This is what I wanted to know, and what I suspected. Thanks! Assuming you carry E&O, would you mind telling me who you buy it from?

The regulatory process overwhelms those incentives anyway. If you can cut down on the 8 to 10 years to market you might see more drug companies pop up chasing a long shot

I'm not saying we can fix all the problems with drug prices by fixing the patent system. Shitheads (am I allowed to say that?) like Shkreli will always do shitty things. But those cases don't drive most drug prices

It costs a quarter to manufacture each pill but the manufacturers charge several dollars for that pill. But they don't just price gouge. Drug companies need to file patents on their drug almost as soon as they sketch they come up with

I brought it up since his profile pointed me towards a dating site, which is prime ground for predictive analytics. Also, the website didn't have a "careers" section that I could readily find.

I'm in the same boat. The clients demanded that I work in Matlab so I worked in Matlab. When I work in Python or Node.js or Scala or R I don't have too many issues going from Unix to Windows or vice-versa. Matlab exploded, and it&

A friend of mine used to teach at one of those programs. He quit because he got sick of parroting placement numbers he knew were fraudulent. The ones who got good jobs were good applicants. They would have gotten the Dev job anyway. The one

I have an idea: if a research study doesn't go the way you thought it would, put it out there. We need a central repository like Arxiv where we dump the experiments that didn't work out so that we can quickly compare a "succe

You could say that about college in general. College doesn't make people successful, successful people go to college

It sounds like PPE basically does what Oxford designed it to do. Before PPE would be bureaucrats and ministers studied Greek and Latin. Then Oxford decided they may need training in something more practical. Throw in some stats and basic da
