Janie Harvey Garner, a St. Louis registered nurse:

“In response to a story like this one, there are two kinds of nurses,” Garner said. “You have the nurses who assume they would never make a mistake like that, and usually it’s because they don’t realize they could. And the second kind are the ones who know this could happen, any day, no matter how careful they are. This could be me. I could be RaDonda.”

> Also the med she pulled had warnings on all sides of the bottle and on the top saying very clearly that it's fatal to administer without ventilation.

The linked PDF includes images of medicine in question. There's a single warning on top that reads "WARNING: PARALYZING AGENT" and a red cap. I don't see any warnings on the side. The vial appears to be tiny, smaller than my thumb.

But yes, she made a series of mistakes, listed on the last two pages of the PDF.

I am not a nurse, but I can easily imagine how someone could make the errors she did in an overworked and high-stress environment. It's a cascading series of errors that starts with overriding the medicine cabinet when she can't find the medicine she's looking for. But according to her defense, overriding the cabinet had become almost standard operating procedure at Vanderbilt at that timeframe. Once she starts down this path, she's operating on automatic and almost blind to what she's doing.

I agree she was negligent. I don't think she should go to prison for it. In the bigger picture, this is causing more nurses to quit, likely leading to more medical errors and deaths, not fewer.

iPad Mail app broken and Apple ignores it
Heh, so I actually do this.

An incredible amount of the web just breaks. Twitter, Reuters, Imgur. Like it's one thing if, when I attempt to log in, your log in fails (and usually, logins fail to handle the error & will just loop back to the start, that's at least a start) but a lot of the web will have a flash-of-text and then nothing, & JS has crashed.
We're trying this out at a large insurance company. Historically actuarial teams created excel workbooks, r code, and python. Then those models were given to development teams to implement in a different language. As one might guess there were loads of bugs and the process was slow. Now we're going to deploy an R lambda that owned by DevOps which integrates all the I/O into dataframes. The lambda calls a calculation in R that takes those dataframes and returns a dataframe answer. If all goes well (prototype works fine), we saved probably 500k and 6 months.
Not having any sort of basic disk/storage solution has been painful for us. There's been a lot of situations where I would love to store a big blob of data on the disk while processing it but if that Heroku dyno reboots - poof, its gone.
You're right, the total price is $360+shipping (EDIT: or $327.35 after the return credit) with the additional tool rental. The $311 price is just the display bundle, which includes the display+adhesive+screws. Although to be fair, the tools in that rental kit aren't required to do the repair as far as I can tell.

Also, I just noticed that the display items have this disclaimer:

> This part requires the System Configuration software tool. After performing the repair, contact us by chat or phone to initiate System Configuration.

So they're not getting rid of that bullshit display serial number system, meaning that even if you buy a genuine display from Apple and perform the repair following Apple's own instructions, your phone will still be in a broken state until you call Apple and ask them to remove the software lock.

You also can't even place an order for a display unless you provide a valid serial number/IMEI.
Completely correct. Too lazy to amend my answer, but even rational numbers don’t have a unique decimal representation.

Exactly what I've been trying to push to the team.
Twenty years ago I was in Japan, as an onsite tester while we tried out this new thing called XP. The project wasn't going smoothly because no one had told our Japanese clients we were building the solution iteratively, with their input.

At one stage, we all received an email, in Japanese, from the project stakeholder. I put it through machine translation, which back then was pretty raw. The English text was largely gobbledygook, except for one sentence, still branded in my brain: "It becomes the alligator."

Summed up the project perfectly.

In 2022, the average cost to complete a 4-year bachelor’s degree in Canada (while living at home) is about 50,000 CAD.

Personally, the problem was time, not money. I couldn’t find a single university in Canada that would let me complete a bachelor’s degree online in less than 2 years, let alone 3 months. This is despite having 3-4 years of post-secondary education in the field (equivalent of an associate’s degree, plus a semester of university credits).

Now that remote learning is ubiquitous due to COVID-19, I suspect there might be more options for Canadians seeking accelerate their education.

If there is a softening in real estate prices, coupled with a slump in securities, those with cash may want to put their money in real estate in the hopes of seeing a good returns when the recession turns around.

Even with rising interest rates, if someone locks in a loan where they can break even with renters, they can sit on the property waiting for the market to recover.

This looks particularly attractive in the scenario where high interest rates combined with a recession creates difficulties for many people to purchase a home, in which case they will rent and be paying off someone else's loan/giving them a return on their invested cash.

Unlike companies, property doesn't go bankrupt. It can devalue, but there is often inherent value in the fact that it can be rented out, so there is decent stability. I guess, though, if there is a major regional shift where the property is located, like a manufacturing plant in the midwest shutting down, there could be a drop in housing prices and rental demand that would be very difficult to recover.

How old is your TV?

For me, what he wrote is exactly what I expected from the title.

In some universities from where I am there's something known as "rendir libre", which means that you can skip classes but still do the final exam for each subject, so you would be able to achieve something similar to this.

I like that kind of system, as I don't like the bureaucracy of the education system getting in the way of someone who has the knowledge, I think it was a nice read and what WGU does is useful for a minority of people.
You can't depend on that working. It could be another digit.

Did your work end up on apple.com?
Oh wow. That is really not very much pain, as described.

I have to say, I never thought that the benefit of Haskell having a horrible native string type would be "you can just upgrade strings like any other dependency," which is really kinda slick. You think about how much pain there was for Py2 -> Py3 where one of the big sticking factors was all of the distinctions around strings and encoding and byte arrays... this is comparatively quite nice. Makes me wonder how much of a programming language can be hotswappable.
> My question was whether you used Bayesian reasoning to accept Bayesian reasoning as your epistemology. And I don't think you did.

Ah. Yes, I agree. In fact, I very rarely actually do the Bayesian math.

My core epistemology is Popperian.

It's even worse than that. One of the predictions of the MWI is that it is not testable! The MWI is "not even wrong".
Okay. So you'll need to lower your standards. I went to an engineering school with tons of group projects. A teammate that did little to nothing was not unusual. If anything, it prepared me for the workforce. The 80/20 rule applies: 20% of the people do most of the work.
Should it? The market for medical care has a base rate (and appears to be clearly under-staffed for that rate), but (especially in a pandemic) it's rather peaky and the basic skills appear to be VERY transferable from location to location. If there are people with the skills that are willing to travel, it seems that a system that maintained maximum capacity in all locations would be a very wasteful one.

I wonder if there should be some kind of channel to report this to AWS instead so they can temporarily shut off public access rather than wait for the service to get around to it. This doesn't seem too far fetched, since copyright holders are currently able to go after the hosting company for things like DMCA violations and PII seems more important than pirated movies whatnot.

(Obviously, this would likely break the outward facing part of the AWS customer's application, so there'd need to be verifications to prevent using the reports to DoS a service.)

> 3. IT systems that they have to use were designed by people who have not talked with the workers who use them. They may have been designed with laws and compliance in mind. Nurses aren't the people who choose or pay for these systems. But, they use them a lot (maybe the most) and it's obvious they weren't taken into account when designing the UX. It's maddening for them.

> This one is big for product designers. Often we listen to the people who pay for it and miss out on the people who actually have to use it.

This resonates with me strongly for two reasons. First my mother is a retired RN, and the electronic record keeping was her biggest frustration. It is hilarious to me how much my mother hates computers, while I make a living in software.

Second, I'm now working for a startup, Smarter Dx (we're hiring: https://angel.co/company/smarterdx/jobs ) that works with these records and tries to make better use of them. To the extent that we're successful, incentives are created for the hospital to improve them, conceivably including improving the UX that nurses see. I don't mean to underestimate the difficulty of the problem, but I think it's possible to at least push in the right direction.

That was a hostile response for what seemed like a reasonable position.

Tell me samhw: If I told you I had a bunch of echos in my garage. Would you be wondering why I just said "I have a bunch of voice commands issued to my echo in my garage"? No. You would not.

It's not an unreasonable position

So tell me why it deserved that response.
Just quit these companies. Market allows for it and when you do clearly communicate the reason. Also building tools to disrupt the metrics should be easy. Company time of course. If they ask for a high score a dependable worker delivers.

I wish they would name the large retailer. This is valuable information for workers to be informed. It is no libel in this case.

The 10+ minutes that OP observed where in tortoise (=9) mode tho. That's the slowest mode, comparable to "placebo" mode in x264, and meant as a "test" mode, not as a daily driver.

The libjxl default is "squirrel" (=7), and you can go as low as lightning (=1), so you have a choice to trade compression efficiency for compression speed.

Additionally, there are different decoder modes (in the encoder), allowing you to make tradeoffs between efficiency/density vs speed.

But yeah, libjxl will remain slower than libjpeg-turbo, especially on encodes.

Given that there are 80+ ethnicities and languages in the USA, I'd say having a variety of ethnicities is compatible with a wide variety of economical, political, and civil structures. The question as it stands is a multivariate problem that is nearly intractable to answer factually.
Ask HN: Devise a Civilizational Model
I was thinking about the latest human folly and in an uber objective mode of not trying to paint one or the other as 'evil incarnate' happened on the conclusion that the core issue is fundamentally that of a deficient working model for civilization (as a unit) and composition of these units into a larger harmonious whole. That doesn't predictably periodically descends into warfare.

The basic idea that drove policy in the last century (and this century was supposed to be the proof of the idea) was that (a) civilization units have core, not necessarily physical, centers; and (b) trade between these units is how they compose to higher harmonious forms.

So, there are 2 fronts to innovate here. One is the unit model. Is it possible for example to have a stripped down version of what constitutes a civilization (think micro kernel) and then have global level integration? What are the components of the stripped core model? Can there be symbiotic types? Binary or higher order partial civilizations that collectively become one? I think possibly historic Europe qualifies for that with its mix of Latin, German, etc. that naturally fall under an umbrella of European. These forms seem to require one unifying shared element, here the Church.

The second front is how these units compose. Warfare, trade, cultural exchange. Also population exchanges are a historic specimen of inter-unit interactions. So Q here is, given that the 20th century emphasis on 'trade' as the singular most important dimension is now shown to be false, and some units are resorting to 'warfare' to affect changes in global order, is there actually a solution to this problem short of supremacy of a victorious unit? If you take a moralist stance, you'll need to answer questions such as 'is it OK for liberal civilizations to interact with authoritarian ones?'.

As a kind of a third rail there is the fact that availability of certain technologies provide a sort of ground level constraint to any consideration since even disputes involving other 3rd parties can have very local detrimental effects.

So is there a compositional solution or are we destined to duke it out for a final round?

[p.s. things like 'ritualized warfare' for example are on the table.]

> In some climates and energy grids, switching from things like incandescent to LED causes a greater environmental impact.

But for a huge number of people (probably the majority) who live in more temperate climates (most of Europe and the US), they are a net win both in their energy bills and environmentally marginal extremely cold climates. That's the people whom LEDs target, not the people in marginal extreme cold climates running high power-draw servers in their homes.
Apologies if the comment sounded like I was trying to provoke. My point was that there is a line, and different languages draw the line in different places. It's true that ints _can_ be made more library-like, but it's also true that most people don't complain about them being built-in to nearly the same degree as, say, built-in maps.
To my mind MooTools and jQuery were roughly equivalent in functionality. Am I misremembering?

Check your meter to see if it has a blinking LED. Most meters have a pulse LED which blinks X times per kWh consumes. Before smart meters where a thing I used to have a light sensitive transistor taped to my meter and just count the pulses. Even older models might have a digit replaced with a mirror on the last indicator dial. Which can also easily be read. Another one is magnetic pulse output, which can be read with a HAL sensor, but those are mostly found on water meters. Don't be satisfied with aggregated low resolution scraped metrics is what i'm saying. Per second real-time power measuring is the thing you want :).

I don't remember the original Gmail having a rich editor in the compose view (I've been trying to source some screenshots but can't seem to find any with the compose view), but I do remember it being pretty impressive for the time. There definitely were a few libraries pushing the envelope back then.

SproutCore for instance was around in 2006 and Apple built it's first version of MobileMe on it[1]. Prototype.js[2] first came out in 2005. I believe it was Prototype.js that first popularised the dollar sign $() for CSS selectors, or was it cssQuery[3]? Prototype also had Dojo[4] as healthy competition right from the start.

I also remember YUI[5] and its offshot Ext.js[6].
