That is simply false and misinformation. A "loss" is just a technical term in the insurance industry generally. It doesn't mean that a medical insurer had money and then lost it. The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) imposed a minimum 80% medical loss ratio.

On most policies the "insurance" companies aren't even providing insurance any more. They simply act as third-party administrators for self insured employers. So the insurance companies have no financial incentive to deny claims. In most cases where claim payment is delayed or denied it's because the provider organization failed to follow the rules for claim coding and attachments.
I know of a family with three generations of people with same First Middle Last name, but since grandfather goes by First, father goes by First Middle and grandson goes by Middle, there's no actual confusion.
To this day many print, TV, radio, etc. publications manually approve the majority or all of the ads that run in the media. This limits the scaling potential. It also doesn't prevent some ads for criminal offers from running (job ad scams, various mail order scams, investment scams, seminar scams), but it does filter out a lot of things.
This was a couple years ago, you may be right, sorry for the confusion
>> Our entire product codebase and build pipeline is now broken.

> Sorry . We've tried very hard to message this over the past 3 months, emitting warning messages. Please also note that it appears GitHub Actions also appears to be having issues, which is unrelated to our change. If you are seeing general build failures, it might be due to the GitHub issue.

Apparently not sorry enough to not shoulder unnecessary work on people for the sole purpose of powertripping and proclaiming their own amazing goodness.

Great day for a ShowHN for an open source SSO product :)

I am excited by this.

However I got thoroughly confused on the introduction page of your docs:

https://boxyhq.com/docs/jackson/introduction

What is “Jackson” - did you rebrand at some point?

I think it’s a Pulp Fiction reference(?) but I spent more time looking that (and the name “Jules Winnfield”) up to try and understand the context then I did reading/parsing the intro!

I don’t mind a bit of humour, but this was a tad confusing…

What are your plans regarding a commercial model for your product (if you can share?)

Edit: also as a bit of feedback; because your website is quite basic at the moment and the only call to action seems to be the big “Contact Us” button, I’m left wondering what stage you’re at and whether you have anything that’s usable now that I can use in production, or if it’s still at a Beta / under-development stage?

If it’s ready to be used, perhaps add a “Get Started” button to the left of the “Contact Us” button as that serves as both a strong call to action and also clearly indicates that you consider the product is ready to use (even if your commercial offering isn’t yet).

If it’s not yet ready, perhaps change that suggested button to a “Keep Me Updated” button with an email signup?

There’s not enough here for me to consider contacting you at this stage… I would either want to try it out, or give you my email so that you can tell me when it’s ready to try out.

I glanced at the GitHub repo but I’m still not really clear if this is a work in progress or it’s ready to go…!

Just my opinion… for what it’s worth!
An Ivy League degree doesn’t make you credible. Weiss is a well-known crank and her opinions should generally be assumed to be trolling.
The description reminds me of the Lyra-8 by Soma Laboratory. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8od1a1mySU
No law experience, but this is what I had gathered as well. The examples in this article sound like cases of over-correction. Which isn’t great, but it’s probably better than the alternative of not recognizing the issues at all.
Western News Is Getting Around Putin’s Digital Iron Curtain
> Most Americans would say that an American businessman has more of a right to effective legal counsel than foreign jihadists detained in Guantanamo.

1. Alleged foreign jihadists. An incredibly small minority of whom have actually been convicted, mostly (6 of 8) through plea deals. [1]

2. Little surprise (though, citation needed) that most Americans disagree the Constitution. That doesn't mean we should burn the document.

I feel like those crying cargo-cult or enterprise never stopped to look at the alternatives they use. Like Django or Rails. It's in many ways worse than java when it comes to conventions, abstractions doing magic, and weird rules for structuring code.
Considering how loved Elixir is, functional definitely isn't a problem.
It's worth noting that Instagram does this too, under the guise of "Find Your Friends." When you sign up for a new account, they aggressively prompt you to sync your contacts list with the app, and will continually prompt you in the future if you choose not to. Nearly all of my friends have this enabled.

This is not a one-time sync, either. It will upload future new contacts and changes.

And, finally, if you manage to create a new account without a phone number, Instagram appears to flag your account for suspicious activity at some point and mandates that you do. They can then correspond your phone number with other users' contact lists to determine your identity. It can even suss out if you provided a Google Voice/VOIP number and require a "real" one instead.

Both. It's Facebook. It's Zuckerberg in charge.
What type of component is an "adjustable resistor"? Looking the term up online only shows potentiometers, which I really don't think is what is being described here. Is this some sort of memristor?
That's my point. Mercedes might be able to operate unsupervised on a some predefined map of highways while under a set of conditions and at a certain speed, but that doesn't mean it's a good product that solves real problems if it can't take over driving unsupervised on a regular road trip where you're driving 70+mph.
I agree with your sentiment. They are scaling and automating to increase profit, by reducing employee count that needs to do this work.

The problem is, mistakes in this domain have greater world wide consequences than one company losing some money.

They need to step away from this if it's not managed better. This is now an ethics problem, and not a financial one, even though some Facebook execs may not see it this way.

Back in the late 80s, we had a bunch of C128s running COMAL in the computer lab in school. I was quite proficient in BASIC back then and found COMAL's structuredness somewhat narrow minded and stuffy. But then I didn't know any better, and I fortunately learned to appreciate better structured programming languages soon.

I do not know this for certain, but judging by similar releases within some period, it appears there are at least three major studios. When one releases a big film, at least one of the other large studios releases a very similar film. [1] One pair I recall is The Cave (2005) and The Descent (2005). These copies are not sharing actual source shots with each other, but I would guess there is some "studio espionage; one studio discovers what the other is doing and rushes to produce a similar film to be released within a few months of the other.

> The freeflowing air cooling design, a good design choice as it saves on operating costs for cooling, contributed to nourishing the fire.

The reason you use forced air in your house instead of being built for natural convection is so you don't die in a fire. Fires are all about convection. Infernos doubly so.

There was an early luxury cruise ship tragedy, I think in New York City. A 'freeflowing air cooling design' and all wood paneling. It caught on fire, so they turned around to come back into port... and burned to the waterline, killing a bunch of people.

Building code for passenger ships got changed to require forced air and limit natural (flammable) materials after this.
There is much more cheaper and safer solution, a system that detects if the driver is drunk,ill, not paying attention etc. But some fanboys prefer faked self drivers systems with faked stats because it looks SciFi rather then say force a drunk detector in all cars.
That wasn't the only reason why I left one job but their Oracle buy-in was a big factor. Things like paying 7 figures a year for support, and then having the Oracle support manager ask if they could redistribute the hot-patch I made to other customers.
Not useless: They got to feel good about themselves and saddle people with hours of unnecessary work as the price of their own edification.

Power, remember, is the ability to get people to do what you want them to, and it is felt when it is exercised. They exercised power so they could smell the sweet aroma of their own farts.
You can and should use Data.table without pipes.

The metaphor I like to use is image resolution. In mass-communication, we communicate with 2x2 pixel images. Among friends with a lot of trust, we speak in 1080p. 2x2 communication just can't carry the context that we bake into each word during a conversation. I think this is an inherent property of mass communication and you really have to tailor your 2x2 message if you want to take it outside of high-bandwidth conversations.
These are pretty good questions. I'd put more value on say understanding HTTP or async/promises and how they work vs knowing the differences between methods. You can always look those up. One interesting thing with reduce would be "What is a situation where reduce is the best choice?" What I look for is a bridge from the coding question earlier where most people will implement a nested loop situation and could bring down the total iterations over the data set.
If one ever does forgo an outline (I'm not sure if this is ever done), you'd probably have to revise the entire thing a lot, such that you're imposing an outline anyway.
“When I was doing the History of Rome [podcast], so many people asked me, ‘Is the United States Rome? Are we following a similar trajectory?’ If you start to do some comparisons between the rise and development of the U.S. and rise and development of Rome, you do wind up in this same place. The United States emerging from the Cold War has some analogous parts to where Rome was after they defeated Carthage [in 146 B.C.]. This period was a wide-open field to fill a gap in our knowledge.”

Perhaps it’s is so. Unrelated to his joke, it’s similar and worth the read.
You’re going to need to back that up with a court case especially when the constitution explicitly mentions government for example the 1st amendment.
The observation in the first half of your comment seems sound but your explanation doesn't make sense.

There's rather a lot of land in the world outside of the US that could have a datacenter built on it. There's also a lot of Australia that's uninhabited but not uninhabitable.

We should be subsidizing home solar installations at 0 percent interest that can power the air conditioning. Everybody wins - less load on the system, people stay cool affordably, and more jobs selling, installing, and maintaining these systems.
It can't be spun as 'we sell so many ads we can't check them all'. It's 'we don't check them all because that's cheaper'. Unless the price of the ad is so low that paying to review it is a loss, in which case don't sell at that price, or treat it as a loss leader.
Yes, I see. I tried to understand their pricing. 10,000 active time series? Does that mean it will store and let me view 10k top level API calls for their fee? 10k separate services? I don't quite understand how this maps to actual use.

$100/service. Is that top level service? To cover a 100 endpoints at one service each is going to be 10k/mo?
No. The nickel trading is designed to insulate nickel mining and nickel consumption from prices. The nickel miner has nothing to do with the short squeeze unless of course he is also a nickel trader, but by design the short squeeze has nothing to do with the mining, the explosives they use, the chemicals they mix, none of it.

The consenting adult thing is a joke. These aren't 19 year old college students who are spending student loans irresponsibly, and need debt forgiveness or relief. These are 50 year old men mostly, millionaires, lots of degrees saying they're smart, and lawyered up to the teeth. And the appearances they put on, and the new jargon they are introducing (desynchronization?) is similar to how the public had to be "educated" about "toxic loans" which is really a PR move to pass their losses to others. They lost money, that's it.

They're exactly like a gambler who thinks he has a system, like the martingale, meaning double your money when you lose, reset when you win. So they make a lot of money for a while and it looks really cool, they look like badasses when they lose a bit, double their bet, lose again, then double their bet again and this time they win and they think wow, how did we come up with such a great system, we have such a bright future ahead of us, let's go squander the winnings.

The LME should be as strict as a casino. You don't want to give up your chips after you lost? Security! And six guys show up from different directions. But it won't, LME would rather play favorites, and what this loss of integrity means is the exchange will lose the appearance of integrity. Basically giving up their dignity to Shanghai.

The whole purpose of the LME is to cheat countries that are constantly being raided out of the only thing that can't be stolen in one shot, their natural resources. England can steal all the silver of the Chinese Emperor, but they can't move mountains. So they say, oh, you have a lot of natural resources! If you want manufactured goods you can sell those and buy the goods with that! What should the price of these rocks be? I know a perfect system, very prestigious and it's never gone wrong, high integrity, and it happens to be in London.
There used to be really prominent banners telling you about it. I don't see them now, but I'm also not sure they switched back. Here's an article I found explaining the switch to requiring paid usage.

Why not just write the statement and write `.var`? Like if you write

myService.getSomething().var

and press tab, it will autocomplete it to

Something something = myService.getSomething()
That's ridiculous.

Obviously `ctx` is the most readable.
scouting teenage tech prodigies and whiz kids

Is there much evidence that someone who was great at tech as a teenager goes on to be good at tech in a career? Some do, of course, but some flame out too (especially given the pressure of being labelled 'gifted' or a 'prodigy'). It'd be interesting to see if this business lifts up some kids and turns them into amazing engineers and founders, or if it piles on more pressure and causes fewer of them to go on to great careers.
What if I do need to go to a hospital, but don't want any information about me to be shared? Is that impossible? What are the ethical considerations for me, when I disagree entirely to any data collection? Must I be coerced against my will into providing to Google or whoever regardless?

The point I am raising is that there is an embedded assumption that this info should even be available for deep learning to work over.
1-1 net metering just isn’t a viable model. It sounds nice from the perspective of someone installing solar on their house, but it doesn’t make sense at a grid scale and it has meant that most home solar installations are just distributed power plants instead of being energy independent. The only thing that really makes fiscal sense for the utility provider is being paid/paying the current price for electricity at whatever time they send/receive power. Unfortunately for people with solar panels, this means getting paid less when selling and paying more when buying, as everyone else with solar panels is selling their excess electricity and buying electricity at the same times. Even with that price spread, it may make sense for power companies to charge a high connection fee or higher than retail rates for power to solar generating customers because they aren’t paying for the infrastructure they need when they are selling power like someone who buys all their power from the grid would.
The EU is in a rough spot sovereignty-wise. They're dependent on the U.S. for security and the Russians (or possibly now also the U.S.) for energy.

> this assumes that there was due process, presumption of innocence and a "rule of law" to start with.

>truth is, rich people can afford the best lawyer, poor people have to take a 10 years plea deal.

Exactly this. The author does a lot of hand-wringing about the loss of the current institutional practices, but never stops to consider that maybe those institutional practices were never as good as they were sold to be anyway.

Justice has never been truly blind, for exactly the reasons you note. In a society that is structurally, historically biased (based on race, wealth, etc.), any institution that pretends that bias doesn't exist will simply allow that bias to be continue. This new generation has seen the flaws in that mentality and has chosen to fix them instead of continuing the problem.

To put it another way: "evil prevails when good men do nothing". The system effectively "does nothing" now by ignoring existing structural bias, and thus allows the existing evils in society - racism, classic, etc. - to affect its outcome. It doesn't matter if the system isn't designed to be "evil", or that the people acting within it don't consider themselves to be evil - The evils in society will persist if they are not actively opposed.

A change in mentality has occurred among the profession (and also as a wider cultural movement) that societal evils need to be actively called out and opposed rather than quietly tolerated. And honestly, I find it hard to disagree.
The comparison with Tesla baffles me. One is a fairly common car with limited self driving abilities that are commonly used all over, the other is an exclusive model. Tesla sells each quarter an order of magnitude more than they yearly sells of s-class. Most of the s-class are irrelevant - they are not sold in Germany.

When Mercedes will make this feature and promise available to each A-class sold worldwide we will be able to compare abilities. This day will come some time in the future, but the current move is not leading me to believe that Mercedes is a safer bet then Tesla.
> Talking to a few lawyers until you find...

I have no advice on how to find a good, suitable lawyer. It's as hard or harder as any other domain (health, construction, accounting, etc). Like everyone else, I've had suboptimal experiences.

I can, however, relate my most recent experience, which was very positive.

I compiled a list of prospects. Mostly thru foraging. Also from recommendations.

I then called every single one of them. Over time I learned some useful questions to ask.

It eventually became completely obvious which lawyers knew what they were talking about, had direct experience with cases like mine, and weren't just hustling to get more work. Especially which lawyers were easy to talk with, who returned calls & followed up, and did what they said they'd do.

I narrowed the list down to two.

Then I chose the less optimistic one. I felt the person who had fought more battles, had a lower estimate for success, would understand the work involved, had already seen all the traps and pitfalls, and would therefore work smarter.

--

All that said...

I don't think you (u/bereavedparent) are in any position to pick a lawyer by yourself. I certainly wasn't. You need help.

I recruited a friend to help me. Just like having a patient advocate. To help me plan, strategize, maintain the calendar, keep notes, and elevate my mood.

I think one of the reasons these lies spread so quickly is that they’re often based on a tiny shred of truth to make them sound believable. Mayim Bialik, for example, did hawk snake oil called Neuriva and made some questionable claims as to its efficacy. For anyone familiar with that controversy I can see how it’s not a big leap to read the fake headline you saw and think “yea, okay, I guess that seems like something she would do.”

I wonder what the end goal is for whoever is running those ads? To get people worked up at Mayim Bialik hosting Jeopardy!? To sell CBD gummies? Or just to piss off people on both sides and stir up American pop-culture controversy?

That circles back to the question of Weinstein reputation.

Is a lawyer who has liberty to reject a client because the client can't afford the lawyer's billable hours also at liberty to reject a client because damage to the lawyer's reputation for representing that client is factored into the cost of doing business?

"Representing you will actively damage my future business, so you can't afford me" seems like a consistent position a lawyer could take on why a client must seek representation elsewhere.
