NHS has been underfunded for years. These issues are, in a way, not new. But it just kept getting worse and worse, COVID added burnout and a huge backlog of treatments and missed diagnoses.

It probably doesn't help that a lot of the medical staff were from the EU and just before COVID were PTFO.

I'm still waiting for those hospitals to be built by all the money saved by Brexit.
The example was included in the guidelines for a reason.

And in any case it’s not at all relevant to an article about color scales.
> I imagine this hurts Twitter's defense against Musk from pulling out of the takeover deal

Not really because they have consistently said "this is what we do, it's a finger in the air estimate based on sampling, it might be right, it might be wildly wrong, there's no agreed methodology for this".

For someone to then go "they don't fully understand the true number of bots! GOTCHA!" is dumb because it's literally just pointing out exactly what they've said in their SEC filings since 2013.
I think the difference is if you do it yourself vs. trust a third party. The third party is charging a risk premium.
At least chariots keep people dry during Winter, and not soaked in sweat during Summer.

No. The article explains that it is 90% accuracy on already flagged messages.
I'm always happy to see things that will improve the adoption of RSS. I think it is a far better way to consume content compared to big companies deciding what they think you want to see (this may get a bit of this on the side from Google but I am not against a bit of recommendations as long as the focus is on what you subscribed to).

I personally have my own reader setup but the more options the merrier. That is what makes standard protocols great.
As one point of anecdata, my wife started doing TikTok videos recently to help promote her books. She puts on make up and wears cute bows in her hair for the videos. She rarely put on makeup and never wore bows in her hair before doing TikTok. And the bows come off as soon as she's done making the videos.

Jetracer: The First Flying Car Available to the Public
The Release Radar playlist is supposed to contain new releases from artists you already listen to. I think you might be right about the release radar being a method they use to separate out bands with the same name. I've definitely noticed bands with the same name in my Release Radar. It would be useful if Spotify exposed a method to report different bands under the same name. The do not recommend is a different signal since maybe I also like the new band. I probably mess up Spotify's recommendation algorithm for me since I use the heart button to flag albums as listened to regardless of my enjoyment since there isn't a another way to mark albums as "listened" like there is for podcasts.
I've long believed this, but surprisingly, very few Germans I've spoken to feel this way about it, admittedly my sample is Berlin-centric, so perhaps that isn't a very good litmus test for general German sentiment considering the demographics of Berlin consist of a lot of non-Germans who likely aren't that clued-up, and that perhaps skews sentiment as a whole.
I remember! Perhaps that is Soda Constructor:

Sites like Pandora, and many other "underdog" sites, operate as expected because they are trying desperately to please users in a bid to capture market share. Once they gain market dominance they begin to operate in an unexpected/unfavorable manner, just like Spotify does now, because "tailored" recommendations (strategic content recommendations) generates the most annual revenue for them.

The saying "power corrupts" applies to this circumstance perfectly.

Spotify manipulates recommendations to what makes them the most money, not necessarily what is best for user satisfaction. They do it just enough to prevent users from cancelling their subscriptions as well (usually).
No prob we'll sue Newton then, damn gravitation.
US health is socialized in that the public will pay for it if you're willing to game the system like the uncle in this story, plus spin the wheel of chance to see how much you'll how privately anyway. I don't think the uncle here acted maliciously or TRIED to game the system, but that is what happened and that is what will continue to happen with this shitty half implemented system.
You should spend some time with immigrants and learn about their experiences. I get it, you grow up in the US and you just take everything for granted, it's just human nature. "It's not special here."

Then you talk to people who came to the country with literally nothing (refugees) and now they have a comfortable middle class existence, own a home, their kids are American citizens going to prestigious colleges.

It's really eye opening.
I'm sure this is referring to the expected value in something like say, a dice throw. If the chances of winning when picking a certain number are 1/6 and the payoff is 6x the investment then the expected returns after a large mount of attempts are known and would be zero. I'm sure this is widely applicable in gambling.
Both. Demand has increased faster than expected because of covid, and supply has been hampered by covid, but even in the counterfactual world that has not faced this pandemic the UK has not funded enough nursing places to meet the previously forecast demand (the ageing population told us demand was going to go up, but the government cut funding in 2017 that reduced nursing degree applications in England and Wales by 23%), and Brexit reduced the number of nurse applications from the EU.
Saw this for the first time as a teenager working in the service industry too. My restaurant was a little mom-and-pop run by a couple who would knowingly violate employment law by hiring undocumented workers for back-of-house roles, and would use the threat of contacting immigration enforcement to coerce them to do further unlawful things when it suited their interest. Often it was in service of unlawful activities like improper waste disposal and dumping.

I have no idea how much they were paid, if it was regularly, or if they benefitted from mandated labor concessions like lunches and breaks.

So odd that we so often label people on one side of this transaction as “illegal” but have no popular words to describe the other.
They're immigrating from countries whose victimization by capitalism is complete to one that still has a (shrinking, per Davos protocol) middle class.

Life under 21st-century American capitalism is bad, but it's even worse outside of the imperial core. Two things can both be true.
And even better, most of the things that are dangerous in a traditional reactor is chemically bound to the salt. So even if there is some kind of explosion, these materials would not be vaporized and transported in the air with wind.

So no crazy misinformed graphics all over the news.

So even if you drop a hand-grande into that reactor, it just gone be like throwing a rock into a bucket full of toothpaste. Its gone be a mess but its not gone result in a lot of airborne materials.
Clay tablets send messages in time and are more reliable in that way. The message is broadcast continously on a short distance (as far as reading distance), it does not require any form of energy and if no other circumstances are completely destroying the artefact (it could still be pieced back together if broken) it could last a really long time, well beyond any modern technology
That is not what technologically neutral means. It means that the EU will not prescribe MS whatever or Google such and such, but that states can choose software themselves, assuming it works good enough (which apparently is not a very high bar to clear in this case).
Both are correct.

That's why the executive is sabotaging immigration control right now, it's like telling the world come to America. 10x more Cubans, Haitians, Brazillians crossing the border cararraja why? To stop that inflation! No unions, no inflation, no dignity in the workplace, up that unemployment in real life (but not on paper, turn those 9's into 6's).
I think it's ridiculous to expect people to do some sort of extensive research before they use a product. Should people who smoked before the surgeon general's warning not have been able to sue the tobacco companies who hid evidence around the dangers of smoking? It would be the same sort of thing from a legal perspective here if the parents claims are true.
The "NeXT Cube" was essentially the same thing as the "NeXT Computer" with an updated CPU. Basically, they renamed it after they released the "NeXTstation"[0] to avoid confusion. Otherwise, they'd have had two NeXT "Computers." Heh.

Though fine in 1988, NeXT's own hardware was rather under-powered for the early 90's. Their main competitor, Sun, was transitioning to their own RISC architecture (SPARC) after originally being on 68K. DEC was coming out with the Alpha. HP had moved to PA RISC. Though I digress, it's too bad NeXT never ran on the Alpha! That would've been a killer 90's setup.

Congress sells out to corporations / wealthy / lobbyists. Congress represents them instead of US citizens, anytime they can rig the economy.

86% of all federal taxes are paid by workers. 12% of all federal taxes = business taxes + capital gains. It used to be 50% by workers in 70 years ago. Congress sells out to redirect wealth to who they represent: wealthy / big corporations / lobbyists. Above numbers comes from US gov (congressional budget office) on breakdown of tax revenues.
If the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) had the authority to regulate industrial chemicals along the lines of the FDA's regulation of pharmaceuticals, this type of clinical study would have been required before Roundup ever hit the shelves.
I assume you're speaking from first hand experience as someone from one of those "outside of the imperial core" countries?
Soda Constructor? Yeah, that was a fun one.

When their system flagged it as CP and their people reviewed it, how is that not a crime? In their state of mind they knew it was CP and they are not law enforcement or government lawyers. Civilians at the behest of google watched CP amd there was no prosecution! Isn't that another big story here?

I absolutley think CSAM as an idea is a good thing so long as any fault in the algorithms are taken into account and it is law enforcement that does the investigation begining to end. Google has the right to refuse service, but not with cause. They slandered a person and cancelled service before the persons had time to migrate causing considerable material damage. How much monetary value do you place on sentimental pictures or email messages? If money is an issue let us donate to the legal funds of these people but they should absolutley sue the crap out of google.

I don't know if there is a civil cause for action in any CP related law but if google employees who are not law enfrocement or authorized medical professionals saw the private pictures of my child I would be raising hell in form of lawsuits and in every avenue where I can make this known including election campaigns against the DA that didn't prosecute google employees and execs for intentional viewing of CP.

You don't like CSAM as a concept? Ok, I get the arguments against it but laws are too humane against child predators. Until castrations , public executions and death by torture are on the books (prevention) then CSAM like approach is a must (detection). Refusing to take a strong stance on prevention and on detection is enabling the real predators.
Ah yes, came for the obvious response which I essentially do see here. Cybersecurity is awful at twitter, but that's because cybersecurity is awful everywhere.
Most people in India drive bycicle mostly because there is no other option the family can afford. It is an upgrade of being forced to walk everywhere.

Those that can afford it, quickly upgrade to motorbikes.

I rode bycicle for a couple of times in Norway and Switzerland during snowy Winters, no thanks.
definitely wasn't roses. having to deal with a bunch of transparent gifs to for rounded buttons during the web 2.0 craze was a headache...but at least it was immediate, i was working directly in html and css

and yes you're right the overall scene now is 100x better in terms of the open source community. many problems have been sold. it's more the tooling and layering of everything that is exhausting, and the ever expanding list of nuances and edge cases...
Ammonia is a very dangerous chemical. From a thermodynamic and environmental perspective it's one of the best refrigerants for many applications but we can't use it in residential buildings because you'll die if you breath it in.

The E-S refrigerator was used because it's high reliability made it safe for certain critical applications, not because it used a safe working gas.
> This is the supposed "Green" party that campaigned on anti-war and not sending weapons to war zones and closing coal that has been actively lobbying on reopening coal plants and has been the most vocal in its request to send weapons to Ukraine.

Which is not a new thing; They did the same the last time they had government participation under Red/Green, ended up sending the Bundeswehr to "defend freedom" in Afghanistan.

Thus the running joke about Greens in Germany is how their "green" does not stand for the environment, but rather for the olive green of military uniforms.
I know.

What I'm saying is that what people see as manipulation of voters (nobody could ever believe that!) is actually just another valid opinion that you so happen to disagree with.

Nobody was deceived. Nobody was manipulated. The voters just don't agree with you on this issue.
I've never found message queues that hard to work with but it seems everyone else I've worked with inevitably winds up with a queue that messages go into and never get out of.

I've often thought there is an analogy with broken "real-world" processes where the same thing happens.
What if they did? There are various theories about how ancient Egyptians had a strong preference for using highly specific ratios in their architecture.
How will the hydrogen be generated? It's only green if generated from solar, wind or hydro power. Generating it from natural gas produces more pollution than burning natural gas directly.
> abandoning engineer culture in craft of software development

I think it's just a function of the rapid growth our field has seen over the past few years. With 'everyone' becoming software developers, and new frameworks being launched every day, it's just hard to promote long term planning and the following of sound engineering principles. With the current rate of change, software is seen as 'disposable', promoting more of a hacker culture, and less of an engineering culture.
> Literally saying "The ends justify the means" when it comes to detecting CSAM...

I don't read it like that. My reading of it is that the EU don't care what technology is being used as long as the technology works as prescribed, that is, the result is CSAM detection regardless of the means by which it was detected.

I don't read anything in that about government power or government overreach, regardless that these technologies are clearly very intrusive.

Being a poor immigrant in the USA is far, far superior to being poor in many Latin American countries such as Venezuela, Honduras, and Guatemala. Only an extremely naïve and privileged person would even pretend that isn't the case.
Cloudflare is not used to prevent ddos in this case, but to hide the identity and the actual hosting service of kf, so that they can't be pressured/sued. And apparently for legal defence since cloudflare was happy to proactively protect them in court.
The owner’s manual point runs me the wrong way, too — describing it as “page 49 out of 57” makes it sound like it’s buried in the back rather than prominently in the safety section which the first page tells you to read.

I agree with the assessment other people have made. This is a tragic situation and it seems like the parents are trying to deal with their grief by finding a bad guy other than their daughter’s best friend.
Can someone give me the tl;dr regarding where Matrix protocol stands in regards to this and people running their own server for family?
I think there are a variety of ways the US healthcare system is collapsing.

One way I experience, relevant to OP, is that even with "good" health insurance, I can't manage to get an appointment with most specialists faster than 3 months, and I can't even see my primary care physician faster than 3 weeks (at best) -- in case of something "urgent", maybe in 2 or 3 days.

This may be especially bad in the region I live in, I'm not sure. When I ask around, many of my friends in other regions have similar experiences. It is not in fact true that those in the US can generally see physicians without long waits for appointments, currently.
Because it's CNN and they like to make headlines with some bogus whistleblower that is concerned that some die-hard trumpers are going to hack top companies and create some kind of mass hysteria. Just the usual fear mongering in the news media to get views.
Consumer demand is the only reason why we don't have many bicycle models on the market that keep the rider dry. You don't sweat on an electric bike.

Netherlands is the 2nd largest exporter of agricultural products - behind the US -and it's 1/3 the size of Massachusetts...Sector is extremely innovative and productive. The Dutch government is out of its mind. Europe is already under inflationary pressure. This will add to it long term and may also lead to food shortages. One can not simply reduce a sector by 30% without harming the other 70% since it's an ecosystem...
Show HN: BudgetBuddy a new way to track spending
Budget Buddy is a spending tracker that lives in your messaging app. I built this tool because I'd often download budget apps and forget or just not use their features. This application, to me, makes recording my spending easy.

This is my first project out of college and I learned a lot about hosting, CI and docker.

I would love some feedback on the code and the tool itself. The code can be found here: https://github.com/zlederman/budgetBuddy.
It's "broken" in the sense that other parts of the society depend on non-enforcement. Start enforcing it more often and the house of cards starts crumbling.
Sounds like there is something wrong with your local installation. I work on a multi MILLION line code base with IntelliJ and it stays comfortably under 2 GB at all times. Maybe an errant plugin?
This isn't exactly true, nor what the GP is suggesting. Supplementing public service with private is already happening in the UK and very common around the world in even the most socialized, public systems like Canada. Where the US shines is high-end ongoing treatment, for which you do pay big bucks.
I don't think it's universal. Europe is more colorful than US/Canada. I think that's because esthetic education is better in Europe.
Okay how does an e-cargo-bike carry 400kg of parts, tools, and equipment, and go up mountains? Are they any good at pulling trailers, maybe 3500kg or so?

May mean “I don’t want any paper trails on this”.
It's nice but it has a buuuuuuuunch of bugs - the published railroad diagrams/bnf grammar dont even match behavior in the wild so I feel bad for them, but you can see intellisense fail for similar reasons.
That totally depends on the new provider. One of the nice things about Stripe was their APIs and SDKs were so easy to use. As a solo dev, I was able to spin up a site in a very short amount of time.

If the new provider has less features/ease-of-use, then you have to start from square one on integration. If you have a team, then maybe not as big of a burden as being a solo dev.
Interesting. While I'm not able to articulate these things I do feel like there is a certain visual monotony to much of the original content on not just Netflix. You mentioned color correction, isn't that related to saturation that the author mentioned in the article? Doesn't original content all have their own production teams though i.e they are not in-house Netflix production? If that's the case wouldn't be unusual for all these independent teams to produce very similarly lit, shot and color-corrected content?
Nah, banning does work. People who are banned are forced to rely on word of mouth and lose out on algorithmic amplification.
In TN, USA: Neighbors' cotton fields look really good this year, and boy there's a lot of it. Some of these fields are under cotton for the 3rd year in a row.

The corn got severely bitten by weather and may be dire yields. The winter wheat harvest was great, now most of those fields are growing soybean, I'd say about half of it unfertilized "green manure" and the other half intended for harvest.

I suspect about 20% of the land under cultivation this year is being stretched too far and is going to be reduced in productivity for the next several years. The 3rd year cotton fields look (guessing) 10% to 25% smaller than cotton fields beside them that have been rotated normally.

Another interesting note: Usually we get crop dusters working hard through cotton blossom time: this year they're grounded. Some farmers are spraying with surface gear, but I suspect some are skipping the boll weevil sprays which are kindof a big deal for the entire region.
Speak for yourself.

I'm more than prepared to just stop working for a few days or even a week or two.

I already actively boycott Chinese products where possible (I buy non Chinese if at all possible, even at significant higher prices), support the Georgian Legion with my own cash and have probably spent hundreds of hours on unpaid online activism this half year on top of what I do for my church (although in all fairness it still does more for me).

If enough people band together and just plain stop working, sooner or later politicians will have to listen.
It's fairly trivial to keep the recommendations consistent depending on the latest request, not just the logged user. Pandora does a good job at this. We have it on our Alexa and at dinner, we take turns with the kids requesting songs. If we stop requesting, it keeps playing an internally consistent series based on the latest song we asked for. So if it's the kids' choice, it's a never ending row of Kids Learning Tube :-)
Fair, and I still think dumb. I guess I'm an old timer, but it really seems to me the much smarter thing to do is route around Github entirely (and encourage others to do the same) then to play little tricks inside their walled garden.
