Actually I believe prison should be the option of last resort as nobody benefits from locking someone up where they can't work or benefit society. I would prefer compensation in the form of money or labor if possible. If not, then that

As an American, it's a tough situation. I recognize that our strategies don't work and that mass incarceration with no socialization programs is an obvious failure, but at the same time I demand people be punished if they hurt me,

This does not relate to the physician population studied, but I've seen older attendings in certain specialties use political clout to score more exciting rotations in critical care units after rarely practicing while younger attending

Sure, but they are framing the problem incorrectly which will poorly bound the types of solutions legislators will shoot for. If the problem is framed as "Walmart is abusing the system" then the proposed solutions will probably al

This seems like a pretty straight forward issue to me. If the minimum wage is too low for employees to live on in your state, then raise the minimum wage. Don't get angry with a corporation for complying with wage laws that your state

I was fairly skeptical as well, but then I showed this to my friend and she thought it was a great product idea (albeit potentially overpriced). Apparently a lot of people like to take fit pictures and also log outfit combinations which wor

I know someone making that much on a side project, and as you would expect they are very quiet about it. It's unlikely you're going to get much transparency with this question.

Does anyone have recommendations for IP cameras that (in theory) are relatively secure?

I can think of a number of reasons why this isn't done: * You can't run a randomized control trial in this fashion, which makes it harder to collect meaningful data. * You can't select the populations of people who are in you

>Nexium illustrates the drug makers’ strategy. Many chemicals come in two versions, each a mirror image of the other: an L-isomer and an R-isomer. (The “L” is for left, the “R” is for right.) Nexium’s predecessor Prilosec is a mixture of

The government does not pay for development, they pay for a portion of basic research across all research areas (and it's nowhere near 50% of all research funds or drug research funds). The entire NIH budget is about 32 billion. Large

It is because of the rating system ambiguity that five stars is the norm. It signals that there is unequivocally nothing wrong. Anything less than five stars could be interpreted in many ways and is very subjective: did the user have a prob

I agree. I'm consistently amazed at how many people I end up giving sub-five star ratings to these days, and I have been a huge proponent and defender of Uber in the past. If you pick me up promptly, follow your GPS, have a car that is

This happened to me moments after visiting the paste bin containing one of the Phineas Fisher after action write ups on my phone, so needless to say I was initially pretty terrified. I haven't seen any indications of new sign ins on my

A lot of it is people over hyping their results and cherry picking their data to fit a narrative. Can you blame them? You can literally build a career off a paper or two published in Science or Nature. Meanwhile, no one controlling funding

I believe you can have whatever auth mechanisms you explicitly allow. You will get prompted to use the key if you enable it, but you can also select alternative authentication methods when prompted for the key.

It's much more complicated than that. Sales in the US where they can charge more are what actually offer pharma companies good ROI. Effectively the US is subsidizing R&D for the rest of the world.

Expertise is generally pretty narrow. For instance, I heard him speak about bio and pharma about half a year ago and he made several statements that were categorically incorrect and poorly reasoned through.

My parents bought a house with a similar system installed, albeit from Crestron. It has been a constant source of frustration and disappointment. The AV control that they installed which cost a pretty penny is totally inferior to my harmo
