Anxiety for me is basically an excess of energy. And I take Trazodone for the sleep, but in my manic phases I generally can’t sleep for more than 6 hours.

At this point, my energy levels are a better indicator of where I am in my cycle than my mood. The drugs generally even that out.

Sure, but it’s important to note that over time both companies have carved out special deals and considerations for larger customers. You can read this for yourself in the news and numerous court proceedings where emails have been released showing the companies having these exact discussions.

It’s a bit contentious but it appears Epic itself tried to get a special deal from Apple [1]. Why would you even bother asking if they don’t negotiate or cut deals with different app vendors? Apple (and maybe Google idk) even changed/lowered pricing for certain app categories because of developer complaints.

Indeed. One of my friends had quite a few patches of gray hair (he was only about 28 at the time), but found that the patches turned their natural color again in a few years after moving to a smaller company and becoming more health-conscious, diet-wise.

Both of these are already the case in many parts of the US. My home state had refunds on plastic/metal/glass containers for ages, and CA (for instance) has a statewide plastic bag fee that I believe passed in a public referendum years ago. This is still the exception both in the US and Europe, from what I can tell.
Under what circumstances did they "explicitly sign-off" on the data sharing, I wonder? There are a lot of times during a hospital visit, when one could be less-than-observant of exactly what he/she is signing.

Yes, we can integrate with existing procurement solutions like SAP or Oracle as we are complementary to them.

You won't need that much source code to verify their claims.

Their central improvement is that they limit the generation of high frequencies by ReLU through a upsample-ReLU-filter-downsample sequence.

Their theoretical section explains quite well why high frequencies can be proven mathematically to cause issues. And their practical implementation using filters to cut those off is very straightforward.

If someone tells you "The microphone recording had 50Hz noise so I used a filter to remove it", that's pretty much good enough for someone with experience in the field to replicate their results. This is the equivalent in AI. They uncovered a simple basic issue that everyone else overlooked, but once you know it, it seems obvious in retrospect.

Sure, and I certainly would recommend people start with an off-the-shelf solution like google-drive. But that recommendation is based on precisely that - you don't want to need that expertise, nor risk screwing it up. But it's not based on the fact that it's actually pragmatically more reliable (or less ongoing effort) to host on something like google drive.
Given that the Lego patent has expired and there's plenty of "off-brand" sets out there now, the market is free to fill this gap; it just needs a quality producer, because most of the knockoff stuff is just crap in comparison. A big one could be Minecraft, if they were to produce bricks and brick sets. They'd have to stop charging the merchandise premium though.
Eventually people will get fed up with youtube. Peertube is already beginning to become popular and many youtubers are posting there and odesy.

South African Brothers Vanish and So Does $3.6B in Bitcoin
Had the first kid and got quite fast lot's of grey hairs. I was really stressed with having enough time to do my work properly and to handle the daycare deliveries/pickups. The kid got older and needed less of my constant attention, and greying stopped for several years.

Then had the second kid and entered again into this constant not having enough time for anything mode. In the last 2 years I've been getting tons of grey hair, again. This time while I am much older, I can cope with the stress and constant tiredness even worse.

So I am a firm believer of the theory.

Can you elaborate on how to not let a job affect you in this way?

I'm not sure what this means. Universities are big, sprawling things. Even universities known for one thing have a wide range of majors.
For me, it was accepting that my job isn’t my whole identity and finding a place to work that valued work/life balance and actually has a culture of not overworking. On the personal side, going to therapy, actively removing stressful and toxic people from my life, doing as much physical activity as possible (even walking helps me), and having a bottle of benzodiazepines on hand for worst case situations.

A lot of bioplastics turn out not to be so green if you run a full lifecycle analysis.

Appart from that: Plastic has this somewhat unique property that nobody is really held responsible for its emissions, even in places where emissions are regulated. E.g. the chemical companies are usually only considered responsible for the emissions of their plants, while the bulk of emissions happens on landfills or in incinerators. Waste-to-Energy-Incinerators on the other hand are in many places even considered "green" energy, because they say we're only using waste that's already there.
This is exactly why I opposed any sort of leaderboard idea at my previous job. Work can be stressful enough. Let's not make it any more than it needs to be.

I'm stunned. YouTube removed testimonial accounts of families of people currently in Xinjiang concentration camps -- because the speakers showed ID cards of their family member, violating YouTube's harassment policies on personally-identifiable information. That's not speculative inference -- the YT representative flat out *tells* the author:

>"We welcome responsible [sic] efforts to document important human rights cases around the world. We also have policies that do not allow channels to publish Personally Identifiable Information in order to prevent harassment."
I’m glad to see this getting more attention as it seems scary to me as a private citizen who wants my medical data to stay private.

I’m not sure how to defend against this as it seems based on HIPAA and what it allows. Since de-identified data can be legally sold, I think it will.

The theoretical defense I’ve thought up is a class action lawsuit for synthetic breaches. Since these data are deemed de-identified by expert determination [0] and that’s hazy, if I could reidentify myself after de-id, and I didn’t authorize it, then I could be eligible for breach damages for HIPAA violations up to $50k per person [1].

Since these sets have millions of people, likely everyone in the country. And since expert determination can possibly classify an acceptable re-id risk as less than 1%, this could be a million or two people. So a big enough pool to attract big legal investments.

That would increase the cost and risk of doing this to outweigh the benefits. But currently it’s “free money” for any healthcare system that’s kind of impossible for me as a patient to opt out.

I’m wondering what the author’s credentials are, since he writes with great confidence and certainty about how there is only a single correct approach to achieving success.

The reason I’m wondering is because the text makes a number of claims while citing only a handful of examples.

A good point regarding the benefits of specialization can be made, but this particular brand of “do what you love” article filled with bold claims and bold text written by twenty-something self-appointed self-help gurus always rubs me the wrong way.

Depends on what ideological stance is. I knew people whose ideological stance was that Jews rule the world and are dangerous. Including all the consequences including mild "holocaust was basically necessary". Perfectly charming people, super easy to get along with. Of course, unless you insist on claiming that Jews were treated badly and unfairly. When you oppose them about that specific point, they get quite aggressive.

It is easy to get along with people of various ideological positions, as long as you are willing to nod along, regardless of real world consequences of their ideological stances. As long as their opinion is the one ever said out loud.

I think people are usually not paid for how much work they do or how skilled they are. People are paid by how much responsibility they have. If I screw up, and my solution ends up in the final product, my project manager will (and should!) be blamed for it. Because it is his responsibility to make sure the correct decisions are made.

If that means that my project manager gets paid more than I do, but also takes more responsibilities, I'm fine with that.
>2. Have nation-states nationalize it.

I didn't downvote your comment but having governments own the media would increase censorship instead of decrease it. We're not just talking about China CCP censorship but also democratic nations such as UK. See examples of BBC censorship:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_in_the_United_Kingd...

>3. Have the UN internationalize it.

This idea is underspecified because it does not explain implementation of how the video website is funded. This is key because censorship happens by proxy via money. If the implementation is to get governments to collectively chip in to fund a global video website, you will get more censorship -- not less. Politicians like to exercise government's power to censor.

If my eyes could roll in a complete circle they would.

Nobody who is parting out cars (resulting in a decent number of legitimately owned cats lying around to scrap) is bringing in the title because cheap junk often changes hands without a title and if not you gave the title to the junkyard in order for them to take the bare shell without you cutting it up.

And how is the scrap yard supposed to figure out which cat matches which title?

Qantas crew left 'gasping for air' in scary mayday incident
I worked as an engineer for medical appliances and had a lot of contacts with doctors and they all requested this.

It isn't only interesting to collect medical data from patients. That is their data, they might not want to share it, even if that is neglected by a lot of countries with bad leadership.

What would be really helpful on the other hand are projects like this. Not only can doctors get knowledge about exotic conditions by a list of indications, it would also enable general practitioners in regions without quick access to specialists to lend support to their patients. It would be an incredible support for information logistics.

The approach to collect patient data is not a complete waste of time, but you need consent (some countries ignore this) and sensible applications. For research it might be relevant, but for the most part doctors have no problem finding volunteers.

> Our defaults make it difficult to ...

You have one (1) default that does that. Singular. None of your other defaults do that. And, as I've said above, that one (1) default is also useless, because it's one of the first things that need to be disabled in production anyway.

> However if you do add a MongoDB database to a public IP address we strongly encourage you to add a strong password. Better still do not expose your database on the public internet.

Everybody knows this. You aren't adding anything new. Nobody's claiming MongoDB _cannot_ be secured. Everybody knows that it can be. The question, instead, is: why does every user of MongoDB even need to make it secure?!

I doubt you can answer that honestly, but plenty of us suspect we know it anyway: because MongoDB Inc. "cares" a lot more about developer experience, than it does about their data.

It was much more menial and repetitive work than today's programming, more comparable to accounting. Also, programming wasn't in present demand back then. Personal computers were not a thing.

WHO and CDC guidance were murky early on (made even less clear by people actively trying to confuse people). Consider the confusion about whether asymptomatic spread is possible (WHO not effectively communicating the difference between "truly asymptomatic " and presymptomatic), or confusion over whether to use masks (getting translated into "masks don't work" by the game-of-telephone that is social media).

Or consider the controversies over drugs used to fight COVID-19. People advocating their use were physicians -- that makes them experts relative to me. Then other physicians said no, they don't work and are dangerous. They are also experts. Who am I to believe?

This problem goes beyond the pandemic. Doctors of medicine use jargon derived from Greek and Latin both for historic reasons and with the purpose of creating an air of authority. But when someone comes along and usurps that language, it sounds to an uneducated ear like the real thing. That's how we end up with people drinking special water to alter blood pH to prevent cancer. Absurd? Maybe. But if you have letters after your name and I don't, how can I know?
