>Here's how Rogers explained the hack: Tesla cars have a cable inside, which maintenance people can access to fix things. That cable is hidden, in a secret panel, either to the left of the driver or under the touchscreen.

>Pop it open, find the cable and plug into it.

So you need physical access to the inside of the car to do this? That doesn't sound like a security problem at all. If someone malicious has physical access to a normal car they could cut the brake lines or drain the oil, without even needing to unlock the car.

How to Fix Dell.com – And Dell's Branding Crisis
To be fair, ERs are being rated, not doctors. They are generally independent of each other.

" How friendly the staff is is absolutely irrelevant when you have a medical emergency. "

I disagree, delving into the negative spectrum of interpersonal communication could cause unwarranted stress which could exacerbate many conditions.

I agree that staff shouldn't be expected to bend over backwards, but there's no need for negative treatment. And I don't consider saying "no" to a low priority case as negative treatment. And if as an ER employee you can't handle the stress of the ER you may need to change departments or get some training.

" I'd always chose the bigger ER over a smaller one "

Which requires research, which most people don't have time for in an emergency. But I agree completely with this. I live in one of the largest medical centers in the world and I know where to go.

>Why can't content industries just accept that the gravy train of yesteryear is over?

Entrenched incumbents rarely can. And, economically speaking, if they reckon they'll be able to extract more longevity/revenue/advantage this way (lobbying to manipulate the playing-field in their favour, as opposed to coming up with innovations that would enable the business to adapt and thrive) -- then I guess that's the "rational" thing to do :)

Also people are always upset when they visit the doctor. Because the vast majority of people will get told "you need to change your diet and exercise more" and that is not what people want to hear.

People (including doctors with regards to themselves) are terrible at judging health outcomes that don't involve a transition from "I'm going to die" to "now I will live" - the biggest predictor of patient opinion of the quality of their medical care in a hospital, for example, was always how nice the room was.

I'm not suggesting that it's Google's fault (well other than forcing OEMs to shove Google stuff down my throat). It's a general complaint about the android ecosystem as a whole. Even Windows 98 got more regular security updates than most android phones.
All too often, the "carefully designing" becomes some sort of masochistic ritual where all errors are attempted to be piped through a single tool in the dev chain. Static typing is popular nowdays. As are high level functional strategies.

It is great when these work. Or when you have a high level team that doesn't abuse the system at all and gets things done using these strategies. I have seen too many times where the result is a system that even the creator does not fully understand. Worse, what should be simple changes turn into giant modifications of a Rube Goldberg machine.
Not entirely. Netflix can have it, but still tells you they don't because their entire streaming library is not simultaneously available.

Netflix rotates their streaming content in an attempt to make old content look new. A series or movie will disappear for a year or two only to re-appear as though it's something brand new to the Netflix lineup, rather than a case of Netflix shuffling great chunks of content in and out of play.

I don't mind them doing that, I can understand the improbability of supporting their entire streaming library at once, just from a management perspective.

The studios do give netflix grief. It'll be interesting to see how this works out. I can't foresee any future where each of the big studios can support any ~10 a month model to show only their content. Maybe a dollar or two. But definitely no more, and it would have to be commercial-free.

There will have to be an aggregate distrubtor, whether it's NetFlix or another company, or maybe just devices to access studio's streaming channels (Roku, etc.). I don't see each studio being able to maintain the revenue to make the required streaming infrastructure cost effective.

> In the UK positive pressure machines are only recommended after lifestyle interventions have been tried.

The medical opinion in the US is that CPAP is the first-line treatment to be done in parallel with any necessary lifestyle adjustments in all cases of OSA.

http://annals.org/article.aspx?articleid=1742606

> Recommendation 1: ACP recommends that all overweight and obese patients diagnosed with OSA should be encouraged to lose weight. (Grade: strong recommendation; low-quality evidence)

> Recommendation 2: ACP recommends continuous positive airway pressure treatment as initial therapy for patients diagnosed with OSA. (Grade: strong recommendation; moderate-quality evidence)

Though not explicitly stated in the paper, the general consensus I have heard from physicians here (and others in this sub-thread have stated) is that lifestyle intervention is much more likely to fail if CPAP is not initiated in parallel.

One thing that has always helped me is just simple meditation. It trains your brain to rein-in focus, and after you have done it for a while you can recover focus in just a few seconds if you find your mind wandering.
Perhaps a different angle.

If done at 4pm, just leave, do something else, volunteer a project. No need to be seen to put in 'required hours;. Delivery is important. If anyone sticks around for required hours they're being dishonest with their team about their capacity.

For overtime, a good manager depends on honesty of their staff to gauge their capacity. A staff member that sticks around until required time doing nothing but pretending they are doing tasks is being dishonest about their capacity.

> In an absolute theoretical sense, the idea is quite true, but I'm not sure what wisdom or value is supposed to be imparted through expressing it - especially in the way it's phrased above.

Dijkstra wants you to formally prove that your code is correct. In actual practice, that works only for trivially small programs. Worse, it ensures that only trivially small programs get written. (Yes, I know, there have been longer programs proven correct. I can count on one hand the number I have heard of. And in each case, the effort to do so was very large compared to the size of the program.)

> From this point of view, testing will show an absence of bugs - not categorically all bugs, but all bugs I care about.

Not unless you test all possible inputs you care about. And for most programs, that's completely impossible.
Leaving aside the sites that are not communities, you have Youtube (got big because of lenient enforcement of media copyrights), Craigslist (got big because it allowed all kind of stuff, up to and including prostitution), Twitter (people complain about Twitter lack of management on HN weekly, and it never turned profits).

You're right the argument is less strong for a non-natural monopoly, but Microsoft, say, when they had a monopoly, held back computing by years and we're still seeing the aftereffects of their monopoly; it has warped an entire industry in not only the US but the world.
You can do ML. But you won't match the performance of state of the art deep learning networks. Training on CPU isn't impossible. Gwern said it was a 20x slowdown, others said it was only as bad as 10x. But for smaller models it should be feasible.

What facts? This is not a peer reviewed journal, you know.

Here are two distinct facts:

1. I do have eyes and I can see a trend.

* I do not recall seeing less fat people as a child, but I do recall seeing more thin people now.

* I also notice that the fat people I see now seems on average younger than the fat people I recall from my childhood.

* I also notice that the fattest ones - those grossly obese instead of merely overweight - are both larger and more common now than what I recall from childhood (and I was practically raised by an aunt that used to be at the very top of the scale back then, but somehow found herself surpassed in the last 20 years or so).

2. We are told by the media that there are statistics that show an epidemic of overweight. The study pointed out claims that physicians consider overweight as one cause (not the cause) of sleep apnea. We are now told that there is also an epidemic of sleep apnea.

* If A causes B, and we observe an increase of both A and B. It is only logic that the "increase of A" is at least partially responsible for the "increase of B".

* It would make an interesting scientific study to figure out the degrees of correlation between "increase of A" and "increase of B". It would be even better if such study could conclude if such correlation is strong enough to justify calling "increase of A" a driving factor in the "increase of B" or not.

* On the other hand, it is a logical fallacy to claim that no conclusion can be reached regarding the causation/correlation between increases of A and B without "backing it up with facts". I will even claim that it is AntiScientific. If you start with that kind of attitude, you will never be able to form falsifiable hypothesis and therefore will be going through the motions of the scientific method without getting down to the substance.
This is not necessary true in the long term though. The presence of that regular updates may have the vendors create a process to release them to their customers in a reasonably timely manner.

> Everybody knows you should get 8-9 hours of sleep per night

I'm with you on health choices and quality of sleep, but I've never needed more than 6-7 hours in the rack.

> The National Institutes of Health suggests that school-age children need at least 10 hours of sleep daily, teens need 9-105 hours, and adults need 7-8 hours.

According to the article 7-8 for adults is normal.
That's the same logic as "ratings are down, let's create more channels, cuz people like variety". They ended up diluting their captive audience even more resulting in even worse ratings. Time to turn off the TV, and that includes internet TV. You really won't miss it.
It's actually two board games. There's also Waddington's Go: http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/7097/go-international-tra...

Which proves Francis McCabe's point. Before naming something, it's a good idea to see if someone's already given something in the same category (a board game, a programming language) the name you thought of. And nowadays, we have search engines such as Google that can be used for this ... which Google could have used.

It's now also a good idea to make sure your name is easily searchable. Go is a common stop word ... so maybe that's why Go! failed to show up when searched for?

The decent thing for Google to do is to return McCabe's language in search results if the user types in Go! with the exclamation mark. It has no trouble returning the programming languages when C, lisp, or basic are entered. Better still would be to rename their language to Golang, its alternative name.

> Trying to get a CPAP covered by insurance is a pain, but if you have a prescription you can get one online and pay for it yourself - the same is true for supplies.

> The article is terribly condescending towards Reddit's founders and moderators.

Quibbling point, but I found the article fairly flattering toward moderators. And as in the article, it's moderators who're often the quickest to call the admins out for the burden their inaction places on us. A lot of what reddit is now has been accomplished by moderators in spite of that burden.
I'd argue usenet + sonarr/sickbeard (+sabnzbd/nzbget) + plex is even better but I agree overall. I pay for TV, Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc but I rarely watch content on those platforms. Plex is just so many times better and I'm not dependant on my crappy ISP.
I work in a law firm that will fire great attorneys. It's part of the big law business model. Up or out and very few get up'd into partnership. So eventually you get fired (after 8-12 years depending on firm.)

So I know eventually my ass will get fired. It's just a matter of when.

I don't really understand it. But it's how the industry works.

Edit: 8-12 is for unambiguously great attorneys. A lot of decent attorneys get shown the door after 4-6 years. People who can't hack it (usually because they won't put up with be worked like a slave) will only make it 2-4 years. A lot of people quit.
4 things you have never been told before, but you really should hear
...except that A) Bitcoin doesn't get around money transmission laws, it causes large numbers of people to inadvertently violate them; B) that's why Coinbase had to completely shut down in Wyoming as I recall; and C) is anyone seriously suggesting that Satoshi Nakamoto took a look at some state money transmission statute or 18 U.S.C. § 1960 and decided to create Bitcoin as a result? If so, that would be the first time I've heard that.
Awesome dynamic chart. Simple concept but able to explore lots of information.
I think you are missing the point.

My server code is running Scala on the JVM on the server, which is JITted down with all the magic of the JVM into native, and running full steam.

My client code is cross compiled javascript that the browser does it's thing client side.

The magic is:

1) Both parts are the same codebase, I can share data objects and logic between platforms

2) I get actual static typing on everything. Not some kind of fake static typing like coffeescript. So just the fact that my code compiles makes my code roughly equal to a mess of Javascript with a bunch of tests hitting the happy path.

3) I get to write in an actual decent language, not Javasript, the worse language to ever write in.

Javascript is the new assembly. It's great, but I never want to touch it! If I can touch a higher level language, why wouldn't I?
Awesome!

Can we get a fix for Logjam yet? It was first reported on May 20 [0], presumably Google knew about it earlier (I know Firefox was given advance notice [1]), yet the latest stable releases of chrome on both mobile and desktop are still vulnerable.

You never have the private key of your contact. Private keys are private. But I get what you're saying. The system is trust on first use, so your client will accept whatever the server gives you as the identity.

But that's how it is with any system. Even with PKI you're just trusting a different server. At least it's possible for you to check your contact's fingerprint out of band if you're really concerned.

You need the TextSecure server because without it you're not going to be able to connect to your contact at all. When everyone's moving between different connections to the internet and is almost always behind NAT then communication is only practical with a server.

There's nothing stopping anyone from exchanging messages directly over TCP sockets. It would totally work. But how practical is that? How will anyone initiate a connection to your cell phone?
I have bought a Nexus 4, it has giant issues where you are unable to hear recipients, intermittently until you reboot. This has been reported to Google via so many ways.

Results may vary, but side sleeping in general is much better if you suffer from apnea. The tennis ball trick is often suggested. The reason why side sleeping works better is because when you are sleeping on your back, gravity naturally makes your neck and jaw push down on your throat and this can cause episodes where your breathing stops momentarily. Side sleeping mitigates this by having less weight falling on your throat.

> infinity is very large and how you approach it will determine your eventual outcome. Here we could subsample preferred points first and actually derive any specific probability (0,1) and maybe even make it sound reasonable

Your reasoning seems right to me, but can you come up with an example way of sampling that gives a probability very close to 0? What about very close to 1?

I'm curious, but having a hard time coming up with a reasonable way of sampling that makes for "obviously you're almost never/always getting a chord longer than sqrt3 if you do it like this".

One could engineer phones differently so they would be more secure. Having some fallback option if a phone update fails, which I think is a reason why manufacturers does not update.

For example having a boot loader and two different flash areas. One primary area and one secondary then you tick tock boot between the different images. This how routers and CoreOS and XenServer does it.
