>One wonders what profession these people are in.

Both people I'm thinking of were victims of interactions as consumers (of medical services/products), not employees, as it happens.

In one case, the lack of a lucrative career factored directly into the futility of litigation.

In the other, the harm was largely that a medication side effect led to impulsive decisions that undermined a good career and other relationships, and would've been difficult to prove in court.

How do I know this latter was real? Because I coincidentally know there was a massive lawsuit on behalf of victims less ambiguous.

>Also, being in the litigation industry, I'm sure you know that injuring and killing someone is a crime

I am not a lawyer, and I'm not "in the litigation industry" for some years now. However, it's a strange thing to say that injuring or killing someone is always a crime. It's frequently not even a tort. Have you known nobody that's died due to a doctor's mistake? A prescription medication? Seen a "death panel" at a nursing home?

>I'm talking about accidents here.

Sure, and so was I. I mean, you can never really be certain, especially in the many cases that don't get litigated. That's why discovery is a thing, I think. Many, many cases just don't meet cost/benefit criteria and are never filed.

I like repeating this no matter how much I get downvoted each time: medical errors are one of the leading causes of death, behind only one or two like cancer. They are vastly underestimated by most people because there is no diagnostic nor billing code for fuck-ups. Anyone who's worked anywhere near the medical/insurance industry knows how everything revolves around codes, so it had a bitter ring of truth to me when I first read a certain article from Johns Hopkins.

I don't think the title prepared me for this. I saw the first page and thought "oh, that's a terrible graphic, why are you moving away from the future". the mona lisa and taijitsu symbol seemed a bit over blown but still sorta grounded. I literally burst out laughing when I saw the contour lines and energy fields. Definitely was not prepared for "Pepsi Universe", either. I assume that by that point in the presentation the energy in the board room must be fever pitch for no one to point out how stupid that looks.

Edit: Upon further reading about the guy who's behind this, Peter Arnell, it turns out he's possibly the harvey weinstein of the marketing business[^1]. It's a huge shame that neither this pseudointellectual bullshit, nor his string of workplace abuses, ruined his career. A consolation is that in 2011 his company got bought out and he got sacked.

Ah right, because it is basically in LEO so the Earth is enormous.
The Bank of England has since then dropped the ball though, sticking to a slow schedule of raises that seem to have endangered the value of the pound further, falling behind the action taken by other nations and sticking to tiny increases.

Couple that with their slow-ish response speed, because the monetary policy committee only meets 8 times a year, and you get a recipe for a lacklustre response. IMHO.
If they want a fetus to have rights, it should have the right to count as a person in all situations.

I also agree that it undermines the fundamental goal of an HOV carpool diamond lane.

The whole situation is unreasonable, people's bodies should be their own to do with whatever they choose, regardless of pregnancy status or otherwise. To sometimes count the fetus when it fits the political narrative, and then not count it when it fits the political narrative is extremely offensive to all human beings.

p.s. I appreciate your thoughtful contributions to HN discussions in general and find you to be a reasonable person who I'd definitely enjoy grabbing a beer with. Cheers bud.

My impression has long been that the endowment per capita metric provides about as good a ranking as any of the third-party rankings within a category. Where it disagrees with US News, it usually matches my intuitions; and where it disagrees with my intuitions, I usually learn that the college in question has a better reputation than my impression.

It doesn't do a great job comparing across categories, but then, neither does US News...

>This is an objectively false assertion, forced labour AKA slavery is a thing in Europe.

Your own source mentions 136000 cases in the UK, while the comment you quote says for "millions of immigrants." So it'd be something under 10% of immigrants would be in that situation.

Calling that "fringe cases" is a bit of a stretch but not "objectively false."

Only through a downround which brought the valuation down almost 90% from $45B to $6.7bn. which is a magnificent loss to those 6,971 new retail bag holders [0] who bought in another early investors secondary shares as they unloaded them on a crowdfunding site. [1]

They have perfectly timed and 'played' those bag-holders and that early investor, and Crowdcube are now laughing all the way to the bank. As for Klarna, they have paid a high price for that financing round and will also face further regulations and competition, crashing the hype train all together.

A very over-valued and grossly inflated scam of a company.

For me (my 2 cents), I think it's more than nostalgia. It's about community. It's about face to face interaction. I recently listened to a piece on NPR about lunches and working in France and why it's important. https://www.npr.org/2022/06/07/1103566695/lunching-work-when...

The part I took away was how everyone sat together for lunch and you might find yourself at a table with a stranger who is not in your field but you just talk and you create community.

And face to face is different than online. I do both and for me the face to face interaction is what makes life enjoyable.

That, in a nutshell, is what is valuable about going into a Blockbuster (or any store, restaurant, etc ) meeting people and building relationships.

Take this comment for instance; if I were to have this conversation face to face, it would be a completely different experience. The other party could hear the tone of my voice, see the expression on my face. We could shake hands, slap each other on the shoulder, and share a drink together.

The FICA rate above for California is the social security/medicare tax. An equal portion is paid by the employee and employer. Unemployment is paid by the employer in California. Mortgage tax deductions are a lot more limited since the 2018 tax reforms. Health care is the big wild card since better employers might subsidize 80-100% of the premium while worse one hardly anything. The Obamacare ACA plans can provide subsidized health insurance for lower income workers but the subsidies taper off at a fairly low income given how much you need to survive in California.
I definitely recommend it. He studied the topic of "optimal experience" for 40 years, and explores it in various settings. The book has plenty of guidance on understanding how do people get into flow states. There might not be highly precise "instructions", but the book absolutely provides valuable insights. The patient reader will be rewarded.

(Also, the bibliography at the end of the book is quite valuable. Good writers share their sources generously.)

> If both colleges are choosing students based off of some measurable criteria, let's say the SAT score. Would you expect to have higher average scores at college A or college B?

Except "average SAT score of incoming class" is another field of the rankings. All the measurable criteria are handled as independent variables - there's no need for a poor proxy.

It's the first one.

The vast majority of this strategy document is ridiculous drivel, written to sound profound but conveying no meaning. One early tipoff is the nonsensical timeline on page 6 -- it's basically just rattling off random bits of art history with no relation to the brand or the proposed strategy.

To expand on your comment, only 4% of US bankruptcies are because of medical bills <https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-partisan/wp/2018/0...>. A tipoff that [insert large percentage here] of bankruptcies aren't actually because of medical costs is that only 6% of bankruptcies by those without health insurance are because of that cause. The biggest cause of bankruptcies is lack of income, which health insurance doesn't affect.
Maybe a bit biased, but:

- not involving developers in estimation because they "have a pretty good feel for how fast the team works", and then getting very upset when deadlines are never hit

- inventing fake deadlines, applying a lot of pressure to developers, loudly bemoaning the state of things as dates approach and then making light of them as they pass, saying it wasn't a real deadline but the next one totally is

- going on long rambly speeches about how employees just need to try and be more influential when working with other problematic (abusive, unqualified, etc.) employees, citing the case of one amazing engineer they knew back in the day who could win over a room with charisma and charm

- lying to partners/other sections of the organization that we're prioritizing their interests when we're not

- proclaiming they're out of ideas and asking engineers on one-on-ones about if they have any ideas about how to improve productivity

- spending man months on unscientific nonsense in response to a "urgent issue" and then walking away from it when results are inconclusive and something else demands attention, and never returning

- buying a farm, hours away from the workplace, and rarely coming to work all whilst complaining about their huge commute, and then demanding a return to the office from employees
Profunctor Optics: The Categorical View
This amateur attitude makes writing the most misunderstood activity.

What breathtaking arrogance. It falls into even sharper contrast in light of how this article is written with at best dry competence. Perhaps I'm too harsh, but coincidentally I today had the experience of being utterly sucked into some writing on a subject about which I cared nothing by the sheer talent of the writer after I stumbled across "Stranger in the Village" by James Baldwin.
Submitted title was "Getting the most from your logs".

Since most of the replies were about that, I'm going to move them underneath this stub.

Inspired tonight by this photo, I made this little tribute piece on my synthesizer: Webb Awakens https://drive.google.com/file/d/14mdhZ8yPdKarB8GHbWXToY9v_03...
Here's a variant of that GIF that separates out the blue, blue+green, and blue+green+red channels, to (hopefully) highlight which differences are due to the longer wavelengths (and which look more like exposure time difference). Webb's color mapping roughly aligns with the RGB channels, so I think this is meaningful [0].

As far as I can tell marketing is a very expensive pile of poop used to dress up some uncomfortable underlying truths about very real and unfortunate vulnerabilities we have as humans. It's also one of the few places where artists can reliably make money.

The result is that a lot of creative and talented people are putting out some beautiful, powerful, and entertaining works which are ultimately used to lie and to psychologically manipulate the masses in order to shape their views and extract money from them.

> I would much rather have no standard at all, and a single high quality implementation that everyone targeted instead of the current mess for both CL and Scheme.

That would be Chez Scheme [0], maintained actively by Cisco, a company that you may have heard of - who also use the language extensively.

Racket is porting to using Chez, because it is the industry standard, it's performant, and rock solid.

The GNU alternative to Chez is Guile. Emacs can run with Guile, and Guix is built on it. It's got a fairly large community.

Outside of Chez and Guile, there are implementations and communities, but comparatively, they're tiny. Those two are the only big names you need. Like GCC and Clang for C. There are other C compilers. But you only need to know those two.

This is completely true of undergraduate studies. There is a very real reason to think that department (not university) rankings in graduate studies matter.
Looks about the same to me. They have Peets Nespresso cups, K-cups, bags of ground coffee, and whole beans (conveniently filed under "ground coffee"). K-Cups are offered in hazelnut mocha (yikes), house, french roast, maj. dickason, and decaf maj. dickason. The ground beans are available in Colombian, Big Bang, Decaf Maj. Dickason (+ decaf), and Organic Alameda Morning.

Whole bean? Just Major Dicakson in various quantities.

You could make an argument that the disposable cups will have a decent shelf life. 10 ounce bags of grounds won't though – that's kind of the antithesis of quality right there.
A similar question would be: "Has the last human that will make 'Einstein' level discoveries already been born?"

This leaves room for some 10 year old to do so in the near future, but places some kind of event horizon for AI achievement eclipsing human achievement closer than about 25 years into the future.
It can and it can't, I think. A lot of the value of writing is ~exponential, when you have enough to say that you have to start weighing structure. What to say first and last; what to leave out. It's value created by wrestling with yourself about what you think, why, whether anyone else would care, and how to make them.

You can do this on social platforms. But you can also just poot out some brainfarts and scoot out of the room before anyone notices.
I'm redesigning my project's architecture and like "Wow! This article is so timely!"
It's exactly what I felt too.
Yea, I felt the same way after playing a few of them years ago. RTS games are twitch games that pretend to be strategy games. If I want actual building/moving/fighting strategy games, I stick to turn-based, where I can actually think about my strategy and have the time to manage all the complexity. If I want a muscle-memory twitch game, I can play a FPS or fighting game. RTS occupies that weird area in between where it does neither well, but eventually the twitchy players always dominate because few if any of those games figured out a way to not give advantage to high "Actions Per Minute" playing.

I do dislike this aspect of modern Britishness. Yes, be modest, be understated, don't exaggerate or boast about the nation. Yes, some poor decisions have been made by the people and the politicians - where isn't this true?

But the flagellatory "everything is terrible and we are merely worms" attitude that prevails among the bien-pensant class right now is so saddening. The UK does have an influence on the world, a pretty outsized one at that, because it is one of the larger and more modern economies. Ahead of it are the US, the world's two most populous nations (China, India), and two comparative economic powerhouses, Germany and Japan. That's it. If you want to count the EU as one economy, great, it takes Germany's place.

Does this mean where Britain goes all must follow? No, of course not. But neither does it mean total insignificance.
Nobody here is saying that they are actually mutable. I am saying that it looks as if you are mutating a new variable and then returning it. It looks like mutation because you are "do-ing" stuff. The mutation that is almost happening is in the monadic state.
> Nuclear has generally done a terrible job of offsetting fossil fuels, because it doesn't scale to 100% carbon free grid.

The way you've phrased this, it sounds like there is some other zero-carbon energy source that is better at offsetting fossil fuels.

Take a look at France's electric grid, and the province of Ontario. They're both majority nuclear (75% and 65% respectively), they're both >90% carbon-free (with much of the remainder, indeed, being gas). Now show me a different grid that has a lower proportion of gas (regardless of whether or not it has any nuclear). Or a different grid that has lower CO2 per MWh. (there aren't any)

You haven't pointed to any evidence that it is important either, and that's what I asked for. The other poster rightly pointed out some citations demonstrating that the evidence for this conclusion is effectively non-existent.

Absent any evidence I have no reason to accept your assertion that children "require" such interactions, particularly since it makes no sense to me. As I said, positive human interactions are clearly essential as the negative effects of isolation are dramatic, but I see no reason why peer interactions specifically are essential and there's no comparably clear, strong signal as with isolation.

I am actually in awe of writing!

Human speech itself is amazing, with no other animal having anything close to it.

And then we have writing, where we can encode this speech where people distant from you in time and space and read and understand it.

And here is the kicker: it is a pretty universal human ability now!

In the past, maybe 1% or fewer of a population could write. Now, we have almost universal literacy throughout the developed world, and a global literacy rate above 85%.

I find all this amazing.
