>"A mass hysteria happens when the public gets a wrong idea about something that has strong emotional content and it triggers cognitive dissonance that is often supported by confirmation bias. In other words, people spontaneously hallucinate a whole new (and usually crazy-sounding) reality and believe they see plenty of evidence for it. The Salem Witch Trials are the best-known example of mass hysteria. The McMartin Pre-School case and the Tulip Bulb hysteria are others. The dotcom bubble probably qualifies. We might soon learn that the Russian Collusion story was mass hysteria in hindsight. The curious lack of solid evidence for Russian collusion is a red flag. But we’ll see how that plays out."

Tis a shame I started to go to bed earlier during the weekdays recently. Otherwise I may have been able to see this outside my apartment window.

Personal grumpiness aside though, I'm relieved that it didn't end up making landfall considering how close it was to some pretty major cities. I wonder if there's any hope for recovery of the meteorite itself since it appears to have fallen in the bay/ocean. Is it possible that it's close enough to land that they could find even a few parts of it?

Either way, I'm hoping more footage of the entry event starts coming in. Preferrably with audible reactions.
I have been in hospitals and seen them going through checklists with my own eyes. I don't think your assumption is completely accurate. Maybe it depends on the health system, the procedure, or the facility.

Convince parents that teaching kids to think critically is more important than indoctrinating said child into whichever religion or political sphere the parent is already a part of. In my experience that’s a broadly impossible task. Parents want their kids to think critically only about the things the parent already rejects.
Given that any routine could be made into a checklist, it seems likely that you have lots of everyday checklists that you do a good (or good enough?) job of keeping track of in your head.

Maybe for most things that you could use a checklist for, the effort just isn't worth it?

I don't know how I'd live without checklists and Trello boards. Just running a family with a couple of kids, I don't get how people used to do this.

Each kid has their own schedule, their own list of items they need that day, their own homework.

When you shop, you need to know what to get for everyone.

And there's the paperwork, you have to decide what to buy for major purchases and pay for them all, and you have to sign up to various things like voting registries and local tax.

Add to that your work, where you have a bunch of tasks to do as well, various projects, bugs, meetings, and so on.

I lived through the pre-mobile, pre-everyone-had-a-computer era, and I don't get how people did anything. Paper diaries? Rolodexes?

Shopping lists are basically checklists.

In development, could be "pre-release/pre-push-to-production checks".

I knew a world class track athlete who also left the sport completely. To her it was something that parents and coaches had forced on her so she got out as soon as she could despite all the success.
Adding a physical act (in your case taking a picture) has been shown to DRASTICALLY increase the rates at which items are completed.

The classic example of this are train drivers: https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/pointing-and-calling-j...

"Originally developed by the now-defunct Kobe Railroad Administration Bureau in the late Meiji Period (the early 20th century), pointing-and-calling is known to reduce workplace errors by up to 85 percent, according to one 1996 study."
"dumbs down" is such a loaded phrase, but I'd argue that it's accurate here and most other places it's used. Anything that makes something easier is dumbing it down.

However, I want it "dumbed down". I want it to be easier to prevent mistakes. I want smart people to use more of their brainpower on things that can't be solved by some words and boxes on paper. If the surgeon is thinking about the surgery instead of what he might have forgotten about the pre-op, that's good, IMO.
Your example depends more on the personality (and mood) of the surgeon than on the existence of a checklist.

Example without checklist:
Nurse: Dr, I think you forgot to do X.
Dr: Oh, you are right, thanks a lot

Example with checklist :
Nurse: Dr, you missed step #4.
Dr: I have done this list every day for the past 15 years, I know I ddid not forget anything, don't question me

As someone who has the "enlightening" experience of getting his high-school education in multiple states and took note of the "inconveniences" in history and science that each state chose not to focus on or downplay I assure you that an education system that at the end of the day answers to government is not going to eagerly teach the population how to detect bullshit.
Which is a shame! Certainly feels demotivating as a state school grad.

_reductions_. but how does it compare using absolute rates? it's usually easy to achieve good numbers when the baseline is sub-par (diminishing returns).

As the other poster said, women marring into the military tend to be more conservative, and they're generally looking for a financial set-up. They marry the military guy because he has a regular job that's hard to get fired from, usually paid housing, etc., and she won't have to work.

Of course, a huge number of military marriages end in divorce, but then the wife gets a nice payout from that too.
I wonder what happens if you include all the people who do a few years, drop out, and never get a degree. Graduating from college still makes sense if you can do it, but lots more people start college than graduate, especially as you start getting to less selective schools.

The medical community uses checklists. They've been using checklists for a while. A number of studies found that they only help for a few months, while they're new.

That said, "the medical community" is not a homogeneous monolith, and you can absolutely find regional variation in what checklists are used for, how detailed they are, how closely they're followed, how people are accountable for keeping to them, etc.

>I've been getting so upset at the medical community recently

http://www.paulgraham.com/submarine.html

Don't confuse media narratives with what's actually going on in the medical community. It's a sure-fire way to get (a) upset, and (b) entirely misled. Medical science has been a major target for media FUD for ages.

I agree with the first part, but not with your conclusion.

There is way too much litigation. Hospitals and staff are using defensive legal strategies-- obscuring docs, discouraging internal (written) investigation, delaying urgent treatment with unneeded consultation (to get more signatures on a decision).

IMO, there should be legal protection against malpractice lawsuits. Increasing the attack surface will not help with the core problem:

Doctors are over-worked, they are human and they make mistakes. The solution is to either enforce work conditions for doctors (and people die) or accept those mistakes (and people don't get money when they are on the wrong side of statistics)
Kids that think critically are less susceptible to lazy parenting.

Nobody wants to explain to their 5yo why they can't afford a Barbie Jeep but can afford booze or going out to eat. Nobody wants a teenager that is well versed in assessing the goals and motivation of all the parties in any given situation because they'll recognize all the partial truths they get fed in an attempt to make them to take risks in a manner more like an adult. A teenager that understands statistics well would be impossible to scare into not doing "bad things". Likewise thinking critically is not a high priority thing for parents to teach.

When you're dealing with someone who can't think on the same level as you lying is just so damn easy. They are playing checkers. You are playing seven dimensional chess. Teaching kids to think critically requires a constant effort and directly negatively impacts the parents in the short term. It's like quitting smoking for 18yr, no wonder most people don't do it.
This story's title here on HN seems to contradict the actual news story. According to the HN title, there is no shortage of AF pilots. It says the outlook is grim for the shortage, not for the number of pilots, so it means that the shortage is probably going to go away.
> If the surgeon is thinking about the surgery instead of what he might have forgotten about the pre-op, that's good, IMO.

Agreed. The only issue is that if the surgeon isn't thinking about the surgery because he's still doing all the routine paperwork.
Google already can do this by preloading a cached page from its own domain. So this specification is unnecessary.

I think the real reason is that Google wants to build a walled garden, but doesn't want the walls to be noticeable. Even with AMP, they display a header that looks like a browser's address bar [1]

Also, on that page Google admits that it uses AMP Viewer to collect information about users:

> Data collection by Google is governed by Google’s privacy policy.

Which is probably their real motication for creating AMP.

One of the issues I've seen in implementing checklists is actually the urge of people to put extreme detail into the checklist and people not putting items in a reasonable order. If you look at the referenced checklist (https://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/handle/10665/44186/97892...) it is a very approachable list that acknowledges good skill in the people involved. Note that the "before patient leaves" checklist mentions the sponge count but the pre-incision checklist does not. That's because a sponge count is simply part of the job of an instrument nurse and something they always do when they open a pack of sponges.

It's also hard to insert checklists into established procedures. One thing you could do is attach them to important parts that are not allowed to be used until you read the checklist. For example, you could refuse to unwrap the main surgical pack until the pre-incision checklist is followed. Pharmacy could wrap the anesthetic induction drug in the first checklist. The surgeon could be responsible for signing the final checklist in order to get paid.

Keep checklists simple, use them every time. Put them in places where they have to be used.
I have to agree. Learning how to persuade people has been great for learning how to spot people trying to persuade me, and what their goal is.
Ask HN: Pay and Specializations in Security?
I am reading a post on security here (linked below) and it identifies three specializations (also below).

My questions are: Are these really three distinct specializations? Which is considered the most fun / prestigious / well paying / has the best career prospects?

1. "offensive security" (scanner jockey -> netpen -> appsec -> vuln research / red team)

2. defensive security (secops -> seceng -> security management)

3. malware analysis (malware analysis -> malware analysis -> still more malware analysis).

Do you have some numbers to back this up? Everywhere in the west I look, christianity is losing grounds. People practice less, they still have the belief on the paper but don't go to church, don't pray, baptize kids only due to pressure from older generations etc.

Most I know come up with their own version of religion based on christianity - picking up what they like, ignoring rest. Which is a sane and fine solution and practically transition to agnosticism over few generations, but it sure ain't the same christianity branch they claim to adhere to.

It could be still adding numbers due to remote missionaries wiping out local religions and overall increasing numbers (I sure as hell hope not), but I can't imagine this trend in western democracies. Immigration you mention should be 0-sum game - yes more immigrants in their new home country go into church, but they left their home country.

Other religions, especially islam might be another story.

Of course the KMT is "pro-unification".

That's a historical constant, nothing funny about it.

I remember Ma Yingjiu (the previous KMT ROC President) asked about 'independence' in 2011. He replied that the Republic of China had been independent since it was founded in 1911. Very good reply that summarises the situation to those who do not know Chinese history.
As a pilot, we use checklists in a solo flight differently than in a crew flight. I fly solo flights by “flows,” and then use/review the checklist at the completion of a flow to confirm I did not miss any step. In general the flows are a right-to-left arrangement of things you do in a certain phase of flight. That way you scan over the things in order and do/verify everything in a single “flowing” motion.
>The Scottish Patient Safety Programme (SPSP) is a national initiative which aims to improve in‐hospital mortality rates in Scotland. The SPSP was established in 2008 and had perioperative management, including implementation of the WHO surgical checklist, as one of its four key initial workstreams. This programme offered a systematic approach to improve patient safety across all hospitals in the country26.

>After testing, review and feedback from health boards across Scotland, the surgical checklist was included as one of the ten Patient Safety Essentials to be implemented across all health boards in Scotland37. The surgical checklist was not a stand‐alone intervention. It was, however, the only Patient Safety Essential that targeted surgical patients specifically during the interval studied37. Thus, the addition of the checklist to the other parameters within the SPSP may have contributed to the improvement in results observed in the present study.

>It is acknowledged that attributing causal links to the findings in population‐wide data set analysis is not possible.

What you said they didn't do is kind of exactly what they did. Yes, there is some attempts at hand waving, but it's silly to boil down the success of a large and multi pronged program to a simple checklist.
The medical community uses checklists. They've been using checklists for a while. A number of studies found that they only help for a few months, while they're new.

That said, "the medical community" is not a homogeneous monolith, and you can absolutely find regional variation in what checklists are used for, how detailed they are, how closely they're followed, how people are accountable for keeping to them, etc.

"The Checklist Manifesto" chose to overlook the studies about how transient the benefit of checklists is.
I'm super excited by this announcement. Yes, I'm a Panic fanboy and have been since I first used Transmit over 15 years ago. I've long since moved away from Panic software – as the development process changed I didn't feel like their solutions were as relevant anymore. But that's what excites me about their announcement – they're admitting things have changed so much that an incremental release won't cut it, they have to go back to the drawing board. And when they do that, great things happen.

There's a lot of skepticism in the comments about the size of the undertaking and their ability to produce something significantly different in a crowded market. Isn't that what we all do to some degree? And I would argue they have a proven track record of doing that repeatedly (with some flops mixed in as well). Transmit didn't invent FTP interfaces, but the ease of use and speed were head and shoulders above the existing clients. They're getting some flack for their claims about Coda, but it really was a giant step forward over existing editors at the time.

One of the reasons I've always liked Panic is that they dog food their products and it shows. They have always been at the edge of web design and development (including the controversial margin on this page) and that comes from building and using an advanced toolset. Can't wait to see what comes next.
My argument is not tendentious. You're not addressing it. And software not working as well with a particular group as a result of the group having less common features is not a violation of human rights. It's an unfortunate reality of the finiteness of our resources and the limitations of our technology. Expanding the performance of the softare by focusing on how it performs with some arbitrarily selected subset of the group, rather than the whole of it, is misguided.

>>If it costs a bit more to do the right thing, so be it.

In this case, the cost is more lives being lost, and the right thing is only the right thing according to an arbitrary and flawed value system that you are submitting as the ideal.
Sounds like it, but Elm is only for front-end web dev.
A lot of the time, people ignore over small, simple things because they either assume someone else already took care of it or that it's such an obvious thing that how could anyone not notice. The checklist forces you to actually look up and see that the extra blood needed for the surgery didn't show up or that one of the surgeons present is actually supposed to be in another OR.

It's like help desk asking you if it's plugged in. You may think of yourself as a technical person and that the problem is more complex like the driver isn't loaded or the monitor isn't properly configured but the problem could just be that you forgot to plug the video cable in. Just having those basic checks occur before anything can go wrong makes it so that when things do go wrong, time doesn't need to be wasted on going over the simple stuff or even worse, forgetting about the simple stuff and going down the wrong route.
Well, Taiwan is in China. What it is not is in the PRC. Do you mean the PRC's strategy to finish the job? Or do you not know about China?

The reality is that the KMT will never agree to surrender to the Communist Party.
They have been using checklists. This news is that they've measured how much harm has been prevented. It's the first country (Scotland) level research.

> The findings, reported in the April 17 British Journal of Surgery, are based on an analysis of 6.8 million operations performed between 2000 and 20014. The Surgical Safety Checklist was introduced in Scotland in 2008 as part of the Scottish Patient Safety Programme, and by 2014 the rate had decreased by 36.6 percent over six years to 0.46 deaths per 100 procedures. Researchers noted that this fall in death rates was not seen in patients who did not have surgery.
So, in other words, a class in critical thinking and media literacy.
There's an anecdote in The Checklist Manifesto which backs this up. I'm recalling from memory, so the details may be off, but when they tried to roll out a checklist program into a hospital, many of the surgeons resisted, feeling that it was insulting. After having used the checklist process for a while, this sentiment remained, but when surveyed "If you were going under the knife, would you want a surgeon who uses the checklist process", nearly all of the surgeons answered "yes". (when their own life is on the line, suddenly a checklist doesn't seem to repugnant)
You are correct that there are surgeons etc that would reply in the negative no matter what was said.

My understanding is that if the checklist empowers, say, 5% of the nurses to speak up and 5% of surgeons to acknowledge the error that is still a huge net positive over thousands of cases.

My favorite small nudge example is pill bottles vs "blister" packs. Having pills in blister packs has shown to have a significant effect on reducing suicide as it makes it much harder to get the number of pills needed. Yes, some people will still succeed but there is a segment of the target population who will give up after a couple pills.
