They say the update is coming in June.

This was not too bad considering PGs latest writings, which have been various degrees of underwhelming and tone deaf. This is like, at least, a rally call or something. But I'm just a bitter forum troll so...

Great news, for them. For the rest of us,

Are there any organizations we can support to help do this in more places?

Yeah, well, when it's making money you're too busy to post a write-up.

> For the United Kingdom, extending the interval between doses was clearly the right choice, but the country’s lockdown deserves part of the credit for that success

This is important for anyone who thinks it might be a good idea to wait. You have to carefully weigh the risk of being vulnerable in the meantime.

As you get older, you should read fewer new books, and revisit the ones that have you the most joy. Vacation sounds like a great place for that!

Edit: why? Because you believe in the leverage algorithms can provide https://www.amazon.com/Algorithms-Live-Computer-Science-Deci...

There are probably a lot of single people here that would benefit from that book as well (the stopping problem)

We all "know" the algos. But reading/hearing how they can be applied and what effect they can have on your life can be enlightening.

Besides the shoddy number work, does this really tell us anything?

I mean, if everyone read "exactly what was needed" then that would significantly change the distribution since the current is based on "what marketers make me think I need."

Therefore, this article could be viewed as positive improvement of efficiency in the book buying market. Ie more people buying "the book they need" vs "want because of flashy marketing" based on increased access to search and reviews.

Does that accurately represent the model of audible credits? Or just actual purchases of audio books?

Most people just don't read any books. Whether I buy physical or audible mainly depends on the books content. Story-heavy books (most) are great on audible, more technical stuff deserves physical.

How is audible factored in here? I've 10X'd my audible intake over the past year.
