A good question worth considering, IMO. Take the Susan G. Komen Foundation as a present-day example of a foundation that, although founded with a righteous cause in mind, has (in some folks' estimation) lost its way, and/or become

You've not refuted the article so much as pointed out a corner case the author didn't address in which ML is a good fit. Your example, using ML to perform the medical coding function, is using a data source (in this case the EMR)

I wish the first thread I saw was this enthusiastic about Brother. I've got an HP delivering today because it sounded like the Linux driver support was more solid -- didn't see a mention of this proprietary cartridges nonsense. Me

If the hot startup trend suddenly became lean hospital systems, you'd see all sorts of articles about the ideal attending-to-resident physician ratio.

Worth noting that the author makes a significant claim without any citation: > That vaping works as a way to quit smoking... seems clear. Studies have been fairly limited so far, given the recency of e-cigarettes (relative to science&#x2

What they didn't report is the corresponding decrease in labor costs. If they save 1M in labor to lose 850K, they're still ahead.

If this had launched with Slack support two months ago, I'd have saved a few days development time. Interested to see the pace of partner adoption.

I would argue that even the ideal medical system would likely produce the same outcomes experienced by the author of the parent post. In our present stage of scientific and technological advancement, the following might as well be a Law of

This is how you know it was written by an engineer. The executive summary is at the bottom.

Forgive me for being blunt, but that's just how modern medicine works. No one has the Star Trek tricorder that can scan your body, read your genome, and detect a quantum fluctuation in your synaptic waveform matriculation to calculate

And don't forget the related metric: "number needed to harm". Physicians practicing good, Evidence-Based Medicine also weigh how many patients are likely to be impacted by harmful side effects. In an example from The NNT abou

As someone with a basic understanding of thermodynamics, I'm highly offended by the assertion that their cooling technology is "energy free".

In addition to tibbett's point (expressing technical accomplishments in terms of their value to the business), do some honest introspection on your value to your peers. I'm really just elaborating on Ms. Botros' article here,

I would argue that company-specific historical knowledge is not the value you (et al) are bringing. The value is the soft-skills of effective leadership that distinguish Principal from Senior (to use the article's parlance). Successf

I tend to agree, although with most things I think it depends on how heavily invested you are. Migrating a handful of mission-critical Lambdas is no biggie, but if you've really bought the bait and implemented your entire web services

I like using ACLs for my coarse-grained "this subnet is allowed to talk to this subnet" rules, and security groups for everything finer-grained. Maybe I'm over-cautious, but I don't want one rogue security group opening

Partial function application would be sweet. I wind up manually currying a lot of functions and readability starts to get sketchy. const foo = (a: number, b: number): number => { /*...*/ } to const foo = (a: number)

To be more precise, this was a decision made by the governor's office which essentially allowed these companies to act with very little regulation or oversight. I think it's fair to say that the governor's office is less repr

The tricky case is a bucket which is otherwise private but contains individual files that were uploaded with a public ACL (or had the ACL modified, of course). This is not made apparent anywhere in the interface (by which I mean there isn&#

Better than hoping your customers are carrying their own detection device, build such a detection mechanism into the rear of the card slot and have it periodically "sweep" itself.

I went from Java to (dabbling in) Scala to TypeScript. While my heart is still with Scala, the ecosystem around Node is incredibly persuasive. The speed with which you can accomplish practical tasks, like building a desktop app with Electro

When a problem seems to be getting worse but it seems like not much has changed, consider that the problem used to be just as bad, it's just not being swept under the rug as effectively.

Even for doctors who express awareness of the problem with opioid prescribing, it's not uncommon to believe that every other doctor is the problem, and not themselves. Either not realizing their prescribing is above average, or realizi

And yet the CDC notes that your likelihood of developing opioid use disorder rises precipitously after as little as five days on prescription opioids. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/66/wr/mm6610a1.htm
