Shift change is a dangerous time in hospitals:

It is a big change from the traditional shift change in many hospital units, where nurses going off duty typically confer in a hallway or at the nursing station with the nurse coming on for the next shift, giving a rundown of their patients’ status and needs. In some cases nurses may simply write up a report in the medical record for the next shift to read.

It varies. Many have "contact visits" where you're allowed to sit with the inmate. Not uncontrolled, though...heavily supervised, and usually, with assigned seating that keeps you a few feet apart.

Also, use sticky keys (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sticky_keys)

I use all software with sticky keys enabled and I can't go back to a state without sticky keys. I wonder why others also don't use it. Stick with it for two or three full days and I am certain that you will love not having to press shift to capitalise text or how easy it is to press the Ctrl keyboard shortcuts in general. Not to talk about how easy it makes Emacs usage.

For exampe, to paste the URLs above, I pressed Shift with my left pinky and pressed Insert with right pinky one after the other, easier than contorting (it feels so now, after using sticky keys for some time, earlier it was okay) hand to press Ctrl-V. Also, to open and close brackets is real easy, tap Shift then press 9.

>I recommend trying out sticky keys if your OS supports it, because your hands really feels better. It takes a while to switch mindset e.g. from M-x to M x (pressing one after the other), but it’s worth it. No less effective and less stress in the hands. - https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/StickyModifiers

In Windows I place the sticky key icon in taskbar where I can see it instead of placing it inside the tray so that I can see the state of keys so as to avoid any confusion.

Why does that worry you? I would generally consider greater global unity to be a positive trend.
Social Security is not a top candidate for extending the last Depression, though it could figure in this one. It's important to note that the real awesome things for prolonging the last Great Depression were genius moves like the Agricultural Adjustment Act (price supports and paying farmers to not-grow crops while burning crops deliberately in the midst of famine, plus laying the foundations for every modern lefty's favorite Big Agribusiness complex) and all the centralized economic planning under the National Recovery Administration (industrial collusion and price fixing on both the local and national levels).

I think you misread me. Parent to my original post said information indicating evidence was ill-gotten would be thrown out, not the evidence itself. That makes it impossible to argue the evidence was obtained illegally. As far as I can figure it would lead to what you're talking about, which is madness, so I was asking why a judge would not allow proof evidence was obtained illegally. (Basically, I totally agree with you and am confused as to why a judge would not be.)

You can often avoid asking the "why" question explicitly. If you instead ask about the unintended consequences of the current policy, people will elaborate on the reasons why the situation is undesired, without you asking for it.

For example, in the third question of the article you could ask "Is this the usual level of lubrication?" and you will reach the same conclusion of "No, the oil pump on the robot is circulating less oil than normal."

The gold standard. The decoupling of currency to gold corresponded with increasing income inequality. Decoupling currency from gold put control of interest rates in the hands of central bankers, who lowered those rates as times passed. The inflation of the prices of financial assets and lowering of yields as a result of lowering of interest rates meant it became harder and harder for the working class to save their way into financial independence. The group of people who originally held the assets reaped the benefit of higher asset prices, allowing them to borrow more against their assets to purchase more capital, and as prices rose, it was like the ladder to financial independence slowly lifted away from the ground, too.

As a programmer who used to work with the development of training simulations for surgeons, I find this tremendously exciting.

The company I used to work for focused on using computers to improve the state of surgery, primarily laparoscopy, by using virtual reality to train surgeons. This is an alternative approach, teaching the computer to perform the procedure itself, rather than to evaluate its performance.

As a side note: I actually spent a fair bit of time exercising with modules for suturing, including specifically for the small intestines, and it's definitely quite fiddly work.

We want inflation in wages, deflation in assets like houses, stocks bonds. i.e. the opposite of what's occurring, and what's occurring is the suppression in interest rates. Raising interest rates will cause the inflation you're talking about over the long run - predicted by the Fisher equation: nominal interest rates = real interest rates + inflation. (Real interest rates are constant over the long run).

Religion presents a widespread, structured set of beliefs.

I'd rather say that religion presents a social identity, and prescribes a set of beliefs. The identity is what matters more to most people than the beliefs.

However structured it may be, you still end up with a set of arbitrary limitations based on majority rule. I agree with the GP that if some religious conventions are innocuous enough that they can be allowed for a part of the population, then they should be allowed for all, regardless of social identity. And if certain conventions are deemed dangerous, they should be disallowed regardless of religious sanctity.
> On the other hand you were supposed to pretend you didn't had to study a lot, because kids that study instead of playing were "kujon"s = boring, lame bookworms. It was cool to be smart without working for it.

Yea, where I grew up there was also a term like "bookworm" which was used pejoratively, but it wasn't cause for social rejection, it was merely one of the myriad of ways that kids tease each other. It's not as though the "bookworm" was humiliated or bullied for being so. At least, that's how I remember it.
Not really. I fully admit that C++ has its share of problems and the tools too. However, it's a known quantity and one can build upon previous knowledge.

I won't have to learn a new framework because it's the cool new thing or rewrite everything in X because I had en epiphany, it's too slow or doesn't run on some platform. I can focus on solving problems and improving my skillset. C++ is a tool, not a way of life and it gives one a surprising amount of mileage. It was used 20 years ago, it evolves and will probably still be used in 20 years to come.

It's the Wall-e Scenario. If we can find a way to continue to consume cheap, shelf-stable, nutrient-dense food; while at the same time repairing our bodies from the side effects, we can be fat blobs living and consuming and growing the economy.

You have more risks than just reg failure though. Losing your line, line snapping, floods, rockfall, silt bank collapse, getting physically stuck, just to name a few. Based on the number of cave divers and the number of cave diver deaths over the past few years I would say your odds of dying on a cave dive are far, far higher than driving home. I think if you believe that you are more at risk driving then you haven't assessed the risks accurately. I speak as an experienced caver with several cave diving friends.

Yes the pig was alive - "in vivo" means on a live subject.

I'd expect a robot + human intervention to be strictly better than a human alone. Surgery is a slow static kind of operation so if anything starts to go in the wrong direction, the human can press pause and intervene. Then sit back and let the robot continue after correcting its actions. That's quite different from a driverless car where decisions have to be made quickly and you can't just pause to stop and consider which way to steer in an emergency.
That seems pretty reasonable to me, though I don't think you're stating the position very clearly. It's more that people in Kentucky want control over the schools in Kentucky (which, you know, they're paying for) and don't really care what people in Wisconsin want to do with schools in Wisconsin. And vice versa.
Well, that's still a scary set of permissions. Application can be fine, but one has to be really careful with the scripts from the untrusted sources. It's not hard to sneak something in a large enough file.

>Everything they're required to make public is already in the filings

We never really know that, ex ante. Everyone looks like they're reporting what they need to, until we find out they aren't. That's the point of asking questions.

But it isn't about requirements. It's a valid question, that was sidestepped by Musk (and here, apparently). Here it is for posterity: the pricing for the Model 3 was based on achieving scale and efficiency in battery production from the Gigafactory. With production bumped up two years, what effect will that have on pricing? If it's none, how is that achieved?

Sadly, things somewhat close to this already exist. A common "tough on crime" statement goes something like "well, they're getting 3 hot meals a day".

Surprisingly delightful read.

"Einstein’s second wife, Elsa Löwenthal, recalls in her memoirs that a moment before he went on stage in Stockholm to receive the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics, his by then very frail mother approached him holding a comb in her by then extremely arthritic hands. “There is nothing we can do about your head, Albert,” she said, kissing that head. “There is nothing I or anyone with the exception perhaps of God can do about your great big darling deformed head. But there is something we can do about your hair.”

"On Oct 18 the US company Genzyme announced it had formalised an agreement to acquire Cell Genesys for approximately US$350 million. This move follows an agreement by the pharmaceutical division of Japan Tobacco, the world's third-largest tobacco company, to purchase the rights to therapeutic and preventive lung-cancer vaccines under development by Cell Genesys and another American biotechnology company, Corixa. If the vaccines are approved, Japan Tobacco will find itself in the unusual position of marketing products that cause, prevent, and treat the same disease."

One of the positive attitudes shown in this survey is the acceptance of mixed race relationships.

I know that the 2011 census for England & Wales showed that it has one of the largest mixed race populations in Europe, and projections are that it will continue to grow.

For me this is a positive development - it shows that people mix with others of different ethnicities, and perhaps might also encourage people to be more open and tolerant of others.
The problem isn't manufacturers discontinuing drivers, it's that Apple changes the requirements for a driver to operate with each release of it's OS making it necessary for driver manufacturers to produce new or updated drivers.

For a company like HP or Canon with 10s of thousands of products in it's portfolio that's untenable, and with OSX only being a minuscule portion of their user base it becomes a huge waste of time and money.
curious why an inhaler is something that is required by an advanced society. I'm asthmatic, but aside from that relatively healthy (not overweight, exercise regularly, eat well-ish, no othe major medical conditions). While my asthma definitely isn't helped if I'm inhaling diesel fumes, I'm far more likely to haven an exercise induced attack.
I'm caught up in reading this as a novel and would like to point out a few observations (I'd say AMA but I'm not sure it would help):

- Someone pointed out this is like watching a train-wreck. It's disturbing yet you can't look away. I agree.

- It's very disjointed - I'm still not sure how the interleaving segments relate to each other (I have a few ideas). But the tone changes so much, it's almost hard to believe it's a coherent story. It's either brilliant writing or the writer needs medical help.

- It's offensive - I think the writer has touched every possible topic the politically correct crowd deems taboo. Most posts have at least one sentence that offends me.

And yet I can't stop reading it - it's not the sunk costs feeling you get with some books. Or the need to conquer a book that you feel at other times. Maybe it's a need for closure? If the individual threads are left hanging, we'll all end up unsatisfied.
