I have mentioned this on some previous posted articles but we are really happy users of both citus and pipelinedb.

Check out pipelinedb if you are a Postgres fan (obviously it is for a different use case than Citus).

The only thing I don't like about pipeline is that it currently is a fork and not an extension but that is supposed to change.

Consequently we syndicate to citus and pipeline through rabbitmq and Kafka.

We use google cloud as well. I'm contemplating on writing a post on what we have learned (and not :)) but I don't think I could ever match the quality of this article.

And yes invariably some one will mention memsql does both but it is proprietary and not Postgres. I probably should have spent more time investigating it though (and eventually will).
I agree with this assessment having only briefly paid attention to this topic while a friend was going through residency. This is not something that is being ignored - I would say the exact opposite is true, it was probably one of the most discussed topics of residents at the time.

But I also think the answer is pretty obvious, if not practical. You need to basically double the number of doctors, and stagger shifts so they have half-shift overlaps and scheduled 8hr (max) shifts to begin with. Then doctors can stay longer through the next shift if needed (and this would be common) to complete the handoffs properly as well as get through critical periods of patient care.

I think that would be far safer than the current model - but also would effectively double your salary costs which is of course a non-starter.

The NSA is the single largest employer of mathematicians in the US. The Snowden leaks did not include any of the data from the departments actually involved in attacking cryptography. All we really know is that they don't have any breaks for their low-level mass surveillance tools.

Likewise with the CIA. From the 1% of the documents leaked so far, there's no evidence that they have the ability to crack modern encryption. But the documents leaked seem to come from a contractor (or were shared with a contractor) so there are likely internal-use-only tools with greater capability than shown in this leak.

That's not to say that they definitely have ways to break modern crypto, just that we can't prove that they don't given the material publicly known so far.

Hiding facts harms society more than it helps.

Prosecutors could choose to do those things, but our reliance on their good graces is foolish and naive. There is no meaningful feedback for these people when they do wrong. On the contrary, they are often rewarded as you say with higher political office or in private practice. There is no meaningful oversight. This is true for every element of the judiciary, prosecutors, police, and judges alike.
'I dunno about all that. "For the greater good" "Ends justify the means" all come to mind. If it's theft, it's theft. If it's within the law to stop them from continuing to develop off of allegedly stolen IP, then that's the right decision.'

Problem is, IP is an invention that temporarily takes away the public's right to copy, for the purposes of encouraging cultural works and public documentation of trade secrets.

In other words, IP is based on "for the greater good" itself, so if you claim that "for the greater good" is invalid, then IP is invalid by extension.

Now, you could argue that it will damage trust in the reliability of the legal system, but that doesn't change the fact that the "if it's theft, it's theft" argument doesn't hold any water.

Might I suggest Step 0?

0.1 Start marketing. Something as prosaic as a blog, if necessary. Demonstrate your capability. (Capability does not mean technical skill. It means your empathy with another human to understand his/her pain, and show him/her that you care. You demonstrate caring by talking simply and clearly. If someone understands you, they feel good about themselves. If you are talking simply and clearly, that means you have taken the time to really give a shit about the other person).

0.2 Get a customer. For really really cheap if necessary. Train people to give you a small amount of money in return for some help.

. . . onward and upward.

I personally would not take on a partner and employees for a while. I can tell you from personal experience that it is a profound psychic burden to be responsible for other people eating and paying the rent. In addition, the HR component of having employees is pure, unadulterated shit swimming in a pool of pee. It's as if our government wants to discourage employment. California (where I am) is the worst.

That doesn't make sense. Once you connect it to the rest of the network, it's no longer "air gapped".

The phrase "air gapped" doesn't signify something special about air, it refers specifically towards breaking the connection (which is typically electrical) between that system and the rest of the network. Perhaps it is not the best term, and "completely isolated" would be better.

If you set up an IR LAN, or use sound, or whatever, then the system is no longer air gapped and you have created a potential vector for information leakage and potential penetration. Sure, probably nobody is going to bother, if the implementation is unique and nothing you have on that system is of particular value, but there have been a number of high-profile compromises of "air gapped" systems and networks (e.g. Iranian nuclear production facilities), that show it can be done even without an intentional connection if the desire is really there.

There are scenarios where partially isolated systems can offer a real benefit, though. I have periodically seen ideas for logging systems that use a 100BT (not Gigabit) Ethernet connection with the Tx pair cut, so that traffic can only ever go INTO the system and never back out again. The system sits on the far side of this one-way hardware gate, listening and logging, and is extremely difficult (although not impossible) to compromise because of the lack of feedback. Note if you want to do this, you need to use old 10 or 100BT network cards that don't have GigE capability, because I believe GigE uses all the pairs in the Ethernet cable in unpredictable ways; you don't have the old Tx pairs / Rx pairs / shield pairs like you used to be able to count on (and selectively cut). I think you'd need to make sure the cards didn't support auto MDIX as well.
Good analogy; and quite accurate.

It's not just the number of bits that affects signal to noise ratio, though... It's also the complexity of the calculation; more gate operations and longer storage in memory leads to more quantum decoherence. And AFAIK, each type of calculation must be implemented in hardware, because reversible quantum gates must be used. This means you would need a specialized chip for each algorithm. I haven't confirmed this understanding with someone that specializes in QC, but I don't see a way around it, other than to combine many algos onto a single chip, sharing as many gates as possible, but degrading S/N further.
Delete APs when you're done using them if they're not ones you'll regularly access. This is especially important for open, unencrypted WiFi since a malicious AP could claim to be that ID.

Puzzles inspired by logic gates
From other comments here, it sounds like there really hasn't been a lot of experimentation or innovation in the "sign-off" process. It seems like things like body cameras and audio recordings could help with the transfer of knowledge between two people about a specific patient. So could telepresence, IMO, if the off shift doctors weren't trying to recover for their next marathon.

> a solution that they know works

For what definition of works? My (thankfully few) trips to the hospital have not exactly inspired a lot of confidence in the hospital system. Duplicated questions, minimized interaction with an actual doctor, being kept in the dark about what's going on, waiting for hours between human interactions, empty IV bags which hang for hours... This is questionable definition of "works".
Strange how some countries expect doctors to work ridiculous hours and justify it on the grounds that not doing it would increase the risk of medical errors and yet other countries seem to manage without excessive hours, see this study about Norwegian doctor's working hours http://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/4/10/e005704.

There is a West Wing episode "20 Hours in America" (it's 2 parts) where some characters are left behind by the campaign motorcade and try very unsuccessfully to make their way back to Washington. One of their many false starts involves a local difference in how daylight savings time is observed. They have a volunteer drive them to one of the later campaign stops, but this county has different time and they are an hour late.
> But I also think the answer is pretty obvious, if not practical. You need to basically double the number of doctors,

As mentioned in the article, one of the problems they found with the shorter shifts is that it was less effective for teaching, meaning that they would need longer training periods overall to achieve the same results with shorter shifts. So that would mean increasing the costs of residency, which is already an unprofitable program to begin with.

So, doubling the number of doctors without compromising on training would mean increasing the per-resident costs significantly and then doubling them. That's... a hard approach to execute.

Also, that's assuming that having twice the number of doctors caring for each patient per unit time does not introduce any other problems, which is an assumption I'd question.

Welcome to the dark side :)

Starting a services firm is all about building up a client base that can sustain you. Your big challenge is to get into the best referral circles, as the best projects come via word of mouth.

My suggestion is to take whatever you can get at first. Take as many coffee meetings as possible and network like crazy. You never know where your first big lead will come from.

Expect most potential clients to be sceptical of your ability to deliver until you have portfolio pieces that are of both a similar level of complexity to the clients' needs as well as written in similar technologies. Clients will be sceptical of anything that you wrote while still employed unfortunately.

For me, this meant that I had to take projects at a loss or on razor thin margins at the beginning. I was strategic about it though and this allowed me to build up the type of portfolio I needed to get my ideal contracts.

Online markets are very competitive. Expect to be up against 200 other bidders. It can be fruitful, but I consider it to be a full time job in itself.

Until you're established, you'll need to follow up on every potential sales channel you can think of. If you have sufficient capital to float sales people, it's always a great thing to have, but be careful as employees will spend your money faster than you make it at first. Contractors, freelancers, and commission only sales can help you out here.

I found most of my first clients by announcing my availability to my network. There may be some less saturated job boards on Facebook that are localized to your specific city as well.

You may need to take on smaller projects than you would like at first. It will feel useless but it is actually valuable networking. Some of my 1 day projects have turned into handsome referrals :)

Get as much mentorship and help as you can find. There will be hard times before the operation is running smoothly.

Dude come on. Don't quote the guidelines at people unless they're new users who might not actually be aware.

I think it's pretty clear from my comment why I'm saying something; it's not just about this one article, there's been a rise in these obvious ads on the site in general (from my point of view), and I feel something needs to be done about it. I've obviously flagged every one of them but that's not enough.

The point of me making a comment about it is to see if other people feel the same way. If you don't agree, you can reply and say "I don't agree, I think these ads are good / I don't see many of them / whatever."

Replying and quoting the guidelines like that is trying to just shut down the discussion and/or just being pedantic.

That's part of the reason I'm able to make a living outside the App Store - for my particular stable of apps, customers are willing and able to come find my website. There are also issues with the App Store that don't involve sandboxing, such as the fact that it's tough to build any sort of relationship with customers when we don't get any data from Apple about them, can't reply to App Store reviews, can't market or sell upgrades, etc. It makes it a lot harder to make this a long-term business instead of just a hobby.

One limit is that if you've searched every square of a maze, you're guaranteed to have found the exit.

So if you want to have a harder maze than that, you must visit each cell more than once. i.e. lots of backtracking.

If you have N dead ends (i.e. leaf nodes), the node before them must be visited twice (down and back up again). The previous node can be visited at most 4 times (in, down and back for each edge, and back out again). Past that, limitations due to geometry will slow down the growth of possibilities.

It was a requirement before the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act, which is what is meant by "pre-AIA". You stated that "'best mode' is not a requirement for a patent at all" which was incorrect pre-AIA and remains incorrect in the AIA era. Disclosure of best mode remains a statutory requirement, even though it now lacks enforcement.

> The Electoral College doesn't 'reduce the weight of votes coming from inner-cities and urban areas'; it allocates votes to states in roughly proportion to population.

It does reduce the weight of votes coming from inner cities, because it does not allocate votes proportionally all the time. The disparity occurs most obviously between the high populated states like New York, California, and Texas, compared with very low-population states like Montana or Wyoming. I live in New York, so my individual vote is worth less than someone living in Wyoming or Montana.

First, I don't think that "enabling sight" is the right term to use here. It's just making a certain device usable to the blind.

And yes, there are open source and free options available. iOS' accessibility APIs are closed to third parties and VoiceOver is the only option on that platform. However, there is free and open source screen reading software for Windows, Linux and Android.

I can't say what the state of Orca, the free Linux screen reader, is these days, but I know development is still going on. Orca wasn't so much of a problem in the past when I tried it, it was more that it could be a real pain to get everything working together. Think reasonable low-latency sound output for speech, driving a braille display through the BRLTTY software, getting the screenreader runnign at the login screen etc etc. I hope that has improved by now, but I only interact with Linux through SSH sessions or local text console these days.

Then there is NVDA for Windows. A free and open source screenreader mainly developed by two blind guys. On many fronts it has feature parity with the very expensive commercial offerings and even surpasses the commercial offerings on certain points. I use it as my daily driver.

In the past I also used a Mac near fulltime, but the VoiceOver of Mac OS became to buggy for my professional work. Also, usually updates only came when the OS was updated, so fixes and new features could take a while. So, long story short, open screenreader on a closed operating system that provides stable APIs seems to be the best of both worlds for now.
