What I want is going to the doctor to be more personal, more like it was in the 90s.

Right now I go to the doctor, and they stare at the computer and take notes for 20 minutes before they can even actually look at me or look at at why I came in.

Just dot the room with mics and record our conversations or something if you need it logged.
What is the difference of a company using an NFT for tracking ownership accross multiple applications, instead of just maintaining it in their database? The NFT will still have to reference something internal to the company, and the minting costs will make this NFT prohibitive

Why wouldn't a company just try to do something like steam marketplace?
Neat! I don’t have it handy, but years ago I scrapped the states traffic page and then made time lapses from them. One of the road segments had a bad sensor that would toggle into a stuck state.

>AFAIK its not one person being paid more than another thats the issue.. its those that are paid because they were born with money and add nothing to society that i think bothers people.

Sure, but how many wealthy people inherited their wealth and contribute nothing? It's actually a tiny fraction. It is quite common for people from better off backgrounds to be more successful, but arguably that's result of the previous generation investing in their kids and benefiting society as a result. Most doctors come from above average wealth families for example, but we want good doctors, right? The solution to that problem is better public education, not taxing the rich into the ground.

I can't imagine anyone here thinks idle trust fund babies are a wonderful benefit to society, there's a good argument for steep inheritance taxes, but equally it's not actually a significant problem in our economy. It's just a hot button topic that upsets people, but it's really a distraction.
It involved a fair amount of research and there were many technical challenges. Maintaining backwards compatibility in terms of language features and single-threaded performance puts constraints around what you can implement. Also from my personal experience, debugging segfaults in parallel programs that could be caused by GC bugs is a painstaking process.

We've written a couple of papers detailing the internals and the trade-offs involved: https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.11663 (for parallelism) and https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.00250 (for effects)

Added to that is the complexity of tracking a moving target. Multicore had to be rebased through 12 releases of OCaml, which in itself was a non-trivial amount of work.
Preventative care in the US isn't expensive or hard to get for most patients. Under the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) there are a wide range of preventive services that must be covered at no cost to the patient. While some coverage gaps remain, those plans cover the majority of US residents.

Exactly. The NYT had some breathless story about this supposedly once secret fact. Yet their own management was pushing back hard on the Wirecutter union.

If the management wanted to really confuse the line workers, they would celebrate the union with some reverse reverse psychology.
Ok, that's a nicer result (obviously I don't write Python lol) but still seems inconsistent to me (putting the function before the array) considering Python is an OO language and most people are going to be writing methods for classes where you call methods with dot. I just remember list comprehensions from Coffee-script and not going to lie, I hate them. It's like reading backwards.
Agreed. Very scary

One thing to note about US healthcare is that it seems almost deliberately engineered to not be a market.

I've never received significant health care in another country, so I can't say how the US system differs from others with any expertise. But I can say how US health care differs from just about anything else I spend money on:

1. I don't really get to shop for health insurance providers. My employer picks one, maybe two plans, and I can take it or leave it. If I leave it, I am leaving at least $10,000/year on the table, so I generally take it.

2. Even when I am on the market, the phenomenon in #1 does weird things. Once upon a time, when I was choosing my own health insurance, I started a new job with health insurance benefits that I did choose to take. But my start date was toward the beginning of the month, my old insurance wouldn't let me do a partial month, and the new employer wouldn't let me delay opting for coverage. So I was essentially forced to own two health insurance plans simultaneously for a period of time.

3. Nobody knows what care will cost ahead of time, which makes it impossible for me to make any informed economic decisions. I need to see a physical therapist. I called a few places to shop for prices. They all know what the rate for uninsured people is, but the only way we can find out what it will cost with my insurance is if I receive care, they submit a claim, and then we all find out together what the price was, after the fact.

4. #3 creates a situation where they can hide all sorts of excessive charges. When my first child was born, I got lessons on how to give him a bath and change his diaper. Both of which I already knew; I was really just going along with the lessons to be polite. I certainly wouldn't have said yes if the hospital had been transparent and up-front about the price tag on this lesson: about $2,000.

5. And sure, insurance covered most of it... but that didn't make it free; it just means the price was amortized over a large number of health insurance premiums. Unfortunately, I think that this setup makes it all too easy for us to think of these things as free, which, in turn, reduces public scrutiny over where the money comes from or where it goes.

And it just keeps going like that. Compare with signing up for cell phone service. It's a famously sleazy business, but, even with all the hidden fees they like to tack on, at least they're up-front about the basic price of service. With US health care, every fee is a hidden fee. That makes it impossible for consumers to make free, informed decisions, which is the most fundamental precondition that must be satisfied in order for a capitalist market to form.
Yeah, let's break the oligopolist up and give workers more bargaining power.
This is such a weird argument.
Many people can't drive (minors, elderly, handicapped, health issues, etc.), and we still shade a ton of money on car infrastructure.
This is not a zero-sum game; more cyclist means fewer cars, which means better services/life for people who need to drive.

And we are talking about $280 Million; that's a piss in a bucket for a city like Milan.

ADHD here. I think we're probably the least likely to care. In fact everyone being so sensitive is much worse for me so I would prefer if we all just cared a lot less about feelings so I can go back to giving one word answers to stupid questions.

I totally agree that it does not work in the current version of the real world. We just don't have enough insight in to all the moving parts so there's no way we could properly compensate a long chain of people even if we wanted to.

If we were in a different version of the world (which we might end up in), it will be a no-brainer for someone to create a company that openly builds on the work of others and shares profit with those others. It democratizes the "I only need a small piece of a big pie" business model.

Tesla owner mines Bitcoin, Ethereum with his car
Ethereum has been around since 2013. It's time to stop claiming "this is broken but we just need more time to fix it". Nearly 10 years later Ethereum still doesn't have a single app (or dApp) with more than a million daily active users (DAU). That's an extremely slow adoption rate for something that is touted as "revolutionary technology". For comparison, Facebook had about 482 million active users only 5 years after launch. TikTok reached 50 million daily active users in less than a couple years.
It's an impossible feat if the competition has a 10 generations head start and is not playing by any rules.

Strange that the Conservancy is against selling exceptions when the FSF is okay with it.

> If you want to make money by selling software licenses, then by all means go ahead and do that, but don't pretend it's also FOSS.

But it is also FOSS. If something is available to everyone under a free license, the fact that you have the choice of another license too doesn't make it stop being free.
Oops. I'm rarely stumped by lack of a "/s" but that one got me!
I am from India and pretty sure the reason here is it's much easier to make UIs in flutter than in Android native. Nothing specific to India being a developing country.

It's natural to see students using easier stuff as well. Most of student projects you come across is using react, flutter, firebase, MongoDB, as opposed to Angular/Vue, Android native/Jetpack, postgresql etc.. which have much higher barrier to entry.

But this may have to do with developing countries having more recent developers, and less established developers.

Do you have any citation that US healthcare typically has very long waits?
Lots of multiplayer games intentionally implement low-vis, low-contrast environments (mud-colored players in mud-colored environments) which is why things like Digital Vibrance and "Black Enhancers" are so popular. Arguably the competitive advantage of those, tuned to the game [1], exceeds everything else once you've done the basics (120+ Hz, normal-acting hardware).

[1] In a particular game I discovered that abusing the R/G/B controls into giving you something that looks almost like one of those colorblind simulations in normal conditions would give you a massive advantage to the point of most players calling hacks.

Imputing altruistic morals to profit-seeking entities and then continually being surprised and offended when companies act shady puts employees in a pointlessly weak position.

>>> Institutions like healthcare, education, public transport, prisons(!) and so on are more efficient, less corrupt and of higher quality when they are in large parts collectively and democratically organized and funded.

>> Re: prisons - This isn't necessarily the case. Florida's private prisons have air conditioning and the public ones don't in part because of democratic control and the private ones have fewer deaths from heat stroke as a result.

> Extremely suspicious comment. Please elaborate on “democratic control.”

Yeah. Also the GP weirdly collapses "more efficient, less corrupt and of higher quality" into "has air conditioning: Y/N." You have to evaluate those things holistically, and it's quite possible that he holistically-better solution is actually worse in some specific areas.

Also I don't have any specific knowledge about Florida prisons, but private prisons are a new(ish) phenomena [1], and "hav[ing] air conditioning" might simply be an unintended consequence of that, because building standards have changed.

[1] You know what I mean, don't nitpick with some ancient example.

If bitcoin is the only crypto currency that exists then yes you are right. But there are already ways to work around such a ban (like swapping to monero). In several of the recent hacks, big exchanges did try to ban addresses but were not successful in stopping the laundering. Or at least that is my understanding right now.
That’s just insane, whomever negotiated the sale of that corpse of a company either had some crazy inside pull at TTWO or should be made America’s top negotiator.

A painted bike line in Copenhagen is huge compared to the lanes they paint in Britain.

The British version is about half as wide, and often allows parking for large parts of the day (i.e. is only a lane for a couple of hours).

I've never been to Oxford, but someone mentioned Abingdon Road [1]. Just some bike symbols painted on the road.

Or a little further up [2] -- that thing on the left is a British cycle lane. If you go forward 3 clicks, you can see it ends almost immediately.

You obviously wouldn't take small kids through crap like this: [3]. Unbelievably, this is "National Cycle Route 57" (the StreetView car is pointed the wrong way to see it, but if you search you can find the tiny blue "57" sign at the roundabout.)

Other than the bridges, the only part of Central Copenhagen with painted lanes I can think of is Bernstorffsgade [4].

I'm not really sure where you're thinking of for "lots" of bike paths. A little further out [5] is this, where at least the lanes go behind the parked cars, and are wider. https://osm.org/go/0NWvDIpQ-?layers=C shows solid lines for painted lanes, and there aren't many.

My father is getting old and our healthcare system has done a great job at keeping him alive while he can still eat shit loads of pizza, drink beer and be a 80lbs overweight.

Not sure how you can agree about MS but have hesitations about Apple. For all its faults, MS is way more open and end-user friendly than Apple. Also, smart phones and portable devices in general are the general compute devices of the current and new generations and this is where Apple, not MS, is dominant. For millions of people growing up, their gateway to the internet and all that follows is a smart phone.

It should go without saying Alphabet/Google are more deserving of anti-trust than either MS or Apple.
I think even if laughter is something we have in common with lots of animals, humour still seems rather special to me. Laughing when tickled doesn't clearly indicate anything special is going on, but constructing and telling a joke requires not just language at the level of a structured system of symbols carrying meaning, but also a kind of counterfactual theory of mind. A humorist understands and manipulates expectations in order to violate them in a nonthreatening manner.
Factoring companies could be a solution for that.

They pre-approve the bill / contract and pay you (minus a fee) and deal with your client themselves.
In my opinion, the rope is easily superior to these other types, but it also depends on whether your language supports abstractions well. The problem with an "array of paragraphs" is that it helps when your problem involves the paragraph boundary, but gets in the way when it doesn't. For example, pressing backspace at the beginning of paragraph 2 causes a merge of paragraphs 1 and 2, which is not trivial. With a rope, it's the same as deleting a backspace within a simple string, once you have a good rope library under you.

The other big reason to prefer a rope is that the worst case complexity is excellent. Basically all incremental operations are O(log n). With an "array of paragraphs" you get various pathological performance cases such as a huge number of small paragraphs or one very big one.

A good rope implementation is not trivial, but when done right it hides its internal complexity from the layer above. And it's a solved problem. There are at least two or three solid rope crates for Rust (just to pick the language I'm most familiar with), and will likely be more, as people find it fun to implement.
Do it anyway. For them to hire a lawyer to determine this, then they have to pay quite a bit of money. It is quite possible they might be bluffed and pay up, or decide it is cheaper to pay up, and then actually pay up.

If the initial action costs nothing, you have nothing to lose, but they will almost certainly lose something. If you do nothing it will cost you nothing also, but you have no chance of gaining anything at all.
That is a truly absurd argument.

I was waiting for someone to bring up IPFS. Unfortunately it only serves to obscure the absurdity of NFTs. It makes what the NFT points to immutable, nothing else and it still doesn't guarantee that it's actually available.

I really wish IPFS would stop flirting with NFTs. I rather like the technology and it doesn't really have anything to do with NFTs but I'm afraid there will be a stigma attached to it when this thing finally explodes.

One thing I haven't seen anyone mention is that even the thing referenced by the ipfs url must by bit for bit identical. There's no notion of semantic ownership where you can own an image of the Mona Lisa and we can all agree that slightly different versions are still pictures of the Mona Lisa. I can flip one bit and sell that as another NFT. I can even make those changes in the image meta-data so the actual image is bit for bit identical. Also IPFS does not provide unique id's. An image can have multiple IPFS id's. The uniqueness constraint goes the other way, and IPFS id references one and only one unique resource.
Maybe a cross-language library that takes a binary weights file (with embedded model information) and exposes an interface similar to that of the web API? Or a local lightweight version of Nyckel that one can run on their own infrastructure (that exposes the same REST API)?

Just spitballing here; these two would be the most convinent for the use-cases I have in mind.
The “root” is likely to be trauma or bad experiences in your past. E.g. bullying, poor parenting, divorce, poverty, neglect, etc. there are many many possibilities.

It’s pretty easy to have these kinds of experience and not be sure how they relate you your current experience.

Knowing what the “root” is helpful over the long term for eventual healing, but over the short and medium term you need support. There are many people here discussing therapy and doing a better job than I can.

Importantly, know that there is a reason you feel this way, and that even if it feels like it’s your fault, you don’t deserve to suffer like this. It is possible to heal, and that will likely be a gradual process that take times and support.

Be as kind to yourself as you can - even a small amount helps, and seek help.
