The patient should not need to be checked into another hospital in order for the police to assist the patient and her family, if only because the reason they cannot check into another hospital is that the patient is being illegally detained. To the contrary, the police should be the ones telling the hospital that it's illegal for them to detain the patient, and then assisting the patient in leaving without interference by the hospital staff.
>The article also ignores what a barn burner Alpha was.

Indeed. 300mhz, dual-issue...in ~1991! Of course, that was before low-power was "cool" and the first chips were very nice space heaters.

Source: worked on the Alpha team before it was "Alpha" ("EVAX").
Imagine what happens to people like this who have no family.
Can you expand on why one wouldn't want to start with a state bank?
They are eating more than just salt..the fat and carbohydrates in the chips. But yes, people will eat saltier foods more often if they are lacking in salt. There is literally a craving.

"A number of hormonal, central nervous, and behavioral systems are engaged when an animal is truly deficient in sodium, which motivates it to search for sodium salts, avidly consume them based on their salt taste, and thereby restore sodium balance" [1]

I've taken Lyft, Uber, and taxis in NYC and don't see how that driver is any different than the rest? Seems to be a pretty regular part of NYC driving in general.
Yikes.

I did the homemaker thing. The ex was career military, we had special needs kids and I had serious health problems. It was the right thing to do, but I am still trying to get on my feet financially post divorce.

We had a 1950s style marriage where he was the breadwinner. I come from a much more financially savvy and financially conservative family than he did. His idea of what to do with a pay raise: Finance more debt!

I found it completely crazy making.

I never want to be financially dependent on a man again. At some point, I decided the best thing I could do to make a damn difference in the world would be to leave behind my Pink Collar Ghetto aspirations and do any damn thing I want with my life instead of continuing to care about the world while the world doesn't give a flying fuck about me and my bills.

I sometimes wish I could talk some sense into other women. If you need to express some need to care, get a pet.

(No offense intended. I am trying to be sympathetic.)
Yeah, drivers probably try to prey on college students.

But, per article, this was a 40-something clean-cut guy by himself (it said this was after his 25th high school reunion). Bad choice of target by the driver.

Ancient Chinese civilization:

When I first began cutting up oxen, all I could see was the ox itself. After three years, I no longer saw the ox as a whole. And now—now I meet it with my spirit and don’t look with my eyes. My senses and conscious awareness have shut down and my spiritual desires take me away. I follow the Heavenly pattern of the ox, thrusting into the big hollows, guiding the knife through the big openings, and adapting my motions to the fixed structure of the ox.

Modern technological civilization:

I trained a RNN / CNN / GAN on enough oxen that now it controls the knife precisely, given a stream from stereo cameras as input.

The conscious awareness have shut down because a simpler, out-of-consciousness-circuit network took over. This is perfectly normal and mundane; it's now you walk, or how you use a spoon. You have a lot of practice walking; if you had a comparable amount of practice butchering, you'd achieve a similar result.

(This is how Master Yoda explains wu-wei to Luke; Desperado tells the same thing to the boy in a more straightforward way: "Practice".)
> just because concurrency isn't fixed yet

concurrency works great in Crystal. Its "parallelism" that they don't have yet.
It's easy to attribute this whole situation to greed and/or malice but I think that fails Hanlon's razor. I can easily see this whole situation occurring because of poor communication and the culture of paternalism in medicine. It is not hard to imagine a team of healthcare providers that know or think they know what is good for their patient and do a poor job explaining why they are making the decisions that they are making whether that is because of poor communication skills or because they are simply too busy. I think the article proposes a good solution in calling up the hospital's ethics council. This should be standard operating procedure when a patient disagrees with medical staff and the presence of this resource should be communicated to the patient early on and by a employee who isn't directly involved with the patient's care.
no, really, it's true, I just tried it:

Ash HN: What are examples of SaaS companies that don't charge per user?
Perhaps the incongruity isn't that a 14-year old is running for office, but that a 14-year old can't vote? A 14-year old has the maturity to run for office, but is judged to be too immature to vote? There is a cohort of children who are already more mature than a lot of adults. Most of the arguments about children being incapable of voting were once applied to women and aborigines. Maybe the rules should be that if a child is capable of engaging with the political process by registering to vote then they are capable of voting?

Lack of representation means politicians care about children only to the extent required to get a parental vote. Take the lot of a child in my country (Australia):

* Childcare is a political football. The primary aim of the system is to allow parents to work rather then provide the best environment for children. Excellence is a result of individual centres rather than a product of the system.

* Children are taxed at 45%. If you want to prevent parents from putting investments in children's names, write laws about parents exploiting their children rather than penalising the child.

* Schools are a political football, with politicians debating funding, testing regimes and curriculum and the children nowhere to be heard.

* Old men (and a few old women) are making decisions that will affect the world long after they are dead. The currently disenfranchised children are the ones who are going to be stuck with the mess.

Adults wouldn't (and don't) put up with it, so why should children?

This is a complicated issue. I've seen this happen in practice. As long as the process remains conservative and respectful of the patient, it results in better outcomes for the patient and a more peaceful society.

The cases where I have seen this happen: schizophrenia, drug-induced psychosis, acute mania, dementia.

Patients come out far better in an institutionalized setting, as opposed to being on the streets and walking aimlessly in dangerous traffic.
It's a negotiating tactic, too. If you tell people you'll sell cheap, you will have a hard time selling for top dollar.

Fool me once, fool me can't get fooled again.
engagement is slightly weaselly and covers both addictive behaviors and useful behaviors.

if your app provides a service that is useful frequently throughout the day - say, a local news app for the sake of argument, high engagement should suggest that your app is useful. no one wants to build a useless app, and often we like knowing what's happening around us.

but addiction is ... overuse. pushing people to use it, although there's no real benefit to be gained by the user.

I liken it to alcohol. One glass a night isn't generally a problem (0.1 is actually more or less better). It's when you have, say, 6+ drinks (using the usual units) per night that it's a problem.

and when you design for addiction in your engagement strategy, and target children... well... I would frankly suggest that there should be criminal liability involved.
It has a clear and fixed definition, but that definition isn't the numeric constant 1. Associating it with a numeric value is a convenience, and different choices give different conveniences.

In physics "c" is a constant. In some circumstances it's most convenient to define it as 1, and in others we define it as 3e8m/s.

You can argue that 1 is more convenient for radians than 1/2pi because of identities with natural logs and derivatives of other transcendental functions, but that's an aesthetic call -- you can still get similar identities, just with different scaling factors. More to the point, the derivative of `sin(x radians)` will still be the derivative of `cos(x radians)`, so I'm not actually sure that argument holds water -- another way of saying "you have these scaling factors" is to say "you have to use the right units."

Maybe that's still too big a pill to swallow, but I'd be wary of the endowment effect here.
I’ve joined Facebook today as part of the Vidpresso team. The opportunity to build something that can reach a large group of users is attractive: basically everything I’ve worked on for the past 15 years has been very niche.

As long as the SV giants have that global scale and keep demonstrating that they value engineers, I don’t think they’ll have trouble hiring.
> happy to see anti-piracy measures enforced.

It's not an anti-piracy measure, they banned a specific brand of software to be sold with the hardware, Heck maybe they should ban Windows PC's because it's even more prevalent with users engaging in piracy and could just as well be sold with some pirated material.

Look, I'm bitter and angry about my situation, so take this with a grain of salt...

I feel like the incompatibility we had in regards to savings, financial discipline, etc., should have been a much bigger red flag to me. If you are having these sorts of doubts, I would think long and hard before making the commitment that goes along with marriage. If you do get married, and it doesn't work out, just make sure you divorce before the 10 year mark, or you will have no set end to spousal support. If you divorce before 10 years, you will normally pay spousal support for half the length of the marriage (about 4 years in my case). If you have kids, all bets are off and you will likely be on the hook for spousal, child support,(plus half of medical expenses, extra-curricular activities, and child care costs while your ex-spouse works - this is on top of monthly child support), you will be required to maintain health insurance for the children, you may get your wages garnished, you may get Smith-Ostler riders for 12% of any bonus or unexpected income towards more child support, legal fees, therapist fees (very easy to have a therapy order in place for children and/or the parent(s)), etc.

That said, anything you have saved before marriage is yours to keep if you divorce, so there's that aspect to keep in mind.

There are some issues here. I also use monzo and would recommend them happily. however i used them to put business expenses on a single card, and each month grabbed the data and pushed it to a 3rd party. then they changed their statements (from memory "Amazon" become "amazon mktplace" - not just in future months but in past downloads. hence their past output depended on current config settings. (another issue was they changed how they represented a chargeback)

This would never happen with major banks - because they screwed the pooch with that in the 1980s and still have the same COBOL patches running today.

What I am trying to say is that the new banks will offer really good new products - but there is a risk premium.

In the context your banking system is in, this attitude makes perfect sense to me. But bigger picture, it is weird.

Note that this is an attitude where the banks are essentially assumed not to be at risk of bankruptcy. Maybe this means the depositor views the banks as a utility - access to the system whereby debts are settled and trade occurs.

This is completely at odds with what the banks actually do day-to-day, which is make judgments about which businesses and families have a chance to thrive. They execute this through their decisions on who to loan to, and how much.

There is an enormous tension here - the capitalist mechanism to encourage good performance of the banks day-to-day duties is losses and hence bankruptcy if they really muck up. A voting consumer who wants 'reliable IT' and 'Tech Support' isn't going to tolerate that in the design of the system.

I don't have any money in the American banking system, so I can be harsh. The world is full of threats and risk; if people can ignore what is been done with their money then the financial abstractions and safety nets are too extreme. It isn't reasonable for a depositor to be completely, purposefully ignorant of what is being done with their money. They should acknowledge and carry some (relatively small amount) of the risk, and have an actual relationship with their banker.

I miss the old-world personal relation with the banking manager that a reasonably wealthy individual could enjoy. I think it would create stronger local communities.

EDIT obviously depositors with account sizes in the <$10,000 sort of range should be able to ignore the whole financial thing, they don't really have enough money to be interesting. But serious amounts of money should feel some of the risk. Someone with, eg, a $50,000 bond should be able to ask probing questions.

I’m much older in my mid 40s and because of $poor_life_choices, I don’t see retirement on the horizon anytime soon.

See my other answer in this threaad, the main reason for the strange result is doing an LTCG build, not really the CPU, which scales quite nicely in the Linux tests from Phoronix.
I don't get it. Theia runs on my home machine, my home cluster, or runs standalone just like any other editor. Everything I've mentioned are fully OSS projects (edit: GitPod has a bit of secret sauce for the workspace functionality, but Che has that, too). If anything, my goal in all of my software choices is user empowerment and I refuse to build or use anything proprietary or tied to a single cloud. My only exceptions are Plex (I'm working on replacing it) and Windows/games on a single machine.

There's no reason that a browser based editor has to mean lock-in, and the current landscape doesn't support such gloom, in my opinion.

>Unfortunately the association that people make is now "Kodi = Piracy", which is very wrong.

Why is that association so wrong ? I mean, I would rather people fight fundamental issues like censorship on sales platforms for arbitrary reasons, instead of trying to sugarcoat it with stuff like, "yes, but it's only OSS software". For one, other than music, there is no real mass-market way to download DRM free popular media. Ripping your own DVDS/Blu-rays doesn't count, because that's still piracy (according to the US anyway). So instead of fighting the battle on whether this is piracy, and this isn't piracy, why not just say fuck it, and fight for the right to make and sell whatever device you want to and do whatever the fuck you want to with it.
Isn't that implied. If it said Walmart bans sales of Kodi, is anyone going to think they are banning it worldwide.
