We use Phoenix and LiveView to power all of our non-video interactions on Glimesh.tv[0] and the immediate out of the box features and performance are unmatched. LiveView allowed us to get a completely real time updating channel where streamers can edit their metadata (game, title, viewer count, etc) and all of the viewers can see it in real time. Not to mention we implemented a distributed chat system that sends message updates in real time to both browser clients and API clients. Both of these features combined amount to less than 1000 lines of code and "just work" across multiple web nodes.

It can be daunting to jump into such a strange world as a LiveView environment may look (Elixir syntax, OTP terminology, etc) but honestly once you dig in deeper, everything just makes sense. LiveView (and HEEx) continue to be very simple to understand abstractions on top of the rock solid OTP platform. It's a joy to build real time applications using it, and I very much appreciate the "developer experience" focus both Chris & Jose have for us Elixir devs!

I'm excited for the launch of Phoenix 1.6 and HEEx is shaping up to be a complete replacement for your traditional SPA + Backend API, and using one consistent language for your full stack really has very freeing & powerful benefits, especially for small teams!

And yes, the convenience is great, until 1) you stop paying, 2) they go out of business, or 3) you are interested in music they don't have licenses to.

As contentous as the relationships are between spotify-alike services and the music rightsholders, I don't believe that they are a very good long term investment. I almost expect to see the music space to move towards where the TV space is now - each publisher running their own streaming service.

It is most definitely not impossible. How do you think companies decide on budgets? They're not just guessing; they're predicting how different projects will impact revenue. Alexa isn't important to Amazon because it's "cool" — it's important because they've put an actual dollar amount to its return on investment.
Yes, but if we are giving recommendations to users, and are explicitly wanting to take into account mass surveillance like this entire thread of conversation is about, e2e is pretty much a requirement nowadays, and we should be suspicious of any service that doesn't implement it.
> They aren't going to lower the salary of high salary outliers.

True, probably not. But I have worked for companies that would simply stop giving meaningful annual raises if forced to for some reason, which would be the same net result.

> You don't have to necessarily mention it when asking.

Also true, but if person A tells person B what they are being paid, person A has no guarantees that person B will keep their identity a secret. I like my co-workers but I don't trust them as much as I trust my family and friends so it's just not worth the risk.

> if both parties "won" then didn't both ultimately lose?

No, because even in a capitalist society "winning" is defined by each party's relative improvement over the state they would be in if they didn't come to an agreement and make the trade—not by some absolute measure of whether they did better than the other party. A "win-win" is simply an agreement where both parties are better off for making the trade. This is the usual state of things when both parties are free to accept or decline and there is no deception (fraud) involved, since both parties need to accept the agreement and they will only do so if they believe that doing so benefits them. In rare cases one or both parties may be mistaken about the benefit, but they know their own business better than anyone else and are best positioned to judge the expected value of making the trade based on the information available at the time.
There's been some progress on this front, I believe:

Tort reform only helps a little. In fact several US states have already implemented major tort reform and their healthcare costs aren't significantly lower. Doctors still tend to practice defensive medicine and err on the side of doing too much rather than too little.

The current bottleneck in producing more physicians isn't medical schools but rather funded residency program slots. Every year some students graduate from medical school but are unable to actually practice medicine because they don't get matched to a residency program. We need Congress to increase funding.

Vendor-based scams are what this thread and this article is about. The root quoted that An0m was a 'trick' that couldn't be repeated again.

FWIW the generations have been close to what had intended and/or follow the intended patterns, which appropriate variable names relative to the rest of the script.

But from a QA perspective close isn't enough.
No, it's sourced from the initial capitalization of the firm and then realized returns that are reinvested. You can't offer insurance until you're capitalized enough to handle claims on the same day the policy takes effect.

Ideally the premiums will cover payouts and day-to-day business expenses, so the invested money can just keep being reinvested, hopefully into longer term and more aggressive investments. The premiums and payouts get rolled into underwriting profit/income. And that can eventually get rolled into new investments.

Here, look at state farm for 2019[1].

Their underwriting gain was $777 million on $65.2 billion in total premium. Their investment income was $5 billion with a net worth of over $100 billion, which is more than 6 times larger their underwriting premiums.

Their profit ratio for underwriting is like 1.2% because they're not trying to maximize that profit. A large reason they're not trying to maximize it is that for admitted policies, there's usually an upper limit to how much aggregate premium can go to anything other than paying out claims (eg: [2] and [3]).

So for an insurer, they don't want to set themselves up to depend on premiums to fund the investment arm because 1) there's an upper limit on how much aggregate premium can go towards anything other than claims 2) there's no limit on how much aggregate premium can go towards claims, 3) growing premium haphazardly can result in less money available for investing due to other regulations that limit risk and require a certain amount of liquidity for claims.

First, “automobile” refers to moving unders its own power. It’s literally “self-moving”.

Second, it wasn't named by Henry Ford.
Most criminal activity involves communicating arbitrary data. Communicating that a drug boat is coming across a border is a tiny fraction of the communication in a criminal organization. In the scenario you described, planning out the communication protocol itself is an example of communicating arbitrary data... That needs to happen, at every physical hand-off point.

For systematic reviews there are one of two ways that I'm aware of: PROSPERO [1] and Cochrane[2]. Cochrane is slightly more rigorous for conducting a review of this type. Although you do declare what meta-analyses you intend to do, you can't be overly explicit as it is largely dependent on the number of studies that are returned in your search strategy. For example two studies is too small for a meta-analysis so you would do a narrative review (discuss what you found).

Yes, but supposedly the author was referring to a way to lower prices while maintaining an equilibrium of supply versus demand.

You can always lower prices by fiat proclamation, but then you have shortages and wait lines as hospitals go bankrupt and shut down, which will hit rural areas particularly hard.

If you want to lower prices and make sure that everyone gets served, you need to be a bit more sophisticated than just cutting hospital revenue in half and washing your hands of the consequences.

And yet there is a wealth of data on both the safety and the efficacy of covid vaccines, and there is also a wealth of data on the effects of getting covid.

Despite that, I see a lot of very conservative opinion on HN.

Although technology has a fundamentally future-facing nature, the amount of money and power involved in tech creates a counter-force. Often, that shows up as a form of libertarian -- other "flavors" than the ones you mentioned. Those flavors tend to focus on property and money rights, and treat tech as an equalizer such that you, too, could have money and property if only you were smart and hard-working.

That's conservative in that it tends to reinforce existing patterns. They do tend to be older, but that flavor of libertarianism has long been popular with young men, especially in tech. (Cf the punch line "The other involves orcs".)

I don't know how often this translates into conservative tech companies, but HN implies that there must be a lot of conservative tech individuals at these companies.
Ask HN: How do you make money on the side in tech?
Technical skills are no doubt in very high demand right now. If an experienced engineer can make over $500K/yr plus benefits working 40 hours a week at a large company, there should be an opportunity to spend a few extra hours on a side gig to increase that number by a few percent.

From what I can see, however, there is no straightforward process for this. Online freelancing platforms are a crapshoot. It is impossible to monetize a random open-source library or other similar project. Starting your own consultancy takes a lot of initial effort and capital. Entrepreneurship is even riskier and more time consuming.

For someone in my position who is not looking to quit my job, start a billion dollar company or change the world, just convert some of my spare time into spending money, what is the best solution at present? Has anyone else run into this problem and found something that works?
It's just more blame game. Who you blame is who you hate. Racists blame black people for being poor, anti-abortion activists blame women for being "promiscuous", coastals blame red staters for being stupid backwoods yokels, red staters blame ivy tower socialists or immigrants, liberals blame rich people, socialists blame corporations, conservatives blame government, Islamic terrorists blame the great Satan, on and on.

Hate = blame

Love = forgiveness

Listen and see whom people blame and that's who they hate. See who they apologize for and that's who they love.

Any thoughts on why this topic is so polarized in public discourse and what we can do to unwind it?

It seems like we are in a really unhealthy place where specific medicines are bashed. In the media people are shamed for perusing experimental treatment under their doctors supervision.

Of course people should be cautioned against self diagnosis and self prescription, but surely there is some middle ground. Hopefully one without villianizing patients and doctors.
Oh, I wouldn't be arguing with the ER doctor. I'd be arguing with the billing murderers, like the one that comes in to shake you down for money while in the ER bed.
>"High risk"?

Employees require investment beyond their wage, especially on the front end. If they quit or have to be fired before that pays off, it's a loss for the employer.

You seem to have an idealistic view of what employing someone is like.

Why would you hire a person for minimum wage if they weren't worth that value?

Even worse, they might require supervision / handholding by you or someone else, costing that additional amount as well. Maybe they're clumsy and break things. Maybe they are rude and run off customers.

That all costs money, and it's the tip of the iceberg.

Or they just simply might not be productive enough to cover their cost.

Pretending everyone is worth whatever peg you set as minimum wage is delusional.
What's hilarious about that - is this:

Instead of giving a hospital your insurance info, say "you don't know if you have it, the last one expired" - even if you have insurance they couldn't prove you did "know you had it".

Then get the bill in the mail.

Submit the bill to your insurance company.

Bill gets paid.

I think it sounds daft to think speed of light is a hard speed limit, and there is absolutely a way to "cheat".

Because aliens are here, and they certainly didn't travel at the speed of light to get here. That doesnt work at all. It's way too slow.

My bet is they are extracting energy from space itself, what we call vacuum and we think there is nothing there. And I also think the speed of light only applies to things in our physical universe. Frequently these alien ships blink in and out of our reality. There is much we don't understand as humans.

It's not PGP that is uncracked, PGP is a set of tools built on top of RSA. RSA is still secure (other than brute force factoring) with appropriately sized keys.

The biggest problem with PGP isn't PGP itself, it's your opsec approach to everything else. Example... after decrypting a PGP payload - did you save it to disk unencrypted? Did the recipients to your messages save it unencrypted? Are any machines infected with keyloggers? PGP is a great tool, but still requires good opsec overall.

Antibiotic selection does not have the same dynamics as viral evolution does.

This graphic demonstrates a good example as to the epitope coverage across S by both B-cells and T-cells: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/medrxiv/early/2021/07/05/202...

You would need to have a variant that selects past all of the epitope coverage of both B/T-cell and bypasses affinity maturation too. NTD and RBD already has great coverage, but the rest of the pre-fusion spike confirmation used in vaccines these days has even more coverage than just with RBD alone. I think that's why BNT162b1 failed, as it was a mRNA encoded receptor binding domain only.

Given how large the breadth (as in epitope coverage) already is in RBD alone, you would most likely disrupt ACE2 receptor binding too at the same time if there was a such a massive change all at once to render a vaccine useless.

If you managed to achieve an evolution rate of 250+ AA substitutions extremely quickly, all in one fell swoop, I’d have much much bigger concerns.

A lot of the variants these days select for escape for RBD class 1 and 2 nAbs, even Mu as of now (R346K is in this weird overlap between the different classes as per the Barnes classification).
