I think the bigger issue with measuring blood pressure is that, aside from diagnosed diabetics, it's a measurement done infrequently and at mostly arbitrary times. Your blood pressure reading on the day of a doctor's appointment,

The main benefit is that it's easier to have multiple eSIMs than to have multiple physical SIMs. Sure you can only have one active simultaneously (I think?), but that's better than the status quo of physical SIMs. I'm a US&#x

Most of them are "think tanks," which is a fancy word for "lobbyist."

Would it be global or would it only be the side of the Earth that was facing the Sun at the time of impact?

One thing we can probably agree on is that those centralized test centers were the dumbest idea of the entire pandemic. For the same reasons you state, they always seemed absolutely insane to me. So you think you have Covid? Get in your car

That would make sense if the vaccinations had any impact on transmission rate.

Yes, I agree with the general premise, that "as covid becomes more normalized people stop testing / reporting their test results." But it's hard to reconcile this justification for lack of data, with (a) the current head

You're attributing nervousness to me when it does not exist. I'm pretty sure we both have as much desire to be right as the other. The difference is, I'm not telling you not to get vaccinated. You do what you want, I do wha

I'll stick to my conspiracy theory if you take a second to look at the data for daily Covid cases, and admit to yourself that it shows no significant spike: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

Not to be that guy, but isn't there a surprising correlation between the availability of the upcoming booster shot and the "uptick" in covid cases? The shot has been in development for a while, and it was only recently anno

If you're not using the latest, best tools available to teach your students - and if you're not teaching them about those tools - then you are a bad teacher. Period. Language models should be introduced in classrooms because they&

It basically costs nothing and it's a huge advantage for a country to be the dominant sink for international talent migration. Most countries have net brain drain where their smartest people leave... to go to the US. That the US has th

The good news is that if you find a prepaid SIM in one EU country, you should be able to continue using it in every EU country as long as you top it up. I often wish I still had my Croatia SIM card that I bought at a Tisak kiosk for €10.

Could this be used as a rubber ducky type device? I remember last I researched making a DIY rubber ducky it was quite difficult for some reason.

It has everything to do with nostalgia. Nostalgia is the only reason you can even express a concept as nebulous as "online freedom," when hardly anyone in the current generation can even conceptualize what that means, nevermind ho

If we extend the metaphor of a gate, then gatekeeping prevents the introduction of evolutionary bottlenecks, meaning the population stagnates in the absence of any external pressure to mutate.

My childhood was superior to your childhood. Nostalgia is a tale as old as time.

I'm skeptical of the argument that Nvidia's superiority to AMD is due to their software. But even if it were, what would AMD gain by having access to the source code of Nvidia drivers? It's not like they can use it to speed u

If you loosen the time constraints, there is a compelling case for self-manufacturing vacuum tube systems. They're more resilient to space environments and easier to manufacture than their silicon counterparts. Who says Von Neumann pro

I don't understand why Nvidia puts so much effort into keeping their drivers as proprietary blobs. It's not like their software is part of their defensibility; they're a hardware company. Not only will opening their kernel

I understand the (rather obvious) basis for this argument, but at what point does the responsibility shift to the doctor? If you don't have a health condition, and you ask ten doctors to diagnose you with one, then isn't the real

As far as "malicious" goes, this is like paying with an expired coupon for your discounted lunch. I've seen 100x worse in businesses like social apps. The guy seems kind of insecure by overexaggerating the maliciousness aspec

So basically getting a second opinion from another doctor is somehow fraudulent behavior? If you have a problem with this, shouldn't it be with the quack doctors making the diagnoses and not the patients? I was diagnosed with ADHD beca

"Stay in the US" is not a great consolation when it really means "paid to a cartel of weapons manufacturers."
