All in all, the Chisti bottle-based ventilator shows what can be achieved by stripping an idea down to its basic principles. Effectiveness, it neatly demonstrates, need not always go hand in hand with high tech. Can't be said enough.

Again, what's the solution? For people to care to vote for change, they need to care to research and understand the subject themselves, and then consider it a priority after researching well. I doubt that happens. People are getting th

The interesting thing is that Xi seems smarter and wiser than Mao ever was. Well, in matters of war, Mao was really smart, and hopefully, we'll never have to see Xi tested that way because if we do, it'll probably be during a worl

I guess I'm curious how to make them familiar with such topics. When my dad got cancer, he researched to become an expert on all things cancer as much as he could. When I started getting chronic pain in my hip, I started learning about

Whenever I hear the latest issues with local news and various attempts to solve it, I am reminded of Grisham's book The Last Juror . For whatever reason, it dramatized the effect that local news can have on a small community that mad

My friend at Google told me it was the same. So much talent in the company that a lot of really good people were essentially sitting on the bench. Don't know how it is now, but he told me that a little over a decade ago. I imagine i

I don't ask this flippantly. Is it possible that he simply wasn't as good as he thought he was? In situations like this, I often find the company culture can suck, but I also often find that people overrate themselves and aren&#

Did you try reading the above linked NASDAQ link? Total overall revenues: Alibaba reported revenues of RMB80.9 billion (US$12.23 billion), up 61% from the prior-year quarter. Also, revenues came in slightly above the Zacks Consensus Estima

I do not believe those institutions are lacking in funds for research. Even if they get more funds, they will still be incentivized to do R&D only on high-potential opportunities with high probability of product development success. Sha

I was originally thinking that putting this in monetary terms would cause the rich to have an inordinate advantage for free speech. Then I realized that the larger their speech reach, maybe the larger their financial penalty (taking the exa

Well, of course. What I'm wondering is what's the logically defensible legal defense argument?

Trendy at the same time. They're contemporaries. Related by circumstance. It's all just marketing.

So they're supposed to put LeBron in the game with no tattoos or fake different tattoos? If someone had a special haircut, could the hair stylist copyright the haircut? If someone had a special makeup job, could the makeup artist cop

I tried joining a dance class at my gym. I looked ridiculous. I have no confidence that I'd look as good as the coach even after a year of practice. Well, I think it helps that everyone else in the class is in much better shape than

Hey, it lists answers too. And it's concise. That makes it immediately useful. I was expecting a list of questions, and the interviewer is expected to just muddle through picking the ones for which they knew the answer. Not only is

Democracy is good because it basically allows for a peaceful revolution if a populace is dissatisfied with its government. Democracy is bad because the government risks enduring endless bickering and nothing getting done. Etc, etc. I don&

You know, I can't recall his background or what he did for a living, but he was short and silver-haired. It would be a heck of a coincidence. :)

You can't call local specialty foods ethnic food. That's not what the phrase means. Yeah, the BBQ was good, but I didn't get the "best in the world" effect in my mouth. I once ate meat cooked by a Texan at a house

I'll be downvoted for this too. Visited some friends in Memphis. Was told this restaurant was amazing, it's famous, that restaurant was amazing, it's famous, so on. Tried them all. Wasn't impressed. They were OK, bu

It is rather a curious thing that something so simple and not valuable in the past to one person could be seen as so unique and valuable to everyone in the future due to simply surviving the passage of time. See much of archaeology.

So would this Master's degree be a better alternative in an employer's eye or show that someone is a good fit? That's the important question. Otherwise why not get the certifications instead?

Looking at all the comments here, I imagine this is more of just a cash grab. They see the trend and the opportunity to make some money using their name. Serious employers would look for OSCP, less serious employers would look for CISSP,
