Food assistance isn't for the poor, it's to make sure the poor aren't poor, starving, and looking to rob/kill the rich. The total cost of all food assistance programs is about $75B or.5% of GDP, a small price to pay for a calm underclass.
Thanks, that's the first time I've seen actual guidance on specific technologies as it relates to HIPAA. The lack of guidance on actual implementable solution was one of the biggest frustrations when the enforcement piece was coming online for us as recommending specific solutions was considered dangerous territory as it seemed like the law was written in such a manner as to give you enough rope to hang yourself with (or to allow bureaucrats to target anyone they wanted).
Can you point me to the part of HITECH that requires FIPS certification, because the NIST checklist still has the standard HIPAA style policy driven directives, not prescribed technical solutions. (section 164.312(a)(2)(iv))
Reread what I said: If you can't make a robot without realtime video processing
I was commenting on the fact that these robots are working without vision systems, since it's possible to do some form of realtime video processing in the given specs it should be trivial to make a system that's only working on a handful of non-video inputs work in the resources provided.
This exactly, much like SarbOx it's mostly a minimum framework for organizations to write their own policies (in fact HIPPA doesn't specify ANY technologies, only policies). Specific auditors might require specific standards in order to make their jobs easier (checkbox auditing) but the law is much more vague. In reality if you put in a goodfaith effort to protect patient information and followed your organizations published guidelines it's highly unlikely that you or your organization will be fined unless there's a finding of gross negligence (ie I wrote the encryption key on a postit attached to the outside of the tape case).
Dude, it's a small nonprofit hospice, it's doubtful they HAVE an IT guy, more likely a consultant they bring in to fix something every few years. I know because I worked consulting in a practice focused largely on smb medical and only our largest and/or most profitable customers ever engaged us for anything more than break/fix. I got out just as HIPPA enforcement was coming online and almost none of our clients was prepared despite the fact that we had sent along information for several years pointing them to organizations that could help them write their policies (we got nothing directly out of this, though given the state of many of their IT systems they would have needed services to become compliant with legal minimum practices).
Look at every SOHO router released in the last 10 years, small flash for OS+base programs and some ram to run code. Boot from a bzip2 image to ram drive and execute from there.
LOL, back not too many years ago when I was in college those were workstation class specs. In fact I knew a group that did realtime American Sign Language interpretation in only twice as much ram and about 50% more storage on an Indigo2 workstation. If you can't make a robot without realtime video processing work in those specs you're doing something wrong.
Just run Debian under chroot on Android, that way you only need to maintain one image and you can use it for both purposes. The only downside is X is a little lacking running that way so Linux GUI tools aren't it's forte.
No, purchase prices are around $1,100/sq ft no way is anyone getting $720/sq ft for annual rent! Your valuation would put a 500 sq ft loft at about $10.8M, I know Manhattan can get crazy but it's not that crazy =)
HP D6000, 210TB (70x 3TB) in 5U, You can get 1PB and a good chunk of render equipment (256 cores and 12TB of ram) into one rack. As far as the geographically dispersed, I know PJ sends dailies from Weta Digital to the studios and to London but that's a small percentage of the overall volume (though still a significant amount of data for the cross Pacific links).
Average Manhattan commercial realestate is $58/sq ft on an annual basis, round it up to $60 or $5/month. Average cubicle is 8x8, assume a really inefficient layout of half cube half shared space, you get 128sq ft per employee or $256k per month. The numbers aren't coming close unless someone on top is taking a hell of a lot out of the company or they're spending a good part of the loan on bribes.
Let's assume an average weighted salary of $45k, that gives us a fully loaded cost of ~$65k per year, or about $2.2M per month, where's the other $1.8-2.8M per month going?
Nah, having used one of these you just plug it into HDMI and USB for power (both are on the back of most TV/displays today) and use Bluetooth for keyboard/mouse and WiFi for networking. We got a couple to use as the drivers for a digital signage project, plug it into the back of any tv and turn it into a digital sign that you can update over the web. The things we found missing for that application were GPS for inventory management and cellular for updates at sites that lack WiFi coverage. We could have used a USB cellular card but that kind of defeats the elegance of a stick computer with two cables.
That shouldn't work anymore since frcp allows the requesting party to specify the format they wish to receive and a judge is unlikely to say "well, you can't produce in pst so go ahead and print it all out". I know our production for the last few years has all been in one of the industry standard formats.
Hey, at least you guys have actually made it to the superbowl and you're in a much smaller media market with arguably a less fanatical fanbase (it's taken almost two decades of mismanagement for any significant percentage of seats to go unsold)
Oh, we've asked them, and we've spent quite a few millions of dollars on building them an all electronic workflow system with years of meetings and design sessions and user acceptance training and pilot phases and the only thing it's done is slow the growth in the amount of paper produced. Our reporting vendor has thrown up their hand on multiple occasions because they generate reports so large that the merge engine runs out of memory (which they of course print out, even though no person could possibly read the entire 500+ page report and make any sense of it).
Anyway, my point was that nothing requires carbon paper these days, we print stupid amounts of accounting and legal paperwork every day and not one sheet of it uses carbon paper.
Huh, we do nothing but finance and law here (we're a REIT) and in the six years I've worked here I've NEVER seen anything involving carbon paper, everything is done with multiple copies. Hell some of our deals are done strictly electronically (a depressingly small percentage, but still some are done that way). On the other hand our finance people kill trees like they're going out of style, one floor printed over 4 million pages in 22 months.
What we need is the equivalent of anti-SLAPP for patents, some kind of quick process where a judge can examine the filing and make a summary judgement including awarding treble damages to the defendant for all costs incurred.

Wow, somebody on slashdot has yet to install flashblock? I think that says more about you than it does about their site =)

Except GPU's suck for any code that needs branching.

Skyfall was 2:23 and at most there might have been 5 minutes I might have cut.
