I had a hospital call me recently and inform me that the cash price for an upcoming procedure would be much lower than the price they would bill the insurance company. Since I wasn't going to meet my deductible this year, they suggeste

Keep in mind of course that a chart of the risk of serious illness from the flu by age range looks like a saddle. The risk for those 5-49 is pretty low. But the risk for those 0-4 and 50-64 are both much higher.

Lets say there's some rare genetic disorder, only a few hundreds of a percent of the population has it. If someone knows that your mother or father has it, you now don't have a few hundreds of a percent chance of having it. Depend

In the near future (or arguably now depending on your purpose) you don't even need that. Assuming enough of your relative's sequences are available, the probability of you having certain genes/mutations can be narrowed down s

Occasionally I need to work in the attic, on a ladder, etc. It'd be really good to know that everything around me is about to move.

If you choose a common name and your kid has an allergy or something, I guarantee you will pick him up from day care and he'll be eating snacks brought by the parent of one of the other children with the same first name.

Right, but then the way to do that should have nothing to do with corrective lenses and requiring them shouldn't be an artificial barrier to getting corrective lenses. If it's important, then it's important for everyone.

And I'm going to hazard a guess that the likelihood of not getting early testing correlates strongly with the likelihood of not getting vaccinated.

People want hands on physical hardware. If you just wanted 2021, you could run everything in an emulator. Having a floppy drive is cool and nostalgic.

Probably has to do with hardware and firmware roots. Building an RTC that is programmable with year, month, day, hour, minute, second without multiplication and division is much much easier if you store the date time in year, month, day, ho

The envelope description doesn't allow the core of the issue to be expressed. Just allowing for a single measurement of a single property is completely uninteresting. Being able to measure spin at arbitrary angles is the best descripti

The fallacy in the article is that anyone should code these functions. There's plenty of public domain libraries that do this correctly. https://github.com/rustyrussell/ccan/blob/master/ccan/end

Many of these risks don't apply to the lunar variant. The lunar variant won't be launching people from earth and won't be returning to earth. No re-entry, no landing flip, etc. As far as descent, it will do final touchdown wi

tunsocks[0] might be of interest to you. It's very similar to the software mentioned by OP except in C. It uses the lwIP usermode tcp/ip stack. It doesn't itself have any VPN or tunneling support, but instead relies on raw pa

1100km / c is 3.7ms. In free air, light speed is 50% faster. So long as the distance you are covering is more than 2200km, you'll overcome that. Of course, there's also the consideration that there can also be a lot of hops i

Yes, it'd be great if they could somehow solve all the engineering problems with AR headsets and bring something usable to market. It'd also be great if they could make batteries that are 10 times as energy dense and processors th

I realize a ton of the taste of food comes from context, which really does matter and can lead to more enjoyable food, but I'd still like to see a blind taste test in such a situation.

The halting problem is a poor example as there is already a simple proof showing that such a solution does not exist. A much better example is P=NP. This is a very rich area of research with many closely related problems that has been worke

This big missing piece here is that it's not a simple red/blue property. Spin is the easiest to understand. When you measure, the spin will either measure up, or down. The key though is you can measure spin against any angle. If y

A much more general solution would be a neural net that can alter gaze. Integrate with eye tracking and it becomes even better. Only the user you are looking at would see your direct gaze. Other users would see you looking towards the user

My favorite just ship it story is the software to control the first SpaceX droneship landing attempt. The developers told Elon that there'd be no way the code could be ready in two weeks. He asked if they could give a 50% shot, they sa
