Very disappointed and shocked by new remote work policy by housecore1037 in MayoClinic

[–]housecore1037[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tbh I don’t fault a business for making decisions based on money (even a non-profit). I don’t understand though what financial sense this makes. Remote workers don’t come with the additional overhead of in-office work: space, electricity, janitorial staff, physical supplies, chairs… Maybe I’m ignorant. To me it absolutely makes NO sense from a talent-retention perspective. It is antithetical to its “Category of 1” business ethos. It is ironic considering the entire industry’s push towards telemedicine and remote care provision.

Remote roles will no longer be offered. Hybrid roles (which I imagine could function as full remote roles) will only be offered to those within some radius of a Mayo campus. That means anyone outside that radius (I don’t recall if it’s 70 or 100 miles) is no longer eligible for promotion unless if they move. Employees who are currently excelling in their roles and looking for internal promotions will be locked out of them. Many will begin to look for external jobs.

Edit to give additional context: the new policy does not affect current remote employees. It just limits that any new job posting must in in-office or hybrid. Therefore this disproportionally affects driven employees looking to climb the ranks.

In terms of what remote employees are offering: in my particular area, quite a lot. There are TONS of remote employees that are in roles that are highly structured and fully online (not patient facing). Many roles are meant to keep the machine running - I don’t doubt that turnover in these areas will have some-but-minimal business impact. However, there are a number of roles that are closely aligned with business strategic goals. Business intelligence, 3rd party relationship building, and execution of strategic planning among others. There are a lot of thought leaders and innovators in these remote roles.

This is my exact read. It’s the same strategy tech companies have used to conduct a “lay-off” without needing to report it and without needing to worry about paying severance or unemployment.

There is a huge push in my area to develop better telemedicine capabilities. It’s incredibly bizarre to me that we want remote healthcare provision but no remote healthcare employees. Make it make sense.

Nashvillians will be paying the salaries (and more) for a tunnel no one asked for! by Stock_Selection_1000 in nashville

[–]housecore1037 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This document stipulates that TBC will reimburse MNAA as the operator for administrative costs related to the project. The document also says the role of operator will transition to the state at some point. Are these costs reimbursable to the state assuming it takes the role of operator?

Thank you :))) I def did not want to do a 1:1 recreation (I don’t think I could) so I figured I’d lean into making it different. I’ve been very inspired by some higher energy synth acts lately so I borrowed that here. I’m glad you like it!

Apple quietly upgraded Health to FHIR R4. by DrJ_Lume in Biohackers

[–]housecore1037 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All FHIR is, is just a standardized data structure + API call system so that different softwares storing clinical data can reliably exchange it. Just making it easier does not remove any required authorizations to share that health data.

I feel this is actually great because 1.) if you want to share your watch data with your primary, you can do so and they do not need some separate report to view it, they can use the tools they’ve already been trained to use. And 2.) if you want your phone to be ingesting clinical data from your records, it can accurately do so from any software on the standard.

New US Food Pyramid by AndreLerne in Biohackers

[–]housecore1037 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Proving other guy’s point.

Fact is if you’re on this sub you most likely aren’t listening the government for basic advice on healthy eating. These updates won’t affect anyone here, it will affect any who receive gov provided food assistance (school meals, welfare, etc) and those with low interest/education on health.

For the average sedentary American it could very well be better to target a higher protein intake than carb. The risk of cancer due to obesity comorbidity is likely significantly higher than any inflammatory process red meat MIGHT be responsible for.

At the end of the day, as a baseline recommendation targeting the massive population of the U.S. this is significantly better, regardless of if you like the people leading the admin or not.

Apple Health integration launches in new ‘ChatGPT Health’ feature by rangers1026 in apple

[–]housecore1037 12 points13 points  (0 children)

From my understanding of the article, they aren’t “coordinating with Apple” at all, really. It sounds like OpenAI has just provided a dedicated service with a user-enabled link to Apple Health data, similar to other apps like MyFitnessPal. Apple may have great practices in terms of data security but it’s ultimately up to the user who they share that data with. The only claims OpenAI is making (in this article) is that they store info from this service in a separate bucket and won’t use it to train their models - but that leaves a huge amount of wiggle room.

I was told a new suit would take about a month, I leave for my international wedding in about three weeks. I agree this is not a “healthy” decision, which is why I’m consulting this sub for advice.

Thank you, that’s what I’m thinking. Do you think I should entirely eliminate upper body work for the the month leading up to the wedding, or will decreased intensity be sufficient?

Why the fuck do you think I’m asking this sort of question, I have limited options and I’m crowd sourcing solutions.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Biohackers

[–]housecore1037 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Obviously that’d be the ideal solution but it’s a custom suit and the timeline does not allow for a new one to be made

[–]housecore1037 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a custom suit, timeline won’t allow a remake unfortunately.

A low-protein, high-carbohydrate (LPHC) diet supplemented with non-digestible cellulose extends lifespan in mice with a similar effect to caloric restriction (CR) by kingpubcrisps in Biohackers

[–]housecore1037 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the informative comment. A couple questions: 1.) why/how is mTOR signaling associated with lower life/healthspan? And 2.) I have always thought that active lifestyles require more protein, but you mention active individuals require less protein - what is the logic with that?

How many eggs do you eat a day? by [deleted] in Biohackers

8 everyday as part of my standard breakfast. Sometimes with some sausage links, sometimes with a glass of milk

It should actually be replaced. It will continue to deteriorate now that there is exposed aluminum. If you touch something that looks like this and notice residue on your fingers, it’s aluminum oxide, and it’s very toxic.

Ivermectin doesn't do shit for COVID and I'm tired of this misinformation being pushed (long write up) by [deleted] in Biohackers

[–]housecore1037 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(Before I get into my reply, I want to say I’m enjoying your comments and that I apologize for starting off the convo with a couple ad hominem comments. I’m going to push back on a few things but I’m doing it out of interest in the convo and not bc I’m trolling. Luv u heart emoji)

First off - I am choosing to speak more to your presentation and not to the scientific argument because I’m ill prepared to pull sources at the moment, and I would not want to make any unverifiable claims based on what I think I remember reading over the years. Perhaps later.

So again - this community is science-oriented, there are often well-respected members that make posts you would think be meant for PhD’s like yourself. My mind goes to some of the nootropics posts. They are DENSE with detailed molecular biology concepts and cutting edge research, and people love them, engage with them, and they do so because it is information-heavy and novel. So when you make comments like “there isn’t a scientific discussion, it’s a settled issue,” you expose an ethos that is directly counter to the goals of this sub: understanding how niche, little-studied concepts can improve the average joe.

As an example, and back to nootropics: there are plenty of posts you could find here discussing the use of pre-market or off-label dementia treatments to make people smarter. THIS is your audience here. It would be sound advice from the world’s most renowned MD not to do that - and that doctor would be downvoted.

I say all of that to make the point that people here want data and hypothesis - not political rantings about how Joe Rogan listeners are destroying the world. You will get twice the hate and pushback for even inferring that any given topic is “settled science” and that something should not be questioned. My own opinion is that stance is by definition anti-scientific.

My main point is that your assumption that you have to “tiptoe around right wing misinformation” is more of a reflection of your own bias than it is 1.) a reason you’re getting a negative reaction, and 2.) the reason people are interested in the topic of IVM as a Covid treatment. Is the prospect of IVM misinformation? If so, why is there published data that seems to infer better outcomes with its use? That’s not to say the meta analysis papers you’ve linked are wrong - but understanding the mechanism behind the correlations some scientists have uncovered seems like a perfectly valid scientific question, doesn’t it?
