This is true, but you are almost surely more informed on statistics than the general population. You don't figure into a statistical system to "transform medicine," because you are an outlier.

I believe there's a fine line between doctors advising and deciding. So I was probably far too absolute in my previous comment. There's a reason that second opinions exist, for instance. However, I still lean towards ignoring this

This statistic seems like a useful tool for doctors and others prescribing medicine. However, I don't at all like the insinuations this article repeatedly makes that doctors are keeping information away from patients that could save th

The things you describe, unlike Firefox and the web frameworks Mozilla develops, require servers. Servers are expensive, even with the current low cost-end users ratio of cloud servers. I think few people will agree that it is within your &

Let's not jump to conclusions. I was talking about real events, not a "jab." The event I was referencing turns out to have taken place in Denmark, not Holland, and was auctioning sugar beets, not tulips. They are using secure

I believe one of these secure communal computing systems was used recently in Holland to securely allow for bidding on tulip growing rights.

I've also seen this behavior pattern a lot. I think there is a subtle line between disassociating yourself from evangelical Bitcoin fanatics and pushing a technology without really understanding it. Also, isn't blockchain style co

This article, like a lot of science writing, seems to just pull together a lot of studies with a common thread and write an alternative version of the abstract for each one. It is in many ways a less useful version of an academic review tha

If I understand the quotes correctly, Page is talking about marketing Google to users, while Thiel is referencing Google's sales of search ads. Two totally different topics.

This is in essence what I enjoy most out of good web journalism. Taking advantage of one of the real powers of hypertext, the lack of "shelf space" restrictions on column inches, to have huge, blown-up photos; and using understate

Add some padding, coordinate the colors, change the font to something more distinctive, and you've got yourself a design language.

I'm no expert on these matters, but it seems a bit ridiculous to call out entire swaths of the programming/computer science world while referencing the JVM as a benchmark.

This struck me as almost a perfect example for good content on a company blog (outside of the required press-release style posts). Ties into their software, light-hearted, polished and well put together.

I almost wish all cities were built like this, all at once and never incremented (though I'm sure construction will continue after the city is "done"). It would be great to see different trends in design and architecture spla
