Is there a way to get this device without a prescription? I tried phone apps that use the FreeStyle Libre and make it into a CGM (e.g., https://www.levelshealth.com/).
They're great but also super expensive.

US immigration is a mess and Canada's is delightful even if it's pissing off the locals a bit these days.
I've been saying for a while that US and Canada have been playing a zero sum game for Dev jobs. US' loss is Canada's gain.
He thought it wasn't ADHD because I don't otherwise get distracted if I'm engaged (watching a movie in a theater, cooking etc) and can generally see the task through to the end.
Note: watching a movie in a theater is, for me, a totally different experience to watching it at home. At home there's always an option to pick up the phone in the middle or walk away and do something else whereas at the theater I don't have that option. I can very easily watch a full movie at the theater but it's been a fairly long time since I was able to watch a full movie at home in one go.
It's effectively a French guy hiring another french guy or a German guy stacking their team with other Germans. It's a bit more complicated than that because if you look at things like power distance index (PDI), India measures way higher in the chart than any western country (i.e., culturally Indians are more accepting of hierarchy than their western counterparts, so an Indian subordinate is more deferential to their boss than an American one for example)
I think Facebook just got burned by not having a hardware platform this cycle - Apple and Google control the phones and Microsoft has the PC, XBox etc. They just want control over the next big hardware platform.
Whether that's a reasonable bet or not who knows? But I wouldn't be as dismissive of their ambitions in the space.
I've personally tried to use mind maps (a bit more general than solving technical problems) but gave up pretty quickly. I think part of the problem was the technology itself, mind map apps are mostly desktop only and the mobile experience navigating a 2D diagram is kind of clunky. The other part was just laziness, after building a mind map for an entire weekend I didn't even scratch the surface of what I wanted to achieve with it.
Also I take objection to the fact that we go straight to Google for solutions, I check the existing codebase I'm working on, code search in my company's internal repo, code search github, then go to Stackoverflow / docs. So there's some amount of intermediate caching.
Army jobs getting automated is one thing I could get behind.
Just keep the drones out of the civilian areas.
For instance, there's a lot of manual clean up work put into things like training data sets for speech recognition because there has been a lot of investment there. Same with self driving I assume because so much $$$ got invested there.
Radiology scans or cough based COVID detectors or medical claims on the other hand? I wouldn't expect it. It's just researchers trying to get a quick paper without adequate funding.
Companies try to do stupid things and end up with egg on their face all the time.
They'll backtrack from this and people will forget it ever happened in a few months.
I've never heard of Settlers before, any other games of a similar mould?
Original Article quotes
"growing evidence suggests these stores are not merely a byproduct of economic distress. They’re a cause of it. In small towns and urban neighborhoods alike, dollar stores are triggering the closure of grocery stores, eliminating jobs, and further eroding the prospects of the vulnerable communities they target"
This links to a report here as a source: https://ilsr.org/dollar-stores-factsheet/
Which cites https://www.theguardian.com/business/2018/aug/13/dollar-gene... as its only source.
The actual quote:
"“We lasted three years and three days after Dollar General opened,” he said. “Sales dropped and just kept dropping. We averaged 225 customers a day before and immediately dropped to about 175. A year ago we were down to 125 a day. Basically we lost 35 to 40% of our sales. I lost a thousand dollars a day in sales in three years.”"
They already run someone else's RNA code when you get infected by any random virus.
I still find it a bit condescending / annoying. I read things like "offering a particularly human-centered lens through which to consider the objects" as let the plebs have their night out once in a while. They'll still get "mentored" by curators apparently, so it's not like they're just using their understanding to pick, they'll probably get brainwashed a bit.
One interesting experiment would be to put a button / ticket scanner near each artwork and ask the visitors to vote on what they liked. Maybe give them a theme and ask them to pick 2-3 pieces of art that matched that theme and put an exhibition on at the end of a month or so with the most picked works.
Either let the government make the rules on what speech is okay in their countries or let the platforms decide what's okay. You can't have both.
India has never had an economic right party in power at all. It has been various flavors of populism and socialism. The recent agriculture bill is an interesting case in point.
A - Self driving has been hyped B - Full self driving is hard and may not happen (without any concrete arguments beyond reality is complex)
I'd apply the same logic here: "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it."
Ad supported models on news paper websites have nearly killed publications like NYTimes. A lot of smaller news papers have died. Only after the paywall model really took off have they been able to survive and thrive.
So there's nothing you can say to the media that will convince them that there's value in ads.
To them, ads and big tech in general are evil entities and must be criticized at every possible turn.
e.g., I want a job at Facebook, so I'm going to go interview at some random startups first for sharpness.
I haven't heard of anyone actually taking that advice literally and just randomly giving out interviews even when they have no intention of actually moving from their jobs.
No incentive for Google to explicitly refuse photos from Apple for example.

Anyway, these are ethical concepts and can vary widely between person to person. Some might not want to invest in energy companies at all where as others might not have anything against companies selling oil / cars with internal combustion engines but take objection to a company's CEO being against BLM for example.
- People don't transact with btc
- Uses electricity
- QPS is not enough
- Too volatile
- blah blah blah
At this point I think you can train a GPT-3 model to write these articles every day and they'll still get upvoted.
