In 2014, the Institute of Medicine released a thorough analysis on graduate medical education that argued there was no doctor shortage, and that we didn’t really need to invest more in new physicians. The system isn’t undermanned, it said:

Is it then possible for an Aaron Schwartz/ Sci Hub character to then download all of the available books and make them available on the internet?

You cannot determine someone's age by the fact that they have/use a credit card. Teenagers can have credit cards.

From the article: Before opting for coal, the school looked into using liquid natural gas, wind and solar, bio-mass and a host of other options. None of them penciled out, said Mike Ruckhaus, a senior project manager at the university.

I have a similar experience. I prefer the Cash App because it's visually more pleasant to use and I don't have to publish to the whole world that I paid my roommate $5.76 for lunch. That said, everyone in my circle of friends uses

From the article: President Trump promised the typical American household a $4,000 pay raise as he pushed for his tax giveaway to the rich. The reality, however, is that from December 2017 to December 2018, real wages for average workers ha

I don't imagine this will go over very well with most people. However, headlines like this are a good reminder to practice good social media hygiene; I've been careful about what I post and have a habit of deleting old Facebook po

Very cool. Are there any sites already using this platform?

This is pretty cool. The one factoid that stood out to me was everyone flocking to listen to SAD! by XXXTENTACION the day after he was assassinated. I'm surprised this wasn't the case with Mac Miller's death, although maybe i

Long overdue. Maybe in a few months I can watch a Joe Rogan podcast video without tainting my YouTube recommendations for the next year with Ben Shapiro-style clickbait.

Growing up in California, I assumed the bottle deposit system was a federal thing. Moving to North Carolina and seeing people causally throw away glass bottles into the trash was definitely a cultural shock for me. Kudos to Oregon for doing

Agreed, I think the way its prepared definitely matters. For me, I think the Impossible Burger seems "better" because I've only had it prepared by restaurants whereas the Beyond Burger I've mostly made myself from the gr

I know you're trying to be snarky but minimaxir has done a lot of great work with data science and visualization, particularly with his Reddit analysis.

You should give the Impossible Burger a try as well, it's even more meat-like and has a great taste. Both burgers recently announced 2.0 versions of their products so there's a lot of excitement in the field of plant-based meat.

Wonderful work, Rohan! I love it when tech and charity come together like this. My questions: 1) Is there any assistance that your service can provide to students who have student loan debt, particularly those from predatory private institu

This is my current routine: I have about $5,000 coming into my checking account every month, which I then use to pay rent and several credit cards with % cash back bonuses. Whatever is remaining for that month, I transfer to Ally's 2.2

I'm perfectly happy with my Ally 2.2% savings account+ numerous cash back credit cards but this would be a neat card for someone switching over from Wells Fargo/BoA with their atrocious .1% savings accts.

Are there any good resources for filing your own taxes? I’ve always relied on family members and want to take a crack at it.

Likewise, some science and history-based subs are doing well. I think large subs need heavy moderation to work.

Theres a new Reddit alternative that's open source, Tildes. https://blog.tildes.net/announcing-tildes I've been on it for a few months and would recommend it.

This is great news for corporate sponsors and bad news for the average consumer. It used to be easy to block ads when they were simple banner ads. Nowadays, these ads are injected directly into the newsfeeds of these newspapers.

Were you able to get the results from Dante yet? I am curious to see how they differ from 23andMe in report quality.

Given Costco's size and influence in the food market, I'd like to see them lend more credence to the plant-based meat market which would be even better for them financial and environmentally.

Are there any similar protections in the US?

It's essentially a simplified Uber/Lyft app where I put in my home/work address and a window of time when I make my commute. Afterwards, I see a list of people who are on my route. Then, I can offer someone a ride or request
