"Look. We’re not going to beat around the bush" during the _fourth_ meeting made me chuckle

I admire your tenacity -- after a certain hour on a Friday, I try to avoid other peoples diffs :)

This brings me joy -- a problem well expressed, and a quick and helpful response

Don't get me started on the loans either -- sometimes those incentives aren't just incentives, but necessary outcomes given your financial state exiting med school. I know folks who emerged from residency (where they moonlighted t

Yeah, this is the really hard part about medical research. At the individual level for those who are really qualified to do it, the incentives lean in favor of practice, where your comp is 4x-10x higher

You're correct, but also, "the pandemic" in that sense is so broad that it's not super helpful. It often feels equivalent to saying "the culture of the 60s produced Jimi Hendrix". What culture? What about it? J

I have similar experiences to you to this kind of stuff, and will add to that another layer of analysis -- racking your brain for all the beliefs and experiences you have that contradict each other. I have no belief in the supernatural, par

I'd bet that high number of households that have dogs is one reason we have lower rates of dog related injuries. Well fed pets behave quite different to street dogs

I'm an American dog lover, and was surprised when all of my Vietnamese-family-by-marriage voiced similar perspectives. Stray dogs were a serious, common threat that could kill you.

Because there are medications that "must" be administered intravenously or in the muscle. There's no test that can only be performed via canine.

I see your point about commenting on sentences, but would also argue that academic writing provides a better model for this via quotations and references

Descartes described animals as being basically machines without sensation, and I recall many college debates with a Kantian prof who towed a similar line (probs rhetorically, defending the text). More examples of this probably exist, the ex

by trentgreene 5y ago
I don’t disagree with you, but to the parents point, there’s a pretty long philosophical -> scientific history which held that animals didn’t have emotions

“ Meetings would go phenomenally well. VCs would get excited, and many even commit to term sheets. Then, mysteriously, they’d back away. ” I am but a lowly code slinging peasant, but my dad raised some serious cash in his day. I’ve heard th

Yeah... but that "eventually" is metabolically relevant. Anecdata, but 250g / day of complex carb felt very different to 125g simple carb + 125g complex carb / day. As an athlete, and at one point a keto based athlete, I

I think op is referring to the article, which uses "Autistic" no matter sentence position. Strangely, they use "non-autistic", though I'm unsure of any hardcore style rules about this

IIRC, Wittgenstein describes the usage of type to create a smile face in one of his writings and provides an example (I want to say I saw this in Culture and Value, a collection released in 1970). He died in 1951. This is of course, not to

I wonder if the touch points of the old violin were modern — I.e new bow, new chin rest, strings. Really would just leave the thumb the the fretting hand on the old surface. Note, am not an actual violin player. But can speak to the sax exa

TBH, having worked in big companies, I don't really trust the quality of their research without really thinking through it myself -- is there a non-paywall version of that article that has specifics about what the data showed? More dir

Related: Does anyone know of any studies that actually isolates social media as harmful to well being? Time spent on social media is a poor indicator given that it could be valuable escapism. Like any comparison of kids who have _no_ exposu

Lukewarm take: It's hard to isolate FB as a major determiner in kids well being when its rise (and controversy) coincides with declining economic opportunities and massive political instability. Was Facebook the reason I was depressed
