True, which is why, according to the New York Times, Barack Obama, the Democratic Party, and Priorities USA Action Super PAC raised $80 million more than Mitt Romney, the Republican Party, and Restore Our Future Super PAC(1). Though they al

Thats a good point. In the US the ONC/HIT at HHS has put out recommendations and rules for the schemas for data storage. Which is what the documents you reference are about they are about defining the building blocks used to store and

Am I the only one who thought judith faulkner's quote was hillarious? "Let’s say a patient is coming from U.C.L.A. and going to the University of Chicago, an Epic-to-Epic hospital. Boom. That’s easy" Well no kidding! Your

There are no enforceable standards and no governmental body has come together to figure out the standards for data transfer. I don't think its going to readily happen either. Currently, each company (the Epics, GEs, etc) will ALWAYS sa

This article is starting to bug me. First, the author makes the claim that the team was given the McDonalds for use for this particular mission but that, as far as I know, is false. They have had the space for some time while they were rest

I know they are doing this as a community service... because, I assume they feel it is their honor and duty to do so... but why the hell do these guys NOT have at least a donate link/button on their site!!!!! This is crazy. I know they

But that doesn't mean we humans are "safe". Knowledge is power but its not a vaccine.

That is a total overstatement/generalization.

But how many times have you had a flu where you bleed out of your orifices? Me.... none.

That would be the case if it were not for the fact that it is really good at surviving in the human body.... until the person is dead or until they have developed antibodies to fight it. Some people do survive Ebola (aka the plague or the b

Your chances of recovery from Malaria are far higher than recovering from Ebola. Malaria is more of a regional issue and does not necessarily have the ability to reach pandemic levels where Ebola, because of its communicability, does. Edit:

Update: Man Most likely does NOT have Ebola but they are still testing him/waiting for tests to come back. "A New York City hospital is examining a sick patient who recently returned from a West African country where the deadly Eb

Under that line of reasoning there could be no science done involving any type of living creature, both big and small (like bacteria), unless it was purely non-contact observational.

by nospecinterests 12y ago
I think that could be one reason/assumption. Though I think generally humans think that living creatures can all suffer. After that it comes down to acceptability and return.

Where in this article did it state that the experiment was unethical? Only 2 people objected over what was essentially 2 different committees (with different people on those committees). Both committees approved two different, yet closely s

I can tell you with 100% certainty that Madison in general is one of the most left of center, left leaning (more liberal than liberal), cities in the country, not just the midwest. I can also tell you with 100% certainty that the University

I think it is a natural human reaction to physiologically distance yourself. If you didn't then there would be no scientific progress. That being said if a person were to go out of their way to be especially cruel or sadistic or unethi

I assume your joking about doing an equivalent experiment with human beings, right?

So what if it was controversial? Some decisions are controversial. This one received more discussion, input, and thought than most other plans. Just because it did it doesn't make that decisions wrong or unethical.

How does the intelligence of an animal effect how that living creature should be treated? For example, do you think it is appropriate to treat a monkey better then one should treat a dog or cat simply because a monkey has a higher mental ca

Really? What type of terms would you need/agree to to allow for the resale of a digital or physical item? If you want more than the original sale price of the item then you are charging way too little for the original sale.

It really helps to put in an air exchanger. If our office space didn't have one the stink would be unbearable in the summer. It also helps to change the filters every couple of months.

Is it just me or is this the 2nd or 3rd time this has been posted on HN? I read the same article (which was/is great) last year from a similar post on HN last summer.... Maybe its just me I don't know.

Well then the obvious answer is to hold no one responsible. Especially the people who are currently, willingly, and knowingly violating Federal Law and their own policies..... sarcasm. In reality, they will pass legislation, that will proba

True and True. That's why I quoted only a portion of the article and why I checked their source material (the link I put in its place). I originally used it only because it was A#1 on the top of Google when I originally searched for a

My comment has plenty of substance. However the comment I replied to had none and did typical partisan finger pointing and generalizing. How was the substance of the quoted material partisan? Who cares where it comes from as long as it is t
