Same story from my partner who is a PA. The private practice she worked for for years got acquired by a big name system and over the next 2 years they “optimized” a job she loved so far that she had to leave.

By the end she was seeing twice as many patients a day as before with no time to do admin stuff at work even after skipping her lunch break so she also had to do more work when she got home. The reward for doing double the work as before? A 10% pay increase barely above inflation. Meanwhile a few coworkers left and no new ones were hired so the workload just kept increasing.

It puts providers in such a bad position because the only way to push back is to drop the level of care, which has real human consequences.

Semi-troll, semi-serious question.

What keeps people from getting blurbs from people with common names that also belong to famous authors--such as Stephen King? I can't imagine it's illegal to get a blurb from Stephen A. King, schoolteacher in Idaho, and use it sans middle initial. So why aren't more people doing it? It may be Saul Goodman-esque, but if blurbs actually drive sales, it makes sense.

Some hospitals are sputtering right along, and a list of 12 isn't a great piece of evidence that those hospitals (many of which are run by regional organizations which are essentially consolidating patient pools into a central location) are being run effectively - especially if these hospitals are paying 10k/week for travel nurses.

If there's a location that isn't profitable to operate a hospital in then the hospital will probably fail. America is the country still clinging to market-driven healthcare services and the market can be a cruel mistress.

And all that doesn't at all erode the fact that nurses are paid pauper's wages at extremely profitable hospitals - some tech companies are going out of business, some probably closed their doors today... that doesn't mean that all engineers are expected to work for 60hrs/week at $15/hr.

> it's her job to protect the country above all else.

As reality has proven, she's not allowed to do that job at all. "Having expressed her views, The Queen abides by the advice of her ministers"[0].

What this shows is that there is a power vacuum at the heart of the elective dictatorship that is the UK constitutional system. Actually implementing this mythical "safety valve" would require someone with a proper mandate to exercise the powers of the monarch (vetoing laws, treaties, and wars, for example). That person could be the "Governor General" of the UK, for nominal consistency with the Commonwealth realms, and they would report directly to the Queen, just as the PM does, except they would be elected by the whole country.

To keep them accountable, they could be impeached by a majority vote in both houses of parliament, but removing them would trigger a new Governor General election (with the current holder of that office not eligible). Also, someone could only become a candidate for that role if they received the support of 20% of MPs, which should hopefully prevent a populist sweeping into power. The voting system could be something like the Supplementary Vote[1].

Specifically in the case of Brexit, we could have seen a principled Governor General (perhaps someone like John Major) threaten to resign (during the crisis of May failing to get her Brexit deal through parliament) unless a second referendum was called. An election for Governor General under those circumstances would effectively be a single-issue election on the question of Brexit anyway (without the constituency/gerrymandering problems of FPTP), so I imagine the government would have granted Major's request.

There is no better. It's two different types of education. Bootcamps are just a refined version of the "teach yourself" crowd and there's nothing wrong with that.

If you're looking for engineers that can code a fullstack application in Typescript/React or a Backend/Front architecture in Python / Go / etc with a JSON API + a swift frontend; bootcampers will probably have a leg up. After all, they learned the specific knowledge to get them there.

If you need an engineer that can do audio dsp programming, embedded bare metal and/or firmware bootstrapping + development, OS design, compiler/VM design, etc; you'd be hard-pressed to find a bootcamper that could do the job without extensive training, let alone hit the ground running.

But ultimately, it's a moot point. After about 4 years, if they care more about the field than just as "a job" or "to pay bills" (e.g., they have a genuine interest and drive), either one will have enough experience to branch out and fill in their gaps.

Ask HN: Do ISP's inject ads into browsers?
Just noticed that an item that was heavily Google searched on one device in my home was now showing up as an advertisement on another device that was using Internet Explorer. This device is purely used for work and that has never once been used for searching for this item or anything remotely related to it. I find this very disturbing, albeit highly coincidental, and I cannot draw any other conclusion (additionally, no other devices pair or interface with the work device in question).
I tried a few random political slogans that came to mind.

"Brexit means Brexit" -> "Brotherhood is the collapse"

"Make America Great Again" -> "Renovate"

"Change We Can Believe In" -> "We can be confident"

"Because Britain Deserves Better" -> "Because the UK is useful"
People do similar tricks all the time in some countries. The goal is to obtain a copy of the census.

Political parties can ask for a free copy so they can mail info to the pool of possible voters. Is one of their rights as candidates. This information is valuable [1], can be sold or used in other projects to find possible clients, so is not a totally crazy move

Can be also interesting just as exercise to teach yourself in the inner parts of the voting system.

At least for Korean eSports players (which there are quite a few), one of the hurdles is mandatory military service. Many times people leave the scene and just never get back into it, or at least not at the level they were previous to their military service.

I think I've also seen some talk about how even a few years of age can affect how fast your reflexes are, in terms of actions per minute, etc. But that more experienced players can do more with less APM.

Taking away or breaking up the best times of eSports players certainly isn't helping their career length.

First of all, neither do /you/ know the counterfactual and so you have no bearing on whether or not this person "would have likely been disappointed in your parents had they sent you to college early as well."

Do you have any experience with folks who went to secondary education early? Because I was miserable in high school bored out of my mind and left 1 year only and my only regret was not leaving even earlier like some of my peers did. Speaking platitudes like "the grass is always greener" may make you feel better but it doesn't line up with 25% of the profiles of students I've seen go to secondary education early (and I know a lot of them).
"To be or not to be, that is the question." -> "No questions."
> the bull requires payment

Is the bull the one requiring or being required the payment? Or is bull used as a noun or a verb - I mean it's just too ambiguous to do anything with, and some ambiguity is hard to even notice without a context. Though, "the bull charges" is worse; it can't even be determined whether it's first or second person interaction, so "the bull requires" is definitely a clarification.
Yes, there wasn't much "history" there. I worked on an AIX system that used HACMP. Before that, I used Veritas clustering and file system on Suns. Prior to that, I was at a VMS shop that made use of DEC's built in clustering.
This is almost certainly bullshit. Keep in mind that NIH indexes the publication, this had nothing to do with NIH. A single "professor emeritus" author, while is shouldn't just be dismissed, is not something to take very seriously without significant additional evidence.

I'm not sure what the competitive edge could be to not wall garden. It's always going to be more expensive to try to work with those who don't work with you.

Going the self-host route, I'd still want a service of some sort so I didn't have to maintain it myself. Almost like an evergreen program that self-hosts my data and synchronizes and backups and transfers anything and everything.

Everything would be accessible outside of the program as local human readable or viewable files where possible. That'd be the best way to be non-walled garden.

>1. Many new nurses make the same or more and long time nurses. It's frustrating when the nurse in charge with the most experience is making less than new nurses. Some hospitals are even trying to stop nurses from talking about pay.

I used this to create a short poem after I noticed that all of the imperfections of translation accumulate across translations but the output was thematically similar to the input.

The odd-numbered lines are sentences I wrote, and the even-numbered lines are sentences from the model. Then I came up with a sentence that would continue the previous sentence.

input: Nothing can break my spirit;

output: I couldn't do anything

input: Because I was lifeless.

output: Why don't you live?

input: Enter into eternal communion with the human species;

output: Forever with such a person.

input: I am the link between my ancestors and my descendants,

output: I am a good relationship between my visitors and disregard.
Depends on the work around. I don't think it is possible to get between app tracking data from some side channel, Apple will definitely block that through legal if not technical enforcement.

But they can use data from Android to infer user behavior for Apple users.

He nicked it from Robert Michels, who wrote about the Iron Law of Oligarchies in 1911: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_law_of_oligarchy

Huh, today I learned that there's a difference between a B-tree and a binary (search) tree, or at least, that the B-tree is a generalization of a binary tree where the nodes have multiple elements for efficiency. I'd always thought B-tree was just short for "binary tree".
>If it doesn't really matter, then why is it the specification?

Sometimes you just need a specification, because you have to tell your mfgr something[0]. Notably 5 thou is a pretty standard idgaf-tolerance, but in this specific case might be important.

[0] e.g. a spec of 5" is meaningless, 5.00000 +/-.000001 is insane, and 5.000 +/- 0.005" is (generally) readily achievable and good enough.

For those that are wondering, this is actually a soft-synth. You can download it and run it on Windows or Mac, and it's actually pretty nice, they included a VST version so you can use it in your DAW of choice. I just loaded it into Live 11 without issue, and it sounds pretty nice.

Well, there’s sort of two paradigms here for me personally.

For one, academic and research interests. For these, I get some kickback because people who use the software cite it in their publications. So I spend some considerable time upkeeping and bug fixing these projects.

I also write FOSS for my own purposes if I need something and existing solutions don’t really do it. Or they might do it but learning how to use them to do something simple is more work and upkeep than just writing it myself. Generally, I don’t really care if people use these projects or not but sill respond to bugs/features/etc if they will actually improve the project or if they don’t require much work from me.
The problem is not that they had to work on those days.

The problem is that they had two consecutive shifts.

The alternative is that the hospital hires enough people so they can schedule them such that everybody has time to go home relax and sleep after they are done with a shift.

There might be someone on HN who can legitimately answer you but I think this question isn't really helpful to discussion. Some experts have said y should be less than x, instead, y is greater than x... this is a problem. Someone may very well chime in with an explanation about how as long as y is less than 1.2 * x it's actually probably fine, but considering this is a highly technical field and considering the expense of making such a small gap I think it's a good idea to just assume there is some really good for y to be less than x.

Edit: Actually there are some highly technical replies and that's awesome! But I still stand by my point - the time to evaluate whether a test is fair or not is generally not when you're failing the test.
