I've got a Samsung tablet with Linux on Dex. It's Ubuntu 16.04 with Unity in a LXC container running on the Android Linux kernel.

I use a mouse most of the time but when I have to press buttons on dialog boxes it's easier to raise my hand from the keyboard and push the button. Same for touching a window a raise or above the others.

The size of the button or the exposed size of the window make the difference. There must be plenty of space or mistouches kill the experience. Resizing windows is something I do only with the mouse.

A hybrid approach, mouse/touchpad and touchscreen is the best IMHO. If my next laptop has a touchscreen option I'll buy it.

Don't fusion reactors have problems with vessel degradation from fast neutrons turning the reactors themselves into radioactive waste?

LFTR is what fusion should have been, and should have gotten equivalent funding. Plentiful fuel (thorium), can "burn" current nuclear waste as fuel, meltdown safe, etc etc etc. And they can scale down to pretty small sizes, per another commenter's "construction" vs "factory production" comment.

The only interesting fusion idea I've seen is antimatter catalyze fusion rockets for space travel.

I use Brave as my daily driver, but this trickled down into Brave as well this morning. I was confused for a minute what I had done with a subdomain on one of my sites, and then got very frustrated when I realized the Chromium team had put this back in place. A few #omnibox... tweaks later and I have it back, but it is certainly annoying.
The Omega Tau podcast had some very interesting discussions about various improvements needed for fusions reactors to hit parity in their Wendelstein 7x episode. Some discussions I think come out all the more because the 7x was targeted to plasma research so many practical aspects are discussed outside the normal fusion discussion that hits regular science media.

Toshiba calls it an "innovative connector design" referring explicitly to the connector itself. You don't have to be a "reductionist" to see that it's not really that innovative. MicroSD cards have been using the hinged connector for years [0]. Now the fact that they connect this type of card instead of the other type of card is indeed new.

I appreciate them improving on the current situation and I love that I'll get SSD performance with SD convenience but it doesn't have to be innovative for me to do that.

It's because there is a wide distance between these two positions:

(a) People who publicly support white supremacy should be imprisoned by the government.

(b) Businesses should not make money by hosting or providing services to people who publicly support white supremacy.

It's very easy to think that (b) is true, but (a) is false; this is a popular position among free speech advocates who know the law.
As an aside, I've recently been playing with a CZUR (https://www.czur.com/) ET16 book scanner and I'm reasonably impressed. It is not as nice as a high quality book scanner, but it has the advantage of being cheap and actually obtainable. And it produces decent scans.

The OCR is not too bad, but one of the things I'm going to do once I pop a few other projects off the stack is to see about using tesseract (and possibly custom training for it) on the generated raw TIFF files.
You mean NextCloud.
If I understand it correctly, the two ways that incumbents are able to kill these efforts are through lower costs and through infrastructure restrictions. Emitting radio waves is both cheaper and lower-infrastructure than laying fiber. The question in my mind is whether the quality holds up.

One thing I've been curious about is whether insurance companies are useful as negotiators with healthcare providers.

At the end of the day, they are for profit enterprises. The cynic will naturally state that they make money only by denying claims while taking people's money. But were I in charge of such an enterprise, only doing that would leave a lot of money on the table since there are still lots of claims that an insurer is still paying out and there is a strong economic incentive for insurers to bargain aggressively with healthcare providers to get access to the pool of healthcare customers they represent.

With this in mind, does anyone familiar with the industry know the impact insurers have on bringing down healthcare costs by putting the squeeze on healthcare providers?
> buying out competitors, collusion, threats of violence.

You can't buy a competitor if he don't want to be sold. Neither can you threat somebody with violence if the government does its job. I don't even comprehend how the absence of interventionism presume allowance of such violent measures. Don't confuse violence with "non-competitive practices". The latter are seldom harmful, or at the very least much less harmful than those leveraged by the allowance of interventions.
I can definitely see the perks of the form factor here, and totally see SSD cooling hardware as being the next big thing, and it sounds like they're prepared for that here.

But I mourn how fast the interface format is changing now, because I don't have the hardware to support all of these formats. I've got a handy USB to SATA adapter that did the job for, I don't know, a decade and a half, and now there's eight different types of SSD sockets out there.

I love this. When I was young I saw a hack for an Amstrad which added light pen support. If I recall it effectively synced with the scans on the crt which tells you your coordinates.

Which is really stupid because you have to download the app to actually read any of the reviews. Google, at least, displays the reviews right in the listing.
Also what does "high vegetable intake" or "Plant-based diet" mean? These can mean wildly different things to different people.

For example, how many people over 100 are lifelong vegetarians? Vegans? I bet the number is extremely small (or zero in the case of vegans, a term coined in 1944), but that's what many people think of when one says "plant-based diet".
Not in a mutual insurance system (obviously there is none large enough to do that kind of research yet).

The problem is that it builds and establishes a habit that we will _accidentally_ engage in when we are tired, distracted, etc. This is where accidents happen, and why it is important to never consider yourself above the fray.

It’s not that anyone is always careless, it’s that everyone eventually has an off day, and in those off days our careful habits become careless ones.

You probably don't want it in ld preload globally because it would also clobber the page cache in processes that do benefit from it.

And if you only do it in a container you can also limit the page cache size of the container to avoid impacting the other workloads.
You are right that misaligned incentives is the #1 problem in healthcare. Health and wellness need to be something that is paid for differently. I think there is no reason that this can't be more like some kind of government funded healthcare.

We also need move healthcare insurance away from employment. This is a relic of WWII labor shortages and not something we see for life/house/fire/etc kinds of insurance. When these companies have to compete on an open market, we'll have better competition and prices. Additionally, we can start charging people more for poor choices. Life insurance charges more for smokers and health insurance should too. Again, I'm talking about choices not pre-existing conditions. We will still need that protection and I admit that some conditions are the result of systemic bad choices. It could be that we can find a reasonable measure (HA1C?) for tracking poor nutrition and lifestyle to price that in as well.

Maybe you could add an IR LED that could be observed by the webcam, but not in the visible spectrum. I’m not sure if the MacBook webcam includes an IR filter or not. It wouldn't help the precision, but might make the camera less susceptible to changes in ambient light.
Yes, I think it's frustrating that this is not widely adopted. The upsides are really obvious and the only downside (I guess?) is that it feels a bit awkward to do it before society has gotten used to it.

Another thing with obvious benefits I wish we would adopt from east Asia is wearing a face mask when having a cold to prevent infection those around you.
> The point of health insurance is that nobody should worry about the costs of regular maintenance and emergency service to their meatbag.

(emphasis mine)

Strongly disagree. What you refer to is a health benefits plan. Insurance should cover only unlikely events, not routine events. Just like your car insurance doesn't pay for new tyres or burnt bulbs.

As someone who does my best to stay healthy, I don't think my lifetime health bill will come to anything close to what I pay for insurance. But I want the insurance for the random stuff I can't control.

Yes, but I observe on the net what seems to be an aversion to pay all patents even if it only cost a few cents.
The price per unit of the concerned patent is never talked about and this irrational aversion is an issue.
Websites displaying patent content should display price too.
I don't know if patents are generally overpriced but patent owner have an incentive to maximize their benefits which means they probably want to maximize the number of users of the patents by making it cheap.
Have they though? How many of their users understand what "www" or "https" mean? For those that have a vague idea, how many ever look?

I don't like the change either, for a variety of reasons, but I don't think I'm their average user either. For the average user, seeing the domain and nothing else likely improves security.
For almost all non-emergency care you can get a good cost estimate up front though. Even for much "emergency" care it wouldn't be hard to provide an estimate and then stick withing a certain % of that. Stuff like stitches, pulling fish hooks out of people and all sorts of other "routine" things that are uncommon individually but are common from the perspective of the emergency room can also be estimated accurately. Chronic illnesses and long term care are what's really expensive.
This reminds me of how Windows frustratingly hides file extensions by default.
This sounds low-upside/high-downside to me, but it's the sort of thing with simple arguments-for (easier for clueless users! Cleaner!), and nuanced arguments-against (eliding rarely-useful details in special cases causes ambiguity, and can lead to confusion is some cases, particularly for clueless users).
Similarly, I try to bake the documentation directly into the code. Eg (from a shell):

OPTION(*line=='[',"[EXPR]","the result of evaluating EXPR as a math expression (see -?m)")
{ ... }
qsh -?s | grep -F '$['
'$[EXPR]': the result of evaluating EXPR as a math expression (see -?m)

So OPTION does triple duty as 'comments', documentation, and the actual test for what kind of substitution is being parsed. This tends to be at the mercy of code structure though.
I'm wondering how the particular address bar change helps alleviate this though. As I've seen it implemented, the only subdomain they'll "elide" is www, so if it is google-secure-payments.google.via.net it will still show as such in the address bar, not as via.net. So I don't understand their reasoning in how this will help from a security standpoint.
I dunno.. I would ask your advisor for the summary short cut. Literature surveys are kind of a waste of time. You really want to work in a space that has no literature yet! The problem with reading papers is you end up wasting time reading papers!

TL;DR -> Please give Syncthing a try, it does just what it says on the tin and with no fuss once setup.

In the beginning, there was the 3.5" floppy disk, trudged along in my backpack in its little box with the 4 blank ones (which only ever got used by the slackers who forgot their own), used for little notes on the single README.txt featuring a .LOG at the top so each time I opened it, Notepad would insert the time/date.

Then along came the 1GB Kingston DataTraveller flash drive, what an amazing device! It held not only that increasingly read-only README.txt file, but also a portable knock-off of Onenote 2003 which name I forget (Agilix? Wikidpad? I no longer remember)

Then in 2012, Dropbox rolled into my life and I was in hog heaven, getting up to 5G from various referrals before moving in 2013 to Skydrive (now Onedrive) because a recent HTC purchase included 25GB of free storage space in addition to the already commodious 7GB(!) of free sync space. Clearly I want to be offline first, so I'll keep syncing the briefcase on the flashdrive (now a 4GB SanDisk) and carry that last floppy disk...after all if I still have an IBM USB floppy drive, might as well carry the disk right?

Fast forward several years. The 1GB and 4GB flash drive are keeping each other company in the retirement home of the electronics drawer, ready at a moment's notice to hand me a zipped up copy of Sim City 3000 or Timone and Pumba's Jungle Arcade or other such digital hoarder file from old CDs I dare not read any more but still want their contents.

In my pocket is a whopping 32GB Samsung stainless steel drive, and in my bag where the floppy disk used to live in honor is now a SIXTY-FREAKING-FOUR GB SanDisk extreme pro flash drive featuring Hiran's boot CD, DBAN, Ghost, Kali Linux, Peppermint OS, and more at the touch of a fingertip.

But the files? The briefcase has been synced oh, 4 months ago now? These days I don't plug it in as much, the old habit of plugging it in to work, home devices as soon as I log in long gone. Why do that when I can use Syncthing, an amazing tool that syncs the files with any and all devices however you want to slice n dice em. All you gotta do is introduce them with a handshake and boom, files are synced all over the wire, automatically and without being uploaded to Google's, Microsoft's, or Apple's cloud servers for heuristic analysis and advertising targeting.

I have arrived at file portability nirvana, and it is with Syncthing.

Not the same as a wiki or a tech spec or whatever but detailed, searchable pull requests go a long way towards good documentation. And it's something any dev can match up with code with git blame. Sometimes pull requests are vague because there's a lot of discussion happening in a different channel. That's fine -- just make sure the discussion is happening in a form you can easily link to, like a chat message or mailing list thread or meeting notes or whatever.
I feel like I'm at a dealership, lol

No, my repair costs + price of my current car ain't anywhere near what it'd cost to buy a newer car, at least not yet (if it gets to that point where it really is cheaper to buy a newer car than to fix my current one, then fine, but so far that hasn't been the case). This kind of assumption also hinges on the idea that newer cars don't break down as often (which may be true statistically, but is nowhere near guaranteed).

At best, one could argue that I'd save a lot in gas due to efficiency gains and/or electric drivetrains. That's probably true in the case of electrics, which is why I'm saving up to that effect, but those are - unfortunately - pretty expensive, especially for my needs (I routinely haul enough stuff to justify at least an SUV, if not an outright truck). In any other case, it'd take a long time to get to break-even.
macOS supports touch input. I used it with a Dell touchscreen monitor back in around 2012 I think. Windows* isn't really "designed for" touch either; it's tacked on. Most proper desktop apps (on any OS) are a pain to use with touch for a more than a few minutes at a time.

* Not counting the "Metro" monstrosity that briefly reared its head during Windows 8; I'm not sure if it's still around.

I think the biggest complicating factor is that everything you just said is true, but health insurance is also still sometimes insurance, as well as redistribution. So it's doing three things at once:

- Paying for routine care for people who could otherwise afford it.

- Paying for unexpected and unaffordable care, like chemotherapy.

- Paying for routine care for people who can't afford it.

Note that the third category doesn't refer only to poor people. Routine childbirth costs thousands of dollars. Any reforms targeted at the first category of spending, which hurt people in the second and third categories, are politically unacceptable. Add to that another complication:

- Unexpected/catastrophic medical expenses and routine care are closely related, especially in the long tail of expensive patients.

For example, the number of emergency room visits a patient makes (especially very expensive patients who make a lot of visits) is lower if the patient is making regular doctor's appointments and following their doctor's orders. But when regular care and monitoring come out of the patient's pocket, and emergency room visits don't, the incentives are horrible.

So these are extremely difficult political and business issues that health insurance has, which e.g. auto insurance doesn't. Most of the solutions to one of these problems, will have negative side effects for the others.
