TrueConf Brings Telemedicine to Refugee Shelters
Teleview for Refugees, a new telehealth video conferencing system based on TrueConf Server, was created by ZTM Bad Kissingen to provide emergency assistance to the refugee families in Germany. TrueConf set up video conferencing system between hospital and refugee first-accommodation center and provided necessary conditions for preliminary remote examination and issuing medical certification documents.

ZTM Bad Kissingen is one of the leading telemedicine centers in Germany.

ZTM Bad Kissingen required a system that would allow to set up video communication between Rhön Klinikum and refugee first-accommodation center. Additionally, it was essential to provide necessary conditions for preliminary remote examination and issuing medical certification documents.

As a part of telehealth video conferencing system deployment, refugee center was equipped with mobile video conferencing unit which consists of a flat screen TV and a mini PC with installed TrueConf for Windows application. At the arranged time, volunteers working in refugee accommodation centers help the patient connect with a remote doctor and follow doctor’s commands during the medical check-ups. Remote doctors based in Rhön Klinikum use TrueConf software for running video sessions with their patients.

TeleView for Refugees received German Telemedicine Award by German Telemedicine
Association. This prize is awarded for outstanding contribution to the healthcare industry.

There are 5 other people in the same situations (the other ones had experience with friends/relatives on things like this and sorted everything out themselves). It's costly to sue, takes a lot of time and it's not a guarantee to get the money back (corruption and Romania go hand in hand). And even if I want to sue it's me vs him because the other people cannot afford the costs. Not worth it in the end.

Edit: There's an entire article to be written about buying an apartment here when the developer pretty much has a monopoly in this part of the city. For example, you can rarely find a already-built new building (that's not in shambles and will fall at the next big-ish earthquake) to buy. Most people pay for it in advance (before it's even built) and in the end can end up with a shit hole (it happens). And you pay mortgage on a building that's not even completed.

My assumption, for example:

Receiver receives time “noon” from GPS satellite 1 at receiver-local time T=0.

Receiver receives time “noon” from GPS satellite 2 at receiver-local time T=2 nanoseconds.

Receiver receives a couple more “noon”s from other satellites, then uses its receiver-local time differences to trilateral its location.
I'm not convinced that such local monopolies change the equation here. Access to the internet might be a right, but is unlimited access to Netflix a right? A monopoly on essentials must be regulated, because there's no market elasticity (and the extremists often deny even that). A monopoly on entertainment, though? Even a monopoly is constrained in how much in can charge for such a thing before customers just walk away.

Network Neutrality(tm) isn't about constraining these monopolies. It doesn't even address the issues of price gouging or discrimination against consumers. If that's what we want, there are whole different sets of laws to talk about. The regulations currently at issue only seem to address concerns orthogonal to those related to monopolies.

And so will either increase prices or slow down delivery. Also, I don't know wether Italy has sane strike laws or not, but in Germany amazon would not be allowed to just fire the strikers, and there is and was non-negligible PR fallout from the strikes.

Just to present the full picture. In the end, either there will be a price found. But I'd say good for Italian workers for making the labour market more of a market
The only difference being made in your story is that Elon Musk is the one holding the capital.

The beauty of capitalism. Inovation will happen only when it aligns with the whims of those sitting on piles of money.

Strikers in US media are often belittled. Think back to the Occupy Movement.

The banks were bailed out, none of those people who caused so much misery were ever put in jail, and the media belittled Occupy as being directionless and pointless. The protest was huge, stretching across cities and countries, but there was never any accountability for the banksters. It shows again as the Equifax execs were cleared of insider trading, when they were obviously insider trading.

When I was in London a few years ago, there was a massive tube strike. The train drivers were belittled in the media with reports claiming they made over 55k GBP a year, more than many nurses. They neglected to mention the new night train program would have meant long 7 to 14 week night shifts for every tube driver. The city was voted in on night trains, but had no money to fund them. So the blame gets passed all the way down to the tube drivers.
You might not be American. I had the same confusion when I called 911 to report an accident driving across the US and they asked me if the truck was a "semi".

Genetics can predispose you into "something that requires good memory" or "something that requires strength" or even "is routine and requires patience". There are usually many that fit your genetics. Whether your love for routine lead you to choose work with horses or plants or something else depends on a lot more factors.

Plus, there are many people in professions that dont fit their genetics perfectly.
A few others from the past decade which were covered by the country's few remaining serious labor journalists. Some were also written about in books [1] or documented in film [2].

2008: Puerto Rico teachers strike.

2008: Stella D'Oro strike.

2011: Occupy Oakland and unions shut down the port following a call for a general strike.

2012: Chicago teachers strike.

2012: Republic Windows and Doors strike and occupation.

2013: Fast food workers strike in 58 U.S. cities.

There's an exciting younger generation of labor journalists, and a good way to keep tabs on what they are covering is through Dissent's podcast Belabored (feed at [3]).

Well if a company cannot compete because wages are too high then the company goes under and jobs are gone.

Germany is a good example of this, they have a ton of unions and lots of production but the unions understand that competition is key to survival so there are very few strikes.

This is one of the major flaws of current society. We've pushed adulthood so far out that people don't seriously start thinking about their place in society until 22 or 23 years old. That is a lot of time to wonder deeper into your metaphorical cave.
IMO Above average smart people feel better about themselves, if they keep thinking to themselves that there aren't any obscenely smart successful people that can make decisions and produces results that they could have produced only by being part of a large group. Because if they didn't, then their lack of success would have been attributed to them not being lucky or not being at a right place/time, not that they themselves simply are just not as good as they thought they are.

> Similarly, eating a full serving of peanuts regularly is generally a bad idea.

Why? Nuts are full of healthy fats and a single serving has a decent amount of calories. With the nutrition nuts have, they make a great snack to propel you through part of the day. If I start to dip around 2:00/3:00 PM and get hungry, one of my go-tos is a single serving of mixed nuts (although I also just toasted some walnuts for the same purpose). It keeps me full until dinner. I don’t understand why you hate nuts so much. I mean, obviously you should enjoy them in moderation, but that’s true for a lot of foods.

In the case of 'break', it breaks out of the block of the current construct (loop, switch). with brings an object in scope, or calls something already in scope with the object as a this argument - the semantics will be exactly opposite in this case.

Then it breaks chaining syntax (one nice thing we get), since everything will have to nest again:

x::fn()::otherFn() vs

(otherFn() with (fn() with x))

It brings more problems with ASI:

fn()

with (x); // is this fn() with (x), or fn(); with (x); do nothing

Your claim here seems to be that there are >1 people who voted for Brexit for reasons other than immigration.

That is reasonably obvious, and not useful basis for a discussion on Brexit.

If you want to gain a better understanding of why people in general voted for Brexit, data would be valuable. Everything else is anicdotal, and not very useful.

The stuff with FERC & DOE is a little more complex. Nobody likes coal, and the north American electricity market mechanisms have had prices for years that are too low for coal to turn a profit. Great, the market has spoken you say? The only problem is it presents a major issue for national security if all you have is natural gas and some renewable. What happens if the pipelines freeze? Grid resiliency means having a diverse enough fuel mix to still be ok if we have certain disasters. One day we'll hopefully have very large and affordable batteries and a lot more renewables, but despite huge growth in this sector, most demand is still sourced from unclean fossil fuels today. Nobody (except Perry) is really expecting or wanting coal to make a comeback. They're just trying to provide a market mechanism to compensate power companies to keep just enough coal online so we can better hedge against blackouts.
Because they provide value to him?

It’s not FUD when you literally have unions such as ones for police who fight tooth and nail to keep bad employees working there. Sure, that’s what a union is supposed to do, but there needs to be a line, and no one wants to define it.

Ground zero of your position is the premise that you are actually capable of maintaining privacy despite the growing arsenal of Facebook, Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, ATT, Comcast, etc. [1] while your attack surface is ever expanding. [2]

Random relationship advice from the internet:

The decision to tell one's lady friend that she is using her iPhone wrong suggests a disposition to pursue unwinnable battles. In terms of privacy, your lady friend's pragmatic approach may be less satisfying, but you may be better off accepting it than tilting at windmills. Trying to stick it to Google is an identifying data point.

Good luck.

Whilst it's very hard to write a secure C application because writing C is hard, it seems it's very hard to write a secure application in javascript because javascript is too easy.

Your last sentence makes me wonder: what is the average job satisfaction of people who have the same jobs as a parent versus other people?

Growing up in American public schools I was on several occasions taught something like “the phrase ‘pursuit of happiness’ in the Declaration of Independence means you can do whatever you want with your life rather than just following in the footsteps of your parents.” I suspect that’s an oversimplification or distortion of the author’s intent, but it’s definitely a popular concept.

Along similar lines, I wonder hiw the percentage of children who take the same job as a parent has changed over time. I would guess that it has decreased since the industrial revolution.
How does your implementation of associated types differ from the same feature in Haskell? In particular, why is this related to higher-kinded types?

From what I remember from the theory, higher-kinded types lead to a genuinely more difficult type inference problem (going from easy first-order unification to undecidable higher-order unification), while associated types are simply existential types (and in particular no more difficult than higher-rank polymorphism).

> The anti-union FUD campaign in the US has contributed significantly to the erosion of middle class wages

It's way more complicated than that, and it can't simply be dismissed as a "FUD campaign". Union members are actually disproportionately likely to support things like right-to-work laws, which unions dislike because it (more or less) means workers aren't obligated to be members if they choose not to.

Similarly, union membership rates have dropped even in states that have very union-friendly laws (like New York and Massachusetts), and unions are having less and less success at the polls, meaning non-unionized workers are rejecting the proposals to unionize their workforces (UAW elections in particular - AFL-CIO elections to a lesser extent).

This pattern isn't as simple to dismiss as "anti-union FUD", especially since it's seen among people who are already union members in closed shops.

The reasons for this have to do with the history of unionization of closed shops, and the regional economic pressures it creates.

> Neoliberalism has tried to structure the economy in order to render strikes impossible by guaranteeing that they can't cause any real inconvenience.

There's also a general message carried by the medias and politicians that neoliberalism is the only possible solution. People are discouraged to go on strike (or even to vote for alternative parties) even when they see their wages and their social benefits declining. They feel that the medias may be right after all, and even if they aren't, there's not much to do anyway.
I think union membership rates have been dropping due to the fact that companies have been increasinly more anti union.

It's also nice to see people doing a serious strike in Italy for once, unions have done a shitty job there in recent years, but it's important to have workers protest, to guarantee a balance of power.

Just to make clear, I am not on either ones side here. Striking is a right in Italy and Germany, so the employees sure can do it. But the reality is how it is as well :/

> And so will either increase prices or slow down delivery.

Not really. Germany is small enough that it doesn't really matter if you get it from a German or a Polish warehouse (that sits directly behind the border). (Amazon Prime deliveries and similar stuff excluded - but that's a very small percentage)

> Also, I don't know wether Italy has sane strike laws or not, but in Germany amazon would not be allowed to just fire the strikers, and there is and was non-negligible PR fallout from the strikes.

You don't fire anyone. You just don't invest there any more to keep up with your xx% growth every year. You just do that behind the border.
