Pairs of nodes, I believe. The connectivity is usually an edge weight between the ROI "nodes," the graph points.

You're misunderstanding double-entry bookkeeping. Something does not have to come into the company got every transaction moving something out of the company. If your company gives $1000 to Billy, you document a $1000 debit from your gi

If you use lemmy.ml, sure. Or if you don't curate a frontpage of your own topics, sure. But I joined through some unaligned Scandinavian instance, found topics I like, and stay away from the /r/all equivalent, and it's j

That's correct. When people speak of the early days of Reddit it seems like they are talking about whatever time long ago they initially joined. I'm always hesitant to make accounts on new sites, so I thought I had waited a long t

I can't tell from the linked article whether the ratings/descriptions were made immediately, but if so you are correct. It's just not applicable to those examples. This only applies in a "hired on the spot" type of

Understood. It's tough not to personalize findings like this. ET is heritable and dementia is heritable to some extent, but that doesn't mean one causes the other. I'm not saying you have nothing to worry about, but this pape

Thanks. The best way to evaluate this is the prospective analysis, adjusted for control variables. The confidence interval on that hazard ratio includes 1.00, so the null hypothesis that there is no difference stands. For the cross-sectiona

We're really going to have to wait until the paper comes out to evaluate this. They compared to the general population, and there is a good chance that the participants in the study were severe enough to have approached a neurologist f

Not everyone is accusing the doctors involved, but when I wrote the comment, there were numerous armchair expert opinions squarely blaming the doctors, including at least one who said that doctors limit the number of training slots availabl

I can assure you that in a hospital system, the doctor is not getting much of the $25 either. For my situation, we don't charge for messages, but for other services we need to hit a target (messages don't count) based on our salar

This is one of the major issues underlying the perversity of US healthcare. That and high-level executive churn incentivizing "innovative" initiatives and policy changes just so the executive makes their mark and leaves for the ne

I don't know what is happening elsewhere I suppose. I'm a PhD clinician at a US public academic medical center and respond to patients within 24 hours even if it's to say "let me check on that...it may take a week to get

It's actually many, many genes that are overexpressed and result in the Down syndrome phenotype. My work is with adults with DS and Alzheimer disease--in this case, triplication of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) gene on chromosome

by thereticent 3y ago
It's an interesting topic. The primary cause of Down syndrome is trisomy of chromosome 21, which is what you described. That form is not inherited. A much less common cause, mosaicism, is a random occurrence during cell division and is

If you insist about the inherent superiority, you should define superiority. Obviously in the case of my colleague, she has achieved success in that career already. Surely that is the only "superiority" in the example, and that&#x

Quite a claim. No evidence. As an example, I'm on the neurology faculty. One colleague is an academic activist in the sense that she educates, develops programming, and sits on several committees dedicated to ensuring that historically

There is some fundamental disconnect in your position if you think applying an objective framework will correct scientific and educational practice. The fact that you seem to be neglecting is that science and science education are social pr

I'm sorry if this sounds personal--it's not. But your stated view is again naive.

by thereticent 3y ago
This is a very naive take. The view of most postmodern forms of critique is that we can rule out clearly wrong views of the world as useless or counterproductive, but there is no one unmediated perspective that represents the truth. Moreove

Critical thinking is not difficult if you make it a priority. Zinn states facts that can be verified. He also states opinions and arguments based on the select set of facts he presented, and you can take, leave, or criticize those arguments

It's not common knowledge; it's a common misconception. And it's pushed heavily by anti-intellectual, anti-academic people in order to advance agenda.

by thereticent 3y ago
This is a jaded and uncharitable take. I'm faculty and not an activist, but I know quite a few faculty activists, and they do what they do out of a sincere desire to help others. It's not about resentment at all.

I'd respond that there are many academic (and non-academic) intellectual activists that argue exactly that.

Isn't this exactly what 37signals and even joelonsoftware were? Isn't HN essentially a free conduit to YCombinator awareness? I don't see the problem with what you're describing. It seems like one of the most contributor

What seems unlikely? This is a whole essay addressing various ways of reasoning about the value of death to a person. I'm feeling frustrated that the engagement with this kind of content on HN is bald and unclear assertion. (This is no

Explain a little more. I'm not understanding why the "potential impermanence" of death is a factor at all, much less why that potential impermanence is corroborated by the probability of existing in the first place. To me it

This must have taken off as widely known YouTube lore, because within 5 seconds of the caver's greeting in the M Cave video, my 8 year old said, "Oh, are you looking up Kenny Veach?" My 12-year-old didn't know the name a

Nagel & Newman's Gödel's Proof is an excellent book on how the proof works. It doesn't have all the tie-ins and fun asides that GEB has, but it's stronger for it.
