It's not "just video calls". It's nonfree software belonging to a large for-profit company with huge power of developers over users. It will not end well. It's not the first time it happens. https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-even-more-impor...

If you think is rough, imagine how is for afroamericans and latinos when they interview at your company, and get trolled, dismissed and patronized by the white/asian interviewers, I'm sad you have to experience racism and getting trolled, is not ok. But this is just a very small example of what we have to deal in a day to day basis. I guess renaming `master` to `main` didn't solved the problem , ah?
Why would this occur in the us? The cia already had control over the media.
The "purpose" is to be able to trade one coin for another without having a trusted intermediary such as an exchange or escrow.
Similar things happen with real money all the time. Many players can hack, over charge, short, manipulate etc. It may be less obvious, or somehow perceived legit, but we are not really shielded from other players taking our invested money with all kinds of "financial tools" that are hard to understand. Ethereum is just more direct, more feasible
I agree. This book is excellent. It helped me understand D3 immensely and gave me the confidence to start making my own charts from my own data.
> For whatever reason, instead of localizing go jargon like the chess community has done, the Go community just uses native japanese terms for everything.

Uhhh... give this Japanese page a looksie: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/jp/8/docs/api/index.html

I think we got the better trade. Just my opinion though. Games which are more popular in the far-east will naturally use far-east terminology.

Similarly, things Americans do will get American-terms associated with them (IE: Programming Java). Its the nature of international trade. Even a Japanese-centric language, like Ruby, is largely composed of English terms to continue to appeal to the greater programming community. (Japanese programmers would learn "for" and "while" loops anyway, despite it being foreign terms).

Semaphores are "P" and "V" canonically meaning something in Dutch. Someone tried to explain it to me once, but you pretty much have to learn Dutch for the meaning of it all.

Anyway, its the nature of working internationally. Gotta learn tidbits of the other people's language to really understand something.
You think that's cheap? Singapore's total per capita health expenditure in 2017 was $2,619[1] per person per year, or $219 per month.

It's just about the lowest per capita health expenditure in the developed world.

Corporate monopolies can easily force one-sided contracts on users, but that's just a reflection of their market power. In a perfect world judges would rule them unenforceable, in our world corporations fund the people who appoint judges.
Stripe.js creates an iframe hosted by Stripe which sends the card information directly to Stripe. The merchant cannot see or intercept that card info, during or after transmission, and thus cannot send it to another processor (at least not using the same payment card input boxes).
That would start the discussion of "when does an example become the standard" which I don't really want to go into. Suffice it to say I do not watch the news, I very rarely visit Twitter and do not follow anyone, and that is the only way I have ever seen that expression used - in the news, on Medium, on FB, on anywhere, when I've come across it. "Agree with us or you are violent."

I don't think there's a generous way to interpret that expression. Silence is de facto not violence. Violence requires physical action.
The problem is that code runs between decode and render, and wherever possible the video data needs to stay on the GPU.
Is that number out of the total of insured people? Because I guarantee you there are a LOT of people that faced with that choice don’t get insurance.

How do refresh tokens work in the presence of concurrent requests from multiple tabs? I don't see how two tabs could synchronize their access in a way that won't lead to the possibility of one tab thinking it has been logged out. I guess you can try and paper of these issues with JS but without client side JS you are completely lost.
I'm evaluating fusionauth.io myself. It seems it would fit your requirements. It's not fully OSS though.

Yes, it uses a Newtonian formulation. Another physics engine (nphysics) I wrote before rapier, had a Lagrangian formulation of joints (using reduced-coordinates). This is something I intend to add to Rapier too at some points.
I pay $1200 a month for my family and don't even really get to use it for anything but routine checkups (which I still pay $30/ea for) until I hit my $5k deductible (and to another extent, the $8k out-of-pocket max).

A few times a year I spend an hour on the phone arguing about coverage or an incorrect billing code.

This is all for peace of mind that if I get hit by a car or fall off my roof that I won't instantly be ruined by debt.

In the event of one of those accidents I fully expect to have to fight the company I pay over $10k a year to actually provide that "I'm broke but at least I'm not bankrupt" coverage.

Oh also, we need a separate plan to insure our teeth for some reason and most plans only cover $1500 a year. I needed to get my wisdom teeth out and ended up splitting it over two years so I didn't have to pay the full uninsured price.

Our "liberal" presidential candidate is painted as "radical" by the current president, and said "radical liberal" has said on multiple occasions that "people love their insurance"

I've considered trying to move to another country simply because of healthcare. I am immediately skeptical of anyone who thinks this is a reasonable system.
Um,

> acceleratingily increasing

Acceleratingly increasing (without the "i") is already grammatical English with the desired meaning, right?

> unconsciousily habitually

"Unconsciously habitually"

> endearingily awkwardly

"Endearingly awkwardly"

Drop the "i"s and those are all grammatically correct. That's a rather low bar to clear though!
Why has it become so popular recently to shit on something because of who made it? Is this not just a poor ad hominem?
One benefit for me is that it's faster and easier to walk into my neighborhood bookstore and walk out with a good book that maybe I've already read a couple exerpts from right in the store (not some brief preview online), than doing my own legwork on book discovery and waiting for a shipment. I love my local bookstore, the people working there have great taste since they are literally professionals at this.
So I've had some limited involvement university fee structures and their health clinics. I actually had a conversation with the director of one about these plans. He explained:

* The university already has the clinic that is funded by student fees and a bit from the university general fund

* Uninsured students are seen for free and just pay for supplies used ($10 for a lab test, $5 for an xray, etc)

* They wave all copays for students with outside insurance

* For students on the student insurance plan, they are expected to use the clinic for general/minor needs. In these cases, the university agrees to eat the cost and not bill the insurer.

So all the insurance company is paying is major medical expenses for services not rendered by the school. Its just like large companies that have an on site clinic to save on their premiums.

So technically, it does end up costing the school a bit more if students buy the insurance through them because the school pays for all the supplies that they would normally be reimbursed for. If more student use the clinic, the university will end up having to expend their budget. But in comparison to how much money the university already bleeds, the clinic is a pretty minor cost. I think the whole clinic costs less to run than they pay their athletic director.

One interesting side note was regarding students that have outside insurance. Many times, they don't even bother billing the insurance if its just an office visit. Because medical billing is such a mess, they realized that it was actually costing them money to pay someone to deal with it when the insurance will only pay them ~$40 anyway. So they'll only bother if there are additional procedures and they expect a reimbursement >$100.
Plus, when you bring up any kind of comparison with the flu, no matter how nuanced you try to be, the general public just ignores all the nuance. Using the word "flu" anywhere near a COVID-19 discussion reinforces the "See, it's just the flu, bro" mentality that convinced vast swaths of people to downplay the disease.
This is fascinating. I never thought of writing a bot to watch the mempool for exploitable transactions. Perhaps in the future it will be more common to send your transactions privately to a miner instead of putting them in the mempool.
I have the feeling that there might actually be more "professional DeFi thought leaders" out there than people who have deployed something to Ethereum.
Hardware accelerated video decoding is a feature that is and has been critical for battery life on laptops for years.

ffmpeg has supported this for forever and yet firefox doesn't. It's bizarre.
That sounds fishy given the huge numbers of people covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and the VA.
> The same factors that made Zoom easy to adopt, make it equally easy to switch to something else.

Did you hear about network effect?
This is part of it, however there's positive price pressure from "anti-selection".

Basically healthy young students are more likely to already be insured or be on their parents plans so they opt-out more frequently.

Its also fascinating to note that US public spending on healthcare is greater than the UK, both in terms of absolute numbers and as share of GDP [0].

Top chess engines are atleast 700-800 points above top human. Engines have been absolutely unbeatable for humans for 10 years. Still I don't see the culture lost. In fact, it is easier for anyone to see mistakes after every match in less than a minute and you don't need a coach to point it for you.

The article seems to agree with you:

> the ideal squad count is no more than 12.
His numbers seem correct if you assume national-average housing costs, not Bay Area figures. Which is fair because the insurance cost does not vary much between locales.

Video of the same event from multiple angles will probably be safe for quite some time (timing and lighting mismatches

Video from a single source already has the issue that the person showing you the video can start and end the video at whatever time they want to.
I agree, sorry.
interesting -- i wasn't aware they were sticking that closely to the canon of the source material.

it seems like in the promotional trailers released so far, they're definitely leaving anything non-futuristic-looking in the background, and going hard on 80s action movie tropes. but hopefully there will be more variety in the actual game.

maybe we will get to see some real 1994 decor, even!

Most of the plans you can find on the school website's with some digging.

Some common gotcha's are low lifetime maximums and exceptions. Also, the the sickest students are most likely to drop out of school and lose their coverage.
You will often see people in France who have a @internet.provider address.

The law here is that once you have it, you can keep it when changing providers at no cost, they have to make it available to you.

I always found it weird, especially when you have so much choice of provider-free ones (less in France than in other countries but still)

The pandemic is a tragedy. The US federal government's response is a crime.

It's very much like Hurricane Katrina. The hurricane didn't kill thousands of New Orleanians. Almost all of them were alive after the hurricane had passed. It was the local and larger government's failure to handle it that led to such a widespread disaster.
The monthly cost for health insurance through using Cal Maritime ($627) is more than what I spent for health insurance for a single person via COBRA ($494.36) in California from 2018 - Spring 2019.
In reactive notebooks, the program state is still being completely described by the code you see - it's just that it doesn't have to be in top-down order! Instead of forcing you to manually define everything before use, a reactive notebook just looks at the references you make, forms a dependency graph, and then evaluates it in topological order (and, as optimization, only re-evaluates things that depend on the thing you've just changed).

This leads to a much nicer code organization, particularly when you're writing something resembling an interactive document (e.g. an "explorable explanation"). Much of the documents I do on ObservableHQ has roughly the following structure:

Title
Prose
Visualization
Interactive UI elements (possibly mixed
with further visualizations)

People are downvoting you, but this is actually a ridiculously common thing in games.

The entire game industry is pretty bad in general compared to tech or otherwise: one huge concept is that you have to "love the game"; you're willing to take low pay, low benefits, deal with overrun unpaid overtime hours, etc. because you "love the game". Most game companies freely tell you about how disposable you are because they have hordes of players, many willing to work for free.

Riot has serious problems with this. The C-level that was repeatedly reported (for years) for grabbing testicles, dryhumping employees or farting on them is still in their role and hasn't been removed - they were just suspended for a month or two and reinstated. The gender-discrimination forced new legal counsel just a few months ago due to possible collusion.
> If [large social media platform] doesn't want that kind of content, it's not unreasonable to simply make one to soak up that "ignored" market segment. Reddit can't shut you down for hosting your own internet forum for instance

This is true enough for Reddit. It's far less true of the Play Store, because the platform (controlled by the same people as the store) throws up scary warnings if you try to install any other store so that almost nobody uses them, and on the only other major phone platform third party stores are prohibited outright. Which means to get your users to follow you, you don't just have to get them to visit a different website, you have to get them to replace their phone with one from a different hardware vendor, switch operating systems, and replace all of their other apps -- if that's even possible for them.

And what when the only two platforms both do the same thing? It's obviously not feasible for an individual app developer to create their own phone platform and hardware and get everyone to switch to it.

sure, bigger wheels and tracks can get you some greater percentage of navigable land, but nowhere near 100%. most terrestrial animals uses legs and not wheels for a reason (and it's not because it's not evolutionarily possible).

but yes, bigger wheels and tracks probably cover a greater percentage of the commercially viable landscape.
Duo integrates into the latest Android like FaceTime integrates into iOS, it would be nice if Apple made FaceTime / iMessage available on Android (lol, never gonna happen) or allowed Duo to integrate into iOS like 3rd party apps can in Android (like WhatsApp video calling does). Probably the biggest feature I miss from Android since moving to iOS.

Apple is probably doing more harm than good at this point for themselves by keeping iMessage/FaceTime so locked down to their hardware since their revenue stream is trending more towards services and less weighted in hardware.
The author definitely seems to want to modify the adverb, but "distractedly quickly" is semantically still nonsense even if you use "ly" instead of the ungrammatical "ily". "Distractingly quickly" would be meaningful though ("I was distracted by how quickly he ate the mango"). I wonder if the author is just trolling here.
And "distractedly quickly" is perfectly cromulent casual English, even if not something you'd likely want in formal writing.
> Doesn't it use a upvote/downvote model like hn or reddit?

Is that really any different? If your print shop counts the user-submitted tallies on a chalkboard to decide which pamphlets to print, the print shop is still choosing to use that rule to decide what to print.
This is a good point, and also kind of an unintentional pun since enroll could refer to either enrolling in school or enrolling in the healthplan.

Some (many?) schools you are enrolled automatically to the healthcare plan unless you opt-out.
How many kids are missing how many minutes of education from their parents and teachers being unable to find any digital devices with the ability to access webconferencing services other than Zoom?

Periodically losing connectivity is an occupational hazard of doing things with webconferencing made worse if the people at each end aren't particularly computer literate. But I'm not sure Zoom lockin ranks high on the list of threats to kids' education right now.
Well, I think the actual problem is that there is no downward pressure at all for healthcare costs. And in fact all pressure is all upward, starting with the provider and the small network of sub-providers they represent. The complexity of billing allows the provider to "not know" what their own services cost! So anyone who complains is considered a cheapskate trying to skimp on their own health, or worse, on someone else's.

Its horrible. I had one billing department lady in the US literally tell me when I complained about the exorbitant cost of a simple ER visit (in the thousands), "Well, how much is your life worth?" After the steam stopped coming out of my ears, I was able to come back with: if that's your position, then why stop at 5k? Why not charge 50k? Or 500k? Why not take everything I have or will ever have? She didn't respond, and just looked at me thoughtfully, as if I'd just given her a really good idea.

Or neither dumb or evil, but just an expected result of the way group insurance works.

1. University: Has group of people they want to insure

2. Insurer: Measures risk of that group

You're either in the group or your not. Sick people drop out of school not because insurance is making them drop out, but because academics is hard to do when your health issue prevents you from doing so.

The people at fault are your representatives, who forgot about university group plans when drafting COBRA.
Yea! That's why we have a frontend SDK that solves for issues like these. Our SDK uses a library called browser-tabs-lock which provides locking across tabs (https://www.npmjs.com/package/browser-tabs-lock). So essentially, whenever a refresh call is made, we synchronise those requests.

This library is written by us to solve for the exact problem you mentioned! It's also being used by Auth0
Yes, they gave me different antacids and so far nothing has helped. I wish it was just like a regular acid reflux, but best way to describe it is as if there is a cloud of aerosolized acid being released from my esophagus 24/7 that is spreading and causing an non-stop burning sensation everywhere it gets inside my throat, mouth, nose, eyes and I think it is damaging my larynx. None of the usual advice seems to help. Days that I am feeling better I can eat an entire chocolatebar, mint tea, lay / sleep flat, everything I should not do and it does not get worse. Something I noticed though is that it disappears everytime I go on vacation and actually eat worse than usual (McDonald's etc.)

Ah. Okay Keychain isn’t so bad. I use 1Password more than keychain. Sharing history occasionally is annoying, but if just occasionally, not so bad. Thanks for the heads up and info.
I am still confused how Zoom ended up being used this much, especially by less technical people. The UI is not intuitive at all, the options are a mess, and the product doesn't even know what audience it's trying to cater for. Every other Zoom call I've been in someone is having a technical error or confusion (even technically-inclined people).

That considered, at least in principle, it shouldn't be that hard for a competitor.
Yeah, the author doesn't seem to recognize some adverbs when he sees them. I also agree that distractedly modifies the verb, not the other verb. What we're looking at is sequences that together modify the verb rather than using prepositions.

And why is it necessesary to change the derivational morphology when you could just write sequences or conjunctions of adverbs?
