Unable to look inside to see the textbook content, I went to the Bartlett Publishing website where it’s listed along with alternative textbooks debunking evolutionary theory and fossil forensics. Sorry, I’ll pass.

Scalability of state seems to be addressed by minimizing the need for nodes to retain the full state, and the main mechanism is shards. From whitepaper: “A further benefit is that any Atom that performs an inter-shard transfer is present i

I was comparing their #1 Cold Spring Harbor Lab to HHMI Janelia Research Campus, which doesn't even seem to be ranked in the top 100. Yet when I look at the research output, it seems pretty similar with the nod to Janelia in terms of

You don’t know how many people in the low-cholesterol group were on statins in OP article, correct? And despite you completely downplaying it with “the event rate in the control arm wasn’t 100%”, you don’t know how many people in the high-

Any idea how they're supporting ray-tracing? Haven't seen any details on AMD's answer to Nvidia's ray-tracing cores, but I presume it'll be part of RDNA, whatever that is, and use Microsoft DXR.

Re: there's robust literature on statins and it's settled. We're not talking about statin studies on CVD patients. We're talking about asymptomatic treatment. I'm not aware of any study that partitioned asymptoma

I'm suggesting that the reliance on a very fallible test (LDL Cholesterol) for asymptomatic individuals is bad. People could be started on statin treatment and yet have no underlying pathology. I understand CAC imaging is expensive,

> How would you tease that apart? CAD requires some amount of inflammation ... This was my point. On one hand, statin supporters use these studies to say "cholesterol lowering" is warranted, but there's no quantification

Mainstream medical understanding can move as we understand more about the nuances of the target populations. Here are some issues that I’m confused about: - studies that incorporate statins don’t seem to segregate impact of anti-inflammato

There's so much FUD it's hard to know where to start. You start with a rebuttal on "clearly falsified their technologies" and then transition to examples of how Tesla talked about products that people can't buy yet

That’s a silly analogy. Theranos clearly falsified their technology and were able to do it by hiding their product from their consumers. Tesla not only has been selling their product for years, but many of their consumers are very happy w

Some institutions won't pay for others. In our space, big non-profit science institutions like Janelia and Allen Brain foot the bill for making the data available. Depending on the utility of the data, Amazon ( https://aws.

That looks very interesting, particularly the UI layer for collaboration. Your website says it supports “massive data sets” but I would spell out what you mean since data for different fields vary by several orders of magnitude. (Massive

Med students accumulate horrendous debt and don’t actually make real money until they finish both med school and residency. That’s an 8 year lag in money making compared to a comp sci grad who goes into tech.

You can see synaptic receptors (T-bars and post-synaptic densities) in EM, particularly if the staining is good. Neurotransmitter identification, not so much. So you combine the EM connectomics with other studies like RNA sequencing or Fl
