"UK scientists have designed an implantable microchip that attaches to the vagus nerve, which helps to control a variety of body functions from heart rate to hunger. The chip, which is just a few millimeteres in size, is designed to read electrical and chemical signatures of appetite.

"A former NBA All-Star is accused of squatting in a home in Arizona and then trying to make money from it. Chris Gatling played for eight NBA teams during his 11-year NBA career. Stability wasn’t a reality for him while in the NBA. Apparently that is still the case as the former professional basketball player has been charged with various criminal offenses, which include theft, forgery and identity theft. According to a police report, Gatling moved into a Paradise Valley home without the owner’s permission by breaking into a key box. He lived in the home from July 2010 to August 2011. The power was on and it was furnished, but the owner of the home lives in California. Not content with just hanging out in someone’s home, Gatling then decided he wanted to rent out the house he was squatting in. So naturally he put an ad on Craigslist. The ad said: "800-dollars — 4 bedroom Ex-NBA — Paradise Valley Home for rent with pool and utilities included.""

We "knew" that someone would unmask in pro sports. Who decided to be first is news. That someone felt they could do so is probably bigger news

Recently, I've seen support for marriage equality really take hold. Last month, 13 Chicago area black pastors publicly voiced their support. That is huge. Collins's announcement may not be as "big" as people think. The needle is moving.

He's the first active player to be on the news. But definitely wan't the first in the sport. http://abcnews.go.com/Sports...

Well, I think the "active" part is a considerable distinction.
- Victor Ganata
The bigger news will be is he signed by any team. He's not on any teams right now so it's kind of a grey area, he's not an active player. If a team signs him that will be big I think as it will be post coming out. Meaning a team thought about it and any consequences and went with him. He's not a spring chicken so he might never play again without it having to do with the being public about preferences.

Sure, the needle is moving, but I'm wary of saying "so what?" to this story. To me, doing so feels like how some people say "Well, now that we have a black president, now we can stop talking about race."
- Victor Ganata
Well, he played the 2012-2013 season but is now an unrestricted free agent, so, yeah, we'll see if he gets to keep playing, but I think this is fairly different from athletes who came out long after they retired from the sport.

That's a trip his twin brother never knew.

"I'm not afraid to take on any opponent. I love playing against the best. Though Shaquille O'Neal is a Hall of Famer, I never shirked from the challenge of trying to frustrate the heck out of him. (Note to Shaq: My flopping has nothing to do with being gay.)" -- He should burn in hell for coming out as a flopper.

"Every year, 4,600 Americans are killed in work place related accidents. Every 28 hours a black person is killed by police, corrections officers, security guards or vigilantes. Every year more than 30,000 people are killed by gun violence in this country. The odds of being killed by a terrorist are only 1 in 20 million. These statistics are rarely mentioned and never had a chance to be addressed after two bombs were exploded during the Boston marathon. Death under horrific but commonplace circumstances attracts scant media attention or political action. Acts labeled as terrorism, which are unlikely to kill anyone, bring an inordinate amount of hysteria among the populace and cynical attention from press and politicians. Just two days after the Boston marathon a fertilizer plant in West, Texas exploded, killing 14 people, most of them the much worshipped “first responders.” The risk of dying in an industrial accident is far greater than the odds of being killed by a terrorist, but no...

I'm not going to deny that doctors can often be uncaring, ill-tempered assholes who don't listen. I certainly have my bad days. But the idea that some programmer who will never see a single patient in their life can instruct a machine to have even more empathy than the average M.D./D.O./P.A./N.P. just strikes me as the acme of ludicrous insanity.

Two reasons why you are wrong. 1) People will have lower expectations of a machine. 2) A programmer can socially engineer a better empathetic experience. We've seen this through the AI challenges. It's not the hard to fool people.
- Todd Hoff
I don't think fooling people into thinking they're being treated by a real human being versus by an automated script is necessarily all that ethical, but what do I know.
- Victor Ganata
...but the programmer can download feedback of thousands (if not millions) of patients reactions to those doctors, and write a clever algorithm that will factor out the low-rated doctors... advantage programmers/data-scientists. +1 math. The doctors' records will haunt (or reward) them.

Is this something you envision happening within our lifetimes?

I mean, the Federation EMH seems fairly believable for the 24th century. But I don't think it's going to be out in the next 18 months.

A machine that you think may care is better than a doctor who you are sure doesn't care.
- Todd Hoff
So it's totally OK if I give you sugar pills instead of chemotherapy for your leukemia without telling you, because you seem perfectly fine now? The ends justify the means, I guess? Well, maybe you're right, maybe people won't care about such ethical conundrums.

Not even what is being talked about Victor.
- Todd Hoff
I believe it is similar.

But like I said, I don't doubt there are many physicians who don't listen. But I suspect the solution to that is to find a physician (or physician assistant or nurse practitioner) who does, not to substitute with a machine that only feigns to listen.

I don't know. Given the sorry state of all EMRs on the market right now, I have serious doubts that they can even parse the data available, much less act on it.

I'll be real upset when I ask my robot doctor a question and the reply is "The Doctor has crashed. Would you like to restart The Doctor?"

We have that now when the doctor has your wrong paper work and even though you've seen him a dozen times has no idea who you are.
