://www.officialdata.org/cars) that summarizes crash test ratings and includes the photos. However it looks like since then, NHTSA has created a better site that even features videos and other information: https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings

Things don't return a lot over zero in the long run. Maybe 5-7% in the absolute best case for long term returns. Enough that even a million dollars generates maybe less than $40k of reliable income.

Most people need to expend so much of their income just to live that this mostly doesn't affect the average person.

But yes, the rich get richer. They don't always buy things proportionally more, some of it just sits there.
I didn’t phrase that well. I meant that the wafer wafer and panel level embedded technologies embedded the silicon die inside of cheaper epoxy, instead of building expensive silicon interconnect to integrate them on. They basically make a plastic wafer with a bunch of die in it. Then interconnect is built up on that.

Edit: the links below show solder balls. Today this technology is used for packaging, and has been used on chips in phones for years now. In the near future, we should be able to embed or surface mount passives and mechanical components, so maybe we don’t need the PCB.

Canadian here and doing this for French and English has not been a major deal breaker. One of the qualifications we put on our documentation team was being bilingual.

You can also NOT use typical screenshots for documentation but rather have templates screenshots that contain no text and then layer the text over top of those and use things like language selection in the browser to load the correct language.

Employee training can be simplified by headquartering out of one country and having a "primary" language that you work out of day to day.

For many early startups having full fledged customer support (call center style) isn't likely anyway, doing it via chat / email / support tickets can be translated or you can diversify your support hires to cover the languages you officially support.

So is there additional costs - definitely - are they enough to impede and side rail a startup... likely not, and if they are that startup likely wouldn't have been able to succeed anywhere else either.

You're getting push back for the same reason you are shaking your head at the other poster - they are making it sound like it's free, and you're making it sound like it's going to crush someone.... it's slightly more effort with possibly a greater reward if you are able to do it properly.

Ah, yes, well for most indoor parking garages my usual strategy is to immediately head for the top (or bottom) floor. Almost nobody parks there unless they have to, so there's often lots of open spaces and much less traffic.
If there aren't and good spots on the last level, then there likely aren't any good spaces anywhere in the garage anyway.
The only way I've seen these used IRL is to replace hiding the keys under the mat. So IMO this is still an improvement.
Well some regular vape mods can use nicotine salts, so I don't see what's unique. Never tried these so I have no idea why that's different as I said. Just what I picked up from the buzz around their launch about the "faster better hit".

WTF Is the Federal Reserve [audio]
It’s still $0.6 trillion dollars saved per year, and a solid place to start. There’s all sorts of other places that a socialized system saves of course. This would at least make the US no longer far and away the worlds worst.

Bringing everyone under a single umbrella should reduce everyone’s cost of coverage to the per capita cost, $10K (now $8K after savings). Then as a progressive tax system yields costs that scale according to your income the least able to afford it pay much less than that and the most able pay much more. Done and done. This is what the rest of the world does, no new ground is being broken here.

Imagine if grocery stores forced us to choose one of a few dozen grocery "insurance" memberships to buy groceries, and negotiated directly with the insurers. No prices are labeled in store, they just detect whatever you take and send you a bill at the end of the month. (Differing brands of the same food product are not available in store of course.) Individuals are charged 3-100x more per product than negotiated rates, but can't find out until afterwards. Grocery "insurance" would then become a necessity. People would trade away disproportionate amounts of their salary to get good grocery benefits from their employers, i.e. to not get price-gouged by virtue of being an individual on the market. Stores would run discount programs for the very poor, which they could point to when people get outraged (as drug companies do now.) When politicians would threaten the system, grocery stores would fund ads about the "long lines" and limited food availability that would occur. Instead laws would get passed reinforcing the system by making sure everyone gets grocery insurance, as its a necessity (and it would _be_ a necessity).

I'm not saying that health care _could_ be exactly like grocery stores, with many alternatives, transparent pricing, and customers making the final decisions, but that it would have to be much _more_ like grocery stores to call it a free market. What we are working with now is just a system of pricing cartels supported by fear and lobbying. It needs to go.
I think we need a better "obviousness" hurdle for patents.

And we need to get rid of "do something we already do, but wirelessly!" patents and "do something we already do, but using a computer or network!" patents.
Ask HN: Will software get shipped without any management?
I was thinking about necessity of standups/daily status reports in the process of software development and I'm wondering what will change if we get rid of any form of management. I mean don't do standups, don't formally plan for the future work, don't assign tasks and so on.

The only thing that will remain is the product owner will create issues to implement features clients want (but team also can create issues). Then it will split up by the team without any form of formal process. Anyone can pick any issue to work on.

Like idealised Valve && GitLab && Basecamp culture but applied to < 10 developers on a remote team.

The base values of the company are defined as `deep work` and `asynchronous and open communications`

What do you think of the idea? Do you have an experience of working in such environment?

As a developer you process will look like:
- choose the issue to work on
- ask questions if you have some
- check for maximum time (in weeks) we can dedicate on this issue (if it's defined) and if it doesn't fit with your expectations ask to reconsider the scope (but you don't track time on the issue)
- get offline and work on the issue

Also, each 1/2 days make a review of awaiting PRs and check for questions your team has (you are expected to ask them in public channel, pm can be used only for private discussions not related to project like personal questions or so).

Finally as most of the time you work alone and do not collaborate much, there will be optional pair programming sessions or weekly video calls where you can discuss any topics you want.
Interesting. Not come across that before, but it gels with my experience. I found it far easier quitting vaping than switching tobacco to vapes, nor had a huge issue pausing vaping for a day or two.
Are you sure they haven't "just picked one"? Amazon, and AWS in particular, have a long history of not reinventing anything, just packaging an existing open/free thing up and selling access to it.

I suspect the quickest way to find out if this is LoraWAN or Zigbee or Weightless will be to keep an eye on who switches to a Mongo/Redis style "commons clause" of "SSPL" license... ;-)
>But they can - and will - find other procedures. Not making enough money from that doctor's visit? Well, we better do some tests, then, just to be sure there's no lurking problem. Oh, there was a spot on that X-ray - more tests. We didn't find anything serious, but there was a benign growth that you probably should get taken care of. Don't worry, it's a quick procedure, it could potentially be done as an outpatient but you might want to make it an overnight hospital stay just to be sure. Shit, you contracted an infection in the hospital? Gotta extend that stay until you're better.

Right. This is exactly what we want (save the MRSA). The problem with the American healthcare system isn't just that it's expensive; it's expensive and still has worse outcomes than in other industrialized countries. Part of the reason for that is that patients cut off their care for financial reasons, and not because they've reached a satisfactory conclusion about their state of health.

The way you describe the mindset isn't a function of Medicare per se, but of the fact that there's still a profit motive involved, even when receiving Medicare funding, in a system that is largely privately-funded. Maybe releasing that source of pressure and competition and scarcity will change the way people on both sides of the doctor-patient relationship approach their care.
If there was more to your initial comment I could have said more, but you essentially said 'whatabaout you having a smartphone' and that was it. The sole argument was fallacious, and there was nothing more I could reply to...
Ah yes, the "club". I would argue not tech more than most. Never in history has a club so provided all the information needed to participate so freely and openly. So it's not about exclusion in that way.

My wife and I talk about this a bit, one idea that comes up is that if there is disenfranchised group of equal or superior talent (eg in this case women) then there is also a strong opportunity to form a competing "club" - if you can't join em, beat em.
Stop voting up all these people that don't want to fix it. It's that simple. Just stop it.
You'd think in 2019 that they could think of another use besides managing a shopping list for the woman.

That's exactly it.

You cannot classify food as processed or cooked without handwaving and saying it's some "other" without any real way to decide what to label a food. It's nonsense virtue signaling adjective soup.

And it is still unclear if I make meatloaf to freeze and am in a bad mood whether or not that food is processed. Maybe I have to use a really big oven to make sure it's processed instead of cooked.

Commentary published in Environmental Health Perspectives in April 2010 suggested that PET might yield endocrine disruptors under conditions of common use and recommended research on this topic.[26]
You don't. You simply teach them that they can be easily fooled. That's the beginning. Among other things, slight of hand magic and optical illusions are both fun, easy to grasp, and get the point across. Reason comes later.

When my boy was a preschooler he came home one day with a terrible story about how his friend's dad had been sucked up by a vacuum cleaner! He was pretty spooked by the story. I simply said, "Hmm, interesting, let's try it." We got out the vacuum cleaner and I let him attempt to suck me up with it. It was fun, funny, and I could see the lightbulb go off in his head.

One thing that I like about DuckDuckGo is that you can browse results with arrow keys and enter. No simple way to load the next page, sadly. If you have it set as the search engine in Firefox, you can get mouseless search with ctrl+t and f6 if needed.

This is not to say that Qwant is horrible because of not having this (I just ran a couple of test queries and the results seem decent), just it would be nice if different "indie" search engines allowed navigation with keyboard.
Oh the thought of going to the doctor without that time of uncertainty about the bill that'll be coming. $200? $500? No, no bill is coming.
You can also test electrolytic in-circuit using an ESR meter. That's effective series resistance if I'm remembering correctly.

That’s a real strawman there. There is a difference between “a majority” and “all”; I did not at any point say that there is “never marital rape”, nor did I say that there is “never rape in an established relationship”. I certainly did not say that “martial rape is OK”.

However, in all of the campus sexual assault accusations I have seen, not a single one was one where the two people were married to each other.

In the real world, not everything is black and white. There are gray areas. It’s much less likely a sexual assault accusation will happen in a marriage. This does not mean it will never happen; don’t pretend that I said something I never said.
I've done this repeatedly. I like to put mildly insulting things in all the form fields before I lock out the account entirely.
