You need balls to take on Google, Apple and Microsoft tablets, being a small business that started giving away Linux CDs. And actually doing a very decent try at it.
- I'm really sorry to hear about the author's father's passing.

- While it's heart-warming, it is unrealistic to think that a public program can spend infinite amounts of money on citizens who a) have paid "little or no" taxes and b) "throat cancer suffers who quit smoking four years afterwards". The math just doesn't add up.

- The fact that the US has a pseudo market-based healthcare system is what allows drug / device companies to make money on innovations that ultimately save lives in other countries (like the UK) where these drugs / devices may not even break even. If you create a system in the US where it's impossible to make money in healthcare innovation, we'll see far fewer technological developments in healthcare, which will lead to worldwide increases in infant mortality / decreases in life expectancy.

That said, we should have a way in the US to provide basic healthcare for the uninsured. The answer is not, however, a single-payer system.
Yep, and it's a great tool. But I was in a situation where I already have an app with data that hasn't been using Mixpanel. In fact I've got a bunch of apps like that. And I was irritated that there wasn't an easy way to just use that data I already have without having to get into Excel and pivot tables.

I also didn't want to integrate with another API right now and figure out what my "events" are, when those events already exist in my database.
Now thats playing with words. Do you really think the people on the ground in a US hospital are completely distanced and isolated from the costs that accrue once they admit someone without insurance?
With Google Apps itself you can print a list of codes to carry with you. Is that possible with the Open Source/Google Authenticator version?
Just for the record, I'm not saying NHS is worse than American healthcare. I'm just stating that its possible, in a hypothetical system, in which an efficient and fair allocation of resources will bring about end-of-life care scenarios that are less ideal than what the OP describes. And that its also possible that ideal end-of-life care will end up hurting others (through a disproportionate allocation of resources) and doing so in a way that is hard to dramatize (until it's too late).

This is a tension that keeps effective health care reform from moving forward, but it's still a tension that should weigh as heavily in a debate as an emotional appeal.
Yeah, Heroku's original method wasn't all that great, and random routing can give surprisingly decent performance in some workloads. Unfortunately the workload they were/are working with doesn't seem to be one of them.

Happily this class of problems is very well studied, and so there is a ton of research out there on various options. I know it can be daunting to write a program directly from a research paper, but hey that's why they make the big bucks.

Was it an OCZ, by any chance? The exact same thing happened to me. I scrupulously avoided unnecessary wear, disabled swap (though I've been disabling swap for years), mounted /tmp on a RAM disk, and the accurs't thing killed itself stone dead waking from sleep due to a firmware bug.

I also replaced it with a Samsung, as it happens.
As an example of preventive care offered by the NHS. I am registered with a local GP who I hardly ever see (because I don't need to). Two years ago I received an SMS message from them because of my age (over 40) to come in for the NHS Health Check (http://www.nhs.uk/Planners/NHSHealthCheck/Pages/NHSHealthChe...).

The test involved a bunch of basics (weight, exercise, blood pressure, etc.) and two blood tests (for cholesterol and blood sugar level). They will repeat this every five years.

I do not think the NHS is the greatest possible system (in fact, I preferred the French system when I lived there), but by many measures it is good.
The beta testing is all done. The game comes out in two weeks.

Thank you, aw3c2! That makes sense. I will try to play around with styling.
Speaking as someone who's had multiple relatives die at the hands of NHS rationing, I completely disagree.

In a system where you can't sue your healthcare provider for egregious malpractice because they're a governmental body and are thus subject to the same citizen-sues-state rules as law enforcement or any other public service, I fear for the quality of our healthcare.
Ask HN: How Do I Hire a Great Rails Developer?
I haven't had any luck finding RoR developers through my personal network, so I thought I'd open it up to HN for ideas -- I have 2 open positions in the Bay Area (south bay) for front-end focused Ruby on Rails developers. The company recruiting team has the job boards covered, but only 1 candidate worth interviewing has come through that channel so far. There aren't any meetups I can find scheduled in the next few weeks, so I'm running thin on ideas. We are a mid-sized company in the real estate space, but I'm not mentioning the company name because I don't want this to seem like a recruiting pitch (although if you or someone you know might be interested of course drop me a note). So, HN, any ideas?

Not at all. I borrowed a silly amount of money so that when I was learning compilers, I could drop into Alfred Aho's office and ask a question. That's not hand-holding, it's a resource for people who learn better interactively vs just reading a book or watching a video. Does it really say something negative about students if they consult with a TA about something they don't yet understand? There is nothing shameful or wrong about admitting a lack of understanding and seeking an interactive discussion to be able to grasp it. If anything it's one of the more professionally applicable skills college can teach. I'd rather hire someone who experientially understood the value of in-person communication and patient explanation than someone pompous who thinks that people who can't get it on their own the first time are a lost cause.

Attending office hours is a great use of your time at a college, and showing up requires self-discipline and motivation.

Your example is not a good one. Posthaven's landing page only makes sense if you know who's behind the project. You should have stopped when you made the good points about landing page design from a designer's point of view rather than a marketer's and the lack of testing. I still would have disagreed with you but at least you'd have made good points. But using Posthaven as an example of a good landing page makes me wonder if you know what you're talking about (I swear I didn't mean that in the really mean way it sounded).

Posthaven's value proposition comes last - which would be fine if everything before it wasn't so boring and made sense to the casual user. The design is uninspired, derivative, and lazy looking. It may convert among the in-crowd tech scene but as an example of good landing page design it fails both aesthetically and in terms of messaging. "Learn about our pledge"? I don't want to know your pledge until I know what the hell it is that you do.

Just clarifying your point about the system bankrupting people. Lots of folk outside the US are under the impression that once a person has healthcare insurance everything is hunky dory. The truth is, the current system can bankrupt anybody, regardless of insurance.

The biggest problem with coinbase is the lack of transparency. When they raised money through LendingClub, they missed their funding goal - so they just extended their timeframe but did not tell anyone . This is NOT what I expect from someone I need to trust with my money.
I see we do not seem to agree at all here. I respect your opinion but I am forced to say - no, it's not.

If what you say is to be true then there would be other countries which would be the most stupid places on earth(no names here).

They are fine with Korean. They can do almost anything in their own language, so they hardly need to learn English(which is changing now) but not knowing English(or any other language) doesn't at all mean lack of 'knowledge'. Knowledge is not just learning foreign languages or English for that matter.

Why do you think more and more people learning German and Mandarin today? Certainly not because they think they will turn genius(from stupid) but because they will find jobs in those countries and they can use their knowledge/skills with the help the new language in those countries.

Now, I do not see any any German learning Hindi or Korean. Do you?
Tips for transitioning to new Outlook.com
I hear you and I don't want to underestimate or diminish the concerns that private companies have.

That said, the threat vectors for APTs aren't always solely network-based. IIRC, the behavior of the APT that struck RSA was fairly targeted and changed behavior once inside the network. It isn't unreasonable to think that the NSA would want to talk about putting sensors inside a private network where they could detect "successful" penetrations.

Again, we have every right to be wary of letting the (government) camel nose in the tent. I'm just saying that if you don't kinda sorta trust your government to help you fight a serious foreign power with nearly unlimited resources, you might need to reconsider your position. The threat from China is real and ongoing versus the theoretical threat from the US Government.
One of the things about physical vs online higher education that I see as under-discussed is the ambient learning that takes place when you are in physical location with a bunch of curious people learning similar things to you.

I know that I learned so many things in college just because I happened to be sitting around, talking with interesting people before or after class or while working on assignments together. Just living in a dorm with people in that sort of "adult life with training wheels" setting and being able to hang out with totally new people who I might not have sought out on my own was REALLY valuable. There is so much to be learned outside of the classroom at college and online education is going to struggle to emulate those things.

Yes there are all sorts of social places online that can augment this, but there really is something valuable about learning and interacting with people in person. Yes, there are local clubs and hackerspaces and meetups, but there really is something to be said for having all of these things right at your fingertips (almost) all with in close proximity and (almost) all populated and run by your peers. A good college just lowers the barrier of entry for all these things.

Online education is awesome. It gets information to people in a way that was never before possible and that's a great thing. But I think that formal education is only one benefit of a good college experience.

Exactly! But the Surface family has imo 2 problems.

1. Windows applications doesn't run on ARM, so you can't run your desktop software.

2. Microsoft has to differentiate its products, to assign them to different target price groups and to make them distinctive from competitive products. Same goes for Apple and Android tablet makers of course. They accomplish this by limiting what you can do with your tablet. One may not let you open 2 apps aside, another may not let you have multitasking, all in the name of branding and price-features ratio. In the end you get something you have to adjust to, instead of something that adjusts to you.
Yes, i think so. It was so long ago and it was my first programming role!
But the nice thing about a publicly financed health care system is that early interventions become much more likely when people aren't forced to make decisions like "Should I spend my paycheck getting this lump in my breast checked out or should I spend it on groceries for the family."

For what it's worth, my father spent a lot of time in hospitals towards the end of his life, died, and the only consideration made towards payment or insurance was when he was first admitted. I honestly don't even remember the details that well, though I vividly remember a lot of other things about it. I also received reams of "explanation of benefits" papers afterwards in the mail, but we never had to pay a dime.
I'm not sure if the launch event is over but did they mention the price?
"But the reason why it doesn't happen is because of cost"

The most peculiar part of the whole situation is service cost and individual personal wealth is never an issue WRT national military "defense" or police coverage or fire department coverage or admission into a church or the (admittedly failed) K12 education system or EPA enforcement or OSHA enforcement or ... thus the real question is why cost should be a concern almost exclusively for sick care. My point being that you need to convince not merely that cost is an issue, but that cost should only be an issue for healthcare specifically.

That is a big problem with even attempting reform. All viable options build off the existing insurance system, which is terrible.

For me there's a very specific, personal, reason. At the end of 2011 I got randomly unlucky and suffered from pneumonia, a stomach ulcer, and a norovirus all in the space of three months. I was hospitalized for the norovirus. After that I was told by more than one insurance agent that I wouldn't be able to purchase insurance at any price, for about 18 months. Obamacare does at least stop that from happening to people. I'd prefer single-payer, but like I said, it's a step.
Considering the post was all about the content (and the progress from very-designed-to-it-ought-to-be-designed-less on the design front), how can it be about landing page design? The whole post is about the words. Copy is made of words. You write words. Copywriting.

It's interesting that you diss the post because it doesn't have "test data," but then you say that posthaven's landing page is better because of how you "feel."

I've tried Unity on 13.04; Canonical's make a lot of tweaks to the environment and it's much faster and the apps in the dock launch instantly on click.

Of course, I never use full desktop environments anyways; all of them are too big and resource-heavy, and their animations and cool whizzbangery always distracts me and interrupts my workflow. I only use WindowMaker now with GNUStep apps (with the exception of Firefox). It's old-school, but it works.
What I don't understand is why these late-comers continue to try and build their own self-contained ecosystem of apps. Microsoft with all its money still barely has a decent ecosystem and even that has a lot of holes. There's 0 chance that any other is going to be given the time of day. Blackberry hinging on Gingerbread apps is just silly.

Instead they should be betting on the web, completely. Ubuntu, being a traditional Linux distro, has a big library of desktop apps that can be cross-compiled in Emscripten, but instead they split their much smaller resources between several different options.
Indeed. The US private sector and the US federal government EACH spend more per capita on health care than the UK does. And yet we rank behind the UK on virtually every health statistic that they bother to track.

In 1993 Republicans did an interesting analysis. They found that Clinton's health care plan would work, and would be popular. If it passed, they believed that Republicans would be losing national elections for a generation. But they also figured out that if they derailed it, then they could turn fears about it into a potent election issue. They did, and it was. They tried the same thing with Obama's plan. Whether the other half of their prediction comes true is yet to be decided.

For the actual Republican analysis from 1993, see http://delong.typepad.com/egregious_moderation/2009/03/willi....
The unfortunate answer is quite simple: because we don't trust our own government. And with (some) good reason.
one thing that would be cool to see is not just china, but how governments in general engage in hacking attempts for espionage and other purposes.

> Right, but there's no other front line of entry to anywhere else in the hospital.

Yes there is. It's called a "primary care provider", and many of them have their offices right there in the hospital. Though the ones who operate out of separate clinics can often be less expensive, if not more conveniently located.

If you don't already have one, you really should. The emergency department really hates it when people clog up their waiting rooms by going there with non-emergency issues instead of seeing a PCP. And your health insurance (assuming you have it) really hates it when you drive up their costs by going to the ED instead of seeing a PCP. And, if there were any price transparency in the American system, then your fellow citizens would also really hate it when you force the health insurance company to drive up their costs by going to the ED instead of seeing a PCP.
They dont spend a literal infinite amount, but to provide a basic healthcare to every person in the country the math(s) obviously does add up, because the NHS does it.
Whilst PG, Jessica, RTM, Trevor, Harj, Kirsty, Paul, Geoff etc and the other members of the team at Y Combinator are there to help founders, the most important thing that YC have created is their alumni network (YC have invested in 400 companies and ~1500 founders).

The network of YC also appear to be willing to pay it forward (in other words they are often each others first customers/users and they mentor, support and fund each other to success).

So to answer your question, can another Dropbox or AirBnB come out of YC with everything that the original Dropbox got? I believe the answer is Yes.

Yes, it does depend. That said, I think the intersection of the set of people looking to lose weight and the set of medium/long-distance runners is nearly nil...

I think for your typical person, who is typically somewhat overweight, low-carb and ketogenic diets are a good way to go. People tend to eat what they grew up eating, and western cuisine is the product of historical contexts in which grain was cheap and meat/fat was expensive. A lot of typical food is thus based on flavoring-up bland bread with spare amounts of flavorful meat and fat. But that's not really relevant to people these days. You can get a lot of the flavor and filling quality of meat and fat without the extra calories from the carbs.

E.g. most of the calories in a fajita comes from the tortilla. Most people on a diet might cut net calories by eating half a fajita. Now they're just hungry. I'd rather eat an extra-big portion of the filling out of fajita, maybe with some cheese crumbled on top, and cut calories by getting rid of the least flavorful part of the meal. Again, this won't work for everyone, but I think it's a good "go to" default for typical people.
Anyone who gives up a little health liberty for a little health security will obtain neither. Instead they'll get another sprawling centrally-run bureaucracy (in people and rules) managing the health "system" equivalent of "no-child left behind".
