I'm still so irked that they didn't go full single payer and put everyone into one coverage pool.

Still, the supply side support necessary would also be an issue. For markets where the local going rate is expensive enough it would make a ton of sense to allocate military medical units to supplant the local market until more doctors of that type were in the area. If it takes long enough the military supply might even retire from the forces to open practices in that area.
Here's my reason: if what I see on screen doesn't match the code actually being committed, that freaks me out.

I don’t like to force things on people, but I usually buy people Moka pots. Moka pots ARE better but they make a different coffee. Moka pots are an espresso machine substitute more than a French press substitute.

I do recommend it though. Lots more options for coffee drinks.

Which stance of hers that I listed do you dispute? Ad hominem much?

I attached a link to an interview describing concrete circumstances. Did you watch it before making your assertion, for example?

If you suggest that is not representative or whatever please make your claim specific. Otherwise it must be you that cannot see reality when faced with it; I cannot take your comment seriously.
In India's case it was logistics issue. Initial decision was to keep migrant workers in place and provide them with daily necessities free. Some state govts didn't play ball and cut off electricity and rations. After that it took some time for central and various state govts to run special trains to the people. And it's not thousands of kms, 10s of kms.

I lived in a very orthodox Jewish neighborhood for a while and what you described is exactly what happens on Shabbat still (since there’s no phones being used).

People just feel welcome to drop by. The house is usually a total mess because « work » is not allowed, and there’s no gift bringing either because of religious reasons.

I always admired it. Just one day where no one’s working or traveling and everyone’s free to come over and hangout.

> - Homekit integration is really bad. It's quicker to pull out my key and unlock it manually than connect over BT and unlock it. It's even slower through the Level app.

HomeKey is meant to fix this, ie. it's an NFC key in your watch/phone wallet so whenever you hold your phone next to the lock it'll unlock without any network communication (and 'hold near' does not require double clicking side button, and it should work offline[0] like a transit pass, iirc)

No, I don't? And I doubt "the rest of society" does either?

(Most sites that show a consent banner tend to still "just work" even if you don't click any of the buttons - which is a fine way to comply with an idiotic law. They don't throw up a full page "give us your data before we show you anything" =)
Sort of. If you take the same disc between different drives it's possible to get different readings on each of the drives. Red Book audio data is at a fairly high frequency with multiple channels. A few corrupted samples are likely not noticeable. So its error correction is best effort and interpolates between previous and later samples. Two different drives with different read mechanisms and implementation of the Red Book standard might produce different samples when reading an error and depending on the nature of the error.

The more interesting and less reported question is the influence of David Sacks and Jason Calcanis in some of these decisions. We know that David in particular has form with coming in and cutting headcount early:

https://twitter.com/DavidSacks/status/804922277842272256

We also know both are right-leaning and I wonder how much of that factored in to the firing of the human rights, ethics, accessibility etc teams. The teams they may not appreciate but advertisers absolutely did.
If your disc is marginal, some data can end up being incorrect.

Depending upon the quality of the drive mechanism itself, and how it reports errors to the ripping software, you can end up with incorrect data more or less often.

I don’t know if Twitter suffered from bad management or made what some perceive as poor decisions. I don’t use it and have no stake in it.

Trump never had a problem reaching his supporters. If anything the Twitter ban gave him even more free press and another phony grievance to rage about on Fox News and every other outlet.

Believe what you want. I didn’t comment to engage in political debates, or to defend Twitter. Don’t use it. It only has significance and power if we believe it does.

You can do discrete Fourier transforms in Galois fields. That used to be more important when floating point was less ubiquitous. And if you’re designing custom hardware to do FFTs you can save a lot transistors if you’re willing to discretize.

Rents have gone up, and people have locked in historically low interest rates. Very few people actually have to sell, and outside of limited life situations, many will just shift to renting. That is why it is taking so long for prices to drop, and why they very well might never drop enough to match previous affordability before we hit a period of declining rates. If only 10% of owners on the market are actually feeling any financial pain, it is not enough to move the needle on the market price.

"Input: Michael is at that really famous museum in France looking at its most famous painting. However, the artist who made this painting just makes Michael think of his favorite cartoon character from his childhood. What was the country of origin of the thing that the cartoon character usually holds in his hand?

Model Output: The most famous painting in the Louvre is the Mona Lisa. The artist who made the Mona Lisa is Leonardo da Vinci. Leonardo da Vinci is also the name of the main character in the cartoon Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Leonardo da Vinci is from Italy. The thing that
Leonardo da Vinci usually holds in his hand is a katana. The country of origin of the katana is Japan. The answer is "Japan""
Twitter's CPM is absolutely pathetic [1].

The advertisers clearly didn't really care, or the impression price would have at least been comparable to Facebook — infamously a "brand safety" disaster, yet somehow far more effective at getting advertisers to pay.

I don't heat up leftovers, I just eat them cold. But we do have a microwave (we bought it at the beginning of the pandemic so we could heat up frozen meals--we didn't have one before). I had cold leftover pasta for lunch today. My wife turns up her nose at cold leftovers but I'm not picky.

I'm not sure I follow. I've had visas that classify me as a permanent resident for tax purposes. Even if I spent a minority of time there, I'd still need to file taxes, dual file and be able to prove my income was taxed in a jurisdiction having a tax treaty.

Working on a tourist visa is typically not allowed. At least in my experience it has always been strictly forbidden. So, I agree there are not proper visas for this, because it's not generally permissable.

Population statistics cannot be applied in order for you to decide what to do with your life because you are an individual.

The article states that 97% of "dieters" fail.

Okay, so too do 97% of people fail to get into Harvard or MIT or Cambridge or Facebook or whatever else. Yet here we are, you're on HN and oh look, loads of us made it, maybe even you.

It saddens me to think that one, even one person, would give up on their dream, simply because they were confronted with a statistic that most will fail. Sure, most will fail.

Some of the worst kind of long covid is neurological. I and others I know had non-trivial (10-25%) cognitive deficit for multiple months after covid. For some reason, I also experienced the same after receiving my latest bivalent booster, but for a much shorter period of time (1-2 weeks instead of 12).

There has been relatively little in the media about the cognitive/neurological costs of covid to our society. If you get covid and your "sickness" is over in a week or two and you go back to work but you've had 15 points knocked off your IQ for half a year, what is the true cost of that to an entire civilization when scaled up to the whole planet?

Given the choice between having had covid and living under an authoritarian regime for the last three years, I'd have chosen the latter.

It's due to China's Hukou system, a type of caste system, due to which rural workers can't obtain any govt benefits or even housing in cities. This leads to this kind of worker dorm situation.
Mine is not. If a table has 4 columns (e.g. name, address, phone, email), then all the names are stored separately from the addresses. Likewise all the phone numbers are stored separately from the emails. The data is de-duped so it is incredibly easy to find out how many of each value is in each column (e.g. there are 1,234,567 rows in the table where name = 'John').
Sure, but then you're simply a tourist. What purpose does the distinction serve?

Sometimes you may need to write code which runs in a browser as well as Node.js, and most test runners do not support this functionality out of the box, in order to run unit tests across all environments without duplicating the tests per environment.

So I made a little project with the number one goal of being a "ubiquitous" test runner, running tests against real browsers as well as Node.js w/o modifying tests to run between environments.

Ideally you give yourself a higher metabolic rate by e.g. building muscle, incorporating some sort of "required" exercise e.g. cycling to work, N days per week at the gym, whatever.

If you don't, then caloric deficit (or even maintenance) is so much harder because you may end up having to eat tiny amounts.
I don’t consider it to be social media. It’s a tech site I can add comments to. I’m not here to socialise. There are strict policies around discourse. It’s frowned on to speak about politics and can get you banned.

We never called bulletin boards “social media” back in the day. And they weren’t.
Fortran’s strengths with numbers, particularly multidimensional data and parallel computing, is partly why it’s still the go-to standard for crunching through weather modeling.
Hard Disagree.

Espresso and similar pressure based brewing (Moka Pot) is far superior with equal beans. Tastes way better, more flexibility in creating different drinks, very fast to brew, etc . If it’s too concentrated or hard to drink an espresso shot then you dilute it (for all you black-coffee drinkers, it’s ok to use milk, it’s still coffee).
That's an interesting channel, though I've personally found it problematic. Nearly all its videos are very strongly negative on China. That makes me wonder do they have an agenda and are they twisting the truth in some cases? Would be great to get any insight on this.

That would be a valid viewpoint if Musk hadn't bought the Twitter pig in a poke to bring back free speech. I guess the word I'm searching for is a "hypocrisy".

"Filling quotas" vs "hiring as many people as I can for clout" are different things and I suppose both are possible, but one imagines that both are enabled by the fundamental metric of generating revenue as justification.

You hire ahead of growth, so you need to overcorrect when contraction occurs so it makes sense that if revenues are now shrinking so are the staffing levels.. it kinda feels like these explanations are projecting some weird politics on to very basic business logic.

Twitter has always been a second-tier advertising platform behind Facebook/Google and its percentage of total ad spend reflects that.

It's why Musk's actions (or more likely David/Jason) have been so incompetent. Because now those advertisers have nothing but reasons not to come back.
I would expect that, like Mitt Romney, we'd find out that a lot of the justices have some weird bank accounts going on.
But that's just the thing: "more technically interesting" has a big intersection with "mentally exhausting". And sadly the things I'd code with a smile on my face don't look at all lucrative.

We'll see. The only way to break this cursed feedback loop is to have more energy in me -- physical and mental. I am working on it with positive results but it's way too slow.

I used Anki for learning Chinese and visiting the country.

Now I'm using a relatively new app called LingoDeer to supplement my Korean learning while also being in Korea

I'd say I like Lingodeer more than Duolingo / Memrise which didn't feel effective for real life situations since you could essentially go through the two apps without feeling the need to apply what you've learned.

Anki is more independent learning which is excellent for getting vocabulary down in my opinion.

I have a project (general-purpose data management system called Didgets: https://www.didgets.com) and I also have a blog (https://didgets.substack.com) that is a mix of information about my project and also about my general thoughts on various data management issues.

Anytime you put your ideas or projects before the public, you run the risk of criticism and/or ridicule; but don't let that stop you. If your project can truly do some amazing things (like I think mine does), eventually it will attract some interest. Even if someone uses it just to try and prove you wrong, take that as a win.
Cash buyers are not complete idiots. If the mortgage-based buyers they were competing with a year ago have 35% less buying power than why would they spend money they don't need to? The market where I live (Seattle suburbs) has completely reversed in the last year.

A year ago I was surprised if a house lasted more than a weekend, now I'm literally shocked when I see a house sell. I can think of two houses in my area I've seen with sold signs in the last couple months and there's dozens that have been sitting on the market for that time.
This is absolutely it. The "shopper" is not the payer, so why consider price?
FB knows a lot about their users and they have boat loads of them up for grabs; look-alike audiences can be very effective. Actually, I'd say that they're the only thing that makes FB worth advertising on, without them it's just a pit to throw money in. I don't know if the same can be said about twitter.
According to the California DMV, you can't ride a moped without a motorcycle licence:

There's been a lot of news coverage lately about how low inventory is going to continue to keep housing prices high, despite mortgages going up.

Basically people with 2%-3% mortgages are going to sit tight, because they can no longer afford a comparable house were they to move. Low inventory means prices won't drop as much as people hope with rising interest rates.

The only wild card here is what will happen with cash buyers, who aren't affected by mortgage rates.
I read what you wrote but still fail to see what it has to do with a claim that 1100W is the limit on US circuits and that is the reason Americans don’t use electric kettles.

Because that is what was being discussed.
I agree there are limitations, but Meta announced Project Cambria last year, with an expected resolution of 1230 DPI, up from 770 on Quest Pro.

Sacks and Calacanis both come across in their public and private communications (https://twitter.com/DavidSacks https://twitter.com/jason https://danluu.com/elon-twitter-texts/) as relatively ignorant and uncurious but incredible Elon ass-kissers. (Seems like Elon in general surrounds himself with such people, and is extremely sensitive to the mildest criticism.) While ideology could also contribute here, it doesn’t seem like the fundamental problem.
that's not really true. i've superheated tap water at least a dozen times. never had a negative consequence from it, besides having to clean up some water, so it's also not something that really bothers me. from my experience the superheated state can be surprisingly stable, a couple times only explosively boiling over while being poured, instead of the moment I grab the container.

edit: as far as 'nobody' using Pyrex, my preferred container for heating water is a big Pyrex measuring cup.
They do, actually, due to Hukou. There is not complete freedom of movement within China.
> Meanwhile, countries like Canada and France have embraced automatic traffic cameras — devices that are banned in many US states — to deter speeding and running red lights.

Those cameras make traffic less safe, because once they're in place, municipalities shorten yellow lights to collect more revenue from them. If other countries that have those are safer, it's despite them, not because of them.

> Some argue that deaths per mile driven is a better comparison, since it takes into account the added risks of driving more miles, as Americans are wont to do. But this flunks the test of common sense. Consider: If traffic deaths are flat, but everyone drives twice as far, is society safer?

This is completely wrong. Deaths per mile driven is correct, and it's deaths per capita that flunks the test of common sense. For example, compare the deaths per capita caused by playing Russian roulette vs. train crashes. Is riding a train more dangerous than Russian roulette?
Based on the negative toxicity and backstabbing coming out of this company I would have sacked everyone and started again.

We can speculate, but will have to see what job losses look like over the next 12-18 months, Boomers (10k per day retire) trying to downsize or tap their equity to support themselves in retirement, etc before boldly proclaiming sales with seize up as rates climb. Life happens, some people will need to sell, even if that means losing their sweet 2-3% rate. Cash buyers know what these assets are worth at these interest rates, it’s unlikely they’re going to Wile E Coyote over the cliff because mortgage buyers stopped at the edge.
