I will keep making the case that violating people's right to engage in voluntary interactions with other consenting adults, is always wrong. The Quakers spent centuries arguing against slavery, and were in the extreme minority for most of that period. Progress sometimes takes time.

I think healthcare would benefit from legalizing the provision of medical service by un-certified individuals, as well as providing more than one tier of certification, where people who can't afford fully certified practitioners, but would like the assurance of some certification, have that option.

Instead of making it illegal for individuals who don't possess full certification to practice medicine, the law could instead require medical practitioners to disclose their level of certification, and any warnings the state provides in relation to that.

So for example, an uncertified doctor/nurse may be required to disclose not only that they are uncertified, but also the warning that the state strongly advises against using uncertified medical practitioners.

Why providing these options is critically important is that sometimes the prescribed institutions fail, and an escape hatch is a life saver. Take this case of a woman in Canada who had to wait two years to get a test that diagnosed her with cancer, because of a shortage of state-licensed doctors:

Society has imposed heavy regulations on the most important industries, and the result is that the most important industries are the most dysfunctional:

Look at what regulations have done to healthcare in the US for example:

https://www.athenahealth.com/knowledge-hub/practice-manageme...

>>Here's some food for thought: The number of physicians in the United States grew 150 percent between 1975 and 2010, roughly in keeping with population growth, while the number of healthcare administrators increased 3,200 percent for the same time period.

*

>>Supporters say the growing number of administrators is needed to keep pace with the drastic changes in healthcare delivery during that timeframe, particularly change driven by technology and by ever-more-complex regulations. (To cite just a few industry-disrupting regulations, consider the Prospective Payment System of 1983 [1]; the Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act of 1996 [2]; and the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Act of 2009.

Smoothly ditching a party they don't feel stimulated by is not the worst strategy in the world. But some people I know have the skill of finding a subject of conversation with practically everyone they meet at a party. One of them has literally talked to British Royalty, yet seemed to have no difficulty holding a conversation with a man with limited education, some substance abuse issues, and assorted other difficulties in life.

It seems to me that this is a valuable skill to aspire to. And if at first glance nobody at the party seems to have anything in common with you — maybe that's all the more of an opportunity to hear about views and experiences outside one's usual circles?

Thanks for the comment. I disagree, so I’m going to rebut you: no.
I'm probably going to get downvoted for being elitist, but here goes...

On the flip side, I have found a startling amount of people genuinely don't have many passions / interests. Skills and talents, sure. But passions - no.

Or I guess if eating foods like cereal and McDoland's counts as a food passion, or watching TV, or working a job you don't actually enjoy - if these count as passions - then I suppose everyone does have interests.

I'm just not inclined to think people are really that passionate about these things - and instead, it's just what they do. Sure - anybody who spends 10 hours a day laying bricks - they're obviously infinitely more skilled in that and related things than someone who doesn't. But a lot of people simply exchange their time for money, and don't particularly love what they do. Most of us HN-ers do, and we forget how rare that is.

I think some of us on here forget how close we have it to a life of leisure compared to the average person (ESPECIALLY globally). I know a lot of people that pretty much have no time for anything besides work and family.

And I hope that all people like this LOVE at least their work or their family. But in reality, I know A LOT of people trapped in a life where they genuinely dislike both. And that's pretty much their whole life.

Gonna take a wild guess, Cities Skylines? I upgraded from a 1600x/GTX1060 system to a 10th-gen-i7/RTX 2080 system and I still can't get higher than 35fps. A city with 3k citizens and a city with 100k citizens may run at 35fps and 32fps respectively. Though I can run it with supersampling at 250% now and my GPU still doesn't bottleneck it (300% supersampling is what finally cracks my fps, jumping from 30
-ish to 5).

It's so weird to me, the game is definitely CPU bound, I would imagine it's almost all because of AI. So I would expect performance to decline linearly as my city grows. But it doesn't. It's frustrating when I'm playing a small town, but also pretty amazing when I'm playing a big metropolis.

It was really not enough.

Remember that the IP layer exists for the purpose of routing and aggregation. Instead of tracking the current location of every machine on the planet, we bundle them into networks, and then bundle those networks together, and then bundle those bundles together too, and so on. There are maybe something like 10 billion devices that are either on the internet or that want to be on it, but with all the aggregation we're only tracking about a million routes at the global level.

This aggregation is critical for allowing the internet to scale to planetary size... but it also results in the vast majority of the addresses in the address space not being assigned to any end machine. In other words, having N in-use addresses needs a lot more than log_2(N) bits of address space.

There's likely to be less than 2^64 devices on the internet in the long run, so if we could assign one address to each of them and not have to worry about routing table sizes, then a 64-bit address space probably would be enough. But that doesn't describe IP addresses... it describes MAC addresses. And MAC addresses are in fact 64 bits long for new L2 protocols today.

Since L3 needs aggregation, which results in most L3 addresses being unused, it follows that we need more than 64 bits of L3 address space to handle the 2^64 devices that the 64-bit L2 addresses can handle.
I ended up using Pulsar music player, only because we were camping and a friend send me the apk via bluetooth (I was a spotify person before I started heavily going out).

It simply worked for my old folderwise-kept mp3s etc, and it also displays embedded lyrics in the mp3 files which was a killer feature.

It's not that I love this app dearly, it's just that it got the job done and didn't need replacement.

OpenBSD does something similar but in a reverse manner. It's called Kernel Address Randomized Link (KALR).

What it does is bundling kernel object files into an archive, which is linked at boot time to form the final kernel image. Note that the link order is randomized each time the kernel boots, since KALR is a security vulnerability mitigation designed to thwart exploitation attempts.

You miss the point. The basic unit of ASCII v2 (aka 'Unicode') should have been the codepage, not the codepoint. Having a stateful stream of codepage-symbol pairs is not a problem - in practice, all Unicode encodings ended up being stateful anyways, except in a shitty way that doesn't help to encode any semantic information.

Is it possible to hand the Virgil compiler a mix of source and binaries, or does the compiler demand that your whole program exist in source form? I don't doubt that modern compilers running on modern computers can hold the IR of nontrivial programs in RAM at once, but that technical aspect isn't the only reason we build programs out of preexisting binaries: If you want your program to use the tuned algorithms in LAPACK, they're written in Fortran 90. Other libraries are written in tuned assembly language. And even that's ignoring the fact that, sometimes, source isn't available for legal or financial reasons.

Thanks for the tip! I didn't know of that dictionary. In this case that's still ambiguous though as it doesn't indicate whether this discharged material is infectious or not, but perhaps then the word is simply ambiguous.

The funny part is that everyone needs to start from scratch as a user in most all communities now. They also have to rebuild the entire fort with every new community that starts, it's a lot of wasted work time (without any sort of reward, except for the platform). They could very well be a scholar of science, but if they're enrolling a new account, unless they're buddies with the founders, it's very hard to endure the years it takes to build karma (or to achieve rank in whatever silly merit system that a new community has) on top of enduring arguments with imbeciles, fakers, and being called a "noob" by your unwitting colleagues until you earn credit enough to get permabanned for a comment you made on a meme or on some other part of the site because the mods didn't like the format of your post title.

There has got to be a better way of doing this... Too much "king of the hill" and "payola" mentality on communities that call themselves "fair and credible" these days, and the time/creator investment loss is huge if you consider time invested to achieve any level of credibility and/or voice on social sites.

I have found that my own (personal and business) web sites are usually the best place to post content, my opinions, and maintain user accounts I don't want to lose, and where I can build a far better/more reliable audience than I could ever do on social media and other community sites for over the past 5 years really.

I hope that type of individual web site culture and related indexing comes back. An app or web site that enables seamless integration of personally owned web sites into it in a socially integrated manner would be a much better long-term solution/idea for all social communities in my opinion. I'd develop something like that myself, but would need tons more funding and human resources beyond what I'm working with currently (of course).

This is pseudo-science garbage. People with ADHD have an imbalance in the levels of dopamine and norepinephrine in their brain (along with hyper efficient mop-up of dopamine and other abnormalities with norepinephrine.)

That aside, from what I can tell, you are pointing out that Indian people have caste preferences on matrimony sites. That doesn’t strike me as particularly offensive. Why is it any different from the general, and very widespread desire to marry someone who shares your culture? I don’t view that as an “obsession” as much as an important part of sharing a common experience with a life partner.

The parent comment you’re replying to on the other hand, is making the point that there is an unexpected and disproportionate negative focus on caste from Western people, who have little familiarity with the language, culture, history, and experiences that they are critiquing. The West had a long history of being unreasonably judgmental of other cultures despite shallow familiarity and understanding. That’s probably true of humans in general as well.

Yes, you can reiterate.
I am trying to formalise this with Cosmopolitan Identifiers (https://obua.com/publications/cosmo-id/3/). These identifiers consist of words and symbols. Symbols are normalised based on how they look like, and so Latin / Cyrillic / Greek symbols that look alike are mapped to the same symbol. Words are normalised differently, so that "Tree" and "tree" map to the same normal form. As a symbol, "T" and "t" are obviously different. I am not totally happy with the concept yet, I have implemented a fourth, simpler iteration of that concept as a Typescript package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/cosmo-id .

One of the problems is, how do you distinguish symbols and words? A simple way to do this is to classify something as a symbol if it is just a single character, and as a word otherwise. For example, "α-β" would consist of two symbols, separated by a hyphen, but "αβ" is a word and normalised to "av" based on some convention on how to "latinise" greek words.
FOSS eliminates more uncertainty than price “supply” uncertainty. Since it’s free, you don’t have to know the “demand” value it provides to make a good purchase. Furthermore, you can always add features you need.

All of this uncertainty is easy to deal with if you have a nice API. Swapping out databases, for example, is (in theory) near-zero cost. If the database vendor tells you they are charging more, it’s somewhat simple to switch (unlike, say, ad-hoc logging).
Just nonsense. “Natural immunity” is another one of those amazing shibboleth words for those who don’t understand probabilities. It’s kind of amazing how innumerate most antivax people are.

Curiously alcohol is one of the worst drugs in any scale. The world worked with drugs before the "war on drugs", and things like opium, cocaine, marihuana... were consumed by tons causing less troubles than alcohol.

Opium was seen as the main reason behind chinese inmigrants to the USA being better workers than whites (XIX), so it was outlawed. Of course, the narrative was that opium was evil (you can even read things like chinese men lured white women to opium dens to made them slaves).

I prefer to avoid drugs, legal or not. But the war on drugs, any drugs, makes zero sense to me. It's a shame that drugs that were known to treat e.g. depression were outlawed because "say no to drugs", and further research effectively halted for decades.

Even today, when a new substance is discovered and used for "fun" is immediately outlawed. If you want fun, your only legal option is alcohol, even when we know it's way worse than, say, ecstasy or acid.
Most implementations are focused on oAuth to establish identity, but the test of your application's security begins after authentication. The major portion is authorization i.e., verifying access to operations and data accessed with those operations. Isolating clients' data from each other, delegating access to portion of data to apps or users, having hierarchy of descendant users with varying access rights to both operations & data, and similar real-world SaaS/enterprise system scenarios are something left to the application authors to figure out. You usually get guidance to slap roles as authorization, and sometimes permissions, but the recommendations will avoid venturing to as far as including key data as part of the authorization construct, because that may seem too application specific, but it is not. An activity-based Data-aware authorization system [0] can perfectly handle various complicated scenarios.
