That is not really very relevant when building a Firefox add-on. Firefox add-ons get incredible access privileges to the browser internals. That is part of what makes it hard, but also powerful.
An example of what I mean, it was not overly complex for Sunbird (the calender app) to be turned into a add-on. There is no reason also for example that Thunderbird could not be turned into an add-on for Firefox. Except then you would have SeaMonkey...

But my 2c, is that even if the project does not work out as hoped, what ever they are doing can put turned into ad add-on.

Actually, this version of Firefox activates a number of web features that are not activated in the release version, to let webdevs test against features that are either not 100% stable or not fully standardized yet.

But other than that, it's basically Firefox.

Palpitations are often stress related. I used to have sporadic one when I was really stressed out, but they end up totally disappearing. You probably know but as an actionable first step you could try to reduce your coffee consumption and see if you are getting better after a week.(assuming you are drinking coffee)

Taking some magnesium supplement could also reduce the symptoms, since a low magnesium level, caused by stress, can also lead to arrhythmia. Typically every time I am low on magnesium I experience eye twitches that are quickly disappearing after a few week of magnesium supplements. I am surprised it was not prescribed by your GP or cardiologist.

I don't really want to give medical advice carelessly but since you have seen a cardiologist the most serious cause have probably been taken into consideration.

I am not a doctor (I don't even play one on TV). But a friend of mine had a similar experience (he also described it as feeling like his blood pressure was dropping, in addition to feeling heart flutters). After a number of tests, turned out he was having micro-seizures. He was prescribed an antiseizure medication and the symptoms stopped.

The cardiologist didn't find it. He went to a neurologist, and that's who diagnosed him.

Your situation could be completely different, but I thought I'd share the experience just in case.

This is a good insight, with the remark that CPU manufacturers are rarely bailed out by the taxpayers, after designing a faulty processor and getting close to bankruptcy.
You say this as if being in debt and unable to make the payments, is no big deal. Getting calls from aggressive debt collectors at work, at home, on my cell, even to relatives and coworkers, is a form of "debtor's prison".

When I asked for breakdowns of the debt itself, which I'm allowed to do under the FDCPA, I rarely got a breakdown of the total debt. One company responded to my request by serving me papers and filing a lawsuit. When I hired a lawyer to intervene and respond to the lawsuit, they dropped the lawsuit a couple of days before the date.

So the constant harassment, threats and stressors of being in over your head, is a kind of debtor's prison.
Unfortunately, WebSQL had simply _no_ specifications. That's not good for a standard, and that's why IndexedDB won in the end.
This is an exaggeration, and it's an unfortunate one, since it distracts from the truth of what you're saying.

As many have pointed out, a person who chose to be taken to the hospital would be taken to the hospital and treated whether they could pay for it or not. The result of this would be a serious amount of debt, but likely could be paid down with a monthly payment. The worst case scenario is bankruptcy, which sucks (though it sucks much less if you're already poor and have no credit to destroy). Best case scenario, is that you make a lot of sacrifices, cope with making the monthly payments for many years, and eventually become debt free again. Like I said: best case scenario.

I think that anyone would agree, though, that either outcome is far better than dying young. (Also note that none of these scenarios includes going to prison for failure to pay your debts. There is no such thing in the U.S. legal system, except for certain debts owed to the U.S. government, and even this situation is rare and typically involves willful failure to pay, not mere inability. Private debts are just that: private.)

The real problem is that people in the U.S. are forced to make this sort of choice -- i.e., the choice between healthcare and basic material comfort. An ancillary problem is that people believe the myths that you're perpetuating -- if they think they won't be treated, or that they will go to jail if they don't pay, they may avoid treatment and die, essentially, only out of ignorance. This wouldn't be their fault. This would be the fault of a healthcare system that sends all the wrong signals, and secondarily the fault of the people who spread half truths about the healthcare system to score political points. (And I say this as an ObamaCare supporting, lifelong democrat.)

I'm glad to see increasing coverage on React and Flux. Too many companies are jumping into the Angular bandwagon like lemmings without realizing there are much better alternatives. My productivity using ReactJS has been terrific, as I can recompose the front-end to iterate and to target devices effortlessly. And best of all in ReactJS, Javascript is a first class citizen, not something to disguise in unfortunate Java-like design decisions.

I have cyclothymia and panic attacks, and these issues were worst at 25-27. At that time, I worked for a startup and had no insurance. (Now I have shitty insurance, but that's a world better than none.) Of course, panic attacks are brilliant and creative in their ability to throw weird symptoms (phantom smells were my "favorite") and every time, I'd worry about the (small) chance that "this time" it was a physical health problem, which I couldn't afford to have. I still have a brutal (and, objectively, unreasonable) fear of hospitals. It's not so bad that I wouldn't go if I needed to, but even if it's to visit someone who's fine, it takes serious chemical assistance. I can take on a cross-country plane ride without klonopin (hell, most "normal" people in the professional world can't do that, these days; granted, that has more to do with yuppies being pussies than a real anxiety condition, though) and doctor's offices are fine, but hospitals... fuck. Too many horrible memories.

There are some great individual doctors and nurses, for sure, but our mean-spirited, psychotic medical/insurance system taps into this deep-seated fear that humans have of being abandoned. Abandonment is a more vicious fear than death, for most of us. Death (when it comes peacefully; granted, that's not as common as we'd like to believe) is either nonexistence or something that's probably very interesting.

To answer your question, you can go to the ER and get treatment without insurance, but that's not going to get you preventative heart surgery or cancer treatment. If you get cancer, you can't walk into an ER and demand chemo. For plenty of Americans with cancer, their first medical attention is when the fucking thing throws a clot or causes organ failure and it's past too late.

You won't go to prison for non-payment, but you will get a huge bill, because while insurance companies are good at negotiating medical bills, you can't. If you can't pay it (and U.S. medical bills can easily top $10,000 for a routine ER visit) then you can be taken to court, have a judgment against you, and end up with your credit destroyed (there's nothing on your credit report to say that the cause of your debt or bankruptcy is a black-swan medical event, or even medical at all) and your wages garnished.

It's not like these horror stories are common, but they certainly happen and most Americans know someone who's been involved in one. It's not like 25-year-olds dying on the street due to our bad medical system is a common event, but it is a terrible system that ruins lives on a fairly regular basis. The sword of Damocles hangs over all of us. Even with insurance, it's easy to get fucked. Michael Moore's Sicko (whatever you think of him, that documentary was incredibly well-researched and important) was about people who had insurance.

It generally astonishes me how bad the major PC manufacturers have gotten at this. They've completely sabotaged their own brand names to the point that the only "trusted" name anymore is Apple. I loathe Apple, but at the same time I'm frustrated that if I want a consistently good experience they seem like the only option.
Yes, it is. Nationalism as a political ideology just likes to pretend as though it weren't.
Some scripts also detect this and are written so that there is no code executed before the file is not complete. Of course, that's a minority.

Notably Icahn pressuring Apple to use it's stockpile of cash on large stock buybacks when Apple wants to keep that money for investment / possible acquisitions, or anything more related to direct investment in the future.

Personally, i'm totally comfortable with the idea of someone owning my box.

I'm often dismissive of Mozilla, for being so all-over-the-map and unfocused sometimes. However, I'm grateful for them being the only browser player that really does seem interested in progressing JavaScript.

All of the other players seem more focused on transpiling solutions, which are really about replacing JavaScript with something else under their control. Mozilla is pretty much the only player that genuinely works to improve JavaScript without another agenda.
Chapter 2 & 3 goes through LSH and map-reduce which is used for large data sets, where comparing all-with-all is impossible. Chapter 4 goes through streams where you take one item at a time and fit your model to that (so instead of optimizing a (for example) SVM with the whole data-set your stream it one after another. Chapter 9 also includes "online" recommendation algorithms and 11 is dimension reduction.

Sidenote: A nice way to reduce data-set size for clustering is by constructing coresets from the original dataset [0], it is possible to create a coreset in parallell using map-reduce. After this k-means will produce a very good approximation

Most of the ultrasound-using doctors that I've talked to in med school seem to agree with you; if there's a real need for 3D imaging today, doctors (in 1st world countries at least) send the patient for a CT. The cost/benefit for 3D ultrasound doesn't compare favorably to CT because it is a much noisier imaging process and it takes just about as long as a CT.

That's why if you Google image search for "3D ultrasound", you get mostly pictures of fetus faces and very few medical conditions.

So, I see this product mostly benefitting the 3rd world, unless they vastly improve image quality and lowered the technical hurdles compared to existing ultrasound equipment. (Which would be awesome, but is a hard problem.)

Disclaimer: have used the Vscan as a student, but am no means an expert in ultrasound.

Another absurd anti-capitalism diatribe from left oriented journalists.

Capitalism is not the problem. We have too little capitalism, not too much. Central banking and the banking industry in general are the problem, since it exerts monopoly control over interest rates and currencies. Free markets are resilent distributed networks and therefore self-regulate and self-repair. Concentration of wealth is a valid concern, but only because many normal mechanisms of exchange have been co-opted by central entities. Because of this, people have to go through intermediaries to facilitate exchange. These intermediaries often do not have the interests of those parties at heart.

"Pulse and heart rate are simply not useful (neither sensitive or specific) criteria for detecting MI's"

I have a statistical medical question. Is the problem that they're completely unrelated, or that interpersonal variation is larger than the typical impact?

Very long term data analysis with a sudden change might be much different than the experience of a ER doc seeing someone for the first time.

I guess the relevant data source would be someone hooked up to monitoring gear in the hospital when they have a second heart attack while onsite... it might not even be visually obvious but perhaps a detailed statistical analysis would show something before/after.

Google has written many times that the primary reason for requiring TLS for HTTP/2 were all the inline proxy/load-balancers/devices that screw up/transform HTTP/1.X connections and break them.

If you use the HTTP/1.X Upgrade header path, you are requiring an extra roundtrip to bootstrap an HTTP/1.X connection to an HTTP/2 connection, which sucks.

You can make Application Protocol Negotiation part of the TLS handshake (via the APLN extension), so you can easily get HTTP/2 without anything extra.

HTTP/2 is an opt in protocol that can run concurrently with HTTP/1.X, especially over TLS via the APLN extension.
I had a scare about two weeks ago. I woke up in the middle of the night with a lot of tightness in my chest, which I've never really felt before. I was also a bit dizzy/disoriented and became extremely anxious over whether or not I was having a heart attack. My first reaction was to look online for heart attack symptoms and began reading how you shouldn't be looking online and should be going to a hospital.

The final straw for me to NOT act was that I had no radiating pain. No pain in face, jaw, arms, etc. I took an aspirin and went back to bed. The next day, I went to the doctor and the EKG looked fine.

The whole thing was stress-related. Two newborn twins in the NICU may do that to you. What was interesting to me was that these symptoms showed up several days after their birth and after any initial scares were over. By the time I had these stress pains, the babies were eating from bottles, gaining weight and were functioning as they should in room air.

The scary part to me was realizing that heart attacks aren't like they are on TV or the movies, where the pain is so intense that the person collapses. I'm very thankful that I didn't have a heart attack, but I learned a lot more about them from that stress spell.
I wish there was a tl;dr version as its quite hard to find the time and motivation to sit there and watch something like this for over an hour.

Well, the Unix approach to this is a sandbox application and a shell application, not a sandboxed shell application. Docker attempts many of those tasks.

On windows there's Sandboxie, which does more or less what you want as well. It creates a sandbox whose filesystem and internals can be modified by sandboxed applications without affecting the state of the REAL filesystem. Very nice utility for mitigating bad programming - I often use it to run multiple copies of applications that crash or refuse to launch multiple instances.
From poking around reading CDC and WHO websites on malaria RDTs, they stress that since RDTs have a higher limit of detection than blood microscopy tests (which are apparently the gold standard), and also can only detect 4 common strains of malaria (at least two strains are not covered by RDTs), then negative results should (when possible) be verified by a microscopy test either way.

Given your situation then, it doesn't actually make sense to use a RDT on you. Basically, if you have what the medical infrastructure and low enough rates of malaria, you may as we just do the microscopy test all the time to ensure that you do the right treatment.

In your specific case, if they were having troubles detecting the parasite in a microscopy test, then likely they would have trouble detecting it with RDTs as well given its high limit of detection.
I've had the privilege of having time to sit down and talk with plenty of folks struggling in the southeast US. None of them, that is zero, show any discernable 'envy.' What you are talking about is either a straw man or a deeply hidden psychological issue I just couldn't detect a hint of. Or perhaps you are mistaking the new paycheck-to-paycheck middle class for the actual poor. In my experience these are either fiercy proud or cynically hopeless people with so many immediate issues they lack even awareness about what us rich people are doing.

The real problems they face are debilitating sickness, taking care of a family member with debilitating sickness, struggling to continue sleeping where they are presently, struggling with maintaining a human identity in a society that treats them subhumanly, trying to get hired as a felon, trying to secure the trust of any financial institution, trying to break drug habits and cope with psychosis and other mental illnesses without access to a pharmacy or non-ER doctor.
