It seems to me that a bigger issue is lack of storage. With battery storage acting as buffers we would normalize/smooth out required transmission rates.

Are you talking about moderation or prosecution? You do see the difference right?

by epgui 1y ago
To be honest I’m not sure what’s worse. I think I’d rather moderation be a public service than a profit-driven activity. (Bias: I’m lucky to live in a country that has a relatively good government, so I find it “easy” to imagine that it cou

The comment you're replying to is not about abstraction at all. ie.: The difference between passive listening and active learning is not abstraction.

I don't exactly disagree, but I also don't like how this article confounds concepts and considers the idea that "people value different things" in a bit of a vacuum. Usually I would expect an engineer to be able to gauge

There’s nothing academic about this, it’s an ad. As an academic, that hurts. Academic good; ad bad.

While what you say could be argued, this is both an insufficient argument against, and irrelevant to, the post you’re commenting on.

Oftentimes in psychiatry the treatments are just as important as anything else in establishing a diagnosis. There’s a well-known concept of “diagnosis by treatment” because unfortunately that’s often the best we can do in practice. It sound

Boards are expected to “go after” professionals who do not provide a certain standard of care, but that has very little (if anything) to do with the DSM. I think this comment just reinforces a misunderstanding of what the DSM actually is.

Wikipedia is not a source of original research or thinking. If prominent and reputable sources spoke about and coined these other terms there would be articles about them, or the article would be more generic. Wikipedia exists in the contex

I’ve had a bunch of neuro/psycho classes and this was always well understood. This stuff is complicated. People are going to get it wrong. That sucks. But if you’re going to judge the book, judge it by how it presents itself, don’t jud

This is the wrong question… The DSM is just an ontology that aims to standardize communication of otherwise ill-defined or nebulous clinical entities. It provides language for medical professionals of various backgrounds to understand each

I believe I have accumulated two moderation strikes on my Facebook account for (relatively politely) calling out posts for being racist/xenophobic. Both cases my comments were flagged as promoting hate, ironically. The appeal mechanism

Yeah that was my charitable reading as well, but with the incredible prevalence of anti-vax/vaccine skepticism, you can never be sure. I thought clarifying could be helpful!

Thanks for clarifying, it was really not obvious given the incredible prevalence of vaccine skepticism!

Never in History have humans had as good teeth as they do today. Also consider that until we had vaccines and antibiotics in the early 20th century, the average lifespan was very short.
