I got excited because I thought I could get paid for writing new crazy computer operating systems. But after reading the article, I was just confused...until I found this snappy headline on some news site: "Bryan Johnson, founder of Br

If I posted four lines of Chinese or Sanskrit, it's likely that native English speakers would disagree that they had much meaning either. However, this doesn't mean that those lines are inherently devoid of meaning or difficult to

I really try not to buy consumer (or shoddy business) equipment that falls apart within two years. I wonder if someone has aggregated average lifetime to failure, because that would be very meaningful to me as an axis to consider before pur

Reading: How to Lie with Statistics - Darrell Huff A very entertaining read: throughout the short book, Huff satirically likens abusers of statistics to criminals.

I think this might just be a stipulation to sign a BAA with Amazon, combined with my tendency to err on the side of safety. I can't find anything to cite either. On a slightly related note, lack of memory safety happens to be how Home

There are a few options if you want HIPAA compliance. Note that "HIPAA compliance" is somewhat of a loaded term in that there aren't many super-technical benchmarks to meet, but a general "do-good" attitude includin
