That explains the difference. In the U.S. the CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, a Federal government agency) makes available for download the master source files from which everyone else (EMR vendors, the AMA, all the book/disk/training vendors) starts. And those files are absolutely simple: a few fixed-length space-padded fields followed by a single variable-length field for the unrestricted-length description.
Although admittedly we're focussed on a specific sub-sub-speciality, we have found no errors.
I'd love these California dwelling CEOs to come up to Canada (or even, *gasp* Buffalo) in the middle of February and see how their "self-driving" cars do. Winter is a 6 month reality here and I'm not very interested in a "self-driving" car that works or less than half the year.
6 months?? You wimp! Where I live, summer started last week, and will be over by next week!
I can see how having 70k codes can track issues, but I have to wonder a) what is this going to cost; and b) how in hell do they think people making 20k/year are going to do a good job at entering codes?
It's pretty ridiculous to have the 20K/year person translating to codes. The doctor should choose the ICD code. Before anybody argues with that, I write EMR software, and work directly with doctors, nurses, techs, clerks, and billing people. I've seen what a mess happens when the 20K/year person chooses codes, and I've seen how little up-front time it takes for doctors to figure out what codes they should be using, and also that over the long-term it's *0* extra time for them to do it right to start with, rather than trying to have someone else do it and clean up the mistakes.
Of course, some places still insist on doing it wrong;-)
Life on Mars has already been discovered by somebody, but they're rolling out this news slowly so people don't flip their shit.
Nobody's going to "flip their shit". The fundamentalists will simply deny it, just as they do evolution, with convoluted tales of how the scientists have made mistakes.
It's very possible that the photos in a photonic chip could be substantially faster than electrons in an electronic chip.
The upper limit on "substantial" is no more than about 50% since electric effects propagate at about 2/3 the speed of light (in a vacuum). It's actually less since light would propagate through photonics at 80-90% of the speed of light (in a vacuum). So, while I certainly would not claim that "substantial" is a misstatement, it does leave room for misinterpretation.
Absolutely true. My comment was from the perspective of a web site developer, not an end user. Site devs need to implement proper signing. Browser devs need to not let information from unsecured channels leak into information that is supposed to be secure. We need both, but the majority of us have no influence over the second one, and so have to focus on the first.
To wit, I'm not sure what good signing by itself would do, since a form of replay attack [wikipedia.org] could still be used.
"Proper" signing must include some reference to account or session or token, which must be validated against the current account or session or token. Granted, there's tricky corner cases, but "still logged in as John Smith, but my transfer goes to Jane Doe" is pretty basic to prevent.
I wasn't given any instructions on how to make sure they didn't cause issues.
You seriously could not figure that out on your own??? I think it's pretty fair for your bosses to expect you to be able to deal with basic math in the language you're paid to develop in.
This! We're still updating a dozen dev machines to XCode 6.4 for iOS 9 support. It looks like it is going to take two weeks since we're in Seattle and stuck sharing an ISDN line between almost twenty people. I wish Apple had a solution where you could download the update once then redistribute it.
They do, if, you know, you would bother to look in the "downloads" section of your developer account.
IF THE STUDENT WERE A WHITE CHRISTIAN, THE TEACHERS WOULD NEVER EVEN HAVE CONSIDERED THE POSSIBILITY OF IT BEING A BOMB.
And yet, historically, white Christian students have been more likely to bring bombs to school than brown Muslim students...

A hate group is not a terrorist organization.
True, although it's a decent starting point because there's so much overlap. Here's a better reference.
citations? boston bombinb ft hood those are the biggest terroristic acts since 9/11 were they white and christian??? didnt think so
I neither said biggest, nor since 9/11. I said most.
Notable and contemporary: Kaczynski, McVeigh, Nichols, Rudolph, Page, Dorner...
Less well known: a whole lot, actually--but if you don't want to read the whole thing, consider just the Aryan Nations and KKK...
In reality, the majority of muslims are normal people like you and me that want to live and let live.
Also, the majority of terrorists in the USA are white, Christian, native-born citizens.
The UK tools...

Who's sick of this guy's brainfarts being endlessly repeated & tweeted & written about like they were.... not brainfarts?
You mean "this guy" who has a long-established history of talking about futuristic things, then developing them, then shipping them???

...it takes quite a chunk of code to parse it correctly - and most users haven't written that code properly...
WTF? The format of the data is dead simple. Parsing it took me almost no time at all.

...what doctrinal notion is violated by the idea their creator also put some bacteria on Mars?
None that I know of--but I'll bet you a house payment they will come up with one!

So, thanks for confirming (although implicitly) that there is absolutely no problem with sites which properly encrypt or sign their cookies ;-)
If a 32GB model existed, 64GB and 128GB sales would be a lot lower, decreasing overall profits by 20-30%.
That's some pretty fuzzy thinking. I bet that the existence of a 32GB model would not affect 128GB sales by even 1 single phone.
Your basis for this scenario is that YOU CHOSE to upload pictures of yourself in Mexico as a married man that show you KISSING AN UNDERAGE PROSTITUTE
No, that was not the scenario. He chose to upload an innocent photo, and then the creepy tagging an analysis linked it to him in SOMEONE ELSES' PHOTO.
I wasn't given any instructions on how to make sure they didn't cause issues.

Myself, I am currently being impressed by the efforts of the golang community.
No generics? Not only not a set collection in the standard library, but no reasonable way to define one?
Go is a nice, tidy, compact little language. But...
Not informative, in fact disingenuous. Mod down.
Perhaps you'd like to point out the (alleged) inaccuracies?
Seriously, the entire 1st paragraph quote in the summary just sounds like a description of ISS, and yet...

Speaking of guns... when I was a HS sophomore (1978-79) we needed a "gunshot" sound effect for the school play.
In the same approximate timeframe, we had the actual gun on stage, actually fired by one of the student actors ;-)
The police were called, and they are compelled and required to investigate once called.
They have wide discretion as to how to proceed, what level of investigation to undertake.
They don't just show up and say, "Eh, whatever," and leave.
Of course they do, all the damn time.
The cost is now an expense instead of a asset purchase. You can claim on it immediately instead of having to depreciate it over several years...
Uhhhmmm. Section 179 anyone? It has been acknowledged to apply to software for years now...
(For those who don't know, expense the first $175,000 instead of depreciating...)

"The attack precedes 11 previous ones..."
So, wow, we may have much more to worry about after this time-traveling alien has finished probing the weaknesses in our infrastructure.
