McKinsey is awful for helping enable an immoral business practice. The pharma companies engaging in it are also practicing an immoral business practice. And Congress is failing in its duties to reign in the excesses of American capitalism.

As a Bostonian I would disagree, I only purchased a car after 8 years in the city and even then only use it to escape the city.

Depending on how you count there are between 4 and 9 mass transit lines alongside a fairly extensive bus network and commuter rail system.

Granted, if you live in the suburbs you’ll need a car for most activities.

When I was a kid, there was a local amusement park that had a Galaxi roller coaster. My parents took me on a week day, there was no line, and I rode the thing maybe 20 or 30 times in a row.

It was so cosmically satisfying after having to wait in line for hours at Disneyland.
I was on that train for a long time, but I've swung all the way around to the other side now. I want my nav available without me having to take my phone out of my pocket and hook it up (even if it's wireless, which comes with its own issues). Like, I want to sit in the seat, then scroll through recent destinations with a button on the steering wheel and be done.

Also, and this is huge, I want the turns in the HUD. Before you have one, a HUD is a dumb gimmick. I got one on my current car just because that's what was on the lot... and boy oh boy, I'm not going back to looking next to my knee before every turn. Not gonna lie, I'm an average driver at best. I need to be focused on the road at all times. Glancing away is all the time the car in front needs to slam on its brakes.

The trade off is not the absolute, most accurate turn by turn directions; not taking the best and latest traffic into account at all times. But I've also found that I'm not cool with weaving through neighborhoods to save 3 minutes. Putting on a good podcast and sitting on the freeway is okay with me.

My daughter loves to be a princess... Not any particular Disney princess, but loves it..

She also loves to be a doctor, astronaut, grocery store clerk, firefighter, construction worker, chef etc...

I grew up watching non stop Disney, in a family of mostly strong independent women who also loved Disney princesses.

Nothing wrong with the stereotypical fairytales... If you/your child is consumed by it, you need some more exposure to other things

Or they need batteries. Or some other means of energy storage, for that matter; at the scale of a large mining farm, thermal (e.g. heating water) or kinetic (e.g. spinning a flywheel) might be practical.

I am somewhere between these two options, to be reasonably secure without experiencing too many drawbacks: All my software is installed either from Debian repositories, or compiled myself and ran as a application-specific unprivileged user, with no access to X/Wayland when possible. (You could allow yourself to download binaries, but source makes me feel somewhat safer.)

I also run Firefox and VLC in Firejail because they are complex pieces of software that deal with lots of untrusted input, and need access to X/Wayland.
Which damaged capitalism so badly that it gave way to united worker socialism worldwide. Let us never forget.
It's surprising to me how software developers, supposedly very rational, cannot come to the obvious conclusion that the correct coding style is to have unlimited line length and using tabs for indent.

The reason that's the best choice is that it's the approach that provides logical data rather than a specific visual style, allowing people can just configure their editors to do word wrapping to whatever line length they prefer and set tab width to whatever value they prefer (including fractional values!), so it's strictly better than all alternatives.

And if someone doesn't like the editor word wrapping, they can always write an extension or patch for the editor to wrap in whatever syntax-aware way they want.

Also, while for some other bizarre reason it's traditional to program with monospace fonts, there is in fact no reason at all to use them instead of the more efficient proportional fonts, and if you use proportional fonts the concept of a length limit is meaningless.

I mean the vaccine doesn't prevent transmission/infection for Delta (or Alpha) either, it just makes the symptoms milder.

Edit: For whomever downvoted, here you go:

> Prior to the emergence of the delta variant, it was reported that the risk of symptomatic cases in household contacts of vaccinated cases was about 50% lower than that among household contacts of unvaccinated cases(22). However, the impact of vaccination on reducing transmission in the context of the more transmissible delta variant appears to be lower(23).

I can sympathize with someone who isn’t educated or living in a rural area (cut off from the world) or raised in a cult etc. I really can’t believe the lawyers who went to Ivy League colleges are that naive. They’re much smarter than an average guy like me.

I had never thought about using footnotes at all; for decades now, and it seems to work just fine. This seems overly pretentious, but that's just me.
The default in the USA is that nobody has the right to make a copy of something created by someone else. The right to make copies is limited to the creator of the work. We say "the creator owns the copyright".

Since the legal system in the USA (and elsewhere) has "evolved" to consider copyright to be property in most of the same senses as anything else you can own, it follows that copyright can be transferred to others.

You are welcome to disagree with either premise ("no copying of someone else's creation", "right to copy is property") but that's the situation at present, and it's not obviously wrong unless you adopt some philosophical positions that the USA (and most of western Europe) does not (in aggregate) hold.
The last car I owned had Android Auto. I like it a lot and would plug my phone in to get it pretty much every drive.
This reminds me of the thing with musical albums.

Albums are the length that they are because of the technical constraints of the medium: you can only fit so many tracks on a vinyl disk.

However, this constraint has been adopted by musicians as a creative constraint - an album is a "feels right" amount of music for an artist to produce. You can tell a story in an album, fit a narrative arc in that much space.

But, y'know, sometimes you need a double album to tell the story properly. Some stories need more room.

I like 80 lines as a guideline. It feels about right, and fits my eyeballs. But I'm not going to let that stop me if I need more space. Some code demands more space.

Older Android devices supported by PostMarketOS are also never mentioned, such as these Xiaomi devices, with better specs and will be better devices for general usage, I see GNU/Linux on Android as the natural response to my generally seen Linux usage (longevity of hardware and software support for devices you already own, rather than buying new hardware to run linux).

Thank you. I was looking for this.

I don't care if a line needs to be 180 chars if it starts with log.debug. Just like searching, I read my code globally based on the first 10-20 chars. If I need details on a line, I'll read the whole line.

I do however put chained methods on new lines, because they are often a new statement.

And I use 4 spaces for indent, because my IDE is smart enough, it is in my programming language guidelines, and that's what my comapny uses.

Even if we accept this article's assertions, it doesn't say what the solution is AFTER vacuum-induced damage has occurred.

And the primary assertion, that your turbinates are damaged by vacuum induced in your nose when you breathe through your mouth, doesn't make sense. If you're breathing through your mouth, what causes vacuum in your nose? It's being bypassed. Try it yourself.

A fun alternative would be to run this on the desktop and generate a new wallpaper every time your computer starts up (This is not a feature request, though -- you've had plenty of those here already, and since you've helpfully released the code under GPL, I'm sure anyone interested could easily do this conversion on their own end).
Congrats on making something - I wish you luck.

I don’t think blockchain adds anything novel to the functionality you describe. The ability to get a cryptographic hash of a document has existed for a very long time. As have signature files that can be published publicly. As has archive.org. I don’t believe the blockchain adds anything here other than maybe longevity and I’m dubious of even that.

> The biggest reason for higher prices for drugs for Medicare was the prescription drug bill passed under the Bush administration that prevented the government from using its buying power to negotiate prices. I understand that affects only Medicare patients but that became the springboard for other opportunistic pricing employed by all drug companies.

It does no good to always blame those government people for current circumstances. They are just riding on the wave of money like everyone else. The reason for high drug prices is that people continue to pay those prices. Drugs sold in other countries are less expensive than the same drugs sold in the US. Pharma gets paid high prices, because people pay them those amounts.

This! I would say that if there is no simple way to find commercial content (for the location of the potential customer!), the law should treat the case as if the copyright owner waived their right to the copyrighted material.
Not a Buddhist monk, but as a dedicated meditator I can confirm this is true. At least the sensory clarity and ego destroying aspects of acid. The visual hallucinations of fractals are not something I’ve experienced in meditation.
A few years back I got a ~$300 head unit that supports CarPlay to replace the CD/tapedeck in my 2004 truck and it is still streets ahead of any modern first party offerings I’ve seen.

When building distro packages from source, the full revision history of a Git repo is unnecessary.

Imagine doing a high risk, low(ish) paid job where every action you do is now scrutinised and certain politically motivated groups are actively trying to defund you. No wonder they don't feel compelled to intervene.
My nose is almost permanently running or clogged. Eventually I went to see an ENT who sent me for a scan and was surprised to find that I didn't have an inferior turbinate on one side.

When I was younger I smashed my nose and had surgery so either that doctor removed the inferior turbinate during that surgery or I was just born without one.

Either way it seems to have left me in a snotty situation.
> The author blames McKinsey for gaming the system . But what is the system - it is just a list of laws and regulations written by Congress . If Congress finds any kind of gamification-it should change the laws accordingly.

I support this view but I've had a lot of difficulty arguing it. It's similar to tax loopholes- accountants find legal, even if unintended ways to avoid or reduce tax. Government can either close the loophole or let it stand, but the point is that accountants are economically incentivized to find flaws in regulations that can be identified and corrected, so the laws get better. It's a form of arbitrage, and is a feature of a well functioning regulatory system.

Another example is what all the electricity companies were doing in California when deregulation happened. All the Enron tactics of sending power out of state and back in, or bringing down generators to game the prices (this is distinct from the accounting fraud the company was known for, was generally legal, and done by all energy players). The root cause was poor regulation, and energy companies were identifying and demonstrating these flaws in a way that could only happen when there is money to be made. The government response should have been to quickly close the loopholes, but from what I remember, there was a lot of blaming the companies.

It's the same here. People would rather blame an evil company because they are a convenient scapegoat than actually understand the root of the problem.

If you mean Slavs, the Coalition of Communities of Colour actually formally recognises us as people of colour.

European everyday racism feels a bit different than American racism. It's the end result of many cultures interacting over centuries and accruing generational memories of when X group screwed them over. Meaning, everyone is equally racist to one another. Also, it's not based so much on physical race, as on group belonging. For example, often people from within a single country would be prejudiced to one another, based on the specific city one is born in. Depending on how the country borders get redrawn and what the government decides to call the ethnicity of people within them, those relations can technically flip between being racist and not.

Basically, we can be casually racist with each other, because it's between equals. Americans can't, because it's between two groups, one of which used to inflict horrible human rights abuses over the other.
Of course. But there's also rare examples of companies going above and beyond for no immediate gain.

After I took my kids day after thanksgiving for the first time last Friday, I was wondering why this problem simply exists. And how is it possible to pay such big amount of money for outdated experiences that we had.
There is a nice analysis of everything that Disney tried as far as controlling lines:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yjZpBq1XBE

As a person that came from USSR, I see that many of the issues are created by removing money as a control mechanism of supply and demand. If you pay entrance fee and then remove fine tuning for each ride, the result is long lines. My personal opinion is that pay-per-ride is a much better model although I can see how many may disagree. From my childhood in a country where money did not have much meaning, I learned that all-you-can eat mode for a price of entry will be filled with schemes, long lines, and tricks to game the system.
just to check if we are doing the math same way;

650gbp x (365 per year - 30 vacation days) = 217750 gbp

Isn't that already very high? in comparison to some US salary?

"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." - John Adams.

Just to add to this—the reason I find Static TypeScript particularly interesting is that it is a Microsoft project:

https://github.com/microsoft/pxt/tree/master/pxtcompiler

Compiling TypeScript to other targets is a significant challenge, so I think that in order for a project to become a viable alternative, it will need the resources of a big company like MS behind it. However, I'm not sure if MS or any other company currently has a great incentive to invest heavily in that. Running TypeScript on Node or Deno is good enough for most applications, and for apps that require better performance, MS already has C#, which was architected from the start to be performant (for example, allowing apps to use just value types / structs so that the GC isn't used).
There already is both... they're little worlds called websites. Maybe we'll see people migrate back towards smaller forums in the future.
> Despite allegedly being at a fraction of capacity, the place is still uncomfortably jam-packed, with obscene waiting times at most rides. That's indicative of a venue that hasn't reached price equilibrium.

This is exactly how I used to feel at the top ski resorts.

They were extremely expensive, but absolutely jam-packed. Everyone complained that the wait for the lifts was too long, and that there were too many people on the trails.

The only logical way to handle this is to increase the price and use that to thin the crowds.

It's the same thing with Disney.

The only other thing they could do is sell cheap tickets and limit the number of people, so you have to plan years in advance. But these are for-profit companies and not charities, so that approach won't happen.

I'm not saying I agree with it, but this is the free market at work.
