Well that's been the issue of late, and all my submitted articles on the DMCA 512 issue that music entities (RIAA) are pushing for in the US government could have big implications here.

Copyright without enforcement is no right at all - on that we should be able to agree.

Thus, I believe it's a societal issue in trying to figure out an equitable balance (in this case - currently policing / take downs via DMCA, civil cases a la Beastie Boys curb stomping GoldiBlox). Now, has the scale been tilted in a lopsided way? Oh yeah, I'm no fan of Copyright becoming essentially a Corporate Legal Weapon.

But...and this is a big but...killing Copyright outright also stands to injure many smaller, more vulnerable creators. I've yet to see any remotely feasable avenue to remedy it outside of "Music and movies should just be, like, free, man" like the parent asserts.

The problems are not inept individuals, nor will scaring people out of the field improve conditions.

More than likely, the fear of recourse causes more error and malpractice than the errors themselves.

Think for a moment: why are commercial airplanes so safe? Why when an airplane crashes is it so rarely "pilot error?" And why, when it really is pilot error, does the pilot not get blamed? It is because of profound realizations in the design of the air travel system that veered toward systemic control of air traffic and its safety, rather than individual pilot accountability.

I will say unequivocally and factually: our health care would be orders of magnitude safer and higher quality if we treated it in exactly the same way.

If I'm using a nano or micro, I might as well code directly on the Chromebook, which at least has 2GB of RAM. The point of using a cloud box, from what I understood it, was avoiding the need for an expensive/powerful laptop, and for that you need at least a t2.medium, in my opinion.

Having worked in health care IT in the US and Canada, all I can recommend is 'do not get sick'. Even if the data is right, there is a 50/50 chance medical practitioner will misread or ignore it
Sure they aren't the majority, but even having 25% of births be primary cesarean is ridiculous. The rate of cesarean for low-risk births is driven by policy, tradition, and unfortunately also profit motive. Simple changes in policy have dramatic influence on the cesarean rate, which strongly implies that the procedures were not medically indicated. For example the rate of cesareans for ordinary full-term, low-risk births in the US declined 6 percentage points after 2009, simply because the ACOG put out a statement about them. WHO says that the rate should be 15%, leaving half of US cesareans unexplained by medical necessity.

No one said that. Reread my comment. What I said is that the cultural component needs to be addressed too.
I guess that depends on how you got your phone. Manufacturers make carrier-specific hardware a lot of the time since carriers buy in bulk. This is slowly going away in the US with most companies switching to pre-paid and BYOD plans, but still an issue. Sometimes it's simply a digit on the end of a model number, other times complete radio frequencies different. I remember when I got my Note2 years ago, I got the T-mobile one because it had the best hardware and most frequencies supported. I waited the required number of months before I could unlock it and hop to ATT for their network. Sometimes only certain model numbers will accept a flash because of whatever the carrier had the manufacturer do to their model.

I know there's recent legislation on it, but for a long time there were carrier locks on phones sold with plans and they were the only one you could have on it. Before LTE, CDMA phones couldn't switch carriers but with the grace of heir current carrier as it was on the carriers end. There was no removable SIM. I'm not sure if modern CDMA phones still require explicit requests to the carrier regardless of the LTE SIM as I'm on GSM which has always had them.

Modern android even has a SQL database file in their phones for things like carrier-locked-down tethering and limits. So if you have a version of android that doesn't have these bit-flags getting sent with packets or has new ones, I'm not sure your carrier would allow it on the network. Of course you can root it and make all data, even tethered, appear like it's coming from the android browser. Carriers seem to have a lot of hooks in the OS is all I'm saying, blindly flashing is unfortunately asking for trouble.

>Surely graduates of MIT, of all places, would be the ones building the libraries that ordinary programmers are stitching together and would still need the ability to build complex systems from fundamental CS abstractions?

"MIT" doesn't necessarily mean "super-elite programmer". I work in an office that's half MIT grads, and the non-MIT half are pretty much equivalently good (though with much worse connections around Cambridge). That's not to say MIT sucks or anything, but more to say that with luck, a really solid CS or EECS degree gets the student up to being able to build important components from scratch at all, which isn't necessarily the level needed to build those components from scratch for public release or for profit. That latter goal requires a good education followed by professional training and experience.

Who doesn't love a good pun? As a a Slayer fan, programmer and Windows admin, I really dig the name. ;-)

In "I Sing The Body Electronic", Fred Moody describes Alice Cooper visiting the Microsoft campus (which is home to a fair share of metal heads, apparently). "Why are you guys called Microsoft? Wouldn't you rather be called Macro-Hard?"

The same book also mentions a programmer having to work the weekend before Encarta is shipped, because a freelance programmer put an article titled "Slayer sucks like vacuum" in it. So, historically speaking, this kind of evens things out. ;-)
When my father was dying (liver cancer, he was goner, no surprises) a senior doctor in the hospital made one of the intern's life hell about not weighting the excreted urine when changing the bags.

The intern (and me) pointed out that it was pointless - his answer - "He is in our care, and if we do something, we do it right" - that is the attitude that saves lives.

A mistake is a mistake. It may even lose someone 15 minutes - doesn't matter - it was literally everything left that the patient had in the world. We are not talking about shit happens situations - there will always be risks when doing interventions.

This can't be overstated.

I'm not sure the risk profile in medicine is similar enough to expect the same magnitude of improvement that aviation got.

I am sure, however, that the systematic way of viewing errors as an opportunity for improvement and transparent evaluation, rather than an opportunity for blame throwing and obfuscation, was absolutely key to the success of ASRS and related.

The key takeaway isn't a checklist system, it it is the report and reviewing that arrived at what is on the checklist, and why.
TO me, they key problem you have to solve is: how do you avoid rent-seeking, and cost of living inflation? I'm not convinced UBI works in a free market.

You've got it backwards. You should be entitled copyright protection for first making your work public domain, because you incurred costs in generating it and the public benefits from it.

The intent is to distribute the costs of the IP to consumers, in which circumventing the DRM defeats.
That's an obvious and boring conclusion, though. It's barely beyond saying that if you roll dice, sequences with more rolls tend to have more sixes.
I noticed while living in Germany (this was just before the euro was introduced) that Germans love to pay for things in cash.

I was in line at Media Markt waiting to buy something and was a bit surprised to see the person in front of me pay for a computer with cash. It cost 2200 DM (this would have converted to 1100 euros), and he gave the cashier two 1000 DM notes and a 200 DM note. I was surprised to see so much money in cash form, but the cashier acted like it was normal.

I was told that transactions of this sort were common in Germany. Someone I knew told me they had witnessed someone paying for a car with cash, and although this was more unusual, it was not unheard of.

When I cashed out my bank account, I ended up with a 1000 DM bill, with a nice picture of the Brothers Grimm on it. It was weird to have so much money in one bill. Deutschmark notes became larger as the demonination increased, so that 1000 DM bill was huge. It didn't fit in my wallet, that's for sure.

I wonder if Germans still love paying for high value items in cash. I could certainly see them using 500 euro bills for purchases.

Remember, it doesn't need to be terribly efficient. Just efficient enough. I agree that its probably 100-200 years off though (if it can be done at all).
I don't think it would be too much different either. The problem would be if there were negative externalities. That's likely if people try to shoot for meaning rather than addiction and find it in ways that hurt others. We've seen that throughout history with the young: gangs, terrorism, and revolution.
I am not sure if you make distinction between failure and mistake. You don't have to do anything wrong to lose a critical patient.

There is significant effort to improve things in the right way, it's via a systemic approach called Lean Healthcare (that takes into account processes, statistics, culture, leadership, and management), and you can check out leaders like Mark Graban for more information.

http://www.leanblog.org/

https://twitter.com/markgraban

Fun fact: the current battle is that Lean has roots in Toyota's production system (which is mainly centered around the tenets of 'respect for people' and 'continuous improvement'), and certain recent opinion pieces have cited poorly-implemented Lean efforts as making hospitals more like production lines and dehumanizing healthcare. No True Scotsman, but still, it's a hard fight to change the whole system of care to be based in working systems of people and quality improvement, and any link in the chain missing can make the outcome fall.

I don't think that there's an equal distribution of people willing to say whatever in favor of their end goals. Certainly not "anybody." Most pro-wind people are that way because of an honest accounting of the pros and cons, as there's no other reason to be in favor of it. There's not a super-strong political or economic constituency behind it. Those who are anti-wind however...
In Canada, when I needed over a $1,000 to pay my dentist I happily carried a $1,000 note.

Of course, I had to order it from my bank and wait until the next time they had money being shipped in. It's a happy memory that I can never repeat, because the $1,000 bills are no longer made here: (or in the U.S.)Although we haven't declared war on drugs we do have concerns about crime.

>The programmers I've met fall largely into two groups, those who like systems level programming, knowing how the OS works, how it interfaces with the hardware, what the memory layout is like, etc. and those who like abstraction and the things that SICP values.

Many of us are in both groups, which is how stuff like Rust came about.
Make Your Body Burn Fat for Fuel Explained
Right, but as I point out below, you're not getting ahead making 0.1% above inflation. You're barely tracking it if it increases (and with rents and healthcare costs spiking/not properly tracked in inflation, I'd say you're most assuredly not staying ahead of inflation).
Sorry for being unclear. I'm not proposing NoSQL. I'm saying that many NoSQL users really mainly want NoDDL, which can be implemented on top of Postgres JSON storage while retaining SQL.

- data (string type, int id, json fields)

- fk (string type, int subj_id, int obj_id)

select
data.id,
data.fields,
fk_1.obj_id as 'foo_id'
fk_2.obj_id as 'bar_id'
from data
join fk as fk_1 on data.id = fk_1.subj_id
join fk as fk_2 on data.id = fk_2.subj_id
where
data.type = 'my_table'
and fk_1.type = 'foo'
and fk_2.type = 'bar'

What would the performance characteristics of that be versus if "foreign keys" are stored in the same table as the data, if fk has the optimal indexes?

Anytime someone talks about the need for tort reform and capping non-economic medical malpractice damages, this is what they're advocating for.

The idea that a "cap on damages" number could be found to cover lifetime expenses incurred for all malpractice cases would be difficult to swallow even if the number was backed up by a fairly large data-set. It's totally absurd when you consider that these numbers are usually arbitrarily set by uninformed politicians and highly biased lobbyists.

As a programmer with a slightly paranoid persona, I naturally spent countless hours thinking about 'non representable states' (my attachment for FP and formal systems wouldn't surprise anybody). And the same for real life situations, be it driving[2], or even more healthcare. Things that shouldn't happen shouldn't be possible unless clearly thought out and willingly carried out actions. I wonder how 'CS wishful thinking' this is, if this is a cultural problem. After all medicine is doing "ok"[1] without it, would it bring significant and stable benefits, at what cost ... Also we (whatever the country) should support this kind of effort way more, and pay and employ healthcare workers enough so they can work optimally. And governments should make it as easy and transparent as possible. The rest is ridiculously secondary.

[1] not diminishing what happened to people at all, but most of the time we're satisfied by medical approximations as much as we go on with our own mistakes.

> But who does pick the lettuce?

Realistically, in the short-run, basically the same people doing it now: even a "just out of poverty level" UBI isn't yet sustainable with the current level of productivity and automation. So, the people that can't get a better job than lettuce picking will still need to work, and will still be picking lettuce. They'll have slightly higher total income. (From the UBI itself; whether their wages will change and in which direction is less clear.)

> What does that do to the price of lettuce?

Not a lot in the short run, though maybe small increases.

> If we apply that same thinking to every other food item, what does it do to food prices?

Likewise. A "mature" UBI that would be at a level that would substantially change this would also require levels of productivity and automation where you probably wouldn't have people picking lettuce (though you'd have a few maintaining the lettuce-picking bots) in the first place.
Pioneers of Private Astronautics in Russia: SPUTNIX
Not a doctor, but familiar with some of the arguments.

Visible use of checklists damages patient trust. You may (correctly) argue that patients who see their doctors following checklists should trust them MORE rather than less, but most data shows otherwise. Patient trust is very important not just for improving outcomes (they need to follow your instructions after discharge) but also in selecting a physician. That's why checklist use is higher in the OR, when the patient is unconscious.

Checklist use is slower. Virtually all physicians are already overscheduled. Lengthening every visit by 30-50% so that the doctor can go over a checklist that only ends up mattering a tiny percentage of the time means fewer patients get seen.

The other attacks diabetes treatment non-compliance and the grant claims it will prevent 5,000 deaths caused by diabetes and the loss of 200,000 quality adjusted years of life.
