Europe is working hard to build themselves a little ghettoized corner of the internet.

Finally found it. In the Main Square you go down that side street where the guy is standing next to his scooter. Then you turn left through the gate and there is a little rocky outcropping there where the temple is.

At the state level, by far the most common reason for long sentences are violent offenses. At the federal level it is more often trafficking at distribution scale. There are always stories, but the majority are the above. If you have a stat

It's rather difficult to do enough bad things to get a lengthy prison sentence these days. Usually requires a violent offense in the context of significant priors. If you're interested in doing hard federal time, I would suggest y

The number of prisoners who are capable of this type of work are minuscule and unlikely to affect wages at large.

I get the desire to limit data collection, but banning tech that deters and punishes crime is bad policy.

That's how I did undergrad. Wasn't even much of a note taker, usually just paid attention during lectures and did the reading. That's not enough for the insane volume of information you have to learn in med school. There are

If I hadn't stubbled upon this essay and Anki, I think by way of a Wired article, I'm not sure I would have gotten into or passed medical school. They were eye opening and turned me from an average smart student into a leader of m

I mean...if the system accommodated that appearance it would have been one of the best designed systems in the world. There are a lot of edge cases here.

It's a fun read but, just like his other books, very one-dimensional characters with no depth. Not really remarkable literature, more of a bunch of Wikipedia articles strung together.

It really shows the artistry in the movie that those mostly unremarkable locations were made to look like they did in the film.

I don’t disagree but the guy below you wants to grow human shells and try head transplants.

Move fast and break things in human medicine means unethical researchers maim and kill people, often marginalized people. Nazis, Japanese experimenting on prisoners, Tuskegee airmen syphilis experiments, Cincinnati radiation experiments and

Even simple studies are expensive and difficult. You need IRB approval, data collection and organization, staff to do those things. It seems simple from the outside but making it happen takes time, effort, and money which then means also ap

There was a recent panic/hysteria there about banning Twitter from many subreddits because of hate speech. It was incredible how quickly people were begging to have a website banned when they could either choose not to visit it or down

A cardiac electrophysiologist advances a catheter into the right ventricle and then deploys this directly onto the heart muscle. This is only a little bit smaller than existing leadless pacemakers which are in wide use.

Well I'm thoroughly impressed by this. It's essentially indistinguishable from a literary short story to me and far better than I could ever do

You'd be horrified to learn how many doctors spend hours at the end of their day finishing notes on patients. It's a nightmare.

I recognize and appreciate that this is free right now. But surely it won't always be. And I can't keep paying $10-20/mo for every individual AI tool.

I think the common thread in airline pricing for the past decade has been that consumers want to pay the absolute least they can for every flight, disregarding almost everything else about the flight/plane.

I'll just say from a demo perspective: Bold move using presumably real email addresses and credit cards on a live stream like this. I feel bad for that restaurant since I'm sure some jokers were trying to reserve all the table as

Ambulances cost money everywhere, it's just a matter of who is paying. Do we think paramedics in Germany are more susceptible to PTSD when patients die than ICU or ER staff, or paramedics anywhere?

I've never heard of a policy like that for physicians and doubt it's common for paramedics. I work in an ICU and a typical day involves a death or resuscitation. We would run out of staff with that policy.

I think we’re basically on the same page. As you note, a conserved promoter without strong sequence conservation elsewhere suggests functions that might be more structural or regulatory. Still, it’s also true that some (actually many) non-c
