There's a huge benefit to getting a specific diagnosis. Treatments for Lupus vs. MS vs. vasculitis vs. other AI diseases are very different. And many of these are life-threatening without proper treatment; lifestyle changes won't

I think Azure DevOps handles context pretty well. I can look at old tasks and see associated commits, conversations, and related work.

She was climbing through a broken window past a barricade that was the last line of defense to where members of Congress were taking shelter. The guard was pointing his gun at her and other people were warning about the danger. I don’t thin

I can see how that would be a useful system. My approach/mindset is totally different. Instead I maintain a 1 year emergency fund in my checking account. If something important breaks (e.g. phone), I know I can replace it. Every month

I work for an oil and gas company and I’m working on a project to turn our pumps on and off based on spot price, since we pay wholesale 15-minute price for electricity. There’s a huge untapped benefit to aligning incentives between electric

Looks like you're right. The warrant affidavit links her IP address to the unauthorized message. https://www.miamiherald.com/latest-news/article247682356.ece...

She may or may not have broken CFAA. I haven't seen any evidence proving it was she who sent the unauthorized message.

There's a lot of potential for "smart grid" solutions to help here. But for it to work, we need to get the incentives right. I'm a big fan of Griddy, an electricity provider in Texas that charges you 15-minute wholesale

The legality of streaming games hasn't been robustly tested. It's too bad the victims of the C&D can't afford to risk a lawsuit.

I strongly relate to your comment! I was recently brought into a project where my company was working with a vendor to use their platform to reduce tedious work. Only by repeatedly emailing the vendor specific questions was I able to discov

Of course it matters. In a class where cheating is permitted, the students who choose to cheat will perform better than they otherwise would have. That will give them an advantage over the students who choose to not cheat. I personally expe

I do need that. I’ve had plenty of home grown produce that I doubt could be distinguished from store bought in a blind taste test.

There will always likely be an option without the black box. It will get more expensive though, as drivers self-select into different groups.

It’s interesting to relate this to adversarial attacks on computer vision systems. Something “low-tech” like this that works on mammal predators might protect against predator drones one day.

This issue is common in the oil and gas industry. Wells are typically identified with a 14-digit number that Excel likes to convert to scientific notation and then truncate digits when saving to CSV.

Parents are spending more time with their kids today than was common in the past. There are huge economic/social upsides to having grandparents or schools cover more time.

Perhaps if your macro ratio is consistent. The article’s author postulated that some daily weight swings he experienced were caused by increased water retention from glycogen after eating larger amounts of carbohydrates.

My wife has an autoimmune disease which can manifest with blood and protein spilling into urine due to impaired kidney function. To monitor this daily would be a tremendous improvement to our ability to monitor for flares.

It's a great time to own a supertanker. You can get a 300% return on investment by buying a May contract and selling a contract for August.

I wonder what precautions they take to avoid pests? With no use of pesticides, I imagine an outbreak of pests could be very costly. In the images we can see gloves and what looks like a blue uniform/coat they're wearing.

I've commonly heard people comparing this virus to the flu. There's a pretty good post on reddit comparing them. The summary is that Covid-19 is 20x as deadly, requires 10x as many hospitalizations, and is more transmissible. htt

Yep. I've seen this pattern of "We need to convert this Excel-based process to an application". Then it takes the domain export + business analyst + developer to make any changes to the process. The final product is more poli

Great question. For the Williston Basin, the numbers are 31,905 horizontals vs. 28,330 verticals. It definitely speaks to the difference in when these basins were developed.

The vast majority of wells are old vertical wells, not shale wells. For example, in the Permian basin there are around 18,000 horizontal shale wells but over 300,000 vertical conventional wells.

Adding negative consequences to "false calls" could have a chilling effect on real calls. You don't want people to have to weigh whether they should try to tough it out and risk heat stroke vs. risk a charged rescue. On balan
