I don't like the idea of recurring payments especially for something I'm not actively using because then I have to remember to shut it off at some point.
Maybe you decide $10/mo is such a small number (the price of two coffees in any country where I’ve lived over the past 15 years) that you’re happy to keep on donating at the end of one year?
What, like I'm going to remember a year in advance to look into this? I'm willing to donate a little to things on rare occasions but I don't think I would do it this way because I don't want an accumulation of little monthly payments I have stopped thinking about draining my finances.
The thrust of this article seems to be that the important thing is that automatic transcription services be compliant with unspecified "governance standards". It goes on to give a generally glowing review of a specific medical transcription service:
This software, Accurx Scribe, has been developed and deployed in line with all current NHS England requirements for AVT, and there is no suggestion this product breaches any rules, standards or guidance.
Indeed, the company which developed it meets weekly with NHS England on creating a standardised approach to scale the benefits across the NHS.
However their website seems to indicate that their privacy practices are garbage as transcriptions are implied to happen on company servers:
At Accurx, our employees may need to see patient data that we store for for strictly limited purposes.
This seems pretty absurd to me since the technology is at the point where effective on-device transcription is a reality. Why look at whether bureaucrats have rubber stamped something instead of looking at the actual commonsense properties of who has access to the data? That could easily be the doctor and no one else. The question of what constitutes good security and privacy isn't even something this article wants to bring up for consideration.
The article brings up good criticisms, like all the minors getting molested due to the platform being negligent, and manipulative in game spending options. Paying for online content creation work doesn't seem as bad as that to me though.
Maybe they were intending green guy to be more discriminating, but he planned to double cross them. Or just another layer of miscommunication on top of the cake mixup.
The way I understand it, avoiding being in the same room is ideal, but the main thing is just not actually being in bed when you're browsing the internet or whatever
Firefox protects your privacy by running AI models directly on your device, ensuring your sensitive data remains local
Good enough for me. The privacy problem with AI is when they are web services you send all your data to for processing. If that isn't happening, that problem is fully solved.
The whole idea that the skin color of your grandchildren being out of your hands is somehow comparable to ethnic cleansing is so twisted and whiny. Like they think it's important not only that people be biologically related to them, but also not be related to others, and if they aren't getting this then it's a violent imposition, even where nobody is being forced or coerced in any way.
When I started doing home maintenance stuff I thought, $10 seems like a lot when the other stuff probably works just as good as silicone caulk. Turns out no, silicone is really good at keeping water out and other options are often useless.
otoh there are plenty of situations where a state or culture would prefer that you kill yourself and actively expresses that preference. The need to dispose of a body isn't really that much inconvenience relatively speaking.
For me the most effective tip has been, don't spend time in bed/bedroom other than for sleeping, that way your body will take the cue from your surroundings and recognize it's sleep time.
Ms. Chatman was struck, in part, by her own experiences at the school in contrast to Mr. Damsky’s award. She had proposed teaching a class during her time there called “Race, Entrepreneurship and Inequality.” But administrators at the law school changed the name to “Entrepreneurship,” she said, before listing it in the course catalog.
She attributed the change to Florida lawmakers’ crackdown on diversity-oriented language and themes in public education, a push that preceded the Trump administration’s broader war on progressive ideology.
Sounds like the college agrees, though maybe not about which ones
This is a multiplayer freemium game though, I don't think there are any cracked servers for it, and supposedly there are options for Epic users to retain their accounts with things they've bought (the game is also apparently kind of p2w).
I'd like to offer the counterpoint that someone once advised me not to try weed until after I'd tried LSD, I followed that advice and I think it turned out for the better. There isn't exactly a benefit to being very impressed by the intensity of other drug experiences, and psychedelics can give you a sense of perspective about what you want out of life that's useful for navigating choices. They also tend to be self-deterring; you likely will feel more satisfied and grateful to have your feet on solid ground again after a trip, as opposed to immediately craving more, even if it was wonderful, which is a very convenient property many other drugs lack.
