You're right. With some Googling, I learned that the FDA does indeed have a "Human Factors Pre-Market Review Process."[1]

But for EpiPen, it seems that the process didn't work, because 60% of consumers apparently can't use the device reliably. I hope that EpiPen is an anomaly, and not typical for FDA-approved lifesaving consumer medical devices.

DNS for the PSTN exists, e164.arpa; mostly not public though. It would be a slog to get it implemented, but if spammers are limited to spoofing international numbers or from rural carriers, that's still a win because I can ignore calls from out of the area.
Yeah but - 10W all getting radiated inside a single 12x12mm BGA package? Isn't that a lot? It sounds to me like that'd be running very hot...

I had a project with a Raspberry Pi2 which was only drawing ~2.5W all up (including the wifi dongle), and it got flaky when the sun shone on the case and got it a bit warm.

It would be great to hear a lawyer's take on this. It seems to me like section 2872 is relevant to this, since it requires that the assignment part of the contract explicitly disclaim any protected inventions per 2870, and that contract language is presumably what would be looked at during arbitration. But I am definitely not a lawyer.

EDIT: It also seems like you'd have to be really unlucky to get an arbitrator corrupt enough to go against the language in section 2870.
There is no supply side reason for the high price Mylan is charging for EpiPens. It is a couple bucks worth of materials (plus QA, distribution, and all that). The R&D costs have long since been amortized away to nothing.
Perhaps there wasn't a lawsuit, but rather this is an artefact of the organization the created it, in Northcote Parkinson style. That is to say, perhaps Sally, a middle manager in the NAFTA Bureau, Cyclicals Division, Building Materials Department, Fasteners Group, has five reports and each of them plays a vital role.

Godspeed, Sally.
The article mentioned they only had a dataset of 2,186 slides. Isn't this a _tiny_ dataset to do any learning on images? They also mentioned they blew up the predictors to over 10,000 features. This sounds like a recipe for overfitting to me. I can't access the actual paper (getting a 500 error), but does anyone know how they built these algorithms?

I've never used an auto-injector on myself before. I have used expired auto-injectors on oranges and potatoes to make sure that I have a "real feel" for how the hypodermic needle really injects. The trainer injectors certainly don't teach you what that is like!

Having said that, I would vastly prefer an auto-injector compared to a syringe + vial. I'm not sure if I would have the proper composure/state of mine, let alone the visual acuity (eyelids swell up real bad during anaphylactic shock) needed to operate a syringe and vial during an episode of anaphylactic shock.

In more controlled situations like at a school nurse's office, where the patient isn't the administering the epinephrine to themselves, I can see the syringe and vial solution to be appropriate.

While I probably wouldn't use such strong words, I absolutely agree. The daily standup/frequent performance review has disastrous effects on productivity with no discernible benefit. It appears to be something that management can do to cheaply create an illusion of managerial productivity.
> This would be very difficult to enforce for a wholesale carrier

Billing in telcos is important and has all the details you need. This is either information of who placed the call (if they're your customer) or which carrier the call came from (if they aren't). The only problem right now is that there's no reason for responsible behaviour. As soon as carriers are forced/want to say "stop sending us spam calls, or we stop taking your traffic" to both customers and other carriers, this will get sorted.

That is not how TSS is set up though. "Special" restores are heavily audited so many would be aware that it occurred. who knows how easy it would be to keep that contained.

Further, if people are paranoid of this, a crowdsource based mitm restore server could be setup (similar to saurik's) to watch the hashes and block restore + alert the user if a firmware file is about to be installed with a different hash than what it should be.
Perhaps because it actually costs more than $30 and so an edict such of this would guarantee that there are no EpiPens at all?

In any case, the current high price is the result of regulatory/legislative actions and so the current price is evidence of regulatory failure, not market failure.
As terrible as it is, it's rather ingenious.
I've never heard anyone call a lag bolt a screw, and yet they are pointed and never mated to nuts.
Yeah, for sure. It is interesting. Also copays vs deductible etc all seem to be ways to complicate coverage on purpose.
This reminds me of an issue I encountered when working in comms at a university. The security guards reported that their radios were not working - the tower which was supposed to repeat their radios between different campuses wasn't working, due to huge interference.

After a few hours trying to figure it out (not being RF folks) the security guards realised that the USS Kitty Hawk was in Fremantle harbour - and that this had happened last time the ship visited.

Somewhat unfriendly of that aircraft carrier to stomp all over civilian radio, but it might have been some interaction between the type of transmission tower (a large mast on the roof of the tallest building on the campus) and something they were doing (their radar?)

Approval and other decisions in the lifecycle of a drug (it's entire fate basically) are made by committees and panels of physicians primarily. The FDA does it's job well in my opinion and they use a panel system to make sure that no single pipeline / process ensnares a treatment:

This is also by far the #1 killer feature for me in Windows 10 Anniversary Update.

You can now use other Windows 10 PCs as wireless displays and project to them in any display configuration as long as they're on the same local network. It can also reroute audio output from the host to projected PCs, and even reroute input (mouse, keyboard, touchpad, touchscreen(!), pen(!), etc) from projected PCs back to the host.

From my experience so far it has worked impeccably well. There is a bit of input lag and the occasional compression artifact, so hardcore gaming is definitely out of the question, but it's more than good enough for regular media consumption and browsing.

I really can't wait to see something like this land in more OSes.
I was about to disagree with you but then I realized you're right. Yes, exactly, VR is just AR with the camera covered. It's a subset of the AR challenge, which is much more difficult.

So allow devices to be labeled as "FDA approved" or "not evaluated by the FDA". Customers who value the FDA approved status can purchase those products. Customers who are comfortable determining the efficacy of a product via other means can purchase the non-evaluated products.

If no one purchases the non-evaluated product then the market will have spoken and the non-evaluated products will disappear. On the other hand if the non-evaluated products are successful then the market will have provided a better product.
Didn't Pringles also argue that they were cakes?

There was also a case in Australia, where they was a court case over some fancy Italian crackers/bread, as to whether they were crackers or bread.

They had exactly the same ingredients as bread (probably not in the same proportions though), yet a slightly different process. [0]

This is why in New Zealand GST (goods and services tax) is a blanket tax on all goods and services provided in New Zealand. It's not worth the cost and overhead to start making rules and exceptions as to what consists a cake or bread.

For those who haven't had the pleasure: developing on Tensilica Xtensa cores generally means living within 128-256KB of directly-accessible memory; a windowed register file that makes writing your own exception handlers "interesting"; a 6-year-old GCC bolted to a proprietary backend; per-seat licensing fees to use the compiler; and a corporate owner that's only halfway interested in the ecosystem they now control.

So yeah, kind of wishing it would just die and let ARM take over the embedded space.
Coming from a law enforcement background, my guess is that there is no local statute that deals with it. It's a violation on the federal level, and the feds already declined to address it, so all the local cops can do is ask the business to replace their faulty equipment. Unless they have a local ordinance that specifically addresses the problem, their hands are tied.

Start giving a shit about what you think of you. If that's hard, it's because you've not really thought about it before. Once you've got your own back, nobody else really matters.

Also talk to people. Talk to them all the time. Standing in line at the store. Passing by on the street. Just make an observation about something to start the conversation. Compliment someone. Over time you'll get two things from this. First, you'll realize that everyone is just a person like you (like, the subconscious part of your brain will get the message). Second, you'll get a bunch of little rejections (weird looks, things like that) over time in a scenario where you basically have no skin in the game. You'll no longer care about rejection and you'll realize that people rejecting you almost never has to do with you - it has to do with them.

The images are 1-5 gb each. They tile them. Then they did some simple sorting (remove all tiles with lots of white), (emphasize tiles with lots of blue), then they did random forests, survival models and k-fold cross validation.

The test set is interesting: they used a completely unrelated dataset of tissue microarray spots. This are tiny, 1-2 mm circles. Whereas the TCGA images are full size tissue cassettes, up to 1" on the short side.

If not for laws and government-mandated standards, how would you go about making sure companies put the "correct" value on lives vs profits?

I can hope my neighbor is a decent human being and that he'll be a good neighbor when people around him are in need, but I personally won't blame him if he doesn't. Similarly, if he's being a nuisance - without breaking any laws - I still can't really expect him to stop (just because I value my peace more than he does) unless I do something to change the law. I can whine about it all day long and tell him it's "not OK", but if I don't do something to change the law (or move), then the only person I can really blame is myself. Blame is only useful so far as it actually has any "teeth" to improve the situation.

It comes down to this: we all want the world to be a better place. We can hope and expect everyone else to live up to our ideals (and complain when they don't), or just do our best to live that ideal ourselves. Anything serious enough to warrant restrictions or mandates on the behavior of others is probably within the realm of legislation.

> If there is a team of developers that just know Javascript and nothing else. Then perhaps it makes sense to have a Node.js project. Keep it small and internal.

If you have a team of developers that know just JavaScript and nothing else, you are probably dealing with 100% front-end developers that have little to no understanding of systems programming and what you need to do to be performant and secure outside of a browser.

This leads to a lot of issues with security in the Node.js ecosystem, and is one of the reasons I have a job.

Laugh what? It doesn't seem efficient.
A critical element of a free market is competition. Without competition you don't really have a fully functioning market mechanism at work.

So in that sense there is not a properly functioning market.

Comments in this discussion seem to fall into two categories:
1) free market has failed, lower the price via administrative fiat
2) free market doesn't exist, adjust regulations to encourage competition

One suggestion I have is to simply allow non-FDA approved devices to be sold but to be clearly labeled as not having been evaluated by the FDA. This would allow the market mechanism to put pressure on the FDA approved vendor. Re-thinking the FDA approval process is also a possibility, or even providing different types of FDA labeling (e.g., experimental, provisional, approved) based on different stages of the FDA process.

I was going to say the same thing about PHP. I was at a PHP shop who thought all their problems would be solved with NodeJS. They basically created the same problems in Node.

Yeah the idea of timing security messages like this only applies to "security messages that can wait", such as software or antivirus update prompts, performing scans (like this tools does), backup reminders, etc. Doesn't work for blocking security messages like browser security warnings or password-creation prompts.
