My dad is a P.T. and he recounts how after the ACA passed in 2008, his fellow therapists saw tons of people from poor communities going to the doctor for the first time in years. His practice was backed up for a while because there were so

Anecdote: my middle school P.E. teacher took her class down to Juárez Mexico for a "school" mission trip. She left the group on the way back so she could stop elsewhere and get her teeth cleaned. She said it was a common sentiment

Now now, OP never implied that Occupy Wall Street was effective. :-) If anything, it points to the stark lack of class consciousness in America that even our biggest protests aren't generally able to create long lasting change. Persona

I think you’re getting downvoted so heavily because most of HN dislikes anticompetitive behavior from big players. Having no FOSS solution for RCS is a problem. So is silently breaking the OSS user’s text messages.

You can’t be serious. This package sucks specifically because of the healthcare. Industry standard is to offer 18 months of COBRA, not 6. Job searches frequently take way longer than that. COBRA is a huge deal for departing employees. My si

The severance packages suck. COBRA is the single largest expense for departing employees. Industry standard is to offer 18 months, not 6. Many job searches take longer than 6 months, so employees will be left high and dry right when they ne

This is a bullshit package because of the healthcare. I was laid off from a different company with access to 18 months of COBRA. Dropbox is offering a third of that. Lots of job searches take longer than 6 months, so the employees are going

I’ve been looking for work! But to pass the time, I’m also working on a personal journal that keep S-expressions in a database with a well-defined schema set by the other nodes of the database (imagine tiddlywiki transclusions everywhere!)

The paper studies "... the problem of ordering vertices by their distance from the source vertex." If all you need is shortest path between just one pair of points, this result doesn't necessarily apply.

Stockfish is the classic answer, though I’m not sure how well it’s graded. Someone must have a “Stockfish strength”-to-ELO mapping.

I can understand this perspective. You're looking at it with healthy eyes. But for fat people, the calculus looks different. A decision to take semaglutides is a decision between the long-term negative effects of obesity *now*, or the
