    I think you're both right. The commenter above you is just taking the short view and you're taking the long view. Automation is great for long-term productivity and the supply of b…

    > In the abstract, you get this statement: "The drop in wages depressed the labor supply of men and increased that of women, especially in married couples." Seems to get cause and …

    Are you trolling? You're accusing management of onboarding an H1-B, paying a sign-on bonus, paying relocation expenses and then paying them for 2 months to surreptitiously "pad the…

    You can make any number of arguments why X, Y or Z is bad (or, "considered harmful"). The truth is, if you want to get stuff done, objects often fit the domain well enough and put …

    I'm assuming you're referring to RATHL? RATHL attempted to show a treatment regimen was non-inferior to bleo, and didn't. The results are quite controversial, and bleo remains stan…

    It's genius marketing-- they were guaranteed a "surprising" conclusion that people widely share. edit: The point I'm making, perhaps too tersely based on the below response, is a f…

    Seems like MetaMed tried working on every buzzword in medicine. * Artificial Intelligence and diagnosis (check). * Evidence-based medicine (check). * Personalized medicine for all …

    Think of what this means for voter representation. You just made it much easier for people with computer access to vote, compared to those without who still must trek to the pollin…

    Nope. Docker's value isn't just its software. It's the support built around it, tutorials, familiarity and common usage, Dockerfiles, huge Docker Hub, existing setups relying on it…

    Vagueish advice for a vaguiesh problem-- When presenting issues, I'll almost always fallback on something like this-- 1. Details of the problem with history of other related issues…

    I think most consumers take "savings" to mean "reduction in purchase price." Obviously, (or not so obviously) Tesla's sales-page means something different. But even if you dig into…

    A few things off the cuff as a physician-- the US has dangerously unequal access to care. I suspect most of the "drag" on life expectancy is from patients without access (this is c…

    The linked CNN article is a very poor summary. It doesn't even include a proper citation, and the link to the study isn't directing to the one being discussed!? Come on, CNN. I rec…

    I'm sorry but I have to point out the irony in showing so much disgust about a few lines of code that happen to literally say "I love you."
