The proportion of trials that remains unpublished is hard to estimate but may be as much as half. Negative results are naturally less likely to be published than positive ones — skewing the whole evidence base underlying medical practice.
If you're truly going to get to zero delivery time, you've got to go even further than that. You have to make it possible for customers to have access to products on demand. What if large retailers such as Amazon begin to 3-D print products on demand for consumers, literally letting consumers have access to products the moment they want to order them?
Throughout the major U.S. tech hubs, whether Silicon Valley or Seattle, Boston or Austin, Tex., software companies are discovering that liberal arts thinking makes them stronger. "Creativity can't be programmed."
Report commissioned by 34 hedge funds says government had been ‘massively overspending on education’ despite spending only 79% of US average per pupil.
Show me a large media company working online, and I’ll show you a large media company that is already trying as hard as it can to publish to “some combination” of channels, either intentionally, as a plan, or just because, in each instance, the post that contains more—or all—of the story it refers to seems like it will share better.
Of the 46 students in the top 5% of the class, only one expressed an interest in banking.
Even if it’s fine from an antitrust perspective, for a brand built on neutrality, are the returns to favoring your own verticals really worth it?
Researchers have found that they could plug their laptop into a network cable behind a Model S’ driver’s-side dashboard, start the car with a software command, and drive it. They could also plant a remote-access Trojan on the Model S’ network while they had physical access, then later remotely cut its engine while someone else was driving.
The more the show rubbed the media’s nose in their crap, so to speak, the more of a darling the show seemed to become.
The FCC's reclassification of broadband providers as common carriers allows customers to complain that general business practices are “unjust” or “unreasonable," making it a judgment call as to whether many of the early complaints are really violations.
The driving force behind outsourcing and offshoring is to find the cheapest IT talent on the planet. The people hired to do this work usually do not have a college education. They are young and have no experience. They are paid $7 to $15 an hour. The background and qualification checks are superficial at best
A huge amount of urban traffic comes from cars circling for available parking. Robot fleets could change all that.
Twitter does not crack the type of mammoth, earth-shattering problems Page thinks Google should take on, according to multiple people familiar with the CEO’s thinking.

It’s hard to conceive that it might be steering us in the wrong direction.”

Both companies hope the new features will keep their users loyal and lock them into related services that make money. For Apple, that means more returning customers for its iPhones. For Google, it means more engaged users for its advertisers.
These conflicts aren’t necessarily about what Uber or Airbnb are today. They are about what these companies are under pressure to become. In San Francisco, Lyft and Uber don’t share data with the city that would help it understand whether trips are merely substituting for MUNI or BART rides.
