Usually, the locale employee organization ("Betriebsrat") will negotiate a contract with the employer ("Betriebsvereinbarung") where the usage of company equipment for private use is regulated. Haven't read one in y

We are going to get rid of locales as much as we are going to get rid of local languages, tradition and culture. The US switched to the metric system in the 60s and there is a shitload of benefits in doing so. Has it worked? Not really. Sti

a) You write "1/2" and Excel replaces it with "01. Feb" by default if using de-DE as Locale (just checked it) [This auto replacement is also the basis of the linked article] b) There is no "." on the num-p

For Germany this converts to the first of Feb, and this way of entering dates is just so convenient, as you can type the whole date just using the keys from the num block. We do actually support this format in our app for date entry, simply

Sounds like a try at making somehow including the Milgram experiment [1] into a play. I guess we cannot learn to much, if the people in the experiment actually know it's all show. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/

There will likely be no RCT (randomized controlled trials) for infection patterns. As it‘s unethical to expose patients to a likely infection (the control arm without masks) with a potentially deadly virus.

That case though was about safety of the audience, says the article.

Now we all wonder if this is actually the same blanket ... I propose to add some markings to these products to explore how often Amazon will try to sell the same non-product.

PSA is definitivly used for early screening prior to diagnosis [1]. But we might use the word baseline for different things. As PSA is influenced by the patients physiology and activity [1], it can be helpful to understand what the non-canc

Depending on personnel preferences, you might want to get a regular PSA check once a year to ensure you catch it early to give you runway to evaluate treatment options. It's better to be able to assess the situation and contact multipl

Keyhole is the key here to walk out asap. The "roboter" is not delivering that much in terms of quality of outcome or speed of recovery.

Surgery, done by good surgeons, has low (single digit) complication rates. Tip: Ask your surgeon how often he does this specific surgery. Removing the prostate requires foremost experience to not severe any nerves surrounding the organ, whi

Immunotherapy, where drugs target specific mutation mechanisms, is making massive improvements lately. I have seen bone scans from metastasized patients before and after, where most metastasizes were gone after a couple of weeks of treatmen

Should have stressed the "over time" part more. Yes PSA is sensitive to sex and sport (esp. cycling), and also to inflammation. Plus you personal PSA value depends on the actual size of your prostate. That's why getting an ea

For metastasized cancers yes. But for primary cancers? Not such much. Patients need to step up and actively talk to multiple doctors if they want to get a complete picture.

I pretty much agree with your points. But this is not what we see in reality today. I believe that part of today's problem is knowledge, interest and incentives. - About 40% of patients (in general) do not care enough about their healt

A pathologist once told me the likelihood of having prostate cancer is basically you age: 50 -> 50%, 70 -> 70%, ...

I tend to agree that this is not such a relevant topic for the average prostate cancer age group which is 70+. Here most might die with prostate cancer but not from prostate cancer. But in the lower age groups 40-60 early detection should I

Prostate cancer is somewhat unique by having a very sensitive blood marker (PSA) being available which can be monitored easily over time. And yes, there is an (I would say) ongoing debate about the value of using PSA to detect early cancers

Could this simply be because schools were closed? If there is no child 2 child interaction, there cannot be an infection via this vector. Lockdown effectively places every family into its own bubble. Family members can only get infected by

Thanks, I usually refer to them as immutable, haven't actually come across the term persistent for these, but seems sensible.

It’s an interesting question why we focus so much on algorithms that are mostly not used on a day to day basis, but the topic of persistence that’s everywhere and which is often only partially understood is far from being this prominent. I

As long as we are counting LOC before compiling, that can be solved easily: if (false) { /* original code stays here, as we are payed by LOC */ } else { /* write your new code here */ }
