Depressing that you wouldn't even bother to take the time to actually read and see what is going on here. If the only thing you can focus on Disney World and Casa Bonita then it is obvious where your priorities towards humanity lie. And the fact that you bring up South Park in relation to Casa Bonita tells me even more about your lack of passion when it comes to your fellow man. I can only hope that you'll find someone who changes your perspective and you find your heart before it withers and dies.

With regards to funeral costs, have you even looked at what these cost now? It's obvious to me that you haven't or you wouldn't have bothered to mention a county funeral.

With regards to importance, I'm no one. I'm not worthy of the attention this has gotten, but I am human. And that's the point. This is about being human and caring about fellow humans, period. There are people who deserve this far more than I but that doesn't change the fact that someone felt this was worthy of attention and to that person, I say thank you.

Thank you for seeing that this isn't about me, it's not about a pricey funeral, it's not about trips. It's about providing for my family as best as I can given the circumstances. It's about giving them peace of mind when they have lost something important.

May you find your heart before experiencing the loss of a loved one. May you realize that this has nothing to do with frivolous capitalism and everything to do with being human and doing everything you can to provide your family even after you're gone.
One can just wait - dictatorial approach always becomes clear, as the people's life suffer, but it takes time to distinguish propaganda from reality.

The hope is this time it wouldn't take that long. However there should be reasons to change the society faster - and that requires efforts.
Yeh, I was sort of trying not to give away too many plot devices whilst covering the general concept. Hence no mention of the event on the 2nd or 3rd day, the recurring characters/linked stories, etc. As you point out, it's in some ways a bit of a (very compelling) one trick pony, so experiencing those naturally was a really important aspect of the game's impact to me.
Mainstream is debatable, yes, but the quote used the word consumer, which Sun definitely wasn't.
I can get to all four corners of my 27" monitor with my Apple trackpad, because the track speed varies with velocity. Flicking my finger 1" on the track surface moves the mouse a lot farther than slowly moving the same finger the same 1".

Track pads also allow gestures which greatly speed up app navigation and multitasking.

Most importantly, all my wrist problems went away when I got a trackpad because it's a more relaxed position for my hand, it requires little effort to use, and it works the extension muscles of my fingers.
I do not mean to be difficult but what does this mean:

What are "ideas grounded in science" that do not have some body of research/experimental-validation? Am I reading it too literally?

kerberos is very good. everyone reinvents kerberos every month. it doesn't have to be new to be "modern". Kerberos is still modern by today's standards, in fact.

the problem is having tools that communicate with each others and an easy setup.

yeah, SAML kinda sucks to use too.. and works like kerberos anyway.
OpenID, Hawk, etc - also in fact work exactly the same.

regarding OSM can't use content from Wikipedia... that has nothing to do with share-alike.

the reason is that stuff like coordinates in wikipedia are widely derived from Google Maps or Google Earth. OSM community is concerned that is a violation of database rights or license. Is Google Maps open data? from Wikipedia perspective, coordinates are just facts and not-copyrightable and the US does not have database rights, so it's ok; OSM is based in europe where there are database rights and the community is concerned for other reasons, also and reluctant to accept such Wikipedia-derived contents into OSM.
Ya, I basically need to use my Magic Mouse while my MBP is plugged into an external monitor and I'm not using the trackpad.

With regards to making it to Florida, I don't that this would ever happen even if someone stepped up and covered the cost of the entire trip. With my current health, every day is an unknown. When I got up this morning, I had no idea that I'd end up in the ER yet again nor that I'd be so exhausted I'd come home and sleep for several hours. This has become my unfortunate reality. Even if it was an all expenses paid trip it would likely kill me before it was over and it is for this reason that I consider this to be near the bottom of the bucket list. It's more for my kids than it is for me and it's meant to provide them with happy memories that will hopefully sustain them through my death. That said, if we make it to Florida I will at a minimum be in touch just to say thank you.
Actually, soft force could be quite powerful. There is somewhat relevant Iran example.

I think the West has plenty of opportunities here. On the other hand, those won't come free - and I understand the hesitation. Yet again, to some - smaller - extent we have a situation, which is similar to what happened already about 80 years ago in Europe.
no idea how to get notifications for responses to my comments, sorry.

No, I am mostly implying that the name alone is a risk. If you've ever brought up a box on the net, you know that the first account that's attacked is root. While the above moon/andromeda analogy is apt, some types of vulns could also leave you open as well with a known username to login with. Better to block those outright.

Plus, there's no reason to log in as root anyway as a simple matter of best practices; it's against virtually every security standard; no auditing of privileged access and hopefully no root account sharing!

heavy opinion: logging into a remote machine as root on modern Linux/UNIX is just laziness.
The increasing inequality in access to care is something that concerns me greatly because I see it all the time (I work for a free clinic that supports local residents without insurance) and I fear that it contributes to growing frustration and distrust of the American healthcare system. It is this very frustration that fuels desperate solutions like CoinMD, sketchily marketed natural remedies and insurance supplements, political bickering over healthcare.gov and the ACA, medical tourism, semi-legal internet stores for prescription drugs, ... it goes on and on.

As a commenter below put it so well, all of these responses are "a symptom of how we think about these kinds of problems being badly broken..."

Furthermore, I disagree that something is necessarily better than nothing. Wrong or incomplete advice can be much worse than no advice. Telling somebody it sounds like they have the common cold while missing out on the possibility of tuberculosis because the doc can't do a chest XRay, a PPD (skin test), run cultures, or listen to the lungs, is downright dangerous to that person and the people that they come in contact with. If a doctor then recommends the wrong drug to somebody based on incomplete information, the long term outcome can reduce or end a life.

This is why (1) medicine is already so heavily regulated (2) malpractice is such a prevalent concern among doctors and (3) it would only confuse healthcare consumers to endorse a second tier of medical care where the advice they receive might be "less right" than that of the first tier.

Here are some reasonable parallels to the dilemma you bring up:

- Plenty of people in the US can't afford to buy a car. Is it surely better to let them all buy cheaper used cars from foreign countries with crappy brakes, no seatbelts and no airbags?

- Plenty of people can't afford to buy meat as often as they'd like. Is it surely better to let them buy cheaper meat from unknown sources which hasn't been USDA approved?
always disable password logins -- but that has nothing to do with disabling root login as well.
Not sure about that, though that's definitely part of what makes it harder and transactions tend to take longer to process. Ironically, it seems I already have a US account from years ago and never noticed. And I signed up for it online, though I had previously visited a Canadian branch. Apparently at least part of it is the routing numbers attached to the account. http://f.redflagdeals.com/showthread.php?t=1327886&mobile_ty...
I'd be happy to have prime for shipping only. I don't care for any other service. It's not like if prime videos were any good. They're not.

Also here's the problems with prime shipping:

- 2 days shipping is often 4 days (maybe 30% of the time or more)

- price on prime item is HIGHER than the same item non-prime. The main diff is that the non-prime takes generally 6 days + (which means more than a full week since those are business days), but the price is about the same (except you paid $79 - now $99 more for Prime on top)

So basically what i get with prime is slightly faster shipping for approx the same price as normal. I'm not planning on renewing. In fact I already cancelled auto-renew.

Not related to prime but it also often happen that other online shops have lower prices than Amazon, making your prime a little more useless ;-)

I doubt many. Netflix has to continue to sign distribution agreements and develop new content like House of Cards in order to stay in business. Video delivery for Amazon is a small sideline to its main business. Hence, I think both short- and long-term, Netflix provides the best content delivery option. (Note: I have both subscriptions too.)

I was thinking that there is one thing that the game could have done better. Your 'Family' part is very much just a statistic on the score screen. While the game tries to create some bonding with random characters on screen, it would have been great if they author had a side story for the family, so that you have an extra emotional incentive to do better and better at your job.

ACA rates might be a little less but I wouldn't expect they'd be much less. The insurance I have via my employer is far superior than anything I can get from ACA at this time and resetting to an ACA plan would reset deductibles and out of pocket expenses possibly costing me more money in the long run. It's something I will be looking at when the time comes that I have to make that choice. Until then, I am thankful that I still have insurance through my employer which is reasonably priced and has paid out more than $280,000 to keep me alive for the last 2 months. Without it, I would most certainly be dead at this point.

Ask HN: If I work for you for 100 days, will you help me pay for Bloc?
HN,

I've been fortunate enough to receive the diversity scholarship from Bloc.io and am looking to take their Android course. So far, I've been able to take two courses on Thinkful.com (Frontend and Ruby on Rails).

But personally and for my startup, I really want to dive into mobile and Bloc is probably the best way to make that happen.

I'm asking that if I work for you on whatever remote work you need for 100 days - within reason :) - you help me pay the $2000 for Bloc and really I only need help with the first $1000.

How could I help you? Anything from virtual assistant, to data entry, to web development I can do or learn quickly. I'm extremely motivated and you will be able to see that pretty quickly!

that's how i 'speed read' (note: its not voluntary, i just do that naturally):

- i go through paragraphs very fast, condensing the content and getting the keywords in my head. I read and comprehend about 30% of the paragraph

- if it looks interesting my attention will be caught and ill start reading 100% of the words, rather slowly. in fact, i'll probably start from the beginning. Lot of lines, not much content? That will NOT catch my attention.

Of course, that also means i don't read 99% of the blog posts on HN that are more than a page long anyway. These tend to have a very VERY low content to amount of lines ratio.

I think I'll go even further: people get seduced by thinking they can get "smarter" by ingesting more content, and fall into the speed reading trap. Kinda sad.
I wasn't aware anyone actually factored Amazon's streaming service into the valuation of Prime.
Interesting article with a lot of productivity tips. Wonder if this article actually implies that there's some sense in not having the typical CEO tasks assigned to just one person.

I'm assuming that certain tasks make most sense if one person is in control, but in some sense with things like email, I can't help but wonder if you're not better off "parallelizing".

Anyone with experience in breaking down the traditional CEO role into sub-roles assigned to multiple people?
One example i can speak to is analog chip design.

In a more civilized age, an analog hiring manager chose students based on some mysterious Force, mentored them - and they worked in that company for a long time, often on several generations of the same chip.

The scenario today is different. Hiring managers designing a chip product are in a prisoner's dilemma situation - they follow the 'hire from XYZ school' formula precisely because they don't want the risk of a "contrarian hire" to be found useless for the current chip tapeout.

The XYZ universities that have higher 'analog chip design reputation' also offer more immersion: star faculty, elective courses, exposure to tools and labs, sending project chip designs for fab in a foundry shuttle. An XYZ hire - even with lower GPA - can be put to productive use immediately, no learning curve with tools etc. The learning happened in school, talking with other students while doing projects.

Contrast with a student from ABC school that offers only one proforma analog course, has better grades but needs at least a quarter to ramp up. The short-term costs in this field of statistically proving the lack of a long-term correlation may be too high - no matter the quantitative evidence from other fields such as software.
Dang, ah well, thanks for checking.
I'm from Russia. Yes, sure, it is a plan to control the media. Especially when Internet media are so popular. We still have access to all other western medias. It is pretty simple to compare the facts. Of course these happenings are tightly linked to the Ukraine crisis. I could say that western people also do not get the whole picture as national medias cover the crisis in a very biased way. One more time we see that medias are being controlled by someone imposing "national" interests.
I wish I had the strength. As it is, I'm so weak that I can't even get upstairs to my own bed anymore. This is one of the most difficult things that I've had to accept is physical limitations. I've always been able to do physically challenging things that included running, although I'm horrible at it, and moving furniture around when needed. Now? I can barely lift my laptop and we won't even talk about the need to use an electric cart at the store now. It makes me feel weak and feeble despite mentally knowing I'm too young to be this damn old.

And I intend to fight until I have nothing left. I refuse to just give up and die. It's not in my nature.
Please don't speak on behalf of an "average Russian" because "we actually don't give a f..k about them" is simply not true at all.
Lucas Pope kept a Papers, Please development journal from start-to-finish: http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=29750.0 It was fascinating for me to read because:

1. The art and design are almost unchanged from the original Photoshop mock.

2. Pope is wonderfully gracious to the other indie developers who give initial feedback.

3. He engages really well with the influx of new people that appear whenever his (at the time) beta game gets featured on a gaming news site. He has a knack for knowing which suggestions to consider, and explains to fans why the others won't work with the game. It demonstrates a level of maturity, both in personality and in craft, that few other game developers seem to have.

4. In the post-release update, he details the internal tools he built to manage the game's development, especially its day-to-day plot.
What about all the safety features found in larger cars? What about single-vehicle accidents? I don't need to drive a logging truck to feel safe, but I'd much rather drive a new corolla than an 80s model. Solid pillars and increased crumple zones and multiple airbags make a car bulkier, but the safety improvement is much greater than a simple function of weight.
Ergodox[0] provides split keyboard kits. There are some boom-style mounted monitor workstations vaguely in the vein of the NovelQuest Emperor[1] but I have yet to see one at a remotely sane price point.

I also haven't seen the monitor mounts discrete from built-in seating, though it doesn't seem outside of the realm of possibility. One could realistically place a large A-frame styled wooden structure over a La-Z-Boy chair and mount generic monitor arms onto it via clip or screw.

So, the main challenges are just carpentry and cable management.

Also speculative, but Google probably has a set of equipments that don't work well with others.
When you play in the access and transport space, there usually a set of standard that you have to follow, in order for it to work together with others.

If Google owns the entire infrastructure, they can build their own equipments that are a lot simpler/cheaper to build, because they don't have to deal with all the standard-crap that other manufacturers have to deal with.

If they bought TWC, then they need to integrate all those devices, including all of the OSSes that are guarded by bureaucrats.

Love me my ergodox with about a for of separation between the halves. I call it Star Trek position.
I switched to balanced from PayPal because Balanced makes payments dead simple. Their documentation is also super straightforward- it literally took me an hour to figure everything out. Also, they make ACH possible, which saves us a considerable amount of money on processing fees. Also, their JS library ensures your web servers are never touching card numbers, whereas for PayPal your server needs to receive all of the card information in order to make a transaction.

When you compare Balanced to PayPal's unbelievably shitty interface, horrendous documentation, and lackluster customer service, it's a no-brainer to switch.

The only thing that PayPal has that Balanced doesn't is a debit card with 1% cash back, which could potentially shave a significant amount off processing fees. However, PayPal decided that like the rest of their technology, they would make it the most annoying debit card possible by emailing you a receipt every time you make a purchase, and not giving you any way to unsubscribe from receipt emails.

tl;dr: I pay more money to not have to deal with the steaming pile of shit that is PayPal.
