Imho there is no such thing as anonymized health care data. If the data is meaningful each dataset contains enough bits of information to de-anoymize the data when combined with other data sets. This makes Google especially dangerous as they have already much or all of the data required for de-anonymization.

Patient consent would make the data much less meaningful as it would remove datasets in a non-random way (better educated people might more likely opt-out). So that's no good solution either. I had recently a doctors visit and was asked exactly that. I opted out as I have no control over the data when released.
This sounds like a feature that will be painful to work with for regular apps, but that malware will easily work around.

I mean I am no security expert at all, but you kind of need administrative privilege to install a malware, so why not keep it to access all the folders you need?

The entire time I read this I kept thinking of the fundamental theorem (and its corollary). Also, considering this an all-solving hammer has the risk, like with everything, of being premature optimization, methinks.
>same words every new business ever have said

No.

Being backed by a longer term profitable entity that has related tech, is definitely not what most new SaaS vendors say. It's not a guarantee but it's a legit plus.

SaaS startup promises and unsustainable offers are a real and serious concern. But when a product is just getting launched, still in beta, there's nothing wrong with them taking some time to figure out the parameters.

The very thing you are demanding makes it prudent for companies to do everything they can to get pricing and promises right.
I don't think that matters much. 130km/hour is enough for top speed in most countries. With gasoline powered cars you simply need a higher top speed if you want the ability to swiftly accelerate to that 130km/hour.
>As an aside: according to wikipedia, there are no recorded deaths from ingestion of Amanita Muscaria.

Well, the Wikipedia lemma puts it this way:

Although classified as poisonous, reports of human deaths
resulting from its ingestion are extremely rare. A fatal
dose has been calculated as 15 caps.[55] Deaths from this
fungus A. muscaria have been reported in historical journal
articles and newspaper reports,[56][57][58] but with modern
medical treatment, fatal poisoning from ingesting this
mushroom is extremely rare.[59] Many older books list
Amanita muscaria as "deadly", but this is an error that
implies the mushroom is more toxic than it is.[60] The
North American Mycological Association has stated that
there were: "no reliably documented cases of death from
toxins in these mushrooms in the past 100 years".
Of course you would do it secretly.
130 is the maximum speed in most countries, Germany excepted in Europe, in most states in the US it's 55 Mph, 70 or 85 (Texas, the exception), so only in Texas or Germany would you run into the situation where your car can't go the legal limit, but it is still more than capable of achieving the minimum speed, and in fact that speed at which the vast majority of the traffic moves.

Slower than 130 km/h would be a problem.

Fair point. If you were in the UK I would say that means you're trying to do a job that requires you to break the law and it's been decided that it's in the best interests of society that you don't do that job.

Obviously as you said you're in the US and it sounds like your situation is very different (you haven't identified a law stopping your work just an ethics board that won't sign off for a reason you don't know).

It's not clear to me from this reply that you know very much about authors, advances, and the like. Maybe I'm wrong.

Anyway, writing a book is an actual job for some people, and not a hobby, a passion project, a speculative endeavor, a side gig, or a way to boost your leverage in compensation negotiations with potential employers. Seeing as how it's an actual job that entails a bunch of really hard work that I don't have to do and, frankly, don't particularly enjoy more than N number of other things I'm doing right now and that I'm good at, I'm not interested in doing it unless it can replace some subset of the paid work I'm currently doing that I enjoy (and learn from).

Amazon Web Services | SDE / SysDE / Research/Data Scientist | Seattle, Palo Alto (ONSITE) | VISA, aws.amazon.com, AS16509

The Internet is the world’s most complex network, with over 57,402 unique networks connected together, it contains hundreds of millions of edges and nodes. It is THE most pervasive, important, and complicated communications network in the world -- somewhere out there things are about to go south. One of the core backbone routers of a major Tier-1 Internet provider is having a bad day. It started with a transient, yet persistent, problem which was only detectable by a slight increase in dropped packets that went mostly unnoticed. An hour later the router suffered a catastrophic failure dumping 500Gbps of traffic onto an already congested alternate path causing ripples across the Internet, disrupting websites and other Internet based services on the U.S Eastern seaboard. Social media is ablaze as frustrated people rant about their favorite website, video, or gaming service being down, or so slow that it’s unusable. While the Internet burns, our customers are humming away oblivious to the disaster. If you have an insatiable curiosity, love the process of discovery, and you’re reading this with a grin... we should talk. Come join us and...

* Do what nobody else in the world is doing... literally.

* Gain knowledge and expertise on the inner workings of the Internet, working with top-tier Network Engineers

* Define and Develop Amazon’s Internet Monitoring architecture

* Play in the piles of data to discover patterns that push our understanding and knowledge of Internet performance and availability anomalies

* Build massive real-time systems which inform and drive complex changes across the Internet

* Gain practical experience building software using Amazon Web Services

Perhaps the place to implement countermeasures is in the disk drive (SSD these days)?

e.g. arrange for the drive to never delete anything unless some key exchange has recently been done, that depends on user input (bio parameters, or password).

From a user perspective you'd see this as :

All deletes (and file version changes) go to a recycle bin. Emptying the bin can only be done upon presentation of the secret.

For Windows it could just prompt the user when an application attempts a write operation; just like UAC, if permission is granted the calling application wouldn't even notice the difference except for the pause while the open for write access call blocks pending user permission. Done at the same level as UAC in theory it should be impossible for malware to bypass approval, heck I'd even be happy typing my user account password to thaw it out.
Heh, I actually had the same thought. Then I had the following thought: "I relish the thought of one day talking to the SEC even less than I do talking to the IRS, and if this were successful I'd probably end up talking to both at some point."
But it is known that people have a bias towards tangible figures, like meaningful probabilities and round numbers. This heavily distorts the range of imaginable possibilities.

Probabilities are real numbers between 0 and 1. For example, 1.E-301 is one of them. But if one is to take that probability out of a hat people just blatantly ignore it.

>The sheer hubris that there isn't any life in any of the other trillion galaxies usually makes people reconsider.

Hubris is on both sides of this, isn't it? On the face of little to no evidence, how can we estimate such probabilities?

They build platform across a lot of models shared between various brands of the same group. So what they lose supporting gas and electric, they (could) win it back with a diversity of models and form factors.

Also it is not before the next generation of cars (i.e. 10 years) that the bulk of their sales could really be mainly electric. (the world is not like California. A lot of people interested like me simply can't get an electric car - not even because of lifestyle, just because of infrastructure) In the meanwhile they will need to provide hybrid or simpler hybrid.

And traditional constructor are experienced at designing roomy interiors. Designing a single interior across a range is probably more a win than a loss.

BTW it seems that nowadays every constructor has some model ready to commercialise either in 2018 or 2019. Will be interesting to see if they really can hit their target and what Tesla competition is really looking like. Interesting times.

git is a good litmus test. If they're old and refuse to use it, they're probably a close-minded dinosaur.

If they like git and know it well, they're probably old, full of the experience and benefits you're looking for, _and_ energetic, growing and open-minded.

I kind of expected that argument to come up. It's funny that the reaction of the industry itself to that is to give up on the experience and ride with the fashion, rather than fight those trends.

And a lot of those were actually fake / without any sort of authorization. Some projects also just put ppl as a "advisors" because they answered a question that one time.

Btw, Given is the number of Ethereum founders is small, you're probably referring to some of many devs working for the foundation as contractors.
Lots of people think that the answer is "badly", but we don't really know. My personal experience (I'm 44) is that I've been offered every job I've interviewed for, passed every phone screen etc.

Many older developers of my acquaintance are happy where they are, they just don't move very often.

With newcomers to the industry we see a reasonable cross section, but with more experience, the sample becomes confounded by many other factors.
Care to throw some examples out there?
Although I do believe that HR handled the situation poorly (i.e. moving you away from your group), I also think you're not innocent in this. My advice to you would be to reevaluate how you come off to other people and maybe what went wrong in these interactions. If they were bad enough to warrant someone talking to HR then something definitely needs to change. I recommended the book " The Charisma Myth: How anyone can master the art and science of personal magnetism" by Olivia Fox Cabane.

Shame on anyone calling the accuser "mentally ill", "spreading gossip", or anything of the likes. That is victim blaming and weather her accusations are true or not doesn't give you the right to justify his action through attacking her character.

At least speaking as a academic (4th year PhD student), one of the challenges with researchers over reliance on NHST seems to be the apparent lack of a more compelling alternative. One candidate which is gaining traction is Bayes factors but there are challenges with this approach as well e.g. with suitable specification of priors. The best way forward will involve fundamentally restructuring how we educate incoming researchers because it will necessarily mean embracing uncertainty over dichotomization of results into yes/no. Andrew Gelman and John Carlin write elegantly about ways forward here: http://www.stat.columbia.edu/~gelman/research/published/jasa...
