It is nothing new, it was suspected for a while by many studies. Personally I do not practice stretching. It initially started as an experiment - as in "if I don't stretch I should get hurt ?", "ok I want to test this and see precisely how

After reading that, I can only imagine what this demand curve means for the actually available talent one may buy. You know the saying - "the market is so hot even chickens can fly" If you have to hire, that'll be a very expansive chicken -

This is the very same critic that was (and still is) made about perl. >> I won’t bother to explain all of these; the point is that, as you can see, they all return the same result (namely, the first column of the ice.cream data fra

I would love to see some apps better integrated - basic stuff like calendar and todo (BTW check out http://drive.google.com/keep - it's a rival to Evernote) That was solved and properly done tens of years ago on the palm. Why can't I have

You talk about oil and injustice, but there is no reasonable cost effective substitute to oil at the moment, while there are better alternatives to natural diamonds - man made diamonds - which could easily become cheaper too. > "If you

Law of large numbers, central limit theorem etc. If enough people give stars, with their systematic biases - we'll have useful results. The market could work in healthcare. It should be our goal to make that a reality, because the alterna

Yeah, like there is no problem whatsoever in places as different as the Netherlands, and Australia. But you're right it seems to be working fine in the US for muslims. Something certainly related to the american culture and how open it is.

If Isreal will take you if you are Jewish, that seems selective. It doesn't seem to be than >50% of the Iranian population is Jewish. Maybe it means they will welcome people less "likely to develop hatred towards the host country" bec

Apparently we share the same analysis. No hate, just plain facts. Europe seems up for a very nasty situation indeed. The nobel peace price for the EU was to remind Europe that in the past they had been at war every 40 years or so, but since

You seems biased. I'm PRAYING that there will not be a war, and that immigrants will find a way to feel happy in the society, and that the french society will welcome them. This will require a lot of changes on both sides- but for now, on

This is the single most insightful comment in this thread. That's close to what the Economist said on that issue - the socialists have the political power to make such reports. These are centrist reforms - partly libertarian, partly social,

The wisdom of sending a full regiment to catch a single man, who previously was a military dictator after a successful coup-d'état, is not exactly evident to me. There might have been good reasons, besides providing him with some fresh troo

Wrong. You learn even better when you figure things out by yourself. It's called "outside of the box" thinking for a reason. If you join the box, it ain't outside the box.

Usually, it's more an opportunity cost ie what could have been charged if the same things had been done in the neuro ward. In the ER in France, it's more or less a flat rate that gets charged - which incentivizes cost reduction. There is an
