It's paying $100-200 a year to be able to get labs done pretty much immediately, schedule appointments easily, sit in waiting rooms that aren't depressing, and have a PCP and office workers that are nice to you and treat you like

Cribsheet, by Emily Oster. She also has one about pregnancy, Expecting Better, which might help you support your wife in decision making at the hospital when you go in to deliver.

You're not understanding the timescale or the context of the immune system's evolution. Imagine a cluster of unicellular organisms forming a multicellular organism for the first time. A multicellular organism stands a much better

That extra amount likely would have been more than cancelled out after your kid went to school, due to higher future wages (raises over time, plus your ex not having a huge gap in her work history).

It sounds like you are putting well more than the 150K in with your year worth of effort on the prototype. In my experience, bringing someone on who does not currently have skills that are immediately useful (besides "enthusiasm")

Yeah I watched Ken Burns' Dust Bowl series, curious to find out how the dust bowl was resolved. Long story short, it was solved by pumping water from the aquifers which will eventually run out.

My induction was invasive, uncomfortable, long, and I definitely had mixed feelings about being pressured into it by doctors. If I had NO choice in it, it would have absolutely been traumatic. Might have been boring for you but maybe ask yo

Many times you need the data/visuals to get funding to actually implement ideas.

Yeah, I lived on a "street" called Shady Forbes Terrace, which was actually just a sidewalk.

Totally. My 2014 iPad mini is now retired because it won't run the latest versions of some key streaming apps (I mostly use it to watch TV in bed). I know if I had already downloaded the apps in the past I would be able to install old

I've had the same reaction to that word, until I actually looked it up and it's more about you care about something so much you're willing to suffer for it. Soo... a little different than the colloquial version. I still disli

I would try to avoid this FOMO mindset, it leads to burnout/possibly depression in like 5-10 years. I would focus on a) finding out what problems you are most interested in working on and b) having some fun while you're young and

Yeah I think it's sometimes just about time spent. I have a 15 month old and my husband and he have always had a strong bond because he's around all the time: He works from home, has more flexible work than me, and I have an offic

You know, maybe he just has a huge blind spot when it comes to optimization: Because he's so good at it, he overestimates others' ability (and possibly appetite for - I personally find optimization grueling and soul deadening work

Ok then crappy 3dof VR on mobile, of which GearVR was a variety. Bottom line, Facebook/Carmack pushed mobile vr prematurely in order to get the most users possible, but the experience sucked and users lost interest. Meta just made th

by 1auralynn 4y ago
Yeah in my opinion him pushing so hard for GearVR seriously negatively impacted the industry. Tons of people had their first intro to VR be some crappy 360 video on mobile VR and it did lasting damage to society's perception of VR

Not to mention it also may spur innovations in different mediums: More time-based art, installations, video games, etc.

by 1auralynn 4y ago
To me, it's an art vs. craft issue and there are many shades of gray to the discussion, because the root is really based in the question that every first-year art student is tasked with answering for themselves "What is art?"

When it comes to lighting, I've realized that a portion of the population (possibly the majority) prefers everything extremely brightly lit with overhead lights. I prefer soft warm lighting with many small lamps scattered around and lo

Exactly? I wasn't the one who classified Drew Barry's work, widely acknowledged as some of the very best and most accurate in molecular animation, as "lies" ... so, not really sure what you're saying? In reality, hu

There was a part in Isaac Asimov's autobiography that stuck with me, where in high school he wasn't the best student in any subject. However, he was the SECOND best at EVERY subject, whereas the "best" students were only

Yeah I mean, we could just never use real structural data and just communicate purely in symbols that way users would know it's "not real", or inherit a billion dollars and come up with a perfect simulator and high-end comput

On the other hand, if everything is always presented in its full complexity with a million caveats and you lose people because they don't have the prerequisite knowledge to be able to digest it, I guarantee this will result in many, ma

People like this are one of the reasons biology visualization is so difficult: Nothing less than a perfect simulation is good enough, and any editorial/design choices to make certain processes perceptible to humans are problematic in s

That's not correct - adrenaline (which is what beta blockers mess with the release of) absolutely has effects on brain function.
86.
by 1auralynn 4y ago
You should definitely try beta blockers instead. Just ask your doctor, say it's for public speaking - they'll probably give it to you, it's a very common issue. Very few side effects for occasional use and completely dampens

Yeah the lesson with getting IRB approval if you want it done in less than 6 months is to always use an external IRB (if possible). Institutional IRBs are sloooooowwww.

The Earth is overpopulated, and also you're completely disregarding that women may not want to do the insanely hard work of growing, birthing, and raising a child in lieu of other work they find fulfilling and which could potentially h

I actually was offered a free one by them, but because they would have given it as a 'gift' vs. an 'extended loan' I would have had to pay like $1k in taxes for it so I passed, knowing that I probably didn't have ti
