Raising the standard of living for the poorest people in the world does very little to increase the rate of climate change since these people have very little impact on the environment and consume so little in the first…
The alternative isn't a jump fee that goes to the government. It's no jumping at all.
Note taking is not about the time spent with patients. It's about keeping a good record for next time and insurance and is a major reason for physician burnout. Some doctors will finish up charting when after hours. Yes…
The "What has this project been used for?" section in the wigle FAQ is not very compelling tbh. Now that most routers ship WPA-2 secured by default and you can find free wifi everywhere, I think the most valid use that…
This analogy doesn't make sense for a game designed exclusively for kids where the "totalitarian government" is the company that runs the game.
Physician experience is important for patient experience. Doctors are by and large overworked, and respondih to too many patient messages are a major contributor to burnout.
You should put an epilepsy warning before that large gif on your readme.
Are there other examples you're thinking of?
Quitting your job is not an obvious thing for many people. There are so many assumptions for how somebody should quit their job that are baked in to people's minds. I should stay an extra few months for the bonus, I…
What do you mean? If my problem is that I have a big mole or skin tag on my body, or my nose looks weird, then surgery absolutely solves my problem.
I'm interested in what the parent doesn't find convincing about this. Seems pretty straightforward to me. There's tons of isolated places we could put nuclear waste in the US.
I think knowing that this is a vulnerability is fine. The tool is what I take issue with. I mean creepy as in a violation of a right to privacy. I don't consent to you knowing my phone number or any PII I put into…
One thing I've always wondered is how security researchers feel justified in releasing tools like the one in this blog post to the public. I can almost certainly say that the number of bad or creepy uses for an…
I generally would not do cleared jobs out of ethical concerns. I'm more lamenting that a clearance makes it easy to break into security but otherwise it's not clear how to.
I'm a fairly new computer science graduate and it has been hard to find a cyber security job that doesn't require a clearance. I've done a bunch of ctfs and reverse engineering, but I just don't see many roles out there…
Yeah Barnes and Noble for me was a third place where I could sit down, read a book, study, read some manga, eat a cookie, spend time. The new design downgrades most of those uses and turns it in to a better place to buy…
This study seems to be a pretty important one (cited by Harvard in a blog post about alcohol's effects on health). It doesn't necessarily go into preexisting health conditions beyond broad markers like BMI, smoking, and…
I got to level 6 by prompting it to give me a hint for the password, which is pretty hilarious.
I got to ask Scott Kelly why we should send humans to Mars instead of sending up more robots. His response (paraphrased) was: 1. Humans are explorers by nature 2. Humans can do science 100x faster than robots. 3. People…
Major consumer speaker vendors don't make it easy to compare speakers. When I was looking for a portable speaker to play outside I was surprised to see that for most of the speakers you'll find at big box stores, there…
One of my physics professors liked to say that a photon is an event. The particle we know as a photon is a point in spacetime where there is some sort of interaction, but the electromagnetic field is closer to a wave.
Yeah, I think the original statement wasn't worded exactly right. You can't check everything for a brain. There's a paper called "Welcoming Robots into the Moral Circle: A Defence of Ethical Behaviourism", which I think…
I used to play Roblox when I was a teenager. The game has a scripting engine that players can use to program their own levels/events in Lua. The code editing/debugging was pretty tough to use when I was playing it, but…
