Same in Taiwan, you can basically do everything at 7/11.
milesdyson_phd··on Schools Beat Earlier Plagues With Outdoor Classes
I'm from the US and went to public schools in the midwest. The only rooms I can think of that didn't have windows were: the theatres (read big and small auditoriums), and the science labs. Heck, if you had a class on the first floor they usually had doors on the wall with windows leading outside too.
milesdyson_phd··on MSU Vice President of research & innovation Steve Hsu has been forced to resign
I think ultimately a university cares about its image more than anything. Nuking a tenured professor from a VP position is small potatoes for better optics (no matter the merit of allegations). I think the allegations do have merit at least for someone in an administrative position, not a purely academic one.
milesdyson_phd··on Self-Management of Fatal Familial Insomnia: Case Report (2006)
It's not a prion per se, but it's a genetic mutation affecting PRNP (prion protein).
milesdyson_phd··on Away Fires CEO Steph Korey After Months-Long Search for Her Replacement
I wonder if they were bringing the Lululemon exec in for another c suite position, then the story leaked (or was leaked on purpose to depose her) and they already had the right person coming in already. I could see that fitting either narrative not that it really matters.

There’s five sets of pitot tubes on the 737...

There's a statue of him here in Detroit
milesdyson_phd··on Oberlin College case shows how universities are losing their way
Leonard French had a good live stream yesterday going through everything too. Lawful Masses on YouTube for those interested.
milesdyson_phd··on I didn't get paid, so I open-sourced my client’s project
So essentially retainer billing.
milesdyson_phd··on The charm of buying old workstation hardware on the cheap
So far no heat issues with the stock heat sink (2600).
milesdyson_phd··on Peloton Confidentially Files Statement for Proposed IPO
I picked up a lightly used one from my friend when he was moving across the country (<50% retail). I spin 3-4 times a week and so far (12 weeks in) have been loving it. The bike is nice, but it’s really the instructors that seal the deal imo. My girlfriend has also been using it a lot and she hates working out, so that’s a big plus for her. I know that now I wouldn’t hesitate at the price because I like it so much (will probably need to pick a new one up or at least a new screen as my current one is a gen 1. I assume at some point that might start to be a problem but so far so good)
milesdyson_phd··on The charm of buying old workstation hardware on the cheap
Oh hey, I have an old z420 that I picked up off of ebay that I use as a hypervisor. It had running for a few years and worked great for what I was using it for. I replaced it earlier this year with a mini-itx ryzen based system, because I didn't want the tower in my office anymore.
milesdyson_phd··on An update on Sunday’s service disruption
I think your time zones are mixed up, but yeah that would make sense. But in the end the people who want/need to know will find it anyway.
milesdyson_phd··on I turned my interview task for Google into a startup
The last take home thing I did, I put it up on GitHub with an MIT license (didn’t sign any NDAs/etc). I figured if there was a chance they would actually use it, might as well open source it for everyone.
milesdyson_phd··on Consumer Protection Bureau Aims to Roll Back Rules for Payday Lending
They are ultra short term loans, so the rate is going to be outrageous when expressed as an APR...
milesdyson_phd··on Show HN: I taught my little brother JS, and he made this videogame in a week
Nice job, just an FYI it looks like movement speed is tied to refresh rate. I was having a difficult time at 144hz but lowering to 60hz made it way more manageable.
milesdyson_phd··on FDA to Ban Juul, Flavored E-Cigarettes If Industry Doesn't Change
Probably on piles of money.
milesdyson_phd··on Georgia Rancher Wins Compensation for Bald Eagle Attacks
He was denied benefits through the "Livestock Indemnity Program" run through the Farm Service Administration in the USDA which can compensate livestock producers for "livestock deaths in excess of normal mortality caused by adverse weather or by attacks by animals reintroduced into the wild by the Federal Government."
milesdyson_phd··on Venezuela Breaks Bitcoin Trading Records with 500M Bolivars per Week
someone saw a big number and thought it would make a great headline..
milesdyson_phd··on NYU Makes Tuition Free for All Medical Students
This is all an effort to attract the best applicants, much like Mayo and the Cleveland Clinic med schools.
milesdyson_phd··on ReformedFelonForHire.com – High quality software skills, at a competitive price
I wonder if one issue could be the company's fear that the public/clients/etc might latch onto a very narrow context of this gentleman's history like: "x employs sex offenders." It's not fair but when you have other candidates that don't have this stigma why would they even try?

Jacked my back button as well..
milesdyson_phd··on Grindr Shares Personal Information With Third-Parties
You aren't bound by HIPAA just because a user hands over health related information. You will however fall under it if you are sharing that data with a covered entity..
milesdyson_phd··on Au Revoir
Ideas get you to the 50 yard line, execution gets you into the end zone.
milesdyson_phd··on 23andMe Granted FDA Authorization for Genetic Test on Cancer Risk
You bring up a great point. I think a lot of people, not just surgeons, would trust their own experience and intuition over AI (at least initially). Not to mention the whole human characteristic of resisting pretty much any sort of change (even if it's for the better).

I think AI in medicine can be great, especially if you start using it to augment a physician by keeping them up to date with the most recent research/papers/literature on a given topic.

milesdyson_phd··on Doctors, Revolt
5 minutes lol. From a surgery perspective: Getting a consult as an intern on a patient with a big case file is like (at least) 30 minutes of reading notes, then you talk with the patient, then you talk with your senior, then you and the senior go talk to the patient, then the senior talks to the attending (depending). Sign out (patient hand off) can take a while depending on the size of the list but I don't know any other interns that don't stalk the charts before they are about to come in so it's usually just a quick brief on each patient and what therapies are going on. Did I mention you do sign out (on trauma) after having been at the hospital for 24+ (sometimes 30 depending on attending) hours? Things can and do still get missed.
milesdyson_phd··on FlightSimLabs Alleged Malware Analysis
Oh shit, I literally just bought one of their products for P3D...

Edit: FSLabs_A320X_P3D_v2.0.1.215.exe also has it present

It's the same in lacrosse.
milesdyson_phd··on The Problem of Doctors’ Salaries
Rules in place by the ACGME are laughable, no one respects duty hours and a certain residency program I may or may not have participated in told us to lie about our duty hours so not to get the program in trouble. From my experience the worst offenders tend to be older attendings who do not respect duty hours and will round on your post-call day at noon meaning you have been at the hospital for 30+ hours before you can give sign out.
