    you list the team that worked on the game, then you give special thanks to any other teams that made parts that went in, such as the engine if it was a separately developed engine. it's not all that hard.

  8. Re:tech innovation? on Former Intel CEO Rips Medical Research · · Score: 1

    considering the proliferation of viruses in the past 20 years, if the medical industry had mimicked the tech industry the human race would be either dead or fast zombies by now.

  9. Re:Basic Research on Former Intel CEO Rips Medical Research · · Score: 1

    I agree with sofar. I also want to to state some facts:

    - the health care system kills huge number of people, from medical errors & hospital infections, the numbers are publicly available and they are very frightening numbers. This is because medical research didn't improve & doctors don't use technology enough.


    compared to the number of people saved it is miniscule, especially considering that people rarely enter the healt care system unless already sick, thus weak and at a higher predisposition to die in the first place.

    - They use more invasive procedures than necessary, which has huge risks, instead of using technology. I remember one time when I hurt my knee, the doctor wanted to perform a surgery to find out what is wrong, instead of using an MRI, so I refused and waited for the MRI.


    completely untrue, the trend has been towards less and less invasive procedures, they perform heart surgery by poking you in the leg and imaging technology has drastically reduced the need for and use of exploratory surgeries, don't extrapolate your butcher's acts to all doctors.

    - people with diabetes have to poke themselves, sometimes more than once a day, because there is no device that reads their blood sugar level, non incisively, and we are in the 21st century!


    reliably reading levels of anything in the blood requires access to blood, the infection danger from implants far outweigh the benefits of minor discomfort being avoided.

    - The MRI machine came from a Chemist, not an MD and almost all the instruments are made and improved by engineers.


    That would be because doctors are paid to treat sick people, not invent new techniques, generally trying out new things is something people are wary of when the doctor is holding a knife.

    So I agree, engineers, mathematicians, physicists & chemists, should be involved in the system. Compare the speed & success of companies like Intel, Google, etc.. (run mostly by engineers) to companies that do medical research.


    engineers, physicists, chemists and mathematicians ARE involved in medical research.

    If medical research was remotely close to engineering research, we would be seeing much improved health care system, think Star Trek.



    if the human body were anywhere near as simple as newtons three laws we'd be immortal by now.

    Wizard DBZ'd Magic a long time ago, with each expansion massively overpowering existing cards rather than integrating into one cohesive game.
