Those things are consistent with neither one another nor the actual behavior of Republicans. How are restrained spending and profligate military spending consistent with one another, when they're opposites? When was the last Republican administration to lower the deficit or cut Social Security or Medicare?

I’m open about my past Heroin addiction on here, and get a tonne of emails from other HNers. Anecdotally I’ve no idea whether it’s more than should be expected, but a lot of people on here suffer the way I suffered, so it’s definitely an undercurrent at least.
I can use almost any editor, ed(1) included, fairly efficiently without any config (well not exactly efficiently with ed).

Just because you wouldn't starve eating grain, olives and the occasional cheese shouldn't mean you can't eat a prime cut and have a nice glass of wine with it when you have the chance.
I don't think banning extremism, hate speech and calls for political violence from private platforms constitutes a compromise.
And what are the Remainers to do? The damage is done, and rejoining the EU is politically impossible for the foreseeable future of both sides of the channel. For many, their lives are too interlinked and rooted in Britain to leave.

It feels very pessimistic currently as a remainer. Yes, there will be benefits to leaving for some, and life will mostly go on. But it’s heartbreaking to see the damage done as predicted.
Because people rioting over centuries of racial abuse and systematic racially motivated murder at the hands of policeman is not the same thing as storming your nations capitol because you don't like the results of a free and fair election
This is a terrible comment. Obviously the GP is speaking in a relative sense, based on their observations and experience with others.

Saying "not trying to be snarky" does little to minimise the snarky attitude.
Neat suggestion. I too am seeing shades of brown for most queries. Maybe this would help.
Blood is similarly weird. Very flesh tone tinged a little pink.

The previous poster isn’t “scared”. They have observed the what happens when people feel free of the consequences of their speech. Making this out as if it were about fear rather than direct issues doesn’t help.

Can there be a free speech social platform that isn’t a cesspool? If so, how? Is it inevitable that a free platform will be used to recruit, radicalize, and organize for violence? Or is there a way to prevent that?

Ignore these questions and you let them fester.

> “insurrection”

Here’s a definition from Merriam-Webster: “an act or instance of revolting against civil authority or an established government”. Seems to fit what happened at the Capitol pretty well, doesn’t it?
Because the CDC said to not wear masks when this whole forum was citing papers and screaming that we should wear masks and wtf is the CDC doing?

I would contend that if the suggest color is more than X away from the traditionally named color (as defined in rgb.txt), then it needs to be reconsidered to see if its "right" or not.

Where is this coming from? I don't need any monitoring... not ISP, not government...

Are the terms confidential. Can customers "compare notes" to see if they are getting less favourable terms than others.
You're right. I was 100% thinking of 'stat arb' when I wrote that comment. What I meant to say that the way 'arb' is used is completely meaningless.

Maybe a clearer comment would have been:

"If rentech's strategy can be considered an arb, then every strategy can be considered an arb".
They killed a police officer. While storming your Capitol building during your democratic process. What else do you call it then?
To some degree, the EU (and Canada's similar practice) forces US consumers to underwrite the cost of R & D that creates many of these drugs in the first place.

Almost entirely because that's not a word. Calling something "Lightning" would be a lot closer, as a trademark they use but with very conditional mindshare.
I don't agree. Healing societal schisms is about reestablishing a vision of politics where you argue by saying "here's why this is the best policy" or "here's why this is the most ethical policy", rather than "my movement is very strong and you'd better not get in our way". Making compromises is an important part of effective governance, but it won't by itself heal anything.
If it's any consolation, the insured patient payments are subsidizing the non-insured cash cost.
> No, the richest and most safe civilization ever existed on the face of the planet is ready to give up on freedom because of TV picture and a bunch of talking heads on TV and Twitter that told them there was an "insurrection" (nothing of the sort happened of course) and it's time to panic now

I must say, it's reassuring to read someone else saying this. This whole ordeal is perhaps the largest tempest in a teapot in history, and it's shocking to me how many people are buying it.

The ability for politically motivated coordinated propaganda to control the zeitgeist in the modern world is, however, quite horrifying.
Is there any chance that this won't be terribly slow/janky? I had tried installing OS X under QEMU a while back, and you could use KVM to make it faster (IIRC), but it was very tricky to set up.
It is tough to see one's project(s) fail but in hindsight, I wonder if the author could have gotten feedback from customer even before writing a single line of code to do the meta-analyses (let alone paying contractors). This is on the lines of "simple but not easy" but here goes anyway:

1. Identifying "who am I solving this for"

2. Identifying "who might pay for this"

3. Prototypes , mockups of the solution

4. Getting out of the building (GOOB) and talking to the end customers (the ones who will pay) and validating 1 & 2 before going full steam ahead
Please comment your estimate on how much those prescriptions make up compared to the total prescriptions that those doctors prescribe, because whatever you type, it will be very off.
The problem was mostly in having an incompetent leader that spreads propaganda.

The influence of a man in the seat can not be ignored and never will.

But as every problem the society will encounter, the most important thing is adapting so this can not happen again.

Eg. The spread of "fake news" was more profitable and cheaper than real news is one issue that should be addressed.
(Live) Covid Vaccine Tracker
First, a comment - the bolding in the article is just obnoxious.

Second, I disagree. Working in enterprise software is just awful in my experience. The author talks about all the cool complex problems to be solved and learning from PMs!

But what about the shitty PMs that work you to death and don't get it? What about the annoying customers that want a certain design even though it isn't the most effective? Working with developers? In enterprise? You mean the offshore team, right? Get ready for 12 AM meetings with people that can't understand each other, many of whom are just warm bodies, taking 50 attempts for one working design.

Documentation? Really? No one reads that stuff. They want to see it working - this is UX. People want to see a physical product not read about it.

The consumer grade UX stuff is just BS in enterprise. People want to do their jobs easily. Period. New UX design for consumer grade is simple and doesn't have to do things efficiently like at work. All the major players came out with their new UX and people hate it. It does everything slower than before. Almost every project I've been on people have said "no let's use the old stuff it's simply faster" and it almost always is.

Just my two cents after 5/6 years in the industry.
>> more often wrong than not

By the website's definition, which is right on the main page, it is not wrong. The website uses the "average color across the approximately 25 image results".

And for that purpose this site works fantastically, and I would say it's a pretty hilarious idea.

For example searching for Dolphin doesn't return grey but instead a shade of blue, because most dolphin pictures are dolphins in water.

I think the website takes our expectations and instead shows us the reality. And I think it does a fantastic job.

What I would like to see is an option to maybe increase the number of images to average from, maybe to 50, 100, etc. I would also love to see the source released so I can this instance locally.
> The problem is, in many software companies, none of the tasks look alike. So your past data is going to be somewhat dirty, particularly at team level

Tasks don't really give you anything though. I think if it was measured in terms of features, that would work a lot better.

And with a Monte Carlo simulation, you get to know the time it would take you to complete any random feature on any random period. So maybe you can't perfectly predict that next feature, but in the year, on the average, your predictions should tend towards good accuracy.

And you could take it further, machine learn the feature request to the time it took. And then run the ML inference on any new feature request. Maybe let devs add some labels, it's not exactly estimating, but they could mention if say they think something is "complex", "ambiguous", "straightforward", etc.

I'm sure there'd be ways to do it.

> Intentionally or not, Phil Katz achieved "embrace, extend, extinguish" with the .ARC format.

I recall a text file circulating BBSes when I was a kid, around the time of the move from PKArc and PKXArc, to PKZip, supposedly detailing the visit of the lawyer to Phil Katz's house.

IIRC, the file said that some evil corporate lawyer came to PK's house, PK was out, his mom didn't know why the lawyer was there, served him tea or lunch or something while they chatted, and then at the end, evil lawyer surprises the mom or PK with evil legal papers.

At some point, PKZip appeared, and then downloads on BBSes started switching from `.ARC` to `.ZIP`. (There were a bunch of other packaging&compression formats, and you'd have a collection of the tools to extract whatever the download you found and got was in. But, IIRC, for awhile, `.ARC` was the most popular on free BBSes that I used, and then `.ZIP` became the most popular.)

I don't know whether the stories of the legal action had anything to do with the move from .ARC to .ZIP, but I could believe it, on the free BBSes. They were generally run by hobbyists who could afford the computer and a phone line, and the time to give the BBS a character, and I got the impression that just wanted to make something and share. As far as I know, there wasn't any implicit subtle self-promotion, career development, etc., like there is in many things today, and a lot of corporate behavior that we consider normal within tech today, I think wouldn't have been considered acceptable. So, especially given the stories circulating about ARC vs. ZIP, it's really easy to imagine a "f-word those SEA guys" reaction from the altruists running BBSes in their dens.

Lets leave that up to the courts.

Let me try to talk you down a bit.

The real problem is that those with money and agenda can create a platform that is difficult for truthful free speech to compete against.

Whether it's Fox News, Republicans and the Capitol Riot or The Sun/Times, Murdoch and Brexit, the fact that the rich have a megaphone that outcompetes truthful free speech is a problem.

So, my question to you is: how do we amplify truth via free speech against these malicious agents?

Unfortunately, I don't know the answer to that question.
I've been on the Internet since before it had pictures. Hosts have always had this power. It's not new. It's not free speech. You pay for a service, you adhere to their rules. You break their rules, you get booted.

This argument is a dog whistle defense of terrorism.
Oh so lets scream ACAB, remove our police, allow crime to grow and that will fix things? How many of the protests / riots were started in response to a police shooting and then months later it is clearer that the use of force was justified?

I was 100% onboard with reformation of policing, increasing training, and the likes. When rioters attacked small business, used strong arm tactics to establish autonomous zones in us Cities, burned down police stations, attacked innocent bystanders.. etc.. you lost my empathy.

I'm 100% for equality, I'm 100% for people loving whome ever they want. You have my support. But when the demonization of anyone that doesn't 100% toe the line becomes standard you lose me and a large portion of America.

Both sides are going crazy and until both sides acknowledge that, it's only going to get worse. Media and big tech taking these actions will escalate not de-escalate.
I don't know about that particular drug, but I was on a super spendy drug- the manufacturer had a program that would cover the difference down to $5 / month or $25 if your insurance didn't cover it or you don't have any.

My insurance wouldn't cover it until I tried cheaper alternatives first, but I didn't want to try those given their fair more serious side effect / risk profile. Because of the manufacturer program, I was still able to get it for $25. I dont know if that would be possible in the UK if the programs arent offered there.

Also, no waiting period other than the medicine had to be shipped from a specialty pharmacy that could deal with the temperature storage and handling requirements. There is a bit of a wait to see a specialist to actually prescribe it, but that varies by geographic region and specialty.
Yeah, first few OS X releases were famously buggy as they were figuring this UNIX stuff and the OS 9 compatibility, but they stabilized about 10.4 Tiger.

Honestly the OS X itself (uhhh macOS now) is still fine, even with Big Sur and its weird iOS controls, however the other software is sometimes weird; but - let's say Numbers was never good and iWeb was always downright bad. And iTunes was bad in Jobs era and is still bad (as Music).

I however still kind of miss when native Cocoa apps were sort of good and not just ported iOS app via Catalyst or something. But whatever. I'm old I guess

It probably does not need any specific consideration, as consent can be freely withdrawn at any time (GDPR Art 7.3), so the consent not passing over is equivalent to consent passing over but the child deciding to withdraw it the moment they are legally able to - in any case, legal consent persists only if the legal decisionmaker actually consents.

And it's worth noting that this is not about collection of data but use of data - if the legal basis of the processing was consent (perhaps there was a different legal basis, then consent isn't relevant) then withdrawing the consent does not make the earlier processing illegal, but it does require the controller to stop processing (using) the data they collected while they had consent and ensure that any processors to whom they delegated data processing do so as well.
I'm surprised such a condescending comment is still visible. Parler didn't go dark because your outgroup "abandoned their ideals", it went dark because a bunch of for-profit companies don't want to do business with them, because doing so would lead to a loss in revenue. Sucks for them, but not a free speech issue.
Entirely off topic, I know, but the title is one of the few words Canadian English spells uniquely.

I have stage 4 medullary thyroid cancer and started receiving one of the drugs (Retevmo) about two weeks after it was approved by the FDA.

It has absolutely saved my life, it is everything I prayed for, and it is hard to comprehend how fortunate I am to have access to this medicine, that this treatment has literally no side effects, and to be alive at this time in history.

I have no doubt I'd be dead if my disease progressed 5 or 10 years earlier when there was no good treatment available for MTC. (My first chemo was failing right when Retevmo was approved)

It's not a cure, and I don't know how long it will last before my cancer outsmarts the drug, but it is so reassuring there is such rapid research and breakthroughs being made.
I'm not using it for 'ideological battle'. I'm merely stating my opinions on the topic at hand.

"destroys the curious conversation that it's supposed to be for"

This makes no sense. How is me asking questions and stating opinions that make others think destroying curiosity?? It does the exact opposite.

"If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and sticking to the rules when posting here, we'd be grateful."

I never violated any of your rules. The real issue is that you are so blinded by your own personal political ideology, you see any other views as somehow offensive. It's actually part of the problem we have in our society today.
100% with you on the idea of increasing the supply of doctors and shortening medical education.

My dad is an ophthalmologist and he does basically 3 surgeries that take up most of his work time: LASIK, cataract surgery, and cornea transplants.

Was it really necessary for him to do 13 years of schooling to learn how to do those 3 surgeries? I really don’t think so. I feel like we could train doctors in about 6 years (2 years of focused medical training + 4 years of residency / apprenticeship with a practicing doctor). If we’re honest about what doctors are learning, they would have about the same amount of time learning about their actual specialty compared to now, without so many hoops to jump through.

The current system is a cartel that must be reformed.

We also should consider international competition. There are competent doctors in India who could do expensive surgeries like hip replacements for 1/10 the cost AND get better results than the average hospital in the US.

At least we could sell health insurance across state lines...
This is meant to put market pressure on medical svcs. This new transparency rule only applies to hospitals, it does not cover independent Practices.

There will be several 2nd order effects, where the overall impact is unknown:
1. The transparency rule not only reveals prices to consumers, but also to other insurance companies and other hospitals. Since these price arrangements were until now secret, that will impact negotiations between payors and hospitals in competitive markets like major cities. This is likely to force outliers on both the cheap end and expensive end to bring their rates closer to market. If either hospital or the insurer cannot bring their rates closer to market, this may accelerate consolidation of hospitals to improve negotiating power, and/or cause smaller insurers to drop hospitals from their network.
This may give some room to relief to small practices that were formerly in danger of losing payor "network" access; at least while the big coverage fights happen upstream between hospitals and payors.

2. the transparency list is not comprehensive. So, not all medical services are shoppable (i.e. scheduled in advance, typically non life-threatening), this may cause hospitals to shift costs to services that consumers have no control over, meaning (1) emergency and (2) unlisted procedures. It will take a few years for hospitals to understand the impact the rule has on their bottom line. The implication is that there will be a waterfall of margin pressure on scheduled procedures at independent doctors , but it will take time to happen.
I mean, you're just spewing insults at people instead of providing any numbers or facts. Clearly you don't want to have a discussion or educate anyone but just want to find reasons to insult people.
This basically has no hardware acceleration, if you don't mess around with GPU passthrough and even then you won't have a great experience - so you won't be doing any heavy work or browsing. It'll be quite choppy, even on a relatively modern CPU.
