i would guess that if the employee handbook calls for two weeks notice of resigning, there would be some sort of case for getting paid if they were walked out right away. I'm probably wrong though.
I find it most interesting to use tools like this to augment - not replace diagnosticians and specialists.

Of course the key here is that the training set is crucial to building a high quality model - which of course needs a set of specialists to give their consensus on the diagnosis of the patient based on the images.

Presuming those folks can agree - the technology becomes a force multiplier for good. If they disagree or label things problematically - they become a force multiplier for bad.

It's instances like these that I believe why the medical-pharma industrial complex isn't necessary, and likely more inefficient and soaking up more money - directing them towards profits, or other less efficiently than individuals who are passionate for a solution; yes, we need the institutions like Harvard Medical School to support these people - however the capitalism that then takes advantage of innovation through rent-seeking behaviour for cures is questionable.

I was wondering if there are any similar sites for other popular software project, like Apache Projects for example. There are quite a few Apache names that don't seem to be very descriptive (ie. Apache Maven, Apache Kafka, Apache Spark, etc....).

As a 'binge drinker' of 20 years, I'll chime in: Almost all of the time, I drink at the pace of my drinking partners.

"Hey man, want another beer?" "Need another beer?" "You're drinking slow, catch up!" "Here's some shots"

On the rare occaisons that I drink on my own, I have 2-3 beers, I tend to enjoy them a little more. But in a group, I go at the group's pace.

Part of this is because it's very hard to enjoy the company of people who are much drunker than you. And they won't enjoy you if you are much drunker than them, so you have to all be on the same level.
I recall family members being concerned about this. And based on my rudimentary understanding of the plot, I'm not really surprised.

This stands under my general concern that tech companies are neither cognizant of nor culpable for the impact they have on society.
> histogram of death

Not something you read everyday!

How does your "wrinkle" make things necessarily worse? All [men] must die (sorry) at some point so succeeding at removing the biggest killers would give more people a second chance to die of something else later. Just because we cure cancer won't mean that there are suddenly more causes of death, just that the people who would have died from cancer will die of a variety of other existing things.

Anyway, your point likely still stands. It makes sense that companies will have to spread resources across a diversifying research field once the big killers become treatable.

> This is an interesting option as it allows in-memory databases to be atomically persistent without having to add any code.

It isn't quite that simple. To start with, you need either a cache line flush or cache line writeback instruction to get you data out to persistent storage. And the Optane DIMMs currently are used in one of two modes: as transparent expansion of DRAM or as separately addressed and managed storage. In the DRAM-like mode, the system's actual DRAM is used as a cache, and the Optane storage does not persist across reboots. In the storage mode, you need extra code to access it, though you can treat it as simply a block device instead of using special-purpose persistent memory programming interfaces.

To be brutally honest: because it's more likely to still be there in x years, for any value of x.

Of course if you _really_ care, you host it yourself, and then it exists for as long as you care. Imgur's an easy happy middleground though, so people use it.

I think it's a little telling when people think slavery, imperial conquest, genocide, etc., which are features of a society designed by people who are avowedly in favor of Democracy, does not create a contradiction. You can either acknowledge the contradiction and resolve one end of it, or the word itself is incoherent.
8051s also seem pretty under-powered for a task like that.

One thing with encryption on a USB-connected security dongle is that your scp / rsync / git pull invocation is going to go through it, and through its crypto engine. To make it not painfully slow, the crypto engine has to be pretty fast. It's likely not very cheap, either using a (fast) general purpose CPU core, or using custom / specialized circuitry.

Paying extra for high security at high speed may make complete sense in some cases. For a cheap mass-market product, it's less likely.

There are three different color patterns for the NWU, soon to be reduced to two because the blue one is being eliminated.

> It's not typically worn much on ships

The blue NWU was intended for ships (it was the first of the three, and the name “Naval Working Uniform” is indicative of it's intended role); it proved poor in that role because of the lack of flame resistance, which is why it became rarely used and is scheduled to be eliminated.

But that’s only because the company I was working for laid everyone off [1] when another company acquired us for scraps and our corporate customers. The customer I was working for made arrangements with the acquiring company to hire me as a contractor and gave me access to all of their (my) source code.

[1] the lay off was very well done. The company kept us informed of the situation the entire time we were struggling and the investors promised us that we would get paid as long as we were working. The acquiring company gave us each a month severance. We all had plenty of time to prepare and all of us had jobs lined up within two weeks.

> if you have a master's degree ... you will most likely get your H1-B visa

It's "most likely", if your definition of "most likely" is 51%.

Let's calculate the probability:

• In 2018, there were 95,885 applicants with a Masters degree or higher[1]. Out of 190,098 total applicants.

• There are 20,000 spots available for U.S. Master's degree holders, and 65,000 spots for everyone. (Ignoring the fact that there's a reservation of 1,400 for Chile and 5,400 for Singapore.)

• Your probability of rejection in the masters lottery is 1-(20000/95885) = 0.7914

• Your probability of rejection in the general lottery is 1-(65000/(190098-20000)) = 0.6179

• These are independent events; the probability of being rejected in both is: 0.6179 x 0.7914 = 0.489

• If you flip that, your probability of being selected in the lottery with a U.S. Master's degree is 0.51, ie. 51%.

It would not hurt to ask about current and future dilution and how exactly the company is currently estimating share value. Getting a straight answer is likely going to be a challenge though.

Assuming the company in question is not "public" then yes it would be good to be conservative about the valuation of their stock. It would be safe to assume that any number of shares of stock (options or grants) are worthless.

From my personal experience, you will likely be disappointed in whatever is left after investors and principles take their cut. They are almost certainly going to be privileged in a buyout over the holders of "common" stock. I have been in acquisitions where my option price was more than the value of my shares. I don't think this is uncommon.

Sorry, I see you also asked what "Stock Options" and "Stock Grants" are. Grants are like a flat out gift. The company gifts you some number of shares. Options give you the opportunity to purchase shares for a set prices regardless of what the current value of the shares actually is. Options are great if the option price is less than the actual price. They are worthless if it is the other way around.

Again, remember that "investors" and "principles" will almost certainly be compensated first out of the pot of money from an acquisition. After that, whatever is left (usually little to none) will determine the actual share price. However with a "big exit" what is left might make you rich :-) Just don't bet on it.

Those countries were in the middle of reaping the economic windfall of a century of colonial theft and exploitation, combined with relative internal stability, all in the context of advancements in metallurgy that took millennia to develop (All the while having large coal reserves... And a shortage of wood, because they've just finished clear-cutting their forests.)

For some reason, the industrial revolution did not develop in any other societies over the centuries that shared a similar system of free enterprise with imperial England... Why didn't the various Italian city states industrialize during the Renaissance?

I actually got my CHIP, though I ordered it on their website and not Kickstarter. I got screwed on the Peachy Printer. While I technically didn't get screwed on the M3D Printer, it was delayed so long, cheaper and better printers where available by the time I got mine. The closest I came to backing another was the "ABC of Connection" book. It was supposedly a book that was already done, and just had to be printed, so how could that fail? He never delivered the printed material, but eventually delivered a PDF. The PDF showed it was far from complete, and the dates in it showed he hadn't done any real work on it since taking the money. The whole time he was claiming issues with the printer, when it was no where near ready for printing.
Optimizing Kafka Streams Applications
While the Werther-effect[1][2] appears to be fairly well documented, it is very hard to point to causation in statistics like these.

However, in spite of the questionable stats, many media outlets such as the CBC err on the conservative side and have adopted practices to avoid detailed reporting on suicides to prevent the Werther effect.[3]

That depends on the type of call center. I imagine an answering service for a business (which is what we're told this is) will likely be a much less defined. For a medical or legal office (which is a common use case, I imagine), the "script" will be to try to suss out if the call is actually an emergency based on client criteria (if the caller presents it as such), and either take a message or use the emergency contact info on the account and relay the info to the client. At least, that's what it's been when I've encountered them.

With more free form types of calls, identifying problem accounts might take a little longer. That said, even if it lasts a week or two before a problem account is identified and removed, who is to say that's not plenty of time for the scammers? It's not like there's only a few call answering services around. Just cycle to a new one every week or so.

Do I think services exist that cater to illegal and semi-legal activity and try to skirt the line? Yes. I just don't think we should assume that's the case here without evidence, given how trivial it would be to do this with perfectly legitimate services.

This seems more like a media company thing than a tech company thing. Surely there have been other depictions of suicide in the media? Did they have the same corresponding uptick in suicide rates? That would have been a good addition to the article.

That being said, I really don't think we should dumb down or "tame" our art for the sake of safety. It's important to allow artists (the show creators in this case) the ability to tell any story that speaks to them, especially when that deals with sensitive issues like suicide.

The warning before the show seems like a good idea though.

Arm-Chair Social Science (NB): I think that binge-watchable media when binge-watched does affect the viewer, you become part of the cast of characters as a social group - or perhaps your mind thinks so.

Django works great if you're buying into the Django ecosystem. But if you're standing up a simple REST API, I've found Flask is much more flexible. Either approach will get you to where you're going, but I find Flask gets out of your way and lets you do your thing, while you have to find the Django Way of doing what you need to do.

This may be biased (I've been a Flask user since 0.7), and perhaps I'm stuck in my ways, but I've found I either need to find a supported and blessed Django plugin for the thing I need, or build something much more complex than I'd need in Flask.
I like Librem, though I am a little concerned here. I prefer if hardware and services comes from different companies.
