> Yet they only paid dimes to these countries

You seem to have been taught a rather selective history.

- Germany was forced to cede a quarter of its territory after WW2, to exactly the allied neighbouring countries in addition to the ones already ceded in WW1. In the east, Germans were ethnically cleansed from those areas. (The western parts were later given back to Germany because France and Netherlands found ethnic cleansing unpalatable.)

- The Soviet Occupation Zone - the later GDR - was denuded of any and all industrial machinery and other items of value, which were all carted off to the Soviet Union.

- The western allies took "intellectual reparations" and stripped German companies and individuals of their rights to IP - patents, copyrights, trademarks worth billions. (In violation of the Hague Convention which they all signed, but hey, vae victis.)

- and of course cash reparations too, for countries who did not participate in all of the above (Greece, Israel, Yugoslavia).
yeah, but why is $5,000 less likely. Is there some fundamental reason?
The real problem with mobile devices is that it costs $600-$1000 for a security patch. And when you get it, you'll also be stuck with inferior hardware as a side effect of that very expensive security patch. A device that used to be multifunctional but now is no longer useful for phone calls, music, or videos because it doesn't have a headphone port. One that used to be mobile but now requires you to stay tethered to an outlet because you can no longer switch out to a spare battery. One that's even thinner and more likely to break.

People would like to be secure, but they shouldn't have to pay that much for a security patch and they don't want to downgrade their systems.
No updates for Android devices pretty much confirms this.

Possibly, that might make it faster and eliminate further blocking.

The entire convert/save/push to websockets activity though, is done on a separate _fibre_ in Crystal - essentially a spawned background thread. So even if one packet went awry, it shouldn't really block subsequent packets from coming through. I suppose I could go further, and within the spawned fibre, I could spawn another fibre for the write ops so it didn't get in the way of the web socket push op.

But then again, when I checked the Crystal CPU and memory footprint, it was really low, and even at the highest UDP telemetry rate of 60Hz, I don't think I lost any packets due to Crystal's sheer speed of handling them.

Uconn Loves tooting its own horn despite its mediocrity. A good litmus test of the intellectual atmosphere of a university is its student run newspaper. Uconn's has (at least in the recent past) featured rampant grammatical and logical reasoning errors and even stories that end abruptly midway through. For example they will have a story lead on page 1 and you will read it until it says "see page 4." You go to page 4 and the other half of the story is nowhere to be found. Maybe Uconn can help keep the Navy ships from crashing into each other...but such a newspaper does not instil confidence.

I believe most of the Codemasters racing games do have this feature. Documentation is a little scarce though, and we have to rely on their forum for information.

I was actually surprised by the number of third party racing wheels and displays that took advantage of this telemetry though. There are a lot of them that are now virtually indistinguishable from the real hardware in how they operate.

Genetics can be a factor, so you have to get it checked.

A bloke my sister knows (she's a nurse), was diagnosed with 'hypertension not otherwise specified', at the ripe old age of 31. But they didn't catch it early because he 'felt fine'. He wasn't overweight unhealthy. But he needs new kidneys now!

It's misinformation to say otherwise. I mean, I live in Australia, where you can visit the doctor for free, so it's like, no skin off our back to go and see one once or twice a year.

EDIT: Also, I have hypertension AND sleep apnea. I am overweight. It is most likely the cause, though we do have a history of high blood pressure in the family so until I drop 20% of my weight I'm not going to know for sure. I don't disagree with that you need to look after yourself physically and be glad if you don't have any other illness that ain't your goddamn fault.
Did a bit of not-super-random sampling; the only ones I'm seeing that don't produce for the military are kitplane manufacturers and this lovely oddity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrafugia

(And of those kitplane manufacturers, many of them also make drones for the Army and Navy.)

There is just so much overlap between civilian and military models (much more so than in, say motor vehicles) that the line between military and civilian products gets fuzzy.
Fuck you that's depressing.
The about:memory display is pretty easy to read and can force memory collections across the app. Should be fairly easy to track down the cause. I run the developer edition and tend to restart weekly or so to pick up new updates but I don't notice excessive RAM consumption.
Not a hugely accurate measurement method but it's definitely clear that Chinese investment crossed a threshold sometime this year, because I'm starting to notice property developers advertising including Chinese (I'm pretty sure most of what I've seen has been in Mandarin but I could be mistaken.) along side the English. It's not the norm yet, but it's definitely a troubling sign of how significant the overseas investment has grown.

The way it was explained to Joel Spolsky in the article linked earlier is that Gates just pokes away at increasingly fine details until he finds some question you can't answer, and uses that to make you look dumb. Its actually just a form of intellectual bullying, like a jock who challenges you to an arm wrestling contest before he'll let you out of the changing room.

Thats not to say that Gates isn't extremely intelligent and hardworking, just that his approach isn't necessarily the best. Also, Spolsky's anecdote is from a few decades ago. Gates will have matured a bit since then.

I was really excited for Quantum, but it appears the switch to WebExtensions is going to gut most of my favourite addons, and completely kill the rest. About half of the addons I use have been updated to be compatible with Firefox 57, so the rest will stop working as soon as I update.

Of the ones that have updated, most are missing significant features. The most significant example is Lastpass, which can no longer fill in http authentication boxes, and can't even copy usernames and passwords to the clipboard anymore. (The Chrome version has never been able to do the former, but can at least do the latter.) Lastpass fills many auth modals for me every day, so losing that feature is going to be a huge annoyance.

NzbFox is gone. Hilarious webcomic manager gone. Foxyproxy missing features. This just sucks. I understand the logic behind this move, but addons were one of Firefox's strengths. Now it appears they will be a sort of poor cousin to their Chrome counterparts. I would happily sacrifice speed to not completely hamstring the capabilities of addons.

Obviously it's too late for this, but the could have added the WebExtension system to provide greater stability, security, and developer ease for new addons (and those that wished to migrate), while maintaining the more powerful system for major things that required those capabilities. Yes, in theory it means a bad addon could compromise security, but that's true of any program I choose to install on my computer. I certainly wouldn't trade my general purpose PC for some locked down app store box regardless!
Shouldn't they use this with antibiotics first, to better make sure that people take the full course of their prescription?

> Abilify is an arguably unusual choice for the first sensor-embedded medicine. It is prescribed to people with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and, in conjunction with an antidepressant, major depressive disorder.

> Many patients with these conditions do not take medication regularly, often with severe consequences. But symptoms of schizophrenia and related disorders can include paranoia and delusions, so some doctors and patients wonder how widely digital Abilify will be accepted.

Abilify is a "partial dopamine agonist" - the other anti-psychotics are stronger dopamine agonists, and are much more effective at inducing akathasia [0] ("inner restlessness"). This class of drugs are palliative medications that don't address the causes of a patient's symptoms.

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akathisia#Drug-induced

When my friend's sixth hospitalization put her on Abilify, she got worse as the week progressed. The day before she was released she was as delusional as she'd ever been. I was certain they'd send her to another hospital, but they released her anyways. I got a call the next day, and had to drive 5 hours to retrieve her from Las Vegas, where she'd ditched the 'friends' who'd talked her into going to California.

There is no controversy about Abilify causing compulsive behaviors:

The only way to escape from maintenance meds like Abilify is to taper off. If the digital pill is tattling on the patient, it only makes their recovery more difficult.

Sorry for the poor photo quality, but it's the best I could manage to do at the moment.

On the left is some writing that I did just now, just for you! On the right is a page of notes that I wrote a few weeks ago. It didn't occur to me to get anything in there for scale until just now, but the larger notebook (the one on the right) is roughly 13 cm across by 21 cm high. The smaller one 12.7 cm by 19.6 cm according to the cover.

You can see on the right that I've written some elaborate headings... I'd imagine I'm one of very few people, if not the only person, who writes headings in such a script. Below that, you can see that I employ cursive and block for different purposes: most writing is in cursive, but "foreign" language (Old English in this case) words are written in block. I do similar things in other sorts of notes; for example, I might write source code or command names in block to keep them visually distinct from the commentary.

In the US, it seems that most people these days "learn" cursive at some point, but abandon it the first chance they get. This wasn't always the case (my mom and my grandma write exclusively in cursive, for example). Personally, I tend to only write with block letters if the scribbles are intended for a recipient (or, as mentioned above, as a semantic device).
Seconded. This sounds like a reasonable deal that probably prevented a lot of civilian deaths of people who could have been caught in the crossfire.
I heard a great argument once, that I can no longer find on the internet. That it was the cannon that lead to the industrial revolution. The first cannons were awful. Short range, extraordinarily expensive to build, and just as likely to kill you as the enemy. There was an arms race in Europe to develop much stronger and cheaper metal. And once that exists, steam engines are much more practical.

I usually have a project that is about ~30 tasks total, to be done mostly sequentially, with a deadline in a month. Maybe a week of work all together.

I use 4 different browsers all day everyday. I'm sure that there is a memory leak or something similar in Firefoz. It performs fine for a while and then gets slower and slower until it hangs and I have to restart.
I think it will stop without starting because any real planning will come to conclusion that fitting any more people in comfortably is simply not possible, or at least not until Musk's Boring Company delivers.
It depends on how thoroughly ensconced people are in the virtual worlds of business and work, and how denatured they have become by urban living. Out here in the bush, both our utter reliance on the living planet, and its precipitous decline, are starkly obvious.
When I was in Iraq we tried to give them jobs doing construction, food preparation, auto repair, ECT. But they all proved to be untrustworthy, taking the money and not doing their jobs or worse sabotage due to extreme idealization. It reminded me of the people of Detroit. That is why we disbanded them they could not be trusted to be organized holding guns at a moments notice they would switch sides and shoot at you.
Only tangential related: But the quality improvements in ER has saved countless potential "murder" victimes over the last two decades. The problems these victims phase, after they have been patched up are severe. Chronic pain, disabilitys and hardships.
But they are not murders, so its not so bad in the city of <place-name-here>.
We should write into the news how bad the victims future prospects are limited. Not just a "wounded", but "wounded, with future limitations on autarc living"
Are you a german ? Because germans are usually the ones spreading lies like this.

Could you link the tab unloader addon you are using, and is it compatible with new firefox?

I have exactly the same problem as the one you replied to.

It seems like some resources never get cleaned up, so if I in the span of a day open 100 tabs and close them then I will not end up with much higher memory usage than initially.

I have investigated this with about:memory and while not seeing something conclusive I did sometimes see domains taking up memory which were not loaded in any tab (ghost windows) or high amounts of memory used for "media".

I will try disabling the handful of addons I use beside uBlock Origin which is too essential to disable.
That's one reason I'm still hoping for a Linux/Firefox phone.
So what is the problem then - they will just have face/fingerprint protection (as they have now) plus useless 0000 pin. And all this optional in settings. No inconvenience at all. Other will have proper bio + password protection that can't abused in most cases.

"Interesting" in a positive or negative way?
Upward mobility is higher in Denmark, where I'm from, so that's what I'm familiar with. I don't think this metric necessarily measures exactly what people expect: The spread of possible outcomes is simply much tighter. Making $65,000/year puts you in the top 10% of earners, while the bottom 10% ends at $19,600/year. When tripling your salary is enough to travel almost the entire scale, obviously more people will do it. The same numbers for the US are $150,000 and $6,560 (not adjusted for purchasing parity or tax, so grain of salt). Or put differently, the 10%-90% income range for Denmark fits inside the 25%-75% income range for the US.

We have a lot fewer poor people in Denmark, and that's undoubtedly a very good thing. But there are also very, very few people who would be considered more than comfortably middle class in the US.

I don't know a good way to measure this, but I think that you can move further, faster upwards in absolute numbers in the US rather than in Denmark. I would expect that it's comparatively easier to for someone born around the 20%-mark to make it to 80% in the US than for someone to make it from 10% to 90% in Denmark, even though about the same journey in absolute numbers.

Appliances like telephones will never have secure passwords (e.g. 32 random symbols), they will have at most short and insecure pins/passwords, 6-10 numbers or letters. But adding on top of that fingerprint/face with 1/10000-1000000 security will make it acceptably secure and still convenient.
If I really listen to my body it's telling me to eat and drink everything I can get my hands on. That's what it's programmed to do. What you're trying to say is that the more primal cravings should be ignored and we should be very conscious of what we eat / drink / do.

Body still tells me to sit in a couch and eat myself to an early death though.

Reading through the rest of the responses, I'm baffled by how incapacitated people seem to be when their internet connection goes out. Sure, if you're going to configure a cloud server, internet access is required, but people have turned many things that once were done locally over to the cloud, without ever considering if that's actually a good idea (specifically talking about availability now, although there are other problematic angles as well).
> Speeding fines can only be levied by the municipality in which the violation took place. That's exactly one entity.

No, it's two entities at the least in urban areas: the police and the municipality.

> German speeding fines are minuscule in international comparison.

Yes, which makes people speed in higher amounts and only because of this the system of traps bringing in 15M+€ actually works - yes you get the occasional dumb moron with 50+ km/h, but the most part is netted by the small fish speeding 10-20 km/h.
Unfortunately Firefox breaks usability features at notion.so and app.intercom.io, so I still have to use Chrome (on Linux).
Then you're now talking about Slack instead of a forum. They're distinct entities, with distinct purposes.

You are overestimating how long it takes to charge an Apple Watch and underestimating the battery. 30-45 minutes while you're showering and having breakfast is enough.
Exactly; no need to pressure an already overworked health care system with a "what if". Especially when you can check a lot of basic things yourself with e.g. a smartwatch, as this article suggests. I'm fairly sure an at-home BP measuring thing isn't too expensive either.
I'm not sure it was a bad move.

Leaving the army and power structures in place would have created conditions for a civil war that could have spilled over the entire region. Leaving the defeated minority population to continue ruling over the south and kurds would have been a blood bath.

Disbanding created isis but not disbanding would have been worse. We'll never know how worse things could have gotten.
