It looks like they're pivoting into corporate finance tracking which seems like a good move but still a bit jarring as I was curious to give this a go!

Existing customers - what comms have you received?

I don't really want to self-host this even though I might. Before I commit, what are some alternatives? The UI seemed very compelling

I think these treatments are better understood as methods to encourage one's mind and body to reprocess some experience so that it is "merely" a terrible thing that happened so they can live a stabler, more balanced, more normal life.

We also don't know how much of that 500k is profit - maybe the margins in organised crime aren't what they used to be. Each $3,750 saved is money they can put straight into their pocket as their boss might never find out how many mules they ended up using.

Or maybe the reporting is fishy

One thing that's certainly happening in London is that there's hundreds of entry-level candidates fighting for only a handful of openings.

The industry has generally become more risk-averse. Hiring less experienced people is now extra risky, as it is a bet that they'll generate some value for the company before moving on for a higher salary elsewhere. Hiring juniors is a great long-term move, especially in a 0% rates landscape and when VC funding is plentiful but if you only have 12 months cash it's pretty hopeful.

This budget is now being used to hire safer, more predictable hires: seniors (know what you're getting into) and contractors (can cut them with 28 days notice or even less, no employment contract to complicate things)

- subscribes to a bunch of feeds over websockets

- aggregates the messages somewhat

- passes them through some ML models and decision makers which are organised hierarchically

- executes the decisions

- listens on feeds that relay decision updates

A lot of it is CRUD and a lot of it is actors passing messages around. I'm getting to the point where I don't want to be scanning through log lines anymore and need to set up some visibility but time is scarce so want to ask around:

What is there apart from Kibana?

Kibana is a pretty good fit, there's a Scala library that extracts structured logs from string interpolations (https://izumi.7mind.io/logstage) so before long I could have a very searchable log and all kinds of dashboards.

The one nice-to-have that I'd miss is capturing my hierarchies. It'd be more helpful if I could also have a network view of all my entities, their nestings and the throughput between them. That'd be really nice but again, it's a nice to have and I'd like it to be very low setup

Am I missing something obvious? Grafana?

> Regular consumption of breakfast cereals is associated with diets that are lower in fat

why is this necessarily a good thing?

> Regular consumption of breakfast cereals is associated with diets that are higher in vitamins and minerals for adults, adolescents, and children

is the subset of vitamins and minerals and the corresponding RDAs that they look at responsible for driving meaningful outcomes or do they just pick whatever's convenient?

> Regular consumption of breakfast cereals is associated with a greater likelihood of meeting recommended nutrient intakes

again, recommended nutrient intakes is very convenient considering they're derived from how nourished a population is, i.e: as a nourishment goes down so do the recommended levels.

> Consumption of breakfast cereals is associated with higher daily milk intake

Only thing so far that might actually be causal to health. Probably not though because the frankenmilk we consume today is not the raw milk we were consuming a century ago.

> Consumption of presweetened breakfast cereals does not increase the total daily energy intake in children’s diets

calories in/ calories out is not as useful as made out to be, there's quite little wrong with consuming a lot of calories if those calories are well utilised

> Consumption of breakfast cereals does not increase the total daily sodium intake

Sodium is an essential electrolyte/signaling ion. Too much is bad in the presence of insulin insensitivity. Too little is really bad if the individual is metabolcially sound for the most part.

> Consumption of presweetened breakfast cereals does not increase total daily sugar intake of children and adolescents

second one so far that might actually be a really good proxy

tl;dr: no idea how many of these are useful proxies for things that actually matter
