> By law, the HIPAA Privacy Rule applies only to covered entities – health plans, health care clearinghouses, and certain health care providers. However, most health care providers and health plans do not carry out all of their health care activities and functions by themselves. Instead, they often use the services of a variety of other persons or businesses. The Privacy Rule allows covered providers and health plans to disclose protected health information to these “business associates” if the providers or plans obtain satisfactory assurances that the business associate will use the information only for the purposes for which it was engaged by the covered entity, will safeguard the information from misuse, and will help the covered entity comply with some of the covered entity’s duties under the Privacy Rule. Covered entities may disclose protected health information to an entity in its role as a business associate only to help the covered entity carry out its health care functions – not for the business associate’s independent use or purposes, except as needed for the proper management and administration of the business associate.

I just used the snippet returned a Google search, which said:

The average length of enlistment for U.S. military personnel is just under 15 years for all branches. The average service time for officers is a bit less, averaging about 11 years. The U.S. Air Force has an average enlistment time of 14.7 years. Oct 4, 2017

The referenced URL is:

https://classroom.synonym.com/beyonce-curls-8729.html

(yes, that "beyonce-curls" URL is the right one)

Surprisingly, it does include references, but only one of them still exists, which backs up the 11 year number for officers, but not for general enlisted:

https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2011/10/05/chapter...

The average officer in 2009 had been in the military nearly 11 years, slightly more than a year longer than the average in 1973.

The pattern among enlisted personnel is more complicated. The average length of service for enlisted personnel rose from 5.8 years in 1973 to a peak of 7.5 in 1994 and 1996, but then began drifting downward and now stands at 6.7 years.

The answer is get a different job that you don't hate, that allows for some or all remote work. In Seattle, we pay college hires 100-130k us $. If you have 5-10 years experience, you are making probably 250k+ total comp. My experience was the UK pays a lot less money, outside of some London jobs. With 20 years experience, or special expertise, you are making 500k us. Are you really making a £900k / 1 mill $? Principal engineers at top companies in seattle make $700k

It makes sense not only from biological point of view as noted in the article, but also from technological as well. Almost all color cameras use Color Filter Arrays [1], meaning that for WxH resolution you don't get WxHx3 pixel values as you would expect from RGB images which you usually consume, but only WxH (i.e. 2/3rds of RGB image data is generated, not measured). With 4:4:4 sampling you have 12 values per 2x2 block, even though only 4 values have been measured by camera for it. Meanwhile with 4:2:0 sub-sampling you have 6 values, which is still bigger than 4, but quite convenient for processing in Y-based color spaces.

My point is that this just appears to be xenophobia and is completely hypocritical. Nearly every app on my phone asks to access the local network.It's a thing. It's not unusual in the slightest. The problem seems to be that this company is based in China. And we don't like China. Maybe that is not what you in particular don't like (I get that you don't like FB) but that is the reason why this is a topic conversation at all. So in effect what the people in this thread are saying is that American companies (and by direct link the US gov) are allowed to spy on people, but foreign governments should not be allowed. That seems like a huge double standard. For the record, I personally would prefer no governments were spying on me - but that doesn't seem to be on the table.

Ever since we reneged on the decision Kennedy made to pull out of VietNam by Johnson, we've thought continually we were dealing with another defeated Japan or defeated Germany --the enemy population would just comply to our wishes, so we kept on thinking we could "turn them into replicas of American government"

This thinking has undermined our actions in every major war since then, with the exception of GWI. Gulf War One, we went in, did the job and got out. I'm not sure we should have gone in in the first place, but at least we didn't try to artificially change the government there.

It's disheartening to see the admins of Bush and Obama arrogantly and foolishly pursuing a transformational goal. It does not work.

I watched the video and was very impressed -kudos!

I have a couple of questions that hopefully you haven't answered elsewhere. I looked over the github for your project but it was 3am so I might have missed it they're answered there.

1)I saw that this can be run over ssh -but in a graphical terminal. Does this require the client terminal to be running on something like X or Wayland or would it work from a regular console?

2)I didn't noticed any BSD ports, is this an afterthought (ie if you don't use BSD you wouldn't port it) or do you mostly lean into a lot of Linux specific system calls?

Anyway -the video was very intense in a great way and it's good to see a next next generation curses!

At this point, I'd be willing to pay for a Spotify client that works exactly the same, but just ignores the existence of podcasts entirely. I use a dedicated podcast client when I want to listen to podcasts, and they keep shoving them in my face and taking up precious UI real estate everywhere.

But any client without support for Spotify Connect might as well be dead to me. Controlling my wifi speakers from my phone, or playing music on my desktop Mac from my laptop or gaming PC is critical functionality at this point.

Because "new" trumps "great" every time. If that was not the case, we would stop watching any new movies for a long time since there's an abundance of great old movies that you could watch before even starting to watch anything new. But that's not how entertainment works. Humans crave for stuff that's new, and that's precisely why this business can exist.

Oh, I wasn't asking about why YC funded it.

Maybe the problem is I don't know the full history here—but it seems to me that whenever the Unicode consortium first added a script (east asian?) that included flags with specific designs, those flags should have been excluded. It would have meant some small compatibility breakage, but at least the breakage would have been contained.

Note, I say this with the benefit of hindsight that I would not have had in 200X. (Although, I also say it as a layperson; I'd expect the steering committee to think about these things more than me.)

They would kind of have to be idiots to do so, to be quite frank.

Up until like a year ago, their baseline product was $500 / mo plus $x / user after 100 users (iirc) with a 12 month contract.

Plaid has basically no competition, is worth billions and was almost acquired if not for an anti-trust suit.

I am not sure how Plaid or its founders would benefit financially by betraying the trust of their customers and their customers' customers by getting a few cents per record out of it.

> Plaid would retain access to their credentials and use them to mine, aggregate and then sell users’ financial transaction data to third parties (including to the fintech apps that use its services) for purposes unrelated to the plaintiffs’ use of the fintech payment apps.

People's hatred / mistrust of Plaid stems for a misunderstanding of what Plaid is.

Yes, Plaid does """sell""" that information... to the app that you willfully gave permission to, information like cash flow, debt, types of debt, etc.

Oh, also, if people are so terrified of Plaid, they should write to the Congresspeople and ask them to write a bill to force banks to write & provide REST APIs. The lack of banking APIs is the only reason Plaid exists and has to resort to scraping or storing banking information.
> I feel like part of the problem with the kind of autopilot crashes you describe here is how inexplicable they are to humans.

I don't see why these are inexplicable to humans. It's certainly no more difficult to explain than, say, a (non-adaptive) cruise control in a car from 2000 doing the same thing.

> Whilst humans can be dangerous drivers, the incidents they cause generally have a narrative sequence of events that are comprehensible to us -- for instance, driver was distracted, or visibility was poor.

But that is arguably a sufficient explanation for these Tesla crashes as well. The driver being distracted or inattentive or unable to see clearly is a requirement for all of these Tesla crashes, as far as I know.
Oh no doubt. Plastic pollution is a huge problem here.
Yes, 100% agreed! Your post reflects my feelings on this.

It's important to understand that something being a "logical fallacy" just implies that you can't unilaterally justify conclusion X by using reasoning Y.

But that does not mean that reasoning Y is not valid or helpful in understanding conclusion X.

Ultimately it's important to justify your views with sound reasoning, but life is full of heuristics, so often use of heuristics to reach a conclusion can be reasonable. It just means the conclusion is not definitive from a logical point of view.

Ideally you use a combination of logically sound and heuristic based statements to support an argument.

Following your Bob example... It's important that the person making the argument uses stronger reasoning than just calling Bob an idiot. But agreed that it's a totally valid point of supporting evidence.. assuming that Bob is an idiot is a fairly agreed upon statement.

I'd love to just see a company price a game at $150 dollars without any of the micro-transaction fanfare. Be it an indie studio or an EA-like. I'd be fine with paying good money for something that was genuinely fun and didn't feel like it was nickel-and-diming me.

You'll pay a few bucks for a movie that entertains you for maybe a couple of hours at best, but the idea that people are averse to paying $60 for something you get 1,000 fun hours out of really turns me off.
Agree completely, with the caveat that standard consumer options are usually absolute crap unless you're spending serious money. I'm probably still in the red on my workshop as a whole (damn you Festool) but once I started needing stacks of large canvases to paint on and shelving to store them, for example, the most expensive piece of kit (Domino XL) started rapidly paying itself off. If you're like me and want to do everything yourself, the payback is exponential the more you do and longer you do it. The possibilities compared to standard consumer options are downright overwhelming but once you get started, you find out a lot of the consumer stuff is easy to replicate with minimal skills or expense. Take a look at what it takes to make a decent sectional [1] for example - it's a lot of time but if you're frugal with fabric at your local uphostery store, the savings on labor are easily $1k+.

The problems set in the second you try to profit from it - professional [anything] is a completely different ballgame.

But as a fuller reply to your overly condescending post is that a)yes the BOND procedure is borrowing, but b)the majority of new money is created through the fractional reserve system, which requires banks to hold 10% in reserve when creating loans. When banks give out new loans they are in fact creating almost 10 times as much new money, well exceeding the whole bond mechanism.

Now I admit that this is not my field, but it certainly seems that if the majority of new money that is created is through the fractional reserve system, i.e. by fiat, then the majority of the money that is spent buying new BONDS is from fiat-produced money.
