throwaway4400··on Generating JSON Directly from Postgres
I'm surprised no one has mentioned lock in. It is very difficult to swap out your db if all your business logic is weaved into it.
throwaway4400··on TypeScript at Google (2018)
Yes! Does anyone know what on earth it is doing during this period? It does not appear to be fetching data.

Any corporate is going to make you sign something to receive the cash. The terms would not normally be as strong as an NDA though, otherwise we wouldn't see any bounty reports.
throwaway4400··on Machine learning is booming in medicine, but also facing a credibility crisis
A radiologist would have insurance in place for malpractice that indemnifies her/him. So your suggestion that a radiologist would be motivated to use AI to reduce this risk does not seem applicable to me. The idea to run AI alongside the human tool seems to be the current default suggestion these days, now that we have collectively realised that AI cannot do anything serious on its own. Pair it up with a human and the two can work together, with some handholding. But it is a hard sell, the software is now just duplicating a capability, and all of the issues that raises of potentially having two answers to one question. As a radiologist business, you would have to dedicate manpower to investigating when the AI has a different answer. Honestly, if I had a radiology practice, considering the points above, my answer would be no.

I didn't see that information on the tour screenshot. If it is indeed the "same confusion", then that points to a communication problem.

Is the three finger swipe a "gesture"? I'm guessing a decent amount of older hardware does not recognise a three finger swipe. So workspace browsing would be broken ootb for these users.
throwaway4400··on Category Theory: Orders
Could I suggest you limit your use of text in parentheses? Something is either worth saying or it isn't. Truly parenthetic material should be quite rare.
