That's not enough, I am afraid.

I think we should think holistically, this means, don't only look at school but also at family, peer relations and society at large.

In other words I propose that we should completely forbid functional smart phones for children below 10 years then officially introduce smart phones in school as a part of the school's curriculum. The curriculum also limits usage and relaxes the rules when the children get older. Children also should have a say about rules.

Also needed are places where children and teenagers can meet and these places must be autonomously accessible (for example near the school but independent from school).

Such a community allows the children to learn about internet and social media in a safe and controlled manner. I think the children would prefer to play together instead of staying alone in bedrooms anyway.

If WhatsApp had a similar issue because of some 3rd party software they rely on I'm sure nobody would give them a free pass.
This would be so much better with a screenshot how it actually looks like.
If I adhered to standards I would have forced password rotation (a shit policy) because the standards are behind me. They only recently changed. I was right all along. I literally protected people's data when the standards would have put them at risk. No, thank you.
same excuse always used but no evidence. at least post a screenshot. they never do. never call the police. just an easy cover up to play the victim.
The goal was to provide a secure whatsapp alternative for he French administration.

They failed the "secure" part - nothing else matters, and that does not mean that rolling your own should be discouraged - it means that these things are hard, and chances are your pet project will be less secure than established systems.

actually, beta is less useful than that! I think it represents the median difference between the two distances, its not a tolerance (at least as far as I can recall after experimenting with tuning this value).

As with you, I have found that it still often gives ok results with slower frequencies, as long as the transition probabilities are still relatively in the same scale as each other for a particular observation pair. However it means that there's no point trying to 'tune' using the gamma and beta parameters
did you see the meeting video leaked after the election? they were all actually crying and upset and swore to change things. this isnt a single incident. they openly say this in the company, its like a cult
The alternative isn't a repeat of 9/11. You're assuming that passengers aren't a whole lot more motivated to overpower hijackers after 9/11 than before. One reason 9/11 could happen is that passengers generally assumed a hijacking was mostly a scary inconvenience, not a life-or-death situation.

> *What Apple does is buy companies with fantastic technology, but a very limited ability to bring that to the market as a compelling product on their own.

Not always, Beats headphones was them buying a company producing complimentary products, most of the value was in the brand, marketing and the distinct visual design of the products. There's nothing special about the technology and the company was very effective in bringing their product to market.
It is ridiculous to say that in other times it was warmer.
Nowadays we have many resources to measure, compare and identify the cause of the temperature rise and so far the best correlation is the increase of CO2 in the atmosphere.
You're saying "Average temperature increases, it's not because of this theory, it's something else that no one knows." Denialists need to come up with a better theory instead of saying "natural causes not understood."
What's the relationship between these two things? The export controls were broad, in place before 1998 and not specific to India.
That is a little bit of a revisionist history, curiously perpetrated both by Turkish conservatives and liberals. For the liberals, it’s the case of, ’look how backwards the country was in the Empire, and Mustafa Kemal saved it from certain oblivion, vote for us’. For conservatives, it’s more ’Mustafa Kemal destroyed our glorious Islamic past by making Turkey into an European nation state, and suppressed all dissent for the contrary, vote for us’

The reality is, Turks historically had a distant relationship to Islam, being the last major adopter of the religion, and Turkey’s Empire has kept and retained, in some cases proudly, many traditions that were openly in violation of quite a few tenets of the Muslim religion, traditions coming from Turks’ pagan past, from Europeans, and from everywhere else.

Ataturk’s ‘revolution’ was much more incremental than most people realise. Just like you cannot plant a parliament in a country that was previously governed by tribesmen, you cannot come up with the idea of ‘secularism’ in a country who was ruthlessly monocultural before and have it survive past your death. For better or worse, the laws Ataturk enacted had its roots in the culture of the land, and that’s the only reason he could, and that’s the only reason they survived past his death.

Muslims were a minority in the Ottoman Empire until the last 50 years of its 600+ year existence. Laicite is just a natural extension of the culture of tolerance that allowed the OE to even exist in the first place, and the extinguishment of which ultimately led to its downfall.

Yes, I'm eagerly awaiting https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/58457 and your follow-up https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/60703. AFAIK, a global allocator is still required with them (so we still have to initialize it), but it allows us to choose a different allocator for some collections, e.g. to avoid deadlocks in interrupt handlers.
> it actually does this on purpose, if you've watched it once there is a good chance you will watch it again.

Bullshit.

If I start a random video and let it automatically progress to the next one, I will have to watch it (or parts of it) to tell if I’m interested or not.

This is particularly annoying for Youtube music where starting a radio from something you like now is guaranteed to add new artists to “your artists” because you listened to them once, only to click “next” or “not interested”.
Libra is the best way for payment middlemen and governments to combat cryptocurrency -- by creating something that looks like it and provides some convenience, but removes all of the teeth and allows them to continue to control and profit from it.

I am sort of hoping they won't figure that out. But it seems likely that eventually they will.

Maybe I should stop saying it's not a real cryptocurrency and stuff, because perhaps if they think it's real or could turn into a real cryptocurrency then many will be afraid of it and kill the project. And that could give time for Bitcoin and Ethereum scaling efforts to be deployed.

By the way, what are they all planning to do if the scaling efforts of real cryptocurrencies succeed and the dream of digital cash becomes a reality?

Yes, but you are talking about geologic time scale and extremely gradual changes compared to what we see now, which is just dozens of years.

If you realize that Perl 6 basically has Moose in its core, and you compare startup time of Perl 5 with Moose with Perl 6, then it's not that bad at all:

$ time perl6 -e ''
real 0m0.120s

$ time perl -MMoose -e ''
real 0m0.131s

And that's without all of the fancy type checking stuff of several Moose plugins that comes standard with Perl 6.

So in that sense, if you are interested in Moose functionality, you're better of in Perl 6.
In the 90's there was a Windows program that offered the same functionality, called uTOK: http://alumni.media.mit.edu/~orit/utok.html . IIRC it acted as a HTTP proxy to see which URLs you were fetching.

You have a \ at the bottom left of your website. Nice gesture to open source, good on you!
because the media is liberal and they also push for censorship
I am torn. On one side it is one of the most effective kind short of a direct referral by a friend. I can understand that if you despise the idea of advertising as a whole then it can be seen as manipulation. (Personally I don't mind)

On the other hand I think that it is the one that blends the best and can even have some value. For example I can imagine that people enjoy a car heist movie more if actual cars that exist are being used as opposed to some made up stuff.

In France there are laws against "accidental" advertising so in news and TV almost any brand will be taped over or blurred. It is actually way more jarring and ugly than just leaving it as it is. It is especially funny when you have the logo of national rail company, which is basically a gradient, blurred.
For any company other than Apple I would agree with you. There’s too great an incentive for a company to, given this lack of transparency, do something nefarious. But I trust Apple to not do this. Because it is in their best interest to be the anti-Google. To not spy is a value add for them.
Sad, but relatively honest and harmless compared to room bait and switch.
leftist news that pushes for censorship is not running a story exposing leftist company doing censorship. not surprising.
IBM made decisions about the Cell PowerPC that made it unsuitable for Apple (no out of order) and offered the 970 as compensation. We all got to see how those promises played out.
This could happen with literally any browser and has absolutely no relation to whether or not they are based on the chromium source.

Really? In Bringing Down the House there was a plot point of the crew enlisting strippers to cash in their chips, because they could do so easily and without attracting suspicion because it was normal for them to get paid in casino chips.

Many ISPs are part of conglomerates that also contain web content publishers, so they have a vested interest for ads to continue working.

Regardless of his counter-example, I think the chosen time period is too short to mean anything significant. I'm not saying global warming isn't a concern, but that graphs like these are not useful in reference to global warming. I mean imagine if in a decade global temperatures drop for a decade, are we going to assume global warming isn't an issue anymore?

It might well be, depending on the reason. We'd also probably see those effects if there was mass depression. Or if we simply locked up all teens at all times. What other "teen stuff" aren't they doing? Socializing (in person)? Exercising?
They made excellent spies though.
Apple made iOS which is heavily locked down, not even allowing the -ridiculously named- "sideloading" that (some of) Android allows, i'm not sure why you think they wouldn't like that sort of control on macOS. The only reason they haven't already locked down macOS like iOS is the precedence of computers not being locked down for decades, but this is exactly why they chip away that freedom little by little instead of going all-in.

If they had no incentive for macOS to be locked down then they wouldn't have any incentive for iOS to be locked down either.

Doing that gives me a weird, inexplicable feeling. I know Firefox blocks stuff, especially if you set tracker blocking to "Strict". It doesn't block all ads so I still want to use uBO... but do I disable Firefox's blocking to avoid doing the same thing twice? Or are there things Firefox handles better than uBO? It's really too much thinking so for now I'm using Edge Chromium with uBO, and that's not a solution :D

Sitting behind at 43' 4K monitor without scaling and it works great. 4x 1080p in one screen without seams is soo good.

Benefits:
- You get so much screen space. You can fit so many thing on one screen. There is now space for 20 icons vertially on my desktop (not that I use the desktop much, but consider it more of something to compare to).
- You move your head more, as you don't have your entire screen in focus. Same goes for multi-monitor setups.
- No seam in your 4x1080p screens.

Some caveats:
- You'll miss notifications. My field-of-view is not good enough to see the small popup in the lower-left/right of windows. I wish I got more notification in the center of my screen.
- If you use it as a windows monitor, you will notice color/blurry reflections of the desk in front of you, making it harder to read the bottom 2% of the screen when you are looking at the center. Usually, this is where your taskbar is. Solution: Move the taskbar to the top.
- You will still overlap your windows. Most of the time you will just increase the size of your editors/browsers to fit more content in those. I think my browser is currently larger than a 1080p screen, just because I read it a lot and it is such an important part of the screen. You do however get so much more content in your editors/browsers.
- Getting headaches and eye-strain? Turn down the contrast and brightness by a lot. You are starting into an even bigger 'lamp' than usual, so save your eyes. On 1080p I usually work around 40-50 brightness and contrast, while on this 4K they are both on 30.

I still wish I had something smaller though, but there simply are no developer 4k screens in the range of 33' to 38'. I do not want ultrawide, nor pay +2k so I can read my lines of code in the most color-accurate way possible.
'If the comment desaturation makes Hacker News difficult to read, you can click on the comment's timestamp to go to its page where the comment will no longer be faded, or you can install the CSS extension discussed here.'

I may not be interpreting this right, but does that imply they already have the planes, which will now stay in storage until 2025 waiting for all issues to be resolved?

If that's correct, aren't there possible risks for flying a plane that had such a long period of inactivity?
Admitting culpability more or less admits financial responsibility as well.

If Boeing would say "we're at fault", people would sue them (more than now) and have greater chance at winning those lawsuits, since Boeing already admitted to being at fault.

I can imagine Boeing, and the Boeing CEO, is trying very, very hard at walking a fine line of not admitting being at fault, but also saying that they are "taking responsibility"
(since they have 300 souls, public opinion, and lawmakers against them). They have to convince people (those that matter, ie those stopping operation and sales) that the MAX and Boeing are safe.
What lack of data would convince you that apocalyptic ACC concerns were largely overblown, or at least unjustified? Because that's what you're dealing with here - a remarkable lack of quality, unadulterated data. Most people don't have a clue about this, though; they just trust what they're being told.
Absolutely nothing.

Because i still need to buy a micro HDMI cable :)

The plan is to setup a piHole, make a SMB share on usb HDD, and if it has enough juice left - connect it to TV and setup it with some streaming services.

I would love to have a small home server rack but both power costs and space constraints prevent me from setting it up. i might do it on multiple RPI's - and maybe add a NAS for storage later on.
