This is why pharmaceutical sales representatives are so important. Most doctors are far too busy treating patients day to day to stay up on every new drug that comes out. CME can help cover some of this, especially with new procedures or tr

I think you are getting too into the weeds with these complaints. This hierarchy is pretty good. Performance and security are important, but they aren't always a full stop, where a change the breaks the API should always be a full stop

While physics can explain a lot of everyday life, you don't need to actually know it, understand it, or even be correct about it to use the effects. Humans built structures long before we formalized the definition of gravity, but they

It depends on the accuracy and speed. If a dog can detect cancer in a stool sample with 90% accuracy, and the dog can go through 1k+ samples a day, then that sounds like a good deal. The value proposition is in high volume and low invasive

A state being a net contributor generally means they have a lot of high paying jobs and successful companies concentrated in their state. Michigan is actually a good example as you can see when the big 3 auto companies were at their peak th

Switching makes sense because the length of day varies by 3-4 hours for a lot of the population over a year. Switching means about a week of unpleasantness twice a year, where not switching would be 30-60 days around the summer or winter so

This requires essentially every business, person, and entity in existence to change hours all at the same time at least twice a year. It is far easier to just change the clock and know that a store closes at 8 than having to remember it clo

unless you do this in the left lane or something, it probably doesn't change throughput that much or at all. A major cause of traffic jams is cascades of braking, so leaving a safe distance allows for coasting instead of overreacting t

Credit score only matters if you want to borrow money. If you already have a mortgage, your credit score is basically invincible unless you stop paying or declare bankruptcy. Fluctuations for hard pulls and closing accounts are temporary.

Most loans are simple interest, or "compounded" monthly with a payment greater than the interest so there is no compounding. This is generally good for the consumer, you don't want interest compounding against you. Is it poss

Wide salary bands will only lead to people applying that qualify for around the low end. If you advertise for 100k-150k, the 150k candidate will skip you for a 130k-180k posting. I'm not going to waste time applying for a job that has

Non-coding collaboration is so much easier in person, and it's the main reason I don't want 100% remote. It's so much easier to have meetings in person with a whiteboard to draw a flowchart/diagram/brainstorm than d
