I can guess that their routing table only allows routing from/to the printer's IP in the local network (wired or wireless). Any packet to/from outside world for the printer is dropped.

I agree. When running my Google Campaign, I noticed on a Thursday that my total impression count for the month had actually gone down since the day before. And my campaign had launched that Monday midway through the month so it wasn't a 30 day cutoff that explained the total impression count for the month going down.

I think the impression counts are calculated using a finger to the air...

> I wonder if bitten by duck is more expensive that bitten by chicken.

They're diagnosis codes, so they're mostly irrelevant for determining cost. You don't get charged for "having the flu" - you get charged for the various services or treatments you received in the course of your illness.

Diagnosis codes do factor into claims reimbursement indirectly. For example, some services can be done either as treatment or for preventive purposes, and insurance is legally required[0] to cover the latter at no cost to the patient, whereas insurers can require that the patient pay for the former. But that's pretty indirect - by and large, the payment agreements between insurers and in-network providers apply to services rendered, which doesn't really factor in diagnoses codes (assuming that the service was appropriate for the diagnosis in the first place). That's assuming fee-for-service: capitation is a whole other model, although in that case it's still typically determined independent of the diagnosis, because the whole point of capitation is to minimize care delivered.

But getting bitten by a duck vs. a chicken is unlikely to cause any difference in the price you pay, unless:

(a) the injuries from the duck bite were significantly different from the injuries from a chicken bite, or

(b) one was considered an occupational exposure and the other wasn't (in which case worker's compensation would be billed for it).

You can just use Triton which is basically TFserve for Tensorflow, Pytorch, Onnx and more.
Because, like it or not, a doctor's discretion can sometimes be self-serving. The more treatments a doctor gives, the more they get paid, and there is an enormous information imbalance between doctor and patient. (As in, they went to medical school, and you didn't.)

Unfortunately, some doctors are willing to take advantage of this.
"Fined"? I'd love to see the remotely actionable, deeply buried contract of carriage that it can be claimed I knowingly consented to that allows this.

While their Contract of Carriage (https://www.united.com/en/us/fly/contract-of-carriage.html) covers this in Rules 6J and 6K, the closest that they have any means of financial redress is 6.K.5:

> Assess the Passenger any amounts owed to UA, including but not limited to for seat blocking, for the actual value of the service or ancillary product, and for the full value of a Ticket, which shall be the difference between the lowest fare applicable to the Passenger’s actual itinerary and the fare actually paid, including after the transportation or service have been provided.

Which at most would entitle them to try to charge him for the difference for the direct flight, but even then (IANAL) seems like there's substantial room for argument, if you tried to push back.

Ask HN: Why not cloud instead of Qubes “trusted PDFs” or Dangerzone?
I've read about the concept of "trusted PDFs" [1] from Qubes OS and the Dangerzone project [2].

Isn't it simpler to just open these untrusted files in a cloud service like Google Drive or Microsoft Office online?

Ah, but it isn't, in reality. Your moral judgments have no power over anyone but you.
Taking a look at the conclusion in the link you provide, it states:

> it is impossible to tell from the data who fabricated it. But because the fourth author has made it clear to us that he was the only author in touch with the insurance company, there are three logical possibilities: the fourth author himself, someone in the fourth author's lab, or someone at the insurance company.

So you seem to be much more confident about it only being one possibility, when the link explicity provides three possibilities.
I could post a mini saas that I made in php and mysql, using jQuery on the front end, that outperforms just about any webapp and most modern local apps, but I don't want to attract too much attention because I'm sure technically it's easily breakable to pros and malicious people.

Also, it runs on a $4 a month namecheap server.

Why is so fast? Because I came from the land of slow crms, and performance was my #1 goal. Instead of making it faster to develope, I made it faster for the end user.

Is that a worthwhile business goal? I don't know. But I know it's fast.
There rarely are systems designed in a malicious way. Most malicious systems slowly get shaped actors to their advantage. In some cases (insider trading or corruption) the government steps in and stops the abuse by laws and regulation. In the healthcare system they aren’t doing this and are letting profit oriented players shape the system.

When Eelco wrote his PhD thesis 20+ years ago, with the first version of nix, it was just an academic project. Now it's a lot more.

Although nix has a very good community, and plenty of contributor activity, there is way more code contributed than docs.

Additionally, very few people are technical writers in the nix community (there is a lot of expertise tho, but mostly on the code side). Therefore we get today's nonstructured docs.

Finally, RH has WAY more money than the NixOs foundation. RH sells stuff. Nix and NixOs are community projects, relying solely on donations. They probably have people whose job is to write docs.

there is an ongoing, organized effort to help docs tho:

The code isn't readable (you can't even reliably tell at a glance what the operator does) and it takes negligibly longer to write "add()" rather than "+" in your program (yes, 'add()' is more keystrokes and thus takes longer to type, but most of your program isn't addition instructions).

I think what people should advocate is full DSL capabilities with some unambiguous gate syntax so people know precisely that `foo * bar` is not using the host language syntax. Overloading operators is ambiguous and vastly incomplete (everyone is holding up matrix math as the shining example for the utility of operator overloading and you can't even express dot product notation in C++!)--it's a hack at best.

I made wine last year, a really fun process. I'm not particularly into wine, but my wife is and I live in a wine country so we thought we'd give it a try.

We used some grapes from the garden and a load we bought, our process was rustic to say the least.

We had two batches, one got shut off early after catching a nasty mold, but the other came out nicely.

My nicotine-scarred tastebuds could easily differentiate between the two, but I honestly couldn't tell the difference between the good one and store-bought stuff.

Then again, that's exactly how regional distribution of media works and the reason why media are still licensed per country. It's the same insane logic, just hidden behind contract and licensing law.

Oddly enough, despite all the problems in Communist Cuba, they have been able to keep much of a modern health care system going with absolute minimum resources. It appears that empowering doctors to make decisions is a big part of that. Controversial to be sure, but also interesting if only for the extreme scale of contrast.
This does seem to be machine readable, but inefficient. Given the fight the insurers have put up about publishing this, I would expect any allowance of "rules engine" to allow them not to publish anything, or to just play the same game again.

For instance, my "rules engine" is to look up the price contained in my db table (proprietary, of course) and multiply by another record in a different table. Or if a court forces us to provide both tables, we find that the structure is similarly unusable as this one. So best case is to get the same garbage.

Basically, I'd rather force them to be as explicit as possible, even if it's difficult to sort through, than to allow a loophole that might allow them to not publish prices.

> But you can deprecate and remove old features without causing a decade of misery like Python did. You just need good language support for knowing which version of the language a given file is targeting, good static typing support, and good automated migration tooling. None of those is rocket science.

That's way easier to do in a naturally statically-typed language though.
Yeah "cancer" is a variety of diseases and treatments for some of those diseases have advanced very far and others haven't changed much.
Agree with you there. I'd be much happier if my Raspberry Pis, cheap USB-C hubs, cheap monitors, etc. all had DP instead of HDMI.

It's extra annoying when you realize that you're paying more for royalties and sometimes additional hardware (e.g. in a USB-C hub that uses DP internally but converts to HDMI for the output) just to get an inferior interface.

Article 3 [1] is what covers this.

If the entity doing the processing is established in the Union then it applies to all of that entity's processing of personal data, regardless of where that processing takes place or the citizenship of the people whose data is being processed.

Same for entities not established in the Union but in a place where Member State law applies. The example they give in the corresponding recital is in a Member State's diplomatic mission or consular post.

For entities not established in the Union what it says it applies to data subjects who are in the Union in regard to activities related to offering them goods and services or monitoring their behavior as far as their behavior takes place in the Union.

Yeah. He's probably right. When we first saw Meltdown/Spectre/etc, and he preemtively disabled hyperthreading out of an abundance of paranoia, turned out he was right...

It's all broken, all the way down. However, compromising a browser or kernel is still a lot easier than compromising a hypervisor. At least in terms of number of known exploits.

Qubes tends to make very limited use of the riskier parts of Xen anyway, though. A lot of the security notices for Xen don't apply to Qubes because of how they've configured things or what features they use.

Of course Haskell has had its “literate format” since forever (ETA: the Haskell 1.2 report[2], dated March 1992, has a description in an appendix), and it became mildly popular for Haskell blogging when blogs caught on, but its name was always accompanied by a side note that in Haskell you don’t really need to reorder things (kind of true).

Have you tried this sort of prompt?

User text: "Blah blah ... Sharks ... Surfing ..."
Instruction: Return an JSON object containing an array of all sentences in the user text which mention sharks directly or by implication.
Response: {"list_of_shark_related_sentences": [

Stop token: ']}'

It'll try to complete the JSON response and it'll try to end it by closing the array and object as shown in the stop token. This severely limits rambling, and if it does add a spurious field it'll (usually) still be valid JSON and you can usually just ignore the unwanted field.

Any examples of superweeds that have been bred by humans to be that way?

The other way to view it, is as a genetic novelty in the ecosystem, a genetic novelty more akin to GM than selective breeding.

My issue is one of food safety primarily. Sure you can put fish DNA in a plant and it may well do what you want, but what are the side effects of that? Is there a novel compound that causes cancer?

Of course you could do tests and long term studies to confirm this isn't the case. But that isn't being done.

Of course the same risk is there with non GM, but A it moves slower, B you are limited to the species barrier. I if accidentally breed a carcinogenic tomato, at least it's only a tomato. If I genetically modify all staple crops and then discover it's carcinogenic, that's a harder problem to avoid if you actually want to not starve.
I used to work for a company that writes claims benefit management software. This:

> Notice how every item has a price that requires external information to understand:

> Per diem rates are paid for each day a patient is in the hospital. We need to know how long the patient will be in the hospital to know the total amount.
> Rates for Cardiac Studies require knowing the price the hospital will bill in the future. The rate is essentially “44.8% of another unknown price,” which isn’t terribly helpful to a patient.
> Radiology rates are based on an external price list that has to be looked up in an entirely different database. External rate lists are very common in health insurance but are not helpful unless you have access to the latest price list and can do the math yourself.

is where they stood out from their competitors, who typically had huge, and very wide database tables to capture this, but my ex-employer had written a DSL that allowed billing rules to be described with lookups and logic.

I think it is a shame that the Observable proposal [1] still seems somewhat stuck in Stage 1. It's a better idea than just raw event emitters because of composability (if no other reason). Making Observables "first class" could go a long way to unifying a lot of reactivity patterns in various frameworks, in theory at least.

To be fair, Observables and especially Observable composition has a rough learning curve and many frameworks like Svelte intentionally prefer implict reactivity and avoiding things like explicit Observables because they are seen as too complex/"too hard" for the average developer.

(Then you get awful worst of both worlds frameworks like Angular that sort of rely on Observables but yet also don't trust teaching Observables and wind up with code that isn't properly Observable and so also has all the code for implicit reactivity and is full of nasty escape hatches that cause all sorts of composition problems and unnecessary side effects.)
