Come on, that’s clearly a bad faith interpretation of what GP said. You’ve been here long enough to know that that’s a no no.
I think this is the best argument for these lists that I've heard.

Forcing this stuff out into the light helps the system get fixed. This is a pattern I've seen in internal tools development for businesses over and over. When my solution increases visibility into a problem, suddenly people start solving the problem without my help.
The shorthands mystify me as well. I have taught a few courses using Swift and the shorthand notation, as well as implicit variables like oldValue and newValue in setters, are confusing. You can try to ignore them, but eventually a student will find them.

In my experience, teaching courses using Racket have had better outcomes. At the end of the Racket courses, I can quickly transition students to other languages, including Swift. It hasn't worked out so well with Swift. I am still gathering data so I can come to a better conclusion as to why.
all of the evidence is pointing that privacy is everything they have in their brand

That probably explains why their brand is declining.

Aren't insurance rates regulated meaning if they payout a smaller amount than expected the rates will go down next year?
> why didn't they just say Epic is banned forever?

Why would Apple ban a potent revenue source?
I wouldn't want my to work at such a company either, but not because of negotiation power. I'd avoid it because I think it would lead to a sense of competition with coworkers over pay, complete with resentments, and that would be irritating.
They do mention

"Waydroid uses Linux namespaces (user, pid, uts, net, mount, ipc) to run a full…" [see main page]

when in fact they simply use LXD, which uses all these features. Besides, it is a project dependency, which is not mentioned anywhere.

Edit: clarity.
That seem crazy... not crazy in the, "I don't believe you" sense, crazy in the sense that people would just keep rolling with losses in renting and not just flip houses, which is still a pain, but you don't have to deal with renters and are sort of doing the same job.
Perhaps! My point was that it's quite a large order for the desired price of 0.
You’re missing the bigger picture. It’s worthwhile improving transparency around the vast majority of healthcare needs/spending. ER costs are also a problem, but it’s an orthogonal issue. Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
I think they don't want to ban Epic forever over this kind of spat because it sets a bad precedent and could turn other developers away from them.

Additionally I don't think it helps their public image and hurts the case they are making where they don't need regulation because they have fair rules (smacking someone out of the app store forever because they file a lawsuit wouldn't pass the smell test)
>but it's also definitely beneficial in places like Stack Overflow, where there's a logical reason to assume that the most popular answer might have any correlation at all with the best answer.

Sure, there's correlation but the correlation always breaks down whenever anyone needs it most.

If you ask an easy question you could have just googled or read the man pages to get a decent answer is what's upvoted. But few people really need help answering those questions.

If you ask a hard question potentially involving nuances and situational constraints or if you ask a very specific question requiring expertise you will get the same naive surface level answers highly up-voted and the one guy who actually knows your question has his answer downvoted to oblivion by the people who know just enough to be dangerous.

If you aren't familiar with the subject matter in question it's even worse because a guy who knows what he's talking about answering your hard question and getting downvoted for it is indistinguishable from a guy who has no idea what he's talking about giving a wrong answer to an easy question.

Of course the end result is that everyone who knows WTF they're talking about contributes minimally if at all.

Stack Overflow is better than most subreddits because you can link a man page or doc but the more a subject requires subjective judgement the more it displays the pattern I described above.
LoRaWAN is extremely cheap (BOM and data costs) and quite frankly old tech compared to any other standard which fills the same market need. I have a water sensor that has a battery life of 10 years and $1 pays for all the data credits it ever needs.
We may very well see a repeat of this situation in the next couple days when the FDA considers a different Advisory Committee's recommendation on the Covid vaccine boosters. There is speculation that the FDA may ignore the recommendation to limit boosters to 65+ and those with risk of severe disease and instead approve it for a broader population. At the end of the day, the Advisory Committee is just that - a committee that advises and the FDA is not bound by that recommendation. It seems a bit disingenuous of the committee members to expect the broader FDA to just rubber stamp their recommendation, particularly when it was a split decision.
I know right? This post and the report it links reeks of political motive.

So Mozilla isn't any better then.

As long as they have Google's money and have them as the default search engine, their stance on privacy is a joke. In fact, they knew about the joke about 'Mozilla living without Google' since 2007 [0] and 14 years later they once begged to Google to renew that contract and now they continue to bite the same hand that kept them alive.

"Security by obscurity" is a phrase frequently repeated but generally misunderstood. There is value in not having the lock everybody's trying to pick with very advanced attacks so long as it is generally proof against being kicked down by simpler ones.

So, sure, it may be security-by-obscurity--but it can also be significant and helpful depending on one's threat model. "Security by obscurity" is not a disqualifying objection under most models.

This completely depends on the "modest appreciation". Even though it seems like it, growth in housing is not a given in the way you can reasonably assume stock market appreciation over the long term. Plus there is a lot more uncertainty since you cannot hedge your investment in a home. The entire market could be doing great but your particular house may be affected by local zoning laws or a homeless shelter in the neighborhood or a new highway or anything else.
I don't see calls for equality as meaning that you can't make more money by performing better. I see calls for equality meaning that the basis on which pay rates are decided are applied to all equally.
Around 2012 before my wife and I were married, we both got pneumonia. I was insured through my employer, she was uninsured.

We went to urgent care at the same time on the same day, saw the same doctor and got prescribed the same drugs.

About a month later when the bills came, her bill with no insurance was somewhere in the $160 range. My bill after insurance was nearly $300.

I'm still peaved about this.
I have been trying to get my banking software to work with both Anbox and Waydroid for the last couple of days.
So far I've had no success with either.
I've gotten other apps to run just fine but not any related to banking.
These apps are extremely picky about the environment you run them in.
At least the ones I'm working with require Google Play Services, which is proprietary and have to be ripped from an Android image (if you don't want to take a chance on some shady download).
Even with Play services, my app still will not start.
I'm thinking it could be related to how Anbox and Waydroid shares the kernel with the host OS, and therefor it may not look like valid Android to the apps.
Are you actually able to do that in any typical company. Usually your stuck in a pay band ime
I don’t see Lithuania writing a report or making a fuss about it. Weird.
I'm not trying to rewrite history or pick sides...but... if I remember right wasn't it basically that everyone at Mozilla kept calling him a bigot and saying they wouldn't work there? And rather than argue back and forth, he realized it would be easier to just resign? That's what I remember, at least. It is true he wasn't 'fired', but basically pushed into a wall and told to do something.
Yes, all high paying careers are competing with each other for ambitious workers.
This is true - but professors provide the real value that students retain over time - so admissions fees should pretty much all be funneled to them. This is a problem with how hard to market the value professors provide is - a lot of admissions care more about a good sports team than a good set of professors even though the later factor will be much more important to them two years in.

Basically, people don't act rationally so the market is irrational.
One thing I've run into with these projects is that they don't work well in a multi user setting. Anbox specifically assumes that only a single user is present in the system and having multiple users with multiple app profiles seems to be entirely unsupported.

I can't find anything about that use case in the description here, but if anyone has tried it I'd love to hear if Waydroid would be a fit for my use case.

We're way past the point of no return with all of this.

At some point you just have to accept the new normal. Some of this should be handled by national security teams but I am unsure where we stand (US).

I'm surprised Lithuania of all places takes a firm stand on Chinese phones, meanwhile the US seems to be spinning its wheels. I am not sure what is going on behind closed doors.

I'm not a fan of the guy, but this is probably the most important/good thing he did with his presidency. Price transparency is the most fundamental first step to driving down health care costs. Once people get a taste of it, it will drive even more, better and accurate data. Start real conversations about costs and open the door to measureable improvement through innovation.
If you are interested in this topic, I found this podcast to be enlightening: https://www.econtalk.org/keith-smith-on-free-market-health-c...

LSU alum here, and I can confirm that our athletic performance is a rising tide. It's my understanding though that LSU athletics pays employees from its own revenue. So it's not like LSU is diverting funds meant for academics to athletics (in the macro sense). As an alum I frequently get asked to donate to the LSU Foundation which is an entity separate from the Tiger Athletic Foundation, which is where you can donate specifically to the athletic department.

Well, 99%+ of my transactions are in USD

When abroad, prices are listed in the local currency, and I have to do some mental math, but yes the transaction does currency conversion automatically, with a fee that is typically higher than I would have realized if I swapped beforehand.

The point is, what currency will prices be listed in and do I have to jump through these mental hoops everywhere I buy things? Unlikely that most consumers will want this situation and extra layer. If it's listed in USD, why not just pay in USD and avoid the conversion stuff all together?

That is why a plethora of currencies will not pan out. It's not a out technology, it's about people's minds and behaviors.
> Swift has way too man shorthand syntaxes. It feels nice from a language design perspective but when teaching Swift, you can see how confusing it is for the students.

100% agree. As a late adopter of Swift, I spent a lot of time looking at code that was so stingy with information that it was challenging to even formulate a Google-able question from it.
>That a comment is flagged or at -4 is useful signal

Knowing that something is a) spot on but ideologically inconvenient b) wrong doesn't really help if you don't have the subject matter familiarity to already know what's right and wrong. It just reduces your options to a binary choice.

>And only like 8 people can tell you that information 3 months after the fact.

It's like that in every large organization. But it turns out businesses are pretty good at tracking costs, no matter how complex.

Besides, the specifics of any single case don't matter all that much. The variation can be smoothed out given enough data and a few common points of comparison.

But all of this is asking the wrong question...not 'how much does this cost now?' which is hopelessly mired in historical cruft but 'how much would this cost if done efficiently?'.

A well jelled team, with senior engineers can be much more productive with Objective C.

But for beginners, swift looks less intimidating due to its syntax familiarity. The language pitfalls become apparent as you dive into it.

Perhaps that’s why swift in ML and other areas failed. People don’t like the language. In iOS you are forced to use it.

I hope the swift team does some hard thinking and start slashing features and make it Simpler.
What we got is something more complex than even Java. This is the same reason that Scala didn't take off (even though some people like it).
In addition to the proportion of interest decreasing over time as the principal is paid down, there's an additional factor: the mortgage payment is fixed for the full term of the loan at purchase time. So suppose you take out a 30 year mortgage with a monthly payment of $2000 in 2021 and you never pre-pay or refinance. In 2050, you'll still be paying $2000 per month even though rents will have risen with inflation over that time.
I think the issue here is that the system that has been setup is so dysfunctional that there is some validity to the phrase "the cost is unknowable".

But prior to this regulation, it was extremely difficult to even ascertain just how dysfunctional it all was. Putting it out in the open means more accountability for providers and insurers. Which in due time means more regulation :)

Which is how it goes when an industry misbehaves for so long. Eventually the public will get fed up, and demand that changes be made. This is just one step on that journey.

You’re right, my estimate for a short surgery in a private Thai hospital last Monday was “10k/11k THB excluding fees.” I walked out of the hospital 2 hours later having paid 9.1k THB (270 USD) painkillers included.

Estimates are fine, it’s just that they don’t benefit US hospitals. Stop justifying them, they’re scamming you.
They're not saying developing in Swift is faster than OjbC, they're saying Java for Android was slower than ObjC for iOS, and now Kotlin for Android is faster than Swift for iOS.

Both teams move faster in the new languages, but the Android team moves more faster.
> Now that the workings have been revealed, An0m is a trick that could surely never be repeated in the world of organised crime. The revelations will push criminals away from technology, even if it makes their work more laborious and slow-moving.

I can imagine future organized crime information flows more closely resembling what was depicted in John Wick: a lot of secretaries and file clerks pushing paper around, using old mechanical adding machines and typewriters; if they do touch a computer, it's a VIC-20 or similarly ancient, internet-incapable device.
I think you made the biggest argument for requiring these lists in the first place.

For your simple exercise, it seems like we need to have that breakdown for those four different factors (and have that explicitly listed). Then we can figure out why the cost for a $0.22 jumps to $20 for those with insurance but $12 when paying cash. I agree it probably is a huge plus for you and your job security. :)

They have already built the worlds largest contiguous Lorawan network (a spectrum and application woefully underserved in the united states), and the network grows at 40-50% monthly.

> Any ambitious and smart enough American who wants to make a high income in exchange for working hard at prep has a choice of jobs they can go into.

I suspect that the number of people who are driven solely by money and prestige is smaller than you believe, but even so, careers in different fields aren't fungible for the simple fact that even ambitious and smart people aren't universally capable of excelling in any field they choose. A top heart surgeon, for instance, wouldn't necessarily have the ability to be a top software engineer, even if he or she tried, just as a top software engineer wouldn't necessarily have the ability to be a top heart surgeon.
