The same political division occurred back then. The right fights for abstainance-only sex ed; the left fights for harm-reduction such as prophylactics and teaching to the science.

But to address the absolutism in your question. If everybody in possession of a penis wore a condom at all times (a) they'd get nasty and possibly gangrenous, [so i'll assume you mean "when the penis is deployed in/on/around a second party"] and (b) it would reduce the birth rate by about 90%.

There's no real reason for the government to be funding residency slots. Residents are profitable for hospitals and the slots are objectively valuable things. Hahnemann Hospital shut down and auctioned off their residency slots for 1 million per slot. In other words, the right to hire a resident and collect their subsidy is worth 1 million dollars.

The government is a convenient scapegoat to protect a system that restricts the supply of doctors to maintain their wages.
> What's the point of getting more months of life, if you can't do anything?

I sympathise with the way you feel, but here he did not refused treatment to better live the time he had left but chose "alternative medicines" instead. The discourse in those online communities is not that you should appreciate the time you have left but that they can heal you.

Those are two very different situations and while the outcome is sadly identical, they should not be conflated.

When my grandmother was diagnosed with lung cancer she refused medical treatment. She did not want to go through the therapy, the medical process was a worse outcome than death for her. She seemed to just decide that she was done, resigned to her fate.

My uncle offered her some kind of herbal tea as a solution to her cancer. Grandma had a worse view of alternative medicine than the actual medicine she had already refused. I had never seen her so upset with my uncle. Her reaction has stayed with me.
So called "engineers" at cloudflare are EXTREMELY INCOMPETENT!!! They have such a low IQ... For example, if you just clicked some button by mistake on their website, they will immediately save the change without any confirmation required (they don't have a save button). You can do really bad things if you are not very careful.

Their 2FA is also a garbage. Once I lost my smartphone and asked them to reset 2FA, they only asked me when I changed some records on my domain as a proof. There is a website that track all domain changes for all domains and the website showed me when the record was changed. I sent the information to cloudflare and 2FA was deactivated. That means that EVERYONE CAN DISABLE ANY 2FA on cloudflare, because the only required information to do this is publicly available to anyone.

Even if they provide their service for free, I will not use it.

It's More Than a Mouse
Docker has had khakis with a zippered pocket concealed in the seam for something like 15 years. They used to call it some nerdy name that I can’t seem to recall, but they’ve been there.

I had a couple pair stashed away hoping I’d lose weight but when I did I suddenly remembered I don’t wear khakis or slacks anymore, so why am I keeping these?

But a pocket that low on the thigh could take a hit, and I’m not sure these days when I’m more active if that’s a great idea.

Years before the DIY/maker movement started up, I saw a howto where someone slit the pocket in their jeans and sewed a second pocket over it, so that you had a double pocket. I know someone who owns a serger and I have made noises several times about getting some pants altered but we never manage to connect on that.

It’ll all be moot anyway in a few years if they keep making phones bigger. We will all be carrying purses for our phones.

The whole point of the article is the placement and design of pockets.

Saying, "Oh, its just all some pants with pockets and thus it's all the same reinvention" doesn't help anybody - it's like saying to one which proposes a better roofing system that a shed and a house have both a roof already, so why bother making it better for one of those. Er what?
Yep. Same thing is happening to me now. My dad got thyroid cancer in 2006. In 2018 it spread to his lungs, and in 2019 to his brain. My parents spend a lot of time daily researching "alternative therapies". It's terrible to watch it and not be able to do anything about it.
From the article the doctors estimated his long term survival at 50%. So he wasn’t just trading chemo for a few months. He could have lived a long life.

$200/300. Everyone uses income based repayment plans. It's literally impossible to make standard payment plan monthly payments on a residents salary (assuming a average debt).

Those payments don't even reach the principle though, so it's more just kicking the can down the road.
Before “meme” implied GIF or JPG it was just the idea of self replicating ideas that propagate from brain to brain. Text is a medium for meme propagation. The meme itself is independent of the medium. One could catch QAnon from a GIF and pass it on to someone else verbally. Calling the GIF a “meme” is just a colloquialism.

I very likely agree with you on every gun ppoint, but i do have a question / counter often raised to me - that i don't have to answer to:

How would tight regulations like that look in a large country already flooded with weapons of all shapes and sizes?

I know multiple pro-gun people who seem to compose a large percentage of their pro-gun belief system around the foundation of the inability to remove them. Ie any bad guy who ever wants a gun will always have it (because there's so many), so give more guns to the good people.

What are your thoughts there? I don't really have a counter.

My point is less about the content being useful/interesting and more about being mindful of our information diet.

How many videos do you need to watch about music theory? Does it ever feel like the same content but regurgitated in different ways? Do you watch this to genuinely learn? Or is it more enjoyment/infotainment? (honest questions)

I don't study music theory, but this is how I feel about productivity/self-help/business videos, which dominate my feed. Although these videos were life changing at one point, I'm not sure how much more value I'm getting by continuing to watch these anymore. When I get to the end of these videos, nowadays, I just feel a bit 'bleh'.

It feels nice to find new, refreshing content that is completely outside of what the youtube algo would give me, and sometimes that happens by talking to friends (esp in different industries), reading books, old blog posts, etc. I want to stay curious and proactive in finding discovering new things and hobbies and interests.
There was a time before the web. Netscape didn't release its first versions until almost 1995. Usenet wasn't added to AOL until 1993. IIRC chat rooms, mail, and freeware downloads were big AOL features in those days. This is the same time frame as OP was referring to (eWorld was '94-'96).
It was a revelation to me to hear also about homeopathy being followed in Germany. Forgive the generalization, and perhaps the usual mistake of stereotyping, but I thought Germans prided themselves on logic and efficiency. Are there reasons or demographic aspects to this buy-in?
> The new American bosses tend to be surprised that employees have rights

This reads like bad fanfic - you are relying on people’s ignorance of Norwegian law and stating things that are just not true. For instance

Employers can ask employees to not discuss politics on work time except as it relates to the job, both countries have the same exception and rules for this.

Employers can require drug testing in Norway though it is less common - the law you are referring to is about full medical examinations and specifically excludes substance testing.
If your post was not intended to be an example of the harm of "woke" it accidentally is serving as one. Blind accusations of racism is one of the main things people are done with.

I'm currently at work (thank Pomodoro for HN breaks, curse Murphy for causing everything to fall apart at the same time on a Friday). I'm a college-educated, homeowner, married, father of one, controls engineer. I spend my days at work between my office programming and designing industrial automation equipment, on the shop floor building it, and customer sites selling, upgrading, or maintaining it. I'm not a punk kid, nor am I a paratrooper, and I don't pretend to be nor do I look like either of those things.

I'm currently wearing cargo pants (Columbia Flex Roc). I typically wear Levi's 541s. The Columbia pants do happen to have a side-seam welt pocket that that meets all your requirements. They're comfortable both in a customer conference room or if I'm on the plant floor inside a machine.

I think the reason people are offended by your characterization is that they wear 'cargo pants' but we are not in a different demographic. My Columbia pants solve the exact problem you have and are worn by people exactly within your demographic. (Not to mention physically closer than you think, after a bit of stalking your website, I'm 20 miles north of you, we probably have some of the same clients).

Though it's also possible that they're not cargo pants, maybe they're dad pants. That.... might be the case. And perhaps you're rebelling against becoming one of 'those' middle-aged men. Just give in to it. Have you tried carrying your multitool in the side seam pocket? It's just so handy! :)

The first chemo gave him six more years. The 50% estimate was for long term survival, which is generally considered to be 10-15 years or more. It doesn’t say what his short term survival odds may have been. Somewhere between 51-99%.
Would you rather that we don't discuss bats in this specific thread? Because all that mentioned so far is that bats are(were) sold at Wuhan market as food, and that they may have a role in spreading the virus. Both of that is true.

> When Direct3D was introduced there was no Glide nor MiniGL

You must be from a different universe: MiniGL was released in 1996 - the very same year Direct3D 4.0 and Direct3D 5.0 shipped... As for Glide - that started also in 1996 and was commonly used until 3dfx went defunct.

> During the mid to late 90s there were barely any extensions and OpenGL 1.1

Again - in which timeline was that the case? Certainly not in this one: in 1996 (!!!) there were about 90(!!!) vendor-specific extensions [1]. This is not a question of whether you in particular are aware of them or their particular usefulness, they did have use cases and were supported across vendors; sometimes, with varying levels of support...

> Microsoft had a software rasterizer for OpenGL 1.1 that behaved very close to the spec and SGI had also released their own software rasterizer.

Neither of those were references that you could reliably run pixel-level A/B tests against to verify your drivers.

There never was an official reference implementation and there probably won't be any either.

> The main extension that would be needed during the very late 90s was multitexturing

Unless you were porting software from other systems like SGI workstations, which I did at the time. And believe me - it wasn't fun and having half a dozen code paths to work around that depending on the target hardware wasn't "clean" either.

I won't comment on your "which API is better"-drivel since your arguments didn't age well anyway. We're back to execution buffers and manual (texture-) managing for performance reasons so I could just as well argue that early Direct3D was actually ahead of its time... But that's a matter of opinion and not a technical issue.

> There are always people involved that knew about his situation lied to him, took his money for fake cures and fake diagnosis.

Probably, but I'm not at all sure how many. People believe in the weirdest things, and some make a business out of it not to exploit the gullible, but because they actually believe in it as well.

When I talked to Feng Shui consultants I never got the faintest hint of them suppressing laughter and about to burst out what a great gig it is and how stupid the clients are. I see no reason why that shouldn't be similar in the "alternative medicine" field. There are certainly some that exploit it, but I'm absolutely not sure that they are the majority or even a sizable minority. People believe in the weirdest things.
Maybe you ought to re-read The Selfish Gene. It first distills evolution down to first principles: there are classes of chemicals that tend to construct copies or near-copies of themselves; the chemicals that do not do this but consume raw material from the same finite pool will gradually decrease in frequency; meaning over time chemical variants/combinations that are more successful at duplicating themselves propagate while those who fail to secure resources do not propagate.

At a certain degree of chemical complexity, things start behaving like organisms, and in fact soon thereafter we just call those groupings/combinations of chemicals “organisms.”

The distillation to first principles is: anything that reproduces with some error then must compete for finite resources, where failure precludes propagation, will “evolve” toward higher fitness (given the particular context/environment).

This first principles explanation of evolution can be readily applied to ideas, thus: memetics. Memetics was not arrived at by analogy to genetics. Both were derived from the same first principles of replication and selection.
an interesting aspect of this is the aversion to traditional therapy caused by experiencing it the first time and how much it made him suffer, I wonder how much of the motivation was due to that versus how much was due to the "false hope"

I also wonder if this is a argument for there being value in investing in ways of making chemotherapy less traumatic even though it wouldn't be making it more effective, just less psychological damage
Well not doing anything decreases your chances of survival to about 0%, so I think that is definitely fair to say.
This is actually a really cool idea. I think the people who are saying they don’t want to inject a 3rd party in the middle of their business are missing the point or are working on projects large enough that this doesn’t make sense.

A 5-7% overall fee (once stripe’s fees are taken into account) could make sense for a lot of small businesses that don’t want to manage this stuff, although I feel realistically you could reduce your fee significantly for larger customers.

The fee structure also starts to make a lot more sense if the focus is less on login, and more about making it really easy to monetize your product (different subscription tiers, gating features, pricing suggestions, funnel analysis, a landing page generator, etc).

Regardless I’ve built side projects before that still have lots of daily active users that I never monetized because I couldn’t be bothered to do all the payment and subscription integration work.

If I could start a new project today and know that I have:

1) User management (auth, password reset, etc) which is tedious to reimplement
2) Payments

Working from day one that’s a very enticing idea, although you’ll need to build faith that your service is reliable and will be around for a long time to get people to start using it.

Coronation Street - a popular TV soap in the UK had a storyline about this last year [0]. As the storyline played out, the character chose alternative therapies before finally trying conventional medicine, but it was too late & she lost her life.

I think it was quite brave of a soap to tackle that, & hopefully it's made people think if they were considering alternative 'solutions'.

Ultimately, individuals are responsible for their choices in "free societies." I don't want to live in a world where all information is regulated by the government.

This is a good story about poor choices made by an individual, but I hope it is not fodder for any attempt at regulating what free people choose to do with their lives. I think we need to do a better job at educating people on the dangers of freedom...what do you guys think? Perhaps we need some sort of "media literacy" education at the primary school level that trains people in evaluating sources of information ( which seems to be reserved for the university level in many cases, unfortunately ).

My thoughts are with the family of this man.

> Conspiracy theorists and unethical people with agendas use documents like this to support their beliefs, and it becomes impossible to refute them

This should give you a very hard pause and rethink. If it becomes impossible to refute unethical people because they have sources to back them up how do you know that anyone who has ever used scientific evidence in any shape or form was doing it ethically? Maybe they were just very good at citing sources?

Secondly, most ethics (except perhaps honesty) is fundamentally consensus driven. Science is supposed to be orthogonal to consensus. Thus, if one wants to be an honest scientist, one must accept possibility that one's work might be used for unethical ends. And honesty, to remind you, is an ethical position.
It is a fallacy to believe that public information about a non corporal entity would help establish fairness. All corporations operate under the act of blame and judgement to increase profits, or they simply cease to be.
Not the OP, but just another data point.

While it's interesting that you're thinking outside the box on pricing models, I would personally never signup for a login service on a revenue sharing basis - I'd much prefer a monthly fee (the standard SaaS model). The percentage also seems way to high in comparison to the value-add - Stripe, who actually process the payment, are taking less than you.

Having said that, I don't think I (or most of HN) would be the target market for this kind of login service.

But I wonder if you can find some kind of niche. Something for individuals and micro businesses that have no tech chops and just want an easy way to sell stuff. For that though, you'd need to go further than login, perhaps turning it into a WordPress plugin (or for another platform), and doing something to provide sales through Stripe, so the user doesn't have to build that themselves.
