Swiss sausage sizzler 4.0 hits 200 bangers per hour
Thursday 24th May 2018 07:58 GMT 
Re: No Char
The sausages like the ones in the picture tend to be pretty flavourless*; charing the outside gives them a bit of flavour.
*Even after quite a few years living on the Swiss/German border, I still haven't grown to love their sausages. And don't get met started on Fleischkäse, which is kind of a solid pâte-like hunk of processed meat that is fried - the literal translation of the name is "meat cheese"...

Slurp up patient data for algos that will detect cancer early, says UK PM

Re: It's just a BS "reason" to allow patient data to be sold off
>It doesn't require machine learning to early detect cancers. It requires repeated high resolution scans of the areas of concern, and diff analysis of the scans over time to detect change.
At some dosage the radiation will cause more cancers than it saves. Moreover, it'd also pick up tumours that wouldn't cause the patient any bother in their lifetimes.

Re: He has records? Lucky chap!
One can assume the tome now resides in storage, misfiled for eternity. I'm rather glad I don't (fingers crossed) have any issues for this to be fatal, others in this situation may be playing russian roulette on emergency admission.
As I mentioned above, I temped in a hospital records library for a while; there was a double-sided shelving unit, maybe 8m long, 2.5m high with individual bits of paper that had not been labeled properly. As temps we were also sent to look for notes which had been put in the wrong place, for example for #10020 you'd check #10200, #10002 etc.
We also spent a long time (two of us for a week) searching for a deceased baby's notes which was the subject for an inquiry. I have no idea if these notes were they'd been "accidentally" mislaid or not.

My records however are probably in a big brown folder, stored miles away, if you've been in hospital you'll know it takes bloody ages anytime these need referred to. If you're (un)lucky they may be electronic and again take ages to refer to.
After graduating I worked in a "library" as you describe. This particular library was on a different site to the A&E unit, so from time to time an urgent request came through which would be found ASAP and then transferred by taxi. They were just about to start digitising the records when I moved onto a graduate level role.
They operated a reasonably sane way of protecting "famous"* records, they kept them in the locked when empty supervisors' office and were then fetched by senior people when needed.

In my work it's someone's job to do the audit. A couple of years ago they realised there weren't enough toilets for the men (this is an IT group). This really upset the ladies in the office (as you'd expect)...

Grown up way of dealing with things
The client even learned something – Matt said “additional protocols were put into place by the client to prevent this from occurring again.”Matt’s company learned something too. “We only install our software on dedicated systems for production environments,” Matt told us. “Oh, and I still have a job - as the senior tech engineer.”
This sounds like quite a grown up company. They didn't hang the techie out to dry for a mistake (which was probably worsened by the Company's procedures) and they change their way of working to lower the chance of it happening again. That sounds good to me.

Re: Fire Safety Training
A few years ago in the last(?) Fire Fighter strike I was working in a lab in Cambridge. We were informed that if there was a fire then we really ought to get ourselves out as the soldiers on cover wouldn't enter the building...
Interestingly, the old LMB next door had specially trained some of their staff to go in with the Fire Brigade as the building was such a maze that they'd never be able to find their way around.

Having said that, LG are terrified that in the UK and elsewhere, other telecoms players will be able to deliver fast internet without a cable network. Already happening in some markets (Switzerland, IIRC),
Correct. The fastest “UPC” (owned by LG) offer is 500/50. One of the mobile phone providers, Salt, is currently offering 10Gb!!! Most of the other vendors are offering up to a symmetric 1Gbs now. Of course if you live halfway up a mountain then you’re on an ADSL variant of some kind.

Adobe, 'hyper personalisation' and your privacy

True personalisation
For true personalisation you could go to one of the many handwashes dotted around the UK these days. The guys* there will get to know you over time if you're a repeat customer. If they know you then you might even get free stuff over time or even know things like where your cars gets the most mucky.

Measure for measure: Why network surveys don't count what counts
Tuesday 8th May 2018 12:47 GMT
The most important network function people want in the UK – and we gave them a long list – is making voice calls. 69 per cent of people want that. Texting is important for 53 per cent of people, and the web third, with 43 per cent.
In the days of Skype, WhatApp etc. aren't people forgetting that the "web" is the most important criterion for reliability for many people?
