DICOM exists for two reasons:

One - As an industry, healthcare tends to employee and retain the bottom quintile of software talent. It's like the "bell curve" of development. For every unicorn out there hiring the best of the best, there's yet another healthcare IT firm making sure the other side of the curve has good insurance, neckties, a 9-5 and a $39,000/year salary.

Two - Because the healthcare industry never met a technical challenge it couldn't solve poorly and support in perpetuity through federal regulations.

DICOM is dumb. This is a commercial piece to push whatever the hell innolitics sells. Innolitics has a business model because federal bureaucracies guarantee it.

Whatever.
sounds really good. I am curious, what tech stack do you use?

I wrote about it here https://medium.com/@franz.enzenhofer/about-targeted-list-lan... and played around with the model since then a lot.

As long as a company does not have organic growth. Meaning Referral (existing customers bring in new customers) > Churn (losing customers) there just is no scenario where it will end well for the company.

Adding investor money for paid growth is at best a halfway decent accelerator, at worst noise that hides the real performance of a company.
Small claims and certainly general courts are often (and I think in this case) more about getting the attention of a big company than actually winning. Is google really going to send a representative and lawyer to fight you in either small claims or general over disabling your adwords account when any sane review would conclude that they are wrong? They will 99% just turn it back on. This isn't solving the larger systemic problem here but probably is a great way to get your account reenabled.
It seems the government was following this document at the start: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/...

The reason it seemed they were doing nothing are these passages:

ii. Minimise the potential impact of a pandemic on society and the economy by:

• Supporting the continuity of essential services, including the supply of medicines,
and protecting critical national infrastructure as far as possible.

• Supporting the continuation of everyday activities as far as practicable.

• Upholding the rule of law and the democratic process.

• Preparing to cope with the possibility of significant numbers of additional deaths.

• Promoting a return to normality and the restoration of disrupted services at the
earliest opportunity.

There's way more, but I've honestly not read it all. But there was a plan, drafted before this epidemic.

Public opinion was turning against the government, but it actually kept course for some time. Something I was honestly impressed with. What made it drop the plan was Neil Ferguson's study.

There are many reasons for criticising the plan. This article is pretty good. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/mar/29/uk-strategy...

What really gets me is that if the lockdown was the correct decision, we arrived there for the wrong reasons.

This paper had such an outsized impact that it should be held to a higher standard. And it's scary (but not really unexpected) that the government is making decisions of this magnitude based on such a shaky foundation.
I was thinking about this.

The easiest way would be to hire inspectors to go around and inspect places during business hours and close them down if they're not in compliance.

That or a federal jobs program of "safety enforcer" paid for by the fed and placed in every business of X size or whatever. The former seems more likely.

"Why We Sleep" by Matthew Walker summarizes quite a lot of research on sleep. It leaves little doubt - we currently know of no safe way to significantly cut down sleep.

I haven't seen the research presented in that book being refuted.

> What makes you think that the initial surge will stop?

Same as the first -- voluntary social distancing. I think you missed my point, which is that I don't believe the government is really in control, at least not in western democracies. I think people are choosing for themselves to isolate, and I think they will continue to adjust that decision based on their perceived risk.

I think there would be a surge at first because there is some pent up demand for things people feel like they need, or they really want to do and they don't perceive a strong risk. So these people would cause a surge, it would hit the news, and most people would then panic themselves right back indoors, then a month or so later we'd do it all again.

Someone released a study a few days ago suggesting that if we could actually achieve nearly universal compliance with mask wearing in public indoor spaces (I think they said 80%) then a slight improvement over our current masks (better than the homemade cloth or disposable surgical masks, not necessarily N95 level though), we could push R0 below 1.0 without really doing anything else different from normal everyday activities. I don't think we can expect that compliance rate, though.

Yes, the cost of customer acquisition is certainly part of the current mess. While probably not strictly a gross margin issue, in practice it in effect is since that is very much a direct cost associated with the transaction.

There are certainly a lot of these upside down companies spending $100 to obtain a customer so they can sell a product for $70 that costs them $60 to make.

Having personally worked with the DICOM standard, I'll say it's not the worst, but definitely not the best spec to work with.

The main issue I've found is the manufacturer's implementation. They range from okay to barely meeting the minimum standards.

One thing that always annoyed me was the time stamps. They're mandated by the standard, so there's always a timestamp, but it's often useless. For example, it seems some scanners don't get their time set, over the network or otherwise, _ever_, so you might have a bunch of scans performed a few years ago on scanner A with an accurate timestamp of say 2017, but in a new scan from last week that was taken by scanner B, which hasn't had its clock configured properly, it reports a date closer to the start of the unix epoch rather than 2020.

Of course some of this is out of the manufacturers control, but temporal data is critical to analyzing changes to patient over time. I think this is one area where the DICOM standard couldn't be a bit more strict with a lot of positive impact.
Are you saying the document quoted is not real? Sure, the scruples of the site may not be in alignment with yours, but if the data is valid...

Developers at unicorns: even in the best of times, do you feel more expendable than you've felt at other jobs? We always are amazed at the number of developers at companies like this. (the numbers I've seen are old, but I guess out of 22,000 employees, it was something like 5000 engineers?) While that allows you to build in a more robust way than a smaller company, it seems like there's no shortage of developers working on tooling, R&D projects, and at least partially on open source projects, roles that could presumably go away if a company had to focus strictly on the core product.
I've had the chance to have had a teacher who exposed us to the design of robust RST controllers and optimal control (Pontryagin, Lyapunov, Bellman, Hamilton, Jacobi), Evans' work. Getting into an ML shop and looking at what my colleagues who do DL were doing made me think: hmmm, this backpropagation-thingy looks really familiar.

There was, and still is, a comparatively scarcity of documentation on these as most of the content online only tackles PID when it comes to "control systems".

Fascinating stuff.
Meh, that's a completely arbitrary measure and flippant at best. He has no control over what his successors do, or their strategy. I, and many many others, prefer to judge him by how he handled the company when he actually had control over it.

We are in zero danger of dying out as a species due to a low birth rate. The Earth is massively overpopulated and the only ethical way to combat that is to incentivize everyone, equally, to not have children.
That would be why the US Justice department is looking at an antitrust suit, Anti-trust is the remedy that came about in 1890 when the Standard Oil trust seemed unstoppable.

That said, I see this sort of thing a bit differently.

If Google is all powerful and a monopoly and never in danger of being killed, why comply with an authoritarian foreign nation to remove comments that are amplifying an anti-government sentiment? Why should Google care if the government of China is feeling a bit insecure about their own population's loyalty?

I worked at Google during "China Debacle #1", where Google went to China as an uncensored search engine, left in the middle of China Debacle #2, when China infiltrated Google's infrastructure to use it to track dissidents, and watched from the outside (as many here did) for China Debacle #3, when Google tried to create a censored search engine for China.

Why does Google need China so badly, that they are willing to compromise their values (debacle #3 and this comment censoring behavior)?

I don't think you need the antitrust legislation. I think Google is slowly dying and as they die their ideals wash away. Clean user experience, gone, Useful free services with return only positive feelings for the brand, gone. Employee perks, fading away. Lofty slogans of not being evil, gone.

This compliance, sometimes forced by edict in the EU's antitrust case, sometimes forced by coercion, tells me that Google isn't powerful, it is weak. It has lost its way and may not survive if it is unable to find its way back to something good.
Yes, wtf, I miss the heck out of RSS.
I work for a company that offers 6 months maternity and paternity at full pay to all employees from day 1 of employment. This covers adoption too. Parents can take additional unpaid or statutory paid leave as desired.

As you might imagine it is a company that people want to work for, that retains staff and that has a good work life balance. In most roles asking to work compressed or reduced hours is a possibility.

Even though I missed out on this perk personally, it makes me happy to work at a place that treats employees so well, and doesn't hold people back just because they want to have a family.

Compared to other companies I've seen, far more women here return to the workplace after having children.
Part of the problem is precisely that no one knows how these restrictions might evolve in the future. There's no such thing as forward compatibility when it comes to Android API levels.

It's remarkable how not only the first but also #3, #5, #6 positions are some Ryzen 5 ?600? CPU. The 2600X is the only that is currently lower at #12. Also remarkable how utterly absent Intel is from this chart. The i3 9100F managed to break into #2 and then a Pentium Gold G5400 at #15 but both of these are sub-$75 parts while most AMD parts are significantly more expensive likely bringing more profit to AMD. Usually price per performance goes sharply down with performance, it doesn't scale linearly but remarkably a $405 processor from AMD is in the top 10, the 3900X. Power-performance wise also AMD is the killer, https://www.cpubenchmark.net/power_performance.html the new 15W TDP AMD 5/7 4xxxU CPUs are the first four while most Intel chips at the top of the chart are in 4.5-7W territory. If you look for ordinary socketed chips, you will find the Ryzen 3900, the Intel 9900T (which is a special 35W part), the 3950X and astonishingly the EPYC 7702 at 200W beating the Intel Core i3-1005G1 which is a 15W part on the latest Intel node at 10nm ... that's just embarassing.

I totally get and agree with you, but the notion of Windows not having an overbearing security policy makes me laugh. MacOS is frustrating in some ways, but at least when I do 'sudo __' it generally allows me to do whatever I want.

Meaningful comparisons require reasonably accurate data, and there is nothing like that to be found in any of these countries. Aside from the fact that testing has been minimal for a number of reasons, different areas have perverse incentives to either over or under count COVID fatalities.

In the US, any and every death of someone who had the virus, and many who did not, are still counted among the death tolls. The recent case of the guy who died from alcohol poisoning comes to mind, though I personally know of others who died from other causes, and were counted even though they hadnt been tested.

Conversely, there is good reason to be skeptical of China's accounting as well- both due to government interference and the simple fact that they were not able to reliably test the majority of cases.
Where are you deriving these stats for Asian Americans and do they split out south vs east Asian?
> we already have every kind of industry on earth

I don't know where you're going with "industry." I was talking about ecosystem technology to allow a self-sufficient colony.

We don't have that at all on Earth, other than Earth itself.

So no, we don't have an industry which can build self-contained ecosystems.

> These are not self-sufficient though

My example was to question what "justify the expenditure" meant.

If the justification is "prevent humanity from Earth-only calamities" then the same justification can be used to develop those technologies on Earth first, in order to

And don't say that Argentina wouldn't like to have a self-supporting Esperanza Base (which should be cheaper as only food and power need to be self-supporting, not air or water), instead o f subsidizing their colonization effort in Antarctica. That is, there are intermediate stages which are wanted here on Earth.

> you simply can't have any significant manufacturing / agriculture / medical facility / etc. on board - to be truly independent would require a footprint the size of multiple cities

Which was part of the point of my objection to this paper about worldships, at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23210515 .

> It seems very unlikely ..

It seems very unlikely that we would ever set up a colony which was sufficiently isolated from the Earth that it would be able to survive an Earth-only extinction event.

Unless it became a matter of religion, there will almost certainly be interconnections, resulting in a single cultural ecosystem. (Because we don't have an economic system which cares about long term species survival.)

Eg, there will only be a few facilities on Earth which produce the quantum neurons needed for the fusion reactors on Mars.

> if there was a plague then that is plenty of time for incubation and symptoms to show.

That's a supposition. The Super-AIDS pandemic of 2103 will have a incubation period of 15 months, with a morality of 95% before a viable phage therapy was developed.

Only the isolated hermitages on Earth survive intact, with the organizational structure to guide reconstruction.

It's not hard to come up with more scenarios - I've read a lot of SF. (Consider the apert schedule of the concents in "Anathem", though they were not ecologically isolated.)
We had no trouble choosing the month of our three boy's birthdays. Your mileage may vary of course.
It wouldn't be the first time this happens. Romania was in a defensive alliance with Austria-Hungary in 1914. A-H attacked Serbia and asked Romania to join. Romania said: ummm... it's a defensive alliance.

So far so good, nothing wrong with that.

But in 1916 Romania decided to attack A-H. Okay, I guess?

The dumb part? As former allies, Romania used to get guns and ammo from A-H before 1916. That became a problem post-1916, for obvious reasons :-D
Rooted users can freely alter or disable enforcement for any SELinux policy. None of this will affect them. (OTOH, many apps can't be installed or function on a rooted device due to SafetyNet and the like. And no, there is no safe bypass of SafetyNet since Google can potentially require users to run a remotely-attested "stock" firmware in order to pass the check.)
This 100%. I've read the book twice, coming back to certain chapters more than twice, because it's dense with information. It's scary really. The single most impactful thing you can do as a human for your life is to prioritize 8 hours of sleep per night, full stop.
that's an example of non-linearity. probably the car only applies throttle to regulate speed and not brakes.

home heating systems are similar in that the usually only add heat.

in both cases, the PID would be generating the proper output, but it doesn't have a means to drive the system consistent with its output. e.g. it can't turn on the brakes, or air conditioner.

In practice economists assign a value of zero to child rearing. Because simply economists hate reasoning about externalities.
A properly constructed experiment wouldn't alert the subjects sleep is being measured and instead simply prompt them for how much time they slept in a questionnaire taken after the tests, or better yet have them wear a tracking device prior to the study to measure their regular sleep pattern, and only select subjects for testing that have deviated from their regular sleep pattern.

My theory is that a sudden change in sleep habits is what causes the cognitive decline.
To be honest that dynamic was basically the issue the last time around as well. Pets.com selling pet food for less than the shipping cost, delivery startups like UrbanFetch and Kozmo with no minimums, etc.
