I didn't say that. And I don't' think people think that when questions like that are asked.

People don't care about this stuff if it's going to waste a ton of their time.

Theres a reason people buy closed source oems and don't care. It's because it works and doesn't waste their time.

Imagine buying an open source car where you can to periodically rebuilt parts of the engine because it was "free". That's absurd, people aren't buying a philosophical journey. they're buying a car.

I'm sure if pinephone or OLPC used entirely free drivers and didn't waste your time to do the same asks people would find it much more agreeable.
Maximising profit by cutting down wages and personnel is not a MBA specific problem.
This is the answer. Blocked emails happen for random reasons and fixing them is a black art that involves talking to ISPs and stuff. It's really too much for an average person to handle.

At work we've had issues with email delivery due to things like outdated IP block lists at some random ISP four hops away, only impacting deliverability when mail gets routed through that part of the web.
Oh the other hand that kit feels absolutely overkill (and the cost of it must be insane) when ~50 bucks worth of iFixit tools and a hair dryer has done the job just fine for me.

In that case they offer even less value than I imagined.
I doubt that it's as simple as that. Nurses are also leaving in Canada and we don't have insurance breathing down their neck.
Cost optimization usually have huge gaps in things that are hard to measure like onboarding cost/time or morale or benefits of experience. Who cares about any of that when you can make the shareholders another million a the expense of literally everyone else?
If you can't run a five-minute mile, and are therefore put into a PE class where you never run, do you think you'll ever get into a shape where you can?

One nitpick: the Google Docs code does not display favourably on mobile. It might help to publish in HTML if you're interested in targeting those readers.
I work in tech with no college degree and about 9 years of programming experience. I make mid 100,000's per year. My S/O has 6 years of Emergency Department experience and a bachelors degree and she made about 65k at our local hospital. I think pay is an enormous factor in this. Her local hospital has nurses with less than 1 year of experience being preceptors to new grads.
Which program do you use to filter incoming spam on the VPS and is it working well?
I was reading in reverse-chronlogical order as posted and wondering what MTLS was. It was clearly named at the beginning/bottom as Mutual TLS. I thought M-TLS might be more helpful to associate with TLS. Later found that Cloudflare (and others) calls this mTLS.
> left leaning people leaving the platform

It’s believable they dislike the change and leaving Twitter. I don’t believe thousands of them have actually deleted their accounts.

People are generally lazy. In my experience, this quality is universal, and applies to 100% of political spectrum. Closing an account takes quite a few clicks.

It’s much easier to stop using Twitter, and uninstall the mobile apps. Doing so doesn’t affect these numbers, at least not until the 6 months specified in the Twitter's “inactive account policy” document.
I have a close relation that works for one of the oldest pediatric hospitals in the country. It was recently revealed that they will be shuttering almost all pediatric services in the next year because they can 10x their profits by only serving elderly clients. The entire purpose of this organization was to provide pediatric healthcare, and it wasn’t losing money…

Sometimes, it feels like we’re min-maxing ourselves to death over here.
Not surprising. My partner is a DNP and has pretty strongly considered leaving the entire profession.

From my perspective, the entire healthcare industry is set up to treat any frontline worker without an MD after their name as completely expendable, nothing more than a row in a spreadsheet that can be optimized for middle management to hit next quarter's bonus targets.

You can meet all metrics management sets out for you, have amazing patient satisfaction scores, etc, and every 6 months some spreadsheet wielding online MBA graduate is going to show up to turn the screws and tell you you need to work harder for the same pay, and to just be happy you aren't getting laid off.

At some point in time, the workers realize the joke is on them and find another profession.
Typically nurses are women. Typically women are married to men. Men worthy of a relationship or marriage to begin with typically have an income significantly higher than min wage, potentially capable of sustaining a family on his own. Nurses are women usually and women have options, usually.

If you have one node with the probability of x% that it fails within a year and you add a second one with the same probability to fail the total pobability that one of the two nodes fail within a year goes up.
Standard error in this case, assuming the 200 are randomly sampled is:

sqrt((p*(1-p)/n)

sqrt((0.9*0.1)/200) = 0.021

So 95% confidence interval for this ~ 0.86 - 0.94

Does that radically change the message of this article?
That's strange. I have a virtual server running vor about 15 years with several upgrades. Debian stable. Email works just fine with the occasional spam mail coming through.

So my Roomba still gets stuck under the sofa, and robots still cannot make a full lunch, but they will replace nurses? Yeah, good luck with that.

Crypto is attractive to repressive governments that want to avoid international scrutiny or procure arms or what have you with less oversight. Russia itself is trying to pass regulation for similar reasons. North Korea and Iran both have used ransomware to steal crypto and fund military programs. Venezuela attempted to introduce its own cryptocurrency as well.

A friend who is an anesthesiologist said that he was retiring because the new machines were so good that no one wanted to pay for an anesthesiologist anymore. They were happy with a nurse. So you're right.
Hah! That was my first thought as well when I read the headline. Classic video!
Being able to do it doesn't mean someone will hire you. Almost anyone may be able to become an engineer but you hardly have a prayer of being hired for a well compensated and benefited role unless you have years of experience or a (science or engineering) degree combined with internship(s).
bullet 2 is at odds with your initial statement. The data collected are from interactions with the smart speaker. Here is the opening sentence of the abstract:

There’s a huge labor shortage, they could do just about anything and get a pretty sizable bonus to sign up. I’ve heard $20k bonus for trucking, local transit agency is offering 7.5k to sign up as a bus driver, police nationwide are desperate and the requirements for the local agency consist of any 2 year degree + being willing to be drug tested, construction industry is trying to recruit women now, etc.
You didn't invalidate the question, you answered it.

And that's great. But why is everyone and their dog still using proof of work? Large nations worth of power is being burnt to process all the others.

Why would they go away? Regulation, even bans will only disrupt the price, push wallets offshore. While there's an anonymous currency you can throw around, accept K&R payments through, it's going to be popular with tax cheats and criminals for a very, very long time. See: the effect of regulation on drugs.
Tip: Start with a solid SPF, DKIM, DMARC policy and register for microsoft, yahoo, etc.’s admin tools and add your domain to google’s webmaster and postmaster tools. (Yes, even if Google postmaster won’t show you anything yet)

Use mail-tester.com or similar tools to ensure everything is configured correctly.

And then just start sending. As long as your volume grows slowly over the first few months, you’ll get basically no rejects.
Obvious bias, since I work there, but Elation Health is very focused on building EHR software that makes it possible for independent primary care providers to be successful and not have to spend hours per day doing paperwork.

https://www.elationhealth.com/

Speaking from personal experience, moonlighting as a paramedic, paperwork is a universal challenge in healthcare (I often spend more time documenting a call than the call itself took from patient contact to transfer of care to the ER). It is shockingly rare for EHRs (regardless of the speciality they focus on) to actively try to make life better for the clinician. That's a large part of why I'm at Elation for my day job; the founders (and therefore the whole company) have a ton of empathy for the doctors (and staff) we serve.
Show HN: Loodio – A Bathroom Privacy Device
Hi HN!

A few years ago our company moved to a new office. That office has a insufferable bathroom in terms of privacy. You could hear a needle fall on the floor inside of it which made it very uncomfortable to use the bathroom.

Many people ran the tap water or fake coughed to cover their “noises”, especially doing “no 2”.

I got sick of not being able to be comfortable in the bathroom and hearing everyone’s toilet business so I decided to make a music player using a Raspberry Pi and soldered on a motion detector that started a white noise and music whenever you entered the bathroom to hide these sounds.

A lot of people said they wanted one so I thought hey I should try to make this into a product.

A lot of time and money was wasted hiring consultants until I 13 months ago said “enough of wasting money, I’ll just build it myself”.

Today I launched a kickstarter and am selling 50 units.

I know people in US have loud fans and such to cover for this, and a lot of people just play music on their phones but the problem with that is: when you manually play music in there you indicate you are going to do something embarrassing!

How else are you solving this problem?

I tried all existing solutions like the Sound Princess from Japan and other chinese crap on Amazon/Ali but they were not up to the task.

I think there could be a market for Loodio.
What do you think?
I had a chance to play on one many years ago.

Many are in museums behind glass, but a private collector brought one to a bunker museum I volunteered at, I asked if I could try it out and he obliged.

In Maryland at the NSA's National Cryptologic Museum in Fort Meade visitors can try their hand at using one to encipher and decipher messages (per Wikipedia).
"If you have to ask, you shouldn't be doing it," said the
tired old King of Gatekeeping.

For a second, I thought I was on Stackoverflow. If you aren't starting by asking questions about the possibilities or limitations of a system you're about to work in, then you aren't starting properly.
> 2. Patients in COVID have become downright mean. Add this to the problems nurses have management and doctors (who are often rude and arrogant) and it's a poor culture. The quality of the environment, from a mental health standpoint, is on the decline.

Mean customers, and rude coworkers? I sympathize, but this is a reality in a lot of industries. I have no reason to believe that healthcare here is worse than average.
He was part of a hospital system so he used their software. I know nothing about medical software but my impression is that there is a huge amount of paperwork regardless involving insurance, prescriptions, testing, etc. Stuff is more integrated and electronic than it used to be but there's still a lot of manual interactions, phone calls, faxes, etc.
Based on anecdotal experience, giving a smartphone app access to your microphone "while using the app" results in targeted ads for things you were talking about within 10-15 minutes of having the app open. I haven't done any strict science to confirm it, but I'm obsessive about privacy and can almost always track down the likely reason when I get an accurately targeted ad. I'm my opinion, it's naive to think that our voices aren't being processed by tech companies to serve ads at every opportunity. I'm glad to see some analysis proving it, and I think we need more of that because the problem definitely isn't limited to Amazon.
Canadian nurses are also leaving the profession in droves for many of the same reasons ... so this might be a universal problem.
That's not what he means, he means using wavefield synthesis which is actually trying to reproduce the physical sound field with speaker arrays, in that case you don't need HRTF processing because your ears are receiving the waves from the actual positions. It can work for a bigger audience in an larger area without wearing headphones and without using head- and position-tracking but it needs lot of loudspeakers for accuracy.

It should be instructive to the parent that my "strawman" is a direct consequence of, and answer to, theirs...

But that would require acknowledging anything about their specious claims was ever wrong! Can't have that. Just ignore it!
Wages need to go up. Also I think there will be a big push to open up immigration to nurses and doctors over the coming decades

Kind of weird that the usa prioritizes software developers over healthcare workers in the immigration system .
> This one is big for product designers.

I think this is looking at the problem wrong. The problem is that implementing positive change in these systems is impossible for reasons far outside the control of any product designer or developer currently on the team.

This software is old, has byzantine requirements, probably cut costs all over the place, and conceived in a board room without the benefit of an adequate development lifecycle or stakeholders advocating for the users.

It probably takes 3 months to move a button around, and instead of moving that button executives are having them push a feature that earns a few more million, or a feature that the customers want more then a UX improvement.
They do detail what the nurses themselves say are the problems in the article. I’m not sure I see a reason to doubt their reasons. They didn’t identify a shortage of doctors but rather a shortage of low skilled workers whose jobs they’re having to pick up in addition. Also while the population ratios might be in their favor, apparently the patient to nurse ratios aren’t. Even if they’re better than most of the world that doesn’t mean they’re necessarily happy - when you’re unhappy telling someone that there’s someone worse off doesn’t improve their situation.

If they can't throw some medication with pharma kickbacks at you, they probably won't do much at all.

My 6 month old son was put on topical steroids for a small rash on his back and the doctors solution when this turned into a progressive issue was more and stronger topical steroids.

Eventually I learned about topical steroid withdrawal, and after a hellish withdrawal period, my son has no real skin conditions.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpW4VV2bsD8&t=28s

And yes, my son at ~1 year old was red and bleeding like that head to toe.

When I brought up steroid withdrawal I was rudely dismissed by multiple doctors including dermatologists.

Doctors currently have willful blinders on at a minimum, and some may be a true embodiment of evil. I hope the whole for profit medical system crashes and burns.
Flutter’s Wikipedia page has some history. See esp. footnote 7 (and keynote video at the linked page) and also the History section of the WP page.

I think it's more about the UX. I don't actively use either platform but the experience of asking "I wonder where my friends are", going to a map and going "huh, I guess I know someone currently in XYZ place" is pretty different from having to search for a place.
Spam has become much easier to avoid on inbound mail at some point. I turned off all Bayesian/heuristic based spam filtering around 2015 and now just check SPF and DKIM, and have a fake first MX record. No "Junk" folder, everything that passes the checks goes to the inbox. I get maybe one spam mail every week or so, which I just delete.
almost every single general/primary care Medical Doctor's office in this area of California closed doors after the year 2000 or so.. Paperwork related to insurance billing, and inability to compete with Big Managed Care (Kaiser Health) for work conditions and benefits, is what I heard as reasons.. the offices were empty commercial space, it was noticeable how many there were...
Good thing I was talking triplestores and not Datalog then.
Lawsuits we’re talking about involve incredibly common harmonic and melodic progressions[0], but that’s besides the point.

Key aspects of software—the way it looks and works—aren’t auto-copyrighted (right?), even if they are quite original and unique. Many common UI (timeline, photo grid, etc.) or API patterns arise because they spring to multiple minds because they simply make sense in given moment in given shared context; just like that arbitrary melodic progressions spring to mind as you play, and yes who’s there to say it didn’t spring to someone else’s mind before.

As someone both into music and software production, I personally will continue finding the notion of harmonic progressions or melodies as automatically copyrighted (or even copyrightable) as weird. There’s just so much more than that to any song or music piece, and making a field of creative passion a legal minefield doesn’t seem conducive to its thriving.

Not OP, but two things I’ve found to be true:

* the more complex the configuration required to provide high availability, the more likely something will go wrong and reduce availability

* the more nodes you have, the more likely one of them will fail. Whether that reduces availability typically depends on the failure mode and control layer.

For an example of the latter, with the distributed database Riak (and I imagine others as well) if a server is starting to fail (corrupt disk, bad network card, etc) you’re in a much better place if it stops working entirely. A gradual node failure is much much worse.
I've always wondered why they don't hire an assistant that JUST does the paperwork/coding for the doctor. They could follow them into room and just take notes (and leave at times when it is appropriate).

How much could it cost to pay someone else to do this? Surely less than a doctor makes doing it... It can become its own profession. It's a separate skill - separate from what a doctor should be focusing on.

On a side note, it seems that a lot of professions would benefit from having an assistant - a thing that seems to have disappeared - if what I've seen in old movies in shows is to be believed. Another side-case of this is the fact that technical people tend to be promoted into management roles and have to deal with attendance and time-sheets - why not have someone else do it? The work only suffers.
This is exactly my daughter, she thrived online when her teachers posted a weeks material at a time she'd be done by wednesday. She was so happy she could work at her own pace and didn't have to wait for other kids.
> So pay isn't the problem.

Or pay is a problem elsewhere too.
I read an article years ago (30 or so, I was still in high school) about 42-character text on the Spectrum which drew 6x8 characters instead of 8x8. You could do 40 col text with an 8 pixel border down each side, which might look quite nice.
Yeah, lots of places just straight up block entire IP ranges, such as anywhere you can get a VM for cheap/free, or residential IP ranges, etc.
From my friends anecdotal experience, burnout in medical industry is partly due to too much administrative work.

It is also partly because the number of patients is increasing disproportionately, mostly because people are getting older. An individual at the age of 50 needed fewer medical appointments than an individual at the age of 70. That's literally from 2002 to today.

There just aren't enough nurses and doctors to tend to such a large old population.
Yes, but. There are few places that need heating 100% of the year and fewer people living there. During the non-heating hours/days, that's just waste heat.

Depending on where the bulbs are located, they may be emitting into a ceiling cavity that exits the building's envelope more quickly than the location of the heating coil. Some bulbs are actually outside the building.

And of course, the heating system can supply 0.5kW for less than 0.5kW of power with heat pumps or (net including generation and transmission) natural gas.
What non-technical bootcamps provide actual on-ramps into the industry?
I don't think any of this is necessarily true and I hope few believe this at this point.
I wish they did that with the Computer History Museum's collections. Or the Living Computer Museum in Seattle. Maybe even paying them to help them continuing to exist.

Extra bonus for doing this with the disassembled parts during restoration so everyone can 3D print their own Cray 2 aquariums.
I got badly injured. Everyone refused to do paperwork. Every doctor said it was every others job. I had great disability coverage. (In theory)

Result. Spent 2 years trying to work when I couldn’t get out of bed and was mostly blind.

All because doctors didn’t want to spend 20 minutes filling out forms.
Plus Disability companies lie constantly until various deadlines pass.
