First of all, no one does have a monopoly on EHR systems. There are a couple of large players and a host of smaller ones. I would maintain that you Do. Not. Want. a monoculture here - or anywhere. Security is not 'maintained' by constant 'peer review' (that word doesn't mean what you think it means). Security is a process and open source software is only a small (and not necessary) aspect of that.
There is an open source, Enterprise grade EHR system - VistA from the VA (Veterans Affairs) Department. It basically sucks which is why no one else is using it.
You do want data to be transmitted between systems and there are standards and processes that help with that. Given the complexity of medicine, it's not terribly surprising that the standards don't work quite as well as you would like.
So the magic open source pony isn't going to save the day here.
Well, currently I'm a doctor. So I work on people-thingies. If they go away (or can't afford medical care, this still is going to be America), maybe I'll have to turn into a robot mechanic.
Hmm. Made of exactly the same parts. No annoying chemical brain to confuse things. An off switch.
Except that we have relatively crude ways of measuring hypothalamic (or for that matter, any endocrine) function. It may very well be a regulatory molecule that we don't know about and can't measure. Hundreds of thousands of proteins, peptides and RNAs running about that likely do something - we just don't know what.
What about a spacetime bubble that keeps her in stasis? It could dissolve when other people need to touch or communicate with her, but reform at other times to prevent her from aging. Unfortunately it would require an incredibly massive object to pull that off. It would have to be a black hole or a wormhole. And how it would dissolve, reform, or not destroy the planet Earth is a mystery.
Spacetime bubble that keeps her in stasis vs. complicated biological phenomena that we know a little about.
Yep, an Occam's Razor problem if there ever was one.
Guns are not pitchforks, tool one second, murder implement the next, they're designed for one thing and one thing only. To kill people. Believing a gun is something else, shows ignorance or... something else. That's not the kind of people who you can really gauge to find what's "reasonable" or not.
Deer and pheasants are people now? You must belong to PETA.
IIRC from previous discussions, we're talking an order of magnitude in size between wind based fines and water modified particles. Also the structure tends to differ. Of course, the summary is light on specific details so if you really distrusted it, you could wait for the formal paper. But I'm inclined to believe that the rocket scientists over at JPL know what they are doing....
the product is based on a digital model of the mother’s torso built from CT or MRI scans
I hope it's not done using CT (that's ionizing radiation folks, just at the precise time in an organism's life when you don't want to be exposed to ionizing radiation).
OTOH, maybe that explains, in part, the Japanese fascination for tentacle porn.
You could try some random page on Fox News. Such a page would make about the same amount of sense. You would miss HTML code that only a Geocities site could love, but you can't have everything.
Easy way around this...next time in the grocery store, show ONLY around the outside edges of the store...where you buy fresh vegetables, meat, dairy....
MMM. Tasty stuff on the outside, a hole in the middle. Reminds me of a donut.

Mr. Hamster, sir. Would you please move away from your computer and put your hands where we can see them. No not there.
We will be along presently.
Thank you.
It's been tried on 'postage stamp' bits of cloth. No mention of stability, durability, flammability or other useful properties.
'Superomniphobic', eh? Sounds like something out of a tacky Disney movie.
idots?

I've got a Roomba. Does that count?
Roll up your sleeves and bend over.
(And please, try to troll a little better next time. Slashdot is depending on you.)

Hmm. Progress!
For those few jobs that require human intervention but NOT fine motor control / complex or difficult hand / body movements.
Basically, warehouse work - which is done by meat Popsicles at present (who get one of those mysterious 'job' things). Now it will be done by robots.
Nice work, bozo!
Are you suggesting the robots are not US citizens!?
No, that US citizens are robots.

are the mental health professionals subjected to periodic and rigurous mental health checks ? are the results recorded in a database ?
No, they're crazy. Why do you think they're called 'professionals'?
My local gun store has a few oddball guns like you mention and two "AR 15"'s - both .22 LR and both in pink / black camo.
Stranger, more useless firearms I have never seen. I can't imagine how they got ordered. They will probably be sold by the end of the week.
And just try to get .223 (or even .22 or .308) ammo.

The meth head copper thieves are not going to be happy when this stuff gets deployed.
Just tell them it's charcoal and watch every barbeque in suburbia get cleaned out.
Get to moon on a regular basis in current economy = Pipedream, mostly.
The problem is that "Field of Dreams" happened in Iowa, not Kansas. And it was a fantasy, not a documentary.
the problem is it takes will power out of the equation
That's OK, most people are bad at math.

Mr. Shatner! Nice to see you on Slashdot. You should login!
Mr. Lovecraft? Haven't you got the dates confused? I guess I'm not too surprised, you being dead for quite some time.
