<p>Do NOT put your phone on permanently silent so that phone calls don't ring.<p>Disable most notifications altogether, especially: email and any form of group messages (like WhatsApp group).<p>For 1-on-1 instant messages / SMS, display a silent notification.<p>For specific email, create a special notify tag and sparingly assign it to urgent threads and some sent messages. You can also use filters to assign the tag automatically.<p>Deny notifications for most apps.<p>All calls should ring. It may be something urgent even if you don't recognize the number. It may be someone close to you calling with a hospital phone before heading out to emergency surgery. It may be the police. This is why you don't want to default to blocking hidden numbers unless you really have to.</p>

<p>In the context of documents, the lack of font choice regarding Times New Roman could be partly attributed to the fact that it was the default font on Microsoft Word until 2007. The irony is, of course, that it was replaced by none other than Calibri.</p>

<p>It's important to note that there's geographic variability in guidelines. Also, the article doesn't give enough information about the author's other risk factors. For a similar patient (based on the initial lab results), treated by a doctor adhering to the European guidelines, at least the following items would have been considered:<p>- Lipid lowering drugs<p>- ApoB testing<p>- Coronary CT (if the pre-test likelihood of obstructive coronary artery disease was estimated to be > 5%)<p>- Diabetes tests<p>- Kidney tests</p>

<p>These algorithms do exist.<p>Indeed the victory for the AI here is the ability to convince the author to take immediate action. The second win for the AI is the concise one liner the author tells the triage nurse so that her further diagnosis and treatment may proceed. A regular human being would be likely to start with a long form story of not feeling well for some time.</p>

<p>What is this? The Journal of Tautology? They repeat the exact same thing 6 times in a row.<p>> Back in the day, cops used to touch the tail lights of cars they pulled over <i>in order to leave fingerprints as evidence</i>. Reader’s Digest spoke with experts who said that the practice marked a car in case the stop went wrong — <i>leaving evidence that the officer had been there</i>:<p>> According to Nick Fresolone, a retired police-academy instructor with the New Jersey State Police Academy in Sea Girt, New Jersey, <i>the “taillight tap” leaves fingerprint evidence on the glass of the taillight</i> to prove that the officer was present at the scene. Ultimately, says Fresolone, if things escalate or otherwise go awry, <i>the officer’s touch to the car’s taillight will have left a fingerprint in a place where investigators would know to look for it</i>.<p>> Criminal defense attorney Joe Hoelscher says that this routine maneuver serves as a sort of breadcrumb left to <i>prove that the police officer had approached that particular vehicle</i>. “Leaving a thumbprint on the brake light is an old-school way to <i>tag a car with a fingerprint, so it can be identified</i> conclusively as the vehicle involved in a stop should the officer become incapacitated,” explains Hoelscher.</p>
