Speaking as someone whose exposure to intelligence testing comes second-hand via a psychology graduate student, my understanding is that the quality of an IQ test is just based on how well it correlates with other IQ tests. The distribution

The solution seems to gloss over the fact that these businesses (with their relaxed licensing requirements and greater freedom to operate) would have to build a real-time government data sharing system before they could operate. Sounds almo

I'm surprised how much the personal standards I've built up working solo for many years align with these. Regarding "Presentation-Specific vs Layout-Specific Styles," the way I've come to organize things is roughly

Fair enough. My cat is only four years old. But my point is that we treat tooth decay like an inevitable consequence of failing to brush and floss when we actually know it's caused by the blooming of certain specific bacteria. Brushing

Context: Streptococcus mutans is one of the primary bacteria responsible for tooth decay / cavities. This company developed a peptide that kills S. mutans and nothing else. It's basically a cavity drug. Edit: On closer reading, I

Wow, this is really interesting. Googling "C16G2" brought up some newer info. There's not much mainstream coverage, mostly just press releases and studies. But the company that's running with this is apparently called C3

My hope was that flagging bad calls would allow the FCC to aggregate call records and focus on the worst offenders (sources or intermediaries), but I guess if they can't (edit: won't ) hold intermediaries or service providers lia
