For measuring survival my old lab championed the Kaplan-meier estimator for its ability to censor non-cancer causes of death. The 5yr survival can be heavily skewed if patients are dying from secondary causes such as heart attacks, getting hit by a bus, etc. Oftentimes patients with cancer have other serious comorbidities.

All of the cars since late 2014 have autopilot hardware installed. This allows purchasers to activate autopilot after the sale of the vehicle.

A used HP 5890 might be 3k usd but realistically you are looking at 40k for a refurbished unit. That's what I paid for mine. You can never turn off a GC without an elaborate shutdown procedure. They consume a lot of power and require AC to be running. You need to keep a low level of gas flowing all the time.

It's about as far from accessible as one can get. I can't even imagine sample prep and...well, it's just not a viable solution. As a manufacturing principle QC should be performed in process and at the least processed state.

I found this description of a 'typical' supercharger setup:

"The eight bay setup takes a 12kV, 750kVA feed from the utility, steps it down to 480V three phase on site, pushes that into 2000A switchgear which feeds four (one for each pair of bays) SuperCharger units at 480V/200A."

You may be underestimating the power draw of supercharger stations. My model X pulls 200-300Amps of 400V power at a supercharger station with 8-12 stalls.

That is over 80,000watts per stall.

I can't comment on Hillary's character other than she seemed cold when I met her. I do have to say though that oftentimes there are larger strategic decisions to be made. "The united states has no permanent allies or enemies--only interests."

The business pitch is usually "delay evictions now". The cold caller will get a list of properties that have recently gone into foreclosure. They call and offer to delay your eviction by 3-5 months as long as you pay them $400/month. Then they have paralegals file paperwork with the courts to contest the eviction. Basically they're using due process to delay being evicted and instead of paying their landlord they're paying the cold caller. I first saw this scam being run by a group of former drug dealers.

I would complain to the state bar about your legal clinic behaving unethically. The whole thing leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Kind of shocked to hear about this happening at a "legal clinic". I'm familiar with the business structure behind these types of programs and they're invariably seedy characters involved with a paralegal group and lots of cold calling. Clogging up the courts so you can avoid paying rent...shrug

I request work samples from applicants with the same brief that would be given to a task currently facing our internal team. It makes it easy to compare candidates not only to each other but to our internal team. As our internal team has the project fresh in their mind they're aware of the requirements, scope, and limitations of the project. It makes them better able to judge the candidate's work.

Of course we pay them for this work at a predefined rate.

I was specifically referring to the brand name and I, unfortunately, can't speak to the differences with never having seen the bee pollinated honey seen in the article.

I will shed some light on THC infused honey (and edibles in general). Edibles are typically made from the lowest quality part of the plant known as 'trim'. For edibles the typical choice is ethanol for extraction which also extracts and concentrates any pesticides or sulfur used(sulfur burns are used as a pesticide alternative). Then that extract has solvent removed via rotary evaporation and that oil is mixed with honey and packaged in someone's warehouse. You'll often see honey and THC separate into two visible fractions if effort wasn't put into proper formulation.

For the honey in the article the beekeeper is hoping the trichromes(THC containing) of the marijuana plant will be carried and incorporated into the honey. I highly doubt this will work unless there are other instances of pollen products showing up in honey...but it's great marketing.

Amusingly, there is already a popular cannabis-infused honey for sale in California under the brand name 'Honey Pot'.

The onewheel has been for sale for about a year now. Not sure when they shipped their first board but I got my first onewheel in August 2015.

Amusingly, bitpay told me I wasnt eligible to use their services because I vend electronic cigarettes. Too risky for them... not too risky for my cc merchant though.
