Can this be explained by screening? i.e. they actively screen for breast cancer so they're going to find it even in cases where it wouldn't have ever affected the patient.
I haven't read the link (not in the mood to parse it) but that's my gut reaction to the title. I highly recommend this video by Medlife Crisis https://youtube.com/watch?v=yNzQ_sLGIuA (also on Nebula) that explains the flaws of screening, it's approachable and it's a fun watch if you're into YouTube edutainment stuff.
This is completely wrong. The bottom left one should be in all caps
Really? I can believe I was misinformed/taught wrong, but can you back that up? Online results are split.
I don't think these would be happy in a dishwasher
Can I both upvote and downvote you? Seems most appropriate
To be fair, printers today come in all shapes and sizes and don't necessarily look that different from the icons I see.
AFAIK the only thing VPN providers let you do, like SurfShark, ExpressVPN, NordVPN, ProtonVPN etc., is to route all of your outgoing traffic through their servers. They don't allow you e.g. to be in the the same fake LAN as a friend, which is what a VPN does.
Quote from Wikipedia:
A proxy server that passes unmodified requests and responses is usually called a gateway or sometimes a tunneling proxy.
That's pretty much what those commercial "VPN" providers offer.
No problem, just use a VPN to connect to it from another country! Wait.....
I hate how the ‘VPN’ term has been took over by companies selling services using VPN technology.
Agreed. What they're really selling is a proxy service, I don't know why that term isn't used. The fact that VPN software is used to establish that proxy isn't relevant, the end result is a proxy.
What exactly do you mean by "scammers and thieves"? The only protection you get from a VPN is privacy from your ISP. That ISP obviously operates in your country (there has to be some physical connection) and is regulated by your government. It's easy for the government to demand data from the ISP about you (or about certain usage patterns and which users have them) without you knowing, not to mention how easy it is for the ISP itself to monetize your usage data.
A scammer or thief can't as easily grab hold of that data. If you're imagining a hacker gaining access to the ISP's database or network, that's certainly plausible but it's just as possible with a VPN provider. I personally don't think the big commercial VPNs are much more secure than ISPs. Maybe a little.
I think you have the axes reversed..? Or maybe I didn't get the joke? The technical needs are caused by higher technical ability, so the ability should be the x axis and the needs should be y.
I don't know the answer and I'm not taking a side, but considering how Reddit has never been profitable, I don't understand how it even still exists. Where does the money come from to keep it running? This question applies to all non-profitable platforms. We know that the executives surely get their inflated paychecks, as do the employees, and the servers keep running (often better than sustainable alternatives), yet the company never makes a profit... How does that work?
Given that it's obviously not sustainable, I can understand why "just be happy with that they've created" isn't an option, but that's the only thing I understand... Everything else is a complete mystery to me.
I use Discord a lot and I think about this often.
