This reminds me of the arguments for bank bailouts. There are lots of capable police and investigators in USA. Most of them don't work for FBI. Some of them who do work for FBI would do better work in a better organization. FBI isn't the only authority focused on crime. Other authorities could take over more duties, or new authorities could be created. It's fine for things to change occasionally, especially when toxic organizations are replaced by something better.

And please, it's not as though FBI really focuses on the two concerns you highlighted.

Facebook is the most sophisticated private surveillance network in the world. The breadth and depth of data they have on billions of individual humans is staggering. So they have the means to moderate their platform and mitigate content/persons they consider to be extremist. Instead of acting upon data they "own" using workers that they pay, they roped everyday people into doing the work for them.

The cynic in me is impressed: in one fell swoop they've wrung even more free labor from their users, turned them against each other so they don't unite, and have built something to point at when regulators start asking more pointed questions. It seems as effective as it is depraved.

That is why I specified for routine or preventative procedures, where everything is known beforehand.

I also do not buy that doctors do not know which code will be used. I don’t care if the doctor themself does not know, surely someone that works with them knows and can provide it.

It should be dead simple to go to a doctor’s website and find the codes for routine procedure that they will bill. If something in the visit happens outside of that, the doctor can feel free to say that is outside of the scope of the visit, just like a mechanic can tell me he will not fix the transmission if I am in for a brake job.

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make, but it sounds like you're making the claim that people in the US don't regularly end up with massive surprise medical bills? This entire conversation is about action the government is taking because it happens so often.

> "has hundreds of thousands of dollars, or even millions, of bills turn into nothing"

That's not really how that works. It's not like your insurance company is actually paying "millions of dollars", they're paying some level of reasonable negotiated rate. If they actually had to pay "millions of dollars", that's when they claim something is not covered and you get stuck with a bill anyways.

>Not sure how this isn’t illegal.

Many people believe that regulations on companies stifles innovation, so this is what we get. Apparently, it's your own fault if you bought a defective product.
Hmm that's interesting. Who told you that? The US just had a republican president. Many states have had republican government for decades. Do we see this happening? No. Instead here we are talking about a real and tangible event, largely championed by mainstream democrats.

If you think the average republican voter would support enacting "fascism [to] tear down the tenants of democracy in the US, while siphoning as much money and power to big business and the upper classes as possible", then I suggest you talk to some more. You may be quite surprised.

Regardless, I think this is a major pitfall of the two party system. What you say certainly has truth. What I say has truth as well. However discourse usually devolves to attacking the extremists in each group and no real discussion can be had. I am optimistic about the future. Have a nice day.
I’ve witnessed candidates pass interviews yet fail to be advanced for open positions because they were not in the correct demographic - this was put in writing as the explicit cause. Ironically these were not “white guys,” but candidates who would be considered a minority in the tech industry, just not the right one for executive metrics.

This seems to be quite illegal according to the EEOC website, yet as another poster notes there is no chance that it would be pursued if reported.

IRC never totally died. It's decentralized, free software, and has better clients than anything newer (XMPP, Matrix). I'm in ~100 channels across a few networks. It's also what Twitch chat uses, and you can connect to Twitch chats from an IRC client.

I think the centralized proprietary stuff is bound to die. It was never really built to last. AIM and MSN are truly dead. Hopefully Discord dies someday as well.

> I wouldn't be surprised if at some point something like Gitea (no personal experience with it) will close the gap sufficiently for a lot of users to switch there

Gitea is a weird one for me and I've been studying the Git code hosting space for probably a decade now.

In the last year, they have what appears to be 7 core contributors:

https://public-001.gitsense.com/insights/github/repos?p=impa...

where 4 must be working on this full-time or doing a lot of extra work outside of their day to day job.

Gitea appears to be funded by opensource contributions

https://opencollective.com/gitea

but the amount there doesn't seem like it would be enough to really push development forward fast enough to become a serious alternative for enterprise. Gitea though, is significantly more active than Gogs, which it forked from:

https://public-001.gitsense.com/insights/github/repos?p=impa...

which is very much a one person operation for the most part.

Wikipedia is fine for looking up information about chemical compounds, see what the flag of a given country looks like, read about some physics, maths, hardware-related information and other things which have not yet been politicised. Anything which has been politicised - and that category is getting bigger and bigger - should be read with a critical [1] lens, filtering out the politics which often makes its way into the articles. Whether it is an "Analysis" section based on critical theory which suddenly appears in articles about cartoon characters or myopic reporting on historical events, Wikipedia shows its lack of resistance against concerted attempts to inject ideology into its pages.

It is a modern example the tragedy of the commons where people with an ideological axe to grind don't care that they are destroying the reputation of the medium by abusing it for their own political purposes.

Just like the medium of email was almost brought to its knees by spammers who cared only for their own profits, the medium of "news" - NNTP - was brought to its knees by a combination of the "eternal September" [2] and the explosion of feed sizes caused by "pirates" (ab)using NNTP to distribute large binaries in the bin groups, so now Wikipedia has fallen victim to zealous editors "colonising" "their" subjects, not allowing any edits which go against their own ideology.

Reading the linked annual diversity report was worthwhile. https://static.googleusercontent.com/media/diversity.google/... It touches on so many points, the breadth of effort is frankly amazing. Mental health, accessibility, addiction, mentorship, child care, and so forth. Bravo for Google measuring themselves.

Knowing nothing, I can't put this in context. Three curiosity followups I'd ask:

#1 How does Google compare with other huge organizations? vs Fed Govt, military, education, FAANG, interationally ...?

#2 I'm most interested in retention efforts. Daylighting the reasons people say they're leaving. Revealing this info is fraught with danger, I know. Maybe with large enough sample size, across organizations (eg all FAANGs), it could be done safely.

#3 For people to advance, there need to be opportunities. If I had a cushy job, why would I leave to make room for another? What's Google doing there? One radical solution is the "up or out" system used for high powered consultancies (lawyers, accounting). I'm sure there's downsides to any proposal. But ya gotta break some eggs to make omelets. The kind of cash Google has, they could just buy people out.

Ask HN: Safest Location For Corporate IT Fortress against natural disaster?
I spent 4 decades working throughout the system administrator world and found myself in some truly silly building locations on a few continents (wildfire, flood plain, earthquake, volcano, tsunami, aside rail lines, under flight paths, etc.) and other such places chosen for (?) reasons. Apart from the trains and planes, the natural risks did not seem to be taken seriously. Is there a superior location anywhere for building an IT fortress (not an office space) against natural disaster, to the best extent possible. Suggestions?
There's no such thing as being a dick to a voice assistant of this type.
Picture the scenes from the Man in the High Castle, where rows of listeners are monitoring people's phone conversations to make sure they can identify people who oppose their rule. That is Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, and YouTube, right now.

Except they can now monitor a lot more than just phone calls. And they have the infinite memory of data storage so they can look you up later instead of wasting live listeners on you now. And they have real-time automated tools to pop up messages in your face to influence you, or let you report other people for wrongthink.

Employees of these organizations should be raising Cain about it. If they saw it on TV they'd be aghast. But hmmm, in real life they don't seem to mind.

>Having somebody add your RSS to their reading addresses has basically the same effect as having they give you their email and not add you to their spam list.

I mentioned "RSS" under the bullet point of publisher motivations and RSS being "pull" matters from the publisher's perspective because they want the email addresses.

With RSS, the publisher's server logs can see users' ip addresses (when client RSS readers scan the URL) but not users' email address.

Consider a real-life example of a publisher's perspective to make this distinction clear and to understand economic limitations of RSS:

E.g. Tim Ferris has a blog website.

- https://tim.blog/ <-- main url

- https://tim.blog/feed/ <-- RSS url for the blog

- https://tim.blog/comments/feed/ <-- RSS url for blog comments

- https://go.tim.blog/5-bullet-friday-1/ <-- newsletter URL requires email signup

- (no newsletter RSS url) <-- newsletter has no RSS option

... and Tim Ferris will not allow a RSS url for the newsletter because building his email mailing list is the _purpose_ of his newsletter. He's willing to allow RSS readers to access the main blog but not the newsletter. This selective access is not inconsistent and it makes perfect sense if one understands the publishers' motivations.

Luckily for publishers like Tim Ferris, many users prefer their newsletters in their email inbox which aligns with publisher's preference to send them there.

(Yes to be pedantic, some hackers can fake out email newsletters by using Feedbin's email+RSS bridge mentioned in other comments but that's not relevant here because publishers don't care about the small minority doing that.)

US hits anti-robocall milestone but annoying calls won’t stop any time soon
The public is partisan if it dislikes damnatory but true information when the timing of it is inconvenient to a political party.

It's sort of similar to the Brett Kavanaugh ordeal. Going from memory, the first accuser told her story in private to a Congresswoman in the summer of 2018, I believe it was in July. That politician sat on the information for the rest of July, the entirety of August, and the first few weeks of September. Only when it was closer to the midterm elections and the confirmation process did the Democrats launch their attack against Kavanaugh's character. They urged Congress to delay the vote until after the midterms, which they were hoping to win in a landslide, so that they could deny Kavanaugh a seat.

In either case, we have politically-minded people deliberately timing the release of information. As regular voters, we have to decide what's more important: what the information reveals, or how it is being weaponized.
Hardly bizarre, _most_ of the comforts we enjoy are subsidized with extensive human exploitation. I think it's completely consistent with the rest of our habits.

> Maybe, we should start using those terms for what they are and accept that people can be both, and not exclusivly one or the other.

That seemes self evident to me.

> Influencers as also creators are both doing the same, using the same tactics with the same goals. And more and more the differences are becoming blurry, as both are doing what the other side is doing.

I disagree.

When inluencing, the product is access to their follower and the customer is advertisers.

When creating, the product is the content and the customers ate the consumers of that content.

These two activities are pretty easily distinguishable and just because people do both doesn't make the activities less distinct. I think it is important to have both terms understood separately because they help understand the motivations and incentives behind the content that is being consumed.
Don't pay your mortgage/rent and that will also happen.

Because that's what happens when owe money that you don't pay.

You chose where to live when you bought that property. That choosing is an implicit agreement with the government of that area to pay them taxes in exchange for certain services (schools, roads, police, fire, etc). And you are part of that choice whenever elections come up. Sure, you may vote 'No' on every tax increase, but that doesn't exempt you. Because, once again, as part of the agreement you implicitly made, you agreed to abide by the decision of the group in order to live in the area.

I don't suppose there's a way to process paper into 'pellets' fit for recycling that make this whole process untenable.

Paper fiber length dictates a lot about its reuse. The bigger the chunks the smaller the combinatorics for reversing the 'algorithm'. Big paper mache blobs might fare better. From a recycling standpoint a machine that tears the paper instead of cutting it would do better, but the uniqueness of the edges probably reduces the problem space.

If someone invents a fast paper pulping machine that can mount on a small truck that doesn't require a commercial vehicle license, I bet you could sell loads of them.

Whatever happened to that team who used microcavitation to blast the ink off of paper for reuse? Probably enough solvents left behind to read the text like invisible ink, but as a first pass it might be good.
