The problem is that "market" is a really bad fit for meeting healthcare needs, and doubly so when it's intermediated by insurers. People get the amount of healthcare they can afford from their discretionary budget and work their insurers for - not the amount they need. So they may get "more" (or at least more expensive) care than they need, or less.

Note that many of the European systems are semi-private, so you retain choice of providers. It doesn't need to be a full state-run system, which is vulnerable to undercapacity (which the UK is currently suffering from).

There's also an informational problem; in a fully free speech environment it's much easier to sell people unreliable cures, Theranos passim.
I envy those somewhat insensible people in this thread, because it shows they probably never felt something close to this. It's not something I would wish upon anyone, that's for sure. The questionable diet advice is likely the only thing they can sympathize (or "antipathize"?) and pick up upon Hacker-news style.

Apart from the dieting advice, for me the flowchart was actually pretty useful, specially for someone that ends up paralized when you have too many small chores to do. Then you go through the day smelling like shit, with the house looking like crap and every hour you just feel worse for not having done that yet.

I'm thinking of printing a flowchart in the style of these questions to help me through the mornings. And thanks for the "emotional wheels" tip, it does seem like something that would help me

I definitely agree that the second issue is tricky to get right.

But for your first point, that wouldn't seem to make much sense given the time investment from the company as well. It takes time to review take home tests, much more time than it takes to review a resume or even for a recruiter to have a quick phone call with the candidate. So why would they send out a test to someone first?

I've usually seen something more like this, which I think generally works fairly well:

1. Initial resume screening
2. Quick phone call with the recruiter
3. Usually some kind of technical call/interview with developer(s), engineering manager or similar, at the very least some discussion of experience and background
4. Send out the test, review it, call the candidate back in to discuss if they want to
5. Probably some other stage at the end
The main problem I have with all these papers is that they don't compare to the rates of symptoms from having had Covid.

A lot of the idiocy these kinds of papers cause would be muted if you could point at the paper and say "Probably of X from vaccine--N%. Probability of X from Covid--N+M%."

Of course, if the probability of X is less than with Covid--that's important to know, as well. It defines which vaccines we should be administering.
To be honest he is somehow right. It's magic for everyone but for people with ADHD (like me or you) it gets us to the level of normal people. For normal people is giving them nearly superhuman focus. I don't think the theory that stimulants are working somehow very different for us than for normal people is valid. But that of course is my opinion.

> What would be your alternative?

A good starting point would be more balanced articles also talking about downsides or not-so-secure/-private defaults; not only in case of XMPP but in case of any instant messaging protocol or ecosystem.

Instead of claiming, "XYZ is secure because it supports TLS," articles should also mention what this means in terms of limitations (e.g., TLS protects data in transit, so server-side parties can still access the data) or defaults (e.g., only a subset of servers/clients support certain security features). While such things might be obvious to tech-savvy users, non-technical people don't understand this. They only read, "secure" and "private" and then assume, "Oh, it's secure and private, so I migrate to XYZ." In reality, "secure" and "private" aren't fixed states that you can identify by looking at some features.
You’re at a 30x (minimum) increased risk, as well as running a 0.5-2% chance of dying depending on your state of health. If you’re less than 18, you have a higher risk of type 1 OR type 2 diabetes. Anyone who willingly runs that risk in the light of a (let’s face it, extremely safe) alternative is making some sort of strange calculus that is not in any way rational

To add to this, for the last year I've been sticking to a low-carb, one-meal-a-day diet with intermittent 5 day fasts every couple of months. I've been feeling great and I've foud although I really look forward to my daily meals I don't feel like I need a meal to function either mentally or physically any more.

Over Christmas my family brought me quite a lot of chocolate and as it was Christmas I figured it wouldn't be a bad idea to take the week off my diet and allow myself to enjoy some sweets and carbs over the holidays. However after consuming a few bars of chocolate on Christmas day I felt terrible... I'm not sure exactly what was going on, but I felt similar to how I feel after fasting for 5 days. Weak, light headed, a little nauseous, etc... I read online somewhere that when you're very insulin sensitive spiking your insulin levels with sweets and chocolate can cause your body to quickly pull out excess sugar from the blood and this can then cause a temporary dip in blood sugar levels. Not 100% sure if this is correct, but apparently there are other people who practise low-carb diets who experience a similar thing to me. That experience really highlighted to me how bad sugar probably is for us, it's just that most of us don't realise it because our bodies have adjusted to being bombarded with sugary, high-carb foods for so long.

It's also crazy how many people think I'm doing some radical diet too... I get it's extreme compared with Western norms, but it seems kinda obvious for most of our evolution we wouldn't have been eating and snaking on sugary, high-carb foods throughout the day... The fact it's considered extreme for me to eat a large single meal consisting of vegetable, fruit and meat once a day probably goes to show how bad diets considered "healthy" by Western standards is. My parents for example genuinely just think eating a varied diet is all you need to be healthy, and sure, that might help mitigate nutritional deficiencies, but it really doesn't matter what you're eating, over-eating simply isn't good for your health. They refuse to accept this though saying a normal person needs at least 3 meals a day to function well, but again I think this just goes back to how broken our diets are and how dependant most people are on carbs to function optimally.
If you care about security you will have setup your own node package registry with a curated/audited list of dependencies, then you need to point to the registry for the dependencies and maintain the registry.

With deno it should be easier to do this, you setup your own cdn, just upload plain js files and point it from your import map[1], the browser will take care of download/cache them all.

It was on borrowed time anyway. The OTA was a threat to the fiefdom of literally every other agency. Their job was to butt in and ruin everyone's gravy trains of "not quite graft".

Imagine the OTA weighing in on the recent net neutrality shitshow. Wouldn't have made the FCC look to smart would it have? That same threat existed for every agency and congress and the executive. Literally everyone wanted them gone.

Is that so? The pandemic seems far from over. I think it is a little early to draw any conclusions.
True... but that might be hard to make suggestions.

Yes, definitely not true for all programmers. I guess with games, if you cannot get real time with instant compiles development experience with 120fps running 8k in debug mode, there is a room for improvement.

I compared highend 2010 desktop to highend 2021 laptop on my use case (which is arguably much lighter). And for my workloads, the laptop is no more a limiting factor (which is great, but not a leap from 2010 desktop). I can imagine todays desktops could be much better compared to todays highend laptops, but it feels like the most of what I do, there is little reasons to upgrade. Which is also great. With Macs the latest macOS support is removed usually from 5 years old machines, but that feels mostly baseless from technical perspective as with hacks you can still run the latest just fine.

Perhaps it is a nostalgia / romancy. Having a 12 years old machine as you daily workhorse where upgrade was not a leap. That is something I haven’t seen before, and I have been in this industry since 90ies and a PC user since 80ies.
Why not just App.run(Object &Args?) ?

Not sure what the other poster means by 'extremely hard to get'. Ask for it at the counter at any pharmacy and there you go. Maybe they're referring to it not being available at the counter in supermarkets? (Whereas paracetamol is.)

I don't know what you're going through but I feel you, stay strong. Yesterday the stress and anxiety built up to a point where I had to let it out and cried a bit. It's a cycle that repeats every couple of weeks. I'm thinking about getting in touch with a psychologist, I don't want to develop depression or anxiety issues.

Local health insurance companies don't cover oncology drugs. Also, they pay 4x less than what I'm getting now (I'm in a small South American country).
Well, it's a major newspaper in that a large portion of the population believe what they write (generally the same segment that get the other half of their "news" from their facebook feed).

Their readership consists mostly of nationalist oriented types with more than a healthy skepticism of vaccines, masks and experts.
This is an obvious attempt by the newspaper to endear itself to its readers by "picking their side".

I find when I have a strong negative or positive reaction and subsequent outburst, that I have some form of conditioned behaviour. This is usually a sign that I should try and catch that reaction, find the cause, and try to analyze link.

At least this is how I view it--the keys are: 1) strong reaction, 2) try to find out why I have a strong reaction.

Yes, that’s my doubt as well. Until we have more unbiased studies coming out, we can’t determine the impact of these side effects.

The problem with pro-vaccine propaganda is that it tells you to blindly listen to the science. The problem with that is “the science” is controlled by commercial interests and profit margins. It’s like telling everyone democracy is the One True Way and we end up in last-stage capitalism.

No. If you start forcibly moving people in those numbers out from some of the real estate that we've invested 100's of years of hard work and income into then that number will not stay about constant. These are the most productive parts of our planet that we're talking about.

It might be regional, but I think "soft drink" or ""fizzy drink" are far more common. I can't recall the last time I heard "pop" used in this sense.

Is your body designed for swimming? Or for going on a bike? I don't think so. These are modes of exercise we invented (even when we aren't optimally designed for them) and yet they are good for us. If you followed the "primitive people did it/did not do it" argument you'd have to say that going swimming must be bad for you.
> with the result that no one could take away these ingame items from the buyer ever again

That is one result, the bigger picture is that the strategies centralized owners of those items use to make profits at the expense of each user would go away.

You are correct that an issue exists between completely hard-coded ownership on the blockchain and subjective creation of items in a game, but perhaps ruminate over some roadblocks. If a 'set' of items represented by NFTs is valued by a large group of users, then developers which do not integrate those items fairly enough will suffer users.

In this case it will not be the game developers controlling the items, it will be artists who sell the raw NFT which becomes integrated. This leads to all sorts of other little issues that aren't as fun to dunk on, but you should at least steel-man the concept.

Furthermore, your example of cosmetic items is the weakest example. Items which offer in-game functionality first and foremost, and are released according to semi-predictable mechanisms are the stronger case. Just like Bitcoin prevents unwanted malicious activity from allowing forks, so to must the game(s) which use these items. I'm not convinced it's so impossible to have an open source game built around the items rather than the other way around. An extremely simple RPG is a MVP.

Of course the visible community around NFT's today is completely ill-fitted for such a project, but like all things crypto on HackerNews, detractors often mistake the loudest sales-pitch for the best possible outcome. If you want to make a strong case against the merits of crypto, focus less on projects who spend their effort on marketing and more who spend their effort on development.
> He seems to reject the premise on the grounds that it's sometimes inconvenient

His argument is that if you consider dual licensing to be immoral because it enables the development of proprietary software, then to be logically consistent, you must also consider non-copyleft FOSS licenses such as BSD/MIT to be immoral because they do the same to an even greater extent. Stallman does not say that dual licensing undermines free software, he only says that it does not support free software as much as copyleft licensing does.

The FSF only uses copyleft licenses for software instead of non-copyleft FOSS licenses or dual licensing, sidestepping this issue entirely. They don't have a problem if people use BSD/MIT, so they also don't have a problem if people use dual licensing.
Indeed, this tool is quite annoying.

Hashing of modules is already established practice. So you would be affected by this if you have 0 tests, not even auditing is necessary.
I'm not anti mask but people are way too dismissive of the damage done to children who have to wear masks all the time. Especially when it comes to socializing, learning facial cues, and being able to express emotions.

We really have dropped the ball and turned valid concerns by parents into a political finger pointing shit storm.
The issue that I take with this website (and by the looks of things, many other people do, too) is that it's assuming _there is no way you cannot be eating anything right now_ without being hungry (there was no option for, "no, and I'm not hungry").

Their advice is: "You feel like shit? Eat some food." I have an issue with that, and I'm surprised you do not.
I would really like to hear the story told by a product manager about this... and learn about the discussions with the engineers on this :)

Yes, motivated people will try all kinds of things, but that's not guarantee for success. And usually we're talking about problems at a completely different scale, how we deal with one like this we do not know but if the pandemic is any indication then you have a nice sample of what a response could look like and how effective it will be.

The big mistake is that we try to solve global problems with local control.

-Salad.
-Boxed mashed potatoes
Depressed people do often have problems at this level. It helps sometimes to deal with the basic trivialities of life when more complex issues are having their way with you.
Counter point: the NHS in the UK has more government involvement than the US healthcare system.

The NHS (despite fairly extreme under-funding) has better health outcomes for patients than in the US.

“Better outcomes” needs more detail:

Medical bankruptcies per year: ~200k in US, ~0 in UK. Caveat: bankruptcies often don’t have one clear root cause, the other ~600k bankruptcies per year in the US may or may not have an aspect of healthcare costs.

Cost of triple bypass heart surgery: US: $110,000, UK: £8,500 (paid by the taxpayer, not by the patient at the point of care - free for them). (P.s. private healthcare is available in the UK too - the procedure costs around £20,000 privately, payable by the patient or their insurance)

Life expectancy… you get the idea.
If you change "contain" to "do", then this is the MAC security model as implemented by SELinux.

> How should that be possible if OMEMO is enabled (which is the default in more modern clients)?

See https://infosec-handbook.eu/articles/xmpp-aitm/#t5

TL;DR: XMPP clients can't distinguish between legitimate and injected messages, even if OMEMO is enabled. The XMPP client just displays injected messages as an unencrypted message from the sender.
The only feedback I have is that, if I was feeling like shit or in a depressed mood then having to click through all those prompts would probably p*ss me off even more.

Yes, the causation is poorly disentangled. He says:

"In our research, those who followed [a healthy, Mediterranean style diet] were 1.4 times more likely to have good night’s sleep and 35 percent less likely to have insomnia."

One naturally thinks "people who have healthy diets probably also make other healthy lifestyle choices, which may be the cause of the better sleep".

But this is never addressed.
Not necessarily. An obese person would know that feeling well without eating constantly throughout the day is not only possible but necessary. It is depressing to think otherwise...

Market is a fine fit for every healthcare need that doesn't start with a trip to the ER which is the overwhelming majority of healthcare dispensed in the US.

Using insurance, government or some other centralizing layer (e.g. the church) for routine activity would raise massive "you're pissing money away" red flags in literally any other context. We shoehorn so much economic activity (healthcare) though a middle man (insurers) and then act surprised that they take a fat cut. The solution isn't to government-ize the middle man. That will almost certainly just be a wash. It's to get rid of the middle man where possible.

There's no reason someone shouldn't be able to get a physical or a colonoscopy the same way cosmetic surgery and dental care are done. These are cookie cutter outpatient services. The deviation from instance to instance is small and predictable so insurance should not be needed on the consumer side.
