Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: Marketing to Doctors
bremnet says...Great link, thanks for posting. My GP is a whore. OMG.

it really is quite interesting!
4th column over is Amount. order by clicking the arrow next to it.
we could make a game of this, and find the doctor with the highest payoff!
so far, this one is my highest.

The ambulance-drone is capable of saving lives!
bobknight33This could also bring a pulse oximeter and ECG with the defibrillator,
The strip chart would easily indicate if an heart attach occurred or is occurring.
What you really need a self monitoring device with an imbedded defibrillator that also notifies EMT with you GPS.
I thought the same thing but assumed that the pads they put on the patient was able to diagnose if it was a heart attack and needed defibrillation. I cant imagine they would treat a patient without professional medical knowledge of the patients condition.

Amazon Echo (Early Beta)
ChaosEngine"Upgrade"???
They've taken a useful device that millions of people already own... stripped it of a screen, a camera, gps... made it non-portable....
sorry, what is the point of it again?
OMG It's a REAL thing?!
I liked the one by @maatc better. It seemed more like a Siri upgrade....with attitude and typical 'web knowledge' (not real knowledge).
Beautiful Aerial Drone Footage - Doesn't Always End Well
oritteropoAll that was required was for the RTH to climb 20 metres first and it would've been fine!
Don't some drones retrace their steps instead of drawing a straight line from current position to the initial GPS coordinates? Even a customisable minimum altitude for RTH would be enough in many cases.
Any drone pilot worth his/her salt has done this a few times. Geography is a harsh mistress: don't lose line of sight!
Nixie: Wearable Camera That Can Fly
newtboyWell, perhaps with currently available public domain parts, it's not possible. That doesn't mean it's completely impossible.
The flexible frame might be hard, but there ARE already wristbands that un-bend to make a flat device, they've been around for decades, I recall seeing one in the 90's. Making it support flight might be hard, but not impossible, especially with the small forces this thing provides.
You say there are already 2" square quads out there, this was closer to 18"square(6"X3"), so the 'it's just too small' argument falls flat.
Battery time might be a factor, but a 5 min video is pretty good for now, plenty to prove the concept. Also, battery life is increasing fast.
The camera and GPS in a phone hardly uses any battery power too. These tiny devices are really not hungry enough to make them a power drain problem, at worst they might limit flight time slightly. Also, there's no GPS needed really, it could operate by keeping the subject in frame at approximately the same distance...then it could just follow you through the trees, using the image to avoid obstacles. It would take some computing power, but not an outrageous amount. Perhaps it's paired with a cell phone to do the computing? That part wouldn't be hard.
Again, because the tech isn't available on the market today (and I'm not at all sure that's correct) doesn't mean the tech isn't available to some, or creatable by intelligent people. I just don't see this as that far away.
EDIT: The airdog seems like it's everything this wants to be, but large enough for a go-pro. I see no reason at all they couldn't miniaturize it all.
Flexable/foldable frame...check. Size issue...check. Battery life...irrelevant (so long as you get over 1 minute)...so check. What were the other 2 technologies you say don't exist?
This is absolutely 100% not possible at this time. Not in this format at least. I fly quads. I manufacture quads on a mass production basis. If this was a single technological step away from where we are currently, then maybe it could happen, but this is at least 5 technologies that do not currently exist or are in very early development. Just to start out with having a flexible frame that can support flight is quite a concept. Don't even get me started on the wrist watch size. The smallest quads out there measure about 2" square using 5mm brushed motors, and a 100MAh lipo battery. The best flight time you can get with it is about 5-7 minutes and takes about 15 minutes to charge(from a USB port). that doesn't leave anything for powering a camera, or GPS.
Anyways, the technology doesn't exist to make this thing close to feasible. Closest thing like this on the market right now is this:

ex-jediMy wife had the same kind of symptoms. She was diagnosed with Celiac disease and irritable bowel by her GP. And I learned the hard way to double check that I get gluten free chow. A night with her alternating between throwing up and curling up in a ball on the bathroom floor means I read the ingredients label on everything... twice. Moral of the story I guess is go see a doctor.
My gf had terrible headaches, constant nausea, and terrible drowsiness whenever she was hungry for her entire life... until I met her. I suggested she might be hypoglycaemic and should carry around a sugary treat or drink wherever she goes. She started doing that and quickly her hunger sickness symptoms could be basically controlled. But they were still there. One thing I always found strange about her eating habits was her insistence on having lots of bread. She never felt satisfied or full without bread.
After a year of doing that my mom suggested she might be gluten intolerant. My gf had never heard of the concept, had zero friends on any kind of gluten free fad diets. She decided to give it a shot, no gluten for 4 weeks. Boom all symptoms gone. More tests led her to trying out gluten after a week, and what do you know it was back. She waited two weeks, back again. Eventually she figured out a system in which she could have a gluten meal/snack/treat every four weeks without symptoms appear.
Also, she started to feel satisfied and full without an urge to eat bread, almost like the bread caused a weird drug like addicting withdrawal cycle which seemed to be why she always craved it. The gluten seems to build up in her system, or at least the allergic reaction and her body goes through a withdrawal after she has had too much, or too much too frequently, and doesn't get more in her system soon enough.
I eat gluten just fine. Together we eat vegetables, meat, fruit, and occasional pieces of the best gluten free bread (most of its sucks). I tend not to eat tasty gluten stuff around her unless it is a treat day for her Gluten products also make people fat, so it really isn't a problem to not eat them. No one on the planet requires gluten to live a healthy lifestyle. Bread, white bread in particular just gets converted into sugars and fat inside the body. It is empty calories.
Incredibly Fantastic Motorcycle Accident
PaybackThe libertarian side of me disagrees, but I think active GPS tracking for any bike over 250cc would do a lot to help cut down on idiots.
The main problem is you can spend $5,000 and get a vehicle that can accelerate to 60mph in the low single digits, and easily go over 150mph.
Try spending even twice that much on a car and get any where near that performance.
I'm thinking maybe that tickets for moving violations on motorcycles should be stricter. If you're determined to consistently drive well above the speed of traffic, weaving around cars, you probably shouldn't have a motorcycle license.
Though they're certainly a minority amongst motorcycle riders generally, I still regularly see quite a few people (typically younger dudebros) driving in a way that makes a gruesome accident a statistical inevitability regardless of their skill level (that they likely overestimate, to make things worse).
Rap Critic: Gangsta's Paradise by Coolio
xxovercastxxI'm 35, HS class of 96, so Gangsta's Paradise came out early in my senior year.
I remember there was a volunteer exercise in health class where we were asked to bring in a song that we found powerful or meaningful, play it for the class, and then discuss it. Someone brought GP in and, during the discussion portion, the teacher told us that so far at least one person in every class had chosen this song.
Even people like myself who generally did not listen to rap appreciated this song. Only the honkiest of honkies felt otherwise.
There was definitely something about this song in that time.
