That's a nice soundbyte. How are you doing to get us there though without worse unintended consequences than the status quo?

Run for office. Seriously. Also I'll point out no lawmaker is going to be very well versed in every subject on which legislation is necessary.

> Hmmmm, it's difficult not to assume you are yourself a lobbyist or politician Well, it probably is difficult if one is not very good at thinking. Regarding your edit, sure, but that's not the content of the post I replied to.

Yes, but making it illegal would mean well meaning groups also can't bend the ear of politicians when they need to. The heavily moneyed interests don't really need professional lobbyists so much when they can offer high six figure

This is like saying any engineer would like it to be illegal to have people paid to write documentation. There's an art to communication, especially in niche area like getting the ear of the right legislators and translating a topic in

That's sometimes a good point. Doesn't seem to be a good point here unless you live next to a bean farmer. Coming up with a biomimicking synthetic makes plenty of sense in this instance.

that's a good problem to have, if you have bed bugs at all. Its like saying why would you have a crumpling car bumper that would be destroyed in a wreck and then he unsightly or need an expensive replacement. I would happily have this

Being silly is how they make a buck and are able to put time and resources into technical impressive content. They aren't being silly just to be silly

I think it is orthogonal to qualities I look for although sometimes popular=profitable=budget to spend on content quality.

There's usually going to be some signal though even if it was just localized downregulation of some proteins on immune cells induced by a cancer to escape detection. The trouble there is that may be swamped in a systemic serum sample.

There will be different definitions for related concepts but I reckon the parent comment is referring to "surge capacity"

Thats technically correct, the worst kind of correct. The same way dinosaurs, and hominids are both lobed-fin fishes (Sarcopterygii) as are all tetrapods.

For the most part that community is still around and still uses quite a bit of base R, you will see them overrepresented answering curly questions in help forums

by kuhewa 4y ago
But base r already has split() which does the same thing, turns a dataframe into a list of dataframe divided by values of a column. With the base r pipe operator and base functions like subset, aggregate, transform, split, you can basically

Their print method annoys me and I don't like the benevolent paternalism of attempting to prevent you from modifying indexes of the dataframe.

I find it entirely possible and it's my normal work flow to mix a little tidyverse in with base R without going against the grain, the worst it gets its probably converting data from long to wide format now and again but the functional

by kuhewa 4y ago
I write in R for much of my work days, and perhaps because I learned when the tidyverse was in its infancy (or before) I don't use much at all of its packages besides ggplot2. With the base r pipe operator I use zero dplyr and find mos

My source supports me attempting to steelman your claim by suggesting you mistakenly are referring to live births gestational age thresholds. That's not at all the same as a difference driven by how aggressive attempts to save premee l

by kuhewa 4y ago
The gestation age threshold doesn't really matter across Europe, but a birthweight threshold does somewhat. [1,2] The US doesn't look as bad for infant mortality when only comparing only births at 28 weeks or later, 2nd to last to
