The targeted scans and tests that we already do offer surprising little benefit.

Mammogram screening based on randomized-trial all-cause mortality, has not shown a measurable reduction in total deaths.

Randomized colonoscopy screening has not shown a statistically significant all-cause mortality reduction.

Word docs being the medium of exchange created enough of a network effect. I remember trying to use other programs but importing/exporting to Word wasn't perfect.

I bought one for my 2020 Toyota Sienna a couple months ago. The best analogy is that it's like upgrading to Tesla Autopilot. It's great for highway and freeway driving but not city streets.

My classmate from nursing school is an RN at that hospital, I'm not surprised.

Intel's decline was obvious when I worked for them in 2010, their compensation package wasn't competitive with FANG and they consistently missed out or lost their better engineers.

The article is a nicely illustrated analysis of the issues (migration policy) driving the increase.

After a decade as a software engineer I became a nurse. It has its pros and cons. The defining difference is shift work vs project work. In California the pay is similar to tech which is a plus. Also watching all my previous teammates get laid off during the tech downturns is a motivating factor.

No, if they catch you they'll ban both accounts. They banned a conservative political activist's husband's account preemptively after banning her, https://news.yahoo.com/michelle-malkin-banned-airbnb-attendi...

It's not Republican. In the last presidential election, the county voted 60% Democrat (Pine Bluffs is the largest city and county seat).

International travel. My bank (credit union) and cell phone provider (AT&T) both block non-US access. I also use it to get around Vietnam's blocking of websites e.g. BBC.

Send a death certificate.

Bruce linked to his own opinion piece in Wired.

I tried to register via Google at https://fountaincards.com/register and received a 404.

I doing my part by drawing it in cartoons.

The irony considering YouTube's step up of purging channels with alternative viewpoints.

A more interesting paper is Life Before Earth, https://arxiv.org/abs/1304.3381, analyzing biological complexity and projecting into the past for an origin of 9.7 billion years ago.

A compelling critique that Go's embodiment of the "Worse is better" philosophy from Unix is to its detriment.

Anything but the simplest regexes are tricky to correctly write.

Go 2 will have generics, https://blog.golang.org/generics-next-step

NPV is more sensitive to major than college. A Berkeley liberal arts degree has lower lifetime earnings than a Cal State nursing degree.

How did it affect you romantically?

I'm bearish on Intel. The culture is conservative and unwilling to compete with FANG on pay for employees.

It's OK with CrossOver for Linux. I ended up just using Krita. If you're a heavy Adobe user Chromebooks are underpowered (except the Pixel).

CrossOver has a beta Android version that I use to run IE, Adobe Reader, etc.

  The chances of a girl being offended by being asked out are relatively low in any case;

Girls are not nice to unattractive men.

A significant percentage of people are not financially stable enough to buy a home and pay a monthly mortgage on time for 15-30 years. But they are able to rent.

IQ tests are one of the best-known predictors of performance in any occupation.

This is the end of Urbit.

Everybody at my old company was laid after 50, flexible hours: full-time, part-time, on-call, and working 40 hours a week in a cubicle gets really old.

I'm switching careers from tech to nursing. Being older--mid-thirties--hasn't been an issue. It helps that healthcare has less of an age bias than computing.
