This is worse than all those horribly incorrect political articles.. This joke of a paper is from 2012. They address satellite communication speed and power requirements without even considering the fundamental issue of we can't synthe

Great quote. However you're under the assumption that China will always act in the best interests of their people. You are right in that should China harm the US economy they would enter a massive recession, but who says the CPC care?

The ending on this article is horrible, it's suggesting vitamin C use killed both Linus and his wife. Everyone knows he was a nut job when it came to vitamin C, do we really need articles almost 20 years after he died still poking fun

Notices of privacy practices for practices are a boilerplate form that shouldn't be more than 10 pages long. Whatever they write is meaningless if it gives them more power than the law does, most places just use the AMA or state agency

As a programming analogy, you could theoretically: 'refactor' contracts (simplify them) but it would create numerous 'bugs' (loopholes). To fix that you have to apply hard-coded bugfixes because the 'modules/cl

This is factually incorrect. Under 45 CFR §164.520(c)(2)(iv) any changes must be distributed to patients within 60 days. Additionally unlike most other agreements, for HIPAA notices of privacy practices you do not sign that you agree to t

IANAL but I'm responsible for HIPAA compliance in my startup: Assuming this is a standard private practice, this office has several violations of 45 CFR §164.520(a)(b)(c), assuming that he was also not provided this privacy statement w

That's exactly right. I know it WILL most definitely happen to me, it's just a trade I'm willing to make. An applicable analogy is athletes and steroid use, they know what will happen but triumph and success in their 20&#x2

Part of the reason Google has seemingly perfect search results is because of the bubble, and because it knows us so well. It's quite the dilemma of whether the loss in privacy is worth the better search results. For example when I sea

Because you won't make any money. If you have 20 * 2 seater tables you're looking at: $60-80 coffee per 4 hours - x * $40 for four hours of a barista(s) - employee overhead - electricity - internet usage - business overhead - rent

You're assuming the cost is $200. In Canada it can be up to 6 months (from my own experience) to get a stress test booking. In the states you can do it the next week. That gets a significant premium. Compare it to buying something on e

Insurance providers don't pay these sky high rates so it effectively reduces the out of pocket expenses of patients, significantly.

A large portion of this cost is because some people don't pay, and they can run huge tabs. Meidicine is a business, and that cost has to be shifted to other patients to compensate. In socialised systems, like Canada, physicians actuall
