Have JSON and REST been meaningfully adopted in healthcare? I thought most things still used the god-awful HL7 with hopes of migrating away.

I really dislike these articles on pop-sci websites. It’s basically just another clickbait news site except it has the word “science” displayed everywhere to give itself slightly more legitimacy. This artery is just another normal variant.

The current publication system doesn't necessarily avoid that problem either. Many papers are accepted due to the prestige of certain authors and conformity to other papers in the same field. Filters like these can lead to a false sens

I think the argument is that it shouldn't take 10 readings to understand a very clear and good paper in your field. There's likely an easier way to communicate dense information.

I would argue that in order to prevent users from leaving your platform or from developing a reputation for being a stagnant platform (e.g. Internet Explorer/Edge, Windows, IBM) you need to be sensitive to new trends. Meaning you'

There's a lot of value in NOT having to make those decisions. Most users don't want to think about how their computer or phone should work—they just want it to work out of the box. That requires sensible defaults and slowly introd

I see what you're saying, namely that there's a disconnect between food/resource production and population growth in the 1st and 3rd worlds. But I would point out that there are many, many more factors involved beyond just fo

Hard disagree. Birth rates are at their lowest throughout the developed world. In some cases, it’s below the replacement level. The developing world’s birth rate is also dropping as those regions become more developed (China for example, wh

Are you implying that even a microphone is too much of an invasion of privacy? There’s a trade off between security and usability, and while that balance is different for every user, this one seems a bit of an outlier. How would this even w

That may be true—the system may be better served by raising the floor on education. But voters are individuals, and the most passionate are likely the type of people who prioritize maximizing their own (smart) kids’ opportunities over raisi

Am I misunderstanding? Isn’t this already possible on iOS? You can either disable notifications for individual apps or just turn on Do Not Disturb mode and leave it on. Fairly sure there is a setting to allow phone calls.

I haven’t found this to be as extreme as you say in my experience. More often, the things I find on blogs and Stackoverflow are just not the exact issue I’m facing rather than flat out incorrect.

In my opinion, this is partially the flip side to prioritizing data privacy. HIPAA has been very successful in getting hospitals and healthcare organizations to take patient data privacy seriously, but HIPAA has also disincentivized these o

Generally, these guidelines do exist, but they're made on a case-by-case basis by individual research groups. So there are parts of medicine where we have great research and other parts where we don't know much. In the US, the USP

Sure, I'm confident that Australians wouldn't hesitate to see their doctors given the low barrier to access. But the real question is how does any doctor in any country diagnose an early stage cancer? This isn't a trivial pro

The other commenter is pointing out the flaw in your argument. You're claiming that Australians are less likely to see stage IV cancer than Americans due to a worse healthcare system in America. As the other commenter states, that&#x27

Because you can’t make every tool you’ll need to program effectively. Unlike bread, which only takes hours to make, good tooling will take months to years if done yourself.

Right, the article is talking about a different sort of growth, but I'm responding to your assertion that there are companies that are neither growing nor dying. I agree that some companies may be sustainable while having net zero grow

Maybe those companies don't have net growth, but they still need some sort of growth. Regardless of what industry you're in, every business will face inevitable losses—customers will decide to leave, inflation will occur, equipmen

This is pretty much in line with standard physician salaries in the US. If anything Fauci could be making more in a traditional hospital setting at his career stage.

Yeah, I believe your experience, and I think it highlights the issues we have with communication in medicine. While it may look like your doctor is just blindly Googling something, I would imagine they're probably using it as more of a

This isn't even close to how doctors prescribe medications. You don't prescribe meds without having a working diagnosis. Once you have that, you use the knowledge gained in med school and residency to pick the first line drug. If

Huge fan of time blocking! It's been a game changer for me. Time blocking (pre-planning my daily schedule) eliminates the need to figure out what to do next, which I realized was a big source of procrastination. If my next steps/a

The 25–35 age group is not "extremely low risk" for a serious COVID-19 infection. The risk is lower than older age groups, but it's also substantially increased due to their higher degree of direct patient interaction compare
