I for one am fed up with people advertising that they are using rope for their string implementation in an editor or editor-adjacent library. Ugh. We get it. Niche datastructure, woah so cool. You really went above and beyond and read that appendix to your data structures and algorithms textbook...!

This is incredible. The quality of the writing is on another level, it's not just about throwing corporate jargon but weaving it through a nicely written piece. Thank you for sharing, looking forward to reading more comments from you.

Google is neither the party holding the payroll information nor the party that chose to make it available on terms that are insecure against loss of control of the domain, why would it be rational for them to be liable?
We are talking about delivering care, not innovative medical technology. The biggest single target for innovation in care delivery is to get rid of private insurers.

I think the graph at the top of this article really says it all: https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2019/05/22/republic...
Of course, I'll cut DEI programs, layoff some staff and you do this for me.
I think the times have changed. The Great Powers of the world are becoming more hostile to each other yet we continue to operate the naive way. We play by the rules but our rivals have no rules. This makes us weak, exploitable and ineffective.

As such, I support the ban, for the sake of doing something. I admit it's not ideal but we live in a messy and tense world. User's speech isn't really taken away, just use another dopamine feed. Better yet: use none.

You'll find it's in particular activists protesting this move.
Got any more of that hyperbole? Or maybe outdated xenophobia?

The average manufacturing salary in China is around $13,000 a year, in a country where cost of living is 50% lower than the US and rent is 75% lower.

China is actually a place with relatively high manufacturing labor costs these days, but it's a production center for a lot of industries and holds a lot of the ecosystems and institutional knowledge (not unlike all the automotive parts suppliers in the American Midwest).
Sure, I'll defend them, conceptually at least. I think most actors in this system are in some sense corrupt, and I don't think insurers are the most corrupt. Pull up the 2022 National Health Expenditure table, "National Health Expenditures by Type of Expenditure and Program: Calendar Year 2022" and look at combined hospital and physician expenses compared to insurer expenses; it's pretty black-and-white.

I think people really don't understand the effort, care and risk that goes into producing quality reporting.

I work with investigative reporters on stories that take many months to produce. Every time we receive a leak there is an extensive process of proving public interest before we can even start looking at the material. Once we can see it in we have to be extremely careful with everything we note down to make sure that our work isn't seen as prejudiced if legal discovery happens. We're constantly going back and forth with our editorial legal team to make sure what we're saying is fair and accurate. And in the end, the people we're reporting are given a chance to refute any of the facts we're about to present. Any mistakes can result in legal action that can ruin the lives of reporters and shut down companies.

Now, imagine I were to go to a reporter who has spent 6 months working on a story about, for example, a high profile celebrity sexually assaulted multiple women, how the royal family hides their wealth and are exempt from laws, or how multinational corporations use legal loopholes to avoid paying taxes, and said, "oh, 1% of people reading this will likely be given some totally made up details".

Given that stories often have more than a million impressions, this would lead tens of thousands of people with potentially libellous "hallucinations".

It simply should not be allowed.

LLMs have their place, for sure, but presenting the news is not it.
There's nothing free-flow about TikTok, though. Like Twitter/X, Instagram, etc it's actually a carefully curated experience that can be tuned opaquely by whoever runs it to control the flow of information. The US took umbrage to this being in the direct hands of a foreign adversary.
Your bike is upright and the handlebars straight. You add velocity to it. There's no tipping there. It will go straight forever. It's a self balancing system - unlike skiis. You only tip the bike over to turn and that (counter steering) only after a certain speed.

I maintain that it's looking at the pedals. Looking itself doesn't do anything but a newbie will move the handlebar or lean while looking and or won't generate enough speed. Couple of days on the saddle and they can look anywhere while riding.
"Culture" can cause a lot of problems. There's a lot we can say about comparing specific cultures to each other.

But someone claiming that "multicultural" is worse than "monocultural" is probably being racist.
7 seconds was great for certain types of videos especially quick comedic ones and brevity being the soul of wit means you have to be intentional with the little time you have

doubling the max duration length added greater versatility for creators while minimizing bloat.

making longer videos beyond a certain length can add to rambling and bloat which is why they've since added speed controls.
You can't screenshot a physical book nearly as easily as a PDF. That's an issue for making flashcards out of a whole host of useful informational visuals, not to mention stuff that is just plain hard to communicate in plain text.
I was about to say I was suprised she ended up as your wife after that.

You can't post direct links you get from youtube on your server to the users, they will get 403 most often if they use these links from different IP.

Heck, you even have the IP in the link itself :) 2605:a140:2236:8761::1

Also for protected media, like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJQP7kiw5Fk it only gives 360p and audio this way. Far from 4K you promise.
I'm generally pretty open to the idea that the NRC is bad and needs to be reformed, but a year and a half doesn't seem that unreasonable? Especially for a new reactor design.
I asked that when I first heard about them, and I came to the same conclusion the FTC did, basically: https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2023/02/...

Their S-1 also stated,

(I should also say that I agree with the implicit message in your comment, too.)
The news industry capitulated to big tech the moment it got reliant on big tech for the majority of its revenue. The entire media landscape today is the direct result of that.
It took me a minute to find it. It's a different model -- pull down the models list and you might see one with tasks.

TBF, that's also true when compared to Windows. The only actually stable ABI in all major OS's are Linux Win32 via Wine.
I think one of the things that deserves discussion here is the whole concept of pharmacy benefit managers in the first place.

To start, can anyone give some good resources that really explain clearly what the role is that PBMs actually serve, and how the whole system even functions? I've tried to understand in the past but have always thought "Why do you exist???". Like the whole way companies like GoodRX can have a viable business: if I don't use you, my prescription medication is, say, $1000, but if I do use you, it's $60. One of the pharmacies I used to go to even had a keychain with random prescription discount codes on it that the cashier would scan. I.e. I'd go to check out, and the cashier would scan the price and it would come up as $X, then she'd say "Hold on a sec", and scan the discount code on her keychain and then would say "That's better, your price is now $0.1*X".

Like how can any of that possibly make any sense?
bless up, I've been looking for this
It's responsibility laundering — AI can say whatever they want and they can shrug it off by saying bots are sometimes unreliable

It's hard to imagine anything more toxic to the cause of healthcare reform than tying it to support for vigilante murder.
They are able to source labor locally though. They're just not willing to pay market rate.

The fact that companies can import more exploitable workers who they can also pay less than market rate does not equate to them not being unable to find skilled local laborers.

There is an abundance of qualified local laborers.
Shameless plug, but we built http://CodePeer.com - to bring Critique like features to everyone else. Take it for a spin if you like!
Thanks I came across Walter Bagehot in the book Price of Time which looks at interest rates and money throughout history.

It turns out that interest rates are still manipulated by banks and governments whether it's gold or something else. The difference is that at least under gold there's constraints and a price to be paid for debasing.
That's how women earned the right to vote in this country...
really stretching the definition of recycle there. Material staying within a closed loop is kind of a requirement for something to be recycled. The farms don't do anything to keep the water available and have to extract more water from other sources
Gives you some idea of the massive amount of data available to US authorities derived from the US domination of privacy invading services.

They know it's a threat because they wrote the book on it. That's also why we'll never get decent privacy legislation.
The same statistics are similar for Medicaid too but also missing the forest for the trees in that for profit seems to be the main differentiator with the US vs. other parts of the world. There are plenty of models around the world that show this works and it works well.

First it's the government can't do this, then it's the government wouldn't do this because of this reason while ignoring that the US healthcare system is spending more than any other country and missing the mark on outcomes. Every other developed country in the world has figured this out. While not perfect, they're paying less and broadly getting better outcomes.

>I sure hope I've upgraded SSDs by the year 2065.

My mind jumped at that too when I first read parent's comment. But presumably he's writing other files to disk too. Not just that one file. :)
Have you ever read a news article on a subject where you have expertise and knew it was inaccurate? The news is probably more inaccurate than you think.

I bet you think the news is accurate all other times. It’s called “Gell-Mann Amnesia”
Yup, how can people ignore what is in front of their eyes? History repeats itself and we have not learned from it. From the robber barons to today's tech billionaires.
Exactly. I've even gone to the trouble of getting ebooks of physical books that I have in some cases. I vastly prefer the size and weight of an e-reader as compared to most books, plus the ability to change the font size to something I can easier read as opposed to the small fonts often chosen by paper books to minimize pages.
Sure, but maybe you get diminishing returns with higher human IQ at some point.
This is a dumb tangent that's been beaten to death, but yes Apple base model systems to tend to be somewhat untouchable in value around when they're released. Buying something anywhere close to the form factor of a Mac mini with the same performance is nearly impossible.

We also shouldn't beat this horse to death because it's not hard to plug in a USB/Thunderbolt SSD and there's essentially no performance penalty.

Or if you have a MacBook Pro you can get one of these: https://9to5mac.com/2022/05/20/macbook-pro-flush-sd-card-tra...

Not the fastest thing in the world but it gets the job done.
>The tour operator said they will have four clients inhale a xenon gas blend upon arrival in Kathmandu, then fly to base camp, then climb to the summit within two hours.

I don't see much saying they actually tried it first. It seems rather a dangerous experiment otherwise. The normal trouble with going up without acclimatizing is getting altitude sickness. One time when I was there a film crew at Nepal base camp sent a local guy to Kathmandu to get some film gear which due to delays involved him staying there three weeks, then he returned to base camp in a day and died because the three weeks had been long enough to lose acclimatization even thought the guy was from the area and used to being at altitude.

I mean maybe xenon stops that but I wonder how well they have checked. Flying to base camp is especially iffy. The norm is to fly to Lukla which is at a safe altitude and then walk up. At least that way if you feel bad you can turn around and walk back down, at least in theory.

EDIT - It seems from the FT article that Furtenbach has tried it. - https://archive.ph/1qEGQ
Well if you put it like that then I'm starting to wonder what shortage we are talking about in the first place.
Although I agree with every single sentence you've said, we've seen in the past decade how only very small percentage of people actually care about the content of the news. Everyone just discusses and gets their information from the headlines, so this is a natural consequence of "let's just summarize it to a couple of sentences since nobody reads it anyways".
Well... farming exists....

I'm not sure I agree microchips are as critical as stable food supply, but I'd be willing to entertain the idea they're close enough to be treated specially.
In many ways, the problem is that we do treat health care different. What other industry will actively reject attempts to ask about prices? What other industry just sends out bills with no contractual basis and exaggerated fraudulent amounts made up after the fact? What other industry do you need to buy "insurance" to even be able to financially communicate with service providers? What other industry does the government provision social services by telling businesses that they must serve some of the most expensive customers for free, and then ensures monopolies so those large losses can be made back from every other customer? What other industry is it impossible to obtain services until a professional declares that you "need" them, at which point it's supposed to be close to free?

These massive profits are because of the so-called "regulation" that has continued to keep market dynamics away, new entrants out, and the industry supremely entitled (from doctors to billing departments). The political debate continues to be sidetracked by doubling down on this mistaken idea of thinking constructive outcomes can simply be declared in law. What needs to happen is to focus on making healthcare a competitive market where patients have agency, while also providing direct financial subsidies when people need them.
> Instead of trying to work around the ban, however, over 700 million TikTok users have shifted over to the social video platform RedNote

Not 700 million. 700 thousands. "Over half a million".
> US citizens elected representatives to make laws for them. Even more so, this is a bipartisan law.

A majority of American citizens want affordable healthcare, housing, and education, net neutrality, an arms embargo vs Israel, an end to illegal forever wars, stronger environmental protections, cleaner water, less fossil fuel use and an end to fracking, etc - and there's still bipartisan resistance in our politics and media against all of those.

Congress doesn't actually represent us, it represents capital. Been like that for a long time. https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-echochambers-27074746
Same with my daughter. We tried with balance bike, but she didn't adopt it and didn't find it fun to try. We went to training wheels and she was immediately motivated. And at the same time, I've heard success stories with balance bikes from my friends.

Kids are different, try out different things.
At first glance (no pun intended!), the name of that app seems a bit unsavoury ...
Is there the option to get the news then as they fly in immediately in a feed?
I suppose that "passive natural circulation cooling" means that plain convection of the coolant(s) is sufficient to cool the reactor, without involving pumps which could fail. Convection can't fail as long as there is coolant and no significant obstacles.
The timing of this announcement is surely to contrast to open OpenAI which is currently in court being sued by The New York Times.
The average student shouldn't be expected to remember more than 5% of what they learn through school because teaching them to use a computer program for half an hour is too hard? That's bleak.
> shows that the US never had a world war on the continent. All the other countries treat health care as a matter of national security

I forgot about the world-class healthcare the populations of Africa, the Middle East and the war-ravaged parts of Asia enjoy.

I agree there is probably a link between war and healthcare. But the link flows through civic pride and identity, and population-wide familiarity with the horrors of war, more than it does from any sense of military preparedness. (That said, I've never seen an American politician try to sell universal healthcare as a national security imperative. Hmm...)
> But has everything to do with the need to take a closer look at the entire system and how we can do things better.

People do that literally everyday.

If there was a silver bullet, we'd take it.
Where I get confused is storing the tokens securely. There's a lot of conflicting information online. I've come across many examples where they suggest localStorage which is a horrible idea.

A lot of the advice I see now is about http-only cookies but I think I'd probably look more into oAuth in the future.

 likely take over. So, regardless of what your thoughts on TikTok are, it's mostly all irrelevant.
Yeah. The biggest difference is you can elect the public healthcare death panels, or call your senator or representative to lean on them. There's not a thing you can do about the private insurers' death panels.

Medicare may turn you down for an organ transplant because there are only so many to go around and you're not the best candidate. Private insurance may turn you down because "shareholder value".
>It shows that the US never had a world war on the continent. All the other countries treat health care as a matter of national security.

Sounds like https://xkcd.com/1122/

For instance, Canada, which also arguably "never had a world war on the continent" has public healthcare. What gives? What about all the central/south american countries that don't have public healthcare?

Correct, it's a 'human' thing - nothing peculiar to US.

What’s crazy to me is … we are talking about a totally unnecessary food additive. It’s not like I’m arguing against some critical public health intervention to prevent a deadly virus. It’s a dye to make food turn a color.

As a comparison, here's the "Why RON" for the native RON/Rust format:

Note the following advantages of RON over JSON:

* trailing commas allowed
* single- and multi-line comments
* field names aren't quoted, so it's less verbose
* optional struct names improve readability
* enums are supported (and less verbose than their JSON representation)

I feel like they are close enough that it would be better to just use RON, which has existing uptake/tooling.

As one of the first engineers at Mura, you will play a key role in building the product that our customers are interacting with day-to-day, and the platform on which we will grow moving forward.

This is not just a coding role. You will be expected to deeply understand the customer’s needs and make product decisions. You will need to architect systems with an eye to efficient scaling, help with customer launches, analyze data, and generally perform what tasks are necessary for Mura to consistently deliver more value to customers.
The only solution is to regulate. But if we had politicians with spine, they would enact retroactive fines and jail time, and pierce the veil to go after the executives and owners who profited to recoup these unjustifiable costs that can only come due to anti competitive practices.

And let’s not forget, United Healthcare’s subsidiary Change Healthcare held the breach notifications for MONTHS from affected people. They only got sent out recently, and the company not only refuses to compensate victims in any useful way, but won’t even tell them what information of theirs was compromised (hint: medical records). This affected 100 million patients, many of whom have NEVER been customers of Change or United:

Except that "one head of lettuce" is a widely-known "measure" that most people are going to understand.

Most of this business-speak jargon is incomprehensible to people who haven't heard it before in the workplace. It seems "normal" to people like us here on HN because most of us have interacted with these sorts of business types (or are even one of them), but I would guess that most of the people who know what a head of lettuce represents would have no idea what ROI or noun-form "solve" means.
Nevertheless, the voters made their choice and actively voted for these representatives.

If everyone is so outraged and there's so many TikTok users, they can rally and vote out the people who voted for this.

I for one support this ban fwiw. You'll find out a lot of people do too. So in this instance and quite a few others, my representative has voted in my favor.
UnitedHealth hid its Change Healthcare data breach notice for months
In neighborhoods with better school districts, home prices and rents are higher in proportion to the demand people have for better schools, creating de facto segregation based on income, and by your logic, by race too.
The standard I arrived at is roughly "would I be sad if, in 15 years, I forgot about this book/piece of music?". If it's something that I enjoyed so much today that I'd be afraid to lose it amongst 10,000's of eBooks or songs on a streaming platform, I physically buy it.
> Your kid's inability to focus should not be the reason my kid can no longer remember his material.

The books are brought back (at a cost) because the kids have proven to learn better from books, or a mix of mediums. They haven't, and won't, use only physical or only digital material. They'll use a mix.
I read all fiction on my Kobo these days. I used to collect paperbacks but they take up a lot of space, especially if you're getting through 20+ books a year. I basically hoard books on my Kobo so I never don't have another book to read.

I do remove the DRM, though. I still want to own books.

But paper is still by far the best format for textbooks. It's not even close.
