  1. Re:Maybe doctors don't want to go to jail on Women Die More From Heart Attacks Than Men -- Unless the ER Doc Is Female (scientificamerican.com) · · Score: 1

    Oh, well that spoils my idea. Also now I actually bother to run the scenario, people arriving at an ER with a heart attack will, presumably, usually be either elderly or have weight/heart related issues, so attractive women being uppity probably wouldn't happen that often. They'd most likely also arrive by ambulance, in a collapsed state; so what I'm thinking here now, could be some kind of mother issue perhaps? Male doctors have a harder time fixing up elderly women, to a degree of so many % because they have mother issues?

    If I recall correctly, heart attacks have to be fixed with CPR? Could be the doctors male doctors simply don't want to be accused of indecency in a psychopath-infested feminist world. I think it's better to just leave them to die than risk having touched their chest and getting wrongfully accused. That'll teach them to fuck with the patriarchy.

    If there are rules, the rules can be gamed. Doesn't matter what they are, someone will find a way to game them for their own benefit. That's why Google stinks of ass these days. It has become too big and there are too many players gaming the system for it to function properly, without Google themselves doing manual intervention left and right, further corrupting the system every time they make a change, which in itself only serves to give more rules for the players to game.

    The only way to provide a good search experience is to build a search engine which is not only partial to a certain experience, but openly partial. For example an IT search engine, which is partial to IT sites, but is moreso partial to credible IT sites than random blog posts, and more partial to random blog posts than whatever is on ExpertSexchange and the many clone-sites that exist.

  9. Does this game also teach business people how not to tank morale and destroy future potential by continuously screwing over employees for personal gain or petty selfish ideals? Does it teach that corporate cannibalism is bad? These kinds of topics, I think, are vastly more important to running a business than teaching yet another generation of MBAs how to maximize profit by derailing everything around them in the name of quarterly gains.

    Why go to the effort of writing such a poor explanation when you can just quote Wikipedia?

    The yuan (/jun, -æn/; sign: ¥; Chinese: ; pinyin: yuán; [æn] (About this sound listen)) is the base unit of a number of former and present-day Chinese currencies.

    A yuan (Chinese: ; pinyin: yuán) is also known colloquially as a kuai (Chinese: ; pinyin: kuài; literally: "lump"; originally a lump of silver). One yuan is divided into 10 jiao (Chinese: ; pinyin: jio; literally: "corner") or colloquially mao (Chinese: ; pinyin: máo "feather"). One jiao is divided into 10 fen (Chinese: ; pinyin: fn; literally: "small portion").

    Today, it usually refers to the primary unit of account of the renminbi, the currency of the People's Republic of China.[1] It is also used as a synonym of that currency, especially in international contexts – the ISO 4217 standard code for renminbi is CNY, an abbreviation of "Chinese yuan". (A similar case is the use of the terms sterling to designate British currency and pound for the unit of account.)

    Perhaps https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... applies to more than just technology adaptation? Or perhaps it's the other way around, the diffusion happens the way it does because we are 2.5% thinkers, 13.5% followers, 34% joiners, 34% hey-don't-leave-me-behind'ers and 16% fuck you, I've got my own opinion regardless if it's wrong.

  23. It took 2 billion years to evolve something remotely sentient, then another million years to develop critical thinking, and another 40,000 years to create a civilization capable of talking to the universe. It's likely we're only going to have that capability for a thousand years all together, after which we either become something we can't possibly comprehend at our current level, or we, in our complete ignorance, blow ourselves to kingdom come, and the process starts all over again with another species on another world.

    Given these timeframes, how likely is it another civilization just happens to establish itself at the same time, and develop interstellar communcation abilities at the same time, and that they just happen to be close enough for our limited ability to reach them? And how likely is it that they just happen to be listening when we're broadcasting? And how likely is it they hear us and they happen to want to talk?

    I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out there really aren't anyone else around to talk to, and won't be for many years to come.
