I really wished the US would have addressed the high-costs of healthcare versus trying to get everyone insurance. The cycle will continue and it feeds this pattern of poor behavior by hospitals. Same thing with education. There's too many "admins" in the mix.
We'll, if we're using that type of definition of capitalism then we really don't want to compare it to that type of definition of any other competing system.
Well, I was hoping for less than 93GiB compressed, given that this exceeds the storage capacity of several devices I'd like to use it on and I'd estimate the total amount of info I care about to be far smaller than that. And small is beautiful: if everything fits into ram, you can do various interesting data munging tasks on the data (which is after all not uninteresting) very quickly.
I remember the inherited DEC team split, causing the Intel development to stall.

Honestly? Depends on the apocalypse.

Imagine a climate change apocalypse rather than the nuclear wasteland of Fallout or Mad Max.

Let the sea levels rise enough to displace everyone who is within 30 feet of sea level, add in some famines (also brought on by climate change) and since it's the theme this year, a plague or two exacerbated by a billion climate refugees in camps and slums being ignored by anyone still prosperous.

You could end up in a situation fairly apocalyptic, but still have the scavenged resources to assemble an internet, assuming there wasn't some sort of anti-tech uprising among the survivors, angry at technology for causing the disaster and determined to smash any surviving technology (and technologists) to prevent it from happening again.
You are either acquired a hero or live long enough to become the acquiring villain.
Anyone know how they're implementing the multiplayer video/voice chat? Is it over WebRTC or something else?
That makes it a less useful statistic for talking about problems around unemployment. I think that's why the BLS has so many different measures of unemployment.

If I had enough money in the bank to live the rest of my life comfortably, there's no way I'd be employed.

Yes, but that "subset" is huge.

>Algorithm changes are always going to produce winners and losers.

The implementers have control of the algorithm. If you choose to go a certain way, then that means you are accepting the output. Why should anyone be able to hide behind "it's just an algorithm change."

Now I understand that many of these machine learning algorithms lead to unpredictable and unexpected results. But again, they have found these risks acceptable by continuing to use them anyway.

There should never be any hiding behind "its the algorithm, not us." You are responsible for your algorithms, whether you understand it or not.

The thing I don't understand is why they continue trying these stupid algorithms. What value is there in them? It's very rare for me to encounter one of these things and go "yes, this is exactly what I wanted." More likely, they get in the way of what I want to do. Maybe I'm an outlier, but I really wish as a profession, we'd be much more frank regarding the actual results of these things.
Do you mean as of right now, or at the time you posted?
> Why should any of these people be considered "unemployed"?

Because we're actually trying to count "people who would be employed, were there more jobs available"

But as we can't read people's minds, we can't tell the person who's happily retired at 58 from someone the same age who'd rather be in work but can't find it, and has started drawing their pension out of necessity.
How do you plan to handle players that others don't like? That's a fairly common problem for TTRPGs. You'll see a question every other day on rpg stack exchange about a troublesome player. Off the top of my head

* Players who don't play fairly

* Players who are rude

* Players who break game norms, like always wanting to detract from what the group wants to do ("It's what my character would do in this situation")

* Players who role play too hard in boring ways (e.g. overly philosophical debaters)

* Players who are overtly sexual

* Players who make off color jokes

* Players who aren't engaged enough

* Players who are selfish or antagonistic

* Players who others cannot understand due to language / accents

* Players who are racist/sexist/make unwanted advances irl
I think parent comment's concern about Nvidia is with respect to AI. Nobody wants a GTX 1660 for that kind of work, the high end GPU supply is the only part that matters.

Like the sibling commenter, I find your post very suspect, mainly because (in the US at least) if you are a non-disabled person without children between the ages of 20 and 55 it is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to get enough gov't benefits to survive (at least outside of covid-times)

They do have a measure that also reflects underemployment. The broadest measure is called U-6, "Total unemployed, plus all persons marginally attached to the labor force, plus total employed part time for economic reasons, as a percent of the civilian labor force plus all persons marginally attached to the labor force." That also include the U-5, "discouraged workers, a subset of the marginally attached, have given a job-market related reason for not currently looking for work."

The measures are available, and they're usually in the vicinity of twice the regularly-reported (U-3) rate.

No.

I'm dutch, I live in the center of a big city that is extremely bike friendly. At the same time, people are surprised I don't own a car, and I've been considering getting one.

We don't need a car here for most things. But it is still extremely convenient to have one.

Move out of the bigger cities, and things change even more. Bikes are popular, and often used. But very rarely are bikes and public transport able to replace a car. I'd guess like 10% of people go without a car because they don't need it. At the same time, I think almost everyone here will own a bike for just general purpose.

> Go’s simplicity tends to be brought [...] mostly by those who weren’t yet woken up by a page that required them to quickly read, debug and fix things. Or even jump into another team’s codebase to do the same thing. Last thing on your mind then is the type safety and elegance of a language.

Actually, type safety can be quite useful in such a context: it allows the person who designed the types in use to enforce certain restrictions on the developer who is hurriedly adding code to an unfamiliar codebase, thus reducing the requirement for that developer to understand larger issues in the system.
I keep seeing this theme on HN that more money = better. That is not always the case. Now she is working 1 on 1 and not trying to work on multiple people at once. Not everyone is chasing a dollar. I sell chicken eggs for no profit but I like the chickens around and I get some eggs. But the egg farmer charging 5$ actually makes some profit. So if the clinic only makes 150-200k but brings happiness to them that is way more important then money in my opinion.
I don't know enough about Zig's build system, or Jai's, to be able to talk about their approach intelligently.

America is the world power least worried about physical geography and locations if and when the shooting starts. 2 oceans as moats, plenty of oil and natural resources on its home turf, and all potential flashpoints on the other side of the world. I'm sure America would love to give WW2 another run, especially considering how last time it shook them out of the great depression and devastated everyone else's industrial base.
Non-profit hospitals still charge normal people insane prices for nothing. Non profit does not insulate us from predatory practices.

Hospitals want to grow and want to stay solvent (regardless if they're for or non-profit). $400 Ibuprofen it is!

Price transparency is one solution for this.
Python has Tk bindings in the standard library at least, which are usable if you just want "an GUI" quickly.
Again that is a very US-centric view. You don't pay 25,000$ a year for attending a university in Europe.
It's a very good question. It's why M4A was always a pragmatic centrist compromise, when really to get maximum efficiency you need an NHS. It's weird that Romneycare ended up playing the part of the radical communist bugabear for the right as premiums skyrocket and more profits are being made than ever. VA hospitals for all would be the real lefty dream.

80% of their billing was from Medicare and Medicaid.

Part of the blame here lies with the governance of those institutions to continue paying claims to this provider.

No matter what else the hospital leadership did, if they had had those dollars pulled, this problem would have been corrected much sooner.
!! Thanks so much!
I've always told people interested in startup to "start a project, not a company." I haven't been able to verbalize why yet until this:

But there is another more sinister reason people dismiss new ideas. If you try something ambitious, many of those around you will hope, consciously or unconsciously, that you'll fail. They worry that if you try something ambitious and succeed, it will put you above them. In some countries this is not just an individual failing but part of the national culture.

Techniques I Use to Manage Stress as a Software Engineer
One of the core anti-capitalist aspects of hospitals are the guaranteed monopolies that many states grant hospitals, in the form of certificates of need. Searching for that term in the article resulted in 0 hits. Not sure how you can discuss this phenomenon without at least mentioning the guaranteed monopoly aspect.

CONs are what are really backing the loans that would otherwise be very unlikely to be available and are what made hospital acquisitions of the type discussed "profitable".

I was involved as representing a large vendor and investor in the hospital that was stiffed by a smaller version of one of these hospital pillagings and got a terrifying inside look at how these deals go down.

I've read there are positive effects of CONs and realize my experience was very limited.

I'm not sure were it would be on a timeline compared to Encarta, but I'd add the hay days of Flash on the web to that. Much like you describe there was such a sense of fun in those days. Flash had enough abstraction and was simple enough for anyone to create weird animations and sites with interesting interactions.

The website feels like a stale medium today. I guess it's just too important to mess with nowadays. Pragmatism and familiarity rule supreme.

PS. I'm sure I'm biased because nostalgia. Flash web was a nightmare in many (most?) respects.

I don't use a screen reader and it drives me mad seeing text posted as an image. To me it just helps prove that the whole idea of arbitrary character limits is incredibly stupid. Unfortunately the short content is good for getting people lots of quick dopamine hits which is great for both Twitter and all the brands and celebrities that post there.
I agree, the structure of the argument in the Axios piece is misguided: BLS produces U6, and the journalists don't talk about it, so the BLS is doing something wrong (says journalist).

The idea of a national living wage is ridiculous, given the vast disparities in the cost of living.
Google definitely needs anti-trust scrutiny, but I find the timing suspicious. It smells like a politically-motivated hit job, especially since Facebook didn't get a suit as well.
New Cadence Transient EM Simulation Tools: 3D Clarity
The Boston-DC corridor is extraordinarily wealthy. Wisconsin is now the poorest state in the upper midwest. No one told our corrupt politicians that yes you can do boondoggles, but you shouldn't do rich man boondoggles. We're not rich, and we tried to play like a big shot state, and sit at the high stakes table. Well, now the bill is becoming clear, we're out about $1 billion so far, and people are starting to complain. The time to complain was when we first saw, now ex-, governor Walker go sit down at the big shot table. We should have snatched him back right at that point. We let him make a horrible deal, rife with corrupt payouts to his cronies, on our behalf. That was dumb of us.

It's a lesson for other poor states. If you're poor, you're probably corrupt, but come Hell or high water, you cannot allow your corrupt politicians to get you in too deep. It's your taxes that will end up paying both the bills they incur, as well as the pensions they get when they leave office.

It should be noted that this was not an accident, but the result of a concerted effort by corporate interests with major influence in state and federal gov't via professional connections and their control of the labor market. This not only involved the dismantling of existing, car-agnostic infrastructure - clearly, as most major American cities existed and were designed to provide for the needs of its residents before the existence of the automobile - but also represented yet another chapter in the history of collusion between private and gov't entities in the interest of maintaining America's toxic race and class order.

From the whitepaper:

"Furthermore, LISEP calculates the “True Rate of UnemploymentOut ofPopulation”, using the same statistical definition of True Rate of Employment, but instead taking this number from the entire working-age population (aged 16+) rather than the BLS-defined labor force."

So am I right that this includes retirees, college students, kids still in high school, stay-at-home parents, etc? Doesn't seem super useful.
Somehow, Scott Hanselman's blog theme looks as though it was designed by the person who made Encarta's desktop icon.
The post is titled "America's True Unemployment Rate," so it does make sense in this case to assume were talking about USA. I certainly was in my comment above.

You go after Google first, because they have had such dominance the longest. Anybody else would just argue "What about Google?"

As friendly as Facebook has been to the republican party, it doesn't surprise me that they aren't first in line to be prosecuted, if ever.
I do wonder how this will be played out. I cannot see a negative outcome for Google, even if there is one, will it trigger a domino effect among other monopolies (Apple, Facebook, etc.).

As someone with lots of Rust experience I agree with the author. Rust has more concepts that users need to learn. It's not gratuitous/accidental complexity. Each of these features is IMHO pretty well designed and useful, but nevertheless Rust does have a larger toolbox.

It's not necessarily bad. Do you prefer to put more effort into your program before it compiles, or debug it after it's up an running? Do you want a static guarantee, or do you trust yourself to get it right? These are fair trade-offs.
Does anybody have interesting, practical, examples of the consequences of switching to a PEG parser?
