A lot of modern medicine is factory work, there is no time or interest for the patient. It's the same reason people with symptoms that aren't immediately obvious get diagnosed with anxiety.

It can be life-destroying when it's systemic, a lot of disabled people find that when they age out of pediatric care no one will touch them, not doctors, not physiotherapists, nobody.
This does not look like marketing as such, it is usually generated as part of sales (cold) outreach, Sales/Business Development representatives send this type of thing to customers when they are prospecting.

Marketing is different strategy. SDRs/BDRs are looking at very specific accounts and targeting specific people vs marketing which is typically not specific.
Long before there was Tesla and SpaceX there was Zip2 and Paypal; both software. Elon is first and foremost a software engineer. Yes, Twitter is social / content. But who better than someone who understands the platform well enough to have 100 Million followers to help take it to the next level?
See, this is where a car and a social network are fundamentally different.

I own a Tesla. It’s a good car (although I’m unhappy about how much I paid for the FSD package which was nothing of the sort — borderline advertising fraud). Next year I’m probably buying another car, and if Tesla is still the best for the money, I’ll get one regardless of my personal feelings.

But with Twitter it’s not an objective decision. The app doesn’t deliver quantifiable day-to-day value like a car does. Now that I’ve removed Twitter from my life, it’s very unlikely that I’d ever go back.

MySpace did a lot of product changes in 2008 to bring back the users who had defected to FB. Nothing moved the needle. That’s just how it is with these products. I’m surprised Elon pretends to be oblivious to this dynamic.

My 10-year experience with Twitter was one of frustration. I had almost 1,000 followers, I tweeted regularly, tried to be nice and occasionally witty, replied and retweeted mostly useful stuff. Yet I never got any engagement. A few likes on a tweet was the upper limit of interest. Every other social media platform is much better at rewarding regular users like me. But Musk doesn’t seem to want to address this; instead he wants to bring back Trump. Why should I stay?
Probably not the wisest time to mention the concept of forking.

This is a strange comment. Russia didn't object to growing NATO ties with Ukraine over moral outrage, it objected based on balance of power politics. The US and NATO chose to ignore it, and we are seeing the predictable result. The issue that faces is us whether Russia will escalate to nuclear weapons if all their conventional means are exhausted by the US's continued involvement.

To be honest, why don’t you look up terms you’re unfamiliar with yourself first before asking such a question? It doesn’t take more than 10-20 seconds.
I have a lot of experience with doctors. I've found regardless of what you look like unless you're going to a concierge clinic you wont even get the time of day from most of them. It seems to be a volume business, and thus they just go through the motions. Much like tech with engineers, the good doctors seem to leave as soon as you find them.
I don’t understand your argument. A guy who got his PhD 7 years after the GFC should have foreseen the impact of low interest rates.

He is making a very rational argument that interest rates are rising and the share of corporate profits available for stockholders will be lower.

Show HN: Virtual JSON Viewer – Virtual DOM, Full Text Search and JQ
I built a custom tailored browser extension for rendering and navigating Json responses and files, hopefully it could be useful also to someone else.

Why? I often need to debug fairly large json files (10MB+). For a time I used a combination of JQ in the terminal for filtering and Firefox native viewer for full text search.

Lua hits my personal sweet spot for robustness vs. precision, Python is good enough to be worth criticizing, but hey, pleasant enough.

Lisps are a good example of using emptiness well, I wouldn't want an empty Lua table to be false, but you can't do classic Lisp programming without a falsy empty list, I wouldn't have it any other way. Large Lisp programs have their problems but it isn't the empty list causing those.

I wouldn't want to use Lil for the things I use Lua for. I think it's a great match for what Decker is doing here.

If you have home automation system like home assistant or apple homekit, you can add pihole and adguard home to them. Both pihole and adguard home has home assistant integration, which let you add a toggle in your home assistant page to quickly disable it. There is also a 3rd party homekit integration, so you can ask siri to temporarily disable it. If you use android, home assistant has google assistant integration so you can use voice command on your android phone to control it.

>Arresting people for going into a local park is considered to be more left wing? Locking down people is considered to be more left wing?

Generally yes, the leftists like to control individuals and consider the state more important than individuals and their freedom.
N=1, but I can confirm the experience of being disabled and getting medical care is mutually frustrating. Taylorism and one-size-fits-all fails hard.

Appointment times are standardized, despite patients not being standard. I know I'm going to take extra time. I have multiple chronic conditions, getting treatment is a mess. But I can't arbitrarily ask for more time during booking; it's all automated now. Worse, I need to confirm the doctor kept in mind _all_ of this in my treatment plan, because I've had awful reactions when they haven't.

This is terrible for the doctor. I'm making them go over time, be late to the rest of their appointments for the day, and asking them for extra energy and brain cycles for treatment, for no extra money.

And that's not even including accommodations I might need.

I don't blame doctors for not wanting me in their practice. Controls put in place by administrators and insurance companies make me a pain in the ass to treat instead of a fun puzzle. Incentives make me more expensive, with lower payoff and higher risk.

Which... is fucked.

Yep. Everything turned to garbage when "it all went digital", in the early 2000s. Now every single electronic product from appliances to vehicles are completely broken. Even the average thermostat spazzes out. There's no standard for anything.
If there is a reasonable suspicion that the airplanes are not of considerable quality beyond rumours online and there is an honest intent to fix the airplanes rather than dispose of the ones that are deemed unnecessary, such a plan could certainly be executed over several weeks or months.

In this case, there is a major scramble to test every employee as quickly as possible by outsiders who have no idea how the company operates, what their standards are like, or what the problem space is about.

Barely self driving cars controlled by touch screens are almost entirely disconnected from a social media network other than that both employ programmers. Everything from the data processing location to the user interaction model is vastly different. The standards of quality of different components vastly differ; a UI bug in Twitter is far from catastrophic unlike a UI bug in your car, but a backend bug in Twitter can sink the business whereas a backend bug with Tesla can be annoying at worst.

I'm sure Tesla's developers are competent but the environment they operate in is completely different from the environment the people they review operate in.

At worst, the entire review produces no usable results because the Tesla developers don't have time to study the code base and validate any of the claims the devs make. At worst, the rushed reports are used to bypass layoff laws by providing a "reason" to fire people.

Either way, the end result is that the entire process is no more than pointless busywork for Tesla's people and has no real benefit to the Twitter code base.

Knowing Elon's intentions to fire half of Twitter but his subsequent retraction (probably advice from his lawyers because of layoff laws) I think it's foolish not to be sceptical of this entire event.

Code review can be a great tool to improve a business when it's done well; however, the rate at which things are progressing now indicates to me that this isn't done well.

There is also an interesting relationship between government surplus/balance sheet and corporate profits.

If you are non-cynical about it, and consider a theoretical model (closed system), then from basic economics if one actor is running a surplus than another actor must be running a deficit, otherwise the accounts don't balance.

And while true, "it's only a model" (in the immortal words of John Cleese, looking at the model of Camelot in "MP and the Holy Grail"), if you chart the two against each other it holds up relatively well in reality.

This is relevant because the Fed is also committed to shrinking its balance sheet, which, if that model holds, will also shrink corporate profits.

Higher cost of capital, higher taxes, and less money in the pot. We've had a good run the last 40 years, the next 7 might not be so rosey.
This is why there is an unsubscribe link for unsolicited spam/ad email as legally required. Just use it. Unsolicited email isn't illegal so you just have to deal with it. I wish I was -only- getting spam from datadog that I could opt out of instead of unceasing spam from places that the unsubscribe link is just a confirmation that your email address is real.
The ADA is a definitely a case of great idea, terrible execution. Unfortunately, doctors (and really businesses in general) are forced into a no-win situation where as you stated you either comply in the fullest legally, or face a potential customer looking for a reason to sink your business. Where I live, the ADA is also responsible for some of the large increase in home prices over the last 20 years.

I wish it differentiated between necessary things like ramps, spots in a waiting area, etc, vs unnecessary things. There are just simply too many disabilities for even an honest, well intentioned business owner to keep up with. Of course, without retaining an insanely expensive lawyer.

That's nonsense.

If a billionaire ended up destitute and anonymous without their connections, living in the street, they'd lack a lot of the knowledge about survival that many poor people have.

The only thing going for them might be if they are manipulative psychopaths and can get other people to do things for them. But I don't don't see how that is any better morally than getting a ”handout”.

Seriously, if you are living on the street with only the clothes on your back, how are you going to "create wealth"?

Well at least you accept that mask mandates were wrong, even though you also attack people "operating at the level of masks don't work". Seems like a contradiction.

Germany mandated FFP2 masks quite a while ago. They didn't have any effect there either, and that is exactly as expected. To repeat: these viruses can spread through drainpipes connecting apartments. They can drift on the air between buildings. They can be suspended for hours in rooms and hallways. They can spread through air ducts in living quarters whilst people sleep. It's obvious why masks of any kind had no effect given this fact, nor could they have done. You seem to be believing that if only everyone had worn a slightly tighter fit of higher grade mask, things would have been different. But, people aren't ever going to wear gas masks 24/7 including in bed and in the shower. That's the whole reason that even biolabs use filters integrated into the building, not strapped to people's faces.

That's why the idea you can fight respiratory virus epidemics with masks is just directionally wrong. You keep acting like this is the fault of the public, but it's just straightforward common sense given what the data says.
> In your career, how often have you seen good software engineers whose main contribution was deleting code ?

Depends on the size and age of the company. In a startup, approximately never since the job is to build something out of nothing.

In a large enterprise with decades of codebase history to be optimized, very frequently.
It would be possible if there were lots of competent universities but, clearly, given the lack of quality of current software and hardware full of digital crap (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33390906#33394351), this is not the case.
I’ve been writing C++ code since it’s inception in the 1980’s. In the last two weeks I’ve written close to 1000 lines and no raw ptrs… in fact no smart ptrs either… not even one c-style array. No worries about leaks or memory safety. It doesn’t look anything like C++ code I wrote even 10 years ago.
Some green energy advocates are pushing the narrative of that we can replace fossil fuels with wind/solar. Fossil fuel advocates are trying to push the narrative that green energy is too intermittent to make a reliable grid. Both see it as a zero sum game - the other side loses, they win. In that light, political fights are inevitable.

Reality is that no energy source is replacing any other, we're simply growing the overall pie. All that new wind and solar is merely added on top of natural gas electricity production, which itself is growing. For now.
Highcharts is an insanely good value
Definitely, yes, but exists nuances.

Auto safety divided to active and passive parts.

Active part are what working before accident - powerful engine, reliable brakes, good suspension, right tires, and in many cases you could just install best components and will have better safety than on median new car.

Passive part, what works if accident happen - strong safety shell (tube frame addition like in rally cars), multi-point belts (4-5-6 points, instead of standard 3-points), possible to install some soft and non-flammable interior panels.

For some design flaws it is possible to add fixes - for example, first ZAZ-1102 Tavria's have flaw, that on accident hood broke off the hinges and flies through
windshield accurately to driver neck, and in later machines welded to hood safety corner, which hooks to frame if hinges broken.

Also you could add reinforcing arcs and many other addons.

And least, armored capsule made auto much safer, but it cost/weight could be prohibitive.
Usually it implemented on large autos, like f-250, with large size/weight and large engine, but technologies grow, once it will be acceptable for smallest cars.

If Musk would have announced the details of the layoffs within 24 hours of closing the twitter deal, commentators would have said, “So soon after taking over it is be impossible to make an informed decision about how to restructure and who to keep and who to layoff.

If he uses the best means of making an informed decision (use capable engineers he trusts and that are outsiders to twitter) and takes some time to properly consult, commentators say, “It is complete chaos and an information vacuum. He is just driving fear.”

It is right to closely watch people in power. But it doesn’t absolve each of us of the responsibility to hold us to similar standards when commenting. Most commentators come across as being in a hysterical, and not in a judicious frame of mind.

> coach and mentor developers [rather than] vet their code.

How do you teach these things concretely without discussing specific code? How do you tell if the lessons are sticking without checking their future work?

Aside from that, neither TDD nor DevOps practices will get you idiomatic (relative to internally and externally) code, documentation, non-requirement performance worth a damn, test suites that are any good to begin with, etc. etc.. If you're running through a backlog of CRUD-ish features or whatever maybe those don't matter, though then I also wonder why the need for TDD instead of just a good CI pipeline.
I was curious how much the Phoenix missile itself cost. Some sources state a development cost of $167M, and a unit cost of ~$500k (with ~5000 built), adding up to about $2.5B, some of which was recouped by sales to Iran.

It's impossible to say how much money was spent on aircraft capable of firing the missile, since they were also designed to do other things, and raw production/maintenance costs are hard to track down anyway. The Tomcat alone seems to have cost tens of billions to build and operate.

Ultimately, "the AIM-54 has been used in 62 air-to-air strikes, all by Iran during the eight-year Iran–Iraq War" (Wikipedia).

Whether or not this outcome was "expensive" is up to the American taxpayer, I guess.

I can only speak from my own experience. In my own experience, commit messages have saved me time. Documentation has saved me time. Not having had these things has sent me down hours long rabbit holes having to figure out why something existed.

Reading the code doesn't tell me anything about why the developer did something a certain way, some important bit of context. Also in my experience, developers who don't explain anything in commit messages also don't explain anything in comments or elsewhere. So my day is spent encountering dozens of Chesterson's Fences. If those fences simply had a sign on them explaining why they were there I could more easily know whether they could be torn down.

As a recent example, our macOS build hosts were running an alternate sshd on port 2222. Why was it there? What was wrong with using the sshd on port 22? If I tear it down and it doesn't seem to break anything, should I worry whether there's some use case I hadn't thought of? This alternate sshd was started by a shell script, so there was a place to add a comment saying why it was there, but there was no comment. The shell script was kept in git, but there was no explanation on the commit message or its PR. Eventually I was able to track down that it was due to a bug in Xcode that hadn't been relevant in over 5 years. However much time that developer saved by not documenting their work (a minute? 5 minutes?), I lost more than an hour having to figure out. I'll bet that developer is still going around not documenting their work and maybe they get promoting for shipping things fast. But then they move on and I get their mess.
Also, power supply design (including power cables) is a really foundational piece for any electronic device, and the one that typically causes complete failure/letting the blue smoke out if not done carefully. And of course, safety/fire issues if screwed up particularly badly.

It is weird that in their push to all time high TDP they didn’t spend more time thinking about it. That said, cutting edge often means bleeding edge, something something.
“I more or less refuse to read anything with a question as the title.”
