The argument I've heard is also in the article, "the change will enhance patient safety because there will be fewer handoffs from doctor to doctor." I've been told studies have shown this--of course there's a limit. I thought that limit was 16 hours (the previous max listed in the article). I'm sure handoff procedures also affect this. When our first son was born the nurses would come in and verbally handoff in front of my wife so she could clarify and confirm things (unless something critical was happening). You could see the nurses scribbled notes before handoff and they were diligent in recording things in their computer system.

On the business side, are doctor's paid hourly? I imagine having fewer doctors paid overtime would be cheaper overall. At least in other professions after 12 hours they get paid double-time.

The key is to find paths that happen in the master process, not the workers.
This is what we do in 24/7 network operations centers - so issues can be cleanly handed off between shifts.

However I don't think the additional staffing costs will fly, you're talking a hugely substantial increase if you were to enforce this - more than 25%, since current staffing levels are so thin.

I can't help but wonder if the comments defending Google's strategy are from paid folks (shills, I suppose). The vast majority of comments are hating on the strategy and then there's a few who are lambasting everyone else and claiming that wanting a single chat app out of Google is paramount to "wanting an app which does everything." Perhaps their Google employees? This is high stakes so I'd expect some attempt to control the damage (I.e., "shape" the conversation).

These studies have been done, but they're basically worthless: they look at relatively small modulations around an insane baseline, like switching between 24, 28, and 30 hours on.

The major issue (other than $$$) is thought to be hand-offs: information gets lost when one caregiver takes over for another. For example, you might notice that Mrs. Jones looks just a little bit paler than she did earlier, and take that into account when treating her, even subconsciously. This gets lost when a new doctor takes over, and allegedly, the increase in hand-off-related issues is not outweighed by the decrease in sleep-related ones. That said, I'm also not convinced that this has been aggressively optimised, or even tested over long-enough durations that people adapt to increased hand-off frequencies.
Did they study the effect of sleep deprivation on the quality of handoffs?
> AI can’t become real AI without big data; this would be like a human surviving without oxygen.

Wait, what? Did this article use a buzzword to serve as evidence that a term isn't a buzzword?

It's very possible to build AI/statistical models for most contexts with limited datasets; it's just harder, but people have been doing it for years before "big data". Data augmentation/bootstrapping/cross-validation helps a bit.
Definitely bad behavior. Ideally, no one but privileged users should be able to edit the configuration imho but this opens the door for attackers.
Yeah, this is a stupid excuse. If handoffs are a problem don't make doctors work more, figure out a better handoff system.

Ask HN: For those running Node.js on Google App Engine, how is it?
How stable is the node.js implementation on Google App Engine? Most backend applications I have written have been using node.js, however due to it seemingly not being a first class citizen in Google Cloud Platform, I initially opted for Java.

This has caused a slight productivity hit due to unfamiliarity of writing server side Java. Is the Node.js environment ready for primetime use? Should it still be avoided in production environments? What has your experience with it been?

How would automation help? Is it not a supply/demand issue already (an increase in doctors alleviate things)? Was it worse before we had electronic records and fancy medical equipment?

Maybe it's because of cost (and automation will drive that down)? We're willing to pay fewer doctors at the expense overworking and low supply? If so, I don't see that fixing anything. It would keep status quo, but drive down doctor's salaries or the demand of doctors.
I've just finished doing quite a bit of reading and research on this since e-books are big responsibility of mine as a librarian. The data seems to point to most people not having a really strong preference. There are a small percentage of people (less that 10%) that prefer ebooks and a larger percentage (30%+) that prefer physical books, but most people's preference is either complicated (they prefer one for a specific use case such as travel or technical books) or not that strong. We are looking to shift to a fulfillment model, which reduces collection crossover some. Most people just want to read their book and will take it however they can get it soonest. For what it's worth, I expect our ebook circulation to top out at about 30-35%, which is about where estimates of the commercial market are. Those estimates are complicated by Amazon's holding Kindle Direct numbers close the chest, which are probably fairly large.
why Go instead of NodeJS?
The extraordinary precision (under 0.1 microns) is only possible because the surface is close to a sphere; when grinding two surfaces together uniformly in all directions, the result tends towards a sphere (or a flat shape, which is a sphere of infinite radius). If you had to make an arbitrary shape, things would be very different.

If there's a bump (a hill) on the surface, it tends to grind out more quickly than the rest because it's jutting out and it's more exposed to pressure from the grit. If there's a hole, it remains untouched while the surface around it is being ground down. This way everything tends towards the ideal shape. By carefully doing a uniform rotation of the pieces during grinding, the resulting shape is symmetrical - spherical or flat.

Other shapes are also used in mirrors (revolution surfaces generated by a parabola, hyperbola or ellipse), but they are all basically just small corrections to a sphere (which is a revolution surface generated by a circle).

You start with very rough grit to go faster in the beginning and remove most material. Then you just use finer and finer grit as the surface becomes more and more smooth.

In the final stages you switch to polishing. It's a different process where the tool is not hard (glass) but soft (pitch), and the grit is replaced with microscopic powders (such as iron oxide or cerium oxide) which work not only through physical mechanisms but also via surface chemistry.

Also during polishing you use testing procedures which can show surface errors as small as 0.02 microns. The testing process is steering your polishing techniques; you apply corrections, or choose different polishing strokes to deal with various surface errors. Whereas grinding is mostly automatic (with a few basic checks here and there), during polishing your brain is in the loop, a lot.
> Nevertheless, the VC will frame it as a "failure" or "suboptimal outcome"

Sure, but that's in the context of the fund, not the company. It's meant to be consumed by people dealing with the fund in some way.

> If the VC knows ahead of time that investing $10m startup in will return just 1000% in 2 years, they'd rather ignore Trello and find "another Facebook" that can return 20000%+

No, any fund that knows they will get a 1000% return will definitely invest. The assumption will be that those dollars would have gone to one of the bad investments, because since the vast majority of dollars do, they're likely right. That investment will help the fund, because it doesn't it can be one large return, or a few slightly less large but still great returns. Not every fund that makes money does so because of a single great investment.

>Calling Trello a failed outcome is still crazy.

Please read my previous comment charitably as I deliberately wrote about Trello using the "investment perspective" for discussion purposes only. It wasn't rendering absolutist judgement that Trello was a failed company.

>So some VCs didn't get the crazy high returns

That's only looking at one side. The other side is J Spolsky who accepted the $10m. To do that, he had to believe Trello would grow beyond $1 billion and convince outside investors of that same vision. If a founder makes a decision to accept VC money, he has redefined the threshold of what success/failure will be. The math makes that unavoidable.

The last commit to this repo was on July 16, 2015, and the code says it conforms to the 8.0 standard. But Unicode 9.0 came out in June 2016.

You want to minimize weight and maximize surface area, as well as increase impact time. If you're given the option to hold onto a giant piece of extra-strong pinkboard with grip handles, that'd be ideal.

Unfortunately, this debris usually means you give up control, so it's a tradeoff you have to make. If you're over the middle of the ocean and two miles of lateral movement won't help you, by all means stay with your debris. But if you're falling over a mid-sized city, you have lots of things beneath you: buildings with glass skylights, piles of snow, and occasional trees. Landing on any of these things is far better than staying with whatever object you've got a hold of.

At the high end is the marginal benefit to your customer. At the low end is your competitor price or your own cost of production. A lot of hot air is in between, and that is where it gets complicated.

Some general considerations are your market strategy, your financial situation, your customer's finances, pain that you would solve, whether your solution results in growth or strategic advantage vs. back-office savings, ... and neither last or least, the emotional wins of the buyer.
You could feed in a whole bunch of data to determine if a user is a bot or not:

* Did they request robots.txt?
* User-agent
* Logged in vs. guest account (if applicable)
* Number of requests/time period
* Patterns of requests

The real value of this kind of analysis (to me) is to bucket the types of visitors:

* bot
* well-behaved (e.g. googlebot, etc.)
* valuable
* not-valuable
* badly behaved
* visitor

The valuable vs. non-valuable traffic is interesting to me, I've seen sites where the bot traffic was 25-35% of the total, and that some of the bots, though well-behaved, didn't really bring any business.
It's easy if you know what you are doing. It's not a steep learning curve but there is one.
No, it's not needed. Nanometers don't matter, that's the atomic level, far below what visible light could resolve. The metallic coating doesn't change the shape.

Once you're below 20 nanometers it basically doesn't matter. The wavelength of visible light is on the order of 400 nanometers.

In a different universe where the wavelength of visible light would be comparable to, or smaller than, the size of atoms, it would be very hard to make mirrors.

Show HN: “console.solve”
I started an experimental series, "console.solve", on mini javascript challenges a few months back and received good feedbacks on it. So I created a [second one](https://colintoh.com/console-solve/issue-2?utm_source=colint...) this month.
Not sure anyone here will be interested as it's not exactly pro-level stuff. But if you have an hour to spare, it can be a good distraction. For those who are interested, here was the [first challenge](https://colintoh.com/console-solve/issue-1?utm_source=colint...).
What are you willing to sacrifice? If you really want to make it a priority you will have to sacrifice something. Do you spend too much time watching netflix? playing video games? reading news? Start replacing these things for career improvement activities.

Be smart with the learning activities you choose. Side projects? probably not the best option since they require a lot of your time. Books, podcasts, video courses? That sounds more feasible since they are things you can squeeze in at any moment of the day.

Also keep in mind that learning is about quality and not quantity. It does not matter that you spend 5 hours coding on a side project if you are solving the same problem over and over.

Lastly, make sure you have a learning activities list ready so that you always have something to start working on and don't have to waste your time thinking about what's next.
Ask HN: How does your startup handle customer support?
The startup I'm part of has seen significant user growth over the past year. As we get more and more users on the platform, though, our time spent doing customer support increases.

Our current system is to have everyone, from the CEO to developers, do some customer support tickets. We're reaching a point where doing customer support is taking away too much time from our "normal" jobs.

How did you handle customer support in the early stages? Was outsourcing necessary, or was hiring a dedicated customer support employee or employees the way to go?
There was this movie called 'Oblivion', one of the concepts suggested in the movie was- Interstellar travel being so hostile for biological life only real and practical way of ever encountering a life form would be in the form a machine/AI.

You don't need to travel in your biological bodies. You can upload your brains to the AI and then have the machine basically run forever. The machine becomes your universe, and it figures out how to best survive in the universe(Mine planets, asteroids, prepare better versions of it self etc etc)
(not sure who would fix this) but that still sounds like a problem with the cost structure. In other businesses, after 8 hours you get paid 1.5x, after 12 hours 2x. If those were the incentives here, it'd be cheaper to overlap and pay two salaries (I'm ignoring benefits here).

It's a balance of what people are willing to pay, the risk we're willing to accept, how ethically we treat workers (doctors). Unfortunately, like many places in the economy, there aren't rational actors on each side to negotiate these things.
It depends.

At one end of the spectrum, Sickle Cell Anemia is caused by a single point mutation. The sixth amino acid in the hemoglobin beta chain should be glutamic acid, but it's been replaced by a valine. These have different charges, which is enough to warp the cell's shape and impair its function.

At the the other extreme, a lot of different gene variants have been associated with autism. However, these tend not to replicate very well--the genes identified in study A don't show up in study B and vice versa, and there are other possible mechanisms, like copy number variants.

CRISPR could potentially fix the former, but the latter is way beyond our current understanding.
