The US system is well over 50% run by the government. Obamacare drove my insurance provider out of the state, and I'm stuck with the only one left. Thanks, Obama!

Before 1960 or so, the US health care business was free market and reasonably inexpensive. All government attempts to reduce health care costs cost cost increases.

I'm not sure why you position things as if it's either KiCAD or breadboards. Whenever I've designed a PCB, I've gone from breadboard, to schematic, to PCB (the last two in KiCAD). The breadboard is a necessary first step to make sure that the circuit works in the real world, not just in theory.

> Stating "N has non-zero remainder when divided by each prime less than N" is equivalent to stating "N is prime."

This confuses N, the bound on the largest prime, and the number (call it M) that’s the product of the all primes < N plus one. M is much larger than N. So what you’re really saying is:

> Stating "M has non-zero remainder when divided by each prime less than N" is equivalent to stating "M is prime."

This makes it clear where the error is, the correct statement should be:

> Stating "M has non-zero remainder when divided by each prime less than N" is equivalent to stating "M is either a prime or a product A x B where A is a prime > N”
I've been building Packj [1] to detect exactly such attacks. It can flag dummy, malicious, abandoned, typo-squatting, and other "risky" PyPI/NPM/Ruby/PHP/Maven/Rust packages by carrying out static/dynamic/metadata analysis.

It scans for 40+ attributes such as num funcs/files, spawning of shell, use of SSH keys, network communication, use of decode+eval, etc. to flag risky packages. Packj Github action [2] can alert if a risky dependency is pulled into your build.

> I had to look this up.

Great! Philosophers have explored the ideas of "inherent goodness" versus "goodness because of the effects" for thousands of years. People face these decisions everyday, whether they realize it or not.

> You've given a modern label to an ancient concept sometimes known as the Golden Rule. I'm not sure why.

First, I didn't discover the idea of deontological ethics (DE). From Brittanica:

> In deontological ethics an action is considered morally good because of some characteristic of the action itself, not because the product of the action is good. Deontological ethics holds that at least some acts are morally obligatory regardless of their consequences for human welfare. Descriptive of such ethics are such expressions as “Duty for duty’s sake,” “Virtue is its own reward,” and “Let justice be done though the heavens fall.”

Second, the Golden Rule is not the same thing as DE.

Consider this:

> Like most key tenets of ethics, the golden rule shows two major sides: one promoting fairness and individual entitlement, conceived as reciprocity; the other promoting helpfulness and generosity to the end of social welfare. Both the Kantian and Utilitarian traditions focus on only one side, furthering the great distinctions in philosophical ethics—the deontology-teleology and justice-benevolence distinctions. For the general theory project, this one-sidedness is purposeful, a research tool for reductive explanation.

If you want to follow the Golden Rule, you need to think about consequences! Hence probability over future scenarios.

Labeling him a sociopath implies that, had he never done it, nobody would have done it. In the article, he mentions that, if he wasn't the first, someone else would've done it in time. I agree with that belief.

Directing attention to your business, even without permission, is older than the Internet itself. We've had generations of TV, radio, and newspaper advertisements, as well as stickers placed on lamp posts, flyers in shop windows, or menus placed on doors of homes or hotel rooms. Some advertisement is welcome and paid for, others are done without being caught. But it's all in the name of profit.

If anyone is looking for a fully-commercial version, we use something like this — it is called Hubdoc and it is free with any Xero subscription.

This is a “I'd like to turn up the brightness higher” feature, which is a different beast from “this advertisement would like to blind you; permit or deny?”

"no sound" doesn't work for me, in the absence of sound all I hear is myself, and my thoughts. Meditation apps actually work really well in helping me quiet my thoughts and fall asleep. Funny enough, economic or history lectures work really well too. I love those topics, but it clears the thoughts in my head I just see a story playing out in my head as I fall asleep.

One of the major issues is I have relatively high anxiety, and i'll just be stuck in a stress loop keeping me awake.
Well, I had 2 apps written this style in recent memory. One was adapting an existing app with a React frontend and a .NET backend to work in an air-gapped place - we just replaced all the backend calls to calls into the WASM runtime, which did its thing internally.

The other was rearchitecting a microservice-based app, where the .NET server basically only served as middle-man, calling into other various services. Eliminating this middle-man and integrating it into the client allowed us to serve the whole thing statically from CloudFront which massively simplified our infra situation.

I think where .NET shines is writing big, complex applications, for a simple CRUD app where the only thing I do is prod a database, I'd just go with a simple nodejs server.

In my experience, I tend to write all business logic in the back-end, and the front-end's job is mainly just presenting it to the user, so even with fancy SPAs, the bulk of the complexity lives in the back-end.

Keep in mind, that with all the super-duper trimming and size optimization options MS has added to .NET, the runtime is still multiple megabytes, so adding WASM .NET to your typical consumer website isn't super feasible, it's more for these niche use cases.

It can help you process glucose better. Semagultide can help lower A1C in multiple ways, mainly by regulating appetite but also by stimulating the receptors that cause insulin to be produced. By producing more insulin, you feel more satiated and also reap the benefits of moving farther away from prediabetes/diabetes

I'd imagine that the person writing it thought the function generates numbers 7500 +/- 3000 and not anything outside this range.
In my opinion, it is one of the biggest flaws in the shell language design, because it means, that a function can lead to different results independent of the arguments, but depending of the context from which you call it. And it even overrides explicitly setting `set -e` within a function.

> Personally, I think Haskell is approximately stuck in a local maximum, which can only be escaped by embracing dependent types

To give a counter point, there seem to be lots of small wins that aren't taken, possibly in part because people seem to wait for the big ideas.

Take partial functions like head: You can do what Haskell and Java do and throw an exception. Or you can have dependent types and statically prevent the function from being applied to an empty list. But the obvious and easy solution in the current language would be to return Maybe, which isn't done because there's a feeling that it's not a big enough step to be worth the effort, and dependent types will eventually solve this anyway.

Most developers will have git and git bash installed nowadays which support standard cURL (along with all the basic useful bash utilities (sed, find, grep, tr, sort, uniq, etc.) We’ve given up on writing anything windows specific at work as the format and options are pretty limited. The most we will do is call setx or similar if we need to setup a user environment variable in our scripts. It has saved so much of our sanity and time as bash scripts are so much easier to write and maintain.

Hi autistic here. One thing to keep in mind is that autism prevalence appears to be increasing because testing has gotten better : was 0.04% when I was a kid 30 years ago, now 2.78%. Also Asperger's was merged into ASD in 2013. Keep this in mind when reading sources like this.
if continued, the study will result in something like "BPA intake amplifies ASD, ADHD, ..."

At least _some_ humans with "ADHD" and "ASD" (and many others) are highly sensitive. This includes their bodies and brains - and subconsciousness.
> The study showed that for a significant proportion of children with autism, the ability to add the glucose molecule to BPA is about 10 percent less than that of control children. For a significant proportion of children with ADHD, it’s about 17 percent less.

Considering the rather huge differences between someone with autism and someone without, and the presumably rather large variation in ingested dose of BPA, a 10% difference in the elimination speed of a toxin doesn't seem like the whole picture.

>mindless hatred of others

The whole reason Facebook is a useful tool for hate groups is because it allows them to cultivate a fake justification for hate that goes beyond "mindless". Inventing crimes, doctoring photos, promoting false narratives and conspiracy theories, etc. It radicalizes moderate people by making it seem like the out group is an existential threat to the in group. We don't hate them because of their skin color or religion, we hate them because they're trying to kill us first.

Open dialogue can't fix this because it's much harder to disprove bullshit than to generate it.

Yes, this is the point and the reason it's so good. Centralization and standardization. I'm so glad that my country (Turkey) has made big leaps in centralization of digital services in the recent years with E-Government platform. I even recently wrote the Presidency Public Communcations Center, suggesting every citizen should have a government-issued email address and that an email account must be a right. E-mail is a necessity at this point and it's unacceptable that anyone can lose access to their email account just because Google's ML models decided he's a bot. The government could easily verify every real citizen.
Exactly. I'd say it's the saddest part. The one time I remember reading that some record exec was challenged on it, and the excuse was "nobody wants to have the quietest CD in the changer."

WHAT? As if anyone on the planet would go over to the changer, eject this allegedly offending CD, look at the label, and then declare, "Welp, I'm never buying another album put out on Arista records!"

The utter stupidity of it is mind-boggling.

And add to that the fact that, if people wanted compression so much, it could be done by THE PLAYER. In fact, this used to be done. My 1996 Mustang's CD player has a "Compress" button on it, to make listening to highly dynamic music more feasible in a noisy car environment.
Well, it's a line I've heard a few times over the years, and it's also being stated externally (https://twitter.com/searchliaison/status/1709726778170786297 says “The organic (IE: non-sponsored) results you see in Search are not affected by our ads systems.”) so I'm fairly sure it's still true.

That email thread you linked is between the Ads and Chrome (not Search) teams, is about the number of search queries (not the results of search queries), and “ranking tweaks” there refers to the ranking that Chrome uses to show the suggestions in the omnibox (address bar). (To get a sense of these “ranking tweaks”, try this experiment in a (new?) Chrome profile with default settings: type "flowers" in the Chrome address bar and don't hit Enter, and look at the suggestions: what mix of search suggestions, entities, and bookmarks/history do you see? Try again with other commercial queries like “insurance” and “mortgage”, and also some less commercial queries like, I don't know, “Minnesota” or “economics”.)

(And FWIW, I think that whole email thread actually shows Google in a “good” light relative to the popular impression here on HN as a company whose every action is some Machiavellian scheme to increase ads revenue: it shows that Chrome actually launched something to production before its negative impact on revenue became a concern, that Ads leads had to work hard to persuade them to either roll back or find some other way to undo the decrease in search query volume, that starting to include search query volume as a launch criterion would be a “cultural shift” for Chrome, etc: that Ads having an influence on Chrome is a rare occurrence.)

Here at McMurdo we've had 24/7 satellite internet for at least as long as I've been coming down (~10 years). Think roughly a ~30mbps connection shared with ~1000 people with business and science bandwidth prioritized over personal browsing. So starlink has been a game changer for sure.

At South Pole, I believe they don't yet have access to starlink. They also don't have 24 hour coverage for the few internet satellites they do get.

I don't work in IT so don't have direct access to more specific information, and obviously I can't speak for the many other stations scattered throughout the continent.
I use it for SQLite Database access in Go and Java. Java lets you theoretically interface with C code, but it's a lot of JNI/DLL/SO work. It's much easier for me to just os/exec (or Runtime/exec in Java) and send data back and forth. Your mileage may vary, of course.
I'm not the OP but I also heard rumors that Starlink bought Loon IP specifically the LTE stack. Given that we know Starlink was using the Google network in the early days and Loon was officially shut down months after Starlink beta started, it's not hard to imagine that there's some partnership.
