hell, you could even fedex them your own remote hands a la LTE modem tied to an rpi.. you could do what you need to by the time someone gets around to opening the box

I was under the impression that PAYG accounts having access to the old provisioning limits is still very ambiguous. This article ( https://www.infoq.com/news/2026/07/oracle-cloud-f…

I can second this. Back when I first set up my free tier resources there I confirmed this with a sales rep, PAYG accounts will have immediate access to free tier resources, that li…

If you "upgrade" your account to PAYG you will not have this limitation. The "no free instances available" issue is only for accounts without a payment method. I got this confirmed…

I'll (lightheartedly) come to their defense to say that this is how I and a lot of my peers made it through med school. The wetness of the page indeed unlocked some supressed memor…

There's support for encrypted communication with TPMs, but if I remember correctly this is almost never enabled by default.

I presume you're referring to receptor upregulation in response to the drugs. Bear in mind as you read my comment that this isn't my primary area, and it's been a while since I las…

Definitely not a good idea to be on it longer than 2 months. If we can't treat the underlying condition and the patient needs life-long acid suppression therapy, we switch to H2 re…

I personally believe you are right to be weary about holding off on long term use before the long term efficacy and risk profile of a drug has been established, but GLP1 class drug…

It's not that I don't believe people can't be trusted with information. I regularly introduce basic diagnostic/statistical concepts to patients to explain why a certain test is nee…

This is a tough problem for sure, and I resonate with your sentiment that something has to be done with it. In my personal (fully anecdotal) view, I think clinicians desperately ne…

Thank you, I appreciate you sharing your views on this. Coincidentally, I've only recently learned of the Overton Window [0] which describes that the spectrum of acceptable ideas i…

you raise a good point, I was trying to take the example to the logical extreme by specifically using berating. in essence, the example would be the same as whistleblowing (mechani…

the way I see US infrastructure, I feel like they (like most of the world) will never be able to claw their way back out of car dependence. Even the Dutch had to fight tooth and na…

Am I crazy for thinking that an employer should and has no say in whatever the fuck I do outside of work? As long as I'm not messing with company IP, I should be able to do what I …

in my case, they did this without input from me. I only found out because I could no longer access a swath of things I used to be able to. not virgin media, but in the EU

This is exactly why it's a bad idea. I agree that if this technology comes to fruition, it should be in every clinical and research setting as a tool for us to further our understa…

We can and do full body scans. Typically in the context of research, or for focus/metastasis search in current clinical settings. The problem is that, in clinical practice, with ev…

Had I not seen this, I would have been billed out the wazoo. Thank you. How this isn't criminal beats me

Let us not forget that, low cost carriers and full service carriers alike _all_ have artificially lower prices, prices below what it would actually cost to render their services, a…

A few years ago, I applied for a customer service job for an outsourcing company that was contracted by Ryanair. They had a two week unpaid training, I tapped out on day 3 of the t…

I share the exact sentiment. I unsubscribed once I was done skimming the body of the email.

Volvos also have this. At least my 2021 xc60 did.

I think the reality is much more grim. I believe we are now firmly in the territory where it is incontestable. (My opinion was cemented after reading Overshoot: How the World Surre…

I agree with your sentiment, but I have a hard time imagining any alternative action scientists could take besides publishing and warning. Science is best when it’s purely that, I’…
