The Netherlands is an insurance health system, delivered by a mix of different types of organisations, private, non-profit, religious etc. The insurance market is very regulated and all residents have cover - it’s compulsory. If you are poor, your municipality makes sure you have an insurance policy. Most people get a window once a year to change plans and insurers, but the policies aren’t all that different (physiotherapy and alternative medicine options, as well as own-risk components seem to be where most of the difference lies).

This regulated market isn’t very “private” - and it’s not very capitalist either. Outcomes are ok, but as always could be better, which is at least as much cultural as how it’s all funded.
I’ve been tending towards the opinion that features like this are a bad idea: that we might be better served by a general “this is prose” signal that triggers things like Knuth-Plass line-breaking, partially-hung punctuation (not full, please not full, it’s awful), conservative hyphenation, maybe even spacing and stretching tweaks to reduce the need of hyphenation (like the CTAN microtype package provides), whatever else the user agent supports. Bundle it all up in an all/auto/none property that defaults to auto, and let browsers choose heuristics for normal content. (OK, so I wouldn’t limit it quite that hard, I’d make it a little more like font-variant, but I do believe the default should be heuristic-based rather than disabled.)
> The hanging-punctuation property in CSS is almost a no-brainer

For me it's a brainier. Neither is better or worse, it's just different. I prefer having hanging-punctuation off by default because the text fits into its container, but if I was making something fancy for some reason I might turn it on.
The magic number version is completely unaligned for me.

It could be a nice property; but it isn't ready for primetime yet.
> “Must answer” means the person under question must provide an answer to the question being asked.

Yes, but it doesn't say what the answer has to be, it doesn't say it has to be correct, it doesn't say it has to have to do with the question.

> As I already said, your own citation proposes non-response

And I have shown to you why that doesn't matter in the slightest, because a very trivial modification to the methodology could achieve the exact same thing while following the original papers requirements to the letter.

> It’s a weak thought experiment

Wrong. It's a perfect demonstration of one of the many reasons why AI research is all but ignoring the Turing Test; the fact that the test is more about the interrogator than it is about the machine.

I don't agree with your statements, and have presented arguments why, that's not argueing in bad faith.
Regardless of the length of the chain of custody over the work, you always know the copyright holder would not have agreed to part with a copy of their work if they had known it would be further duplicated, so you can't really ever claim ignorance.

And I think it does mean you've deceived them if some law were in place and thus the expectation were in place that prohibited you from leaving a bad review. However, no such law exists, and therefore no such expectation exists.

(and yeah, I'm definitely not saying people are murdering puppies here. I have for sure pirated movies and TV shows, I just don't try to justify it -- I'm a tiny bit of a bad person!).
Sure, but I'm not advocating for "too much".

My toddler has a routine - everyday we have a lesson at a particular point in time. No exceptions.

But ... I use my discretion. The minute he gets bored, or fidgety, or stops paying attention during the lesson (assuming that he wasn't so before the lesson), I end the lesson. I also change up the lesson plan if he seems (prior to even starting the lesson) irritable or in the wrong mood - "Today we are going to draw a picture of a car/toy/garden/etc".

This means that some days our lesson is 5m, some days it goes on for 40m (reare, but it happens), some days we learn to read something, some days we simply stroll in the garden examining bugs and the different colors they come in, some days we learn to write new words.

It's not a game[1] to him, it's a lesson, and it's not the lesson that's important, it's the routine. My intention is not primarily to teach him, it's to normalise the concept of homework before he reaches the point that he gets given any.

And, yeah, the routine is initially forced. Just like brushing teeth. Or bedtime. Or eating vegetables. After a week or too, there's no longer any actual bribing, cajoling, pleading or threatening going on to make him come to the lesson room.

Now, it just happens. Without the initial enforcement, things like lessons, brushing of teeth, baths, etc just wouldn't happen, so even the most progressive minded parent is still going to have to enforce stuff on the kid, whether they like to think of themselves as a non-forceful parent or not.

[1] Games are negotiable, games are optional, games are always fun, games are played at any time. Don't make the mistake of letting the child think of the lessons as a game; it makes it difficult to enforce the routine later. Instead, make the lesson fun, while making sure that the child does not confuse it with "game".

And yes, this is my second child. Calling lessons/learning a game really was an eye-opener for me with the first child.
The full quote is worse! You did read the definition in my original link of a “probable case”, right? You can be a “probable case” if you have similar symptoms and were near a known case.

>”due to COVID” is different from “cause of death”

Yes, in this wording “a death due to COVID may be attributed…” is the bit that goes on the death certificate. Reading the full sentence, it clarifies COVID has only to contribute to a death for it that to be recorded as COVID death.

Reading these official definitions, if you die with a raised temperature and a cough, and were near other COVID cases, that’s all that is needed to be a COVID death.

Hey Everyone! I'm building a cool new product that might be relevant to this community.

Oasis is a dynamic digital repository of project ideas. It’s a platform where people with interesting project ideas can share them effectively with others who are looking to build. It doesn’t matter what domain the project idea is from (startups, research, NGOs, physical products, or even video games); all that matters is that it is a clear actionable project idea.

If you find yourself thinking, “This is such a great idea; someone should do it”, put it out on our platform; through our filtering systems, we’ll make sure it reaches a pool of people who will likely be excited to pursue it.

I don't know strictly whether or not that's true, but given the names associated with the most publicly advertised SPACs, it's easily believable.
Mine used to have the problem. Upgrading the firmware and using Ethernet did not fix it.

Observation: disconnecting the printer from the network avoided the un-wake-able "deep sleep" state. Re-connecting the network made it susceptible again. I suspect it's particular network traffic that causes the printer to wedge into a sleep it cannot leave; possibly a Debian box that I've since de-commissioned. The problem no longer occurs despite having the same firmware as before and being connected to the network.

> If these drugs cure trauma-derived addictive behaviors, that's just so extremely interesting, mechanistically.

So much this. I think going off semaglutide makes the weight come back, so it would seem that semaglutide doesn't change the circuits of trauma and addiction permanently, but it does something to them. The theory that obesity is a result of food addiction is pretty revolutionary, and now having alcoholism confirmed to respond to the same drug really supports the theory. Additionaly, if both are caused by childhood or development traumas, that opens other treatment options, and maybe some forms of change in how we as a society look at addictions. But maybe I'm going too far.
I think the "b" stands for base pairs (bases) rather than bytes or bits in this context.
> Still, I firmly believe that a democracy works better when there is local control.

The problem is when you have large negative global effects that emerge from so-called "local" decisions. A nationwide housing crisis leading to human suffering and political extremism. It's bad for everyone, it's especially bad for the poorest in our society, and it's not local as much as landowners like to tell themselves it is.

Local governance is ideal for decisions that are actually local. Like organizing communal rubbish pick-up.

I can’t seem to find an image of it - is that black thing the box or the unit itself?
I agree, real sad.

I too was a pre-teen in the early 80's and I remember how neat it was to have these "secret" catalogs and/or ads in the back of magazines like Popular Science where I could place some cash (or ask mom for a check while I gave her my cash) in an envelope, put it in the mail and in a few weeks I would have these cool sci-fi gadgets in my hand to play with. I was the only one in my friends group who really knew about this stuff apparently (or was the only one geeky enough to think it was cool.)

It wasn't just Tesla Coils either. Mail order was in it's golden-years in the 80's and early 90's before the internet. I remember ordering everything from electronic components like caps/breadboards, to magic/card tricks, meters, oscilloscopes etc - all in the many different catalogs I had. I used to even order all kinds of fireworks for the 4th of July through the mail as well back then. Not just snakes and smoke-bombs either, but full on Black Cat (the best) firecrackers, bottle rockets and fountains. Literally send in the money and few weeks later I'd have them dropped off at my front door.

Nowadays it is even more amazing as all this stuff is now available in a day or two with free shipping. Heck, I ordered two board games on Amazon the evening of the 19th for with the family the upcoming holiday week and the doorbell rang about 10a the next DAY with them!

But nothing beats that feel of a pre-teen and his secret catalogs ordering with his own saved up cash in an envelope and anxiously waiting for two weeks for some off-the-wall gadget to arrive.
I would have probably done some malicious compliance and hard redirect the warner bros website they don't want to display to some blog post about abolishing copyright.
You’re absolutely correct, but I’d love to hear more about why Rare is an exception. Is it just because they mostly made games for SNES before N64? If so my recollection was that SquareSoft and Enix (separate at the time, IIRC) were similar until PlayStation enticed them, and in our 20/20 hindsight (FFVII and all) we wouldn’t bundle those Nintendo companies like we might consider Rare.

Again though, you aren’t wrong! Rare covers many of the non-Nintendo greats on N64 (GoldenEye! Banjo Kazooie! Donkey Kong 64! Conker, if you were in a fairly narrow range of maturity!), but they did some Sega before N64 and a lot of Xbox afterward, so I just expect there’s probably some interesting details left to expand here :)

If there’s not much to it other than that they were a shining star with a ton of Nintendo investment, all good.
s/tasked with running/tasked with coordinating states and federal matters/

I think nothing about the US framers - not my country. I simply answered the question posed without delving into the merits of any specific position.

On the matter of stock exchanges and securities Congress did lawfully choose to regulate and bind public companies to declare honest and true infomation to the public yada yada .. that's within the scope of Congress.

The delegation is to have a seperate ideally independant group oversee that every one of hundreds of thousands of listed companies abide by regulation - just as Congress doesn't ride shotgun on every stagecoach.

It's fair to bring back to Congress any disagreements with how regulation is being managed, just as it's fair to bring back to a judge a complaint that an appointed sheriff is a lying conniving son of a bitch using a badge as an ATM (for example).
If my experience is anything to go by those clusters will fade and die over the next 20 years just like the equally critical and irreplaceable unix(tm) vms and mainframe system is in the process of doing.

But it will be a long process and a lot of money will be made by vmware and partners even as the market wound down and move to whatever it is that going to replace it(im willing to bet it wont be kubenetes as we know it today).

>When he talked about Stephen Gould, a widely read pop-sci academic, you zeroed in on his last name's "Jewish-ness".

Replying to this separately because I feel like you mischaracterized my point about Stephen Gould, and I think you're aware of that.

I did not simply zero in on his last name, as your comment says. I pointed out that the author directly links a Jewish person to having secret evil intentions and hidden political power:

>These explanations have their merit, but I think they are too kind for assuming good intentions. Throughout human history, the powerful have sought to mystify the source of their power, whether it be through religion, divine mandate or royal inheritance.

By the way, did you notice that "divine mandate" line? Why don't you take a guess on that one, too.

OpsBerry – Loom for generating runbooks
No the idea is they can replace a 4 unit 2 story rent controlled building with a 4 story 8 unit building that now has 4 rent controlled and 4 market rate units.

This is due to another Byzantine quirk of SF zoning where the neighborhood is zoned 40X (~40ft or 4 stories) but if you try to build a 4 story building you have to notify all your neighbors and they get the chance to demand discretionary review, forcing your project to go before the planning commission for a vote. People also pull this crap for simple additions to existing houses.

At any rate the state is demanding reduced setbacks, elimination of neighbor notification and DR, etc. This would apply to other normal projects too, turning a lot more stuff into "by-right" approval: if you meet the set standards you can get a rubber stamp at the permit desk and no one can block you.

>Vivado and Quartus are so horrendously complicated, that it seems easy to find a project failing at some late stage because you clicked a button wrong two days ago.

The (open) industry secret is that nobody actually uses the GUIs for anything other than analyzing build products (viewing floorplans, etc.); everything else is done through tcl scripts and Makefiles. This lets you both avoid the disaster that is the GUI portion of the tools and keep the entire project in a regular text representation (which means you can actually edit everything and check it into version control!).

As an extreme example, I've never even managed to get Lattice Radiant's GUI to even run, the damn thing just crashes almost immediately. It doesn't matter though because the backend tools all still work perfectly. We've just written some tcl scripts which handle everything for us and we called it a day.
>Is all telemetry good in your eyes?

No, collecting information on how many times someone types the sequence "abcd" is a waste of resources. Figuring out what telemetry will be useful and understanding the privacy implications is important.

>Telemetry is a cheaper solution to hiring quality assurance.

These are not comparable. Telemetry is about understanding how the product is operating. QA is about testing the product.
It’s not just Instagram or adults who follow children.

It’s parent company Facebook is constantly pushing reels of young females in my feed, wearing little clothing doing suggestive things/dances. I never interact with reels but they are continually pushed in my feed chasing clicks. It could be described as soft porn for people looking for people of a certain age.

The rest of my Facebook feed and usage is boring middle aged male stuff. Automotive owner groups, hiking/outdoors groups, local cafes, restaurants and events. Nothing in my usage suggests I’d be interested seeing young females in my feed other than I’m a heterosexual male at a specific age.

The reason they get pushed is simple to me. They do get clicks, that’s what fb is designed for and no doubt facebook metrics tell them this kind of content get clicks. Similarly every time you report a clear scammer you get an automated message 24hr later saying the user has not broken fb’s guidelines. FB is interested in the click/ad revenue only.
IDK what exactly they mean by library, but maybe different types of sequencing take different times? Could still be on device.
It is actually Mega-base pairs, not megabytes. But yes, that how we count it in genomics. Kb, Mb, Gb, etc.

The library type here probably refers to gDNA, mRNA, total RNA, etc. Due to biological and chemical reasons, these affect how the sequencing work and the amount of material available for the sequencer to read.

That said, this is pretty much a toy. You pay $1000 for the sequencer. You also need a $2000 PC to analyze the data. You also pay like $800 per run. So the running cost is so high it isn't worth it.

The Nintendo Switch is the second best selling console of all time, with over 132 million unit sales. It outsold the PlayStation 4 by a long shot (117 million), and is only superceded by the PlayStation 2 (155 million units). The Wii was the 5th best selling console of all time.

Of all the console makers I would argue it's Microsoft that is currently struggling the most. The Xbox X has sold less than 20 million units and sales have been dwindling. Unlike Nintendo, Microsoft has no strong differentiator from the Playstation.
Vice grips are a perfectly acceptable tool when you need to remove a small stripped screw and plan to replace it with a fresh one.
I personally would not call it super narrow or even narrow.

Sure it's non end user, but non end user desktop Linux is not as narrow as it might seem. Through it's not well represented on HN I think.

Most important both GNOME and KDE have embraced Wayland as the de-facto standard with their latest/upcoming versions and when it comes to commercial Linux desktop usage outside of some special cases only GNOME and KDE matter (and all the special cases I currently can come up with also use Wayland, but that might be due to my limited knowledge about special cases).

Other DE are nice and fun but in relevant amounts I'm only seeing them on privately managed (but not necessary privately owned and used) desktops.

https://philosophynow.org/issues/114/Richard_Feynmans_Philos...

EG: "Feynman says that to be slavish to a received view or even to a method for discovering the facts means that we can never advance scientifically, for the old ‘facts’ may need to be overhauled in order to discover new ones, and how that may be done is, well, up for grabs."

Ignorance of what in particular?

If you bought from the original seller, and didn't know your purchase would enable piracy, then you can claim ignorance that your purchase would enable piracy. And you can correctly claim you weren't deceiving anyone.

And deception definitely isn't retroactive.

> (and yeah, I'm definitely not saying people are murdering puppies here. I have for sure pirated movies and TV shows, I just don't try to justify it -- I'm a tiny bit of a bad person!).

I just think this is going way too far to claim immorality.

I disagree that one act of deception taints all further access, and it's quite easy to reach a piracy situation without deceiving anyone.

Visuals are hard to include because you need to store them somewhere. If you store the in the git repo, they bloat the repo. It's really annoying to clone a repo and having to wait forever because it has a bunch of binaries in it. I try to use SVG whenever possible, sometimes animated with CSS (see example[1]) as they are made if text and are much smaller. When I need non-SVG images, I host them externally, but that's a bit if an overhead and you need to make sure you don't break the image link accidentally.
