I don't know why you are pointlessly defending this Apple practice of screwing both their customers and developers with this unnecessary "Apple Tax". Here what the article says

> Even though Librem Tunnel is just part of the overall Librem One offering, because it’s part of a subscription service, Apple is requiring us to add the ability to sign up and pay for Librem One subscriptions within the Librem Tunnel app before they will allow updated versions into the App Store.

> Why are they making that requirement even though we already have our own independent payment infrastructure? Because once that app allows in-app purchases, Apple can then automatically take their 30% cut.

You can niggle on the 15% or 30% cut that Apple takes, but they raise a very valid concern -

- why should any developer pay Apple anything at all in the first place?

- Why should they allow themselves to be blackmailed by Apple to use their payment services?

- Why should their customers bear the burden of this extra 15 to 30% that Apple demands for using their payment service?
Sorry didn't get that fully! What do you mean 'backed out'?

I'm announcing Price Unlock but collecting emails at the end for those that want to be updated.
Nothing is freely available. Somebody is paying for it. In my case, I pay 800 euros per month, and then we can use it "freely". What you surely meant is universally available for all.

The actual (socialist) American left (think AOC, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren) calls this liberalism, and complains that it is more about posturing than actual change. So this is only a criticism of the left if you are very far to the right.
A distributed plug though, that will be hell to unplug it!
The quotes in thier headline were entirely fabricated, and several other news organizations who claimed to have had "independently verified" the quotes also spread the lie for months.
So yes, the exact organizations who are arguing for censorship are themselves lying routinely and with no accountability.
Looks like I came up the same path as you: XML in Spring 2, with Spring 3 adding lots of support for annotations. Once Spring 4 came around, I was... okay with abandoning _most_ XML, but some things just made way more sense in XML, such as Spring Security configuration.

I first saw Spring Boot demoed by Josh Long at a Pivotal office in Toronto, and my first reaction was to wretch at autoconfiguration, since it was extremely apparent where it would lead. The team I was working with at the time were a hard NO on annotation-driven config, which I thought was extreme at the time; however, several jobs later, I saw the proliferation of Boot and the autoconfiguration cancer it caused. Some projects were explicitly re-written with a hard technical requirement to not use Spring Boot, and those code bases ended up cleaner and more readable as a result.

The current gig is steeped in Boot and I've just given up and instead tried to use TypeScript for anything new, simply to avoid the Spring ecosystem.

What's more terrifying is watching new grads and green developers use this magic trash and have zero concept of what's actually happening under the covers. When I say zero concept, I really do mean that they have no idea what the servlet spec is, let alone containers or reverse-proxies.
This is what drives me crazy about all of the hand-wringing about the weather disaster we had down here a few weeks ago: liberals keep insisting that we Texans deserved it because we voted regulation-averse politicians into office here, but it was actually the regulators themselves who turned it from an inconvenience into a humanitarian crisis.
I have a mental map of how the universe works, so the whole map for me is the simplest and most complicated thing I understand, all at the same time.

I have repaired HP 6051b Cesium beam frequency standards, and can explain how they work, to laymen.

I don't believe there is anything I can't understand. I believe there are two ways of thinking, mapping, and packing... I believe that mappers can learn ANYTHING, if they are sufficiently motivated and resourced.

Computers on the other hand, are the ultimate packers... as long as you can give them a sufficiently constraining set of instructions that accounts for most small deviations, they can do almost anything.
If you are trying to price something which requires more than the annual production capacity you have to account for the impact your own buying is going to have on the price. I'm not sure how you can wave that away.
Fun anecdote: after a weekend of skiing a few years ago, I had a sore throat, went to One Medical and got a rapid strep test, and was charged $140 for what was a negative result.

The next day I was on a flight from SFO to Singapore, and it was extremely apparent I had strep. Upon landing in Singapore, I went to a clinic where they diagnosed the strep, gave me antibiotics, decongestants, sudafed (the good kind), throat lozenges, and ibuprofen. Total cost? $20 USD.
Because you ended the comment with an insulting fantasy of me.

> Maybe you go through life constantly asserting and believing things that are in no way true....with no experience nor credentials nor having even read any literature to back any of them up...

I would have loved to actually engage in a conversation on how vipassana meditation inevitably, whether it's after 8 hours or 8000 hours, leads to disassociation. Ego death. Seeing reality as it is. But if you refute it by calling the person inexperienced and ignorant, the other party will have no reason or motivation to discuss it further.

I also didn't flag or downvote you, fyi.
How do I deal with working with the sort of person who would make this website?
Yes, but.

How is liberalism not the opposite of conservatism? Conservatives wish to maintain the status quo, true? Liberals wish to change it....

Liberalism has had a horrendous crash lately, many internal contradictions and fallacies have become clear, but the I still adhere to those principals.
Where’s the obligatory dang comment reminding us about cUrIoUs CoNvErSaTiOn?
We should stop calling deep learning models AI, it gives unnecessary hype and misunderstanding of the capacities of the things, as well as a feeling that researchers aren't being honest about the capacities of the things they are developping
currently, i have mix of projects some with main some with master as default branch.

After, I short while i am getting used to main. No issues, just occasionally type main instead of master and vice versa.

Further, i think i like main better. The name fits a bit better the purpose (in my flows) and it also shorter ;)
No it's not, because there can be no technical guarantee wrt to the accuracy of its assessment because of an arms race power balance in perpetual fluctuation.
There's also computational cost, hackable vendors, inevitable implementation errors and vulnerabilities, vulnerable supply chain, corruption, etc.

I'd rather not teach people to trust AUTHENTIC VIDEO™ (that can't guarantee authenticity), but to learn to deal with the fact that there's Photoshop for video now.
Also shorts aren't required to be published in SEC disclosure forms, so for a market neutral long-short fund you're only seeing half the picture.
> So, next time you are annoyed that you have to fix a script or you accidentally type master when you needed to type main, please just take a deep breath, change the name, and remember to reflect upon whether you have are subconscious habits or biases that work against diversity in tech

Yeah, I totally need that, because there is not enough churn in tech. For instance, every release of Android since 4 has been identical in terms of UI, so I haven't had to learn any new subconscious habit in the use of a phone.

Web developers haven't had to learn new framework in over a decade; they could use this, too, not to mention C++ devs.
Agreed. I very recently was thinking about how humans up to a few hundred years ago must have seen the most breath taking night skies. Imagine a native American standing in a clearing at night 2000 years ago, with zero light pollution, looking at the night sky and just wondering what it is all about.
There's almost nothing in this wall of (mostly unrelated) citations that refutes any of the central claim: the health outcomes across NPs and PAs is comparable to, and sometimes better than traditional MDs, especially for the kind of care that Amazon Care is providing.
> Having username+password+sms is strictly safer than having username+password.

No, it is unfortunately actually much worse.

If the account only has name+password and you use a properly good password, nobody will ever guess it (within the lifetime of the universe and all that).

But if the account also has a phone number and the attacker can trigger an SMS challenge to reset the password, now your wonderfully complex password is meaningless. The attackers just intercepts the SMS and done, they own the account.

It is equivalent to the problem of allowing "security questions" with trivially discoverable answers. A site may enforce 20+ character passwords (great!) but then forces user to enter the name of their best friend in high school (trivially findable in e.g. facebook for most people) and lets any attacker bypass the password with just the so-called security questions, rendering the strong password meaningless.

the misdirection isn't the name change itself, which is trivial in every sense of the word, it's the bullshit discussion around it. to continue focusing on it after the fact is the misdirection, keeping us from discussing substantive issues, like actual systemic, structural barriers to prosperity and equality of opportunity.
It's up to you how you use it. If you want folders being categories and have index.md'd, then do it, create them. Obsidian is very liberal in it's usage and does not enforce a specific workflow or structure.

I remember there is also a plugin which allows to use folder as notes, by loading a kind of index.md when opening the folder.

But what do you mean with "bag of media" folder?
You're ignoring the vast vast majority of health care out there to focus on one extreme example - for which we have a separate answer already. (catastrophe insurance.) I just want a decent doctor to prescribe my meds and to purchase them at a reasonable price. I won't die without these things, and I'd prefer the costs be visible so there will be price competition. Most health care is like this.
Exactly, which is why you want it to be a commodity, so that there isn't even the need to do something like shop around. If healthcare was a commodity, you just go to the nearest hospital and can rest assured that you're getting the same care you would get anywhere else.
> All that said, this is something that I'm personally happy with and love. I won't recommend it to family and friends.

For family that uses their computers to access the internet and their email, Ubuntu LTS releases have been great. I'm of the opinion that if someone's use-case can be addressed with a Chromebook, then Ubuntu with Firefox or Chrome would serve them just as well.
I can explain how atomic clocks work, to a layman, in 5 minutes. It's a matter of understanding the subject, and remembering what it is like NOT to understand it, and connecting the two in creative ways.
I'm curious how they would feel about Bell Labs. Sounds like a proprietary OS that happened to be open source wouldn't go over well either.
>The crash will come once average suburbanites stop protesting everything denser than a half-acre single-family home and city councils realize that mixed-zoning is far more sustainable.

So conversely, the crash will never come as long as average suburbanites continue to protest everything denser than a half-acre single-family home? Because I wouldn't bet on human nature changing any time soon.
That is quite cheap disgust, surely?
Nice! I didn't know that. Thank you!
Single men do nothing. They still need others to do the hard work. The people who were truly successful did so by managing large organisations. Also, blind luck and circumstances.
Water is a public utility here. I’d like the same for healthcare.
That doesn't answer my question:

Canada is on that list. I live in Canada. This is not something anyone I know is losing sleep over.

They may be buying gold for other reasons, but it is not for the possibility of losing their land.

This HN thread is about Ray Dalio and bonds, and the sub-thread is about the S&P 500 versus gold returns, and gold returns in general. Bringing in farmland is quite the curve ball.
Consider that you grew up in the most technology advanced part of the world.

In 2001 we had dial-up and an IBM machine with paint. I was probably one of the few kids with a computer.

Technology is not homogenous across the globe, and advancement also means lots of people getting access to what we consider the norm.

No, since you can back up the seed in a secure location.
No, I was talking about the now usual in the English-speaking practice amplification of its meaning as "can be supported or shown by persuasive argument", e.g., That is arguably the best book on the subject.

Sure they do, and he talked just about the system, remember packets and the system are two different thing in the bsd-world.
They retain meaning across populations and through time. That's the whole point of philosophy. People's opinions on the matters change, but that doesn't change the matters.

Liberalism didn't change because people are using the term incorrectly and don't understand how to use it properly. Like a market, eventually the political landscape returns to rationality. At the end of the day, Trump is a classic fascist, and his supporters are supporting fascism.

They don't get to rewrite the meanings of the words because they don't like the connotations. Many through history have used his playbook, and it all follows the same general arc.
I suspect there may be regulatory restrictions about allowing text-based communications that aren't available during an audit.
I've been collecting on that gap in personal interviews, I have observed it as well. CMS (Critical Management Theory ) had some tidbits that I found useful, since they criticize mainstream management and describe some of the tactics avoided by mainstream research.
I know little of finance, so let me see if I've understood correctly...

Finley's software automates the generation of debt capital reports. These reports are a regulatory requirement.

It's really hard because: A) there's lots of unstructured data, & B) The reports require real-time data for their credit models.

Is that the right ballpark?
It's pretty crazy that you had this queued up ready to go.

I work in healthcare and have determined that there's no difference in care outcomes between NPs and Others in our organization.

I and my teams have wasted tons of man hours trying to convince MDs of this fact instead of working to help our patients.

Your dad was likely trained in a time before the explosion of nurse practitioner diploma mills.

Currently, certain nurse practitioner schools are better than others, but the fact remains that the minimum requirement for clinical training hours is 500. [1] That's literally 3 months working a 40-hr/week job. That's less than the number of hours Petsmart trains their dog groomers for (over 800). [2] Furthermore, many nurse practitioner schools are not even finding placements for their students, instead forcing them to beg others to take them on for what are mostly shadowing experiences.

Except that what they are doing is well documented, and nobody has so far demonstrated any truth to the cynical counterclaim you are making.

If you had some evidence, it would help.
I was going to stay out of this, but I'll add that I agree entirely with this.

Master/Slave flip-flops, on the other hand, are named for behavior closer to the connotation github is trying to avoid.

And, I'll also add, as a young White child who built and played with master/slave flip-flops, it never occurred to me to associate it with people, slavery, or racism. Maybe if I had been Black it would have been different.

> I wonder why real-life mail doesn't do this. Identifiers mapping to whatever your current address is.

I've had the same exact thought for a while. "DNS for physical addresses" would be so useful for both privacy and convenience.
I never mentioned the race of the labourers. Many weren't white btw. But from your comments you are assuming they are. That btw is racism.

> No that's absolutely racism.

Why? Care to explain? I never mentioned the race many weren't white btw that were making a similar complaint.

> This is also their racism.

So Spanish people who are basically white are being racist against other white people? Is that what you mean? That isn't racism.

Or British (not all British people are white) are people being racist against Spanish people? Or are you using Hitler's definition of what "white" is which means Northern European.

Either way this is non-sensical.

> A special place is reserved for those people who post comments on the Daily Mail complaining about how many immigrants there in England are when they're a British immigrant to Spain.

What are you on about? Nobody said anything about that. I said there are people in Spain that are English that don't assimilate with the local population which is Spanish.
Pretty impressive that insurance isn't involved. I hope that becomes the norm, insurance should only be intended for catastrophic events.

That said, it's frustrating that consumers need to go through their employers to get their healthcare.
The Singapore "3 M" model largely takes advantage of transparent pricing and savings-account driven healthcare spending to bring down costs, as well as price controls to introduce an upper-bound to prices. It's, in my opinion, the paragon of what "healthy regulation" of markets looks like; the price controls don't undermine the market forces, and are instead crafted to complement them.

Ok, then don't use the app that don't offer you Apple pay.

> Stop trying to use regulation to take away my free market choice of ecosystem approach.

Blame Apple for trying to make enemies of the developers who created the app in the first place and added value to the ecosystem you use. Blame Apple for the increased 15 to 30% you will have to pay because Apple thinks it can extort that money from us developers - in effect Apple is only screwing you, the end user.
Yes, and issues will always occur. What I was trying to point out that it's never an individual's fault alone. Sure someone might have tripped the final domino but they might not have had anything to do with everything else that happened. That's why blameless postmortems are a thing. Blameless (to me) doesn't mean that you don't name any person but rather that there's no blame assigned to anyone. I want to know what Person A did to cause the incident but there shouldn't be any retribution against Person A.

Startup hiring: pain but pleasure (only if you do it right) P. 1
* This will be a big writeup. To read other parts click on my username and check other submitions.

Every CEO needs to be a pro at hiring. In these articles, I will cover the process of hiring - and add funny/sad life stories!

What is the hiring peculiarity in any tech, creative or other startup? The “startupishness” of the organization! You cannot hire “just a candidate;” each new person helps BUILD a company at its core.

This is my hiring process:
1. Definition of needs
2. Job description
3. Search for candidates
4. First contact
5. Interviews
6. Onboarding
7. Firing

Part 1 - Define your hiring need

Why are you hiring? You need a plan which clearly defines this. I often hired so we could “do more." The result? An ineffective, bloated team. If you hire instead of solving real problems, you will waste resources by simply multiplying those problems in question.

STORY #1: Our previous company developed a complex tamagotchi game for Facebook and iOS. Every week, new game objects and releases were added. 8 of the 41 employees in our creative department were managers hired to get releases ready in advance. Yet those managers had noticeably low efficiency spending time on immeasurable "improvements." There was never a plan nor discipline. Organizing the managers’ activities became difficult, and things got worse. Nobody ever got us ahead of schedule.

STORY #2: In 2013, we developed a technology to port our tamagotchi to mobile. We hired two intelligent sales managers to market this product. Our ‘marketing plan’ was to post our solution on forums. The predictable results were weak, and the managers eventually quit. I had no opportunity to review their strategies, and . resources were spent with hardly noticeable results.

CONCLUSION: DO NOT hire as a solution to your problems! Make sure the current processes work at 85% of the possible result. Solve your internal problems first and then start hiring.
Pay fair salary/equity/benefits.

Have a clear understanding of your identity, mission, direction, goals.

Have a clear understanding of what you're looking for in a hire.

You're looking for someone to be a fit to what you're doing as much as they are looking to be apart of something that is a fit for them. Pay, product, culture, and various mix of expectations and what each side wants is what makes this works.

You'll want to be as clear as you can about what's exciting about what you're doing, where you're going with this, and who you're looking for to join you on this journey.
I agree with this advice.

I feel like the new split strategy would be toxic.
Indeed, it's a lovely name
~There are no positive stereotypes in that category.~ Scratch that, you are correct. The entire website does have some, outside of that "difficult people section".

But there are way more stereotypes there, so I agree that they are probably a developer.
