Years after I worked for the company I mentioned before (building an in-house VB6-based ERP system), I worked for another web applications development company who had a client I was "assigned to" to develop software for healthcare management and billing, etc.

It was all web-based - we even had a version for "mobile" (at the time which meant a ipaq personal assistant, running a version of Windows CE and a browser that made IE6 look sane).

The idea behind it was "patient-centricity"; the patient could manage, view, and "edit" their own healthcare records, and any physician on the system could have access to that patient's records (the patient would have to give approval to share with the provider).

It wasn't ever going to replace EPIC or any of the other large medical record systems, but the fact that a patient could control their own data was a significant part of the core marketing behind it - provided you could get other providers and support people on-board.

Things were going rather smoothly (but not very quickly) in the progress of the development of this app, until the client wanted to make the entire thing HIPAA compliant. At the time, this meant taking it off our in-house shared hosting environment, and get it on something else. What we found was, at the time the only option was to lease a full rack from Rackspace and use their services (and servers), as they were (supposedly) fully HIPAA compliant.

The client balked at the cost to implement such a system, and instead opted to roll their own. Then the client decided to hire their own developer (without telling us), and wanted us to backdate some HIPAA "compliancy documents" to say their system was fully compliant on a date when it wasn't. My employer thankfully decided not to go down that road, and instead to drop the client and contract (probably the best decision he ever made).
But we already have the idea of piercing the corporate veil though. I'm not sure needing to change the structure of limited liability matters as much as formalizing and unifying that concept.
I was a species of "mid-early adopter", probably. All should be much easier now. In any case I eventually stopped to use the older model because it was just a little cumbersome to move it around with the laptop all day.

It was a nice piece of hardware. Is a pity to hear that they are now tracking what users do with their computers. For me this is a no-way (It seems that I did the right thing dismissing the second model).
This blog post is almost entirely a re-hash of http://highscalability.com/blog/2016/1/11/a-beginners-guide-...

The primary difference is that this post tries to be more generic, whereas the original is specific to AWS.

The original, for what it is worth, is far more detailed than this one.
You can install Pihole on whatever device you want. The difficulty is having it be up 24/7 since it going down will break your access to the internet, so a separate device is usually simpler.
I think for this sort of discussion you need to look at per capita production in the linked chart.

Do you have the ability to read minds? Because you're doing some mind reading in that comment.

Many people find the flippant nature of his response disturbing. I'm not "anti-abortion" but I found the Northam situation squicky.

YMMV, and that's the beauty of living in a free and liberal society. Your comment would probably win hearts and minds if it was more about educating folks about the medical reality some parents are faced with instead of castigating and denigrating "the other side" (which doesn't exist, it's a spectrum).

It isn't. Because when they started, there wasn't any "outer" platform the speak of. The platform underlying SAP is essentially an way to have mainframe-like development environment (updates of almost anything without restart, declarative UI library, minimal overhead for inactive users...) on something that isn't a mainframe.
> If I could suffer unlimited liability beyond my initial investment for things Exxon does, why would I invest?

Because you expect to make more money than you expect to lose. The liability risk (or the cost of insuring against it) would just get priced into the stock price.

> What would happen to Exxon if everyone thought that way?

They would presumably consolidate even more than they already have, so that the total amount of corporate assets is greater, which reduces the probability that a liability could exceed them and cause the shareholders to lose more than they put in.

Limited liability benefits small corporations far more than larger ones, because the risk of incurring a liability that exceeds the total value of the corporation is higher when the total value of the corporation is smaller.
I'm not a Google fan by any means, but DFP is the #1 ad server in the world and an industry standard, and I definitely don't think they would use DFP data to populate GDN segments because it would be a privacy nightmare.

You have to consider DFP is a software tool, it would be like Slack selling your data so other SaaS can target you when you are talking about buying a new CMS.

> Now, if there ever was a life-critical physical phenomenon, it is lift production by an airliner wing. But we don't actually have a "causal" explanation for it, though we do have an accurate mathematical model and decades of experimental evidence

This is argument is complete nonsense. Navier Stokes has a rigorous derivation based on extremely high-fidelity assumptions, such as conservation of mass, momentum, and energy. We understand these assumptions, and we understand regimes in which using N-S would result in catastrophe (such as rarefied gases, relativistic velocities, etc.)

Neural networks require data. The Navier stokes does not need to be 'trained'. Deep networks have very little a-priori knowledge baked-in (from a baysian perspective there are priors such as translation invariance that are intrinsic). They are admittedly extremely useful, because they are high dimensional (and so are universal approximators) and can be trained efficiently.

Furthermore, you can develop an intuitive approach to many fluid flows. I can provide a much better estimate of the drag profile for a given wing geometry than an untrained person. No such analog is possible with deep nets, which as significantly more opaque in terms of dynamics and non-linear response.

The only way his comments make any sense is if you assume he isn't talking about physical models, like Navier stokes, and instead consider turbulence models, such as RANS or LES. These are parameterized models, and are used for turbulence modeling. They also have little physical intuition. However, this is not the same as saying we do not have high confidence in physical-based systems such as Navier stokes.

Fibrous things like fiberglass and carbon fiber get their strength from the length of the fibers distributing force across the assembly. Ground fiberglass is basically worthless after you account for supply compared to demand. It would be better to cut them up into strips/sheets and use them to build retaining walls or something (using them whole is not practical because they are big enough to make transport expensive). The inertness of fiberglass in the presence of most common things makes it an attractive building material for things that are expose to the weather but it is expensive when new and until now there has never been much supply of used fiberglass in any consistent form factors so it is rarely used and construction techniques are not very mature (read: common enough to be cost competitive).

Honestly we can probably just let old turbine blades pile up. If there's one thing the free market is good at it's finding creative uses for expensive materials that are waste products as far as their original use is concerned.
I think they understand it fine. As you say, the website is using Google's ad server. So it is sending detailed identifying info about each user to Google.

Just because that has become normal for "the online ad ecosystem" over the past few years doesn't mean that it should be acceptable or that we cannot try to stop it.

They certainly can. They're competing with dirt, because you can dig up dirt and use it as filler in construction. So either they need to have some favourable properties compared to dirt, or the "crushing/grinding" process has to be really cheap, or the alternatives for disposing of the blades have to be expensive.

If dirt was scarce, we'd find an economic way to recycle turbine blades. We should be happy to have so much dirt, not sad that we can't reuse our end-of-life turbine blades. The same goes for the other suggestion mentioned in the article, of using them to put roofs on homeless shelters - there are other materials which are cheaper and more suitable, and no homeless shelters are going unbuilt because evil energy companies won't donate their old blades.
The article talks about a startup that is crushing them for into pellets.

>Global Fiberglass Solutions, developed a method to break down blades and press them into pellets and fiber boards to be used for flooring and walls. The company started producing samples at a plant in Sweetwater, Texas, near the continent’s largest concentration of wind farms. It plans another operation in Iowa.

Basically. The construction of them means that you can estimate the difficulty of handling them by imagining you periodically had to peel the side off a few-story building, intact, and sequester it somewhere.

Still preferable to taking the side of a few-story building and turning it into a greenhouse gas (to torture this metaphor a bit).
We need a corporate death penalty: when a corporation has been convicted of murder out other acts, the corporation should be dissolved, the assets sold off, and the proceeds distributed to the victims families. As it stands now, the execs get their gold, the corporations get a slap in the wrist, and then it's business as usual.
Schrödingler’s Kernel: Day 3 of Our 2020 AGI Kernel Adventure
Having, gaining, and increasing investment builds wealth. My largest point is projecting a binary grouping like "have" and "have nots", which is typically used to delineate the poor and the not-poor is disingenuous. The poor (have-nots) are not even in the arena. A majority of people in the world today do not have and will not have any investments of any kind ever; those are the have-nots.

A more honest statement would be that the wealthiest investors would gain more power over less wealthy investors; however, that is already the case, the wealthiest non-institutional investors are free to create their own hedge funds, an extraordinary overhead - but one some take on, to gain a leg up on the little (rich) guy.

People talk about it all the time, like for instance the original article. The problem is that it gets a bit tiresome to counter the same nonsense again and again: Yes, everything we as humans do has an environmental impact. No, the impact is not even close to the impact of fossil fuels.
Nothing wrong to be exercise regularly without progression. I wouldn't be surprised if this was even better than going ham on the gym because of how little exercise the human body actually needs to be considered healthy.

Not saying there is nothing wrong with having lifting goals either. But there are definitely diminishing returns to your health in regards to the amount/intensity of your exercise routine for sure.

I've always seen Elm as being between a rock and a hard place socially. On the one hand, a lot of people with no FP experience dismiss it for being a "weird" FP language. On the other hand, a lot of people with FP experience dismiss it for not having some FP feature they really want (e.g. one that keeps coming up and just won't die is typeclasses).

Also there is a core Elm team consisting of something like half a dozen people, unless you mean a partner club of e.g. tech teams that use Elm.

I have an immense amount of respect for Evan Czaplicki for how he tries to thread the needle here and the huge amount of thought and craft he puts into the UI and UX of Elm to make it accessible. Unfortunately you can't please everyone (hell he doesn't even please me with all his decisions, the gall of him! ;)) and Elm has had its share of vocal naysayers. Elm may or may not die out, but the impact it's had on raising the bar for the UI/UX of dealing with a compiler has been IMO one of the most valuable advancements for statically typed languages in recent years.
You'd draw the system boundary to include the entropy increases in the environment.

But if you insist on drawing the boundary such that the entropy of the system decreases, you could probably argue it behaves similarly to a system with time reversed.

This is ultimately a FUD article, likely pushed by oil+gas advertisers and good old sensationalism.

And, oh look, there's already recycling uses planned for them.

Articles like this are for "newspaper scoring", where an issue is broken down into a set of bullet points that are pro and con. As long as the count/score of the bullet points are the same for each side, then the newspaper gets to declare itself fair and balanced.

No heed is taken to the actual impact or importance of the individual bullet points.

Unfortunately, the political consultants also know that overwhelmed voter minds also work this way.

You don't see this kind of approach in large scale construction project with layers of contractors and subcontractors covering dozens of disciplines. You don't see this in car industry where they can do design, engineering, testing, factory tooling in 3 years.

I think you do see it in construction and automotive assembly: the project is decomposed into small pieces and tackled by large numbers of specialists, who are individually regarded as interchangeable. Or when you say "this kind of approach" are you thinking of something else?
Just an example of why things don't go the way seem to feel they must:

I do things that are not for work, because I want to do them. I enjoy designing and implementing languages, I love writing compilers and interpreters. So, I don't care one bit if anyone ever sees them or uses them. Of those languages I've designed, the only language I consider minimally complete is one I designed for personal use on personal projects. I have been arguing with friends recently who want me to at least release it to the public, if only to post about it and its quirks on blogs.

I would be utterly shocked if anyone ever wanted to use anything I've built for fun/research, that's why I've never released any of it. Also because of the assumption you make being quite popular, that I somehow owe Open Source or something to help them do things that are interesting to them.

Additionally, telling a developer who is developing what they want for their own reasons to contribute to a project like LLVM or Rust is ridiculous. If these projects aren't what drew my interest why would I want to bend over backwards to change what I'm doing to try and fit it into some existing model.

TL;DR --> I don't program outside of my job for anyone but myself, and that's all that matters. If the ZZ devs want to make a provable dialect of C, that's what they should do.
I think this is missing the point of equal parental leave and how it creates equality - it's for the mum just as much as the dad, so she can now get a bit of her life back earlier.

I took 3 months leave (wish it was more) when my daughter was born, spread out through the year a month at a time. I loved each month for different reasons and I know each month helped me understand what my wife was dealing with better and the slog of looking after a baby as well as the fun bits, and it helped her understand me better too - she really missed our daughter when she did a month's work and saw how going to work every day wasn't such great a holiday from childcare as she thought!
No. The issue is the means used to target ads on this site are transmitted back to ad servers and used outside this context which is a nightmare scenario.

I challenged LeCun about explain-ability of neural nets a few years ago, he seemed to dismissed the need for it. As I recall his explanation was that the weights & configuration of the neural net is enough to give you an equation which is explanation enough. I'd link the post but it seems to have disappeared.

LeCun is also heavily biased against Bayes.

They just employed someone for a full time job because they needed to spend €x on someone to do Y work

Now they don't have to pay that money, which is fine, but they then need to find someone on a 14 month contract that will do it for the same salary as the person they just employed.

Then at the end of it they are left with paying an overlap from the contractor to someone new
Back in the 80s (maybe early 90s), there was a big anti-MSG movement/campaign in the US. I was too young to know/care what it was, but it was definitely centered around Asian cuisine. My family did not eat much Asian food at all when I was a kid, so it didn't really affect me. I just remember it being in the news, and other adults around me talking about it.

I've been feeling pain in my right elbow for a couple of years now. Doctor diagnosed as carpal tunnel syndrome.

You know the picture. Spent tons of time playing video game and works in an office since forever. I can't afford physical therapy, but working out + good posture makes the pain goes away "magically".

I say "magically" because I am not doing anything to target it, just go to the gym and literally do whatever for 30-40 minutes every other day.

Both of my parents worked full time and my mother went back to work very shortly after having me. I was plenty cared for without my parents sitting at home with me for weeks or months.

Pretty much all of my friends with kids the women went back to work within a few weeks and the men didn't take time off.

I can't see how sitting at home with a child that will have no memories of you sitting at home with them, that will sleep half the day and cry the other half, for 12 weeks (U.S. FMLA) or 14 months (apparently Germany) will make any significant difference in the child's adult life.
For one thing turbine blades have to deal with high temperatures.

They're not really the same thing at all.
Good question.

I don't know. This is where it gets into the territory that a lawyer would need to find the precedent and find scenarios where courts did indeed find that an indemnity agreement was invalid for some reason. That goes beyond my knowledge of finance/economics and basic working knowledge of the law. My gut tells me that you are right about your scenario.

IANAL, but if I were to hazard a guess, I'd say that the courts would be unimpressed with a corporate entity that has no assets and loads of indemnity agreements. (I'd also point out that a LLC being paid for anything by definition has assets, although it may just convert them all into expenses.) A court might decide that such an agreement is unenforceable. I'm guessing that blatantly bad faith arrangements like that would not stand up in court. But, again, this is a total guess.
It will do just as much good as the suggestion to hold individuals responsible for decisions they didn't make and in some cases have absolutely no control over (including the decision to invest in the company).
