It's one of those thing that's technically required, but that there's no enforcement allowed before a demand is made, and in practice is not enforced.

17 USC 407:

Sometimes a place can fall apart from the inside, knowledge rot eating away at a engineering culture, like termites at a house. In the end, its all still there- but not reliable.

MCAS is ducttape. Ducttape applied, because the whole culture is by now incentivize screwed, pennywise optimizing instead of pound problem solving.
A "carry on" is actually the hostile action in this situation.

Your second paragraph makes sense if they went back to the original licence. They haven’t so far. All old answers (99.999%) are currently served with a misrepresentation of license terms. If they do not go back to the correct license, they have no right to continue distributing. Without the terms of the license, they have only fair use rights under copyright law.

ALSO, the previous license did not allow the company to relicence.
How? Why doesn't anyone open a nonprofit restaurant and outcompete the for-profit ones?
It's a fine book. My learning after that book was to try to ask for and read the checklist for medical procedures my family members undergo. At least over here (the Netherlands) they are usually given without problem or even publically accessible online. In case of the chemo of my father, I was able to point to missed steps twice, once needing immediate intervention. In case of simple family disease I can at least understand the reasoning of our GP without totally cross-examining him.

In work I've only once (alas) hit the sweet spot of having team members being able and willing to define their own checklist and following and refining it regularly. The results were pretty great (30x efficiency gains on the same procedure in two years). Since, I've noticed quite a lot of professionals being resistant to the idea of checklists. The dogma is that you can't capture skill, experience and intelligence in a checklist. That's a false dichotomy, since the checklist is ment to save you from embarrassing errors, but it's a persistent thought.
There is no clear cause and effect that chronic stress can cause cancer: https://www.healthline.com/health/can-stress-cause-cancer

Although there is plenty of suspicion that it can (even if indirectly through stress related lifestyle choices like smoking, alcohol, poor food).
So there’s the profits, and there’s the costs of the profit system. Which is why you have to look in places like administrative costs which are something like 17% in private insurance. Profit is the money over revenue - costs, so yes the profit is a center of waste, but there’s a ton of waste in the costs department that would not be necessary in a universal system.

There’s also a lot of makework jobs wrapped in there too, so it’s no doubt a complicated problem.

For some of the best, making and guiding companies is their art and obsession.

That's the nice take on it.

For others (or from a different perspective) for some making money itself is a bit of an addiction that swallows everything else.

I know a great guy -- very kind, very smart. But he doesn't really know how to have fun if he's not making money. That's his game and he's great at it. But I feel like he's missing out on a lot out of life. And he understands that on an intellectual level. But he can't imagine doing anything else.

I am personally very conflicted when it comes to people who almost insanely dedicate themselves to one pursuit. On one hand I feel sorry for them because I feel like they miss out on a lot. On the other hand, I'm very glad they exist. They do things no one else can or will do and our world is better off for it.

The Chinese room thought experiment is based on logically unsound reasoning and I don’t understand why it has taken hold as widely as it has. The logical argument is that a composite object of a book, room, and person following directions cannot understand Chinese, but there is no justification for this claim—it is, as far as I can tell, a complete non-sequitur. Perhaps I just misunderstand it?

Because the logic underlying the Chinese room argument is unsound, it naturally leads to some bizarre conclusions. I think it’s a bit of a tragedy that it’s a staple of philosophy 101 courses, unless you use it as an example for teaching logic by dissecting it and showing how it is unsound.

Personally my view is that as much as we need our scientists and ML researchers to study epistemology, we need our epistemologists to study science and mathematics. Any coherent and comprehensive epistemological system in the future will have to somehow synthesize things like substance monism, post-Fisherian / post-Bayesian statistics, post-Popper science, and computational complexity theory. Just as too many ML researchers are reluctant to dip into philosophy and reinvent a poorer version of old philosohpical arguments, there are too many philosophers that would rather e.g. rehash some ideas of Hegel rather than step outside their own field long enough to synthesize new ideas.

So there are problems with Medicare, but you seem to know about this so I’m curious what you would suggest we do to provide coverage to millions of poor Americans currently going without. I’m no policy expert and I thought M4A is a great idea. Thanks!

I don't think there's much demand for direct flights to Western Australia, there's not much there. Surprisingly Qantas does fly a PER-LHR route.

But yeah, I don't think there exists a NA<->AU route with practical stops in China or Russia https://i.succ.in/6myR8ZFQ.png
By the numbers you just cited --- higher than the numbers I found, but only by single digits --- if you zeroed out administrative costs, eliminating not just insurance but any money paid anywhere to administer health benefits --- you would bring the cost of a low-deductible family health plan down by about $100/month. That is simply not enough, not nearly enough, to address the problem. Our national health care problem is not that plans cost $100 too much.
Harmful is wrong word: "less effective" is more realistic. The title of this post is clickbaity. The "goto considered harmful" was the start of this and the overall pattern has not improved with age.

Most mouse GUI actions don't require complex curves even when they appear to. You can see this when you look at GUI recording and automation scripts generated or supported by tools such as Sikuli [1]. The better approaches don't even require precise coordinates for most actions let one complex curves/lines.

What the mouse does provide is a suitably generic input device that allows exploration and discovery. A strict CLI style user interface doesn't tend to have this level of possibility without rapidly becoming overly simplistic. Readline support is a good attempt for most realistic use cases but still requires a learning curve.

Final note for people who think mice are intuitive: back in the day I had to train people on how to use the mouse button to click a onscreen button. The two events are not inherently obvious - they just appear so now because our culture has now adopted it. The bar has been raised.

Had the #1 selling product in the majority of the 450 doors I was in. Customers always raved about our flavors which was a direct result of having the strictest QC standards around our distillate manufacturing. We made sure to distill our oils so that there were no residual terpenes that could contribute to off flavors through oxidation. We were militant about it. Every other brand sourced oil from the open market. A side effect of having the most pure distillate oil is that it's also the most potent.

Listening to the customer feedback I never heard anyone compliment our potency. Later on the hardware for vape carts evolved and new carts came out that could provide higher doses. Our oil did not taste good in those carts so we didn't make the switch. Then when the feedback started rolling in that our cartridges weren't strong enough (they just didn't vaporize as much oil..) we finally made the switch. By then we had lost our market position. Turns out customers liked our flavor but the reason they were really purchasing was the potency.

When you're on top you think it's your brand or your QC that's carrying you...when really it was just a potency game all along.
Nice list. Good for playing with something and pet projects.

Would it have been the same meal, cooked by people with the same level of talent, served with the same care? "Profit" is not just a disposable line item.
The situation is slightly more complex than this article recognizes.

1. When a hospital, either for-profit or not-for-profit, must provide free care to a patient, it comes out of their hide. Enough of this free care can force the hospital to demand higher rates. See https://hmsa.com/portal/provider/zav_pel.fh.DIA.650.htm Medicare and Medicaid foots part of the free care bill. And, yes, patients who turn up at emergency departments get some free care. It makes the news when a hospital kicks patients to the curb because they can't pay.

2. Enough free care can bankrupt a hospital or force it to close. In under-served areas (rural) this is, umm, not good for the community served by the hospital.

3. Corporations -- hey fellow HN readers, our employers -- must offer private health insurance. This is a HUGE pain in the neck for executives (some HN readers, that's you and me). They have to scare up health plans their companies and employees can afford, so they must waste their time doing that instead of, I dunno, designing products or calling on prospective customers. Sure, we get entrepreneurs trying to help with this. Zenefits. Need I say more? It's time-wasting madness.

4. Corporations must pay insane amounts of money for health plans for their people. And it's compound insanity. That's like compound interest, but worse.

5. Employees (that's you and me, HN readers) have to waste our time and spend our money on our part of health insurance costs.

6. "Medicare for all" invokes a health-care payment system that's proven to work at scale, and is reasonably accountable to all its stakeholders. (Except for part D / drugs / the subject of another rant for another day.)

My point: in the long run, being business-centric is the SAME THING as being patient-centric. In this area, Mitt Romney was right: "corporations are people."

I am baffled by politicians' complaints that some kind of government option for paying for health care is bad because it will raise taxes. Don't they know what we know? Paying for health care is already a massive tax on both employers and employees.

It's just hidden by a shell game. It's not actually a tax, it's a tax deduction. If you believe this, maybe I can rent you a some space in the huge dirigible hangar at Moffett Field. Cheap. Send me your bitcoin.

Can you imagine how much more successful a YC company might be if they didn't have to sweat this health-insurance stuff? Can you imagine how much more successful GM and Tesla would be if they knew their workers' health care was covered?

How come captains of industry and bigshot VCs aren't demanding better?

Yeah, some companies will suffer when this changes. But almost all companies suffer now.

Ask HN: What are some tools/methods to help teams schedule meetings efficiently?
There has been a concern lately on my team about the number of regularly scheduled meetings eating into their productivity. There is a consensus that just about all of the meetings are necessary so having less meetings isn't really an option. However, one way to improve the situation would be to batch all meetings within 1-2 days per week rather than have them spread throughout the entire week. The struggle is that there a large number of meetings, each with different combinations of 2-4 people, so it's difficult to batch meetings for everyone.

I recall hearing about a tool that would let people plan meetings in advance and the tool would schedule them in batches so the team could maximize their uninterrupted focus time. I would also be open to some type of methodology instead of a tool to accomplish our goal.

What do you do to plan meetings more efficiently?
I'm not clear on how this would happen on wayland as I haven't done any development on it yet, but with X it would be tricky since the server still has the window hierarchy state for event routing etc.

If you simply mirrored redirected windows in triplicate all over the place in the compositor, it wouldn't magically make the window manager and X server aware of all those areas as being windows to manage and route events at. You'd just have these ghost windows that can't be directly interacted with as first-class windows.
Contrarian viewpoint: NOT focusing on the profits is the cause of the problem.

Hypothesis:
Prices are high because of inefficiencies in the markets caused by bad laws attempting to subsidize one class of people by another.
Hospitals aren't able to refuse treatment by law to those that can't afford to pay for their services and insurance companies are coerced to insure unprofitable people by law and the net effect is to try and coerce people into a redistribution of money from people that require more care from those that require less care to cover these expenditures.

Because there is no mechanism to coerce people to do this willingly that's efficient enough for the increasing demands of those requiring care, both industries to give the invoices to the government (who created the problem) thereby getting rid of the requirement to think about how they will fund their expenditures - making it the governments problem to figure out.

This thereby allows them to continue uncontrolled expenditure resulting in exuberant prices in an ever increasing downward spiral to catastrophe as in effect they are spending 'other peoples money' in the hopes that "eventually these invoices will be paid" through some sort of government sponsored coercion mechanism forcing socialized heath care or some other such method with the same result.

Its really quite simple and clever and funny how it still works.

-5% of the population accounts for more than half of all health spending.

-50% of the population with the lowest spending accounts for only 3% of all total health spending.

Edit: Anytime I share this viewpoint, a bunch of either misguided or prejudiced people downvote me. I'm guessing its because they don't understand the argument completely, or see its logic, but disagree with its implications.

I don't know. What I'm advocating is that any discussion of the US health care problem start with a breakdown of where the money is going in our system. There are competing breakdowns, but any of them would be better than the default presumption we seem to have that the problem with health care is "insurance companies and prescription drugs". No breakdown I've seen on any side of this debate shows that either of those things are the true driver of costs in our system.

I'm not defending either the current private health insurance system, which I think needs drastic reform, or the market for prescription drugs, which is dysfunctional in a bunch of ways. But I am unconvinced that the public intuition about the overall health care problem is well informed.

Again, why?

If it wasn't "making and guiding companies", but e.g. someone was obsessed with making spaghetti paintings, and working for it the same hours, would we consider them balanced?

Partway through that particular gig, the IBM CE came by and installed COBOL. (For many years, I had ranted about how much I hated COBOL.) So I transitioned all the RPG code to COBOL and what a relief.

So I had to eat a little crow.

Shortly after my gig, they went full scale IBM and built an IT department, as opposed to just a system 34 in accounting.

So no support calls for me.

Why are you assuming that I would spend less time with e.g. my wife if she were less efficient in performing some menial task? It would take her longer _to complete_, but that doesn't mean she wouldn't still quit working at 5. Besides, most of the software we write is pretty inconsequential as far as most people are concerned.
Cows absolutely do not have a lifespan of 5-7 years. Wild cattle easily live 20+ years; same for cared for domesticated species.

Please don't accuse others of having been manipulated into their beliefs, especially when your claims on the subject are so inaccurate.

I was reading CAN-SPAM and I came across the definition of "electronic mail message" in 15 USC § 7702(6)

> The term “electronic mail message” means a message sent to a unique electronic mail address.

Note that it doesn't specify anything about SMTP or any specific email protocols besides the address. I wonder if messaging systems that use email addresses as identifiers might unintentionally be subject? E.g. Ads shown through Facebook custom audiences with email address lists.

I think it's easy to understand sarcasm when you know who you're talking to, such as a group of friends or coworkers. But when you're part of a huge online community like hn that discourages humor, it's pretty easy to understand why people fail to recognize it - this community punishes sarcasm more often than it rewards it. And most of us are not talented enough at writing that we can make it easily understandable to a broad audience.
