I just learned today that not only does my company pack AdBlock Plus for IE into all of their images, but we have a script that runs on startup that installs uBlock on Chrome and Firefox if you've installed it. It is now literally less convenient to use Youtube on my mobile phone than it is to watch youtube videos at work.

As part of our new upgrade paradigm, San Francisco's version number will be incremented by 1 each time a new Googler moves in.

Shifty Pony posted:now they want to expand the targeted ads to TV. I don't understand why the concept of "commercial breaks" hasn't died completely. The only poo poo I watch live is sports. Everything else is DVR. The only ads I see are the ones that the TV channel shamelessly places for their own shows over the top of the screen. Given we're working with a 16:9 screen these days, I'd honestly rather see shows go back to filling their whole timeslot and just having ads come in and out on one edge with a "click OK for more information" prompt (I have uverse, which already has that tech available for regular commercials). I get more TV, the advertisers are assured that I actually saw their ad and didn't fast forward through it, the screen real-estate is enough that it's not that obtrusive. The TV channels are already popping up ads for their own content over the screen anyway. TV as it exists now just isn't sustainable because nobody is watching commercials anymore.

I love where I live sometimes.

how are chip cards even supposed to be more secure? target's new card readers make you use the chip slot for chip cards, but i haven't been forced to create a pin or sig, so functionally it's been identical to just swiping the card. doesn't seem any more secure to me.

EVGA Longoria posted:the security is that a magstrip basically just stores the number and sends it off, so if you skimmed one you could create a new card with that number on it and have a duplicate cc. emv stores it on the chip and (i think) uses asym encryption to sign it, so you can't just clone the card. the pin is more secure than that since the data is encrypted and the pin decrypts it (i think??) All the chip cards I was sent still have the magstrips though. Is the idea that eventuallly the swipe readers will just go away?

so basically i have to get all new cards so my great grandchildren can be safer from fraud? kool. i don't care, really. I'm shredding all my CCs this weekend. Leveraged my newly shiny debt-to-income ratio to refi all my credit cards into a personal loan with 1/3 the interest and I am closing all those fuckers. I can't trust myself with credit cards, even when I have enough cash to pay them every month. I'm keeping 1 around for transactions where I don't trust the vendor (online purchases and such) and that's it.

Muscle Tracer posted:people get legitimately angry when you ask to see their credit card, probably because nobody takes it seriously and just draws an x or a smiley face when i worked retail, everyone wrote "see id" on their cards. if they were nice, id just go with it. if they were a dick, i called over the manager to explain to them that their card wasnt valid.

Munkeymon posted:closing all your credit accounts will actually hurt your fico score, just fyi I know. We worked with a loan officer at our credit union and her estimate was that my score would drop maybe 15 points, and since I'm at 745 now, that doesn't really worry me. I own my house, we own our cars, and I can't trust my self with cards so I'm going to just remove the temptation altogether. I still have plenty of other types of credit open so it won't be as bad as if I just went off the grid altogether.

prefect posted:didn't they do a study where they had a no-tipping restaurant and the people who got the angriest about it were jerky guys who liked controlling the amount of money waitresses could make? Ya. I stopped being friends with a guy when I was out to dinner with a group of friends and he kept announcing each time he was deducting $1 from his tip for each perceived slight on the part of the waitress. Fucker was the reason I started having to do BYOB for my parties too, because I used to just get kegs and the fucker would just stuff himself full of the free beer until his stomach visibly bulged and there wasn't enough beer left for anyone else to get drunk.

Broken Machine posted:software in the medical field is almost universally terrible due mostly to the barriers to entry and how they're sourced, billed. If you go to a modern hospital, even an excellent one they're still going to be doing things like running some tests on win 98 machines and charging at least a few hundred for the privilege. Someone should fix that, it'd be a good way to make money but it'd be boring. It would be sweet if hospitals had modern systems and doctors with nice tablets and apps, but in a lot of cases they're working with really poor digital tools and paper records. good software exists. the biggest problem is that ceos and cfos want to see ROI on poo poo and since IT doesn't directly make them money they don't give a gently caress. i've seen hospitals where some nurse who knows how to click through a couple system config wizards is suddenly the primary it person. see hughmorris in the cavern of cobol for living proof of that poo poo.

Shaggar posted:also I would love to work for a clod provider like aws or azure on developing centralized integration for all major EMRs so 3rd parties can use that single clod integration endpoint to get federated access to any EMR. basically abstract away all the proprietary integration problems. so hire me please and thank you. shaggar, you are describing an HIE. there are a lot of them. the reason they don't work is that every vendor is too busy dickwaving about how their competitors aren't open and don't support standards by funding and propping up HIEs that only they interact with and then yelling at the press that nobody's supporting this OPEN STANDARD. the reality is that every EMR has been able to talk to each other through HL7/X12 forever and now FHIR. They just don't have any reason to because not sharing records encourages the stragglers in markets they dominate to move to their platform. I've even heard rumours from folks who come here for training from sites that ditched Cerner for us that Cerner writes it into sales contracts which HIEs their customers are allowed to send records through. like, seriously nobody in healthcare gives one gently caress about the patients except for the nurses who actually interact with people directly for more than 5 minutes at a time.

detroit posted:yeah but this requires both systems to have each other set up as an end-point where information can flow in and out of. so each health system needs to know about all other health systems/hies/whatever on the "network" where they might want to send/receive data, set up each one individually, and hope the people on the other end have done the same. sounds like a pain and a tough sell to the board, given how much the consultants and vendors will gouge you on the price for implementation + maintenance not quite. most HIEs have record discovery services. the end-points don't need to know about each other. they just send the patient's demographics to the HIE with a "got any records" message and the HIE either has an index of all patients who have records in any of the connected systems or a way to ping those systems for records. and hypothetically a lot more than what you list could be shared and could save a lot of lives (patients presenting in EDs with poo poo that seems simple but turns out to be more complex if the doctors had just had the complete records and 20 minutes to review them). Like, all those "mystery diagnosis show" type situations would never happen if: A)Doctors bothered to learn to use their loving software correctly 2)Vendors would stop playing politics with connecting to HIEs and just loving share their records via the very robust standards that already exist. Gamma) C*Os would loving shell out for their IT people to make 1 and B happen.

Shaggar posted:most HIEs are hosed by default cause of their policies around who can connect. The Shaggar HIE would only require agreements between parties communicating thru the HIE and the HIE would stay out of it. and then none of the major vendors would allow connections to you because you're not paying their stupid protection money and locking out their competitors. I mean, I guess we would, but our CEO is miss frizzle and literally wants every loving medical computer on the planet connected and talking in real time.

A friend attempted suicide that way and was unconscious and nearly dead when we found him. It's definitely possible to kill yourself with car exhaust, you just have to be a bit more deliberate about it.
