Without using AI there have been substantial improvements already - I was home for harvest on my family farm last year, driving a JD S970 (last time I drove was a CTSII about 10 years ago). 40 ft front, gps auto steer, radar controlled fron

You’re right, there was so much feature asymmetry we couldn’t justify sticking around - we would have lost any valuable insights into user behaviour. Firebase analytics just seemed like a ‘made for ads and influencers’ analytics tool. What

So i'm not an anaesthetist and therefore I claim no high ground with regard to this rusty attempt at respiratory and gas physiology - When I read it initially I thought - that makes sense, but I just did the equations, and basically th

Thats the typical way to handle a tension pneumo, which is slightly different but highly emergent. It's unlikely the case described was a tension pneumo because of the time period, but it very well could have developed that way, and re

Hi, Thanks for your interest, you've got a great product there and it's been really cool seeing it evolve. We're actually not currently using a data lake. We were initially on the startup plan which was fantastic (the abilit

Wow, is that right. We had some weird little projects that were web based that we didn't do anything with that we could still view through analytics.google but I felt that the mobile stuff was GOOOONE unless we did something. So they&#

It’s an interesting argument, but in my view, one that sailed 2-3 years ago when they force-migrated everyone to firebase analytics, which fairly drastically changed our data views given as it was so heavily geared to revenue generating cli

Turkey getting S-400 was the reason for them being edged out of the F-35 program, so I don’t know how it all works but it’s not all hunky dory

We’re doing exactly the same as we’re doing with traditional vaccines, but more efficiently. There’s a lot about your comment that misses the subtleties and mechanics of how the immune system works and repeats fears that, quite frankly, ste

Let me be really clear, everyone should have a doctor. But the concept of an annual checkup, as though there is a process to it and if you haven’t been to the doctor in the last 12 months is something you have to go through, is not part of

If a person is otherwise healthy, no. Or at least, there is no medical indication to do so. But a person with pre diabetes is not generally otherwise healthy. T2DM is not a condition of a healthy person, it is a lifestyle disease caused by

I agree in principle, but health literacy is so appallingly low - globally - that more often than not people are not equipped to deal with this information. As I said in an earlier post on this thread, look at the askdocs subreddit. 90% of

For ‘catch it early’ you are talking screening. That’s why there’s cervical cancer screening (pap smear/the new cytology test), mammograms, faecal occult blood tests, in australia skin cancer screening, etc. And that’s why people shoul

There is no real medical need for an ‘annual physical’ it is a creation of the American medical-industrial complex and creates more problems than it solves. Having said that seeing a doctor occasionally for blood pressure etc is useful, but

I mean it’s pretty hard to avoid the ‘news’ since just about everything is a ‘news’ source these days, but it is fairly easy to just assess the data provided and leave the interpretation for more facts to arrive. Video: tank runs over car.

I’m not going to shift into armchair general/geopolitical master mode because I am not qualified but you’ve used a Gallup poll from the previous government to try and make a point about the current government, which at its most gener
