This belief is completely incorrect. Helmets increase survivability and decrease the degree of injuries in every respect. This is a very well-studied phenomenon with many public and peer reviewed sources. [1] To respond to the 'nuance&

What a hot take! If you're in an organization where leadership 'points the finger' at McKinsey to cast blame for an unpopular decision, imagine what sorts of decisions they would have made without the consultants! Consultants

You're conflating gene therapies vs. the human genome with gene therapies vs. viral genomes. In some cases, the illnesses are genetic, but this article is specifically about how gene therapy companies keep going out of business trying

To summarize, the problem with gene therapy is simply that it's extremely expensive and the list of qualified clients is extremely small. That's because these therapies have been necessarily targeted towards ultra-rare and assured

I think the parent is pointing out that empirically, increases in plastic waste are observed in places where plastic bags are banned. You are correct there’s no problem with them if they’re used enough, but evidence suggests they do not r

So, what’s it gonna take for Waymo to start selling retrofit kits for existing cars? If a $10,000 investment reduces the chances of a serious accident by 90%, the corresponding reduction in insurance rates might have a payoff within a few y

In this case, chain of custody needs to extend to the capture device itself, and to any software that exists in the supply chain for the video content. There are some experimental specifications that exist to provide attestation as to the a

The flag you want to see from a senior is reasoned examples of how they use it effectively. Ask for stories about successes and failures. By now, everyone has some.

So it’s websockets, only instead of the Web server needing to handle the protocol upgrade, you just piggyback on HTTP with an in-band protocol. I’m not sure this makes sense in 2024. Pretty much every web server supports websockets at this

Congrats on the launch, I bought one. This is a really cool example of ambient technology. Typically when people talk about ambient technology they're talking about something like an e-ink display that is pushing information to you, bu

You’ll be warned when you accept the terms and conditions. And after the first lawsuits, there will be some fine print on the bottom of the page for you to ignore.

This reads as though the cable companies aren’t aware of the limitations of their tech and that couldn’t be farther from the truth. The last mile isn’t the same as today. Docsis technology continues to improve, more RF channels are being al

It’s disingenuous to claim that the success rate is .3%. The success rate for the first stage (pre-vc) of venture might be one percent, and the success rate for the next stage (post) is 10 to 25%, depending on how a founder perceives succes

I’ve noticed this as well with coding questions. I will give it problematic code and ask a question about behavior, but it will attempt to reply with a solution to a problem. And even if I prompt it to avoid providing solutions, it ignores

I had to do this fairly recently to make krita-diffusion available for my friends and family who don't have a 3090ti laying around. Probably the simplest way would be to run a local http service on your friend's M1 that is ssh tun

This is pretty cool. They built the taxi to do battery operated flights, with the longest flight so far was 150 miles at a top speed of around 200 mph. For reference, 500 miles is the distance between San Diego and San Francisco. That’s a 9

This is trivial and solutions exist in the wild already. If you buy tix for the Paris Olympics, you can transfer them to your friends or you can assign their names to the tickets directly. The interesting mechanism there is that you can buy

It might be helpful to compare the production values and reach of today's software with the software of the past. Yes, software is complex. Yes, it's on purpose. And yes, it's largely necessary. For an indie project a coder

I’ve always disabled swap on my servers. There’s a severe performance penalty when swap is used for a real workload, and that’s far more difficult to diagnose than OOM messages from the kernel. And in every case, swap or not, the resolution

Toyota’s unintended acceleration was a yearslong scandal during which many accidents involving Toyotas became national news. Manufacturers don’t get a bye from safety just because they haven’t sold many units yet.
