Who wants to create an app with me? Simplify the stats and streamline the data entry, then provide a way to lock down certain apps to a given time-limit a day, which cannot be passed without logging/completing a certain percentage of your daily habits/goals.
Stanford Health has exactly that: they are called “Flow Managers” or something similar.
I learned about this as an adult and felt like such an idiot for going through school without learning the trick. And maybe a little mad at my third grade teacher.

Paper at a 45 degree angle + hand below the line I'm writing be works like a charm.
What to do? IMO: follow the doctor's/pharmacist's instructions precisely. In my case we were instructed to only break out the opidoid in the event of severe pain (has never happened to me but I guess it's possible), and there were quite specific instructions regarding it. If you don't end up needing it, dispose of it.
Yes but the extra heat in the body causes the same cascade of chemical changes that will eventually kill. Initial treatment is different, to a point. If a fever is too high it will suddenly need the same treatment as hyperthermia: direct cooling.
This is why I hate reading these type of posts on HN. Especially like in this case where there's still a lot to be researched on and to drawn conclusions from, and the outlook isn't positive.

My recommendation is to go and talk to your doctor and confront him or her with this "finding".

Also, most importantly, this "finding" has been out for almost a year now. I wonder what's the more recent development on it.

> Unless the system can detect that it's reading the arm of an actual human being

I think that’s the point of biometrics, and what they were attempting to do: make the input sufficiently complicated that it can only, practically, exist in an actual human. I think they came close enough that adding a couple additional sensors (face, eye, subdermal like Touch ID, etc) would make it not worth anyone’s time, which is probably good enough.

Using a human to perform the reading just acts to add another layer of required complexity, in the form of passing an initial Turing test, along with some squishy kinematics.
Not necessarily.
Fevers can cause seizures and they can have detrimental effects in paediatric patients. For the bulk of the general population, these painkillers/anti inflammatories are simply symptom relief.

For those talking about hyperthermia killing, yes but in almost all those cases the cause is not an infection.

In fact, I would say that paracetamol kills a hell of a lot more patients than it actually ‘saves’.

A study I have taken to heart is that permissive hyperthermia (up to 40 deg c) in ICU patients has a greater survival than those where fever is treated aggressively.

Physiologically, this resonates because high temperatures activate the immune system and raised temperatures are non-optimal for bacterial proliferation; so the immune system is primed by fever; suppressing it can dull immune system response.

In fact, malaria was used as a treatment for syphillis in the early parts of the 20th century because high temperatures kill spirochetes. There are also a decent number of case reports of cancers going into remission following fever.

However in my quick mobile google then I could only see the following study that demonstrated no advantage for either control of permissive hyperthermia group in ICU patients; so perhaps I was relying on a study that has been superceeded.

Indeed. He doesn't even endorse Trump so much as praise his hypnotic influence. Very strange things to hear about anyone. If you heard someone praise Elon Musk or Barack Obama as having a masterful way of manipulating people, and they kept bringing it up over and over... You'd assume they were nuts.
Your first argument discounted psychological studies primarily on the basis that there are two many dimensions to account for in relation to a measurement of behavior.

You then went on to suggest a link between gender identification and the results of a study on a single variable. It’s probably the case there are many environmental and physical dimensions at play with gender identity. While I can’t say at this point that your link is wrong, it may be best to hold back on the last assumptions; especially a biologically based one, given the scope of the impact.
The insecure part may mean that there is almost no social protection. And the city changes so very frequently.

It’s like creating a Latin font is relatively easy, but very few of them go all the way to full Unicode support.

I would posit that StarLink is impossible for anyone except SpaceX, who can get launches at-cost or for free as piggyback on other customers. Without that, I am sure that it looks economically impossible. The technological challenges are probably more tractable.

The "Unreliable Small-Sample" Misconception

https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2008/11/9/656465/-

> My point here is that arguing that the sample is inaccurate simply because of how large or small it is is not correct. The size of the sample actually makes very little difference in how applicable the results are to the population. It simply makes the range of possible results smaller as the size of the sample increases.

I've noticed a trend on reddit and HN where commenters will point out small sample sizes, often with the direct or indirect implication that this makes the study mostly invalid. I believe that's false - studies with small sample sizes can be very valid. The smaller the sample size the larger the effect size needs to be for it to be a statistically significant result, but a small sample size by itself isn't bad.

And I think that the internet would be able to better appreciate research if more people were aware of the small sample size misconception.

I will see your anecdote and raise you one. :)

When I was an American military wife, I mostly just flashed my military ID, made an appointment, picked up my meds, etc.

I was diagnosed with atypical CF in my mid thirties and some of the things I was prescribed were not on the formulary of the military hospital. I went in town and had a co-pay of (IIRC) $13 per prescription. One day, I tripped across an old receipt: More than $1200 worth of pills with a $39 co-pay. Probably three months worth of digestive enzymes.

I was also seeing a specialist at a clinic at UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento. I had been a few times when I noticed a sign prominently displayed on the front desk announcing that they would not see you if you owed money. I asked the person at the desk if I owed anything as I had never paid them anything at all. Surely, I owed some co-pays.

She checked my records. Nope, I didn't owe anything. I was all good.

Well, that was weird. But I was fighting for my life, so I shrugged and moved on with my life. I didn't have the energy to figure out what had happened.

Some years later, I was talking with folks on a CF email list and, silly me, I remarked that "I guess the CF Foundation picked up the co-pays or something." People vociferously informed me that, oh, no, that is not what happened. That's not something they do.

No clue why I was never billed at all by UC Davis Medical Center. But I (apparently* ) wasn't.

I don't know how the military handles it. But when I was a military wife, no, I generally did not see medical bills of any kind.

* I was extremely sick. It's possible my husband paid the bills and I just didn't realize it. But I don't think that's what happened.

I had a cab driver do this to me once, in 2016 or so. He dropped me off at the destination and told me it’d be $20 or whatever, cash only. I didn’t have cash on me, and said all I had was a card. He demanded that I prove I had no cash. Being a little dumbstruck and just wanting to get away from him I showed my empty wallet and he begrudgingly pulled out a phone with a square reader on it. Left a very sour taste in my mouth about cabs.

It’s no surprise why Uber/Lyft are eating their lunch.

Outside of the big (with good public transport) or old (where you can walk everywhere) cities, you very much need a car to get around in Spain. Most of the residential developments in the last half century has been what are called 'urbanisations', basically groups of apartment blocks in areas far from the city centre. If you are lucky there may be a small grocery store or coffee shop within the development, but for anything else you will need to travel further afield.

I don't know that it's hyperbole - Verilator is a huge leap for a newcomer. We're going to take someone who is just getting into Verilog, and add C/C++, makefiles, then we're going to add the problems you've got with a cycle simulator (testbench code won't work) - we have to explain what a delta cycle is, and the most popular tutorials online (ZipCPU's Verilator blogs) mention using a delta-cycle simulator (like Icarus) just to check that you're getting what you expect.

It's frustrating that people keep suggesting FOSS tools when they're either orders of magnitude more complex, not very good in a huge number of cases, require an experienced engineer to actually use, and can't simulate simple Xilinx IP.

People think they're familiar with it because they looked up "FOSS Verilog Simulator" once because they were curious, but they can't actually tell you about these things. We should direct newcomers to Xilinx Vivado, getting started with ISim, and if they're far more sophisticated and have a handle on the language already, then move them to Verilator in certain cases.

But starting with Verilator would be like saying, "Just write a C compiler in assembly, then start using that C compiler." - Nobody starts there!
Having lived in Singapore for 10 years, I can think of some factors:

Low crime rate. Less crime, less death and injuries.

High percentage of old people working. Working means more money to sustain life and pay medical bills.

CPF. You and your employer pay a percentage of your salary to government as CPF. This will be used for medical insurance and pension.

Good air quality and cleanliness in general. Helps in certain diseases.

Folks at forum.nasaspaceflight.com and reddit.com/r/spacex do a meticulous job of tracking the booster numbers. You can tell when a reused booster was last flown which puts an upper limit on the amount of time it takes to refurb a booster (and a rough proxy upper limit for cost).

This info is summarized in this Wikipedia article:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Falcon_9_and_Falcon_He...

One booster seems to have been reused in just 2 and a half months (launched July 25, 2018 and October 8, 2018), compared to a new-production time of about 18-24 months from aluminum stock to launch. So a ~tenth the time of production and so probably about a tenth the labor (for the first stage).

As far as slowing down production...

...SpaceX's production rate of new boosters has been roughly flat while their launch rate has increased, so this effect has not occurred. In fact, you can make a good argument that the primary benefit of reuse for SpaceX is that it has allowed them to squeeze a lot more launches (double) out of the same production capacity. They launched cores 23 times (3 at once for Falcon Heavy) in 2018, and only 10 of those were new. In 2017, it was 18 total launches, 5 with reused cores and 13 new.

SpaceX can switch resources between upper stages and first stages, too, and eventually mothball first stage production or convert it to BFR production, thus giving them a benefit from reuse that you might not consider from a first-pass analysis.
No opioids after my wisdom teeth extraction would have resulted in potentially suicide. The pain was unbearable, and 3-4 days of hydrocodone was absolutely proscribed.

There is nothing wrong with opiates being used for acute pain relief. They are a modern miracle when put to such uses.

The problem comes when you start using them for long-term pain relief - a use-case in which they are neither appropriate or effective.

A typical 2-3 day prescription after major dental (or other) work is not remotely a problem, and I really have no idea why this is where the focus is. It's always been long-term abuse as the actual problem - the weird overreaction over a few days use for acute pain is utterly absurd and only hurts people in some bizzare way for folks to feel they are "helping" fix the abuse problem.

It's good to see some lawmakers siding for the use of cash, which is most unlike the ones in power wanting to curb freedom and increase surveillance through their "war in cash". If all businesses stop accepting cash, we'd live in a much poorer world of sorts.
There's also temporal sample size: you can infer that A causes B if B happens very soon after A, and nothing else around that time might cause B. For example, if A is exposure to a chemical and B is an allergic reaction.

Edit: A great example is that stomach ulcer guy.

It will probably not result in large disruptive positive changes. Those will have to come from outside the current process.

Rest assured that anything that makes a significant impact on health will cause people to completely freak out if it hasn't been vetted via the current medical system, even though this vetting process kills a lot of therapies that people then lament that they wish they had access to.
You need to integrate the square root of a quartic polynomial – the derivative of a cubic is a quadratic, then you square the norm of that, which gives a quartic. I spent a little time in Mathematica and it there is a solution, but it seems very unlikely to me it's going to be more efficient than numerical integration - it involves finding the roots of a quartic and has nine elliptic function evaluations. From a slide I found[0] it looks like it takes on the order of 100ns to compute an elliptic function, so at best it's still going to be slower than the adaptive quadrature even with an accuracy of 1e-12 or so. Plus there are a lot of divisions by differences of roots, and as each one of those approaches zero there will be numerical stability issues.

Long story short, it looks doable, but is a lot of work to get right and has almost no chance of beating out numerical integration in performance.

One big problem is that the production usually starts at a high rate, then declines quite rapidly - say 20-50% per year - for the remainder of the field life.

If you design for the peak rate, the plant will be expensive and underutilized. If you design for a lower rate, the plant will economically insignificant and you still have to flare a lot of the gas initially.

Concrete example: https://unix.stackexchange.com/q/185495/33645 (I am the asker of that question).

This is a really weird thing to happen, and not really easy to debug, much less fix. Look at the diff that fixed the bug for an example. No way I could have figured that out on my own without a significant investment in time.

With runit, everything is pretty straightforward. Not saying I can figure out every last bug, but I can at least mostly understand what's going on if I spend a wee bit of time on it. Same with Free/NetBSD's rc system, and OpenBSD's rc system. Here, it's really hard to even figure out if this is the expected behaviour or not, as all this logic is fairly complex.

I remember watching a talk Linus did about Linux around 2000. One of the reasons he likes Unix is that (paraphrased, as I didn't look up the original) "everything is understandable; you don't understand all of the system, but if you want or need to, you can go in there and understand it and hack on it". Now, that may have been true for the 2000 Linux ecosystem, but for the 2018 system ... yeah, not always. For better or worse, Linux has kind of lost this property to some degree. There are trade-offs here of course (Linux has also gained some stuff), but for me personally, I much prefer the "understandable" and "hackable" Unix systems. I think Void Linux is a good example of that (OpenBSD is another).

Oh, and here's another example: https://unix.stackexchange.com/q/184338/33645

The systemd error message for this unexpected situation was worthless (see my self-accepted answer). It was a simple problem, but took me quite some time to figure out.

If you'd rather your kid step on others to succeed than fail, don't have a kid.
FWIW, I've always felt that having duplicate / parallel "container" and "component" folders/files just for the sake of separating them is completely overkill. Most components are only connected once - just do that in the same file and export the plain and connected versions separately. I wrote some thoughts on that here: https://gist.github.com/markerikson/ea312b5ee398627ffceb09f8...

Similarly, I'm actually thinking that in the upcoming Redux docs revamp, I'd like to have the tutorials and examples switch from a "folder-by-type" approach to either a "feature folder" or even a "ducks" approach, and maybe even cut down on having separate action constant variables. There's valid reasons to do things in multiple files, but it's also not _necessary_, and I want to simplify things.

Yes, I totally agree immutable update logic is a pain to write and write correctly, which is why Immer is awesome, and why the starter kit uses Immer internally. My only concerns are that the code _is_ mutating unless you wrap it in RSK's "magic" `createReducer` utility that uses Immer, and it's going to be hard to figure out how to teach this properly. But, in terms of LOC and simplicity, it's a huge win.

Please let me know how well it works for you, and if you've got any other suggestions for what it should include!

I just had wisdom teeth extraction a few weeks back. I was given 800mg Ibuprofen and Norco. The pain was bad enough to wake me up at night when the meds wore off — and I did take both. Oral surgery is no joke. It took me about 8 days to taper to 400mg Ibuprofen.

These doctors don’t just give pills out randomly, they do it for a reason based on evidence and science. A side note is that my pharmacist made it very clear to only use the painkillers as necessary. You should always consult the doctor and pharmacist after major surgery to clarify these things if needed.
