Interesting, but it concerns me that the first two citations are not in a very reputable journal: Journal of Nutritional & Environmental Medicine In particular it's on this list: http://www.quackwatch.org/04Consumer

I'd guess most people willing to do embedded dev remote would have their own workbench. It doesn't really cost that much and I wouldn't see it as a limiting factor. But it's kind of moot because the work isn't reall

yep, people have created amazing works of art in paint too. Simply because it was all that was available to them. One of my favorites is this illustrated comic novel: https://qz.com/983188/this-stunning-graphic-novel-wa

Being sat down with a group of new people and told to work, observed, or a novel algorithmic problem against a time limit does not feel like a good way to evaluate people for a job which likely has none of these challenges. Don't get m

In my experience all investors say team is really important. However, they rarely prove the team, ask much about their experience or background. I think it's probably code for "has done a startup before" and "I kind of l

Does it show that the NHS provides better value for money than other providers excluding the US? (It doesn't look like it does to me). The US is a massive outlier globally. They have expensive, poor healthcare in comparison to the rest

It doesn't always work in my experience. The guy who signs off on vacations might be different than the guy managing day-to-day work. There might not be a clear vacation policy (as much as you like etc). Ask HR? I've worked at com

The first table, which shows where deals are sourced from, was most interesting. I was surprised that VCs reported that 22% of leads were proactively sourced. Beyond that, I don't think the trust VCs to self report. In particular all V

There could be reasons... one thing you might not have experienced is not having explicit management, and not even knowing who you /should/ inform. That happens from time to time. This is possibly indicated by "bosses".

Do you have data that shows that the NHS is better value for money than most/all other providers? Because the data I've seen [1] doesn't suggest that. [1] http://wjmc.blogspot.jp/2011/03/us-healthcar

I mean, I guess I could also provide counter anicdotes (such as it taking 1 week to get adequate medication for a chronic condition in Japan, which in 15 years I'd been unable to obtain in the U.K.). But I'm not sure it would be h

The original report is better. This report is really about saying "the US system could be a lot better" rather than an overall ranking of healthcare. The way it's being used here, to say the NHS is wonderful, doesn't wor

well, this is all pretty subjective. But the attitude I often seem to encounter in the U.K. is "it's not great, but everything is bad everywhere and it's the best".

This analysis of a report seems pretty bad, even with only the title and abstract available. Firstly, the report doesn't even cover the entire developed world, just 11 countries. Notably, Japan doesn't appear to be included. To be

The thing about self driving cars is the point at which they become generally viable is defined by human social issues. We could have self-driving cars today. Heck, we could have had them in the 90s. In limited scenarios, and with some smal

There's obviously overlap, because people here have shown a dislike to the 60 minutes show. Overall that probably helps the brand with some groups, and harms it with others (scientists, engineers) so you may have more work to convince

Then it's understandable that people would be suspicious of a puff piece on 60minutes which provides no substantive information.

There's lot of behavior that would be "unthinkable" outside its home country. I find it more interesting to try and understand the behavior than only criticize it.

I think it would be useful to link to some scientific evaluation of Watson Health. I'd want to see: 0. A baseline measurement. 1. Comparison to the nearest compatible. 2. Comparison against a simple algorithm/expert system.
