12 changes a day is not a huge outlier, but it is on the high end. Standard pediatrics holds that a newborn - infant that is not dehydrated should be producing 2-8 diapers of urine per day. A newborn should be producing a couple of BMs a da

I largely agree with you. But, about 1% of me, can't help but note that... well, I think there's a reason for people's tendency to give the perpetrator some sympathy. The thing is, we abstract this away into things like &quot

Sounds like you're doing a little monday morning quarterbacking here. Neither of us heard the dad's tone or saw his body language, so neither of us knows just how strongly he was communicating "she's going to Youtube bec

I see your point, but I think it's fundamentally flawed: I think the very reason we can look at this and go, "it's just rental cars with an app" is because it's not all that innovative. Beyond that, these regulation

There have been many comments here in the past about how sticking a digital intermediary into a traditional business model doesn’t somehow magically absolve you of regulations on that business model. This article doesn’t actually present an

Recently had an issue with Verizon where they flat out refused to give us the new customer discount, regardless of how hard we pushed. Ended up leaving Verizon. Someone will give us the discount, I don’t care if it’s their competitor.

That’s still N95 with respect to particulate filtration. P95, to split hairs, but equivalent with respect to the topic at hand.

Their statements aren’t unique to tech. 3+ years of experience were not restricted to three years -with a technology-. I saw the same shit back when I was doing healthcare QI, and there is no tech to speak of there. In fact, they stated not

I don’t really like giving out healthcare advice on the Internet. But also... I feel bad for folks being harmed. I’m an amateur woodworker and a non-amateur medical professional, so I’ve looked into this topic for my own self. Putting on th

In the US, at least, there’s also an issue of wider tolerances in headlight design. When lumens were expensive you’d need tightly focused light cones to reach regulation-mandated light intensities at given distances. The new LEDs are cheape

Do you have a source on the exemption of the data:permission limit being lifted for them? Given the soft run at quote mining in your earlier post, I’d feel more comfortable if your core assertion was verifiable.

Not difficult at all, and you can make them keep reasonable attention. Look at the new Cadillac driver assist: sensors in the wheel for hand placement -and- eye tracking. If the driver isn’t watching the road/holding the wheel, they ge

There is not, insofar as lead tends to be either inspired or ingested in contaminated water. For most people, it's the former. The "oral chelators" just bind lead that is mixed in with them, stopping you from absorbing as muc

Bad execution can and should be improved upon. Bad science (eg, matching bullets to guns) needs to be thrown onto the trash heap of history. The former can be debunked on a case by case basis. The latter needs to be categorically banned fro

I find Yelp a very reliable source of tourist traps. If you’re not in an area where that’s a risk, it’s not a good way to find -good- food, but it’s a good way to find the best local mainstream food. If the local mainstream best is mediocre
