> Put another way, a heart attack patient dies in the ER about 11.9 percent of the time overall—but the research team found women with heart attacks will die about 12.4 percent of the time if their cases are handled by male doctors.

Isn't this a very dangerous headline? A 0.5% difference?

Physician data is not anonymized, so correlation is pretty easy.

With drugs, physicians are treated like sales representatives by the pharmaceutical companies, who get real-time data from the pharmacies about prescriptions as they are filled. They are assigned quotas based on demographics and "education" or other programs are targeted based on how they prescribe.

I was less successful in learning exactly what information was shared re: the medical treatment, but because my employer administers hospital coverage separately from physician billing, we believe that only hospital related claims were used. The folks who I spoke to theorized that if I used an HMO, the anesthesia would have lowered my wife's "score" for further marketing.

The hospital network is good at not answering questions and I've gotten very little from them over 3 years -- I'm now thinking about lobbying a state legislator(s) about it.

They also have information about the doctors that allows them to tailor the marketing message.

This might be a good place to start learning more:

That is indeed the vision being sold for the gig economy. And I'm sure that it can work that way for some. But for the vast majority, even short term, it's looking like a con. It's like the 10s version of multilevel marketing.

And who gets to define "racism"? If I defend my company's policy of only accepting resumes from coding boot camp graduates if they're a woman, Black, or Latin is that racist or sexist? How about if I criticize these policies? I know plenty of people that would call the former racist and also a good number of people that would say the same of the latter.
Back in the day, we had the "fairness doctrine". If media gave an interview to a Democrat, say, they also had to give an approximately equivalent interview to a Republican. (Approximately equivalent in terms of length, not necessarily in terms of content.)

But they didn't have to give one to a member of the Communist Party, or to a National Socialist, or to a member of the KKK. It was major players only. They didn't have to give equal treatment to the fringe, of any flavor.

I said it was basically the idea of 'precedents' in law—previous court decisions increase the likelihood the the court will decide the same way in the future. And I pointed out that that probably helps to prevent legal systems from having an 'oscillating' stance on the legality of certain things (that's the 'role' I mentioned earlier, which made it stick for me).

(I think it was pretty close to that—but it was also like 6 years ago.)
> Why is it up to the younger generation to call off the inter-generational war?

It's up to those throwing rocks to put the rocks down.

> Facts are facts

Aside from ascribing some kind of universal evil intent to people simply based on when they were born, which is idiotic, those are cherry-picked facts that do not accurately sum up the economic reality of how the US got to where it is now.

For instance, why not include the fact that the older generation was responsible for the most prodigious productivity growth the world has ever seen? Or that they've overseen massive increases in longevity, decreases in morbidity and childhood mortality, huge increases in number of people achieving higher education, etc?

They overcame the enormously damaging economic situation of the 1970's, which the younger people have absolutely not a clue about, and many have suffered decades of decreasing employment and wealth as a result of economic shifts in manufacturing and resource production.

There are economic challenges in every generation. The ones facing young people today are not the same as the ones that faced their parents and grandparents. It does no one any good to try to stir up hatred at a sub-group to gain political power, which is what the generational warfare is about. Leave that for the Fascists.
What. Apple has no issues trusting Apple 100% completely, nor do any of their users. Or more specifically, Apple itself is simply an inseparable part of the core trust foundation since they control the entire stack of hardware, firmware and software. You calling this "hypocritical BS" is just nonsense, it's like acting shocked that Apple doesn't allow any random developer to issue microcode processor updates even though Apple could. Of course Apple can, there is no equality there. Apple develops private code and dogfoods it before making it public. Any platform developer by definition has to do low level stuff as part of making higher level stuff. This is not difficult.

"Hypocrisy" gets thrown around way too often on the Internet, and if you do so you are basically always wrong, either because it's not actually hypocrisy at all (the word is not a synonym for "anything I don't like") or because it's a meaningless thing to say anyway vs more substantive complaints.

Hate speech is correctly generally protected by the first amendment, and it should likewise be protected as free speech by private parties.

Hate speech is not protected by the first amendment. It is correct that something being hate speech by itself not sufficient cause for it to lose first amendment protections. But hate speech can loose first amendment protections for all the reasons other speech can; commercial speech, fighting-words and liable/slander included.

And of course, the first amendment doesn't require Apple or Facebook to host anyone so them banning first amendment protected hate speech is not a problem by itself, which is to say the second part of your claim isn't justified.

I mean, Jones' vicious rants are hate speech, slander, and falsehoods. They are intended to damage innocent, a-political, private individuals and have indeed damaged a-political, innocent private individuals. Which reason a company actually gives to ban Jones probably involves a PR calculation ("hate speech" sounds best) but whatever the given reason, I can't see this as unjustified.

(HDR VP9 Profile 2 is isted as a new feature, as per "Android 9 adds built-in support for HDR VP9 Profile 2, so you can now deliver HDR-enabled movies to your users on HDR-capable devices." yet I wonder if this is effectively a telco-friendly video codec not widely used by media publishers or creators?)

No joke. CloudFlare is near the bottom of my list of worries. I'm most concerned about my bank. They know goddamn everything about my spending history, and it's a complete treasure trove of data because it actually shows where I spend money.

I'm second most concerned about my ISP. They see every outgoing connection I make, and have no trouble tying it all back to me.

Cloudflare is... just not that big a deal. Are you concerned about Microsoft being able to MITM every connection to a site hosted on Azure? Amazon being able to MITM every connection made to AWS? Google being able to MITM every connection made to GCE?

"Yes" is a fair answer, but it means you're using a minuscule fraction of the available internet. Otherwise I don't really see the need to pick on Cloudflare. They're doing exactly what the company that's using them asked them to do (and getting paid for it too...)

This looks cool, however it's very similar to a service I've been using for the past month called Parsec[0].

I've successfully managed to play Fortnite (don't judge :)) on an AWS g2.2xlarge (via Parsec) with an acceptable level of latency. Apart from the occasional artefacting (most notably when starting), it's been an enjoyable experience and a real insight into the potential power that cloud gaming really could hold.

What's so great about Parsec is that they allow you (at a somewhat marked-up rate so far as I can tell) to rent an AWS server directly from the client and get started.

That being said, my Parsec credit is running a little low now so I might have a go with Rainway :)

I would like to know what the difference — if any — between Parsec and Rainway is? As far as I can tell, Parsec was first, so it'd be interesting to know if their tech is superior.

there is no fundamental reason cryptocurrency "mining" should be energy-intensive, it was & is merely an unnecessary side-effect of the first cryptocurrency (Bitcoin) and its spin-off's / copycats. Sadly a large fraction of the crypto proponent "community" misinterprets the unnecessary energy expenditure as the source of "value", while the majority of the crypto opponents similarily consider it an unavoidable side-effect of cryptocurrencies and hence an argument against cryptocurrencies in general...

The article does provide a explanation that would seem to correspond to the result.

> Still, she adds, the study raises many troubling questions about the treatment of women in the ER, “like the concern there’s a systematic bias where male physicians are not listening to female patients’ complaints as readily as [those of] a man.”

Simply put, if social conditioning causes men to take the concerns of male patients more seriously than female patients (OR inversely, social conditioning makes female patients less likely to share potentially relevant information with male doctors in the first place), it would explain the difference pretty easily.

Personally, I always prefer to have a female doctor when given the option. My theory is that even if only 0.1% of male doctors harbor a bias against female patients, and even if it's only a mild bias in most cases, I can avoid that chance pretty much completely by going to a female doctor. I guess it's possible for female doctors to be sexist against women, but it seems very unlikely given that most female doctors themselves would have experienced sexism against women at some point and thus would be more aware of it and more invested in overcoming it.
Trump Derangement Syndrome
I know it feels a little unfair to people of higher tax countries who feel like they deserve certain services from their government and (at least the majority) are willing to pay for those services through their taxes. But another cost of these government services that they need to be aware of is that it makes it more difficult to attract large multi-national employers to the country. Large companies can choose which country they are taxed in just like you and I can choose which market we shop at. If your preferred market decides to raise prices while another decides to lower them, this would not be considered a loophole. It would be considered business savvy or competition.
>going from "I can't draw" to "I can draw quite well" takes days, not years

Only if you consider a messy "chicken scratch" style good. I can draw things that look acceptable when you blur your eyes enough (which is indeed easy to learn), but I wouldn't claim to "draw quite well" unless I could do it with clean lines, which takes years of practice. When evaluating difficulty of a skill it's more usual to measure by difficulty of mastering it, not difficulty of getting beyond the very basics, and by that measure the mechanical side is much more difficult than the visual side.
Amazon is successful because it brings nearly everything a consumer wants within two days' easy reach. They are able to do so because they have an excellent logistical ground game, maybe a peerless one. Without challenging them on this you are not truly competing with Amazon.

This is more like competing with instacart or similar. That's a reasonable market, but operationally is a very hard nut to crack. I don't think having volunteers on bikes is going to manage it.

So the number fluctuates and it depends on how much availability you have and when, but for example we tell people that 15 interviews of availability will generally translate to about 10 interviews. This varies by season, as we add new clients, etc. So in the fall generally just about every hour you make available we can book, but in the summer when everyone's on vacation it'll be lower.

We also do deals with our more engaged interviewers to either employ them full time, or give additional contract work to help fill in the hours when they have more desire to work than interviews available. For example we have interviewers involved in mentoring, reviewing other interviews, creating new questions/formats, engineering work, etc.
AWS Serverless GM Headed to Coinbase
No, it's really just an iterator in Julia 0.7 or 1.0. At the same time it's just a function call.

for x in itr
println(x)
end

Is exactly equivalent to and syntactic sugar for

y = iterate(itr)
while y !== nothing
x, state = y
println(x)
y = iterate(itr, state)
end

What makes this interesting is two things:

1. It uses Julia's multiple dispatch: every iterator has to implement or extend the function `iterate(itr::MyIteratorType, state...) = ...`

2. Julia can handle small union types efficiently. In the example above the inferred type of `y` will be `Union{Nothing,Tuple{...,...}}`. The compiler will generate efficient code -- in previous versions of Julia any `Union` type would result in a heap allocation and `y` would internally be a pointer. In Julia 0.7 there's clever code generation and no allocations.

Interesting. Could it be pheromones? Or maybe the combination of men sweating more (I actually don't know if that's true, maybe it's just my bias, as I'm a male and men generally smell worse to me than women) and women having a better sense of smell. Or maybe men are more prone to stress (I don't necessarily mean negative stress, men also seem to prefer positive stress, i.e. adrenaline-filled activities), and animals/humans smell that...
In addition to a tendency towards arrogance, doctors hold unconscious biases like everyone. Unsurprising.

Anecdotally, I recently had a same-gender doctor recount his glory day (just one day) in the ER solving a hypertensive crisis by syringe bloodletting onto the floor and tell me that my autonomic dysreflexia was “all in my head,” and that fixing stress was the panacea. Meanwhile myoclonus, nystagmus, anhedonia, (autoimmune?) inflammation/swelling, tremors keep getting worse. Thanks doc, you really solved everything.
>What prevents 3rd party developers from embedding "malicious code" in the binary itself?

Required review by Apple? That malicious code is restricted from doing much precisely by the sorts of things OP is complaining about? The potential economic return isn't as high because Apple can forcefully clean it off? That it's harder to be anonymous when $100/year has to change hands for a cert and Apple wants to know who you are on some level so it'd be at least somewhat harder to avoid them going after you? None of these are bulletproof, even combined. But even so they're not worthless either to that goal. Are you actually asserting that the actual state of malware on iOS is identical or worse then that of Android or Windows/Mac/Linux? That's not something I've seen supported before but I'd read a good source if you've got one.
Yeah, silencing racists and white supremacist is the same as giving the government the right to silence everyone.
