It's not a problem that can be 'hacked'.

Much like hunger in the third world: it's a political problem.

Practical solutions have long since been developed and proved in other places. The problems persist where they do, because there's no political will to actually implement the solutions in those places.

I think an easy way to improve the health care industry would be to quadruple the number of urgent cares and keep them all open 24 hours a day. Financially the system encourages urgent care use, but they are often tough to access. Many times in the middle of the night we have to consider taking a child to the ER or just waiting until morning.

I don't know if this would improve general health, but it sure would make me feel like I am getting more for what I pay.
That wasn't really trolling. It sounds like a genuinely good suggestion (that wasn't implemented well).
Sphinx actually does show the paragraphs in browser. Try a search to see.

The source files for Sphinx are plain text in rst format (like markdown but with more functionality). It generates HTML from that, but (by default) the original plain text files are also included in the output. The search index tells it which pages match and the javascript grabs the plain text and shows paragraph matches.
I'm not sure there is much correlation between the two, at least in my case.

I fall squarely into the "no music" camp, and have since I was a child where music during study would drive me crazy. Music while coding is just a distraction to me.

However, I really love F.lux/Redshift. One of the most relaxing and productive things for me is to work in a dim or dark room with the display shifted to a fairly low color temp. By contrast, during the day I prefer fairly high contrast, using the VividChalk theme in Vim. In the past I would switch to a lower contrast theme like OceanDeep, but never found one to work well with red hues yet, which I prefer in dim light (partially as a throwback to old amber monitors.)

As a side note, I will agree with everyone saying the automated time based shifts are annoying. I usually find myself pausing or disabling it. Having it triggered off ambient light levels is the logical way, imho.

I also prefer nobody throw hambmurgers at me while coding, but if they want to toss them onto the corner of my desk for later consumption, I won't complain...
In this particular case, yeah, I think a grassfire is long overdue (like the California chaparral - suppress the fires long enough and you end up burning three counties at a time).

But there are times and places where fire prevention is considered a good thing.
Just one point: the 50/50 split can just be a starting point for profit sharing. Companies can be structured for that decisions/voting are handled independently from ownership percentages. 50/50 splits aren't forever either. Additional equity can be issued at certain milestones. There are a lot of ways something like this can be setup so its fair for everyone and it seems like hmexx is open to suggestions to make that fair.

Does most people who learn English as a second language learn both how to read and speak at the same time?

Native English speakers (as with all languages) learn how to speak years before they learn how to read. This makes inconsistencies in letter sounds irrelevant to having good conversational English and leaves learning the inconsistencies later, where you learn common rules that cover most of the language and absorb all the rule breakers while reading.
Next step, remove all PHP use.
By the way, I refactor C with regexps and text utils. In UNIX a pretty complicated refactoring can be done with a shell oneliner. This method actually rules. C allows that because it does not have namespaces. C is minimalistic so that it allows working with it with minimalistic tools rather comfortably.

Absolutely. But in the more temperate regions there's not quite so much water, and shipping it in from the ice caps would be expensive.

The poster he's replying to said 99% of people don't need Java AT ALL. Not just the browser.
Yes.

All languages have a virtual machine, or if you prefer abstract machine, that describes how the language sees the hardware.

CINT is a C/C++ interpreter for example,

http://root.cern.ch/drupal/content/cint

Programming languages are independent of their canonical implementation.

Usually the usage of a compiler, interpreter or JIT as default implementation is a matter of return of investment for the set of tasks the language is targeted for.

The ignorance on display here is a bit astonishing.

Health insurance in MA is not equivalent to health insurance in Idaho; in MA insurance is much more tightly regulated so that you can rely on it. What good is a largely unregulated insurance policy that refuses to pay out when you're really sick?

Now, if Idaho had strong regulators that were enforcing the same sort of standards as MA, you might be able to compare but then you'd run smack into the fact that...the cost structures are completely different. Everything is more expensive in MA, including housing and doctors.

Ask HN: Disrupt forum software cetegory with only UX improvements? 
I've worked on several products where we built a community forum section. We chose to build from scratch because the existing threaded forums (vBulletin[1], vanilla[2], phpbb[3]) all used the same general layouts (threaded discussion, pagination, tables for layout).
All the people commenting on this saying Java is never used by anybody and no one should be having it installed are way off, seriously. There's a reason Java is #2 on the TIOBE language list. Just because you never see it doesn't mean it's not being used. You might not know this, but Gmail is Java powered on the backend. Many banking sites use Java for a backend. In the corporate world, Java rules and is required to be installed on their machines.
Jobs didn't have much business experience when they started the company and there was a friendship there.

Yes, I did read the section. And I'm not blind to the fact that languages will age, and there are certainly many, many languages more advanced and higher-level than C is now. I think that's good. It's a bit weird to me to see people who really never programmed in C, and for whom the concept of a pointer is a bit foreign, but time marches on.

I suppose my quibble is semantic at its heart. To say C is not high-level language may be an opinion, both valid and not without reason. But it may also show a lack of perspective -- some missing history. It's a lower-level language compared to many, without question. But it's still a high-level language, and I have not only my reasons for saying so, but evidence to the point.
I'm interested, but I have an important question: Are you an accredited investor? Must you be, for this plan to work?

Compared to a "low-end" PC, it's the much better marketability of such an "integrated" product under one brand name. From that point of view it's no different than a console.

Compared to a console, though, it should be a lot more open for developers and users alike. They'll allow other stores in there, games will probably be a lot cheaper for developers to put on their platform, and they will be a lot cheaper for users, too. If they combine it with Oculus Rift somehow, it will make for some great value proposition.

Language learning in children is one of the hardest to explain phenomena in psychology, linguistics and neuroscience. Trying to sum it up in three bullet points doesn't do it justice and is a gross oversimplification.
> While agree with you, you haven't proved that this is due to a CD's objectively better sound quality.

I hadn't intended to, as that would be impossible. My point was more that "people preferred records and tapes for their flaws" is only clearly true of some early enthusiasts.

And it was not my experience that tapes were much easier to damage. Tapes were relatively durable unless you pulled the actual tape out of the cassette — and even then you usually got away with just minor signal degradation. CDs were extremely vulnerable to scratching, any scratch could render them pretty much unlistenable, and they were fairly brittle with a wide, thin surface area.
isn't the point that on average, rational actors would prefer the wait, since, on average, that is correlated with better outcomes? perhaps partly because you presented a false choice - it's often a choice between waiting or not being able to afford it?

what i mean is, well, great rhetoric, but you know, facts, man. facts.
Sorry for the naivety, but what should be done against the TFTP arp poisoning? This is a non-provisioned phone, it doesn't know who it's owner is. OK, in the case this is registered, and you know the SSH password, then yes, I agree the phone could do more to verify the TFTP. But if you're running an up-to-date call manager, then more has been done.

If you pwn the phone, true, you'd probably be able to register it to another VLAN, pretend to be a PC plugged into the PC port, and bingo.

Not disagreeing, it is quite serious. But the coverage it's getting is rather overblown - compared to the coverage that most remote execution exploits get (almost none).
The question become data security though. If doctors, medics, or law enforcement officers randomly plug in devices from an unknown source into their network, that's a serious breach in security. I can't imagine that that would change even if they know about your product.
English is a lumpy mishmash of West German, Scandinavian, and Old Norman, leavened with generous helpings of Latin, Greek, and borrowed words from dozens of other languages. That makes for a big basket of grammatical, spelling and pronunciation exceptions held together by vestigial declensions and duct tape.

All in all, a delightful language to read and write if you know it, but a tar pit if you're trying to learn it.
Really?!

Have you ever looked at what InteliJ allows as refactoring tools?
Thanks. I hope you didn't take my first comment as an insult.

What I meant by that is C is not just something you sit down with after skimming the specification and "bang out." There are years of community "inherited knowledge" on how to write C so it doesn't result in disaster. The very need for these practices exemplifies the flaws in C as a language -- by the very nature of working around these vulnerabilities, you acknowledge that they are vulnerabilities. Thus, if one doesn't see C's issues then one is doomed to C's mistakes (this sentence is very strange when read out loud).
Very common issue with machine learning: you have to be careful what your examples are (training set) or the algorithm will learn things that you don't want it to learn or that _you_ know are incorrect but _it_ has no way to know that.
I believe he actually intends to talk about the C abstract machine, which is a well-defined technical term (and is actually used extensively in the C standard).

I had one of these for years. It doesn't work every time (not every time the pressure drops it will start to rain) but it helps you prepare.

I also have a barometer on the Galaxy Note phone. I tried some barometer applications, but I could not find one that doesn't drain the battery even when they are not showing data, so I stopped using them. The idea is great, but the implementation of the applications and phone not so much - especially when you compare it with a solar powered watch.
That's a lot closer to a dream kitchen than an "minimum viable".
Then I suppose someone should tell Google their bullshit detector is broken.
> I don't see it approximating anything like a real economy.

My point is that it doesn't have to at first. (Some European North American colonies didn't have a real economy at first, either.) Right now, there are people paid to do research in Antarctica. (Not paid as much, but if the current international legal climate towards colonization of Antarctica changes, this will change.)

> Mars would have no net exports to Earth, and no real wealth

In the context of a solar-system wide civilization, this is patently false. Mars would be tremendously wealthy for reasons that are analogous to the wealth of the North American continent. Mars has many of the things that Earth has (exploitable ore deposits, water, and potential for agriculture) but it has them in a much shallower gravity well, so basic physics would dictate that Mars would dominate trade over Earth in such a context.

Whichever civilization realizes that Earth is just a local maxima for human potential and dominates the colonizing of Mars will dominate the human history of the solar-system, just as English speaking western civilization dominated the 20th century through the settlement of North America.

My hunch is that many Chinese scientists and engineers understand this very well, and this will result in a concerted effort by China to colonize Mars. So what I'm saying, is that there will be initial wealth transfer from Earth, fueled by nationalistic competition.
It's interesting to find out just how many ways @ is bad but this article is going to fall on deaf ears. The people that can be convinced that it's bad are already not using it. Those that need to be told why the "ignore broken things and keep on trucking" operator is bad, aren't paying attention anyways.
> Would you rather wait 2 months just to see a specialist and another 2 months for treatment like patients in nationalized healthcare systems frequently do?

At least we get treatment not dependent on the quantity of money we have.

Money is not enough. One should be worth of partnering with - well-connected, or even better - a market maker.

Basically, what companies like YC do is looking at you, and thinking to whom they will sell you - they are evaluating a few exit strategies.

Myelin: The Science of Growing Talent
Note that the original MA reform was never designed to lower system-wide costs; the goal was universality, not cost. The ACA was targeted at universality along with a bunch of experimental cost control reforms. You can't really point at the original MA reforms and say 'see! this proves the ACA cannot lower system-wide costs'.
So basically, operating a company is out, since this action affects the lives of your competitors and harms them.

I think you're on to something here. One suggestion for the 1.1 version: relax Premise 4. A talented developer/designer may not necessarily have good (or any) ideas. I could see myself taking up such an offer if I didn't have to come up with the idea but instead I liked and had a good hunch about a suggested idea by the candidate co-founder.

Yes, but on average it seems not to work that well, which the article tries to show. Apparently the possibility of waiting 2 months for a specialist (in reality I very rarely see such situation) seems to be better than the current system in the US.
They needed to implement GEGL for all image operations, now that this is done, we might actually see "live" effects on layers in future.
I must concede that neither my eyes nor my brain is good at processing visual information. The 48fps effect probably flew right over my head, and I struggled to interpret it the best I could.

I interpreted it to look like washed out, transparent videotape. Contrary to the article, I had a worse impression of outdoor scenes than indoor scenes; the outdoor scenes all looked cheap and cheesy and washed out to me.

Perhaps I was seeing too much. Perhaps the increased realism failed to mask the flaws in the special effects, as though we were back to the primitive CGI days of "Jurassic Park." The various nonhuman creatures all looked like laughable rubber monsters from an old "Dr. Who" episode.

But I recognize this as just one experience with 48fps, and I look forward to trying it again. I had far more trouble with the film's script and editing than I did with the cinematography.
Dig a bit deeper and you'll see that those statistics don't tell you the whole story.

In the US, premature births occur at a much higher rate than other country and account for a large portion of the higher infant mortality rate. Those stats also don't tell you that if you have a premature baby, it's most likely to survive if treated in the US.
If you disable xml or yaml parsing, you'll see the raw yaml come through in the parameters hash.

What you are referring to are elective procedures, and 2 months of waiting time wouldn't kill you. There is no waiting time for emergencies in Canada or Europe.

Yes if you throw alot of money, you get state of art facilities and top doctors, but are you getting the return on investment if the healthcare system is lagging behind the "welfare states".
So is murder. But 75 or 100 years ago, men were commonly murdered for sleeping with another man's wife. Sometimes the killer went to jail. Other times a smart lawyer could get him a lenient sentence. After all, the prevailing morality of the era (arguably still true today) was that you keep your hands off another person's spouse, at risk of life and limb if you don't.
That's a good argument except it depends on:

(a) one person being able to do the job of the entire YC team.

(b) that person having equivalent relationships with additional capital.

(c) one might make the case that the relationships to capital must be better because ventures are likely to be located further from conventional sources of capital.

50% equity is a lot to give up for two months of effort unless the other co-founder is only expected to put in the initial two months. And if that's the case, why bother?
Better to wait than in a lot of cases not have access to it at all.

That correction might make sense for ethnicity. But class?

Defending the USA's health system by saying "well, it has a stark class divide which pre-ordains that a large proportion of its population will get inadequate health care compared to other countries" is only valuable in that it tells us that to improve health outcomes, we've got to break down our class system.
