Assume the patients are assigned to the doctors in a way that's not affected by whether they have the condition or not (e.g. at random). If the screening question doesn't lead to over-diagnosis, then you'd expect the same rat

By "we" does he mean the UK? How do you nationalise a multinational?

1. It's a success of his IRB. Of the many requirements he described, both by his IRB and the auditors, he didn't make the effort to try to understand how any of them could be good for his subjects. Instead he focused on how they a

Ok I'll bite: - If something wasn't feasible to do until the moment Apple copied it from others, why didn't Apple do it first? - Have there been innovations by companies that compete with Apple? - Have they ever taken an idea

You don't need to reliably get a good take to produce a video; you need one good take. If it's bad enough that it won't look right even after taking the best of a large number of attempts, that's as good as the feature n

> Therefore, extra temporal resolution helps. But it's not resolution, right? It's extra frequencies outside the audible range. Is there any natural process that would make those affect the audible components, if I were listeni

In live demos yes, but you would totally want to show it in a pre-recorded demo like this one.

It can be seen from the video (from the way they avoid it) that the "augmentation" is always superimposed on the "reality". I.e. someone can't walk in front of the virtual objects you put on the table. Is that a lim

So when Apple merely copies instead of "stealing", it was an obvious idea that had been around for a long time. It's the logical evolution to what they already had. It just wasn't feasible to do until the moment Apple co

That is how Prof. Missy Cummings presented it in MIT's Human Factors class ~6 years ago. I've never seen a fighter cockpit, but she was a pilot herself, so I'll take her word for it :)

Causation could perfectly be the other way around: Some people write a book about Shannon, and thus get asked by publishers to write articles about him for them. Plus you wouldn't expect the authors of articles about someone to be peop

There's also automated take off. Fighter pilots taking off carriers have to grab a couple of handlebars in the cockpit, whose purpose is only that the pilot doesn't instinctively intervene during take off.

It does matter if half the cars read a speed limit differently than the other half.

But you, as a human, don't need to know what happened before, to be able and drive through those conditions. You just need the immediately-available information, which is what OP defined as "no need for context" vs speech rec

Maybe the most minimal, but not the most efficient, and C's minimalism is only useful because it lets you be as efficient as the hardware will be. Without that goal, the Lisps are more minimal than both C and Objective-C.
