The're not losing the right to vote, they just get to do it all over again, hopefully without another state actor tainting the ballot. And without inept politicians combining the presidential and parliamentary elections over the course of two weeks, giving Russia the unique opportunity to manipulate both at the same time. The secret service was probably ignored, because they had the correct assessment ready.
Meh. Per some recent reports a significant fraction of government employees in the US already enjoys zero day work weeks, fully paid, and has enjoyed them for years.

You save money.

Take some time off and live off your savings.

If you want to start making money you go back to the workforce (e.g. fall back to your skills).
My intuition is the public, users, nor the industry will take this problem seriously. To me this paper sounds a thunderclap.
Shouldn’t competition eliminate over billing? It doesn’t because there isn’t much competition due to lack of supply of doctors.

Why is there a lack of supply of doctors? Because the ama deliberately lobbied congress to decrease available residency.
I was around 10 the first time I played RCT. A friend of mine brought me a copy disk of his original one. I could install the game but not play since there was a protection against copied CDs with an error message. In a desperate attempt, I bruteforced the exe by clicking 50 times on it and suddenly the game magically started. I was so happy I started a dance of the joy and would then use this trick to play the game.

To this day I still don't know how it was possible to bypass the protection.
I agree to some extent, and I am getting better at just being comfortable in my own skin, but I think social conventions matter too. Eg I shouldn’t act overly surprised when someone says they’re a morning person, but I should/can do that when they say they’re pregnant. If you get too many conventions wrong, people are uncomfortable lol

Edit: I realized I didn’t respond as directly as I’d like to. I think I do want people to like me, and that’s ok. I think it’s also ok to not care
That's very useful. To see why, try to get an LLM _reliably_ generate JSON output without this. Sometimes it will, but sometimes it'll just YOLO and produce something you didn't ask for, that can't be parsed.
They are not going to gut the ACA, that would not only be extremely unpopular but also impossible in the current congress with only a 2 seat majority in the house for the Republicans.
They have an ecomm team and info sec team but they’re pretty unwilling to fix this. They do agile but no one wants to own this, especially in December since they have change freezes and this will affect the yearly and monthly issues.

I would advise submitting this is the state of Washington and DOT federal and state.

Technically this is a data breach.
Atg.wa.gov I would submit a data breach notification this will force them to actively fix it this month otherwise they will sit on it and push it off per agile sprint and do it when it’s convenient for the airline. Post holiday rush.
If you survey couples people say it's the money. There's no need to invent a whole narrative. People just say it's money (and stuff downstream of money like not being able to afford bigger housing to have a second kid rather than just one)
That's a bold precedent to create, if nothing else. Let's see how it works for them in the future, when political winds start blowing in some other direction. These things _always_ backfire.
> At best, we should expect thoughts and prayers all around.

Sorry, those thoughts and prayers are out of network.
We also don't honor medical degrees obtained from non-US institutions. I know several folks who were doctors in India or elsewhere, who have blue collar jobs in the US because their schooling is not recognized here.
> it’ll make murder for your cause viable and that’s a road to chaos

Murder for your cause is already viable and profitable, UHC used it to great effect by rejecting enormous numbers of legitimate claims.
The tutorial itself is next level with stunning interactive visual story telling.
Doctors per capita is actually up (according to wikipedia at least). So there's more Doctors available now than there used to be.

Can't that be run via browser on any OS which has an up-to-date browser? That was at least my impression...
I can point to videos which provide more receipts. This sequence of events was predicted by people 9 months before it happened. US was taking a keen interest in Bangladesh elections which it never did before. US said, "ensure free and fair elections to officials or else your Visa to US will be cancelled and other penalties." These things are all documented.

I think this is right place to use the metaphor of Rupert's Drop. Deep State knows the weak tail point and applies pressure to shatter whole nations, societies. It takes time to see Deep State in action. But once you do, you can't unsee it.

Most of those cases of even the prime ministers were just for show. Getting a suspended punishment while not having to pay anything back from bribery and no repercussions. This is equivalent to how I punish my kid, stay in the corner for five minutes and promise you don't do it again.

If you also relatively think the couple that are actually in jail they are too few for the amount of politicians or general corruption that is in prevalent Romania.
For the author, you probably have IBS.

I have similar symptoms, and basically I can't eat anything with Peppers or Chilies. The whole fruiting family. So no paprika. You would be absolutely floored to find out how many things paprika is in. Basically every flavour of chip you like. Curries often have them too.
If anyone has seen a steams implementation in Postgres please let me know. Not just pub/sub, but full implementation of streams with consumer groups would be very interesting to me.

Second best, how would you implement this in Postgres? I’m tempted to give it a go but I haven’t a fully-baked plan yet.
Seconding WLED, it's fantastic. Super easy to install and operate, compatible with HomeAssistant, the built in effects are great, the web app / native mobile apps are powerful but straightforward, and the community offers plenty of help and other resources.
I can think of reasonable reasons to not want OTA (it makes some ways of persisting a compromise hard). Now, do you understand why some people very much do want OTA updates, especially on network hardware?

Show HN: Odysseus-CLI – Deploy Laravel, React and Other Apps Effortlessly
Hey HN,

After months of work, I’m excited to share the beta release of Odysseus-CLI, a CLI tool designed to streamline the deployment of Laravel, React and other applications directly to alpira hosting.
Key Features:

GitHub OAuth Integration: Apps are automatically updated on each push.

Laravel Setup: Redis, Opcache, PHP version, and database configuration are handled out-of-the-box but remain fully customizable via CLI or the control panel.

React Builds: Specialized servers handle React build processes and deploy artifacts directly to hosting.

Developer Flexibility: Users retain full control over app settings.

Why This Matters:

Odysseus-CLI is aimed at simplifying the deployment pipeline, especially for developers juggling infrastructure complexities. Whether you're deploying a Laravel app or a React project, the tool ensures a seamless experience.

How to Get Started:

Requirements: Node.js v16+

Install: npm install -g odysseus-cli-dev

Login: odysseus-cli-dev login

Create an App: odysseus-cli-dev create-app

Follow the prompts to select app type and integrate with your Git repo.

View Apps: odysseus-cli-dev list-apps

Build the App: odysseus-cli-dev build-app <app-id>

Beta Testing:

The Basic Plan is free for the first month to encourage testing. Feedback on bugs, feature requests, or general improvements is highly appreciated as this is a side project in its early stages.

I’d love to hear your thoughts—whether it's a bug report, a feature suggestion, or general impressions. Your feedback will shape the future of Odysseus-CLI.

GitHub: https://github.com/alpira-ou/odysseus-cli

Thanks for checking it out!
> Maybe we should try to fix that. They must be trying to hide other costs in those ridiculous bills to be. That’s not fair to me.

The thing is, your doctor is likely not making that much in the end. Because he needs to keep a staff of "offensive coders" who make sure that the insurance company actually pays for the correct procedures, and a couple of helpers to deal with all the paperwork.

Then they also need to deal with patients with poor insurance who can't pay. Trying to get payments from these patients is soul-crushing, and doctors typically just don't bother.

$440 for a quick call is also unusual.
I tried some of the links. The links I tried were youtube videos.

Wikipedia told me the basics in less time than needed to get the skip ads button.

What in the world is a Wardley Map was all I was trying to know. I was not looking for something to watch on youtube.
Thoughts and prayers are not a covered medical procedure. Additionally, your future burial pre-authorization is denied as it’s not medically necessary.

Drug markets are very much not dead.

One of the largest and most popular markets (Archetype) has been running smoothly for almost 4 years at this point. Which operates exclusively on Monero due to its far superior anonymity over Bitcoin.

Most markets have either required Monero or heavily discouraged Bitcoin for quite a while now.
I totally get that hiding things from partners is a not uncommon thing.

Speaking as someone who has lived with my wife for over 10 years and where we can each access each other’s phones (for reasons of administrative convenience), neither of us have ever “snooped” on each other.

So when I hear of people taking advantage of features to hide chats from their partner it makes me wonder about the psychological health of either the relationship, one, or both of the partners.

There are absolutely psychologically unhealthy controlling partners who “snoop” on their partners unreasonably dictating what is and isn’t allowed. And at the same time there are also unfaithful partners who are having the kind of conversations with other people that they really shouldn’t when they’re in a committed relationship.

Only other reason I can think to hide chats are risqué group chats with friends posting arguably inappropriate content, but again, if your partner is snooping on this and then getting controlling, that’s not really healthy.

Finally, I will admit I sometimes use incognito mode on my web browser at times (but never for conversations), so perhaps I’m a bit of a hypocrite.
A PNR is not supposed to be unique. It literally is a record, that is tied to the airline ticket stock code (first three digits of a ticket number) and booking system (Sabre/amadeus) until recently a gds was not able to query one or the other (and yeah there are more, even ticketless/couponless ones)

Thats why you are required to have two to verify, ticket number or last name but in old old systems you always used the ticket number as that had all the passenger information, coupon status, route, etc the PNR is just a shortcut to facilitate this.
> By this same logic, you are responsible for the death of every person who could have been saved by you donating all of your income beyond basic living expenses (your personal "profit", if you will) to pay for their medical care.

To a degree yes, absolutely. If moral actions “improve the valence of conscious experience” in some utilitarian sense, most people take a lot of immoral actions every day. When you think of morality as more of a direction rather than an absolute “you either are or are not a sinner,” you can view the average person, and yourself, as deeply immoral, yet still get value from the understanding because you know the correct direction to move in if you want to improve yourself or society.

With this definition, it’s easy to compare the morality of two people. To what degree did each exercise agency in order to either neglect a responsibility to do good, or to actively do harm? The person who deliberately did more harm could be said to be worse in their moral character.

Now imagine a person chooses to become the head of a health insurance company in order to make large amounts of money, while aware of the fact that their industry produces profit by minimizing the coverage they pay out and that this will inevitably deny some people who ought to get coverage coverage; and, furthermore, that this wrongly denied proportion is much higher than it needs to be in order for their company to exist and pay its costs.

Now imagine that, in response, this person actively uses their agency to worsen their company’s contribution to this situation for the gain of themselves and other relatively wealthy higher-ups at their company instead of taking any action within their means to better the situation. We can reason that this person is, when you sum up the raw quantity of harm they’ve deliberately caused, morally worse than the average person, who will likely have done vastly less deliberate harm over their life. Is an extrajudicial murder the solution? Probably not, in that it won’t directly produce the needed changes to move society in a marginally more moral direction. That being said, I sure won’t be shedding any tears, and I’ll shed much less than I would for an absolutely morally mediocre Joe Schmoe.

Fair enough--that's why I asked the questions.
Yes but in 6 months react will release a compiler to catch it up by a lot. Performance has diminishing returns and at some point, things just need to be fast enough (see vscode) and the industry will continue on as the switching cost is way too high.
Indeed. Some people even express sympathy for him!

I asked my ex (an endocrinologist), and he told me that if the shooter stands trial before the jury made of doctors, the deliberations will be done in 5 minutes. And the shooter will go free.

That's how much doctors hate the insurance CEOs. I also highly recommend this clip (also from an actual doctor): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWA2aQYXDbo - and it's not actually a joke. The policy lampooned in this video was real, BCBS walked it back after the assasination.
Depends on what you consider "influence". There are certaimly pro-Russian, or at least anti-American, posters. As for the idea that it is being targeted by a campaign of bots or payrolled humans, this seems unlikely - HN is good at sniffing out LLMs and to date we have no indication that Russia can find and afford competent English writers in bulk.

There is a curious human tendency since the earliest days of the internet to refuse to believe in the possibility of organic disagreement. The most stereotypical and funny instance of it are perhaps 4chan arguments carried out by insinuating that all opposing posts are actually made by the same person (or, recently: organised by some Discord channel), but the belief that niche comment sections all over the world are flooded by Chinese or Russian government farm comment slaves who are perfectly literate in the local language and culture and would never stand out were it not for their talking points is now being affirmed even by (formerly?) respectable mainstream institutions. I guess this produces the convenient effect that your populace gets strong memetic antibodies against any dissident positions, even as the proposition is transparently absurd. Where are all those people supposed to come from? Even lifelong techies from Russia have telltale quirks in their LKML posts, and little needs to be said about English text in Chinese docs.

Weird definitely exists. If you can’t form social connections well with pretty much everyone you run into, you’re weird. You can pontificate about the proper terminology but that’s the one society understands.
Written by a guy. Misses the most obvious remedy: Regular vacuuming.

(And since that isn’t as cool as shopping for a particle counter, I guess the number of HN readers who will happily die a few days earlier is going to be much higher than the comment section would suggest. Ray Kurzweil happily downs his pills in order to live forever. But I doubt he vacuums his bedroom. Just doesn’t go that well with the whole futuristic life hacker theme. ;))
Well, you gotta post this somewhere so we can see
Being your own employer is the only way to take charge of this.

Platforms like Gusto, etc. make it so even small businesses can offer benefits and insurance like bigger companies do.

I went though various big and small employers plans, several states' exchanges, and none were nearly as good as doing the legwork to get benefits setup for my own company. Now I choose.
If the browser has 1080 vertical pixels, the scrollbars has max say 1000 possible positions. According to my napkin math* if you scroll over 100 uuids per second it would take up to ~1.7 septillion or ~1 700 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 years to scroll to an uuid of which you know the position if you hit the spot exactly on the scrollbar.

I never thought I would be defending health insurance providers yet here we are.

Do you honestly, after reflection, think this comment is fair?

They don’t only deny healthcare to people - if that was true no-one would pay them money because having healthcare would be no different to not having healthcare. Therefore they are not functionally isomorphic to a black box that collects money when it denies medical treatment.

If you want to make a mental model and then ask questions of the model you should have the confidence to make your model robust enough to approximate the “other side” of whatever argument exists on the topic.
And then tacking on to another poster's "Thai test": there are multiple semi-canonical ways to transliterate Thai to English, and I can only imagine the landscape for Thai to other languages. Added to that, times of day can be referred to in several ways (1 PM could be, literally, "afternoon o'clock") and sometimes different words for the different "sections" of the day, e.g. 7 PM is "1 evening". Depending on your audience and intent. Lots of variation.

As an American, it's really eye-opening to learn other languages and cultures and apply that context to your work in software.
This is exactly right.

While I think it would be suboptimal you could imagine "rerun the elections if the winner breaks campaign finance law or gets support from abroad" as an established norm in western democracies, but that's not the world we live in and the EU would not accept these shenanigans from a populist right wing government.
I like the minimal interface, gives an old.reddit.com vibe. HN is horrible to use on mobile though. Everything is tiny, difficult to tap I miss tap every 3 taps
I highly doubt the executive leadership of these organizations is remotely aware that’s even possible.
Is this the same for large format printers? Because they even have region locking.

A friend bought his Epson used from Germany for around €7500. During COVID times he needed more ink, but his supplier said it would be a month or two due to supply chain issues.

He borrowed a cartridge from a friend who had the correct colour, but his printer wouldn't recognize as it, as our part of Europe is a different region to Germany (ink is the same price in both).

He even spoke to unofficial technicians to see if they could unlock it, but the only solution would be replacing the motherboard to change the region.
I'm building magentic for use cases like this!

https://github.com/jackmpcollins/magentic

It's based on pydantic and aims to make writing LLM queries as easy/compact as possible by using type annotations, including for structured outputs and streaming. If you use it please reach out!
Yes yes it is

Same for when people are being too clever and use a password generator with all the characters for things you need to call/pass on some types of config files

No, you're not being smart for adding double quotes to a generated password, in fact quite the contrary. And guess who needs to try all types of escapes for that?!

TFA seems like another of Debian's self inflicted problems by people trying to be "too smart"
Ask HN: What will happen to social media?
With the incoming AI agents, I am pretty sure social media teams will be run mostly by these LLM bots. I am already observing accounts replying to every post on my feed.

Soon social media is going to be filled with bots posting content, and other bots commenting, re-sharing, and upvoting content. Quora already has an "Assistant" answering each and every question.

I am sure I will not stick around to scroll through such AI generated content.

With image generation models, even instagram is not going to be spared it seems. However, I am optimistic that video still has time. Most popular video contents usually have a human element with some presenter or subject doing or saying something interesting which is still hard using gen AI.
Very well said.

All they have done is giving his supporters a martyr to support. Do they actually think that the mainstream candidates will get the votes of the people who voted for this man?

If anything, this will reinforce their anger and distrust in the system.
Do you have any examples? I am quite confident I have never been in this situation, I have never heard of anyone except Kaiser patients (who are FWIW very happy with their service) getting this.
>“The people in our industry are mission-driven professionals working to make coverage and care as affordable as possible and to help people navigate the complex medical system,” Michael Tuffin, the president and CEO of powerful health insurance lobby AHIP, wrote on LinkedIn on Thursday. “We condemn any suggestion that threats against our colleagues — or anyone else in our country — are ever acceptable.”

I looked at this guy's LinkedIn and he was the "SVP, External Affairs" for the UnitedHealth Group from 2015 until 2023.
It cannot be dismissed as mere "correlation". These studies have been carried out on people of middle-class background too. Esp children of defense service personnel who have experienced frequent mobility. And studies carried out by different nations AND different cultures as well! Mental well-being is not mathematics - you cannot proof a definite cause with utterly no ambiguity.

Unfortunately, you took one single "could be" sentence out of an entire gamut of data confirming mobility-related mental health issues in children and completely ignored the conclusions section in that same paper, so I think you have already severely hardened your position and are unlikely to be convinced by anything I offer.

I would suggest simply talking to a practicing psychologist about this - you would probably be far more convinced than a HN commenter. Actually, this is where I first found out the same - I didn't know about this until a consultation with a psychologist.

(You can also ask your AI buddies - ChatGPT also confirmed it with several case studies offered.)
