> People act like "doctor knows best; don't question their wisdom; they have their secret sources of information and you need not concern yourself with that"... yet I as a patient would like to know about all the options on the table available to me so I can do my own research.

[edit] Nobody's making the case this information should be secret, just that it shouldn't be delivered directly to your face during episodes of Futurama. If you want to know what your options are by all means, pick up the pharmacopoeia.

I made this argument recently -- in Canada, DTC advertising of prescription drugs is illegal, too. Has been for years. There's a reason physicians go through years and years of medical training, and its not least to be able to identify and manage side-effects, drug interactions and perform appropriate diagnostics. You spending 30 seconds watching an ad are not ready to self-prescribe Skyrizi or Oxycontin.

Doing it wrong could lead to death, dependency, or in the case of self-prescribing antibiotics, community issues in the form of antibiotic resistance.

This is something you need to have a minimum basis of knowledge to interpret and understand, and pharma companies are taking advantage of a knowledge gap to push drugs circumventing the professionals. It's people who know more than you taking advantage of the fact you don't to make a buck.

The same argument could be made of drivers licenses, right? Well I know how to drive, so what business does a cop have telling me I need a license or to go to traffic school? The answer is simple: you can harm yourself or others if you don't know what you're doing, and the decision is made at the population level.

Plus we're dreadful at self-administering medicine. 75% of American adults take some form of multivitamin or supplement. Most supplements are useless or harmful [1] and multivitamins are associated with an increase in all-cause mortality [2,3].

Let's leave the medicine to the medical professionals, yeah?

Someone, we'll call them Bob, goes to all the trouble to build the binary, finds out that it doesn't match with what the app store is distributing then just shrugs their shoulders and uses it to connect with other users in a secure messaging network because their binary is correct?

Humans have being wearing clothes for about 170,000 years, indoors and outdoors, long enough for a evolutionary response. Along with fire, clothing is one of our great inventions and allows humans to live in colder climates than we could otherwise. We have, along with other creatures like lice, been evolving since we started wearing clothes.

But why do people get more sick in the winter, when they are forced into close proximity with other people, making illness easier to spread, rather than the summer, when people are outdoors more, and can do things like walk to work in the warm summer sun rather than take the bus in the cold winter rain and snow? Stated differently, we naturally do more social distancing in the summer.
> That's not how TikTok works, the feed is really good at tailoring to the stuff you actually like to watch

I think the author here is differentiating on the pool of available videos to show you. TikTok will show you anything (that fits your profile) from any user, which is markedly different from just showing you content from your social graph.

The holy grail of reproducible builds is achieving the same binary via different compilers. This was, at least when I started looking into reproducible builds, why I wanted to do it and why others wanted to do it. The other benefits are kind of side benefits.
As I understand it, the problem here has little to do with Google. The problem is that the transition to telehealth means that therapists are now competing directly with large national mental healthare providers like BetterHealth and Talkspace mentioned in the article. Those big companies have deeper advertising pockets.

If you want to break up companies to make it easier for independent therapists, those are the ones to break up. Google is just the marketplace.

This is like blaming the sidewalk or the interstate highway system when Wal-Mart causes your local mom and pop store to shut down. Google isn't driving her prices up, competition is.
I have noticed some marketers have tried to fix chat bubble blindness by also adding animated popup messaging and sound effects to your chat bubbles. You can tell that consumers like it, because it drives up the interaction rate.

I'd be interested in seeing an A/B/C test between a basic bubble, a noisy bubble, and the text link demonstrated in the linked article.
There seems to be a lot to unpack, so sorry if this is jumping around but I tried to provide lots of details.

My wife has worked at those places and the difference in patient outcomes is night and day. Sure some people will get better regardless, but there's something special about people saying a 3 year old injury has 0/10 pain. At a big name company, they get people "good enough".

She's one of those people that would prefer to be a Physical Therapist rather than a business owner.

As a side note, many of her patients came from that 60$/hr insurance because most places don't accept it. It seems like it's a stepping stone. Knowing her, they will be grandfathered in.

Something I didn't mention is how often she does free work/eat the cost because insurance will deny payment for services that were approved but later deemed "not necessary". (Despite the person being unable to work) It's complicated because a phone call, or Physician, or patient can sometimes fix this.
Let's say you're looking for a job, want to build your profile, want to know what skills are in demand, could use some side money, etc.

Building your own job board covers lots of different bases (possibly):

1) It's a good technical exercise and is a legitimate project you can point to during a job interview process and say "I built that".

2) It will give you first-hand exposure to available jobs on the market and / or what skills are in demand.

3) If it works out it could turn into an income producing project.

Basic function stacking - one project that potentially serves multiple purposes.

There's certainly a chance it won't work out. But for some I'm sure it does and has.
It’s the difference between the engineer’s approach and a mathematician’s one. (Physicists, they just write FORTRAN.) To be fair, design patterns were quite explicitly introduced as ”these are things OO people seem to reinvent and converge on, so seemed worth documenting.”
I do both since they exist, in no way is .NET GC able to handle multi-TB heaps with ms pauses.

What helps .NET is the design since the early days to support value types and the introduction of Midori learnings into C# 7 and later for low level programming.
You can also use the Real-Time Specification for Java (RTSJ). Essentially it allows you to do all your memory allocation, then shut off the GC.

When my internal network connects, via any non-NATed means, to a vendor’s internal network, there is a chance that my addresses conflict with theirs. If the vendors have even a few tens of clients, this risk is quite high.

It’s fine if you don’t want animations, your opinion is valid if you don’t like them, but you’re conflating a design choice with the idea of a “response”. You can’t disagree with the fact that the arrow buttons on the site are the complete response. It makes no sense to say that, because those buttons do nothing else; their single solitary function is to trigger an animated scroll, and once the animation is done playing, there is nothing else involved in the “response”.

Yes, the length of animation is a design choice, and is in that sense avoidable — precisely because the length of time the animation plays was a conscious intent. What you’re talking about is not related to what Doherty’s paper was talking about.
I'm coming around to the idea that people who are impressed by "results" like this are NPCs who probably could be replaced by GPT-3.
Did you look in the CI system for configurations there? I see FDO enabled in those tests. (Speaking at a high level, configurations can be modified in bazelrc and with flags without being explicitly listed in the cc_test rule itself)

They’re single use doses. These are often used by doctors to treat severe deficiency, e.g. weekly 50,000 UI.

It is plausible that in an ICU situation with limited time a single, even larger dose makes sense. For an individual not critically ill, more gradual daily boosting of vitamin D is possible. The ICU patients didn’t have this time.
I respectfully don't really understand your point, you think there's a conspiracy to publicly falsify evidence and influence the public? That would have caused immediate problems at trial if each company made such bold false statements and would have been a blessing for Levandowski's legal team. Also, not sure how or why you would 'google' anything to verify news if your bar is so high and you're not willing to spend more than a minute researching.

This is a very interesting point, thank you!

I wonder though if another issue is at play: in the past both well-informed and random folks would mostly have "swayable" opinions (mostly certain, but leave room for a doubt; thus open to arguments and possibly a change of opinion), currently most opinions seem to have a religious hardness to them. This makes science less influential -- people tend to put a lot of spin on key findings to avoid changing their views.

This is judging by newspapers and magazines of 50 years ago and talking to older generations; not sure how objective this is.
You can only help 40 people per week without cutting down on the care. Another benefit for private pay is that you don't have to spend time on insurances or calling physicians for a prescription.

I talk a big game about raising prices but I know my wife has done free services for disabled children. She's a sucker, and we claim it's advertising/marketing.

I don't remember where I read it (sorry), but I recall that "The Timeless Way of Building" and "A Pattern Language" were supposed to be, or were conceived as, one book. But it would've been way too long, so it was split up. Generally, I think you're right: "TTWoB" is sort of the set up to "APL", motivating why "APL" is useful, and telling you how to use it. I remember I used to be more drawn to "APL" because you can just open it up anywhere, and since the patterns are so short, you just read a little bit and get inspired. It's bite-sized fun! But when I finally read "The Timeless Way of Building", things really clicked. "APL" is really illuminated by digesting "TTWoB" first. (I also think "APL" is more useful read cover to cover, though nothing wrong with taking some bite-sized inspiration once in a while :) )

So, I guess, besides just agreeing with you, sort of also saying, keep reading "TTWoB", soak it up, then you'll be primed for "APL". It's such a fun journey! (If you can't tell, I'm a big admirer of Christopher Alexander :) )

I'm happy to see stuff like this.

I'd be even happier if the tricks to get video to play were somehow canceled.

I have adblocker and video blockers, but somehow, news sites have a video that plays. If I scroll off the page, the video pops out into the lower right hand of the page and resumes playing, even if the big version of the video at the top of the page was stopped /paused (which it is by default), and it needs to be stopped again. On mobile (Android) this is a double nightmare, even in Firefox, because the little video has a tiny little X, and somehow my finger doesn't ever hit X the first time. I can plug in a USB-A connector in the right way faster than I can press that little X.

Is there an explanation for this, and am I the only one?

Research team solves experimental puzzle in high temperature superconductivity
If you look at the reactors that were completed 30 years ago, it looks like there are some affordable, safe, predictably-built reactors among them. But when you look at all the reactors that were under construction in the years prior to that, you will find that a lot of them were also late, over budget, and/or never completed. Even in the 1980s there was a large variation in cost and schedule between reactor projects. Some of the projects -- in hindsight -- were plagued by bad reactor designs. In other cases there's nothing obviously better/worse about the design-on-paper, but there was a significant difference in the quality of project management and execution.

You can't examine the differences in project management and execution while the project is still on paper. You have to commit years and billions of dollars to determine if a project is going to adhere to the original plan or blow out on time and/or money.

Right now South Korea has the best track record of rapidly, affordably building reactors. Some American nuclear proponents think that we should just have South Koreans build Korean reactor designs here, to bypass the apparently irremediable problems in the domestic nuclear industry.

But even the smooth progress of South Korean reactor builders is not assured when they are building outside of Korea.

The Barakah Nuclear Power Plant, built by Koreans with Korean reactors, just powered up its first reactor days ago.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barakah_nuclear_power_plant

The timeline from construction start to operation was originally 5 years. It has actually taken 8 years. It's 60% over the time originally scheduled, even though it is using a standard reactor design built by the most competent reactor builders currently available.

Launch HN: Trace – simplify purchasing and budgets for your business
Hi, I'm Mike, one of the founders of Trace.

We built Trace for anyone who's had to make a purchase or manage a budget at a business. If that's you, you're likely familiar with budget requests, vendor reviews, contract policies, BvA meetings, and for those truly unfortunate, POs. No, your Finance team doesn't hate you, they're just dealing with old-school finance technology like planning systems, Excel, and ERPs. I know first-hand as a former VP of Finance at a 1,500+ employee business.

Along with my co-founders Martin Destagnol and Matt Gonzalez, we set out to shield people from complex financial systems and make working with Finance simple.

Trace is the first Budget-to-Pay platform providing smart and collaborative financial operations and analytics. With Trace, teams can manage their budgets, make purchases, and track their performance. Trace is for early Procurement teams and advanced FP&A and Accounting teams ready to automate their work and delight their budget-owners and purchasers.

Here are some of the things Trace provides:

• A purchase experience that guides buyers with a single flow – orchestrating teams and integrating systems for budget requests, security and contract reviews, and purchase orders.

• Lightning-fast analytics that connects your ERP and budget data – so your analysts can navigate from summary level dashboards to granular purchase and contract information in an instant.

• Onboard new vendors, track key contract terms, and automate spend management processes, audits, and analysis.

Our team is relentless in our common pursuit to make Finance simple and we do this to improve the financial health of all businesses so their people can thrive. Our mission is now more important than ever.

We'd love to hear from you:

If they were to actually test "chat bubble blindness", you have to replace the bubble icon with the text at roughly the same position and compare. They didn't do that. Rather, they moved the chat to more prominent position - at the top of the page near the center, with bigger space, etc. So of course it increases the engagement.

More important question is if they are getting spurious extra engagement (i.e. more chat traffic eventually costs more money), or they are getting the engagement they want.

Again, we may value that, we may not.
