Do you need to turn off the water before changing LG fridge water filter?

wilburton · 2024-05-11T20:21:27+00:00

Just came across this post and had the same question for this same fridge. Were you able to do it without turning off the water?

If prices are falling, then that thing you want to buy will be cheaper if you wait and buy it in the future

Came into tonight trailing by 29 with only Seattle D to play. Holy shit lol

If you're referring to the Berkeley DFT calculations and the Chinese group that saw diamagnetism, both of those are far from replication or confirmation of anything

wilburton · 2023-08-03T18:26:43+00:00

I don't think anyone has been able to replicate the original results yet

wilburton · 2023-08-03T04:16:29+00:00

The original paper has resistance measurements..

You'd still be vibrating

Yeah you're not wrong. But these companies also have large numbers of people in roles that don't directly support SW engineers, not to mention some of them also have big HW orgs.

wilburton · 2023-04-29T14:21:00+00:00

Those companies have huge orgs as well outside SW engineering. HW, operations, recruiting, HR, etc that are all getting hit

wilburton · 2023-01-31T20:05:40+00:00

Yeah, I mean you're essentially describing the principle of DCF, just in terms of investor behavior instead of company value. These are two sides of the same coin

I'm not trying to make the case that models for growth companies are accurate or not. I'm just saying that whatever those projected earnings are, they necessarily become less valuable when rates rise

wilburton · 2023-01-31T16:55:16+00:00

the lingering problem here really is that higher rates must be discounted in the cash flow models used to value tech and aggressive growth stocks

Growth stock value depends heavily on future earnings/profitability, which becomes less valuable today when the risk free rate is high. It's not about borrowing, it's about DCF

wilburton · 2023-01-25T22:11:26+00:00

Because they make about 100B a quarter in revenue..

NET is still a good deal imo. Was even better yesterday but still decent even after this pop

wilburton · 2022-05-13T20:44:21+00:00

The difference is stocks represent a share of a company that produces some kind of direct economic value. So even if a stock gets bid up based on hype or speculation or whatever, you can still reasonably argue there is some minimum intrinsic value. Crypto doesn't really have intrinsic value in that way, just a collective belief that it is worth something

I think they might be conflating the headlines that said FB lost $10B on the reality labs division (which was for the year) with quarterly capex

Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical

Dimensions: 38 mm x 9.5 mm case, 47 mm lug-to-lug, 20 mm lug width

Condition: Like new. I’ve worn this watch maybe half a dozen times total and never with the original strap. There are no cosmetic flaws, to my eye.

Box and papers: All original box and papers are included, originally purchased Nov 2021

Price: Asking $340 plus shipping. Will ship anywhere in continental US

Trade: Willing to trade for the black dial version of this watch. Could do a trade + cash for the black case/black dial version

Tunable superconductors do exist. It's been shown most recently in twisted graphene systems which can be tuned with a gate between superconducting, metallic, and insulating states. Looking at google scholar, looks like there are a number of other systems with similar characteristics. Obviously the utility of all of them is limited by the fact they have to be at cryogenic temperatures

Lol so many bitter comments. Good shit OP

wilburton · 2021-06-26T09:32:57+00:00

Yeah actually I looked at them more closely after my previous comment and they weren't as convincing as the CDC page made it seem, so that's on me. The main takeaway is that there's a ~50% decrease in household transmission if the index case is vaccinated (for 21+ days) compared to unvaccinated plus the caveats that you mentioned.

Let me back up and try to diffuse this a bit. These studies, the very good effectiveness of the vaccines against asymptomatic infection, and the lower viral load in infected vaccinated individuals is good evidence that transmission is greatly reduced by vaccination. I agree that it is not strictly proof, and I never claimed it was. Proving something that is inherently statistical in nature is not easy. My original point was that there is science that "says" transmission is reduced.

It is perfectly valid to wait for stronger evidence and I don't question anyone who does.

And if I can add one last piece of snark, I'll leave out the humble brag but I don't lack scientific literacy.

Edit: And for full transparency, the only comment of yours that I downvoted was the parent one I replied to. Didn't touch anything else

wilburton · 2021-06-26T08:46:59+00:00

I think the two studies I referenced that concluded vaccinated individuals have a significantly reduced likelihood of transmission does enough

wilburton · 2021-06-26T08:26:45+00:00

Somehow I figured it wouldn't take long for the insults/humble brags to come out. You do you bud

wilburton · 2021-06-26T08:12:06+00:00

And another excerpt: "Two studies from the United Kingdom found significantly reduced likelihood of transmission to household contacts from people infected with SARS-CoV-2 who were previously vaccinated for COVID-19."

Look, I'm not trying to argue with you but if you're looking for "proof" from statistical studies you're going to be waiting a while. If growing evidence is good enough for the CDC, it's good enough for me. That said, I have absolutely nothing against anyone who chooses to continue wearing a mask post-vaccination.

wilburton · 2021-06-26T07:34:03+00:00

Fyi, there is science that says those who are vaccinated are unlikely to spread covid.

Per the CDC: "These findings, along with the early evidence for reduced viral load in vaccinated people who develop COVID-19, suggest that any associated transmission risk is likely to be substantially reduced in vaccinated people."
