Multifamily rental management companies have recently begun adopting algorithmic pricing tools to adjust their rents.

In recent years, about a quarter of buildings and a third of all units are managed with these tools.

What's the effect?๐Ÿงต Image
The answer to this question depends on when you ask it.

Early adopters who picked up the technology in 2007, for instance, saw small decreases in asking rents, as well as small increases in occupancy rates.

Algorithmic pricing was making the market better for customers! Image
But, later adopters who picked up the technology in 2013 saw increases in rents and declines in occupancy.

The impact of algorithmic pricing had gotten less consumer-friendly over time.Image

1/ Digital Twins and Cancer.
This has already begun.
There's talk about how this translates into the human, physical world. This has already begun with the use of what are called organoids, which Harvard was and others were investigating, before it gained traction. Image

3/ the use of organoids for customized, personalized cancer treatment is already happening, privately. You're just not hearing about it. In 2017, HARVARD researchers started using organoids. Image

Protestant theology that integrates reason, Natural Law, and the dignity of the individual provides a robust foundation for liberty, self-governance, and personal sovereignty. In contrast, Protestant theology that denies these principles often leads to authoritarianism, collectivism, or moral relativism, which erode the philosophical and ethical preconditions for liberty. Understanding these distinctions is essential for aligning theology with the metaphysical and ethical foundations necessary for a free society. I only have the bot to chat with so here goes:

What The Color Of Your Tongue Means?

~ Please read this carefully. ๐Ÿงต Image
1. Black

A buildup of keratin can cause the tongue to turn black. Keratin is a protein in the skin, hair, and nails.

According to the Genetic and Rare Diseases Information Center, a keratin buildup can cause the tongue to become black and hairy. A buildup can result from:

-bad oral hygiene
-medications, such as some antibiotics
-tobacco use
-radiation therapy

-Drinking dark liquids โ€” such as coffee or black tea โ€” can also blacken the tongue.

In rare cases, a black tongue results from a more serious health condition, such as diabetes or HIV.Image
2. White

If the tongue pales and develops white patches, this may result from a fungal infection, such as oral thrush.

Oral thrush can be painful and cause thick, white or red patches to form on the tongue. A person may have trouble swallowing or eating.

Another possible cause is leukoplakia. This condition causes white patches or plaques to form on the tongue, and it often results from smoking.

Also, the tongue may appear white because of lichen planusImage

The Bhagavad Gita serves as a personal guide. It is not an external dialogue but an internal one: between the ordinary human personality, full of questions about the meaning of life, and our deepest Self, which is divine.

12 lessons from the book: Image
The Bhagavad Gita is a Hindu scripture, written in verses, that forms one part of the Mahabharata epic in ancient India. It offers something to every seeker after God, of whatever temperament, by whatever path. It is a handbook for Self-realization and a guide to action.

There are eighteen chapters which are classified into three six-chapters. The first third deals with karma yoga (the yoga of selfless actions), the second with jnana yoga (the yoga of knowledge) and the last with bhakti yoga (the yoga of devotion).

Will explain what I think is happening with Sam Altman's trousers. Hopefully this thread will help you understand what to look for when shopping for pants. ๐Ÿงต
First, I should note that this thread has limitations. To really get a sense of why Sam's trousers aren't hanging cleanly, a tailor would have to see him in person. It's hard to diagnosis fit issues online. But I can make a guess. Image
When trousers don't hang cleanly, the problem is often the result of one of two problems. The first is when trousers are too slim, causing them to cling to the back of a person's leg (see pic 1). If pants are too tight through the hips, the pockets will flare out (see pic 2). Image

Versailles. The name conjures images of opulence and grandeurโ€”home to the iconic Palace of the French monarchy, just a short ride from Paris.But thereโ€™s another story buried in its streets. This is where a genius from Bengal once called home. Today is his birthday. Thread. 1/15 Image
About just 5 mins drive from the palace lies Rue des Chantiers, a quiet street in Versailles. There, at No. 12, is a modest house with a red door. At first glance, itโ€™s unremarkable. But look closer. Between two windows on the first floor, thereโ€™s a nearly unreadable plaque 2/15 Image
It reads in French: Michael Madhusudan Dutt lived here, 1863โ€“1865.

Michael Madhusudan Dutt. The first great modern Bengali poet. A rebel who questioned rather than comforted. A pioneer who reshaped Bengali literature with his daring vision. 3/15 Image

Why are some individuals unfair towards Ibn AbdelWahhab?

The phenomenon of criticizing an individual for their actions or character while simultaneously benefiting from the fruits of their contributions can be described as historical ingratitude or contributory amnesia.

1/25๐Ÿงต
This refers to the failure to acknowledge or fairly evaluate the role someone played in causing a benefit that is now taken for granted. It manifests as an unfair minimization of their efforts, often accompanied by an erasure of the difficulties they faced in achieving such goal.
So, consider the case of Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahhab, who led a determined call for the revival of monotheism during a time when polytheistic practices were not only widespread but deeply entrenched in some places, as is proven by numerous historical documents.

The immunological "SIGNATURE(S)" of LONG COVID๐Ÿงต

Immunological signatures are crucial for developing diagnostic markers and understanding recovery mechanisms. This provides insights into the immunological basis driving divergent outcomes after infection.
frontiersin.org/journals/immunโ€ฆImage
2) This first study provides some insights into why some patients recover fully from COVID-19 infection, while others develop the long-lasting condition of long COVID (LC) syndrome:

A. Myeloid cell populations (dendritic cells, monocytes):
- In acute COVID-19 patients ... Image
3) ... these myeloid cells were strongly depleted.
- However, in individuals who fully recovered, the myeloid cell populations returned to normal levels, similar to healthy donors.
- In contrast, LC patients maintained a myeloid cell distribution pattern more akin ... Image
