It’s been in use for 20 years or so, so I expect we’ve discovered most long term effects.

It’s not that there are no other interventions for obesity, it’s just that this is the cheapest and most effective. If taxing sodas had the effect of reducing body weight by 1/3, then I’d be all for it. But behavioral interventions are

Ozempic doesn’t remove the joy from eating. It just makes you eat much less. If anything it leads to eating less of really amazing food. Think enjoying tasting menus instead of double baconators.

It’s very expensive at $10k/year/patient, but I wonder if the long term costs are still cheaper than treating heart attack or stroke. Obesity greatly increases the risk of cardiovascular events so I think this may end up saving Me

This isn’t really a concern for me. I’ve had my gmail exposed to web scrapers for decades without making me regret it. For this purpose though it’s a non-issue as I also have a contact email published on my site so people can email me. And

You can, but many people do not do this.

I don’t consider that a risk as running a web site likely already has some contact email. I can set up infinite emails on my $30/year cpanel host so I just create a new mailbox for the form and forward it wherever I like.

Aside from having to have something to parse out the submission as the response isn’t that human readable, I think the biggest problem is that users need a mail client and requires them to hit send. This disorients people so even if they ha

I agree. It can be reduced through PR review and since it’s public, people who make low value contributions are easier to spot than in non-OSS projects where the same vanity contribs are harder to see. I’d say that if I saw bullshit open so

Is this kind of like US pharmaceuticals where the prices are very high in the US because they can be and that “subsidizes” the development of these apps so the fees can be cheaper in other regions.

There’s nothing wrong with it other than being confusing because the software isn’t open source.

I’d guess it’s just because the algorithm is not smart enough and is just looking at the category as a whole and then playing the most played. So Glenn Miller and Count Basie are in the same category, but more Spotify people who listen to t

I suppose the same way they controlled for idiot bigots in this study. Since the outcome measure is mortality, someone would have to be super racist to die in order to prove a point. All joking aside, you could look at patients who are unco

But isn’t that because in weekend admits are rare and only done in serious situations where death is more likely?

One entity is the de facto organization that I, and many others trust to shepard this important definition for society. Using precise language is useful for building software (and in general life). I like that OSI exists and helps people un

GPL is one kind of open source, not all. That’s why I specified OSI. For government work, I care about OSI, not if people can just see and not legally change, contribute, and redistribute. I think government should fund global goods and wan

Certainly. It’s not like giving them the source code would increase risk significantly, if the software is designed well. I think it would actually strengthen as more researchers would study and submit contribs. I think Linux is as or more

Security is frequently only as strong as the weakest link. If you’re an adversary, would you spend more time on an org’a poor security practices (pentagon failing audits) or a more difficult software vendor?

Are there human “watchers” in your waymos? Or are they completely autonomous? They just started testing in my city and have humans sitting there not doing anything. So it makes for kind of an uncomfortable ride. Chitchatting with the Uber d

That article is from 7 years ago. It seems unwise to make a judgement for today based on it.

I think GP just wants you to be smart enough to commend them for knowing of the marshmallow test but not smart enough to know if the reference is applicable.

Toddlers are told they will get two marshmallows if they wait. This is like “you can have a headache now and, if you wait, might get something later, perhaps a punch in the face, perhaps a slice of pie, perhaps nothing.”

There’s a lot more people in Vietnam than Orange County. And I expect making them stop using their motorcycle is harder as they have fewer or no alternatives.

That seems odd as in the UK property taxes are based on ownership, not vacancy. What makes you think vacant properties aren’t subject to taxes?

Trespassing is a criminal offense, right?

The property owner pays taxes, right? So the mechanism now is that investors don’t like to pay taxes and expenses without income to offset. I don’t know if the UK has eminent domain, but in the US the city can use eminent domain to purchase
