MedicareAdvantage is one of those things where people say, "Oh. It's Medicare and it has all this extra stuff!" because living on basic Medicare is expensive and finding appropriate physicians can be daunting because of high deductables and low cash to practitioners. It's not a scam but an attempt to provide better care.

The problem is that it's almost always run by insurance companies and they're concerned about profit rather than the individual. Think of it in the same way as you would a PPP or basic HMO plan from your employer. Other than the oddities such as money to pay for over-the-counter medication (limited to $40 per quarter) there's little-to-no difference.

It's not the government limiting the care but rather the insurance companies protecting their profits. It's capitalism in action. Deal with it.
Hard to get more vague than impacted, that could mean anything. I was impacted by reading this bland PR release.

Impacted still implies some causal connection, so the next level of doublespeak must avoid that, then. John was affine to the event.

> Just a python -m venv per project, a requirements.txt, and you will basically never have issues.

As long as you always remember to run exactly the right two commands every time you work on any project and never run the wrong ones, or run project A's commands in project B's terminal. There's no undo BTW, if you ever do that you've permanently screwed up your setup for project B and there's no way to get back to what you had before (your best bet is destroying and recreating project B's venv, but that will probably leave you with different versions of dependencies installed from what you had before).

(And as others have said, that doesn't cover multiple versions of Python, or native dependencies. But even if your project is pure python with only pure python dependencies that work on all versions, venv+pip is very easy to mess up and impossible to fix when you do)

These things are why I really like the US legal innovation of bad faith failure to insure, which makes a failure of an insurer to pay out when they reasonably should a tort rather than just a breach of contract.

2013 They delete everyone's subscriptions AND everyone's subscribers. Blogs come and go every day in large numbers. No more subscribers means it is time to let it go and go do something else. After years building an audience google moved in to embrace, extend, and extinguish. At the time I had many thousands of RSS subscriptions (in my own aggregator), I could see the post frequency decline and the comments dry up by the thousands.

2011 They killed blog search.

2007-2009 They hired Kevin Marks, Technorati's lead architect. And in 2014 Technorati died.

2005, Google, MSN Search and Yahoo created an initiative to help kill the eco system of organic links in comment. They chose to promote the Nofollow attribute to portray everyone and their references as spam. Spam is defined here as not obeying their webdesign orders. We might have gone a bit over the top with etiquette and "rules of civility" say 200 years ago but instruction to treat your guests as spammers??? Punishment if you don't comply!

You may link to a limited number of things from your article/blog post but it must be approved materials following their instructions. Sometimes one needs to point out others are wrong on the internet. It is arguably what we do online? I write down my thoughts, you tell me I'm wrong? The idea one should not link to the "wrong" publication is not constructive to the dialog.

But you can still post your articles to google wave and knol and to your google pages (joking) How about under that amateurish cookie banner defacing blogspot or google groups? usenet?

They are endlessly tinkering with the search algorithm trying to find worthy results, dictating how we should shoot web (or else!), but everyone and their mum already gave up making websites for fun. Even developers who could put something together in a few hours at best have websites with just their resume on it.

Its like.. Google talk > google hangout > google chat. Ahh, they finally stopped talking.
The article doesn't seem to mention whether they are only canceling the season for big time commercial fishing or for all fishing altogether. I suspect it's the latter. Too bad that the government can't seem to grasp the concepts of scale and profit motive. The wildlife populations are getting wrecked from large scale fishing operations mass-scraping the sea clean, not from Joe Sixpack dipping their rod in the ocean on the weekend and hoping to come home with one or two fish.

Professional C++ is the 1072 page book that taught me modern C++, for what it's worth. I have the physical copy. And even then I have gripes with some of it's contents! The Rust book is second to none, tbh, and I say this as someone who doesn't really write Rust.

"Short term risk can be mitigated by ensuring your companies have enough non-SVB cash on hand to make payroll."

How do you do that without causing a bank run? Tell all the CFOs "Don't be alarmed, but you need to initiate a small wire transfer from SVB to anywhere else that will cover things like payroll and your electric bill for the next couple months. No big rush, just try to do that in the next 45 minutes. But walk, certainly don't run.".

Digital stoics should not complain that their stoicism presents hurdles. It’s dissonant. Instead they should revise their stance. Absolute idealism is counterproductive.

Either be a digital stoic without complaining that your lifestyle choice limits your access OR have a more average “digital stance” and have no reason to complain.
I suppose it comes down to your definition of "by hand," but creating custom allocators for your application and arranging your memory layout carefully can still absolutely be a worthwhile endeavor.

Especially when performance matters (eg: high frequency trading systems, video games, constrained embedded systems, and more), the improved locality that you can get from custom memory management can be worth it all on its own.

For a good talk on this subject, see Lakos "Local Memory Allocators" presentation:

Gosh I despise CMake. I despise it so much, I'm halfway through the process of extricating ESP-IDF from it.
When I cared about stability I picked a big employer from which one would expect prudency. When I worked at a small company, I expected it to get ruined at any moment and planned accordingly. Since I became self-employed, I care a great deal about which bank I use and never put all eggs in one basket.

As I said: maybe they should.

> The depositors are getting 100% of their money because the fed is lending against their assets at par.

And FMV is less than par, so that's an undercollateralized loan. That's another component of the subsidy to SVB depositors, and also a subsidy to shareholders of other banks that overexposed themselves to long-term debt (though too late for the SVB shareholders). There's no rational economic basis for this change in policy, and it goes against all modern central banking theory.

I hope you don't think holding the bond to maturity somehow means the loss isn't real? All bonds get held to maturity by someone (unless they default, but that's not the problem here). The FMV of a bond is ultimately determined by the value of those cash flows to that person; so if the FMV went down, then that should be a clue that value was fundamentally lost, regardless of who holds it.

The SVB's problem was that their HTM accounting treatment didn't model economic reality. The government is leaning into that fiction somewhat here, out of some combination of favoritism and concern for systemic risk. That doesn't make the fiction true though, and it doesn't mean the loss disappears; it just means the loss gets socialized.
I’m sincere when I type this so I hope someone can help me understand. This type of “art” seems exploitative to me. Certainly many viewers are shocked by the poverty on display in the richest nation on earth. And that’s valid and understandable, and.. obvious? It feels like the people and their condition are cheapened and objectified by the pictures.

Before the advent of fiat currency, inflation wasn't really much of an issue, so loaning someone X amount of money and getting paid back the same amount of money didn't result in a loss. With inflation, interest at a minimum would need to match inflation to not lose money.

"multiple layers of emergent properties."

I think that is the key, right there! And we need to choose which layers are necessary, sufficient, and/or useful for the purpose.
>The delta-T that is correctly cited as being "around a max of 20°F" is the delta in temperature across the evaporator (IOW between the return duct and the supply duct [aka the goes-inta and the goes-outta]).

well said. i have temp sensor on supply and return and I graph them and delta, to make sure that hvac works within proper parameters. otherwise during heat waves you start thinking that hvac maybe out of shape
the rest of my point is the same, if a bank has a chief risk officer, it's the President of the bank, or an EVP. There are quants who track, measure and calculate financial risk, but that's a line responsibility, they're not chiefs. If you want to call the President of a "financial risk banking company" the chief of something, he's CEO, not CRO, even though risk management is his main job.
Shhh, if he actually explains what he does in plain english people might figure out that it's huge fucking grift.

I don't know--those are edge cases, let the legislators figure them out later. Too often we give up with "it can't be done" because we can't find a perfect solution for every little edge case. Instead of at least taking an imperfect but vital first step, we do nothing.
In fairness to C++, you could derive a class from std::variant and add methods to it that way.

It's less awkward with Rust's enums for sure though. And pattern matching as in Rust is far more expressive (and legible) than what std::variant gives you.
Can you explain a little more what you did? Just a little bit, like what brand, did you replace an existing home system. Who did the electrical, did you need duct work? I already have a forced gas system, you can just connect it up? If I only had say 4-5 rooms on one story it would be a lot easier.
That's why bitcoin is rallying today after the US government swore to protect the banks and the integrity of the US dollar, and bitcoin crashed when the actual bank run happened and the outcome was up to speculation?

> Not providing a 10 year old with puberty blockers when you suspect that it is because the child has been manipulated into believing that they have gender dysphoria is practicing medicine. So I am not proposing that we deny anyone access to medicine.

Of course if there were some specific reason to believe that the child was being manipulated, then it would be medically appropriate not to treat them with puberty blockers. But you said "this is a serious hole in the argument for providing gender affirming care to children" as if you think this should be the overriding concern even when there's no specific evidence that the child is being manipulated. That is what I take issue with.

Suppose that we were discussing an influencer parent who was exploiting their child's blindness for social media views. Would you be telling people that it's just as likely as not that the child is just pretending to be blind to satisfy the parent with Munchhausen's? If not, you're special pleading: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_pleading.

> Parents with Munchausen's manipulating their prepubescent children into socially transitioning is a good explanation for the rise in prepubscent children socially transitioning

It's a very poor explanation, because more people of all ages are transitioning more than in the past, not just prepubescent children. It also stands against an obvious and much simpler explanation, which is that children today are more likely to encounter the idea that someone can be trans and much less likely to be told to suppress non-normative gendered behavior.

> we must allow ourselves to consider the possibility that it happens a lot, since Munchausen's is at least as common as gender dysphoria.

You say that as if it means that a given child presenting with gender dysphoria is just as likely to have Munchausen's by proxy as actual gender dysphoria. But there are tens of thousands of possible conditions someone with Munchausen's might imitate instead. We should expect that the fraction of them that imitate gender dysphoria is dwarfed by the number of people who actually have gender dysphoria.

It's telling that your argument is entirely theoretical. If there were a significant number of children manipulated into socially transitioning because of Munchausen's by proxy, there would be actual confirmed examples to refer to. If it were a large-scale social problem, there would be data on its prevalence. But there isn't, because this is a scenario fabricated to apply unjustified scrutiny to children with gender dysphoria.
Why? I mean, do you feel differently about every other patented invention or IP?

Show HN: curl-chatgpt shell script with simple input/output options
Right, though Espressif's official support for anything should be taken somewhat with a grain of salt ;)

Having used their tools at work in anger for years at this point, there is a lot of gotchas, issues and bugs with their bindings at this point -- not all of which is Rust's fault, but the underlying problems with ESP-IDF itself.

That said, its getting better over time, so I'm keeping a close eye on it (and we keep some experimental projects up to test it every couple of months).

The upside of Nim is that "it's just C" at the end, with all the upsides and downsides that comes with.

I'm very hopeful though!

Edit to add: We started this project quite a while ago, too, which forced our hands. Writing unsafe Rust is a pain, so I didn't want to take the burden on for managing bindings myself at the start. If we were to start again, maybe we'd have made a different choice, but Nim at least eased the pain quite a bit.
Barely anyone even owns an NFT so I don't think product education was the primary problem
Crony capitalism is one thing, but I think it's unheard of for the federal government of a Developed country to write and pass a bill that requires Google and Facebook to pay money directly to the monopoly media company in that country.

Note: The law only applies to Google and Facebook, and only requires money to be paid directly to NewsCorp (not other media outlets that might be "impacted"). The federal government is now writing laws to collect money for a private company.

That's pretty blatant.

> could I strap my Pro to my old DJI drone and create some photogrammetry of my house or whatever?

Yep that should be possible - as long as you flow below 5 metres though!

If you have a drone and are somewhere that is legal & safe to fly, photogrammetry (3d model from just visual photos) will likely give a better result than relying on the iPhone LiDAR stitching.

Set the drone image self timer to 2 seconds, fly around for a bit and then upload all the photos into WebODM: https://opendronemap.org/webodm/

You can run it on your local machine (see instructions in blog post) or hosted for a fee. It creates brilliant models and is a lot of fun!

Same way that court determines whether my book is a paraphrase of yours. Substantial similarity.
Exactly, the state spent a lot of money (and/or resources) to train an engineer it would be best to keep him/her working as much as possible. Here we lay highly trained engineers off and they could be idle for several months. Lots of disadvantages to central planning, but realizing that it's expensive to keep highly educated resources idle they would try to maximize their usage.

" highly educated engineers were paid like 100 rubles/mo, which is slightly above minimum wage."

I think it's kind of hard to quantify based on salary alone in a system like that. People in more prestige positions like engineers & scientists had access to things that others might not have: a better apartment, better schools for their kids, shops that had a better supply of goods.
They did not state the growing economic concerns as reason for layoff like other big companies. They stated a business unit is not valuable enough and they are laying off 17 people. YC is beyond wealthy and successful. They laid off 20 percent of their staff. Not a good look.
Ah I was writing a reply to someone else as you commented this :) We've got experimental projects with some ports of our firmware to it already, but there are lots of showstoppers that we've run into (some of which are ESP-IDF's fault more-so than esp-rs directly). In the medium-to-long-term, I'm really hopeful we can move to it. Not quite there yet for our production use cases though unfortunately.
