> HOWEVER, that is going to cost money. Quite a lot of money. And, really, nobody is actually interested in doing that in the US.

This seems to imply that the US doesn’t spend enough money on education, even though it is (one of?) the highest spender(s) on education in the world (just from a quick Google search). I believe the real change needed is better management of how the existing money is spent.
Be sure to look at Zoho.eu too. I think it means all your criteria.

Two reasons. First, it's a clinical quality measure that needs to be collected by law. The government mandates that you collect certain data about X% of patients you are in contact with and transmit that data to relevant parties or else you will be penalized financially by Medicare.

Also, BP, weight, and temperature are important diagnostic indicators
Almost everyone does something that can be construed as being illegal. By allowing unfettered access to private information, this makes it much easier for laws to be selectively enforced in ways that benefit the government.
Your work sounds fascinating. I was previously into my photography, specifically film (both slide and col neg) - I'm still a big fan of the medium, except for the expenses and faff of getting a good scan and then getting the colour right.

Can you help me answer two things, as both have bugged me for years..?!

How do they achieve a look of tinted monochrome in films, which are still actually in colour? If that doesn't make sense - I'm thinking of films like Heat where there is often a strong blue tint which gives the feel of monochrome but it is all in colour. I've found was able to replicate it somewhat by combining the image with a quadtoned version, but it was still fairly far off tbh.

The other question is - how does colour gamut relate to the brightness of the display? Is it all to do with the dynamic range of each channel - i.e. the difference between black and, say, red, rather than overall brightness? I was at a photography show recently, and was blown away by some of the prints made by some of fuji's printers. Is it ever possible to match the gamut our eyes can see? And what colour space/gamut do you usually work in? Sorry two extra Q's there...

Thanks, and thanks for the fascinating info already.
Perhaps all intolerant groups harness violence, but it is clearly not a required element. They could easily substitute it with social stigmatization, and achieve a similar effect. Many religious people today will disown a son or daughter for coming out as gay. Were there no legislation stopping this, I imagine the same people would refuse to allow gay people into their businesses. If we were able to guarantee that all violence would be punished, the intolerant groups would quickly adapt while remaining intolerant.
I wonder how this approach scales to large code bases maintained by global teams. Instead of the usual discovery that each contractor or "rockstar" programmer created modules using their preferred language or in vogue technology, you might now find they derived their own obscure language flavors that read right to left and use "=" for function calls.

In large projects, readability and maintainability trump expressibility.
> ...not people who hold intolerant beliefs or practice intolerance.

The problem is that we've done a splendid job blurring the lines between identities, beliefs, speech, and behavior. We have no ground rules for how to be intolerant of some things without seeming intolerant of the people that care deeply about those things.

Rosyln might support incremental compilation, but, to my knowledge, it's not exposed in visual studio still in any meaningful way. See for instance https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34585588/is-c-sharp-comp....

Compilation in VS occurs at the project level. When you change a single file in the project, the entire project must be recompiled to generate the assembly. Eclipse on the other hand can recompile at the level of individual files, which is way faster, fast enough that it auto-compiles for you on save and the updates the editor with all errors and warnings discovered. No other IDE I am aware of can do this effectively.

> glMapBuffer doesn't have any ability to declare that you won't overwrite data.

Well, yes and no. glMapBufferRange, which is basically a drop-in replacement for glMapBuffer, does have such a flag, it's GL_MAP_UNSYNCHRONIZED_BIT.

glMapBufferRange requires OpenGL 3.0 whereas glMapBuffer exists all the way back to OpenGL 2.0 but this looks more like just an oversight in Wine than anything else.
Gee I wonder why I used the exact phrase organized as non profits.

How would this help solve the problem the article started with, that patients don't heal because they're deprived of sleep by being woken up every 4 hours? It's a problem everyone knows about (I saw complaints about it online years ago) -- so it's not directly a communications problem. Leadership I can see: it seems needed to dig the system out of an inadequate equilibrium (https://equilibriabook.com/molochs-toolbox/) but that's pretty different from college courses in leadership.
Heh ... in grad school, one of my friends was a postdoc working on computing bounds for the Higgs mass. He used to tell me (theoretical condensed matter) that I worked in the dirt left over from the real physics.

Fast forward 20+ years, and he is working on modeling semiconductor growth (like I was to a degree), and I am long gone from physics. Skipped postdoc/tenure track to go into industry post Ph.D.

My impression dealing with HEP folks for many years, is that a fairly large fraction of folks in the field look down on the rest of the world. Similar with the nuclear people. This is anecdotal of course, and a small subjectively interpreted sampling.

All that said ... One of the more interesting aspects of string theory is that it appears to have analogues and applications in superfluidity, and other phenomenon where you get spontaneous symmetry breaking[1], or where you have critical exponents and length scales[2].

This part of your comment on Russians is xenophobic as it implies some negative personality traits that are common for some nation.

This part is also xenophobic for the same reason - implies that all H1B holders are "thankful for exploitation".
There's definitely some level of gamma/color correction funtionality at the DRM level already in the kernel [1]. So my desires may already be largely fulfilled, and maybe userspace just needs to get its act together.

I believe I am paid rather well for the work I do, but then I also live in an affordable area. Developers make far more than average wages and often much more than many other careers of similar experience/education requirements.

I don't believe wages are the problem or that suddenly inflating wages will magically blossom into a supreme talent surplus. It is possible to make 6 figures as a trash collector, without any education, if you work your ass off. Yet, I don't see people without college rushing into trash collection even though they probably earn less than half of that.
Proper communication includes proper action respecting that communication.

You think it's just as irrational (as ascribing supernatural causes) to build a scientific theory? Who is denying humans are complex? Who is trying to explain everything with one central premise?

This sounds like first world problems. You have a doctor you trust to go off script? You trust that when your kids' teachers treat them differently they aren't just stereotyping and limiting them? Lucky you. While you work to unshackle your providers from the mediocrity of "best practices" (and I say that as someone for whom "best practices" is a bane in my own work) keep in mind there are a lot of people for whom competent cookie-cutter care is a wish, not a disappointment. In technology we can let a thousand flowers bloom and we all get to choose and enjoy the most beautiful ones, but in education and health care there's no natural elimination of the worst and amplification of the best. Everyone just lives (or dies) with whoever they randomly end up with, so worst-case performance matters just as much as best-case, and average-case matters a whole lot more.

This. Every healthcare system in the world needs to choose.

We simply cannot have healthcare for everything, including rare, expensive and/or hopeless diseases (or all 3 at the same time). As long as that's what we demand, healthcare will go wrong.

And let's please just stop pretending that this is somehow an America-only problem, caused by whatever (democrats: by not being public conservatives: by public largesse. And yes, despite how it sounds I do think both arguments have merit). True, America has it bad, but healthcare is failing, financially or otherwise everywhere in the developed world [1]. And healthcare in the non-developed world ... well, this was in the newspaper 2 days ago [2].

Healthcare is failing in the developed world for economic reasons. Those are not about to change, so it will get worse unless we figure this thing out with major changes (which ARE going to include limiting treatment).

I think what you see in reality (at least these days) is that if ANY of the downsides to any of the identities are pointed out, you'll see people rush to have to defend it.

Also, I believe attaching your identity to being a waiter would be doing the opposite of what PG is suggesting here in the first place.

I just don't believe I somehow missed all the decent jobs during a lul either.
I've never been able to feel comfortable understanding reference frames. Even considering simpler examples: So what if a probe is launched to catch our solar system's recent cigar-shaped visitor. Assume we catch it and want to bring back a sample of equal mass to the probe. So what determines the kinetic energy required to return this sample to earth? Is the delta relative to that of the probe, to the solar system, or to its origin? What if it is was accelerated to 0.1c relative to its launch site in another galaxy, but is only travelling at 0.001c relative to us?

Common sense dictates that the probe and the sample would require equal fuel to return to earth; but to an observer riding this cigar-rock, why would the universe cut our probe some slack if we changed its kinetic energy rather than the observer?
Thanks, that certainly validates my assumption.
I didn’t read the study, but an even bigger factor than SSDI is Medicaid expansion. Free insurance with no co-pays and deductibles is worth a lot of money if you consume any healthcare services, and you can only get it if you don’t earn more than 140% FPL.

I live in Canada but I am sure the hiring situation is not that different in USA,we had a job posting for Software devs and QA for almost 7 months in my previous work place, at one point we even told a candidate what topics we want them to study and be ready to talk but nah... this candidate came with zero preparation and it was after 7 months we found some one we liked (in terms of knowledge and fit). Just because a lot of people are waiting for jobs doesn't mean companies will hire them.
Strongly agree with your statement, but I still think it is understandable for interviewers to want to know how their interviewee will react in situations that can easily lead to big conflicts. If you reflexively act in a way that escalates in stressful situations, that's useful information in a hiring decision.
That may be true, but one aspect of the "good old days" (at least in the common cultural imagining of the "good old days") is that you could get more attention from doctors outside of a hospital setting, even at home, and that doctors had more time overall to spend with each patient

All the procedures you describe seem like very important improvements in quality of hospital care, but there is (or should be) more to the healthcare conversation than what happens in the hospital
Ontario basic income recipients report less stress, better health
You bring up good points and your last is particularly relevant in this case, as the patient arrived with what were termed simple problems, was expelled due to lack of finances, died suddenly a week later apparently due to MRSA contracted at the care facility, and the family is now considering malpractice. Your name on the line is a very real risk.

Unfortunately, I expect this may create a lawyer averse culture where process is as repeatable as possible, because in the event of a suit, systematic process is a solid defense.
As a lay person, I think the poles are much more symbolic of the total state of the weather/water system in the micro level than anywhere else on earth. An observation with several sigmas of difference from average at the poles probably translates to very widespread conditions.
As others have noted, outside of Hawai'i and maybe Maui, the islands aren't active (Haleakala is thought to have a few more eruptions left in it). Most of the people live on Oahu, although pretty much everyone else in Hawaii lives on Hawai'i and Maui. I don't know what the residual heat is on Oahu and the other islands; there might be enough to drive geothermal energy, but it's certainly not a renewable resource in those circumstances.

One thing that people haven't mentioned: geothermal energy relies on groundwater or injected water to extract electricity. Hawaii doesn't have particularly plentiful groundwater reserves; and the rock is generally porous enough that there is some concern for the leaching of toxics into the water supply.
I've never really been attracted to motorcycles, and while I've seen Harleys and thought "that looks good", it's never made me want one. This one interests me.

> Richard Stallman inconveniences himself to the point of absurdity

I'm not sure that's an apt comparison. rms simply has a workflow that doesn't require the use of proprietary software. It's not that inconvenient for him.

In on-topic comparison, it would be having a lifestyle where you'd simply have no use for a car: you live close to work, enjoy riding a bicycle, etc.

Of course, finding that workflow or lifestyle might limit some options, but once you accept that, it's not all that inconvenient.
I am aware. I have been buying them ever since I ran out of tax deferred retirement space. It's as much for expanding my effective tax deferred space as it is a secondary cash reserve.

Here’s the deal. H1b (and most but not all immigrant visas) are not meant to bring the best and brightest.

Before the major immigration reform that was passed in the 1960’s (by President Lyndon Johnson, who unfortunately gets no credit) all immigration to the US was based on the color of your skin. The immigration act of 1960’s changed that to include other non-white countries.

But this misses the larger point, the current argument always seems like the US is favoring the immigrant, whereas historically US needs those immigrants more than they need the US. For the simple reason that, US needs to have population growth (most western countries as well) without which there would be almost no long term economic growth. Either that or they start schemes to have the current population produce babies like the world has never seen before.

So it’s really for selfish reasons that the US needs immigrants not the other way.
Seriously, I don't know how do you draw such conclusions.

The main point was: It is really difficult for highly skilled people from India to immigrate from India. And because of this many highly skilled Indians want to leave.

First, you insinuated that letting highly skilled Indians in means not letting in low-skilled immigrations. No it doesn't!

Second, you insinuated that this means allowing every Indian. No it doesn't.

Seriously, which part of Highly skilled do you not understand!

The amount of flagging your post has seen, indicates that others agree with me.

Leonard Susskind's Classical Mechanics course: http://theoreticalminimum.com/courses/classical-mechanics/20...
Someone said it's surprising that all three branches of the U.S. government are actively trying to shirk their duties. The President blames Congress for inaction. Congress makes vague and overly complicated bills that mostly enables the executive branch to do actual rulemaking. The Supreme Court, as a rule, tries to be as narrow and impactless as possible.

The founders assumed each branch would compete for power. They didn't expect them to actively push responsibility on to other people. It seems like that's why we have a healthy and growing bureaucratic state these days.
