> I don't know why this is such a challenge for the US work cohort.

> Your personal politics around parties, constitutional issues, housing, healthcare etc are irrelevant to the company

As someone who moved to the US: of course my opinions around healthcare are relevant to my company, because they provide my healthcare! It's an insanely stupid system in America, but it's the system that exists. Healthcare then bleeds over into things like marriage equality, because that can decide whether your loved ones get health coverage or not. And into maternity/paternity leave for the same reason, and because the federal government mandates no minimums for either, giving companies another wedge of power in personal lives.

That's why CEOs saying "politics" shouldn't get involved is tone deaf at the least. The CEO's politics are already involved in my life! If it was paired with the CEO campaigning for universal healthcare because they don't want to be involved in my personal life I'd give it at least some credit, but somehow it never does.

I disagree.

There's different ways of solving techy-techy stuff. One is to have 2 or less mega-platforms (e.g. iPhone/Android is a duopoly, Google & Facebook are monopolies) that are barely compatible.

The other is that the ecosystem is so open that competition is easy - e.g. email.

The fears of some lawmakers about "if we break up US companies, then Chinese alternatives will take over" are misguided. This is pretty easy to prevent by (1) mandating compatibility (e.g. all social media must be open / federated, all phones must support all app frameworks) or (2) simply banning "rogue" companies (e.g. Chinese or in general those linked with security agencies and/or totalitarian regimes).

In the long term, in particular (1) would IMO foster a lot of competition, and be hugely beneficial to consumers. In part because the market would be much more open - if some company wrongs you (sells/leaks your data?) you just move to another company.
In other countries, they negotiate prices at the country level.
It would be a wholly incomplete picture to think that such actions are happening organically. Whether antitrust is justified or not, ignoring the behind the scenes maneuvering will do a disservice to the discussion.

I think that there are Americans who don't feel like volunteering to pay money they don't have food drugs they need for that.
The real differentiation between west coast/{"non-traditional"|LCOL} areas seems to be around non-base compensation offerings.

I've got a friend who is a remote L6 solutions architect with AWS. His compensation is decidedly west coast: ~30% annual bonus and insane RSU grants, while his base is near or below mine. Stock offerings are atypical in the companies in many of these areas, and 30% bonus is unheard of for technical people.

So while LCOL areas may have better base comp, people expecting six figures worth of stock grants aren't going to bite.

What that means I'm not smart enough to know. :)

Yes, they are indeed created by ethical deficiencies. There is nothing in the way of the legislators to pass a law which says insulin and similar substances created to treat diabetes cannot cost more than 100$ a vial. The only thing in their way is their greed. Their greed for sweet lobbying money.

> What a customer-hostile thing to say, never working with you!

The point is that I'd rather just wave surprise fees than build a bunch of infrastructure to prevent them. From what we can tell, customers almost never have surprise bursts of traffic, but it's something they think about a lot. It's pretty easy to just say "you're not responsible for expenses associated with abuse or attacks or other nasty surprises".

The purpose of a metered service is to give people access to tools and features that would be prohibitively expensive otherwise. The trade off is that the expense also grows incrementally.
Does your data differentiate between:
- Naturalization vs native born?
- Multi-generation height changes?
- The differences in physical activities?
- Diet differences? I think East Asians tend to be lactose intolerant.

Once all things are made equal, then how does the data look?

This seems to be an artifact of the training error used by some AIs: in case a simple L2 loss is used, the AI will generate close to an average color (average over an "intrinsic" color distribution), which appears washed out.
You're talking about introducing another layer of complexity on top of an already Byzantine system. Price controls come with many issues, such as incentivizing lobbying & corruption, as well as dis-incentivizing market entry & long-term investment, resulting in a lack of capital expenditures which causes inefficient production.

Healthcare is complicated, and we need to simplify it as much as possible; this is a great example of a situation where we could use 'simple rules for a complex world'.[1]

Thank you for painting such a memorable picture. Too often we retreat to abstract intellectual arguments about what's right or how the world works. We have to remember that these decisions are about our wellbeing, as industry workers, consumers and the ecosystem as a whole.
It sounds like a good selling point but I don't think it works out that way. People dislike a lot of things about AWS and it's still something that almost every technical business spends money on.
Miscalculation? No. It's just drumming up support around a policy they think people broadly support (but actually don't care about). It'll be tough talk for a bit, and then representatives will quickly remember where those campaign contributions come from.
The Fuck – A Helpful Command Line Tool
I've seen bit flips reported in edac utils on a system with ECC memory. People routinely try to induce memory errors by overclocking their memory (to verify ECC is working). The triggering of bit flips is the very foundation of the Rowhammer attack (yes, I know Rowhammer can circumvent ECC with advanced techniques). Error correcting codes are used in networking environments, CPU caches, hard drives, anywhere but main memory.

Not sure why memory bit flips have the reputation of being such an edge case. It could be that it was an edge case 20 years ago, but it clearly isn't anymore. Computer memory has changed too.

It has to be either in equilibrium, or in excess on the side of plants. If it's in excess on the side of humans, people would be dying out due to lack of food, which would then put it back into equilibrium. Deforestation isn't relevant to food because we don't eat trees.

I’m afraid it doesn’t really work like that - even as a British Citizen you’d still need to be resident here. And if not, then becoming a resident would require a visa first - then yes you could get NHS care, but it would not be a timely procedure.

CMS, serve the content over http and the admin page over https.

And for sites with noncritical static content https is superfluous to dangerous. ESNI isn't implemented yet, IP addresses are still visible to the eyes. And content sizes and timing are a dead giveaway for the things you are looking at. HTTPS for everything is just a simulation of privacy at best, and misleading and dangerous at worst, because there IS NO PRIVACY in the aforementioned cases.

Currently we're focusing on touchpad gestures (i.e. multi-finger touch swipe or pinch) as the poll [1] made in June indicated that touchpad gestures was the most wanted feature.

There's plenty of work just implementing the basic handling of touchpad gestures, not even talking about any kind of polish. So at this moment we just assume that libinput handles touchpad gestures well and don't test at all. Once the basic parts are done we'll start polishing and this is when we'll test on as much hardware as possible.

It’s truly incredible... I really love Amazon, but how come don’t they pay any federal taxes for years on end and wage war on their own workers...

Do we really have to wait again for the regulation and antitrust authorities to put these guys in check... So many questions and thoughts.

I had a 40 day insurance lapse when I started my new job and it was $350 for a vial for me :( luckily I only needed to buy one, and it was enough to last me until the end of the period.

For a full year and a half before that, I had to go to the pharmacy every 20 days to pick up more insulin because my insurance didn't want to risk paying for medicine that I could still use after leaving my job / insurance.

The NHS doesn't offer free non-emergency healthcare to non-UK residents. In general, you would have to prove that you are a legal UK resident before you'd be admitted. Obviously, in an emergency they would treat you no matter what (but potentially send you a bill afterwards).

Looking at both, I like the BW version better. The updated version makes it look like any other 1 minute clip of a snow fight using a bad phone camera. It's an interesting exercise on how to use tech but ultimately it takes away from the original clip rather than adding to it.
It sounds like maybe osteopaths are something different overseas but in the US both a DO and MD degree are 99% the same now. There is a schedule for smoothing out the remaining differences and essentially they’ll become identical. The history of osteopathy as a branch of medicine is kooky, but a lot of mainstream allopathic medicine was just as kooky when osteopathy started too. Today I have absolutely no issues whether my doctor got a DO or MD and wouldn’t even know without looking at the initials after their name.

Chiropractors on the other hand are indeed completely dangerous quacks that routinely give people severe injuries. I know two people that have been disabled by chiropractors manipulating their necks and damaging the tissues and causes stenosis of the veins which has ruined their lives.

I'm not arguing that the pharmaceutical companies are 'good guys', just that the situation was created by the FDA. I think the simplest and safest solution is to reduce compliance costs (which are extremely high in the USA), and allow the new entrants (initially small companies) to rectify the situation. This is not an instantaneous fix, and I will admit that it is a bit unsatisfying, but it's a robust solution.

I think such features create really negative surprises too. People expect their app or service to keep working at almost any scale. Disabling an app that hits a threshold sounds terrible, because most peoples' apps _benefit_ from more (legit) activity and they are delighted to pay the extra fees if things just continue to work.

For people who are inexperienced or don't give it much thought, just waiving their overage fees creates a really nice experience. We've had multiple instances of people asking why their bill is so high and being relieved/excited when we explained it and made it go away. People love when we're responsive to problems.

That’s a very satisfying answer. I’m aware that the processes for logic, flash, and DRAM have some significant differences but I don’t know much more than “differences exist” (e.g. and therefore you have a different die for CPU and flash).

My reasoning is, at best, “SSDs have gotten cheaper, SSDs are kind of like RAM, shouldn’t RAM get cheaper?” and I know that’s not exactly an expert opinion.

Just saying - I have no horse in this race.
If you're posting comments like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24454454 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24153684 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24153612 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22618156, it's not really cool to diss the community for being "unpleasant, stuck up people" and "holier-than-thou attitude". That's actually one reason the site guidelines say "Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.": https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

After pondering it for years, I believe there are deep reasons why people arrive at anthropomorphized images of the community like this. We generalize based on what makes the strongest impression on us, and unfortunately what we dislike tends to make stronger impressions than what we feel good or neutral about: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...

The community that you think you're encountering is thus an afterimage of things you noticed and disliked because those burn more into the retina. (I don't mean 'you' personally; this is common.) It's your own creation, in the sense that the selection of inputs is determined by your own pre-existing opinions and feelings. This is how we end up feeling surrounded by demons in a place like this, when in reality it is just a large and diffuse population sample: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so.... People with different (let's call it) pre-existing conditions notice different things, make different generalizations, and construct different images.

The reason it gets so emotional is that our relationships with other people are the most intensely emotional part of our lives, and a large and diffuse set of social inputs provides all the data points one could possibly need to select from.

A lot of people experience HN painfully in this way. That's a pity, and I feel bad about it; I think the solution is for the community to get more accurate reflection about the dynamics that lead to these impressions. If enough people become aware of them, maybe the needle will shift some. I wrote about this at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23308098. In that case the context was about people feeling surrounded by social/political enemies rather than by unpleasant/stuck-up people, but the underlying dynamic seems the same.
Hrm, I think there are probably a lot of details and nuance and good arguments both ways. But this is just not the right moment, politically speaking, to be taking that on. Maybe in a year or two?

This article studies the number of storks in a country overall.
