Are you sure it’s “most”? I can’t remember the last time I had to pay into someone’s private account instead of one of the correct ways to do it.

I never said it was free, but depending on the service you want, it is significantly cheaper than having a credit card terminal. One of the reasons it’s cheap is because it tells your bank about everything you buy. We worry about social media, but it’s the banks that know what brand of hemorrhoid medicine I purchased last week.

I’m not advocating either solutions, by the way. I’m just pointing out a use case. I mean, I care enough about privacy to not use google or Facebook, and I still use mobile pay because it’s really, really convenient.
But it only used RAM for things that changed. It used the much bigger ROM for code and static data. Consoles of the era could get away with very small amounts of RAM because of that.

Try making a pure "b" sound without any vowel sound. You can't really, as you end up making an aspirated vowel sound to make any sound at all.. So we often tell kids that "b" is pronounced like "buh," for example. The point is to tell them "b" with other vowel sounds so they don't associate it with only one.

"B" is buh, bee, boh, boo, bah, bay, beh, bih.

I use Enya. 1L for $2.99 from Chemist Warehouse. Probably actually has some soapiness in it but claims to be soap-free. Nowhere near as harsh as bar soap. Smells decent. Lathers well. Australian-made.

Wife gets QV Wash, which is less harsh and generally recommended as a gentle cleanser. Expensive, though. Also Australian-made. If you have dry skin, atopic dermatitis, etc. this is what you need.

Cetaphil is in the same section. About as expensive. Doesn't lather as well. Not sure if Australian-made.

From their perspective the people who are against school are against it for basically the same reason you’re against being hit in the head, because it’s harmful and subjecting children to it is wrong. The difference between being punched in the head, punched in the head by someone wearing boxing gloves, hit with a goofball in a sock don’t change that someone is getting hit in the head and that’s wrong. It’s like a Christian trying to convert an apostate from Islam on the basis that they’ve rejected Allah when they became an atheist because the arguments for God’s existence are insufficiently strong. The atheist will reject the Christian and any other theist as well.

The U.K. system is probably slightly more curiosity crushing and stress inducing than average as school systems go, they certainly start academic instruction well before its age appropriate, but the entire system of child warehousing under the authority of people who are to train children to sit down, shut up and do as they’re told, giving them no or minimal choice in what they do for most of their waking hours is wrong, and he system is Many have tried, they even teach their writings in Ed schools. End result, nothing.

Yes, this! Almost an entire subgroup of millennials think of microsoft as some cuddly bear. They do not realize how their machinations were so strong you could not buy a PC without Windows. PC OEMs could not sell you a PC without Windows. Or how they almost took over the web with their browser and proprietary JavaScript “extensions”.

The difference is actually that Facebook/Instagram, Google/Youtube dwarf anything else by a wide margin. So when they choose to do something it's representative and certainly relevant "on the internet". The chans or IRC are a spec in this picture.

The point was placing profits over the protection makes sense from their perspective. They take a big risk whatever option they choose, might as well make money doing it. And they will certainly be forgiven because on the internet memory is very short. Or perhaps many people just don't care. Facebook's user numbers have been steadily increasing for years.
I used to have bleeding between my knuckles after moving away from my parents in winter. At first, I thought it was a difference in humidity. Until I started using bar soap (which is what my parents had) instead of liquid soap. Since then, no more problems. I usually buy handmade soap at craft markets on medieval and metal festivals and really enjoy the smell :)

Funny, my smallish ARM Cortex-M / VGA DIY video console also works like that, with less RAM than needed for a framebuffer. There are framebuffer modes, but with less pixels/bpp than natively output by the video signal output.
> There's nothing wrong with you - I'm guessing you just had, like most of us, a fantasy about shaking up the world somehow.

That's a very interesting statement. Almost all people I know here in Poland, including myself, dream of having a life devoid of external pain, obligations, limitations etc., so that you can do whatever they choose to do. Rarely if ever anyone mentions anything about wanting to have a greater impact.

Maybe that's the next step of rich consumer society that US is at and that Poland hasn't reached yet - one in which people are aware that living (surviving in relative comfort) is easy, so they need to raise the bar for themselves somehow or they'll get depressed over the lack of challenges.

Or maybe it's just a cultural difference? American society is very much a culture of doers, while Polish is not. There are societies even richer than American, for example the Quatari, where people seem just content to mostly do not do anything particularly ambitious and just hang out.

No, not really. While no doubt there are very similar features, the intent of pixelfed is different from instagram. Instagram is centralized and controlled by a single entity...while pixelfed is decentralized - or at least federated (not unlike email federation) - and different participants can interact (or not) with others. If pixelfed, and mastodon, pleroma, etc. aren't evidence enough, many users are somewhat fed up with the centralized silos, and wish to circle back into smaller communities. Platforms like pixelfed (and other platforms) allow for that cozy feel while still allow for interaction with other communities. It can actually be refreshing.
I like the hex version better than the traditional version, although the traditional one is easily recognised as an IP address, even without context, so its probably best to stick with that ;)

This one: If you don't use Whatsapp but a friend of yours does, he has to give Whatsapp access to his address book which includes your name as well (although you don't use Whatsapp). So the question is: Does Facebook/Whatsapp have information about such passive users (e.g. the name or phone number)?
This solution seems to be optimal.
Huh? From a quick skim here[0], they don't collect IP addresses, respect DNT headers, and delete user agents after 90 days.

I legitly can't think of a more privacy-friendly way to do that. If you're paranoid enough to believe that no analytics is the only right solution, you probably have DNT on, and this is one of the rare cases in which it's actually respected.

You can make that more efficient by noting that you need σ(n) to be large, so if you know that, for example, the smallest factor of n is more than ln(n)^4 then you already know this won't be a counter-example. So general purpose factoring doesn't really help in this search, even though, as you say, it's one (naive and simple) approach.

It will work for small n, but it will quickly become infeasible.

> Do you really think that would hurt Zoom significantly?

Zoom is a publicly-traded company now, so I am sure that adoption through convenience trumps a lot of other concerns.
>And this is at the root of my objection to this, what could you possibly mean here by "not everybody uses it well"? To what or whose criteria can you possibly make such an assessment?

Well, I'm not an alien that just landed. So I have personal experience with life, an understanding of culture, an education, some historical knowledge, etc, and so I can make judgements (even without writing some full formal paper of citing stats) about people making the wrong choices in their lives.

Maybe not perfect judgments, but it's not like I'm some alien that has just landed on Earth from space, and one has to wonder how could I ever possibly "make such an assessment" for others.

But even if you ignore me as a non-authority on the matter, I can argue that people themselves frequently lament their own previous life choices and with they'd gotten with X or Y, or lament how their choice on Y brought them to the bottom, and so on.

So from that alone, we can safely assume that "not everybody uses [their assessments on what options to follow] well".

How are you supposed to get children to go to school if it’s voluntary? School isn’t a hellscape for a substantial portion of its inmates by accident. You can’t force people to attend an institution for years of their life that they hate, full of people who they have no connection with, at best, without almost total societal buy in.

Remember kids, your happiness is less important than warehousing you so your parents can go to work.
My guess would be that my skin was used to having all its natural oils washed off regularly, and had compensated by overproducing oil. Once I stopped washing the natural oils off, it took awhile for it to readjust.
keep in mind I'm talking about 99th percentile frames. I'm running a 4670k right now which easily gets over 250 fps most of the time in csgo. with multiple players, flashes, smokes, and weapon animations on screen, it can drop down to around 70. it's hard for me to notice this visually, but it does make the input feel weird.
In general people should probably bathe less than they do in Western nations. I'm also not aware of any specific studies. Warm water is generally enough, except perhaps in areas that are prone to odour (armpits, groin, etc.).

Bathing is more a social issue than a health issue.
I think you make good points but to sum it up: privilege separation wasn't needed pre-internet because vulnerabilities and computer viruses weren't that big of a problem back then.

>A lot of security issues would be gone if computers weren't so connected to each other.

I mean, sure, but having computer connected together is pretty damn amazing.

I'm actually drawing the opposite conclusion compared to yours: I think UAC doesn't go far enough. You need more finely grained permissions. That seems to be the trend too: Android, SELinux, OpenBSD's pledge... It's all about giving every process only the privileges it needs and nothing more.

They need to change their business model to be able to become privacy friendly, I totally agree. Not even sure which huge company is privacy friendly. Maybe it's not even possible at that level. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't.

My wife and I bought a 'Teach Your Kid to Read' book when the first one was a baby. We'd read to the kids every day, encouraging them to read.

It was a great decision. The kids all do well in school, and they all have benefited greatly from early reading. If you have a baby-- do this!
Gotta say those machinations were much less troubling than the multiple times they pulled the rug out from developers during the '90s. Anyone who survived the '90s who didn't internalize those lessons deserves what they got, but I do fear there is a generation which doesn't appreciate just how lucky they are to be able to build an entire career dependent only on OSS platforms.

It’s basically impossible to expel children with anything resembling a colourable legal case from the education system. That’s what the right to education means in practice. The rights of the disruptive and abusive to education do interfere with actual education but it has limited effect on school’s primary purpose, child storage during the working day.
As you say yourself, my comment not saying much being almost 500 bytes tells me more how tiny 500 bytes is, than the "visual demonstration".

The fact that it is so, tells me that the visual demonstration is off. I am not the only one who feels that way, so while it's definite that any visual demonstration will fail with some, this one seems to fail with many.

That, to me, is a bad visualisation, and defeats the purpose of the visualisation: you may call it nitpicking, I just call it bad use of a tool (visualisation and analogy). I even feel it confuses the scale, instead of clarifying it, which means that it should be called out.

Note that at no point was I claiming that 512 bytes is a lot, which you seem to also be arguing against. FWIW, I've written bootloaders in my high school days in 446 bytes, so I understand how little that is, even if one uses BIOS to drive the keyboard and the screen.

This is the biggest question to me too. Whenever I try to do something like this, my friends will do it for a short while, seemingly in support of me/the project, then fall off.

I have the same issue with making computer games too. They will try it once, say good job, and never bring it up again. I now try and approach games like, 1) what is something that I can play by myself that still brings value and 2) what is that "it feature" that will make someone curious/interested enough to come back, and focus on that.

Maybe it's the same for community sites.
The lesson here is that codepaths gated by conditionals like "if day == MONDAY" get 1/7th the testing of codepaths that aren't. If you want to have features like this, which is fine, check those code coverage reports and make sure that your tests can pretend it's Monday.

> Safe is measuring how many deaths per user various power generations sources cause.

No. Safety depends not only on deaths but on all kinds of damage. It also does not depend on how many people nuclear kills per year. That number is predictable so it isn't even a risk (to society), it's a cost.

Nuclear is unsafe because of the damage it causes in the worst case. What happens when NPPs are operating correctly isn't even relevant to the discussion.
Why don't you find it acceptable? There are plenty of jobs where there is lots of shouting involved. - much of the military, football managers for example.
I hate that mantra, as it produced more bugs and inaccuracies in the code I have to work with than necessary. Actually you should be able to rely on the equality of a value with its copy no matter what. We are past the FPU days, so I think we can let go of these mindless epsilons sprinkled over the code.

(Even during the FPU days, every ; should have rounded each value to the size of the variables, unless you use a special compiler switch to make FP math faster)
There’s certainly a argument to be made on stifling competition if even Walmart has trouble keeping up. What hope do small to moderate regional retail stores have? All that regional wealth is sucked up online and redistributed to a few managers of mangers instead of actually making the communities better by allowing people to own a part of it.

The biggest problem that’s causing income disparity is that people are consuming things rather than owning things.
