I've heard about something similar in The Science of Well Being course (currently free on coursera, highly recommend.

I remember these as "if-then rules" for the mind. If you have some complicated challenge ahead you can mentally prepare for it thinking about the goal, then about how great it will be to achieve it and then about potential challenges and problems. You can set these rules ahead before you start. So when the need occurs it will take less effort for the mind to follow up (as you have some rules in place for the situation already)

Command+Shift+4 on mac. And on Ubuntu there was something too, but I’ve forgotten the combo

Shift+PrintScreen. It freezes the screen and lets you draw a rectangle over the area you want to capture.

This is what Windows 10 does when you hit print screen on its own (as of a recent'ish update).

Then there's also:

alt + print screen to automatically capture the focused window.

And ctrl + print screen to capture all monitors instead of the focused window.

I have serious doubts about this. His talents might be lost for humanity completely. Post-revolution and before WW2 there were a lot of constructors and engineers who were prosecuted, displaced or even worse by the Soviets.

The wikipedia says "After the Bolshevik revolution began in 1917, Igor Sikorsky fled his homeland, because the new government threatened to shoot him." (the citation link is broken, unfortunately).

This reminds me of Sergey Korolev's history. He was basically the father of Soviet rocket-building. He has survived the purges by pure luck. The leaders of his institute were executed, he was tortured to get the confession, lost his teeth, went through the gulag and got back. How many of these talented people ended up being not so lucky is hard to imagine.

Even the work results might not have protected them. For example, take the chief engineer of T-34 engine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konstantin_Chelpan. He got awarded for the invention, arrested and executed the next year, and then rehabilitated a few years later. There were so many stories like these.

Similar also to the aftermath of the Cultural Revolution in China, many scientists and other intellectuals never came back from those camps[1]. Presumably modern China would look quite different if that hadn't been the case.

That's a nice idea! Especially if you plan out a weekend trip with kids and don't want to spend more than X hours driving.

7) Expect some kind of sync with Apple and Amazon medical data (as they are moving into the field http://www.businessinsider.com/digital-health-briefing-amazo...)

8) Some kind of permission system to add additional people who can track patients data (could be relatives, other medical specialists, etc).

9) Connection to social groups (or even communities). This exists for rare deceases and deceases that aren't strictly medical.
