Funny anecdote that Dr. Brunkow thought she was being spammed when the Nobel Committee tried to inform her:

Brunkow, meanwhile, got the news of her prize from an AP photographer who came to her Seattle home in the early hours of the morning. She said she had ignored the earlier call from the Nobel Committee. “My phone rang and I saw a number from Sweden and thought: ‘That’s just, that’s spam of some sort.’”

The article does describe some of the subject's tormentors eventually apologizing to him, possibly more out of reflection and genuine remorse as opposed to being told to "Tell him you're sorry."

There should be consequences for bad behavior all around, but if one of the consequences is that a bully increases their level of compassion and self-regulation, it could allow the system to skip the punishment phase of creating consequences and still serve the goals of justice.

Also, while suspension for the subject sounds like a punitive and one-sided approach, he dreaded going to school and the suspension provided a mechanism to create an approach that would thoughtfully allow him and his tormentors to develop better behaviors.

Such a beautiful plane. While perhaps the structural issues could have been better anticipated and addressed, the fact that the engines were incorporated into the wings would likely have been the next issue for the aircraft, with fires, seized turbofans, and proximity to fuel tanks causing further incidents or accidents at rates exceeding those of planes with their engines mounted on pylons.

Can also add a binder clip after applying the adhesive for additional strength. The handles will fold around the screen kind of out of the way.

Interesting detail in TFA is that the pilot had converted to the plane's short take off and vertical landing mode, but instead carried out a missed approach procedure when his helmet-mounted display malfunctioned.

I'd heard of radio transmission of software during the '80s, but I hadn't heard of the use of TV transmission:

Back in the 1980s, the BBC did something similar using a DIY tuner viewers attached to their TV screen. During episodes of the short-lived series 4 Computer Buffs, a flashing light could transmit the code for an application to the Commodore 64, Sinclair, or BBC Micro.

Interesting and thought provoking to hear him honestly criticize himself in order to resist being idolized.

It reminded me of the 1993 Nike commercial with Charles Barkley after he was criticized for his off-court behavior, culminating in his quote:

“I am not a role model. I’m not paid to be a role model. I’m paid to wreak havoc on the basketball court. Parents should be role models. Just because I dunk a basketball doesn’t mean I should raise your kids.”

From the video, Intel's 13th and 14th Gen CPUs have generated much higher error rates compared to AMD CPUs. Error logs from Oodle game telemetry data showed 1,431 decompression errors from Intel CPUS and only 4 from AMD CPUs. More than 70% of Intel's CPUs were prone to errors compared to 30% of AMD.

Yeah, and for me the benchmarks support the idea that a good enough CPU is all that is necessary to partner with a more expensive GPU if the machine is mainly used for gaming.

I think the extension of that is if one is looking to upgrade a gaming system, the GPU would be the best part to replace and the 'old' CPU will likely still be able to provide a good gaming experience.

In the comment section, the customer (who has Hertz President's Circle status) provides even more baffling interactions with Hertz:

Hey y’all! Josh here! To clarify, I did receive an email that the quote in the article was pulled from, but I also had three interactions over the phone with people who were most definitely human (and most definitely rude) who confirmed to me that yes actually, the charge is legitimate. Yes, it’s also my fault for asking them to fill it up if I didn’t want to get charged. And yes, really, that was the cost to fill up the Tesla with gas. No, really, sir; the Hertz teams on the ground know their cars. If they say a Tesla Model 3 standard range takes $277 gallons of gas to fill up, it must have taken $277 to fill up the tank. So… there ya have it! There must be a secret gas tank that only Hertz knows about that all the Tesla owners have yet to discover. Maybe it’s an Easter egg? ;)

Joe Budano, chief executive of San Diego-based Indyme which makes buttons to beckon sales associates to specific aisles is interviewed:

His company also has developed technology — the Freedom Case, they call it — that allows shoppers to open cases themselves using personal information such as their cellphone number or by scanning their face. More than 40 retailers are testing the Freedom Case in stores, Budano said, including a national chain he declined to name.

Also includes a "Community Participation" element offering the opportunity for up to 100 SEC Accredited Investors to invest $10K each.

It's very sad. DSM was never strictly meant to be a clinical diagnostic tool, but rather it was originally meant to define specific illnesses in a manner that would facilitate further research by allowing investigators to at least be talking about the same phenomena when comparing results. (and it unintentionally became very popular with lawyers, who argued that presence in the DSM equated to unimpeachable evidence of an illness in a client, another use that it was never designed to accommodate)

It's still true that there are only on the order of 8-12 well-validated diagnoses in the manual. Increases in the number of included diagnoses over editions is primarily due to concessions to important researchers as opposed to clear identification of previously undescribed illnesses.

There are lumpers and splitters in academic psychiatry. Lumpers are suspicious that there are several hundred discrete disorders of the brain that can't be more parsimoniously explained with existing, better validated illnesses.

One possible explanation is that concern about access to healthcare and fear of medical debt is an ongoing concern in the US. Having one accumulation of debt relieved provides little protection from the vagaries of life creating another insurmountable financial problem.

It's really hard to understand someone's individual barriers to change without spending time with them in real life, so forgive me if this isn't useful, but the first thing I wonder is how much does your career affect your health?

How much longer do you actually need to work, or work full-time, for your values of 'need'?

Would $100K effectively 'buy' you more time off so you can spend more time on yourself without feeling like you need to always try to carve time out of your day for yourself?

I mention this because I tried my whole life to maintain a healthy weight, and was never super-successful until I retired. Then it's like a switch flipped, and taking care of myself became my job, and I enjoyed doing it. Now it's almost kind of spooky how long I've stably maintained the lowest weight I've been as an adult.

In my case, I think that direct effects of stress on cortisol levels, along with the placating psychological effects of overeating and eating unhealthy foods on my stress levels, made it harder for me to achieve my goals while I was working.
