"For moderate or worse DR, the majority decision of ophthalmologists had a sensitivity of 0.838 and specificity of 0.981"

Note that this is "majority decision" of multiple ophthalmologists, which is going to be better than the average ophthalmologist's single diagnosis.

I do SEO for lawyers, mostly Family Law. I can tell you SEO works as in: Proven Measured Positive ROI, to the point I wish I was allowed to own a law firm. One thing I would say though is SEO should be one part of your marketing strategy but not all of it. You should have a diversified approach.

Edit:
Let me offer a different way to look at it.

Does having a well organized website help turn visitors into clients? Yes. Well that's SEO, a well organized website.

Does having useful and well written information about the services and products you offer, or you industry, help your business? Yes. Well that's SEO too.

Can sharing your knowledge online across different relevant forums help you grow your brand and business? Yes. Well that's SEO as well.

It is just that people who do not know SEO think it is things such as keywords and metatags and url structure, but everything above and more is SEO. And all these things work to your advantage, therefore SEO works.

What do you mean by 'modern' here? Modern seems to look worse to me: floating elements that prevent zooming in on mobile, auto playing videos, like/share buttons everywhere, ethereal (as opposed to permanent) content, things that only load as you scroll down (so it feels slower), ...

Did you mean something else by modern, if so I'm curious what :)
Corporations may be groups of people but they don't get treated like people. There's no corporate death penalty for companies that end up killing people. There's no corporate jail to remove companies that can't behave out of society for a set amount of time. There's fines that seem to never be greater than the profit the companies earn from breaking the law and it just becomes a cost of business.

If they're going to be treated like people then go all the way, but until then they need to be regulated to prevent the worst of their excesses that have been played out again and again

Source on domain registries thinking that WHOIS is necessary. It's a cost center, not a profit center, and some of us would rather not have to do it.

And no, that info would not be out there, and certainly not in such an easily discoverable format, without WHOIS. There's plenty of incoming spam I've received, both physical mail, email, and phone calls, that can be solely attributed to registering a new domain name with publicly visible info in WHOIS. Had that information not been public, I would not have gotten that spam, full stop.

Take generous notes. With practice, you'll develop your own _language_ for taking notes. Personally, for me, the act of writing down—or typing if that works better for you—is almost as if reading the content twice, which in some sense it is. I go back to my notes every now and then. After years of doing it, I've learned to subconsciously devise an index of my own which is useful for me to remember a gist of what I learned, and also lets me figure out where to go look for if I need a deeper look into it.

Like other comments have mentioned, applying what you learn is also important for recollecting information after any reasonable period. If something's not used by at a later point, is there really a point to remember it? Of course, there's the joy of remembering things just for the sake of it which I'm not discounting. But party trick trivia for some reason has always lasted longer in memory than essentials :-) beats me as to why.

that's an inadequate rebuttal built on an idealization of free markets (we should strive for fair markets, not free-for-all markets).

of course competition for governments lay in ideas, thoughts, policies, and actions, not markets. in various forms of democracy, politicians vie for our votes, and that forms a web of constraints against greedy self-interest. besides, there are many goverments, and many levels of governments, all jostling with each other for the title of "best".

there's no need to revere free markets and abhor goverments (we should be vigilant of both). economic and political arenas are but two facets of our complex societies.
Putting aside the external politics, its hard for govt employees to take on these sort of tasks. The reason I say this is because of how promotions work for govies. Its much easier to get promoted if you deliver a new system than if you were just doing ops & maintenance on a system you didn't have a hand in building. Sure, there are going to be some that will do the work but its definitely an institutional priorities issue.

I didn't downvote you, fyi. You're right that longjump()... is on the POSIX async-signal-safe list [0]. And I/O to sockets using system calls like sendmsg(2), is also permitted in async signal handlers because those are also on the list of async-signal-safe functions.

But it's still the case that the best thing to do (in 99% of cases) is to "self-pipe". If you don't have an event loop, then maybe you want to do something else, but it can get hairy right quick, and I'd much rather give advice most programmers can follow that will keep them out of trouble.

My method:

When I go to the grocery store checkout, I put groceries on the belt first. Then everything else. This ensures the top N items in the receipt are groceries.

When I enter into GnuCash or whatever, I manually enter the non-grocery items (I often combine - so tissue boxes and detergents combined get just one entry in the category of "Supplies"). Once I've entered all non-grocery items, the "rest" is marked as groceries.

Another hack: If I don't buy anything other than groceries from a grocery store, I just don't keep the receipt. When I reconcile with my credit card, all entries where I don't have the receipt are groceries. I do the same with gas stations, etc.

Still a pain, though. I won't deny that.

As a founder of another company in this field, let me start by saying that this approval is a big deal. Kudos to IDx. This is the very first time FDA has approved a fully automated CADx (computer aided diagnosis) device. Eyenuk is also on it's way to an FDA approval and it is a lot of work conducting the prospective clinical trials.

There are some misconceptions on the thread, so let me help clear them up. A screening test is indicated on an annual basis for anyone with diabetes who does NOT have visual symptoms. Diabetic retinopathy (DR) progresses without any symptoms and is preventable if detected early, but despite its preventable nature, DR is the leading cause of blindness in working-age adults even in the developed world.

The test is for screening rather than providing a full diagnosis and is not intended to replace a dilated ophthalmologist examination. You don't need a specialist to screen, but you need a specialist to diagnose and treat. Sensitivity implies the percentage of times the test is able to correctly identify the presence of more than mild diabetic retinopathy (in this case, 87.4 percent of the time) and specificity is the percentage of times the test was able to correctly identify those patients who did not have more than mild diabetic retinopathy (in this case, 89.5 percent of the time). Note that neither sensitivity nor specificity implies accuracy. The sensitivity and specificity generally compare well to that achieved by humans.

So to you, I tell you that the tax code for the US is significantly bigger than the tax return a private individual like yourself files yearly [0].

Tax liabilities should be a simple event and should not require a tax professional and other accounting tricks to lessen the burden. In the current environment, those who pay top dollar for tax lawyers and accountants are able to maximize their taxes. The small business and individual is left a higher regulatory burden and are forced to eat the costs.

A regular person should be able to properly pay taxes in a quick, clear and efficient manner. It shouldn’t require a professional who’s job it is to deal with the gross mismanagement of government.

I think the generation algorithm is based on Purrlin noise.
When it comes to these things, I remember when I was younger, how "metal" always was an interesting study object. I would have to decide myself which of it was "artsy" and which of it was just "for the masses", and the further back you go, the more you find that it's not mutually exclusive. E.g. we're not going to argue over the Beatles, Pink Floyd or Iron Maiden.

I listen to various music these days, but I waste "comparably little" time in algorithmic maybe land. As opposed to the constant consumption pressure some people expose themselves with ... whatever the hell that camera does between watching women change.
Writing to a pipe is not a problem! Make it non-blocking and ignore EAGAIN. The point is to wake the event loop, and if the pipe is full then the event loop will wake eventually -- the event loop has fallen behind, it might yet catch up. If you think it won't, then _exit() instead on EAGAIN when writing to the pipe.

I always use this analogy: how/have hammers in the classroom benefited education. Once we divorce ourselves from the baggage of wanting to "prepare kids of the future" we can be more objective.

None of my English teachers have brought a hammer into the classroom. The Physics/science teachers need one of those 2 meter cartoon rubber hammers for some demonstrations. The shop class needs 40 different types of hammers, and 6 of them there is enough for each student to have one. The art class needs a couple hammers, and once in a while the teacher will borrow a complete set from the shop classroom. You can continue the logic for other areas.

Now that have set our mind right, what about computers. There are a number of places where computers are useful in school, but only rarely is it because they are a computer. In English class you need a word processor - there is no particular reason a dedicated word processor only machine wouldn't work just as well if a modern one existed. Likewise in all other classes, the important part isn't the computer, the important part is the software the computer is running.
Alright, let me fanboy a little bit about some more of Stephane's work (owner of that website)[1].

If you like Purrli, I'm sure that you will love his https://mynoise.net/ which is the ultimate noise generator out there. It allows you to choose from a huge repertoire of customizable soundscapes. There's a cat noise generator, but there's also rain, fire, plane noises, Japanese gardens, didgeridoo, sled dogs, spaceship engines, etc.

There's even a subreddit where people mix up some of the soundscapes together to create amazing results: https://www.reddit.com/r/MyNoise/

I use his websites daily, couldn't work without some quality background noise. You can set the soundscape to "animate" and your ears won't get tired of the sound.

>> It's the same as advocating for more women and minorities in industry; white men lose.

> With lines like that I'm sure you'll make lots of friends here. /s

You stopped reading at that sentence apparently. I was using it as a descriptive parallel and it does happen that when we protect a new group, another loses. This is something economists themselves have pointed at throughout history, it's something James Madison wrote about when he wrote the Constitution (government should protect the rich from the poor; picking a class to favor, is how humans do if they think it'll win them favor.)

Ya'll are memorizing economic models, but not the human stories that exist as an outcome of them. We've concentrated wealth like this before. It's not new. Economics are not physics. It's ephemeral nonsense that doesn't exist without human writing them down. Someone "pulled out" economics as a description of material trade, then decided they could use it to convince government to pass favorable rules.

Advocating for a level playing field would be like universal healthcare, and not being forced trade away to the rich elite our creative endeavors for basic survival.

You're peddling disingenuous political correctness that ignores physical reality.

I can second Plaid. I use it with a read-only account on my bank, and it works great. I have a daily cron that grabs the data and pulls it into a database on my home network.

It's free (since I only have one use -- me), which is great.
Sure, do you have a specific type of industry in mind?

In my experience, it's brand new or still relatively young companies that SEO is often not great for. It might be a great thing to engage in in the future for them, but early stage companies strapped for resources need to be more focused on building out an actual brand rather than on ranking page 1 against competitors who may be spending 10-100x on marketing than them and have been around for years.

This is not completely correct. Sensitivity (87% in this case) is not same as accuracy, nor is specificity (89.5% in this case) same as true negative rate.

Sensitivity generally gives an indication of safety of a medical device, and specificity gives a general indication of effectiveness.
