"Interventions" might be experiencing the effects of Goodhart's Law. I agree that I intervene in my Tesla about once every 2 weeks, but not because it's about to get into an accide…

Was fun to google image search "car drives into wet concrete." Humans are worse drivers than I thought! https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=557782243&sxsrf=AB5stB...

If you're in a Physics masters or Ph.D. program and are thinking about dropping out because academia is not for you, please email me: david [at] TraceUp.com. We are hiring people l…

Interesting marketing choice that all of the images are of the actual glasses, and none of the images are of what your eyes see.

45 million people died over 4 years in Mao's Great Leap Forward from starvation and execution. 10+ million people died in Stalin's gulags alone. Are you really trying to equate thi…

This added to real GDP being more than 25% higher than it was in 2000, makes this surprising in the opposite way than the article's intent (to me, at least)

Esri is completely bootstrapped, not in a tech hub, and doing north of $1B / year in revs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esri

I meant it in this sort of comparison: if you uproot the house, and drop it in Palo Alto on the same size plot of land it's worth more. If the programer gets up, and moves to San F…

Because demand is less. The wage is still dictated by supply and demand. The supply is probably less, but the demand for that labor is far less. The demand for an engineer in the m…

:0! Thanks. Added.

Went to Harvard, had a bunch of friends and interacted plenty with people at MIT and would be happy to jump on the phone with you and give you a more in depth view of my experience…

Except for the part where this is 37 weeks and not 25 weeks which is 30% of the entire duration of pregnancy. The story is from AOL is at the 5 month mark which means it could be e…

My first comment was directly pertinent to the French model, but same for UK--US survival rates are higher for sub 37 week old babies.

In the UK they give services, and reasses on an ongoing basis, so different than the French. Added some info for under 37 weeks, where the US comes out on top.

The assumption here being that a live birth is as likely in France as it is in the US. What we should be looking for is percentage of survival for infants born sub 25ish weeks or s…

The irony is that if we were to have a single payer or other form of universal healthcare like they do in France, this little girl likely would have died. In France they use "Stati…

My recent search tendencies are very similar to the OP but for an entirely different reason: Google results have gotten really bad for me. I almost never find something I'm looking…

One response is to get offended. Another response is to realize that college is as much a social exercise as it is an academic one. Men expect there to be women on campus, women ex…

I'm not a law expert, but in this case Chevron is the prosecuter. It's a civil case.

If Hacker News has taught me anything, it's that people try to masquerade a lot of conclusions behind a wall of "Science" when in fact the process is neither scientific nor conclus…

I think that when a founder is no longer at the helm, companies have to do more mainstream things when it comes to appealing to wall street.

I don't have any specifics, but after touring the River Rouge plant (Ford) about a month ago, it looks very, very similar (except that the Ford plant is much bigger). Robots everyw…
