Eh, kinda, but it's not like you can walk into an ER with just any condition and get treated for free. You've got to be having pretty serious problems before they're required to do anything about it, and even then they're not required to fully treat you, just get you stable.

Loved that demo. Still have the code for it. TopSpeed Modula-2 was superb, so much so that even as a college student I bought it - twice, because I damaged the first one.
Be cautious with this. Lots of kids need adopting no doubt. But adoption can be extraordinarily difficult for parents. I speak from experience. It's not something to be taken lightly.
Number one priority on any emergency scene. Life safety... my crew comes first, but I have taken some serious risk to save people. Once the humans and animals are safe, everything else is less concerning. Risk a lot to save a lot. Most "things" can be replaced. My crew takes great pride in saving homeowners animals these days as we now have some tools to help post smoke/heat exposure (Cyanokit and O2).
We don’t know that. We sometimes see small trades post IPO 100% higher than the IPO price but rarely would an investment bank turn down more money to give a better deal to a client. If there were 15 investors offering $100M at one time, they are going to be firm on the price they pay. A trade of 100 shares post IPO is not relevant. In fact, we did a bunch of SPACs because they offered better “price discovery” and we are seeing the results.
I agree with the first sentence. Your code should throw custom exceptions.

But it shouldn’t wrap other exceptions, if they are obvious. If library.readconfigfile(path) throws an IO exception while reading the file, just let it bubble up to the caller and don’t bother handling it. Just make sure your internal state is clean (catch..finally)
What's the best way to learn machine learning without a real GPU or a budget for cloud time? There's lots of demos and stuff that can run on low end CPUs, but is that close enough in terms of skill to what you'd actually be doing on the job to be worth it?
I suspect we're in some serious philosophy territory now. I find it problematic to insist that since governments make laws, they then are exempt from moral criticism. Just because a government can make a law doing something doesn't mean it's a morally permissible thing to do.

I guess the word "stolen" could have a legalistic interpretation, but there's surely a moral one as well. And I think the legal discussion is entirely uninteresting -- of course a country can write whatever law they want and follow it. What is interesting to me is whether the law and/or act is moral.
Hmm, good call. Your comment about longer lifespans having an indirect impact on the spread of personal genetic material is also insightful. Glad to be corrected!

I mean, it depends what you mean by 'replace'. Mastodon is already filling many of the functions that twitter filled for millions of people. Will it be a like-for-like replacement for Twitter? Of course not; I don't think anyone's saying that. But as Twitter crumbles, it's a place for many Twitter users to go which will work for many purposes.

> the people who had bleu checks before the $7.99 fee are addicted to attention, validation, and/or lording their bleu check status over others.

You're talking about, maybe, on the order of 50,000 people there. To a large extent... who cares? Extremely high follower count people are important to Twitter's _business model_ (or were, when it had one), but arguably not all that important to the _average user_.
Yes, that's what a log scale does to a graph. But why do you feel a log scale is appropriate in this situation? To me, a linear scale is a much better choice. The underlying data isn't necessarily exponential, so there isn't a compelling reason to use a log scale.
They certainly worded it poorly, but what they meant was "voodoo doesn't work". As in, educate your patient about their wacky home remedies, and try to get them to engage with realistic recovery outcomes.

From the paper:

> E for educate

> Therapists should educate patients on the benefits of an active approach to recovery. Passive modalities, such as electrotherapy, manual therapy or acupuncture, early after injury have insignificant effects on pain and function compared with an active approach, and may even be counterproductive in the long term. Indeed, nurturing an external locus of control or the ‘need to be fixed’ can lead to therapy- dependent behaviour. Better education on the condition and load management will help avoid overtreatment. This in turn reduces the likelihood of unnecessary injections or surgery, and supports a reduction in the cost of healthcare (eg, due to disability compensation associated with low back pain). In an era of hi- tech therapeutic options, we strongly advocate for setting realistic expectations with patients about recovery times instead of chasing the ‘magic cure’ approach.

Yeah. I'll pay a la carte for a show I want to watch--but I suspect not enough. And all-you-can eat subscription streaming has become so established that I'm pretty sure a lot of people don't even consider an a la carte rental or purchase as something to even consider; it's pirate or just watch something on the streaming services they have.

Well… the whole ‘ancient apocalypse theory’ might be discredited, but the sites they visit date back extremely far into our ancient history. It also shows that pockets of architectural knowledge rapidly advanced and then receded all across the known world. One thing is for sure, the human story is far from a ladder, with periods of around 1000 years of advancements and then everything collapses for a couple generations.

I think it goes back to the OP’s original point… there are some things we cannot ever know for sure but they are fun to learn and talk about.
You are doing well than the vast number of people your age

The fact you are seeking help means you are on a good path

What we all seek is happiness

All the goals you think you missed are meant to bring happiness

It’s never too late to seek and experience the happiness

We all must find it uniquely it seems you sad that you didn’t use the same framework as most you think to use ( wife, kids, house, money)

Start where you are and focus on finding your happiness every day and you will be fine

Can seek therapy, good sleep, and physical activity routine

My Best wishes and I truly believe you can fulfill your destiny and purpose anytime you are ready for it as it doesn’t take time to do that

Twitter only works because it is centralized. The fediverse works less and less well as the number of federated instances increase. It has anti-scaling properties. And, on the non-technical side, it has a disorganized anonymous set of moderators you've never met or ever heard of, with no particular guiding philosophy or rules, and these guys have total access to your profile and they can do anything they want.

On the technical side, the whole thing is lossy as hell. If I view a foreign profile on my instance it shows a handful of posts and then says that "older posts" aren't shown from other instances. Then if I go to the other instance there are hundreds of posts that aren't older, they were just missing on my instance. None of it really works or makes any sense.

My dad would tell me of roadside chili houses in the southwestern USA (Texas, California, etc.) that always had a pot of chili going that they would ladle out to hungry travelers. The meat in the chili supposedly varied according to what was available: usually beef, pork, or roadkill.
I've had the opposite experience myself. At my last job we switched from Java to Clojure and found that similar types of projects were much faster to develop and easier to maintain. My team also hired a lot of coop students and junior devs that we trained up.

I find the mistake people often make is to get clever with Clojure. Using macros when regular functions would do is a good example of that. It is absolutely possible to write impenetrable Clojure if you start doing weird things just because you can.

However, I find the beauty of Clojure is precisely in the fact that you can write simple and direct code that solves the problem in a clean way without the need to get clever.

My biggest advice for structuring maintainable Clojure projects is to keep things simple, and to break things up into small components that can be reasoned about independently.
This actually hasn't always been the case.

In fact Hospitals were not required to treat you until 1986, which was part of the COBRA act.

Prior to that there was a large practice of "Patient Dumping" where a hospital would kick you out if they found out they you couldn't pay for your treatment. Hospitals in the US would literally let you die out side the ER doors.

The article is pretty light on AMC's mis-steps. Just as an example, The Walking Dead:

First they let go of Frank Darabont who probably could have used a chill pill and a secretary between him and Outlook, not firing. Then they started wild deviations from a much-beloved series (I even bought my mother the huge printed tomes, she loved the show), and more and more decisions to milk it and send it off the rails at the same time. Show should have ended some time back, and spinoffs why?

They really hamstrung Shudder. About their only smart move with Shudder is having Joe Bob Briggs on. Shudder's horror catalog is only about two or three times the size of what you can get on Netflix. I haven't done a really heavy analysis of overlaps, but Tubi has a shocking amount of stuff Shudder has on. But sure, let's fire a lot of good people at Shudder instead of working on picking up some good stuff to watch.

Three months, ten million dollar severance. Nice work if you can get it, I suppose, but budget-wise ...

They absolutely need to have one overarching team working on all of their apps, because various apps they own fumble differently on different devices. That's a lot of duplicated effort when it could be shared.

Then there's Interview with the Vampire. Everything I have read suggests that it has a bad case of "I Need to Put My Stamp on This" from one or more creatives, starting with the cast. Claudia has been aged-up, again, which more than a little negates the whole purpose behind the character, and Daniel ... I don't even know what to say. I like Bogosian but he isn't the guy for the part by a few decades.

AMC needs to get tight and smart.

An alternative to CBT that you might want to consider is Internal Family Systems. I find it to be a more holistic and compassionate form of therapy that respects your entire internal system.

Sometimes we have internal parts that need love and care more than they need lecturing on cognitive distortions.

CBT is effective for many people which is great, but there are other options.
We are cameras on preferred but if you have a reason not to or don't feel like it that day it isn't a big deal. We find cameras help with keeping people engaged in the meeting as well as help with body language.

Eh I don't think a random non-judgemental arbiter would have the same efficacy. Therapy also usually involves teaching specific tools for dealing with negative thoughts. Parts of that could be outsourced to a workbook, but at times there is helpful personalization that occurs.

It's totally true that it requires some buy-in, but so does an exercise routine. Things that require effort require buy-in.

It is also true that there's a ton of variance and that some people who give it an honest try still don't really improve. This stuff is still really poorly understood for the most part, and I don't think therapy is a silver bullet. Neither is anything else anyone suggests.

So yeah therapy is far from perfect, but I think it's selling it a bit short to suggest that the entire effect boils down to a facilitated self-conversation.

I also don't get why others are so annoyed by the therapy suggestion, as I don't really see the downside of trying it. OP should look into all the options he might have, which IMO is the point of seeking community advice. You're not going to get an exact answer from HN comments, just some ideas.
Yes and no.

Defensive operations on an active fire ground are standard operating procedures; no argument.

But most departments do not operate the way this department in Tennessee does where they did not run the call when it was received because the caller was not on their participant list.

They would have likely encountered a brush fire or, at most, a room and contents fire from the structures closest exposure based on the story and they would not have let it just freely burn.

China Startup Hopes Methane-Powered Rocket Will Beat SpaceX to Orbit
I agree that HBO's brand has been broken, but that happened independent of the decision to remove canceled titles from the streaming back catalog. It happened first with the initial purchase by AT&T when the strategy 180'd from high-quality boutique productions released in small numbers one at a time to an attempt to emulate the Netflix "throw shit at the wall and see what sticks" strategy, then again with the panic reaction to the pandemic releasing all Warners films on HBO Max rather than giving any exclusive theatrical run, pissing off directors and actors, then yet again when AT&T promptly bowed out and Warners merged with Discovery and they seemed to now reverse a bunch of the original decisions, canceling both shows and planned movies left and right and resetting the entire DCEU in the process.

Not even sure where to throw in the weird tendency to release all of these "limited" series they change their minds on and throw out adhoc future seasons that come out of nowhere and make no sense because the initial run generates some buzz. I'm just glad they started doing that after Chernobyl and at least didn't ruin that one.

Also putting aside the confusing launch of HBO Max itself, while also keeping HBO Go and HBO as a channel available for subscription from other streaming services, and all of the bugs the app had within the first few years of release.

They've been a complete shitshow for years now, obviously having no real plan that any set group of leaders consistently believes in. I'm reasonably sure having old titles becoming unavailable unless you bought a physical copy isn't a new thing anyway. What's new here is doing it to titles that were barely canceled just now, not to mention the whole Batgirl thing producing an entire movie and not even releasing it at all anywhere.
Interesting idea. Really fast food because it's so slow.
>They can’t violate it, because it doesn’t restrict them in any way.

So to be clear, their policy says if you link to a website that links to a website that links to something other than twitter? Or they were so ambiguous that they can selectively ban whoever they want due to the nature of the internet?
NIF being a "military facility" has less to do with laser weapons or power-hungry systems than their type of research indirect drive laser-fusion, being the exact mechanism that takes place in multiple-stage nuclear weapons. The lasers at NIF first generate x-rays, which are then focused on the target to energize the pellet and create fusion.

If you look at the "shot history" of NIF -- the vast majority of their facility's energy is spent on actual DOD weapons research, not fusion power research that would be incidentally beneficial to the DOD:

"Nah man, I got work to do now... just thought I was gonna die for a second." Anxiety and Panic... number one call type.

When your trombone doesn't fit in your pocket
If you are self funding, and/or funding from friendly, unsophisticated investors initially, consider first an S-Corp (that’s just an IRS election) then transition to C when you have your first professional funding and need multiple classes of stock. Easy taxes, your portion of the losses just go on your 1040. Only a single class of stock is allowed though thus the transition when you take investment from professional investor.
There are rational reasons to reduce risk, even if it isn't some game theoretic optimum. One can easily imagine that certain owners either were concerned about an increased risk of fire or high damages in such an event and we're willing to bear the costs.

The incentives are very clear, if nobody does it, no fire brigades will exist. (I can also imagine other reasons, e g. membership might have been required by some law or by association.) And in the end every fire which is extinguished is a fire which didn't spread.

Just some little aside, today there are people who do firefighting for free. What are the incentives for that?
Fires are pretty rare, I'd take that bet.

> I thought that taxes were supposed to pay for basic neighborhood services

Neighbourhood is the operative word here. In some parts of the rural United States, homes are far away and far between. Public services of the kind expected in populated areas are impractical, particularly for protection of property rather than life.

With that as a baseline, some "rural" areas maintain this peculiar, low-cost characteristic even as they become more populated. There's a degree of self-sorting behaviour as well, since some residents become attracted to the area specifically for its vanishingly small local tax burden.
Unfortunately this might not be the truth any longer, as it has adopted a new pricing model that is far stingier with gpu time and very confusing to properly track and predict.
