I think you're both right. The commenter above you is just taking the short view and you're taking the long view. Automation is great for long-term productivity and the supply of better, cheaper goods/services, but you can&#x

Are you trolling? You're accusing management of onboarding an H1-B, paying a sign-on bonus, paying relocation expenses and then paying them for 2 months to surreptitiously "pad the relatively useless team" so you can initiate

You can make any number of arguments why X, Y or Z is bad (or, "considered harmful"). The truth is, if you want to get stuff done, objects often fit the domain well enough and put state in predictable places. A bandaid here or the

I'm assuming you're referring to RATHL? RATHL attempted to show a treatment regimen was non-inferior to bleo, and didn't. The results are quite controversial, and bleo remains standard of care for many Hodgkin's cases. H

It's genius marketing-- they were guaranteed a "surprising" conclusion that people widely share. edit: The point I'm making, perhaps too tersely based on the below response, is a flawed study can be designed where every

Think of what this means for voter representation. You just made it much easier for people with computer access to vote, compared to those without who still must trek to the polling place. I doubt the demographics represented in this vote w

Nope. Docker's value isn't just its software. It's the support built around it, tutorials, familiarity and common usage, Dockerfiles, huge Docker Hub, existing setups relying on it and so on. Articles like this tend to overlo

Vagueish advice for a vaguiesh problem-- When presenting issues, I'll almost always fallback on something like this-- 1. Details of the problem with history of other related issues. 2. 1-2 sentence assessment of the problem that helps

I think most consumers take "savings" to mean "reduction in purchase price." Obviously, (or not so obviously) Tesla's sales-page means something different. But even if you dig into the asterisk next to the "aft

Explanation here (from 2004): https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2004-12/msg00681.html It's not that GCC proves the uninitialized variable must be 0, it's just that CCP sets it to 0 and everything happens t

This library has a GPDR consent problem-- just putting it at the end of the README doesn't cut it. I wonder if this is the first open source library to violate GPDR.

A few things off the cuff as a physician-- the US has dangerously unequal access to care. I suspect most of the "drag" on life expectancy is from patients without access (this is conjecture but based on personal experience). Even

The linked CNN article is a very poor summary. It doesn't even include a proper citation, and the link to the study isn't directing to the one being discussed!? Come on, CNN. I recommend reading the editorial in Stroke instead: h

I'm sorry but I have to point out the irony in showing so much disgust about a few lines of code that happen to literally say "I love you."

I too wish everything in medicine was cut and dry. But oftentimes precise numbers are unavailable. More qualitative reasoning such as "high risk," "serious morbidity or mortality" is usually given in medical assessments.

Reading some comments in this thread you might think physicians are unable to apply Bayesian statistics to medical care. As a physician myself, I'd encourage a more considered line of thinking. Clearly, physicians here failed to calcul

From the article, "Because the manufacturers haven’t yet proven there is significant enough life-safety benefit to a laser-based matrix system, regulatory reworking is a tough sell." Because of the regulations, the burden is on th

They're baking up soy hemoglobin in yeast and purifying it to add to non-meat burgers. This is particularly neat considering how complex the human heme synthetic pathway is. I suspect even in soy, it's more than just producing a &
