I don't know. I also don't find this a compelling argument in favor of maintaining absurd valuations

Oh no, not plummeting property values in Silicon Valley!?!?! If that happens it will only be impossible for me to buy a home here instead of super-impossible

The hardest thing in medical diagnosis/treatment for a computer to do is not running algorithms to determine diagnosis/treatment; it's taking the patient history. If you ask a patient if he has had any abdominal pain, a lot o

I'm pretty sure they just resell the blades from a Korean company. I did the dollar shave once then went directly to the company that makes them for a better price. Now I use Harry's which I think are a little better

Good to hear because I started to experiment with it a couple months ago to solve a specific problem. I abandoned it because the embedded version required an older version of Lucene than I was using. Yes I could have worked around that but

I disagree. The older I get the more I treasure the rare individuals I can trust. Going into business with someone like you would mean I have an extra job, watching you. Life is too short. I recommend against doing business with such indivi

I can comment based on my observation (lately shared by many) that most of the medical literature is bunk and my experience participating in more than 100 autopsies which tells me that 30% is absurdly high, 15% is too high and the range rep

Completed it. Never practiced as an attending. Went into the computers instead

Maybe, I haven't read the study, but there is a huge selective pressure here. That is, these days you tend to order autopsies only when there was something mysterious about the death.

by gmarx 11y ago
former pathology resident here- disagree. The main reason we do fewer autopsies is because of better diagnostics while the patient is alive. The numbers they provide for significant changes in diagnosis based on autopsy seem pretty high (ba

If you're talking about dress shoes you don't expect the soles to last especially longer than those on cheap dress shoes. With the higher quality ones you can, and it is worth it to, resole and remanufacture them multiple times. M

I don't think anyone is going to touch that; I will point out though, one wouldn't expect the SAT to predict college performance because it is used to sort people into less and more competitive schools and within those schools peo

I disagree with the generally accepted one- build something you want. This is a fine thing to do but the overwhelming majority of good software business ideas aren't for consumers or developers. The overwhelming majority of workers who

Everyone thinks this until they start pitching ideas. No one wants to steal your idea; in fact, the most common reaction is to explain why your idea is stupid.

I used to wonder, years ago when I lived in SF, why does a supposedly green city have such lousy public transportation? If this is successful, expect MUNI to use legal means to get rid of it.

Sure, it may be dangerous. Here's the thing- I've been around for a while and read a lot of stuff in the mainstream media about which combinations of foods will kill you and which will make you immortal. As these have changed over

I can't tell from the article, is this an Epic installation? I don't know the detailed breakdowns but as I understand it, the bulk of the costs have to do with consultants, reengineering process and training than software licenses

Except a huge reason they refuse to conform to standards is because you are asking them to do a lot of extra work for no extra pay. The EMR systems, by and large, are not good. The user interfaces do not make it easy to conform to standards
