I agree with that easy statement. But you have to make decisions, even when there is no science at all.

What is your estimate of the right control group size should be, for such a study?

I am learning from that study that, on 494 patients, they found no clear cut link between exercise and dementia evolution. Are you saying there is a clear cut one?

Maybe there is a link, but if it was very significant, hopefully the study would have detected a correlation.

My bottom-line for my life: don't focus on pushing physical exercise if your loved one has dementia, there is no clear cut link detected today. It is interesting as for some, their "intuition" may make them believe there is one.

Please correct which part of my reasoning is wrong here. I am talking about real life, not a conversation at a bar.

Except if you're in a family with a sick parent and you wonder whether you should encourage more exercise or not. Much more important than bar room banter.

Thought experiment: it may be interesting for a corporation to insert a fairly crazy NCA rule just to see how the applicant reacts.

Every now and then there are some crazy stuff happening in big organizations, and you probably want someone who is able to call those out, politely but firmly, rather than pushing them under the rug.

"Westminster is at least the fourth college site bought by Chinese interests since 2015."

Pretty much one per year. Let's keep looking at it, but probably nowhere as near as foreign companies investing in China's education system.

it may be a bit unfair to judge them by looking at today's website, which is not in service anymore, even if they have a home page.

"Today, Foundem’s website is the digital equivalent of a boarded-up house"

Their business is dead, because they were artificially demoted to 4th page in search when Google Product Search was created.

in the article maybe?

"By now the couple had been joined by numerous other complainants, including Expedia, TripAdvisor and Microsoft"

Tim Ferris got to 4 hours per week by working 70+h per week for a long time, then firing his least profitable clients, automating/delegating and giving up about growing his business further.

you'll never get there working 4 hours a week. And you'll never do 4 hours a week if you are passionate about your job, or a rat racer.

Guilty too, but the writing was the main point to me:

"I’m not saying your seat is small, but if it were a haystack, you’d find the needle"

>Since 2014, eight other babies have been born to women who had uterus transplants, all in Sweden

Just to show that single payer system can be good for medical innovation, not just universal healthcare.

This is BtoB, not everything is public info, everything can be negotiated.

There must have been discussions between Tesla and Loblaw, where expected final price, or even guaranteed, has been agreed. possibly with penalties for late delivery. I imagine also reduced upfront payment in exchange for PR: it helps create momentum for Tesla.

what's the part that "just" does not work?

I am starting a new project soon and I played with Sails. I really liked it, except I struggled with the user authentication part.

Also worried that the momentum of the project seems to have slowed down a bit, Mike does a lot but seems a bit lonely... Or?

Just wanted to say good luck!!

I always wanted to start my own thing, thought about many ideas, started a couple just for fun, not full speed, because they were not great ideas.

I was a bit where you are.

Then I met someone with a great idea needing help, and I was ready to jump. I did, it worked. So it's possible, so good luck!!
