stouset didn't cite the IPCC. While that admits the possiblity that they implicitly referred to the IPCC, there are many other sources of variables in the climate debate that are in the 95% range. The mere fact that one is 95% does not

Phenylalanine is one of the 20 amino acids required for life as we know it. You are exposed to many times more phenylalanine when you eat high-protein foods compared to an entire 12 pack of diet soda. Phenylketonurics have to track their ph

In the short term, sure, there's easy money. But as the other commenter points out, with money goes control. You are selling control of your society's greatest asset, you, to a foreign, communist, government. These are not nice pe

As a Navy physician trying to get IRB-approved research done, could you kindly share what kind of app needs a lone developer to have 134k SSNs on a laptop?

You probably have no idea the degree to which the IT people in and around the military maximize their belief that those simpleton sailors not in the IT circle of trust are sheeple, and that they, the IT gods are, each and every one, the gra

As a sailor in the US Navy, let me quote from the Chairman's letter leading the OPM breach report (1), here he is addressing all federal CIOs: The effectiveness of our country's response depends on your answer to this question: C

As a pathology resident, I assure you, the voided stream is not sterile, and definitely has all the building blocks necessary for bacterial growth. That said, inland cities all recycle water. And they generally return water into the rivers

What this really ignores is all the inland cities that use the same water source, one down-stream from the next, from the great lakes to the gulf of Mexico. I toured one of those sewage treatment plants in 1993 (1). It remains one of the mo

Reddit has arrived: a plausibly researched answer that's so far off base it pains me. Physician here, and my wife is an occupational therapist. RSI is like saying you have a cold. Yes, there is a problem, no it's not specific, but

Producing false statements about people with intent is libel. The people who deploy such bots should be held accountable every bit as much as any journalist. Job title means nothing: a fake news purveyor and a journalist should be held to t

Martin Wicke had a few hundred of us up and running in AWS-powered lab environments, each with our own GPU, at the NVidia GTC in April. Now, they also had a direct line of communication to somebody at AWS to make sure that many GPUs were av

So use long-range bombers to soften their deployed forces, missile installations, and ports prior to sending your $20B asset into the breach. The war games you read about generally assume we're throwing a single battlegroup against an

The most durable value proposition of an aircraft carrier is the ability to park 4 acres of sovereign US territory 2 miles off the coast of almost any country in the world within a few days. In close second is the fact that in it's def

How is Facebook a technology? It's a database-backed website, complete with PHP and MySQL. What innovation is intrinsic to anything about Facebook?

I evacuated a family of 4 for Katrina, handled antiterrorism for an aircraft carrier after 9/11, and deployed to Japan for Fukushima. This will not be a 'canned food' sort of catastrophe. That's sillyness. People on thi

No, men die of suicide at 3.5x the rate of women. But there have been similar articles about the general trend of increasing suicide rates, and the highest rate being among white men. Whenever there's a gender or race break-out, there&

What libraries are, really, is reading rooms. Even in college, in the 90s, I never went to the library for access to the books. I love the UCSD Medical Library. They tore out literally tons of shelves and it is now effectively a vast readin

If you're getting out of school after undergrad, the variance in your career trajectory 5 years after graduation is so large it is difficult to predict which industry, if any, you'll be in. I'd give you a 90% chance you'

Some surgeons also use active cooling systems. The patient is being actively warmed and the surgeon, gowned and gloved, is cooled. The anaesthesiologist is juuuust right.

Hi, I'm a pathology resident and I would like to present a journal club on this. My undergrad is in physics and I have taught myself some bioinformatics, like Durbin's use of Markov models, Ukkonen's suffix tree, BWT, BLAST,
