Health tech is relatively scattered with hubs all across the US. I suspect that you may be looking for healthcare startups. There's a large concentration in San Francisco, NYC and Boston. The DC area has the government agencies, which may be of interest to you.

My suggestion is to look through the techcrunch healthcare section for companies that look interesting: https://techcrunch.com/tag/healthcare/ and look through each month's HN Who's Hiring for healthcare

Additionally to add some nuance to angersock's comment: healthcare has a lot of compliance requirements and there are few incentives to adopt new tech. This can be a pain as you have real limitations on what you can do compared to other industries. That said, healthcare startups are doing some really cool things and there are bright spots among insurers and hospital systems.
Huh...I moved into a house about 2 1/2 years ago and the water heater I believe is set to only 122 (Maybe 126? I know it's in the 120s) and I never changed it because it seemed hot enough.

I have a tankless water heater, though. The water won't be at 140F for very long, so I can't imagine it actually killing very much bacteria.
Yes it works. it send you a sms which you have to reply yes to consent. It then gave me the correct location.
yes it is unbelievable. crazy.
Yup, was able to track my phone to within a block.
You must have had a pretty good life. I can name many encounters I have had for which I would have much rather have been at home watching tv. :)

That is Schopenhauer's argument against fear of death. Not that it was unique to him, but since Twain was writing during Schopenhauer's popularity, I wonder if he found it there.
1) How can I find out what to build if I don't have any significant corporate experience. I don't necessary like to work for software companies but I just have no clues of what "sells". (That is on a corporate level. Both services and products).

2) How do I get into conversations with decision makers? Cold approaches? I know I'm a decision maker for buying a sofa for my living room. But I get to discuss with the seller because I'm in his shop? How do I get to discuss with him if he doesn't have that shop to trap me there.
Seeing how badly a 'hegemony of the aged' cements in most places in the world in the form of wealth and political power, a lot of social problems and systems will have to be 'fixed' before that would be a net benefit.

Just go to you local city council planning meeting and see how gray haired and crazy the NIMBYs are, and they dictate local housing policy.
I just tested it with two phones in different states and it was within .54 miles.

OK, so Thunderbird plus Enigmail is probably most popular in Linux. And according to Robert J. Hansen:[0]

> By default, GnuPG will scream bloody murder if a message lacks an MDC or if the MDC is invalid. At that point it's up to your email client to pay attention to the warning and do the right thing. Enigmail 2.0 and later are fine, but I can't speak for other systems.

So if you use Enigmail, do make sure that you're not at v1.99. Just get the add-on in Thunderbird.

Also, of course, make sure that external resources aren't being fetched.

Edit: Oh, but damn. There's more in that thread. Enigmail >v2 can be forced to decrypt with MDC missing.[1] And this is a gpg bug:[2]

> ... and Patrick, moving faster than the speed of light, already has the bug triaged and bounced back. This is actually a GnuPG bug, not an Enigmail bug. ...

However:[3]

> It's worth noting, incidentally, the #Efail attack flat-out requires MIME. So inline PGP messages are not vulnerable, as there's no MIME parsing pass which can be exploited. So you're still safe, although this is still a bug that should be fixed. ;)

I also saw something about it requiring HTML decoding, but can't find it again :(

2) https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2018-May/06032...

3) https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2018-May/06032...

More: Yes, disable HTML rendering. In Thunderbird, select "/ View / Message Body As / Plain Text".

And:[4]

> The EFAIL attacks break PGP and S/MIME email encryption by coercing clients into sending the full plaintext of the emails to the attacker. In a nutshell, EFAIL abuses active content of HTML emails, for example externally loaded images or styles, to exfiltrate plaintext through requested URLs. To create these exfiltration channels, the attacker first needs access to the encrypted emails, for example, by eavesdropping on network traffic, compromising email accounts, email servers, backup systems or client computers. The emails could even have been collected years ago.

So basically, 1) the attacker embeds a link to the encrypted message, 2) the email client fetches and decrypts it, and then 3) sends plaintext back to the attacker.

There's this one recruiter company that calls me up every six months or so.

We always do the same dance: First they ask me for my most recent updated resume. I send it to them. It's a text file. No fancy formatting, no fonts, not even any Unicode, just ASCII. They always ask me to reformat it, and they always send me the same example resume, and they always explain to me very nicely that they want my resume to make a good impression.

I never do it.

Mostly because I'm lazy, but also because I don't care. That resume gets me jobs. I've never posted it to Craigslist and not gotten responses and a job.

Sometimes they nag me once or twice and sometimes I just don't hear back from them.

Now the thing that puzzles me about this the most is, why, for goodness' sake, don't they have somebody on staff to do the reformatting for me? My hourly rate is not low, y'know? I know they have an office full of people 'cause I've been there. If it's such a crucial step, why not provide it as a value-add service?

Oh well. Not really my problem. Just a weird recruiter thought I wanted to share. :-)

Smiles amid bloodbath: Twitter points out bad optics of US embassy
1. Do you include adolscence within childhood? Because that might be where we're disagreeing. How would you define childhood?

2. I don't think a comparison between cultures where horse-riding is fundamental to one where it is primarily a leisure activity makes much sense when it comes to estimations of danger. Yes, hunts could result in injuries; I don't disagree there. However, if attrition was severe enough to impede the function of the martial culture, it wouldn't be actively propagated.

3. Yes, disfigurements and scarring would be common in the aftermath of epidemics, but in those situations, it's so common that to form cultural persecuting complexes around it is difficult to justify. Lepers, on the other hand...

4. That's really my entire point: the reason it's so hard for you to imagine is because, if you live in the United States, the entire existence of death has become divorced from culture and daily existence. It's an aberration and a taboo. In a culture where death during childhood is common, there are cultural forms that account for it. That doesn't mean that it is or isn't a loss, but that it accomodates and integrates that event within a broader chain of being. As far as judicial injunctions against infanticide go, early mortality is incidental to life, not fundamental. Actively destroying a potential person, particularly within a truly local culture, when it isn't already part of the folkways, is of course going to result in reprisal. However the very existence of cultures that practiced exposure shows that it isn't fundamental to the human condition to viscerally value the lives of infants unconditionally. As far as PTSD goes, it's largely about being unable to cope with a traumatic event. In a functional society, it seems unlikely to me that PTSD strictly as a pathology surrounding child loss would be a thing--and the sociology surrounding it as I've read it supports that assertion.

I really think our disagreement resides in our perceptions of how durable/fragile humans can be under duress. I think humans are especially resilient, particularly if given adequate cultural coping mechanisms within a culture.
Yeah right. "How can we communicate this piece of secret info?" - "Oh, that's simple. You just need to a) switch to your mobile device, if you don't have one, buy one. If you don't have mobile phone line, buy that one too while you're at it b) install a software you've never heard about before - trust me, it's ok because nobody ever had any trouble with software downloaded from internet c) send your private information - namely, your private phone number - to it d) send your private information to me e) receive my private information about my phone number - trust me, it doesn't have to be communicated securely f) get secret information sent to your mobile device g) figure out how to get this information to your desktop device now securely, it's not my problem anymore, figure it out h) figure out how to remove this information from your private mobile device. You see, much simpler than sending an email!"
Pretty hard to watch them with their logins too. The Comcast stream for game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals was completely borked yesterday with a weird mixed-content warning in the dev console, and I'm fairly certain it wasn't just my account affected.
I'd absolutely suggest it for those environments, but that's because, to be blunt, there's a lot more exposure of mucous membranes in those environments than your average dojo.

The open sore is honestly a risk for both - S. aureus loves it some open wounds.
Excellent! I built a string matcher based on these same principles at Intel while working on Hyperscan but never released it. I'm pleased to see that you have discovered and publicized this yourself as I can say the cat is out of the bag. :-)

You can use PEXT alone without even messing with SIMD as long as there's enough good distinguishing bits in the early (first/last 8) parts of the string. The only thing that complicates this is that, as in the example in the article, sometimes some strings are proper prefixes/suffixes of others (which one is problematic depends on which direction you're using).
There's the sort of fact that is surprising initially but is remarkably mundane and expected thing for a chemical company to do. I do expect them to have some other branding though.

The new generation is busy consuming content filled with forced ads via product placement. They forget this to their detriment.
This isn’t a new issue and in past times societies found a solution for this, that solution is what some would call “patriarchy”.

Throughout our evolutionary history males have been terribly unsuccessful at procreating compared to females.

Which is why many societies essentially enforced rules of one woman for one men and made promiscuity a sin even more so for women.

Societies who didn’t tended to be much less stable and productive in the long run as they had a very large population of males that essentially had nothing to work for and no future.

This was also enforced by biology as sexual activity was very risky for women as the likelyhood of them getting pregnant was very high.

And a pregnant woman even today would find it quite difficult to manage on her own and most men do not want to raise someone else’s child.

Now in a very short period of time we have had 2 major social changes in regards to women.

Birth control which allowed women to have sex without the fear of getting pregnant and women entering the workforce in droves an for the most part as equals which meant that they were no longer dependent on men to provide for them and more importantly that a career became a socially acceptable life development path for women.

This essentially means that today women don’t need to settle for “lesser” men any more and can actively compete for the top percentage of men as they no longer compete for long term relationships and child caring support.

This inevitably would result in much larger percentage of men being left out of the game.

What makes this worse is that today society at least as far as the west goes essentially stepped out of its role as a matchmaker.

People don’t set people up anymore, even grandmothers don’t try to marry off their grandchildren anymore.
And while that may sound archaic it was a pretty big deal in the past.

Events like debutante balls and high school dances all of these were essentially there to allow the sexes to mingle in a manner that would increase the chances of coupling and this is something that goes out do fashion by the day.

Despite not growing up in the US my teens were filled with events that essentially “forced” people to ask each other out and that was a pretty good way of teaching people how to actually well date or at least approach a member of the opposite (or same) sex.

I’ve used to dismiss the whole “incel” phenomenon but I’ve learned that many people that I interact with on a daily basis suffer from this to some extent, I’ve worked with more than a few “30 year old virgins” all of them were while not perfect couldn’t be further from some hate spewing troll on the internet.

Those who aren’t and do still manage date also struggle a lot especially if the only dating they have time for is online dating / tinder and especially if they have a limited social circle that can’t help them out.

I only hope is that we find a solution and strike a good balance before alternatives come into play or worse before socities would amass a critical mass of “incels” because when you have a lot of angry men who can’t get laid civil unrest is quite likely to follow.
Tap water isn't guaranteed to be sterile, but it can be based on the condition of the water system and pipes.
UV lights are used to kill pathogens in a number of different settings (some hospitals have super-neat UV robots). The issue is you need direct UV exposure - a pile of clothing in a dryer would largely shield itself.
Would your relationship with your wife improve, or deteriorate, if you were deprived of the TV shows you watch? Maybe for you, losing TV would be a bad thing. Maybe. But for many, being entertained more easily is not necessarily an improvement to life. And that's kind of the point of the article. Technology is good... except for when it's not. We need to get better at evaluating it for what it really contributes to life.

Straight from teenage wisdom on freenode ##linux circa 2003
What I find weird about most of my generation is not that they don't buy overpriced cable subscriptions, but that they don't buy TV screens and instead choose to stream video at home on a 15" laptop screen at best or a 4" phone screen at worst. TVs are obscenely cheap these days -- to the extent that it blows my mind that anyone doesn't have one.

(And then once you have a TV screen you might as well pay another $10 for an HD antenna, which gives you completely free access to unlimited content, most of which is admittedly total garbage. But even if you use it once a year to watch the Super Bowl, Olympics, or live coverage of some local emergency, the tiny cost is easily justified. The existence and free-ness of HD antennas seems more or less unknown to most millennials, who have a "mind blown" reaction when they come over to my apartment to watch the Super Bowl or NBA finals or whatever and find out I'm paying nothing for it.)
They killed off the Windows Twitter app a few weeks ago too, replaced it with an iFrame to www.twitter.com

I really don't understand why a social media site so large and influential is spending so little on their own product. Twitter won't let anyone develop any clients, but Twitter itself won't develop any clients either. Twitter acts like they wished no one would log in at all, they act like they're just waiting to be acquired and shut down.
For me the exciting part died out with the understanding of how locomotion actually works. Now it's almost a solved problem, only requiring some hardware advantages and a lot of (excruciatingly boring) man-hours to implement.

So I'm only left with the scary part. This will hit the streets in less than 5 years. Things are going the exact opposite direction of where they should be for the deployment of such robots to be beneficial to the masses. I don't like this, and I'm not alone.
Supreme Court strikes down federal law prohibiting sports gambling
Thank you for the long list of examples. I think some of them are a little fringe and fall outside the scope of my argument (eg. Sun literally "toying" with Java device drivers, or Microsoft compiling their C code with a C++ compiler), and you haven't refuted my point that the kernels of the most popular systems are still written in C for the most part.

Listing endless reams of discontinued research systems (eg. Singularity and Midori) isn't reinforcing your point.

Redox (Rust) and Zircon (C++) are more what I'm alluding to.
However Redox AFAIK doesn't even have USB drivers yet and Fuschia is even less useful in its current state. These systems have to be available, and I venture, usable, in order to be able to displace eg. Linux which is already both of those things.

I'm hopeful we can see more progress in the next few years on some of these. It's nice to see some serious attempts in this space, however with the current pervasiveness of and dependencies on C at so many layers of these systems, I suspect it is really going to take much longer than hoped.
It occurred to me some time ago that the big question is the opposite: What do we not do that humans thousands of years ago did with their brains?

My thoughts went like this:

Since the brain is quite expensive evolution would not have grown it so much if it had not been needed. But this means humans really used all that brain.

That means if we now use it for so many very different things in a very - very! - recent technological world, with an equally recent extreme increase in population density worldwide (both movement top cities as well as the unprecedented total population size increase), what exactly did they do?

I think that this indeed is a very interesting question, I'm not sure we can answer it. Medieval brains are one thing, but what about 20,000 years ago? The brain must already have been pretty much the same.

Interesting stuff, but given bash's

- Relative unportability
- Poor noncompliant sh interpreter
- Poor performance (can be 4x slower than POSIX sh shells like dash for certain tasks)

I personally think bash is always the wrong choice. Use POSIX sh (or a real language). POSIX sh is 98% the same thing, there's no good reason to even use bash over sh in the vast majority of cases. It's just this blight that won't go away.

Given that bash is mostly sh anyway, most of this writeup applies to sh, too. AFAIK the only thing bash-specific here is arrays.
Most of this is fine, but not all. In particular, command failure conditions are a huge source of bugs, but `set -euo pipefail` is not going to solve all your problems. `set -e` is just as likely to cause problems because it can cause scripts to silently fail. And pipefail can pass through errors that aren't relevant.

These are great tools to have, but don't blindly invoke them as magic spells if you don't actually understand the implications.
Because we’ve exported our externalities. Global industry doesn’t choose to manufacture in China because of the great views. Their regulations are effectively non-existent. Those regulations in the West protecting the environment, the community, the workers etc? They have a cost that many consumers are unprepared to bear.

The rules are indeed different.
This is fine work, and well presented. The only flaw (which I've discussed on Twitter with Trent) is the performance analysis against a single string at a time means we can't really analyze the effects of branch prediction on a realistic input (as the branch predictor will converge to 'perfection' almost immediately). I think these effects would be small, but it really does need to be properly analyzed.

Not sure if you're joking, but no, that's not the reason. At some point I hooked up an electricity consumption meter, and it was a surprisingly short timespan that the machine used for heating. The draw was around 1-1.5 kW during the heating phase.

Your machine has longer and shorter programs, my 60C wash takes about 3 hours by default while a quick was is obviously considerably faster.
Yes. It provided a radius, with the center ~6 blocks away from me.

Ugh...
I got the feeling something like this was going on when collection calls became responsive to my location changes the majority of the time. Imagine having no real enjoyment in life, being working poor, and each time you do leave the house you’re greeted with a reminder that you’re in debt and they’re watching you. I don’t doubt the depths of what we’ll find companies doing with access like this.
