This is all very true. I always try to push for customer interviews to be as much about formulating new hypotheses as they are about validating existing hypotheses.

Re:Cannabis pollen dispersal across the United States

I never thought about this. It would be interesting to run mass spec on resin samples from different growers to see the interval of genetic variation
Re:Cannabis pollen dispersal across the United States
on Thursday December 19, 2024 @06:34PM (#42466870)
The fact that cannabis is so genetically unstable is very interesting. The root cause of the problem is that the level of CBD or THC produced by the plant in the resin is a result of polygenic expression— in other words, even if you have two strains of CBD-dominant crop, pollination can still result in increased THC in the next generation of the plant.

I have been doing CGM for 7 months now and the learning has been invaluable. My metrics were never in the danger zone but I feel like I’ve learned so much about how many different factors play into insulin resistance and have managed to build much healthier habits over time.

These kinds of things that are basically substitutes for an IQ test (versus tests that purport to measure a specific type of specific technical aptitude) should be banned for employment screening, IMO. Where do we draw the line?

I have experienced some of these issues myself. I find that it becomes more tolerable (and also more palatable) when I use a blend of natural sugar and artificial sweetener like erythritol or stevia.
Re:Judge blocks JetBlue from acquiring Spirit Airlines
on Wednesday January 17, 2024 @08:46AM (#39027576)
There’s not a lot of room for effective restructuring here — for Spirit it’s more of a revenue problem rather than just a debt service problem. They’d probably end up in Chapter 7 (liquidation) pretty soon after starting Chapter 11 proceedings
Re:Judge blocks JetBlue from acquiring Spirit Airlines
on Wednesday January 17, 2024 @08:37AM (#39027459)
I agree with you even though I think some will view this as a hot take. It is interesting that the US government has historically subsidized both smaller telcos and airlines to fill these types of small gaps where they exist.

True, I’ve heard and read that many pilots prefer the cockpit config over the 737. Boeing needs to just start over.

Honestly, the bigger issue here is that good math teachers in the US are just in short supply. Sometimes I wonder if the way we teach algebra here is flawed, like something pedagogically or conceptually, and good teachers break through that to give students what they need to prepare their students.

I agree. So, I think the question is, how do you effectively implement stewardship and accountability on product matters without having an organization strictly dedicated to it? The author doesn’t give much of a framework here
