This is because fax is still considered by HIPAA to be a secure method of transferring patient information. Where email is unencrypted and this considered to be insecure.

Heh. I’m not saying they are or aren’t out of control. My point is that when the government creates all of the requirements, and the onus is on the banks to verify it all. At risk of penalties from the government. Then you get these kind of stories. People see it as overkill. The banks see it as CYA.

TBH it’s not the banks fault. Our governments stance on taxes, terrorism and drugs has caused this. Due to the need to verify citizenship, verify that you aren’t a terrorist and verify that you are a drug lord laundering money the banks are forced to jump through all of these hoops to give you an account.

Once again we see that government doesn’t have regard for doing the best for its citizens. It’s only regard is doing what is best to keep itself alive.

I know that I feel like I really have around 4-5 good hours in me of serious deep contemplative programming a day. After that I either check out or find myself doing menial tasks that require no brain power for the rest of the day.

If I do have a huge deadline and have to double or triple that in a day I find myself mentally wiped and kind of useless for several days there after.

It seems like a good 80-90% of the hate of SPAs doesn’t seem to be aimed at SPAs as much a poor programming and poor user experience because of that. In a lot of the cases that people here use. It’s not the SPAs fault as much as the programmers that messed it up. And honestly why do we think that putting it all back to SSR is magically going to fix poor programming?

As others have said we had MongoDB Atlas. And it is basically mongodb ran in aws with a pretty interface to do basic things like whitelist ips and another such functions.

We were paying $5k a month for Atlas. So while it's not 'cheap' for a hosted solution it's cheaper. And the autoscale and RR is better DR is super configurable. And then there is this line.

'Together with optimizations like advanced query processing, connection pooling, and optimized recovery and rebuild, Amazon DocumentDB achieves twice the throughput of currently available MongoDB managed services.`

If you enjoy D&D then Critcal Role[1] is a must watch. Matt Merser is an amazing DM. And the other players(all professional voice actors) are really good as well. It’s great sit on the couch for a while or watch while working type of fare. Each episode is multiple hours of great voice acting and D&D.

As litigious as our society is. And having been involved in wrongful death suits in a previous line of work(firefighter/emt). When somebody is looking for money the swath of people who get sued is as long and as wide as it takes to find deep enough pockets to get some money.

Facebook isn’t exactly the most trusted and liked company right now. So they are exactly the type of entity a lawyer would love to get in a court room.

30gb to 1.5tb. And the last one I had it I was paying over $100 a month for 150gb.

At least in my area Century Link business is the only isp I can get at my house that doesnt come with a data cap. Both CenturyLink home and our cable provider have data caps that are enforced. And working from home along with Netflix and YouTube blow me through the 80gb limit every month. Causing me to have to raise my plan. And I’m not paying $200 a month for unlimited bandwidth.

It also doesn’t help that to break into this market you have to overcome years of customization and millions upon millions of dollars in sunk costs that management isn’t likely to throw out for something that “works better for clinicians.” Not to mention the cost of retraining entire hospitals worth of staff to use the new system.

From my experience for a lot of these 911 centers they are centered around counties(not all, but a lot). Back when they were first being set up with the internet capacity there were two issues. DSL was the only available service within the area, and the centers couldn’t afford large enough pipes. Talking early 2000s here. So a lot of these centers got pretty large grants from the feds.

They then hired one of the companies at the time that were doing these upgrades in bulk around the country when the money was flying because the fcc wanted all of the emergency services to move to narrow band from wide band.

These companies came in updated everything to modern and setup the contracts with the DSL providers back in the day(in my rural town I grew up in they just got 80mb cable internet in 2016, prior to that 10mb dsl was the best you could get there) In the west that was Qwest who became Century Link.

But government being what it is. A lot of these 911 centers have languished because there is no desire to invest in updating these systems as they are expensive and hve a difficult upgrade process. So a lot of these centers are just paying to bills and trying to scrape by with minimal funding. And so upgrades and redundancy aren’t even considered. Until something like this happens. And the feds might throw some money at the problem. All the centers will get grants to have failover and then will go back into dormancy of just working day to day with no budget.

Most of them are under 45 I would say. Most I talk to are coming here running from either California’s political policies(guns, taxes) or Portland because it got to weird and crime is to high. We have some of the lowest metro crime rates in the US. So that’s a big draw to.

But Boise is definitely moving blue. Which is what’s cause the rub between the people who have lived here and those moving in. Even though a lot of people see Idaho as a backwards messed up state(and trust me it is in a lot of ways). The people who have been here outside of the last 5 years when it has exploded are pretty resentful of the growth.

For all of these issues it’s still a wonderful place to live. But that might change in the next 10 years.

Boise is a prime example of political refugees running to a place because they love the current policies. And then voting in people who enacted the types of policies that they ran away from. The district I live in went completely Democrat for the first time in its history.

It’s also making house unaffordable. My small 1100 sq ft house has appreciated almost 60% in 4 years. I couldn’t afford to move into something bigger even if I wanted to.

Oh and traffic that’s getting fun because our city planners are about 10 years behind on city planning.

But it’s still better then San Francisco or LA. And our crime rate is still super low...For now.

Original because I missed it in reading this article.

Everything I can find says this was announced today. Doesn’t seem like that old of news.

I think one of the bigger issues that isn't being addressed is the current up and coming pilots don't have the basic pilot skills to overcome the systems when they fail. Flying has become so automated, that a pilot is only required to fly on take off and landing, and even landings are optional on a lot of planes now.

When one is confronted with a lack of control caused by those systems, and having been so removed from general flying that they end up panicking and crashing.

It's such a deal that the FAA is reviewing flight training because Airline pilots are struggling with even the basics such as go arounds and stall recovery.

Below is an article about the FAA's struggles[1]. And an article about how most pilots couldn't actually pull off a Sully type landing[2].

We make ours at night right before bed. Using a very small amount of yeast, we let it ferment/rise for 12 or so hours and then knock it down and rise for 2-3 more hours and into the oven.

I ripped my front yard out and put in raised beds with gravel in between each box. I have had several positive comments from neighbors who initially thought I was crazy but now see the positives of what I’ve done. Also I don’t have a HOA to contend with so the 8 months my yard was a dirt or mud lot wasn’t as much of an issue.

I could agree with some of it. But he’s also said many times that he feels the only way to keep humans from going extinct is to make humanity a multi-planetary species, so while he maybe trying to fix some things his pretty clearly stated goal is to get humans off this rock permanently.

I think the huge thing that most people miss is that Elon isn’t trying to fix the earth’s problems. Elon is using the earth and other people’s money to bootstrap all of the things he needs to live on Mars. Every single one of his projects is in some facet working on a tech that is needed on Mars.

SpaceX gets you there.

Tesla gets you around there and batteries store power.

Solar City because batteries.

Boring Company to dig tunnels and create radiation safe locations for humans on mars.

Hyperloop cross country transport that doesn’t work well in our atmosphere but makes much more sense on Mars.

I think he is all consumed by his vision of humans surviving on mars and thriving. And when you look at things from this view suddenly his crazy becomes less crazy.

A 10 minute HD video is about 122mb. If that video is watched 1 million times you have to provide 122TB of Bandwidth. That’s just one quarter of the average pewdiepie video.

They are but I think that content creators want to have all of the tools wrapped up in one platform verses having to manage multiple platforms and accounts.

I think the key is to take the advertisers out of the loop, removing them removes almost all of the issues that YT has experienced. I have some ideas how to do that, it’s the costs of storage and bandwidth that I can’t figure out right now.

There is a massive chance to disrupt this market right now. But bandwidth costs alone make it difficult to challenge google in this space.

It amazes me that the EU can be so forward thinking on Data Privacy. Yet so draconian when it comes to copyright laws.

US-West(Oregon) just went down as well.

fixed!
