I went through sexual harassment training, and it was helpful because in two later situations where I had to manage situations related to sexual harassment, I knew what to do.

Scratch is fantastic, and has an amazingly supportive community. My (middle-school) daughter has spent tons of time making Scratch programs with groups of people she's met on Scratch, and it's been a really positive experience. Sh

It’s unfortunately quite challenging to diagnose cognitive impairment based on neuropsychological assessment at a single point in time post-injury. That’s because we don’t know what the person’s level of cognitive function was before the in

The diagnostic criteria for mild dementia are significant cognitive impairment that interferes with activities of everyday living. There are plenty of people still living at home with a caregiver/spouse, and people living at home on th

Caregiver informed consent (and participant assent) for research is common when working with populations with significant cognitive impairment. Human research review committees essentially always require that to protect participants. You&#x

Sadly, there aren't any randomized controlled trials showing that exercise can delay the onset of dementia. There are observational studies that associated exercises with delayed onset of dementia, but they cannot show the direction of

This can become problematic when an OS update breaks the perpetual fallback license software. As a developer, you can tell the customer that they have to upgrade the software (for a fee) because they upgraded their OS, but customers aren&#x

That's probably right.

Always a puzzle - if they were profitable (as they say), why did they need capital on these terms?

Yes, for sure. I'm just curious why Uber/Lyft haven't been sued already for their New Jersey operations.

This test has been the standard in other states for a while - New Jersey for example. But I don't think it has been an issue for Uber/Lyft classifying drivers in NJ as contractors. I wonder why not?

CSU professors (and professors in general) may technically be at-will (I don't know) but they are definitely members of a union that has negotiated various employment rights, including around how dismissal works. Furthermore, I think t

Actually, normal people do deserve protection from financial scams; and they don't deserve what they get just because they are not as sophisticated as a HN reader.

I think the economics of driving marginally for Uber/Lyft (when you already own a car and pay insurance) are much better than driving exclusively for Uber/Lyft (when you have the bear the full cost of the auto purchase and insuran

Right brain controls left hand (the brain brain is weird that way) so the dexterity required for fingering in the left hand is governed by plasticity and over-representation in the right brain.

It seems likely (to me, as a neuroscientist who studies learning and brain plasticity) that the ability to play classical or jazz or xyz (at very high levels) is dependent on the physical nature of the brain. But you get the brain you build

Could you walk through that threat model? I don't quite get it. In what scenario is an antagonist in control of my (untrusted) browser but not also in control of my (trusted) laptop? Put another way, doesn't that antagonist always

NIST recently updated their standard guidance to no specific characteristics requirements, just long and unique. But no doubt it will take a while to trickle down to many websites that they don’t need this craziness any more.

If your part-way through The Buried Giant, it has a solid ending (IMHO) - like Never Let Me Go, the characters realize that they have made some foundational assumptions that aren't quite right, but unlike that novel they do have the op
