Disagree completely:

Completely gender-oblivious algorithms correlated to actual profitability-differences between the two distinct borrowers could've caused the discrepancy, leaving nothing at all "ridiculously broken".

That super-wealthy married partners don't always get the exact same credit line, when applying separately, is not particularly an issue of justice that "needs to be fixed".

(If their finances are truly completely merged, the simple fix is: whoever gets the bigger credit line asks for a 2nd card on their account – though I see Apple Card may not yet offer that traditional option.)

The mechanical assumption that married partners who apply separately must get the same credit line as each other is more patronizing, simple-minded, and disrepectful of their separate life-paths than the alternative.

If wife JHH were not just rich but also famously so (within a certain industry), while conversely husband DHH was an "extremely private person" whose stated profession for the last few years (or maybe decade?) was "homemaker", I'd not be surprised for her to get (& deserve!) a credit line that's 20x his. And there’d be nothing “ridiculously broken” about that, either.

For the people defending Google, can someone explain a 'positive' take on making this arrangement completely in the dark? As far as I know other companies working on healthcare make big announcements on their partnerships (see https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2019/09/apple-announces-three...). Meanwhile, this is uncovered by an exclusive leak to WSJ. Why are they hiding it? Competitive advantage or they are aware of the dubiousness of them doing this sort of moves? Anyways, I hope we get a better message from Google than "Google spokeswoman said the project is fully compliant with federal health law and includes robust protections for patient data. An Ascension spokesman had no immediate comment".
Measuring Attack Surface Reduction in the Presence of Code (Re-)Randomization
That’s a bit tautological wouldn’t you say?
If you live in the world of marketing and PR, you'll find that articles like this are exactly the kind of propellant needed to shift public consciousness -- the narrative -- the conversation -- whatever you'd like to call it, in a direction that is less adversarial to the current climate around big pharma.

It's designed to produce a range of responses, certainly not just the 1 or 2 that you can imagine.

This article is highly effective at blending the feel-good mindful-zen new-age attitude about meditation with the confidence and necessity of western medicine.

But what makes this truly a native ad is that the article features a picture of the woman holding all the drugs she is taking. That is effectively -- intended or not -- an advert for those drugs exactly.

Like a pebble in a pond, articles like this ripple out and have an overarching effect in many different ways, transforming public consciousness, but ultimately, it comes down in favor of opioids, and it's likely readers of this article will come away feeling that way, too.
Thank you for linking this, I noticed this in every apartment I lived in Germany and was wondering what is it called. The door frame had rubber/plastic dampener that would literally create a vaccum like effect when closing (i.e the room door would slam if I closed the balcony door).

They really made a difference in terms of inside temperature.

Also the ability to tilt windows and even doors (vertically) was an amazing feature.
> Reinventing YAML badly

Let's go. Put your money where you mouth is. Here's my bet: http://longbets.org/793/. Let's see your argument about why YAML is better. YAML is full of unnecessary complexity. We have immense research to back that up. You want to argue do some actual work.

> with little or no apparent work done toward buy-in from the enormous ecosystem of medical provider

Let's see, the past 4 weeks we had meetings with 3 people from NIH, 2 from OHDSI, talked with 5 different healthtech startups, had meetings with researchers from 3 different top tier institutions about collaborating for R1 Feb cycle, and had meetings with researchers from 4 different countries, was on a panel on medical tourism speaking about the importance of portable medical records....you were saying? You might not want to make assumptions because you make yourself look like an ass.
I personally share this sentiment of yours; I particularly dislike how "cancel culture" is increasing divide and lack of dialog in our societies. In my opinion though this was still a dilemma, which was obviously poorly handled (Twitter is in no way the correct place for this sort of things).

My initial post simply attempted to answer your question by explaining the rationality I believe the Linux Foundation followed here.
YMMV but at least here in the southeast USA, the default GSTV signal can be turned off by pressing a combination on the 4 soft touch keys on the outside of the screen. If your buttons are like so,

1 | CONTENT | 5

3 | CONTENT | 7

4 | CONTENT | 8

try the sequence 5 6 5 . Here where I am at, that mutes the sound. Sometimes 7 8 7 also turns the screen off.

But! You need to put it back to screen on, sound on, or the staff will notice and you risk them changing the combination on you.

Not meaning to devalue your comment, but this is such a bs excuse from him.

Perhaps then Google should instead lobby hard for single-payer. Most countries with a single-payer systems have lower health care costs than the US. It's a proven solution that will lower costs, not a "hope".

Yep, I am confident the government is more trustworthy because you and your employer have a conflict of interest here. Their goal is to keep you working or reduce costs, your goal is to get healthy. Also, as a voter, you control the government. As an employee, you do not control your employer. Just look to literally every other country doing this.
Isn't "rule by algorithm" kind of what we have now anyway?
> You need to find out the wavelength of the laser. Once you know the wavelength you can design a reflective shell around the projectile. Certain ceramics with proper coating are really good in scattering energy and are extremely resistant to heat.

That sounds impractical. Either you're trying to coat shells on demand in wartime, or stocking extra quantities targeted to this or that wavelength. If you're already stocking extra ammunition, it sounds better to just overwhelm the defensive system with more shells, like another commenter suggested.

If you're going to design something new, maybe something more like a MIRV launcher that fires three shells in the time it currently takes to fire one.
Remember when Tim Armstrong, CEO of AOL, blamed an employee's new baby's health issues on benefit cuts [1]? He may not have had "full access", but he basically blamed an employee's family health issues, publicly, as the reason for employee benefit cuts.

I'm in the US and Toyota fixed my 2007 Toyota Camry's oil burning problem in 2015 for free!!! The dealership had quoted me something like $8000 to fix it (more than the car was worth) so I'd given up. Then one day I got a letter from Toyota corporate telling me my car was covered by this warranty extension. That made me a Toyota customer for life -- my next car was a Toyota Sienna, I won't buy another brand at this point.

My sister is still driving that 2007 Camry.

You should contact your local dealer and ask them about this. You are most likely covered. If they don't help, find a way to contact Toyota corporate.

This is a misleading statement. Corps that offer insurance as a benefit can get reports that tell them how the benefit is being used by employees in the aggregate. However, corps cannot see each employee interaction as this would be a huge HIPAA violation.

Just as a heads up for anyone considering using Oracle's built-in support for temporary tables, there are a few restrictions [1], no support for distributed transactions being the main one I ran into at a previous client.

Taking into consideration the fact that you'll want to avoid hard parses [2][3] whenever possible, this leaves you the option of mimicking a temporary table manually (which will probably include having to manually fix statistics on your fake temporary table), or maybe use some string manipulation in your query to split a delimited list (which is itself limited to 4000 characters [4]).

That being said, I've been told that distributed transactions should themselves be avoided, so maybe look into that before getting mad at Oracle for what seems to be an arbitrary limitation on temporary tables.

Shadow testing using traffic mirroring is something we did extensively at Twitter when we built Diffy but many problems remained unanswered about this approach to test automation and observability. e.g. How do we safely replay write traffic? How do we deal with downstream dependencies in general? Can we document our functional interfaces automatically? Can we observe the data patterns flowing through our code in production?

Isotope answers these problems and introduces the most advanced form of shadowing built so far.

Its not a direct comparison, but having owned cars from Japan, the US, and Germany, watching the videos of cars being made by the major manufacturers makes the difference somewhat obvious.

I've linked them below, but just looking at the factory processes, the workers, and the methods used it seems the German process is just designed to build cars with tighter tolerances. The cars don't move down assembly lines with humans touching them (in the 911 factory). When a human is working on the car, the car isn't moving. Compared to the Corvette (much cheaper, but still "high end") you can see how quantity is prioritized, and how the car never really stops for any extended period of time, before moving down the line.

Again, this is a totally subjective opinion, but comparing my current car (VW) to a similarly priced Ford I test drove the other day (GT350) the difference in build quality is night and day.

Only if it's important to you and your users that they aren't told that no one has vetted the app except you and them.

You don't have to pay the $100/year to run the apps distributed on your website but you do if you don't want them to get a message that says it's from an unverified developer. That seems to me like the system is working exactly as intended.
That’s true I’ve assumed they have the same volatility. But since RenTec probably is market neutral for equities so I would imagine their Sharpe ratio is much higher than the S&P 500. And their Sortino ratio is most likely insanely high.

Take this with a grain of salt. A vehicle's reliability has just as much to do with who you sell it to (at scale) as what the vehicle is. Reliability ratings are greatly biased toward vehicles that are expensive and don't have tons of manufacturer financing incentives to put them in the hands of everyone with a pulse.
Horses didn't cause raiding. Horses were domesticated on the Eurasian Steppe around 3000 BC, but people in conflict, including hit-and-run raids, are known from around the world and long before then, including in the Americas where no riding animals were known until the Columbian exchange.

Horses didn't cause cavalry, horses were domesticated and bred with their modern properties because people wanted cavalry. The tool reflects the creator.

If you think it's remotely monolithic, it absolutely isn't. But there's definitely a pattern of lower quality building in very high-growth, high cost of living areas where the property's value isn't related much to the building, but mostly reflective of the land and it's location.
Write a docstring for a function before you write the body of that function. Keep it short. Don't overthink it. At this point, it doesn't even have to be syntactically correct.

If, in a brief sentence, written in plain English (or any other language of your choice), you can't explain the idea, you need to "go back to the drawing board." Resist the urge writing it in a programming language before you can explain it in English.

When you're done writing the function, go back to the docstring, revise it; in some cases, you can even remove it.

The purpose of a docstring is to help humans to quickly scan the code and discern the meaning, the idea of the function without having to read its source. Like a trailer for a movie - it should give you the general idea, but not give away the implementation details.

Think about docstrings as "type annotations" for humans. We use types and type hints "to help the compiler understand our code better" because computers do not understand plain English, but very often, we have no empathy for fellow programmers.

Its funny reading the comments to your comment.

For the most part people can't seem to distinguish claims data vs healthcare records...its pretty scary as these are the most likely people to receive funding to "disrupt" the health care industry.

Claims data is not equal to medical records, but to your point it is extremely valuable data and can easily act as a proxy for medical care. Even more so when tied together with Rx claims data. Even providers (Doctors/hospitals) themselves don't have access to insurance claims data for patients...which unironically results in perhaps a million hospitalizations and billions of dollars in healthcare costs per year because of the lack of data sharing with providers.
I think a lot of this is that people don't know what to look for, so they buy based on appearance rather than quality.
This is best observed and proven in medicine. There are men and women as gynecologists who fundamentally understand women's health.

So, I don't see why this is a special case in Sports except for just the lack of competence and perhaps they were deluded, malicious or just fogged by their egos. This can happen to a womens team of coaches as well.

I can totally see a group of competent, well educated and professional men teaching a young girl how to be the best at any sport.
Rands in Repose (Michael Lopp) talks about this in his book "Managing Humans" as volatiles and stables, the former being largely analogous to rockstars. He (I believe accurately) describes how volatiles ignite the fire that leads to big change, then become stable around the new solution (or leave) and get disrupted by new volatiles. It's very similar to Clayton Christensen's work on disruptors.

If you're a manager, the math of having true rockstars on your team rarely works. They take more effort to manage yet produce fractional more output (they might be 10x better than a terrible developer but they're not multiples of solid devs). So I'm way further ahead if I can focus my efforts on improving broad-based productivity 5-10% than if I cater to my rare unicorns that are 30-50% better than my average team. Something I think ICs often overlook is a focus on leverage and scale to drive big improvements.
