Jessica has always been brilliant, even to the absent-minded professor type of behavior. When we dated in high school, she'd get so involved in a deep conversation I'd sometimes have to grab her hand at a curb so she wouldn't walk out in traffic. Our conversations were often in English, French, and Spanish as we were the only two students in school taking all three. I imagine those were easier for her than for me. She got a perfect score on her ACT. She at one point wanted to be a nuclear physicist and I have no doubt she'd have had an impact at University of Chicago. She ended up, to the benefit of the software industry, changing her focus.
Many of her posts are about teaching or communicating issues like this to others. In other words, there is no reason to give a class like this if she doesn’t actually know more than the interns.
The optimization Amazon wanted (and got) was related to CPU cores, not early next-gen chips. I always assumed it was a way to sell more "dedicated cores" per socket. It might be exclusive, but Google, Facebook and enterprises would not be interested unless the overall chip was more powerful.
I think they get messages like this all the time, which is why they think it is funny. So, satire for this specific example, but suggests an increasing level of annoyance from the Y partners when they actually get these messages.
True. Just a happy side effect for the advertising in that example.
Also, I'm not a huge fan of more regulation, but scientific integrity seems to demand the placebo ingredients be disclosed.
From the discussion, it seems clear the doctor-scientists have to think about and carefully consider what to use for the control. A single, simple answer cannot work.
