Yep, marketing is a real issue, since that can take up extensive resources (I am just guessing that the proprietary EMRs sink 20% or more of their resources into marketing).

Especially since US based physicians are trained that more money means better things. As you can imagine the skepticism that then results when discussing a free EMR.

Prior to a year or so ago, OpenEMR really relied on the professional support (this is basically an organic ecosystem of companies, vendors, and professionals that offer paid services to support OpenEMR) for marketing. However, the project is now taking on a more active role in marketing and is why it is listed as an item to fund in the OpenEMR Collective blog. The goal would be to get professional marketing advice and guidance.

The developing nations market is really another matter. The marketing is still important and requires resources, but is mainly focused on making OpenEMR known and accessible to these nations (for example, OpenEMR currently supports 33 languages).

And we are always looking for volunteers with (or without since we are all learning) expertise to help us in these endeavors, and anybody is free to participate in the community (hint hint).

There are commercial induction Wok burners but I've never seen one for home. And I've heard the commercial ones still lag but I've never used one.

Commercial induction burners max out at about 5000 BTUs(and above 3500 is rare), and that's on the expensive models. A relatively cheap commercial gas range will have many 10,000 BTU burners. My $500 home gas oven that I recently bought has an 18,000 btu burner! I know gas is less efficient, but that burners going to put out more heat than any two induction burners.

On a wok or any large item (such as the 5 gallons of wort or tonkotsu broth I sometimes make) you couldn't get enough watts with induction to properly stir fry or to heat a large mass quickly. Some of the bigger gas units you can buy for home put out really high BTUs while taking up very little electricity.

My point wasn't that induction isn't great, it is. It's just not better in every way. It's got strengths and weaknesses.
In America, justice is only available to those who can afford it. If you can't afford months or years of lawyer's fees and don't have the ability to take time away from your job, family and other daily obligations, you're simply out of luck.

Does Twitter's policy identify protected minority groups? Asking for a friend.
Merkle-Damgard hash functions (such as SHA256) are merely weakened by QC. SHA256 is considered good enough and as such, BTC mining should be able to weather QC. There is a variant of Shor's Algorithm that can solve ECDSA, so you might have problems with your BTC wallet; a fork using a new resistant asymmetric algorithm would be needed.

Memory-constrained algorithms, such as scrypt, should be quantum resistant based on what I know (which isn't much). If I'm not horribly misinformed, LTC mining should therefore be resistant. Again, LTC wallets would face problems.
This is a separate issue from large emergency medical bills. You can get a drug prescribed for a chronic condition just about anywhere, but if it's produced by a monopolist then you're forced to pay whatever absurd price the manufacturer demands. Adequate competition without IP restrictions can drive drug prices very, very low. This can be seen in the Indian pharma industry.
How would you propose recouping the cost of developing a New Chemical Entity into an approved drug without the exclusivity provided by IP?
Hey lobster_johnson, Pachyderm CEO here. Thanks for the shout out and we're glad you feel Pachyderm is promising for these use cases. I just wanted to clarify / respond to a few things.

> no streaming yet, as far as I know

Pachyderm actually does do streaming, there's nothing in the API about it because it all happens automatically. This is one of the huge advantages of immutable data, the system can automatically detect if it's already done a computation by looking at a hash of the input and the code. The system will never do the same computation twice, all pipelines are streaming by default.

Sorry we've been less than enthusiastic in addressing these niggling issues. The truth is it's pretty hard to be enthusiastic in addressing issues for specific deployment scenarios. AFAIK the Google Cloud Storage library we're using doesn't support service accounts, the whole library has been deprecated, the second GCS library we've had deprecated underneath us. So upgrading that is a bit of a pain but the bigger pain is that now users with existing Google clusters will have their clusters break under them unless we can figure out a way to get scopes and service accounts to both work. And we have every reason to believe that all of this will be deprecated within the next 6 months and we'll be on to our 4th GCS library. And that's only one deployment scenario, we're doing the same thing for AWS, Azure and a host of local deployment options.

Anyways, these are our problems to solve, and we will solve them. We're thrilled that you want to use Pachyderm and we want to make that experience as smooth as possible. We just need to ask for a bit of patience regarding these deployment scenarios.

Anyway, if someone can come up with data as to what percentage are anonymous, I am curious.

Side comment, but I saw this on an HN comment about a week or two ago and since then I've seen it front page here, reddit, and other newsfeeds.

I wonder which of the following apply:

1) It's always been a popular post and I never noticed it

2) It was already catching fire and seeing it on HN was part of that spread

3) It became popular because of HN

Always curious to see the life cycle of how these things develope
No, it isn't, if you're playing with surgical tools that disrupt Git history, which was my point. It's a lot easier to revert to before you started than attempt to abort out of a huge rebase/squash/ugly merge conflict hell/rewrite of history. I'm not saying back up before every commit. I'm saying when `git status` is three pages long, you have 14,000 conflicts, and you're on a detached HEAD God knows where, it's your choice to spend the next hour typing the right Git commands to get back where you wanted to be, or just back out and try again. I know which one I'd prefer.

>auto-generating code produces awful code.

I disagree with this notion. Code generation is limited by the approach, the input information and the output language. Make is (subjectively) an ugly language, text macros are a bad approach. That's why autotools sucks in my opinion.

OTOH, approaches like Go's 'Stringer' are pretty clever and useful, and generate good code from many PoVs.

>It's not even a useful thing to do.

Look, if you write nice, minimal Makefiles, that's great. It's not what I was talking about. I know autogenerating Makefiles sucks. I prefer Makefiles like those from projects like musl. But some projects are too big and complicated.

If I want to target a huge number of platforms while also supporting cross compiling, Make starts to break down rapidly. Out of tree builds are also a pain.

Tools like qmake and autotools can alleviate this by autogenerating Makefiles and project files abstractly. That way, I don't have to make configuration decisions on every single invocation. This gets especially tedious if you need to run pkg-config many times or sdl-config, or maybe some platform dependent things, or what have you. Or if you want to do things Make isn't good with, like recursing or acting on a wildcard of files. Soon enough your Makefile is calling find and relying on the BSD or GNU version of find, someone tries to run it on MinGW and gets confused by the weird argument error with find.

Lots of people use Make for it's ability to concurrently run tasks with dependencies. This program presents just that part of make with a declarative syntax that is easily generated programmatically.

If you don't see a point, I can understand. Personally, I have no plans to use Cr. But if I was writing a kind of build system that generated a manifest, I'd rather generate a YAML manifest than a Makefile.

Ask HN: Beginner Resources for Computer Networking?
A self-taught junior app developer I work with needs to better understand computer (and especially web-related) networking topics such as TCP/IP, DNS, and HTTP.

Being self-taught myself and having learned these topics largely through osmosis over the last 15 years, I don't feel qualified to teach him (and frankly could probably stand to brush up a bit myself!)

To that end, I'm looking for suggestions of some good, coherent reading materials (no videos - he strongly feels he learns best by reading) that teach the basics without going too far into the weeds. A Google search has turned up only MOOCs and a few blogs without anything near sufficient depth.

We don't need undergrad textbooks or anything like that -- 5,000 words or so would be about the right amount of material. The goal for now is for him to be able to understand what's being discussed when we're planning infrastructure or troubleshooting API requests, etc.

Thanks for any suggestions!
There a few reasons really:

1. You have much more control about how your words are presented on your own website. Got an interesting idea for a style? Know how to code some neat features for the site? Want to avoid ads or calls to donate or subscribe altogether? Go for it, you've got the power to do just that.

2. You're not under corporate control like you'd be on a 'platform' and can't be as easily bullied off the internet by angry scumbags in a social media lynch mob. Oh sure, it can still happen if you annoy people that much (see, a certain far right website that had trouble finding a host recently), but you're still more protected than on a service that cares only about saving its own reputation.

3. If you don't like the service, you can move elsewhere and keep the same URL, theme and content.

4. All money made via the site goes to you rather than a middleman.

5. And well, it's really closer to what the internet should be in general. We should be supporting people who setup their own sites and ventures, and who don't merely help walled gardens become more popular or dominant online.

Plenty of reasons really.

One rule for them, another rule for us. This sort of thing is how Trump was able to paint "the media" as being full of hypocrites, liars and crooks.

Edited to add: not a Trump supporter myself, by any stretch of the imagination. But this is exactly the sort of thing demagogues like to point to as examples of bias and unfairness. Although Trump himself might not, in this case, as he seems to be one of the beneficiaries.

Technically you make a publication and THAT gets a custom domain. Which is a little weird but overall works. The publication portal looks a million times better and has way more configuration options than a basic user profile.

> force pushing to the branch to take into account criticism on commits can be helpful

Hm? Criticism on commits should be additive. The commit was made, response was made, and a new commit addresses the response. Rewriting history breaks a lot of things and removes context. Another approach:

1) Add commit addressing criticism.

2) Squash when merging feature in to master, which is one of the only cases where I think rewriting history is OK.

Much cleaner master history, no rewriting history (which you should never do once another checkout sees your branch, including GitHub), and a number of other benefits. If you're routinely force pushing feature branches, something is broken in your workflow, IMO.
The statements don't contradict. Read the source, the other 24% are marked as "unknown" status, not as not having a degree.

Furthermore, that's the statistics for the whole company. It's higher for tech jobs. It's higher for younger folks. It's higher in countries where degrees are affordable.
Honestly a lot of that happened because of the people that caused the twitter rules changes tried to shit up ostatus.
That's true, but it would still need to reload, rather than just sending the little request in the background as you keep scrolling along.

Ask HN: Ruby or Python for 2018?
I'm having a really hard time deciding between sticking with what little Python I know and using Django or switching over to Ruby/Rails for developing my side project. I'm hoping anyone could jump in and voice their opinion on either side.

Clearly the Ruby community is experiencing some kind of event where the numbers are shrinking and some of the more prolific bloggers/contributors are talking trash and moving on and i'm not sure what to make of this. There is alot of tutorials and information already out there but it's getting dated and i'm not sure how much of it that was written in several-versions-old Rails will still apply and there's not ton of new stuff coming out. There seems to be a gem or tutorial for anything I could need to do but it's growing more stale by the day as their creators seem to be off to greener pastures.

Python has it's moments for me but after doing some tutorials I'm really finding Ruby/Rails to be just fun and exciting to use. I like how thorough the framework is and the development experience in general, with console commands for everything and automated tests re-running on save, and it seems they are adding greatly to the rails core, as opposed to Django's big 2.0 feature was basically copying Flask's URL system. I also like the community having a vocal figure like DHH kind of "leading the pack" with alot of methodology I agree with.

Is ruby really as bad as people say and is on it's way out? Is leaving Python for it, if my only interest is web-application development, a dumb idea? it seems like i'm standing at this cross-roads looking out and seeing on one side, Rails is awesome but people hate Ruby, and the other side is people love Python but Django is a big limp dick and I don't have time to program the kitchen sink with Flask. choosing between either is very confusing...

I think Twitter holds exactly zero power over Trump which is why they won't do anything about him even though they would certainly love to.

He is bringing them traffic and giving them more legitimacy than they have ever had before.

If they banned him he would just switch to another social network and spend the next year telling his supporters to boycott them and then find some creative ways to shaft them through the regulatory state.

Look at the situation with CNN and the ATT/Time Warner merger. Twitter is a very small fish compared to them.
I realize you aren't OP but I do understand the "making America great again" getting him votes by saying he's bringing back jobs. However, that's a political response that deflects from the real issues at hand.

What I am curious about is the quantitative easing we witnessed due to the 2008 Financial & Housing crisis and how that is being handled both in the economy and the governments around the world. The Fed interest rate is still at a historic low having just recently bumped to 1.5% [1]. For instance one of the view points I've heard is that Trump is trying to deregulate as much as possible in order to avoid the economy crashing. Maybe that a makes a correction from QE worse in the future. Maybe Trump is indeed just trying to siphon as much money/tax breaks as possible but I'm curious about the macro economics currently in play from different world viewpoints.

I was tempted to put an article on Arxiv announcing a new architecture for billions of "super-physical" qubits, but you've convinced me that not only would the real experts see right through this, but that it might bring me down to the level of some of the qubit measuring contests currently on display from the likes of IBM, Google and Microsoft.

Thanks for your responses. But basically in many cases mere ownership of assets can be proven by my physical ownership, e.g. a $50 dollar bill in my wallet or a paper stock certificate in my drawer.

And the main advantage is: With all these things I can exchange them from online (digital account balance) to offline (paper bill) and back at will without someone necessarily documenting this, e.g. when I gift someone $10 by handing him a $10 paper bill. And where and how I exchange any of these assets is my choice. With cryptocurrencies I am forced to transact via their respective ledger / blockchain. Isn‘t this a setback in consumer choice and make me more dependent on one specific technology and set of actors?

Edit: Corrected a spelling error.
In general, any PoW-cryptocoin quickly reaches an equilibrium with its costs. Changes in the difficulty, changes in the exchange rate (usually as a function of changing demand), changes in availability of current/next-generation mining hardware will destabilize this equilibrium temporarily.

The answer to the question "should I mine [coin x]" in order to make money is usually "no". You should mine that coin because you care about the network's security and decentralization or not at all. If you have access to next-generation mining hardware or cheaper-than-normal electricity, you might have a case for "yes". Or, as you indicate, if you have a malicious way to run the miner or mostly-malicious-"not-too-clearly-disclosed-to-end-user", that is almost certain to make money.
