Had a friend at a shared office building a few years ago start feeling ill and sweating profusely.

I kept insisting he get medical attention and he kept saying he was fine, in the end I said either you go get medical attention or I phone an ambulance.

So he goes to a local NHS walk-in center (I'm in the UK) where the first nurse who saw him phone an ambulance, daft macho sod was having a heart attack.

Saw him not long since, he'd gotten back into cycling, looked incredibly well and had dropped 3-4 stone (42-56lbs) having just completed a 300 mile charity ride.

Moral of the story, if you start getting chest pains radiating into your arms, sweating profusely get your ass to the hospital ASAP or phone an ambulance, early intervention greatly improves the outcome.
Quite charming, I think.

> Measured health outcomes did not go up, only self reported health did. Further, the increase in self reported health was present even before people had a chance to go to the doctor.

That's BS, that report only presents no change in points on some physical health metrics which are dependent on lifestyle and not medical attention anyways.

It's clearly disingenuous to claim that the housing situation today is represented by a report concluded before the crisis where everyone lost their homes and/or jobs.

I'd save murder for something more valuable. Changing your load time from 10s to 9.5s is hardly a noticeable improvement. I've optimized many a web page and extra whitespace in HTML has never once been the bottleneck. It's bandied about because it is a magic button that takes no analysis or hard decisions to implement, not that it is effective.
As soon as price enters the equation, you're not going to maximize your life expectancy. This is math.

Right, but how can you be sure? Doctors are clearly overly precautions because they don't want true negatives. In some cases (e.g. if you need to support kids) it may be reasonable to risk that.

Weird. I was polite, didn't insult the poster I replied to above and provided sources of evidence and my suppositions based upon said evidence.

Instead of simply downvoting me and nothing more, I would've expected other posters here to challenge my sources of evidence here at Hacker News.

Frankly, I thought most of Hackers News was better than this. I hope I'm proven right about Hacker News over time and some start backing up their downvotes with some of their own sources of evidence, etc. that disputes my own instead of simply downvoting a post they don't agree with.

> If you feel that forcing more people to poop in the field in order to reduce feelings of envy among wealthy Americans is a good thing,

wealthy Americans aren't the ones facing relative deprivation (which is why the reference upthread was to "poor Americans"), nor is it a problem only in America -- inequality (with a strong and persistent ethnic basis to the inequality) is something that neoliberal international trade regimes promote on both the more developed and less developed sides of trade arrangements.

> Removing it would mean "we're free to do evil now"

It's a subtle distinction, but the motto is "don't be evil", not "don't do evil." The former allows you to do evil things in service to noble purposes. For example, "don't do evil" would have required the company to shut down services rather than sharing information with the NSA. "Don't be evil" allowed them to balance that evil action against the good created by those services to realize a net-positive societal benefit from offering those services.

I have an ultrasound that we bought on eBay when my wife was pregnant.

The reason more individuals don't own them is that it's illegal! No company that makes ultrasound machines will sell them to a non-doctor, because of some kind of regulations. I believe they don't want people to think they can diagnose themselves when it actually takes a doctor. Whatever the reason, that's why more people don't own sub-$10k ultrasound machines, and omitting that fact to make the story one purely about the march of technological progress is poor journalism.
Because they still have lots of "partners" that give them lots of money that develop VB.NET line-of-business (LOB) applications.

One of the reasons I created my website http://meetandplay.com/ as after high school I stopped being active, gained 60 pounds programming and playing video games. As an adult you have to be really proactive to find sports to play they don't just fall in your lap anymore. meetup.com is also a good resource for healthy people doing healthy stuff like hiking, biking, climbing which I've used as well. My site is more for pick up games and locations to play. :)

NAR Video Discusses Implementing Office Safety Measures
I had use VC and VB a long time (15+ years) ago and have since moved to Linux + gcc, python, golang, mobile etc.

After watching this video for 20 minutes of all the fancy GUI details, I have couple of higher level questions:

1) Do C#/VB still only build for Windows, Win Mobile?
Can they build targets for IOS, Android, Linux?
I heard the new CEO of MSFT suppose to be more supportive of cross platforms.

2) I began to like the concurrency model in golang a lot.
Does the C#, VB support that kind of concurrency in their language design?

Is this some kind of parody or something?
I want to write a really sarcastic comment, but that won't really achieve anything. I suspect that either I really don't get something, or that you really don't get something but I can't tell which.

You said "That's actually an argument for basic income" in response to my statement "if everyone stops working and starts taking basic income" which I don't understand. I thought I laid out a fairly clear argument that if everyone stopped working everything falls apart.

To me, the logical next events are that with not enough taxes the government either prints money or defaults on its debt. That leads to either to massive inflation (undermining the value of basic income and perhaps resulting in civil unrest like in the Arab Spring when food prices got too high) or in the case of default, quite possibly the government ceasing to exist.

So how does everyone taking the basic income solve a problem? Is the goal to get rid of the government? I can't take that seriously because if people are serious about a basic income, then it stands to reason that they want it to continue, and if the government fails, so does the basic income which it provides.

I'm not saying US-style capitalism is great and perfect; it's clearly flawed in huge, huge ways. But that doesn't somehow make the flaws of a basic income system non-existent does it?
What You Need to Know About React
It's not equivalent. The getter-only auto-property will not have any setter at all. Previously, it had to have at least a private setter, which means that you couldn't strictly guarantee that it wasn't being updated. I used to write read-only properties the long way just to guarantee that they were actually read-only.
'To avoid an extra command use "tee" to output to file while viewing it (i.e. it's "less" and ">" functionality combined).'

That's undesirable. First, because you should be making the decision about whether to run the script after you look at it, and if it's already running while you read it then it's probably too late. Second, because you should not be echoing possibly-malicious characters to the terminal - view with less or an editor, tee works like cat here.

C# is neat and I used it as my primary language for a good 6 years from 1999 to 2005, and then a little bit since they -- maintaining legacy projects. But a platform specific language it isn't the future in my opinion, it is just too limiting. Python, JavaScript and other types of cross platform languages, even if slower and sometimes more annoying to debug, is where the money and the future is.

Right. I'm "scaremongering" by explaining the situation faced by many middle class families in the US on a forum for programmers, and I'm personally contributing to more deaths, not the poor healthcare system. Okay.

While it's true you may not lose your house (which I clearly articulated in my previous comment), there's more to life than a house. If you can't drive to work because you no longer have a car, then that's a huge problem. If you're putting your children through school, then suddenly you're jeopardizing their life by seeking to preserve your own unless the doctors know quickly and precisely what's wrong with you.

Actually we ALL pay for their treatment. In Florida, if you have no insurance you are taken to the closest public hospital (county hospital). They treat you (barely - don't expect a private room). If you can't afford to deal with the bill, the county pays. And then we all pay via taxes.

It's a serious problem.
Who provides a better standard library? I am a C# developer and have not that much exposure to other standard libraries, but from what I used, .NET is by far my favorite one.
This seems to reinforce the mindset that the web should be experienced and built using different tools for users vs. developers, and aside from thinking that's fundamentally condescending, I don't see why new tools couldn't simply be extended from FF's 'web developer' menu into a different mode of operation or even extensions.

I think we're better off in a world where kids don't have to install ScaryFox on their tablets to start teaching themselves how to debug web applications, and deal with all of the various forms of other-ing that tend to alienate people away from starting to learn how to understand and help build the web.

I think it's actually quite important for Mozilla to assume that of course every user deserves built-in access to a high-quality suite of tools for debugging by default.
You've put words in my mouth and then battered a straw man; if something is "staggering" it is quite serious/severe.

My mother was a nurse for 20 years. She was extremely good at her job and worked in the ICU unit of Vanderbilt Hospital. One day she had a severe headache at home and once it subsided she sent me an email detailing five possible causes. Every item on the list was trivial except the fifth item which said "small aneurysm bleed". I, along with the rest of the family, asked her to go to the hospital but she refused because she did not want to burden the family with a $5,000+ CAT scan and hefty doctor expenses over what she insisted was a just an overreaction to a bad migraine. I assumed, because she was such a good nurse, that she knew best. I ended up moving near her soon after and had the privilege of spending many days with her and my brothers as a family until I received a phone call one night telling me she was rushed to the hospital. When I arrived at the hospital a clerk attempted to block my way to fill out insurance paperwork, I rushed by her and headed to the ICU. When I arrived to the ICU I was told the aneurysm had applied too much pressure to her brain, the doctor said there was no chance of recovery. Even in death she still helped others, her organs saved two other individuals that day. In my home upon my desk I have a photo of my mother and I, a print out of her email, an award she received for being one of the first volunteer nurses to arrive in Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina, and a big pile of bills (ambulance ride, doctor examination, bed and care costs, etc).

Yes, I would agree, most people do not go to the hospital in the USA unless they are 100% positive it is required. This prevents many early visits to the doctor. People will often wait until the very last moment to get help.

You are wrong. I have actually had a doctor check something and then ask which health insurance I had before recomending a follow up examination (which actually revealed something serious).

If I had had lesser insurance and he had left me with a "it's probably fine", I might indeed be dead now as with the op.

I don't know what you mean by "serious mental illness" or "way of life". You seem to be describing negative feelings, specifically a longing aroused by qualities someone else has. That's envy, according to the standard definition.

If you'd rather use the a different term to avoid inspiring negative feelings about me, feel free to suggest one. For the remainder of this post I'll use the term "Mind State X" to describe an unpleasant mental state resulting from the observation that other people possess qualities that you wish you had.

If we cannot change how humans react to inequality: we get jealous, get sick, turn criminal or exhibit other negative traits. Then we should instead change our society to address the real issue: the inequality itself, and not just it's perception. Now doing that would be a whole other barrel of fish obviously.

I'm confused. Is inequality intrinsically bad? If so, then Mind State X is irrelevant, and you should be able to make that argument without it. If Mind State X is the thing that is bad, then inequality is irrelevant if it does not cause Mind State X.

Lets also generalize this discussion of Mind State X. Many non-money related things cause Mind State X - I'm tall and good looking, some people are short and ugly. I have sex with many women, some people are involuntarily celibate. I'm somewhat skinny, other people are far more muscular than me. These things can also cause Mind State X.

For example, a woman I used to sleep with is now sleeping with someone who is much stronger and more muscular than me. I feel Mind State X as a result. I believe the solution is that she shouldn't inform me of this. You believe the solution would be for her to be prevented from doing this, I take it?

On to practical matters: Everything around them lets them know they're at the lowest rung of a very large ladder to the socio-economic top.
