How does HIPAA compare to FERPA?

My understanding is that FERPA is similar to HIPAA, except for college scores and enrollment information instead of medical records.

But there’s a rule in FERPA where you explicitly can’t leave a stack of exams and let students pick them, because it exposes students to others’ scores. Another rule is that you can’t associate a students exam with their student ID even if it’s a sequence of numbers, because the id is public information, but you wouldn’t expect someone to remember someone else’s id.

(I specifically remember some professors not following the exam rule, probably because they didn’t know or perhaps it didn’t exist yet. I don’t know if anything happened to them but I suspect if anything, they were simply asked to not do that in the future.)

Low fat means avocados, nuts, and olive oil, in moderate amounts.

The claim that "Low Sugar is Uniformly Good" is often misunderstood to indict all sources of sugar, including fruits and vegetables, which is not accurate from a nutritional standpoint.

The sugar found in whole fruits and vegetables is not the same as the added sugars or refined sugars found in processed foods. Fruits and vegetables are whole foods that contain a variety of essential nutrients like vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants.

- Whole Foods: fruits and veggies offer essential nutrients, unlike added or refined sugars

- Fiber: the fiber in these foods slows sugar absorption, moderating blood sugar spikes, aids in digestion, and supports heart health by lowering cholesterol

- Nutrient Density: fruits and veggies provide a lot of nutritional value for relatively few calories

- Metabolic Health: eating fruits and vegetables is linked to better metabolic health, including improved blood sugar control, reduced blood pressure, and lower levels of blood lipids

- Chronic Diseases: these foods reduce the risk of diseases like heart disease, hypertension, and certain types of cancer

The article discusses seeding life at a galactic scale, which is beyond our sun. At some point you’re talking about intergalactic space. Further, the expansion of space and the necessity of a universal heat death is a theory, and is in no way proven.
graalpy does not fully support C extensions and will have just as hard a time extending support as anyone else. maybe even the hardest because they're plumbing through the JVM which, notoriously, has bad C FFI (at least until recently?).
Or country! That is the US, and US corporate culture can be very different (read: far more predatory) than the european.
My understanding is that they are being required by the FCC to break these fees out, though someone else on the thread claims otherwise and for all I know is correct. Either way: hiding the fees and raising their rates does the opposite of what people want from this FCC ruling!

Axon hosted an AI meeting in Seattle recently. Their office was a bit...much. There were these weird spaceship-looking doors that opened to the office itself and the theme was very much "you are in a scifi space ship". I didn't get any vibes that this would be a place wherein you'd have to be tased, though. Bad if true.
(Former Amazon) Tenets in general, including the LPs, are valuable as a common decision-making framework. Amazon is a leader in laying those out there for all to read (including on their public website). People would frequently refer to the LPs in resolving difficult debates, and I valued them.

Amazon is Amazon because it gets things done. Certainly many at Amazon circa 2000s thought AWS was an incredible boondoggle and risk. "We sell books, why the hell would we sink capital into renting servers." Surely those same people disagreed and committed. Others have probably disagreed and committed to ideas that did prove to be terrible. But you increase your success rate by increasing your attempt rate... and nothing interesting happens at a stand still.
Loyalty is a 2 way street. Otherwise it's just slavery.
Had an emergency room visit for a somewhat bloody mishap with my son (he's ok.) The resident texted the on call surgeon pictures of the problem from his personal phone to determine if the surgeon should come in for a surgery. The pictures I saw on his phone of other patients as he set up the text were a hellscape of blood and gore!
Oh! Thank you. They phrased that really badly. "You'll be the 5 billionth oldest person" would've been a lot clearer.

Or 5 billionth youngest, whatever lol
Yes. They took the position that their non-compete (and our general "we agree to clinic practices") with their doc took precedence over our HIPAA rights, which NY... disabused them of.
I tend to agree; explicit demands for "loyalty" is usually a strong proxy for a mobster mentality.

That being said, I know more than a few companies that "encourage" (or at least explicitly approve of) employees getting tattoos, and it's always struck me as a significant red flag. It's usually tied to some kind of expression of loyalty.

>US government debt is only safe in that it guarantees a small loss.

Yes, that is what safe means. Risk and reward. Reward without risk is simply expanding the supply of money, aka inflation, aka reduced purchasing power of the currency.

>Suppose the S&P collectively borrowed 10 trillion dollars doing this. Each company that takes part is as you say a worse choice, but the overall market is now inflated with this money so everything becomes a worse investment simultaneously. Which then sends some money back to the original companies who issued dividends/ buybacks with borrowed money.

If everyone did it, then it is not a "worse" investment, it is simply keeping up with the reduction of the currency's purchasing power (e.g. all businesses taking advantage of covid stimulus). But it is a nonsensical premise anyway, since there are insufficient lenders to lend the S&P $10T, and the limited number of lenders will, on average, do due diligence when lending, even to S&P companies.

Anyway, back to the point was hand, which was refuting yborg's claim that business leaders can just borrow willy nilly and pay themselves via gains in stock price via buying back shares.

The only situation this happens is when the business has large stockpiles of cash saved abroad, and so instead of bringing it into the US and having to pay taxes, they are able to borrow money at near 0% interest rates because lenders know they have such huge stockpiles of cash abroad and healthy cash flows. Delaying tax liabilities is simply the logical thing to do when the government has set fiscal policy such that you can find lenders to lend to you at near 0% interest.

I always liked C#’s null coalescing operator ?? (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-ref...). Rather than changing if/else fundamentally, I would prefer something along the lines of:

This is very similar to an idea proposed by the late economist William Vickrey. He suggested having an auction for visas, and distributing the revenue generated by the auction evenly between every citizen. This would somewhat align the incentives between citizens and immigrants without introducing feel-good steps like scholarship subsidies.

Realistically, there's not very many Americans who could get become an engineer if only they had a little more scholarship money. Those Americans can mostly get loans to pay for college, then pay off their loans using all the extra money they make now that they're an engineer. If you have any empirical data that contradicts this I'd be interested in seeing it.

I am talking about industry solely, and the time for pushing was 5 years ago and before. I am not saying what would be the ideal outcome, but that at this point anyone running AI workloads will abandon Linux over Nvidia if there is a need to do so.
sure, or meters. These are common projections:

- EPSG:3857 Web Mercator

- EPSG:6933 https://nsidc.org/data/user-resources/help-center/guide-ease...

- UTM

You could just support Web Mercator, if normal or swapped are not valid coordinates, assume Web Mercator and check if they are valid coordinates. If they are swapped it will still be in the general area even if the projection is not exactly matching
I’m not an expert in Python by all means and not going to take any side. I’m just saying that the comments look meaningful and the commenters seem to be open for discussion. It’s definitely not a norm in modern Internet, which is already great.
Exactly, we have moral agency and we should do what’s right.

Most of us in the ‘modern’ world don’t need meat to survive, so why torture and kill billions of sentient beings, destroy habitat & biodiversity and pollute our biosphere so we can enjoy a burger and some cheese?

It’s totally irrational.
> I think the core argument is that distributing a proprietary driver that’s obviously meant to be loaded into the Linux kernel to be useful is distributing a derived work

Whether functional elements needed for interoperability are not covered by copyright (so that a work that seems “derived” through its use of them is not a “derivative work” at all) or whether using them is Fair Use (such that while a work using them might be a derivative work that would, but for Fair Use, require a license, it is nonetheless legal without a license due to Fair Use) seems to be a bit of a mixed bag, but either way using copyright to prevent functional interaction (except when you get into DMCA coverage of technical anti-circumvention measures, which is also part of copyright law, but not really applicable here) seems to be a difficult battle for copyright holders, in US law, at least.

Yes, my point isn’t as much the position of ordering for life, but that we are seeding the galaxy already to spread life in the mechanism being discussed. I think that’s more interesting frankly than the possibility our life was seeded. We know the former is actually happening for a fact. The latter is a possibility.
I've always been leery of taking antibiotics that just wipe my gut clean of bacteria. I have to wonder if the right stuff will re-colonize or not. How would I know? Until I was ill.

For instances that don't need a GPU, this new change will simply not matter. My point is that this new change is unlikely to make Nvidia do anything differently compared to what they are already doing.
The Costs of Europe's GDPR Regime
Those benefits you list require the attendance of all, and sometimes you need to participate with coworkers whether you like it or not.
From the HHS.gov website:

The Privacy Rule permits certain incidental uses and disclosures that occur as a by-product of another permissible or required use or disclosure, as long as the covered entity has applied reasonable safeguards and implemented the minimum necessary standard, where applicable, with respect to the primary use or disclosure. See 45 CFR 164.502(a)(1)(iii). An incidental use or disclosure is a secondary use or disclosure that cannot reasonably be prevented, is limited in nature, and that occurs as a result of another use or disclosure that is permitted by the Rule. However, an incidental use or disclosure is not permitted if it is a by-product of an underlying use or disclosure which violates the Privacy Rule.
certainly, but Christ specifically prayed not to have to through with it (or the ordeal in the garden, depending on your interpretation), when He prayed:

>Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.

And there is further the question of our own suffering: if we're supposed to get some "good" out of it, why not just wave a wand and give us the good without the bad?

I conclude that God lives in a world with rules like you and me, though they are likely quite different.

The P in HIPAA stands for Portability, not Privacy. The primary purpose of HIPAA is not to prevent the sharing of confidential patient data, it is to ENABLE the sharing of confidential patient data with anyone who has the right to see it. The issue is the number of entities who claim that they have right to see the data, and the lack of a mechanism for the individual to prevent their information from being shared.

Should Facebook have a right to access your health data? Your opinion does not matter, they wanted it, and they got it. What about the US Department of Transportation? They maintain the right to access the electronic medical records of any person who falls under their regulation, such as pilots and truck drivers. They have been know to go on fishing expeditions trolling through medical records in search of violations. Search for Operation Safe Pilot. I know several people who have either avoided medical treatment because of this issue, or obtained treatment in a foreign country.
This always strikes me as sort of a straw man. Any serious theological works, even very old ones, deal with these questions. This kind of thing feels to me like a very superficial engagement.

Wow, this is flagged? What was wrong with it, the suggestion we should not be intolerant of others? I will remind you of the paradox of tolerance, which explains why we shouldn’t tolerate intolerance: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

It is an important philosophical principle that is crucial to maintaining a free society.

A low-fat, whole-food, plant-based diet focuses on consuming natural foods primarily from plants, including:

- Fruits: apples, berries, melons, etc.

- Vegetables: leafy greens, bell peppers, carrots, etc.

- Tubers: potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc.

- Whole grains: oats, brown rice, quinoa, whole wheat, etc.

- Legumes: lentils, chickpeas, beans, etc.

In addition to focusing on plant-based foods, this diet also emphasizes the importance of consuming foods that are low in fat and avoiding processed foods that are high in added sugars, salt, and unhealthy fats. Benefits may include improving overall health, losing weight, and reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers.

An overnight stay is for observation not comfort. The hospital wants to gather as many metrics as possible to keep you alive, respond ASAP to issues and dis-chargable to free up room for other sick patients. not give you a hotel bed.
> > I had a student in my class who wrote about being from a "low caste" background.

> as a cultural Westerner, I'd be very loathe to speak much on the topic of the Indian caste system, as [...] I'm certain I lack enough context and background to talk about it without it ending up being an exercise in projecting my own culture's dynamics onto theirs. It's the kind of conversation I think I probably need to do far more listening that talking in.

Depending on the length and depth of that student's essay, the person you're responding to may have done enough listening to at least raise the topic and hear an honest opinion rather than being shut down as colonialist prejudist for merely asking the question

From experience at Facebook: there are extremely good people working on performance and making heroic optimizations. The blog content is real. However, these are necessary precisely because the politics and culture of the organization make it impossible to avoid bloat that accumulates faster than the small minority of perf-conscious folks can improve things.
I recently learnt on HN that some countries don't publish grades to ALL students at once and still can't think why. It's such an amazing gift to be able to see how much everyone got and the academic competition in its most pure form, while removing some awkwardness of getting results of your work (good or bad) early in your life.

People are too focused on hiding results because someone might feel bad.
At this moment only acceptable structure for you, is to give to other people big seller discounts, if they could do large volume sells.

All other models are not viable for you at this time at this market, because you are too weak to struggle.

If you will accept other company to access your internal data, it will be very easy for them to just copy all you do, and then say "you don't need anymore, we could do all this stuff without you".

Even if you technically could copyright your stuff, they will learn how you done it and could very fast repeat all parts as clean room.
I'm mildly ok with this. The cops seem to use these pretty willy nilly for how painful and dangerous they seem. There's a kind of karmic balance in executives suffering the same ordeal that they unleashed into the world. Appeals to my sense of balance.

Life will survive us. I think we think too highly of ourselves.

I don’t think we will end human civilization either though. The fact we could inhabit the moon and eventually mars at all means we could adapt to a inhospitable earth pretty easily. Maybe there will be much fewer of us and we wouldn’t like that life, but our future descendants would know nothing different and would be adapted to that civilization. But in the time spans of geology life will be resilient to whatever we do.

The opening chapter of Underworld is one of the greatest things I have read, I can't even explain it because there's almost nothing like it, it's the literary equivalent of a spectacular movie chase scene. Iirc it was excerpted in the New Yorker years ago, I can't find it now there or anywhere, but it made me buy the book despite having sworn off 800 page American novels. The first chapter was still great, but I gave up in boredom ~30 pages later in boredom and have not read another word by him.

It would probably be beneficial if someone could explain what I am missing, or what I should read by him instead, because it just can't end like this.

... You can read most of it here[1], probably doesn't have the same impact missing the first few pages, but maybe get a flavor of what he's doing it. I don't know what the correct analogy is, but it's definitely something cinematic.

The study they so heavily cite completely removes meat eating from the equation and supplements the US's need for meat with alternative methods in every scenario. It's obvious that, with such a drastic change, the change in emissions would be minimal, since many of these industries that would be replaced would have been the most optimal industries for these products. But if we consider instead, that meat can still be consumed instrumentally, for required nutritional needs, or perhaps even omit some of those needs entirely; we could end up in a scenario much better off than 2.6% reduction of emissions. So simply taking 10% of the proposed reduction of emissions won't cut it. It's really lazy, as the study cannot account for that in its current form.

Not to mention that "green water" sounds like the most invented term I've ever heard. Like, c'mon, rain water doesn't grow on trees, whatever you don't use goes back into the ecosystem. So of course using it would be more impactful than not.

>Terrible sysadmin here.

Heh, yeah :) But they call him a moderator around here.

>I don’t understand the downvotes?

Neither does anyone else, usually, except the downvoters and their tribe :) But they think everyone else should think like them, so they downvote those who do not.

Actually, I do understand, or think I do. People are being lazy, by downvoting as a quick fly-by reflex action, instead of spending even a little time thoughtfully commenting - at least, many of them seem to be doing that.
Not really, it's an apples-to-oranges comparison. If you ran the same distributed algorithm on a single core you wouldn't see the same speed improvements. These chips are ridiculously efficient because they need far fewer gates to accomplish the same purpose if you have programmed to them specifically. Just like you couldn't simulate a GPU for the same power budget on a CPU. The loss of generality is more than made up for by the increase in efficiency. This is very similar in that respect, but with the caveat that a GPU is even more specialized and so even more efficient.

Imagine what kind of performance you could get out of hardware that is task specific. That's why for instance crypto mining went through a very rapid set of iterations: CPU->GPU->ASIC in a matter of a few years with an extremely brief blip of programmable hardware somewhere in there as well (FPGA based miners, approximately 2013).

Any loss of generality will result in efficiency and vice versa, the question is whether or not it is economically feasible and there are different points on that line that have resulted in marketable (and profitable) products. But there are also plenty of wrecks.
