As a graduating medical student doing a surgical prelim, I'm certainly not looking forward to 28 hour work days. I think what many don't realize is that day-to-day medicine is super low-tech.

It's too late for you, but I wrote an essay called "Why you should become a nurse or physicians assistant instead of a doctor: the underrated perils of medical school" (https://jakeseliger.com/2012/10/20/why-you-should-become-a-n...) to warn people about what med school and residency is really like—and to tell them that there are good alternatives!

Living with someone who went through the process led me to write the essay.

We've continually raised the price on our product as we grow and add features. It was nerve wracking at first, but now are confident enough in our product that we feel good standing behind our pricing.

We are targeting larger, more stable customers, and have historically found the ones that say our pricing is too expensive are the ones that require much more support and maintenance. Have no issue seeing them go to cheaper competitors - while our target clients don't bat an eye at our pricing (which is still probably too low for that segment).
Do most hospitals not have an ADFS instance floating about somewhere?

>$500 would be a crazy motivator, especially for the ex-military types who were drifting around after the service.

What, exactly, is that supposed to mean?
This would be news to me.

US 401k / IRA accounts can, and do, buy stocks in a variety of markets, whether directly or through instruments such as NYSEARCA:VEU (also available as the mutual funds VFWAX and VFWIX.) I'm not aware of any special reason why foreign-traded ETFs would get special treatment that foreign-traded stocks don't?
These 28-hour shifts are unique to healthcare in the United States.
As someone who got out of the hospital recently after a couple weeks in, I see the continuity of care argument. I had a lot of doctors in my time there, and the left hand really didn't know what the right hand was doing. I spent an extra 4 days in because one of my doctors thought the other doctor was going to write the discharge order, and vice versa.
Yeah, it's illegal. You're hurting people. It sucks, all around.

But you have to eat, your family does as well. You need a place to live (electricity, water, gas - all those things cost).

It comes down to "How do your ethics compare to underlying ability of yourself and family to live?

And then, it's even worse when your family == family business crooks. You have no out.
Agreed, I actually checked investoepdia and a government issue seems to be part of the agreed upon "modern" definition it seems.
Thank you so much. I will remove the link in 10 minutes.
> Doctors apparently don't make mistakes that can hurt people.

They can, but it turns out that the handoff points can themselves be more problematic than the effects of working for 28 hours. They did lots of published research which showed that, which is why this policy change is even happening.

Also, a 28 hour shift doesn't mean that the doctor is working (or even awake) the entire time - they're on-shift, but there are periods of downtime. It's not necessarily 28 hours of constant activity.

No it's not.

If I'm actively engaging in something, and there's the option to specify (note: not be interrupted by a pop-up) for location, manually input, that's within the realm of acceptability.

Though it's distantly possible I might have no idea of my location within, say, a 1km resolution at a point in time, that is an exceptionally distant and rare likelihood for me. And I've no interest in leaving a set of high-time-resolution location tracking datapoints across a slew of data repositories and "information partners".
With Firefox, I got to over 600 tabs on my 2011 Dell desktop (Core i5-2500) with 4GB of RAM. Because of "lazy loading", I'd guess that only about 40 or 50 were actually loaded.

RAM use varies from about 1GB to 2.5GB. It slows down above that, which you can only solve by restarting the browser.

I bought another 8GB so I reckon my 2011 machine will be good for another few years. It should last a decade, really.

Improving the handoff seems like a much more tractable problem than eliminating mistakes caused by fatigue.
I'd say that's a good argument for fixing whatever the flaws are in the handoff process that make it even worse than 28-hour shifts.
Well Google should be more aggressive but that would be hypocritical of them as they do this stuff themselves to the little guys with no money only a dream/gumption(met with them in 2013 to discuss my audio syncing across multiple devices tech.. it was like that Silicon Valley episode but worse) to im sure their wealthy competitors.
That's a brilliant plan. Lets wipeout thousands of jobs and billions in investment equity because... you know "karma". And for what? Because they have to play hardball in a field drowning in entrenched money interests?

As for this particular case, I have to say it seems a little strange to me that Anthony Levandowski could just leave Google and start his own company, Otto, with Google's intellectual property. No one complained then. But when Uber buys Otto, now it's a problem. One has to wonder who is playing who exactly?
> Do most hospitals not have an ADFS instance floating about somewhere?

Good luck getting all of the signoff and political buy-in required to get set up with that.

You could spend 18 months running around to convince someone to do ten minutes of work to bring you online, and I'm not exaggerating.
Thanks for that. I know that the inode structure doesn't, or at least didn't return this, for a long time (occupational hazard: outliving your education's "best used by" date). Which was why I'd already edited the initial "most" to "many" describing filesystems above (prior to posting).

I'll still maintain it's not universally available on filesystems. And is unreliable (many allow changing this value, see, e.g., touch(1)). And that unallocated space lacks filesystem metadata.
>the handoff points can themselves be more problematic than the effects of working for 28 hours.

Handoffs are dangerous so longer shifts make sense...but 28 hrs is way too long. People are pretty much walking zombies at that point.

That has a critical and hard to prove caveat: that at the time of the filing it was known what that 'best mode' was. And since parameters (such as the ones under discussion) are subject to change that could be very difficult, it involves the 'state of mind of the inventor at the time of filing'.

So, since 2012 this is now a requirement.

I've found two examples of this successfully used in litigation, they are referenced here:

Solution: allow more people to become doctors.
> 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.

According to empirical research, that is actually more dangerous for you, because the handoff points are most likely to introduce errors.

It's counterintuitive, but that's something that both providers and peer-reviewed medical journals agree on.
Different models. OP was talking about the new 9365 (2 in 1), not the 9360.

>What does a lawyer do on a daily basis at a tech company?

Come up with new and exciting ways of saying "No" to product managers.
This is a really good question. I have made a few web services and never had a good answer. Always felt like guess work. My instinct was to try to answer this question: How expensive is the problem my product solves? You start from there and then go down because customers are not going to perceive or feel that cost equally. So even if I make a tool that could save someone weeks of work or replace some existing $500 standard solution, I may still only charge $20 for it.

I agree with the sentiment that it's better to start higher and then come down though. You really are in a sense picking your audience. This is why I am very cautious about "free" services. It isn't just the fear of how the company might actually be trying to monetize by selling my data or using ads. Rather it's fear of the sort of community attracted by the promise of free stuff.
> Medical errors are the 3rd leading cause of death. Didn't that wake them up to make it less error prone, not more?

It did. And they did the research, and they found that frequent handoffs introduce more errors than longer shifts do. So, they're taking action to address that.
It assumes you actually want something to change and not just complain and be a Homer ("Can't someone else do it?").
Bitcoin is a better medium of exchange than gold. It's trivially divisible, it can be checked against fraud and counterfeiting with a quick electronic test, and it can be sent around the world in minutes without the expenses usually associated with armed escort. If you're paying some random person in Venezuela a two or three figure sum, Bitcoin is better than gold, and probably more anonymous.

Gold is probably a better store of value than bitcoin. It's not a great one, mind you (the price is still too volatile). Its security can also be assured with physical protections that are easier for a layman to understand than bitcoin's electronic protections. Bitcoin has a small but nonzero chance of a total collapse in its value which gold will not face until widespread exploitation of asteroid-based mineral resources is commonplace.

Neither are effective units of account.
And for a target of interest, given quantum computing, it would not really provide any real protections. I could see how recalculating the key would be well worth it, if you really want the data.
So what happens when the resident gets sick or run over by a bus 6 hours into a 24 hour patient?

No no, this is not at all how to go about this. Every cog in patient care needs to be replaceable within minutes or the whole system is just headed for disaster. Whats the policy? Whats the procedure? Wheres that evaluation?

(No need to comment on the smallest violin of the world playing for the business owner of 1) who would rather exploit residents to get more work out of them instead of stopping to admit patients)

> Improving the handoff seems like a much more tractable problem

You'd think, but it's a lot harder than it looks, and I'm speaking from experience.

In the meantime, they're going back to a solution that they know works, because in this case it's literally what they used to do before and what they already do for all other residents, and it has a lower failure rate.

All they're doing here is reverting a failed experiment in response to the measurable, documented problems it introduced.

San Francisco Travel – where to stay and how to get around?
Any time you see a policy in the medical world (or elsewhere) that appears completely irrational and nuts, ask yourself one question:

Does this policy increase medical industry revenue?

With the exception of instant death to the patient, medical errors always increase revenue.
My understanding is that on the fly code loading is still allowed if (1) the loaded code is written in, or compiled to, JavaScript, and (2) no native hooks it can call allow it to call arbitrary native functions by name, which was being misused to access hidden/proprietary APIs that could break during updates. Which makes sense if Apple wants to guarantee "our updates won't get blamed for broken apps as long as our public APIs are backwards compatible."
> I'd say that's a good argument for fixing whatever the flaws are in the handoff process that make it even worse than 28-hour shifts.

That's a good idea. Do you know what those flaws are, and how to fix them?

I'm not being sarcastic - there's a whole lot of money that's been poured into this over the last few decades, and it's not easy.

While we wait for someone to figure out the answer, in the meantime, it's reasonable for providers to go back to the policy that empirically produced lower rates of medical errors, which we know because that's what was standard practice up until a few years ago, and it already is standard practice for all other residents.
This 24-hour cycle only works for the small fraction of patients who come in right when your shift starts. For everyone else you're still getting a limited perspective.

As other people mentioned, this really seems like treating the symptom (poor continuity of care), not the problem (ineffective ways of communication and training).

I loosely followed Ori Hofmekler's Warrior Diet (20-hour fast with coffee/tea, lots of water and occasional fruits + 4-hour eating window in the afternoon) for about a year. I noticed a considerable boost on my ability to focus on mental tasks (it's like the mind becomes "cristal clear"). On the other hand, it proved to be daunting whenever I had to do serious physical labour.

I'm also a somewhat experienced Vipassana practicioner. An annoying thing I noticed with regard to meditation was that since Hofmekler's diet is essentially about "overeating" at night, both late night and early morning meditations became much harder for me.

Intuitively I still feel that Hofmekler has got many things right. It's actually surprisingly easy to follow after about 5-6 days of adjustments.

Here's an article on the method by Hofmekler:

Ask HN: How do I start my own consulting firm?
I work as a senior frontend developer in a company and have experience with backend stuff and devops, learning new things constantly. My colleague and friend is the team lead of our team at that company (10 members in the frontend department). Before working in the company I had a long successful path as a 100% remote freelancer (7 years of work).

The stuff we now work on in the company is quite complex - a realtime trading platform with tons of inner components, complex logic, large codebase. To me seems like we got quite experienced and gained precious expertise by the moment. We have the ability to extend our expertise to other fields as well.

Now I feel like my career path now is to establish something on my own and work on a product.

I talked to my colleague about his will to join me as a partner in growing our own business and it looks like we are on more or less the same page about what we want and should do.

Here is my plan:

1. Do preliminary research. Prepare the basement in form of a site with portfolio, our focus, expertise and articles.

2. Start looking for projects online to work on for companies as a contractor team. I will bring us some coins for the first time.

3. Setup the business processes and make the workflow stable and profitable.

4. Keep working as a team for clients and start working on our product ideas.

5. Switch from contract work to our products gradually.

Here are my questions:

- Willing to find projects for a small team (2-4 members) of developers/designers should I look for larger projects in a different way?

- How do I identify that a company might be in need of a team like ours? I don’t want to spam everybody trying to catch a project.

- Should I prioritize our online sales channels over local ones?

- Should I partner up with firms like ours? Contact them and show our offer so that they could be interested in subcontracting with us?

- Should we have mentors/coaches?

- Should I hire a salesperson to look for projects?
