The hip replacement can be covered under another policy like a home warranty. At the same time, without coverage, the prices have to come down. If they don't, all of those expensive doctors are bringing in near $0. Such an economic pos

The article was a little hand-wavey on the details about comfort. But to you hypothetical. Say that instead you tell him (assuming a straight guy), that it's great way to meet women and, oddly enough, get exercise. That might convince

I could be wrong, but isn't the voice search merely a voice-to-text layer across the top of the normal text search? My old BlackBerry had a search feature and voice command. To this day I think it is slightly below the quality of Googl

What if that's where we're at right now? Ignorance is correctible. It's not bad if corrected (they could be part of the lucky 10,000 [1]). Perhaps woman are under a false perspective that the material is boring. With time, an

I had fun asking Google, Siri, and Alexa, "is Jesus God's son?" Siri brings back web searches. Alexa says that she's sorry but she doesn't understand the question (even though the card in the app shows she heard it

Kinda. This is qualitatively different because we are purposely injecting into a plant a poison that is from another source. Can we eat that poison? All I'd like to see with GMO is a label so I can make an informed decision to purchase

Is GMO fear unfounded? We're talking about grafting in genes from other species. We don't know how that might affect safety. We, in the USA, don't require testing for safety. How do we know that such changes is not like biolo

I find that's how HN is in general. There's a Rust contingent. There's a general FP contingent with a Haskell flank. A few years ago there was a Clojure Independency Party that provided things. I'm a member of the Arango

I like that HN is an echo chamber with a multitude of groups yelling at one time. Like binaural beats, something good comes from the synthesis.

I like Clojure, but stopped using it due to not having a good way to define DTOs at a service level (I prefer noisy statically typed languages apparently). Best guess. (-> {} ice (rye :2-fingers) bitters absinthe

Out of curiosity, is XLog better than the app simply logging everything to STD out, then let the invoker worry about the storage?

We need to learn how to use the 4G that we already have. Even if 5G is faster, at least in the US, we'll be bandwidth constrained by the telcos. As a result, we'll just be able to reach our pittance of monthly quota faster (at lea

I don't think that this is due to "fear that the 'wrong people' will benefit". I think the fear is that such programs will sap our will to improve. We fear becoming European. We fear becoming docile wards of the sta

Storage not included. To run an AC in Florida at night you'd burn through a Tesla wall unit in a few hours. You want that AC at night. So you'll need probably 3-5. At $8k per unit, $24k-$40k total. I like solar. I like wind. I lik

No one would get locked up because there is no such thing as morality? There are only ethical systems setup for a certain goal. At least that is true if there is no deity that a) tells us anything, and/or b) that gives a shit about wha

I find it odd that in 2016 we don't have a better way of centralizing that type of logic better. I don't know of a single framework that will generate front end logic from annotations on a class and then run the logic against the

I have/had this issue too. While I'm just exploring go, it looks like $GOPATH can be split into multiple directories. So you could just update it to have a new project. Still weird coming from a Maven/Java perspective, but mo

There's documentaries and other documentations. The one I saw showed a husband and wife fishing out of the sewer near a hotel. They take the gunk, boil it and then fry their street foods. Can't go there.

I think a lot of tech jobs are vocational. I know they don't require a college degree. I have one. I'm good at what I do. I've worked with several people who didn't have one, only a HS diploma, and they were good. This i

What I don't get, even now, is the lack of public works. Digging a ditch and then filling it is dumb. Why not have individuals on welfare work cleaning out the forests in California? Playing a role in sensible land management implement

My concern is what happens if a block of people start to become disenchanted with UBI. Will the State cut their funding? Can the State, as the sole employer, lock the group out of the political discourse? In general I'm not a fan of go

I'm with you entirely. I have no idea how to solve this problem. My cousin's husband is a truck driver. He makes a six figure income running between Indy and Chicago (bang, bang). He's going to retire before they can get rid

Depends on where you are in NY. A cop sued for his guns back after he was wrongfully attacked by the State [1]. When the government takes away a person's pen as well as their right to self-defense, it will be interesting. 1- http:&#x2

Is China really trying? I know they had some initiatives to get Americans with the Trump election. In general, I don't think it's an actual goal for them. They have a large pool of talent. They aren't needing to go outside ye

There are plenty of conversations around that idea here. UBI for example. Some people think that the population in general will retool (some will get left behind). Others point to the horse population in the US that went from some 5 million

I don't openly discourage people from seeking help. I do recommend anonymous groups and paying cash if possible. Try to keep things off the official rosters.
