I didn't say that technology won't fix anything, merely that it won't fix everything.

No. I can transcribe every interaction with 100% accuracy, but if those notes aren't used in any way it's not data-driven. This article shows that the notes are inaccurate, suggestions using the notes are routinely ignored, and th

For your first example, wouldn't the friction be reduced just by telling patients the business hours of the pharmacies nearby? I hate how this question is always posed, as if I'm supposed to come up with a name and address out of

I think the real implications are much more chilling. As much as we like to believe otherwise, there is always a chance that a seemingly-healthy college kid will drop dead of something that even the best doctor wouldn't have anticipate

They see the same people but definitely don't get the same treatment. The insurance codes are different and the body of research is different. Putting $1 of research into genetic blindness does nothing for preventing astigmatism, even

Do blind people and nearsighted people have the same treatment? Saying people with profound autism need the same treatment as people with autism commenting on Hacker News is patently absurd. Go ahead and try offering therapy and workplace

I am way way out of my wheelhouse here. But you asked, so I'll share my experience and opinion in a roundabout way. When I was a kid, my parents' nicknames for me were Spock and Ms. Literal. I was gifted, at the top of my class,

I'm not well-versed in the Asperger's debacle so I didn't feel like it was my place to speak up here. Thanks for adding your perspective.

Social media is not disconnected from society as a whole. Influencers are called that because they have actual influence. You only need to look at and truly understand the MAHA movement to know this. It's not a movement by RFK; it&#x2

The overloading of the term autism has had a real damaging effect on some people. My cousin is profoundly autistic: he's nonverbal, and will never live independently. In the 90s most autism research was focused on helping people like h

This is the part I think young people don't understand. My husband and I worked around 16 years combined in tech. We started pretty late, since we both have PhDs, and we're not engineers so we aren't making top of the market

Yeah, after you've had this problem once it seems you'd uncheck delete after import before buying a literally entirely new photography system.

I was alive at that time and I loved the Redwall books, Enders Game, LOTR before the movies, and some Heinlein. Never read Harry Potter, which came out when I was in middle school. And I was a girl. Characterizing girls as only liking Harry

The other part doesn't change anything at all. Here you go: Q1: I looked at only one of a pair of two randomly selected children and it was a girl. What is the probability there are two girls? Q2: I looked at both of two randomly selec

by in_cahoots 1y ago
How did you determine at least one is a girl? Presumably you looked in some way. But did you look at one child or both? That's the crux of the ambiguity.
46.
by in_cahoots 1y ago
But it's a valid point, the question is not well-posed. If you said, "I looked at both children and saw that at least one was a girl" more people would get the right answer. Many people will assume that the author looked at o

I think point #4 is a little off. Rich people think they have more power than poor people, but at least in this case they lacked the motivation to actually try to change things. Look at the facts. The article throws out a bunch of famous na

They were also the only Apollo crew not to have a divorce amongst them. It's an interesting contrast to the happy, proud, and thrilled 'All-American' stereotype they and their wives were presented as.

I was going to disagree with you as that hasn't been my experience, but I think you're actually on to something. The younger generation doesn't drink as much as they used to. I'm sure I would have thought twice about so

I assumed something similar. But the author presents this as some sort of trump card, as if the agriculture industry was suggesting farmers grow corn for ethanol instead of for food. And then the researcher lost interest before he could be

I read the whole article and I still don't see how Big Ag misled anyone. I may be misunderstanding, but it seems that the author is trying to differentiate between growing corn for food vs growing the same corn for ethanol. I assume th

Cognitive dissonance is a thing, yes. Would you also be surprised to know that some Americans smoke and don't use seatbelts? Not every immigrant is a twenty something working on a Masters degree or working in the tech industry. Most

But for anyone who knows the Bangladeshi community this isn't a surprise at all. Neither the source nor the way it wakes its way into immigrants diets. Every time my Bengali friends visit Bangladesh they take an empty suitcase to fill

I asked my Bengali friend, who grew up in a lower-class family in rural Bangladesh. This is something he learned about in schools in the 90's. The test isn't easily available, but it's not like this is a surprise to the Bangl

420 young, healthy patients probably see the doctor 2x a year at most. That's less than 20 visits a week for the doctor. And as soon as you become unhealthy you are passed along to a specialist or dropped. You're paying for the b

Do colleges not store stuff for students who will be back in the fall? My undergraduate school did this (and had a large contingent of students doing research over the summer), so graduation day just meant that furniture was mostly moved a

Yes, but I don’t see why that means overtime is compensated in one but not the other. If anything blue collar workers are more upfront about their time being valuable, while in white collar work there’s an unwritten expectation that you’ll

by in_cahoots 1y ago
At least in the trades the overtime is a well-understood part of the bargain. Plenty of white-collar employees work 60+ hour weeks with no additional compensation except the possibility of a larger-than-average bonus.

Those two principles come from two different people with two different styles of clowning. So it’s not a contradiction.

Trust me, if you have female anatomy after the first or second UTI it’s patently obvious when you are getting another one. That’s my point- I can’t think of an easier condition to recognize and self-diagnose than a UTI in a healthy adult.
