I think NASA's use of "systems engineering" is more or less in line with how everyone except the software industry uses "systems engineering". You'll sometimes (not always) see "systems engineering" i

In general, you do not submit source code for review - just all your procedures and results for testing. In normal auditing, they will not inspect your source code - they may inspect everything around your source code (what you procedures f

Theranos' original big PR splash was when they got FDA 510k clearance on their finger stick test for a herpes (one of the herpes) test. This was a splash for several reasons. One of them was that it technically wasn't needed. At t

So my company is sending me to this conference (too bad, I don't get there till tomorrow, so I'll miss this talk). My coworker and I were really surprised when we looked at the sessions last week and found that she was still prese

Its also interesting to think about how the Eastern Empire plays into this. Certainly it was the richer half.

I feel that its probable that the symptoms that we link to PTSD today (and shell shock of the past) can arise from a variety of different stimuli. Maybe as we study in closer, we may find subtle differences in the exact responses due to act

Its not just sugary yeast water. The first step of alcohol metabolism is conversion to acetaldehyde, which is then processed further into acetic acid. Acetaldehyde is very much a carcinogen (and its also directly DNA damaging). The science

Full integration does not require that you -only- be able to speak standardish english. I think the key of studying and destigmatizing AAVE is to allow the very type of integration that you want. By raising AAVE to the standard of a "r

I'm mostly familiar with plastic molds, but for durable/production ready molds, you're normally starting off at like 20k per mold. You can usually bring your part to manufacturers (both CNC and casting shops) and ask for some

The bar for recall is actually relatively low. Basically, when you find a fault (somehow, maybe in regular QC in manufacturing, or something bad actually happens in the field, or some engineer is fucking around), the question is "can t

I don't know how it works out for stuff used during surgery, but for diagnostic devices (where if a device fails by becoming inoperable, the stakes are a lot lower), you can lump basically any software that you don't have total co

Actually, if you look at how Color has specifically called out most of the risks in their material, they very carefully focus on life-time risks, instead of 'rates'. So, unless they are completely lying with their numbers, you can

Harrier design concept is limited by the massive frontal cross section that Pegasus type engines imposes on the craft - this limits aero efficiency, and especially the ability to go supersonic. Harrier design is also completely not low obse

Dedicated bus lanes (Bus Rapid Transit) has its own weaknesses, particularly in pre-built up urban areas. To make the best of your system, you need 4 lanes wide of dedicated bus space at the stops, or else you get really inefficient perform

I really hope that the reviewer was referring to the context that the terms were being used in. There are some times when exactly what events constitute a false negative or false positive may be somewhat unclear. I hope.

They found a bug in testing and are fixing it. That's literally why you test critical code, in case you didn't get it right.

Well, the fun part about acupuncture is this that all the studies that 'disprove' acupuncture are disproving very specific things. Specifically, they show that 'traditional chinese acupencture' with the whole crap about

What? The "20" was never the generation. The i7-720, i7-820, and i7-940 are all Nehalem (ie first generation) core parts. The numbering more or less makes sense if you prepend a 0 to the "720". Now your generations make

Well, because the data source for the battles is clearly western-centric, it'll just show up with correlations with Christianity.

Missile subs can work just fine without GPS position fixes - maybe not as accurate, but just as fine. Since by definition the US missile sub fleet would be used for a second strike role in this situation (by definition, since someone else

To add to that, DoD just approved sale of 8 F-16s to Pakistan ( http://thediplomat.com/2016/02/us-approves-sale-of-8-f-16-bl... ). The ball is in Congress' court to decide if this actually goes through... but y

While the density of cash is certainly useful, using cash brings all of the benefits of having your wealth denominated in a state backed currency, instead of a commodity whose prices is more heavily driven by supply and demand. Oh, also how

The article does a poor job differentiating between different types of "clutter". For example, while a single continuous block of chinese text will look more dense than latin script for the reasons outlined, it does not explain wh

Hollywood has an outsized effect on American policy making because American soft power is partly reliant on the export of American, or America-friendly culture, which is what Hollywood does.

No one is lying. Parent's 18% is the figure for male condom use in reality, vs your 2% for consistent and correct use. The point is that if you have an entire population of people who say that their primary method of contraception is m

If you could manage to give someone gene therapy, they're already screwed. Consider that the only reasonable mechanisms for gene therapy on grown animals is to infect them with a virus (or something similar). If you can infect someone
