The infected hangnail case is because it’s illegal for the corner store to sell you $4 in antibiotics without a $200 doctor’s note, fwiw.

This is an issue with the government, not the economy or medical system. They literally make cheap treatment illegal.

Except that non/under-functioning thyroid can usually easily and cheaply be replaced with levothyroxin. Anyone who feels that they’ve slowly been getting more tired and just can’t stop gaining weight should ask their doctor to get their T3 and T4 levels checked.

Finding out mine was underfunctioning and getting the levothyroxin dosage right made a ton of difference in my energy levels and stopped (but didn’t reverse) my weight gain.
We imported Chinese products.

We imported Chinese social problems.

which means we imported severe rural poverty of subsistence living! We decided it was smart to compete with that so that our execs could have a few more dollars of bonuses. We even imported authoritarian behavior from the Chinese government!

It's the one-party no-listening rule by the Trumpanzise government - a highly authoritarian regime ...
... and if the same conditions which create work for said sixty-year-old person to return to are the same conditions that led to them being unable to retire at sixty (perhaps because they never had the opportunity to do anything other than low laying work with no opportunity for growth and existed at the poverty line)?
True, but that's mitigated by other factors, the simplest of which is that above a certain height it will become a royal pain to get in and out of the vehicle (and not just yourself: that includes helping kids in the backseat, and baggage).

Hate to break it to you but the vast majority of people living in poverty in the united states are and have been white. The majority of government assistance goes to poor whites. Poverty doesn't discriminate. The bad jobs were not pushed off on those we did not notice. The wealth of minorities was rising until we implemented the civil rights act of 1964 which has screwed every minority applicant at a small business. It is riskier to hire and fire than it is to not hire.

The civil rights act prevents minority only businesses ta boot!

The worst thing to happen to minorites in the US was the civil Rights Act of 1964.

> people will just run the Linux version

Don't worry, there are more than enough stumbling blocks in Linux emulation to ensure it would never be as convenient as native applications. For example, if you pass LD_LIBRARY_PATH with FreeBSD libraries to the Linux program it will predictably blow up in your face. Now, imagine running a shell script which calls FreeBSD and Linux executables.

Linuxulator is really a method of last resort and it always requires special care for each individual application.
What are the goals here? Is it to maximize the production of the stuff of our lives so that it is available at the highest quality and lowest price possible, requiring the least amount of human toil? (It helps to think about where shoes, houses, food, entertainment, clothing, medicine and all the rest comes from.)

Or is the goal to inhibit change, so that people don't have to apply their minds to figure out how and where they fit into a rapidly changing (improving?) world?

Let's leave aside issues of class and envy, because I think that's a related, but secondary issue that is (at least in part) resolved by the answer to the above.
I disagree strongly. Raw code, that anyone who knows the language can read... is readable!

The OP’s code, which added an invisible abstraction, is “clean” I guess. It’s less repetitive anyway. But it’s not readable. You need to go read the other file to be able to read this one.

It’s like a clean kitchen with everything behind cabinet doors. Yes, there’s less to look at. But you can tell what’s happening without opening all the doors.
Emergency care means they stabilize you so you won’t die right away and then kick you out. Many of the things that you will die from will never even qualify for it, e.g. treatment for cancer. You need money, insurance, or real charity to get care for that.

Regardless of where you stand on these issues, the fact that this in particular found its way into the article really makes this guy seem like a jerk or a bully.

That’s not a pitchfork, it just seems like he’s trying to ridicule people for no real reason, even if he does stick to only personal pronouns found in a dictionary.

IMO "lookups based on any address in the interval" requires "traversal in sorted order", although I could have probably been more precise in my terms.

I would be curious if anyone has ever profiled the impact of changing mm_rb to a B-tree. It might be very difficult if existing code that uses mm_rb depends on pointer stability, though.

As far as I can tell, this uses the same search engine as Microsoft's Bing. In the small print, they acknowledge that their search engine "partner" is Microsoft, and that their partner will keep your IP address for 96 hours.

The concept is good, but I wish I knew more about the company behind this. Otherwise, all I can do is take their promises on faith.
I think you are unbelievably naieve to think refund costs are all that are at stake here.

First they sell security systems to people for a big fat chunk of change.

Then they turn those security systems off, and then tell those same people to buy from their affiliates who are going to give them a great deal (and them a great commission).

Anyone with 2 brain cells to rub together knows this is illegal bait and switch and all sorts of legal trouble for spectrum; especially when you are selling things like fire alarms and burglar alarms, there's a whole bunch of regulations.

But, those same people seem to be dumb enough to not view the words "binding arbitration" as "my management wants to act like criminals and get away with it".

Then they cry about broken promises and being burned.

The way you fix the crying is with handcuffs. For executives. Drag em' infront of a jury and let them sort it out.

That way the bad people get label "Felon" and are not around in managemnt positions to do this BS anymore. Very simple.
It basically is. Lightning is not caused by humans in the majority of cases.

Why doesn't someone take a receiver to these drone-sighting sites and end the mystery by looking at what they're doing?
I personally find the Linux support "good enough", and it's one reason I choose FreeBSD over OpenBSD on a few machines. OBSD is great, they got rid of Linux emulation for reasons I understand entirely, but it is on the other hand very handy to run the occasional Linux binary, mostly for a handful of closed source stuff that is never going to port to *BSD.
Meant that it enables concurrency and parallelism without having to worry so much about the mechanics of it, which helps take advantage of multiple cores as described in the article. Immutable data structures and pure functions avoid data corruption when two or more threads are working on the same data. OOP requires a lot of code to get the same result, true?

I'm new to FP myself and it seems like if done wisely it simplifies multi thread, parallel processing quite a bit.
Say I did a bunch of work for your company. And you stiff me for $10,000. I can't just go immediately seize your back account. I first have to establish in the court of law that you owe me money.

So I'd sue you and the judge would award me $10,000. But he would award me the $10,000 as court ordered judgement which is the legal instrument that proves you owe me money.

So that line doesn't mean quite what you think it means.
Can’t recall off the tip of my head but brands usually advertise on the packaging if the fish is line-and-pole caught.
An interesting aspect of this is that the definition of both "robot" and "automated" is terrifically fluid.

There are all sorts of productivity advancing tools that tread the line.

If I told you I'd built a machine that halved the number of people/time that it took to unload a truck full of boxes you might think that it pretty clearly would fall under this but take a look at the device:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzxiXYJqLn4

I'm still pitching Buckbee's law: "A robot's utility is inversely proportional to how much it looks like a robot." and in practice, I think you'd find that almost every real gain in productivity doesn't actually look like a "robot".
Surely doom us to a life where the robots do the work and we lead interesting lives of leisure

i have a decent grasp of stats (having read all of casella berger) and i don't understand how you can truly quantify uncertainty since confidence intervals or pvalues assume a population distribution. i feel like it's a shell game. given a uniform prior what can you tell me about the uncertainty? and if you've chosen some other prior how can you qualify that decision? this is not even considering that if you take it all the way down to first principles, there isn't even such a thing as a continuous prior or one with uncountable support.
I argue that it does, as someone doing a search for competitors or alternatives might be caught unaware if this is a blind spot for them. For example, you have Drivy (bought by GetAround... a while back?) and yet you're missing a large portion of the CarShare landscape. Do you count Zipcar? (Avis-Budget group, but the largest player and running EVs in London). Maven? (GM) DriveNow/car2go? (BMW, and EV-centric in Europe) And that doesn't even get into smaller players like Innova (EV-focused) or BlueLA (LA-only but EV)/BlueIndy/etc - or Autolib/Cite Lib/Carma...

* Full disclosure: I'm employed by Zipcar. But I'm also an alternative transit geek in general.
The only way I can make sense of this is that the robots provide a surrogate buffer for the wealthy to feel "less attacked". Sadly wealthy people are not interested in the greatness of their planet or society anymore. Somehow they think their private enterprises that serve ads are making society great or leaving a legacy.

Not only that, but someone living past 30 is probably going to need a bunch more health treatments in life. Sure you can milk the dying cancer patient one time a lot, but that’s that then. A cancer survivor is coming back to pay more money to live even longer later.
Grammar ability is a fine measure of intelligence.

Adherence to arbitrary conventions in situations where they’re unnecessary is, on the other hand, a poor measure of grammar ability.

Do you really believe that most people who write “u” in an SMS are unaware that it’s written “you” according to formal conventions?
Nope! But I need reliable version control, so I will continue using darcs until I hear Pijul is more reliable.
> If working a job will prevent financial ruin, then it's a good job. No job has to be permanent.

That seems to be the definition of an acceptable job.

To me a good job is one which you wouldn't mind doing every day for the rest of your life. The occupation needs to actually be desirable in the long run, and a decent paycheck does not fit the bill.
That’s a great link. And the gun in the shooting game is very very similar to Han Solos ...
yeah, i'm not sure how plastic waste has become such a hot issue recently, when the immediate threat is climate change and plastic waste is such a small contributor to climate change.

plastic helps us reduce food waste, and food waste is a contributor to climate change. reducing plastic usage where it's unnecessary is obviously good, but plastic isn't inherently bad. sometimes it really is the best solution, even in single-use form.
Amazon will swap in fakes no matter what seller you're using, as long as they're using Amazon's fullfillment services. Search this site, there is like one article a month about it.
Thanks for explaining this more eloquently than I was able to. I did a poor job of highlighting that I was mostly referring to to these out-patient drugs.

For example there is a drug you can take before chemo that reduces the side effects, it costs a lot, wasn't covered by the province and isn't free with private insurance. It can make a terrible experience a little more tolerable.
The whole system definitely gets more efficient, but it renders entire populations obsolete. The economic role of an average millennial in the West is currently to just get out of the way and be happy with some minimal amount of money that isn't much correlated with their personal efficiency. No motivation to grow, no paths to house ownership, questionable chances of ever affording a family - so the entire generation is pretty much sitting in depression and waiting to die of old age.
I'm sure it varies by region and time period, but for 2000-2019 in california, the cumulative inflation was 49%, while the minimum wage rose 108%.

And in the most recent years, wages are going up across the board at the low pay tier:

One of the big goals is to provide time for workers to either retire or retrain for different careers. Right now, a company can buy a robot (capital expense that they depreciate) and the worker is out of job with the possibility of a little severance pay and some unemployment for a short time. A tax that targeted jobs that have been automated away could be used to fund retraining programs and help those displaced workers find new careers.
Some good basic info, but at the same time there are some inaccuracies. WAV is not a lossless format, it's a container, it can contain any compressed audio format, even mp3. You can have PCM inside WAV, which is indeed lossless, but you're not going to see that in the wild too often. Going with 16k is also questionable, since most readily available pre-existing datasets, were recorded in 8k (which is what telephony codecs mostly use).
> audit the DAG of past commits

That's a branch-based way to look at it.
Why? I disagree that refusing a request is "ridicule", but even if it was, wouldn't the reason for it be that xe made a ridiculous demand to use a custom dictionary when referring to zer?
there is a catch though: automation and technology is not free , but there a high overhead cost that many businesses cannot afford. Also, may low skilled jobs cannot be automated.
I don't think this is the caveat you think it is.
But how will that avoid the problem of slowing down the future by sapping investment into it? I know it's a little more complicated than "more money means more X", but that actually is the premise behind every cancer and AIDS walk out there.
I didn't see anything that specified who owns the copyright. Tencent, I presume?

It also seems like a self-evident ruling. I don't see much difference, except a matter of degree, between computer-generated prose in this case, and something like LaTex. Page composition (graphic design) is generally covered by copyright [0]. In fact just about every creative content has some form of technological intermediary. An "AI" algorithm, or even something more basic, performs touch-up work on a photo. The photographer didn't do it, they just hit the button, just like whoever setup the system for Tencent. So I just don't see how courts could hold that copyright wouldn't apply in a case like this when so much content depends on computational generation of some sort.

Ask HN: How to Sell a Mobile Game?
I built a game, it's been on the app store for a long time. The code is good and it has some users. I made this game as part of the last company/startup I did, but I eventually went and got a day job. For a little more context, I've done games my whole career (20+ years), so on the technical side I know what I'm doing. I would like to either sell it or promote it so it might bring in more revenue (via in app purchase or ads probably). My questions are as follows, and I understand many details are left out in this post:

1) Are there buyers for games like this that are, for all intensive purposes, ready to be sold 'as is'?

2) Are there people out there that will participate in revenue share agreements based on their own ability to promote a game (at their own investment)? In this regard I can be relatively generous since my own hands-on work would be minimal at this point.

Hope that makes sense.
It's another everything tax. They just thought up a new word for it.
Station wagons basically morphed into crossover SUVs. It's the same concept - hatchback body on a sedan chassis - but sits a bit higher and has different styling.
The idea that if you give back what you stole your punishment will be lessened is as old as theft.

I want to see who posted to these besides the person that said they were.

In some cases it makes sense, I don’t expect Putin to make his own posts, we already know Clinton does not, but Greta Thunberg? Isn’t the denier campaign against her that she’s part of a PR initiative and not just a 16yo that made it to the world stage on her honest activism?

I’d like to see for myself who and how many people were posting on these people’s behalf - but I don’t want to go 4chan or support doxxing.

Wait... is this actually doxxing? It’s the name of an account that made a post on a public aite, doesn’t seem like the same as someone’s home address.
I'd like to find out more about what kind of setup Grandma has, in that case. I'm sitting here on an unmodified Safari installation, and the top of the window is obscured by a giant floating banner ad, while the bottom is obscured by a "subscribe" banner, which is _itself_ obscured by an oversized cookie notice. All of which leaves less than 80px of height to read the actual article content. Given the nice large font size, that means I can see three lines of text at any given moment. I didn't have the same issue that GP did, but it's definitely true that Wired has been adopting some awful web development practices for a while now.

(Side note: My kids' grandma is a retired software developer. So I guess maybe it's just that the average grandma is more sophisticated than we are?)
