Wouldn't there be an implied consent to routine data collection during a physician visit? A clinician may also make notes on patient appearance or mannerisms that they feel may be relevant to the diagnostic process, not to mention non-invasive tests based on touch.

I've moved to a work from home arrangement so I can have my own office.

To that point, wasn't it Ballmer who really pushed for MS to spend $40B on Yahoo?

Being part of an org that uses O365, searching for such a product is the first thing I did after seeing this.

"Deadlines are always arbitrary. Deadlines are a tool used by managers to control costs. That is their only purpose. Often, managers try to justify deadlines by citing other dependent deadlines, but those deadlines are always just as arbitrary." - Alan Cooper

Adam Corolla tells a story of an old Nissan pickup he had when he was younger and poorer. It was so easy to steal he wired in a hidden switch to power the fuel pump, truck was stolen a couple of times and he would just walk a couple of blocks to where it was abandoned. I believe he also painted the stereo brown to as a deterrence to thieves looking for stereos to sell.

Lots of great ideas here and this is a long shot but you could try to engage the placebo effect. Go get some bullshit homeopathic “medicine” as a pseudo-treatment for your fear. The great thing about the placebo effect is that it works even when you’re aware you’re being treated by a placebo.

Since Germany/Deutschland has an ‘e’ shouldn't it be “whiskey”?

I was pleasantly surprised he was 47 when he did this, not that he wasn't qualified or capable, just assumed there would be a bias towards a younger astronaut.

What I'd like to know is how Bezos convinced investors & shareholders to accept those razor thin margins and profits for all those years. I get the growth argument, but we're into 20 years since its IPO and it's only lately that we're seeing profits.

I wonder if YouTube Live and other similar services could scale up to serve in a time of true crises. Back in 2001 the web's bandwidth limitations were laid bare on 9/11 and that was with static text & pictures. CNN had to go to a "bare bones" text site and even that had trouble.

Things have improved dramatically since then of course but delivering live video to billions of users simultaneously?

I've heard Drew Pinsky rail against physicians for their role in the epidemic. But he also mentions an assist from the legal community in that they've taught patients they are entitled to lengthy doses of opioids.

Despite the evidence showing only short term benefits to opioid treatment physicians fear being sued by patients for refusing to continue prescriptions. I believe the argument is "Pain is the fifth vital sign."

I have 2 kids and have consciously tried to avoid the helicopter-parent mindset and let them play on their own. But now as they approach adolescence I find myself more interested in how they spend their free time. Not so much hovering but making sure they are busy, gentle encouraging team sports & activities as an alternative to just "hanging out."

I believe the audience here skews younger but for those of you that have raised kids to adulthood, any advice? And for you more recent adolescents, how did you experience parenting at that age? When I look back it seems to me that the smartphone has changed everything.

I agree but I look at it as palate cleaner after the prequels, that being said in episode 8 Finn better not end up in carbonite.

probably not, this is a good dry run for car financing though
