So you want a second, diagnostic colonoscopy to remove the polyp rather than converting the screening into a diagnostic at time of service?

This would require another bowel prep, another round of anesthesia, and even more operative time, and yes, another colonoscopy charge.

Is there some way to see what data they collect/ provide? My client has been providing insight into geothermal installs for 4-5 years now: http://groundenergysupport.com/wp/ -- still the most fulfilling thing I ever built.
I partly agree. But to play devil's advocate:

We have a lot of people graduating with useless degrees like History & Literature. These useless degrees often land people in a state of debt with no job. If a corporation(s) decides what degree you should get, there is a higher likelihood that at the end of your degree, you'll actually get a job.
It's only for 3 university's and two programs at those schools. I doubt it'll have any effect.
OK. You want to spend a bunch of money and show off. Cool. You know what looks better than a big, clear, well cut diamond?

A bigger one. Spend the same amount of money on an existing stone at Sothenby's or Christies.

I don't think this will have any impact on the price of tuition. The number of employees who will take advantage of these offerings isn't enough to make any impact for colleges.
It depends on the geology underneath (I have no idea what is under the area they are currently covering) the amount of heat exchange can vary a lot, even within the same type of soil/rock.

As well the diameter of the bored hole implies a given diameter of the inner pipes, and they have obviously different thermal exchange capacity, though you can use smaller pipes using higher pressure in them.

Because there’s suddenly a bunch of money available from the tax cuts.
I think your summary misses a main point of this article.

Entrepreneurs set up a very high-security art warehouse in Harlem (New York) with a main selling point that it enjoys a formal exemption from Federal import taxes on fine art. However, no such taxes exist in the U.S. The author believes that the tax exemption provides a kind of cachet for the warehouse even though there is no practical benefit, and that customers may not even realize that they don't get any financial benefit from storing artworks there.
It caught my eye that you said 'book' rather than 'books'. You might not be aware Three Body is part of a trilogy? If you've not read The Dark Forest and Death's End, you are in for a real treat.
We also did it this way before. However we paid for it in latency, and because we operate in cloud, network micro-outages. Once we moved it directly to the Postgres servers and deployed this fork, we saw pretty significant overall improvements.

Umm...the Warrington College of Business at the University of Florida is not an easy school to get into. While no where near Ivy league levels its still considered the best public school in Florida and most high school kids try their hand at getting in there before settling on UCF or USF (orlanda and tampa respectively). To a lesser degree the same is true of Miami though a lot of students there prefer FIU for the culture.

UF's business program takes a TINY portion of community college transfers each year and sadly most of them fail out of the weed out courses in the first year.

I am very skeptical of how many Walmart employees will be able to take advantage of this program. Can anyone with experience at the other schools listed in this article speak to the difficulty of getting in to them?
Seems like a reasonable assumption. They dominate everything everywhere - they have to maintain this position overtime by keeping mindshare as economic and environmental issues continue to tilt into the red.
Thanks for that, I had no idea! I stand corrected :)

First time I saw them I thought it was some kind of dystopian joke.
Most certainly. Another major benefit is that you folks provide storage, which inherently simplifies administering something like this. One benefit of Syncthing/BT Sync that I have not seen emulated by other vendors is peer-to-peer transfers, which can be considerably faster if both peers are on the same network or an adjacent one (including one on the same provider, or connected to the same exchange, or if the central service has no nodes on the same continent as the peer). The performance is just unmatched for such transfers, in my experience. A peer-based protocol could be a considerable help even if you don't intend on allowing direct peer-to-peer transfers, because (if implemented with sufficient care) it can allow you to choose better nodes to maximize throughput and integrity.

I think there is a very legitimate need for centralized administration, I have all of my Syncthing node configurations synchronized over Syncthing itself (which is a bit of a risk, but not overly so), but I would consider paying for something (if I could have similar confidence and flexibility with the client software) more integrated, with some safeguards against accidentally disabling configuration sync (which would require me to directly configure the node) to a specific node, and some integrated ability to have nodes self-report and self-allocate.
Technically yes because it increases demand but if you're concerned about the price of tuition this subsidy would be dead-last on my priority list.
Why picture frames tilt forward
Another observation I have had, it provides much clearer and realistic progress reports to management. You can track the normalized points per day executed by the team to see their overall velocity. You have clear check points about what has been accomplished (which is why a shipped product is critical, it removes any chance for something not to meet DOD)

On the dev side, I have never attended so many meetings. Technical debt being addressed is generally against the feedback loop, unless the PO/Leads of the team make it their first priority. Grooming meetings are a mix of people who care, those who don't, and vague stories. To save time, any new story got sent to one of the devs for a sniff test before grooming, to help ask critical questions early. Typically, the request is reasonable, but may run into a contradiction of the system.

I have also found that, forcing scrum (or waterfall) on a product that is running at a difference release methodology is horrible. Got a customer that needs a new thing built by a specific date? That won't fit, unless the date is flexible and customer stake holders can be deeply involved in the process. Waterfall at least forces the customer to define the project up front and allows for calling out changes to the plan and thus changes to the scope.

As with all the above, this sits on how skilled your project manager/scrum master/product owner are at their jobs. Anti patterns abound.

Yes, pre-sorting is necessary for comm to work. I didn't mention that because it's necessary for the commands in the post to work too.
If I'm reading it correctly, the 20% annual savings figure is for the financed installation. They claim 70% annual savings for the cash installation. So their claim is that even if you include the financing payments, you'll still be paying >20% less for energy throughout the year.

I wish more Scrum-advocates shared your opinion.

Hey, if Scrum is working for some team, I would be the last person to ask them to change it. I know how much I hate it when I have a workflow that is succeeding and then management arbitrarily makes me switch to Scrum. So I would not want to do that to people who are doing great with Scrum.

The reason I feel the need to deeply question it though, is that most managers don't express the attitude you expressed. Most often they see a workflow as something they need to enforce unilaterally, and that it should function to commoditize the underlying teams.

Given that this is how it's practiced almost everywhere, it's fair to ask why is that? Is there anything intrinsic to Scrum that makes that mistake easier? Or at least, is there something Scrum lacks which would make that mistake harder?

And then to finally ask if someone is advocating for everyone to be happy switching to Scrum, and advocating that every possible problem with Scrum is not Scrum's fault but always just the misapplication of Scrum (like they are interpreting a religious text or something), then I think it's fair for me to say, "prove it" and ask for evidence that the extra operational overhead of Scrum is empirically shown to be cost-effective.

So, OTA software update improved the brakes (dear commenters, please spell this word correctly). Why not have the brakes with that strength from the beginning? If I were to speculate, could it be because this setting would cause high brake wear on the long run?

And, what's stopping them from selectively applying this setting? Heh, Volkswagen would probably have loved this capability a few years ago.

$365/yr tuition at 3 public colleges, presumably on some bulk discount rate negotiated with suppliers.

At that rate, everyone attending public college should apply for a job at Walmart.

> With the new program, they will be able to obtain an associate's or bachelor's degree in either business or supply chain management (with more degree options expected to be added over time).

So it's effectively outsourced training for Walmart jobs, not a launchpad to any other skilled career.
Interledger and other such protocols are designed to facilitate exchanges across distributed ledger networks.

Pumping in more money on the demand side while keeping supply constant will do that, yes.
Finally! I get share my Booch story:

At OOPLSA 98, Booch convened the first society of software architects (or some such).

Having read all his writing (ditto Yourdon, Brooks, Rumblaugh, etc), I was super excited.

During the Q&A I finally got to ask “What is software architecture?”

Booch replied “Software architecture is what software architects do.”

Bubble popped.

I gave up seeking the council of the priesthood and blazed my own path.

I think it is remarkably superficial to call these degrees useless. Yes- initiating a career with them is more non-trivial than a stem degree but if you look ahead and make a concrete plan you can do great things with a History degree (especially if you go to a highly regarded school).

If we let companies decide what education will be subsidized and what will not, we are going to get a very homogenous

That sounds almost completely backwards to me. If companies are subsidizing education, it would seem that you're going to get a mix of subsidized educations that matches reality. Wal-Mart will subsidize people studying supply chain management, Tesla might subsidize people studying mechanical engineering or materials science, Google would probably subsidize people studying computer science, or mathematics, etc.

And never mind that plenty of companies, in my experience, offer education reimbursement where they define "business related" in a VERY broad fashion. I've had large corporate employers where they'd reimburse you for anything except hyper-niche stuff like "Medieval Basket Weaving" or something.

OTOH, letting the State decide what gets subsidized feels like regressing back to outdated ideas like Plato's "philosopher-kings" and a society where society decides your occupation for you, with you getting little or no voice in the matter.

And what happens when the State decides this stuff, and a bunch of evangelical Christian types gain control and suddenly the options narrow to "Christian Studies", "Creationism for Dummies", etc? Thanks, but no thanks.
Removal of polyps during a colonoscopy dramatically lowers the chances of developing cancer. That's part of why they increase the frequency of screening when they find some.

Of course it is an existing procedure and doesn't especially need to be researched (but it also costs a fair amount).
It all depends on how safe the OS software sandbox is. Which is something that recent HW vulnerabilities really has emphasized even if you're not running in ring0. And it's not like this is a new idea: as mentioned, Microsoft already built a research OS on this idea.

Personally, I say more power to this high schooler. It's just a research project, and it'll be interesting to see where it goes. Nobody is suggesting you replace Linux/OSX/Windows with this thing anytime soon.

I think the most important point to take from these super jobs is that if they don’t value the individual responsibilities enough to hire a dedicated employee to handle them, then they won’t value you, even if you manage to do the job of two or three people almost perfectly.

The idea is interesting, though the results have indeed zero applicability unless a few additional rules are added to the system - like proportion of macro-nutrients (fats/proteins/carbohydrates) and some sensible variability to the meal plans (ie, no point in suggesting "1 gram" of some food source, either you suggest a "portion" or nothing).

Personally, I think it would be easier to start with one's own dietary approach and try to put that into rules, then optimize it using additional guidelines (or removing some rules) instead of starting with something too loosely defined and letting the program choose different sources randomly.

And by what standards are you gauging its not ready? My point was if you wait until it becomes "safe enough", you'll be waiting forever because Tesla would be forever at the mercy of whose rules govern what "safe" means. Roads are hazardous places and unfortunately accidents are going to happen.

What I do know is that the Autopilot system will never be distracted, will never fall asleep, will never drive intoxicated or recklessly, will never disobey traffic laws like humans do. Tesla also has a financial incentive to improve their technology to prevent this from happening. Unlike humans who, for the most part, have far less incentive to drive more carefully.
You can give the employees training. You can pay them to have their behinds in seats somewhere while they ignore someone (whom you have also paid) who is trying to teach them something.

You can't make them care. You can't make them want to learn.

You might be able to show them that they ought to care, but you can't guarantee that they will listen.
