I'm of a similar mindset... even though I'm very libertarian in mindset... I think that all the current spending between Medicare/aid, VA Medical, Federal Employees and other programs would be better served by a govt backed non-profit insurance corporation, maybe a little more self-goverened than say the USPS. If federal employees and politicians had to deal with the same "plan" as everyone else as a baseline option, that would provide for better competition. Full negotiating power would also be necessary.

This should be combined with a 50% domestic production and at least dual sourcing requirements for all FDA regulated medications and devices. Both for strategic security, as demonstrated during the pandemic and necessary given political shifts. It would also have the side effects of requiring licensure of medical patents as well as at least some more open knowledge.

Blocking pharma ads would help a lot as well. Unfortunately, pharma is the single biggest advertiser as well as one of the biggest political donation blocks by a wide margin.

postgraphile does look like it'll handle basic cases pretty nicely but I've gone through the docs and didn't find anything like an explanation of what SQL queries it ends up mapping to - do you happen to know if there's one I missed, or a list of examples of GraphQL + corresponding SQL, or something?

Wikipedia articles on the operation of EU institutions are awful - barely any better than the official EU documentation. You'd be led to guess that the Wikipedia articles were composed by EU officials.

It's more sinister than that. The Commission is the permanent secretariat of the EU; the Commissioners are usually political has-beens in their home country, and they don't need to grandstand, because they are not elected.

So what happens is that the Commission settles on some horrible scheme, and proposes legislation accordingly. Parliament duly wrecks the proposal, and sends it back. This continues until someone gets tired. But Parliament is subject to elections; the Commission isn't (and it doesn't seem to get tired, either). So the same horrible proposals keep coming back, until elections bring in a Parliament that is more favourable to the proposal.

> if you have to involve a backend team to add restrictions to the graphql endpoints and try to make good educated guesses where those might be, then the idea of frontend not needing backend engineers

No because if you dont do that you have to involve more engineers anyways to build the REST endpoints and keep modifying the rest endpoints.

GraphQL is also default restrictive (i.e. exposes nothing). You don't need to add engineers to make it restrictive.

In Startups typically:

-> Frontend changes most frequently
-> Backend "utility functions " changes less
-> Data model changes the least

Without Graphql your "backend" ends up needing to have a lot of work and changes because it is constantly needing to be updated to the needs of the most frequent changes happening on the frontend.

With GraphQL the only time you need to update the backend is when those "utility" functions change (i.e. 3rd party api calls, etc) or the data model changes.

So you end up needing substantially less backend engineers.

“it depends” - you technically don’t need a neutral for split phase (aka 2 phase) AC, or 3 phase, if you’re using the ‘full phase’ power. [https://www.tutco.com/insights/making-sense-of-delta-wye-2/#....]

The neutrals in either of these situations are used when you want to use some partial multiple of the power, instead of a full multiple for some or all of the load. For example, most US electric clothes dryers will use the full split phase 240V for the heating element, but 120V for the light and sometimes the motor. Same with US electric stoves. So they need a neutral to be able to do so.

If they don’t need that 120V (half the voltage), they can just use straight 240V, and no neutral.

Same with 3 phase - if connected in a delta configuration, you have three distinct loads, each connected phase to phase.

Same as in split phase, if you have two 120V phases, each connected to one half of the split.

When designing AC->DC rectifiers a key concern is ripple (aka how consistent the DC output voltage is per unit time). 120V half phase AC is particularly terrible for this, but a single phase of a 3 phase system will also be not great. You spend a lot of the cycle with no meaningful power available, and need to smooth out that very spikey output with capacitors or the like.

The ripple on three phase (if using all three phases) is going to be a lot lower, and power flow will be much more consistent, as you’ll have 3 waveform ‘peaks’ per cycle, unlike split phase which has 1, or tapping a single phase of 3 phase which has one. (Depending on your definition of peak - some would double the count as the negative voltage side of the waveform technically counts too!). That means with only minimal additional component count, you have a nearly perfect continuous flow of power.

See some graphs [https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/671693/how-a...]

At the type of power levels we’re talking about, the capacitors for smoothing out the ripple (assuming it’s needed when charging the batteries - I would assume so, but I’m no EE), will be enormous and expensive if using single phase.

I know for industrial motors, the smoother/more continuous waveforms are a huge help in making smoother and more powerful (for their size/weight) motors. Almost all industrial motors run on 3 phase AC, and it’s common for even small hobby machine shops to either get 3 phase pulled in, or use phase converters.

The canonical REST solution of query params to add nested fields gets you quite far:

GET /myresource?extra=foo,bar

sure you over fetch a bit if you have multiple accessors.

But agreed, if you have highly nested data especially when accessed with multiple different query purposes then REST might not be the best fit.

I think GraphQL has been positioned as a general purpose tool and for that I am with the author, REST is a better go-to for most usecases.

Insurance companies have negotiated rates with individual doctors, hospitals, and even individual procedures.

Depending on facility, negotiated rate between insurance and facility, and “in network” vs “out of network”. the amount “billed” can change dramatically.

Even different plans within the same insurance company can often change the cost to patient.

In the USA, there is at least some degree of transparency from hospitals to list their cash prices. But it’s most inaccessible to the common person.

Some of the lists are massive and it’s often ordered by cryptic ICD codes. Some third parties have tried to standardize it and make it easily searchable, but I honestly haven’t followed up on it.
Easy to understand why he would want to make it look smooth Sam has now generated an incredible amount of power since being at YC. Also most people when they part ways with an organization want to smooth any differences in case there is some way to work together in the future.

Also FWIW it just sounds like PG needed someone full time at YC - Sam couldn't and thus he went elsewhere. The length of discussion on this thread is quite long given the banality of the content. Yes I realize by commenting I am adding to that length.

Beyond color grading? Gate keeping? (whatever in the world you mean by that).

Might I ask how much experience you have with the world of professional color sessions? I have been in film/video post pretty much since graduating high school, so I have been a part of prepping content/materials for a color session for decades, but have also spent several years working at a post house that only did color correction. I'm guessing that it is you that has the incorrect understanding of what goes on in a color grading session. If you want to go around thinking that applying a LUT is all that happens in a grading session, then you might as well think that anyone that uses Wix or Squarespace is a web designer, or anyone that assembles Ikea furniture is a craftsman. Your definition would be very skewed.
My suggestion is much less fascist/communist oriented. By socialized medicine, I mean fully socialized as in "the only option"... where medical establishments and corporations themselves are effectively govt run, not just regulated.

A state option for "insurance" that covers govt employees, but operates without a profit motive, while having the same negotiating standpoint of any general insurance provider is far different than what one would see in a fully socialized environment.

Edit: It's also from the PoV of continuing to offer coverage at all to those already covered by Federal spending, while avoiding increased costs. Basically better utilizing spend to expand competition, as opposed to limiting it.

Sometimes I lead book clubs that are purposefully short and low commitment. Especially for a book I know well I will pick a subset of chapters, (machete order, if you will) and run through them. I like to think it makes people curious enough to seek more on their own and my anecdata supports that.

Related, I have had mixed experiences with work book clubs. I generally like them as an outlet for my socialization needs.

Sometimes you get people seeking "brownie points" and they don't really participate.

Sometimes you get the contrarian who thinks they know better than the author and does not debate the topic(s) in good faith.

Sometimes you get eager people and have great discussion.

All that said, I think book clubs are very useful and valuable and generally have zero issue getting the time allotted at work for folks across org boundaries to participate.

> If you believe you have a moral duty to be the best person you can then passing up that opportunity in favour of the facsimiles is morally wrong

Maybe a better statement would be that casual connections only offer facsimiles of the depth of a deep and long relationship, because the sheer accumulation of time and experiences with another person cannot be replaced quickly. However, you can also say that a deep and long relationship only offers a facsimile of the breadth of many shorter relationships, as one person can only offer so many things. If you change your passionate pursuit every decade, finding a partner with the same one each time might make that pursuit more fruitful. It's not how I personally feel, but "best person" is subjective like that.
Most healthcare is not that life and death. A few years ago I needed surgery - it was scheduled for 2 months later (originally 1 month but then the surgeon got COVID so rescheduled), if I had any incentive to I could have found plenty of other surgeons in different hospitals who could have done the same surgery - but I have no incentive to.

My in-laws lived near the Mexico border (until they died) and their church around the country regularly sent members to them when someone poor needed surgery to arrange with a much cheaper hospital in Mexico to take care of them. Mexico doesn't have the same standards as the US (or didn't 30 years ago), but it isn't hard to figure out which doctors are just as good as anyone else in the US if you research.
I only have one experience with a client using GraphQL and it was horrendous.

My biggest complain is there seemed to be no way to just to query all fields. I know that is intentional and the point of GraphQL.. but they should support something for the server side to enable this. Maybe they have over the years, I don't know. But my experience was during the implementation phase the client kept adding new fields that I didn't know about and then I had to constantly ask them for the fields because I thought I was missing data. If I could have just queried ALL the fields, then saw what came in, and chop them down to what I need.. great.

The only way GraphQL seems to make any sense is if everything is basically completely defined and you are at a final project stage. After many many years of experience... this is rarely the case.

Cool piece of technology? Sure.. but hardly practical except in scenarios of extreme amounts of data and only when it makes sense for the client to return specific fields.

Although I think still for 95% of even those extreme cases, you just write a REST endpoint that returns the fields that make sense for the query....
I will use Vue js as I like it a lot. Won't run my own auth and I already implemented client side auth with auth0 and Vue. But I wouldn't know how to let people auth server side for example. Auth is a really deep rabbit hole and unfortunately not very well explained. All I hear is "use this" but there is no one telling you why, or why not. And how to actually implement it beside the tutorials. Even with docs auth0 seemed very confusing, especially when it's uncertain on what user info I actually get from it...
I guess depending on the context of a simple app one level could be viewed as far.

Any more levels and you have now reinvented GraphQL
Ultra Ethernet is competing with InfiniBand (the more flexible more scalable but slower mostly CPU-centric fabric technically developed by an industry consortium but in practice single sourced from NVIDIA) and, to a lesser extent, OmniPath (formerly Intel).

Oh, absolutely. Basically all parents treat their children as just that, children, regardless of their age.
Or the adult conversation was: you need to pick one thing to focus on, we’d prefer it was YC but obviously we can’t force you to choose YC.

PG’s telling if it, and Occam’s Razer, support that version.

Many people here want to imagine that it was vastly more dramatic than this, or need to reinterpret the word “fired” to support the narrative that Sam is bad. I understand it can be fun to think that way.

For the record I’m no great fan of OpenAI and I think people who are convinced they are about to achieve AGI are, er, mistaken. I mostly just care about correct definitions of words and avoiding sensationalism.

Your friend should take a look at Lumina. It's a treatment to inoculate yourself with a strain of s.mutans that does not produce lactic acid and will remain dominant against other strains. Depending on the root cause of his cavities, it is possible that it would completely eliminate them.

The mutation occurs naturally; if you have heard of entire families who do not get cavities or children 'growing out' of getting cavities, my understanding is that it is usually correlated with the natural spread of this variant of s.mutans.
This soundbite really needs to disappear, it's catchy but mostly incorrect and unfortunately sets a wrong impression.

One place I was at we used REST with a hydration service that ran as a proxy in front of the requests. That gave us most of the benefits of GraphQL and we only implemented it for the main resources (users, photos, and maybe one other thing). To minimize latency/faults the hydration service ran locally on every webapp/API server. I wasn't around for far too long after though to see how it turned out as it grew (if it did at all, the company sort-of went defunct--development-wise anyway).

I also recall, we had similar N+1 query problems in the REST API endpoints irrespective of hydrating the returned resources.

The biggest benefit of GraphQL I can see from a user perspective is that it lowers total latency especially on mobile with fewer round trips.

Netscape's main revenue came from Navigator, right? A browser. Classic commodity. How did they fail due to engineering deficiencies? (Netscape was better than Mosaic, they invented JavaScript, there was plenty of chops there, and initially they had revenue, IPO went great ... at that point it's arguably not a startup anymore.)

And even when it failed it was worth 4.2B to AOL.

... if we're talking about browsers, Netscape's reincarnation Mozilla is again in the same tough spot. They have zero business sense, absolutely no plan, nada. At that point it's completely irrelevant how long it takes them to fix bugs or implement Web APIs or make it faster on various platforms. And still, they funded Rust and Servo.
