> She also said that the NHS wouldn't recognise a private diagnosis as they have a financial incentive to lean towards positive diagnoses, and so the NHS wouldn't foot the bill for eg any ADHD meds that would ensue from it.

I'm in the UK and this is not my experience so far.

You do need to be careful about private diagnosis and the handoff to NHS for treatment - it's true that it's not guaranteed that a private diagnosis will be accepted by the NHS to pick up treatment, but in my experience it's not the case that they will totally refuse to recognise a private diagnosis as you've been told. That may just be the position of the individual you spoke to, rather than a reflection of what you'd find across the board in the UK.

If you go the private route, it will likely help if the private practitioner is also a registered/practicing NHS doctor. If you're considering this, it may be worth speaking to the practitioner about the process for handover of care to the NHS - which they should be able to clarify for you before you spend any money with them!
I think it's clear given Meta's share price on a whiff of decreaing DAUs that Meta needs the EU more than the EU needs Meta's attention sinks.
I bet that this can be useful in some cases, don't assume that it has to be used to present paragraphs of flowing text, as in the demo. For example MS Excel has this feature for shrinking the font size when you shrink a column, and some users finds it invaluable. This library could help implement this feature in a web based spreadsheet.
Do you have solid instructions on this? I tried this once, and it sorta worked, then didn't. Then I re-registered the Gmail address (separately) and all my Google Groups subscriptions snapped back over and so on.

I'm not dietrichepp, but that's the gist of it. Look into how multiplexers are actually implemented, and it becomes painfully obvious that hardware cannot magically solve your problems.

And the "even if we don't get register speed" already applies today. In a sense, your system does have one large multiplexer to access all of memory. It's called the memory controller. The point is that this is painfully slow and far from register speed, so caches are built on top of it to make it faster. The same applies to disk access.
As soon as the content is over a page long, the "preview" doesn't really work, since what is supposed to be previewed is out of bounds.

I had developed a few years ago a markdown editor with live preview, with a mechanism that synchronized the source and the preview, scroll-wise, so the preview would always display the part that was being edited.

It didn't take off (at all) so I let it go, but I wish there would be a standardized way to do this.

Other than that, great tool! Thanks for sharing.

HalloMarta | Remote or Onsite (Berlin) | Full-time | HalloMarta.de

marta. provides software to connect caregivers with families across Europe. We believe that it is a right to receive proper care and age in dignity. In our own families, we have seen that the current products and services are deeply intransparent and fail to deliver adequate quality.

We decided to eliminate all intermediaries, connecting families directly with independent caregivers whilst providing both sides with software solutions to facilitate a simple and successful caregiving journey. We do so with genuine care for the families that book our services and love for the caregivers that deliver them so diligently. By taking the hassle and uncertainty out of finding adequate care, we enable families to once again enjoy the time with their loved ones.

Right now nobody can discuss politics. Where there was once a chance to influence or change a mind that's impossible now. For that very same reason that's why the source of political knowledge is comedians ONLY.

From the left-wing mass media you have your typical comedians like stephen colbert. In the podcast scene you have folks like Joe rogan. On the right wing you have folks like steven crowder. They are all comedians.

Only comedians are allowed to criticize or discuss politics. Which is only true in the USA. Outside the USA? Hell Canada just to the north actively fines comedians for jokes. RCMP arrest book authors. Canada once had a ton of fantastic comedians but they have basically been forced to leave the country.
South african here.

> Sadly I see this happening quite a lot in South Africa - a country that 25 years ago was filled with much hope and excitement for the future - but now is on the precipice of rapid economic decline due to similar reasons

The politics here is a lot more complicated and these quotes are coming across as quite reductive. That being said I'm a vocal critic of the governments lack of forward thinking despite knowing decades ago that economic shocks and decline were inevitable. The unchecked capital flight since the late 80s is spoken about in hushed tones. The "billonaire" president with the shadiest of pasts. And education ministers hell bent on churning out really dumb black, coloured kids that have no hope of competing on the world stage.

Its micro-politics on the world stage but passionate pain points in the country. And since the global economy is so connected - those with old money certainly have a leg up. It's no excuse to not pull up our own sleeves but to do so you need a shirt with sleeves to begin with.

The point is that if 'last-mile' services were open to competition, then there would (could) be many companies in what you call the 2-100 mile arena. Building an ISP infrastructure is merely difficult and expensive. On the other hand, thanks to municipal involvement, lobbying, time-based monopolies, etc. building last-mile everywhere is basically impossible.

Making it optional isn't "minimizing the damage", it's making a feature available to people who see it as a _positive thing_. This will improve Google's image in the eyes of its users, not harm it.
Irrespective of the legitimacy of this study, it does make a lot of sense. You see a lot of people trying to turn their life around, especially around the new year. Eating healthier foods, doing more exercise, cutting back on alcohol or smoking. You see them a couple of weeks later and the stress levels caused by this amount of change is causing more damage than the unhealthy habits they are trying to break. You see them a month later and they are back to their old habits, and sometimes with a vengeance.

I've always advocated slow change. Choose one thing, and just make sure you are mindful of that. Practice this day to day. Don't say "I'll stick it out for three months and see how I go", just take it day to day. Then, a month down the track, see how that person who hasn't eaten fast food for the last thirty days feels about going to Macca's. Maybe, that person would rather have a home made sandwich, or maybe not, but just wait and see and stop telling yourself stories.

I've experienced living in 2 other countries and IMHO the intent is not as honorable here as you suggest.

Touche - I guess the EU will soon invest a Trillion dollars into their own streetview project, which will unfortunately never go anywhere (what has happened to the EU financed Google killer?).
People still have to buy it though. Apple isn't going to make crappy eReader so I don't see them getting into the game more seriously until the technology is better, and I don't see everyone carrying around a Kindle either. The Kindle has done enormously well so far, but the fact is that the average American buys only 1 book a year and 70% of them don't even read it[1], so I don't really see how it's going to go from a few million sales to a few hundred million sales. Sure Amazon sells an enormous number of books, but that's because almost all books are read by the same 2% of people or whatever. So let's say Amazon does make some move to ensure that it continues to control eBook sales, what exactly would that look like? Almost everyone who reads daily newspapers already owns a kindle or is on track to within the next couple years, and I don't think people who read magazines would replace them with a kindle. And the student market is just an enormous mess that I don't think Amazon is currently prepared to deal with. So what other captive population would they really be able to capture via a subscription subsidy?

Good question. For my part, I'd be interested in Spanish and French equivalents.
The conflation of physical grouping and intellectual cooperation is one of the stupidest, and personally most annoying, that I encounter.

I collaborate just fine, and I did so best with a team dispersed across the country and, to some extent, the world -- some of whom I never met in person. We were professional, cooperative, helpful to each other and to external contacts. Instead of a bunch of "physical interaction", we put are heads down and created. When we needed to interact, we did so readily -- across a spectrum from emails to IM to phone calls. People were, meetings excepted, immediately reachable and responsive.

When we needed to concentrate... we were NOT distracting by 15 different things going on in our peripheral vision and hearing, dragging us down to the attention level of the lowest common denominator. This held AS WELL for our group interactions, where we could focus on each other, and where a grouping did not invite the attention and interruption of outside parties.

That's what I find an indiscriminately open space and "collaborative" workplace to be: A race to the bottom.

(Note that, as a company or organization grows, that's what open space inevitably becomes -- indiscriminate. Even if it works initially for a small, focused group, it doesn't scale.)
"Trigger warning" and "safe space" are two terms that have sensible, specific definitions, but in practice are very frequently used in an informal, overly expansive way that renders them ridiculous.
Any idea if this includes an employee exercising options (paying for them)?
There are also a number of apps for both android and iphone that will give you sha/md5 sums. The downside is you have to carry your phone and have enough batteries.
The main use-case is to ease people into regular exercise, but even though I'm a fairly serious gym-goer myself I find that doing a few reps here and there throughout the day is really helpful to keep my mind refreshed.

What happens in practice (if the testers are anything to go by) is that they start pushing themselves further and further so actually this break time kinda becomes productive in its own right.

Something like that!

> Testing ideas has nothing to do with determining a business model

Your business model includes how you're going to cover the costs of market research. This answer boils down to "we're going to trick people into doing it involuntarily for no compensation, throwing chaff into the marketplace as a negative externality", whether or not they think of it that way. Dry testing is just a step short of fraud, and I for one won't deal with anyone who has ever been caught doing it.

> Mars One was hoping to generate $6 billion from a reality show.

That dollar amount sounds pretty ludicrous. But if you could somehow bootstrap some faith that it was real, I suppose maybe they could generate global viewership that would translate to large revenues. In turn, those revenues could actually be used to fund a real launch.

shrug, of course people would only watch in big numbers if you could also supply some washed-up C-list celebrities and oddballs.
I'm not aware of a legal definition of "police" that prevents private corporations from claiming to have a "police force." Seems to me it's marketing and security theater- use the word to obtain "respect" (fear?) from the public; demonstrate (theatrically) that the company "cares" about safety. (That said, Amtrak isn't exactly a private corporation...)

Basically, regardless whether it's an Actual Police force, or a pretend one, you need to be aware of your rights and never acquiesce simply because you "have nothing to hide."
> Oil is primarily used as fuel for transportation.

The use of the word "oil" tends to include gas too (and in many cases coal) as the word the press many times doesn't use is hydrocarbons. Gas (be it natural gas, shale gas) is very much a source of electricity production, around one third of all gas is used for electricity... it's almost 100 in the case of coal.

It's mentioned in the video: traditional cells c. 30% vs 22%. A 1/3 loss in efficiency. But then, their use is more flexible.

> How many square kilometers of that glass do we need to install to meet that demand?

"Dividing the global yearly demand by 400 kW•h per square meter (198,721,800,000,000 / 400) and we arrive at 496,804,500,000 square meters or 496,805 square kilometers (191,817 square miles) as the area required to power the world with solar panels. This is roughly equal to the area of Spain. At first that sounds like a lot and it is. But we should put this in perspective." Source: http://landartgenerator.org/blagi/archives/127
According to Wikipedia[1], "sunlight provides an irradiance of just over 1 kilowatt per square meter at sea level. Of this energy, 527 watts is infrared radiation, 445 watts is visible light, and 32 watts is ultraviolet radiation".

This may be a goof thread to discuss phonegap.

So I compiled and installed the Snow Reports on my iPhone 2g. Few things immediately noticeable:

1. There are no animations transitioning from one screen to next. Jarring.

2. The back button is in non-standard place

3. When a button is pressed only part of its face becomes dark. The result is that the button looks torn.

4. There is about 1.1 second lag when pressing "Weather" button.

5. There is an occasional ~200ms lag when pressing any button, but it's not always there.

6. The inertial scrolling is slower than the native one, so the initial screen feel sluggish.

In light of this I would like to raise a question - will phonegap/webkit ever rise to the level of smoothness of native apps? Inquiring minds want to know!

I think that your solution is better in that it's simpler, but I'm not sure what the compiler will do in this case. Theoretically, in[i+j] could point to temp_out, but it could only be through very tricky means, since temp_out is on the stack, and the caller presumably doesn't know where it will be allocated.

An FFT wouldn't be faster in this case since the filter only has five taps. Generally there has to be a decent sized kernel for the FFT to be worth it -- the FFT is O(N log N), and this algorithm is only 5*N operations.
