I just copied the first paragraph from the Wikipedia article, which happpened to be about life expectancy which is often seen as a proxy for quality of healthcare. Fair or not.

Here are some other excerpts from the article:

- The United States is among the few industrialized nations in the world that does not guarantee access to health care for its population.

- lack of health insurance causes roughly 48,000 unnecessary deaths every year in the United States

- In 2007, 62.1% of filers for bankruptcies claimed high medical expenses.

- A 2013 study found that about 25% of all senior citizens declare bankruptcy due to medical expenses, and 43% are forced to mortgage or sell their primary residence.

These quotes are just from the first paragraph of the article... There are many more if you read it through.

For an outside observer it's blatantly obvious that you have a broken system, and it's inexlicable why you keep defending it.

the only thing worth voting for would be a recommendation engine based on previous upvotes. i come on HN to explore articles, i'm not looking for specific keywords usually. but, my past voting history shows what type of articles i find interesting and getting notifications based on those would be nice. pricing would be a major factor as well, since HN works perfectly fine without a watcher.
There are two things I need when it comes to regex:

1. The ability to escape a string when searching using vi:

2. Lots of regex examples with a description of how they work.

That isn't what I read at all. The cgroups maintainer wants a flat cgroups list so that the code is easier to maintain, but Lennart said he must have hierarchical tree so that systemd can take full control over at least a part of the tree. That's hardly "being built with the idea that systemd will manage it".

On the other hand, I didn't know anything about forensic linguistics until reading the article. This is exactly the sort of curiosity and follow-through that I want to see in a journalist.
A few weeks back cubeworldforum.org was hacked (the forum referenced in that blog post) due to an administrator having their password compromised. The hacker replaced the index with a page with music and what not. From @Sputn1k on twitter it looks like he's the guy that hacked cubeworldforum.org too[1], so the wedtm.com link that @rootinabox went to is probably him just copying HTML he used last time and forgetting to correct the href.

And also timing effects. To take the previously-mentioned iodine effect - while administering iodine in childhood or later will eliminate goiters due to iodine deficiency, as far as anyone can tell, post-natal iodine does little to nothing about the retardation or intelligence decreases caused by iodine deficiency, and even in pregnancy, the effect of supplementation seems to start decreasing from conception.

You've read wrong, unfortunately. http://lwn.net/Articles/557082/ describes that:

> Unprivileged access to the cgroup hierarchy will be strongly discouraged; the hope is to have a single, privileged process handling all of the cgroup management tasks. That process will, in turn, provide some sort of higher-level interface to the rest of the system.

and that:

> This hierarchy becomes private property of systemd. systemd will set it up. Systemd will maintain it. Systemd will rearrange it. Other software that wants to make use of cgroups can do so only through systemd's APIs.

That is, systemd will implement a manager on top of the new cgroups API, and all cgroups users will be assumed to go through systemd.

> I once gave an uncle some Vitamin D3 with some magnesium citrate. He got better sleep.

Assuming anything meaningful happened there, that was almost certainly the magnesium. Magnesium is linked with sleep improvements (actually, literally today a Google Alerts told me about such an experiment: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3703169/ ).

(Vitamin D, on the other hand, probably not so much since it sounds like you gave it to him in the evening, where, at least for me, vitamin D screws up my sleep http://www.gwern.net/Zeo#vitamin-d-at-night-hurts .)
Correct. They couldn't take it away, but (like Nissan Motors tried) they could make it financially difficult for you to keep it.

Now, if Mr. Nissan started doing something like setting up a car forum and reviews on his site, he would get into very dangerous territory.

Right now (at least for me) nissan.com has an advertisement for an insurance agency that sells car insurance. I would say that is about as close as Mr. Nissan can come to blurring the line to car.
That's again a myth. There is no dbus dependency. You can use dbus to do activation but you don't have to. Now, there is a dependency on libdbus which just means systemd is using the dbus serialisation format for its ipc (which, I repeat, don't have to happen over dbus).

Hey HN,

I'm curious to know if the company you own or work for does employee testing?

Awesome...I can't remember the last time I've visited this site...but I can't remember a resource on CSS that I ever read before this one...

Even though it's "just CSS"...I think CSS Zen Garden, and other sites like it, were absolutely critical to my web development career. Not because I specialized in web design, but because it demonstrated that CSS was cool...and not just some other syntax to learn (which, when you're new to web development, can be quite intimidating).

Zen Garden inspired me to learn CSS...and it wasn't the CSS itself that was important, but the concept that CSS is based on: separation of presentation and content...something that is very hard to grok until you just do it...Zen Garden's fantastic demos encouraged me to try it out, even if I could never match the site's artistry.

And if I had never gotten the concept of separation down...I don't think I would be a web developer today. I think the maintenance of even a simple personal website built on inline HTML would've driven me to quit web development long ago...

That said, in my career (which admittedly hasn't been focused on design), I've never been in a situation where a client has wanted to redesign the site and to do so was just a task of rewriting the CSS sheets, no matter how well-written the HTML templates were. Redesigns almost always go hand-in-hand with addition of new features, technology, and content...the architectural ideal that CSS Zen Garden strives for is a great one, but it doesn't seem to occur often in professional work.
It took me an afternoon of reading the docs on Wikipedia and Zytrax to grasp the basics of both zone files and BIND config files, and another hour or three with the tunnelbroker.net "certification" tests to grasp stuff like glue records. That's... not a long time to invest for such a useful thing.

Also, the only punctuation I see in a zone file is for comments, $KEYWORDS, the SOA record, and "@" to indicate that a record is meant to apply the $ORIGIN. Did I miss something?

If you don't like "A", "CNAME", and "TTL", let me propose a preprocessor that lets you do the following:

host1.example.com update-3600-secs ip4 1.1.1.1
host1.example.com update-12-hours ip6 2001::1
host2.example.com update-24-hours alias host1.example.com
host1.example.com update-1-week physical-location 52 22 23.000 N 4 53 32.000 E -2.00m 0.00m 10000m 10m

This format retains the greppability of the existing zone file format as well as its drive-by appendability, while allowing one to ease one's way into the actual zone file syntax that's being used by your DNS server.
I would guess that there's a much greater difference between the military and civilian cultures for the US than for South Korea, simply because the SK military conscripts all able-bodied males.
Yes, of course. But then I am talking more about the whole life, not only in the case of emergency etc.. I mean for someone like me, from what I have read about American healthcare and education system, I will choose Europe any day over America. And even though, I really don't have that choice with my passport. But in the case of US citizens, the choice seems realtively easy.

you take those vitamins because someone, somewhere at some time was pushing them as an amazing cure.

I would like to see his response to this article by Phillip Greenspun that argues that the real reason why American airlines have a better track record than Korean ones is that American pilots have roughly 30 times more hours in the air by the time they become a pilot at a major airline: http://philip.greenspun.com/flying/foreign-airline-safety .

It sounds like Malcolm Gladwell's publisher never bothered to fact check the piece with an actual airline pilot before publishing.

I am personally not a huge fan of streaming, I'd prefer to just pay a decent price per movie (not $30 like Blurays) and get a nice HD file with no DRM, no ads, and freedom to do whatever I want with the file (like iTunes music I guess? Though I don't even want to use that service... I prefer to just find songs on Youtube now... convenience I guess).

Convenience really is my big issue; Steam has proven it's true for others too. It's much quicker to get a movie via tpb or where ever, than to go hunting around the few remaining video stores or try to find any legit place online (especially if it's a foreign film or an obscure 70's one).

The other annoying thing is Youtube take-downs. There have been so many times where I wanted to show a clip of some show/movie to a friend and then couldn't find it on Youtube anymore :(.

"Why did I fail to interview a Korean pilot? If you had bothered to ask me before your published your article, I could have answered that question for you. I researched that chapter over the course of many months. I spoke to numerous pilots, Korean and otherwise. I interviewed crash investigators and human factors experts I interviewed the pilots who ran the Korean Air training program. I read internal Korean Air memorandum, the audit by Delta Airlines, as well as every relevant NTSB document related to crashes involving cultural deference. The only thing I did not do was interview current Korean Air management. They repeatedly declined my requests for interviews. "

Without turning this into a debate about particular bits of magic, my general conclusion from using Rails (especially when projects are in maintenance mode) is that it frequently makes it overly complicated to do things differently than how the framework wants you to, making you resort to monkey patching and other magical strategies of your own.

It's wonderful for prototyping but I'm becoming increasingly wary of it for production systems that are going to have a long life (at which point the whole perf/scaling thing comes into play too).

Which is all a very roundabout way of saying "use the right tool for the right job," I suppose.

> I don't see anyone enforcing anything.

I was talking specifically about those who used clothing with that intent, not people who just go with what's fashionable and don't care much to or forth.

I guess then that is what they like?

> Your comments imply that it's bad.

It does? I think enforcing gender roles is a generally a silly pursuit, since I believe more in nature than nurture (though as I've said it isn't always even the goal), and because I think that it can easily lead to a majority ("straight" gendered) suppressing a minority. When it comes to clothing, it's more of an interesting socio-historical thing to me, since I don't think it matters much one way or the other.

> I come from a family with adopted siblings. My siblings are very similar to their biological parents, who were unknown to them (and all of us) until they were 20+. Let me put it another way... They don't just share similar genes in their "appearance". From where I sit, nurture plays very little in shaping a person in a benevolent environment. I have decades of case study around me to support that view.

Ok. Hmm. Is this the part where I'm supposed to violently disagree with you?

Two differences, fwiw:

1. Boys more often had square collars. For example, if you look at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:The_children_of_Charl..., the girl on the left has a rounded collar, while the boy 2nd-from-left has a squared-off collar.

2. Boys sometimes wore bands (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bands_(neckwear) ). Due to their frequent use of lace they often are perceived as feminine today, but were perceived as masculine at the time. You can sort of see that on Roosevelt in the linked article. Some clearer examples are visible in the Wikipedia gallery of unbreeched boys: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breeching_(boys)#Gallery

I'm interested to see the experimental evidence that you have to back up that statement. If you read my comment, you will see that I comment on taking simultaneous vaccines. For many vaccines, antigens for eliciting an antibody response to several diseases are combined into one formulation.

10,000 is probably 2-3 orders of magnitude greater than the number of different vaccines available on any market, so attacking or defending that number has no utility. And commenting as if that were my point detracts from the conversation.

"Malcolm Gladwell began as a college right-wing Reagan supporter, was trained by the tobacco-funded far-right National Journalism Center, and throughout his career has inserted pro-tobacco, pro-banking industry and pro-PHARMA messages into his books and articles. Gladwell can earn $1 million a year as a paid corporate speaker, sometimes from the very same corporations and industry groups he happens to promote and defend in print."
The burden of proof in this case lies with anyone making the "10,000" claim the first place. You don't get to make wild and outlandish statements and expect them to be taken at face value until specifically debunked.

That gender discussion is so weird. It seems people who are concerned about being forced into a role because of their gender go to great lengths and mental acrobatics to define some kind of new genders. So they struggle and struggle to actually define new roles they can be confined to.

Wouldn't it be easier to simply not worry about gender at all and simply use your sex in any way you please?
