Naive related question from a crypto n00b that a lazygoogle failed to answer: I just plotted some Chia. I left my laptop open to do this. Usually I would just put the laptop in power save mode all night. My understanding is that to actually

Not complaining, just giving y'all some interesting and updated information about my profession's economic situation and wondering why at least the patient end of the deal isn't getting any better. I'm pretty happy with

FWIW, garden-variety West Coast ER doc here. Right now, I'm an independent contractor who makes ~$200/h. In a few months when my small company gets acquired, I'll be a W-2 who for various reasons will make ~$160/h before

All markets stop eventually. There's no natural law saying they need to go up forever. Maybe you think they should keep going up, for whatever reason, and you might be right. But that's different than the fact that they increased

This is an interesting theory. It also seems somewhat testable, because if true and Metz's superiors are not tone-deaf they we'd expect they will fire him, no? I wonder if it was Metz who had the idea for the original more positiv

I do agree with parent that this is an interesting political hypotheical though. There was so much media focus on Parler for a while and ultimately AWS was exonerated as the good guy in the mainstream narrative. If Parler had self-hosted, w

Just curious... in your experience, are most "Silicon Valley darlings" also more apolitical and pragmatic than this CEO's statement seemed to indicate he is? Or do they run the gamut? Just curious as this was my overall sense

A second collective realization I'd like to see is that the SEC is still using the same faulty Value-at-Risk model they were using before the 2008 crash to estimate clearing funds. They should probably not use this model to do this any

How will these borrowed dollars be paid back short of real non-BS US economic expansion, which as I understand it is not presently occurring? If they are not actually paid back but just kicked down the road, are they still effectively borro

One thing that could cause this loss of faith to occur is if the Chinese are successful with making their new E-currency a medium of exchange for Americans. My understanding is that the modern monetary theorists have an argument as to why t

This is one reason I changed careers from research to medicine. Now social interaction is built into my job, whether I want it or not, and I'm a much happier man for it. Sometimes all the grind does have a useful endpoint.

I'm an ER doc. A couple of points: 1. If we consult a specialist, that usually means we have no idea what's going on. Sometimes, we do it for "customer service" if a patient really wants the consult and doesn't seem

Ha. The sad reality in our system is that if you choose science as a career, you publish or you perish. P-hacking allows you to publish. Most biologists know they need to publish or perish, but very few know what P-hacking is, although many

You're not wrong. But the point of the press release was not to convey understanding. It was likely a PR vehicle for the scientists and thus for the university. The ultimate goal is for all of them to make more money. Paul Graham'

It's irreversible because it's at a greater rate than DNA repair. At least, it is in mammalian non-germ cells. Also, there isn't just one kind of DNA damage or DNA repair. Different kinds of damage have different orders of
