At least he's honest about it. Truth be told, it does feel like free markets have become a bit of a dirty word in both political realms recently; I'm not going to complain too much about Bezos advocating for it, we could use the h

The majority of the success of modern society has come from allowing these self-serving motivations to help everyone. I don't get where this moralistic perspective that everything has to be done selflessly for some greater good has com

Deliberate decision to focus on higher-margin products that aren't commodities (like memory). I believe similar logic was used to justify the sale of their flash business.

Brutal. Hope you can make the best of it and the arthritis doesn't advance further.

I wonder how it would go without shoes. It's an enjoyable change from wrapping your feet up all the time anyway :)

It's certainly an understandable view. At least there is more research showing that at least some of these measures aren't meaningfully reducing harm anyway.

I broke my ankle 15 weeks ago, and decided to weight bear early against the advice of my doctors. In my experience, it caused me no issues and prevented my calf from atrophying further. My foot was also super tight, and I can't imagine

It's really surprising, isn't it? I think they get caught up in minutia of this vs that. So much of medical research just ends up copping out with a surgeons preference option, even though it's meant to inform the surgeon! Ju

Accidents are almost always bad, for sure. Doing things that you are physically capable of, though, is rarely a problem. The perception of things like weightlifting being dangerous or bad for your back though are almost entirely a myth. It

In my experience you do have to tolerate pain for things like range of motion/stretching. My ankle wouldnt have near the range of motion it has now after breaking it if I wasn't pushing into a decent amount of pain to stretch it.

There is a lot of hokum and bad statistics in the medical field. Doctors truly don't have a great idea what improves post op outcomes. There are some bigger studies coming out that show that early weight bearing is non-inferior to trad

What surgical treatment do you expect to improve your outcome?

I love how this is basically the complete opposite of the old protocol lmfao. Makes sense to me, though :D

If it's not an articular injury and they fix all the bones, you can more or less walk on these immediately. I've read about protocols like two weeks, and even immediately (albeit that has issues with wound healing)

Sure, stuff goes out of date, but rarely does it fail for hardware reasons. Practically the only electronic components that fail with any regularity are chemical components like electrolytic caps and batteries.

Sounds irrelevant in both cases. A business will use real redundancy with extra drives rather than hoping to maybe recover data from a dead drive. If the drive dies they probably just pull it and rebuild, which is likely quite a lot better

Of course, the first order effect of less spending is not usually good, particulary for those receiving the money. However, Argentina has runaway second order effects like inflation that must be dealt with, and we know that the only real wa

Appreciate your defense of me - that is the point I was trying to make :) I would go into more depth, but I find there are a lot of people that just fundamentally have different views on economics XD

by Panzer04 2y ago
Sure, but Argentina wasn't doing ING what an MMT theorist would advocate for (which is balancing government spending with available productive capacity). This is evident because they had an out of control inflation rate.

Real cost in USD going up because they're releasing the artificial peg that most people can't access anyway? No one says it's going to be all sunshine and roses, but fixing inflation and housing/rental prices seems like

Whatever the stupidity around this memecoin, it's hard to argue he isn't doing something to help the argentinian economy. It turns out it doesn't take much to appear to be an economic genius - just stop spending money the g

We live in a world where half of elected officials want to stop the rollout of renewables for ideological reasons and regularly push nuclear power as an alternative, despite making zero economic sense. I'm not saying the government can

by Panzer04 2y ago
I think it's one of those "be contrarian for the sake of it" positions. People think they sound smart for going nuclear because it ticks a lot of boxes at the surface level. Then you realise it costs multiple times more than

The difference is that private industry is buying what's effective while politicians mouth off. This is one of the reasons we should let the "free market" control things where we can, since they are compelled to make sensible

The unsung hero of early computing was Dennard scaling. Taking CPUS from 10MHz to 2GHz, all alongside massive per-clock efficiency improvements must have been a crazy time. From a 50MHz 486 in 1990 to a 1.4GHz P3 in 2000 is a factor of 28 i

People have weird beliefs about performance. A laptop can sustain desktop-like performance for short periods (tens of seconds) before they must throttle back because of heat limits. For sustained maximum performance you need the ability to

I was wondering if this was a thing - in RC quads and the like we use these massive bullet connectors (XT30/60/90 and similar) which often have lower resistances than the wires themselves. Yeah, they take soldering for the wire&#x

You could build the lot with DC and massively reduce transformers, but transformers are probably a lot more reliable than switching converters everywhere. Not sure which would be cheaper tbh.

I'm not sure there's a ton of point warming up. It feels good, sure, and if you are doing maximal lifts it's probably a good idea to feel out how close your are to your limit, but otherwise I don't see how warmups help.

Probably one of those things were the money ceases to be a concern when the rate is already high enough at nicer locations. Doesn't mean you can't keep upping the rate and getting one anyway, but probably it becomes more cost effe
