If you went to higher-class restaurants, small menus are the norm. I'm no expert, and my wife only has a culinary degree from 10 years ago gathering dust, but some possible reasons: - A smaller menu lets the chefs focus on learning to

I doubt the extra years lost will affect people's decisions. I've seen a lot of 20 somethings weaving in traffic or not wearing protective hear while motorcycling. It's human nature to enjoy life by taking risks, reasonable

What's the benefit of lumping all these companies into a single bucket and calling it "tech?" Looking at it as an investor, it's a distracting term. When the pandemic hit, did Uber start making more money like Amazon?

I wouldn't call it laziness but money-driven apathy. They probably tell the warehouse packers to use envelopes for all non-fragile items. As long as the cost of returns is less than the cost of hiring more packers to keep up, Amazon

They are not anonymized. We may not always give out things like contact information or fields specifically for joining to other datasets, but we assume the provided data is enough to reasonably identify patients. Age, city, date of diagno

There are legitimate cases for approved release to private citizens. For example, the standard for public health cancer research is getting records from state registries. Of course, in those situations, the requirement is that no personal

I'd say we'd need at least two years until that. The first to make a life table [0] and determine increased risk for each age in years. Then we could assume each person's added risk at successive ages is similar to people of

My guess is the control group wasn't made of people with no history of antibiotics. They just used the model to predict the risk difference between zero and one time of taking antibiotics. The control was people from the general popu

It's not so much that ubiquitous telemetry can't identify this, it's whether it's better for this than a focus group. You can have background telemetry with the focus group so you're not just giving customers what

Primaries in gerrymandered districts weed out moderate candidates. Their goal is to win the majority in their district or state, so they can sometimes ignore all other parties.

For the sake of an example, allow me to assume (a) there are 10 people in your class, (b) each of you has an average of one other "risky outing" (shop at a store, one meeting with coworkers, visit another household) a day, and (c)

I can't answer that until tomorrow (vacation). We try to reduce bias from competing causes of death by using the Pohar Perme method [0]. Though I now wonder if there is a larger difference for prostate cancer than other cancer types.

Funny thing: in my job, I've calculated the relative survival rate of prostate cancer (the difference in mortality risk between people diagnosed and a similar population in age, sex, and race). Cause of death is not considered, only t

A better way to think of it: if the system only has a 0.1% chance of an incorrect match and at least 700 people regularly shop there, each of them is more likely than not to be misidentified as somebody else.
