You're being overly dismissive. There's quite clearly a substantial amount of research here, and in a cursory reading I detected no explicitly bombastic claims, which are usually indicative of crankwork.
Sure, it's not peer-reviewed, and his other articles might look quite loony, but he does highlight some anthropological discrepancies in this piece. Not everyone can have their articles peer-reviewed.
I'd like to remark that there's a similar trend that seems to go on in high schools and with college admissions. By all accounts, I've heard that it's not too difficult to attain perfect high-school grades (save for some of the very competitive high schools), whereas that's usually a serious achievement in European schools. There's a similar comparison for the AP vs. IB examinations.
That's amazing. I really hope that more research is done in (stem) cells. It shows outstanding promise, and it seems safe to assume that this is just the start for a technique of treatments that revolutionizes the way we view and treat illness.
Edit: The article did not mention stem cells, but I think stem cells will inevitably be discussed in this thread as they're a very closely related topic, hence the mention.
As with most applications, it could be a lot smaller. But storage is so cheap and abundant that size is no longer really a constraint. Consequently, engineering for size is no longer a priority.
Incredible Accuracy? You mean retrospectively fitting a logistic model to something known to grow logistically? I'm not impressed, especially not by retrospective modelling.
Your package-sorting and medical-record facility examples strike me as pure gold. I wasn't sold at first, but you seem like a great team leader. As another person wrote, you seem to really understand the essence of effective leadership. This sounds like a really good approach.
One question: have you ever had subordinates/employees for whom your approach didn't work?
Great stuff. Beautiful feeling to the site, though the 'Train' section could do with an explanation as to what you're meant to do on the exercises ('tactics'). I'm tempted to suggest integrating this with en.lichess.org, a similarly awesome chess-resource.
Well, so, what makes Nigel Richards the best Scrabble Player on Earth? The article does not even answer its own leading question, which is enormously disappointing (though it is otherwise interesting). There are a couple humorous quotations, and literally two or three sentences that could be interpreted as conjecture as to why Nigel Richards is the best player by such a phenomenally large margin: some loose statements about knowing relevant probabilities.
This article was a perfectly interesting read about how Richards utterly dominates Scrabble, but unfortunately plagued by a totally misleading headline: I was expecting an answer.
Why should the author try to fulfill some sort of gender-quota? The purpose of the article is clearly to collate the top 10 single-founder startups, rather than the top 5 male and top 5 female single-founder startups, etc.
Honestly, I would just write my own HTML/CSS and buy hosting on a server somewhere. This is cheap, and gives you a great deal of control, while also honing your web development skills. (And doing it yourself feels good!)
