It's not ignoring that at all. The insurer's profit comes from the investment of capital. Before they make their first dollar they have to lay out money to acquire an office building to operate out of, hire lawyers and actuaries to establish procedures to operate under, maintain a large pile of money in reserve in case there are an unexpected number of claims etc. The profits are the returns on that investment, and if it wasn't a private company then the public would have had to supply that capital instead. You don't get out of paying for it -- otherwise it would be easy to avoid by having the government establish an independent non-profit insurance company.
Many people have been raised in a social environment, where that sort of behavior is considered hostile and disrespectful. If you're laughing in someone's face, they have no idea of whether or not you think their work is shit, or they are shit.

The OP believes that it is not hostile or disrespectful.

If neither group changes their behavior, he's going to be the one who lose out in this exchange. He can feel he is in the right, he may even be in the right, but that's a bit of a questionable hill to die on.
Cipher Agility Considered Harmful
They will ask and receive–and then lash and maul a while and then do the needful
A recursive parsing call stack has the overhead of pushing/popping return addresses and maybe a couple other registers. Maybe a bit more if there are security protections like stack cookies that didn't get optimized away, or if shadow stacks are enabled. It's not free, but is pretty cheap. A non-recursive use of std::stack dodges some of that, but instead has the overhead of dynamic allocation, which I'm generally going to consider more expensive - but does have the advantage of being more of a once-off cost - so perhaps it'd be cheaper for long but shallow JSON objects? The cost of the call stack vs std::stack is probably dwarfed by the cost of allocating arrays/objects/strings and decoding in either case.

If you want to over-optimize for that specific case anyways, you can take a hybrid approach with smaller stacks kept on the stack in a single linear root blob, with larger stacks falling back onto the heap, using a non-recursive style.

However, if you're capping JSON depths as an anti-DoS measure anyways (your parser isn't the only thing possibly vulnerable to blowing the stack via recursion - anything dealing with the parsed result is also in danger if it can be recursive), the heap fallback may be entirely dead code anyways... so why bother coding it?
Without any arguments it's just data. Is a lack of spending on key infrastructure, tied to poorer outcomes something we can discuss?
I'm not sure this is the best article to discuss the causes/mitigations.

There was one interesting data point, but no source of cause listed.
>for care centers that experienced a breach, it took an additional 2.7 minutes for suspected heart attack patients to receive an electrocardiogram.

Is this while they were prevented from performing care? Thankfully PBS's article goes into more details

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/science/ransomware-and-other-da...

>hospitals that experienced a data breach, the death rate among heart attack patients increased in the months and years afterward. This increased mortality doesn’t appear to be due to the perpetrators themselves — the hackers are not controlling the allocation of medications or doctors. Rather the issue may lie with how health care systems adjust their cybersecurity after an attack

Which makes a much different argument: the hospital response to a Cybersecurity incident increases mortality (thus: can we expect a similar uptick in negative outcomes amongst healthcare organizations who implement similar security polices?)

Research paper: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/1475-6773.1...

The PBS article points out that security practices applied to clinicians led to this problem.

Do we have evidence that the hacking took advantage of the EMR's security issues?

>Time from door to ECG significantly increased after a breach and the elevated time to ECG persisted at 4 years after the breach. Security typically adds inconvenience by design—making it more inconvenient for the adversary. For example, stricter authentication methods, such as passwords with two‐factor authentication, are additional steps that slow down workflow in exchange for added security. Lost passwords and account lockouts are nuisances that may disrupt workflow. The persistence in the longer time to ECG suggests a permanent increase in time requirement due to stronger security measures.

So what compromise is possible to ensure fast login? Can two factor login be limited to new login devices? (Thus limiting impact to those working in new locations?)

Login devices which aren't recognized? (Ie: external servers)

Should EMR login be separated from local PC login within a hospital/emergency department? (Cold booting a PC and logging into windows would be the slowest response time).

Can we tie logins to employee badges to skip all password entry? (Lost badges would thus warrant reporting loss.)
Yeah, but even without tuning, you can have hundreds of "sparse" queues with this pattern - you don't have to care about the frequency of insertions or deletions or the size of the rows.
SE = structural engineering? That's cool, I'm glad your discipline is receiving some ethical training. I've never heard of any CS program including any sort of engineering or general ethics courses in their curricula.
Re the CTE optimization boundary comment: this changed in Postgres 12! By default, they are no longer a boundary. You can change the behaviour on a per-query level, too. As always, depesz has an article going into the details: https://www.depesz.com/2019/02/19/waiting-for-postgresql-12-...
Is the TSA the FBI? They're not looking for perpetrators, they're looking for terrorists. I promise you the US government has a vast database of biometric information of suspected terrorists.

The fact we all have to suffer thru terrible, imperfect authentication techniques like looking at your birthday shows we should have a database to save us all the grief.

Honestly all your arguments are actually GREAT reasons to have a national DNA index.
I can say firsthand, using FBA for a product absolutely boosts it's search ranking, and leads to an increase in sales. Sometimes dramatically so.

It's not uncommon to offer both FBA and FBM on the same item, in case you run out of stock of the FBA item or vice-versa. Same price, same delivery dates... but the FBA product will outpace your FBM product dramatically.

So those merchants that try to FBM exclusively are put at a double disadvantage - rank worse in search, and get harshly penalized if a product is delivered late (even though once it leaves your warehouse, it's up to the USPS/UPS/FedEx meet their delivery promise).

Also, the article alleges FBA fees are not in-line with market rates for 3PL, and the close tie between Amazon's Logistics Network and Marketplace has caused a price increase to consumers, which harms consumers unfairly - thus the Anti-Trust case.
I've been reading "Drawdown: The most comprehensive plan ever proposed to reverse global warming" edited by Paul Hawken

https://www.drawdown.org/the-book

My impression so far is that offshore wind, onshore wind, and solar are promising solutions for doing the bulk of the heavy lifting for energy production. Of course it isn't an all or nothing, but scaling up nuclear isn't 'vital'.
Smart idea, that actually saves them money.

> irresponsible tool usage

Your continued attempts to frame Pizzagate as some bipartisan magnanimous effort by non-violent gunmen is just bizarre.

A firearm is not a tool for unlocking doors, you are attempting to claim he brought it there to unlock doors which is an invention of narrative.

>but it is not violent

Oh yea those classic peaceful gunmen, driven by conspiracy theories propagated by someone directly involved in an Epstein court case. Siding against the accuser, working in conjunction with Epstein's ex-lawyer. Shooting expressly violent weapons in public venues they stormed.

Everyone loves a mob of armed delusional fanatics seeking Hillary Clinton's child sex dungeons in places named by Trump's defenders.

Totally not a deflection away from the testimony of the accusers, one groomed from Trump's Mar-a-Lago.

edit: If you'd like I could transcribe the court documents where the gunman stated his intentions with the firearms. Or the description of how firearms work in the court documents detailing their explosive nature of normal function. But then I'd insist on asking why pursue this particular angle of attack on this topic?
I think the counter-argument here would be that nuclear is way over-regulated, and that's why it's so expensive.

You could multiply the deaths-per-TWh by 100 from the stats quoted in the GP's link and still compare favourably to non-renewable options, or 10x and compare with renewables. That safety record is very clearly due to the public being (irrationally?) terrified of nuclear anything, and constantly ratcheting up the regulatory requirements.

Most people don't think about the world in this way though. Saying "we should increase the death rate of this technology by 100x" would immediately destroy the career of any politician. "Joe Politician wants 100x as many children to die" would be the obvious attack ad in response.

This is a shame, because if you could reduce the cost of nuclear by 10x by increasing the death rate by 100x (still ending up with a moderate death rate), and in so doing produce a radically cheaper and zero-carbon power source, then you might save thousands or even millions of lives from climate-related deaths over the next century. (To be clear, the "might" is important; I'm not making claims about how much of a win there is by taking this path. In this paragraph I'm making the meta-level point that no matter how much is to be gained from this path, we would not go down it.)
Ben Shapiro makes awful statements like,"I am getting really sick of people who whine about 'civilian casualties'... when I see in the newspapers that civilians in Afghanistan or the West Bank were killed by American or Israeli troops, I don't really care". And "We're above 800 million Muslims who are radicalized – more than half the Muslims on earth." and then he throws out the adage "Facts don't care about your feelings" as if the statements he makes are objective truth, and any disagreement is by people who only care about feelings and not facts. Ben Shapiro's M.O. is making emotionally charged statements that disparage groups of people. When people react, he labels that reaction emotionally driven in contrast to his "logic" and "facts". This type of disingenuous dialogue happens all the time, always to the detriment of the actual problem or issue that would be beneficial for society to solve.

For a supposedly free market country it's odd that the US allows the supply of doctors to be restricted. Removing restrictions on the numbers of doctors who can qualify would automatically reduce the average income while increasing the supply of doctors.

> Of the ones that called themselves Protestant, you may be correct. Of the groups that the Church labelled heretical and got quite pointy with, they've been around a lot longer.

"Protestant" and "schismatic" don't mean the same thing. There are certainly Christian and pseudo-Christian groups that have existed out of union with Rome before the Protestant Reformation, but neither they nor the Catholic Church nor Protestants consider them "Protestant", and their disagreements with and relations with the Roman Catholic Church are distinct from those between Protestant Churches and Rome (and the latter group is itself quite diverse.)

> Nah, most of the Protestants started off having problems with the idolatry and the excess of mammon.

Not with your expansive definition of Protestantism they didn't. I mean, that clearly isn't an issue with the schism between the Roman Catholic Church and either the Oriental Orthodox or Eastern Orthodox Churches. And while I suppose that something that might loosely be described that way was involved with groups like the Bogomils and Cathars, in both cases more fundamental differences over Christology and the nature of God were more central. (For that matter, much of the Protestant-in-the-strict-sense split was more about secular politics than theology.)

41% of US emissions come from the power industry while in France, where nuclear power is widespread, it's only 13% from power. But very rarely do I hear calls from people who care about this stuff call for switching the nation's energy to nuclear.

> I know nuclear fans are a bit emotional and don't like dealing with hard facts and figures. The thought of a single person dying is too much for them to cope with and they can't make logical decisions as a result, but think about it for a while and you'll see that expensive but safe power isn't particularly helpful if there's much cheaper alternatives with only slightly higher death rates.

I don't have a dog in this fight, but comments like this hardly seem helpful and are very likely against HN rules.
In that case, use the Bitcoin to purchase Monero. If it needs to be on the Bitcoin blockchain then for each blog post use the Monero to buy a small amount of Bitcoin in a new wallet.
France brought it's share of nuclear power generation from 10% to 80% in 15 years. I'm not sure where this "nuclear is too slow" meme comes from.
I mean I agree I think with what I think you’re saying: as much as I love Postgres and SQL I’d much rather use Redis for this.
You're assuming that we only need to replace all our energy sources with renewables but otherwise we can keep running as usual.

As you correctly point out, that's not going to cut it. However, there's an easy solution that has been suggested by various people for at least the past 50 years: Lower consumption, lower energy requirements, halt the desire for infinite growth.
A french consultant/teacher who regularly make 1 hour or 2 hour presentation said that generally, renewables like solar and wind always benefit the coal/gaz industry because you can't have wind and sun on demand, and it's highly impractical to store electricity. so you always complement renewables with coal/gaz. So in the end, the coal/gaz industry benefits from renewables and they would obviously advocates for those renewables.

Not to mention you need a lot of metals (which emit co2), other resources (and energy) to build those renewables. Installing wind turbines is no easy task either.

It's crazy how the interests of coal/gaz would intersect the arguments of greenpeace, but it actually does.
Lots of German households and industries use natural gas for heating, hence we've got something like 400,000 km of pipeline as well as storage facilities sitting around. Instead of buying natural gas from Russia, we could fill them with synthetically produced methane and/or hydrogen, generated during off-peak hours.
I am not at all surprised if it was the VP of Engineering, the author of the issue, who would be the one to censor her resignation. It would not be the first time he would be spinning things around and creating a culture of fear. I am not at all surprised she would face retaliation.
I mean, to me "fair" would be everyone paying the same tax total, like $1k per person per year.

The next level of "fair" would be everyone paying the same tax rate, like 10% of their income.

Just because a tax can be shouldered by some group doesn't mean it ought to be levied. It's extremely unfair.

This might be off topic, but I highly encourage anyone to visit Montreal - ideally in summer, but even in winter. It's the most vibrant city in Canada, and the 2nd best city in North America (behind NYC).

It's much better than ebay because no one has to pay the 10% fee. The transaction is direct between the buyer and the seller.
Depends. If your model of the world is inaccurate, it's better to change your mind. If it's accurate, it's better not to.
That's retail in a nutshell though.
Lithium deposits are already facing depletion and the price has been steadily rising for a decade now with the new demand for li-ion batteries.

Building enough battery capacity for the grid would be far more than current world demand for Li-ion cells. I imagine prices would skyrocket, throwing off your calculations.

Yes. Though, most CoC violations are handled privately for those involved so we don't hear much about them.

This is basic tragedy of the commons (or "n-person prisoners' dilemma").

If I consume 50% less dairy products, for instance, it will cause a noticeable negative impact on my life.

The impact it will have on the environment will not be at all noticeable. (and it wouldn't be noticeable if it were multiplied by tens of thousands)

It isn't realistic to expect change by relying on consumers to negatively impact themselves for some unmeasurable positive.

On the other hand, it is not at all unrealistic to have those same consumers vote for regulation. The amount it increases the cost of dairy products would likely be outweighed by the positive impact on the environment. It works because the impact of action on themselves, both negative and positive, are divided up by all the people.
Some stories:

Layoff 1: The manager knew in advance, and couldn't tell us. But rumors were flying. In a team meeting on Friday, someone asked about the layoff rumors. She specifically said, "I can't say". Someone alertly asked "Can't say, or don't know?" She replied, "I can't say." So we all knew. Most of us got laid off on Monday morning.

Layoff 2: I was feeling uneasy. I walked into my boss's office, closed the door, and asked, "If you were in my shoes, would you have your resume on the street?" He said, "No, I think you'll be fine." The next day he got laid off. I didn't. He pretty much knew it was going to go down that way.

Layoff 3: My boss knew it was coming, because he walked past a meeting room that contained what he described as "an odd collection of managers" - and not him. From that, he surmised that there was a layoff coming, that they were figuring out who to lay off, and that, since he wasn't in the room, it was going to get him. He still didn't tell us beforehand.

So in all three cases, the managers knew or could make a pretty good guess.

And, one bonus story that didn't happen to me: I have heard of a legendary layoff at Evans & Sutherland. They laid of some managers, and some team members, but not every team member of the laid-off managers. And they botched it by first laying off the managers. Then, when it came to the workers, some of them didn't have managers to do the layoff. So IT logged everyone off of the network. If you could log back in, you still had a job. If they had killed your account, you were laid off.
I'm pretty sure in this instance its pop sci speak for "somewhat better than usual statistical error correction system"
Not in this case. It's FBA fees that are out of line with other 3PL providers - and Amazon's punishment for sellers that do not use FBA coupled together, that make for more expensive products as sellers have to increase price to stay profitable.

That unfairly harms the consumer, which is the basis for this Anti-Trust argument.

Effectively, Amazon has built the world's largest Marketplace by losing billions and billions for years and years, turned said Marketplace into an almost necessity to sell on, decided it will also sell on said Marketplace often at unfair prices below manufacturing cost of the goods, and now has made their own Logistics Network an effective requirement for selling on the very same Marketplace.

He was, imo clearly, a very capable and intelligent man.

But sans his education, exposure to an exclusive social tier, and thus his subsequent study at École Militaire, and finally being commissioned as an officer, he would not have had the opportunity to shine.

So the point is, if he were indeed a "nothing", regardless of his substantial qualities, you and I would not be discussing him couple hundred years later on hacker news.

I am very clearly focused on the notion of "nothing". Per my reading of history, almost all of the major spiritual and secular figures in history, regardless of period or locale, belonged to (or were closely attached) to the upper classes.
