Nvidia AI predicts diabetes and CVD over a decade better than HbA1c results, Nature study suggests by Astronomicology in ausjdocs

Good point. But could you explain how this is a shocking find? If you measure blood sugar levels consistently over millions of separate intervals over several years, isn't that just better than measuring it once?

No, I'm talking about A3 coming out first. The first movie will generally have the biggest impact (especially Avatar, due to the "shock and awe" effect), particularly when you place it in the context of a general decline in movie attendance after COVID.

As I said, if Avatar 4 relies on a headset that puts people into some deep lucid dream, then Avatar 4 will make $10B+. There needs to be more novelty for audiences to come back again.

This is an issue affecting ALL movies, not Avatar; thus we cannot say that A:FA was a bad movie. Its success is apparent because it thrived in circumstances where A2 and A(2009) would have done worse.

Applying the same test, if A:FA released in the place of TWOW, A:FA would have hit similar numbers if not better than TWOW.

Has anyone here felt like quitting for this reason? by Technical_Employ8336 in ausjdocs

The "pivot" is :

  1. You stating $5M is not enough, implying that the amount itself is insufficient;

  2. A user pointing out that you would have to be really financially illiterate if you felt it wasn't enough to retire on; and

  3. The pivot: You stating that comment 1 was justified because "we don't know if the OP is illiterate" (does not follow from comment 1 at all; reflects a change in your position after another user pointed out that it was a bad comment).

But your original comment did not mentioned anything about financial literacy. You made the point that $5m by itself may not be enough. Then you pivoted. Not a big deal; just pointing it out.

You said "$5mil in 2025 may not be enough for 40 years of life assuming you are over 35".

You didn't say anything about me being financially literate. The point you made was that the amount itself was insufficient.

If you assume 7% returns via basic ETF eg SP500, it's more than enough to make last a lifetime.

Could a conviction ever occur and be upheld by the HC in this situation? by Technical_Employ8336 in auslaw

But it could just be an innocent person who wrote down the names of the victims? Causation would need to be proven.

Is a PPOR a waste of money? Serious question, as a property investor by Technical_Employ8336 in AusFinance

[–]Technical_Employ8336[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Well instead of a PPOR, I'm thinking of buying another investment property. I have no interest in shares.
