I do not believe there is any data to back up this assertion. Indeed, it's exactly this kind of discrimination that people are looking to combat. Looking around my office there is a person here who's about a year younger than me b

This idea that putting aside the amount of parental leave candidates took when evaluating them for promotion is somehow "punishing" people who didn't take leave seems like a real stretch to me. I don't think it'd be

I wouldn't lump in Magic Leap and Hololens, I think they are targeting a very different market.

IMHO, there's not much of a market for a tethered VR headset. Some of the big components of a compelling and immersive VR environment include some ability to move around and interact with the virtual environment and (again in my opinio

Employers have a much larger pool from which to choose employees than the pool of employers from which any one employee may choose. In addition, the majority of employers have (either by coincidence or agreement) landed on a similar set of

Everyone in my family who has lived into their nineties suffers dementia. It is really hard to know what to wish for. Compassionate children, I guess, and the agency for them to do what they think is best.

I am not trying to pick a fight, but Apple's statement says... * They never found mailicious chips planted on any server * They never found a vulnerability planted on any server * They were never contacted by the FBI about malicious ch

It would be really nice for Bloomberg to either offer more evidence or tell us they have lost confidence in the article. Likely they will do neither.

Apple has been pretty clear in their statements and it's a given that they can't detect 100% of outgoing malicious data from their network. But they are denying much more: the servers with the altered boards entering their supply

I think that is the critical point: there is no interface between hospitals. What little infrastructure the HITECH act sketched out on this point was vague and inadequate. Clinicians and patients are most concerned with communication betwee

Yes, the "interface engine" I worked with was Quovodx Cloverleaf. :-)

It's a standards of many standards. Each system (radiology, laboratory, scheduling, etc.) has their own system with it's own flavor of HL7. It then communicates with the larger hospital-wide system (Epic, Meditech, etc.) through i

The irony here is that most clinicians would be happy with something that is simply searchable: even a large PDF would go a long way towards meeting their needs. Instead they are provided nothing at all, or stacks and stacks of physical pap

I would disagree that the HL7 organization is looking to make these standards less convoluted. On the contrary, the large and established vendors help write these standards. In my opinion, it is in their interest to leave enough room in the

I would be interested to know more about which large hospital information systems can import and export data from their competitors. I understand that FHIR is planning to meet this need, but I don't see much information on which system

In my opinion, the state of EHR interoperability should be attributed to the vendors of hospital information systems (i.e. Epic, Meditech, etc.) and their larger clients, big healthcare systems. Again, in my opinion, neither of these stakeh

I understand that they need a way to transfer data to and from the machine that builds the ballots but the method outlined above doesn't fill me with a lot of confidence. Barnes freely admitted that their desktop computer handles their

I put a couple applications together that worked with the Java bridge to get Java code updating a Cocoa UI and it felt kind of hacky even at the time.

The case made by the article strikes me as surprisingly clear: 50% of dollars spent on wireless headphones we're going to Apple and they wanted that percentage to grow larger. Forcing their customers to buy wireless headphones directly

I wish it was compulsory. The default in most mailers (specifically GMail) to quote the entire body in the reply is, in my opinion, terrible.

The automatic quoting that email applications perform gives me a headache. 90% of the emails I receive require no quote, yet contain like 20 levels of indented quotes from the chain of messages that add nothing but noise. Modern mail reader

It seems that United States has the exact same problem as Facebook. I don't think this is all that surprising since they are both very large organizations. As someone mentioned above, committees allow for the dilution of responsibility

This makes me think that developers should start moving away from Chrome. Firefox, for instance, still supplies the full URL.

I disagree that we should trust that their intentions are "for the greater good" or even "somewhat reasonable." Government and law enforcement agencies, from top to bottom, are staffed by individual people. As we have se

I would go with Pharo if you are interested in what the Smalltalk that is referenced in the article was like. Pharo has a modern and friendly look, it's also providing the GUI environment and integrated tools that (in my opinion) seem

I like the idea of software, libraries and application code all being accessible to each other and have the ability to call each other. Too much functionality is siloed behind application A or B, and the interface exposed by these applicati

I will agree that the notes of an author like Oliver Sacks or Mark Twain will be more interesting to far more people than whatever I end up scribbling in the margin. On the other hand, I don't think a person needs fame in order to be i

I certainly feel this way about the passages that the Amazon Kindle chooses to highlight (I think it's based on how many people underline a section). It is not my favorite feature.

I think a big part of this process is getting away from the belief that your reactions to the text are somehow less important than the text itself. One way to elevate your own thoughts and ideas is to write them in the book, alongside the t
