I see one in the article, which is wanting a single doctor to consistently be available through a course of treatment. But I don't see how 24 hours guarantees that any more than 16.

I for one would rather my doctor worked 8 hours, went to bed for 8, and returned for the third (or 4th) 8 hours than that they be on their feet trying to keep their eyes open for 24 hours straight and remember everything that I and 20 other patients have said to them or undergone in the last 24 hours.

Would you rather have your surgeon hand the scalpel off to another doctor, or have them proceed while so fatigued as to be drunk?

And in case you didn't notice, the article also points out the dangers of fatigue, just with the journalistic integrity that suppresses the expression of the outrage that those of us who aren't journalists should all be responding with.

TLS implements PFS (perfect forward secrecy) by generating an ephemeral asymmetric key pair for the session, usually through DH. In other words, breaking the session key pair will only reveal the plaintext of the current session for the current client. No previous communication is broken, so the NSA would have to traverse the history for each client.

Yeah, I absolutely agree that the immunity that various actors in the justice system enjoy, both legally and extra-legally, is absurd and a huge problem.

I'm also saying: we need to take accusations from these people with a grain of salt. They're wrong a huge part of the time.

I am a surgery resident. This "rule" only applied to first year residents, and was started in 2011. There in fact is a study being conducted where one arm of first year residents follows the 16 hour max and another follows the 28 hour max. It seems the results from this trial suggest the 16 hour max is detrimental to learning, hand-off logistics and scheduling.

Regardless, after your first year, no matter what program or specialty, 28 hour calls become the norm. As a second year surgery resident for example, you can plan on taking a 28 hour call two or three times a week. This is just how it is. For two main reasons:

1) There are not enough of us for everyone to get 8 hours of sleep a night. People can debate why or ways we should fix this, whether it's widening scope of practice for nurse practitioners or decreasing our pay so there is more of us, but logistically there are not enough residents to keep everyone well rested.

2) There is physiological relevance to a 24 hour cycle in many diseases. For example, if a patient comes in with a bowel obstruction, the process of observation, lab evaluation, imaging, +\- surgery takes sometimes 24 hours. 12 is sometimes not enough to appreciate the full evolution of acute disease.

Big topic here. My experience is anecdotal and limited. Why they did a big study to see what was best. Still, it only applies to first years.
Are you describing something like IFTTT or Zapier?
Basically, you can do 64 bit calculations on a 16 bit traditional computer, it just takes more steps and some RAM. However, to do 64 bit quantum calculations you need a 64 quibit quantum computer. Now, we may be able to build a 64 QC, bout even that is useless for real world encryption. Further, it while it does not take more time to run a 64vs 4096 quibit QC, it does become exponentially harder to build.

Sort of like trying to measure a building to the nearest inch is harder than nearest foot, and every added digit of accuracy is even harder.

Wait, what? The story says this and then nothing more about it. What do we know about this? Where are these lists?
I only see one -- a personal continuity of care argument ("Patients want to know 'you are the doctor taking care of them,' Kothari says.").

If that's true, I think it's kind of fascinating. I'd certainly like to know that there is someone who is taking enough interest in me as a patient that they consider themselves ultimately accountable for providing or coordinating a professional standard of care. But I don't need that person to be the personal face of that care all the time, and frankly, it's ridiculous to assert the system behaves that way now. And I definitely want to know that person is operating without cognitive impairments, and definitely don't think "continuity" means "one person."

I'm sure there's realities of actually doing the work that I don't understand, and I also know that handing off information and coordinating people is far from trivial (I know that we're really not all that good at it in software, a profession where for anything to work at all you have to pass around carefully encoded instructions). I just don't understand the given argument.

Also, I see at least one professional counterargument in the article.
Actually, the signature checks would have to be done by an external hardware component, or maybe through something like ARM TrustZone. Otherwise, the attacker could disable or manipulate the checks when installing the malware.

So it's up to the phone manufacturers to implement; Google would never be able to implement this in a truly secure fashion, even if they knew all the software installed on the phone a priori.

On a related note, I know that Cisco wants something like this for their hardware, but at runtime instead of just on-boot.

HIPAA's probably the least of your concerns. Any feed like that would have to integrate with whatever EMR/Surgery information/Scheduling/HL7 Interface solution(s) your hospital uses, none of which are the same or even remotely resemble each other. Your system would become yet-another-password to remember unless hospital IT would be willing to let you join the domain or group, which likely means you'd need to support on-prem installations.

In principle you are right. It would be nice if every app was sandboxed, even apps distributed outside the Mac App Store. But in practice the Sandbox has a few issues that make it unusable for many use cases:

- There is no way to provide automatic software updates for sandboxed apps. For Mac App Store apps, that doesn't matter (MAS takes car of updates), but for apps distributed outside the MAS, this is pretty much a deal breaker.

- Many technologies are not available for sandboxed apps, eg. shared memory. This makes it hard hard to distribute some popular software on the Mac App Store (eg. PostgreSQL)

- Unix Socket Connections outside the sandbox are not possible. This makes connecting with a lot of services (eg. SSH Agent) impossible.

- the whole sandbox mechanism is buggy, poorly documented, poorly supported, and error logging in insufficient.

I currently distribute a sandboxed app outside the Mac App Store, and I'm considering to remove the sandbox for the above reasons.

Yes. That also lets you use multiple mailboxes with no extra overhead.

Another option is to keep a separate browser for Google sites, and close it after scanning Gmail. That also helps you limit email to three or maybe four sessions per day, which means you can do real work without the mostly pointless interruptions.
Have a look at mas (https://github.com/mas-cli/mas) for automated Mac App Store manipulation from the command line.
That's not really the case. OTP requires a large amount of perfectly unbiased randomness, implicitly from a hardware randomness source (otherwise what you have is more accurately a stream cipher).

Contrast with deriving a key using cryptographic primitives, which can accept low-quality randomness (as long as there is sufficient entropy), that can be easily and transparently collected.
"All of time" is maybe overstating my ambition, and "non-evil" was not the best choice of title. You're not wrong, though.
Interview for the last job I held (back office agent at a call center):

Foreign language test with grammar, vocabulary, reading comprehension and mock customer service email sections followed by a most ordinary interview in English (some chatting to break the ice and salary discussion at the end) Very efficient process. Other similar businesses interviewed the same only with just the mock email instead of a comprehensive language test.

Last interview so far (tech support at a small VoIP software company):

Take what is colloquially referred to as the "retard test" (company is proudly unPC) which included general trivia like "First person in space" (some applicant apparently answered with Louis Armstrong), a middle school level math word problem and some brainteasers (thank you, Professor Layton) followed by some very intense technical grilling scaled to my self reported knowledge level (I admitted domestic level networking knowledge and got quizzed on the most common settings of a consumer router). That was followed by even more intense culture fit questions to find out if I can thrive in the company's peculiar environment (got referred so I knew in advance what it's like to work there, but still I found it a bit too prying) Unlike the call centers, the tech company interviewers were very distrustful and pretty much expected to not find a word of truth on my resume.
You are missing the point of this conversation completely.
"To protect themselves from regular and pre-installed malware, users should implement advanced security measures capable of identifying and blocking any abnormality in the device’s behavior.".

From what I understand, free trade allows for unparalleled wealth creation by optimizing the flow and utilization of capital, which is fantastic! The problem is that it optimizes other things too, like labor costs by taking advantage of countries with incredibly low minimum wages, workplace safety standards, and standards of living. Meanwhile, the increased profit doesn't go to the society impacted by the transfer of these jobs, but rather to the capital owners, thus exacerbating wealth inequality. So yes, free trade does create more wealth than non-free trade, but it's not to the benefit of the society losing the jobs.

> I mean, dozens of people must have been involved in this scheme. Why didn't anybody of them say, hey, I'm not going to be a part of this? I'm going to report this?

It two completely different level of effort and involvement.

Saying "I'm not going to be a part of this" means you step away and brush your hands clean.

Saying "I'm going to report this" requires much more effort. If you personally know someone working there it's even more difficult as you'd be intentionally ratting out your friend/colleague/family.

1) Is a problem with efficiency not people.

If you design things for people to be horribly incompetent due to sleep deprivation, then going through the same process while awake probably produces similar results. However, a shorter work day would mean you could use different processes.
The Challenge of Making Things
Have you seen the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy? Some articles are too technical to read without a background, but many are good for anyone: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/compatibilism/.

Here's my take, which is slightly different in emphasis than the SEP one (which I guess means I am probably wrong/idiosyncratic):

Compatibilism is a metaphysical theory. What is counter-intuitive about the free will debate is that there are two entwined but distinct questions.

The first is (roughly) what is the full physical/causal/predictive/descriptive* story about human decision making. Is it deterministic? Almost deterministic but with some random noise? Something else?

Second, given that description, do we have free will? That is a metaphysical question, though many people are interested because they believe that there are ethical implications (compare: whether God exists is a metaphysical or perhaps empirical question, but it might have some ethical implications).

Compatibilism is primarily an answer to the second question. It says roughly "you might have thought free will means not being determined, but that is an illusion. Actually, free will is completely compatible with determinism. It is something like being able to act on the things that you take to be reasons, even if it's fully deterministic which things you think are reasons."

Talking about free will as a physical phenomenon (which is not quite what I'd describe Aaronson as doing) typically indicates that you've assumed some answer to the second question, so that you're only considering the first.

Btw: one point of view is that the first question makes sense, but the second doesn't. I don't have a developed opinion, as I didn't really work on this topic when I studied philosophy, but I lean that way.

* (none of these terms is perfect, and there's lots of debate about the right characterization here)
In the tech support world, customer hand off is essentially a solved problem - they use ticket systems. Yes, alot of the software used is in-house developed trash, and alot of companies (Comcast is probably the best known example of this) are full-on negligent in regards to training support techs, but again, we know how to, and in many places do, do way better.
Dropbox de-duplicates your files with other users who have the same ones, and are capable of serving them all to you through a web site.

Exactly. As a user, these are the reasons I prefer the [Mac/iOS] App Store, more or less in order of importance:

• On every new computer/device, I don't want to visit multiple sites and separately download every app that I use/prefer to keep available.

• Likewise for updates.

• I don't like obnoxious developers being "too smart"; There are things that I do not want apps to be able to do by default, on any of my devices, and I don't want you to attempt them unless I unambiguously allow each specific action.

• I prefer to look in one place for new apps and games.

• I prefer to link my payment and personal info to as few places as possibles.

However, I definitely agree that both the Mac and iOS App Stores suck at discoverability, the MAS especially so. It's baffling that such high profile storefronts are missing many basic filters in 2017.
I definitely fall prey to this extreme type of thinking. I consider it a form of naive idealism – believing there is always one maximally correct solution. This is why solutions such as Soylent are so appealing to me. Perhaps the cause is simply a lack of in-depth knowledge and experience in the areas for which I'm seeking a perfect solution, or maybe it's related to being on the spectrum.
> That's exactly what "preinstalled" means.

Eh, "preinstalled" isn't specific enough. I interpreted it similarly to some of the other folks in the thread, that it meant installed by my mfgs. But whether "preinstalled" is that specific or not is mostly a moot point, since it's apparent that the wording of the title isn't sufficiently precise.
But what would the world be without carts before horses?

No, but seriously - this isn't (entirely) a delaying tactic before diving in, this is me actually getting to the point where I will soon be diving in, and wanting to feel more competent about what it means to have a company that's more than just me. I've put a lot of thought into how to solve my technical problems, because that's what I do - but soon, like within three years, I'm going to be in the position to make decisions that will affect human beings who aren't my family. I'd like to think I have the competence to do that right. But I don't.

Fortunately, I still have some technical problems to work out before I can make a credible start on the business per se! So I can kick that can down the road a little, and hopefully read and think some more about these things that worry me.

If the intention was to learn how to work with servers and experiment with Ansible and Caddy, that's fine. Otherwise hosting a static site on a VPS is just overkill, from the initial setup process for a VPS (ssh config, unattended upgrades, firewall) followed by installing Caddy and using Ansible.

It's easier (and free) to just host it on Github pages or Gitlab pages and use Cloudflare as a proxy.
