That's not correct. These rules are for normal shifts where residents are caring for patients. There might be "down time" to grab lunch or catch up on notes, but it's not enough to go take a nap.
Yea. Ocean pollution is a problem. But using amount / volume collected is (for me) a misleading metric.

Plaatics (floating everywhere)? Micro-plastics? Chemicals (that can't be collected)? All come to mind.

At the risk of sounding like a cynic / conspiracy theorist, this particular take on the issue feels as if it came out of the covert comms dept of Big Oil.

I always wish IPv6 had done example this -- use 64 bits.

The address space is still enormous: a couple billion for every currently living person (yes, I know allocating isn't 100% efficient, but even at 0.001% efficiency, that's still tens of thousands per capita).

And, the address could fit in a common word size, and be significantly more readable.

As is, IPv6's one-address-per-atom-on-Earth is unnecessary, the addresses are horrendous to read, and the collapsing colon stuff is just obnoxious.

not as successful:

DVD -> BluRay : timing was rather close to the rise of streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, etc.
Initial post wasn’t meant to be hostile at all and I’m still unsure of whether or not supersonic travel is a net positive or negative.

My issue was with the parent comment essentially suggesting that you can justify boosting emissions from flight travel because we still rely on fossil fuels, so might as well double down. Nobody was suggesting that we immediately cease all flight travel. I’m open to the possibility that supersonic travel is a net positive, but the argument needs to be around what we’re getting in return for the emissions and why that’s worth it.
Current law is that you have no right to an explanation for why your visa was denied. After this litigation, the no-fly list is a different thing entirely.

I'd put money on her visa being denied because the folks who screwed up and put her on the no-fly list resent her fighting so hard and so publicly to get off it.
From what I can read on the twit and GitHub, the researcher hasn't proven this works at scale.

The point of recaptcha is blocking "captcha farms" or automated bots from abusively creating accounts, buying tickets, etc.

The author hasn't demonstrated that this attack is effective in those scenarios. The only thing he has shown is a very convoluted way for a human to solve a recaptcha (harder for 99.9% of humans than the standard recaptcha experience)

That would explain why Google didn't care about them publishing this.
FIOS doesn’t support it.

My web hosting stack would be
1. Backend nodejs, express
2. Database if NoSQL, Firebase/Firestore (Google Cloud Platform) otherwise Cloud SQL
3. Authentication firebase handles it
4. Hosting - firebase handles hosting as well.
5. CSS, JavaScript and jQuery
6. Vscode with prettier
I've had a somewhat similar experience. On the other hand, I still reach to Flask more frequently due to it's ability to integrate much more easily with SQLAlchemy, which I find vastly preferable to the Django ORM.

Most things I do never get that big / popular so it’s not really an issue (especially for the convenience of SQLite when starting up a new project). The odd time I’ve run into issues I just migrate to postgres.
Knowing about CPU architecture and OS structure helps me to reason about the application code I write. Do I understand those things as much as someone who specializes in them? No of course not. But a certain level of baseline knowledge does have its benefits.
Beyond the original statement. “Every category of drinking was associated with an increased risk of cancer.”

“In the present study, alcohol drinking was associated withcancer of the oral cavity and pharynx, oesophagus (SCC) andfemale breast even at low doses. These results represent an updateand corroboration of previously published findings on the linkbetween light alcohol drinking and cancer (Bagnardi et al, 2013).Given the high proportion of light drinkers in the population andthe high incidence of these tumours, especially breast cancer(Ferlay et al, 2010), even small increases in cancer risk might be of great public health relevance. Approximately 5000 deaths from oraland pharyngeal cancer, 24 000 from oesophageal SCC and 5000 from breast cancer were attributable to light drinking in 2004worldwide (Bagnardi et al, 2013).”

Yes, some cancers where negatively associated with drinking, but the net effect was negative over the range of cancers studied.

As to light drinking and heart disease, that link is under some question as to the relative gain from drinking vs associated lifestyle factors. Short term controlled studies suggest some benifit, but it’s less clear for younger drinkers and people with good cardiovascular heath.

At a guess, the benifit of moderate drinking might win somewhere between 40 and 70 depending on specific risk factors.
I read "Notes on Floppy Disks" <https://extrapages.de/archives/20190102-Floppy-notes.html> last night. It, along with this, really makes the technology seem much more accessible to a non-electronics professional like me. These help make the various floppy emulator devices I've got for my retro-computing habits seem more understandable. (It also really makes me want to build some electronics skills, too!)

The president isn't "our leader." And as I keep saying, yes, the US system isn't as brutal and obvious (in most cases; policing online content, it is) as China. As far as I know, they only attempt to kill American citizens who deviate from the party line when they live abroad.

Let me give you a bit of obvious propaganda by people who really do run the country:

https://twitter.com/Raytheon/status/1021446302515847168

Perfect embodiment of ruling caste self regard ... we blow up brown people ... but at least we are real smart and we ain't sexist!
There's advantages and disadvantages to this approach. When we're talking about residential networks, some consumers won't care about the inability to do that, some will. Those that do care also have to weigh the privacy concerns about the fact that they have a now static prefix for their networks, much like static IPv4 addresses.

Personally I'd prefer ISPs to take an approach like this by default, but allow the option for the consumer to have a statically assigned IPv6 prefix for free if they want it, who understand its implications.
Very impressive!

Verification seems really hard.

How do you go about verifying very other not the user is an actual person?
Dear Mozilla, you have no business having my data in the first place. If you're promising to keep my data safe, things have already gone wrong.
They've been blasting the PR far and wide on social media but did they ever address their recent 'experiment?'
> exceptionally good way to approximate

You answered your question. 99% of the time being exact is a requirement and calculation speed is utterly unimportant, thus using IEEE 754 results in programs that are fundamentally broken.
These statistics are meaningless propaganda. What you should be interested in is the velocity of IPv6 adoption growth among ISPs and countries where adoption stopped all together, to know what to expect from actual adoption in coming years. (it's basically a failure btw)
That was a more extreme example. I expect most Chinese online know of censorship. But do you/they know about the government caused famine under Mao?
> 4) I suspect depression is seriously underdiagnosed in med students and MORE students should be taking antidepressants than those currently on them.

I find that seriously messed up. Maybe it's not 75%, but let's assume an extra margin should be taking antidepressants to exist in the highly competitive med school environment. Further, let's assume that antidepressants progress and competitive programs keep raising the bar based on entrants and dropout rate..

Our public health goal seems to be to develop a society so stressful that psychiatric drugs are not for unbalance in the patient compared to a healthy control but to make unhealthy people that can survive hyper-competition and are maximally profitable for institutions.
> It would seem to me the med profession is an ideal place for technology / AI. Docs aren't magicians and House (the TV doc) is fictional.

As someone that works on healthcare AI, you'll have to believe me when I say AI physicians are the jetpack of the 21st century. The populace might think they're right around the corner technologically, but there's a lot of obstacles, both technical and human that make it pretty unrealistic. The need for physicians isn't going away anytime soon. In the same way, the profession of piloting hasn't been threatened by autopilot.

If you tried something like docker-machine on Mac a while back and were disappointed with abysmal performance, it's worth another look. They've replaced VirtualBox with HyperKit, which uses the Apple-supported Hypervisor.framework and works much, much better.
If a firewall isn't doing ingress blocking then it doesn't really serve much of a purpose now does it?

Ingress blocking being a side effect of NAT is the whole point of equating it to a firewall. It's roughly similar for all intents and purposes except that it also provides socket translation, and socket translation is really useful so every firewall worth mentioning also provides NAT.

That ipv6 initially did not address the usecases for socket translation outside of multiplexing addresses is probably one of the reasons it hasn't gained much ground in the decades it has been around.

Anyway, the point is that most of the headache that NAT causes application developers is also true of firewalls that block inbound connections by default. Removing NAT from the equation doesn't save you.

Hello, I have been in your shoes a couple of years ago. I was working as BI engineer in Silicon Valley and realized the potential of ML and Data Science. So I switched gears towards learning algorithms. I learned from logistic all the way to Keras. But as you said, everything is theoretical. As I wasn't working on the practical part of implementing, it has been difficult for me to crack the interviews as most of the questions are related to the project. They ask about your current project in ML and go deep dive in asking why you haven't used a different algorithm, etc etc. I gave interviews and failed in every one of them. But the good thing is that, I have learned through the process and cracked one finally. it is still a mix of BI and ML. but no complains as I don't have handson experience in ML. I suggest you to pick up python, as almost every company asked me to code an algorithm. As you are already an SDE, it shouldn't be of big concern. And the main reason is that, python has vast libraries for data science. Go through the underlying definitions of all ML algorithms. Pick a ML project which your company is working and try to get as much exposure as possible. Trust me, the part-time masters doesn't really matter in cracking a job. It all depends on how well you explained the project, why you implemented a specific algorithm and not the others, challenges in data analysis before implementing ML and of course, coding interview. Good luck.
Enhanced C# and the LeMP
Taking the words of a singer literally is a bit of a misnomer.

It's like saying Little Prince doesn't make any sense because the planets he visited were too small to have any gravity at all. The book isn't about that.

Besides, being from a purely communist country myself Imagine always felt more about friendship (read "cooperative behaviour"), rather than "we should all live in a socialist world where everyone is absolutely selfless".

PS: Saying that, I know Lennon was more communist that capitalist. But who really cares about what musicians say about politics? He inspires me to take a pragmatic stance on his ideas and transform them into something real.
I think the main failure to use technology is actually in communication, specifically in handoffs, communication with patients, etc. Paper records exist even though the infrastructure to make paper records work (including a population of young people willing and able to make this system run) is largely gone. Practices need to write referrals, and will try to fax documents over which then need to be re-entered. HIPPA, rather than encouraging EMR systems, makes professionals skittish to put anything into a computer. Rather than medical information breeches, we suffer from the medical information not getting to the right people.
I drink large amounts of coffee. Previously, I bought a 4oz jar of anhydrous caffeine powder. I've also been on 10mg BID amphetamine.

To compare the 2, the amphetamine feels more artificial bodily wise. However ingesting about 500mg caffeine has the similar bodily feel as 10mg amphetamine. Given the amphetamine did some tricks like time delayed whereas the caffeine did not, does make it harder to compare. The caffeine did stay just as long, and provided a much longer bodily high.

These days, I just drink coffee and stay away from pills and powder. Safer.

There’s something weird going on in this discussion. There are commenters discussing where they imagine iOS devices headed and other users who are discussing iPad vs Surface. The later is bringing in the OS war discussion.
Not true for the Swiss, it is quite common for people to bring a lunch, only for the offices in central districs is it more common to go somewhere else to eat.
Except they actually provide useful features like Firefox Sync. If you opt into that service it is impossible for them to provide it to you withouth having your data on their servers.

Do you feel the same way about including Google as the default search engine? If not, why not?
Couldn't they can mandate, that no customer must be charged MORE than the global fee, and violations instantly lose their ipv4 addresses (or rather replaced with v6)?

I don't know who the ultimate benefactor would be - would it be ICANN?
That dialogue is gold.
>We need to just listen to what the experts say

People saying supersonic travel is a step in the wrong direction are listening to experts who agree that our use of fossil fuels is a threat to humanity and the environment. And what about when experts disagree? There has to be some level of independent thought to parse and apply what experts are putting forward.

Generally a case is heard "en banc" by a larger panel only as an appeal -- at the discretion of the court -- from an inital decision of a 3-judge panel. In most of the circuits, en banc rehearing is before all the judges of that circuit. The 9th Circuit is so large and has so many circuit judges that even en banc appeals are haeard by only a subset of the circuit judges. An en banc panel in the 9th Circuit consists of 11 judges: http://cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/general/2017/02/10/En_...
I don't really know how anyone could honestly compare caffeine and amphetamines. One is like a knife and the other is like a 50 cal machine gun, as far as stimulation goes. There is a reason amphetamines are a schedule II drug and caffeine is not.
> The president isn't "our leader."

Yes, exactly. Because this isn't an authoritarian dictatorship. We have democracy. We vote in representatives. We discuss policies with peers and campaign for people who represent changes we want to see. That's the difference and that's what our free speech protects.

EDIT:

> Let me give you a bit of obvious propaganda by people who really do run the country

That's demonstrably false. Disabling telemetry resulted in the collection of meta-telemetry, in violation of users' explicitly expressed decision to not allow collection of telemetry.

They're not lying, they're just missing the point.

1. I don't want recommendations, I didn't ask for recommendations. Having it as a feature that can be enabled for pocket-users might be defensible, opt-out isn't.

2. Even if they're somehow keeping your full browser history on your machine for processing (which is an irrelevant point anyway since it's often synced with your Firefox account anyway), the point is they're collecting data on your personal preferences. The raw data isn't the point, the generated metadata representing a personal profile of you is. It's the processing, regardless of where it takes place, that is objectionable in itself. Doing that processing at all in any form is the antithesis of what Mozilla claims they stand for in this article.
Switching to a different default search engine is trivial. Removing pocket not so much...
Firefox does not force you to submit data to them to be useful. Everything can be disabled.
I don't get it. Why is the author complaining? He requests 17 digits of accuracy which is not something you should be using floats for in any form. Just import/link a package which can do arbitrary precision arithmetic of your choice and pay the overhead price.
Exactly. I don't have a problem Google or Pocket defaults.

But if I did, Google seems 100x the larger problem.
Curious, let me construct a bit of a straw man. Would you be ok with their data collection if that data was only interaction data? What features are you using, sans tracking features that may reveal who you are and what sites you visit? Assume for the sake of this question that it has been verified by 200 third parties to be the case.

What about bug reports?

I’m just curious if the line is “absolutely no data” or “nothing identifiable to me or my habits”, or something else.
A bit reminiscent of the "Recognizing Textual Entailment Challenge (RTE)" which was run under the "Text Analysis Conference" umbrella and hosted by NIST until it was discontinued a few years back. An interesting insight from a qualitative analysis of the deviations of submitted answers versus gold standard answers is that it can be explained surprisingly well by: random choice minus publication bias. See here:

http://richard.bergmair.eu/pub/thesis.pdf [page 43]

That's what the number "53.84%" sounds like to me.
Exactly. I stopped trusting Mozilla when Pocket went in. I just "upgraded" Firefox to make it shut up, and I spent 15 minutes checking the privacy options to see if they were sneaking anything in. I still don't see a way to totally remove "Sync".

I don't want the browser talking to any site that's not absolutely necessary to display the page. Period.
What are you referring to? Link please
It's a rule of thumb. You don't refactor if and only if three duplicates exist.
They should be transparent about what data they have. There are options like "Allow Firefox to send technical and interaction data to Mozilla" and "Allow Firefox to send backlogged crash reports on your behalf" in Firefox, I don't recall if they are enabled by default when you install the browser but I seem to recall that at least one of them is. These options have nothing to do with the Sync feature.
My experience of Swiss is really limited and "in central district" but... The first time I bring my meal I was told like a father to a child "no, here you work, there you eat, we are humans not slave nor machine" and it wasn't a "left-wing extremist"...
I'm with you, especially on 4). Truth be told, doctors work long hours because they are used as the last line of defense for the patient in a ressource-constrained system. This in itself is certainly not optimal, but it seems no one can really come up with a good solution for the time being.
Hours and shifts are a very complex problem for health care, and at the risk of appearing presumptuous, I would say that non-MDs and MDs alike do not have a sufficiently clear understanding of all the factors at play to make propositions in full knowledge of the consequences. Only healthcare policy specialists can really find their way in those waters.
That said, I would love my shifts to shorten. If that's a good thing for society at large is anyone's guess.
Your decision to show ads to your users this last week without their consent was the last straw for me. And believe me, I've stood A LOT from you. My relationship with you has been practically abusive. Farewell Mozilla, it's been real.
> Everything can be disabled.

If it is enabled by default, then they are doing it wrong.
For me, coffee is my stimulant, alcohol is my relaxer/antidepressant. I've never used any illegal drug, or used a prescription drug without an indicated reason and prescription for it.
