I would love to know from somebody with an Apple watch how you use HRV.

I wear a Garmin, which I mostly like. The HRV measurement is predictive enough to be useful. Two occasions from the past 18 months are worth noting:

1) The measure dropped from green through yellow and into red. It was in yellow 7 days. On the first day it was in red, I was hit with covid symptoms. It stayed in red 2 1/2 weeks before starting to climb again; my symptoms had mostly cleared by the end of the first week, but I still felt sluggish for some time after. The kicker is that I hadn't looked at the HRV at all until sometime during the week of symptoms.

2) I went on a trip to a location +8 hours off my usual timezone, and jet lag symptoms were brutal. HRV dropped into yellow on day one of the trip, and stayed there during the 2 weeks of travel. A couple days after I returned it dropped into red, exactly coinciding with the onset of flu/covid symptoms. Again, it stayed in red throughout the illness, and then as I started to get fit again on the other side it ramped up through yellow and into green.

So even with 20% accuracy (if that is the case), it's a useful data point! What does 90% accuracy give you?

That sounds useful ! Apple have the best sensors and algorithms, but they are terrible at presenting your data.

France is really far from a planned economy.

Marseille's worst neighborhoods are really chill compared to the bad parts of any American city.

The streets are pretty safe.

Your comment is kinda ridiculous, stop watching TV.

Yeah there are lot of taxes, but those taxes come in handy when you can get 2 years of unemployment benefits when starting a company. Or when you know, get a cancer that would cost a few millions to treat.

France is not a planned economy in the Soviet Union style, and we are in a privatisation trend. But the state still has a huge role in the economy and a history of interventionism in the private sector. More than most European countries.

I have no knowledge of the worst American cities, but saying that Marseille's worst neighborhoods are "chill" and "The streets are pretty safe" is pure madness.

Hi. So I'm the person at Google quoted in the article and also who shared about this myth here: https://twitter.com/searchliaison/status/1689018769782476800

It's not that we discourage it. It's not something we recommend at all. Not our guidance. Not something we've had a help page about saying "do this" or "don't do this" because it's just not something we've felt (until now) that people would somehow think they should do -- any more than "I'm going to delete all URLs with the letter Y in them because I think Google doesn't like the letter Y."

People are free to believe what they want, of course. But we really don't care if you have "old" pages on your site, and deleting content because you think it's "old" isn't likely to do anything for you.

Likely, this myth is fueled by people who update content on their site to make it more useful. For example, maybe you have a page about how to solve some common computer problem and a better solution comes along. Updating a page might make it more helpful and, in turn, it might perform better.

That's not the same as "delete because old" and "if you have a lot of old content on the site, the entire site is somehow seen as old and won't rank better."

What the Google algorithm encourage/discourage and what google blog or documentation encourage/discourage are COMPLETELY different things. Most people here are complaining about the former, and you keep responding about the latter.

Unpopular opinion: If you don't like democracy and use your democratic rights to actively work to dismantle it, you probably shouldn't actually be allowed to participate in democracy since you are operating in bad faith.

Reminds me of Popper’s idea that a democracy shouldn’t give it’s tools to those who seek to destroy it.

“If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.” Karl Popper

micadep commented on Mandatory helmet laws make cyclists less safe   bicycling.com/culture/a29... · Posted by u/substation13
micadep · 3 years ago
This is not clickbait.

Helmets prevent the adoption of cycling because people don't want to look stupid in a helmet.

Yet, for cyclists like for pack animals, safety is in numbers. Safety is also in dedicated infrastructure, to share less road with cars, but is not going to be built unless there is enough adoption.

Having to wear helmets that are as cool as swimming armbands is not good for adoption.

Maybe start by having a Steve Jobs like person building a cool helmet? Or make it less ridiculous (in the eye of society) by running ad campaigns with Kardashian's, Ronaldo, or whoever people look up to and want to emulate.
