HealthLoop | Mountain View, CA | http://www.healthloop.com

We are looking for a detail oriented, clinically inclined Patient Experience Lead with excellent customer facing skills.

HealthLoop is a cloud-based platform that automates follow-up care; keeping doctors, patients and care-givers connected between visits with clinical information that is insightful, actionable, and engaging. Our peer-reviewed follow-up plans automate the routine aspects of care while tracking patient progress and monitoring clinical areas of concern. Our analytics engine sifts through and filters the deluge of patient-generated data in real time; focusing the care team’s time and attention on patients who need them the most.

For more information, visit: http://healthloop.com/patient-experience-lead/
I had some servers built to my spec and testing showed that everything does a pretty damn good job, several thousand concurrent visitors, all sending requests every couple of seconds. The code was the bottle neck though, had to move some stuff to other places, even still the hardware has plenty to give.

I think (I hope) the current capacity will be enough until there's enough paying customers to warrant/pay for upgrades.
Moonpig.com is not an application you run on your own computer, though, it's a service operated and hosted by Moonpig. Any tampering with that application in a way that's not intended is a violation of the CFAA.

As you and I have essentially both just said, it's very unlikely there would be any prosecution due to the facts and the researcher's intentions, but I think it is still a technical violation. Paraphrasing, but the first line of the CFAA is "having knowingly accessed a computer without authorization or exceeding authorized access" (that line is explicitly for access that could jeopardize national security, but it goes on to set similar limits for general unauthorized access of any entity).

In this case it is not necessarily unauthorized access of a customer's account, but unauthorized access to a component of Moonpig's system.
I thought B&E was a bigger crime because of the intentional use of force? Demonstrating a greater criminal intent, or something like that. Popping a window lock with a credit card causes no damage, but it's still B&E.

Also think the indictment is bullshit.
> I'll say that even then there was other housing and not everyone lived in the one building.

When I was there last in `86, there were a few dwellings (maybe 8-12?) at the Sportsman's Inn and two old shacks right down by the railroad owned by one family of three. On google street maps I can see two or three new freestanding houses. The Shens who ran the better bar lived there. The vast majority of people live in Beggich Towers. It looks about the same now as it did then, and does not seem to have been renovated much. Are you perhaps thinking of the Buckner Building?

> There's no place shittier than Whittier

Not that I have found so far ;)

> I was told the main reason Whittier exists is because it's the only port deep enough to dock warships.

Liberal/moderate/conservative is an outdated distinction that is no longer useful to anyone but demagogues.

When 98% of your subjects fall into one side of your division, it doesn't mean that there's not enough diversity. It means that your division is meaningless.

People who would pick "liberal" when presented with the three choices above are by no means a homogeneous group, especially since the questionnaire didn't offer an "other" choice. Anarchists, communists, socialists, social democrats, feminists, postmodernists, and even some libertarians might pick "liberal" since the alternatives are even further from their true beliefs.

Curiously, conservatives seem to be the ones who are always worried about "ideological imbalance", whereas most of the rest don't really care. It boils down to this weird idea that conservatism should account for roughly (and preferably more than) 50% of our mindshare, with all the other ideologies (conveniently lumped together under the label "liberalism") accounting for the other 50%. But that's just wrong, because there are more than two ideologies in this world. It's like dividing the world into "those who do X" and "those who don't", for any given X, and demanding that both groups be roughly equal.

The wiki page for "political ideologies" lists a dozen major ideologies with hundreds of subdivisions. Should they all get equal mindshare?
I believe this image now has the world record for largest image of Andromeda Galaxy/M31

True in NYC too. I almost gotten taken out by a cop car driving the wrong way down a narrow one-way street, of all things. It wasn't even running its siren!
Sure. But lets have a good time mocking those deluded critics as well. That's good fun too!

I have now added these images to wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avebury#Location_and_environme...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wittenham_Clumps#Location

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maiden_Castle,_Dorset#First_hi...

I think the inclusion for Glastonbury Tor is particularly useful, because the LIDAR perfectly shows the terraces that were already discussed in that section of the article.

In the past, I have scanned many hand-drawn (engraving) pictures in Victorian tomes of County Histories in my local library, to get topographies of hillfort sites for Wikipedia (mainly in the SW of England). I will now start to add these LIDAR images. Better to scan the ground itself than to scan a print of an engraving of a hand-drawn picture by some tweed-jacketed Victorian archaeology dude.

>Lots of companies will openly admit they just can’t compete with FAANG salaries for instance.

Yeah. Anecdotally, many tech companies don't have big location-based pay differences across the US. But they mostly do that by not having offices or at least major offices in places like SV and NYC--and basically don't really try to salary match the big tech companies. I have a feeling that if you looked at most tech employers you'd see a lot more outflow to FAANG than the other way around.
> I find myself self-censoring on controversial topics far more often than I think is healthy for deep, mutual understanding

I've been finding more and more that I have to bite my tongue around people, even that I know also. The most upsetting part is when you see otherwise intelligent people fall into fallacious anti-patterns. One such anti-pattern that I see right now is black and white reasoning. For instance disagreeing with something being labelled racist means you support racism. Essentially, if you can shift the conversation from a complex topic (is this action racist) to a simple one (we shouldn't be racists) then it becomes easier to form an opinion and castigate your opponent.

I have to wonder how much of this is the person on the other side trying to copout of a topic which they haven't thought about, versus the influence of twitter-like agitprop. I think it's likely a fusion of both.

I've always had high-ish cholesterol. I dramatically cut down on carbs and animal protein (no meat at all, but still some dairy and eggs) which resulted in only modest improvement to LDL.

I do cardio at least 3 times a week and train a form of calisthenics (push ups, pull ups, dips, etc) at least three days a week.

It doesn't really do much for the numbers. I think some people just draw the short straw on cholesterol.

The trick to it is that cholesterol is only one of many subtle risk factors in cardiovascular health. As this article suggests, it's obviously not the case that high cholesterol is universally associated with worse outcomes, and there's no guarantee that improving the test scores will provide any benefit for an otherwise healthy patient. Does the doctor look at the whole person and their exercise regimen and conclude it's not worth medicating for the cholesterol risk? Or do they consider that lowering cholesterol can improve risk even further and so recommend medication? There's actually a protocol here that includes cholesterol as only one factor.

Ideally, a model like the one in this article could help better understand who to actually treat. We know cholesterol is a reliable proxy for risk at population levels, but if it could be ruled out for individual parents that would be very helpful.
Or I could be in favor of whatever it is, but don't want my news feed to be filled with my commentary about whatever social issue du jour it is like everyone else who engages in this, and would rather it just be more personal.

Also I don't want to have to be attacked or have to defend my position if I don't word things perfectly (more commonly don't show enough outrage, because I don't have as strong of opinions as a lot of people on social media), which seems to be a common occurrence nowadays.
Wow, there is a lot of negativity towards science in this thread. Um, yeah, it could be better. But it's mostly a matter of personal courage. Of course institutional funding is not the best incentive for the best science. Good science comes from courageous individuals in courageous communities. Not financial incentives. Good science takes courage.
> I'm always on the fence as to if acting on no new information is better than acting on false or misleading information.

Yeah, neither is good.

> If you can't trust the source the data is almost worthless.

It’s worse than worthless, because you are expecting disinformation. Though to be fair you can also get disinformation from sources you trust...

> Getting any direct access to gather independent information I'd say is nearly always valuable unless it's also targeted with disinformation campaigns.

That’s why it’s good to have inspectors. But even then, there are limits. Inspectors usually cannot go anywhere they please (otherwise nobody would sign that treaty), so it’s always possible to hide things from them.

Our governments have also the right to be critical when reading reports, particularly based on data from untrustworthy countries. We elect them to do their job, and that job involves quite a bit of critical thinking when dealing with other countries. They also have experts and often scientific cooperation agreements that can complement the WHO.

So yes, the WHO is imperfect. Perfecting it is quite difficult without causing countries to drop out, and countries should not be reliant on only one source anyway.

I find Bucky's videos on Youtube to be very good. <http://www.youtube.com/user/thenewboston>; He has a large set of videos on Python, C, C++, iPhone dev, and much more.

The worst example I've seen related to this is my friend (business major) who almost didn't take a paid internship because she had already agreed to do an unpaid internship and would feel bad abandoning the company. I had to explain to her how bad of an idea it is to be loyal to a company that doesn't even value her enough to pay her.

It is odd to me that people care one iota about Ayn Rand the person. She was a novelist and philosopher, and so the best way to approach her is to read her works and think about them, not to try to read ancient and unreliable dish about her personal life.

Anyone who is fascinated by the sort of gossip that these biographers found (such as the idea that Frank was a wuss who didn't want to move to NY or that Rand was addicted to speed) would probably strongly prefer People magazine to any of Rand's works. Fortunately for them, many such magazines exist.

There is an odd tone of satisfaction in many reviews of Rand biographies... as if the writer feels somehow more empowered to critique Rand's ideas after learning about some personal foible or other than he/she did after reading (or attempting to read) one of her books.
So you should never think of "sleep" in javascript. Since the language is single-threaded, really if you pause the script you're pausing the entire environment (whether its in the browser or on the server in something like Node.js).

But, to answer your question:

// some code runs here

var continue = function(data){
//more code runs in here after sleep
}

setTimeout(function(){
continue(data);
},2000);

A different pattern:

var obj = {
sleep: function(fn, time){
setTimeout(fn, time );
},
func1: function(data){
console.log('Continuing');
},
init: function(data){

console.log('Starting');
obj.sleep(obj.func1, 2000);
}

}
obj.init()

I wonder what the odds are of dying a few hours after eating a final burger (stroke, heart failure, etc) verses dying a few hours after boarding a doomed aircraft. I recall the odds of dying are like one in 15 million for first world airlines, I have a hard time believing that less than 1 in 15 million people who eat a burger die because of that burger.
Whoever here wants to start an alternative to TechCrunch that doesn't dengenerate into crap, say aye. Hell, even a well-researched blog would kill techcrunch, mashable and all those shameless corporate/startup whores who pose as journalist.

Although...Yahoo should have came out and dispelled the rumours as soon as they circulated or released their own press release as soon as the presentation was finished.

I think both parties here are to blame; journalists (or supposed journalistst) should hold themselves to a higher standard and actually investigate instead of merely reporting rumours, and corporations should make sure they control their marketing/media message.
Node is a server-side js environment. I use it all the time now and its awesome. I still use Python & Django for web development, but in the next few years I will feel completely comfortable switching over to a javascript stack entirely.

WebGL is something I haven't played with much, mainly due to small market share yet. With so much out there, I've had to prioritize on what to learn and when. I recommend http://learningwebgl.com/ to get started.

MooTools is mainly a client-side library. I've found that its syntax, like that of YUI and Prototype are excessive and limited. While you can use any library to get the same work done, I've stuck with jQuery because its just more natural for me to work with it. Its syntax, features, and widespread support are all positive reasons to use jQuery over other libraries.

GWT was designed to let Java engineers write javascript in Java. That's just a bad, bad idea. The resulting javascript code doesn't really take advantage of the language the way it was designed. It helps Java engineers feel like they can write web stuff, but really the end result is not often very pretty.

> government fiat money that is backed by literally nothing at all

It would be really nice for people to spend even a few minutes thinking about how money works, or open a textbook even just to learn what you disagree with.

It's tiresome to explain over and over and over again to people how the "full faith and credit of the United States" is not "nothing at all" but in fact a guarantee of great value, at least as good as any on any other security, and one that is quite measurable (by for example comparing the prices of full faith and credit securities with other almost identical securities without this guarantee).

On the contrary, I'd say that it's the cryptocurrencies that _by design_ are based on nothing at all.
The downside of that attitude is that if a chat program is only used for what governments consider subversive activities then it will be targeted to be shutdown. It is much better to have a general-purpose, secure chat program that IS mainstream making it more difficult for oppressive regimes to target.

At least this would not be possible. If you declare bancruptcy the company will be put under a outside CEO who tries to save the company. Is it different in the US?
True... but cost of living is considerably lower.

While companies continue to base offers they make on your current salary (if you're silly enough to disclose it), accepting a lower salary on the basis of a lower cost of living is going to lower all your future salaries.

While in the US, I see seed rounds of 0.5-1.5 Millions, the last 2 seed deals I've seen in Lisbon were of mere 50K€

Seed rounds don't exist in the US any more. The first raise is effectively a Series A, because startups are expected to bootstrap to revenue now.
