Yes, I love the sound they make and there is something very cool about controlling an analog display with software. I would love to make one, but this seems beyond my DIY skillset. I wish you could buy them for a reasonable price, but I couldn't find anything less than 3K (Vestaboard).
I live in Cincinnati. I don't think gentrification is responsible for the opioid epidemic. I would blame the increase in the supply of opioids and structural changes to the economy. Plenty of places without gentrification (rural Indiana) are being hit even harder.
I'd also disagree that moving back would exacerbate the problem. A higher tax base would help the city to better combat the problem. You could also donate to non-profits or volunteer.
Very cool. I am currently learning Chinese and have found it hard to find movie/tv shows that include the pinyin subtitles. This is so much better with the color coding, formatting and dual translations. Thanks for putting in all the work and sharing.
I'm also learning Mandarin and was wondering if this was possible (for a different show) just the other week! Thanks for the article, will be looking forward to Part 2 and 3. Also, is there an easy way to extract all the frames with unique subtitles?
I checked and it appears there isn't really a loophole. Direct primary care providers are able to combine their offering with insurance and offer it on the ACA exchange, but they are subject to the same requirements of any other insurer. And none seem to be doing this yet:
"H.R. 3590 recognizes DPC and allows DPC Medical Homes to offer coverage in health insurance exchanges in combination with a wraparound insurance policy provided by a qualified health plan (QHP). Working together, the two must satisfy all other essential health benefits requirements under H.R.3590. DPC practices provide all primary care in a monthly fee arrangement. The QHP is used for hospitalization, specialty care and other more costly services. The first DPC offering paired with a QHP in the healthcare marketplace went live in the Washington state exchange in January 2015. There are no DPC practices operating in the federally facilitated exchanges yet."
>The Baumol Effect, in case you didn't know, is the tendency of wage increases that come from increases in productivity to "spill over" into jobs where there have been no productivity increases. In other words, it's trickle-down economics under a fancier name.
Mr. Garret gets the definition of the Baumol Effect more or less right, but then mislabels it as trickle down economics and proceeds to attack that. Here is an example of the Baumol Effect:
As improving technology makes computer scientists more productive they will receive higher salaries in the business world. Meanwhile, computer scientist teachers in academia may not see similar productive gains (they still can only teach X number of students a semester). Nonetheless, universities must increase computer scientist teacher pay to prevent them from leaving academia for the business world.
In the context of PG's essay, he is saying that high pay for entrepreneurs forces companies to pay competitive salaries:
>anyone who could get rich by creating wealth on their own account will have to be paid enough to prevent them from doing it.
If Mr. Garret, or others, disagree with this assertion they should attack it directly. Personally, the logic and direct incentives at work seem self evident to me.
There was a recent Planet Money episode about a company that will shop around for medical care for you and give you a cut of the money that the insurance company saves:
The annual deductible in this study is $3,750. So, as long as a patient hasn't spent over $3,750, they have the incentive to reduce costs. You are correct, after a patient hits their deductible they have no incentive to reduce costs.
Thanks for the comment. .form-horizontal is currently possible via Settings -> Label Orientation -> Horizontal. I can see how you missed it. It's a challenge to try to make the UI intuitive. I do still need to add .form-inline at some point.
Thanks for the feedback. Will look into the font chooser. EDIT: Font chooser should be working now.
Yes, to have us process the form you need to POST to our server and add the formden.js to the page. The JavaScript is there to repopulate the form and show validation errors if the POST is rejected.
I created this tool to make it easy to create Bootstrap Form HTML. Drag and drop form fields, preview the results, or copy the HTML code. It is built using Django and crispy forms. The forms you create can (but don't have to) be processed using my start-up's form processing service (in free beta).
Thanks for your feedback! The forms were built to be mobile-friendly and the iframe should resize to the page width. Something's going wrong at http://contactmetrics.com/contact/ I'll look into it!
Just moved into public beta and would love to get some feedback from HN. I built the product because I kept getting customer support requests (for another product) that were super vague. This tool tells me what pages the customer visited before contacting me so I have some context for their message. I also added form A/B testing and message sentiment analysis to help with site optimization and SEO.
Actually, a monopoly should remove problems like these. If Amazon is the only firm, it will bear all the costs if fewer good books come out in the future. Therefore, it has an incentive to create an ecosystem that maximizes it's long term profit.
For example, think about fishing. If there are lots of fishing boats they will tend to overfish. They can't leave fish in the ocean to reproduce because other boats will catch them. If there is just one boat (or all boats are owned by the same company) it will take out the optimal number of fish so that the fishery remains healthy and pays the highest dividends in the future.
I believe patio11's point is that the opportunity cost of a domain name is the same regardless of which currency you use to buy it. If you use Bitcoins, you have less Bitcoins. If you use dollars, you have less dollars to convert into Bitcoins if you think they will appreciate. Your net position in Bitcoins need not be affected by your choice of currency for this particular transaction.
A typical (sealed-bid) auction has the exact same problem. I value the business at X, but know that I can bid less than X, probably still win, and keep more surplus.
To give bidders the incentive to bid their true value, you need a Vickrey auction where the winner only has to pay the next highest bid. But, this is suboptimal if there isn't a lot of liquidity. Also, you won't have the credibility to do this if you are auctioning off your own business (you have an incentive to lie about the next highest bid).
