A small update on the blog: how to implement access segmentation for administrators in the CMS hybris, assigned to a separate area of a page (known as a content slot). By default, this cannot be done in Hybris at all. You can limit access to a component or an entire page, but you cannot limit access to groups of components (for example, the footer).

I once experimented at the Mail.Ru Tech Forum with transcribing speeches into text near real-time. Several operators were working in parallel on pieces of video, which were then assembled together.
Now I’m watching CNN, and they have subtitles running in real time. How do they do it? I went online to find out, and it turns out that stenotypes – keyboards + software for translating live speech into text – have been around for fifty years. And it’s managed by just one operator.
The main use of stenotypes is in courts. Here’s a link – a very interesting video about how to type text on this stenotype. I’m sure what you imagine doesn’t match how it actually is.
I wonder why mail services and social networks don’t provide a “CreditScore” service, where an email or social media account’s trustworthiness is numerically assessed?
There are numerous factors influencing the CreditScore: the same CreditScores of “friends”, i.e., those who receive messages or are on the contact list, content analysis, activity – a plethora of everything. The formula can be as complex and confidential as you want: after all, these are the provider’s rules, and if a user disagrees with the score, they can switch to another service or create a new email (which will have a zero CreditScore).
For complaints with proven facts (like spam), the CreditScore plummets.
Where this might be needed:
1) authentication of an email in various services. For example, you could skip confirming an email for those with a high rating.
2) color-highlighting emails from people with a high Score. For instance, emails from certain score thresholds could be prohibited from being placed in the spam folder.
Of course, people will immediately start looking for ways to boost their CreditScore, but the parameters listed are quite costly to artificially increase. Plus, it’s fairly easy to verify if there’s any complaint, and all efforts could collapse.
Theoretically, a major player, like Mail.Ru, could thereby open up a new market, which other players may enter later, establishing some standard. These CreditScores could merge across different accounts (social networks, mail) of the same person with their consent, thus further enhancing it, etc.
Anna Artamonova, perhaps there’s something useful in this.
Medical bills gradually come in. Jumping ahead, I’ll say that it cost me nothing because insurance covers 100% of expenses up to a $2000 quota. After that, it’s out of pocket.
So, Lisa went to the doctor for a procedure that included: teeth cleaning, examination, prevention, panoramic X-ray, and a radiographic image. We’ll go for treatment the day after tomorrow. The bill came only for the examination.
So, just one examination cost $371 (out of the $2000 available per year through insurance!). The clinic billed the insurance $530, but then their lawyers fought it out, and settled on $371. Also, there’s a limit of two exams per year. The third time, you’ll pay 100% out of pocket, since the limit is reached.
Payment works like this: first you receive treatment, then comes the bill, including the amount agreed upon between the insurance and the clinic, usually seen for the first time. The clinic might give some estimate of the amount, but if you don’t ask yourself, no one will talk about the money. And if you do ask – you’ll just get the procedure.
How much an implant costs – better not to think about it.
All this points to two things: everyone knows that Americans have pearly white teeth. This comes at a high cost, but primarily because from childhood, they know that even slightly neglected teeth will definitely backfire.
