From the article it sounded like it wasn't just "who is this person we would like to question them", it was more along the lines of "we need access to this person's email and other data". The former seems possibly okay…
There's a lot of misinformation to unpack here. Your information is definitely out of date.
What "update process" are you referring to? Claims processing?
That's because the organization requires their docs to file data in that way; it's not a requirement or limitation of the software at all. You're basically saying that software can be used in a shitty way. That's not…
I fundamentally disagree with the idea that the system can somehow overcome poor implementation; guardrails can only do so much. At the end of the day you can set up almost any piece of software in a way that hinders…
That's a pretty pessimistic and quite frankly not accurate assessment of the software. They have a ton of clinical functionality, and that's what the majority of the dev/design spends their time on at their users group…
How is it "garbage software"?
All of these things can be done without internet connectivity.

True, but I would guess that oil is used at a much higher rate than sand, especially considering the relative availability of each.
Seems like he could have easily had the meeting in a private conference room, where no one would be eavesdropping. Then he could have quickly and calmly explained the situation to her.
Why would you smirk at people who eat lunch?
"I would expect" "Hopefully" Good enough for me!
I'm very happy for you that you feel that you not in a position where that is a risky step. Are you able to fathom that others may not be in that same situation, or are you content to be blasé to their differing…
"Given enough effort" is the key there. Just because someone can break into your house given enough effort doesn't mean you leave your doors off the hinges.
It sounds like you're saying that the ends justify the means.

Are you being serious with this comment?
Like anything, often it's just a matter of selling it properly, even without "authority". Even at an established shop, if something will make a difference in the bottom line, it will likely gain traction. I've been at a…
I honestly can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not. I'll just assume you are and move on.
I can understand that as a reason. In this case it sounds like there is a newer, more efficient format that has superseded the old one. (I'm no expert in circuits, so I'll take your word for it.) If some new…
Like I said, maybe I was just really lucky, but I never had to deal with Word for grad school. Of course, this was also 9 years ago, so maybe a lot has changed since then. Do journals in the engineering/sciences world…
Maybe I had a unique experience, but when I was in grad school (chemical engineering) we exclusively used LaTeX for thesis work. The journals we worked with also required it, if I recall correctly.
> avoided using LaTeX because the workflow is _so_ 80's. I've never understood this way of thinking. Either it works or it doesn't work -- the age should have nothing to do with it.
Yes, but it's equally ludicrous to say that the stopwatch "didn't give the visual feedback". It started incrementing those huge numbers, didn't it?
