Our diapered daughter was recently in the hospital and the only thing they asked us was to weigh a dry diaper as a reference, and then place any soiled diapers on a scale in the room so they could be weighed at the nurse's convenience

For blood pressure, our experience was that the staff were perfectly happy to leave a cuff on our daughter's leg, which automatically took a reading every hour (or on demand).

During our recent stay, while the monitors did indeed beep, it was possible to put them on silent mode, which the nursing staff was happy to do because the rooms all had nice big LED screens outside the door with vitals alerts and the nursi

Our daughter was in for surgery at a world renowned hospital #1 for what she needed ... and our experience was like your second example. After she moved to the step-down unit from the ICU, she had the same day nurse for the next three days

Yep, especially for inexperienced divers. This is why one of the cert qualification dives is a "deep" dive, usually in the 90-110ft (30ish meters), and why that dive is usually just a really simple descent + a few elementary task

Can you point me to reference material supporting those numbers? I'd like to read more detail (and share with my partner, who works in pharma).

As a hiring manager, I don't agree with this. Frankly, although I always look for a person's education history, the only time this actually matters is if it allows me to make small talk with them during introductions. Additionall

Or, if you don't need the microwave so much as the oven part, I highly recommend the BReville Smart Oven ( https://www.breville.com/us/en/products/ovens.html )

FWIW, Philips just did something even worse with their Hue system, essentially forcing "legacy" (v1) Hue customers to spend $50 to buy a v2 Bridge if they wanted the system to keep working as usual. Coincidentally, this was a few

I'm thankful your wife had the wherewithal to persist in both her research and pestering of medical professionals. We recently faced a similar situation with our young daughter (was 20mo at the time), who was diagnosed with a rare int

For anyone in the bay area, I found a playground with adult sized monkey bars a few weeks ago. You know, the old school steel pipe structures from the good old days.... Some kind soul even place-marked it on Google Maps. I present, the K

Target started by adapting their supply chain to leverage underperforming brick & mortar stores as distribution centers, which is great. But they really need to up their e-commerce game. The website itself makes product discovery much

Because it's hard to tell the truth when you know the first reaction will be highly negative. This comes to mind as an example of how things might have gone differently for Boeing if they'd handled this better: https://

fwiw (more anecdata), Switzerland has Google's highest pay scale of any office around the world, including NYC & the Bay Area... and it's not even all that close (something like 10-15% difference).

This isn't necessarily true. At my previous company we had a serious finding (DoD audit) as a result of poorly written software. The finding was discovered by running one of our standard internal reports and looking at who touched wh

And additionally, it's probably useful for external folks to know that each product team has a designated product counsel and [usually] designated/dedicated POC on several different security & privacy teams, all of whom provid

Yes. The former is governed by commercial terms, and the latter is governed by consumer terms. That's different from your second question about model training/retraining -- there is an answer to that questions elsewhere (but it i

I'm going to go against most of the replies and start with a question, because without a clear answer you're going to probably have mixed results, at best. What is your motivation and what do you hope to achieve? If the answer is

Google is a large and complex company with many competing interests internally. Yes, I absolutely believe they would have created Gmail absent any advertising incentive. You have to remember how many seemingly random consumer services wer

your first two sentences are spot-on. The third was really iffy (and not true). The last line is completely false.

No it isn't. It's designed to make the user experience better on sites that frequently host Google ads (and also often contain a ton of bloat, 3rd party js, poorly constructed DOMs, awful CSS, etc). The only way Google could proa

I wouldn't worry too much. IBM is making a big bet on OSS friendliness as their differentiation, much like Google Cloud is.

Oracle's enterprise support is absolutely fantastic. They will not hesitate to put someone on literally the next plane, fly them to your site, and sit them there until your problem is resolved. Yes, that is expensive, but you're

I think there's some nuance here that you may be discounting. There's a difference between "the appearance of flexibility" and actual flexibility. GCP's OSS friendliness and integration is legitimately a competiti

Google Health was a completely unrelated experiment, an online repository aimed at consumers to facilitate storage & sharing of personal medical records. That's not remotely the same as what's going on here.

This was my experience in Brazil, too. Everything was more expensive, unless it was made in Brazil. This was either due to import tariffs or price gouging (or just domestic taxation, as on petrol), but it was still hugely impactful.

I don't believe you're correct. As my 2nd & 4th graders' teachers tell them, they need to learn a set of level-appropriate "math facts" ... but they're not forced to start by memorizing those facts (my son

This happens in the US, too. (my daughter just had open heart surgery at a top tier research hospital.) It's very common for a resident surgeon to open the patient and prep the detailed surgical site as part of their practical work (
