I think a huge problem is that the average person doesn’t have the capacity to read and understand the actual published research paper. If you don’t work in that particular field its like reading another language. They also dont know how to interpret the data, or look at sample sizes and associated statistics. Whether or not its peer reviewed or if the experiments have been repeated is a whole other aspect most people wont consider. Couple that with the fact that most articles written about scientific breakthroughs are written by the same people with a lack of understanding and you end up with this weird whisper down the alley lost in translation effect.
It’s difficult to do more than that too. I see these headlines and articles, I know about this problem, and I can understand many research papers. However, the time and effort it takes to parse those things out is usually too much for me. There’s just too much and not enough time, so at some point I have to trust it. Otherwise I need a really good reason to look into it further and invest that extra energy, which really would prefer be spent on my personal life instead
He is. The guy has published an absolutely preposterous number of books and has at least one out this year. They also did a Fear Street netflix series somewhat recently, last year I think.
They sure do. That takes 10-20 years and in the meantime many patients experience an increased quality of life rather than a horrible death. I hope someday we develop a better method and I expect that doctors of the future will view this practice as barbaric, but at the moment it’s the best we got and better than nothing.

With my old plasma tv if I ever started to notice burn in I would set it to a channel with no signal so it would do the static “snow”. It forces every pixel on the screen to go full spectrum by alternating between white and black. Leaving it like that for like 5-10 mins would greatly reduce noticeable burn in. TV is still going strong after 14 years of doing this.

Its a hell of a thing reading this and finding out this way. They knew in October. They knew more in November. They finally say something in December, but I have yet to receive any communication from them acknowledging the breach. Thanks Comcast. You somehow suck and blow at the same time.
Great game, much like chess I have no one in real life to play it with and I lose interest quickly in playing random internet strangers, so it’s been quite awhile since I’ve touched it.
I think a thing that made a huge impact for me was finding a program full of life and death puzzles. It really helped to drill in what a “dead group” looks like, and helped me judge when to abandon a part of the board or continue fighting for control there. Unfortunately that was 15 years ago and I no longer remember the name of that program.
Otherwise I always found the idea behind influence on the board to be very powerful, if difficult to define. I always noticed that good players tend to start by putting pieces all around the board, generally hovering on the third or fourth line away from the edge. Even if they wont fight for those spots later, just that small presence is enough to disrupt how their opponent will play and gives an edge in defending or attacking that area later. I’m a novice player who hasn’t played in a decade so maybe its not great advice, but spread out early! I think it really helps. It makes it a lot easier to claim territory and also just push into your opponents, and hopefully they eat up a lot of space trying to defend that.
