Yes, there was lots of sharding across hospitals (although it wasn't executed perfectly). Wikipedia has some good info. About 60 people died and almost 900 were injured, over 400 of whom had gunshot or shrapnel wounds.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Las_Vegas_shooting#Victim...

> Approximately 867 people were injured, at least 413 of them with gunshot wounds or shrapnel injuries. In the aftermath, many victims were transported to area hospitals, which included University Medical Center of Southern Nevada, Sunrise Hospital & Medical Center, and at least one of the six hospitals of Valley Health System. Sunrise Hospital treated the largest portion of the wounded: 199 patients, 150 of whom arrived within about 40 minutes.[80] University Medical Center treated 104 patients. Additionally, six victims sought medical treatment in Southern California; UC Irvine Medical Center treated four and Loma Linda University Medical Center treated two. Many victims of the shooting required blood transfusions, which totaled 499 components in the first 24 hours of treatment. This blood was rapidly replaced by available blood from local and national blood banks.

>University Medical Center, the Level I trauma center in Las Vegas, was difficult to access for the more than 50 percent of patients transported by private vehicles because Interstate 15, the most direct route from the shooting location, was closed to the public. Also, an erroneous emergency services announcement made one hour after the shooting reported UMC had reached capacity and was on diversion. This confusion persisted for several hours and led to most patients being transported to Sunrise, a Level II trauma center.

I will say that their list of reasons is deeply flawed.

> Human beings can't read a bar code.

- they can, and more importantly they almost never have to

> A lot of our product comes from cottage industries in Asia that couldn't mark their goods with bar codes if they tried.

- They can be added at the store/warehouse level, not every product needs one, and I've never seen a store that worked entirely on bar codes 100% of the time anyway.

> Inventory control by computer is not as accurate as you think.

- This assumes what I think, and it only needs to be more accurate than your current method. If it actually weren't more accurate, I don't think they'd have to fall back on "as you think" in their argument.

> Employees take more pride in their work when they know they are in charge, not some faceless machine.

- this doesn't even make sense.

> Customer service is better.

- questionable, but not impossible to support

> The time savings at check-out is minimal — and easily squandered.

- possible, but time savings at checkout is only one benefit.

- Reprogramming the computer for sales would take a huge effort in our case, because we put so many individual items on sale each week.

- It would take effort, but stores with much more inventory manage it just fine, even when new products are constantly coming in and sales are weekly.

> Twenty million dollars is a lot of money.

- I have no idea from the article what this is in reference to. Maybe the amount it would take for them to make the the switch? It's hard to say how much money it would save them so it's fair to say cost is a concern. I will say that over a long enough time period, it'd probably save more than it costs.

None of this means that concern over "the mark of the beast" is really the reason, but the reasons they gave don't make a lot of sense either. It could just as easily be that poor record keeping and manual entry at the register allow them commit fraud or something.

I suspect that if the mark of the beast plays any role at all, it's that no having barcodes panders to the christian customer base they've always heavily pandered to. Even just the rumor is basically viral marketing for them to that crowd.
Many experts will pick RHEL over OpenBSD yes. It's impossible to isolate a single reason; generally you want a server to do something. (I guess if you're talking about SSH only then maybe you want it as a bastion host? In my experience people will generally use the same OS as their other servers though; the risk of misconfiguring an unfamiliar operating system outweighs any security improvement from picking one or the other)

Can we assume that if Microsoft paid Apple to be the default search engine in iOS instead of Google then Microsoft would have the same market power as Google. (Without sufficient market power, making a case like this one against Google is not possible)

HN commenter #1:

> Why not just stop making the anti-competitive payments and terminate the agreements. Money saved. Problem solved.

"It's only solved if nobody does it. If Google stops those payments unilaterally MS would just make a slightly cheaper deal with Apple.."

HN commenter #2:

"It's no longer a competitive market. MS can lowball like crazy now"

HN commenter #3:

"I think the point is that if Google is not allowed to make such payments, neither is Microsoft (unless they want to risk the same lawsuit against them)."
Marketing in a space like phones where Apple is trying desperately to differentiate is intrinsically tied to product design.

There is a fascinating memoir called Ghost Boy. In it, a young man describes how he fell into a coma as a boy and awoke around 14 years old. However, upon awakening, he did not have control of his body. It was many more years before an aide suspected he was conscious.

His story is quite inspiring and well worth the read.
Can it guess their weight or body count? Lol
I had a son in the last year. I wanted to be a young dad around 26 but had him at 36. The turning point to having him was when my wife’s friends started having kids. After having a kid she realized how much we love having him. But a delay in that is that the 20s are a critical period for both sexes to built their career. Even though I wanted to be a young dad I did not want her to give up her career over it. Even as a dad who tries to take on a bunch of workload the amount of work that goes to the mother is just significantly higher than the dad.

But as a corollary to delaying having kids is that biologically we are not made to have kids so late and my wife and her friends have all experienced complications dues to it.
I'm a big fan of spatial grid hashes to simplify situations like this. Nice to see other approaches. Iterative Insertion sorting would be easier to port to a compute shader than a spatial grid hash, so maybe this method is better if we get into the millions of objects range?

Did you read the article. It isn't actually about software, but how to build software businesses.

John Carmack is an absolute legend in multiple ways, but Parker Conrad makes some good points here regarding how to organize a business.

I don't take what he says as gospel, but it may fit in certain situations where you're taking on incumbents, or where there are many players focused on just the small SaSS tools.

At the moment, all github services seem to be restored, and the github status indicates that the problem is still ongoing. I don't think it's related to the SLA, but rather to the monitoring, which is not live. There are a few minutes of delay.

I used to work at a company with very draconian policies. Whenever I needed to update some code on a public GitHub repository, I would just push to a remote that was a flash drive. Plug it in my machine at home, pull from that remote, push to origin.

I also had to setup a bidirectional mirror back when bandwidth to some countries was restricted. We would push and pull as normal, and a job would keep our mainline in sync.

It is sad that most organizations forget that git is distributed by nature. We often get requests to setup VPNs and all sorts of craziness, when a simple push to a bare mirror would suffice. You don't even need anything running, other than SSH.
How about this. For criminal behaviour which crosses a certain $ threshold (as in, what size of fine is levied by the courts/fed authorities), the entire remuneration given to anyone who served on the board of directors is considered forfeit, and used to pay the fine. That means seizing secondary properties from current or ex directors, and other assets.

Once that pool is exhausted, then you ding the shareholders (via draining the company's own coffers).

Sure, this would give rise to some schemes of "how do I squirrel away my bonuses, in case they come after me tomorrow", but hubris & the unpredictability of this would still lead to some big, eye watering examples. Which would have the necessary deterrent effect.

And yes, this WOULD be justice. Those who did the wrong, and profited from it, SHOULD pay.
makes sense, thanks.

In the past I had heard of "locked-in syndrome"[0] which seemed quite nightmarish to me, but I hadn't thought of the possibility of being "completely unresponsive" and still remaining conscious, perhaps living for years and years like this. Scary stuff :-|

Because it's a stupid low entropy key put in front of a service that you should be using MUCH harder keys on instead of passwords as of circa the 90s.

You're wanting to add a screen door on a sub, and its just a feel good option for those who don't understand the math involved.

The proper solution is to stop using passwords and use keys or proper cert auth.
Let's expand that. Let's name your hypothetical person, Bob. He's living on the edge financially, and decides to go without insurance.

Let's bring in another person, Alice. Alice is also not in great financial shape. But Alice is able to pay for insurance and follows all the rules. Alice has a small amount of savings, go Alice!

One day, Bob hits Alice. It causes medical issues for Alice. Alice might have insurance, but it's potentially still expensive for Alice. Because of her injuries she can't work for a few weeks. She works hourly, so now loses wages. Luckily with FMLA she won't necessarily lose her job, but she needed every paycheck. But it doesn't really matter, because her car is now gone. She can't drive to work anymore. She can't drive to groceries. She can't afford a car, as a huge chunk her savings went to cover those medical bills and missed paychecks. She's pretty SOL huh.

Sounds like we need to let Bob off the hook for inflicting all this on Alice. After all, he needed to drive without insurance.

No. We should just make it possible so Bob didn't need to drive in the first place instead of excusing his choice to still drive when he couldn't really afford it. We should structure the incentives so Bob doesn't want to drive if he can't afford it.

People driving without insurance ruin lives like Alice's all the time.
I don’t know enough about these sorts of trials but only having 5 participants with mild depression or worse in the actual trial with the vinegar “treatment” seems too low to draw many conclusions. Am I incorrect?

Any low viscosity liquid is a lubricant including water, or any small enough solids. WD40 is a lubricant, but a very poor one for folks who have not discovered silicone spray lubricant. That said if all I had was an old can of WD40, I would use it.

The funny thing is where I live you can buy “WD40 Lubricant” (silicone).

I think many people buy WD40 because, unconsciously or not, the smell brings back memories.
Interestingly by comparison ₤10 8s. 4d was around 14 days work (using the 1752 Massachusetts wage for agricultural workers from [1], which is the earliest I could find).

Now the current minimum agricultural is Massachusetts is $8/hour. $8 * 8 * 14 = $896, which is pretty close to that $851 number (especially considering that was 1735 and I'm using 1752 wages).

Trouble is, Python is a great stack for communicating with networked instrumentation - except when asyncio gets involved. And, talking with devices over a network is a picture-perfect use case for asyncio.

My last attempt was "tworoutines" [1], which tried to marry async and sync functions under a common wrapper. At the time I wrote it, it was clear tworoutines ran contrary to the direction Python was taking asyncio. Without nest_asyncio [2], It was fairly brittle and has become more brittle over time. The primary developer for nest_asyncio unfortunately passed away earlier this year.

There is a long discussion here [3, 4], including representation from Python higher-ups as well as other people writing instrumentation/science software. In other words, it's not just us.

> Don't you then have soap residue on your glasses, plates, and cutlery?

Maybe a little, if the soap somehow stuck to it and didn't slide off while it was drying. But never enough to notice (at least, I never heard of anyone noticing - even foreigners who are horrified at British washing up have always talked about being grossed out by it rather than actually tasting anything).

Unfortunately, Grok is not even Open Output, nor is Mistral’s platform or DeepSeek’s. None of them can be used for work (mistral with a fancy commercial license, but you gotta jump through hoops)

It's not an option: I can't block ads on it with uBO and Firefox. Also, I can't connect it by USB to my Linux machine and download photos. You also forgot about the expandable storage. The lack of headphone jack also sucks.

>It also feels nice to give my money to a company that doesn't shove ads down my throat.

That's funny, because you're giving money to a company that actively wants to prevent you from blocking ads on, for instance YouTube, by restricting your app and browser choices. Meanwhile I can install any app I want on my Android phone, including apps Google won't allow on the Play store such as SmartTube.

Massive plus for sure. Even better than cutting a decade of research to less than a year for SARS-CoV-2 because most of the lessons learned from SARS-CoV turned out to apply, because in this case the existing vaccines are already tried and effective (and presumably the new clade is not different enough to change that in any significant way).
A perspective I've read on this (Granted, this was at least 5 years ago) was that it was paradoxically much harder to compromise a Google account than it is to hijack a domain from many registrars. I read an account by someone who had a custom domain and the attacker had social-engineered the registrar into allowing him access, then he proceeded to update the MX, directing the email into the attacker's server.

This probably varies from one registrar to the next, and hopefully all have stepped up their game somewhat since that time, but it left an impression on me and caused me to update a lot of my accounts to my Gmail. Obviously, nobody is going to be able to call into a customer service desk and talk them into updating the gmail.com MX record, so for someone to illicitly gain access to mail sent to <me>@gmail.com either I have to be pwned myself (leaked a credential somehow) or there has to be a global 0-day exploit affecting it. In the latter case I am personally willing to bet that mine would not be the first one (or even in the top 10 million) accounts that the hackers would try, so I sleep pretty well.
Of course I’m excited, but on further thought I wonder whether this could be set up better. As far as I understand it a MegaGrant is just a bunch of money, which AltStore can freely use and they decided to use it to cover Apple’s excessive fee.

Had Epic pledged to pay the fee, they would have had a good reason to fight it (which, as far as I understand, they want to anyway).

I’m still waiting for legal exchanges over both notarization and the fee.
>I can easily imagine that skipping all the EMR integration and paperwork and just taking the pictures and having someone stand in the room and read the images would have gotten that 4x throughput improvement

Yes. But 45 minutes later when someone wants to see the images ‘on that guy with the broken leg’ it becomes a nightmare. You need some labelling and a documentation system, and a unique identifier for each patient is a bare minimum. Using the RIS and creating an order isn’t that slow, and quickly becomes a time saver once you’ve got several patients.
The frontend library should be the smallest of your concerns, unless you decide to use none.
Used to work ops at AWS. I don't know if it's still the case but it required VERY HIGH management approval to actually flip any lights on their "status page" (likely it was referenced in some way for SLAs and refunding customers).

That's fair. Get something working > Doing it right/perfectly the first time, most of the time.

That being said, you should be able to have enough awareness to avoid anything particularly egregious - eg. avoid things that you would never want in a final product anyway in the first place. I guess we probably agree on that when you say standard parts etc.
Huh? It's absolutely the norm in the USA. There's no real driver training or testing there at all.
This is not exactly true; the system _used_ to have a geographic component but SSNs issued since 2011 are random.

(Granted, most people here with an SSN should be older than that.)
It does get better when digital, but there is more to it than one might think when a good tech does it all in a few seconds and a couple of clicks. Positioning and adapting exposures isn’t always straightforward.

In terms of tracking imaging, you have to be able to track images back to a patient, and something identifying images needs to relate back. It’s a disaster otherwise and a complete waste of time. That ‘emergency patient’ function isn’t that helpful when it’s completely anonymous and there are several cases.

I’ve been a PACS admin for a brief time, and have seen enough to get twitchy.

Certainly not. Whatever gave you such a bizarre impression?

I'm strongly implying that I'm not particularly happy about this being an orthopox virus of significant lethality, despite that circumstance meaning it's reasonably well-researched.
For sure.

And the most critical stuff is quick. I’m sure most techs could knock off a chest X-ray in 2 minutes, repeatedly.

As a student and doing all the paperwork correctly, I did 125 chest X-rays in a dedicated chest room in an 8 hour shift. That’s a 4 minute turn around.

However, all the patients were walking and talking. This makes a massive difference.

I failed the module on chest x-rays on first submission. I was supposed to log 120 over 3 years, showing progression.

Not enter 120+ from a single day. Resubmission was just paperwork, so not a big deal.
You should bother reading what you're replying to, because emissions are in fact decreasing... It's not simply the rate of increase

Will that be sustained? We'll soon see, but let's not be ignorant of the progress being made
Wow, this is actually really cool and absolutely something I find value in. The integration was smooth and data generation was quick. Previously used Mockaroo but that shoots out an excel sheet which just adds additional steps to getting the data into Salesforce whereas this was seamless.

My favorite example of conventional ignorance: some guy was traveling on a plane the girl sitting next to him asked him whether there was wifi available so she could browse the internet. This was about 20 years ago... and the guy was convinced that the girl was an idiot. "We were flying in the middle of nowhere, 20000 feet in the air, and this girl is asking me whether we have wifi?? Some people have no common sense!" Turns out there's a fine line between being an idiot and being ahead of your time.
Yeah, but maybe that's the maximum range when conditions are best. Much of the time, if there's an equipment problem called for in that episode, there's some issue with the planet's atmosphere ("electromagnetic storm" or similar) which causes trouble with the transporters.
