You're arguing with the wrong person. I gave you accurate information about how the system works today, and a reference to technical information that hackers can use to mitigate certain problems. And I can do that with a straight face.

Technically insurers don't say what treatments can and cannot be done. Their role is purely financial. Patients can always pay out of pocket, and some do. But in practice an insurance denial does sometimes leave low income patients without access to care.

Ultimately though there does have to be some system for rationing care. Demand is effectively infinite and resources are finite. Even countries with single payer or socialized medicine restrict which treatments they make available, and often restrict patient access to expensive treatments by imposing queues.

I didn't claim that the current system is a good one. I have no power to change it. Any real solution will have to be mainly political so complain to go take your proposals to Congress.

Not true, the outcries are about the gambling aspect, be it cosmetic or not. When you can buy cosmetics directly (or convert real money to game money) the general consensus is that it’s fine, you know exactly what you get, with loot boxes you don’t (and they are always filled primarily with junk nobody wants to stack the odds against you)
Overwatch was more or less the worst possible implementation of cosmetic loot boxes and it’s great that they’re actually gone.

It is not "social media" that is the problem is the Ad Supported business model in general, everything ad supported is having problems right now, look at "news", blog sites, etc

If it is ad support is has issue turning a profit.

That is because ad supported is a terrible business model, however investors keep trying it for some reasons... it is like socialism, this time it will work .. we just have to "do it right"

nope. ad supported will never work. google is the closest by control everything from the browser up, but as we see with YT they still struggle
The paradox seems to be, by trying to be flawless or perfect, we will/want to climb the social ladder in hope of getting respect and being taken seriously. But being higher, means more people are below you, leading to jealousy, envy and people trying to compete with you to get to the same level. They want to prove they are at least as good as you. In fact, just the opposite of what we tried to achieve; admiration, respect, love.

My substance was that my Apple products consistently out live every other electronic manufacturer's. I have an iMac and a MBP that are both over a decade old now and run great. The hardware is excellent after putting a new battery in the MBP and an SSD in the iMac. Especially the 2013 MBP with Retina display, its still an awesome machine even at 10 years old. The biggest problems with old iPhones are banking Apps and cellular connectivity.

Until we find a way of mineral extraction and purification that isn't terrible, electronics are going to be bad. Could Apple work to improve that? Yes, and they should too. My point, which I'd argue is pragmatic, is that Apple makes the longest lived devices you can currently buy, and not by a little but by a lot.

The autobiography of Watson Jnr that Tim Wu mentions, "Father, Son and Company" really is an excellent read. I enjoyed it a lot and I've never liked IBM's hardware. It of course has a lot to say about the 360 (and how revolutionary it was), but also about management.

This is easy to fix IMHO. Pair a small screen in the future for typing or have a cuff link mic for whispering. You will see accessories like these pop up in the near future.
I just bought a couple of tickets to a small venue, tickets were $26 each (NOK is weak these days) including a fee of $2.25 each, so grand total $52 of which $4.50 total in fees. Checking my card, this is indeed what my card was charged, so no additional hidden fees.

I bought some tickets earlier this year for a mid-sized venue, $44 per ticket including $3.50 in fees each.

I did not select the optional "services" like physical ticket (just eTicket which is e-mail with PDF) or the ticket insurance.

Checking my ticket history (~10 concerts through Ticketmaster last couple of years) it's always been around this 10% in fees. It's comparable to the other ticket vendors other venues use that I've bought from like TicketCo and Tikkio.

edit: I checked Bryan Adams, he's coming to a larger venue next year which also uses Ticketmaster. Only tickets left were the least expensive ones (standing) at $75 per ticket, including a $5 fee.

edit2: Besides Ticketmaster not owning venues as mentioned by sibling reply, I guess a big factor is that, AFAIK, any non-optional fees must be included in the "sticker price" here in Norway. So they can't tack those on later.

That might be your personal prefernece, I particularly abhor the phone-centric world not to mention that a 5 inch “big-ass” touch screen becomes tiny when driving and that its UI is meant to be operated sitting down paying 100% attention to it not while operating a machine at 60mph down in the road surrounded by hundreds of people in the same situation.

That is both more reasonable and different from what was written :-p

Yes, I think it is absolutely unfair for someone to observe an exchange between somebody ranting about how mainstream scientific consensus is all lies and propaganda and somebody in turn dismissing their argument for why everything was all lies and propaganda as disinfo, and place the blame for the internet discourse in general being suboptimal squarely on the terms used by the second person.

The major blocker seems to be rising credentialism. People could start careers with just high school two generations ago; now at least a four-year degree and often a post-graduate qualifications seems to be required.

Women are fertile from 18 (legally) to about 40, realistically. (After 40 the risk of bad outcomes go up a lot and the chances of conception go down a lot.)

If the first decade of that period to age 28 is occupied with getting qualifications, and the next seven years with establishing a career, then only about five years are left. In five years a couple in their thirties could expect to have two children if they are lucky.

Ask HN: Good performant language for handwritten code?
I'm planning a project where I want to write my code with pencil and paper.

However, the goal is to create working, robust software. It needs to actually run on computers, so I'll periodically transcribe to digital form. The deploy target is servers. Let's say one of the common VM types available on AWS.

Therefore, I'm trying to identify languages that are fast but fairly concise. For example, Ruby or Python would be good handwriting options, but they have slower execution speed. Rust and Java are fast, but verbose to write.

I'm thinking JS, Clojure, or Crystal might be the most practical choices. Any other suggestions?

Promotion probably plays a bigger role in enabling profit than engine, though.

This. Having ongoing concerns from a once-in-a-lifetime perfect storm of an event such as Fukushima in application to a facility that is not vulnerable to nearly any of the series of worst-case scenario events is simply doomerism. This is exactly the kind of mindset that has prevented the US as a country from developing nuclear power in any substantial fashion for the last 50 or so years. In that timeframe, it's not unlikely to assume we could have a much more substantial amount of our energy produced by nuclear power; if not completely deprecating coal power plants.

At the moment, barring magical energy sources that haven't been proven in any meaningful sense, nuclear technology has shown itself to have the fewest long-term consequences and the highest efficiency. However, it is unfortunately also the easiest to point to a few events in history and easily make the layman cast doubt on its safety. It's worth pointing out that the most significant nuclear accident in history took place in the USSR (which wasn't particularly notorious for its safety protocols), on a reactor that had several known design flaws that were ignored, and the only other major accident representing a one in a thousand years perfect-storm that overcame several redundancies.

This concern about "drones" in relation to nuclear power plants is borderline paranoia. Are you concerned about drones dropping bombs or somehow disabling safety systems on a nuclear reactor? Every single nuclear power in the world has nuclear power plants, so they're all equally susceptible to the same attack in the same way that they're all equally capable of responding to said attack- mutually assured destruction as it goes.
That really only matters when the line prosecutors are not hamstrung by DA's agenda, and a lot of Oregon is currently experiencing this.

One person died and six people got cancer from the Fukushima incident - which of course is very sad.

In contrast, a single coal plant in Illinois, Prairie State, kills about 75 people every year with coal soot: https://www.sierraclub.org/illinois/blog/2023/02/prairie-sta...

For coal plants, murder is business as usual. That's why we need nuclear power.
> We do not have the natural resources to provide power base with wind/solar alone

Well, that's what you have a national grid for. China for example has links that go way more than 2.000km - that's more than enough distance to transfer power in times of low wind or whatever around.
You need a definition of merit and an understanding of when it matters and to whom.

I'd like to as in what ways is Europe great? From my narrow point of view, most if not all successful startups were founded outside Europe, most countries in Western Europe tend to be monolithic cultures where outsiders are made to feel like outsiders, and many European nations are socialist utopias (which means they take away a HUGE chunk of salary as tax).

(And I am asking this in a friendly tone, as a genuinely curious question, and not a combative one. These nuances get lost, so putting them down in words). Thanks.
Cool. Now why does it consistently happen for images where no underwear is visible, and why doesn't it happen for cis women? Why are appeals not granted? And why didn't staff even acknowledge there's a problem?

Bluetooth implementations are trash. Rented a brand-new Toyota over the summer and its radio suffered from all the same playback defects that Bluetooth has been offering for a decade or more. Playback randomly starting when not told to... showing the wrong info on the display... showing that no songs were available but playing songs anyway (four out of five times; once it did decide to show a song list).
Both have huge (1.5B) populations, and are shitty places to live, so a lot of people want to get out of there, and H-1B visa is one of the best ways. Huge number of applicants gives you huge number of visas granted.

Ticketmaster is a vertical monopoly in the US. They control all major venues in the country, all ticketing, and resale of that ticjeting. They are awful. I assume they have yet to achieve total market dominance in norway.
You previously answered me that getting H1B without a degree is a thing, but one has to have their work history well documented. Could you please expand on what involves? What if the companies someone worked at no longer exist? Thanks
I have given you accurate information. If you choose to remain ignorant then that is your affair. The reality is that payers that offer health plans to self-insured employers don't make money by denying claims.
It’s probably just a bug. I don’t see how it would have anything to do with the Common Core.
While I don't disagree with the bulk of your comment, it's worth noting that PornHub / MindGeek didn't just shoot themselves in the foot but hurt the entire industry when there were numerous videos of missing teens and underage content found on their site.

I say this as someone who ran an adult website for 18 years, in Canada, until suddenly our bank informed us that they were closing our commercial accounts and we couldn't find a single other bank or credit union in this country that would take our business despite a pristine 18 year track record.

The only thing that had changed was the MindGeek scandal. Maybe the media misrepresented it, maybe the content issues were fabricated by "anti-pornography" groups. But one day everything is fine, the next day MindGeek (a Canadian company) is in the news and the next day we're shut down despite having done nothing wrong.

It's hard for me to scapegoat conservatives and anti-porn groups when they were WAY more vocal and active when I first started my business (back in 2004 this was when the George W Bush administration was prosecuting obscenity for the first time in decades, and passing USC 18 2557). By 2022 they had virtually gone away. Then MindGeek was caught allowing some some really shady shit on PornHub.

Also this was just a year or two after the Girls Do Porn scandal (Google it if you're unaware). Those girls suing those assholes for sexual abuse and contractual misrepresentation was not "anti-porn groups."

So my take, as a former business owner in the industry, was that it took a few public scandals and scares for the banks and corporate America to go "hmm... maybe we were wrong to get too liberal with this stuff." Some of that may have been fueled by the anti-porn lobby .. but if MindGeek had kept their nose clean it likely wouldn't have worked.
Can you please add proper error messages, because this is the main problem I have with all networking related issues: I don't get any error messages, just a dead connection.
Thank you. That does make sense. But do lawsuits against arbitrators happen with any non-trivial frequency? From the little I know, lawsuits against arbitrators are not a serious threat that arbitrators face.

But even so, all an arbitrator need to do is rule in favor of the corporation whether there is a thread of an argument in their favor, then ruling against the corporation in the remaining tiny fraction of cases.
I've been hesitant to drop below the provided resolution (1080 for blu-ray), and keep the quality quite high, so a movie is ~8 gigs. But Jellyfin will transcode it on-the-fly if you need a lower quality while streaming, so I wasn't too worried about it.

Do you mind if I ask how large the screen is that you view it on? I'm watching on a 65" tv in my living room, and artifacts are visible during high-action sequences.
I'm curious: did the team consider applying the technique to letter pairs like Ty and TA that traditionally get kerned closer together in proportional fonts?

As far as I can tell from the demo, these pairs currently aren't affected by texture healing, and they look a little awkward in Radon especially.
Some example? I don't use Steam, nor play videogames nowadays but I played a lot the original Baldur's Gate back in the day, so I'm somehow curious about this (even simple pointers are appreciated)
If you can, see if there is any trace of the CR1 control register in the 386. It’s fully marked as reserved, faults on access, and has never been used even with any successors. (Later, CR4 was added, and then for new things it was mostly dedicated MSRs.)

I have been wondering for literally decades now.

The best theory I’ve read so far came from Michal (os2museum) when I talked to him: The 386 was supposed to have an on-die cache, but that was stripped out late. There are surviving pre-release data sheets documenting that. The idea is then that CR1 controlled that cache, but got ripped out with the rest of it.

If that is the case, there likely isn’t an actual CR1 register at all, and only the opcode encoding survived. But if there should be an actual register, that would be massive news.
