Some more math, adding a 1 cent component (not counting one time costs of R&D and tooling) to every new car sold in the u.s. (~17.5 million) would equal out to 175,000; which equates to a spending of $87500 per death prevented, a reasonable amount.

On a counterpoint, 15 times more people die from lightning strikes per year than this, so are kinda going after extreme edge cases here

the author manages to blame the egg for the chicken

not a great article in general based on the lack of statistics, the failure to address the influence of non-hetero relationships, and the lack of a disclaimer on the reliability of survey data. but the kicker is the author ignoring the inherent connection between the ability to find sex partners and the ability to find marriage partners

and instead blaming the knowledge economy with nothing to back it up

Technically gas is "soft" but doesn't seem that way when powder explodes.

It doesn't seem trivial to contain this energy - the vessel would still explode, given enough energy in the wheel? Certainly safer than launching a giant death Frisbee... But lots of energy is still lots of energy.

I guess it's a bit machine gun bullet vs hand grenade - about equal energy - but the grenade will just blow up a room while the bullet will go through walls and lodge in an engine block.

I call shenanigans on all four points.

1. Delayed adulthood along with the carceral infantalization that accompanies it is purely a modern phenomenon.

2. Jousting was not nearly as common as popular culture presupposes. The notion that pitched battles, particularly ones that involved the nobility fighting personally and carelessly in melees, were encountered so frequently as to suffer from CTE goes against the historiography of the era.

3. Smallpox lasts about two weeks (if you live). Dysentery lasts about one week (if you live). Gangrenous limbs either kill you, come off, or recover. None of these cause persistent pain. If I get the flu every year, I'm going to have a worse time than these people, regardless of the existence of opiates.

4. Low infant mortality is also a purely modern phenomenon. It also ignores all known sociology on infant mortality. When infants and children die in highly mortal societies, their value is accordingly diminished. In many cultures where infant mortality is extremely high, they're not even considered fully human until around their first birthday.

Humans are amazingly resilient when it comes to persistent stress and develop culture-ways to cope.
> I ended the interview early which apparently infuriated much of the company. Threats were made, but thankfully I never heard from them again.

Wow. Most would be thrilled that an uninterested candidate is moving on quickly rather than getting the job then immediately quitting or being terminated (both of which are things I have seen).

Trying to threaten a candidate into continuing an interview is just psychotic.

From the article:

> Should I use curly braces?

Bad: some_command $arg1 $arg2 $arg3
Extra bad (cargo culting unnecessary braces): some_command ${arg1} ${arg2} ${arg3}
Correct: some_command "${arg1}" "${arg2}" "${arg3}"
Better: some_command "$arg1" "$arg2" "$arg3"

> In the "extra bad" and "correct" examples, braces compete with quotes under the limits of tolerable verbosity.

> Shellharden will rewrite all these variants into the "better" form.

I prefer the "${bracey}" form for all variable usage. Yes it's marginally more verbose but it has the advantage of being consistent, easier on the eyes due to less overall quoting when part of full string interpolation[1], and cleaner diffs[2] as converting "${foo}" to "${foo}-bar" only leads to word-diff of "-bar".

[1]: "${foo} bar baz" v.s. "$foo"" bar baz"

The likes of Comsumer Report have tended to find that modern front-loading machines are almost universally more effective than the old low-efficiency top loaders popular in the US, and can also attain much higher temperatures (fairly basic models can do a >90 degree C wash, say). So that’s probably not it.

Though there might be an element of misuse. My machine warns in the manual to do a 60or 90 degree wash with no clothes every couple of months to clean the machine. I suspect most people don’t do this.
Oh, interesting - can you share some information as to why you think the monolithic approach is best?

Its difficult to find any evidence relating to bacteria in water systems, but its certainly not 100% disinfected, or free of bacteria.

The problem with washing machines is they are devices that are rather difficult to disinfect. If you were to take a brand new washer, as in never had water ran through it, you would probably see a drastic reduction in her results. However, after a few uses bacteria from the air, cloths, water, and other sources will eventually end up in the system. If the system is not vented, then wet spots will exist throughout each washing cycle carrying with it any bacteria.

With that said, what I am suggesting is the washing machine is the culprit for bacteria from city water, which is not 100% bacteria free. Add in the fact that High-Efficiency washers use substantially less water then older units, and you have a perfect bacterial soup machine. Older machines used more water, which allowed for further dilution and flushing.

Would the situation be the same if the water was 100% free of bacteria with a brand new washer that would be dried completely after each use?
Google already did that part.
The movie depicts a racist white stereotype of African-American people. The rest is just details.

An absurd comparison. The U.S. is not filled with Europeans suffering widespread, systematic and brutal discrimination - including, at the time, segregation and lynchings - based on racial stereotypes and prejudice.
They considered the impact because I remember the outcry from people who were against the regulations. They just didn’t care.
Frequencies are heavily regulated in the US as well. There are a handful of public bands, but anything else requires FCC licensing to use. Broadcast power is also restricted.

Of course, Germany could still be more restrictive, I don't know the law there! But there must be a fairly simple licensing path for some microwave bands, or nobody would be able to sell wireless routers. This is the same general class of equipment, so unless there's too much restriction on broadcast power to connect at kilometer+ ranges (with a focused directional antenna, rather than the broadcast antenna of a router!) there should be a way to make it work.

Staph isn't fun, but you should also be worried about HIV, hepatitis B, and other bloodborne pathogens.

Not all blood pathogens can be killed by traditional disinfectants, even bleach. You need to soak the affected article for 10 minutes with a caustic sterilizer such as Sporicidin or CaviCide (which unlike disinfectants will kill bacterial spores)

I've gone into length on this elsewhere, but a few questions sum it up:

How is money made in healthcare? Is it made by administrative paperwork and compliance? Is it made by selling drugs and treatments aggressively? Is it made by finding ways of cutting corners and increasing efficiency of care so hopsitals can pay less? Does any of that have anything to do with the perceived quality of life increase for a patient? Insofar as it does, what market forces exist to keep those things in check?

Who actually pays for healthcare? Under what circumstances? How much administrative overhead is introduced to make that happen and protect against fraud? How much of that overhead does your software have to deal with/take into account?

How resistant are healthcare systems to change? Is there any significant difference in the mindset of physicians today than there was back when they mocked folks for washing hands before delivering babies? What roadblocks exist to prevent systems from wasting time with crazy ideas from motivated and noisy physicians--and how do those roadblocks impact people doing software?

Who are the main players in healthcare IT? How did they get there? What measures have they taken to decrease competitiveness in their sectors, and how have they achieved vendor lock-in? To what degree, if any, can hospital systems work to circumvent or reinforce that lock-in?

What does the regulatory environment look like? How long does it take to do a "simple" FDA 510k filing (personal experience suggests a year and change depending on how you do bookkeeping, but that's neither here nor there)? What standards must you comply with? Are those standards public, or do you have to pay money for each and every one?

"One time, my wife, then fiancée, and I were meeting with Steve at Apple, and he wanted me to do a keynote that happened to be scheduled on the same day as our wedding. With a big smile and full of charm, he suggested that we postpone it. We declined, but he kept pressing. Eventually my wife countered with a suggestion that if he really wanted “her” John so much, he should loan John Lassiter to her media company for a day of consulting. Steve went from full charm to ice cold really damn quick. "
I do speak pictogram, but only the ones with previously established meanings. Bathroom sign? No problem. Box with a down arrow, no. But I do know Apple's "bankers box" icon for archive. Having seen actual boxes like that for archiving old papers, combined with having used Mail for years, it makes sense to me.

That first part though, where I know what a bankers box is used for, really helps make the icon connect. I think this is important, but at the same time, it's difficult because it's not universal. The "floppy disk" save icon has already turned into an arbitrary symbol for younger generations, and I expect the bankers box is well on its way (if not there already). Maybe FBI evidence rooms in TV shows will help it hold out.

Floppy disk has an advantage because at least it's consistent across a ton of software. If you make up an icon and use it in one interface and then redesign that interface again in 4 years, you have a much harder time getting people to attach meaning to it consistently.

It's the visual equivalent of a text button with "Mloroab" on it. Yeah I speak English, but I don't know what that does.

What's most fascinating to me is that the 50-64 age group spends vastly more time overall viewing nearly every medium except streaming TV and video games.

My own experience with my parents bears this out; the TV is always on and they're also on their phones as much or more than teens. But it looks like if habits don't change, there will be fewer hours overall spent on "consuming content" as the population ages.
you see news articles about norovirus all the time in the context of cruise ships because these are enclosed spaces with stable populations who infect and re-infect each other through fecal contamination and aerosolized vomitus. full decontamination (to stop the spread) without clearing everyone off the ship is very difficult.

imagine a house with small children (who are not good at personal hygiene) as a tiny cruise ship which you can never fully disembark, and then when the cooking/cleaning staff (parents) get sick, things get really ugly.

it's generally easier to clean the hard surfaces in your house (with harsh stuff like bleach wipes) than to clean the soft surfaces. that's presumably why she focuses on the laundry infection vector.

Failure to Protect – Kids Data in School
I feel like this misses the point of the D in Computer Aided Design.

Engineering and Product design are incredibly visual and collaborative processes that an industry standard CAD package provides the right tools for.

A designer my rough out a component and try it in an assembly, try to explore the ergonomics with human models or the design for manufacture and assembly by exploring it's space claim in respect to the rest of the assembly.

The aesthetics and GUI rendering are also extremely important for exploring where to go with engineering and aesthetic product designs.

Programming itself is incredibly creative, but programming as a CAD tool is, I feel, decidedly antithetic and sterile.

Yep, like all the actions at the bottom of the screen where you could most easily reach them, unlike iOS which places the back button (gesture notwithstanding) at the top left!

One of the Windows Phone's designers had a really insightful article [1] about how they designed windows phone fundamentally for a technology native who doesn't need shitty metaphorical leather textures on his glass screen calendar. It is where the famous movement against skeumorphism started (and thank god for that!). WP was doing flat design before it was cool.

On an old MSDN post (maybe?) I remember reading that the inspiration for the Live Tiles was a user whose central interest was to use the phone as liitle as possible to do his task as quickly as he could before he rapidly replaced the phone back into his pocket to get on with real life. I remember creating a new calendar entry in WP7 took three taps from start to finish, not counting typing out the title. There weren't many other fields to fill besides the Title of the entry and the time/date, and it set a default reminder time of 15 minutes before start time. Perfection. Before facebook and the rest dragged the carpet out from under them, you could get your twitter and facebook feed within the contacts app so you could get it all in one place.

Edited to add: I'm on a bit of a love fest venting session so here's more. WP designers recognized that OLEDs were amazing, so they made the phone White Text on Black from the get go! Thus, great battery life. Further, all the icons were also uniformly coloured, making the whole experience so cohesive. All the apps also looked like all the others, so the learning curve was nonexistent. They recognized how little juice engineers of android could suck out of their bloated multi core processors, so they made their phones work phenomenally well on even shitty, single core processors.

I fucking loved windows phone's early verions. It's a shame they've gone away. But an even bigger shame that they had no confidence in their original designers, and ended up adapting the hideous, appalling, atrocious, fucking retarded hamburger menu before they went away.

Paint fill is a great basic one.

A slight step up from that could be word search/boggle as it involves multiple data structures (trie, etc).

Sometimes you just want some 30-50 lines of piping a few commands and a couple of conditionals.

Python (the language with the most community traction to replace bash for scripts) is a royal pain to use for this without libraries that are present in no default system, and even with those it often ends up being more verbose than it should.

A full gasoline tank is pretty safe. But not if you place it next to a detonator in the form of a massive, spinning fly-wheel... If nothing else you might vaporizer the gasoline up into an improvised fuel-air explosive... Maybe even superheat the gasoline first (due to high energy, little oxygen).
