I think that's more an indicator that Microsoft stores don't account for a significant portion of sales.

I think this is how you get schools to care and avoid doing the same in the future.

I assume this is partially about his detention without parental notification, but maybe that would be the city, not the school. It seems a pretty big error on the part of the administration and police.

The best reason, in my opinion, is that there are new drugs all the time. The FDA approves on the order of 20 or so drugs per year (that's new drugs, not including new generic versions of old drugs). So physicians have to learn 2 new d

And? That's not how medicine works. If everyone always acted in the way that's most healthy for them, drugs wouldn't be nearly as profitable, but those diseases are out there.

Not really. I'd guess a PI and 2 associates in each lab would run $325k. A single drug will touch about 8 or 10 labs in the 4 or so years to get out of pre-clinical development. Without any benefits, managers, equipment, lab space, or

One issue with this will be that so much media seems to be moving to very compelling stories, and you don't want to miss any. You used to be able to tune into the middle of a show without really missing anything.

Sort of an upvote on that platform; same here.

It's interesting to me because Facebook just made the news recently for saying they'd try to come up with something akin to dislike because the "like" is too positive a sentiment for many situations (death of a relative,

The most obvious answer for me is that the computer could tell people to take interest if the email matches some criteria. So it isn't the intrusive one, but it could automate finding people to intrude on.

That's like saying that Comcast and Verizon accepted public money to roll out infrastructure and invested their money in it. Therefore, we probably shouldn't address their artificial monopoly, because they invested money in their

I see an even bigger problem. Most people hate car salespeople. I hate car shopping and mattresses are even worse because the salespeople's incentives are very unclear and they clearly dick around with people. That perception isn'

I think the problem here is that of BMI. While it is true that BMI is not always accurate as a measure of fitness, it usually is for people who go around saying that BMI doesn't mean anything. It is only incorrect for people who are ex

Mean age is 13.3 ± 2.7 and the mean body weight is 93.0 ± 22.1 (~205lbs) at study start. That's pretty big for a 13 year-old.

by jonlucc 11y ago
Actually, I am a bit unimpressed by the body weight data. You can see clearly in their individual data that there are a ton of errors in readings, and while the SEM is low by the final day, I'm not sure you can make much of that inform

That's fascinating to me, because when I was in high school, it was opposite. I visited a few private school science class labs because I was in a sort of city-wide science club, and the ones in private schools generally had worse in

So if we take 2/10 children and subtract 2 kids from the denominator because their parents could afford to send them to private school, you get 1/4 of students in an average school. I imagine the ratio is even worse in most inne

This looks really good. Does anyone know of any Windows or Win+Linux options like this?

Interesting that the logo for The Primary School is nearly identical to that used by artist and printmaker Gustave Baumann[1]. I was just at a lecture about him today, and the speaker said it was probably taken from the International Order

Bringing an alarm clock to school and NOT setting it to go off during class is more suspicious to me.

It's legal, as long as the lot owner doesn't mind, right? So why are the cops bothering you?

by jonlucc 11y ago
Also, if someone starts to challenge your data source, be sure to settle or drop the case. We wouldn't want a legal challenge to have a chance of succeeding and stopping the unconstitutional practices.

> How ridiculous is it that we protect cash so well but we don't think kids should be protected? You've touched on one of the problems with that argument, but the rest are even easier to address. Money is more easily corralled

On the communication one: I work for a large pharma company that switched from physical phones to VOIP through Lync. Well they sent an email a week in advance and updated Lync, but the update required a user to sign in again. I had many peo

I believe that system is called ShotSpotter. There are a couple drawbacks (coverage isn't perfect), and I've heard someone claim that it is nearing nanny-state levels of surveillance. I don't think the microphones are clear e

Every terrestrial radio station I've listened to has a story a couple times a month about the "top 10 things people said about something" that is lifted directly from a top post in /r/AskReddit. Some stations mentio

According to them, ThinThread had the added benefit of completely disregarding domestic communications. Only after the agency gutted the protections did Binney and Drake come out.

Would you feel better if the person said "Hi, I work for UPS; are you home right now?"? There's no authentication built into the phone call. Perhaps Amazon should use their apps to facilitate that kind of communication with s
