> And Sally may be providing more housing, but she is also making significantly more income and can do so subsidized by her neighbors. Her housing is also likely to go to higher income residents as it would be new housing in an expensive area - and those residents will have less space and no yard.

That sounds like a completely backwards way of thinking to me. Sally is increasing the community's prosperity (and tax revenue) while consuming a small amount of a limited public resource (land); if her actions mean people are willing to live in a smaller space that's something to encourage, and the opposite being subsidized by her neighbours. Meanwhile Bob is consuming 200 acres and not giving the community much to show for it.

They glance over the fact that aspiration makes the vaccine more painful. If for no more reason then the fact that the needle is in (and can be wobbled around by accident) for longer. With all of the hesitance that there is for vaccination, imagine how much more there would be if this was also known as a painful one.

It was a great age, but your particulars, accentuating being ultra-elite & the drive to be first does not resonate with me or what the priorities I saw were.

0-day scene was always there but seemed like madmen, delusional people. I far more enjoyed queueing for some site with an interesting collection; eventually snagging 1 of 10 connections, each with like 30Kbps bandwidth. Much more interesting to me than getting or sharing the freshest hottest warez. Alas, the modern torrent scene seems largely reverted to 0-day mania, to ratios instead of leech (even in bittorrent lands, alas!), to throw-away uninteresting downloads, instead of the far more interesting to me curated & considered content.

Also, your ftp program of choice is interesting. I'm not sure if it really had any noteable following at the time? I'm trying to pin my timeline down but I feel like things were pretty well underway by the first non-Visual-Basic release, FlashFXP, in June 1998. I mean, like, dude evidently was convinced to re-author his stuff via the much better known (afaik) LeapFTP author... I'd love an inventory of what really was popular at the time, what people would swear by. I'm far from elite, as I've already semi-confessed, but hadn't heard of FlashFXP.

That said, holy shit yes I'd buy a coffee-table book of warez scene aesthetics. The crackers & nfo files & (music) tracker files were great, just awesome.

Of course, most have. But the sad reality today is that those in the risk groups, are vastly overrepresented in the ICU units. Here in Norway, the stats were something like the following:

Around half of those admitted were unvaccinated people in their 50s, the other half vaccinated and in their 80s. The former group was something like 5-7 times more represented. I think 90% of them were overweight or obese.

So, yeah, seems like if you get admitted to the ICU today, you're either a fully vaccinated very old senior citizen, or unvaccinated high-risk individual in your 50s.
I assume you meant mortality rate, not survival rate there.

I don't know anyone who thinks of 'having anxiety' as an out, identifying it as something that's negatively impacting your life is just the first step in making changes to reduce its presence. Furthermore the vast majority of people, with or without mental illness, are happier and more supported with some amount of therapy. If you can get that from your friends/partner alone, great, but often times it's quite beneficial for your relationships to take some of that emotional burden off of those people as well.

I'm quite concerned about the rate of medication being prescribed these days, often as a band-aid fix when people really are in need of serious life/habit changes. But I'm really surprised by the amount of people in this thread talking down on psychology and psychotherapy.
I was under the impression that what made a tree was its woodenness so I was probably more of the target audience, and was impressed by the article.
Roads are a public resource paid for with public money. The idea that you should be able to block housing around you so that you can monopolize a public resource seems disgusting to me - imagine someone wanting to block housing (or public transport) because it would make the nearby publicly-funded pool or art gallery more crowded. (Though I'm sure that does happen).

That works great if you can run PoE everywhere.

Do they have a unifi version that I can plug in to a wall outlet without having to upgrade everything to PoE too?

Unless you have PoE you can't add a unifi AP for $120 USD. And getting into PoE isn't cheap.

There are certain regulations that make it much harder to implement E2E.

The data in a therapy app can be considered part of a clients medical file and the medical file has various compliance regulations affecting it e.g the data has to be accessible for the organisation for 15+ years.

This has created a structure making E2E almost illegal in some healthcare domains as the policy ensures that the client data can be accessible to future therapists and accessible to the organisation under catastrophic scenarios.

Only the app being E2E enabled is half the picture, the regulation has to either change or the compliance to the regulation by the mental health organisation has to be creatively done to ensure a complaint E2E implementation.

This makes it a bigger, costlier problem than making therapy more effective and hence a ton of hesitation as unfortunately you don't 'need' to do it.

The problem with studies like these is you only need to know one person who contradicts the claim to know that it's false as an absolute. And I know several.

In Android apps, that's how it works.

The SDK (recommended for login) is set up by default to collect information and installs handlers for app lifecycle events as soon as the app is installed. The default is to do this without requesting user consent.

A rough summary of the data: (Ad ID, device, locale, phone network, maybe install referrer).

To attribute advert -> install, Facebook ads pass on an encrypted blob containing campaign information to the Play Store, this blob is readable by the app, and is transmitted back to Facebook where it's decrypted.

The world wide infection fatality rate is nowhere near 1 in 50. The CDC estimated the US fatality rate at 0.6% back when hardly anyone was vaccinated, and Americans have worse survival rates than most other countries due to having a relatively old and unhealthy population.

> Except it hasn't been shown yet to be effective against Covid-19 yet. So why would they prescribe it? The irony is you're saying the doctor got it from CNN when antivaxxers have been screaming about ivermectin for months, without any proof it's effective.

Didn't I write that I don't believe it's effective? I'm not sure who you think you're arguing with, here.

The point is, this person made a specific claim -- that the "effective dose" would be so high as to be fatal. That claim is so laughable and baseless in fact that it calls into question the credibility of the entire story. No informed doctor would say such a thing. We simply don't know what the "effective dose" is (if any), but we know what other people are recommending as effective doses, and these are not toxic.

When "doctors" go on QAnon forums on reddit, and post things that sound like re-mixes of CNN headlines while making egregious mistakes of medicine, at the very least it should make you question their objectivity, if not the credibility of the claim.
This technique of using different filters on top of a monochromatic sensor is also used in astrophotography, it helps with image resolution. You want as much pixels per inch as possible so instead of placing multiple narrow band receptors in your sensor you use a single wide band receptor as your pixel and place a filter in front of the camera, for a RGB camera for example you triple the total number of sensors by doing this.
Maybe they don’t on paper, but it sounds like they do in practice.

Who knows if this specific story is true or not, and I'm just a random anonymous user so $0.02 more on the pile, but I have a family member who's been a hospitalist for 40 years...

Their experience basically mirrors this up until the assault. According to them, they've never had so many patients and family members fight them for every single decision they make -- they're bringing in all these ridiculous printouts about "give me these vitamins and steroids on this schedule" and of course they want HCQ and IVM still. None of them will accept responsibility for not being vaccinated, they blame the medical staff when they don't get better like they think they should, they all see intubation as the step that kills their loved ones instead of a last chance to save them.. it's enough that my family member is retiring rather than deal with it any more.

My family member works at a small hospital in the Midwest and more than one patient has accused them of "working with Dr. Fauci" to prolong the pandemic. Just complete nutball bullshit.

All of the quacks promoting these horrible "cures" while convincing millions of people to not get vaccinated should lose their licenses. I doubt there will ever be any consequences for the non-credentialed talking heads doing the same but man have they inflicted a massive amount of suffering on their viewers. I hope the culture war was worth the weight on their consciences.
Probably more because of the venom. Even a small spider can deliver a fatal bite, especially when you don't have modern medical care.
The old drive to eat anything meets an industry of chemists who spend their lives making the food on the shelves as addictive as possible. It's relatively hard to become morbidly obese without snacking on highly processed food all the time.
Yes, no, and maybe.

It's been a few years since I read through HIPAA. If insurance pays, generally it will be a HIPAA entity. However, a company can be a "hybrid" entity and logically separate it's HIPAA and non-HIPAA services. So, just because a company accepts insurance, doesn't mean all services are HIPAA compliant.

Lastly, I think (but don't quote me on this), there's a way for an insurer to cover something as a "benefit" of sorts without it being tied to HIPAA.

At the end of the day, my understanding is everything is tied back to CMS.

These are controversial cars for sure and the comments here are pretty telling: they are by one comment too slow (when driven legaly), and by another too fast for safety (when driven illegaly).

I have helped a friends son with such a coversion this year: It doesn't take that much really. Just an electronic box that kills the spark coils when the box senses that the drive axel is spinning too fast, and a big plywood box to make the back seat unusable.

Electronic conversions where made simpler to put them more in line with the EU moped car class (except those can do 20 km more per hour).

I think one recent trend is that these cars are not primarily a "out in the sticks"-thing any more: Most new conversions are done by (small) town kids, who drive around in the town, not out on the dirt roads.

Modding my XBOX using a chip my friend was forced to sell me because it got his dad banned from XBOX Live was the best thing that ever happened to me. The first SCMs I ever learned were CVS and SVN in order to mildly tweak and compile my first ever program, XBMC.

Tech debt isn’t a thing.

I mean it is because it’s a thing that engineers worry about mainly because of ego and pride. I know that’s triggering but let me explain…

As humans we all have ego and want our work to be important which is why tech debt is important to engineers who have a myopic view of their value and what businesses can actually bear.

- I have seen companies with loads of tech debt lose 60% of their engineering staff in a year with no impact to business.

- I have seen companies with loads of tech debt cause production deployment slow to a snails pace AND still have rapid consumer growth.

Engineering is important when it’s important but once product-market fit and a great moat has been achieved that value diminishes considerably.

That's a refreshing success story, thanks for sharing.

I suspect for some people they just gained a little weight cumulatively over time due to a slightly fattening eating habit, and for those it's probably not that big an ask to change/fix.

But for many of the overweight/obese people I know, their eating is a straight up dysfunctional drug abuse-style addiction. Predictably it's as difficult to change these behaviors as it is to get a drug addict to quit their drug of choice.

Well, I thought this was a fascinating and well-written article.

p.s. I learnt not long ago that there's no such 'thing' as an antelope:

"The term antelope is used to refer to many species of even-toed ruminant that are indigenous to various regions in Africa and Eurasia. Antelope comprise a wastebasket taxon (miscellaneous group) within the family Bovidae, encompassing all Old World ruminants that are not bovines, caprines, deer, or giraffes."

Consider the extremal point: If 100% of people are vaccinated, then all cases are breakthrough cases, and 0% of cases will be in unvaccinated people. At some point, the raw count of breakthrough cases crosses over and exceeds the raw count of unvaccinated cases. This doesn't mean the vaccine is ineffective, of course!

What's the TCO on using MREs for disaster prep?

Plus, those foods are easier to work into a conventional meal than MREs. Is there some advantage of MREs I'm missing?

Privacy is the most obvious concern that comes to mind with apps like these, but I feel like there are potentially even bigger problems.

Companies are shielded from a significant amount of liability by using apps. If a company positions itself such that its mental health practitioners and patients are both users, then Section 230 of the CDA shields the app owners from almost all liability for what happens on their app. If, for example, and doctor commits malpractice or otherwise does something illegal, the company that runs the app has absolutely no legal obligation to do anything about it as they have no liability when it comes to how users use their service. This has had some pretty horrifying results in the US, and courts all the way up the the Supreme Court[1] have confirmed that, as per the CDA, operators of interactive computer services are shielded from liability for user content and actions, even if those computer services are knowingly used for fraud and assault[1].

Also, these app-based marketplaces further commodify the mental health profession. Look at any app-based marketplace or employer. Is quality what comes to mind? To me, what I see is a race to the bottom in terms of quality and compensation to sellers or workers. I think a Wish.com, but for psychiatrists, will become exactly that. Whoever owns the apps will make a lot of money, though.
