Most people do not understand medicine well enough to make an informed choice based off of risk. And as noble as it is to sacrifice yourself for the "greater good", I think it's absurd to place that expectation on the average

I agree with one caveat, the "leadership" you mention is actually "management". Actual leadership requires you to do a hell of a lot more than just what you're told/serving your own bottom line.

I looked around just for fun and found 3 places in ~2 minutes. I don't live there, so I'm not sure if these are terrible locations. Also, two are on the outskirts and it's possible they don't qualify as being in the city

Exactly my thoughts. Assortative mating has been happening all along, equality between the sexes is the only thing that has changed here. Back then even if you didn't get married young, most men did not have options to marry a female d

It's a result of supply and demand. In other industries there is too much supply, people pile on the degrees (and go deeper into debt) to be more competitive. Employers then raise the bar for hiring and people still end up with crappy

This carrot peeler has a variable value to customer, dependent on how much the customer will use it. We won't put the price out there until we know how valuable it is to our customer. LOL.

Meh, I don't think it's extreme to get up early every morning and exercise, though I do agree with the gist of the article. My 63yo father wakes up at 5am every morning to get to the gym and into the office by 630 and he is by no

I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing. There is a whole new crop of start-ups in the healthcare space with founders coming from Google and Facebook (ie Flatiron Health). I think this is great for bringing innovation to an ind

If you look at CEO's and other higher ups of healthcare companies, a significant number have absolutely no science training.

I think about it differently. They are alienating and fragmenting people that would otherwise be on their side by turning every issue into "this is how it affects me and since it affects me and my gender we have to fix it." If we

Examples: Not enough DNA in the sample (this normally comes from the White Blood Cells), the primers used in a PCR test (amplifying the DNA) do not bind properly, other markers for various tests don't bind correctly, etc. Not-binding c

I was just having a conversation with my roommate about why I have trouble identifying/believing a lot of feminist propaganda. And your statement is exactly why. Even when it is not a gender issue, femnism seems to only focus on improv

I took the comment differnetly. If we as a society are going to spend 30k+ a year on an individual, wouldn't it be better for that to be spent on educating a citizen than imprisoning them (especially for things like marijuana)? One is

Isn't PH just another example of the typical business cycle? Found a startup, get big, get bought out/go public, turn into crap, then another startup is founded to attempt to dethrone you, repeat ad infinitum.

This is a minor inconvenience and also has the benefit of giving time to patrons to relax and chat while they finish up a meal. As important as efficiency is, running your personal life on 100% efficiency is going to end up with people bein

I worked for a medical diagnostics company for 4 years and this is an incorrect view. Though I'm not fluent in the regulatory side I do know that most of our tests were not FDA approved. Most tests/assays were developed in-house,

Upping the revenue from 10B dollars to 11B relies on the infrastructure, capital, corporate relationships, etc, etc that were previously built by a company. The new CEO didn't just create 1B of additional wealth out of thin air, he was

I am of a similar sentiment. Why try to plug holes (charity) when we should building a better ship (social programs, tax incentives, etc)? Trying to work on a small scale is noble, but not at all efficient.

New messaging apps will not change the world. Finding new ways to sell wares to people is not solving big problems. Why do so many entrepreneurs act like they are working on the cure to cancer?

"Hustlers", I loathe that word, but it's pervasive in the tech industry. I knew hustlers growing up, they sold cocaine cut with baking soda and screwed people over when they could. I don't understand how so many entrepre

All of these will give you some answers. The reality is there is SO MUCH MORE INFORMATION to be gleaned from our genomes that these solutions do not account for.

The whispers of Theranos being a shitty company, at least in the healthcare/biotech community, have been around for almost a year. To get the type of talent they need, they will have to pay a pretty big premium, but it does seem they&#
