The title is "Discharge After Sedation or Anesthesia on the Day of the Procedure: Patient Transportation With or Without a Responsible Adult" from the American Association of Nurse Anesthesiology

The checklist starts out with:

> Review and comply with federal, state, and local law and regulations as well as facility accreditation requirements

> Engage the facility’s legal counsel, risk manager and/or similar role to review and address liability and legal concerns.

There are significant liability risks for a hospital to discharge a person who has been sedated to anyone other than an adult who has the obligation to give care to the person if needed.

This includes things like discharging a person who has been sedated to a ride share who then robs them (you are free to imagine worse situations). As this has happened with intoxicated people being driven home from a bar, hospitals are rightly concerned that if they discharge someone to a ride share, they may be incurring significant liability of their own.

Going back to my sedation dentistry experiences, the person who is going to take me home has to be there with me at the start while I am not yet sedated and there were a number of forms that I filled out when I became a patient of theirs identifying the people who could drive me.

The laws around the requirements and liability for a medical facility to discharge person who has been sedated do not give much wiggle room for the hospital to get out of that liability.
Graphic design has been a Mac stronghold for basically forever. I remember them being the only exception to the Windows only” rules most companies had for a very long time.

Also as a Windows->Mac switcher myself, I’m not sure breaking Windows UX is a bad thing.
Wow yeah I missed this. Read through most if it and was looking to see if anyone else had already commented my thinking:

“And the new design is WAY worse in every way!”

Honestly it’s hard to tell what it even is with the new design: SaaS product? Contract agency? Flight tracker?

I found the first design to be significantly clearer. I wonder how the author distinguished between revenue increase coming from natural growth vs. the redesign.
oh hey, this is my project! Sensor Watch definitely has different goals — less smart, more watch — but I love this, and I love how the F-91W represents such a blank canvas for folks to project their vision onto. It's small and so very thin (at home on any person's wrist), water-resistant and vaguely indestructible. It's also so inexpensive and ubiquitous that you can take it apart and hack on it without feeling like you're breaking something important, and you can safely assume that anyone in the world can probably grab one at a local store and hack along at home. It's a wonderful object.

>> When a plane or train crashes, we stop everything and redesign the entire network to prevent this from happening again

There was a train crash less than a month ago that killed 4 people and injured 150, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Missouri_train_derailment.

It was at a crossing that didn't have warning lights or crossing gates. Which is a known issue and has been for many decades.

We are not going to stop everything and redesign the entire rail network to prevent this from happening again, because it would cost too much. Even if saving lives and preventing injuries was the only priority, there are better ways to spend money than improving railroad crossings in rural areas.

The current mileage death rate for motor vehicles is around 1.5 deaths per 100,000,000 miles driven. Marginal improvements in that have to be cheap to be cost-effective, there are many ways to save lives and prevent injuries in America if you have money to spend.
> The science is only more reliable than non-science, not reliable in any absolute sense.

What "the" science?

The scientific method is proven to be a very good way to make predictions about the world based on observations. The body of scientific work built up is immeasurably valuable and incredibly good at predicting things.

Some random corporation or politician or person claiming to have The Science on their side, and that anybody who disagrees or questions them is a heretic and an unbeliever? That's not reliable and it's not science.

Tweakers podcast of last week I think (in Dutch so I might as well paraphrase it translated). The topic was chromebooks and how it's convenient and easy for a lot of schools

> I went to buy a laptop for my son's new school last week. When I heard it was required, I was expecting some list of hardware requirements but no, the list I got had exactly one specification: Windows.

Schools also do free advertising for Microsoft products, at least in all of the schools where I went to until ~5 years ago. At minimum once a year we were made aware of the fact that we could get Microsoft products like Office at steep discounts from their new online store which they were so proud of and thankful for. Benevolent microsoft letting us get used to their ecosystem for prices we could actually afford, but not free! Still gotta make that profit!

Not sure why they didn't also advertise for libreoffice which, last I checked, is even cheaper and an even better protip (better compatibility if we would just not force each other to keep using the proprietary thing). I guess they just didn't feel like the libreoffice foundation was giving them free money the way that microsoft pretends to.

It gets even more ironic if you realize that schools fall in the 'semi-government' category and thus it's legally required (not optional) to use open source software unless that's impossible, and if it's impossible then it needs to be documented why it's impossible. In practice, you can guess how much this law is followed. I never heard of any consequences for not following it.

TL;DR: legally, there is the opposite of a microsoft requirement, except many schools require both Windows and Office in practice

Sure you can. They are called cycle roads, for bikes. Cars kill people, bikes don't. If American cities were designed with bicycle and train transport in mind, we wouldn't be having this discussion.
I wonder if you might subconsciously have a more active style of listening to a lecture or reading a book, such that you automatically reflect on the content, maybe playing back a compressed summary of every section in your mind. Someone with this approach would get a lot more out of a lecture or a book than someone who zones out or highlights the first sentence of every other paragraph without really engaging mentally.

By contrast, it's possible to take notes unproductively: mindlessly transcribing the audio stream can produce a great transcript, but does not promote understanding. It's more effective to take your approach of actually listening, and if you do take notes, to write a compressed summary, or key points of the last few minutes, or rewording key concepts (the "generative" stuff the article mentions).
Yes it does.

It shows there is zero correlation.
yeah, a book is a particularly strange object to do that with. It's not like it's going to have gold rims, automatic spill prevention and drop parachute, and self-reading abilities. it's probably going to be some textbook
+1 Intrinsic motivation is important (and personal too). But that I am not sure companies gets to demand that out of you as long as you are delivering (and not maligning). When this gets equated "well you are not putting 200% so you are not motivated" that is where I see the problem.

Also I am totally fine if the author of this article is reminiscing good old days of gruel and pain. I just couldnt find anything to empathize with her about and felt sad for her. Again if masochism is the author's thing then good for them.
forensic image analysis is cool and all, but i think maybe instead of:

"A neuroscience image sleuth finds signs of fabrication in scores of Alzheimer’s articles, threatening a reigning theory of the disease."

it would be better to see:

"A neuroscientist conducts an irrefutably strong study that upends 16 years of theory on the disease process behind Alzheimer's."

i don't care if someone cheated, i care that their results are discredited by scientific processes, not forensic review.

This is an interesting side effect of our remote workplace culture.
It used to be that if you committed a crime physically in the workplace, I presume it would not be an interstate crime. However, now you likely are required to work with people all over the place so the laws are all escalated (as i understand it typically interstate law is more punishing).
The standard of truth in science is reproducibility. But publication usually happens before results have been independently reproduced. Papers are peer reviewed, but generally peer reviewers are just ensuring that the results are sufficiently interesting to warrant publication and there aren't any obvious methodology mistakes.

For the purpose of funding, publication in important journals or conference proceedings is the important thing. And the public generally tends to treat publication as the standard of truth. But publication kind of works on the honor system and is susceptible to fabricated results.

Maybe there should be more funding towards reproducing (or not) important results?

Back in the late 80s/early 90s, I used to travel a few times a year to give LaTeX seminars and one of the things I would do was get the local yellow pages and (don’t tell anyone) rip out the pages that listed all the local bookstores and then I would proceed to go to every single one of them.

Boulder, Colorado had a great selection of bookstores. I remember going into one bookstore and being puzzled when I not only couldn’t find any of my favorite authors on the shelves, but I had never heard of any of the authors. It wasn’t until I left the store and turned around and looked at the store again that I realized it was an adult bookstore (I think it was named something like Kitty’s Books and the signage as to its nature was subtle).

Another fun moment was visiting a bookstore/cafe/literacy center in New Orleans and picking up a self-published game there called Cartoon Wars on the recommendation of the clerk on duty. I flipped through it back at my hotel room and realized it was created by someone I went to college with.

When I visited the UK, I came home with so many books, I had to declare my purchases at customs. Fortunately, I didn’t have to pay any import duty on them.

What do you mean by “static” exactly? It could be referring to an array that doesn’t change size. Or the contents are read-only. Or do you mean C/C++ static linking? Or something else?

In C, C++ and CUDA I use constant fixed-size arrays with lookup tables of specialized data all the time. I also use small arrays to hold temporary results that need to get first collected, and then sorted or processed together. Seems like very common in C++, especially embedded, game, and GPU programming. I’d love to hear about why static arrays seem uncommon in your world.

I'm sorry, I should have been clear. The 'certainty of punishment' bit should be understood as a probability. The gist of it is that a person considering criminal behavior isn't worried about the severity of the punishment `S` in isolation, but also the likelihood (read: 'certainty') `C` thereof. Simplistically the deterrence model is `C*S`. An extremely severe punishment (execution!) with zero or effectively zero chance of getting caught provides no deterrence. There's more to it - for example doubling severity does not double deterrence in general - but that's the gist of it.

My little thought experiment supposes a person who is drunk evaluates, before deciding to get in the car, the potential outcomes of drunk drive, while entirely convinced they won't harm someone. (I suspect most drunk drives are entirely convinced they won't harm someone, although it is obvious to anybody else there is at least a _chance_ they will.) Today, getting caught with whatever nonzero probability results in a punishment of some severity. By the model we're assuming above, this produces a nonzero amount of deterrence. If we shift away from punishing drunk drivers, the severity drops to zero. If a drunk's options are to call for a ride from the bar or try to drive home, and getting caught at the latter only mean they'll have to call for a ride from some location between the bar and home, driving is the rational choice after all, _so long as they are convinced they won't hurt anybody_.

I was being too circumspect.
The point of my scenario is to highlight that decriminalizing drunk driving will likely increase the amount of drunk driving, at least among the population of drunk drivers who are overconfident in their abilities. That in turn will increase the danger drunk drivers present to the rest of us.

I gather you think reaction is morally preferable to prevention in such cases. Is that a fair assertion? In general, I bet we agree there is some amount of risk to myself that I must tolerate to afford others their freedoms, and have just landed at different risk tolerances. I try to take need into account when drawing my line in the sand. "Does anybody _need_ to drive drunk?". Since it's a situation drunk drivers make for themselves I'm happy to punish it. How do you draw your line?

I've been on a train twice in the last ten years.

On the one ride, it was hot so it expected to arrive about 45 minutes late. You can't go full speed on hot tracks.

On the same ride, there was construction, so we sat and waited for about 45 minutes in the middle of no where, in the dark. It was long enough they told us to just let our kids run around and brought the snack cart around for free.

That's a lot of delay for a 3.5h ride.

Everyone is comparing it to the M series Macbooks, but modern Macbooks really can't run Linux well, if at all. (It was comedy trying to install Linux on my touchbar mac, obviously the touchbar wasn't working and without that you don't have function keys, which many linux installers use!) You should compare it to other Windows/generic laptops.

I switched away from a macbook after the 3rd time my OS decided to "relocate" all my desktop files without asking me, and after all the fans would turn on after a reboot for 5 minutes.

There's a joke about the "year of the Linux desktop", but honestly I don't know what everyone's waiting for. Unless you're using software that doesn't run on Linux (which is getting more and more rare every year), it's ready! And I've run gnome-shell, i3, sway, and pantheon on a Framework laptop without issue. Well, the battery life doesn't compare to a new Macbook. I'm still working on that.

How about the threshold for publishability is that two independent groups come up with the same conclusion? So you have to partner with another team somewhere else in the world in order to get published, and then you get joint credit.
I wonder how much of that is due to societal demands. With work demands, commuting, household chores, errands, etc., I can clearly see how people struggle to find the time, energy, or desire to better their lives.

I'll admit, I should be better about my diet and exercise too. However, I am plagued with the same issues of lack of energy and motivation to better my life and I also have a "mental disorder" I was born with. I prefer to call it a 'societal incompatibility' or 'evolutionary maladaptation' -- much like an appendix which may have once served a more important purpose many moons ago, but tends to only cause issues in today's time.
