I don't think I've ever seen a bank offer anything other than compound interest on a loan. It's definitely legal and most likely the default for every account.

I co-own a medical clinic and would love to talk with you about how we solve efficiency problems in our practice. (scribes are too slow/expensive) My email is in my profile.

Erlang's main weakness is computationally intensive mathematics. You could always write a NIF in C if you needed pure speed for a specific function. If you're not interested in writing safe c code it looks like there is a bridge f

I'm guessing there is a lot of money to be made using moneyball techniques to hire people. There are likely many candidates out there that would excel at professions, but don't have the ability to signal it to employers.

That is around 90 Billion dollars. I'm not sure where you got that number exactly, but phrma member companies list their combined 2016 R&D expenditures at 65.3 billion[0] so it seems plausible. For context that is around the GDP of

I'd rather see people install CO detectors within their homes as it is a more general solution to this problem. CO poisoning can occur with any fuel burning appliance in your home. It would be better to cover all sources instead of eac

To clarify, a mistake is an error which causes the tests to be invalidated. Theranos had to throw out all Edison test results for 2014 and 2015. Clinical decisions were made as a result of these tests and it is not unreasonable to believe t

Or they could be bankrupt by July. Everyone points to data as manna from heaven, but other people need to find your data valuable. Who is going to buy moviepass data? Studios are drowning in data and still can't predict hits reliably.

So the citizens move, the city shrinks, housing becomes more affordable and they don't need to raise salaries as the cost of living is lower. It's all an equilibrium, you can't just see one side while ignoring the other. All

Some unsolicited advice from someone who has also been down a similar path. I normally suggest eschewing the javascript class model in favor of using stateless functional components.[0] I've found them simpler to understand and it cuts

Glad to see greater adoption of Yubikeys, however there is still a long way to go. Speaking from experience writing a u2f_auth client library, browser support is still nascent and hacky. Edge, safari, and AWS would need to adopt it before I
