Here's a source on the FX team working on more Hulu Originals:

https://variety.com/2019/biz/news/fx-hulu-disney-mrs-america...

It also mentions that Disney has asked Fox Searchlight to consider more of its project slate for Hulu Original instead of theaters, which aligns with how much Netflix and Amazon have been investing in independent films for (nearly) straight to streaming distribution.
My practice is to usually limit "dupe" to the identical link or story submitted multiple times. Major mainstream breaking news possibly excepted.

For different takes on the same story, "Previously" with a link to earlier discussion, may be better.

For evergreen topics (e.g., Bertrand Russell's "In Defence of Idleness", submitted many times through the years, and again a day or so back), "earlier submissions" noting the years, of 2-3 top instances, can point to earlier interesting discussion.
I don't like Venmo at all. It's hard to get money out and I'm always wary of bank account details stored by a startup. It's good to see this coming from FB and for this specific instance, a bad startup hopefully getting killed. For HN crowd which often defaults to hating FB, I'd say its a tool and like hammer it can be used for good and bad. The good things it has done is literally start and support revolutions, connect long lost friends, keep up with remote relatives and so on. I think their newsfeed algo sucks as they give far more weight to groups and funny video posts then actual friends news but hope that improves.
I'm having trouble understanding how you feel this is immoral. You have a private healthcare system, and as such your data is already in the hands of numerous private companies. From the hospital itself, to various data processing partners that implement patient record systems, billing systems, image processing for various tests, lab companies and so on.

But suddenly this company, Google, makes it immoral? It seems to me that if you care this much about private companies having your data, you should switch to a publicly owned healthcare system.
Maybe this is their effort to actually tell people about the service so they actually use it.

Your comment jogged a vague memory I had about this feature of FB Messenger, but it's not something your average person knows about. Also, I removed FB Messenger from my phone several years ago for being an unrepentant battery drainer.
I support universal healthcare, but fundamentally speaking there is no reason there couldn't be a free market healthcare solution that works for a large percentage of people (IE those that can afford a reasonable healthcare insurance premium). The remaining could be covered by a government welfare program.

However, rewrite laws as you want, a good free market solution would depend on the following:

- Healthcare providers are incentivized to quickly and efficiently care for patients as necessary.

- Every single person should be incentivized to use healthcare services regularly and as needed, without concerns such as cost.

- Insurance providers should be incentivized to make things as easy, painless, and low cost as possible for both healthcare providers and individuals. The main purpose of the insurance provider is to pool risk and prevent fraud, not to squeeze dollars out of sick folk.

- Regulatory bodies like congress should be concerned with regulations that can (a) ensure the above incentives exist, and (b) lower the fundamental costs associated with healthcare (e.g. prevent drug companies from price gouging and such)

Current every single incentive I've listed above is misaligned in the market today. Doctors' time is wasted with billing and insurance and risk-prevention to avoid getting sued, many many people avoid using healthcare services out of fear of unknown costs and bankruptcy (which turns untreated small issues into big ones), insurance companies optimize around fleecing customers and making billing hell for doctors, and regulatory bodies are commonly more concerned with the politics & optics of Obamacare this, affordable healthcare that.

On top of that, our current free market solution somehow revolves around the employer giving some kind of subsidy and bargaining for better benefits, which makes no sense whatsoever because everybody needs healthcare, not just employees of successful corporations.

Anyways, this rambled on a bit, but my point is that any solution that doesn't have a way to align these incentives will fail to make a big dent on healthcare costs in this country. Period. This includes M4A or other universal healthcare plans.
Seems like it could be the expansion of the service from Messenger to Instagram and WhatsApp too that is the "launch".

Just tried this.

I get the answer plus a ton of highly relevant links relating to population, StanCan sources, etc.

I think this is exactly what most users want: Show me the answer quickly without making wade through links - but provide me the links if I want to do more research on my own.
This is a weird article. The author has plenty of background and standing to comment on the topic.

But he's leaving out that many of the problems the government seeks to address are bigger than what a "startup" (his word) would ever address. A better comparison might be between governments and very large-scale enterprises -- not startups. A lot of his words have to do with software, when typically the problems governments address have to do with (in increasing order of difficulty) hardware, big infrastructure, or society, or other societies. The startup/government comparison is not parallel for other reasons too -- and it's exhausting to enumerate!

Can you elaborate on this? Do you mean enriching events and/or windowing/aggregating/summarizing?

> How exactly? Since it would do the same thing as ER, it would cost as much to operate as ER.

No. The ER and its expensive specialists (e.g. trauma/accident specialists) can be reserved doing their actual specialized jobs (taking care of patients injured in car crashes, for example) without being clogged by some dude with a toothache. The ER only handles the real hardcore cases that can escalate to death in a matter of seconds, and the urgent-care facility only handles the "everyday" harmless stuff, which needs less and especially less-certified/experienced and thus cheaper staff.

Audio is harder to solve for and may be even more invasive to personal privacy.
This article misses one other potential savings — allowing patients to cross state lines to buy plans in cheaper states.

Is there anything preventing people from buying plans across state lines other than the insurance companies themselves?
From experience I take it? Was Ceph running on any of those?
Ok. I get that it is best practice to give devices the least amount of access they need. But why does being able to block traffic make it okay that Ubiquity enables telemetry like this, without informed consent?
Yes. We use aws sam cli [1] to facilitate testing and deployment to AWS's api-gateway + lambdas. It works and even thought the configuration is automatically generated using model metadata. I'm still not too thrilled about this choice. TBD on if this was a good or bad choice.

Can't think of anyone that would object to the idea, indeed I think it should be the default.

I'm so sick of reading daily the scummy tactics these tech giants are using to hoover up private/personal data, and then reading their little acolytes on HN defending them ("Oh, it's probably just an A/B test, nothing to worry about!" or "It's too hard to monitor what our company is doing, even when presented to hard facts on the daily, what's a dev to do!").
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

Sounds like the Court got it right.
the correct response would be to one 1. fight the gang problems 2. stop tying school funding to localities which perpetuates poor districts being poor and underfunded.

Clearly the solution can't be privatized 'school choice' because the people who need it the most will probably not be able to afford it, and it segregates society further, giving everyone even less stake in repairing their communities. It's a self-defeating cycle.
Sure, but what if the increased metabolism has the same calorie intake as prior to the change? In that case "just eat less" is not what leads to weight loss, its "eat the right things". Ditto for the other changes that make one less hungry.
I got burned pretty badly by those as I bought 12. I now avoid seagate if possible because I'm pretty sure they knew their disks were faulty. Even if they didn't know they didn't handle the whole fiasco in a good way.

The "federalization" of internet services...

Google Scholar is still quite useful for general information, but it's also generally pretty dense and hard to parse so it will take a bit of work. The days of just having a question and being able to find an easy layman-level answer about it are gone (outside of Wikipedia).

There was an economics paper published recently making an argument that we have more to fear from shitty AI/robots than good ones and I think it's spot on. (In other words, they're good enough to justify firing the person who used to do the job, but they're objectively worse at the job. What ends up happening is aggregate wealth goes down because not only are the jobs gone, but the job itself is being done less efficiently than before.)

The point where Google (and Yelp and a bunch of other services) started to turn was when they stopped just being a thing you go to when you need them to being things that get in your face to anticipate your needs. They're bad at anticipating our needs in any way that's actually useful for us a lot of the time, so it ends up putting a lot of cognitive load on us to make sure the apps/services are working as intended. Instead of just using technology as a tool as we need it, we end up needing to babysit technology that's being fussy, opaque, and unpredictable. And babysitting is the best case scenario, in other cases it's being outright hostile.

And it's that kind of short-term thinking that creates a lot of the world's problems in the first place.
Correct! Any heat source of sufficient temperature will work, but propane is convenient. I recently took a ferry in Idaho; before loading, people in RVs were told to turn off their refrigerator to reduce fire risk. Searching for "absorption refrigerator diagram" (or checking out the wikipedia page) should provide useful information.
I've still got my 1tb seagate up and running from around six years ago? No problems with that but all the 3tb I've encountered all seemed to have failed quite quickly. Maybe it's the specific model that I got but the higher capacities, in my case, tend to be more faulty.

Slight correction: "suspicionless searches OF ELECTRONIC DEVICES." Suspicionless searches of all air travelers is still very legal.
Most people do not want a 30% upcharge for the same product in more restrictive packaging. Buy an ounce at a perfectly legal club and you will be handed 8 sealed ornate cardboard boxes housing opaque plastic bags in child proof packaging, each containing 3.5g of product packaged anytime in the last two years, for around $30-50 each 3.5g with state sales tax, local mj tax, and state excise tax all adding up to another 30% to your final price. And they will charge an ATM fee if you use debit instead of cash as a final fuck you.

Buy an ounce at the illegal dispensary across the street from the legal club, and it will come in one bag, you get to inspect the product before you buy to see how fresh it is and its quality, and it will be cheaper and sold tax free.
+1 for Metabase

For our team, using an ELT architecture (as opposed to ETL) [1] for managing our data warehouse has greatly reduced the complexity of our data processes. Instead of creating ETLs for every table we want to load into the data warehouse, we create the minimum necessary setup to copy the table into our data warehouse. Then, we write transforms, which are simply SQL statements, to generate wide-column tables that our non-technical users can use to explore data without worrying about joins or having to learn esoteric naming conventions.

Custom EL Scripts -> Redshift -> Transform Statements -> Redshift -> Metabase supports the data needs of all our departments with no dedicated data team members.

Did you read the linked document? It is an internal document from HRC's campaign.

If you're analyzing why Trump won, knowing that her campaign intentionally elevated his campaign is certainly relevant.

I hope our country can take off the hyperpartisan tribalist blinders and address the reality of why Trump won so we don't end up with another 4 years of him.
The point is I personally find it more ergonomic. Just like how I'll take a slightly longer route to avoid turning directly across traffic or avoid a particularly dangerous intersection.

Also, context is really important. Not that people on the internet ever stop to think about what the context is that the person is writing the code in. I don't write bash scripts that run mission critical workloads. I just ad-hoc type stuff into my shell to produce output I need for stuff at the time.
My seagate that failed on me was a 3tb too! Do you remember what year you got it? Thinking that it may be that model.
The code ignores leading zero bits in each byte, which is why it gets the surprising result of more ones than zeros.

Bingo. There are still some websites which have a tenacious grip on the 90's style and are chock full of information. However, you aren't going to find them with G and the like.

I've been meaning to set up YaCy for a while and see if the P-t-P search structure works better for finding non-scroller web pages. I fear that I'll find those results also tainted by shills.

[edit: Forgot to mention Gigablast, which works fairly well. Definitely not for the faint of heart]
This is one of those comments that is just so...American. I’m also an American, living in the UK, and the friction inherent in the USA banking system contributes to reverse culture shock. In pretty much any EU country I’ve been to you can pay anyone in seconds from any bank account, any amount, for free, just by knowing their account number and sort code. In the USA instead, banks spend millions trying to handle small pieces of paper (checks) with zero interest in modernising. Oh well.

On Kialo the sources in the arguments are normally discussed in pros and cons underneath the argument they are in, or in the comments of a claim, sort of a meta discussion where folks discuss how to best formulate a claim. Some of their argument trees nest 10 levels deep.

In python, the string returned by

Ours was built in 2018, uses an absorption fridge. They're lighter (assuming that you're going to carry propane anyway), and they don't need electricity (though they can run on it). Though you can get compressor models that run on 12VDC, I'm guessing most rigs with compressors don't park far from an outlet. But I'm not the one to ask on that. I do know that when we're running off solar and batteries, it's nice to eliminate one more thing draining the batteries.
Technographics as the game changer in the SaaS world
I thought the quote from the Yelp CEO was interesting. I mean, if Yelp was actually more skilled at helping the customer find the relevant data than Google, then that would be a compelling reason to use Yelp. But is his claim accurate? Is Google search optimizing for attention?

It's hard to see how that could be, honestly. Nobody browses search result pages for fun. Whether they're succeeding or not, it's hard to picture Google optimizing result pages for anything other than "get the user on to their most relevant (and/or lucrative) destination as absolutely quickly as we can manage."

If I were Yelp, I would not try Stratechery's arguments here. What they should be saying is, "Google's search results for restaurants are crap. If you use us, your valuable time and money will be better spent than if you trust Google." Honestly, this is what I always worry about first when I look at online reviews. Is it honest and is it an accurate predictor of how I will feel if I choose this product? I have to confess, Yelp has not done a much better job engendering that trust in me than Google has. Not that I trust either very much, especially about restaurants. But if Yelp were able to crack that nut, I would be hugely grateful, and a loyal fan for life.
Babylon Bee is also well known to be satire. I would also say it doesn't have an "extreme" bias. It's about as far right of center as the Onion is far left, which is to say some, but not particularly extreme.

> Clearly many right and alt right subreddits are taking stories from there seriously, including r/conservative.

The entire subreddit r/atetheonion is dedicated to people believing Onion articles. Bablylon Bee is not unique in this regard.

I think this is the bias people are generally referring to here. The Babylon Bee isn't extreme in its partisan leaning, and is a popular satirical site. But because that lean is right, rather than left, it gets painted as more extreme, or people feel that there is some kind of more pressing need to label it as satire.

It indicates that the "fact checkers" may be in a bubble of their own and are failing to account for their biases appropriately.

Good. Also given there is no one running Homeland Security I wonder if it's even likely that this will be pushed to the SC.

The tax is bad because the tax is eggregious. What else is taxed 30% in CA. Cigarettes? Gas? Things people can't avoid paying for if they tried, because if they could avoid paying cig or gas tax they would (and do).

But when you open a legal market with 30% tax in competition with an existing, much more expansive market with an automatic 30% discount, of course it is going to fail.
For instance, a low fat diet has been shown to not cause weight loss.

Literally every diet has been shown to cause weight loss if paired with a caloric deficit...

Low carb. Low fat. Low protein. No fruits. Only fruits. Etc.

If calorie in/calorie out worked then obesity wouldn't be a problem in the USA because 99% of obese people have been treated that way.

The types of fat and carbs in your diet matter. You can eat healthy carbs all day (i.e., vegetables) and not gain weight over a year, or eat unhealthy fats (i.e., trans fats) and gain 10 pounds in a week.

JEP 369: Migrate to GitHub
I know I'm very much in the minority here, but just like we should have more open borders and more open software, we should encourage more openness around medical data.

Google and other large companies have made some significant AI advances in the last decade & I think it's in all of our interests to see if these advances can lead to improvements in health care.

Yes, it's scary how much data these companies have collected about us, but there are other things in the world which are even more scary, like heart attacks and cancer. I think we need to stop having an automatic knee-jerk reaction every time a company gets access to our data, especially if proper legal protocols with privacy protections are being followed, as it appears to be in this case.

Of course, I would love to live in a world with 100% perfect personal privacy AND perfect treatments for all diseases, but we don't live in that world: In our world, as we move forward, there are going to be difficult tradeoffs between health innovation and patient data access: We should try to navigate these tradeoffs in a level-headed way, without just insisting on greater walls around all data in every instance.
