One of my VP's (one of the coolest dude I know) would often say "slow is smooth and smooth is fast". You're absolutely right that fear interferes with one's ability to reason rationally but I'd also add that fe

I'm not a googler, but my take would be that Google was a smaller ship with technical founders at the helm who understood the problem and acted accordingly with first mover benefits. I remember when I started to use search engines in g

I'm a bit confused on the use of word non-invasive in this context. I was under the impression that non-invasive meant no cutting of tissue. Even if ultrasound separated the cancerous tissue from the healthy tissue - how would the surg

It's also unfair to lump all 18-22 year olds from dysfunction background as potential sexual predators.

IANAL; I believe you are referring to the second prong of the qualified immunity (QI): "right infringed has to be "clearly established" at the time of the official's conduct." We should maintain QI but this second t

Using your analogy - if MS/CS are the arsonists, then Delta are the landlords unsafely storing ammonium nitrate in their own warehouse. Their lack of response to MS/CS isn't coming from a place of reducing potential additiona

Same reason why an aircraft manufacturing company would get involved in a NTSB investigation when there is an airplane crash. Just because they messed up one or more things (i.e. MCAS on MAX) doesn't mean they can't provide expert

Yes and no. Crowdstrike was the executioner of this epic fail for sure but their archaic infra practices made it even worse. Both Crowdstrike and Microsoft CEOs reached out only to be rebuffed by Delta's own. If I was the CEO - I'

May I ask which vendor you use for pharmaceutical needs now? I used to use Amazon Pharmacy but then have since gone back to CVS.

This is a good rule of thumb. I'd even go further and say use Amazon as a last resort merchandiser maybe except for few areas like comixology. I remember seeing threads here about how Amazon mixes SKUs of different origins so it feels

I guess if those tech companies are VC-funded... isn't the whole point to IPO? I'm saying that's neither right nor wrong but there are examples of the good on both sides; Jetbrains and Crowdstrike seems to be doing fairly wel

Your argument - "[t]his is a deeply imperialist, Euro/Anglo-centric viewpoint" - is deeply lazy. You should be easily rebut the their points if the article is bad. If anything - your arguments actually reinforce the article&#

Non-causal link but 8x times the risk off of one study at MGH seems to be the eli5. I made my comment about dependency on these class of drugs a while ago on hacker news but I’d love to see a regimented system that helps patients eventually

Seconded on gov. I work for an R&D company associated with DoE. I don't work more than 40 hours a week and occasionally as few as 20 hours a week. Every now and then I get an itch to apply to a startup and then I remember those 80-

Why do you find it troubling? The article doesn't claim that poor parenting and divorce doesn't have negative effects on a child. It claims that social media, amplified by technology, has had negative effects on his/her child

You bring up a good point about the US Supreme Court. My limited understanding as a US citizen is that they are there to interpret laws, not make them. I don't know how well that works in practice so I'm willing to be swayed on th

It's also not surprising. Anime studios rarely make money off their work. The only exceptions that I can think of are KyoAni and A1 since they have IP ownership, or have financial backing from a bigger company like Sony, respectively.

I think you really put this well: This is in opposition to the usual "the only point of a business is to make money" ethos that so permeates neoliberal capitalism that we hardly even notice it anymore. The latter is dysfunctional,

I agree with your sentiment but I feel like that's an impossible expectation/standard to set for certain companies that don't have the luxury of dropping data whenever they see fit. For example consumer banks abide by the Ban
