Best way to ensure something you don’t want people to see goes viral: Ban it

I’m currently struggling with our startup’s CTO over this point. He is from BigMediaCorp and wants a way to account for our developer spend. Tracking story points is his method. Hopefully I can argue …

Sure but who does most of the research, especially of new drug/compounds?

Thank you for posting. This is a huge problem. The FDA is under regulatory capture by the pharmaceutical and medical device industries. Contrary to what many believe, a lot of drug studies never see t…

They are wholly incompatible. The choice of the Angular name for this new framework was just marketing, beyond some similar design choices. Probably there are better ways now but here’s how I did it: …

Clickbait and snark acting like substance. It seems the author’s main goal is to rope in broader issues with gender or ethnicity imbalance in the software industry and blame Agile, but I fail to see t…

They offer the checked person the option to get a report of whatever they found and reported to the company.

Meaning you focus more on integration/e2e testing over unit tests? That jives with my own inclinations. I’m ok with much lower unit test coverage levels on the UI where I can use something like C…

Imagine the strong selective pressure as humans moved to larger social groups and agrarian societies. These were ruled by strongmen interested above all else in most cases in collecting the highest ta…

Things that work for me: -Teaspoon of Calm magnesium powder before bed. Not every day but a few on and off. -no phones or tv in bed -no blue light for at least 2 hours before bed -dark dark room -sam…

1) NNT meta analysis (one of a very large body of literature): https://www.thennt.com/nnt/statins-persons-low-risk-cardiova... 2) Best I could find in 2 minutes. Will look for th…

Have them ask their doctor about the NNT of statins (number needed to treat). Statins reduce cholesterol, and boy do they do a good job. But what are the outcomes? Despite the hypothesis, Lowered chol…

Sure but the list of drugs that cross that barrier is long. Everything from antibiotics to statins. And even if they didn’t, the body is a tightly interconnected system. Taking an antidepressant to “s…

Front end / back end

- Wave of antitrust legislation takes hold and some large tech companies are broken up or forced to sell, making their owners even richer. - traditional higher ed becomes increasingly irrelevant. A de…

Right, and by that same logic, the author was just exploited by the buyers of Juicer, who thought they could make more money off his IP than they paid him for it. There is no such thing as “true value…

I have a uHoo and it’s been great. The readings are inline with some control sensors I got to test the readings.

Glad to see this here. Really a good and funny listen, but it’s not just comedy, it’s also top quality satire — you laugh, but it also makes you think.

As others have said, it’s not really when pulled out/concentrated as in OJ, date sugar, coconut sugar, or other processed fructose. Plus your body treats fructose like alcohol and most of it gets…

I’m reminded of the concept of the “50-year Newspaper”. A imagined newspaper only published every 50 years and only containing the most important stories of that span of time. Almost everything in the…

In the spirit of the article itself, who cares? He said Taleb was a friend, maybe he gave permission to copy? And even if not and he stole it, how is that relevant? It’s a good long form article with …

The point though is how you handle it, not necessarily that you were a good fortune teller or not. What I’m not quite clear on is how he would’ve handled the situation differently by “running towards”…

> Vice Media, the insurgent media brand known for its arch take on youth culture and entertainment Arch? In what way is Vice’s coverage of youth culture playful or teasing? They seem to take themse…

Unfortunately they will probably point to the poor sales of this model as justification that this pro tower market really is dead. “Sorry guys, for some reason only Marvel editors bought these so were…

On the bright side, maybe we’ll find more Ötzi’s!
