I have a lot of doctor friends who tell me they all use OpenEvidence [1] in their practice. They've done a good job of capturing the doctor market while offering a useful product.
BTW It's a 2019 Dell Inspiron with ~2.8 GHz processor speed and 24 GB memory. It's pretty slow by today's standards. Does your recommendation still hold?
Given how high risk this whole donor thing is, I’m surprised there is very little regulation around this process.
For one, It’s truly bizzare that they don’t regulate the number of kids from a single donor. I also assumed they would have some rigorous screening of genetic disorders such as this one before freely distributing sperm for insemination.
One benefit of blogs that isn't mentioned enough is the opportunity to express unorthodox ideas, and the chance to defend them to form a good thesis.
Diversity of thought is pretty valuable. So is training yourself to think independently, come up with your own premises and learning to build sound arguments, which you also get from writing and discussing ideas.
I think it has something to do with Silicon Valley's obsession with money. To SV-people, billionaires are like gods. They are worshipped and invited to all the events worth going to (meetups, hackathons, etc.). Everyone wants to be like them.
And it seems to me to be a geographical problem too. In NYC, billionaires are like supervillains. Nobody particularly likes them (outside of select finance bros), and people openly express disdain for them and their greed.
I'm going to go against the grain and say that posting on LinkedIn is actually a good idea. It builds your brand and that is valuable.
As cringe as it may be, it puts your name in the working memory of people who might be useful in your career (recruiters, hiring managers, potential collaborators, etc.)
I also think this goes for all the analogous versions of LinkedIn (like Tiktok if you're a creator, or Instagram if you're an artist). Not having a place to show off your work will slow down your growth and progress.
I'm a fairly private person but I've been considering the opportunity cost of it, and I think it's pretty high. Overall +EV: the risks of putting yourself out there are low (i.e. strangers think you're cringe), but the benefits are very high (new jobs/opportunities). I might just start embracing the cringe.
