> You are betting that patient engagement in their own health will be high, particularly for the high cost, at risk patients. This has been historically proven not to be the case.

The commonest reason for transplanted organ failure is that the patient isn't compliant with medication.

This happens in UK (free surgery, free meds) and US (expensive surgery, expensive meds).

This reminds me a lot of GOAL, the in-house videogame development language that we used to use at Naughty Dog. It had a LISP syntax and feel - complete with awesome metaprogramming and on-the-fly relinking - but the runtime was much closer to a low-level C/C++. In fact, you could even drop into MIPS asm in the middle of a function.

Coming from a mostly C/C++ background, it was an eye-opening experience, and I'm definitely a fan of languages other than C for performant code.
You might find Norman J Wildebergers Youtube videos on the subject interesting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REeaT2mWj6Y He argues quite convincingly that real numbers like pi shouldn't be seen as numbers and that infinity does not exist. It's very fascinating reasoning to listen to even if you don't agree with all of it.

We have them. They are constantly overruled. Gitmo, for example, is in direct violation of nearly all of them.

If we allow people to vote directly on bills, the constitutionality remains enforced, which means the founders would be happy and Socrates would be safe. The Nazi party was representative, that wasn't direct democracy.

You put out a lot of arguments but none of them showed very much thought.

On Windows machine it's pretty much impossible not to. Try installing Windows XP on a virtual box without any firewall setup, and within a day(or even hour) you will get infected. Windows Defender is fairly reliable as far as I've heard, but I'd be happier knowing that someone more qualified who specifically does that for a living is looking over.

Also, when you have non-tech-savvy families you generally want to just get a cover-multiple-pc-at-a-license deals, just because it saves you a lot of hassles.
>Claiming that it means "I am a Jelly Donut" is not false

In the context it's presented, I think it would have to actually mean jelly donut, not be a nickname. And such a thing is in fact false.
Windows, I use the free microsoft security essentials. Linux, none.
Mozilla uses Akamai as their CDN. As big as Mozilla is, a Firefox release probably is not even visible on a bandwidth graph.
I agree. So how do you break such an oligopolistic system? Maybe by introducing the one thing it tries to hide in order to stay alive: radical price transparency. At the very bottom are the patients who search for care and primary care givers, let's include surgery centers for large but rare tickets. If you connect both fundamental entities directly, you create a brutally and publicly transparent market place where competition, innovation and price pressure could force the market to first just slightly shift but eventually see falling costs because some will offer better prices at higher quality. Without such an open platform though, I don't see how any regulation or for that matter functional changes in the technological landscape will make any big impact.

Defaulting to the stub is probably a security decision, so you don't end up installing the same old security holes every time you run an out-of-date installer. But they could probably make the full install easier to find for people who want it.
> "Blacks weren't seen as equals and without harassment just because slavery became illegal and they could vote. Homosexuality is legal, but again, individuals don't harass based on legal status."

When blacks became legal equals it went a long way towards their being considered cultural equals throughout society. The underlying motives for harassment may not be due to someone's legal status, but the legally endowing someone with less rights because of their race/sex/orientation/etc gives a lot of ammo to people who want to harass them.

> "Your wife can mandate health care when you are otherwise incapable. You have 7 wives. Who has final say."

Unless otherwise specified, the first wife could have final say. Or the last. Any consistent system would work here. Important decisions about your health and property should really be decided and specified in advance by the individual.

> "You get a divorce from one wife. What does she get?"

<value of assets subject to forfeiture due to divorce>/<number of wives pre-divorce> seems reasonable. These are not hard problems. Courts exist to settle exactly these issues.

The parent comment expressed a moral principle that it is wrong for any government to usurp your authority to form relationships according to your own desires or to legally recognize or withhold legal recognition (where necessary) from relationships in which it has no business. You are looking at implementation details and saying that because a change of this magnitude causes some practical problems (which would not be surprising) the moral premise is flawed.
Microsoft security essentials is what I use. Primarily because I have been using it on my older windows 7 machine.

I like this trend toward wide-spectrum languages. For other recent examples, see Terra and Nimrod (I realize Nimrod has been around for a while, but seems like it's recently gaining significant popularity).

It's nice how closely languages like Python and Lua and integrated C through their various FFIs (particularly Luajit's FFI), but it's still a huge pain in the ass to continuously context switch between languages whenever you have to drop down and do something low-level, or to improve performance. I hope at least one of these languages catches on in the wider programming community so I'll have a chance to use it in "real world" programming.
This seems incredibly underpriced. Make it $50 and target office parties, add another $50-100 for catered cupcakes and they'd make a ton of money for shelters.
Oh, so it's not only a deployment mechanism, but an actual runtime "VM".

What does it add over linux containers?
My existing Windows machines run ESET but I'm considering not for my new Win8 machine.

I love ESET and have found it finds and stops viruses missed by others. However I found that the built in AV with Win8 was finding things that ESET missed.

This leads me to believe that the stock AV is sufficient, and running an additional malware scanner periodically will give me the best results.

In the US, the risks from bribery outweigh the rewards.

In India, if you don't bribe, you may not get your water turned back on. And if you don't accept the bribe, you may not be able to put food on the table because your low salary implicitly expects you to take the bribe. In that sense, a bribe is more of a tip.

I have heard plenty of stories of people in India being pulled over by cops only to slow down the car, roll down the window and slip a bill equivalent to $1-$4 without ever stopping the car.
> Better at being both a functional and object oriented language?

Well that's both subjective and ambiguous (subjective in the evaluation of quality in each area, and ambiguous because the meaning of "better at a and b" can be interpreted in a number of ways, such as max by min(a,b), max by average(a,b), etc.

But, given that, I'd say that several of the listed languages are better at "being both a functional and object oriented language" than JavaScript, including Scala and Ruby.
I think if you really boil it down the most fundamental problem with medicine in the USA is there are no prices. There is no functioning market for products and services because everything is structured to insulate customers up-front from prices.

Everybody gets charged differently. Everybody ends up paying different amounts for the same thing. The numbers on bills seem to come out of an after the fact lottery ball mixer.

Probably the best reform would have been to eliminate the tax deductibility of insurance benefits. A much larger fraction of people would choose high deductible plans and be price sensitive shoppers, imposing some market discipline on the system. But of course obamacare is a move in exactly the opposite direction.
As I'm a man I only own one coat. Your entire app would just be;

Somehow you have convinced yourself that everybody has to deal with an HOA (and that all of them are nightmares). I own two houses and neither have an HOA. When I was house shopping a couple years ago, I think maybe 1 in 5 that we looked at had an HOA.

Not me personally. I can easily check the temperature on my phone and figure out the clothes i need. However, an interesting service would be to warn the user once outside but with improper clothing. So if i did not check the weather and got out wearing T-shirts in 30 degrees F, then warn me. may be a pop-up on my phone ? I might buy that app for $0.99 on the appstore.

No. My knowledge might be a bit dated, but as far as I know, there is nothing good. But you also don't need realtime Antivirus software for Linux, there still are no real active viruses for Linux.

The scanner for detecting windows-virus while using Linux were said to be ok (ClamAV, I think).
Even if you're tech savvy it's still fairly easy to get infected by a trojan on a hijacked site. I use ff/chrome and avast! on Windows, which seems to be sufficient protection.

Goldman Pushes Junior Investment Bankers to Take Weekends Off
Something people don't like to acknowledge in these arguments is that for every "Nimrod (Programming Language)" whose inclusion into WP would be harmless or even beneficial, there are 100 bullshit spam company promotion pages lawyering the rules of the site to keep their site bolted to the top of Google for some term they invented.

That's a legitimate concern and I don't claim to have all the answers for all the problems that face Wikipedia. But I remain convinced that "context matters" and that, in context, Nimrod is notable enough that it should be in Wikipedia. Finding a way to reflect that distinction to the satisfaction of all parties involved is an open problem, granted.

The concept of PortableApps has been simply amazing! (FWIW, I donate to this project too, it's been really worthwhile having the platform).

I have begun to adopt this mechanism for some of my
software maintenance strategy. Nowadays, I test the latest version of the updated "PortableApp" on my local copy on my machine first, and if all works well post-update, I ask others to choose the update. Else I simply tell them to uncheck the update until I can confirm that existing functionality remains unbroken. :)
Uh, no. He specifically mentioned that running in the browser is why JS is so widely used, even though the language itself is worse than alternatives.

>The single redeeming feature of JS is that it's implemented in all current browsers. If it wasn't for that fact I doubt anyone would have cared much.

>Everything it can do another language can do better, except run in a browser

That's the exact opposite of dismissing a key aspect of Javascript's value, that's explicitly acknowledging it.
Why 46% of tablet users won't give you a second chance
They can file a complaint called a Bivens action seeking damages for violations of their Constitutional rights. However, even the analogous statute for when state police violate your rights (42 USC § 1983) is very difficult to win because, among other reasons, of a doctrine known as qualified immunity. A Bivens action is even harder to win, and under circumstances like these, I'd feel comfortable saying impossible.

Maher Arar lost, José Padilla lost, Shafiq Rasul lost, Arkan Ali lost, Abdul Al-Janko will lose. It's a remedy that exists only in theory. Similarly other courts have suggested that the torturers could be criminally tried. If you believe that will ever happen, I have a very nice bridge to sell you.

That paper by David Hand is good, I had forgotten it. (Even though I presented it to a reading group at my work...).

He points out a lot of ways the standard "supervised learning, iid feature vectors, moderate dimensionality, moderate n" problem setting is a theoretical construct that does not encompass enough of the real-world problem setting. And he highlights the fact that an epsilon improvement in error rate is not that remarkable.

So, I agree that his paper was smart as a critique of a certain culture within ML practice (and publications) of totally eliminating all problem context, and just saying "Give me a bag of labeled feature vectors -- I will build a classifier with an error rate better than your classifier, and publish the result."

But that is largely a straw man -- critiquing ML hackery is worthwhile and salutary, but it's going after small game. The random forest, support vector machine, and deep learning approaches should have been developed in Statistics. Why weren't they?
Being part of AV beta programs is a great way to have reliable AV without the need of purchasing licenses every year. I'am myself part of F-Secure beta programme, which I use to protect my Windows. Despite of few crashes with their banking protection, I feel safe to say that beta programs are as protective as any stable builds.
I'm a Mac guy, but come on. Windows XP is 12 years old. That's hardly a fair test. I haven't seen reports of Windows 7/8 machines getting rapidly infected like XP did.

I think you can be assured that the Windows Defender team does antivirus stuff for a living, just as much as AV vendors do.
Maybe the reason right now this is where the money is because consumers demand more of the capabilities that Javascript can give them, not because some overlords decided this was going to finally get those lazy programmers.

Personally, I enjoy writing in Javascript a lot. I like how it's more functional than other mainstream languages. And if we're going to debate style, that's great, but distribution just isn't a problem of Javascript, instead, one if its greater strengths.
By [other] I assume they mean [Android], since that's the 4th biggest mainstream OS to sport modern antivirus software.
