How does 'simple average of 50%', 'average of 70% receiving recommended acute care' and '60% received recommended chronic care' somehow mean 'not even close to 50%'? They're all 50% or higher.

Also, there is a difference between 'not the best standards' and 'not evidence-based medicine'. What might have been the best standard when the doctor trained in 1980, gained from evidence, might have developed further. The doctor is still performing due to their evidence-based training; it's just not current best practises.

> Much as food production is an alternative to exporting water

There's only very little water in exported food, so as long as you're not using non-replenishable sources (like fossil water) or limited sources (like rivers) for food production, the amount of water that is actually exported is negligibly small.
Honestly, my first thought was 'demographic dividend', but it doesn't look like South Korea's gender ratios are skewed at all.

This is all good stuff. AWS takes a while to grok but once you do, it offers so many new possibilities.

The Aha! moment for me came when playing with SimianArmy, the wonderful Netflix OSS project and in particular, Chaos Monkey.

Rather than build redundancy into your system, build failure in and force failures early and often. This will surface architectural problems better than any whiteboard.

oh, good grief. has this guy really been getting away with this for what, well over a decade now?
this seems to be very focused on US academics, at least that is what impression I'm given by labeling ".edu" addresses. It gives a feeling that these torrents/datasets are of better quality.
I'm also missing a catalog on this tracker, some basic taxonomy would be most welcome...
I typed "12 c in f", a very simple example of the sort of thing I use wolfram alpha (usually by way of duck duck go) for most often. It choked. I bailed.

I'm a Linux user. I have bc and units installed. I even have some shell script wrappers to make those utilities actually helpful for casual use. I can open a terminal and calculate expressions and convert units...so long as I ask nicely. The big win for W|A is that it doesn't require me to ask nicely. This is helpful for quick 'n' dirty queries as well as for queries where the work required isn't in doing the calculation so much as reducing the query into a simple expression in the first place.

In other words, simpygamma solves a problem that by and large doesn't exist.
They solved the same problem (associating menu items with keyboard actions) in 2 different ways - xerox with dedicated keys, Apple with keyboard shortcuts. Xerox was the first to have to solve that problem though.
You mean the 'Crying While Eating'[1] meme?

cool! Love the Blackberry user generated text (try it)
"Shallow and pedantic" is a quote.
> For Park, online eating is not just a niche hobby but a significant source of income — she makes up to ₩10 million ($9,300) a month from her broadcasts alone.

> Afreeca TV, the publicly-listed social networking site that hosts her channel, allows users to buy and send virtual "star balloons" which can be monetized after the site takes a 30-40% commission.

30-40% seems like a massive commission. She's losing out on about $5,000 a month, or $60k a year. That's significant. Live streaming and virtual payments are commonplace at this point, so I imagine there are many options out there. Her fans will follow her wherever she goes.

I don't think the Walkman is a good comparison at all. Instead, look at the boom box. Big headphones today, or the Walkman in the 80s didn't invade someone else's space. They allow a person to withdraw.

Boom boxes, and Google Glass, on the other hand, are explicitly outwardly focused. They force your presence upon others.

I think I saw a tweet along the lines of "don't think of EC2 instances as you would servers."

The point is, achitecting for the cloud is all about treating your infrastructure as very transient and failure prone.

Hopefully stuff doesn't fail but architecting for that gives you a much better application.

Netflix are my favourite tech company based on their open source distributed system stuff. Check out Hystrix and their circuit breaker implementation. I am going to lean on that heavily in an upcoming project such that entire application tiers can dissapear with graceful degredation.

I have a bluetooth headset for making phone calls more safely with my older car (not capable of interfacing directly with my phone), and I don't agree with demonizing headset users, but the biggest issue that I personally found was related to the fact that the headsets were hard to see. Making it unclear when someone was talking on a call or to those around them. The headphones with mics, I find them to be less of an issue because they are more visible even though it would seem to present the same opportunities for confusion.

There was a time when vision correcting glasses were considered very strange I would imagine, but they proved to be very useful and we become accustomed to seeing them. What will be fun, I think, is as others have postulated wearable tech becoming less apparent to the naked eye, so much so that the plastic brick will be considered odd, and that one would WEAR vision correcting lenses mounted in metal or plastic frames right on the face?!

The typical Apple fan's deep knowledge of Apple history tends to be accompanied by a generally superficial knowledge of the rest of the industry.
As a hobby project, I'm working on a tool to help improve spending habits. I'm not crazy enough to imagine I'd ever reach feature parity with mint, but I personally know plenty of folks who use the well known personal finance tools yet seem to make a lot of careless purchases they later regret. And while mint is fine for what it does, I don't think it really points you in the direction of disciplined, thoughtful spending. If you want to stick to a budget but you find it hard, I think there's an opportunity for a more focused tool.

More than simply building a savings account, the other side of the coin is making your spending more meaningful by reducing impulsive buying. Saving a few bucks here and there with coupons or promotional discount is way too easy to spoil with just one thoughtless purchase.

Grails is really an extension of Groovy, which started out as a fork of Beanshell but with more Java-like syntax. It's business purpose was solely to take some market-share away from Rails. The marketing name "Groovy on Grails" even sounds like "Ruby on Rails". The Grails software itself was begun as a thin wrapper around other software products from various companies (e.g. Spring from SpringSource, Hibernate from JBoss) so its backers could use it to muscle in on the training and consultancy markets for those products. They then started a company, G2One Inc, and quickly shopped it around among those companies, successfully fooling SpringSource into buying it after 12 mths.
>Please explain how CA regulations forced manufacturers to China, and not merely to Arizona.

Well more often not actually moving the factory to China, really it is just sending the designs to an existing factory there.

If you (as a factory owner or group of owners) were being forced to pay a huge amount of money and take a concerted amount of effort to relocate a factory because you cannot afford to make all the overly stringent environmental concessions that were placed on you (or alternatively go out of business). You would definitely sit down and consider all your options.

Do you (as a factory owner) want to uproot your family and move as well. Do you want to bet the company in an expensive and risky move? How do you know that Arizona won't pass the same law 5 years down the road?

The other alternative would be to take higher profits and less risk by beginning to incrementally phase in products made in china and eventually completely shut down your plant and leave only your administrative and engineering offices open?

Wow, I guess the creators watched Black Mirror.
To be fair, I tried a recent Lenovo laptop and in the BIOS you can swap the Fn and Ctrl-key so that they're back at where they should have been in the first place.

After that, I no longer hated working with the laptop and found it pretty decent.

That said, yes, Lenovo is the definition of a company making "boring" and über-traditional devices.

Randomness isn't necessary to distribute the path names. Somewhere I read that reversing sequential ids is sufficient.

So, for instance, if you have some sequentially numbered files you want to store:

126.jpg

You save them at:

Interesting. What are PostgreSQL's "fingerprints"? What makes it possible to tell a PostgreSQL derivitive from one based on another engine?
1) Trust. I trust the Tor developers and nodes much more than HideMyAss, which is a single point of failure.

2) Looks like a good suggestion, I'll have to check that out if I ever start a Tor hidden service.

3) The main factors are having control over the HTML, and differentiating the site from just another wordpress blog. Anyone can start a Wordpress blog using Tor, and that wouldn't make a very interesting blog post.

This was done mostly as an excercise and experiment. If the goal were just to publish sensitive articles, I would use a free blogging platform.

Confirming that my sample size of X Bootcamp students have trouble finding jobs. It's still a competitive market, but it seems like there is an increased demand for skilled talent.

What seems really odd to me, is that the market for creative talent seems to want the cheapest, least skilled talent for some reason. I suspect this has something to do with how we as a culture value creative art labor versus programming labor.

I would not call Gruber particularly sharp or good. He's not bad by any means, but his writing is subject to a massive pro-Apple bias and his writing tends to be high on emotion and low on information.

I read Daring Fireball because it often has interesting links, but I wish I could easily filter out the non-link bits like this one, because I just don't learn anything from them, and they sometimes (not in this case, but in others) angry up the blood.
Oh, I'm perfectly happy with the location of the Fn key, and, admittedly, larger Del and Esc keys were also a good idea. Five-row keyboards are not (and neither are six-row chiclet-style keyboards).

There's some gender imbalance. Marriage and fertility rates have also been falling steadily in recent years, you aren't that far off.

Most of people I know here still get married for all the wrong reasons (social status, money, family and social pressure, ...), and you need to add the fact that career-wise, males are typically lagging 2-3 years behind females because of the military conscription.

Antiquated Confucian values and breakneck development of the country are a terrible mix in my opinion, and I believe it'll affect the society in ways that are more extreme than anything we've seen elsewhere (the comparison with Japan is easy). But I reckon that Korea is also able to react quickly, sometimes with drastic measures, let's see.
I don't think this kind of questioning is useful. Does it really matter if the dev knows all the strange intricacies of javascript, or does it matter if they can actually put together a well engineered application? I can easily see a more big-picture oriented dev who only uses the bare minimum javascript features fail this test yet create very well engineered code. I can also easily see a dev who likes to study manuals doing well on this test and then making code so difficult to understand he can't even fix it himself.

I don't know if this exists (as someone who uses Mint but doesn't know the space well), but I would kill for a service that aggregates and simply reports my monthly bills for me.

Bank says you cannot change your Pin code
I recently have a new Bank account from S-Pankki (https://www.s-pankki.fi/), they send me Card and Pin code by post. When I wanted to change the pin-code it wasn't possible to do so. I asked them how to change it, they replied: "@rajibmp If you forgot your pin code, we can send you the same one. If you lost the code, you can order a new card with a new pin. "

I'd like to know What might be the security measures behind these kind of approaches for not letting users change their own pin-code? (I know I can ask them, I did too, but I am looking for general views regarding cyber security with these kind of practices)

This interview could go much faster if it didn't use a laptop or a whiteboard. A strong candidate should fire off responses to those questions just as fast as you can ask them.

Spacify: "Split on empty, join with spaces." Done.

String.spacify: "Attach that function to String.prototype and call the split/join on `this`." Done.

And so on. It does serve as a way to test if they can actually write code, but my guess is that there's not that big a difference between talking through the code you'd write and actually writing it.

I'd be very comfortable with going through this verbally, but I'd be horrified to get an interview like this where they expect me to type code and talk to them while doing it. I'd honestly much rather have a whiteboard than a laptop—at least I'm used to writing with a pen while someone judges me. The laptop would just take away that comfort and make sure my brain turns off.

Am I alone in that?
