If you believe that all this advertising spending and social media marketing activity actually adds more to companies on Facebook than it does to Facebook itself, then you sort of could call Facebook a platform per this definition. An advertising platform.

This article is a terrible treatment of the issue. The NYT article [1] or actual research papers are far better.

To try and sum up the actual issue that's being discussed: it's a tragedy of the commons situation, where the commons is a patient's sleep.

Every device and procedure priorities derisking above ALL else. In aggregate, this results in a huge negative impact on sleep.

The suggested change in behavior is to simply prioritize quality sleep somewhere about "irrelevant."

From the original research, a few points (from memory):

- Outcomes for non-critical patients are not substantially improved by the "every 2(?) hour vital check" regime. It's followed mostly because of legacy medical inertia

- There is little effort to batch interactions

- A substantial amount of sleep-disrupting noise is a modern hospital is non-functional

From personal experience at a good cancer research hospital in a major city, one omnipresent alarm was a low battery warning... for a device that was plugged into mains power. No one knew how to turn it off or fix it.

This is exactly what I did. I had even provided my real name already, it just didn't fit in the Western firstname-lastname format that they assumed everyone had, and so they disabled my account. I tried showing them that this was the cultural norm here, but they wanted a govt ID scan to "prove" it - all for a glorified social network.

Instead, I created a new email ID, gave a fake name, and registered with that. I gave up on the site soon anyway, but now I'm glad they forced me into registering with fake details.

Only if they want to ride them in roadways next to cars and trucks, because not knowing how to drive can get a lot of people killed.

Otherwise, if they are riding on bike lanes then they are only a danger to themselves, and mostly risk getting bruised knees.

Why is that a bad thing? Religion has been the cause of much strife. Sure, you miss the nice parts when it’s gone. But I take one look at other societies that still fight over this arbitrary “faiths” which make no scientific sense and it makes me wonder if it isn’t a simpler world to not believe in the superstition of religion ( or at least treat it that way legally)

The only dissonance is your own. Nobody is making the Chinese the bad guys. They are criticizing the Chinese government, which is certainly not representative of the Chinese in any way given that it is not elected and it crushes critics.

Google search might be convenient for citizens, but claiming that convenience outweighs the moral forfeiture of Google rubber stamping political censorship is a huge jump.

If you don't care about censorship, then it might be obvious to you that Google should move into China. It's not to people who care.
No it is different, because this a conversation about telemetry which is exactly none of your social, credit report or passwords. Suggesting that developers should be criminally liable for your usage statics getting released is borderline insane.
Not to mention that the API is very intuitive and programmer friendly. For me, using Mobx doesn't force me to write things its own way, but instead enables me to write things MY way, but just hook it up with Mobx when needed. It is a more of a library than a framework, a guest not a intruder.

While with Redux, not that I am bitching about it, it first states that I need to accept several principles before I can better appreciate it.

> If every other block has enough room on the curb, for 30 cars to be parked for free, then surely, there should be room for one or two scooters to do the same.

That's pretty much irrelevant as the business model of these scooter services is based on the concept of riders dropping them off wherever they feel like it.
Central monitors are quite common. There are even entire units based on it (telemetry).

When a company gets so big that it doesn’t have to listen to customer complaint, it’s time to go.

I had a great car repair shop with awesome care for customer. Gave you special care and nice deals. Well, because of great reviews they grew very much, rebuilt the shop and hired a lot of staff. The culture that made them successful was forgotten, the CEO had no insight in the employees so the experience as a customer deteriorated, hence left.

Lesson: don’t grow so fast that you forget what built your company in the first place.

There's a politics to exorcism and in the whole accusation of witchcraft, especially in less developed countries where accusation of witchcraft is a social safety mechanism to enable parents to eject extra children they can't afford without carrying a burden of guilt for their action. However there is also a real phenomena of trance states and people going into trance and seemingly being "taken over" by an external entity. However this doesn't come from outside the person it springs from what Jung called the "collective unconscious." In the context of a religion like Vodoun the people being "possessed" have a long period of physical and mental preparation such that when they do experience this its in a controlled and ritualized setting. The other thing is because they have syncretized the original Yoruba religion with Catholicism, a catholic vodouist will have far different expectations and assumptions than a normal catholic. For a vodouist they are not being "ridden" by a demon but rather a saint. For the ordinary catholic because every spiritual experience outside the control of the repressive patriarchy is considered evil and demonic any catholic who has a spontaneous experience of an atavistic eruption of the collective unconscious will interpret the experience as evil and negative. Ultimately in the trance state its just an energy that over takes the person, how they interpret and accept or reject the experience is colored by the politics inherent in their religion. The glaring hypocrisy in the catholic church where it gives itself a free hand to abuse the most vulnerable while placing itself as a gatekeeper for all that is moral and good, sets itself up to have more of these kind of atavistic eruptions as the harder the mind tries to ignore these kind of basic contradictions the more the mind is being setup for any spontaneous trance experience to be interpreted as "being taken over by an evil spirit." This creates a feedback loop for the church where the deeper they drive their contradictions the more people have these experiences but because they are mentally trapped in their religion they put themselves at the mercy of the very people driving them into psychosis, when these experiences could be interpreted as harmless and inconsequential in which case people would simply shrug these experiences off.
Separating things with a blank screen isn't representative of a visual element suddenly appearing/dissapearing though. If they have to resort to that to confuse you then it shows that the brain is good at spotting the difference, it's almost like adding an animation if anything, a fade out and back in. This is also with a far more complex scene than most programs, so again not representative.

Get rid of the blank screen in-between and tell me people have trouble spotting the difference.

> The thing is so many people store their cars incorrectly nothing is usually done

This is patently false, as not only public entities (i.e., law enforcement and local governments) but also private companies (private tow operators) create and invest in specific services to address the problem.

So,once a whole industry emerges to tackle a problem then obviously something is being done.

> I've been skeptical since I like Redux a lot and haven't been able to understand how Context is a true replacement for Redux given what I have read.

That is because context was never intended as a replacement for Redux or any other state management library. In fact Redux itself uses context under the hood.

Context is more of a low level api. Somewhat similar to TCP/IP. You never work with TCP/IP directly but use high level abstractions like HTTP that work on top of TCP/IP and provide a simple interface.
> There is little effort to batch interactions

The nurses are highly incentivized to batch interactions, just like waitstaff. What you don't see is that if the nurse has is working on the batch for patient A, and patient B crashes, then the nurse is too tied down to respond and calls in a colleague, who shows up to crashing patient B and tries to get up to speed.

Maybe, yeah. It would be great if there were multiple heavy hitters involved in such an important project.

Read the mentioned occurrences and thought: these would make a lame movie.
A decision can be based on prior information (in the sense of being informed by it) while not being deterministic.

This is how Aristotle and Aquinas handle the relationship between the Intellect and the Will, where the will chooses between goods which are known by the intellect. It is precisely in this choosing between different goods that we are classically understood to have free will.

So, our decisions are determined in the sense that we are only able to choose things that appear good to us, but free in the sense that we can choose between those goods.

Probably by asking, or skipping tests/interventions. Ultimately everything is patient’s choice.

It may work okay (administering one patient’s daily meds last amongst the caseload of patients).

Other times, by deferring the 6AM blood draw to 10AM could mean your providers don’t have a fresh picture of the patient’s condition during morning rounds.

The medallion system was a bargain: we protect you from competition, and you agree to price controls and other regulations.

So if the government is going to back out of its end of the bargain, it's not unreasonable to compensate medallion owners.

I watched half of it... but began noticing the frequent references to how only 'conservative' views are suppressed. And then there were a bunch of Tucker Carlson snippets and then realized something wasn't (no pun intended) 'right'.
Looks like M.A. Taylor, from his IMDB page is hyper conservative anti-obama/clinton political hack. Sure, some of what the film talks about - how google and facebook - can nudge peoples opinions and view of the world is true.. But it is creepy that he has snippets in there projecting them as liberal anti-conservatives hipster organizations. Come on - 2016 would've turned out very different if facebook was really suppressing conservative content at the scale this film is talking about.
FB has Activity Log, visible only to you, and shows what you posted, commented, liked, tagged, shared, searched, etc. From there you can manage and delete stuff if you want, by hand.
The medical space has a surprising number of widely used protocols. If you’ve ever gotten a CD with the raw data from some scan, it probably had a crappy proprietary viewer and the raw data. The raw data is almost invariably DICOM, and there are plenty of open-source viewers.

I suspect there are strong economic factors here. When a hospital buys a $2M imaging machine, the vendor is making money on the machine, not on ads, and that $2M machine had better interoperate with the HIPAA-compliant image archiving and distribution system the hospital already has from some other vendor.
Found some interesting tidbits in their FAQ [0]:
"Q: What type of text can Amazon Textract detect and extract?

A: Amazon Textract can detect Latin-script characters from the standard English alphabet and ASCII symbols."

So, English only. But very worryingly is that they're going to keep your companies' documents:

"Q. Are document and image inputs processed by Amazon Textract stored, and how are they used by AWS?

A: Amazon Textract may store and use document and image inputs processed by the service solely to provide and maintain the service and to improve and develop the quality of Amazon Textract..."

"Q. Can I delete images and documents stored by Amazon Textract?

A: Yes. You can request deletion of document and image inputs associated with your account by contacting AWS Support. Deleting image and document inputs may degrade your Amazon Textract experience."
I dont know how much of this you want to do yourself, but i would copy the text into a docx file and convert that to mobi using e.g. calibre. Or are you looking to automate it? I'd probably use a python library for making epubs in that case.
