> Sure but then you just put the discussion in the PR.

The PR is nothing more than a request to discuss the changeset. The point is that trying to start a discussion on a problem by skipping the discussion of the problem and instead jumping onto a changeset that's proposed without considering neither the problem nor the constraints can and very often is a complete waste of time for all parties involved.

Let's frame it the other way around: what is there to gain by not getting up to speed on the design constraints by refusing to onboard or even engage with the maintainers?
Presumably you don't just mean the creation of healthcare companies in the US that are foreign-owned but still subject to the exact same current US system (because that would just be the same as now, essentially); presumably you mean something really innovative (or crazytown, depending on view!) like allowing a section of a US population to outright join a foreign system.

For example, Seattle decides to switch to the UK NHS, cuts a deal with the UK whereby everyone in Seattle pays into the UK treasury at the same rate UK citizens do towards the NHS, and the NHS takes on a responsiblity for universal healthcare in Seattle for Seattle citizens. Is this the kind of idea you mean? Certainly would be interesting and as a spitballing conversation piece, fun to discuss.

Show HN: Free live video collab on Figma files, Google docs, slides and sheets
Hello HN,

I’m Jithin Raj, co-founder of Volcano (https://volcano.live) together with Sajith Amma. We are building a platform for anyone to go live with live video collaboration and streaming it to the existing platforms.

The Figma & Google docs live video collaboration tool is one of the tools we developed part of the larger project.

If you don't want to install a chrome plugin, a better way is to enter the Figma / Google docs/sheets/slides URL on this page to get your shareable live video collaboration link.

Please try this out and let us know how to improve.

Thank you. :)
The booking fee is per booking, not per ticket (at least it was about a decade ago when I last did this route with megabus).

So technically the ticket price can be as close to £1 as you want it to be.
It's not like they would be able to import the legal, regulatory and economic environments that foster their lower prices or better outcomes. I would assume that all they would really be able to bring to the table is brand recognition.
You don't need other countries, just allow US entrepreneurs to setup health care services.

Google "certificate of need" and you'll see why these hospitals virtually have monopolies in so many counties.

US Healthcare nowhere close to a free market.
That guy actually paid the price of a car for a rabies shot. It was probably cheaper to take a vacation south and pretend to be bitten again.
I’m convinced that the single best way to improve the current private-insurance based system is that it should be illegal to charge two different patients a different price for the same test, drug, or procedure given at the same hospital.

I think implementing such a policy could be trivial for many things like labs and drugs and many procedures, and admittedly tricky to implement for complex / one-off procedures, but that shouldn’t stop us from trying.

Price transparency is important but eliminating price discrimination is I think the key way to shut down so much of the bloat and corruption currently in the system.

The last step would be to make it illegal to do any kind of rebating where patients are billed more than insurance ultimately pays. Charging less for one procedure taken by Patient A in exchange for charging more for another procedure taken by Patient B similarly should just be banned.

You end up with a system where the insurance companies and benefits managers have a lot less that they are able to do. Perhaps they would claim they are “hamstrung” but that’s exactly what they should be in this regard.

From comments, and look at the actual study [1]

I have 4 Points

1. No additional verification has been found since, leading to the probability that it was a false positive

2. The researches final paper and subsequent research only talks about finding indicators after Jan 2020

3. The original March 2019 only had 2 of 5 indicators, and seemed to be a data anomaly we should not be writing sensationalist news stories on data anomalies

4. No other samples from 2019 seem to have the same abnormal results... Given what we know about COVID it is unlikely that is appeared in March 2019, then disappeared only to reappear again in Jan 2020...

Covid-19 Started in Wuhan, I know you desperately want to believe it did not start in China, likely do not your political basis but there is literately zero evidence to claim it did not start in China

We need millions of tons of it to make to make NH3 for fertilizer. It's also likely we'll need it to make steel.
It may not be right to blame AI, but it's certainly the case that they were presenting it as "the system says there was a shot fired here." The bigger point is that the "system" can't be trusted. And the fact that they need to manually classify things is proof of that fact. (It's way more complicated than just an audio recording. It's recordings from numerous locations, attempting to triangulate the original location, without being confused by echoes and other things.)
Well that's still a failure on both the software programmed by humans causing a false positive and then doubled down by a wrong human review, based on a false alert.
All involved stakeholders have failed.
Android phones have nothing to do with what we call Linux phones right now, which is Linux kernel + a Debian/KDE Mobile/something else userspace that is NOT Android. It's not because you share a kernel that you are the same thing, and Android phones are by nature tied to Google by default and keep calling home.
> you want the simplest possible way to express "connect a to b to c, and b to d, and d to c and back",

TikZ has an easy to use DSL for expressing graphs :) you can write

\graph a -> {b, c} -> d;

and it will produce something like

a –– b -- d
\ /

> Why is it so easy to cast doubt about them?

Because people will say just about anything if you pay them to say it, and they will keep saying it for as long as you keep paying them.

This feeds into people reasonable assumption that if to different people are saying different things these is some doubt about the issue.
Hmm? Academic fakery to support some financial unreality isn't exactly new. Remember how some economists figured they wouldn't include important chunks of the first world in an Excel calculation, in order to justify the grinding austerity favoured by right-wingers in the early 2010s? [0] They kept the data, they just decided not to include it in the calculations. Amazingly, actually including the data shows that the effects of a high debt-to-GDP on growth are negligible at best, rather than overwhelmingly bad.

Did they get anything more than a slap on the wrist? Are they still selling books based on the concept?

The breathless commentary regarding how perfidious psychology is threatens to sprain the muscles that govern the rolling of my eyes.

Are we talking about the same investigation?

The NTSB made the following statement in the accident report:

This is a very subjective, not to mention new (specifically: post-github) thing. Plenty of projects love to receive patches directly.

I'm all for doing things the maintainer wants, but to say not using issues is non-collaborative is pants.
The OP reports something closer to a lab study, on the scale of things.

In the following video, a Stanford professor studying aging suggests young people are faster at integrating a lot of quickly incoming information to the point of making decisions on it, but older people are emotionally more secure and can even make younger people more productive if part of the group.

> Photos that are automatically uploaded to iCloud are not scanned?

iCloud backups are not scanned. Only photos uploaded to iCloud Photo Library.

> As for apps - WhatsApp, for example, saves everything to Camera Roll by default. Which then gets auto-uploaded to iCloud.

This is not true at all. The user is asked for explicit permission before apps can save photos to the camera roll, and the user must choose to use iCloud Photo Library.
The unsatisfying practical answer: No company whose business relies on their website is going to be comfortable assuming the answer is no. So "commercial" usage, where "commercial" is defined as "worth suing and has lawyers who are worried about being sued," needs to buy a license, and "personal" usage, which is the complement of that, doesn't.
Nope, but returning favor to a friend by linking it here :)
I had a great experience with Twitter in its very early days. It seemed like I was connecting with actual people that cared and had time to interact with one another.

My experience now is that it's mostly accounts chasing fame, and bots retweeting bots.

It seems that people are afraid to be themselves on social media too - perhaps for good reason.
Yes. You take something you do not own (even down the tree). You have to check if you are allowed to. It does not matter if it is a small pet project or the Linux Kernel.

Sure you can ignore him and wait for him to lawyer up and make your life miserable. Considering that IT specialists which have capacity to contribute to open source are typically not poor or have idealogical interests, I would not take the bets.

Respect the wishes of the people you take code from.

License checking is like code coverage. If you are a professional you take care of it.
Your assessment of psychology is flawed in several ways. The main concern of psychological research isn't to help someone. It's to understand how/why organisms think and behave under certain conditions. Psychological research can be conducted using the scientific method like any other science field. To say "Psychology", as a whole, is similar to snake oil, ignores thousands of perfectly sound findings. Fraud is certainly not unique to the field of psychology. Nor are the pressures to publish positive findings.

Your final thoughts about 'life outcomes from genetics' is incoherent.
This is ok'ish and legal during national medical emergencies. There are specific laws to deal with such temporarily. It's not something to normalize, but there are more than one argument to weigh here. How do you consider other arguments and perspectives?
Daily reminder that the US spends vastly more, per capita, in government heath expenditures[1], than any other country.

We pay for socialized healthcare, and then some, it's just that most of us don't get it.

I view the problem as impossible to solve until there is a collapse.

The elephant in the room is culture, of course. The relative freedom of the American economic system ensures that any group with strong “meritocratic” cultural values will eventually come to occupy a disproportionate share of the economic elite.

The obvious advantage of Jewish culture is (in part) its ancient tradition of demanding literacy from everyone. East Asian cultures also place a high value on literacy, and the Confucian emphasis on social harmony tends to promote an ideal of “self-cultivation”.

I think the real challenge here is that within the American “melting pot,” one particular group has a tragic history of cultural devastation, and no amount of money or assistance from outsiders can rebuild a strong culture—it can only come from within. In fact, outside interference is likely to obstruct this process.
Nice! I've been looking for something like this.
A standard optimization for reducing overhead is to Alpine based images.

Similar quite a lot of official docker images people base their images one are Debian not Ubuntu based.

And a lot of Linux server work in certain sectors is based around RedHat.

Similar docker gets in a lot of areas replaced by podman (through I guess for this discussions we could treat them as being the same).

Lastly outside of server space (and ignoring embedded Linux) Steam Os (Arch based) might have interesting effects in the future (due to the Steam Deck, which IMHO is very promising).

So I'm not really seeing everything written for `Ubuntu` only, through a lot of things will target Docker with whatever they like as a base.

Through then we would need to consider what we mean with "everything".

I mean the situation around Games, multiple Server scenarios, Embedded Linux and multiple scenarios of desktop Linux differs. Sometime quite massively.

E.g. Linux Gaming is/will be eaten up by proton, independent of weather it's proton on Steam Os (Arch derivative) or proton on Ubuntu. Similar in a University related context the large majority of people I meet which did ran Linux did ran Ubuntu. But outside of a University related context it was pretty much the opposite and no one I meet ran Ubuntu (anymore, may did in the past, e.g. in University, but switched and stayed away from it since then).

E.g. if the Steam Deck is not just successful but also stays successful then in a few years more "Desktop" Linux systems might run Steam Os (Arch derivative) then Ubuntu (partially because the university Ubuntu share seems to be eaten up by Windows and their subsystem to some degree).
If you're implying the replication crisis is limited to social sciences, that's too narrow. You'd expect to see these problems in any field that primarily relies on hard to gather data that is far removed from the underlying phenomenon. Many sciences that aren't strictly "soft" have "soft" fields. Say, Biology->drug research.

Also not to argue semantics but when you hear the word "scientist" in common parlance it almost exclusively refers to people doing that kind of research. The "sciences" that don't have these problems tend to not be too big on using the word "science".
Not hiring someone vs firing someone because the requirements are changed when the person is already employed, are different things.
The MEL (minimum equipment list) applies only to normal operations.

Test flight programs are generally done in the experimental category, where the MEL would not apply.

Side note: production airplanes are also regularly ferried in violation of the MEL or other airworthiness requirement under a ferry permit (Special Flight Permit is the official name) - https://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/field_offices/fsdo/phl/...
Yeah ... I work for money ... recognition, friends, fun with cool tech, this I can get from the rest of my life ... as long as the job gives me the ONLY thing it's good for - money.
That's the point? These systems invariably turn out to not be any sort of AI at all, but sales people ready to make a call any way their customer (police) wants it made.

Later it's presented as AI to a jury. It's basically the same scam as lots of forensics, junk science to get a desired result.
I mean it’s not really malicious to design a single-user system. At best it’s passively malicious. Sure, you can always share your personal pizza but you have to deal with the consequences that it was sized for one person and you both might be hungry after.

Are you upset about the fact that you can’t have multiple isolated user-accounts on an iPhone?
I think GitHub gives you the right to download or fork the repo, but the license explicitly states that you can't use the code. That might mean running it on its own is technically illegal.

The license literally says "you can't use this". How are so many people confused about the license in this thread?
> It may not be right to blame AI, but it's certainly the case that they were presenting it as "the system says there was a shot fired here."

I think a crucial distinction is to clarify who “they” is: Who was making the claim? From the article, it seems that the prosecutors may have been the ones exaggerating the evidence:

> Prosecutors said ShotSpotter picked up a gunshot sound where Williams was seen on surveillance camera footage in his car, putting it all forward as proof that Williams shot Herring right there and then.

Naturally the defense wanted to see the actual evidence, so that’s what they got down to.

I know everyone wants to vilify AI, but I think the actual bad actor in this article might be the prosecutor trying to misrepresent the evidence.
It's interesting to me that there's no working process to introduce/accept new types of science in court. Polygraphs aren't allowed (though the police still find ways to use it to bully people). So, there's some process. But you still see stories about subsets of fiber, hair, arson, fingerprint, dna, etc, science, that shouldn't have been brought to court.
Any "foreign hospital" would have to abide by the same standards as "American ones". Furthermore, if it's for profit, I don't see why "foreign establishments" would have lower costs, they'd try to maximize their profit as much as "American ones".

Medical tourism is a more cost effective alternative, for dental care, eyesight, or even some heavy surgeries. The problem is the people who would likely benefit the most from that often don't even have a passport...

I made the same point about education cost in the rest of the west VS USA previously. Americans are entitled to travel or study in a lot of foreign countries without any hurdle, most of them don't ever take advantage of it for arbitrage.
iirc one main difficulty besides electricity is the cathode or anode material, as on industrial scale I think they may need to be replaced due to corrosion or something (again, not entirely sure).

However, we really ought to solve that problem and then put hydrogen stations in sunny / windy places that just make the gas when electricity is available there. Seems like a no-brainer for the middle east with copious amounts of sun year round.
The whole system is the IDE in the sense that it's meant to be an "integrated development environment".

But that's not really a good thing: you only have one system, therefore only one environment.

For example:

How do you use multiple versions of the same library for different project? It's not an easy thing to do if you rely on the system paths for libraries.

It's much better if libraries are just a thing you install to the current project rather than being a system wide thing.
The advantage of GnuPlot is speed, and for quick 2D plots from terminal. It’s the fastest plotter that I have seen.

The output is also good, more so with latex terminal. However, Tikz/PGFplots is much more adjustable, has broader scope, and overall a much better tool for plotting.

GnuPlot syntax is also archaic, and documentation is scant.

As mentioned above, you can use GnuPlot backend to compute the function. At that point, pgfplots is well positioned to render an excellent plot!
What's more free than Mastercard doing what it wishes?
The problem with that is that, when it's an extra cost, the uptake may well skew towards those who are more dependent on healthcare with chronic conditions.

Single payer works because the risk pool is spread overy everyone in the entire country - and everyone has to pay (it's part of income taxes). That's why the ACA mandate was a thing.
It doesn't read fluidly. We care a lot about how our programs are verbalized.

We were well aware of the Haskell use, but most of our users have not seen or even heard of Haskell before. So that's not a real problem here.

People who don't have Haskell experience find it utterly unsurprising that what follows `where` are the examples/tests. So I think your expectation is being set overly by your Haskell experience.

A deep dive on how ACME DNS validation works:

* https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/02/technical-deep-dive-se...

You can have a CNAME _acme-challenge.example.COM point to _acme-challenge.example.ORG or a sub-domain like _acme-challenge.DNSAUTH.example.com.

At work we use the sub-domain method and just have a small non-HA VM with some scripts that allow ACME clients to update particular TXT records. Each ACME client is given an individual key and allowed to only update a particular record.

Folks have specifically written DNS servers to do just this:

* https://github.com/joohoi/acme-dns

However we used BIND with some custom scripting.
For a regular developer like myself, Docker is awesome and it's way better than finding the right incantation deep down in shell scripts and Makefiles. It does seem like it solves problems we shouldn't be having anymore in 2021. But I guess that's the solution for decades of fragmentation and no attention for us non-wizards. Same thing with systemd.

> Of course it requires apt! Because not only we all run Linux, be we all run a specific distribution of Linux with a specific package manager.

At least this code actually spells out the packages it requires and makes it easier to look up the equivalent for yum or apk. I've struggled so much trying to find the right dependency to install before a supposedly simple ./configure, make, make install...

> First of all, let’s talk about the fact that this Makefile is used as a… script. There’s no dependencies in the targets!

As a sidenote, I actually like this style of Makefiles. No need to assume execution permission, and quite frankly it is easier to parse visually than a shell script with if's, case's and getopt.
Anything that can be directly electrified should. Storing power in baggeries when you dont need to is stupid. Storing it as hydrogen is also stupid, unless:

You make fertilizer from fossil fuels and it currebtly generates 2% of the worlds greehouse gasses. We need to replace that.

You currently use coal to make steel and the replacement process uses hydrogen.

You need some kind of fuel for flights and ships and the basic building block of all of current options is hydrogen.

You need to store energy for a long time, or transport it a great distance.

The bonus is that all these things interact, and you can dip into your fertilizer reserves if you need more electricity.

The bad press around hydrogen mostly comes from fossil interests using it as a distraction (don't use battery based vehicles, hydrogen ones will be here any day now and be better, and shorlty after that well magically invent a way of disappearing the carbon from blue hydrogen) but its a fairly basic part of human life and we need to decarbonise its production.
I have worked in large job environments with Primivera or MS Project maintained by dedicated resources. The overhead they add make sense for a wide view of multiple department swimlanes across a complete effort life cycle. My experience here is your WBS should keep the activity line items way above the level of anything in a Github issue. A L5 WBS plan might go [PROJECT_A > PHASE_2 > DATA CENTER > COMMON_SVC > SINGLE SIGNON {5d Duration | 3 Engineers x 10 Hours}] -- SSO itself might be a 30 point todo list for 5 people but those will be managed separately closer to the ground as the work approaches and runs through using a sharper tool - and if the team is ok with GitHub issues then fine there are a hundred ways to do it and none of them perfect; but it would get messy fast using a full blown PMO Software package for backlog type issues. If you had to add another level to WBS it would be generic milestone activity like Prototype/Test/Deploy dates.
