So, I don't really buy the whole "resetting the nervous system" analogy. But I can see why this would work. What the exercise is doing is enforcing good posture while simulating a variety of tasks in your forward workspace. T

Man, obviously they didn't do that. The reporter talked to the remote manager of the site, and also openly told the manager that he was a reporter (or at least openly told the on-site employee who told the manager). Honestly, I fully e

I think you're being a bit too harsh.. or at least your getting distracted by all the wrong stuff. None of this interaction really screams shady to me, just defensive actions by a company facing shitty PR. Some crap went down, and they

Probably worth noting that while all of these are potential upsides to going to the moon, really none of them are reasons why we should have been going back over the last 40 years. Space telescopes costs shitloads already, and thats without

You'll notice that in his 'best version' of the education chart, the y axis also does not start at zero. More precisely, the point he made was that _column_ charts should always start at 0. He makes no blanket statements abou

That's the point. If you publish anonymously then you can publish methodologies and analysis that is up to "gold standard" while completely falsifying/manipulating data. The current system mostly relies on reputation and

I think this is a really weak distinction. One of the key transformations in the thought of wars that occurred through the 19th and 20th century (at least in western thought) is that nearly all wars have an element of 'total war'.

Bumping you back up because I don't think you're trying to be inflammatory... You're asking why the American government doesn't implement more progressive/liberal labour laws and/or 'entitlements'? Th

The term you're looking for in FDA speak is 'Laboratory Designed Test', I've included a link to the FDA's guidance document on LDTs below. The reason why FDA approved tests frequently work as 'black boxes'

Ha. I mean, every engineer loves a green field project, and everyone wants to do a technically sweet project. But engineers of all people should understand that not every project can be technically sweet, and certainly not every project can

Well, they have non-medical versions of their products. What getting the medical device rating means depends on the medical device category. I have no idea how Japan works, but for FDA (and they have submitted for FDA approval, they're

I don't know why you want to call it borked... Their financials show sales going back to 2013, they're selling product that isn't exactly as easy to buy as SaaS or really any software. I mean, it is slow, but I don't thi

The answer is either 'yes', because the 5 is actually in the hundreds place, or 'no' because the value of the 5 is actually 500. You can answer either because of incomplete information/context to the question (which

I think the very page you linked explains why they're targeting clothing. Performance clothing is a high margin, high turn around market with low regulation and relatively loose quality standards. Spiber can use this as a test bed for

Obama didn't have infinite political capital. We was dealing with some pretty heavy things in the aftermath of the stock market crash - stuff that was potentially alienating his own base, while also trying to push through his own legac

I mean, clearly copying and reference in art and culture is somewhat different from product development - art and culture is competitive in a different way from product development. But one of the things that I've thought of is that co

You will enjoy this documentary (Everything a Remix). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coGpmA4saEk Hardly 'scientific'... but how do you quantify copying.

Lossy vs non-lossy compression is orthogonal to the sampling rate and bit-depth (which is what this article is about). While the MP3 standard effectively means sampling more than 48kHz is useless, there's no reason you can't have

But it's absolutely possible - at least conceptually - to have your cake and eat it in the realm of economics. This is literally an entire field where the predominant assumption is that life is not zero-sum game. That said, I feel that

I went digging and it looks like the JLTV is a partial replacement for HMMWV. There are a quarter million HMMWV in the US Army fleet alone - the Army order for JLTV is 50k until 2040. No news on how they're going to replace the other h

While that's largely true when dealing with pure business logic, there's a maddeningly large amount of UI logic, and hybrid business/UI logic that becomes really annoying (or outright impossible) to handle in pure MVVM with W
