Our customers didn't use the web interface at all; we had an email address (like help@whatever) that went into RT via qmail. The customer service reps (we had about 5 at the time) used the RT web interface. Once a CS rep took a ticket, all of the back and forth messaging (email) was automatically routed to them via a tag in the subject line. You could also add people to a ticket, reassign a ticket to someone else, close a ticket, etc.

It was pretty easy to install - a bunch of Perl scripts that used a MySQL database. I made 1 hack to it to set cache headers so it didn't always hit the DB on the back button, but other than that, we never really had to mess with it for many years.
I had the same thought and then read the article. Turns out this is about telling other people in a shared space - such as a work from home situation - that you are in a meeting.

Which would not work for me as I generally keep the camera off to save bandwidth and the last remaining shreds of my sanity.
this person seems to be "ABC THINGS I SAY THEY ARE SAYING" is exactly not-constructive .. do you understand that in a debate, you can always start by restating the opposite party's position in negative and extreme terms? It gets no points.

Why didn't Africa start it a century before? Otherwise it sounds like "industrial revolution" was like a deity that chose to descend onto Brits.
Wouldn't the handoff suffer more at the 11th compared to the 8th hour. I wonder if they take employee constant sleep deprivation transferring into patient experiences vs legal coverage when making these decisions.
No, Americans love a good war. If they want one and high approval ratings for their elected officials, it just needs a catalyst of some sort. Spanish American War (USS Maine), WW2 (Pearl Harbor), Vietnam War (Gulf of Tonkin), Afghanistan War (9/11), Iraq War (WMDs). Catalyst can be real or imagined. It seems there is a lot of well-deserved mistrust in China by the West, so a war with China wouldn't be surprising even if only by proxy (Cold War).
Given that we have a pretty good example of such an invasion in living memory I'd say it is doable, and China would be in a pretty good position to attempt this compared to that other example where the attacking force had to go against a heavily fortified position.
It's truly and deeply frustrating to me how many sites and services push "Google Authenticator" branding instead of specifying that it's TOTP or that literally any good 2FA app will work. It's almost to that "Google" = "search" level, but for a more niche aspect.
What annoys me most about Discourse are the following things:

No JS no joy. You see a completely white page, because none of it works without JS, not even an indication can be seen, that JS is required and it is waaay off of anything having a non JS fallback.

The above also means, that any knowledge in there will not be found via search engines. I have had it happen, that there was a forum of some community, and I did not even know it existed, even though I searched loads of stuff about the project. It simply never appeared in any search result ever. It is not discoverable.

Aside from not being discoverable, I find that any traditional forum software works better than discourse. For example I cannot properly see when exactly a reply was written, because it abstacts from a simple timestamp and shows only a month and year for example.
I wrote a longer response to another comment with examples of some of the experiments and learnings. But, yes, I think there are effective alternatives, but I think it starts with being really clear on what your success measures are. Do you want to maximize patient outcomes? Do you want providers to feel engaged (or, perhaps, actually engage) with data? Do you want to minimize provider burnout? I was always surprised by how few clinical and tech leaders could actually articulate what the goals were-- it'd often just be "we need providers to have more data!", which I suspect isn't actually what your goal is.

The tldr was that telling providers directly what you want, generally in an emailed newsfeed-style format was the most effective at improving actual outcomes. No slicing and dicing. No graphs. No comparisons. Just "hey, look at these 6 uncontrolled hypertensive patients, and follow-up with any that need follow-up."

Also, to caveat: I'm talking about how to engage the worker-bee providers. Not clinical leadership. Not the quality team. Not the data science/analyst team. Providers who are super busy with patient care, but also expected to manage patients between visits. Basically every experiment we ran favored the most direct, no frills, least effort approach to look at data. Which, coincidentally, was the exact opposite of what the engineering teams wanted to build :-/
Because it is the right thing to do. You don't need more of a reason than that.

The VPN is partial - it only handles an IP range. I use a commercial vpn provider for full tunnel, and it works well for access (Mullvad).
I see other comments in a similar vein, but as a (danish) defense contractor I can only contemplate how the military-industrial innovation engine has had little to feed on in the last 20 years due to fighting such an asymmetric threat.
Whether we in the HN community like it or not, US defense R&D has boosted not only US prosperity but Western for decades prior.
Compared to core investments in networking, computing, command and control, nuclear, space etc. - the venture-boosted “tech” industry has little to show as a viable alternative to hardcore defense invention.
Even as a Dane I really hope the US will do one of its usual pivots and show how to pull out of a dry spot!
This is the norm on Android, and means you have to have huge scale before it's worth releasing a paid or subscription app on Android, which might be viable at much smaller scale on iOS. It's part of why Android's ecosystem has so much prominent adware. Common wisdom (backed up by data) in the industry is that, generally speaking, your "conversion rate" for paid or subscription apps on Android will be a tiny sliver of what it is on iOS, unless your app is very unusual.

There are a bunch of factors that probably cause this, but they're all mixed up and intertwined so it's hard to point at one and go "that's it, that's the reason". Selection bias of the user base (think: socio-economic status, and maybe even average technical know-how or comfort with software); iOS users use their devices way more than Android users, for all purposes (but, is that because of the previous thing? Maybe); it could have something to do with the ecosystems the two app stores have cultivated, causing different levels of trust among the two user bases when it comes time to spend money; it could have something to do with the quality of the experience of using the respective operating systems themselves.

Probably all of those contribute some amount. It's hard to say, though.
In addition, most real estate is developed by developers who raise (other people's) money to purchase the property and redevelop it. These funds come from several places, but some of ultimate sources of such funds are... public pension funds (and possibly university endowments), who place their money with real estate lending groups.

I'm not saying that ours is a good system, nor am I saying that it is well-executed. But an honest discussion of renting should include the fact that some of the "felt squeeze" of rent ultimately reaches back to pension funds that want to disburse regular payments to pensioners. (Regular payments come from having a certain percentage return on the money in the fund. The percentage return comes, in part, from investing in real estate redevelopment deals, which increase in value when the value/profit from a property is increased. Value/profit are increased via more units and higher rents.)

This being said, the medium author does make some good points after accounting for the performative open letter tone, like about AirBnb's suing-cities-as-a-service as a business model, and the effect of Airbnb on local markets.
We did very well out of plundering colonies, yes, to our shame. I don't think it has any relevance to our economy now though. Compare us to Germany, Austria and Sweden. They never had significant empires. Do you think we would be massively poorer now compared to those countries if we hadn't had the Empire? Is the only reason we can compete with them now the fact that until the 1950s we had India?

Germany put the lie to imperial supremacy in 1940 when they comprehensively but-kicked France and Britain. They proved that industrialisation is what mattered and by then imperial mercantilism was a distraction. We were only saved by the English channel, and yes thanks to India. The fact we had India undoubtedly saved us, but in a last ditch final card up our sleeve that kept us in the game kind of way. Not in a trump card that meant Germany never had a chance from the start kind of way.

> if she spent 10X less time but $2K/year on the game,

Does that matter? Is it a meaningful option?

If she made that trade, she'd have free time, and there are a milion more addicting options (plenty of which are free!), so the steady state would likely be the same time spent on similar whatever, plus the $2K/year. Or, if she finds a better hobby (yay), no need to pay $2K/yr!
I'm afraid that when dealing with nondeterminism, you *do* need to be perfect. If even one call is nondeterministic, you've corrupted your entire replay.

This is a common challenge with e.g. RTS games, and it means we have to very carefully discover and avoid nondeterministic functions.

For example, did you know that C#'s string's hash code calculation is nondeterministic across runs? The same can be said for any floating point calculations, iterating Rust's/Go's default hash maps, etc.

Also, IME most interactions with GUI do have side effects, GUI apps tend to be very stateful.
I agree with most of that. To me the most terrifying thing is the intense uninhibited popularity of articles describing some of China's activities as genocide. This to me is the type of ultimate 'rationale' that will be used to motivate hundreds of millions of Americans to work hard to attempt to murder hundreds of millions of Chinese. And visa versa, American wartime activities will be used to motivate the Chinese to murder us.

But I believe if the strategic advantages the US enjoys, such as shipping lanes and the relationship with Taiwan manufacturing, are disrupted, then the US dollar could lose more than half of it's value and therefore drastically reduce the wealth of more than a billion people. This is the real thing that will motivate WWIII, with all of the propaganda about what monsters the other side is used to dehumanize and make the mass killing seem moral.
Climate migration is already here, it's just unevenly distributed.

More pointedly: the capacity of our society to graciously absorb climate refugees of every sort is very limited. NIMBYism is a very poor predicate for accepting large numbers of displaced and relatively poor migrants.

C.f. attitudes to Dust Bowl farmers for one precedent.

A friend pointed me to Chico (CA) as an interesting test case. The rapid shift from gracious "Christian" charity to increasingly right-wing hostility, in the face of large intake of people displaced by wildfires (or fear thereof), is a canary.

It is a good time (now) to contemplate how this is going to amplify Fox-fueled xenophobia, tribalism, dehumanization of political opponents, and increasingly open organized domestic terror and violence in de facto Brown Shirts.

The Water Knife is a mediocre novel, but a relevant sketch of how bad things might in theory get, wrt water in the American west should aridification accellerate. As it may well.

If we start with the premise that the cause of obesity is overeating then we have to ask the question why is a significant portion of the population suddenly overeating? Convenience foods are older than the "obesity epidemic" and every year there's more and more obese people than the year before.

Those are some ties. It was less than 100 years ago that genocide was Russian policy. The Holodomor murdered 3.3-7.5 million Ukrainians.

Not the OP, but in my experience, when clinicians ask for more data, they're actually asking for more lineage or provenance metadata.

We boiled it down for our teams like this:

Administrators are top-down: they want a high-level view and to be able to drill down from there.

Individual physicians are bottom-up: they want "their" data about "their" patients, and maybe, sometimes, to compare to the peers they personally trust.

As with any professional group, there's some minority percentage that treats their work like a craft and knows how to use data to improve their practices; but the majority want qualitative data and value interpersonal relationships. Giving a dashboard to the latter group at all is wasting time and effort of all parties.

If your dashboard can't attribute all of its data and all of the patients referenced to match the physician's definition of "theirs," you've lost. That's the "more data" and "drill down" physicians care about.

If your dashboard isn't timely and clinical -- which generally means presented in a clinical voice, at the point of care, or otherwise when they have an opportunity to make the change you want them to make -- it's not going to be actionable. That means surfacing some alternative action right before they see a patient which might benefit from that, which is not when they're on their computer. They might be one of those doctors that never is on their computer until the very end of the day. Looking at your dashboard at 11pm about the patients from earlier today (or more likely, earlier this past quarter of the year) is not helpful.

Looking at your dashboard is non-clinical work, and doctors want to do clinical work. If you're going to make them go do a new and non-clinical thing, it has to reduce some other non-clinical thing in a way that's meaningful to them. Otherwise, they're just as likely to do an end-run around your application entirely, like the doctors who only use index cards to write notes or who fail to enter their passwords every morning and lock themselves out, so they don't have to use the EMR.

To be fair, relational algebra is hard.

That being said: going back to 1970 to read the original "A Relational Model of Data for Large Shared Data Banks" by Codd (the paper which started the relational-database + normalization model) is incredibly useful.

But yeah, all of this debate about "how data should be modeled" was the same in 1970 as it is today.

-----

SQL doesn't quite fit 100% into the relational model, but its certainly inspired by Codd's relational model and designed to work with the principles from that paper.

And strangely enough, legions of authors and teachers and courses do a worse job at explaining relational databases than Codd's original 11 page paper.

You'd have to eliminate all media to eliminate parasocial relationships, not sure what that has to so with porn. The most intense parasocial relationships are probably with politicians and celebrities, not porn stars.

That second link discusses correlations and calls for further study which you've translated to "porn causes Millennial's problems" in your summary, which is not a reasonable takeaway.

People with healthy relationships and healthy bodies are almost certainly going to have less time for porn, for one thing. It's hard to put in porn viewing hours if you are hanging out with platonic friends or going for a walk with your crush.
Is this an outcome of climate change, or a result of a century of policies that dammed tributaries and diverted water to agriculture?
I spent a bit more than $100 on in-app purchases this week, simply because the apps I wanted to use were pretty limited out of the box. They are “free” unless you want the full experience. I don’t like that it is SaaS’d and gamified. Heck, I almost uninstalled Tetris when I found out they wanted a subscription to permanently remove ads, which I’ll never do for such a simple game. But my point is that it’s normal these days to spend $15-$30 per app, which isn’t necessarily unreasonable, it’s just done after download. The industry has essentially shifted to an unlimited free trial model. Though, the devil is in the details and it’s more devious than that.

As far as I'm aware, the biggest innovation out of China in the past 300 years has been the face-kini.

Seriously though, has this country produced any new invention? I would expect a country with 1.5 billion would come up with something novel. I can think of nothing unique, only modification of existing inventions.

The GoM gets pretty warm (I live on the water just off the GoM proper (Boca Ciega Bay)). Late summer temps in the upper 80s or low 90s are common. Our pool used to heat to 95 before the shade palms grew up.

I Don think I can recall the surface temp being less than 80 often, based on the data from my depth sonar on the boat at random times during the ‘winter’.

A couple of years ago, when I was playing Pokemon Go daily, I showed up to a raid with my son. I started chatting with some of the other people there and one guy mentioned that his monthly budget for the game was $100. Another guy chimed in to concur. It was kind of eye opening. I had been wondering how the game could be free, and it was at that moment that I realized that the game was mostly paid for by hard core players who were spending to level up faster and get rarer Pokemon (through buying incubators for eggs and such).

Pokemon Go doesn't really have a gambling aspect to it though, so I can't fault it in that area, nor am I really sure their model is a problem - since the people spending the money are choosing to do so for their own entertainment. It does feel a bit odd though, and ultimately it did hurt the experience of the game (since you do better if you pay more).
Nope.

There's nothing to be happy about when a hurricane is bearing down on you, and it's worse when you're caught on the east side of the storm with heavy rains because the winds blow counter clockwise, meaning that rivers and streams and lakes that open or drain into the Gulf of Mexico will pile up and keep getting higher as long as the story is over the area. Southeast Louisiana can take 20 inches of rain over a few days, but not when there's no place for the water to go.

> So what’s the alternative?

To which?

I think we should encourage/require government spending on things that are actually useful (and I acknowledge that there is wide-ranging disagreement on this criterion) and fund such spending adequately.

At the same time we need to have reasonable accountability for governments doing stupid things with money, notice when it's happening, and make it stop, redirecting those funds to something productive. Whether that happens via lower government revenues or reallocated government spending depends on whether there is something productive the government can spend the money on.

The things that you list, and many you don't (quality schools, both physical plant and teacher quality, libraries, parks, clean water, free school lunches, free preventative medical care, etc, etc ) generally pass the "is productive" smell test until proven otherwise; the burden of proof there should be on critics to prove that the investment is not being done in a useful way. That said, once that burden of proof is met, action needs to take place to remedy that.

> In my opinion the whole “throwing money at the problem is not a solution” excuse

You're putting words in my mouth here. For a lot of these things, throwing money at them is a _necessary_ but not _sufficient_ condition for having a solution. If you don't fund your schools adequately they will be bad, but if you just throw money at them and it gets misused in ways that don't advance learning they will also be bad. The whole "there's a whole warehouse of unused computers in that school district" thing is not _common_, but it's also not unknown when it happens it's really bad and needs to be fixed. Both in terms of the immediate problem and the bad incentives that led to it.

So just saying "allocate money to this" is not the end of the road. You have to then make sure the money gets used sanely.
