I’ve had a lot of dealing with the folks at TACC in my day job, and their work is pretty amazing. Add in a Top10 supercomputer and you have something pretty impressive.
> Because of downvotes? That's probably just because you brought partisan politics into the discussion.
Wut? Mentioning a politician’s name isn’t partisan politics. He said nothing about the politics of Cruz, he compared the Senator shifting blame onto his kids with this CEO blaming an intern. Don’t be like that.
Seriously. Blaming the intern is a bad look, but here it reinforces the idea that they don’t even understand what was wrong. The fact that it leaked is only relevant is that it shows 1) how bad their password is and 2) how deficient their process is for dealing with (let’s face it, inevitable) leaks.
The headline doesn’t accurately capture the substance of the article. The article does say it doesn’t find evidence for “mass hysterectomies”, but it does say that a review of medical records indicated that several women had procedures performed on them without informed consent and without any justification. The most salacious of the allegations might not be true, but it’s clear that the behavior of the medical personnel here is ethically beyond the pale.
It has nothing to do with opinions, and it has nothing to do with ideology, except insofar as these two doctors were motivated by their ideology to profoundly misunderstand or misrepresent statistical sampling.
It’s not one side thinks this, the other side thinks that, it’s that their video is factually wrong, and in being wrong encourages dangerous behavior.
I’ll put in a vote for Wizard: the life and times of Nikola Tesla. I knew very little other than “Tesla == weird genius”, and the book gave me a much deeper view of his work, from trying to run power through the ground to building drone boats.
