From direct experience: even in a relatively small (6-10 MDs) group practice, over half the MDs never got the concept of "Toyota Lean" or 5S, meaning they never understood that "this is the way I've always done it" doesn't mean it's anywhere near the safest or fastest way to do it. Then they whine because the EPIC form generated by a couple of their colleagues who DO know how to set up a process isn't exactly what they want to use, or makes them do horrible things like proving there's a nonviral infection before prescribing antibiotics. Yes, Epic's basic setup stinks. But take a bunch of former pre-med weenies who never understood geometry, let alone computers, let alone checklists, and you're doomed.
Just for those who don't mess with image analysis, it's the "Radon Transform," not a 'transformation'. The wikipedia article is long on equations and short on simple application, which is that it's a way to find critical image parameters like lines or edges.

Helicopters and other rotary-wing aircrafts do not takeoff and fly by "pushing air down"
The wrongness is impressively great in this one, Obi-wan.
ALL aircraft attain altitude by pushing air down. Despite what your incompetent 3rd grade book might have claimed, Bernoulli doesn't apply in open systems, the shape of the wing doesn't matter, and if you haven't noticed, planes can fly upside down just fine.
Mark this down as 'Most Uneducated Self-Promoter of the Month" .
Commmercial display manufacturers (e.g. LCD for gasoliine pumps, POS systems, etc.) are very careful to align the output polarization so that it will pass thru polarizing sunglasses, which in turn are carefully aligned to block the glare/scatter from solar irradiance. Try rotating a pair of sunglasses 90 degrees and you'll see how much brighter the thruput is.
Completely missing from the press release - any mention of how fast these can be charged, and how fast they can discharge.
The former is of some interest (!!!) to anyone thinking of using these batteries in a vehicle or portable computing device; the latter matters in some instances where peak power output is needed.
Everyone involved is an asshole. Domain sitters -- assholes. Absurd compensation request -- assholes. GBPackers going for a clearly non-football business -- assholes Microsoft -- say no more. Federal Trademark Law which allows someone to trademark a phrase already in use by others - assholes.
Rome was big, but you should read "1491." Recent (last 15 years) major developments both technical and political in the field of anthropological research in the Americas strongly suggest several larger functioning city states existed long before the Mediterranean regions got going.
This story leads into what could be a bit of interesting neuro-psych research. I know for a fact (Trigger Warning: Anecdotal Evidence Alert) that, even though my alarm clock has been 10 minutes ahead for at least 10 years, I still react to it by behaving as though it were correct time -- even while I consciously understand that it isn't.
I'm willing to (Trigger Warning Two) extrapolate and guess there are other folks like me.
And to allow everyone a chance to say something, we had a "token" that was passed around the table to allow everyone a chance to speak. And considering we had 6-10 people to show up, this worked out surprisingly well.
That only works until someone stops respecting the shell and decides to play "kill the pig" with the fattest person present.
At first I was all Anathem, but then I realized that a telescope that's just looking at the sun is clearly causing a real-life Currents of Space. We better get going on our insterstellar escape vehicles while we stilll have a chance. (and for the #tinfoilhat group, clearly this info is being locked down until the Important People can get away on the first rockets)
I would put geothermal power very high on that list. Even if you're not in, say Iceland or Yellowstone, the temperature difference alone a couple hundred meters down is sufficient to run a heat pump.
Installation cost: significant. Maintenance: roughly same as home furnace systems. Environmental risk - near zero.

The causation could well be the other way around: Psychopaths prefer black coffee.
I think you meant to type "Black coffee prefers psychopaths"
But your neck will grow really long (not to mention hairy), and youâ(TM)ll have a constant, irresistible urge to spit all the time.
Since that describes 95% of /. readers already, there's no downside.
Given that my first name is "Carl," I approve of this discovery.
I do wear hats, but not a green one.
Fill your basement with 1000000 cases of beer now.
Worst-case scenario: you sell at huge profit when the disaster strikes.
Best-case: no need to leave the house for the rest of your life.

Or maybe just the name of my new Alt-Rock band.

electric motors do not produce pollution
Noise pollution is pollution.

that's fowl swoop .... you insensitive cloud.
"If you can't tell the difference, does it matter?"
I mean, other than the ability of a bot to call 1E6 people simultaneously.

And yet I'm the first to point out that these readings (obviously false) are planted by the sophons?
That's a code violation in most neighborhoods. You must live in Nevada.
For a rather unusual definition of the word "most." You must live in a HOA. Most, mathematically speaking, of us do not.

Any way we can get roundup to also kill all the wasps?
That's racist.
Actually, it would be phylumist..
you win the WHOOOOOSHHHH of the month award.

Be interesting to see how long it can keep running up and down...
The answer should be obvious: it will keep running up and down until it runs down.
Many politicians go to great lengths to ensure their words have no meaning
And there's a lady who knows that sometimes words have two meanings
