If you don't have any super critical stuff or you call the nurses because of pain, they'll leave you alone from 9/10pm to 6/7am
I was also at Stanford hospital earlier this year, for a few weeks over two different stays. I don't know which is the cardiac unit, but I remember being in units D1, D3, F3, and G2. Some times I was closer to the door; some times closer to the window. In both cases, I had times when I would need to specifically ask a nurse (or nurse assistant) to close the door (or the curtain), but I don't ever remember having pushback on my request.

"Liberating" the web doesn't seem that liberating when you need to know how to code in order to use it. Don't you know that 99.9% of the people in the world have no idea how to use these federated things?

I’ve never used Lyft from the driver’s perspective. Why would they not want to pick you up? Do short trips pay less per unit time than longer trips? I would have thought Lyft’s algorithms would automatically take trip length into account.
Oh man, if this could get things like Signal Desktop off of Electron, I would be so happy...
I was speculating that Amazon might acquire them at HashiConf[1]. Personally I'd rather see HashiCorp go public eventually then get acquired.

Did you have your child in the US? If so I am curious, do the nurses come and visit your home the next day and a week after? I live in Canada and was very surprised when they came to check on the baby and my wife the next day, looking for jaundice, bleeding, etc. I'm genuinely curious if that is covered by insurance in the US?
The whole point of a smartphone camera is that you don't have to carry a separate device. Easy to use cameras existed long before them. And even with a smartphonesmartphonecamera, I don't think skill is useless.

Ask HN: Has anyone used adversarial patches for effect?
Brown’s adversarial patch paper came out in May [0] and was discussed a bit on HN [1].

But I’m wondering if anyone has used or seen reporting on use of these patches. They seem counterproductive digitally as, while difficult by algorithm, should be easy to flag for human review. So like wearing a sticker saying “I don’t want to be understood.”

But in real life seem useful for avoiding automatic detection as part of a crowd. I’m waiting to see these pop up like in events like the recent Paris tax riots.

Rationality - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rationality

I used the word irrational in the context (both times) of commitment. This is an accepted description in behavioral health literature and does not address you as a person. It is also not polite to accuse people of tricky (fraud) when there is no evidence of such.

Motorola has started providing ifixit and other 3rd party repairs with official parts for phones out of warranty. That was enough for me to decide to buy one of their lower end phones (Moto g6 plus).

The low end shows sometimes, but I am generally very satisfied. They also provide decent apps and not too much extra on top of stock Android. Upgrades could be better.
There should be an equal call to educate hospital staff, to inform patients about their requirements, and to apply their requirements on a case-by-case basis instead of applying it to all patients regardless of needs.
More so than for copying, my guess is that with the release of the dating feature this policy could've probably caused tensions and legal problems with essentially all other dating apps out there.

Dating apps heavily use Facebook not only to get hard-to-fake user info (age/real name) and content for a profile (photos/likes), but also to provide some validity to profiles since Facebook and the social graph in general do a good job of keeping bots and fake profiles at bay, and users know that.

Nonetheless, this could've certainly raised anti-competitive concerns, and Facebook probably figured they are in a dominant-enough position that saving the scrutiny is worth the risk.
Show me a textbook that uses that example, because it would be a shitty textbook. You’re not creating additional value after the first sale, but you’re also not recovering the full market value of the creation from the first sale.

> In a solution like you described and I had in my head we'd need a agreed upon protocol between IV drip and monitoring device. Probably the same standard should be used by other, similar devices. If that doesn't happen we get vendor lock in.

And a vendor lock-in is the goal of the vendor, both in medical and consumer space! Which is why such protocols rarely happen in either.
Feature engineering is about going from a concrete real world problem to a representation that a computer can operate on. Furthermore, this representation has to facilitate solving the problem.

DNNs are good at trying many alternative representations on their own, but you need a lot of data. When you cannot use these beasts, one has to be creative and think of good ways to represent the problem (either as numbers or syntactic structures such as graphs).

Once the representation part is done then one can throw computation and maths at the problem.
Fortnite skins have become somewhat of a social status amongst kids and their friends, especially since its a game where they play with their friends. Many times kids are asking parents to buy these add ons to keep up with their friends, and may feel excluded (or even bullied) if not staying with the latest trends (AKA latest Fortnite skins). Parents denying kids that can definitely impact the kids even outside of the game itself. To these kids it is much more than bit flips in a database even if that's actually what it is.
>We don't shoehorn the Iraq war into everything about America

Yes, we do. Anything gushing about a country always brings people out to point out the flaws in fawning over it. The only thing that seems to be unique is using whataboutisms in criticisms of pro-china articles as if the Iraq war excuses abhorrent behavior in China.

Again, the US constantly fucks up, but that has nothing to do with criticism of China on an article about China.

ICOs didn't raise money in cash though. They raised money in ETH and BTC and unless they cashed out at the peak (most projects didn't), then they didn't end up raising that much in the end.

As a side note, I'm still absolutely fascinated by the concept of an ICO or perhaps a future alternative where capital is raised for actual equity in startups via this method.

It's incredibly useful and has huge potential. I get that there's potential for abuse, but I wish that the government could come up with a common sense, reasonable, middle ground regulatory framework that would allow retail investors to participate, say, up to X% of their yearly income or like a $5-10K yearly cap or something like that.
I always used to read that, but in practice, threading and multiprocessing modules work just fine for concurrency and parallelism, respectively. What's the issue?
I would define a concurrent program as one with multiple independent flows of execution. Whether they are scheduled on multiple CPUs at the same time or just one is what makes them parallel or not.

If you look at a what happens inside a CPU then you probably could say a uniprocessor has some degree of parallelism, but this is not a common point of view AFAIK, it is too low level. Also, the execution contexts inside a pipelined CPU are not entirely independent, you can have pipeline stalls due to dependencies. This is not the case with, say, two application threads running independent tasks.

Ask HN: How much does it really cost to use Plaid?
I've been building an app that uses Plaid (https://plaid.com) in order to pull transactions from bank accounts on behalf of users, but so far I've only been using the sandbox API (free plan) for development. The next plan up from free costs $500/mo + "usage-based" fees, but I haven't been able to track down any quantitative dollar amount for the "usage-based" fees. I'm curious if anyone has any experience paying for Plaid's "usage-based" fees, and if so, what those realistically might be?
You're missing the point. OP asked what would happen if Google abandoned the project, and it's pretty obvious Dart would die as it being maintained by Google, not the community.

We've got a work-in-progress PR on adding a docs page to discuss using TS with Redux: https://github.com/reduxjs/redux/pull/3201 . But, neither Tim nor I use TS ourselves (yet), so we're not experts and don't have the expertise to write this ourselves, or maintain the typings. That's gotta come from the community.

The React-Redux typings are separate, in Definitely Typed. We're considering moving the Redux typings over there as well.

NeurIPS talk on non-neural computation in biological organisms
Um, this is absolutely false. There's actually a very famous optical illusion that proves that humans are extremely bad at visually diffing without animations. If you switch between two pictures but separate them with a black screen, you will have a hard time figuring out what changed. The brain is extremely good at detecting movement, not "find the ten differences".

Here's an article that shows gifs that demonstrate the illusion:

I would guess it depends on the specific circumstance as well as the insurer. With that said, I'm not the GP (but am based in the US), but in our case the hospital arranged for a visiting nurse to do a check in the next day and it was covered by our insurance.
Of course YMMV.

Having spent two spells recently in hospital after surgery, it didn’t bother me in the slightest being woken for 30s every few hours. Usually it coincided with me being brought painkillers, water and snacks. All of which were welcome.

There was also no issue regarding beeps in the post operative care unit that I remember. I was also given my personal belongings, as soon as I was able to structure a coherent sentence, which included headphones.

Similarly to other commenters, I should point out you might not be so quick to use technology to solve this problem. Implementing technology into an area where lives are at risk (ICU) takes a long time - with good reason. I saw a comment talking about a centralised monitoring desk. Good luck finding a ward where you are always staffed enough to have someone watching that. There is a good reason sounds have remained as the primary monitoring cue for so many years.
Sure, just get out of bed and run them down and ask them to stop...
I don't like this but I also kinda understand why they do so. Many devs around me (I live in Korea) don't care about GPL/LGPL and it is important for Qt to let them know. Qt is commercial software anyway.

What if the prior states that your decision is based on are states of your brain? For example, states of your brain processing particular information, considering all the factors involved in the decision, and determining what the best decision is, all things considered?
Assuming I understand their approach correctly, they are using little (one could argue none at all) semantic information.

We'll ignore the whole part about stealing everyone's intellectual property as a matter of business and that activity in the South China Sea. How about Taiwan?

People criticize their shitty actions because they are shitty. Nobody said they are the worst country at all. They just said that a company who cares about organizing the worlds information and not being evil shouldn't partake in oppressive censorship.
Agreed. State lifecycle is all the same but Mobx automates 2/3rds of the tedious work and is much more natural to use.
Grab a cheap protection sticker for the back of your phone from eBay. They usually offer better grip than the slippery glass, and look more presentable than black duck tape.
To be clear up-front: I agree with you. However, this line of thinking can be a bit disingenuous as it may turn into convincing someone their single threaded program in C is actually multithreaded because of OS scheduling or because it runs on a distributed k8s cluster.

It reminds me of how technically there is space between everything if you go small enough (ie cellular or atomic) and how some elementary school kids would use that to convince you that they arent touching you :)
Wow, someone who makes sense for once. I love and embrace open source but I'm sure as glue that the developers who want cross platform winforms and wpf will never use it.

Using D to Create the World’s Fastest File System
Yes of course when I deal with data if I compute an average of over 20 record and one have a NULL value I want to know that something is wrong with that specific operation. Silently returning something wrong would be really bad. Crashing whole query would be anoying as well because if you compute 3Billion aggregates at the same time and only 0.1% return NULL you might want to filter them out instead of doing nothing at all or correcting input.

Of course all of this would be feasible with an arbitrary no data value, but you’d have to basically rewrite all propagation functions that are built in with NULL. As a DB admin I would consider a database without NULL handling as utterly flawed.

In fact with modern SQL database you often get twice the fun because there is a second propagating special value for numeric type called NaN (not a number) to further distinguish lake of data from invalid data if need be!
Im overweight and snore as a result, or have sleep apnea or whatever. Tongue Endurance might okay a small role but its not helping me. I am a beatboxer and consistently train my tongue and muscles around the throat.

Per capita? I’m not so sure about that. Especially in San Francisco.
+1. A lightweight events app that also features better Calendar integration would be fantastic. If I sync events with my calendar now I need to log-in to Facebook to change my RSVP response. Event suggestions only if they don't conflict with my calendar and a way to convert calendar events to Facebook events to share with friends would be killer features too.

> Nobody in the tech community cared until the dragonfly thing came up and they all went on wikipedia looking for reasons to hate China

Speak for yourself. I've been working on privacy projects like TOR for years and have been critical of the GFW since long before dragonfly.

>have to wonder, if China were less successful, and the people were poorer, would they be less upset

Nope. Probably even more upset. People aren't happy about North Korea either and North Koreans aren't rich. I'm happy Chinese citizens are doing better financially. I'm disappointed in their oppressive government.
Things can get very messy. If the relationship goes bad, one or other of you will have to leave.

Been there, done that. It's not good, especially in a workplace that has less than half a dozen people, and it's impossible to avoid seeing the other one all day long.

Having said that, there is the situation where the workplace is pretty large and the two of you are in (or can move to) different departments. That can work quite well because you don't meet or see each other every five minutes.

Been there, done that too. We're still together after 30 years.
I wonder if in many cases we use a mental disorder diagnosis as a secular substitute. Replace demons with ADD/ASD and witch doctor with child psychologist.
Thanks for the reply. I’m on mobile and searched on mobile and I don’t see “show reviews that mention.” I do see “read reviews that mention” but that includes stuff but not monkeys [0].

The Pinterest page perhaps has monkeys at some point, but doesn’t now.

This isn’t a real search, I just added something whimsical (and I miss San Diego burritos). This is behavior I remember but don’t typically track so it’s hard to remember on command.

Maybe he felt awkward doing that?

There is also a possibility that their reaction would not favourable. Sure, they may shut up but, afterwards, the relationship between his wife and the carers could become frosty?

Rude people tend not to like their shortcomings being challenged.
That's an interesting angle, and I'm sure you're right. I'd like to read more. Do you have a source for that?
May I weigh in with an outside perspective? My impression is this is a cultural issue, i.e. Americans are very insensitive to noisy disturbances during sleep hours. Biggest examples for me are your freight trains. Deadly accidents? Sure, the only solution is to disturb sveryone in a 5 mile radius around each crossing. In my home country this is unthinkable. People get chewed up, sometimes called the police on, for even running the washing machine past 10pm.
Well, at least the wealthy end up in private rooms, which is a big help. If you are unfortunate enough to share a room with another patient, then either he will be sick enough that the staff keeps you awake half the night as they attend to him, or he will be feeling fairly well, and will insist on watching Family Feud all night on the TV mounted on the wall.
When I was hospitalized they were playing poker the whole night. I get that it's just a job but jeez, keep it down.
I mean how could it be that old? These scooters are a new thing that are trashed and replaced every 3 months.
I’d agree: Notion is great for individuals, a household, maybe even a small business? But it’d be a tough ask to scale to 100 people in an engineering org. But who knows, maybe it will find a niche like Basecamp did?

It is a wonderful replacement for Evernote though, and it makes you wonder what Evernote has been doing all these years? The formatting, drag/drop, multiple views on the same docs are great.
> for relatively minor infractions like parking where you're not supposed to.

1) that's not a minor infraction in some circumstances

2) the goal is to remove the vehicles from where they shouldn't be in the first place.
This! Similar events is the only thing I miss about fbook.

I was told that an app / site "bandsNearMe" or something like that would replace.. but I don't think it's gets the smaller acts / DJs / events that I would really like to attend.

Meetup does a better job of notifying me. As long as people are going to use fbook to post about upcoming events it would be nice to have access to things coming locally, since I rarely use fbook I miss some good shows.
