    A good question worth considering, IMO. Take the Susan G. Komen Foundation as a present-day example of a foundation that, although founded with a righteous cause in mind, has (in s…

    You've not refuted the article so much as pointed out a corner case the author didn't address in which ML is a good fit. Your example, using ML to perform the medical coding functi…

    A bit like Captain Renault proclaiming his shock at finding gambling in Rick's cafe.

    I wish the first thread I saw was this enthusiastic about Brother. I've got an HP delivering today because it sounded like the Linux driver support was more solid -- didn't see a m…

    If the hot startup trend suddenly became lean hospital systems, you'd see all sorts of articles about the ideal attending-to-resident physician ratio.

    Worth noting that the author makes a significant claim without any citation: > That vaping works as a way to quit smoking... seems clear. Studies have been fairly limited so far, g…

    What they didn't report is the corresponding decrease in labor costs. If they save 1M in labor to lose 850K, they're still ahead.

    If this had launched with Slack support two months ago, I'd have saved a few days development time. Interested to see the pace of partner adoption.

    I would argue that even the ideal medical system would likely produce the same outcomes experienced by the author of the parent post. In our present stage of scientific and technol…

    This is how you know it was written by an engineer. The executive summary is at the bottom.

    Forgive me for being blunt, but that's just how modern medicine works. No one has the Star Trek tricorder that can scan your body, read your genome, and detect a quantum fluctuatio…

    As someone with a basic understanding of thermodynamics, I'm highly offended by the assertion that their cooling technology is "energy free".

    I like using ACLs for my coarse-grained "this subnet is allowed to talk to this subnet" rules, and security groups for everything finer-grained. Maybe I'm over-cautious, but I don'…
