"What good is a medical query engine if the patient doesn't know how to describe what is wrong?" This implementation of Watson is more than a query engine; it returns a confidence interval with its diagnoses and "knows&q

Wow, sad to hear this. They had an outstanding service. Until I read the message on their homepage, I never realized they had a premium service!

Think this would fall under "fruit of the poisonous tree". If the source of the evidence is tainted, anything that came from that source is also tainted. This doctrine is well enough established that undermining it would have far

"From what I have read, the general experience of dating sites is that men get very few replies, and women are inundated, so the task for a man is to do anything to stand out, and the task for women is to filter." How is this different from

The email featured in the article bothers me. First line: "If either were to come to us with a competing offer, we'd work with all our might to keep them". Then, almost in the same breath "They're fairly compensated, IMO." Cognitive dissona

People increasingly do ask these sorts of questions of lawyers and especially doctors. It's an inevitable march based on access to information. Informed customers are a good thing; it forces professionals to stay on top of their game to sur

Hear, hear. I left management consulting precisely because quality and impact are almost ignored in favor of hours billed. What will prevent people from logging lots of "junk miles" to up their stake? Seems like this approach may result in

I love the idea behind this. The issue is that the questions are not MECE (mutually exclusive, collectively exhaustive - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MECE_principle). Perhaps counterintuitive, but fewer questions would actually lead to a richer da

Hard to know where to start with this article, so let's take it from the top. - Asserting that AP classes are not equivalent to classes where he went to school is unhelpful. Mr. Tierney fails to mention that he went to Yale, making this ane

The book mentioned in the article, "Definitive Book of Body Language" is an excellent resource. However, it is more of an encyclopedia - comprehensive, but lacking in context. I began this journey some years ago and found Navarro's "What Ev

I wonder if some of these startups knowingly run afoul of the law, thinking that if they build sufficient ridership it will give them the sway to have the laws changed.

Don't dissolve the SEC because it gives people false hope - dissolve it because it is the poster child for regulatory capture. The top regulators do not hand down big fines because the SEC is a revolving door and the regulators don't want t

This article seems a bit odd because it almost seems to dismiss money out of hand. There must be some threshold level required to get people thinking about the 3 "real reasons" the author specifies.
