If you haven't already, you should try making an appointment with a sleep doctor. Mine was able to write me a new prescription without a new sleep study, just a regular office visit. Make those insurance companies pay for what you are entitled to!

Would it make sense as a good way for a foreign government entity to get access to this information?

How much of a market is there for HSMs that are not FIPS 140-2 certified?

For small businesses, Zenefits and other brokers offer almost exactly the same rates, which are the list rates of the insurance companies. The negotiation only comes in to play with larger companies (currently 50+ employees, next year it will be 100+, I think). For us, Zenefits seemed slightly more expensive, but it is hard to tell since they didn't give us good comparison data based on employee ages and coverage.

If you want to leverage the large company rates as a small company, you need to explore the PEO model, which Zenefits does not support, but ADP does (and several others).

I'm not really a big fan of ADP, but if Zenefits really did refuse to work with ADP to implement a real integration, I don't have much sympathy for Zenefits. They have enough funding they should be able to do things the right way now. I think Zenefits is trying to solve a real problem for small businesses, but we chose not to use them because the cost and the service level didn't make up for their nicer UI.

Why do people assume the Chinese government is not able to use similar techniques?

I think it is fair for people who make an enduring product to be compensated for that over their lifetime. I don't think your 20 year old burgers are still in demand, so no royalties are needed. If I wrote software to power a website (or an app) that is still in use 20 years later and people are still willing to pay to access it? Sounds reasonable to me.

The cable channel lineup looks limited (no ESPN? can you add HBO?), so I wonder if they will get much adoption there.

Internet pricing looks fantastic.

I think your chances of succeeding in your startup increase tremendously if you've taken a couple of years to work at another startup, see what is required to make it work, and see what problems you want to avoid, before starting your own. I also think, for CMU in particular, students have less exposure to the Silicon Valley startup culture than Stanford students. Hopefully that is better now than when I went, but being naive about the business side of things can have some pretty negative consequences when you try to start your own thing.

Of course, if you really have an idea you are passionate about you should go out there and make it happen. But maybe find some other more experienced CMU folks to give you some advice while you do it :)

How about the steps noted in the post? Make sure you have a good password, use two-factor authentication, and be careful about clicking on any login links? It could also be incentive to change accounts, or change to a different communication mechanism. As long as this warning is triggered by actual data, I am not sure how you could categorize it as "FUD" or even political activism. Hacking into accounts should not be political - it should be criminal.

The study multiplies the information density by the rate of speech, and you are correct, the Japanese rate of speech is the highest, but it did not compensate for the low information density. This is likely a result of the small number of syllables present in the language (~400 compared to ~7,900 in english).

Of course, as many people here are saying, the analysis is based on written text and reading out loud, not spoken conversations, which would probably require a different analysis.
