How can this be normal? In my country (in Europe) you pay a small fee to access hospitals (between 0 and 15$). Health is public and free although you are free to choose a private hospital.
A good health insurance with a nice coverage that gets you access to private hospitals costs around $50 per month.
This doesn't mean that there aren't problems, public hospitals some time have long waiting lines. Nevertheless, paying 700 can't be normal in any circumstance

I think this argument is similar to advocacy for metric vs imperial - yeah, it probably makes sense, but the current system is workable enough that the pain of living with it is less than the pain of transitioning from it. IOW, nobody really cares enough about it but it’s fun to gripe about. Also, Firefly shouldn’t have been cancelled.
Because literacy and numeracy are necessary but not sufficient for an educated polity. A good understanding of society, of history, of philosophy, and more all factor in. As do good critical thinking skills.

> 1. If Signal does implement something like this, are they under gag orders so wouldn't be able to inform users?

I would guess not. At least if you mean gag-orders as used in the US by NSA etc.

That's because this would be a law, and not a "friendly favor" asked for by the police. A law is at least under public scrutiny in contrast to fisa orders etc.

Another question is whether EU police already is issuing gag based surveillance orders today. I'd like to know the answer to that too.

I would expect computers from the Apple refurbished store are indistinguishable from brand new the vast majority of the time.

Third-party refurbishers would be a different ball game altogether.
I'm not taking the bait. As far as I'm concerned, CPI methodology is a truism worthless by itself. Like saying "goods and services cost money". If you want to argue the specific numbers issued by the government are representative of the evolving purchasing power of the dollar, you have to do the work to prove it.

What goods, what weights, what substitutions?
The power to veto is not a farce.

Lawmakers have no problem making software illegal [1].

They don’t have to prevent a 100%. They may just decide to police and punish.

> More importantly, what if users just use pgp in emails, etc.?

The same stupid arguments about lawful access (=back doors) [2] come up again and again. But that does not ensure it won’t become law some day. If users continue to use secure tools above policing and punishing applies.

This is somewhat the point of "title insurance" in the US. In this case the buyer would be protected since technically the real owner never actually sold the property.
Blackbird Studios | We're hiring Fullstack Developers and PMs | Remote within US only | Contract to hire

Blackbird is a San Francisco based digital software studio that specializes in a Human Centered “Build, Measure, Learn” approach to launching totally new, high-impact software products for a wide variety of public and private sector clients, from early stage startups to Fortune 50 companies. We don’t do marketing sites! We build complex, cool, interactive fullstack web and mobile applications that are fun to build, challenging, and that people use every day. We work directly with brands or through partnerships with some of the top design studios in the world (like IDEO).

Blackbird is very different from most other software studios. We operate in very collaborative and strategic relationships with our clients and partners which gives us a uniquely strategic seat at the table and the opportunity to regularly deep dive into a new interesting understanding of our client's business, then build, launch, and evolve new software products from the ground up.

Our teams include CTO consulting, Software Development, UX/UI, training and capabilities building, and "Build, Measure, Learn" Product Management. We work with large and small companies/startups on projects ranging from 2-12 months with 2-7 people on each project. We build full stack web, mobile, IoT, physical installations, etc. Our favorite stack is React, React Native, GraphQL, and Rails. We also use a wide range of other tech as needed since we face a pretty diverse set of challenges. Recent and upcoming examples: Node, Flutter, .Net, Drupal, Elixir/Phoenix, Swift, and Kotlin.

We are looking for people who are excited about building great software products, who are great teammates, and who are passionate about continuously refining best practices for creating successful digital products. Experience in dev team leadership, new product development, collaboration with business and design stakeholders, and consulting experience are not required but are all huge plusses.

We are a remote-first company but with very active collaboration on video and Slack, plus occasional travel to San Francisco and other locations is part of the job for project kickoffs and other critical collaboration phases or meetings.

Interested? We want to hear from you! Please send resume, Github, or LinkedIn to jobs@blackbird.us. I am a founder so ask me anything! If there are other aspects of what we do that interest you definitely still hit me up!

BSD development is not cathedral but more POSIX and technical but agree to point of Linux being Bazaar or business focus have got more attention
I want to wake up earlier and want the clocks to trick everyone else into also doing so, which is the only way I'll be able to get away with it.

Gotta coordinate things like this, otherwise it won't happen.
Keeping DST year round just seems so crazy. If "midday" and "midnight" no longer approximate the middle of the day and night then what is even the point of time zones?

The reason we don't all use UTC is because it is useful to be able to figure out roughly what time of day it is somewhere else on the planet. If we collectively agree that is no longer necessary then we are giving up a fundamental part of timekeeping.

If you want an example of how crazy this is, just look to China, which only has a single time zone. It is so large that in some parts of the country the sun doesn't set until "midnight".

Time actually means something, don't mess with it.
Aerodynamics is a weird voodoo science. Everything gets non-linear so fast in a moving compressible fluid. Sometimes a smooth surface can be draggy, where a sharp one isn't, just because a bump upstream from that location causes a vortex that needs to be disrupted. Sometimes a small divot can improve performance radically because it moves the flow boundary away from the surface.

I wouldn't be surprised if some Aero Wizard came up with a way to make a brick aerodynamic with some magic ducting and a spoiler.
A technique for producing ideas: James Webb Young's 5-step plan
It's the advantage of centralization. Instead of every entity changing their operational hours, they peg it to a common standard, and simply change the standard. It's a layer of indirection.

By doing it this way, we keep things in synch, like business hours matching school hours matching transit timetables and so on. If every one of them changed their hours separately, we'd have a much greater mess than the less-bad current approach to daylight time.

Whether we want the functionality at all (to adjust human activities based on sunlight hours) is a separate question. Given that we do, DST is a useful abstraction compared to going without it.
There are enough dists which don't support which.
Having gone through the purchase and sale of houses I'm honestly confused at how this happens. It involves a ton of paperwork, phone calls and in-person appointments, generally.

If there is a mortgage on the property, the bank holds the title. The bank has a relationship with the owner. How did the bank sign off on the transfer of funds and title? They'd have to verify the identity of the seller.

If there was no mortgage, at least in the US some bank normally holds onto the title on behalf of the owner so the same applies.

There would need to be a settlement process where the sale proceeds (minus mortgage repayment) needs to be paid to the seller. What happened here?

Being aware of the possibility of fraud, banks can and do make simple checks in my experience. A simple phone call with the contact details on record would've probably prevented this.

In addition the Land Registry authorizing title transfer, the bank would have to be on the hook here too. It's a colossal screw up and a huge nightmare for the owner to deal with but I imagine restitution will be made.

It sounds like he probably won't get his house back. I assume the buyer acted in good faith. It sure does suck though.
Ironic shitposting is still shitposting.
In the US, the buyer is often required to purchase title insurance which would likely cover fraudulent transfer.[0]

Yeah, i've worked with SVN projects both in office and in open source projects and i use it for a couple of my own projects where i have a lot of binary files (the common alternative to this with git is something like git-lfs but that is essentially sticking a cvcs into a dvcs while pretending you are only using the dvcs... and when it comes to dvcs i prefer fossil anyway) and i never really saw anything wrong with SVN. I might have been lucky, but that is a luck that goes back decades :-P

They say that, but don't really justify that claim. That's more about string literals that do something other than just display, such as URLs.

There is a difference between "not noticing" and "not important".
The local time of sunrise and sunset depends not only on latitude but also on the difference between local solar time and the local time zone’s time.

According to http://blog.poormansmath.net/how-much-is-time-wrong-around-t..., that difference can exceed 90 minutes in Spain and even over 3 hours in western China. That’s the price they pay for China having a single time zone (that apparently was introduced by Mao Zedong, to show the country was unified)

For the lawyers:

Can't a lawyer wishing to have these professors testify as expert witnesses merely motion for them to be subpoenaed?

As far as I know, then by law the expert witnesses must testify else risk contempt of court, thereby negating whatever "bar" that the university seems fit to impose.
I understand your pain from user perspective. What i meant is if more hardware developers or contributors were happening to BSDs then you might have choosen BSDs over Linux.
There's also the problem of lumping together cities at different latitudes. The summer time is aligned ideally with one region, at the cost of other regions following suit and having to wake up at night.

Ideally, each region would have their summer time adapted to their latitude, but that would be more chaotic than simply scrapping it.

The us doesn't have centralized land registries.

While the counties record titles as a matter of convenience, the true title is determined by the courts.

Other countries have centralized registries so that if the country's database says X piece of land is owned by Y, that's final. In the us it can be litigated and title insurance comes into play for the buyer who purchased it fraudulently.

Because since not everyone can improve their immune function, nobody should, right? Messaging otherwise would be ableist or give people an idea that they could do something aside from hunkering down, and that's more important than reducing hospitalizations and saving lives...
There’s no one answer or methodology that answers all needs. CPI isn’t perfect but does capture a consistent and balanced view of inflation.

I know for my family, the only significant inflation factor is food. I have a short commute and fixed mortgage. For my family members who live in the exurbs, fuel costs are very impactful.

Rural inflation isn’t captured well because rural areas have been depopulating.
Are there any actual UNIX’s still out there and maintained. I know OSX is technically certified, and AIX still probably has support. I’m not sure if HP-UX died with PA-RISC or if it ever found it’s way to today’s common architectures.
If you examine a clear incandescent bulb, you will see that the support for the filament is hollow and has a tube inside extending down. This little "straw" is the point of connection for evacuation where the air is removed and then back-filled with argon. The argon coaxes the tungsten back onto the filament preventing rapid sputtering which would happen in a pure vacuum. After the argon the little tube is heated until it hits melting point and crimped off for a near perfect hermetic seal. The argon pressure is still well below atmosphere so the bulb is still considered under "vacuum" compared to atmosphere.
GitHub keeps getting better for open source maintainers
You can now prevent drive-by pull request approvals and requested changes as a maintainer of an open source project.
Unless the house/land is not yet registered, I believe that the land registry is supposed to be the ultimate authority and deeds are just piece of papers. Ai think you can always argue ownership in a curt of law of course.
One likely has a chance at actually happening.

When it comes to (possible) advantages, it depends on the context.
