Probably some of it but I suspect the lack of limitations on services rendered plays into it as well. If someone in the US wants to see specialists 50 times in a month due to munchausens then they'll just be charged their co-pay each time (in most insurance plans). In Germany I suspect they'd not be allowed to book appointments anymore or would require a gatekeeping referral. Same with expensive drugs that don't help outcomes but are advertised to patients and doctors.
So I fasted 3 days about 3 weeks ago (after Christmas) ok my spouse thought I was insane but I overate so much that I had the need to swing the pendulum in the other direction - after this 3 days I ate a Pizza - no cramps; nothing; just operated as usual.
So I am not so sure about the whole story...

MINIX is actually on a different processor, in Platform Controller Hub. And there are three things you need to know about it:

1. It runs with highest privilege, so it has access to the whole system but you can't access it.

2. Its always running, even when your device is switched off.

3. It has a web server, complete with its own MAC address. There is no discernible way of cutting off its access. (I could be wrong on this one.)

Edit: This is also this open letter[0] from Tanenbaum after he discovered MINIX was being used in Intel ME.

Almost everyone benefits from universal coverage but the system has to incentivize patients to shop around for the optimal balance of price, quality, and convenience.

Universal coverage does not need to incentivise shopping around in a single payer system. Also, the majority of patients are not capable of evaluating quality of healthcare, nor should they be.
React Hook Form Handling Basics: Uncontrolled and Controlled Components
I’ve not been following this story very closely, but the efforts the state is making seem way overboard for what this woman is being accused of doing.

I think banning someone from the internet is rapidly approaching “cruel and unusual”. I don’t think people understand how critical web access is to typical life in the US these days. I don’t mean casual surfing either. News, jobs, contact information.
The trouble is when people conflate “free speech” with “absolute prohibition on any societal, cultural, or personal means of making any value judgment about any speech, as well as any mechanism whatsoever to encourage any type of speech and discourage any other type of speech.” It’s this “speech agnosticism” version of “free speech” that worries me.

When I make buying decisions, I often struggle with exactly that: I have no way of telling what is "good" or "bad" quality, and I have to much experience with expensive stuff being repackaged cheap crap, so I end up buying cheap crap more often than I should.

One thing I really hate are discounts.

"only people who have 'beach bodies' are those as skinny as that model."

But that's true isn't it? A beach body = someone who is skinny or has abs. This is how we humans view healthy people.

It's something to aspire to if that's your thing.

Personally when I see images of fit, well-toned men, it reminds me that I need to do more exercise. I don't agree that such images should be removed because not everyone can achieve those things.

Julia has a bit of a Lisp's Curse
http://winestockwebdesign.com/Essays/Lisp_Curse.html
Writing a performant and easy to use data wrangling library for R is a bunch of work and means dealing with C/C++ etc.
So few people are willing to do so, and just contribute to a small number of libraries like dplyr.
(I feel like there are at least 2 other major compeditors to that in R?)
Where as in julia it's really easy to write a new data wrangling library.
Its just not that much work. So people:
A) do it for just fun / student projects (None of those ones are though).
B) do it because they have a nontrivially resolvable opinion (e.g. Queryverse has a marginally more performant but marginally harder to use system for missing data)

Nice thing about julia, especially for tabular data (thanks to Tables.jl), is everything works together.
It's actually completely possible to mix and match all of those libraries in a single data processing pipeline.
Which while is generally a weird thing to do, it does mean if you have a external package uses any of them it works into a pipeline of another.
(One common case is that queryverse has CSVFiles.jl, but CSV.jl actually is generally faster, and you can just swap one for ther other, inside a Query.jl pipeline)

I absolutely argee this makes learning harder.

---

Also that particular example:

> "I need pipes to help me wrangle data more efficiently do I use Base Julia, Chain.jl, Pipe.jl, or Lazy.jl?"

It's piping.
Something would have to massively be screwed up if any of those options were more or less efficient than the others.
The only question is what semantics do you want.
Each is pretty opinionated about how piping should look.
Why this was downvoted? It would be nice get even some clue why this is happening so often on totally trite statement of facts.

I don't think anyone would disagree that a better home environment is fundamental. But do you think that, in general, the longer sentences and higher rates of incarceration (especially for non-violent crime) in the US compared with other developed nations are beneficial?

Publishing names and mugshots of arrestees prior to convictions, the existence of the sex offender registry, rampant human rights abuses in prisons, loss of voting rights for felons, and the explicit allowance of slavery as punishment do not make it seem like the US "justice system" even approximates the humanist notion of justice that other developed nations apparently aim for.

Perhaps you could being by asking yourself why a "central authority" is inherently more wise and capable of deciding what people are allowed to think and say than individuals themselves? Does the ability to seize power and become the central authority denote inherent wisdom or morality? History is littered with examples of societies where communications were overseen by a central authority, from Nazi Germany to the Soviet Union. The freedom to think and speak freely is dangerous - like all freedom. But before you reject the concept of freedom you ought to consider what the alternative is.

You have no position to negotiate and I have never got them to budge. I have tried and gotten pretty angry about it.

Short-term insurance is a waste of money because the rates did not appear to be negotiated at all. They paid 5% of the bill and stuck me with the rest.

The only reason to actually pay your bills is the hospital might eventually sue you.
Its messed up.

A Story About Magic
What about traits or multiple inheritance?
I was watching Legal Eagle discussing if Trump incited the mob / insurrection https://youtu.be/XwqAInN9HWI and he goes over some previous cases of “incitement of violence” and it’s crazy how high the bar is.

On the other hand, tech companies can very quickly take down illegal content, like child pornography or people singing Happy Birthday. I do think they have the technical chops + content moderators to at least try to curb some of the more inflammatory posts.

But, it’s not illegal. So they won’t do it, in fact, they’ll profit like Facebook matching body armor ads to groups of people plotting to hang the Vice President. The solution might be to lax the definition of imminent threat, or consider that someone with millions of followers is basically planning acts of violence with a retweet. The fact that people think “it’s just a retweet” means you have zero responsibility and accountability for influencing millions of people shows how we are not prepared technological changes.

I can’t talk you out of it because I am very confused and conflicted. I think I know what needs change, and even how, but not change to what.

The poster is sarcastically pointing out the fact that a lot of our current SETI searching revolves around assumptions like "extraterrestrial life will have the same chemical basis as Earth life does". Like needing oxygen.
This is really nice boiled down to the very essentials. I am now tempted to write a Python clone and see how much different it turns out to be in terms of code and complexity while only relying on stdlib.
Apart from the other tips given, in particular proper technique:

Try doing a few meals in a row with similar ingredients and chop once for like the next 2-3 days (depending on what's being chopped).

Also you can try timing yourself. See how long it takes to chop an onion, record it. Now you know the REAL prep time for a recipe based on it's ingredients.

What really saves time is having an idea what order you're going to do things and how to parallelize tasks, but for that you need to have some intuition about time so you don't accidently burn something. There's a recipe I make that takes twice as long if strictly prepped first then cooked.

Also, just going to state the obvious, but if you're cooking for more than two people, it's just always much harder.
Prosecutors had argued that Jones had illegally accessed systems to send a public health message through a state alert system. But there does not appear to be evidence that this happened.

Instead, they have collected evidence that she allegedly downloaded some data from the state with peoples' information on it. It's not clear how good their evidence is, but this is pretty different than what they alleged earlier, and different than what the warrant was for, so it looks like Florida prosecutors are fishing for any sort of crime they can stick to her.

Jones says she had been asked to manipulate COVID data as part of her responsibility of running the FL COVID dashboard, which she refused to do. When she was fired, she started her own dashboard, and criticized the integrity of official dashboard data, which upset officials.
I have never anticipated a medical procedure, emergency or otherwise, and considered "my ability to sue for malpractice if this goes wrong". I just don't believe this is a consideration for the actual patient, even if it was relevant (example: Canada with universal public system essentially has no malpractice lawsuits).
Maybe we can fix this! Email at profile :)

Most space programs are just taking military dick measuring contests to a new level. I find it hard to get invested because of this. We deserve an international space coalition that pursues open scientific and civilian goals, not this.

Suggestion: I hope I didn't completely miss something, but the site seems to put average prices for procedures all over the place when the median price would actually be much more informative to somebody searching for a provider.

> This makes no sense. "Strong norms in favor of marriage and strong taboos against divorce" do not fix these issues.

Kids end up in foster care for many reasons, and its not necessarily because their parents are violent and abusive. The ubiquity of single parenthood, for example, dramatically increases the risk that a child will end up in foster care if anything happens to the remaining parent. Likewise, in a society where divorce and single parenthood are ubiquitous, other members of the family are much less likely to be in a position to take in a child when something happens to his or her parents.

I'm not suggesting we do away with social workers who can check in on kids in abusive situations. To the contrary, if social workers weren't overwhelmed taking care of a large number of kids who are in challenging circumstances simply because their dad doesn't feel like being a dad, or for other mundane, solvable reasons, they would have far more attention and resources to devote to kids suffering from alcoholism, physical and sexual abuse, etc., in their families.
I found this to be an interesting read in light of recent news [1].

[1] Professor Eshad revealed to the world that aliens exist and are a part of a larger Galactic Federation. To be clear, some on social media appear to believe it is in order to promote his new book.

Technosolutionism doesn't seem to have a dictionary definition but the author seems to use if for crap tech fixes like apps for covid rather than good tech fixes like masks and vaccines. If that's the case then technosolutionism is trivially not the fix by definition.

On the other hand good tech advances mostly are the answer to pandemic problems like the plague, smallpox etc.

> I am yet to see evidence of Nazis being at the protests

Someone hasn't been looking at tattoos.
Can confirm. $600k+ is normal in low cost of living areas in the US. Excessive pay for doctors is definitely part of the problem here. People don't like to hear it and don't like to admit it because the work they do is so important and because there are other, bigger costs, and I get that. But difficult situations have difficult answers, and doctor pay is huge in the US in a way it isn't in every other country and doctors themselves know this. It may not fix the problem overnight, but regular people would see instant savings if we fixed this issue.
It seems clearly vindictive since I am not sure how you could practically enforce that or argue it doesn't infringe on someone's rights. Plenty of places expect you to pay exclusively via the Internet nowadays, especially government services.
On one hand I think macOS sandboxing can be a bit too restrictive and buggy, but on the other I think it's somewhat unreasonable for developers to continue to expect unfettered access as a given on the desktop, because it's been proven time and time again that unfettered access will be abused, often by big companies that users tend to implicitly grant a higher level of trust to.
What exactly is "Free Speech" are we talking about the constitution or some hard to defend philosophical idea?

There hasn't been any legal free speech issues here. Fundamentally, if you make a platform, you can (mostly) enforce whatever policies you want about the type of speech you allow. This is why Parler is trying to chase this from an anti-trust angle, not a 1st Amendment angle.

If you are talking about the more general philosophical idea, keep in mind we are talking on Hacker News. Here, right now we are moderated. Much discussion on Parler which caused Apple, Google, and Amazon to hit them with the ban hammer is banned here as well. Likewise, most online forums ban talk of murder, rape, death threats, etc.

Parler itself has policies against this kind of content, if they didn't, Apple at least wouldn't have allowed them on the App Store. Parler does not enforce their own Terms of Service. If they did, we wouldn't be here now.

> This explains why fire is hot regardless of fuel composition.

This cracks me up. Despite a chemistry degree, I have never really thought to consider whether or not endothermic combustion exists, even though endothermic reactions exist. Nitrogen "combustion" with oxygen is endothermic. But really, the definition of combustion implies a high temperature, relatively rapid and self-sustaining reaction, e.g. rust and glucose metabolism aren't combustion.
Eh, I sort of disagree. Like, I am fully convinced many marriages are not healthy and the appropriate thing for the partners is to end it. But I've seen people end marriages that were probably perfectly salvageable, without even trying to really save it. One bump in the road and they're calling for a separation.

We've entered a transactional phase where your partner is supposed to show up perfect, well-adjusted and no work on your part for a healthy relationship is required. Not working? Ditch 'em and try again. That's the other extreme, sort of the exact opposite of staying due to social pressure with someone you hate and makes you unhappy, and it's also unhealthy.
> If the goal of Julia is to replace R/Python then their priorities feel way off the mark

There's a lot more to scientific computing than wrangling tabular data. Julia is competing in that overall space with R/Python/Fortran/Java/C++. If R or Pandas is better at data wrangling, then Julia won't win out there. But so be it. No PL is best at everything.
"The warrant alleges that on Nov. 10, Jones downloaded a file equivalent to between 600 and 700 sheets of paper, containing contact information for about 19,182 Floridians. The file contained names, organizations, titles, home counties as well as personal phone numbers and emails, the warrant states."

That's new, and doesn't sound good for her.

Look up the salary of your local hospital president.
In my medium town of (Pop 200K) they pay him $980k per year. That is an absurd salary for a relatively small hospital!
In the US, high school includes very basic chemistry lumped into general science topics. Pretty much all organic chemistry I've learned has been from Khan academy and wikipedia...
I believe that doctors in the US get paid more than in germany, but 60k seems very very low. Teachers have an income in that range....

Edit: Looking at some german articles, maybe they did not convert from eur to usd, ~80,000-100,000$ (depending on expertise etc) seems more likely for a dr working at a hospital (which is still low imho compared to US salaries...).

I deeply loath R for its terrible type idiosyncracies, syntax, and slowness.

However, even I must admit that it is incredibly good at what it was meant to do - analyse and display data. (And yes, the tidyverse is a huge improvement of the syntax, although it's telling that they basically reinvented the language to do so.)

As an ecological modeller, I create my actual simulation models in Julia, because it is a much, much better language for any real programming. But I still analyse the output in R.
>Julia has the focus on scientific and numerical computing, and is overtaking the python/numpy combo in that niche\

I agree. In fact if Julia hasn't overtaken Python in numerical computing by January 2022 I will consider it a huge failure.
I think the point is: you don’t need a “codebase” to display text and images. Which is what the vast majority of web content is: text and images.
