That's a fairly common pattern. As frequency of incidents goes down the severity of the average incident goes up. There has to be some underlying mechanism for this (maybe the one you describe but I'm not so sure that's the w

That quantitative score was there all along, they just took a short-cut through the courts. But you should be able to trust your medical services people to have your interests at heart first and foremost and that's where this went of

That's obvious. But it is apparently not so obvious that there were people that felt the need to go to court over this and I recognize that if you enshrine bodily autonomy at one level you are going to have to argue much harder to achi

What a great project. I wonder how the modern sensors stack up against the military version in times of jitter and drift, that might cause some surprises. Larger sensors have a lot of inertial filtering compared to smaller ones. I also thin

Medical consent is a house that I consider holy but I draw the line at 'societal good'. This woman was at worst a risk to herself and the degree of violation here (besides the insults!) is revolting at so many levels. They had zer

Yes, that's precisely the thing I'm struggling with because I think vaccine mandates should be legal: it's everybody's lives at stake. But I recognize the conflict and the inconsistency.

I read the whole thing an hour ago and I'm still not through processing all of the pros and the cons but the thing that really stands out for me is the degradation and the lack of humanity. A hospital taking a patient to court is on a

Email and document collaboration are the big ones, email is probably going to be the easier one of those two, documents much harder because we have a pretty specific workflow that is tied closely to how google docs works. But the decision h

I wonder which of these the intelligence services prefer. Every one of them has their own advantages and drawbacks in terms of predictability, reliability, long term stability and chances of double dipping/playing both sides.

When Compaq servers were still a thing it was the same with those. You could drop them two stories and they'd probably continue playing if the cable was long enough ;) Oh and you'd get fined for damage to the pavement.

I have the same feeling about any kind of integration. We're moving away from Google because we simply do not want to have this kind of forced relationship with products and/or services. It either fits and we'll pick it or

Nice one. K-Means is one of those neat little powertools that once you get the hang of it you find more and more applications for, but it can be a bit slow for larger data sets. So this is very nice to have, thank you matt_d for posting.

I've had that multiple times. As well as the closely related 'that can't possibly have ever worked' and sure enough it never did. Forensics in old codebases with modern tools is always fun.

472 pages. That's going to be a nice bit of reading this weekend. It is very nice to see such a comprehensive report as well as the fact that it was made public immediately.

That's quite the story. I have a family member that spent some time on a taxi and the stories are much the same. Assholes aplenty.
