And 80% or more of what a primary care doctor does can comfortably be done by any decent nurse practitioner. We should be encouraging the training of many more nurse practitioners to take this load.

That might be part of the overall testing you did in which more than just IQ was being testing. In a normal barrage you might get tests for working memory, attention, etc. which are not IQ. This sounds like it’s testing working memory.

Are you sure that question was related to IQ specifically? I suspect it wasn’t. Neuropsychological assessments usually administered to diagnose ADHD include a lot of things that aren’t related to IQ and many things that are just there to

I’ve not seen any numerical calculation in an IQ test I’ve done that isn’t in some form just a puzzle and that doesn’t get more advanced than basic arithmetic. Being able to reason about numbers, addition, subtraction, multiplication etc. i

You appear to me making a mistake thinking your particular experience with your medical imaging device is normal. A lot of very dodgy medical devices such as cobalt hips and fallopian tube implants and surgical meshes have been approved wit

Moving away from your home where all your friends and family and network are is actually an incredibly difficult thing to do. These things are very valuable to a lot of people.

The US needs to go in and clean up this mess and should feel very obligated to move quickly on this, but is hasn’t. See also this article from 2015 [1] and folks may enjoy this video for the visuals of it [2]. [1] https://www.the

It sounds like your proposal would be to properly allay fears that unfounded accusations can be damaging and reassure men that women aren’t as sensitive as they may fear. Which accepts the premise of what I’ve said and concurs that this art

Ugh. This is predictable in the age of guilty til proven innocent isn't it? When an accusation is enough to tank a career then yes people are going to feel the need to protect themselves by removing any possibility of that happening. A

I’m kind of surprised by the response here. For one thing this helps European telecoms suppliers. On top of this there is this weird expectation that the way things have been is good and should continue. I don’t see this justified. Huawei e

Hang on. It’s not just racist hiring policies. We have companies here that are doing business in a country that is putting millions of people of a certain ethnicity in concentration camps. That really is not being talked about enough.

Nuclear can absolutely load follow. It's just not used that way today in the USA because the nuclear generation capacity is below the base load, the cost is completely sunk, so you as the plant owner might as well run it at 100% and se

Just a nit, as petre said the 80km number you use as a radius seems high. Chernobyl was 30km, Fukushima looks to be between 30-40km on it's longest stretch. But even the more realistic 30km number is still more than enough to potential

Yep, which to elaborate on your point means we could expect that number to be lower if it covered all solar.

This isn’t a nuclear industry source and they don’t include hydro either (which is also still higher than nuclear on other comparisons).

Wikipedia has a table that still puts both above nuclear with rooftop solar at 440 per PWh and wind at 150 per PWh. (Doesn’t include other solar and I haven’t dug deep to verify those numbers.) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wik
