People buy expensive old houses because there is no vacant land to build new houses in those areas. If you want to live in a certain neighborhood then you take what's available. It's the location that counts; the quality of the house itself is mostly incidental.
> majority of the population

You are right, it's not the majority of the population. The fine article was trying to raise indignation at the wealth increase of "the 25 richest families in the world", using seemingly gross numbers that they militarized without even noticing that these numbers were completely unremarkable. Or perhaps in bad faith altogether.
That story is about economics, not politics.

It's also the nature of the violence. It's generally acceptable to show shots of bombed-out buildings and the like, or even display injured or dead bodies. The footage we and Israel have from Hamas depicts first-hand murder, rape and torture - all things which are going to violate TOS.

Great! I understand that ruby has similar access to this "mass of external modules", but where are they? If I need to support face recognition, nudity detection, or recommendation engine, how do I `gem install` them into a sidekiq worker?

Most LLM client code uses LangChain (or that MS one, I forget the name). Where is the ruby equivalent?
They technically never do the gene replacement within the body. They take the marrow alter it, grow and produce an external modified new marrow. Chemotherapy wipes out the old bone marrow out and the modified marrow is introduced instead.

As breathtakingly advanced and unprecedented as CRISPR treatment is, the execution is still radical and crude by necessity. Not to diminish the accomplishments but to note that we still have a great deal of room to grow.

Hopefully knowledge will eventually advance so that less extreme and unpleasant methods will take its place. But that would be a tough nut to crack.

It may be a couple years yet until the big teleheath hacks come out, and you discover all those private disclosures are sold for pennies on the dark market, or just leveraged by adversaries.
What we in the US call "health insurance" is today very different from the textbook definition of insurance.
That is why the industry term for health insurers in the US is “managed care organizations” (MCOs).

When you (or your employer) buys a policy from UNH, Elevance, Cigna, CVS, Humana, etc, part of what they pay for is access to the MCOs pricing services. And vetting services to minimize errors/fraud (a process which itself is ridden with errors/fraud).
Will you please elaborate?

I reversed my type 2 diabetes
Anyone have anything they'd recommend changing to for Android users? I just finished migrating to Google Podcasts last year from podcast republic, figuring the 'official' solution was going to have the best support. Whoops. Features I'm looking for are:

* Per-podcast speed setting at least up to 2x

* General play queue with auto addition of new episodes

* Ability to pick up playback where it was from Google assistant (e.g. OK google, play podcasts)

Podcast republic didn't seem to play well with voice control. I've tried spotify but I don't like losing my music play state on the computer if I listen to a podcast on my phone. Don't have a lot of faith in youtube podcasts but maybe I should give it a proper look.
How about you try it out and send it to your mom and see if she believes it's authentic?

Or how about have someone else send it to your boss, work contacts, and coworkers? Whether or not it's authentic, that's irrevocably harmed your relationship with them and there is nothing you can do to reverse that.
Correlation ("association") is not causation. Change my mind.
I think the behavior of the EU is more problematic TBH. Ursula VdL went heavily pro-israel the first day kind of giving carte blanche to israel for the following days

This situation is not a good look for western response in general. The world is watching. Reminder that Srebrenica was 8000 deaths, but 17100 palestinians are justified losses.

I've had that happen. I recently bought a few Muji notebooks for $2/piece[1]. They're thin, beautiful, and relatively cheap. I want to use them to doodle with less constraint or self-judgement, but still with a good experience. It's a weird balance between writing in a way that feels good, but also not judging yourself too much because you're using beautiful tools and materials.

Ask HN: Are companies taking longer to extend offers?
> The Hep C cure was 100k USD when it released in 2014. 10 years later, it’s 25k USD max before insurance.

That's not a great comparison. There was a previous cure for hepatitis C before the first antiviral-based cure 2013, and the initial treatment regiment for the antiviral based regimen was a hybrid of the two, before they settled on a fully antiviral-based treatment.

The reason that the antivirals came down in price so quickly was because so many nearly-identical ones came on the market within a couple of years. That's due to the discovery of a particular protein and corresponding class of inhibitors some years earlier, which was not patented, opening the door for a flood of drugs which are all functionally identical in purpose and mechanism of action, but chemically distinct and eligible for separate patent protections.

That came at a time when political and other pressures made some private insurers more willing to approve treatment (usually after a few rounds of denials and appeals) - but again, with an emphasis on some, because there are large classes of people for whom it is difficult or impossible to get treated for HCV today. (They're just not the ones likely to comment on HN).

Contrast to this treatment, which is for a congenital condition that does not have the same political pressure to address, and for which a significant financial barrier to access is not merely the costs of the drug, but the cost of the associated care (chemotherapy, etc.) which is not included in the quoted price. In addition the patent laws function differently in this case, to the detriment of patients.

The history of hepatitis C and its treatment is fairly idiosyncratic and it would be a mistake to use the price trajectory of HCV antivirals as a predictor for any other treatment.

I think you are much too optimistic.

Proof verification, though still hard to automate, seems at least tractable. I'm not a mathematician by any means, but something tells me automated proof search, in the general case, would require solving the halting problem, which means it is impossible even in principle.
And not sure if Dang will read this but I am curious the right balance here. The topic is ongoing and sensitive but something about posts getting instantly flagged sits wrong with me. At least when I don’t see how the contents were immoral or wrong. At the very least I would hope the HN community could help educate me on why it’s right or wrong.

Only brining it up because I would like to discuss the topic and not create a flame war in the process.
TACF is no longer supporting development of D58 American chestnut trees
The current seeds given to the public the ACF were counting on have very poor survival/growth metrics and they're giving up on that line; big shame as those are the seeds they offered to donors (and thus a way of getting involved as as outsider).
You're trying to exacerbate an existing problem with the tax code.

If you invest in a company that goes on to become a conglomerate, nearly all of the value is now a capital gain. You can't invest it in something else without inducing a taxable event. Which means that investors prefer to keep their money in existing conglomerates than move it into prospective competitors. It's a huge tax preference to keep money invested in megacorps rather than new challengers.

It may even be the cause rather than the solution here. Because selling shares of a company that had previously been growing has a major tax disadvantage, investors then want those companies to keep growing even though they've saturated their market, so they demand abusive practices which are long-term detrimental to the company in order to keep the short-term growth rate competitive. Meanwhile this deprives potential challengers of capital which makes abusive practices more effective by making markets less competitive.

It could even make it worse. If you've invested in a company 5 years ago, you're stuck holding it for another two years and now you want to goose the stock price so it peaks when you hit the lower tax rate.

We may be better off with the opposite -- allow basis transfers without a taxable event when you're only changing what you're investing in rather than divesting in order to spend the money. Remove the tax preference for abusive conglomerates.
> If it was just that (in the US), then there would be non need to prevent insurers from pricing based on health of the insured. Or legislating a 3x cap on premiums between highest and lowest premium. Or legislating out of pocket maximums.

I do not follow the point you are making here. The regulation and legislation around health insurance do not change the nature of it.

I think you are assuming that insurers have perfect risk assessments power and thus regulating them should be unnecessary. But they don't and we have to.

> The premiums are very explicitly a subsidy from young to old

You are just repeating your assertions here. I would love some arguments.

> which I view as a tax by a different name. Except instead of it being based on one’s income/wealth, it is based on age.

Sure, as long as we agree that is just your point view and nothing rooted in reality.
I've been told that many players buy counterfeits specifically for old school tournaments so they don't put their very expensive pieces at risk to theft or damage. I can't verify this, but it makes a lot of sense to me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Seven Signs of Ethical Collapse

1. Pressure to maintain numbers

2. Fear and silence

3. Young ‘uns and a bigger-than-life CEO

4. Weak board of directors

5. Conflicts of interest overlooked or unaddressed

6. Innovation like no other company

7. Goodness in some areas atones for evil in others

> Just think of the person that you are calling mutilated.

I'm thinking of myself. I was medically mutilated as an infant. The circumcision was wholly unnecessary. It's why I chose to NOT have my son circumcised.
This article, more than making me feel one way or another about the particular issue at hand (Isreal Hamas) makes me speculate what other unknown, better coordinated, better funded, interest groups might be doing this sort of thing on a massive scale.

I'm reminded of the "Come out - we have you surrounded" meme where the mentally insane man is hiding behind a desk with a shotgun screaming "Get out of my head" or "I hate the Antichrist", because that's how thinking about these groups make me feel
Needs to be updated!

They based their estimated September 2024 shutdown date on https://blog.youtube/news-and-events/podcast-destination-on-... saying "Later in 2024, as part of this process, we’ll be discontinuing Google Podcasts."

I guess April is "later" than January, February, and March, so it's technically correct - the best kind of correct!
I don’t think any developed country in the world has an alternative “health insurance” model. I believe Switzerland and Germany require people to purchase health insurance and it is not priced based on health risk.

Health risks in general are very predictable and very high, especially as one ages.
If you have a solid case any good lawyer will take the case for a share of what you win - they won't win all such cases, but they have enough confidence in winning most that they can afford to accept a cases will be done without getting paid. However if there is loser pays lawyers cannot do this unless they either take a much larger share for the winnings (thus making it not worth anyone's time) so they can cover the lawyer fees when they lose a case they thought was obvious, or they need to warn potential clients there is risk they have to pay a lot of money on a loss.

Either way loser pays makes it more risky for a poor person to sue.
Yeah, it's 2023 and there's still no great way to share images besides self-hosting or the hacks mentioned here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31631144

I strangely forgot the screenshot tool I'm using, Cleanshot X, actually has a cloud-share feature built in. I've never used it since 99% of the time I'm pasting these images into issue trackers, slack, etc.
Why? What's your preferred alternative and why is it more secure?
Oh, that makes sense. I assumed there was a hardcoded list of possible paywalls and how to recognize them, but I guess there could also be some kind of heuristic that might not work for different languages.
> They will get you going again in a day or two

what if they prevent you from doing it yourself in a minute or two?
No one expected that

I agree with you in principle, but it's very easy to have this attitude when the education isn't obscenely expensive.

If you fix the affordability problem and bring it back to where is was in the mid 70s (inflation adjusted) I think things would be a lot better.
is crispr a big improvement here over AAVs or zinc fingies?
I'm baffled why Google do what appears to be a rebrand (Google Podcasts -> YouTube Podcasts, just like they did Google Play Music -> YouTube Music) as an entire rebuild. When they switched music apps I had to download a whole new app and press a button to transfer my data, etc etc... why?
> Called 'night'? You can circumvent that out there.

Unless they are in a weird orbit, they will have also light only half of the time.

Also, the advantage of terrestrial solar farms is that you can ship the energy to people or factories with a bunch of wires. From a espacial one, it's a problem. The only application for a lot of energy up there is mining Bitcoins, that avoid the shipping problem.
FWIW, I was circumcised. I have no problem referring to the procedure as "mutilation" and "barbaric", and I also don't feel as though I am "mutilated" or "barbaric" for having been circumcised, nor do I feel that others view me, or others like me, as such when they refer to the procedure using said language.
> And much better than a liver transplant.

There are a lot of steps in between "acute HCV infection" and "requiring a liver transplant", and many insurers, even today, will require you to go through some or all of them before considering paying for HCV antivirals.
The benefits to go or rust isn't hands-on-the-keyboard developer velocity. Servers in Golang or rust will run faster (lower cloud costs). It also has lower risk of bugs and side effects.

Coding in go is slower than ruby, but debugging go code is 100x easier than debugging ruby or python code.

Once companies hit a certain size, the zoom-meeting time or system design time is an order of magnitude greater than coding time.

For a 12v system, of course. But on a modern 48v system who knows what they decided. Having a switching regulator with built in current limits might be helpful.

Google is only on their fourth podcast app?! They are going to have to increase their engineering velocity to catch up to the chat app teams.

Sweet potatoes, as you might expect, have more sugar in them. As do garnet yams.

The issue with potatoes isn't really their (low) sugar content.
