> makes it almost impossible to pass anything except the most uncontroversial bills

It's actually worse than this.

Popular bills, like the Dreamers Act, become political footballs. Neither party wants to pass it while the other party is "in power" (in the minds of the electorate), and they want to keep it around as a bargaining chip, campaign promise, etc.

So the bills that get 60 votes aren't just uncontroversial, they're usually not even meaningful to voters.

He almost did - Joe Lieberman held it hostage and refused from what I remember: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2009/dec/16/joe-lieberman-...
Yes. I think I did well in math/physics classes in college and grad school just because I found the most effective way to study, for me, was to grind out as many problems as possible. Go through the old homework, old exams, books, anywhere you can find relevant problems with solutions to check against.
Good catch.

Counter(str1) - Counter(str2) | Counter(str2) - Counter(str1)

That ought to work. I'd hope Python's caching doesn't recompute the Counter for long strings.
>I don’t think hating any of the players makes sense. Those that set the rules are ultimately responsible.

If it were legal in certain circumstances to kill someone and take all their stuff, you'd hold the people who arrange for those circumstances to arise as often as possible for the purposes of plundering from their former neighbors blameless because "they're just playing the game"? What if it were torture instead of just murder? Does there ever come a point when a person is responsible for their actions?
There is no European healthcare system. European countries have very different healthcare systems.

> No, I don't think so. Maybe slightly larger, but if you are compressing your responses (a best practice), there should not be a significant difference between them.

Are we talking about this in an absolute sense? because an html payload whether you compress it or not is generally going to be larger. It obviously depends on what your html looks like, but even if you only are using minimal class names and aria properties, it's still going to be larger than JSON in almost all cases. As in conservatively 50% larger but realistically even more than that, just based on admittedly rudimentary experiments. That's after minification/gzipping and tabulated data is best case scenario for HTML with the small element names (tr, td).

Does that actually matter? Maybe, maybe not. As you said, plenty of real world cases of JSON APIs that are sending excessive data or making calls to the server too much.

...but with things like HTMX, you're either hitting the server or you're using client-side processing of some sort (at which point we're back at why aren't we using something that effectively handles other frontend problems?). I also still think there's rather large downsides to having part of your frontend being handled by the responses from the backend, even if you're using only using full stack developers.

Isn't it just that there's too much money and too big an industry (with lobbyists and campaign contributions)? People are not happy with the system but they're less dedicated to pressuring politicians than companies who depend on the status quo.
We all also hate the overly complex tax system that obliges individuals to calculate their own taxes and get penalized if they do it wrong, but tax preparers like Intuit can kill efforts to simplify it. I think in general we all hate some subsidies but recipient industries are effective in lobbying to preserve them. Etc etc.
People love them some Faustian bargain.
Partially. He basically kept ignoring the board and lying to the board -- and that was one such case.

Another example was he decided that all of PayPal needed to be Windows computers so every engineer has to stop what they were doing and convert. Board said stop, he said okay, then continued.
There's no special reason it has to PNG, though - if you're aiming for minimum line-count without dependencies then just use a raw bitmap.
The researchers' suggestion that certain architectural features might have been encoded in the sound [which is at least superficially plausible] is rather undermined the data leakage in the model also leading to it generate the right colour signage in the right part of multiple images. The fidelity of the sound clearly isn't enough for the model to register key aspects of the sign's geometry like it only being a few feet from the observer, but it has somehow managed to pick up that it's green and x pixels from the left of the image...
Isn't this an advancement in communication though? People can put out a message in whatever language or style they prefer, the machine translators translate it into an overly verbose AI vomit, and readers condense it back down into the exact kind of personalized language they're wanting to consume.
Show HN: Draw, an open-source Excalidraw Wrapper to save your drawings
Hi HN!

I’d like to share Draw, a project I’ve been working on. I built Draw because I needed a way to be able to sync my work that I did in Exaclidraw between my computers.

If you’re looking for a tool to save your Excalidraw sketches or want to explore the code, check it out! I’d love to hear your feedback and suggestions.

Deployment: https://draw.macintushar.xyz/

The risk pool being larger does not necessarily improve the risk pool.

Well ok except that healthcare companies are big political donors. In fact I think they are the biggest lobbyists in the states.
Evaporograph and Infra Red Images
It’s been almost two years since I was layed off. Unlike him though, I have not been working on side projects. This time has actually made me realize that I do not enjoy software, even working on projects for myself and as a hobby.

I’ve slowly spent all my savings, moved back in with my folks, and still don’t have a job. It’s rough. I have no idea what I wanna do in life. So I decided to join the navy recently, to give me the next 4 years to figure it out.
I almost envoy you, for your apparently sheltered existence.
From the outside, it seems that many Americans are opposed to regulation in general and universal healthcare is seen as 'socialist'. This is fed by politicians lobbied by corporations with deep pockets. To make it worse, large employers have a stake in keeping the system, because it reduces employee mobility and makes employees more obedient (since they don't want to or can't risk losing health care).

It seems that these problems can only be resolved if Americans accept more broadly that regulation can be good and that even though regulation can be 'socialist' it does not necessarily mean bad.
Why would it be uncorrelated? It is not unheard of for people to lose their job due to health issues, which then means they lose health coverage too. It's like they never really had coverage at all.
I remember before OpenAI no big company wanted to host a chatbot or provide a service around them after people made the all the bots say few racist lines. All the customer service bots were basic matching and answering questions from fixed database. Even if you even see 1-2 year back, companies were so focused on refusals, early Google's and Anthropic's model refused lot more things than now.

Now it's the same with image generation or voice model. They refuse everything but it takes one player to decide the market is worth capturing and everyone else will follow the money. As long as people can't generate nudes of any given person and there is a toggle(on by default) to block accidental nudes, I would say it's fine.

You can save over ten million children from murder if you raise support to ban abortion. Cancer is horrible, too. People following Christ built many hospitals, orphanages, recovery programs, and places like Life Choices Memphis to do what we can for them.

You show two, common views: God owes us something; no gratitude.

God is a sovereign being who can do what He wants with His creation like you do with your possessions. If we always choose evil, He owes us nothing but wrath. Yet, people expect God of all creation to come down, drop on His knees to kiss their feet, and do an entire list of things to please them and earn their respect. What arrogance!

In fact, His lovingkindness and mercies are on everything He’s made. He gives the gift of children to many people, gives medical treatment for cancers that human activities (eg chemicals/food/stress) are likely causing, and all the good things in our lives. Gor protects so many children that there’s almost ten billion people on Earth.

So, people show up on Hacker News grateful for all God has given them: children, our daily lives, and even good submissions here. Nope! Maybe you thank Him for protecting billions of lives or motivating tens of billions in charity. Nope! Instead, people act like He doesn’t exist, censor the Gospel in media, curse His name in movies, and accuse Him on HN with no credit for any positive things.

God must love us to keep letting us live, healing our kids, etc. While we were still sinners (God’s enemies), Christ died for us so we’d get a second chance. You should repent of the evil in your heart. Once you meet God, you may thank Him for all He does for you instead of curse Him. Especially for the gift of eternal life.
As a younger person, I've never really been alive for a computer that had no mouse.

So for people of my generation, it's really only the tech savvy ones that would use key commands for anything but the most rudimentary stuff (think copy, paste, save, and print).

Thats not to say that keyboard == hacker mentality, but that a keyboard-first tool like this wouldn't really target the average consumer at this point.
Not exclusively — I've seen several reasons quoted, including the rebrand, Musk's shift from Unix to Windows, and his leadership style.
it's the same in EU (I'm from Poland). You work, you have health insurance. Kids are connected with their parents insurance. There is always someone who pays.
That is an argument for mandatory healthcare, not tying it to employers.

The real challenge with employer-tied healthcare is the lowest wage workers would not be able to afford it otherwise.

High pay workers would receive a salary bump to compensate if healthcare were decoupled. Low paid workers wouldn't because they are already compensated above the market clearing rate for their labor.

This is because Republicans are beholden to the companies profiting from the existing system, and Democrats are beholden to unions[1].

Our unions are a reason we have no actual labor movement in this country. They're socially conservative and oppose universal health-care because it invalidates hard-won health benefits in the contracts they've negotiated with employers.

They spent decades fighting brutal legal battles and taking hits to their pay from striking, and one of the things they got was health insurance. It's painful to feel like that was for nothing.

Whenever I explore content on different platforms (Hacker News via Algolia, X, Discord, etc.), I always check if the source supports search operators. If it does, I use them to filter out noise and discover interesting or relevant content tailored to my preferences. For platforms without built-in search functionality, I rely on Google’s search operators to surface the content I’m looking for, as long as it’s accessible on the web.

They're content to just reject the bill or refuse to pay.

They'd love it if you sued the doctor for malpractice on the grounds of recommending something that the insurer's doctor rejected.

I don't think you can use the insurer's doctor who rejected your claim. You can try to get their board certification revoked, and in the wake of the murder people are talking about doing that more. But it's not in itself going to get you your meds.
I've been running some small galera clusters for close to a decade with very good results. It's multi-master, and mostly "just works", though once every year or three I have to go in and re-bootstrap the cluster from the node with the highest sequence number if all of the nodes have gone down for one reason or another. I have some ansible playbooks and scripts that help with it.

My use case is a fairly small database of email address mappings. I have a mail server that sends out emails on behalf of our users, using their outside e-mail address (gmail, yahoo, whathaveyou). In order to allow replies, but prevent being an open relay, I have a milter that creates a lookalike address, with a token in it (user@example.com -> user_at_example_com_x1uif8dm@mailserver.example.net).

I store those mappings in the mysql database, less than 10K of those. So a trivial database, very high read to write ratio.

More recently, maybe 3-4 years ago, I added another couple tables that store all the logs. I have a job that reads the postfix logfiles and writes out all the log information so we can show users the status of every of their outgoing e-mails. That upped the amount of traffic to the database by quite a lot, but it's still pretty simple: basically no transactions, just simple single insert statements, and IIRC one overview table that gets some updates, then a clean up job to delete them after 30-90 days.

Galera has been a real workhorse.

For a while I was going to go with cockroachdb, and I set up a POC. It was pretty robust with setting it up and clustering, I never ran into having to re-bootstrap the couster. But, at the time, postfix couldn't write directly to cockroachdb because cockroach could only do UTF-8, and the postfix pgsql code would only do latin-1 or something. This has changed since and I've thought about switching back to cockroach, but I hear there are some licensing issues I may have to be aware of.
Arguably not, but once revolution and civil war break out you don’t really have the option of just going back to how things were. It’s certainly better than if the civil war had gone on for 13 years as it has in Syria. We also don’t know how brutal Gadaffi’s crackdown and reprisals would have been had he won.

Libya’s been at peace for 4 years now, but it’s politically a mess. Syria has seen 18 times as many deaths as Libya with only 3 times the population.

Anyways the question wasn’t “will Syria be better than 13 years ago” it was “will a Syria become an Islamic state” - and it’s a fact that Libya hasn’t ended up that bad in that regard.
Because the European market based insurance models like the ones in the Netherlands and Germany are completely redundant bureaucracy without any actual market mechanism, and Americans are typically above that kind of nonsense. Americans want choice, but that necessitates having choice.
Exactly what I'm saying!

You can do it all in bash, yes, but it's very conceivable this "just" thing actually provides real value.
but which European system? in Poland we go private otherwise we wait two years (so you can die without a debt). In Sweden you need to pay for a doctor appoitnment. Netherlands you cover first few hundreds euros. Every country is little different.
That doesn't make sense. The minerals don't disappear just because Putin fails invading Ukraine. The minerals will be waiting in the ground no matter what.

What did you think of the demos? The sorts of things you mentioned seem like things doable in NYXT based on the demos, possibly even the exact sort of stuff they are trying to make possible. It looks like it's basically Common Lisp with a web browser attached, which suggests it should be fairly moldable too. I have not seriously used it myself though, so I can't say for sure what the limits are.
What you said is true, but it's much easier to do if you (as the interviewer) have full control over the questions and evaluation of the candidate in your interview.

For larger orgs at scale, often the interviewer needs to stick to a script, ostensibly to avoid personal bias (which probably does happen to a degree), and to make scores between interviewers comparable. In such cases it might be difficult for the interviewer to argue that the candidate has done well despite "not getting the answer correct".

A lot of the grievances people have for the interview process are artifacts of scaling the interview process for the largest tech companies. As for the smaller ones, it's basically good ol' cargo-culting. Small startups that follow FAANG processes probably don't realize they can customize their hiring process to their advantage.

I used to have the same opinion, my wife is the complete opposite.

Now I look back and wish I had more photos from the first 30 years of my life.
Does posing for a few seconds really bother you that much?

Taking a photo doesn't mean you can't see the "bigger picture". Frankly, that's a very, very weak argument.

Additionally, I wish my parents had more photos of themselves so I could get to know them better, from days before I was even born.
The Flickering Cryosphere
Because not everyone wants to pay for the same class of service.

The lowest common denominator is something like the NHS, with its well documented problems.

Many people wish to pay the minimum possible, and many people wish to pay for higher service and lower wait times. There must be some way of deciding who is prioritized for access to limited resources, and incentivizing increasing supply.
Some of the most common jobs in the US are driving trucks and working in warehouses. Those people are not some kind of random sample of healthy and unhealthy people. They tend to have chronic pain and metabolic disease at young ages.

If you want to pool healthy and unhealthy people together, you use the system that has worked in every other developed country, some for almost 100 years: pool everyone together. The whole point of a functioning government is for all of us to pool resources together to reduce risk for ourselves in our daily lives. Private health insurance makes absolutely no sense.

At least making insurance available for people with pre-existing conditions was a pretty big win for some. And the penalties for just passing on it are pretty small. However, as I wrote elsewhere, Medicare is still expensive if you recently had a high-ish income. It's been perfectly fine insurance for me so far but it's probably what many would consider unreasonably expensive.
Performance in your shell script is a new one. Can you cite a real world example where that would ever matter? My shell scripts just initiate build/export/deploy programs.

Unfortunately, organized labor in this country opposes the separation of employment and health insurance, so we will never be rid of it.

Somewhere along the way a firmware bug was discovered in the American psyche that judges whether or not something is “capitalism” by whether or not there are “companies” involved, but is completely insensitive to whether or not “competition” is involved: this is how you get a Vox piece that includes “private industry” and “legally allowed to negotiate prices” in the same paragraph but lacks “fucking ridiculous”.

The pharmaceutical companies have patents on the drugs and so they rent seek. The hospitals have geographic locations and generally don’t get built across the street from each other. The pharmacies are owned by the same parent companies as the insurers.

But somehow you can take this mess of central committee grift and pay some CEO 8 figures a year and now comrade, now we are doing the capitalism. We are rocking and rolling.
> they need their next paycheck to cover their monthly financial outflows [without dipping into their "rainy day fund"].

There, now Bernie makes sense.
That makes logical sense in terms of grabbing onto a specific mechanism for risk hedging, which would be how we accidentally and naturally arrived at this system.

But it doesn't make sense within a larger society in that you drop out of the pool of insurance-eligible people as soon as you have a health issue that limits your employability.

In fact, that specific case makes it seem totally insane and backwards. Why would you link a thing like employment to your health when your ability to work is directly tied to your health? What a crazy catch-22.

This was something that really lacked in my statistics degree. We were always learning different distributions, proofs and estimation methods but very rarely applied them to actual problems. I feel like you can kinda get away with this type of thing in math more, but in statistics, it makes things super hard to learn.
