This is an automated post using data drawn from the
https://www.mass.gov/info-details/covid-19-response-reporting Chapter93 State Numbers Daily Report file. This data is still being reported daily on weekdays by Mass.gov. It is important to note that these are reports of cases, tests, and deaths -- NOT the actual definitive count. These numbers are often revised post-hoc, but this is the hot-off-the-press daily number given by the state (which I report the following morning).
The test counts (total and positive only) include all test types that are reported that day. An individual who takes multiple tests of different types in one day is only counted once. The death counts can differ from the dashboard since the death counts reported here are not finalized (dashboard numbers are finalized). Deaths which are reported on Friday are rolled into Monday's reported numbers. Deaths reported from Saturday, Sunday, and Monday are rolled into Tuesday's reported numbers.
Because of these peculiarities in reporting, I only show the data from 7d prior as a reference point. I defer graphical representation of COVID data to oldgrimalkin's beautiful visualizations.

2023.03.29 11:32 Elon__Ge Banking Crisis: A Possible Antidote to Inflation, Rather than a Recession Trigger - Goldman Sachs Claims.
When faced with instability, banks often become more conservative, becoming more selective in issuing loans, raising loan rates, and holding more cash to protect themselves from the worst-case scenario of a bank run.
These stricter loan standards may lead to a credit crunch, making it difficult for consumers and businesses to obtain necessary funding, potentially having a significant impact on the economy. Some predict a looming recession.
However, Jan Hatzius, Chief Economist and Head of Global Investment Research at Goldman Sachs, believes that banks' recent issues and the ongoing credit crunch may actually help the Federal Reserve cool the economy and combat inflation.
In a report released on Tuesday, Hatzius wrote, "Our baseline expectation is that reduced credit availability will prove to be a headwind that helps the Fed keep growth below potential…not a hurricane that pushes the economy into recession and forces the Fed to ease aggressively."
Hatzius is not alone in this view. At a press conference last week, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell also stated that stricter loan standards could have the same anti-inflationary effect as raising interest rates.
To curb the highest inflation levels in 40 years, Fed officials have raised interest rates at a faster pace over the past year than at any other time in history.
As banks reduce the amount of loans they provide, businesses find it harder to invest in their growth, and consumers find it harder to obtain loans to purchase new homes or cars, ultimately cooling the economy.
However, if loan standards are too strict, similar to the Fed raising interest rates too much, the economy could slow to the point of recession.
Hatzius does not believe that recent banking issues, such as the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, will cause banks to reduce their lending to that degree. Larger banks will continue to provide loans because they have "higher capital and liquidity standards than smaller banks and are subject to more stringent stress tests" from regulators, which makes them more resilient in times of financial stress.
Hatzius added that it is too early to judge the long-term impact of the banking crisis. Nevertheless, he raised the prediction for the probability of a US economic recession in the next 12 months, stating that it is now at 35%, up from last month's 25%.
First, he warned of the potential for another bank run due to consumer wariness after SVB's collapse. "The most effective way to reduce this risk would be an unlimited deposit guarantee. But that probably requires an act of Congress, which is unlikely to materialize barring a more intense crisis," he said.
Meanwhile, Hatzius argued that the need to pay higher interest rates to attract depositors is a longer-term issue for banks in the age of social media and digital banking, where depositors can quickly move funds by tapping an app.
"This is the first bout of turmoil of the truly digital age, in which residual concern about bank solvency may interact with frustration about low deposit rates," he wrote. "This could put more significant upward pressure on bank funding costs and create greater downside risk to credit availability than our statistical analysis would suggest."

2023.03.29 11:31 ParaMoon42 Angry Now And Just Venting...
Hello, everyone. It's me, Dani. :-)
I'm the 42-year-old sibling/anime nerd/writer, who's trying to care for my 57-year-old brother named Rob with a brain tumor and a badly infected leg (due to diabetes, thanks to the brain tumor). Along with my sister, Ace, who is the true rockstar and angel in all of this. And Rob's wife is a SAINT! She's put up with this madness for over a year and deserves all of the flowers possible! =p
So, it's been *checks notes* NINE days since I made my first post here, which started out with me venting about the horrible state of Rob's leg, the difficulty in changing his bandages (and peeling chunks of his skin away in the process, because the infection was THAT BAD!), about me going into a room to silent cry after those changings - before putting on a happy face again and approaching Rob with empathy and compassion again.
And just like the erosion of his leg, so is the state of our sibling relationship - as I've reached the point of screaming, cursing him out, and blocking phone calls altogether from Rob! I'll explain...
So, Ace took him to the best VA hospital in the Twin Cities of Minnesota. Once the medical staff saw the state of his leg, they IMMEDIATELY admitted him and set up a whole team of specialists for him. Two wound-care specialists, a new endocrinologist, a GP (that Rob loved and kept praising a lot), a head nurse named, uh... let's call him Calvin - that took to him as a fellow ex-soldier himself, a psychologist (as he voiced that he was feeling a lot of anxiety and wanted to talk with someone), a social worker, and a group of nurses to tend to his every need and whim.
This dream-team would football huddle together and work quickly with the goal to save Rob's leg from being amputated from the knee, as that was a real possibility on the table. (Keep in mind, this isn't on his Veteran benefits - no, it's on his wife's private insurance). And the treatments were super effective, with every one of his doctors pretty much giving the green light that he'd likely be released from the hospital by Monday. Meaning the Monday that's already passed now...
By Saturday, Rob decided, "My leg is healed enough! I want to go home!" He meant that he wanted to go back to our apartment for my sister and me to resume playing nurse-maid to him. Every doctor was adamant in their professional opinion that it would be unwise for him to leave the hospital in the middle of the treatment that will save his leg! So many times, the phrases "not recommended" or "I wouldn't recommend it" was repeated by every doctor and specialist. They would tell Rob this directly and oftentimes with Ace in the room to witness it.
Somehow, Rob heard, "Something-something... you can go home now if you want to." Every. Single. Time. And when Ace went home from her visit with him, he'd get the doctor to get on his phone, to relay to Ace that he can skip out on his treatment, but the doctor would repeat over the phone, "I don't recommend that your brother signs out of treatment prematurely, in my professional opinion." Then Rob would take the phone back and shout to my sister, as if he was vindicated, "You see? Doctor says I can go home!"
Calvin tried to warn him, "If you leave this hospital, you'll lose the leg for certain!" Rob tried to argue with the head nurse that his leg wasn't that bad, so Calvin stated the truth, "Dude, I can smell the infection, as we speak." I had experienced that smell for two days before he went into the VA... it smells of rotting flesh! No lie or "no cap" as the kids say these days.
Rob got angry and decided that it was all his wife's fault that he was losing his leg. He called her up on the phone, screaming at her, and asking for a divorce, as poor Ace tried to calm him down. His wife's account was, that she gave him his antibiotics - he refused to take them and the infection got worse. And that's an observable truth, as Rob has a habit of not taking his medication when he's at home and it's left up to him to do. And, he's too prideful to let anyone else manage his medications for him.
Either that or too paranoid. I don't really know.
Before Saturday, on Friday, Rob decided that Calvin was at fault and should be fired. He blamed Calvin for "lying" to him about the risk of losing his leg, deciding that it was never that serious at all, and that Calvin was purposely trying to get him to divorce his wife. And then, more bizarre conspiracy theories against the hospital and staff occurred. (see the previous post, if you're curious.)
So, it's been days of nonstop gaslighting and emotional blackmailing from Rob! And... for some crazy reason, he believes I'm the "weakest link" (even though, Ace has openly admitted that she's the weaker of the two of us and has been leaning on me for support to not cave into his mind-games), and his presumption that he's somehow "smarter" than me and that he can easily get his way from me only pisses me off MORE so! :(
And the worse thing is - the leg thing is situated now... It's not great, but they managed to stop the infection. Rob took it upon himself to flood my phone with photos of his bloody mess of a leg, to "prove" to me that his leg is fine. Even though it looks like a shriveled and dead tree limb with huge gaping bloody wounds, that are actively staining the white linens within the photo. Yes, there is no more liquid and pus, just lots of blood flowing now, but... Seriously, any special effect artist would be PROUD to recreate the way his "leg" looks now, for any horror movie!
BUT, on Sunday, his brain tumor swelled up so much that his eye is drooping, because it is pressing on the optical nerve. Rob's vision is impaired by the tumor and the surgeon wishes to schedule him for brain surgery as soon as possible. They're trying to get a spot for him in the OR and everything set up, but... you know, COVID, so the systems are still bogged down, and the soonest they could get it was in a few days from now. He has to STAY for a few more days to get the brain surgery that he most certainly needs.
And he will... because he has no other choice. =p
In my last post, I explained that Ace and I set an ultimatum to him - if he signs out AMA, he'll have to figure out on his own how to get back to our apartment and how he's going to climb the stairs to the second floor alone. Fat chance of him being successful at either - because he's too weak to sit up on his own, let alone stand on two legs without any help, and he's not been in Minnesota long enough to learn how to travel it yet. (FYI, we're far away from the hospital, in a suburban town many miles away! And he doesn't have any money to pay for that kind of cab fare, even if he wanted to!)
Ace and I are doing a little "tough love", refusing to take him out of medical care, which would be actively helping him to die on our sofa if we did. Nope.
His wife is in FULL and EAGER agreement with this too, along with Rob's social worker as well. The social worker will speak to his new GP about getting a psych eval for him (because the doctor that he praised so much before was harassed and driven up a wall so much - he switched rotation to another floor, just so Rob could stop insisting that he speak with Ace on the phone several times a day and say that it's okay for him to leave the hospital with a huge swollen BRAIN TUMOR in his head!!!)
It's okay... I'm taking a breath. LOL.
So... in order to stop getting his gore-fest photos and his constant calls, still trying to convince me that I'm a better nurse to him than, you know, nurses who went through medical training and all. And trying to hit every pain point in me to get me to cave into what he wants, I blocked his number. Leading up to the blocking, I DID blow up at him on Monday and shouted, "No, you listen to me! Your leg is f**king falling apart! I was peeling off your skin, every time I changed the bandages! Why do you think I'd immediately go back to my room, every time? I went to my room to CRY!" Rob paused, but he didn't care at all, he continued to argue that his leg was NEVER that bad and now that the infection was gone, he should come home... ignoring the swelling BRAIN TUMOR!!!!
I had enough and erupted with, "You're not going to manipulate me, you mother****er!!!" I don't use that swear, usually, as it was my mother's favorite swear. Perhaps, I was channeling a bit of her short temper, at that moment.
Then Rob tried to argue that I can't see very well (trying to use my eye condition against me - I am visually impaired with Keratoconus, yet in my constant blurred vision, I could see his skin sloughing off his wounds anyway. And so did my sister, who isn't visually impaired... nor were his doctors who were shocked and stunned at the state of his leg too, and poor Calvin the head nurse too), that I was seeing his leg "wrong" and "imagining things"... and that's when I hung up and blocked him.
For the past two days... of blissful peace! XD
I went about my day and life as usual while checking in on my sister, from time to time, who was still taking his calls and being driven up a wall.
And the phone block on Rob should have remained...
Tonight, he used the nurse's desk phone to contact me and leave a message on my voicemail. Before he went into the hospital, I had happily presented him with a "house-warming gift". You see, I suffer from PTSD and night terrors (will not get too much into that, just mentioning it for clarity's sake), and my sister bought me a tank with osculating jellyfish in it, to help me sleep better at night. It's a lot pretty, and calming, and it does help me out a lot.
When Rob came to visit us the first time (in far better health than he is currently in and not at all the asshole that we know him to be as now - I know, I know... it's the tumor.), he saw it and thought it was the coolest thing ever. So, I asked my sister to send the link to where she bought the tank, so I that could buy one for Rob when he came back to live with us/seek medical treatment in Minnesota. (That was THE PLAN, after all, that Rob would move in with us for a while and seek medical care here in Minnesota, as he said that our state had better doctors here than in Maryland.)
So tonight, Rob decided to leave me a message, saying that he was sorry and that if he was to go back to Maryland - would it be okay if he took along the jellyfish gift with him? No matter how much of an asshole someone is to me, a gift is a gift. I don't take back gifts, NOT EVER. That's not my style at all. And so, I took him off the phone block to text him just that. Word-for-word.
He wrote back - his words jumbled and misspelled heavily, because of his vision impairments, that was along the lines of "I know that you hate me now." And I replied back, "I don't hate you. I'm just not willing to put up with emotional blackmail bullshit." So then he called me and I kind of KNEW it was a bad mistake to answer, but I did answer...
Immediately, he tried to convince me that he can come home now because there was a "scheduling error" and the doctors said that he can leave for two days and come back for the brain surgery this weekend! This began a shouting match between him and me! LOL! Ace had talked to the doctors and social worker YESTERDAY, who said no such thing. And they keep stressing, if Rob leaves now, it will take at least three whole weeks before he would be able to get in brain surgery. Because, COVID, things are stressed and short-staffed in every hospital.
He will not last that long. He will either die of starvation (as he's not eating meals - and that's not anything new. Ace and I noticed that for a while now, before he went to the hospital, and had asked his wife about it too. She confirmed that Rob wasn't eating much in Maryland either. It may be time for a feeding tube to be introduced soon), or the pressure of the tumor may cause him to have a fatal stroke or other grizzly brain horrors and he'll die on our sofa.
I said to him (and please excuse my swears), "Stop being such a bitch-baby and stay for the surgery!" And he grumbled, "Stop calling me a bitch-baby..." And I literally punched the air, because I was so pissed off, and I snarled, "Okay, I will when you STOP acting like one!!!" Then I realized that I was screaming my head off past midnight, caught myself, and said, "You know what? Ace is in the next room, trying to get some sleep, so she can work in the morning... I'm NOT doing this with you, Rob!"
Then he asked, "B-but... do you still love me, as your brother?" I answered, "Yes, I love you, Rob... even though you're f**king nuts right now!" And he sulked, "I'm not f**king nuts..." Then he said, "Okay, I'll let you and your sister rest tonight then." And... he's back on phone block. I don't think I'll unblock him until AFTER his brain surgery. =p
Fool me once...
Anyway, sorry for this crazy long post! I did try to edit it down, but... so much has happened in the last... *checks notes again* OMG! TWO DAYS, since I last posted here. Seesh! :(
I'll update - AFTER Rob has gone through surgery and is situated. I just needed to vent and blow off some steam... at, currently, 4:30 AM in the morning. I'm hoping that this long af post was at least a little entertaining and provided a few chuckles, at the very least. ;-)
Be excellent to each other. And peace out!

2023.03.29 11:29 PristineAd8082 fire watch "bear"
it was friday and i had nothing to do so i went around town to try to find anything to entertain myself. until i had found in the community hall type of buildinga flyer on their baord that stated "fire watch needed from ages 16 to 50+ at (anonymous forest for privacy)" i took a little card with the number on them and hurried home to tell my parents about it. they were extatic for me because the pay was also alot judging the amount of days i had to work. the first day of work i was told to meet at a little house where they would give me a "tutorial". i was also told that if i recieved calls from hikers that talked about a "goat man" to just igonre it because there was always a group of teenagers trying to start rumours, but if a hiker calls and says hes lost i have to turn on the set of head lights to lead the hiker torwards me, but if he was in serious trouble i could find a page in the manual about how to deal with the ciertan situation. i couldnt have the headlights on for too because of budget problems. as soon as i made it to the tower i was met with a big plastic box with M R E type of food. now that i got that out of the way let me start with the story, they let me have my phone for obvious reasons so i had access to what time it was at all times, most of the time i just stayed in the bed they prepared with my phone on low volume so if i hear anything the sound of the cellphone wouldnt bother the sound of a phone call because the station phone that was used for long distance and had a low ringtone. as soon as the time was 00:00 my parents called me on my cellphone, they sounded very excited and we talked for about 30 minutes before hanging up, as soon as i hung up a shiver went down my spine as i heared the akwardness of the silence i was greeted with. i was gonna think about taking a nap on the bed but as soon as i did.. the phone rang, i answered at 01:23 to a very distressed man as is sounded like he was in a hurry, he told me:"yes hello!? i think im being chased by a bear!" i said "tell me your location and maybe i can direct you torwards me" he said with a more distressed tone now "theres alot of rocks around the trail and uh-" i interupted the man to tell him to lower his tone and calm down "right yeah sorry, uuh theres rocks around the trail and i think i see a climbing wall" i looked at the map and saw the man was rather close to my tower so i turned on the headlights that were directed at the direction of him and asked him if he saw them, he said" yeah i see them but thats the direction the bear was from.. it was like he was trying to lead me from the tower". i flipped the manual and and found the answer i told the man:"ok sir there should be a small gun in the lodge where you get the climbing gear, can you see the lodge" the man with a slightly more happy tone" oh yeah! thanks" he found the gun and made his way as quietly as he could to the tower, but suddenly.. the head lights went out, i heared him say "oh fuuuck" and out of no where i heared him on the call running for his life "ITS NOT A BEAR ITS NOT A BEAR HELP" after he said that i heard two gunshots from the outside of the tower, i told the man" hello sir!? are you there!?" then i heard a loud staticy sound from the phone before it hung up.i knew it was after me next so i ran with the heaviest thing i could find to block the stairway and bairricated the door, i sat in the corner of the room with a rifle and ammunition that was prepared for me. i sat there for 5 whole minutes until i heared scratching on the bottom of tower, for the record this tower was made from thin rusty bars so it was pretty easy to hear if anything was scratching at the bottom of the tower i stayed ther until daytime. i quit immediatley and swore to never go there again.

2023.03.29 11:28 houstontexas2022 How a legal battle over an endangered chicken could reshape the Texas oil industry
| POLITICS How a legal battle over an endangered chicken could reshape the Texas oil industry Edward McKinley March 28, 2023 A lesser prairie chicken is seen amid the bird's annual mating ritual near Milnesand, N.M., on April 8, 2021. A lesser prairie chicken is seen amid the bird's annual mating ritual near Milnesand, N.M., on April 8, 2021.Adrian Hedden/AP A wild chicken species in the Texas Panhandle could stymie the nation’s oil and gas producers, industry insiders fear. After decades of advocacy from environmental groups, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service this week named the lesser prairie chicken as an endangered species. The bird, which lives in grasslands across five states, including the Texas panhandle, once numbered in the millions. Recent estimates suggest there are about 32,000 remaining. RELATED: Big Oil is making billions, but don't expect lower gas prices The bird was previously categorized as endangered in 2014, but a judge repealed that as part of a lawsuit from the Permian Basin Petroleum Association that asked for more time to prove that existing conservation efforts would work. Nearly a decade later, the service is trying once again. Industry groups and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton oppose the move and have sued, claiming the plan in place is working. An endangered species designation triggers stringent conservation rules to protect the animal and its habitat. Existing oil and gas projects, as well as certain renewable energy projects, could be grandfathered in, but new projects could be blocked entirely or require expensive additional permits. “This will add significant time and uncertainty to those permitting requirements," said Ben Shepperd, president of the Permian Basin Petroleum Association. “We’re talking about the most prolific oil field not only in Texas but in North America," he said. "And we think significant portions of oil and gas could be shuddered or negatively impacted, dramatically impacted, in such a way that it would disrupt the state of Texas’ economy, and frankly our national security and our energy security." The listing also affects ranchers, as livestock grazing in certain areas could be harmful to the prairie chickens. Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller lambasted the decision as a power grab and overreach from the Biden Administration, and he suggested it could contribute to rising food costs. The decision to name the bird as endangered was announced last fall. Industry groups, including Shepperd's and several cattle groups, are suing once again to stop the listing. And Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is suing separately on behalf of the agriculture and energy arms of the state government. Are the birds rebounding? The current argument boils down to whether or not the existing conservation plan is working to save the birds. Known as the “rangewide plan,” it’s administered by the Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies, which is comprised of the Texas Department of Fish and Wildlife and its counterparts from other states in the region. The effort began about a decade ago. Critics of the new designation say populations of the bird are either stable or growing, and its habitat is protected. The plan requires oil and gas companies seeking to develop land in the chicken’s habitat to invest in conservation efforts elsewhere to cancel out the damage from their projects. David Yoskowitz, director of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, also disagreed with the decision, writing, "We believe that the listing decision jeopardizes years of voluntary conservation efforts by landowners and industry." But the national Fish and Wildlife Service said that active oil and gas wells in the chickens' habitat have increased by more than 80 percent over the last 10 years, a significant threat. "Voluntary conservation efforts have helped conserve key habitat for the lesser prairie-chicken," the agency wrote in its announcement of its listing decision, "but have not demonstrated an ability to offset the threats and reverse the trends of habitat loss and fragmentation facing the lesser prairie-chicken." An internal audit, which was shared as part of a federal public comment period, said the plan is on track to run out of money in the coming years, in part because funds were diverted from their intended purpose. For instance, it said, the Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies borrowed money from the supposedly permanent conservation fund, spending some on paying staff and more on a new, $650,000 headquarters building in Boise, Idaho, which is nowhere near the habitat for lesser prairie chickens. Michael Robinson, a senior conservation advocate with the Center for Biological Diversity, described the rangewide plan as a “scam.” “We’ve had a chance to actually look at how that plan that was supposed to obviate the need for a listing has played out,” he said. “It’s shocking, and the lesser prairie chicken has lost a great deal of habitat that was not replaced.” Robinson's group, which has since the 1990s petitioned the federal government to name the bird as endangered, says the chicken's habitat has declined over the past decade and that oil and gas companies are generating “phantom” restoration credits without actually preserving any habitat. For example, the group argued that the rangewide plan claimed to have restored 8,000 acres of chicken habitat by thinning out shinnery oak. But according to academic studies, those trees are “critical to conservation of some populations of prairie chickens.” “The lesser prairie chicken has been on a downward trajectory for a long time, and with that and many other species, it takes years and even decades to recover them," Robinson said.

2023.03.29 11:28 kepler360 Blockchain and IoT: Redefining Trust in the Digital Age Infograins
The utilization of the Internet of Things (IoT) is drastically changing how businesses conduct operations through the integration of sensors and other edge devices and infrastructure. The profound use of IoT presents a substantial challenge to enterprises, as they must ensure information security at all levels of the IoT system. Data security has become complex as the number of interconnected devices has increased.
Blockchain development solutions are aiding in the prevention of security vulnerabilities in an IoT system.
Before exploring the integration of IoT and Blockchain, let's discover the details of the blockchain and IoT.
IoT is a network of physical devices, vehicles, buildings, and other objects embedded with sensors, software, and network connectivity, allowing them to collect and exchange data. On the other hand, blockchain is a decentralized, distributed ledger technology that allows for secure and transparent record-keeping.
It is possible to develop a highly secure and transparent data management system by integrating the Internet of Things (IoT) with blockchain technology. For instance, blockchain can create an unalterable record of IoT device data, offering a reliable and transparent audit trail. This application is especially critical for applications such as supply chain management, where the accuracy and precision of data are of utmost importance.
In addition, blockchain development solutions can provide secure access control for IoT devices, preventing unauthorized access and ensuring that only authorized parties can access the data generated by these devices. This factor is crucial for applications such as healthcare, where patient data must be kept confidential and secure.

2023.03.29 11:26 Vegetable-Argument49 HUMAN RIGHTS: Human rights in Ukraine still ‘dire’ amid wide-ranging violations: OHCHR on GEO´
The human rights situation in Ukraine as Russia continues its military campaign following last year’s full-scale invasion, remains dire, according to a new report released on Friday by the UN human rights office (OHCHR) covering the six months to the end of January.
“The international armed conflict has led to a wide range of human rights violations affecting both civilians and combatants”, the executive summary states, adding that the Office has “verified numerous allegations of arbitrary deprivation of life, arbitrary detention and enforced disappearance, torture and ill-treatment, and conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV).”
During the reporting period, a total of 5,987 civilian casualties were recorded, with 1,605 persons killed and 4,382 persons injured. Casualty numbers are likely far higher, as they only include verified incidents. A large number of civilian casualties resulted from attacks involving explosive weapons with wide area effects.
“The war has taken a heavy toll on civilians, with acts of hostilities killing groups of individuals and in some cases multiple members of the same families at once”, the summary states

2023.03.29 11:25 wahooo92 How common/rare do you think ADHD actually is?
The official rate is 6% in adults and 10% in kids, but those are those that have the means to get professionally diagnosed (and doesn't account for under diagnosed demographics like women).
Recently a childhood friend posted about having it, and it spurred me to actually list down every loved one I had who I knew had ADHD Out of curiosity. Out of about the 100 people I care about, about 40% have it. Mind you I don't know for some if they're properly diagnosed or not, but these are people who are confident they have it, not saying it in a flippant/humorous way.
That number really surprised me. Do you guys think ADHD is under or over diagnosed? What has your personal experience been?
Disclaimer I don't have ADHD myself, but have a partner and as stated a LOT of loved ones who do.

2023.03.29 11:19 RussoSwerves How would mass media (specifically news and journalism) function in an anarchist society? Would it even exist?
I was watching Folding Ideas new video all around the socio-ecological system of the Metaverse and specifically one tragicomical example of such a Metaverse - Decentraland. It functions really well as a continuation of his deep-dive into the Anarcho-capitalist culture surrounding NFTs.
One part of the video that really stimulated some curiosity was a bit at the 44 min. mark that gets into sth. Decentraland was trying to implement. The Decentralized News Network. Not to get lost in too many details, in summary, the Ancap way of implementing it absolutely sucked.
But I am curious as to how you all may think about the concept of a "decentralized CNN" in an anarchist society. There´s a lot for me to think about, the biggest thing being the relationship of such a large-scale institution to the people, with the ideas of it simultaneously being accountable to the public but also maintaining independence for proper journalism´s sake being issues that need to get sorted out. Any hierarchical society with willingness to coerce and compromise may come up with a complacent answer, but anarchists... I really wonder what you guys think. It seems like a really messy subject for us.
Dan Olson in his video doesn´t offer a solution either (not that he needed to), instead just criticizing Decentraland´s DNN specifically.
My thought has been that maybe the messiness is just too much to handle and instead of having any institutions with a responsibility towards a large, maybe global number of people, everything is more localized and you just have people blogging their lived experiences on Mastodon, with journalists/journalistic institutions as we know them - general experts on fact-gathering and reporting - not existing. But I also know that anarchism is not *necessarily* against globalization and large-scale operation and also doesn´t reject specialized expertise ("...I refer to the authority of the bootmaker") in a way that would make journalists as we know them incompatible with an anarchist world.
So I´m torn and don´t know what to think, but I want to see what you all have to say before I settle on that state of mind.

2023.03.29 11:16 StepwiseUndrape574 Fans speculate about the location of GTA 6
As fans eagerly await the release of Grand Theft Auto 6, speculation about the game's setting and location continues to grow. While Rockstar Games has been tight-lipped about the game's development, fans have been scouring the internet for clues.
One popular theory is that the game will be set in Vice City, the fictional Miami-inspired city that was featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. This theory is based on a number of clues, including a cryptic tweet from Rockstar Games that featured an image of a palm tree with the words "KIFFLOM" written on it. This phrase has appeared in previous games in the series and is associated with a cult that is based in the game's version of Los Angeles.
Other theories suggest that the game could take place in a new location entirely, possibly even outside of the United States. Some have suggested that the game could be set in Tokyo, Japan, or even in a fictional version of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Regardless of where the game is set, fans can be sure that Rockstar Games will create a rich, immersive world full of interesting characters and compelling storylines. And for those who can't wait to get their hands on GTA 6, GTA 5 Modder 👑 Buy gta 5 accounts

2023.03.29 11:13 PearMaleficent7333 Need advice
I need advice on how to deal with a really unfortunate situation. I met a Pakistani man online about 2.5 years ago and he seemed really compatible with me. He was completing his PhD in the States at the time but after he successfully defended his thesis, he had to leave the country and go back to Pakistan. He asked me if I would like to marry him and live with him in the country. Although I had only been to the country a handful of times and the most I lived there was for two months when I was 12, I agreed to join him. We got married. But I noticed that he started changing. He would spend 10-15 hours with his mother who would not allow me cook, but would get me to wash the dishes and clean the house. When I finished washing the dishes, she would tell me to go upstairs. Everything revolved around her and my husband and I would get to see eachother at the end of the night. I grew irritated because I would end up spending up to 10 hours all by myself. To add to my dismay my husband didn’t take me anywhere after we got married. Not even for a walk outside. We would have to live everyday according to his mother’s schedule. I ended up getting very frustrated and started questioning him. And when his mother noticed the heated exchange, she used the opportunity to accuse me of pushing her, which did not happen. She swore it did and used it as an excuse to kick me out. I was shocked that a) husband didn’t defend me and b) this type of thing can still happens in Pakistan. Now that I’m back to Canada, my husband isn’t responding to my phone calls or messages. However, he did apologize to me before he dropped me off at the airport. He never spoke about how important his mother was before marriage, but suddenly she’s become an incredibly important figure in the marriage, so much so, that he obeys her blindly. The only reason I can think off that has brought these changes in him is because he’s heavily dependent on his mother financially because he can’t find a job. I need advice on how to navigate this situation because it seems cultural and frankly I’m to embarrassed to tell/ask my friends. This has never happened in my family or anyone I know for the matter and I’m shocked that it happened to me.

2023.03.29 11:06 Militys Creep at Arby's
This is a memory that has been seared into my brain and I do not think that I could forget it even if I wanted to. This happened many years ago and I have a rather shite long term memory so the fact it sticks is telling.
Growing up my father was very protective of me and always made sure I knew what to do in case I was ever held at gunpoint or someone tried to abduct me. He had me in Tai Kwon Do classes and watched me like a hawk until I got a little older. I was around thirteen years old when this event happened and had stopped worrying about being abducted because in my mind, "Nobody abducts teenage boys."
At the time we lived in a small border town with most of the inhabitants being retirees and soldiers from the base. The crime rate was low and the town was very quiet and peaceful which also helped to aide my assurance that nothing would ever happen to me. It was just before Halloween and my mother had left town to go back to our home state and left my dad with the instructions to buy me a Halloween costume.
On this Saturday we were relaxing around the house as we normally did when my mother left, likely watching movies or television or playing video games too loud with no one to complain about the noise. We eventually got hungry and left for Arby's for lunch before heading to Spirit Halloween to costume shop. At this point in my life I had lived a relatively quiet life aside from some racist encounters and minor bullying so I was used to the lack of conflict.
Upon entering Arby's I immediately noticed an older man with tanned skin. His hair was salt and pepper and thinning at the top. His face was clean shaven and he had sort of generic brown eyes. His presence was off putting immediately as he stared deeply at me never once looking away. His stare was intense and made me very uncomfortable, my first assumption was that he was a racist and was upset over us being there.
We set our stuff down at a table with the old man still glaring at me. My father and brother got up to fill their drinks and left me alone at the table. His eyes did not move from me when they left and stayed permanently affixed to me. I knew at this point it likely was not a race thing and my stomach churned at the thought of being oggled by a pedophile. He never once ate while watching me and just sat silently at his table by himself, I do not even recall food being in front of him. I was horried. Lunch was miserable and completely ruined by this man and I was too frightened to say anything to my dad.
We left for Spirit and I asked them if they noticed anything off or weird about the man in the restaurant with us. Neither of them had noticed anything off about him so I neglected to press further. The entire time while shopping for a costume I could not stop thinking about being in Arby's and ended up just picking out a mask that I had a passing interest in.
The memory plagued my mind for the remainder of the day and had ruined my night too. My bedroom was on the second floor of the house but the paranoia was deeply set. I closed my window for fear of him somehow having followed us and crawling into my room while I slept. That entire week I had a rather miserable time trying to sleep, lying awake in bed thinking about the dark feeling that that man put off. It would not be for years until I was able to sleep with my window open again all from this one encounter.

2023.03.29 11:05 kepler360 Blockchain and IOT: Redefining Trust in the Digital Age Infograins
| The utilization of the Internet of Things (IOT) is drastically changing how businesses conduct operations through the integration of sensors and other edge devices and infrastructure. The profound use of IOT presents a substantial challenge to enterprises, as they must ensure information security at all levels of the IOT system. Data security has become complex as the number of interconnected devices has increased. Blockchain development solutions are aiding in the prevention of security vulnerabilities in an IOT system. Before exploring the integration of IOT and Blockchain, let's discover the details of the blockchain and IOT. https://preview.redd.it/tszw72t38nqa1.png?width=900&format=png&auto=webp&s=6aad5ca9b00ff6e7055a36fe3f930a5dfb186833 IOT is a network of physical devices, vehicles, buildings, and other objects embedded with sensors, software, and network connectivity, allowing them to collect and exchange data. On the other hand, blockchain is a decentralized, distributed ledger technology that allows for secure and transparent record-keeping. It is possible to develop a highly secure and transparent data management system by integrating the Internet of Things (IOT) with blockchain technology. For instance, blockchain can create an unalterable record of IOT device data, offering a reliable and transparent audit trail. This application is especially critical for applications such as supply chain management, where the accuracy and precision of data are of utmost importance. In addition, blockchain development solutions can provide secure access control for IOT devices, preventing unauthorized access and ensuring that only authorized parties can access the data generated by these devices. This factor is crucial for applications such as healthcare, where patient data must be kept confidential and secure.

2023.03.29 11:03 fedja Subreddit moderation concerning AI tools
Hi everyone,
As I'm sure you've all noticed, digital marketing is turning itself inside out coming to terms with AI and how it impacts our work. Lately, I've seen a flood of AI "tools" being promoted that advertise AI solutions for this and that, from text to imagery, and more.
First of all, this subreddit was created to exist as a watercooler safe space for digital marketers who don't have anyone in their company or circle of friends to discuss their professional challenges. And our 1st and most important rule is no solicitation. There are no sales pitches at the watercooler, and even actual advice is suspect the moment it's attached to "and this thing you can buy will solve your problems".
I'm happy to reconsider the above and tweak (minimally) this rule if the community has a different point of view (comment below), but for now, that's the state of things.
Now to the issue at hand
I'd like to urge everyone to learn to use AI, as it's going to be an unavoidable tool in our arsenal going forward but to be weary about the deluge of tools that claim to perform miracles.
There are a handful of AIs good enough to use today (ChatGPT and Midjourney being well-known examples), as well as an absolute dumpster fire of front-end interfaces that query the aforementioned AIs via API. I've tried a dozen, and they rarely add significant value beyond what the core tools themselves do.

2023.03.29 10:55 StepwiseUndrape574 Grand Theft Auto V Loads Up To 92 Percent Faster On PS5 Than PS4 In Early Tests
Grand Theft Auto V is notable for all kinds of reasons. It's the most expensive video game ever made, and also one of the very most successful, by any measure. It sold so well that Rockstar kept the online service for the 7th-generation (PS3 and Xbox 360) releases of the game going from release in 2013 until late last year. It had moved over 150 million copies as of last August, in fact.
That number has surely gone up since then, and it's probably going to continue going up for years to come thanks to the updated re-release that's now available on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles. We've already written about what's included in the re-release, but the short version is that it adds higher-quality assets, ray-traced lighting, and 60 FPS options to the exclusively-30-FPS console releases.

Unfortunately, another notable aspect of GTA V is its interminable loading times, especially on the consoles. Well, arguably the biggest change this console generation has been the move to solid-state storage instead of the spinning rust used previously. Both families of 9th-generation game consoles support disk I/O tens of thousands of times faster than the 8th-generation consoles.
Naturally the new release of GTA V reaps the benefits of that in its load times. Over at IGN, they put the new release through its paces and found that load times are drastically improved across the board. Selecting "replay mission" can find load times as much as 75% faster on the new system, while loading autosaves was slashed from over two minutes to around 20 seconds on Sony's latest machine.

As showcased in IGN's video, the difference upon starting a new game is even more mind-blowing. On the PlayStation 4, it took 2 minutes and 18 seconds to load from the menu to the new-game heist sequence. Performing the same operation on the PlayStation 5 took just eleven seconds. The player was able to get halfway through the mission on the PS5 by the time the older system finished loading.
We feel it's likely that this enormous improvement isn't merely the work of the fancy SSD, but also that of the PS5's potent Zen 2 CPU cores as well as some software optimizations. Players of GTA Online may recall that an enterprising developer found a simple optimization (arguably, a bugfix) that slashed loading times by 75%. Rockstar even paid out a bug bounty to the developer.
We still haven't heard back from Rockstar on when or if these improvements will be finding their way to the PC version of the game, nor whether there will be a charge for the update if they do. It seems likely that Rockstar is gauging the playerbase's reaction to such a thing. You can pick up the refreshed release on PS5 for $10 right now, or on Xbox Series XS for $20, but both prices will rise to $40 after three months, so get while the getting's good if you're not willing to wait a few years for GTA 6.

2023.03.29 10:54 ItsCyno New Insights into Thargoid Artefacts - Inter-species Communications Research
| YKE Technologies has recently compiled new findings regarding Thargoid technology, shedding light on the intricate inner workings of these complex artefacts. Using rudimentary analysis techniques, and their eyeballs, YTEC xenobiologists have discovered previously undocumented details about the physical structure and potential function of Thargoid artefacts. Unfortunately YTEC was forced to 'start from scratch' due to the proprietary nature of Thargoid research among larger organizations. We are grateful that Canonn Interstellar Research Group was gracious enough to compile their research for all to see. The study itself primarily focused on the physical structure of the artefacts themselves, with the intention of identifying any visible patterns. Three main sections were identified: The Core, the Segments, and the Fragments. Sensor Visual Analysis + Link Comparison. Routine structural comparisons were also made between the rattle of an ancient Earth snake and the Segment columns, since they both share a similar visual profile. The Core is the main component of a Thargoid Artefact, with three known cores labeled internally as Sensor, Link and Probe. The bulk of the study was directed towards the correlation between Cores, specifically the Link & Sensor Cores. The primary intention was to redefine how we view these Artefacts. - The Sensor Core appears to contain an unusual transmitter which collects unparsable data and transmits it directly to an unknown location. When free-floating in space, the Core itself will orient towards the Merope system, specifically planet 5 C. Notably found near Thargoid wreckage sites.
- The Probe Core appears to relay information from one source to another, depending on what is nearby. When free-floating in space, the Core will also orient towards the Merope 5 C, mirroring the Sensor Core's behavior. The Probe Core will react to your Discovery scanner by slowly charging to release an EMP, which temporarily disables control of your vessel. Based on what we know about the Discovery Scanner, and what can be observed during this reaction, YTEC personnel suspects that data is passively 'flowing' through the device at all times. The Discovery Scanner overloads the device, resulting in destruction. We were unable to determine if the EMP was an intentional action. Notably found near Ammonia Worlds.
- The Link Core appears to be capable of storing & triangulating information, as it can be utilized to locate nearby Thargoid Surface Sites. The Link Core must be inserted into a Thargoid Uplink Device alongside a Probe & Sensor Core to "download" the location data. These Uplink devices are found within the center of active Thargoid surface sites. Link Cores are only produced within Thargoid Surface sites. Notably the only Thargoid Artefact capable of transmitting messages to the comms menu, which could indicate it's purpose.
Segments are short cylindrical structures that appear to attach directly underneath the Core, typically in a column of four. Each segment contains at-least three Fragments that serve as the sensory components of the device. These Segments & Fragments are only visible on the Link & Sensor Core. This could provide clearer insight into their purpose. Since these Fragments are consistent across both Link and Sensor Cores, it would be reasonable to assume their purpose is to receive data. An active Sensor Core should hold up to twelve Fragments when fully powered. If these Fragments become detached, you are able to collect them as Engineering materials, denoted as \"Sensor Fragments\" when harvested. Professor Palin seems to have identified a way to interface with these Fragments, as demonstrated in the image above. Unfortunately the bulk of Palin's research is hidden behind closed doors, presumably banned from public view. This has a significant impact on Inter-species Communications Research. A minimum of four Fragments can be attached for the Sensor Core to reach minimum operational capacity. These are typically found planet-side, denoted in the contacts panel as a Non-Human Signature. This behavior indicates the Sensor Core is still outputting a signal of some kind since our vessels were able to detect it. If the Sensor or Fragments become inactive, their internal glow fades, rendering the system nonfunctional. Furthermore, the YTEC team observed that active Sensor & Link Cores always contain Segments & Fragments. The researchers noted that the number of Fragments in each Segment may vary depending on circumstance as stated above, suggesting that Artefacts may have different functions or capabilities depending on their configuration. Only the Sensor Cores appear to have Fragment count variation. The study provides new insights into the physical structure of Thargoid artefacts, revealing intricate patterns and functions. The findings open up new avenues for research and development, particularly in the field of Inter-species communications technology, and could potentially lead to advancements in various Pro-xeno industries. In conclusion: - Thargoid Artefacts are comprised of three main parts:
- The Core is the main component of a Thargoid Artefact, with three known cores labeled internally as Sensor, Link and Probe
- Segments are short disc-like structures that appear to attach directly underneath the Core, typically in a column of four.
- Fragments are cylindrical structures serve as the sensory components of the device, attached onto the Segments.
- The Probe Core does not contain Segments, or Fragments.
- Data could be passively 'flowing' through the Probe Core at all times, like a relay.
- Discovery Scanner overloads the system, resulting in detonation / EMP.
- Fragments appear to have three identifiable states:
- Active Fragments can be interfaced with, according to research from Professor Palin.
- Artefact purpose may be derived from comparative circumstance.
- They have different functions or capabilities depending on their configuration
- There will always be four Segments attached to the Sensor Core
- In an active configuration, each Segment will contain a trio of Fragments, for a total of 12 Fragments.
- In a planet-side configuration, the Sensor Core is able to run on minimum capacity. Only four Fragments required.
- There will always be eight segments attached to the Link Core
- Each Segment will always contain three fragments, for a total of 24 fragments.
- The design of both the Segment & Fragment induces structural modularity, enabling the Thargoids to interchange parts as they see fit.
As humanity continues to interact with the Thargoids on a deeper level, an intricate understanding of their technology aside from how to destroy it will undoubtedly be invaluable. submitted by ItsCyno to EliteDangerous [link] [comments] |
