That sounds extremely naive. It's like being surprised by how pervasive basketball is for the LA Lakers. I mean, what exactly did you believed the company did?
Just FYI, doctors very rarely cause opioid addictions: https://www.fivethirtyeight.com/features/what-science-says-t...

No, contactless cards could be hacked in the exact same way cars are, but it's not worth the trouble since you would need an authorized terminal and the most you could steal is £30 - it's just not worth the trouble.
I am not too sure about this. The only thing that makes bash tolerable for me is that it is consistently the same kind of ugly across all the platforms.

Still, one has to worry about and take care of programs that they depend on in their bash scripts and make sure that the correct version is installed and so, that is hard enough, I don't think adding new syntax and package management is going to help Bash, only make it more complicated and error-prone.
Things are usually structured to prevent suicides. For example windows in tall buildings are locked, helium gas for balloons is now mixed with oxygen.

Most methods have non zero chance of survival and consequences.

You weren't built to kill yourself, you were built to survive. That makes it difficult to harm yourself even if it would allow escape.

Hi herf, your software is really nice but one thing that kept me from using it (and adopted since Apple's 'night shift', though I don't use all days) is that I enjoy photography. Probably you heard this a few times, but one thing that I'd love to have is this off for photos (I'd switch from being an eventual user to being a full-time user).
We do the same thing as well. As long as the candidate can explain their abstractions in pseudo code we are good. We also keep to a 1-1 between interviewer and candidate so that the candidate isn’t intimidated.

I’ve interviewed at Facebook as well and although the interview was not successful I have never been nitpicked about syntax and compilabiltiy/runnability of my whiteboard solutions. I came off with a very healthy appreciation of the way they try to engage the candidate and reduce stress.

I agree, but I think the headline for sons wouldn’t need the math bit, as boys apparently don’t gravitate away from math because they are better at something else.

But sons surely need to practice, in general, because right now women are doing a lot better at higher education. At least in my country, women are increasingly getting into academia while more and more young men don’t even finish the Danish equivalent of high-school.

I’m not a supporter of equality of outcome, but I think we need to get better at making sure everyone has a better opportunity for fulfilling their potential. Regardless of what they want to do.

If that’s making girls practice math, then that’s a good idea.
CBD for pets: Does it work?
Although the nytimes has always served as a mouthpiece for the current administration (this is how they get such good access, this is why they have remained on friendly terms with the Trump admin despite their mainly liberal readership), they have always run the occasional piece of real interest contrary to the official narrative (i.e. real journalism).

For example during the Obama administration (which increased the use of drone & missile attacks globally) they posted this inditement of the assassination without trial of a teenage American citizen:

a) Is that an opinion or a fact?

b) Are you taking the opinion/assertion "You often hear Sili Valley leaders extolling Ayn Rand" as a fact, and believing the obligation is on me to disprove it?

I'd be happy to hear any disagreements about things I personally said though.
It had a direct impact on several doctor's prescription habits. This is a good thing. Now, did it do so while ensuring doctors maintained the same pain management outcomes for their patients?

I am dubious and concerned this doesn't appear to have been addressed in their studies.
I strongly second editing at least the "this startup" part; it's plain clickbait.

How to write a RFP/RPQ which every software house will understand
I'd love to see plain packaging for everything. Sell your products on their actual merits, not just on whatever flashy colors you put on the packaging that gets discarded anyway.
Sorry but that makes no sense from a policy point of view.
Is the average reader of NYTimes really so well-versed with Latin that they'd know phrases such as "sine qua non"? I've typically seen such phrases used when the context makes the meaning clear, but this was a real stumper, and my guess is it was for others too. Why is it considered good UX to make your readers switch context to do a google search and then return to reading the article? I'm not a native English speaker, and perhaps this speaks more about my non-elite education.

The "produce the ideas during the interview" part is the fault of whiteboard interviews. There's nothing that says an interview should cover brand-new material as opposed to material the candidate is supposed to be familiar with.

If communicating ideas is part of your job, I'd bet any amount that you decide what ideas you want to communicate well before you do the actual presentation (or other physical delivery of the ideas).
> There are a lot of people who does not know any other languages, believe it or not.

This is the only reason I can see to use this over perl (which it seems to be heavily influenced by) or python. Then again, learning how to use these higher level language features would probably require equivalent effort to just learning a beefier scripting lang such as those.

Also: As far as hack value, what a great project. I don't mean to bikeshed.

I'm hoping the doctors just got better at finding out which patients were going to multiple doctors for opiates at the same time, since that was the case for almost all of the deceased. The average decrease was only 10% less new subscriptiona. But I wish they studied that also.
I hate to say it but generally people are overweight because they eat more than they should. Not much more to it for majority of the overweight population. Exercise is great but lack of it isn’t the obesity drover.

Second that. Serverless is a buzzword like AI. But the concept is brilliant from many perspectives. It may save architects and developers from db scaling headaches.
Indeed. It even has (or at least had in previous versions) a configurable ping-time monitor that traded some bandwidth for interactivity - which is another part of what makes it work so well.

I have 5 chronic diagnoses all considered separate (physical and mental) but in truth there is some underlying correlation between them.

The first thing I tackled was my sleep disorder, followed by being aggressive about reducing the stresses in my life that I could control. The sleep bit was more controlling routine than medicine- pretty much ever sleep pill was worthless for one reason or another.

It took a few years, but finally I was art a point where I could comfortably cope with everything but any sort of long term stress would bring back depression and anxiety. Lexapro has been amazing in that regard.

Ultimately, friends, family, and the private shame of how selfish my thoughts were kept me going, forcing a discipline, reducing stress, a few months of therapy and now medicine, and I feel like I haven't in 15 years.

As noted above, Julia does too. Heck, if you wanted to, in Julia with probably <100 lines of code you could create an array type that only allows prime numbers as indices. And subject to the constraints of the raw calculations needed, it would be as fast as it can be---there is no "extra" performance overhead associated with doing basically whatever you want.
You don't need to master Latin to understand "sine qua non".

A few languages have latin expressions as part of the proper language way of speaking, vs colloquial language, "sine qua non" being a relatively common one.

So given the intended audience of NY Times it doesn't seem out of place.

Likewise in Germany it would surprise me to read such expressions on The Bild, on The Süd Deutsche Zeitung, perfectly reasonable.
Many of the isps modify your stream - Verizon used to add a subscriber id (so anyone can track and correlate you despite your best effort). Comcast used to add their messages into incoming html.

I've always felt that euthanasia gives people a better chance by potentially turning a suicide attempt into a chance for medical intervention before it happens. How do you know that this is a net negative?
Depends on what the goal is. Activists often have this bad tradeoff - be either reasonable but also invisible, or be unreasonable and thus visible, but risk polarizing people (including their own supporters) against their own cause. PETA is a great example of the latter; they're very successful at making people stop being vegetarian and support factory farming just out of spite.

Length of tenure is definitely not a good enough gauge.

I've worked with folks with 15+ years that could technically code but they took eons to deliver and their solutions were unmaintainable. Some of them with advanced degrees too.

Small sample size, but the few folks I'm thinking of were such bad hires that could have been avoided if we had them write some code or put the proper emphasis on the coding exercise we had them do.
Bounding data races in space and time – part II
This is a common argument used to detract from protests (I'm not saying you are using it deliberately). People ask why people have to be so distruptive and question the methods to move from the issues and focus on the individuals. Why can't the protest just be a little more reasonable and acceptable to them. Even though the only acceptable protest to the questioners would be one that didn't happen and caused zero disruption.

Protests are intentionally disruptive to get attention. Otherwise they wouldn't work and news reports and stories about the issue being protested wouldn't be made. We know this protest worked because we're still discussing it.
Of course it could, as we've seen with PETA many times and as the Critical Mass is continuously proving.

US$120 / ton of pure carbon, or about $32/ton CO2 should be about right. Ramp it up over 6 years, front loaded a bit, starting with $30/ton C, increasing $15/ton carbon per year.

If that were done in a largely revenue neutral way on a worldwide scale, we could turn carbon emission around in a hurry. I'd actually advocate for putting aside some of the money to reward people actively removing airborne carbon dioxide down to the 290ppm threshold, not just holding at 400ppm.
EXCELLENT WORK!

I love how it took the bash to much higher level. I Bash is something you'll end up using, accepted or not. It's available by default and is the best (only?) thing to connect all the dots together when working on Linux machines, either local or servers.

This would be fairly common knowledge among lawyers, who become familiar with many Latin phrases in law school. But I agree that this was not a particularly good usage. I would have instead described math skills as "foundational". This communicates the same concept without being pretentious or opaque.
True, but there's also a more rational angle to this - as an activist group, you have to ask yourself, how much sympathy for your cause are you willing to sacrifice to get more attention?
I went to the dentist around four months ago to get a tooth pulled.

I was given 36x325Mg Hydrocodone (not a typo) and 14x600 Mg Ibuprofen. Which is pretty absurd.

I only used 6 of the Ibuprofen. I'm not sure why I wasn't just given a two day supply of Hydrocodone and if more was needed I could have just called it in asking for a more if the pain was bad.

It was such a over-prescription I hope it was just sloppy handwriting.
Price per pack or as the chart outlines 25 cigs, seems to be wrong for Canada.

A single pack can cost 11$ CAD to 15.50$ CAD, with cartons costing ~100$ or higher.

Where as in the US you can find 5-8$ pack, and cartons as low as $30$ USD.

The chart shows Canada and USA in the same price/color category.

Canada has been taxing more, and price keeps going up to curb smoking.

Currently trying to implement basic plain packaging.

I would say alot of teens are skipping cigs and straight to vaping.
Where as many adults are quiting cigs or switching to vaping.

I also know of people who increased cannabis use to cut down/stop smoking cigs.

Someone else noted the effectiveness of nicotine... Which is misunderstood.
I am someone who use to smoke a pack a day, to vaping for oral fixation.

My nicotine intake increased with vaping, but the satisfaction was not the same.

The satisfaction in cigs comes from mix in nicotine and increase in carbon monoxide in blood stream mainly.

If anyone is trying to quit, suggest reading: Alan Carr - easy way to quit smoking.

I will admit I'm biased: my mother died of an overdose. She was a drug addict. I, on the other hand, have a painful autoimmune disorder, but I've never taken medication. Yet every doctor I've met in the past ten years has looked at me and immediately treated me like a drug addict. Personal experience aside (as it really is not quantitatively demonstrative of anything larger) I've done my best to research this issue, and I'm still somewhat at a loss. Based on these numbers and the 2016 CDC list of leading causes of death, opiate-related deaths account for .02% of the population. On the other hand, I would guess we have quintuple that in people who suffer chronic pain. Though, I can't say how many use their medication as prescribed, I would guess it's at least more than .02% of the population. Addiction is not simple, and even people who started responsibly taking medication could develop an addiction. I don't think it's fair, however, to punish the many people who depend on pain relief. Lax laws in the 80s and 90s have now pendulum-swung to the other side. Patients are seeing their medication reduced without tapering, they are given no other option than to "suck it up," and all along, they are variously demonized or treated as though they are weak. It's a complicated situation that I am not equipped to solve. I do think there needs to be a middle ground. There needs to be a better effort that will help the entire patient population.

Thank you, friend.
The (ever increasing) inflexibility, or perhaps more politely, extremely focused opinionatedness, of Gnome shell makes this seem an unfortunate choice for a project requiring so much adaptation and innovation.
What is the predominant mechanism of becoming addicted then?
Imagine having a solution that works for you. It manages your pain. You aren't abusing your medication. Your doctor gets this letter and all of a sudden that option is taken away. Now, that drug hasn't been shown to be unacceptable when taken correctly; and you have been. Now you're in pain again and the solution that had been working for you isn't available for some nebulous reason that isn't directly related to the benefit/risk trade-off you and your doctor already agreed to.

So, your doctor takes you through trying some other drugs, again, just as they had before they prescribed you opioids - as is current best practice. Of course, now, for your doctor that option of opioid use is no longer available, even though it is still there - out of reach. How would that feel? Living without pain management because your doctor fears losing their licence or a letter from the coroner more than helping you manage your pain.

These studies need to ensure doctors are reserving opioids for worst case management, but still prescribing them when nothing less works.

These studies need to be longitudinal. Do patients maintain their quality of life? Are doctors trying less addictive/abusable drugs first?

Focusing on reduced opioid prescription is like focusing on reducing antibiotic use. You have to track infection rates to gauge if the ineffective usage has gone down while maintaining outcomes.

You can't just track usage to gauge the effectiveness of a program. It's a vanity statistic unless you measure outcomes. Outcomes are the whole point.
"Far greater risk comes from simply being young and from using alcohol and other recreational drugs heavily. Ninety percent of all drug addictions start in the teens — and 75 percent of prescription opioid misuse begins when (mainly young) people get pills from friends, family or dealers — not doctors. Opioids are rarely the first drug people misuse."
A primer on documentation content strategy – Increment: Documentation
This is absolutely insane! With all the recent bugs and features that looks like backdoors I have completely lost faith in x86.

We need simple open ISAs (like RISC-V) and a handfull of trusted organizations that inspect the manufacture processes to protect ourselves from this. A bit like how countries and organizations send people to inspect other countries democratic voting processes, or like how IAEA inspect nuclear stockpiles etc.

I call for:

+ Open source.

+ No creeping featurism.

+ Multiple inspection organizations that watch the process from source code to final chip product.
It is different.
