Right, and both doctors and patients don't want to run another experiment. If they are comfortable with a certain drug, that's a good enough indication its a good first step to getting better.
I used to work for a company that sold custom business systems. When the customers did their parts, i.e., signed of specifications and did their acceptance testing within schedule, we usually delivered within estimate and in time. This was of course applications built with boring technology where 80% was simple CRUD. But the market for this should not be underestimated.
"Dog whistle" is a term that needs to die. You are responding to a made up argument using words I never even said.

There is a huge difference between fait accompli past events and future planning. Feeding and supporting and loving children who exist does not at all preclude planning to reduce the percentage of future children born into unfavorable circumstances.

There are ample means to avoid having kids until one is ready, at every stage of the process. We kind of know what causes childbirth by now. It is wantonly irresponsible for a couple to choose to have children, or for people to engage in activities that produce them, without taking measures to prevent the creation of more children before they are ready to support them.

If everyone just decides to sleep around without availing themselves of the means to avoid pregnancy and thus have unfed children, where is the food going to come from? Has society completely given up on the ideas of family planning and personal responsibility?
Why are rivers separate census blocks when nobody lives on them? Why aren't they part of the surrounding blocks?
What I am saying is that there plenty of gamblers that lost their money and went to complain about being cheated. "Thinking" the game is rigged is not enough. If you want to be taken seriously, either you manage to uncover the con or you use the con against themselves. Otherwise you are just a lame sad loser.

Anyway, I am sure you won't do any of that. It's much easier to just sit on your chair and fool yourself into thinking that you are the only one that knows all the answers and everyone that is trying to work on improving the state of crypto is a fool. What is off-putting about all of your comments is that you dismiss the work or research of anyone as a waste of time (and energy and natural resources) but you fail to provide any kind of compelling evidence that can reject whatever hypothesis people are trying to validate.
Writing correctly comes before writing well and both of these are prerequisites for anything that would be called a style. Badly written is not really a style IMHO.
I didn't mean "hacker" as opposing engineering.

Think of it this way - a hacker will give you an MVP. An engineer will take an MVP and turn it into true-blue infrastructure or if that can't be done, give you a technical analysis detailing why not. In some (many) cases, a person will need to do both and they both require their own skill sets. I agree they aren't mutually exclusive, but I never wrote what I wrote to imply that.

IP address connectivity should be a universal right. DNS is trickier, but the root level companies that provide names should be required to host your NS records (not your DNS servers themselves).

After that I don't believe the internet owes you anything.
Many hospitals don't discount from their list price for self pay. Medicare pays ~10% of list price. So, for example, if there is an insurance rate set at "130% medicare" (common to have a coefficient between 1 and 2), then yes, you'd still see many cash rates that are 5x insurance. However, many hospitals also listed Managed Medicaid insurance rates. These are generally 3-5% of list price & look for similar to normal insurance plans. So, what you're seeing may also be comparing a Medicaid rate to a very high cash rate.

Will add 43284 & other gastro procs shortly. Thanks!
What makes you think this approach will make it harder for other developers to work on the code?

One advantage is that there are fewer technologies another developer arriving needs to know to even get started working on the code.
> You can't see someone catch COVID-19. You can't see someone infected with COVID-19.

This particular problem, though, seems like the kind of problem that is amenable to a techno-solution. If there were a quick way to scan someone to see if they were shedding SARS-CoV-2 virus particles, you could see who was infected, or at least who was contagious, which is the thing to be worried about. Attempts to, for example, take people's temperature before entering a hospital or nursing facility as a visitor are attempts at this sort of technical solution, though of course they are much less accurate than a hypothetical "who is shedding virus particles" detector would be.

So this case would seem to go against the point of the article that started this thread discussion; in a free society, technosolutionism is often the best fix.
this lines up with my experience - naproxen sodium is the best otc pain reliever.
Insurance companies are the real target here. If they can potentially manage to get doctors to prescribe more efficient medication, then they will end up needing to reimburse less and improve their bottom line.
Intentionally or not, Phil Katz achieved "embrace, extend, extinguish" with the .ARC format. When his program was compressing it would use a very effective format that was not understood by SEA's program. It still would have the .ARC extension, though. So SEA's program got the reputation of being broken because they wouldn't work on all .ARC files but PKArc would.

Also SEA was basically two guys. Their lawyer may have expected PKWare to be a big business but this was a founder versus 2 co-founder dispute. It wasn't Microsoft or Oracle on the other side. It's hard to say what else they should or could have done under the circumstances.
I helped migrate a major CPG company to AWS. Only, they changed their mind, migrating most of their data to GCP instead, as they saw Amazon as a competitor. Turns out this was an excellent decision.
I don't get how such a wrong statement is upvoted in this thread.

The larger "public" funds are for strategies that can't be used at Medallion but still provide value for others.

> Noah Smith himself worked at SUNY Stony Brook, which is heavily funded by Simons.

Simons is very clear that his money is to go to the Math and some science departments. Noah is out of their Finance department.

Even if you take the senate report at face value...it only explains 1/5th % of their yearly returns.
> No idea what any of those shows you listed are. My interests are ..., politics

_Today_ and _PM_ are amongst the most influential media in the UK. Not knowing about them is almost wilfully ignorant -- other media will report that "on the _Today_ programme this morning, Minister for Vaccines, Nadhim Zahawi, said…"
I agree; but there are a few worrying trends that we need to keep an eye on with respect to this:

* IPv4 space. IPv4 addresses are increasingly expensive. In a perfect world we'd just get rid of them, but instead, we live in a world where Amazon owns roughly $3B worth of them. They're critical to serving web content; what happens when centralized corporate mega-powers are the only ones who can afford them, or own them?

* Email reputation. Its basically a boys club; if you don't send your emails through a reputable provider, with their acceptable use policies which generally reach far beyond "are you sending spam", you're likely to be spam-listed by the recipients mailbox, of which there are roughly four providers (Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, AOL).

* "Post-email" customer communication channels. Companies increasingly talk to customers over iMessage, FBM, Telegram, etc. These are all closed loops; piss off Apple and you lose that channel. A truly open, federated 1:1 chat solution is necessary. Unaware of any options here; Signal feels like we're getting there, but its not federated. Gaining market adoption is a whole other problem, but stomping on your privacy and freedom tends to be a big motivator.

* Domain registration. I don't think this is a huge threat vector for market freedom, given how many registrars there are and how lax IANA's rules are. Lets keep it that way.

* ARM. There's no way to just go purchase an ARM chip and host a server in your closet; no one is selling them. Amazon and Apple have their proprietary ones they aren't sharing. If the industry moves more toward ARM, to where hosting on x86 becomes intolerable due to software support (I expect it will, but on a timespan of decades), this is a big threat vector for increasing centralization into the mega-corp clouds. Definitely need an "Intel for ARM" (AMD? Nvidia? Uh, Intel?)
Of course you count.

And yes, good engineering should always be admired and sought after. But hacking and making has its uses and charms.
I liked it too. In the case of the pandemic, if we were as smart as we think we are, we would’ve had the public doing drills. We didn’t put in the work ahead of time. The countries that’ve done well are the countries that faced SARS back in 2003.

I don’t blame anybody for not wanting to go along with these just-in-time pandemic fixes or for self-soothing with misinformation. Educational initiatives would’ve been funded and followed during swine flu with little difficulty. We’ve had ten years to pull together a well-orchestrated plan and build up our societal immune system.
Nope, no message. Nobody has ever told me that they've failed to use my app due to browser issues, so I just haven't ever put mitigations in place for users who try.

It's possible that users with old browsers have tried to use my app, found that it didn't work in their legacy browser, and then just moved on without telling me.

It's also worth mentioning that my app is for server administration, so my users are more technically-savvy than average and tend to be the kind of people who see the need to use the latest browser versions.
Remote work will enable leaks like this.
Also because planning gets you to make your desires explicit and to put them in a useful framework. Unexpected problems, disruptive as they may be, don't usually derail the whole plan. Some parts may need to be rethought, but others are still valid, and the whole thing keeps you focused.
Sales teams do EXACTLY that. Go into salesforce and you’ll see the estimates.

Potential deal with client Foo will be for $X, to be signed on Y day, with Z% chance of closing.

On an individual level, it may be more precise than it is accurate, but it’s a fairly standard and important part of sales operations. And yes, the estimate dates are often just ways to express orders of magnitude (put next Friday as estimate dates not because it’ll definitely close next Friday, but bc it’ll probably take about 2 weeks). The % chance of closing are typically pre determined by what stage of the deal you’re in.

However, when applied across dozens, hundreds, thousands of potential deals, it allows the organization to understand their sales pipeline and sales velocity fairly accurately.

Of course the numbers are gamed a bit. And some sales people are much worse at estimating than others, or less consistent about keeping the numbers up to date. But the benefit of these practices are massive.
If she is the one guiding Twitter’s PR, what we are seeing is the cause of Twitter’s future demise.

It doesn’t get anymore dystopian than this.

Other countries have every reason to start shunning American tech monopolies because this is a dangerous (and poorly played) game.

Also: I am starting to think that Jack Dorsey’s secret mission is to kill Twitter. He might as well succeed sooner than he expected.
That's peanuts though financially, if you use it it'd be much better to send a few bucks his way :)

And yeah I regularly do that kind of thing
:) Especially with single dev projects, I prefer spending on them than the big ones like Mozilla, Wikipedia etc. They already have plenty of ways to get themselves on the map for donations.
Think of it more as being a pattern interrupt. They are saying no to you over and over, so by asking the question, "So you have perfect user retention then?" they can either say "No" instinctively which opens your sales pitch because they've now told you they have a user retention problem, or they stop and think about the question in which case you've successfully interrupted the pattern of no's that preceded the question and can further the discussion.

There are definitely better examples I could come up with, but now I'm stuck with this one because it's what I quickly typed out earlier.
There's no such thing as a working system.

That's why space stuff has redundancies etc.
If your position is genuinely that you believe website operators should be mandated by law to host content they do not want to host except when that content has been specifically determined to be illegal, then we simply disagree on that point - I think that would make the world a worse place and I prefer the world where that rule is not in effect.
But if you believe in allowing the tiniest ounce of operator discretion, you believe in censorship, in principle.

Just think about the absolutist argument for a moment and it becomes incoherent: am I infringing on your free speech if I downvote you? What if I upvote you? If someone reads my comment, then decides not to read your comment, aren't I censoring you just as much as if I gave my friend a browser extension that blocks only your comments?
Licensed engineer is liable. If you get 10 structural engineers working on a bridge, only single one will sign off on the project. This person needs to be licensed and is liable. But all 10 could have worked on the project and did engineering work.

Lot of people here are putting = between engineer and licensed engineer.
Yeah, I think there is no question that there are ways to integrate physical activity into your life in a rural setting, especially if you are going to make gardening, animal husbandry, or forestry integral to your routine. But, if you think that Starlink is a big inducement to move to the great deserts of western America, where you will sit with your laptop and your wifi, then it seems likely to be a net reduction in your physical activity, as you won't be walking a mile each way to the office, or to the café, or whatever.
You need not look further than Nadler's blatant denial (on video!) that Antifa violence even exists to see how powerful and/or dangerous one-sided freedom of speech is.
I found this to be an extremely valuable tutorial! The step-by-step format using code diffs made everything very clear and easy to follow along. If you're a beginner or intermediate Rust developer, Phillipp's series of tutorials can also be useful as a guide to structure a moderately feature-full codebase in a way that is easy to grok. Great work and I'd love to see a similar series like this on other topics like building a Markdown parser or basic key-value database for example.
I’m curious why you think Canada couldn’t provide single payer health care. (For the record, I support a Canadian style system.)

The biggest challenge I see is that people might rush to California to claim the benefits. It’s not clear that’s a real problem (and it’s not the problem Vermont and California actually ran aground on).

The Supreme Court’s precedent in this area is a shambles. But if California offered state-run universal insurance, I bet the Supreme Court would approve measures to keep people from moving to California after they got sick.
People have argued that the tone and context in which it is being said will influence effectiveness. Verbatim has nothing to do with it but you keep ignoring that point.
> And what of the lies which led us into the Gulf War and the Iraq War? Hundreds of thousands of people are dead because of those lies, and they were broadcast from coast to coast by every credible news media organisation in existence. The same organisations now being lauded as the bearers of ultimate truth.

What "lie" led us into the Gulf War? Are you claiming that Iraq did not in fact invade and conquer Kuwait?

And what about the stuff about Iraqi WMDs? I'm obviously not claiming that lying was invented in the last few years, so pointing out some lie that gained traction in the past doesn't really challenge anything I said.

> When the next set of lies is rolled out to land us in another unending conflict, I would quite like the internet to be a place where information can freely flow. My fear of governments is far greater than my fear of kooky people on the internet.

There's a good chance that the kind of freely flowing information I'm talking about will likely just lead you to a different lie. If the truth (or interpretations approaching the truth) is a needle in a haystack, it's unlikely that many people will actually ever find it. That's a problem.
TL;DR Most of our customers never heard about churn or LTV. They don't care. You raised this issue probably because you work in the "start-up industry" :)

Long version, from the beginning:

When we started two years ago, the lifetime option cost $60. Why? Because we created an online editor for Bootstrap only, and Bootstrap Studio (similar software then) had a lifetime option, and it cost... $60 (I just checked, and it still costs $60 for a lifetime license).

For proof, you can check the link in my first comment. It's about Bootstrap Shuffle (and that's why today our editor is called Shuffle :)).

Please note that their software (Bootstrap Studio) is a desktop application; they don't have infrastructure cost, etc. But back then, I chose price by comparison.

In the meantime, we added support for Tailwind CSS, Bulma CSS, and Material-UI.

Today, the lifetime option price is related to our LTV and our funding (no VC funding). And that's why we prefer real revenue to imagined/estimated future revenue in excel. ;)

And lifetime option converts a lot better than annual (a mean 2x better). I tested it a few times.

We may remove this option in the future (for new customers only!), but today lifetime subscription is not something that worries us :)
On Mac the X server is only optional though (Xquartz) and I don't think it can even 'see' the entire screen. Only other X Windows apps.
There was no SWAT team. A couple officers knocked on her door for 20 minutes and she refused to open it, so they had to call for backup.

It was about the most polite you could ever ask for the police to be when refusing them entry while they are serving a warrant to collect evidence.

That the serving of the warrant could be so overblown is part of what makes me suspect that the whole ordeal is entirely overblown.

> because the default position is to not shackle kids

Being home schooled I've only seen the way kids in public school are treated from a distance and from the stories I've been told from people who are now adults. Based on what I've heard this sounds pretty consistent with the general attitude of public employees tasked with caring for children.

There should be nothing illegal about “attacking” a religion with words, all the moreso if those words are factually accurate.
This may not be accurate at all, but my first thought was I think I've seen people living in some of those no one lives here on the Alaska TV shows. Specifically, http://www.kavikrivercamp.com with Sue Aikens. Not sure how her river camp would be statistically measured.
Gonna save a whole bunch of you some time and downvotes when you comment:

This post is not about whether Enterprises design good UX. This is about the author enjoying designing UX for Enterprise applications.

A good example of why you shouldn't make a comment without clicking through.

That said, the article could easily lose many people who just read it and assume they know better than the author and don't bother to click. Oh well.
You will die waiting.
Well if that's the standard, it's also true that 99.999999999% of people haven't programmed mainframes in the 50s and learned haskell in the 90s, so to avoid redundancy we can just say people instead of parents and grandparents.
I disagree and here’s why: in a free society you have to convince participants to act in good faith by showing good will towards them. No amount of trying to control someone by censoring them will stop them from pursuing their beliefs. Instead, you need to hear their needs and use the public discourse of opinion to formulate a path forward that benefits all members of the society.
Interesting. Now I have to add this paper to my reading list.

My immediate curiosity is why our purported murderer couldn't be brought up on charges to conspire to commit murder/transit state lines in the commission of a crime/etc.

It'd seem from my layman's perspective you'd almost have to simply have a crime of passion (or at least no premeditation outside this zone) happen - e.g. a pair camping in this area of the park and one murdering the other in a fit of rage.

No, it provides something that superficially looks interesting. That's a big difference from being actually interesting.

Unfortunately, reading Medium articles (even free ones) after a certain number of visits drops the registration banner and prevents you from continuing/reading without an account as a reader.

To me, this engagement model is parasitic and suggests that their valuation/monetization strategy is "eyeballs". Not sure this necessarily helps writers but it certainly helps Medium to drive sign-ups with free content.

Gists do not require an account/login for readers AFAIK.
Aside from China, a substantial amount of global carbon emissions comes from rich Western democracies where everyone did have a vote, in multiple elections over decades, during which scientists were warning the public about climate change. The voters chose to elect politicians who didn't solve the problem. In some cases, the voters chose politicians who denied that problem existed. It's not a good situation, but we definitely got a vote.
lawfare
But critical infrastructure is built on AWS. I don't understand how any CEO of any large company would be comfortable with the risk of getting the rug pulled underneath all of its critical systems given that this is just what happened. I think the reputational damage is, or at least should, be much greater than any Parler litigation.
Be careful because those lies become expectations for everyone that manager speaks to.
