I think heat is meant to represent the ignition source. The reaction creates heat which then disapates into cold, right? If this were to happen in absolute 0, would it be possible to sustain a fire? From learning more (just now) about absol

You seem to be falling into the Historian's Fallacy[1]. (decision makers of the past viewed events from the same perspective and having the same information as those subsequently analyzing the decision.) At the time COVID data was spar

Giving out medical advice like this can be dangerous. There may be lots of other factors that you and I aren't aware of. Its an interesting thought but be careful urging everyone else to avoid the recommendation.

The more I learn about the healthcare system through my wife (a nurse), the more I marvel at how much we don't know about our own bodies.

side note: I like to use 20Q as a way to combat over use of ML. Whenever its suggested for a feature/product its wise to ask: would 20Q solve it faster? The idea being that some very basic algorithms beat out ML if its not an ML proble

The thing I always struggled with about the "Monkeys at typewriters" type thinking is what about entropy? Yes with unlimited attempts anything can happen but if you have a force working against it, it could also be equally likely

This. As a creative person (UX designer, cartoonist, painter), I have experienced this throughout my life, especially in drawing. As a kid I drew constantly, in school, at home, everywhere. All through my life I drew and drew. If quantity w

15min tests are possible, we have a health center here in the bay area that does them. I'm guessing the difference is actually having the testing machine present vs sending it out.

Agreed. Some of the examples were cringe worthy. Since the user is receiving an email they have shown some intent. To continue the example: its the barista being nice and suggesting add ons with a big tip jar right in front. Now, this is al

None of our opinions matter though. We are not the target market usually. If the change in tone drives more business then it works. Now you could make the argument that ethically this mimicry (I like that term you used) is morally wrong. It

As a UX designer, I see this a lot. Design has come a long way in being valued but very few companies realize how absolutely critical UX is once you have a crowded market. In the early tech days "Just build it first and maintain moment
