Also leads to undesireable conclusions. If the metric is minimize death, best way to achieve this is kill everyone alive today, or at least sterilize them. Everyone alive today will die someday, guaranteed. If they do not have any kids,

The problem in India may be more to do with the teaching style (i.e. rote memorization does not produce understanding) than the content being taught. And the right answer might be a combination of academics and real world application, inste

Part of their modus operandi is to eschew data science in favor of human in the loop pattern analysis. This is born from Thiel's experience at paypal where human in the loop was much better at catching human fraud than machine learnin

I agree what the police did in this situation is egregious. The cops were clearly overreacting. But, that doesn't merit the BLM claim that cops are the enemy of the black and hispanic community. Rather than disband the force, BLM sh

Ah, that makes more sense. I would still say they are both drawing on common mythic material, e.g. myths of daphne, narcissus, and I think in the odyssey there are bleeding reeds. However, the tree smoothering is similar, so I can grant T

I don't understand how his blog could impact his practice. He doesn't blog about his patients. Unless, of course, his practice is worried about the opinions Scott posts on his blog...
