Same reason protesters disrupted traffic by blocking roads and holding train doors open during rush hour to prevent people from going to work, disrespect the national flag, etc.

Some of them are protesting for reasonable demands (even universal suffrage is not too unrealistic a demand for Beijing IMO but any dose of separatism is definitely a no-no) but increasingly it looks like the majority are students venting their anger because they found themselves in a bad economic situation and have a long summer break to spare.
Yes HIPAA.

Data protection is a huge latent cost in the dispensation of healthcare that goes unnoticed in discussions. And HIPAA can get expensive for the providers.

If you are a small covered entity, HIPAA should cost:
Risk Analysis and Management Plan ~$2,000
Remediation ~ $1,000 - $8,000
Training and policy development ~ $1,000-2,000
Total: $4,000 - $12,000

If you are a medium/large covered entity, HIPAA should cost:
Onsite audit ~ $40,000+
Risk Analysis and Management Plan ~ $20,000+
Vulnerability scans ~ $800
Penetration testing ~ $5,000+
Remediation ~ Varies based on where entity stands in compliance
and security
Training and policy development ~ $5,000+
Total: $50,000+, depending on the entity’s current environment
While not exactly the same, I see people in Slack workgroups that will dutifully respond to the Slack bot, which can die in a fire. While it's usually welcome someone to the channel or whatever, it's all annoying as hell. So, yes, I can easily see people dutifully following the app's suggestion.

Hell, people randomly text their phone number neighbor. People are really just sheep.
I don't often feel a strong emotion when a famous person dies, but this one got me. The beauty in her books is staggering, I read them with no preconceptions (which is often hard to do with famous books) and was completely blown away. As pure literature divorced from any reality they'd still be all-time great works, and their connection to the real experience of black people in America raises them to even greater heights.

From everything I have read she was a wonderful person aside from her writing. Thoughtful and careful, influential without being loud.

I think the world will miss her, and we will always have her words.
It really depends on the power. The lasers the protesters use wouldn't blind you due to the blink reflex. If what you're saying was true, hundreds of police officers would be blind right now.

Two pieces of software I’ve had to work with for the last five years are matlab and labview. Say what you will about matlab, I think the documentation is the best I’ve seen anywhere. The labview documentation is some of the worst I’ve seen.

I’ll generally forgive an open source project for poor docs, because I can read the code(and it’s free, so how much can I really complain??) Closed source that costs thousands? You better have have your docs tight. That said, labview docs are worse than many open source projects. Most of it boils down to useless tautological statements like

“X: the input variable x”

Three things that make the matlab docs so much better:

1. A plethora of examples, in the same page as the function doc. Labview makes you open a special program (no, it’s not available via a web search) and search for an example. The search function sucks.

2. Web searches for matlab docs return the doc for the latest version. Almost always with labview, you get something from like 2012.

3. A real discussion of the algorithm being implemented, with real references. I can’t recall ever seeing a citation in a labview doc.

So there’s some impressions, from a users point of view:)
I for one, welcome our new indestructible masters.
Sports are a big part of why some people hesitate to cut the cable cord. ESPN+ comes up quite short on some big time sports events and is kind of the 3rd string bench warmer of the sports streaming services because of this. It is almost pointless by itself and is really only suitable as a way to fill gaps in ones primary sports coverage.
Should be falling relatively slowly at that point. Helicopter can be pretty distant until the rocket has slowed and stabilized, and then always remain above it. The chance of two things that small in 3D space hitting is pretty small.

Is there more information about what the Disney+ catalog will include? It says that 2019 and future releases will be exclusive to Disney+ (though of course you can still buy individual movies, just not stream them), but I wonder about the rest of their catalog. Will all Star Wars movies be available? All other Disney-owned movies?

I can't tell whether I'm surprised the price is so low (three things for the price of Netflix!) or just cynically expecting that the price will go up as the value of the Disney/Hulu catalog increases. After all, Netflix has tons more content (much of it junk, admittedly) compared to the Disney catalog. So it would be pretty surprising if Disney thought they could charge very much for just the Disney+ piece. Hulu with ads is hard to value (and they could bloat it out with even more ads...). And are there local restrictions on ESPN+? Seems like there are lots of opportunities for add-on charges, such that a family could end up paying $20 or more each month for ad-free Hulu, ESPN including local, the entire Disney catalog, and multiple simultaneous screens.

Basically, it seems like this price announcement could be primarily meant to scare NFLX investors by making it seem like the be-all, end-all price for the Disney bundle will be 13 bucks. Or perhaps I'm too cynical?
But at the end of the day, it’s just static code analysis, right?

Sure, it’s smarter. But that’s still only one part of the picture, right?

A bit of a nit but the section on 'Timeline of relativity theory' should probably start with Galileo - this is still reflected in terminology like 'Galilean principle of relativity', 'Galilean transformation', 'Galilean invariance' etc
Capitalism describes a social organization where some people (the capitalists) own the means of production whereas most people are working for them. And nowadays, the «means of productions» are mostly in the form of patents and intellectual property (as most companies almost never build anything themselves[1], and pay contractors to build stuff for them).

[1] Apple don't build Mac, Mc Donald's don't operate most of its restaurants, car manufacturers merely attach together a bunch of spare pieces built by contractors, etc.
(disclaimer without details, I have a horse in this race)

This is a really good deal, frankly. Tons of content on demand on virtually every platform, good quality streaming, and with decent UI/UX.

I know a lot of folks are put off by the consolidation in the media industry, and the whole question mark over how streaming services don't violate the Paramount consent decree, but still. I don't feel like I'm getting had by streaming services when I subscribe, unlike cable.

Hopefully it doesn't turn into cable TV, but for the moment, it's a great time to cut the cord.

When you say you "wash" your hands, do you do a full "apply soap to all sides of hands" every time?

Personally, I rinse my hands (i.e. with only water) pretty frequently, but only wash with soap when the occasion calls for it (when arriving home, when my hands are greasy, or after sitting at the toilet), which probably averages 2-3 times per day.

On a separate note, my family doctor used some kind of antiseptic and moisturizing lotion on his hands. He said the antiseptic would tend to dry the skin, so adding a moisturizing element to it was a genius idea and whoever came up with it was probably making millions.

If a fucked up left shoulder counts as "evidence", sure. :-)

Doctor prescribed an MRI and then suggested a surgery (with a minimum of 6 months of recovery). I declined. Turns out it was my sleeping position. I used to sleep pretty much exactly as shown, except towards the morning my arm would also go under the pillow, further straining the shoulder. Now when I sleep I extend the arm slightly downwards. This was sufficient to eliminate symptoms.

Obviously this will vary based on anatomy. Do a simple experiment. Lay down in this position and see if you have tension in the shoulder joint. If you're muscular (I am), you will very likely feel it. That tension, applied 8 hours each night, will most definitely cause issues.
> Prior to iOS 10, the only way to display notifications for end-to-end encrypted chat without giving Apple a plaintext copy of everything in the notification was to abuse the VoIP feature.

It’s not the only way, but VoIP is the most reliable way. You can accomplish the same thing with encrypted silent push notifications, that wake up the app and trigger a decrypted local notification. Problem is that silent push notifications aren’t reliable because they don’t always wake up the app (which is throttled by the OS).
Doesn't have to be a standard IQ test, I would be fine with the test being about algorithms and systems design type questions. Just please remove the biased human component from interviews and use a more standardized metric across a group of people instead of randomly chosen questions for each candidate with subjective evaluation.
The current process is not great even for people with good tech skill due to the randomness and subjective evaluation factors.

Also you are wrong about standard IQ tests not being able to measure relevant skills for tech companies. They not perfect but I bet even those would do a better job than the current process. The psychometric research is clear that they are useful for predicting results across a wide variety of domains.

I was thinking that might have been true back in the 80s. Hell, I still feel that way about anything analog. It's just nothing is really analog any more. Once things went digital and encryption was implemented, things just became more of a social engineering type of hack to get people to give you the information to walk in the front door. It's not that you hacked the Gibson or anything. Also, modern systems just don't have the cool 3D interfaces that all of the systems from the 80s/90s had ;-)
The key feature of multiple values is that each value gets passed back to the caller on the stack, not the heap. So they don't cons garbage the way returning a list or struct would.

I think most patients are ultimately making the best choices for them in good faith and we should assume so unless provided evidence otherwise. I have a Vietnamese friend with an older, non-English speaking parent who can only be helped by a Vietnamese doctor. Sure you can have interpreters, but that's not always the most convenient. There is also another element to this that has to do with race/genetics, which I will argue for only as a devil's advocate. People from different cultures/races are well, different. An Indian doctor will have the most intuitive sense for diagnosing an Indian patient. And even if that isn't factually true, if the patient believes it, is it wrong for them to pursue the option they think is best for them? If we outlaw or punish people for making the choice they believe is best for them in good faith, would we not then be liable for any negative outcome that should result from that?

I find it uncanny how a "who got it first?" become a salient question today whereas as the time it was obvious both were excited at collaborating to make a theory that works well.

Really makes you wonder what would research would like without the race for publication.

What I was taught about this "rivalry" is that Einstein struggled with some parts of the theory and Hilbert proposed some complicated mathematical tools that Einstein at first felt should not be necessary but ended up using after a few months of frustration.

If Brin lived in Russia, spoke Russian, and wrote books in Russian we wouldn't call him American just because he wrote a few books in English too.

Perhaps you're not familiar with the history of that part of the world, but the individuals that I named were Persian speakers, who lived in a region that is called the Greater Iran today, and wrote most of their work in Persian. But in all fairness, Arabic was the lingua-franca at the time so they wrote books in Arabic too.

A better example would be to call Grigori Perelman an American mathematician because he published his work on arXiv [1].

Does it matter?

I think this misses the forest for the trees.

Yeah, we can focus on the first to discover something, but awards and acknowledgments are often on first to publish, e.g. Make it public.

After all, what does your grand descovery matter if you're the only one that knows about it and someone working in parallel finds it also and publishes first? And how does the scientific community verify the veracity of discovering first if you didnt publish first?

Hilbert might have know about it first, but what does it matter to the world writ large if he didnt publish? Einstein published, and thus the world knows and he is thus recognized for that.
> on a laptop, tracking space above the keyboard

I tried doing this with the internal webcam, using a clip-on fisheye lens, and mirrors. And eventually punted, using the bare webcam only for head tracking, and adding usb cameras on sticks perched on the laptop screen. With more sticks to protect the usb sockets from the cables. And lots of gaff tape.

> leapmotion

Leap Motion has finally been acquired, so the future of the product is unclear. And it's Windows-only (the older and even cruftier version supporting linux, doesn't do background rejection, and so can't be used pointing down at a keyboard). But it has apis, so you can export the data. My fuzzy impression is it's not quite good enough for surface touch events, but it's ok-ish for pose and gestures. When the poses don't have a lot of occlusion. And the device is perched on a stick in front of your face.

> Gestural stuff is nice when it's transparent and guess-able. Sadly not often the case

I fuzzily recall some old system (Lisp Machine?) as having a status bar with a little picture of a mouse, and telling what its buttons would do if pressed. And a key impact of VR/AR is having more and cheaper UI real estate to work with. So always showing what gestures are currently available, and what they do, should become feasible.

Even on a generic laptop screen, DIYed for 3D, it seems you might put such secondary information semitransparently above the screen plane. And sort of focus through it to work. Making the overlay merely annoying, rather than intolerable.

But when it all works, yeah, magical. Briefly magical. The future is already here... it just has a painfully low duty cycle. And ghastly overhead.

> There is also a third option, which is to send them somewhere else. There are a number of countries in Africa that are poor, but still aren't in the midst of any active war or genocide. If you're from a country that is, why not go there?

Because if you're going to uproot your life, you're not going to simply go to another miserable country like Bulgaria, you'll go to a country where it's worth moving to. When you buy a new phone, do you buy last year's phone ("it's good enough!") or do you buy the damn best phone you can afford ("it'll last me a long time!")? France will "last" someone a longer time than Bulgaria.
Interesting. I wonder what equipment they're using for $110 that gets a high-bandwidth data signal over multiple city blocks without running afoul of the FCC's limits for broadcast power and signal strength. At certain frequencies those can be remarkably constraining, low enough you can easily exceed them with a twenty dollar wifi adapter and a ten dollar yagi antenna.
My apologies, do you mean that the rest of the world does not have the same information in their brains as I do?? this apparently is news to me :-)
I'm a bit confused because you've switched from asking my opinion, apparently in earnest, to shooting me down. But for the record:

Grass fed beef is more nutritious than grain fed (easily googled).

Grass fed beef is leaner and has a noticeably different fat composition (easily googled). This is pertinent to bioaccumulation because fat is usually where stores of toxic chemicals are at their worst, iirc.

Grain fed beef is typically fattened up in feed lots which can be vectors for disease (easily googled).

Grass fed is typically exposed to fewer pesticides. Sources:

https://nutritiouslife.com/eat-empowered/grass-fed-beef-orga...

http://www.certifiedgrassfedmeats.com

I'm not a stickler for only eating grass fed beef. However, I have gone through periods where I was extremely ill and found that it was very worthwhile to only get meat labeled "grass fed." I was much more able to tolerate it and it didn't severely acidify my system the way meat sometimes can, which is consistent with the fact that grass fed beef is much higher in Omega 3 fats.

I'm not trying to lecture anyone, dictate how they should eat, etc. I was just making the observation that if the point of the article is to persuade, then they missed a potentially big detail in terms of arguing from a position of enlightened self interest rather than morality. It's a detail that's often overlooked by people trying to persuade others to "do the right thing, eat less meat!" and another reply to me cast a bit of light on possibly why it is so often overlooked.
> In the same way, that North africans refer to themselves as Arabs although genetically they are less than 50% Arab.

Not sure where you got this from, here in Morocco, calling a Berber an Arab is a pretty sure way to piss him/her off.
I have gotten the impression that Einstein learned the math that he needed to, when he needed to learn it, and that he had hoped to avoid learning the sort of math that Hilbert was already somewhat comfortable with.
