> Maybe the software could have presented this better

I think there is plenty of room to improve the software in this area. Other EHRs might do this differently but the EHR that I have worked with previously basically had the "recent travel" field be a simple fill in the blank.

What if instead, the input from the field was matched with a database of locations? Once a location is selected, it could use online data of recent outbreaks and long term viruses/diseases of the region that was inputted.

Like you said, the medical staff wouldn't have ever thought "Ebola" as it has been 24 years since the last (and only) case of Ebola in the US. I am not even sure if Doctors would know the symptoms of Ebola to begin with, its just not something to be expected.

If that doctor was given a list of outbreaks and common viruses/diseases of the country the patient visited, it could have maybe allowed him to diagnose his symptoms by just seeing the word "Ebola" pop up.

Blog spam. Absolutely nothing added to the discussion or any actual connection to the video.

They found DNA evidence on 3 of the victims, that is completely different then finding DNA evidence on one victim.

Wouldn't there be a conflict of interest no matter who the CT O of the United States is? Anyone who is qualified for such a position would be coming from another company. The current CTO was a lawyer for Twitter, which you can say there is a conflict of interest there as well.

How do you hire a qualified CTO for the US without having potential conflicts of interest?

If you know of anyone qualified for the position but yet doesn't work for a company then I guess I am wrong but having work experience is kind of a requirement.

Or he could promote the use of bitcoin in hope that one day his suppliers do actually accept it.

In your analogy, these auto factories would also bundle each bought car with a horse.

Google sells TV service, just like any other TV provider.

(Not disagreeing with you necessarily, just pointing out a flaw in your analogy)

Branding problem, or a content problem?

I would be very careful about hosting that website as the website itself is illegal. Sure it isn't a gambling website, but in the eye of the law, a website used to download a gambling application would be just as illegal as a gambling website. I hope you took the precautions necessary to ensure that you won't have legal issues incase of Chancecoin becoming popular.

I guess we can just wait until they have a website and see if the logo is using this method.

But none of the information gained from the reflections were not obtainable in another way. In the first example with this image http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-G-MF-A05uSs/U2CA_n8IKfI/AAAAAAAAAZ... He claims it could be three possible hotels from that area. Yet it can actually only be one because there is only one hotel on that side of the road (you can see the road below). I went from that picture I just posted to the actual location without reading the rest of the blog. I have never stepped foot or even seen a photo of Miami. Those buildings are extremely unique. Once I found those buildings, I moved the view around in Google Maps to get me the EXACT point of reference which could have been two different hotels. but Like I said, only one on the correct side of the street.

On the second example, I was able to locate the picture simply by Google Maps. There aren't many buildings with domes on the top of it that is basically right next to water. It took me 3 minutes. Once I found it, I lined up the shot and found the building. There was only one it could have been. With a quick google search. To find which floor the picture was taken on, all I had to do was find which floor was completely straight in the photo (which means he was leveled with that floor) and then translate that height to the other building (by guessing). I guessed floor 17 which was one off and was the exact same guess as the blogger.

Basically, the blog post makes it seem he uses reflections to find where buildings were. In reality the reflections were not useful to locate the building, only to find interior shots after the location is discovered.

I don't know a single person that has a subscription to either of those two services...

Not sure but I strictly use a mobile device but only to cast to my ChromeCast (so only on WiFi). So I guess the Wifi vs data is more important than desktop vs mobile.

When the event occurs (the one that people are predicting), the users themselves declare which outcome actually happened. The outcome that was voted most as being true is the one considered to be true. To stop people from gaming this system, your outcome-declaring vote is also tied to a weight based on previous outcome-declaring votes and how they relate to what was considered the true outcome.

ON THE morning of December 23rd 1991 a fire destroyed a home in Corsicana, Texas shared by Cameron Todd Willingham, his wife and their three daughters. The fire killed the girls; Mrs Willingham was at the Salvation Army store shopping for Christmas gifts. Mr Willingham survived. The next year he was convicted of setting the fire. He was sentenced to death and executed in 2004.

His conviction rested on arson investigators’ findings and the testimony of Johnny Webb, a jailhouse informant who claimed that Willingham had confessed to him. Shortly before the execution, Willingham’s lawyers sent the governor and parole board a report from Gerald Hurst, another arson investigator, detailing multiple flaws in the first investigation. He concluded that the fire was caused by a space heater or faulty electrical wiring. Officials appear to have received this report before Willingham’s execution, but did nothing with it. Several independent arson investigators reached similar conclusions.

Mr Webb testified that, as he was passing Willingham’s cell, he heard him confess to having done the deed to cover up child abuse committed by his wife. But no bruises or signs of abuse were found on the children’s bodies.

Mr Webb recanted his testimony in 2000. He then recanted his recantation, but admitted to a journalist that “It’s very possible I misunderstood what [Willingham] said.” Mr Webb also testified that he was promised no benefit in exchange for his testimony. In February, however, lawyers working to get Willingham a posthumous pardon revealed a note discovered in Mr Webb’s file with the Navarro County prosecutor promising a reduced charge “based on coop[eration] in Willingham”. On April 3rd Texas denied Willingham a pardon. His lawyers can reapply in April 2016.

The article states "However, most Google Chrome users are left in the dark, as Chrome performs neither type of check for non-EV certificates by default. Instead of conventional revocation checks, Google Chrome relies on an aggregated list of revocations, dubbed CRLSets, which are compiled by Google. The revocations from GlobalSign's CRL have not yet appeared in Google's CRLSets and hence Chrome users will not be warned if presented with a potentially compromised, but revoked, CloudFlare certificate.

The CRLSets deliberately do not cover all CRLs in an attempt to reduce the total size of the aggregated list. In effect, Google has traded the completeness of their revocation checking for a speed advantage over rival browsers as downloading CRLs or making OCSP requests imposes a performance penalty."

Maybe with news of Heartbleed a chrome update happened which forces chrome to check for revocations? Might just be a UI issue with showing it as an option and could be always on. Is there any way to test if it does indeed do the check?

Most likely not though. in the Dev branch its fixed and I was able to turn it on.

I am pretty sure the extra complexity would still outweigh the benefit of losing 500k bc at one time.

Depends on the device.. This is perfect for phones.

Which means Mt.Gox did originally indeed stand for Magic The Gathering Online eXchange. Doesn't really matter if it was finished or not when talking about what the origin of it is.

it's not that they don't necessarily have the functionality- maybe they just don't use it?

What ads actually have facebook user's pictures in them? I have yet to see any.

I think the whole article is sensational. I don't see any ads with actual friends. I do see what they like, but not actual ads. The author is just wording everything to make facebook seem worse.

What does this have to do with Facebook? Anyone can take a picture and share it without your consent.

so to him- its common sense to not search a demographic due to it being unreasonable, but also common sense not to search a demographic when it actually is reasonable?

sounds like a contradiction to me.

it depends on the size and popularity of the specific store. In my city, they don't care if you are there all day, but when you get to the busier and smaller locations, they start to lose money because of people sitting around.

nicely put, never thought of it like that.

however, DNS also has an issue for this particular audience. A simple typo could land you on a completely different site which I think is why navigational searching is more useful for those in a rush or those that can't type. I even find my self doing this time. If I ever need to get to thesaurus.com, I usually just type t, h, e, s and then mash the letters a, u, and r a few times and then end it with an s. it isn't that it is hard to spell, but I just find it easier and Google seems to almost always get what I am trying to type so quickly that spelling it correctly wouldn't really make it much faster

I am assuming the ad offer would take many things into consideration. the main one being distance, I doubt you could really use such a feature to actually get to somewhere you need to go.

I would also like to point out that every ride they give, and every offer a customer uses, they are getting that much more data to create better behavior guesses which will help show the ads that would be used instead of abused. I also could see this being offered only after you have put in a destination (and thus also your credit card which means you actually need transportation) and if you are going to an area with a ton of restaurants at 5pm, it might instead suggest a restaurant (not near the destination). this couldn't be abused as easy.

I honestly don't see a way this couldn't be profitable in the long run knowing how Google uses all of their behavior data. (this all really depends on the car being self-driven)

Of Course this isn't a bug- It's a feature. the only problem is that there isn't a confirmation screen when it detects that you have put a person's email address in the incorrect spot. All that is needed is for a popup to ask "Would you like to send this event to email@example.com?".
