The ethical argument is that failure to detect a life threatening condition in 100 people is not the same evil as causing a life threatening condition in 1. What it boils down to is the rate of false positives versus the rate of undetected

Would you say that, on the whole, physicians will make judgements that are approximately as accurate given new data about paroxysmal a-fib as they did before having this new data? Are they already condemning people to unnecessary treatment

The persistent monitoring afforded by devices such as Apple Watch will directly lead to an increase in the detection rate of any condition that they are capable of detecting. These new detections will be conditions that had been previously

Is HN supposed to be for people interested in tech startups or not? Is SpaceX a massively successful startup or not? Is the focus on Elon perhaps a stark reminder that success is often a matter of chance, and that not all startups are lucky

Not the point. You issue quest on hash A then hash B. Google guesses that because of other activity it has seen today, visits to a site marked by hash A followed by visits to site marked hash B means you are following a link from Alex Jones

A four byte hash is unique to two billion sites. The collision space with non-mainstream sites you might visit is going to be tiny. It’s as good as sending the actual URL, and possibly even the full path to the document you requested, if th

The bulk of the mass is in larger pieces, but the number of tiny pieces vastly outnumbers the large pieces. Imagine it being like an extension of this set of plastic piece masses: (100, 80, 50, 25, 10, 5, 4, 4, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 2, 2, 2, 2, 1,

Salary goes up $50k, tax goes up $15k, expenses climb by $6000, net income goes up by $29k. Saving $29k on $50k is harder than saving $60k on $100k.
