Ion Torrent raised around 60MUSD according to angel.co. They sold for 375MUSD, with milestone payments making it up to 725MUSD. I've no idea if they hit their milestones or not.

It might be worth mentioning that although the Nikkei has been pretty flat, after visiting Japan yearly for the past few years, I've noticed that the rate of development and re-development there continues unabated. Employment is high, health care universal and prompt, bullet trains ever evolving, gleaming skyscrapers appearing in place of 30-year old structures deemed out-dated, shopping and commerce and business all zooming along, uniformed safety workers waving red glowing batons over temporary pot-holes which will be patched by morning. It all runs like a well oiled machine. House prices were surprisingly affordable - values haven't risen meteorically like before the 'bubble'. In short, the idea that Japan has flatlined for 20 years gets thrown around a lot in the west, but it only takes a visit there to see that in those 20 years, they've managed to do some amazing things while remaining under the radar in a supposedly enduring recession. Japan is still way ahead of the west in many areas, and it seems more like they've reached a kind of steady-state balance. It's a situation that I suspect many westerners would actually be impressed by, if not a bit envious of, if they witnessed it first hand.

Let's say if we can get (build) a proper 12 lead ECG with proper home/protable monitor.

Is there such thing already?

Collect all 12 leads signal via bluetooth connection to a Iphone/Mobile device.

Whenever I do a 30,60 minutes exercise in the GYM, the system will collect all the data and store them in my personal cloud.

Whenever I did annual checkout with my PCP, I will go over the data/chart with him/her and see if there are any abnormalities that might trigger any concerns.

If they spot any potential issue, than we have more info to do proper stress tests in the hospital and lab setting.

Would this kind of device/process be valuable from your ( Doctor's ) point of view?

BTW, I have background in embedded system, cloud backend, and some mobile app, if any doctors think these kind of monitoring devices are useful. I can definitively love partner up working on such project. My mom suffered from heart attack a few years back - so this topic trigger a personal nerve for me.

Yes. You're scaremongering. You're (by your own admission) using an extreme situation to make a point.

If you choose to emphasize this extreme situation, as you did, then yes, you own some personal responsibility.

If you don't like that, then don't use extreme cases to make whatever point you want to make.
True. Though the convention in JS is generally camel case so as soon as you use a library you're going to end up with some disgusting horror with mixed code styles. Ruby's libraries generally adhere to the underscore style. I don't consider it a reason to mount a holy war mind you.
We are on the cusp of solving natural language understanding, which will enable natural language for humans and relational databases for computers. There will be no "Semantic Web", there will the "Web" and the machines that read it just as well as humans.

Die Linke is the successor to the SED, a party that went defunct 25 years ago. It's been participating in the democratic process ever since reunification, and is part of several state as well as numerous local governments. For the most part, and certainly in terms of their actual political activity, the correct label is "social democratic" and not so much "extremist". It's anything but surprising they poll in the double digits, right-wing political spin notwithstanding.

As terrible as it is to write this, (while still really early and I'm far from a NTSB expert), but if you had to pin a failure event on human or design, you'd be better to have it rest on human cause.

Resolution could then be practiced or automated out of existence, versus structural design that could take years to resolve.

They are from some perspectives. For example, the US Army has long been a major funder of psychometric research because IQ scores are so useful for dealing with conscripts drawn from the entire population (not just a few elite universities) that it saves them a fortune in training and accidents (lower-IQ people are dangerous around weapons or equipment); hard to think of any psychology research which might've been more useful to them than that.
or are homeless because they can't afford housing, or end up eating what they find in someone's trash because they can't afford to buy food

There's a bit of a straw man or, at least, mischaracterization hidden in here. It's true that the U.S. does a pretty poor job of dealing with the mentally ill and those at the very bottom who simply cannot take care of themselves. And I think if you push people, even those on the far right, they'll acknowledge that we probably need to do something to help those people.

But, outside of this group, nobody is digging through trash for food. We live in a society where clothes and food are as cheap as they've ever been. And there are government programs to fill the gaps. Arguments like yours only further distance you from the people you're trying to convince, because it's obvious to just about anyone, including (especially?) those who have actually been poor, that they're just not true. I've been poor. And it sucks. It sucks for lots of reasons, all related to access to resources, lack of successful friends and coworkers, its drain on your motivation, and so on and so on. But I never feared missing a meal. That's not the experience of most poor folks in the U.S.

I am similarly perplexed about why this argument is dragging on. This position:

> People make suboptimal decisions, especially when the choices don't have clear outcomes.

Is nuanced and, I think, correct. But your original comment didn't clearly say this (though now that I know your actual position, I'm able to read back and see what you meant). It sounded like you were saying -- like many other people -- that if you don't have insurance in the U.S. you can't get treatment, so you die.

Distinguishing between the two is important because to the extent that the latter view is perpetuated, it is a major reason why people "make suboptimal decisions."

I suspect that you and I have the same views about healthcare in America. I'm simply trying to get you to tighten up your somewhat loose talk about it. Things are bad, but you seem hell bent on making things sound even worse than they are. This impulse itself is harmful for precisely the reason that I and waterlesscloud have now both pointed out to you.

Case in point: did you know that there is also an automobile exemption in Chapter 7 bankruptcy that works similarly to the homestead exemption?

JavaScript, yes. Python? Python isn't particularly popular and there aren't many Python jobs around. It also isn't a particularly popular language on any platform but Linux (so while technically cross platform, if few use it on other platforms is that relevant?).

If you've been ignoring other languages to concentrate on Python of all things in the last few years then you have missed the gravy train. Object C, Java, and C are the most popular, and both Java and C are cross-platform (and better still actually used cross-platform unlike Python).

As an aside I see significantly more Java, PHP, and C# jobs than any other language (mostly for web-apps). Then after those I see pure mobile development (Java-Android, and Object C).

So it's pretty convenient. Of course I still have to go online to look each individual's positions, but there's no way to present an unbiased view of each candidate, at very least you will present them in some order, and even that matters.
"Capitalism is producing a large number of poor people competing for a shrinking pool of low-paying jobs"

Some questions:

Is this situation new in history?
Is this a transitory state?
Is this related to corruption?
How can find a new job those that wered cancellet out because automatization?

Do we really control our future?

Are our goverments trying really to find solution to those problems, that is allocating the necessary resources to dealt with those problems?

Some people could think that making it difficult for people to live in a country increase productivity in the sense that people are disponed to work more for less pay, macroeconomically this can make sense but what about those that can stand up?

Do we really vote with our heart or are we at the end of the day voting to continue living in a such competitive system that no one knowns were it is heading?

Here in Spain, I sometimes consider that people don't value really how well we are with low tuition rates and free health care. Without being able to value what's really important is very difficult to design any kind of sensible approach to solve the really important problems we face.

Perhaps any of those questions can be answered?, I don't know.
That can make it difficult to implement consistent standards that are not subject to the whims of local politicians.

There are also economies of scale that are difficult to achieve on a local level. Drug purchasing, for example. A federal government is going to have far more negotiating power.

But I take your point. Perhaps the right answer is that laws and oversight are the domain of the federal government, and implementation is local.
According to POSIX.1b RT signals are used for other features defined in .1b. An excerpt from "POSIX.4 Programmers Guide":

> So far, we've talked about real-time signals sent by the sigqueue function. However, most POSIX.4 signals are sent as a result of three other facilities in POSIX.4. We'll cover these facilities in detail in their own chapters, but for now, you need to know that realtime signals can be generated as a result of expiration of a POSIX.4 timer, completion of asynchronous I/O, and by arrival of a message on an empty message queue.

Linux reserves 2-3 RT signals for use in its threading library:

Scriptster: Make Your Ruby Scripts Nicer
when I switched from RoR to Java I started to really understand these issues... with RoR I was using lots of open source code (how can someone be expected to read/comprehend all the code in c++ extension modules as well as a mound of Ruby?). I'm not sure what c++ extensions are actually capable of but it just seems like a scary thought to be able to hook this deeply into the system. Personally I wouldn't want to use a lib that invokes some c++ unless it is from a REALLY reliable source.

So yeah the reason I bring up Java is I think there is strength in the notion of the "App Server" in the java world. It's like a partner for the OS that allows for somewhat of a security "air-lock". Even if using Docker or something to scale RoR / simulate the effect of an app server node, I just fundamentally think an OS has too much power.... a web app shouldn't have any access to it basically, except through known/monitored/regulated protocols and points of access. Basically, data can be handed to an "App server process" which in turn does some low-levelish system tasks, but the app itself can't do them.

Personally I think the app server approach also makes deployments/scaling easier and reduces the need for a sysadmin guru. RoR shops (and languages that follow a similar paradigm) really shouldn't be running any apps that handle sensitive info for example without a Linux guru and a senior Rails dev auditing app modules (or at least keeping up-to-date on existing security audits).

It's weird, those first few months of Java when you realize how limited you are by your EE or whatever type of container -- then it starts to feel natural/healthy. When architected properly, I don't think apps will ever suffer from this lack of freedom.
Yeah, if I use it I may just do that.

Usually I don't find myself clicking on my Macbook trackpad anyway. I usually just tap, plenty of precision that way, plus OSX tends to have larger click targets than Windows and lots of gestures (especially with BetterTouchTool) that make precision less important.

My only issue is click-and-drag, but that was at least somewhat alleviated when I learned to hold the click with my index finger and do the drag by moving my middle finger (which is similar to what I'd do with a trackpad with dedicated mouse buttons anyway) instead of just using my index finger.
Unfortunately I just spotted that I'm totally wrong, the huge pages apparently are only used by jemalloc: I just mis-read the outputs since this seemed so obvious. So on the contrary, it appears that the high latency is due to the huge pages thing for some unknown reason. So actually it is malloc that, while NOT using huge pages, is going much faster. I've no idea about what is happening here, so please disregard the blog posts conclusions (all the rest is hopefully correct).

EDIT: Oh wait... since the problem is huge pages, this is MUCH better, since we can disable it. And I just verified that it works:

echo never > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled

This means, free latency upgrade for all the Redis users out there during fork... (more or less 20x in my tests) just with this line above.
Thanks; this confirms my interpretation of your original comment. You're imputing the economic value of every externality you can trace to Microsoft back to Gates' own bank account. You can make that argument, but using "his plunder" as a shorthand for it is at the very least imprecise.

Yup.

Technical aspects of OS X file server access performance
Interesting Way To Spot Startup Ideas
About $115K/annum working remotely—probably about the same as if not. As @stephencanon said, an employer that suspected there was a downside in productivity for remote workers (and I'd say it's at least equally likely that working remotely results in higher productivity on average) could assuage their own concerns by remembering the significant (~50% of salary?) savings from not having to pay for air conditioning, heating, security, probably some office equipment (I provide my own printers, for example, since they're not terribly useful for remote work anyway), and various other bits of overhead.
I suspect you meant to ask this to people doing commission/independent-developer/consultant-type work, rather then employees that only happen to work remotely, if so maybe it needs to be specified.

That advice isn't that contradictory.

Putting CSS and JS into external files increases number of files, but decreases page size. (win for page size) External files can be cached. (win for page load times) Therefore, navigating to different pages that reference the cached external files shortens load times.
