I just setup Edge a few minutes ago. There are two options "Inspirational" and "Focused" that show no crappy tabloid news websites and one that does - I didn't pick that one :)

Also, happy to report that 1password has an extension for Edge as well - that's awesome.

Only thing I'm missing is a dark mode extension. I don't trust the somewhat sketchy ones that I see so far on the store.

Right? How does one even consider posing food as a counterpoint to the claim that someone shouldn’t be making 2.3 million in one year?
This new edge replaces the old one.
Residents are closely supervised by another physician. So it's not just paying for the resident, it's paying for the supervisor as well. And early on, the supervisor is going to be combing through the details of each patient to make sure mistakes aren't made.

That plus the throughput of residents is going to be much lower than a trained physician.

As such, Medicare pays a "training institution" premium for all billing. It's a small bomb (5%?) but pays for the resident.
Most hospitals operate at a loss.

The ones that don't nickel and dime their patients, or even engage in outright billing fraud.

Do you really want to move more hospitals to the latter form of doing business? Because they would be a huge net loss for everyone except the hospital CEOs.

Ask HN: True Apartment Costs in SF?
For those here working in San Francisco, what is the true cost of, for example, a 1 BR apartment there, with a minimal commute to tech hubs?

I see a lot of posts mentioning numbers up to $3,500-4000. I'm sure those exist (everywhere), but I also see many on CL in the $2,500-2,800 range, which is still high of course but not as high as those other numbers, and not that far from (if not equivalent to) NYC and other high COL cities, where salaries are lower in comparison.

Certain articles may also pick out the highest-priced units to make a point.

Some of the ads I see may be deceptive, but I've seen enough that it seems like there are semi-decent places in that range.

Is that true?

State taxes are highest there as well, but it still comes down to net earnings, at least for purposes of this question. :)

When you consider "monopoly" or "market unfairness" you have to look at it on the state level. I don't think anyone is complaining about Europe where Apple is in the minority of phones. I would assume we're talking about the USA where Apple does have outsized influence compared to other phone brands. We aren't talking about Apple vs Google. It's Apple vs Samsung/Google Pixel Line/Motorola/Nokia and their abuse of their status as the largest phone seller in the USA.

I wonder if it's improvements in automation or if QA responsibilities are increasingly rolling up into standard developer roles or because the line between QA and dev is blurring (e.g., software testing now requires stronger dev/automation skills so the QA job looks more like standard software engineering)?

This doesn't change the fact that the risks of harrassment for a homeless person can increase (or also decrease, depending on details of the situation) if they become well known.

For example, a local business owner or homeowner could start their own private campaign of harrassment by making a series of reports to the police. This can even be done anonymously.

I remember all the puff pieces when Obama's campaign did something similar in 2012, where his app would drink down all the data it could from the social graph. When CA broke, I was asking people why they thought this was news and why I only used Facebook to shitpost on company pages, it wasn't exactly a well kept secret that you could do that.
We're actually saying the same thing. You're saying without an encoding you can't turn bytes into a string (technically, in Python terminology, that's a decoding, but you know... ;-). I'm saying a string doesn't have a byte representation without an encoding. That's two perspectives on the same truth.

I absolutely agree that a string has meaning without a byte representation. That's the whole point of having it as a distinct type.

You are either colossally misinformed on the issue of Kyiv vs Kiev and the way geographic name spellings are formed, or use this deliberately as an outlet for colonialist sentiments. I hope it's not the latter.

"Kiev" is not an English word. It's a transliteration of Russia's spelling of the city name, back from the times when Ukraine was a part of an oppressive dictatorship that killed millions of Ukrainians (Soviet Union). Ukraine is now an independent country with Ukrainian as its official language (and has been for three decades, and it fought for this right for centuries). Kyiv is a direct transliteration of the city name from Ukrainian. It has now been adopted by governments & major media across the globe. If you don't like, deal with it.

Termux is cool tech (including running full Linux in a chroot). I would also mention UserLAnd [0] to run full Linux distributions sand specific application with a simple install.

The thing I am missing the most is HDMI video out, as my retired Nexus 5 could do with MHL and a simple dongle on the USB micro port. That dongle could also provide power and another USB port for a mouse or keyboard. Very few modern phones seem to have any video out other than casting. I do see that DisplayLink does support Android, but I've yet to find a dongle that also provides USB C power delivery in a nice portable package.

I avoided Stephen Covey’s “7 Habits [...]” for years and years — but when I finally read it, it was much deeper than I’d imagined, and less superficial than a lot of “self help” books out there.

One central habit in the book is around “saw sharpening” and essentially making time to invest in yourself, so ultimately you can invest in interpersonal relationships. It’s kind of a “hierarchy of needs”. You need time, and money — and sometimes neither seem to be available.

I can’t do the whole thing justice here, but for the sake of advancing my point — it begins with sorting out what’s urgent and important from what’s trivial and unimportant, and learning to be proactive. Personal finance is something to consider as well, because saving and reducing expenses can buy you some additional flexibility in your life.

With some spare time and money, you get to the question of — what do I do next? How do I learn, where do I start? Personally, I think the best way to learn is to build something! Build something that you’re passionate about, and try to solve a problem. Then, see if you can demonstrate value to others — speak to real people who use your product, empathize, and try to make it better.

In terms of big company vs startup, both — like anything — have their ups-and-downs. In my experience, if there’s something worth optimizing for it’s this: try to work with great people. Kind, brilliant, considerate people.
Do you mean:

The AMA is the association of doctors. Why should they be responsible for paying for the training of more doctors?

If Hospitals and practices paid for their own residencies, they could lower overall costs, and perhaps work on deals with people to encourage them to stay, etc.

This is simply false. Paying for their own residencies would increase hospital costs since they don't currently pay for residency positions, and they're already free to work on deals to encourage residents to stay post-residency, including, for example, supplementing residents' pay.

I know. But that wetware doesn't scale out easily, their families vote at home and so on. Machines are cheap. 100 humans with 15% failure rate will kill a number of people, sure.

100 thousand automatic machines with 5% failure will kill many, many more. Possibly forever, because there will be no need "take our troops home". The troops are already at home, pressing kill/live in their drone baracks.
I would think the only thing that really matters is time to stow carry one. Everyone has a carry on, then late groups are asked to check it but everyone wants to see with their own eyes that there is no space or people put their roller in flat, when it clearly states to turn it on its side in newer planes with drop down overhead space.
In America, the primary "road safety" I was taught as a kid was "look both ways before crossing the road." I think the Japanese priority is based more on obeying traffic lites, though this is just conjecture from media and my experience.

It's hard to say one way or another without the data. How big is the marketing team and budget/headcount/overhead? What's their ARR? How many QA people were laid off and at what salary ranges? How big was QA compared to other departments?
Surely it couldn't stay a secret in the industry. Especially as plenty of people spoke up against other questionable practices.

Maybe it's like the dieselgate thing where various engineers may not see the big picture, but I honestly do not believe this is the case. I have a strong feeling that for vast majority of people, ads have a significant effect on your purchases, perhaps you were not thinking about traveling to Aruba but after couple of your friends went there, talked to you about and you got bunch of ads showing beautiful Aruba you decided to go. They don't need to listen to you to "get you".
The blog posts mention that releasing it today is a shot across the bow for Enterprise. Given Enterprises like their year+ efforts to "test" software before ever deploying it, they want Enterprise to start that process today, ahead of 20H1 when all consumers presumably will be pushed to it.

It's also a very subtle signal for several reasons to release it the day after Extended Support for Windows 7 ended. On the one hand, it supports Windows 7, so there is a possible mixed message there, which is why it is subtle. On the other hand, some of these Enterprises should realize that the last time the browser team at Microsoft did a release like this after/ahead of a Windows EOL they highly revised their browser security support policy. (Back with IE11 adding support for a couple older versions of Windows and Microsoft immediately dropping support for IE <11, despite earlier "bundled with Windows support timeframe" promises.) It can be seen as a very subtle "IE is dead, move on from it, already, you dinosaur customers".
There's hundreds of other engineers that can probably do as good of a job or better than him.

I think it’s important we don’t let confirmation bias muddy the discussion. It’s a trap I see is easily fall into, e.g., some uncommon weather event happens and we point the finger immediately to man-made climate change.

I would guess that it reduces the workload of certain doctors (like ER/Urgent Care) if more people have access to preventative care. From what I've heard, being an internist isn't as well paying/sexy so fewer residents are going that direction which might be bad since there's where a lot of the workload would shift.

One option is to just use the Linux ecosystems' terminal emulators. To do this, you'll need a windows X11 server, I use VcXrv (choco install vcxrv).

Then, export DISPLAY=:0.0 in your .bashrc, and then you should be able to launch WSL GUI apps. You can then create a windows shortcut to call bash.exe with arguments to open whichever terminal you use.

Alternatively, Alacritty is a super minimal, GPU accelerated terminal emulator. Plus, it's written in Rust.

Lemme tell you a story...

First week on the job, I'm reporting to an executive multiple layers above where I would typically be, because everyone in between had suddenly been moved / left / positions never filled. I have a contractor reporting to me who is interviewing to be my boss. At the end of the first week, several other managers take me aside and tell me I need to get rid of that contractor ASAP. This sets the tone for the next year, where I have at least four different managers that I can recall. A year later when I'm interviewing for an internal promotion, that I "didn't move fast enough" to remove that contractor (who went on to Google...) is held against me, but I otherwise win the interview loop - only to have the position given to someone else out of essentially nepotism (...and that didn't go well for anyone, but we'll leave it at that). BTW - the team I was working on (as a solo developer...) was the only one in the company generating reliable profits, essentially funding the rest of the (public, at the time mid-sized name brand) company.

This isn't even the only story I have like this in my career. Point being - many of us have accidentally walked into jobs or contracts where things aren't what they seem or what was promised. If you like the overall company and think you can get an internal transfer at some point in the near (-ish) future, then stay. If you think that it was just a big mistake all around, then leave and be thankful that the economy is in good shape and that there are jobs in most metro areas for technical people (unlike after the dotCom / 9/11 meltdown, lemme tell you about that...)

>The No-True-Scotsman actual cyclists have largely moved to electronic shifting and such

Not true at all.

Electronic shifting is a thing, yes: google for "Shimano Di2". However, road bikes with this are usually at least $4k: it's really something reserved for very high-end road bikes. I got a $3k road bike last year and it doesn't have it, nor does anything else in the low-to-mid range. It'll likely be a while before it comes to low-end road bikes (which are generally still "high end" compared to cheap Walmart bikes)

>and the utility bikes are quickly moving to e-bikes.

Again, not really. There's at least an order of magnitude difference in pricing between a regular utility bike and an e-bike. I've been to cities recently where many, many people commute by bike, and only a very small percentage are e-bikes, though they are getting more popular, but still they're a LOT more money than a regular cheap bike.

Well, if you save the company a million dollars, do you get even .01% of that?

Nope.

Large companies are like communism, even when there are opportunities for internal competition, it is stamped out. And for all the talk of "market pay" and "executive rentention bonuses", there is little in the way of incentivizing employees with revenue sharing tied to what they produce.

Which underlines the entrenched oligarchy of the USA. Like a meta-conway's law, our government is just a reflection of large corporations in the age of cartel/monopoly/consolidation in virtually all sectors.
