Not a risk, a certainty. Until this ruling, not having a physician-patient relationship was an absolute safe harbor against professional liability.

Not a malpractice lawyer here, but surely the answers to your question are somewhat obvious? Many countries don't have the same culture of suing doctors as the USA.

Having read this I honestly was left wondering whether malpractice should exist as a concept at all. Clearly several people screwed up with bad consequences here. But it seems like this isn't something the courts can fix.

For one, isn't it true that many (most?) doctors in the USA have malpractice insurance? Any lawsuit win against them doesn't make much personal financial difference, just increases medical costs for everyone else as the payment to the 'victim' (not the actual direct victim in this case) is just socialised and dispersed. Moreover the fact that insurance is sold at all suggests that malpractice claims are seen as being in some sense random and unavoidable risk events, not something that can actually be avoided by just being sensible.

For another, presumably the underlying logic of malpractice suits is to punish the underlying error in order to incentivise ... something ... that would prevent a recurrence. Is there any plausible, actionable outcome here which would prevent this type of repeated human error in future? One that that isn't counterbalanced by costs that would yield worse outcomes in other cases? If so, why are we so sure the courts are best placed to locate and enforce this vs the medical profession itself, which I believe already aims to save as many lives as possible?

In the software industry there are no malpractice suits. I can't believe it would benefit anything if there were: imagine if people could directly take devops staff at major web services to court anytime there was an outage because they made a thinko in a config file? Would this magically eliminate outages because everyone is now being super careful? Certainly not. People are already well incentivised to avoid mistakes. You'd just get malpractice insurance in the software industry too, and those costs would be passed on to employers in one form or another, so all that'd occur is random payouts to random people who happened to sweet-talk the court into perceiving "malpractice" vs ordinary mistakes and a whole lot of time spent on lawyers. I can't believe it'd actually impact software reliability in any meaningful way, and if it somehow did it'd probably only be by eliminating business models that were striking a reasonable risk/stability balance already (e.g. Twitter and Facebook in the early days prioritised moving fast and breaking things over absolute stability despite millions of people using their services).

It's not only about changing history, it's about getting transactions mined in the first place: censorship-resistance.

In Bitcoin, as long as you pay the fee, some miner will probably mine your transaction, based on purely economic incentive. Miners that refuse to serve certain customers based on "tainted" coins or illegal activity simply forego that revenue to miners who don't.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and conjecture that Facebook at the 100 entrenched industry players who are part of this new system will probably not consider censorship-resistance as a high-priority goal for the system. They will probably have a law-enforcement login portal that calls up Facebook's data profile of participants in a suspect transaction. There will probably be blacklists and fund freezes. There will probably be State Department liaisons to help comply with sanctions.

I know that for my most recent vehicle purchase (paid cash, no loan) the dealer left their own anti-theft device installed. From what I could gather online, they use them for anti-theft on the lot and then can try to upsell you on a service that uses the same hardware during the sale.

It's wired directly into the ignition system. Despite having a computer engineering degree and enough experience to be reasonably confident in my ability to analyze unknown electronic systems, I spent a lot of time very carefully going through all of the connections to convince myself I wasn't going to brick my vehicle by removing the device. In the end it was pretty easy to yank the device. The hardest part was patching the ignition wire, which had been cut to install the device.

Conclusion from the previous paragraph? It's not that hard if you know what you're doing, but I'd bet that something like 99% of people wouldn't have a clue how to remove it even if they noticed it was there at all.

Its because all of these companies are cheap and don't want to deal with the customer support cost of people who lose a virtual/physical MFA device. Instead, they treat virtual/physical MFA like a convenience feature that their customers keep whining about. But, if you've got that SMS on backup, then who cares if you lose the MFA; just use your phone, security be damned.

1Password is also guilty of this in a different way: They won't let you register a U2F physical security key unless you also have a virtual security key on the account.

This is ridiculously simple. I'll spell it out:

1) Offer Virtual, U2F, and SMS-based multi-factor authentication. SMS is still useful for convenience on platforms which pose less of a security risk to your digital life.

2) Don't gatekeep methods of multi-factor authentication behind others.

3) Allow multiple devices for each method of multi-factor authentication, especially physical U2F keys.

4) Offer backup codes.

5) Offer an Enhanced Lockdown option, whereby customer support account recovery is irrevocably impossible in the event of lost multi-factor.
My understanding is that they were providing a VPN that did the tracking and blocking, without gaining any access to the actual device. I don't see how this article is related to MDM profiles or Apple's press release.

Man, I remember my Dad excitedly showing me Visicalc on our Apple II when he came home from working at Kodak. He loved it and I remember playing with it a bunch as well. There's something pretty magical about it.

And I still think there's room for innovation. Not something cloud-based, but something that lies in the middle between a classic spreadsheet, and other concepts like Jupyter or the Mac's "Calca" app.

What I don't like about spreadsheets is that you can't document them, like literate explanations about what the calculation is or why. You can do that in Jupyter documents, but bringing in reactive calculations to Jupyter is still a very hacky affair, akin to invoking "recompile entire document" after every adjustment.

If I could have something that was more like a spreadsheet, meaning reactive calculations as a first class concept, but still one step away from the grid UI with room for documentation and explanation, I'd be very happy. Literate Spreadsheets, basically.

> The bar is higher because there's free (or near free) specialized education overseas and not domestically.

Uh not really.

I've been a front-end developer for almost ten years. When I first started out, yeah, you could teach a monkey to build a static site. Most of the jQuery I knew was copy and paste, easy stuff.

Now? You need to be an expert in Javascript, Object Oriented programming, CSS preprocessors, NPM and various build tools, template languages, responsive frameworks and at least another dozen or so technologies people are using to create dynamic websites. This doesn't even scratch the surface of what you need to know if you're interested in developing mobile apps.

Web designers don't have it much easier. You need to be completely fluent with every Adobe tool and Apple Sketch or any collection of wireframing software. Toss in deep knowledge of font pairings, color theory and you need to have expert level knowledge of CSS. You're not a "web designer" anymore either. You're now a UI/UX developer.

And did I mention that every single one of these technologies come and go faster than mumble rappers on Soundcloud? So once you've taken a year or so to learn BackboneJS, poof then Angular and ReactJS comes out, and now you have to pivot to those languages. Oh, you're company loved Angular but the new guys like ReactJS? Oh too bad, now we're going to use React instead. Oh you just interviewed for a new role, but they're in love with VueJS, do you know that too?

The bar is higher because development in general has become exponentially more complex and continues to get more complex every month. Specialized Education overseas really has nothing to do with it. At the rate technology is changing on the front-end side, there's just no way education can keep up.

I was wondering about that too. Wikipedia has a nice explanation of how the two are different:

In the first model the friction of the strings was achieved by a mechanical bow traveling sideways. The second model featured a single rotating wheel, similar to that of the earlier hurdy-gurdy, to play strings. It differs in that a hurdy-gurdy has a small number of strings that are constantly in contact with the wheel, rather than a larger number of strings that can be lowered onto the wheel. A hurdy-gurdy has a keybox with tangents that change the pitches of the strings, rather like placing fingers on violin strings. Leonardo's innovation of a keyboard with a lowering mechanism allowed individual notes to be played, alone or in specific desired chords over a large range of pitches.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viola_organista#Description

In terms of sound, the instrument in the video in the posted article is not at all like a hurdy-gurdy. I find it sounds like a string quarted. Perhaps it's more the kind of pieces that are normally played on a hurdy-gurdy that tend to have a very folk-y sound, whereas the gentleman in the video above is playing a classical piece. But I don't think I'd really mistake this for a hurdy-gurdy.

All of which reminds me- man, I'd love to learn to play the hurdy gurdy. Damn expensive instrument though.
Hyper-V works in nested virtualization, the limitation seems to be in VMware in this particular case.
This is a violation of OOP. Instead, consider methods that produce and consume a serialized representation of the data instead.

Things like Java serialization and Python pickle attempt to do what you say and are considered failures (or at least security risks) because they allow a third party to act on object implementation internals.

Security aside, a denormalized representation of data could be different than the implementation specific representation that's encapsulated inside an object.
> the US will (or rather should) back the right to self-determination

Indeed. There are powerful institutional reasons why the US does so, including the desires of the American electorate and the structure of US commerce.

> I just don't think one can sustain Wilson in some scenarios and not in others, as a principle. One can calculate pros and cons and allow secession only if certain conditions are met, but we cannot dismiss it with prejudice.

Right, but primary among those conditions must be the power forms of power that could be brought to bear. This is more complex than "If the US 7th fleet were to sail to Hong Kong, it could be sunk by the area-denial power of the People's Liberation Army Navy." because power is more complex than that. But the fact that the PLA could invade Hong Kong is a significant weight on the scale. And so any exercise of power in order to back Hong Kongers right of self-determination is going to have to be more skillfully constructed than anything I could come up with. and it might not be possible. It depends partly on how subtle and skillful the diplomats serving under Trump administration can be.

And the results of that are not going to be consistent with the results of trying to support the self-determiniation of Estonians breaking away from a collapsing USSR. After all, the US didn't succeed at supporting the self-determination of Estonians prior to the 80s.

>We still live like kings compared to most of human history.

We have more collective wealth than any time in human history, and more collective wealth than we did ~40 years ago when working people had the living conditions I described above. As far as I'm concerned, there's no "good" or "acceptable" reason that the artificial system ("the economy") that we designed and continue to maintain, that has resulted in far worse living conditions for the average American, should not be changed so that our collective wealth is more evenly distributed among those who participate in our system. Especially dishonest and (more frequently) ignorant people will blame the, "free market" for the massive (and growing) disparity in wealth, but there is nothing about our economic system that is "free". From our central bank to our byzantine "regulatory" structure to our legal system to our tax code to currency control and beyond, we have a financial system that is tightly controlled, regulated, and guided by powerful, entrenched interests at the upper echelon of the financial world. It isn't even useful to draw a distinction between governmental and non-governmental entities at this level, because they are the same. Our economy has been guided and controlled by a rotating door of corporatists (or whatever other adjective you choose to describe our economic oligarchs) to ensure wealth consolidation.

We can either recognize the problem - that our whole system has been off the rails for some time and is horribly broken - or we can continue down the same path of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer until we reach a breaking point. Hopefully we choose the former path but unfortunately the latter seems more likely.
It seems like a fair estimate to me, especially given the fact that were growing but didn't extrapolate any growth.

It seems to me that if NPs are incapable of making (at least some) correct diagnoses and must defer to the expertise of a supervising doctor, then they cannot also be responsible for the doctor being incorrect.

Either they are trained well enough to make the decision on their own (which would mean the NP shouldn't need permission for this patient to be admitted) or the doctor is actually the person who is responsible for the patient's well-being.

“Winston turned a switch and the voice sank somewhat, though the words were still distinguishable. The instrument (the telescreen, it was called) could be dimmed, but there was no way of shutting it off completely.
