For starters, the patient DID file the appropriately notarized legal documents and the hospital staff DID look them up and honor them.
Reading between the lines in the article, it also appears the hospital staff wouldn't have bothered to look up the legal documents if the tattoo wasn't there; so, the tattoo definitely did its job. And that's definitely something to think about if you ever file a DNR. "DNR filed with..." would probably work better...
The real dilemma would have occurred if there were no backup documents. The tattoo probably wasn't legally binding because it wasn't notarized. And I don't think you could get it notarized because that would required the notary's seal (at least everywhere I know of). I guess you could get the seal tattooed or branded as well, but they seems a bit extreme...
I knew someone who got a 50% salary increase by answering that question with "About $$$" (with the number rounded up quite a bit). Of course, they really wanted him and they had up the ante quite a bit to get any good tech people to move to South Florida.
BMI is still widely used by the medical profession even though it's junk science that dates back to the 19th century. It is still used, because it is cheap and measuring obesity (i.e., % body fat) is actually quite difficult to do accurately. Even the most expensive methods aren't all that accurate.
BMI is trying to estimate %body fat from a density measurement. Even that part of it is pretty iffy, because the difference in density between fat and other body tissue is small. And they they compute density using one dimension instead of three!
Even then, BMI is somewhat statistically accurate, but the deviation is almost as big as the measurement. For example, try computing the BMI of each member of your favorite American Football team. I did it for the NE Patriots a few years ago and they ranged from 25.8 (overweight) to 41.7 (morbidly obese). More than half were over 30. The average was 32.3 (obese). Who knew the NE Patriots were in such bad shape:-).
The point here is that BMI can work if you use it to study populations and health trends, but the measurement is too inaccurate to apply to health decisions for an individual.
The GM expert is saying that the HARDWARE needs to be fault tolerant. For example, the steering actuators had better be three way redundant. This is a detail the all of the other self-driving car developers haven't gotten to, yet. It is true that developing the software is the hardest part and you can do that without a fault tolerant hardware platform. But when it comes time to deploy, your hardware is fault tolerant or your name is Takata...
It would appear that GM is the only player out there who has realized that. So they might be a lot further along at deploying self-driving vehicles than M. Musk is. Or at least they don't plan on decapitating anyone as part of their development plan.
You can add something called SPF to your domain registration to fix that. It will take an hour or two to figure it out, but it really fixes that problem. Once you are registered for SPF, the mail relays can identify most fraudulent use of it and stop the entire spam run. In practice, this means that the spammers will avoid using it.
I'm late getting in here late and I skipped the first round because I was so late, but most people tend to use tabs in projects that are already using tabs. So, any correlation is more likely related to some other attribute of the code, not the presence of tabs. Here is an "interesting" interpretation to troll with: A lot of the earliest open source software was Unix, which had tabs in it; so, you get paid less if you work on old open source software:-).
Being old enough to know this from experience... The dimensions where never 2x4. They were more like 1.625 x 3.625 plus or minus a big slop factor. Even in the same lot. It's OK with plaster walls. Not so much with sheet rock.
Most professional coders will use whatever conventions are already in use in the code they are working on. Programmers who re-indent and/or re-tab source code in a professional environment tend to get reprimanded for wasting time and messing up the merges.
So, this is really more of a correlation with what types of projects pay better than whether spaces or tabs are used.
Yep, Google could sue for Trademark infringement. Except BK would argue back that using "Google" in a trigger phrase has diluted the trademark to the point where it's a common phrase. Oops. That's something else stupid Google did.
Google's smart play here would have been to do nothing and direct all the complaints to BK. The novelty would have turned into PO'd customers in about 5 min and he Ad would have been pulled.
Yes, "protected" is a legal term. In effect, it means any computer connected to the Internet.
The real key here is whether the access is "unauthorized". Given that the access code is published for the world to see, It's going to be really hard to claim the access is unauthorized.
Ummm... I think the original intent of this thread was humor. Or perhaps trolling. It certainly has nothing to do with C vs C++, because both have the same issues with that piece of code.
The only nuclear business that might make sense is recycling nuclear waste. Eventually, there will be desperate customers. The catch is that it may take a long time for the politicians to figure out there is no other way to get rid of nuclear waste.
I wonder how long it's going to take the millions of protesters against Trump to figure out that they can cause real damage by making reservations at his hotels and then canceling them a day later:-)
A lot of manufacturing shops use them to run production lines (where the computer crashing can cause the entire line to shut down).
They are also part of the 911 system.
The other reason one occasionally wants voting hardware is to detect failures. If the numbers you are crunching are really important, you want to be sure you get the right answer. I certainly hope that the people designing self-driving cars are using voting computers, redundant sensors, and redundant actuators. I don't want a glitch in some microprocessor to send me into a head-on collision! [I wouldn't use a Stratus computer for that, but I would build voting into the CPU chip -- in the correct way so that memory is also voted.]

Nah. Just tell all the other passengers who they were and ask if they still want to get on the plane :-)

I'm 65 and my attention span for ads is around 2 seconds (i.e., the amount of time it takes me to figure out it's an ad).

Changing your e-mail name is stop-gap at best.

One could set up a fake web site with really low discounts for them to respond to.
But we are almost 1/5 of the way to 2100: We should be prepared. [sarcasm intended]

The Wiki doesn't list the outage time, but at least one of them was way more than an hour.
Also, the duration of the outage doesn't have to be really long to mess up an airline, because the recovery can take days.
Hate to break this to you, but Amazon's cloud has been down more than the airline's systems have.
At least one very large cloud provider doesn't even back up your data: The contract says they are not responsible for data loss.
This does sound more like an example of how unsupervised government bureaucracies waste money than a useful spy tool, doesn't it. :-)

I don't think vulnerability is the correct term here. Don't you have to have some sort of security to have a vulnerability? :-)

The real key here is whether the access is "unauthorized". Given that the access code is published for the world to see, It's going to be really hard to claim the access is unauthorized.
How can you argue this is unauthorized with the access code is published for everyone to use?
The CFA makes unauthorized access illegal. It's kind of hard to define what unauthorized access is in this case...
