A little of both. Intermittent fasting didn't seem to have an impact. Longer fasts (longest I've done is 3 days) definitely do, I seem to have better control for the days following it.
I've been Type 1 for 20+ years and have measurable remissions based on blood tests. Low level functioning of pancreas again.
The thing that moved the needle for me was fasting + ultra running (which from my understanding implements a fasting-like response by the body in some ways).
Interesting that not eating for a while correlated with what seems like increased pancreatic activity...
A business by definition is not a valuable and transferrable business if every single person (including the C-suite) cannot be replaced without the business collapsing.
No one is immune to this or an exception. Top to bottom.
I agree, sounds like their systems are optimizing based on the roll-over limit.
Basically I'm just going back to cash pay and negotiation for everything either before the visit, or at the facility. Then using alternatives to health insurance for the original purpose of insurance (lol), to cover unexpected events.
Yep, and ever since a certain insurance provider has switched to an AI system, I've had nearly all my Type 1 Diabetic prescriptions rejected (that I've had no problem getting for over a decade).
Then it takes hours on the phone for every prescription to finally get one approved. Rinse and repeat every 3 months.
Agreed. Most modern forms of Western warfare are non-violent with occasional violent repercussions. It's not lining up troops and sending them places in uniforms, although that does happen.
It's economic, cyber, covert, cultural and other less noticeable sieges that cause collapse from the inside.
Absolutely - when me and my team spend $50k to experiment (which is chump change for a funded company) and it fails, that hurts. It's coming out of my pockets. And because of that, I remember it and my team remembers it.
But it's also allowed us to focus solely on the problems our customers actually have and will spend money for. It forces service/product-market fit before attempts to scale.
We are a services business so it is different than SaaS, but same principles apply.
There are benefits to bootstrap and benefits to funded. I feel as if bootstrapping first is a great way to learn the lessons needed to be successful when you do something funded later on.
MergeYourData.com | Data Engineer | Contract | Remote
We're looking to bring on a contractor for several projects that need assistance with data engineering and data architecture. You'll be working on GCP and AWS, and the architecture components will be determined by you and the team depending on the needs of the client.
Feel free to send an application to dan @ company name. Would be happy to share more about the specific projects, how we work, etc.
Wondering how this is going to change the remote working experience. If the price point starts coming down, I can see this as really useful for digital "in-person" meetings that keep people more engaged than a Zoom call.
Intrigued to test this device out to see if it's really much different from the typical VR experiences.
Kinda silly to assume that the data is an exact reflection of reality when that link is reporting on "incidents". Especially when you can visit the city and witness stark difference compared to walking around somewhere like Miami, Houston, or New York.
Incidents are actual reports to police, not a log of all activities happening in the city. Several factors can influence reporting rates in a city, causing over or underreporting. Especially if you doubt the effectiveness and corruptibility of the police. Homicides are direct reports of victims and more accurate.
Plus, the linked article is based on the San Francisco Police Department website's crime data. Not saying that nefarious activity is the case, but has this data been audited by a 3rd party? There's definitely an incentive to show that things are better than they are if funding, elections, etc. depend on it.
Welcome to the majority of "journalism". All it takes is a look one or two levels down into the "facts" presented to realize they're wildly and poorly extrapolated to fit a narrative by whoever is paying the bills.
While the lock-in is real, there are other platforms that are catching up fast. My firm does Salesforce to HubSpot migrations as part of our services, and it's getting easier and easier to switch. Still takes time to retrain and shift business processes to a different philosophy, but we almost always see better usage of the platform, better data, and happier users.
HubSpot is not a replacement for hugely complex organizations that needs to dump tens of millions or more into a Salesforce instance (software + labor), but for mid-size and below it's great.
We have a simple chat window that only shows on exit on specific pages of our website (consulting firm). It's been a really efficient way to potential clients to start conversations with us and for us to get them quick and helpful answers. Saves both parties a lot of time and helps both qualify/disqualify each other a lot faster.
There was an entire data set released that had all the medical device injuries and malfunctions listed. Pretty interesting to dive into considering it wasn't previously public.
As a Type 1 diabetic, insulin pumps are a game changer for the entire population that needs to use them. But I think it's understated the risks that come with the devices. In my opinion the benefits outweigh the risks but that is still something you should be able to determine on your own as a user.
Side note: One of the things I see a lot of diabetics miss with insulin pumps is how changes in altitude and air pressure can cause unintended delivery of insulin if you have air bubbles in the cartridge. For those who travel with insulin pumps, make sure to disconnect during changes in altitude (take-off and landing).
