Where are you getting 10X? If I look at, say, Merck, their "sales, general, and administrative expenses" [1] trends at even or slightly higher than their R&D expenses [2]. Abbvie's ratio is around 2x [3, 4].

AFAIK, SG&A is the number that groups criticizing pharmaceutical companies look at, even though it includes a lot of money spent on things like paying lawyers, which any pharmaceutical company that actually wants to make back the billions spent on developing drugs will have to do.

I had to get a medication for a stomach bacteria called C. diff. It has bad relapse rates and its best to get it in check asap. What my doctor prescibed was the newest/best antibiotic for the issue, the other have worse recovery rates and way worse side effects.

I have very good insurance. The price of the medication without insurance was about $5000, the price with very good insurance was about $1300. After redditing i found a thread where you can find a manufacturers coupon on the manufacturers website. After knowing this seemingly secret hidden trick the medicine was $50. My doctor didnt know about that, my insurance didnt either. Absolutely insane. Absolutely arbitrary.

The HP Elite x3 running Windows Phone 10 had a dock that would let you plug in a monitor and peripherals to provide a desktop Windows environment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_Elite_x3

If Intel hadn't cancelled their x86 smartphone chip (Broxton?), I wouldn't have been surprised to see an x86 Windows Phone with a desktop mode.
Ha ha. There could be valuables, you know. Anyway, I wanted to edit it to write, "most people are good, or at least compliant", but now the window has passed :)

I am sorry for the victims of abuse but this lawsuit is nonsensical.

There is plenty of bad things happening inside people's homes, should we start putting cameras in every home on the planet to deter these crimes?

A) You literally cannot have a murder trial without presenting a motive or evidence of reckless negligence/behavior (eg drunk driving).

This is not drunk driving, ergo motive will be central to prosecution and defense alike.

B) His lawyers will be the best of the best.

C) Jury nullification.
That's actually kind of brilliant - akin to putting "David Mayer" into your documents to poison them for OpenAI [0].

That said, I wonder: what's the motive here? Too many spammy applications from Chinese? Affirmative action to favor native students? Plain old racism?

This also makes me wonder if Taiwanese and Mainland Chinese people have different reputations in Japan given that Taiwan is a former Japanese colony and that the Taiwanese aren't shy about what happened in Tiananmen Square.

Was the man who strangled a homeless man on the subway convicted of murder, or did the jury let him go in the end? Is it judged yet?

But I agree with you, I think most new Yorkers will convict someone who killed a CEO. Also I bet they'll let go someone who killed a homeless person. I don't know a lot of new Yorkers but petty bourgeois are the same in every countries.
Just out of curiosity... 100 miles of /which/ US border?
Thanks. Do you have some sense of the breakdown in actual expenses incurred by the basic research and subsequent industrial development? It may qualitatively be true that many governments sponsor basic research that is later productized, but if the second bit costs 1000x more than the first bit, it's not exactly a fairly shared cost.
They won't have to do anything. They will let the EU force their hand on the issue via Chat Control and then claim they have no choice but to comply.
I think for most people, better cameras are one of the selling points of a premium phone. I even know pretty serious photographers (which at one point included myself) who don't generally travel with standalone cameras for most purposes any longer.
That this sort of mass killing is an externality to our legal system is why people have to take matters into their own hands. Our system is flawed and this a a symptom.
Insurance companies have a motivation to see high healthcare costs - it justifies higher premiums, and in a broken 'public' healthcare system that entrenches insurance middlemen, and subsidizes their costs for those unable to afford them, you're just going to see costs skyrocket endlessly.

Public healthcare, of any sort, should not involve working with third party insurance companies.

In any case, this is also why medical tourism is a thing - you could go get the exact same treatment, to completion, half way around for far less than what you the cost you were quoted for a single round in the US - including housing and other costs.

> Discrimination against Korean and Chinese nationals in Japan is, sadly, not an isolated phenomenon.

The whole article is based on two premises:

* that the Great Firewall of China blocking all instances of 六四天安門 in website text is expected and normal,

* that leveraging that behavior in any way (see Hyrum's Law) is unexpected and abnormal.

If the government seeks to filter any and all websites containing a given string, why would the Tokyo University be guilty of discrimination just by adding that string to their website? They are not the actor performing the filtering. One can argue it's the government of China discriminating against Chinese people who want to access information abroad in general.
Looking at the current Mazda lineup the replacement for the Mazda6 (29 mpg) is the CX-50 which adds AWD and gets 28 mpg or 38 mpg for the hybrid. I was suprised the Mazda6 would have so much more cargo area but in the spec sheet it lists 22 ft vs 31 for the CX-50. So to me the CX-50 looks like more capacity in about the same physical and carbon footprint, what am I missing here?

In Toyota's lineup the RAV4 is basically a tall Camry, and in Subaru's lineup the Outback kind of just got a bit taller and reclassified as a crossover alternative to the Legacy. Of course these companies all have larger and smaller options, but in general it seems like the adoption of larger vehicles is not because smaller ones aren't available, it's because for various reasons customers want to buy them. In any case worrying about exactly what vehicle mix is selling to me feels like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.
Doctors often are compensated for the money they bring to their hospitals by the treatments they prescribe. That is, there is an incentive for doctors to prescribe costly treatments because they will net more payments from insurance raising hospital revenues.
I mostly depend on manpower. Which they are lacking.

Show HN: Replace CAPTCHAs with WebAuthn passkeys for bot prevention
I built Nocaptcha after getting frustrated with traditional CAPTCHAs both as a user and developer. WebAuthn passkeys offered a promising alternative that's both more secure and user-friendly.

What makes Nocaptcha different:
- Uses WebAuthn standard instead of puzzle-solving
- No need for users to remember passwords or solve puzzles
- Open source

Current limitation:
Working with W3C WebAuthn Community Group on true passkey disposal for this use case.

Looking for feedback particularly on:
1. Integration experience
2. User experience compared to traditional CAPTCHAs
Single monitor is probably doable by the majority of phones on the market, but multi-monitor is another story. I’m not sure that most phone SoCs have the hardware to support more than one, which would mean that additional monitors would need to be driven via software ala DisplayLink which might make the phone get hot and negatively impact battery health.

The other issue is demand. I suspect that the number of people who’d like their phone to double as a computer is actually rather small — non-technophiles just do everything on their phone these days, and increasingly the main reason anybody keeps around a computer is for more “big iron” sorts of use cases that are too demanding for smartphones. The market for a converged computer-phone device is basically down to people whose needs would be served by a Chromebook, but would prefer an external monitor and keyboard which is rather niche.
Yes and no, over a full year there’s ~6 visits to a national park per acre. Damage is a function of how much people concentrate in specific areas not an inevitable result of how many people visit parks.

You need trails for extreme attractions like old faithful or tiny parks near major metro area, but it’s fine to go far off the beaten path as nowhere close to enough people do so to meaningfully impact what’s there.

But that gets back to my point people in general aren’t looking to experience nature. They want those scenic overlooks, waterfalls, etc not a random spot.
Maybe because it's been many years since I used C or C++ for anything serious, but I don't get that impression from using make in the first place. I haven't seen it used for setting up a build environment per se, so there aren't any "packages" for it to manage. When I've written a Makefile, I saw it as describing the structure of cache files used by the project's build process. And it felt much more declarative than the actual code. At the leaves, you don't tell it to check file timestamps; you tell it which files' timestamps need to be up to date, and let it infer which timestamps need to be compared and what the results of those comparisons need to be in order to trigger a rule. Similarly, a rule feels composed of other rules, more than it feels implemented by invoking them.
Comments you see on the Internet are not a random sample! If there's one lesson I could drive home to everyone about media literacy, this is it. Everything you see online is intensely, competitively selected for its ability to drive engagement, and celebrating murder drives a ton of engagement precisely because it transgresses well-established and widely agreed norms. Indeed, as we've seen here, the murder drives so much engagement that people are eager to discuss it in the comments of any article that's even tangentially related!
Maybe we should have figured out a defense justification for high speed rail. That’s the justification for the interstate highway effort at least initially.

What competitive advantage does Tesla have in renewables?

They produced 1.5 million. Their sales are down, they have no new models releasing, they have competition on all fronts, they likely will lose the Chinese market in the trade war. They need to sell 20 million vehicles to justify their stock.

If Tesla has a kuckass sub 10000$ sodium ion city car (aka the car for 1-3 billion people)... But they have luxury vehicles and that's it.

This assassination meets none of the criteria however. I suspect we'd find an amusing overlap between people who want to exculpate the assassin, and those who are opposed to the state applying the death penalty to convicts.

Whether or not the guy had it coming is an opinion, one I'm personally holding off on having until we have more information about it. That means I'm not ruling out thinking so, and harbor hope in any case that it might prompt other health insurance CEOs to consider whether providing better service to their customers might also be in their direct self interest. Then again, I'm not opposed to the death penalty either.

But regardless of where one might fall on that question, it's delusional to think that the state will not regard the assassination as first-degree murder, and that a jury would do other than convict in the event that they're persuaded that the defendant is the same person as the one who was caught on video shooting him in the back. That's not what's going to happen.

I would say that our leaders would quickly start to address some of the inequities throughout our legal system that allow people to be taken advantage of in egregious ways. But our leaders are not like that. They'll likely do nothing about a lot of the unfairness in the laws out there. There is in fact, unfortunately, a distinct possibility that many of our leaders went into politics to increase the unfairness.

I just kind of get the sense that we're at a point in our history where we're already sitting on a powder keg. We shouldn't play with fire while we're sitting here. Let's at least get rid of some of the powder first.

Obviously it's not every union and they have different degrees of support or opposition. But Democrats won't pass any major health-care bill without the support of all the largest unions, and they're never getting that, especially as many unions are defecting to MAGAism now.

> Anyone I know that wants separation of employment and health insurance is also very pro-union.

Are they in labor unions? Or are they white-collar workers with college degrees who happen to support both of these things?

As we saw in the last election, there can be a significant disconnect between union members' views and the official unions themselves.

It’s a fair assumption because there’s no genetic benefit to being a smart plant. Why would nature make that?

Opposable thumbs mean we have the ability to use smarts, so genetics walked the path to consciousness over many generations. A smarter horse is fine and all but not that beneficial. Being faster or stronger or sexier is probably better. Same with a plant: get more nutrients or sunlight. There are cheaper ways than being smart to do that.

Please tell us more. Which country would this be in? What bone was broken?

The idea that a state engages in some grand conspiracy to spare the expense of a gypsum cast is ludicrous to me. Yes states engage in cost-benefit analysis of treatments but the contentious bits are not around broken bones. More along the lines if particular cancer treatments are worth it or not, or if the state can pay for super expensive advance treatments.
I don't doubt it is true, but "western nations corroborate the evidence" also happened in "Saddam has nukes" and lots of other situations in history.

I don’t. But here’s the thing: it wasn’t that way at first. It’s just that over time my phone just slowed down. Purging it of its data and unused software did nothing, I just had less and less available memory over time, and maps grew slower and slower, and it was becoming increasingly impossible to open several, sometimes just two applications at the same time.

---

That being said, I do agree with the core point of the article: phones are plenty fast enough.

Heck, I’m pretty sure a snappy modern UI with all the bells and whistles except perhaps a voice assistant requires less than a tenth of the computing power of the average phone. We just need reasonably performing software. Not crazy optimised software, just something that makes decent use of the CPU and GPU, and doesn’t consume too much RAM.

But the market won’t even give us that. You know what, keep that up a few years and I’ll seriously think of switching back to a flip phone.

react
React is a JavaScript library for creating user interfaces.

The react package contains only the functionality necessary to define React components. It is typically used together with a React renderer like react-dom for the web, or react-native for the native environments.

Note: by default, React will be in development mode. The development version includes extra warnings about common mistakes, whereas the production version includes extra performance optimizations and strips all error messages. Don't forget to use the production build when deploying your application.

Usage
import { useState } from 'react';
import { createRoot } from 'react-dom/client';

function Counter() {
const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
return (
<>
<h1>{count}</h1>
<button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>
Increment
</button>
</>
);
}

const root = createRoot(document.getElementById('root'));
root.render(<Counter />);
