I’m one of these people. Luckily as a man, I don’t mind taking a whiz in a public restroom, even if it’s disgusting, but id almost rather have an accident in my car than stop and take a #2 in a nasty gas station restroom. My bathroom at home is a sanctuary and I never take it for granted.
They may 10x their profit by serving elderly clients but that is assuming x more elderly clients would want to suddenly come.

But why? Are elderly clients underserved in that area? Are they going to ditch their original care provider and all come here?

I don't see a problem in that statement. The opposite would mean that you are born with ability and can't grow or improve it, which is absolutely false. The idea behind the statement is basically: people do not have to be naturally gifted to be good at math.

> I also don't think that criticism of a specific model of leveled courses should be used to dismiss all leveled courses. You talk about kids that are rushed ahead or that perform differently at different points in their math "career" - which could certainly be problematic if levels are rigid throughout the educational timeline and leave little choice to students.

But arguing for a gifted track IS rigid - it basically says "you must decide now if you're good at math, or not." That is deeply flawed. You can't add flexibility - you need algebra and geometry to do calculus. If you decide or become motivated too late (even if naturally gifted!), you have no recourse, as the "gifted track" starts before you can even know. The current system and system you advocate for could be removing huge numbers of potential STEM graduates from the mix.

> Yes sometimes it is implemented that way. But it is not impossible nor even particularly impractical to implement a more flexible levels system that would mitigate those concerns. There are schools that have done this well, California school system was not one of them. This proposal is throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

Not really - as is said in the framework, most foreign nations that outperform the US have a standard curriculum. So the problem isn't flexibility.

"The framework builds on the strategies used in a number of high-achieving jurisdictions (e.g., Estonia, Finland, Japan, and Korea) that pursue an integrated curriculum—connecting the domains of mathematics with one another as students collaborate in using data to solve real-world problems. These countries pursue a common curriculum in elementary and middle school, supporting more students in reaching higher level mathematics. The framework illustrates how this integrated approach with many different kinds of supports can be used to expand the number of students excelling in mathematics and heading for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers."
Neat idea but I'm not yet convinced this speaker masks any revelant bathroom sounds* and has no real added value over a water proof Bluetooth speaker (e.g. Fugoo). That's not to say the product is wrong/bad but the Kickstarter content just didn't convince me. (A video with actual demo from the outside would go a long way.)

I was also confused by the product wanting to be an all in one device for setting the "date night" mood, showing me the time, being a light source, etc. I think these are all distractions and should be cut from your plans. I imagine it would reduce your footprint and costs.

Still rooting for your success, thanks for trying to solve this problem!

* Elongated toilets are common in US and echo loudly. I can't imagine a speaker canceling out those sounds.
I don't think the _article_ is grasping at straws - it's Boeing who discovered this and it was reported in multiple news outlets at the time about it.

I don't see enough information in the text to help us out here. The say it is out of the tolerance band of presumably +/- 0.005". But they don't tell us how far out of tolerance it was. Was it, say 0.0055", or 0.060"? What was engineering purpose was driving that tolerance? I could see that a +/-0.005" tolerance is from the title block (common default on mechanical engineering drawings), and that this was a reference dimension and not a critical dimension. But yes, 0.005" on something 20 feet in diameter is pretty dang tight.

And for reference a sheet of bog-standard copy paper is right around 0.004".

Maybe to you, but officially you have 200 beds at 50% occupancy. If needed, nurses can be added by other means. For example, the army, FEMA, etc. will ship in nurses and just need to know if the bed is physically there and certified for use.
I'm not familiar with the case, but assuming what you've outlined above is accurate, I have no doubt a jury would convict. Negligence actually sounds like too nice of a word for that train wreck of events.
I understand a large margin on the device itself because that includes various software licenses and IP. Auxiliary parts that can't be used to rebuild a full device (as the mainboard is missing) shouldn't carry that markup as you've already paid for those licenses when you originally bought the device.

Yes. It's not a difficult concept. Children often get upset about rules that are enforced on them, and feel "worse off." Doesn't mean it's harm. Context matters. The world isn't binary.

Also, it's ok to just disagree, since it's clear we disagree on the definition of harm. No need to start constructing strawmen of my position.

One example is drug waste. Insulin for example is charged per vial to the patient but usually only a minimal fraction is actually used and the remainder is disposed of.
I don't think so, I believe open relays are virtually extinct. People rarely run MTAs those days, and default configurations are quite protective. And if someone still manages to mess it up, they're gonna get famous with all the RBLs in days if not hours.

Most of the spam I'm observing those days comes from hacked/broken websites (sometimes it's probably some stolen SMTP credentials, sometimes sent from the server directly). Legit domain name, SPF and even DKIM present, looks totally legit in this regard - only stopped by RBLs and content filtering.
>Patients in COVID have become downright mean.

Maybe, but nurses have also used "because covid" as an excuse to engage in some pretty awful behavior. Fathers have only very recently been allowed in the room during ultrasounds, for instance. NICUs only recently started allowing both parents to visit at the same time.

"Nurse" is a pretty broad title when popularly thrown about, given that it spans from LPN to DNP and med-surg/clinic to ICU.

The economic arguments for continued growth seem paperclip maximizey.

I think the most interesting part of this is the PaaS disaggregation. Heroku built an exceptionally good Postgres service. They could not have done that with multiple DBs. Even their redis is pretty meh.

A cop killing an innocent civilian at a nonviolent traffic stop can pretty much happen only because of malice or negligence. We use the word "accident", but it's never really an accident. If a nurse accidentally kills someone, it may really be an accident.

Furthermore, the nurse is in a profession where people die all the time due to reasons beyond the nurse's control, and surviving relatives are not always rational in who they blame. So nurses will be falsely accused much more often than police.

Depends on location. Most professions I know with that much effort and stress get paid a lot less than $100K, which is the median nurse pay in my area. Amazon pays a lot less.
This nurse was the decision maker in whether she bothered to check the label on the vial for what she was injecting to the patient, and / or bothering to scan it as required before leaving them to die in terror.

>Helper functions or macros are just as clean as the bitfield syntax.

They can be, if done right, but then I have to remember the names of all the helper functions and macros. :-) An IDE can auto-complete bitfield names.

>Still more work for people reading the code, though since there are a lot of hidden assumptions behind that deceptively simple "=" than with an explicit mask and shift.

Depends on the platform. IIRC on ARM a bitfield access is masking and shifting, only done by the compiler instead of me. With optimized code I often have to look at the disassembly anyway if I want to know what's really going on.
Is this a case where 100% of a research effort is publicly funded or more like 10%? If it's closer to 10%, why would a company take the risk of putting up 90% of the capital when they can just wait for their competitor's IP to become public? Maybe the duration of a patent should depend on how much public funding was received.

> For example, the army, FEMA, etc. will ship in nurses

Might ship in more nurses, and until they do, the beds that can't be staffed don't count towards capacity.

> 50% occupancy

Having the capacity to staff those beds is not the same as the beds being occupied. Beds are occupied by patients, not nurses.

Not sure why this is news (and the title is misleading: this is for Libpijul only, not Pijul nor Sanakirja).

Also, Libpijul is probably the last place you'd start if you wanted to contribute to Pijul. And since Pijul is GPL-2 and has no CLA, this means there's nothing hidden.

It causes a failure because it is not according to the design. Who knows what happens when you start doing things differently? You're not supposed to add or remove wings and the tolerances should be as described. You don't need to understand the math involved to understand that when an engineer tells you something is important, you should probably listen.

So by definition their customers won’t themselves have paying customers yet (so are at risk of running out of funds), and as soon they launch their website they don’t need the product anymore. Not entirely sure that’s a good market to be in. ;)

I see two possible options:

1. Either he has one (or more) good and constructive idea on how to fix the problems faced by his former employer. In which case, please share those ideas and justify them as this is way more interesting than an empty and pointless "lol they have no idea".

2. Or he has no idea how to fix it. Which is perfectly OK (I am in that situation !). But then making fun of the people in charge of trying to do what he can't - and won't - do is probably something he should refrain from doing altogether.

Leaving an employer because you don't see a future in a company is perfectly OK. Disagreeing with the vision / direction set by management is 100% normal as well. Publicly making fun of people who are in charge of steering a ship you have been a part of for only 6 month isn't. Especially when not associated with any actionable insight.

Now we feel completely disconnected and detached from each other, hiding behind emojis and smiley faces.

It's a sad SAD world we are currently living in and the majority of people I personally know are looking for an escape plan to give up technology as a whole, (well as much as possible) so we can retain some form of attachment to our previous way of life that felt more humane.
