That presumes first class (or at least credible) payroll management, which, while there are probably instances of in the Restaurant Industry, is less common than one might hope. In practice, waitresses are paid their minimum server wage and are then on their own to scrounge up tips to make up the difference. For each case where we can find where a restaurant actually made up the difference in missing tips, we will likely also find several examples of where it doesn't happen.

And, while that "$7.25/hour" is OK in some place like Terre Haute, Indiana, It's destitute poverty in a lot of cities, so the societally agreed convention is that in order to live/pay groceries/utilities/bus-fare/etc... tips are essential.

It's reasonable to assume that when a serving person in the United Stated doesn't receive a tip of 18-20%, then that money is resulting in a reduction of expected baseline salary.
From what I understand, the way canaries are supposed to work is, you keep publishing a document every day / week / whatever, that includes a phrase like "Today is 2016-09-02, and we have not received any national security letters or gag orders".

When you receive an NSL, you either publish a document including the phrase "Today is 2016-09-03." or else simply stop publishing that document and leave the one with the old date up, and let people draw their own conclusions.

Under this scheme, the court would have to compel speech on your part (force you to publish a new canary), but there's some precedent that might indicate that you can tell them to stuff it.

I am guessing that the fact that they very visibly _see_ pollution might have something to do with it. Those that were in Beijing when things got bad with smog know -- after spending a day outside and coming home, you'd find your nose to have black debris. It's a really unsettling thing especially if you're not used to it. Beijing has gotten a lot better recently, the joke is that it's because the Politburo leaders mostly live in Beijing and if affects them the most.
It was in the sense of that kind of discussion probably not interesting to most people on HN.

I don't doubt you place IVs in sick patients, I only doubt those IVs make any difference. I am not very familiar with prehospital/EMT literature, and I don't know if any studies have been done, and I certainly don't have any hard data, but I do prefer when paramedics give aspirin, stick in a combi-tube, do basic stuff, and just rush the patient to the hospital instead of wasted time installing and IV on-site, giving fluids and what not. I've seen a great many "heart attacks" treated with fluids in full-blown congestive heart failure. This is anecdotal of course.

Again, for the 500 bolus, I am not aware of any literature to support it as a life-saving measure, and I do believe that if the patient is gonna code without a 500 bolus, he will code with a 500 bolus, too. We're talking of a previously healthy person suddenly dying here -- in those scenario fluid rarely makes a different unless its profuse bleeding, in which case 500 mL is not enough anyways.

The big problem I see with fluids, stethoscopes, IV benadryl, and the like, is that these things are DISTRACTIONS that make people waste their time trying to get a blood pressure when its obvious the patient's in shock (or equally obvious he isn't). A quick, focused history and exam + Epi + AED + Albuterol are the real life-savers and where the emphasis should be on.

This is a hugely important point that people seem to miss. The US government is huge and frequently gets things wrong, and when they do, it's a political failure to admit it later. Furthermore, there's no real punishment for anyone that screwed up. That's a problem, and that's why fixing this is so hard.

I usually fly with Singapore Airlines. The service is always exceptional. One time (out of about a dozen trips) the flight was cancelled due to engine issues. After explaining I had a conference to attend and the next flight would mean missing one out of three days, they booked me an United ticket and offered me some points as an apology for the "inferior service". It was.

Jokes aside, this 2014 article explains much of the rationale for keeping a state of emergency active. It preauthorizes certain actions, including the ability for the president to reorganize the military and appoint additional generals beyond the number set by law for non-emergency situations. Given political climates where Congress can hold up seemingly minor changes as a political tool, it's not unreasonable for the executive branch to maintain flexibility when things can militarily change on the ground with barely any warning. The scoping, however, is vague, and there should certainly be more guidelines and oversight for the state of emergency itself, than there are now.

And, for context, we remain in a state of emergency with respect to Iran since the hostage crisis, some 36 years later.

Nitroglycerin has a fairly short half life and doesn't love being exposed to air. Aspirin like any drug has a shelf life but not an unusually short one. Masks etc are going to have an expiration but unless the package is damaged are likely fine. Airways being invasive require closer management. Tetracycline is one of the few drugs that I am aware of that most practitioners will not use past expiration because of reports in the literature that old tetracycline caused kidney damage.

There are well defined SOPs in healthcare for when a sealed kit is opened. It is taken out of service, restocked, QCd, and returned to service. There was no mention of O2 administration in this article but the oxygen kit also requires routine checks and maintenance.

>We can do the math if we want. Perhaps it will take 50% of the Military budget. Perhaps people earning more than 50k will need to pay a new tax that is more or less equal to what they currently pay in health insurance premiums. The math can be made to work.

It's the handwaving that's the frustrating part. What amount of the military budget is it? How are you going to charge me a new tax equivalent to my current healthcare that's going to cover me and at least one other person (just under half in the country actually pay income tax). That still sounds like magic thinking. Taxes would have to go up, how could they not? Or you gut the military, and even then I don't think it would necessarily be enough. Add in the push to completely ignore illegal immigration, and accord them the rights of citizens, and agree with that policy or not, you have to acknowledge the cost will go up even more.

It's easy to handwave the numbers. It happens a lot, but it's not a trivial detail. It has real consequences. What happens when the US Navy is no longer patrolling trade routes? Or when younger generations are crushed by a combination of increased tax burden and school loan debt?
I think this is a clear case where a pharmaceutical shouldn't be produced at all. Rehabs should be able to distribute the botanical which is already helping thousands of addicts. It will never happen because there is no profit in marketing vegetables.

I strongly suspect this move to ban kratom is related to growing profitability in the US market of subutex as a dependence treatment. Unlike a botanical subutex is readily abused, often intravenously.

Manufacturers and the FDA know from basic epidemiology that prescriptions of all opiates far outpace the diseases they are indicated to treat. I have to believe somewhere on someone's email there is hard evidence pharma knowingly promotes abuse.

Oh geez, you're giving me flashbacks to trying to introduce Github to non-technical students. I basically just don't even try to explain the difference, because I have them use a minimal set of git's functionality, that is, the subcommands add, commit, and push...and of course, clone and init at the beginning of the quarter.

And I teach them virtually nothing about Github other than that it's a website that you interface with git. For me, Github is a great place to get students to push their assignments and papers because I can easily comment on them...once in awhile I'll do a force push to fix something. We never do anything with forking, and I strongly discourage them from using the Github web interface to edit documents, as that is the most frequent cause of merge conflicts.

If they follow what I say, git and Github are just glorified document-uploading systems. I've almost never had a student fuck up in a way that we had to rollback something, because for the most part, people who don't use version control as their job don't need it. Version control is only particularly relevant when working in a team, doing iterative work, or deploying to multiple environments. These are things that students do not need to worry about.

And actually, even the comsci students don't really need to worry about it.

If I do attempt to explain the difference between git and Github, I usually use the analogy of git is to Github as your cameraphone is to Instagram.

I wouldn't worry as much about how to get people to notice security, browser vendors are on the right track by popping up giant notices for insecure sites and sites with malware.

They just need to extend the "untrusted download" concept from operating systems to email where you could have "untrusted link" warnings in your browser instead. "Are you sure you want to visit paypal.28753272.server? You really shouldn't trust this link..."

> The attendants were more than helpful

Probably worth noting two things here:

1.) In the United States disobeying any of flight crew (including flight attendants) is a federal crime.

2.) The pilot-in-command has the ultimate authority on the flight. If it is a life and death situation and you're getting static from someone, escalate to the PIC. You won't make any friends, but you may save a life.
I'm sorry, but I'm not aware of any airline stocking combitubes[1] or similar easy airways (or at least an i-gel LMA). A Guedel can be useful sometimes, but that's it.

Unless you have a rare scenario where you've got an anesthesiologist/experienced paramedic, it is completely unrealistic to expect a random doctor to be able to use anything else.

Aurora is a modified MySQL 5.6.10. It shares several bugs with 5.6.10 that have already been fixed in later versions of MySQL. My understanding is that it mostly remains unchanged other than the massive enhancements Amazon has made to the I/O performance.

In HN, the headline currently reads:

Latest Intel, AMD chips will only run Windows 10 and Linux, BSD, OS X

But on thereg it reads:

Latest Intel, AMD chips will only run Windows 10... and Linux, BSD, OS X

The ellipsis implies that Intel's and AMD's chips run other OSes too. In fact, according to thereg, they'll run "homebrew kernels", which I'm glad for. I don't want to be limited to Windows and Unix-derivatives. I agree with commenter jcbeard that the headline should be changed to "Windows 10 is the only Windows OS that will support latest processors", or something similar.

Can anyone offer an explanation of why the shuttle used a horizontal launch stack (booster alongside the orbiter) instead of a vertical launch stack (booster beneath the orbiter) like every other launch vehicle I know of?

We've switched 6 or 7 of our production databases to Aurora now. It is much faster than MySQL/Percona Server. Even highly optimized MySQL installs with FusionIO cards struggled to keep up before we switched to Aurora.

Aurora is expensive, but it's a huge instant speedup and easily worth the cost for anyone with a production application that occasionally hits performance limitations on traditional MySQL.

That said, it is based on MySQL 5.6.10, so we are missing some features like online DDL from 5.6.17. Many bugs from 5.6.10 have been resolved upstream but are still present in Aurora. [0] It's also subject to the usual limitations of RDS (no SUPER, no access to the binary database files, no innobackupex).

The only way for the stewardess to check if a customer can sit in the exit row is to ask, "Are you willing and able to help passengers in the event of an emergency?" If the customer has no obvious outward appearance that might cause an issue, there's no way to know. The person in question in the exit row had a syncopal episode; syncope is defined on Wikipedia as, "Syncope, also known as fainting, is defined as a short loss of consciousness and muscle strength, characterized by a fast onset, short duration, and spontaneous recovery." Having diabetes doesn't disqualify you from being an in exit row.

Your other critiques are warranted; the lead FA shouldn't have acted the way the story portrays her to, and the medical kit was woefully understocked.

As an aside, do you think that because it's Delta it makes it worse? Why would American or United or Southwest or Allegiant or Silver or any other airline be intrinsically better? This was a lapse in judgement for not having the medical kit stocked, possibly a large one, but one particular organization isn't necessarily worse than any other.
I really want to know what was going on in the one flight attendant's head. I mean, I'd actually like to hear it from her. It's possible that she's actually a horrible, soulless bureaucrat by nature, but I'd like to think that something else--fatigue, life circumstances--was messing with her and causing her to make really stupid decisions just then.
The actual molecule is not.

In medical use you don't use pure nitroglycerin; you typically dilute it with other stuff. For example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitroglycerin_(drug)#/media/Fi... shows that the IV solution is 40mg of nitroglycerin per 100 mL of solution, or about .04% by mass. I doubt it's very explodey.

Of course even if you want to explode stuff you normally don't use pure nitroglycerin either, because it's _too_ explodey. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamite#Form dynamite is 20-60% nitroglycerin nowadays. Still a lot more than 0.04%.

I've had delta do the same for me (would have been stuck waiting overnight for another delta flight). Must just be about making the urgency clear.
Is there anything great (even if potentially pricey) for ICR (individual handwritten characters, usually separated by boxes) or handwriting? Preferably as a service.
Along with not stocking medical equipment, didn't Delta's data center just go down?
If EMS in your area is starting IVs and pushing fluids on scene, then yeah, that's an issue. Plenty of time to do that in the truck. My primary goal is to gather all clinically relevant information I can, establish any needed access (airway, IV, or otherwise), and stabilize any life threats. In short, to set up the ED doc with the best chance of success (a patient with all the 'prep' taken care of, and a good, clear picture of what's going on.

I do think you're focusing too much on the dying/not dying distinction. There is a pretty wide range in the middle, and much can be done to help those patients (even if it's only to improve their comfort and reduce anxiety). There are a lot of patients who aren't going to die in the next couple hours who would still benefit from one or more of the interventions available on an aircraft (including a 500cc bolus).

"Lots of fluid" really isn't generally the standard of care for severe hemorrhage anymore. 500 mL may indeed be enough (if it's not enough, they're gonna bleed out anyway).

I agree 100% that any provider dealing with a medical emergency on an aircraft (or anywhere else) should be looking at the patient, first and foremost, and not rummaging through a medical kit...
Aurora is part of RDS. It's just a different DB instance type.
> but faster acting, no?

Not really. Even regular tablets begin to act in 20 min, even faster with the sublingual ones.

> Seems like a good idea for anaphylactic shock?

A very bad one, actually. Some people might want to give an antihistamine first (completely useless in anaphylaxis, by the way), and see what happens, instead of going straight to epi.

When you cannot know the provider's experience, its better to assume for the worse, and give one, and one only choice = EPI.
It's like any time there's a non-story that any one of them spin into some controversial click-bait they all have to follow suit to avoid being scooped. Journalistic integrity for internet news sites seems to be at an all time low.

I fly Delta all the time (including internationally). I hear this anecdote that the US airlines are so much worse, so I have to ask. How are foreign airlines that much better?

My delta flights are almost always on time and are usually a little early. The only big delays I've experienced are because of weather, which all airlines experience. The international meals are fine, as in, I wouldnt pay any more money to get a better meal.
After having used windows 10 for about a year, I feel confident in saying that if you don't want to use Windows 10, it is better to switch to Linux or something else you like, than using clearly inferior versions of windows. Most people want to stick with 7 just because of nostalgia, and it's good that intel is cutting them off.

Shanghai is bad but still better than Beijing/Hebei on most days. Shenzhen is better than most of northern China on most days. But they still have very few days where the 2.5 ppm is below 100, even if they never have crazy bad 500+ days like northern China. Still ain't suited to much living. The pollution situation is not overstated by the western media, as anyone living in eastern China who isn't a heavily biased wumao can easily attest.
