I completely get the cable tv bit. Grew up without cable just OTA tv and Radio . I remembered how i would feel left out of the cable tv connection / conversations . Then I eventually moved on to living in the city and not really watching TV except simpons reruns and the news hour on pbs for many years . The parallels reveal how we just need to go out to social place outside of our homes . The pool, a restaurant, bar , library, a club a religious place and be involved. But more importantly we all need our own opinions again, and not to be so offended when you disagree.

For my wife, when on lantus and novolog ( no pump ) the overnights were always high blood sugars . The pumps definitely help , but in retrospect she also stopped eating gluten around the same time. The no gluten diet helped a lot .

Side bar having been around the dexcom for 10 years now . The old/original audible alarms were easy to understand. Low crescendo for going low , low repeats for low alarm and the reverse for high events. With the x2 and g6 i literally have no idea what the beeps mean anymore. This alarm fatigue is bad and i wonder if this contributes to the authors issue too. Was there some warning she missed?

My wife is a t1d and has the same pump. It sucks their support staff has no idea how the thing works or what its failure modes are. My wife once had her x2 tell her it gave here a 40 unit bolis out of the blue . This would have killed her. While in the er support from x2 said something like "there is no way for it to do this .. you must be wrong.. are you reading the display correctly .." All in all the x2 plus dexcom was supposed to be a closed loop cgm plus pump. It rarely cuts insulin delivery on low blood sugar, or it does it way too late to matter .

I would like to believe this is a cover story for IBM to make parts for the DoD latest weapon . I would like to imagine its a cover to make parts for some new government super computer. But its IBM its probably nothing even close to that . Its more likely a nice way to get the stock back at $315 and make nothing.

IBM announced today its VMWare replacement Red Hat Openshift Virtualization Service . Designed to give users a landing zone for existing VMware VCF workloads and a path to Containerization .

I am a bit older and i grew up in New Jersey, and it wasn't much different. My teacher once told me she was going to cut my finger off because i always counted with them . Punk rock saved my life .

National Grid: Live 4 months ago

Any way to do this for the part of National Grid that operates in New York and Massachusetts?

I agree, CNN has always had a weird angle to its bias. I am by no means a FOX news nut . I really think a lot of american "news" now is similar to How The WWF ( World Wide Wrestling Federation/ World Wrestling Entertainment) isn't a Sport. CNN , FOX, MSNBC/MSNOW , Newsmax etc aren't news but unfunny entertainment.

Also teach your kids to read using "The Science of Reading " . Not guessing, not looking at pictures for clues . Phonics, steps and patience.

SmartOS 6 months ago

I ran a fairly large SmartOS with project-fifo.net as the controller for a number of years . We also had the amusing time with Pluribus networks switching too. When they started they were also a Illumos based switchos . Bhyve on illumos came out of Pluribus and happened partly due to a number of FreeBSD users heckling the "SUN GODS" over why the official kvm port was a piece of shit .

In any case in the 6 years os smartos we never had any dataloss from failed disks, sure fifo and smartos had their warts but lx-zones works amazing well and i think we got Garrett D'Amore to go back to BSD land for some time . In the end we had to jump to VMWARE when Heinz gave up on fifo.

I feel like vzw abandoned sane things like otp for k8s ai and blockchain ( or whatever nonsense tech goes here ). otp was probably deemed antiquated and too hard to maintain.

How long before someone connects The secretary of commerce howard lutnick, to his company bgc partners ownership a oil and gas shipping broker , poten and partners . Poten had a desk specifically for Venezuelan crude, which Venezuela can not really domestically refine at scale. Their crude is mainly refined in Texas , and Louisiana . So we seize their tanker on the way to where exactly? Also do we even know if it was carrying crude to be refined to fuel or bitumen . Who owns the cargo, where is it being refines , who insured the boat , who insured the cargo. This story has too many holes in it to make sense . Whatever happened to the Epstein files ?

Personally, living with two T1D ( type 1 insulin dependent diabetic, the autoimmune disease not to be confused with the i am old, fat and over eat disorder) when your blood sugar is too high or low , you act weird , you are in a fog . Long term effects of the swings and sustained levels cause brain damage, not necessarily traumatic brain injuries but damage nonetheless.

So i can see the correlation for T1D and undiagnosed T2D cases Alzheimers. Now having a parent with both T2D and Alzheimers when they were taking rebelsis there was a change in their overall mood and activity , but i saw the change was "hey your sugar is under control, and no i am not your buddy from the army" . To be clear the difference is the fog of being unclear about what's going on like you're drunk , vs the grand delusions of seeing a different person that's not there .

This should have been obvious for the researchers.

You are all being fleeced. This has nothing to do with India H1b visas or foreigners of any kind. This is Howard Lutnick , Formerly of Cantor Fitzgerrald / BGC Partners / Newmark Knight Frank setting up the biggest market manipulation you have ever witnessed. The hope is the jobs report will go south as a result of this and the other amusing games they are playing, lets install our buddy on the fed. Then the few in the know will swoop in and buy up stock in the resulting fire sale. As a former Cantor employee, Howie is as crooked as you can imagine.

true but terminating a employee for any given reason is grounds for a challenge. also one could argue that ai in this form is anti employee, us it or we will find someone who is willing to, is still considered duress. its the same argument of sign this non compete or we will fire you ( no lawyer or notary present) .
