They moved away from SWIG and to PyBind11. As they mention, this is going to be an annoying transition for my custom out-of-tree modules. Overall though, I'm excited for the changes.

Lots of new GUI blocks in this release. I'm especially glad to see the new eye diagram.

Also the ability to load non-WAV audio files will be nice. OGG/Vorbis and FLAC are now supported. Plus a slew of minor conveniences such as a freq shift block and scaling options in the IShort to Complex block (useful for loading recorded samples from hardware).

If only it would compile easily on my Mac. (https://github.com/ktemkin/gnuradio-for-mac-without-macports has a prebuilt 3.8 version)

Instead we see how people go onto Facebook to get inseminated by strangers. People would literally rather be injected with somebody else's semen, go through 9 months of crazy hormones and multiple hours of the worst pain in their lives, than take care of an existing child.

If people did something to actually help children instead of voting for pro-surveillance laws or "against those people I don't like", maybe kids would get some help.

I think that says a lot about our society.
One important piece of context here is that these rates are negotiated as part of a contract bundle where an insurer is bringing a pool of patients to the facility. Prices can vary widely procedure to procedure because they are associated with over or under representation of certain factors within that pool. For example, grossly simplified, I might have a particular service line, hip replacements (an ortho program). The insurer whose patient population is going to 'keep the lights on' in that service line is going to see a very different rate per service than a different insurer who rarely has patients that need it. Nothing about these prices shown are really reflective of the costs of doing the procedure such as pricing in a retail store.

I do think this transparency initiative will result in more consistent costs but not necessarily net lower costs.

Comparisons to other countries that are smaller than the united states are somewhat apples to oranges. There are a lot of factors that are glossed over when someone says "costs are 5x higher in the US than my country" including real estate, energy subsidy, and so on. Its a deep well.

To be fair, sometimes you need bad practice to make things possible to do. Plaid takes your bank username and password to scrape pages because it’s the only choice to make the tech.

Flouting the rules is the basis for a lot of successful businesses.

Yeah, but it only supports a few languages. At least for me,
Google Translate does it because it supports lots of languages. Good luck translating a random Icelandic article, let alone expecting to get results comparable with Google Translate.

I wish there was more competition in this area though.
Elvis Got Americans to Accept the Polio Vaccine
One of the trickiest segfaults I tracked down:

We had this old and stable code that was writing and reading from some shared memory. One day out of the blue it started deadlocking and segfaulting, even with no recent changes to it.

It turned out to be an educational sequence of events:

- the library for daemonizing processes had a bug - it closed stdout but didn't open to /dev/null.

- our shared memory then got stdout's file number.

- independently, a shared library had some code that started writing to stdout... now our shared memory.

- so the logs clobbered the shared memory

Was hard to track down until I used xxd to look at the shared memory.

> I have never understood the US system of "co-pays" and found the whole thing very confusing.

I think you're mixing up a few things here. The co-pays are meant to make the patient directly pay some of the cost to decrease abuse of the system. There are many different structures for co-pays so saying anything general is kind of difficult, but there are reasonable arguments supporting such a system. In Sweden for example you do have to pay certain costs (which are capped) for essentially the same reason.

But that has nothing to do with the fact that prices vary so widely for the same products and services. Personally I think that the US system should at a minimum require that

1. All medical products' and services' costs to published publically;

2. All costs to be non-discriminatory (meaning everyone regardless of any insurance plan or none must pay the same);

3. All costs be available prior to any services provided.

In other words, there are no negotiated plans with different prices, there are no surprise bills, patients actually are able to understand costs, and real competition is actually theoretically possible. None of this would necessarily preclude an insurance plan from having co-pays, it would just make the only point of the insurance plan purely financial and open as it should be.

Of course the US could just move to a single-payer government-run system, but that's a different discussion. If the goal truly is to have a market-based system, then I think my points above should be implemented.
> rather than one where the reagents need to be coerced into reacting by providing external energy

being endothermic or exothermic and activation energy are orthogonal.

as a matter of fact, burning wood with air is exothermic, but you don't see thees spontaneously burning until some activation energy is provided.

heck, it's not even a given that all exothermic reaction are self sustaining, there's plenty that will go on producing small quantity of heat but will required external energy to sustain the reaction; sometimes it's even the same reaction but in a different environment with a different chemistry or average temperature.
Thank you for your comment!
Yes, but getting rid of a dummy plug is a whole separate project for each operating system, so I basically need to create three new repos on github and start development for that.

However I really feel there is a lack of low level programming languages knowledge such as C and Assembly from my side in order to write a code for Deskreen. It basically requires hacking knowledge and there should be patches for minor OS version updates.

This sounds like a tough task for me at the moment.
Is Google still as evil as it used to be? I have the feeling that a few GDPR fines later they take privacy more seriously, or at least a lot more seriously than the other evil AdTech (Facebook).

I don't want to defend Google, but I noticed:

- Google Drive is now paid (soon even for "low-quality" storage) a clear move away from ad-only revenue.

- Google has auto-delete and a clear privacy dashboard, which clearly shows what Google know about you.

- They have the option of disabling "creapy ads".

A few more GDPR fines, and I think Google will become as privacy-friendly as a SaaS can be. :)

The Abwehr
"The Abwehr (pronounced [ˈapveːɐ̯])[a] was the German military intelligence service for the Reichswehr and Wehrmacht from 1920 to 1944. Although the Treaty of Versailles totally prohibited the Germans from establishing an intelligence organization of their own, they formed an espionage group in 1920 within the Ministry of Defense, calling it the Abwehr. The initial purpose of the Abwehr was defense against foreign espionage—an organizational role which later evolved considerably. Under General Kurt von Schleicher the individual military services' intelligence units were combined and, in 1929, centralized under his Ministry of Defense, forming the foundation for the more commonly understood manifestation of the Abwehr."
Interestingly enough, HP had a computer named "Amigo". It was a stack-based architecture and many of its features moved on to the HP-3000 line. It had the same widescreen monochrome CRT that went in their intelligent terminals, with function keys on the right of the screen.

Yes...but he's not making the claim that "100% of foster kids who get (some small number of adults caring about them) will be successful", he's saying that "the minimum I've observed for foster kids to be successful is (some small number of adults caring about them)".

The latter claim is perfectly valid to make when 100% of survivors have trait X; you are correct in implying that it would be invalid to say having trait X will guarantee a survivor.

I use one of laptops laying around the house that wasn't used anymore, connected the TV via HDMI and bought a bluetooth keyboard with a built in track pad. The bluetooth keyboard works as my remote now, and it works very reliably - not just to stream content or play music, but its great to even do split screen, shop together/ look up something together while sitting on the couch, typing on the keyboard/using a trackpad is infinitely better than using the onscreen keyboards on smart TVs/roku etc.

This is an interesting idea. There certainly are pretty crisp modes in distribution. In a typical company backed project some devs will make and merge multiple PRs a month while outsiders will make a couple PRs in total out of which one or two get merged.
For example, an appendectomy (MSDRG 343) in my area will cost $56,000. With my insurance plan, that will max out my $8,000 deductible, + another $8,000 co-insurance to hit my out of pocket maximum of $16,000. That's what I'd pay, $16,000.

Or, I can go to Tennessee and get the appendectomy (MSDRG 343) for $4,700 and pay that directly.

Many people will make that choice Kaiser gets less business putting downward pressure on their pricing. And the folks in Tennessee might see they can raise their prices so that it starts to equalize to some point.

I don't know any courses personally. But highly recommend the book Badass by Kathy Sierra[1]. It won't necessarily tell you everything you need to know about product management. But it will tell you what you need to about really creating good product. Which is the core of the product management skill set.

Everything else that you build into the skill set will be built around this. So definitely worth starting with.

They're fine for home stuff, but take it from someone who used to be a small engine mechanic; they wouldn't last a week in a pro shop. that doesn't mean they aren't useful obviously for someone who uses them a couple times a year. I have some HF stuff as well but all my wood working stuff comes from name brand companies. Also China makes some good stuff, but you have to pay for it. I don't think they're building dams and airplanes with HF tools :) . I helped a friend on his motorcycle a couple of weeks ago and I was kind of shocked at how loose some of the HF wrenches were on bolts bordering on ready to strip them. I stopped and went home and got my set of old craftsman I got handed down and they fit much tighter. I would suggest getting some of the more "expensive" tool lines at HF if you're going to go down that alley for hand wrenches/screwdrivers.
> checks if the values are equal

Not the values (the values being equal doesn't break the trick), but the pointers. That is, if you use the XOR trick to swap a value with itself, then it will be set to zero, instead.

As if you had written:

x ^= x
x ^= x
x ^= x

Yeah, now x would be zero, not itself.
When I needed a similar non-emergency procedure (cervical, rather than lumbar, MRI), my neurosurgeon, at a large, university-affiliated hospital, referred me to the in-house radiology department.

Within a day or two, I received a phone call from some department at my health insurance provider telling me "Hey, we see that you are going to get an MRI; did you know that you can get the exact same procedure at providers A, B, and C, for a lot lower cost?" They did this even though the hospital's radiology department was in-network.

In this case, the cost difference was similar to what's noted here - about $4,000 vs $450. Since the insurance company was paying most of it, aside from my copay / share of cost, they were motivated to provide me a little transparency.

To be honest, as a patient, I would have preferred to get the MRI at the hospital; their facility was nicer, cleaner, more modern, and there was better data integration for getting the results to my neurosurgeon and keeping them as part of my holistic medical record. Nonetheless, I went to the cheaper provider.

There is also an issue of maintainability and spare parts. For example, the technology behind how phone screens work is broadly understood, leading to people being able to replace their phone screens if they are broken or no longer working. There is no such thing for Kindle or e-readers more generally, because a lot of this is hidden in patents. so if you're a consumer and want to purchase one, and it breaks somehow you're SOL.

You used to be able to get gsuite for free with your own personal domain. A lot of people, especially on HN are probably still grandfathered in on that for the free tier. Nowadays I think you have to pay for using a custom domain.
Probably due to the scale they're operating at. Maybe there were parts of things that didn't have such a vulnerability alone but did when put together. Maybe there isn't a clear owner of the code so no one felt responsible to find and patch such a thing. Maybe the entire system is too complex for one or even a small team of developers to grok so things can easily slip through the cracks from time to time.

Add also the medical equipment prices inflated by layers of distributors.
Increasing supply of doctors by increasing residency funding, decreasing education costs, and decreasing the sacrifice that needs to be made to become a registered doctor.

I have no idea why doctors need to sacrifice their entire 22 to 30 year old lives constantly slaving away, working on call, sometimes 24 hours at a time.

Relax some of the draconian, outdated hazing rules. Attract more smart people, make it so young people can have lives and become doctors.

That might address the cost of labor. The cost of medicine on the other hand is simple, the government should be funding research into medicines and then offering it for sale at basically the cost of production. Only other way is to reform patents and whatnot, but it seems easier to just do the research with the top tier research facilities the US already has via the higher education system.

There’s probably some other issues such as tort reform and medical equipment costs that need to be address too. But I think all prices can be brought down by increasing supply.
