I asked you if office policies were political. You said no (or that they could be discussed anyway). I asked about some specific office policies, you claimed they were all political and couldn't be discussed. They're clearly office policies, because different offices have different policies on them.

Your continued inability to provide a consistent definition of politics and banned discussion only reinforces my initial claim: you're using politics as a catch-all to justify banning discussion you have personal ideological objections to, even when those topics are related to day to day working conditions. I'm not picking a definition of political, I'm saying you've been inconsistent with yours.

Google, at any given time, is sued for discrimination against men and women and against conservatives and liberals. What's important is the merit, which most don't have. On the other hand, banning people from discussing it requesting changes to employee bathroom policy probably falls under broad protections of PCA, and would be illegal.

No door in the labyrinthine castle of science opens directly onto the Absolute. But if one understands the maze well enough, it is possible to jump out of the system and experience the Absolute for oneself."

This essay says little, although it is indicative of the uncertainty in the 90s as people tried to figure out exactly what was going on. 'Computer Culture' doesn't exactly have a lineage. By nature of the challenges that are faced in computing there is a high concentration of systems-thinkers who enjoy thinking about entire systems in their totality. This group of people are going to at least see the draw of libertarianism - as a philosophy it advocates a robust and highly fault tolerant system. Athoritarianism is a bad system because at some point a critical part becomes corrupt and then it delivers worse outcomes for pretty much everyone.

One area the essay tries to pick up on this but doesn't quite manage is the detour past IP law. There are people in the computer world who recognise that IP law has created a system that is clearly terrible. Trademarks are fine, copyright and patents have substantially hindered the development of good software. It isn't encouraging new ideas, it is delaying fast-follow-up of ideas that were always going to be discovered very quickly when someone turned their mind to a problem. Systems thinkers would naturally unite against a system so bad at delivering its stated outcome. The Open Source movement is indicative of what happens when people with system thinker ideals are left in charge (ie, people like Stallman and Torvalds).

People who have dedicated their lives to understanding data organisation aren't necessarily the ones who should be running the world; but the libertarian undertones aren't primarily about escaping from the world, they are a natural discovery on the path of someone looking at politics from a whole-system perspective and trying to optimise.

Using terms like 'sacrifice' and 'collective' seems hyperbolic as well. Sacrifice implies willingly offering oneself for the good of others. A collective implies others chipping in to mitigate a member's failure.

> Implementing the changes is likely to cost hospitals less than 1% of their revenue, an official on the call said. Hospitals could be fined $300 a day by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services if they don’t comply with the new disclosure rule, officials said. The administration is also proposing extending the disclosure rules to health insurers.

Interesting. I wonder what that (1% revenue) is in terms of percentage of profit. I would've gone after the insurance industry long before I touched the hospital's bottom line - my grandmother comes to the US, whenever she has an operation, for a reason. That reason is that the money is here, the technology is here, and the best doctors from around the world often end up immigrating here.

But at the same time, plenty of Americans can't afford a basic checkup.

Ideally, we preserve the incentive for the medical and technology communities to come here (money) while reducing the immediate monetary burden on everyday consumers that need to access that healthcare.

The obvious middle-men are the insurance companies. Then again, this isn't a single-variable equation.

They incorrectly counteracted the malfunctioning system 25 times. If they had followed the correct procedure for handling runaway stab trim, they would have only needed to respond once. It's a three-step procedure that takes just a few seconds - press the override button on the yoke, turn off the master switches for the stab trim automation, set the stab trim manually.

The Lion Air flight crew caused that crash because they lacked fundamental piloting skills. Like many low-cost carriers in middle-income countries, Lion Air have systematic problems with poor pilot training and supervision. The poor design of the MCAS system contributed to the crash, but any number of other system failures could have caused a similar accident if handled equally poorly.

demand for transportation is much higher than the current use of transportation.

this is an important observation.
and the demand will only increase.

because as it is easier to get around we are more likely to meet people at further distances, leading to families that are connected across these distances and thus increasing the demand for travel even more.

Exactly this. I pay for NYT and Chicago Trib online subscriptions but if an interesting article was in say, The Des Moine Register or the WSJ, I'm not going to signup for a month and then cancel my subscription simply to read it. Apple News is a fairly engaging aggregator but it appears to be heavily magazine based.

Ask HN: Does brushing your teeth affect energy/depression?
I have started brushing my teeth more often with soft brush, instead of brushing fast and hard which would hurt gums if i did it 1+ times i increased iteration but reduced the force. I started because I went to dentist and after cleaning I felt so fresh and positive. Then I remember reading "Alzheimer's disease could be caused by a gum infection", also inflammation and immune response. So I think there is a connection...

-----------------

never mind I actually found a study that confirms it. My guess it brushing massages the gums AND remove the acid provoking body's damage control responses.

AVImark is not SQL. AVImark runs at workstation as a UNC path shortcut and no application is installed on the workstations. Entire program resides on the Server and is much like it's DOS predesessor from the 1980's. Everything it needs to run is installed in it's AVIark folder on the Server. Very few of the 8,000 plus hospitals run it in an RDP mode. Usually those that do have multiple locations with satellite hospitals connected to the main server via Internet back to the central or main hospital. Problem is NVA does not know what they are doing for security and has paid no attention to this problem, and has no well defined distaster recovery plan. They do not allow for outside expert AVImark or IT consultants to help their hospitals.

The Chief Justice died last night of a heart attack. 1983 would be against Chief Justice and State Court Administrator for setting them up.
The point is to avoid magnifying the one-time tragedy onto a calendar day that happens every year. Your comment suffers from this, implying that it's the public's job to be sensitive to when law enforcement comes up with a reason to have a paranoia party. I would imagine it's possible to come up with a similar justification for "high alert" for at least a quarter of the year - and none of it should be accepted by Free society.
I read few comments against OneNote, may I know what's the problem with that? (Other than no Markdown—but even Evernote doesn't support it)

No, Chief Justice and State Court Administrator dupe them into conducting an illegal pen test. Prosecutor is an ass by not dropping charges on pen testers if they testify against state court admin. Chief Justice died last night of a heart attack so not an issue.
That's bullshit. What Microsoft did is bundle Office with all computers, at no cost. They used their monopoly position in operating systems to crush wordprocessing and spreadsheet companies by bundling a free alternative that would read the competitor's file formats. Competitors, with no other source of revenue, died. Once they were dead, Office was no longer free.

This is a classic example of how a company with a monopoly position in one product uses that power to create a monopoly position in other products.
Oh my, I didn't even thought of it, but you are right.

Few months ago I started working on a Go codebase. Yes, while the language is simple, you can absolutely make code confusing.

I am not just playing emo and choosing not to go on because life is a drag. I have lost everything and everyone and live in severe pain and just existing takes all my energy. I have tried over and over again to work enough to have some sort of life but my body fails and that takes the mind with it. I was denied social assistance. Abandoned by family. Nothing has gone right since this was done to me. While I would love to help others again as I once did...I cannot manage myself and there is not sufficient help here. I want out of this country back to the only place I have ever really enjoyed living in Europe but I have not been able to realize that either. The last thing I have the energy for is something like law school. I'd need a lot more of Maslow's lower rungs secured before I could attempt something like that and I'd never be able to do it on a normal schedule. I am old and broken and on a thread. I have reached my mental coping limit after many years of pain and decline and abandonment.I need consistent help and stability in a healthy environment to survive. That has been denied and I have had nothing but the opposite. So there will be no survival.

It is very much so, especially in Western countries, where members of the black diaspora tend to be found and are able to express LGBT identity without fear of facing full and immediate ostracization (though violence is still a risk). If you consider, for example, suicide risk a crude measure for (lack of) life satisfaction, being LGBT reverses the black-white disparity (wherein white people are more likely to commit suicide, considering the general population).
try saying "hey cortana" to your siri or google devices.
I would have been fine using Cortana in Windows 10, but unfortunately, it slowed down the Windows key search UI just enough to be frustrating and worth the time to disable in settings. I don’t at all mind its existence but it really needs to add functionality without introducing new drawbacks, especially for frequently used areas of the OS.

(MacOS was little better as it didn’t even try to integrate Siri with Spotlight and kept it in its own, infrequently-used app.)
Defense against asteroids is a bad justification for space exploitation. The first thing that would have to be done is telescopic search, and with very high probability nothing really dangerous would be found, and so no further space activity could be justified on the basis of defending against that threat.
