Very few modern insurance plans pay per procedure and that will be done away with entirely as time goes on. Typically physicians are paid a flat rate per patient or a flat rate per diagnosis with a complexity multiplier. This creates an inc

It's poorly received because it's hyperbolic. I've been around many powder cocaine users and have never seen someone's personality radically change. It's a stronger version of caffeine with more euphoria, that'

I'm fully willing to admit that there may be functional cultures in the world which frown upon showing preference to friends or family at the expense of random people. I've yet to see any of them though.

It is absolutely so. I would much rather help a friend or group of friends do well as opposed to randoms or people I don't like. First, I like my friends and want them to be happy (and am going to be the one who hears about it when the

This happened to me as well with Uber. They use SMS 2FA and didn't provide any backups. I left my phone in an Uber and I couldn't log into my account to notify the driver because 2FA was in place. I also couldn't contact Uber

+1 for Elements. I started with Introduction to Statistical Learning and then graduated to Elements as I learned more and grew more confident. Those are fantastic books.

Because typically people figure it out eventually and then they are really angry. At the end of the day, all you really have is your reputation, and you don't want to be known as an exploitative asshole.

3. VPN helps by obfuscating IP address which is one way you can be tracked. 4. What you are trying to do is clear cookies and history regularly so trackers can't vacuum that data up. You can probably set similar defaults in Safari but

Real time pricing and personalized pricing. The more marketers learn about you, the more they will be able to set custom prices for you that may not be in your benefit. Think airline tickets, that's the model people are after. What if

I agree that students should seek mental health care off campus. In terms of checks and balances, one nice feature of MIT is that power seems to be very diffuse, to the point where it's actually annoying to try to get anything done at

I've personally never heard of any other incident quite like this happening at MIT, at least not in the last 7 years or so when I was on campus; could you provide any other examples? The only other thing I can think of off the top of m

To play devil's advocate, if Bezos donates two billion, that's basically a one time fixed cost. He can decide not to donate any more money down the line if he chooses. If he raises wages, he will be paying at least that much in la

I agree that cycling in Boston is absolutely terrifying; I tried it for a few weeks and then gave up. Literally every single cyclist I know has gotten into at least one serious accident over the last 5 years in the city. While it is true th

Fair enough, my understanding was there was nearly a categorical ban on research w/ schedule 1 drugs. I am pleased to see this is not the case. Thank you for the correction.

Are you really asking me for a source to prove that being caught doing something massively illegal will result in negative consequences? I'm going to assume that when we talk about running a study, we are talking about using marijuana

Parent did not say they would be purchasing in a state where recreational dispensaries exist or where weed is legal at a state level. Those are unstated assumptions.

I agree that it is absurd that we cannot study weed legally. At the end of the day when it comes down to illegal studies, it all comes down to risk tolerance: Is an individual willing to lose their ability to practice academic science (in t

Suggesting that study participants use a drug of unknown purity, composition, and dosing would definitely not be ok or safe. Encouraging illegal activity generally is not ok. Interviewing self-professed users without instructing them to use

Marijuana is defined as a schedule one drug by the DEA, meaning they believe it has no accepted medical value and should not be studied. Being in possession of or trying to purchase this drug for a medical study would therefore be illegal.

Exactly this. The procedures are put in place to prevent abuse of the system by the individual. The problem is that they rarely have the intended effect. First, frequently the policies are put in place to prevent an abuse which performed by
