Understood. Thank you!

Can you clarify what "the program" refers to? Is this the new variant where demo days are discarded in favor of mock board meetings (as discussed in the blog)? Or is the demo day/mock board meeting just the last piece, and

I don't think this case was at all about the legality of recording the police, as the headline proclaims. The defendant was never charged with illegally recording the police, or with anything at all. The conclusion, in fact, gives the

It is untrue that >90% of cardiovascular deaths are attributable to overweight. In fact, if you look at the Framingham model for predicting heart attacks, obesity is not a feature (other than its indirect effects on blood pressure and d

Does the definition of the disorder exclude a mere conditioned response? I would have liked to see a control group that included people who were conditioned to have an aversive reaction to a particular sound. Seeing as how "misophonia

Or I can wait for the end of your lifespan. You're going to die no matter what. Zero bits.

Deriving a "lethal bit count" from virus genomes is not quite fair, since the virus requires considerable metabolic support from the host genome. I think I can kill you with 21 bits: hydrogen cyanide is a three-atom molecule. Ass

They are not humans because they are not fertilized eggs. Unfertilized eggs are haploid, not diploid, meaning they are unpaired chromosomes (am ignoring X and Y). It also means they could not produce a living human... too many problems

It appears that the hospital area is pressurized, given that an "open air promenade" is separately called out as such. Also, the main threats from chronic tuberculosis were lung hemorrhage and inanition (wasting) -- not hypoxemia.

I'd offer case-mix as a simple explanation of the findings. In other words, when lots of cardiologists in a hospital leave for a conference, elective procedures are deferred until their return... which means that emergency cases const

It looks to me like France has two main GBM groups: (1) Hospital Pitie-Salpetriere in Paris, and (2) La Timone Hospital in Marseilles. This page from Expertscape will help you find the individuals in those institutions who know the most abo

I'd submit it's really not possible to digest the ton of information you've found with any confidence that you can pick the "right" path for your relative. After all, such large masses of information is why doctors

If hospitals were run like startups, they would ship a 1.0 product as soon as possible, tolerating the embarrassment it causes and not worrying about the people they killed. A better model is aviation, i.e. an industry where failure is ofte

The paper's flaw is that it doesn't look at other potential confounders. Here is a simple, but important one: Is there a difference between the amount of sleep that partnered and unpartnered people get? (My experience is lots le

The cost of access to saunas is not zero in money, and not zero in time. This in itself creates differences between groups, which is why randomized trials are far superior to case-control or observational studies. This is so well establis

$80 per month is a lot of money for most people. It's like buying a new pair of running shoes every month. Quite a luxury. This in itself separates groups of people. Reasoning stands.

As always, correlation does not equal causation. According to the abstract, the effect was significant only at a "dose" of 4 to 7 sauna visits per week in the 20 years of follow-up. Now, I don't know much about the availabili

The Bloomberg article mis-interprets the scientific article. In effect, the scientific article shows how we could predict which tissues are most likely to become cancerous if we had no population statistics on cancer. That is, we could loo

I don't get it. I have a website that is purely content and available to everyone. It has no user accounts, no sign-ups, no nothing but static pages. Why should I use HTTPS for that? To prevent man-in-the-middle attacks?

Looks very useful, but would it be possible to choose different colors for the available/not available tiles? It's very difficult for those with subnormal color vision to distinguish the red and the green. Thanks.

The reductio ad absurdum does not work here. You are advocating (or at least facilitating) that people put things into the their bodies, in the manner of pharmaceuticals, that would not otherwise go there. The responsibility is on you to

Consistently sleeping 8 hours a night will do more for your brain than these chemicals. What a waste.

I do not understand this. It seems to be an argument that a measuring cup is more valuable than a nurse. All the words in the world won't convince. Ever been sick?

I'd disagree. If someone figures out the principles underlying an effective anti-Alzheimer vaccine, or anti-sarcopenia vaccine, that will be a "difference" no matter what definition is applied.
