Exactly. Your health is too important to be left to the doctors.
I think you bring fair criticisms but it's a tough thing to cater a broadcast to audiences that may not have any idea what the game is even about and also an audience that knows the game intimately.

Football (both american and european) and baseball show well I think because the game is on the surface simple. People are also usually exposed to it during school. The rules can get complex and rare rules (please do not do a balk) sometimes involve game downtime and the broadcast can use the opportunity to show replays and explain rules.

Video games have a harder time of this just due to the media. I know a lot about Overwatch, but when I watch LoL broadcasts they're similarly unwatchable, I have no idea what's going on.
Yeah, this particular myth is common in many EU countries as well. Apart from the minimal amount reportedly saved (30 GBP per annum in real currency is 37 EUR/USD per year, less than 10 cents a day), it does not seem to be particularly true.

I measured this (at the wall socket) over the years, and my findings are below.

For battery-powered devices, disconnecting the charger once the battery is full does nothing, other than to cause the battery to be discharged more rapidly than it would be otherwise. For battery health, it's best (if possible) to set a 'start recharging' threshold at 90% or so, but that's mostly a device-lifetime issue, not a power consumption issue.

For 'mains-powered' devices with a 'soft power-off', like many modern coffee machines, microwaves, etc. etc., the power draw in 'idle' mode is truly insignificant. You may have an atypical (broken?) device, but other than avoiding some transistor whine, you truly don't gain anything by powering these off. For devices like printers, monitors and TVs, I've never seen any 'idle' power consumption that was even noticeable.

Some 'always-on' devices do have significant power requirements. Like: your set-top box (since it needs to records the programs you scheduled), your modem and/or media converter, and your fridge. With these: it's always measure, inquire and replace as needed/possible.

For me, my fridge is as efficient as it gets, the fiber-to-Ethernet box from my ISP draws minimal power anyway and my Mikrotik router and APs are pretty power-efficient as well (like, 4 hours runtime on a tiny UPS). The rest goes mostly to my heat pump (which also powers my boiler), and in the summer months, this always offset by my solar panels, unless cooling requirements get way out of hand.
Disney is a mega-corp. Florida is a state. Politics are involved in the current situation. Politics were very involved in the prior situation in which Disney received special treatment. You can read the law, the case law and the contract agreements all you want but the error bars on "which way is this gonna go" are massive.

Anyone saying anything with any sort of certainty is not to be taken seriously.
More or less every time I go to the optometrist or the dentist I get a hard upsell on things: frames, contacts, whitening, lasering. It's painfully obvious and I can't find a place that doesn't do it.
> On top of that, most doctors only have a very narrow understanding of the human body and don't know when to refer you to some other doctor they will be better equipped to help you.

Are we talking about doctors, not nurse practitioners? It's hard to understand how a doctor with 4 years of medical school and 3-7 years of residency would have a "very narrow understanding" of the human body.

Also, my experience has been that I have always been referred to a specialist when there was any uncertainty about diagnosis or treatment. My trouble has come from them not following up when an RX is denied by insurance, and making it difficult to schedule a doctor's appointment due to not being able to transfer my previous information.
Idle or in standby? EU regulations state the maximum standby power is 0.5w.

If you read through to the bottom, you'll see the article itself is just a call to action for yet another service which the author is starting. It's an ad. Seeing it buried so deep doesn't make me feel that the author has any better intentions than Google itself -- credibility already gone.
To add to the confusion of the very real risk of immoral and unnecessary dental work mentioned elsewhere in this thread - xrays can be legitimately difficult to interpret when looking for small cavities.

Ideally you do want to get even small ones filled as a preventative measure. However IME trustworthy dentists will acknowledge the potential for false positives on less obvious xrays upfront and offer a choice of either probing the area with a very fine drill first or simply defer work altogether and monitor it on each check-up.

Point is, in your case it could be an untrustworthy dental practice (suggesting unnecessary procedures), or the original xray was ambiguous and there was never anything there, or the dentist was poor at interpreting it. Either way if it was that minor they should have made it clear - i'd recommend scepticism next time, feel free to interrogate them, they are doctors and usually welcome it... if they are unconvincing and defensive, go elsewhere.
Montreal has a lot of gaming companies as well as some startups if you are interested. Pay is lower than other provinces but cost is also lower. You don't really need French to feel comfortable here from my experience.
Something humorous I found in the docs for iPhone repair is that your battery can’t explode, but it can experience a “battery thermal event”.
Well my problem is that knowing Apple's (and the tech industry in general) bad faith regarding repair (and any kind of "ownership" users might gain on their devices), I don't think this is a "beginning".

I think this is just a PR piece designed to slow down right to repair legislation efforts that will be left to rot as soon as that objective is achieved, or the experience being so terrible that it's unusable to begin with. In fact, in my case it's already unusable - I keep spares for commonly broken parts for my phone (screen, case, battery & all the seals needed to reassemble) so that I can quickly repair it in a couple hours if I break it. This program would make it impossible as I'd need to ship the old parts back which means I can only order them when I actually need to do the repair and then wait for shipping - it turns a "I have a couple hours this evening, let me fix my phone so it doesn't look like shit" into a thing I have to explicitly schedule.

As of now not only is the selection of parts laughable (where can I buy a genuine new housing or mainboard, or proprietary mainboard components that Apple explicitly prohibits their vendors from selling to the public?) but there's extra BS such as the "system configuration" which has to be done via Apple Support instead of releasing the software or the protocol (so open-source tools can be built) in the open or even making devices be able to perform the configuration directly (new part detected -> a new option appears in Settings to do the initial config).
I love MIT OpenCourseWare, but they only seem to have video lectures for a small proportion of the courses. Mostly the introductory courses with the larger audiences. I'd love for them to try and get video for more lectures because I don't feel confident enough to try and understand many with the lecture notes alone.

More engagement, less code (Product Launch event)
Reloadly, a Spain-based tech firm building payment APIs for developers and their brands, is gearing up to unveil the new version of its popular Plugin. The unveiling will take place at an online event entitled "More Engagement, Less Code," which will be live-streamed on social media platforms on April 28.

According to Gartner, global demand for technology allowing hyper automation will be $596.6 billion in 2022, while low-code is expected to account for more than 65% of application development operations by 2024.

According to Reloadly Founder & CEO Michel Francis, "The new Reloadly Web Plugin removes the complexities involved to go live fast with our solutions – a task that typically requires deep engineering skills with API integrations."

Enhanced User Experience, Cost-Effectiveness
Ideal for small-to-mid-sized digital businesses with limited development resources, the new Plugin lets companies send airtime, data bundles and gift cards across the globe through their websites and mobile apps. Fully integrated with both Stripe and Flutterwave, it provides wider global coverage and new payment methods, creating novel means of navigating product offerings. It also makes possible the acceptance of payments in cryptocurrency.

Product Manager Frankel Zambrano also comments "Our Web Plugin is meant to deliver a seamless low code experience for non-engineers looking to add airtime top ups and digital gift card capabilities for their users to consume".

Reloadly will also unveil its new Webhook feature, in response to popular demand. Webhooks enable Reloadly to send events to an app based on processing that occurs at Reloadly's end. "All performance-focused software developers should be implementing webhooks in their applications," Reloadly Developer Advocate Mauro Chojrin says.

‘More Engagement, Less Code’
Both products will make their debut at an event to be live-streamed on Reloadly´s social media channels. Entitled More Engagement, Less Code interactive event will showcase the products’ many benefits. Improvements to Reloadly’s demo development platform will also be discussed at the event.

Businesses of every size and type have come to rely on Reloadly software to transfer mobile top-ups, data bundles, bill payments and gift cards. "Since launching in 2019, our mission remained the same," Francis says. "To help users across the globe optimize engagement with customers with a view to enhancing business performance."

OpenBSD doesn't support syscalls from alternative libcs, so you reliably get consistent syscall behavior.

But I believe GP is mostly talking about pledge(2), a pretty easy way to implement common sets of seccomp-like restrictions, and unveil(2), an easy way to limit path visibility. These are OpenBSD security features that Linux does not have direct equivalents of.
Doctors love to mockingly call this "Doctor Google" and reject anything mildly technical that you read on your own, even if you're just trying to have an open discussion and not push a diagnosis. I think the underlying dynamic is that doctors had one of the early monopolies on "knowledge work" and have never adapted their ways [0]. And so they're not used to having to engage with other's ideas, in stark contrast to the open collaboration we're used to in the engineering/scientific world.

[0] srsly if I'm understanding some recent hospital records correctly, they still mostly work by verbally dictating at subordinates who transcribe for them. And they spend most of that dictation simply reciting the patient's known condition. Compare with programming where the working set is openly displayed on the screen (modulo scrolling), and then our contribution is only that of making changes.
> Is it best to go ahead and get those fillings now? Probably, as far as your dental health is concerned.

Modern science says no, you should apply topical fluoride for most early cavities; and if the teeth use a modern pronamel (cough stuck behind USDA approval) should be able to recover quickly.
I'm not entirely sure why "make, but it handles filenames properly and allows spaces for indentation as well as tab" isn't the most popular fork of make.

Does it even exist?
Not only that, but the official policies rely on dontaudit rules because there are known policy violations that are in fact harmless (like processes scanning entire directories, or attempting to open a file in various locations). So disabling dontaudit means your logs will get cluttered with non-related error messages that were up to then silently ignored.
Yes, I just meant the chiropractic side. They're absolutely real and can be a problem medically. Chiros sort of co-opted it.
I'm sorry, but Datalog has existed since 1977; RDF, since 1999.

Piracy was one of the drivers of the European empires. Said empires had largely solved the issue by sheer sea power in the early 20th century, but after WWII those empires were shattered financially (the Brits) or physically (everyone else). The US took up the mantle after WWII and drastically upped the scale of the protection/globalization offered/mandated. On the economic side Pax Americana also forced alliance participants to open their economies to greater international trade in exchange for that protection. The various power blocks that preceded the modern global order were far more economically insular, a world we seem to be reverting to, for better or worse.

Also wars were more common the further back you go. As we're discovering today global supply chains are way more vulnerable to conflict. In a globalized economy, if Iran goes to war with Saudi Arabia the first thing to get sunk is all the oil tankers in the Persian Gulf, and the primary global energy source goes out. So for a globalized economy to work those tankers have to be sacrosanct. That's one reason the US kept an Aircraft carrier parked in the Persian Gulf for decades and made nice with the Saudis, it secured the global energy supply and thus the anti-Soviet alliance. But with the US being de-facto energy independent thanks to shale and the Soviets long gone, we no longer have any reason to stick around. It'll be interesting to see if the French or British restore some neo-version of their old middle eastern or North African empires as a result in the coming decades.
It’s probably cheaper than porting it to Windows, because in that case the tech press would eviscerate them for not letting Windows users repair their devices.
This blog seems to start after the hard part.

A friend of mine was trying something like this recently and couldn't figure out how to isolate the signal from all the noise around him. I was hoping this would explain even a little bit, but unfortunately not.

I think you've just perfectly explained the problem: "If we punish them hard enough that they care, they might leave".

You can't do credible enforcement, if your primary goal is ensuring the company continues to grace you with their presence
For clarity, "exemption from taxation" can be better thought of as "exemption from double taxation" or "exemption from external government taxation" since the special district is currently allowing Reedy Creek to tax itself for its own self-provided services.

Disney is not exempt from paying taxes for services in the way people think it's exempt. It's not paying zero. On the contrary, it's reportedly currently taxing itself 3x the maximum tax rate the city or county is allowed to tax.
At what point can I just purchase old medical machinery on eBay and run my own blood tests and stuff.
I have 4 impacted wisdom teeth completely sideways, and dentists on the east and west coast of the US have told me not to bother taking them out since I was 25 or older unless they start causing me problems.
You can sue them for malpractice, that's something, at least. But I can't imagine how bad a doctor would have to be before they were subject to criminal charges. Simply being awful at their job wouldn't do it.
The volatility in price seems okay as far as diversification, there was some low probability of crypto prices being this high and it happened. The private key hygiene is really worrying though. You can have private key multisig but at some basic level the funds can just disappear once someone accumulates enough keys (e.g. corrupt persons sell them on black market). Or be lost if enough keys are lost etc. It requires pretty diligent process, especially during changes of power
I pretty firmly believe the majority of, say, Badminton pros who could have been pro in other more lucrative sports. In the same way you saw eg Magic Pro Tour players switching to poker.

I don't hold for a moment that the average pro gamer has the skills to transition to "traditional" sports.

So, like, at what level is a choice to grab the smaller pie, vs the choice to focus on a specific skill they do actually have over and above a desk job
The math is right but the units are messy. Watts are already energy/time, which is correct for the 25 W figure, but the 219 should be kWh/year.

25 W * 24 h/day * 365 days/year = 219000 Wh/year = 219 kWh/year

Which makes me notice that 1 kWh / year = 1000 Wh / year = 1000 Wh / (356 * 24h) = 0.117 W. So you can quickly estimate that a device with x Watts of constant consumption will have you paying for roughly 10 x kWh in electricity a year. With electricity costs on the order of 20 cents/kWh, that means a rule of thumb is "double the wattage, that's how many $ it'll cost you to have it running all year".
> fundamental invalidity, rather than practicality

I'm not sure there's any difference between these in practice - same with the difference being degree or kind. At the end of the day, the question is: what can I actually implement in my own brain to make good decisions.

I think the biggest place we might disagree here is about _what the goals_ are of prediction in the first place. "if you can't track your predictions over time you'll have a hard time improving" might be true, but for me, the terminal goal is _not_ to make increasingly accurate predictions.

My goal is to operate as effectively as possible. We both agree that explicit Bayesian calculations aren't useful in a startup world. We also both agree that Bayesian techniques are very easy to footgun with in the wild. For me, both of these point pretty squarely in the direction called: we need non-Bayesian decision making tools.

To paint the shape of what I think these decision making tools should look like:

1. They avoid mechanistic explanations.

2. They are explicitly not mathy.

3. They apply simple and robust heuristics to generate lots of options.

4. They exist in a purposely constructed iterative environment so that you get lots of attempts.

These decision making tools are built around a) acknowledging that we cannot mathematically reason about the uncertainty we're dealing with in any legit capacity (without just foot-gunning), and that b) spending time on _decisions_ vs. on _execution_ is silly in most contexts, as execution is where you actually learn things (and thus you should make lots of quick and dirty decisions), and c) more good options are always valuable!

I can talk more about what this looks like in practice, as it's sort of the shape of how my cofounders and I run our startup. It's a WIP of course, but in practice we find the iterative, quick and dirty heuristic approach to lead to much faster and more robust growth than long-term predictions (which we used to do a lot of).

Also, do you have links to work that has informed your thinking on superforcasters? Or links to the specific set of superforecasters you're talking about? It seems you're thinking about a specific set of people, and I'd love to learn more about em!
You want volatile value trending up, or or value going to shit with certainty?

This is a true statement.
But where does the author indicate that they don't think Google is unethical?

You're showing me that the author personally uses google, and that the author thinks the vast majority of people use google (which is true). Nothing about what they said suggests they think Google is ethical.
> Gates tries to cure disease. Allen looked for historical wrecks

None of that stuff concerns the avg. American. Gates was instrumental in the race for the vaccine and Americans could not give a damn about it. Gates is old, can't speak and he's sort of stuck in between being an invisible apolitical billionaire such as the Waltons and somebody who tries to step in the public arena. Musk obliterated him because he is really all about being in the public arena , not tiptoeing about it. If you were a baseball coach in the World Series you wouldn't send to the mound a pitcher who is unsure of whether he wants to keep playing Baseball, right?

> Musk does marketing and sells Musk

This is what people want. A technological leader with the guts to call out nonsense and political correctness. Americans aren't endangered by polio or malaria and in the great scheme of things not even COVID (the things which Gates fights or claims to fight). Americans are endangered by big government, political correctness and technological standstill. Musk emerged as the singular force of hope for millions of people against all such dark forces.

The shortest route between 2 points is a line. By the same token the shortest route to social success is becoming a politician. Musk noticed it and said to himself "if somebody must do it, then it might as well be somebody competent" and who is more competent than Elon Musk? Data says nobody.

That's why the financials of his business don't matter, and they never will. He's the singular force of hope for people who don't like the current trajectory of the US.

A true statist like Lee Kuan Yew, but for the whole US instead of just a tiny island like Singapore.

Elon Musk is the man who sees infinite
