Better that than “random personal anecdote only loosely related to the title.” Those are too common.

If the cost of hosting a "non-purchasing" player was less than the expected revenue of hosting N non-purchasing players, they wouldn't make a freemium game. There's no version of "I am gonna stick it to blizzard&quo

I know very little about automotive engineering, but I would suspect that cars are built to withstand impacts on the X-Y axis, not the Z-axis.

I'm not really sure what your point was intended to be in your first paragraph. "I'm worried about ubiquitous drone-enabled surveillance." "Well, it's legal." I don't really see how that addresses any

I found interesting that he closes his post with an excerpt about how safe mushroom picking is, and how adverse outcomes only happen to ignorant fools who know nothing about mushrooms and don’t bother learning. In an article that opens with

Just because the article says that the healthcare community is ignorant of it, doesn’t mean that it’s ignorant of it. We had to memorize major CYP4503A4 inducers and inhibitors for step exams back when I was in med school, and memorized met

What I want is a name for the related effect: You read an article on your topic of expertise, it’s bullshit, you read another article, a relevant expert on it pipes up that “that’s bullshit!”, and the prevailing response is, “no, you’re wro

This article can’t seem to decide whether it’s discussing ivermectin - an old antiparasitic derived from the avermectin produced by streptomyces - or bacteria. It vacillates between “ivermectin effective” and “bacteria killed parasite,” whi

The mean, inclusive of subspecialty surgeons, is somewhere around 375k. The minimum is not 400. But if it will make you feel any better, the same argument holds for pediatrics residents, who will go on to make an average of about 135 after

What’s the political slant? I’m working my way down the memorandum front page articles and getting a very distinctly right wing vibe. Is that the norm, or just a momentary trend?

I don’t understand the downvotes. No one wants just-in-time, no-redundancies production of critical-to-life resources. You would be willing to subsidize a healthcare market to ensure hospitals didn’t have the exact supply of antibiotics on
