Is it true that letting your phone charge to 100% is bad? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] florencia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Yes.

Simplified and probably inaccurate explanation: 100% & 0% wears at the "membrane' that keeps the two energy compounds apart. Charges afterwards don't reach 100% as easily, or not at all. Charging to 80% puts less strain on the membrane as it keeps the two energy rich compounds apart. 50% is best, especially if device is always plugged in. At 50% the membrane is under the least amount of stress.

*Molten batteries *are the only ones I know that solve the problem, but they're the size of a house and meant to power cities.

Also we're finally starting to see devices acknowledge this issue. Phones now only charge to 80% overnight then go to 100% shortly before your alarm goes off. And always plugged in laptops can be set to 60% charge to preserve the lifespan of the battery.

I hate the collaborator take. Now if I could only find evidence to prove you wrong.

Torrentio seeds. It's using torrent technology. It will be sharing copies of the movie with others. Illegal.

Just need to start a rumor that this will allow the government to identify GUN OWNERS, for some future gun CONFISCATION effort. Cart_catalog

I look forward to a large contingent of MAGA voters suddenly insisting that they are now, among other things, experts on statistical methodology and census operations. You know, topics that they knew nothing about last week. Or this week. Rirere

Differential privacy keeps that data private. It’s a mathematical framework whereby a statistical output can’t be used to determine any individual’s data in a dataset, and the bureau’s algorithm for differential privacy is called TopDown. It injects “noise” into the data starting at the highest level (national), moving progressively downward. There are certain constraints placed around the kind of noise that can be introduced—for instance, the total number of people in a state or census block has to remain the same. But other demographic characteristics, like race or gender, are randomly reassigned to individual records within a set tranche of data. This way, the overall number of people with a certain characteristic remains constant, while the characteristics associated with any one record don’t describe an individual person. In other words, you’ll know how many women or Hispanic people are in a census block, just not exactly where.

On August 28, Republican Representative August Pfluger introduced the COUNT Act. If passed, it would add a citizenship question to the census and force the Census Bureau to “cease utilization of the differential privacy process.” Pfluger’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

It's always been a problem. I BELIEVE that averaged out more people just keep their posts up.

Medical professionals - Is there any benefit to a parasite cleanse? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

I stumbled upon a corner of the internet where people were talking about taking Ivermectin to get rid of parasites. Specifically for parasites that don't show symptoms whatsoever, or the symptoms are so mild that it's hard to get a medical professional to prescribe an anti parasite treatment.

Is there any truth to this? I know in areas where parasites are more common, people regularly take anti parasite meds to poop out a lot of worms every so often. Would there be an under diagnosis problem in richer countries?
