Well, that's another thing. I'd love to get my hand on a 1980-1980 Mercedes. Another thing build for live https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_W126 I'd love to import a well maintained one, still

They prey on nostalgia, but the rugged aspect also speaks to me. Casio watches, Nokia cellphones (formerly, now Huawei or Xiaomi), Thinkpad latops and Panasonic Toughbooks - if you have one, you are likely to have one of the others. Looks l

Is anyone using a 2004 era CTB100 at home? I love the extra buttons and that it comes with a speaker for voice chat. I'm considering using one for programming, with the extra buttons remapped.

I care more about freedom than performance here. Not feature complete is fine as long as it works for what I do, and that I can tweak it to do more. Eventually, something that is not licensed from a western company (or which can't be p

Medical information is likely to be ICD codes for the active diagnosis, and antecedents (history) for this patient. This is worse than full text medical information because everything is already coded, so you can make some simple algorithms

After they received training when they learn that this step is important and not just a formality, and why it is done, I found that people do observe procedures, especially when they have to sign the checklist they filled themselves. Human

In spreadsheets (excel) and notebooks (ipython/rstudio), having the data bundled with the code is a feature. It provides reproducibility. > a destroyed formula can go undetected for a while... That is a problem in methodology, not w

One of my eyes has myopia. The other one is fine. Did I play out too much as a pirate with an eyepatch? Joke aside, the disease has many causes, and there is some genetic predisposition. It is too easy to blame it on the modern environment

There is absolutely no technical reason why it should be the case if done properly. With SIM cards or other hardware devices, your private key is never leaked (if "done properly") With cryptos like BTC, you can generate many keys

Name + ICD diagnosis, what a wonderful leak for blackmailers wordwide! (/s) Seriously, these two pieces of data that are innocent alone, when taken separately (HIV, chlamydia, cancer...) should NEVER have been linked together, ESPEC

Then please stand by your username and explain me, with rational discussion, why you think I'm wrong, and how Russia is so much better. And FYI it's not a mockery - I'm watching TV and eating, for real. It wasn't a metap

And personally if I had to live in either Russia or China, I know which one I'd pick to maximize not just my purchasing power, but also my freedom. I guess this unpopular yet factual opinion is shocking to some people: I am watching th

We can't ever know the counterfactual. If these had degenerated into a revolution, there would have been many more casualties. What we know for sure is that, 30 years later, the country is enjoying tremendous growth, has lifted a lot o

Reading the comments here, all I see is doom and gloom. Not a single positive view. It is sad to read that on HN of all places. Will some bad things happen? Yes, like when humanity learned about atom fission. But the overall result is a net

This is a nice way to do that, but you have a low volume of data, and you think 30 seconds is fast and 1 minute of downtime is acceptable. I question these assumptions. Consider the situation when you're adding thousands of new records

Wicked cool! It also plays for the theory of areas specialized based on the stimuli origin (center of vision) EDIT: and for the low number of participants, when it comes to brain function, it's often unfortunately the case. At the same
