>I'm curious about what kind of cancer masquerades as iron deficiency, an infection, and a benign tumor?

The kind of cancer where the patient can be easily dismissed by the doctor because of course they know best.

Access to information is a euphemistic way of putting it. Another way of putting it would be control over the delivery of information...

Surprised not to see this mentioned anywhere. In finance, we don’t look at maximizing total return but rather risk adjusted return. Buying a lotto ticket has amazing total return if you hit the jackpot but really bad risk adjusted return.

The thing you should spend some time doing is deciding what your risk tolerance is and how much variance in your portfolio you can stomach. Then you can start talking investment strategies.
in many societies not the market itself, but the government shoulders a big share of the costs for the arts. Societies came to the conclusion that they need to publicly fund the arts in order to give everyone access to culture and not turn it into a luxury commodity. It's astonishing how much many things like entrances for museums, theatres and art installation would cost if they would need to pay for themselves. Many would not, or hardly able to pay such a premium price, shutting them off from the culture that defines the societies themselves.
It's an "experience" designed by designers, not a power user tool.
Congress is the political wing of American capitalism. The #1 way they get there is by appeasing moneyed interests. Only by pissing off just enough voters, do they lose elections in favor of some other person who has already appeased enough moneyed interest. Appeasement is necessary because elections are expensive and aren't publicly funded.
As gone over in the discussion above [1], you can only compute those TMs that you can unroll into a fixed size circuit, which means (at most) only the subset of TMs that halt; doing this in the general case requires a halting oracle, which is not possible. That's not arbitrary computation by any reasonable definition.

Furthermore, it adds a huge constraint to programming: you can only implement loops with iterations bounded by a constant known at compile time. (And if you derive any of those constants from the inputs at the time you're compiling it for the FHE machine to execute, you've leaked information about said inputs.)

That was a bad example. A better one is that TikTok has no consistent guidelines on what videos are allowed on their platform. A video I made with "\actually buys heroin like a boss\" was allowed to stay up on the platform, but then another one with the same text was `Removed for violating Community Guidelines`. Someone I knew had their account taken down for pretending to, well, hump an anime body pillow, and yet they'd been featured in TikTok advertisements months before.
You can literally stand in front of the white house and call president trump whatever you want. Nobody is going to stop you. Go stand in front of the white house with a picture of trump calling him a cheeto or whatever, you're fine. You cannot even call the chinese dictator winnie the pooh online in china, or you get gulag'd.

So the new site still intentionally (contrary to your prior claim that all links were removed and that you verified this in your source) links to the old site, and you don't understand why the appeal of the badware listing due to that link failed?
“While the progress of Moore's law has yielded great improvements in modern processors, the processors of the 1970s are much better for reverse engineering.”

I expect future hobbyists will want to reverse engineer the hardware they used in their youth.

I have the impression most of today’s reverse engineering is manual. Even if it’s already software-assisted, what would future researchers tackling much larger CPUs need most?

I can imagine, for example, software that, given an image of a transistor, finds all similar transistors on the die, or software that detects adders or multipliers, or software that finds major pathways on the die (e.g. to automatically trace the route the clock signal takes)

sounds like an excuse to me. How is a political organization in a country that has no jurisdiction over you in any way a threat to your individual freedoms, but the state apparatus in your own country somehow not even when its literally telling you which apps you can use and which ones you can't?
> I'm not comfortable investing the entirety into an index fund, given the current socio-political climate.

The government is printing an awful lot of money right now.

Keeping your money in cash isn’t a guaranteed return if inflation goes up significantly. You’re much better having it in assets with intrinsic value. (Stocks, real estate, etc)

I would suggest investing the money over the course of a couple years into an index fund, probably S&P 500 or total market.

Even if you invest at the worst possible times (right before crashes) you’ll come out way far ahead of leaving it in cash.

This is a game America can't win, either way the CCP gets to keep the upper hand, everpresent threat or discrediting entirely.
Kindof. The mere fact that the S&P 500 exists causes the potential jump in price for that one stock, but since you hold everything in VTSMX, you also see the jump in TSLA.

Worse, since you own every stock (not really, but close enough), you now have the 500 companies representing about $27 trillion of market cap, and then thousands more representing only another $8-9 trillion. So any change in the smaller companies is dwarfed by one good (or bad) day of AAPL, AMZN, GOOG, etc (as happened yesterday).

So if you want the whole stock market, buy it in multiple pieces - a large cap, a small cap, and a mid-cap funds.

As to your bookkeeping comment about being easier, you are absolutely correct. In fact, a competent financial advisor has the tools to trade the S&P themselves for clients (literally buying all 500 stocks individually and in correct proportions to the index).

Thanks for your insightful contribution to the thread. I also hope to hear from the original poster about the type of cancer, because the story is interesting.
Thanks for responding. I agree you can go from what I said to "the system works there is no problem", but that is certainly not my intent. Unfortunately flipping between different paradigms (individual action vs collective action) is always going to feel like this, because it is exactly what politicians get paid to do to us. This tendency to judge other-paradigm thinking as justification for corruption is a cause of our polarization.

I have personally been in this situation, but for much smaller stakes ($80 initial quote, $50 agreed-upon xray charge, $120 surprise charge at the end). I complained, they dropped it a bit, and I rolled over and paid it on the spot because I was in the process of administering an estate and didn't need more paperwork to save $70. So yeah, life can certainly get ahead of all of us.

But this isn't a friend telling me her story while I'm telling her she's wrong, but an example that has been elevated to a news article. What is the article's overall point - the healthcare industry is corrupt and Covid is yet another opportunity for a cash grab? We already know that!

To the extent that my basic explanation in terms of contracts is incorrect because there's some Texas statute that allows healthcare providers to engage in surprise billing even when there is a contract, then this article really needs to cite it - scrapping that law would be a direct path to reform!

If there is no such law, and this has just developed by custom, then these articles need to investigate what happens when you litigate this. Imagine widespread form letters to repudiate fraudulent debts - half of these cases would disappear overnight.

Otherwise we're left sitting and just waiting for single payer, which will be yet another corporate cash grab. I do think single payer is the way forward (let patients deal with one bureaucratic nightmare instead of being trapped in between two of them), but if you think it's going to be some straightforward sea change then check out how Medicare Advantage plans work.
I mean a branch in the sense of branch of execution (#ifdef

You pay either way.

This is a private company looking for profit. They want to raise your rates.
I cannot echo this enough. If you're eventually trying to be the CEO: sell, sell, sell, and then sell some more. If you've got customers waiting, you have so much more of an advantage when it comes to finding a technical co-founder. "I've got this great idea." pales in comparison to "I've got this great idea and 10 letters of intent/1000 people on a waiting list/$X,000 in revenue using gmail and a spreadsheet." (not all of those but the more the better), you'll easily be able to find someone.

If you're eventually trying to become the CTO with someone else doing the selling, then learn to code it up yourself.
Jeff Bezos invests privately, not Amazon (of course due to that relationship talent and resources will probably flow more easily between the companies).

It's like saying SpaceX isn't Tesla.

I think voting can mean different things to different people.

Some people upvote or downvote because they agree or disagree. They view it as a "vote" for the opinion.

Others upvote or downvote because they thing the argument is strong or weak, or maybe because someone said something nice and positive to another person or someone said something mean or hostile to another person.

I strongly favor the second approach.
It's more complex. Basically, you have to be careful when playing with a bubble, or you'll pop it.

Their astronomical stock growth, with no underlying business reasons (as in - nothing fundamentally changed about their business, or their competitors), that even CEO says made company overvalued, 50% ago is a bubble.

They may grow into it, or slowly deflate it. But big pop of the bubble can be deadly to a company.
It matters hugely.

Obama's pivot was based on TTP, and generally avoiding direct confrontation with China.

Trump's agenda is completely different - ignoring partnership/bilateral approach, and fairly assertively acting against China.

But those were also strategies founded in different eras: the TTP was create back when China was still not quite powerful enough to be a dangerous world actor. Now it's more of a 'standoff' situation with unpredictable leadership from Trump.

And with only a 4 year horizon after which 'everything changes' on the American side.
Where have you heard the US government is blocking the app? The gigantic security issues have been because the US government doesn't block apps like this.

It can forbid government workers from using it on government-provided devices. This is sensible due to the capabilities for arbitrary code execution and the full permissions to the device the app requires of the user. Amazon has done that with their employees as well. But the US government doesn't have a Great Firewall. Even if they wanted to, they couldn't ban or block it.

Edit: Apologies. I mistook the unlikelihood of anything like this being effective as reason enough for no one (let alone the President) to make statements like this. I stand corrected.

If only a point of balance. Intel integrated GPU is safe choice on Linux. If it was not there would be space for competitors - entry level GPUs, AMD iGPU.
I only use a third party app to browse Instagram, which both blocks advertisements and stories. I keep the main app on my phone and only use it to create posts of my own. Whenever I open it I'm amazed at the sheer quantity of nonsense that's hurled at the user. I have no idea how people can put up with it.
this can be a good way for europe, too. after the last court ruling: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/07/16/european-court-rules-on-face... there must be changes. Maybe this means us users can't see eu users in the social networks and vice versa. But then we could finally post our nipples on instagram!

> a competent financial advisor has the tools to trade the S&P themselves for clients (literally buying all 500 stocks individually and in correct proportions to the index).

That’s not the point though. A one time buy is easy - rebalancing quarterly, and rebalancing when a huge new company is added is the hard part (as evidenced by the need for buying $35-40Billion worth of TSLA and selling an equivalent amount of other stocks).
C# dev here, mainly working in enterprise size companies who are Microsoft shops. We usually deploy on Windows for on-prem services, and on Linux for cloud services (some on VMs, some on containers, some serverless).

I'm more of a Windows guy for desktop, but always prefer Linux for server. Nowadays dotnet is a first class citizen on Linux and MacOS, through dotnet core.

On performance, there has been a big focus on perf by the dotnet team over the past years - I'd be shocked if Java could beat dotnet on just about any metric. If you know what you're doing you can write allocation-free code, and you even have hardware intrinsics at your disposal - I recently ported a hashing algorithm to C# and got the performance pretty close to parity with native C code (almost memory speed).

C# doesn't get much love on HN, but IMO it's a truely fantastic language.
I'll admit to being one of those anti-JS stick in the mud's, I really hate when people overload what should be a text doc with JS. However, this looks really cool.

I think partially it's that once you are doing something at this level, you are no longer just turning a document into an app, you are writing an app that can be deployed almost anywhere.

I think the future will trend in this direction to be honest.

edit: tend -> trend

I guess I never really noticed in the corporate world because my old company would just pay the modest price for icon licenses, but on my own, I find myself a bit more weary to purchase a $99/year subscription just to play around with some of their nicer icons with my personal coding projects.

On the other hand, I do appreciate all the free icons they offer and how easy it is to access them!

> I'm all for being a cynic.

This has nothing to do with cynicism, if anything I feel its more an issue of uncaptured gains as Social Media has the potential to do so much more, but is marred with the constraints that it has, which includes but is not limited to mass-surveillance.

> I can acknowledge it is marvelous how anonymous-to-us Instagram accounts have absolutely steered energy and awareness over the past two months.

How so, again, I'm open to the idea of this being the case, I just personally fail to do so as I'm not a user.

> Now we have state level changes that create webs of liability, practically overnight, because of how the energy is being steered in a more collaborative and cohesive way.

And you attribute this to Social Media presence and pressure? I mean, I cannot help but see this is the equivalent of how people get outraged by Trump's tweets.
Couldn’t you have said the same about Snapchat a few years ago? Not that it’s about to shut down, but it’s definitely not the white hot app it was hyped to be.
> If I put a tracking device in my car today my rates would go up because I accelerate quickly and brake hard when conditions allow. That is not right.

If statistically other drivers who do that are more likely to, on average, result in a loss for the insurer, they are right to raise your rates. "Past Performance is no guarantee of future results"

With enough data, maybe it would support your assertion that you are, in fact, a very safe driver, by realizing that you only drive fast at certain times, in certain locations that are statistically lower risk.
Maybe you are just not the target audience here? YouTube also has videos like TikTok and it still has a bazillion users...

I wouldn’t call it “demonizing”, per se, but it’s a real phenomenon.

I live in Brooklyn where rent isn’t the cheapest. The rents aren’t driven up because I’m in a bidding war with Jeff Bezos; they’re driven up because I’m in a bidding war with other high earning millennial yuppies. The blue collar “middle class” worker doesn’t stand a chance in our neighborhood.

In contrast, my folks live in Wisconsin, where the same blue collar “middle class” worker probably doesn’t care about rent bidding wars because they just put a down payment on a nice starter home.
Make that three. I still don't have my driving license either, and I wanted such a game ever since I started learning for the exam.

Me too. I've never been a 'fanboy' of any given manufacturer or ecosystem. Even while still a Windows user I starting moving my laptop hardware to Apple in 2010 once I saw it clearly was the best. I painfully lived through the awful #keyboardgate years in 2017-19 and lived to tell the tale, and I'll only move to a different 'whole package' that's superior as soon once someone actually makes one. I recently realised maybe trackpad isn't everything, and I guess it's not. It's about the balance of the whole package. Since I adore macOS anyway (it's like a half Linux what with homebrew), I have no problem with it for now.
C# has gone completely open source and cross platform. .NET core was essentially a huge modernization of the entire runtime and ecosystem. It's becoming one of the most performant managed languages according to Techempower benchmarks.

For those who won't ever be homeless, another thing to consider about UBI going to homeless addicts, is that the destitute no longer have to break into cars, steal from stores, or beg for change on the side of the street, just to survive.

It sucks when an addict steals the catalytic converter off your car. They cost a pretty penny to replace! (~$3000) Meanwhile the addict is getting $50, maybe a couple hundred dollars for it? UBI means surviving until the next UBI check (be it monthly or weekly or hourly) allows you to spend it on whatever they need. Be it drugs or alcohol or food.

The Surprising Origins of the Famous Nike Swoosh
The last bit of your comment, regarding misdiagnosis, reminds me of a recent episode of Peter Attia’s podcast The Drive, wherein he interviews an experienced oncologist. Her opinion was strong in that we are overspending in treatment research and underspending in (early) diagnosis research. Her case, as described in the interview, made sense to me and gave me some hope that at least others could benefit in the future from such spending adjustments. But, I am sorry for what you’re going through, and that such a change has not yet taken place from which you/your partner would have benefitted.
The credit system in the US is already a pretty horrific version of this, and nobody really seems to care and it’s been like this for decades. And it’s not even just used for credit anymore, renting an apartment now usually requires a credit check.

I had thought credit karma and similar services were at least adding transparency to the industry but was recently in for a rude awakening when trying to get preapproval for our first mortgage. It turns out, the whole idea of a credit score is kind of a lie. Your credit report can be pulled by creditors, and creditors can interpret it in different ways as they see fit. Services like credit karma are just making up their own score based on the report which can be drastically different than what the creditor decides it is. And credit pulled for different uses somehow ends up with different scores, e.g. for a credit card approval your score will often show up higher than for a mortgage. You can check your credit report for free, as required by law, but nobody is required to tell you your credit score. You can also basically just pay to remove many things from your credit report.

It’s insane and the fact that this fairly old and low-tech institution has not managed to be regulated successfully or made fair to the average person, bodes very poorly IMO for regulation of privacy and fairness based on future technology.
