Not a domain expert, but as I recall most of the things they want to test for aren't present at a sufficient level in the blood stream to get a statistically significant sample from a few drops. Blood sugar is a relatively high percent

Anyone can be affected by this, which is why police brutality should be an everyone issue, but statistically speaking you are correct. (There are many other, more dangerous places in the world where you shouldn't call cops for things l

no that's not how it works. If the client could simply send a hashed password over as an authenticator, then hashing the password database would provide no protection against theft, because you could simply use the stored hash as the p

This was discussed extensively here after the event happened. It's not pitch black around there and a number of people have recorded videos driving at night through that exact area and the entire road is well lit enough to see a person

Spending capital to build hash capacity to protect an existing holding in BTC is inherently deflationary. Instead of "you need to spend money to make money" aka inflation/interest/growth, you have to spend money to keep

ACH between large banks is mostly getting replaced by Zelle. Don't use it with people you don't know but otherwise it's fine.

Routing protocols are how computers communicate network admin instructions to each other really really fast. They're still just tools wielded by humans, even at a distance. Even today.

Unwritten contracts are often enforced with disparate impact, which is why you should be explicit in your expectations. Regardless, Starbucks has explicitly stated they do not have this policy, so your opinion of unwritten coffee house expe

I don't want to take the thread away from what a bad idea ILPs are and onto how much Uber sucks, so I will only say that it's not clear to me that anything has actually worked for Uber as an entity yet. Yes the early investors hav

I’ve been using git since 2007 and never ever even wanted to try nuking a checkout and starting over to recover from anything, much less did so. (Did have a nameless terrible Java ide plug-in do it for me once.)

Bias: I've refused to work on any adtech revenue business, and I've passed on opportunities at Uber multiple times due to ... moral and ethical concerns. I wouldn't hold experience at Uber or FB against any applicant.

I was up to 10mg/daily of Lexapro for two years. When my doctor and I agreed it was time to stop taking it, his advice was to go down to 5mg for a week, then stop. When I tried stopping after the 5mg dose I had constant vertigo symptom

That's because "whiteness" is an invented category. There are no historical threads that bind together just the people you think of as "white" that don't include many others that you exclude based solely on a m

SV% does have team and score effects, but it's the best single metric. It's often best to compare 1 - SV%, as that tells you roughly how many goals they're letting in. So on 1000 shots, crawford allowed 71 goals, forsberg 92,
