Thanks a ton for the questions and the thoughts! It is a terribly hard problem to solve, hence the plea to others on HN.

> - Do the patients go to the machine, or machine to the patient?

In an ICU, where these problems are most acute, the machines come to the patient. You can fill a good sized room with these machines if the patient is in an especially dire state. Like, maybe 30 carts if it is really bad.

> What's the failure mode? An alarm/alert to the nurse station, or death?

It's death. Death is the failure mode. There are others, like severe organ damage, but death is one worth talking about.

> Are there any machines at every bedside? Do all of them need to be used at once?

It depends. If the patient is fairly alright, you'll have maybe a few machines for vitals and not much more. If they are not alright, then you can have a LOT of machines in the room. Though you can have machines on stand-by, if they are in there, they are being used generally.

> Are the cables different? Or can you come up with a "standard" cable/connector for most of the gear?

Again, it depends. Some companies will standardize their cables and tubes, but they tend to not do so across companies. Also, cable and tube diameter is pretty much set by the need. Airways need laminar flow, so they tend to be larger, blood is more viscous, so it needs less than an airway, but it's still got to have some girth. Electrical can be very small, but if you need to deliver a lot of amps, then the cables grow. I'm sure you could come up with the optimal size across a lot of different applications and get a list of all the possible sizes, but that matrix would be very large all the same and might as well be continious.

> The audio world solved the "cables being knocked out" problem a long time ago with locking connectors (not screw-ins, so they're still quick connect)...

Yeah, there are a lot of quick connects out there, but the issue is that you have a patient that is in ICU psychosis trying to break out, or a panicked parent thrashing about, or a doc trying to lurch for the right tools or get to the patient. In these types of situations, you have to plan for the totally crazy events, not the calmer ones. Like, imagine trying to do audio mixing in the middle of the mosh pit. You're trying to plan for that event.
You can find an isolated incident for anything. When you get your GPS trackers, you'll be able to tell an anecdote about a child who was hiding from a criminal, but was found by a GPS tracker.
Me too! $410M worth of caviar sounded like a lot of caviar!
>modern sense that connotes "naughty bad not-christian women spellcasters"

Probably more Christian-age Germanic (?) rather than modern. Witches weren't/aren't necessarily female in most cultures, nor they are naughty/bad in many.

How did you successfully get approved for the Play store after getting rejected for permissions? I've tried basically all possible permissions options but was rejected. Special use case is submitted, no idea if a human will look at it or it's also automated.

food delivery service is blowing up because it's still extremely inefficient in the USA. you can get _anything_ delivered in Hong Kong for about $1. some hong kongers don't even have kitchens and live like that for years.

travis kalanick is investing millions of his own cash into this space.
The free part is about BUILDING the idea, so you don't have to pay anybody to have it done (basically 0 risk and effort). If the idea works, they will get equity, if it doesn't, you didn't lose anything.

It's a mix between a tech cofounder and an investor, and for me, it makes a lot of sense.

The root of these and similar problems is that agents of the state are not held accountable to the people.

I just enabled the status bar (in Session) but it seems to not show up for me. I'm using a custom theme but I've tried the default themes.
Thanks for the input! That's a pretty good idea!

The main issue is that you don't have the time to pull up the flooring and then run the lines. You get the machines into the room and then into the patient ASAP, as they tend to be some of the only things keeping them alive. Think a machine that replaces heart-beat function and that you will have a hard time disconnecting.
Has the system been trained and tested to even work with children's faces? Can it cope with having two different photos of a child taken a year apart?

Or (as seems to be the case) are we just shoveling data into a system and hoping it can cope.
Honestly the misinformation and fear mongering in this comment is staggering. Ignoring your blatantly antisocial comments about taxes and social improvement, nowhere has Bernie or any other Democrat for that matter suggested confiscating 401Ks. The free college plan and debt forgiveness will be paid for with Taxes on Wall Street trades. So unless you are a Wall Street banker you are unlikely to feel much impact and if you are then I have no sympathy for you, you've had decades of staggering growth at the expense of the rest of the country and your comeuppance is now due.

I'm a medical practitioner and that sounds a little silly to me too. I don't diagnose autism, though. I leave that to the paediatricians. The main reason that diagnosis is a big deal here is it's related to funding packages. I suspect that's also why ability comes into it.

The other thing is that autism is somewhat nebulous and it's in part a condition of not being able to cope socially in this world. So because of this, it makes sense what GP was saying.

I'm glad I don't need to diagnose autism. Severe is easy to see from 100m away. Borderline would be a coin toss.

That's a ridiculous argument. There are a myriad of other things that could have saved his life. Safety measures around the house to prevent young kids wandering outside at night, home surveillance to keep an eye on the property and alerts anytime movement is spotted around the house after a certain time, or even teaching kids not to go wandering off in the dead of night. How did he even get into the neighbors car? Was it malicious? Then it has nothing to do with tracking, they should worry about that neighbors record. If not, how would tracking have helped a young kid somehow getting themselves trapped in someone else's car?

Submit your best ideas to the harvesting machine. You're only lucky if your idea was a bad one and wasted their time to read it.
I'm not saying Mozilla isn't a good organisation to run this, I'm saying it seems insane to have what seems like policies that don't allow for any proportional response.

I don't know how involved you are, but to a lay observer this story seems like Mozilla's policies are entirely black and white, to the benefit of nobody (except perhaps to reduce work I suppose, which is reasonable, but not really a valid reason in terms of security)

Is there no tiered approach to risks? Hell, in this situation it seems like more harm and risk will have been created by the rush to reissue certificates that would have been caused by this theoretical security vulnerability.

Edit: Actually, on further reading, it seems like the issue is more that Actalis didn't correctly invoke their right to this discretionary power?
Exactly! For most minor crimes like car break in, unless it's part of a string, they'll be unlikely to assign resources to the investigation (unless the victim is a VIP), but for a more serious crime, there's some good clues for the investigation.
The title is kind of clickbait.

Amazon is requesting live crime data so they can push it to an app they made that ties into your ring doorbell and alerts you to crime.

It's related to an option you have to share video from your doorbell back to the cops if it caught any activity on camera.
Not necessarily. For example, if one app synchronizes with screen refresh and another does not, the latter will perform much better on this test but it’s not actually getting the changes to your eyes any faster.

It would also just be nice to know the magnitudes. If the hardware adds a constant 100ms (for example, not a real number) then a 10ms advantage on the software side looks less interesting.

The scientific method is not generally served well by people seeking to find a particular answer, as opposed to the truth.

> They make a lot of profit

I have always heard food delivery as a business is a great way to lose money. Do you have any examples of companies doing it profitably?
The density of HK is not comparable to basically anywhere in the US, except maybe just Manhattan. The labour sources are also a lot cheaper.

There's room to improve in the US, like making kitchens without the attached restaurant more prevalent, but as long as you have to get in a car to deliver the food, there's going to be the same problems the rideshare industry faces.
There is also a Mac release on there which is what I was asking about.

Sadly it's 32 bit and will soon stop working on MacOS? I wonder if this is resolvable.
>why should they be taxed to subsidize someone else's college?

THEY WONT BE. Bernie's plan taxes Wall Street trades to pay for itself. I doubt many tradesman are making huge volumes of derivates trades so they will likely not feel the impact and in return there kids and grandkids will now have the opportunity to go to college for free. Oh the horror.
You do realize that in the beginning I didn't even realize that the guy I was answering to is gay, right? That info doesn't show up anywhere in his comment.

Also, you do realize that absolutely all that I said, applies exactly the same to any sexual preference, right?

But of course, at the lack of any real argument against what I said, all that people like you can do, is to pull out some imaginary victim card.

Here is an idea for you, stop playing the victim and take some responsibility for your actions.
> A second question: Why is there no comments? Is this common?

Man I remember being this naive once :(
> an Open Internet

I have no idea what this means, especially capitalized like a brand of some sort, so I don't know how supporting extension developers would help or hinder that.

> users would start to shift towards thinking of Firefox as "the one I can extend."

Users already thought of firefox as the browser you could extend, but mozilla decided that wasn't a priority. I don't see them suddenly reprioritizing that.
This is pretty nice. If only because using a SQL dotted syntax seamlessly with JSON data.

> But that's true for any era and any city.

In particular my issue is that prices have quite literally doubled since 2012 or so. That hasn't been true for any era of any city, as you claim. The inflation of real estate is enormous, 1920s units with 2 bedrooms that have been trading around for 200-400k from the 90s until the recession have now ballooned up to 800+k.

Similarly, inner suburbs with transit connection are one by one ballooning out of control on prices as well. Somerville is now land of million dollar condos, Watertown and Waltham have gone wild, and so on. The starter

> Why not scale down, move a bit out of the city, have some nature for your kid, get a small EV, and save money ?

There's no way I'm ever taking a driving commute to downtown Boston, which is simultaneously expensive and stressful, but I am considering (when the time comes) moving to a town where I can take a train ride back in.

> You might also want to vote for people who don't allow their own city to be bought by foreign investors. The same thing is happening in paris and london, real estate isn't for people to live in anymore, it's pure financial assets for the rich.

Another notable one is zoning laws, in particular legalizing missing middle housing for the huge swathes of homes zoned for single family only (outside Boston proper anyways). I've written to my state reps about it.
What stack are the user-facing applications written in? I'm assuming since you're already multi-platform with such a small team that it's an Electron/ReactNative/something else binary packaged for each different OS, rather than 3 codebases?

Edit: considering there's a chrome devtools menubar option exposed in the app I'm guessing my assumption is correct haha. After fiddling with it for ~5 minutes, it seems annoying that I'm unmuted every time I join a new room. Is this intentional? If not, I think an option to join muted by default would be pretty helpful.

Last I checked my four year old iphone still works without paying for apple music, icloud or any other apple services. It also lasted longer then the phone I had before it (an android), and my friends phones that run android. I don't know if your argument holds water.
$2bn I believe. You can tell because of how eager they are to throw money away to drive customer acquisition.
Very interesting.

I read something the other day that 20-25% of US food-delivery-service drivers have admitted to stealing some portion of food (typically free-grab french fries).

I wonder if this exists elsewhere too. Or maybe it really doesn't matter.

> With decriminalization or even a legal market, that person maybe wouldn't have done it like that. With the black market, and criminality as it is, they probably didn't get the safety information they needed for harm reduction.

How do you figure that? The mind-altering effects of psychedelia aren't affected by the legality of the substances.

> The warnings on alcohol would be similar to other illegal drugs, alcohol is more toxic and dangerous than most of them.

That may be true but it is also irrelevant in a discussion on how dangerous psychedelia is (it's a form of what-about-ism). Plus, the analogue would be leaving kitchen knives around when drinking alcohol. I have truly never heard anyone call that a "rookie mistake".

To me it seems that users are well aware of the risks involved and when they discuss among themselves they are open about it. But when they are on message boards with "opponents" (like on HN), the tone of the discussion completely changes and risks are being downplayed.

Startup Bought for Data?
Can you come up with a startup acquisition that happened mainly because the acquirer wanted certain data?
Which is what you -do- to handle 'at least once' delivery. The system can try and hide that complexity from you,but there are still tradeoffs in any implementation. How long in between does that guarantee hold? Does it guarantee that if you fire the same message a year from now it will still recall that it's a dupe (i.e., persist all message identifiers for an infinite amount of time)? Probably not. Does that matter to you? Maybe!

Even if it does persist, does it persist the identifier on receipt of the message, or on sending it to you for processing? If the former you run the risk of crash and never having handled it; you really have no guarantee of delivery to your processor. If the latter, what happens if the receiver crashes before it hands it off to be processed? If simultaneous, is 'processing' atomic? Probably not; what happens if you crash midway through processing the thing? Etc.

That's my point; you need more details to make the system robust. You don't get "exactly once delivery" out of the box; you get a system that attempts it by deduplicating, but there be gremlins, and the fact you're not saying "it's at least once delivery with (details)" means I'm not hearing a technical pitch, but a marketing one.
Interoperability Working Group
Fact Labs | Founding Engineer | San Francisco and New York (NYC) | Onsite or Remote (US only) | Full Time

Building models in spreadsheets is broken. Spreadsheet models break down when you alter them, modularize them, or add more collaborators. Analysts in banking, investment management, and operations have gotten by with spreadsheets but not without enormous time and effort spent hacking around their many limitations. Fact Labs has developed a more powerful, more collaborative modeling paradigm that is inspired by logic programming and applied ontology yet is still accessible to sophisticated but non-programmer analysts. We are a small, funded, early-stage team with significant domain experience with our target customers.

You would be working on the core engine and the surrounding components that make up our application.

What we are looking for:

- Strong CS fundamentals (algorithms, data structures, networking)

- Prior experience building software systems (network game, game engine, Web browser, database engine, etc.)

Experience in any of the following is a plus:

- Language design and implementation (parsers, interpreters, virtual machines, compilers)

- Database design and implementation (query planning, database/storage engines)

- Logic programming / optimization

Language experience:

- C++ is required

- Typescript / Javascript / Lua are plus.

- Any logic/constraint language, such as Prolog, Datalog, SAT / SMT, is a plus

The modeling experience we’re building is unlike anything out there. If you believe that spreadsheets are not the last word in end-user programming, reach out (stephen [at] fac.tt) and tell us a little about yourself (bio, resume, or LinkedIn). We’d love to hear from you and show you what we’ve been up to!

The original intent of the two chambers of congress was that the Senate would represent the state (government) itself, and the House would represent the people living in the state. It wasn't until later that senators were elected by the people rather than appointed by the governor.

If the electoral college was apportioned correctly and the size of the house not artificially capped, there wouldn't be any reason to compare "voting power" of low-population vs high-population states.
