You also have no control of the file after you’ve uploaded it. The greatest limitation of WeTransfer is that all files are inaccessible two weeks after they are uploaded. But you will need to upload each file individually. And you can share as many files as you want. What is so cool about WeTransfer, in addition to its great design, is that you can share a file of up to 2GB in size. You also need email addresses of all the people you want to share the file with. All you need is an email address and the file you want to share. WeTransfer does not require that you have an account with them. You can store files using WeTransfer but they limit the storage period to two weeks. WeTransfer is primarily a file sharing site.

Dropboxĭropbox is a “cloud” service that allows you to store and share files. I’d recommend the Dropbox pro account over WeTransfer – you can do more with 1TB dropbox account. It’s very similar to dropbox, without the dropbox sync (which by the way is a great tool to have). Update: WeTransfer now have a pro account at $10/month and you can store the files in the cloud forever. These sites offer free and paid services, for now I’ll restrict my review to the free services they provide.

My house is definitely cleaner than normal.” But there is a risk you could be more sedentary, she warned. “There are a lot of other things you can do around the house to keep you moving: laundry, cleaning - all of that keeps you active. “Having a little more time, if you’re using it wisely, can be very beneficial,” said Marilyn Skarbek, an assistant professor of exercise science at North Central College in Naperville, Ill. You may be able to squeeze in more workouts. Even as companies consider reconfiguring workplaces with plexiglass barriers on desks and special air filters, letting employees work from home can help keep them safe from communicable diseases (and not just Covid-19). But it stopped increasing beyond 15 hours worked remotely. A 2005 study found that job satisfaction increased with each additional hour people spent working remotely. Patent and Trademark Office estimated it saved more than $38 million in 2015 by not using as much office space, according to a Harvard Business School working paper from November. Companies could spend less on real estate. Global Workplace Analytics estimated that people could save, on average, $2,000 to $6,500 every year by not spending on things like gasoline and day care. Office commuters make up only about 18 percent of all traffic, he said. And even if more people start working remotely, they might use their cars more for errands closer to home, said Bill Eisele, a senior research engineer at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute. Of course, when people return to work, the roads may fill up again, especially if people fear getting the virus on public transit. Graphics showing the reduction in air pollution and pictures of clearer skies over cities like Los Angeles have been among the silver linings of the pandemic. According to estimates from Global Workplace Analytics, a research and consulting firm, if everyone in the United States worked remotely half of the time, it could reduce greenhouse gas emissions from vehicle travel by more than 51 million metric tons a year. One well-known study from 2014 led by the Stanford professor Nicholas Bloom examined remote workers at a Chinese travel agency and found that they were 13 percent more efficient than their office-based peers.Ī cleaner environment (maybe). The average American who drives to work spends 54 hours per year stuck in traffic, according to an analysis by the Texas A&M Transportation Institute.

OK, so what are the benefits?įor remote work to be successful, employers need to provide the right equipment and other support, said Laurel Farrer, chief executive of Distribute Consulting, a business consulting firm. Remote workers have also reported they have had to work even longer hours. Isolated work can lead to loneliness and boredom. Researchers warned that problem solving and creativity suffer when workers are isolated from one another. Telecommuting was already a growing trend that left out many low-wage workers and was viewed warily by employers who worried people were slacking off at home. ![]() ![]() "Regardless of age or tech savviness," patients can use Alexa to "connect with their care team and stay entertained as soon as they settle in, while care providers can streamline tasks to make more time to care for those patients," she said.

Many ceiling mounted trapezes also slide away when not in use, so as not to obstruct views or reduce head space. This type does not require the bed to be placed away from the wall, as with free standing or bed mounted designs. When floor space is minimal, an adjustable ceiling mounted medical trapeze is an excellent solution. While they are typically lightweight for easier maneuverability and transport, they are also robust and durable in design, with bariatric models safely accommodating up to 1,000 pounds. This type is often utilized for physical therapy and other forms of exercise and strength training, and can be used while in bed, or from other surfaces, such as a wheelchair, or even the floor.įree standing medical trapezes are highly adjustable and can be used for a variety of applications inclusive of transfers, movability in bed, exercise and rehabilitation. It slides easily into the desired position. While many free standing designs feature the ability to also be connected to a headboard, many people choose the free standing format exactly because it is simpler to move to other areas. In order to determine the best hospital bed trapeze to fulfill your individual needs, it is important to understand the various configurations and designs available:Īs a stand-alone piece of specialized medical equipment, a free standing trapeze uses legs on the floor to provide stability. While the most common usage for a medical trapeze is to provide heightened mobility and leverage for a bedridden patient, they are also often utilized for physical therapy and rehabilitation purposes to help strengthen the torso, arms and upper body. Other types include free standing trapezes that are placed around and over the bed, but are not attached to the bed. Most designs consist of some type of bed or ceiling mounting apparatus along with a graspable bar that is attached with a heavy duty chain. Hospital bed trapezes are available in a variety of configurations and styles in order to fulfill the unique requirements of each individual user. Hospital bed trapeze equipment enables those confined to bed the ability to move around or more securely transfer in and out of bed on their own, or to minimize the help they do require from a caregiver. Also known as a medical trapeze or overhead trapeze, this specialized medical equipment typically consists of some type of hanging bar, such as a triangle shape, to allow users to grab the bar in order to shift their bodies.īecause people who are bedridden generally have some kind of weakness, disability or impediment to full mobility, trapezes can provide effective and secure assistance that allows users more independence. Designed to offer reliable assistance for moving, raising and lowering the body while in bed, a hospital bed trapeze helps those who are confined to bed get in and out of bed more easily, and to change positions. ![]() Drawing a graph is as simple as copy-pasting-dragging nodes. in the docked hierarchical layout panel, select Edge labeling in the Labeling section and set it to HierarchicĮt voila!

It’s deterministic, or at least it’s supposed to be.Īll computer software contains defects, commonly called bugs. It’s a series of algorithms that takes an input-financial information for the year-and produces an output: the amount of tax owed. But you can still think of it as “code” in the computer sense of the term. But hacks can be perpetrated on any system of rules-including the tax code. Hacking is normally thought of something you can do to computers.

It’s not all as bleak as it might sound.įirst, a definition: Def: Hack /hak/ (noun) - 1. Finally, I will discuss the implications of a world of AI hackers, and point towards possible defenses. Then, I will explain how AIs will hack the economic, social, and political systems that comprise society. Next, I will describe how AI systems will be used to hack us. First, I will generalize “hacking” to include economic, social, and political systems-and also our brains. In this essay, I will talk about the implications of AI hackers. This hacking will come naturally, as AIs become more advanced at learning, understanding, and problem-solving. They’ll improve as AI techniques get more sophisticated, but we can see hints of them in operation today. Some of the hacks I will discuss don’t even require major research breakthroughs. ![]() We don’t need malicious AI systems like Skynet (Terminator) or the Agents (Matrix). My scenarios don’t require evil intent on the part of anyone. I’m not assuming intelligent androids like Data (Star Trek), R2-D2 (Star Wars), or Marvin the Paranoid Android (The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy). I’m not postulating any “singularity,” where the AI-learning feedback loop becomes so fast that it outstrips human understanding. Okay, maybe it’s a bit of hyperbole, but none of this requires far-future science-fiction technology. We risk a future of AI systems hacking other AI systems, with humans being little more than collateral damage. It’s not just a difference in degree it’s a difference in kind. And two, AI systems will themselves become hackers: finding vulnerabilities in all sorts of social, economic, and political systems, and then exploiting them at an unprecedented speed, scale, and scope. It will hack our society to a degree and effect unlike anything that’s come before. And it is already deeply embedded into our social fabric, both in ways we understand and in ways we don’t.
