FWIW - The Nest lock in question doesn't rely on an active internet connection to work. If it can't connect, it can still be unlocked using the sets of PINs you can setup for individual users (including setting start/end time

Even the standalone optical HRMs (e.g., Scosche RHYTHM+) aren't good enough to do HRV[1] even though their accuracy compares favorably with the chest strap models[2] [1] http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2014/05/scos

EC2 <-> S3 yes (this should be easy as S3 has ssl support out of the box). The bigger issue is stuff like redis (which purposefully doesn't support encryption) which means you either need to be careful not to put PHI in redis (e.

We have a home grown solution for this. We use pants ( https://pantsbuild.github.io/ ) for our Python builds and phabricator for code reviews. Pants gives us a dependency graph so from which files get touched in a given diff,

FWIW - even inside a VPC on AWS traffic isn't encrypted by default so if you're dealing with PHI traffic between servers also needs to be encrypted. Many databases support this out of the box, but if you're using something li

We didn't move away (never were using GitHub), but we've done our CI hooks from inside arc (the command line client for phabricator) and it's worked pretty well (it means you need to be able to reach both phabricator and our

Some of the plugins (which is a big part of choosing IDEA over the sub-products) aren't backwards compatible (I had issues with the golang plugin in 12, but it's fine in the community edition of 13). Right now I've got PyChar

We use git-crypt ( https://github.com/AGWA/git-crypt ) in our ansible repo for credentials. Credentials are stored as variable YAML files so anyone can work with them in templates, but only our deploy box and SRE team ca

Mixed bag. The code review part is much better than stash and significantly better than crucible. Namely, diff of diffs makes reviewing changes based on comments infinitely easier (especially on large reviews). We installed phabricator just

If you haven't signed up for their beta program, I'd recommend it. At least on the android side the app is much nicer than the one in the app store.

A bit further down the page, they cite Zapier "Over a representative time period, Zapier polled for changes 30 million times but only took action on 460,000 of those polls (1.5% efficient)."

FYI: 4147 2011 1111 1111 triggers the special Chase Sapphire layout (number is on the back of the card, front just has your name + the Chase Sapphire (Preferred)). I actually find the lack of any label on the CVV field a bit confusing, but

I filed an online claim and didn't have to do either (the driver pled guilty). I imagine that the requirement cuts both ways (i.e., the driver has to actually appear to contest the claim, in which case they require testimony - if they can't

I believe the "donate towards our costs" button only shows up when there are no patients to donate to. I have a paypal receipt from donating towards their operating costs, so I know it was up there at some point!
