Just an aside: one thing people who harp on India's population problem seem to miss is that the fertility rates in India are on a steady downward trend. Indeed, it's below replacement level in several Indian states. See here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_states_and_union_terri... . The literacy rates too are improving ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literacy_in_India) as are the poverty levels (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poverty_in_India). It's no coincidence that India's poorest states are also its most populous and also most illiterate. They also happen to wield the most political power in India.

The trouble is that India has a social bootstrapping problem. India's governance depends on the leaders Indians elect, which means that the electorate sets the policy followed by the leaders. And this electorate is largely poor and illiterate. This means that vastly sub-optimal policies get followed than what would be ideal. Often religious, casteist and nationalistic tropes are an easier sell than those based on science, commonsense and reason. But it also has the advantage that draconian policies that oppress the citizens don't get implemented.
Coincidentally, a point of view against the supposed benefits of early and narrow specialisation:

Actually squatting is legal within its limit. One might also bring the counterargument that RWE legally squatted other people's properties and evicted them - while creating immense cost for the tax payers. [1] Not everybody was so comfortable with moving away.

It's been widely accepted by the public that PureFlex Pro Review man boobs is a hereditary thing often referred to as "Gynecomastia". It's often reported in teens who are undergoing bodily changes due to hormones. And of course adult males are the ones that suffer the most from this condition.

Often men will become aware of their developing "man boobs" and decide to exercise their chest muscles with extreme motivation...understandably!

However just working the chest or "spot lifting" as it's referred to can often have the reverse effect making the appearance of an even larger set of...well man-boobs!

It's a better idea to take a whole-body approach to working out and allow the fat deposits on the pec muscles melt away or be converted to muscle. Working out the entire body all the muscle groups will speed up metabolism and consequently fat will be burned for energy.

I think we need to make a distinction between two kinds/styles of play:

1. Coming up with an unexploitable strategy, then scaling it up by playing as many hands as you can, earning the slim expected value each time.

2. Picking a good table / card room / 'scene', and then trying to extract as much value from it as possible.

You most often see 1 online, and 2 live, for obvious reasons.

A skilled human would be a lot more successful, I believe, than a bot in case 2. For 2, important skills are:

1. Be entertaining. You have to play in a way that is entertaining to those playing with you, such that they want to continue playing with you (and losing money to you). Good opponents (i.e. that are bad at poker but want to play high stakes) are hard to find, it is vital that you retain them.

2. Cultivate a table image, then exploit it. Especially important for tournament play, where you have the concept of "key hands" that you really need to win to potentially win the tournament. With the right table image, you may be able to win hands you otherwise wouldn't have won.

3. Exploit the specifics of the players you are playing against. Yes, that also makes you exploitable, but the idea is to stay one step ahead of your opponents.

Also, pass is a Linux application and Bitwarden cloud-based. So, no, those aren't relevant alternatives.
There is also FLIF (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Lossless_Image_Format) which has a nice property: it is adaptive by design, that is, you can only look at the first X bytes and get a first approximation of the image, and the further you go, the better it becomes.
It also allows for both lossless and lossy compression.

I wonder how they compare.

Border security are not idiots. They know about travel mode.

Travel mode works because it can’t be changed on device and so moves the vault out of border security jurisdiction.

They can have probable cause to search your phone and will if they want to but they are unable to put you in a room with a browser and make you download something, so hence it’s out reach.
It's pretty easy to salt the firmware with malware if you are the company making counterfeit NICs. This makes them very necessarily a major security risk.

This is a nuclear option and the issue isn't getting updates, the issue is being silent and not offering any control over that. See my other replies about Windows Defender about what i meant with that.
Last year Germany exported about 9% of its electricity. So the country could reduce their use of lignite (~ 24% of total energy produced) by at least this amount.

And I think the math is off there - if Germany cuts 24% of its energy production over a couple of years, energy may become more expensive, driving away the factories using extreme amounts of electricity[1]. It would not result in losing a lot of jobs, and may even force some industries to become much more efficient (thus generating an advantage over competitors).

I remember reading a study that said this was not caused by poverty, at least not alone. It's also cultural. There are poorer areas in the world where they don't "burn to clear fields, cook stove with wood and burn cow dung" and also open defecation. At least that's what the study said, and that people doing these weren't all particularly poor. It would require a huge cultural shift and change of habits. Something that is really hard to do unfortunately.

> Whereas if rich countries take the problem seriously, add carbon taxes and tariffs and whatever other measures needed, they have moral, economic, legal, and even military levers against those who don't sign on.

I think we're on the same page here. So an agreement between the USA and China would be an example of a great start, to get the rest of the world to follow suit. Let's frame the problem like that.

Realistically this is not going to happen in time to make serious global change by 2030. So in the mean time, we're also going to need real talk about the specific effects of climate change, and how to adapt and mitigate as much as we can.

We will be dealing with a global catastrophe, full stop. Pretending that isn't so isn't going to help the hundreds of millions of people now living near the margins of survival that will be tipped in the near future. Neither is framing the whole thing as a "choice" between the impossible and the inevitable.

The fate of our great-great grandchildren is very much at stake though.

I don't watch it, don't find it appealing, but I don't watch "reality shows" either, and consider them pure rubbish. I think videos like hers are very close to reality shows. Many people like those, right? They just simply entertain a range of viewers.

If you have children, or younger siblings, you will know they consume those like candies. Is it generational? I don't think so, unless "Internet, Youtube, Social Media... etc." is counted as a generation--which might as well be.
What I was arguing is that raising taxes revenues instead of profits (when companies declare no profits as part of tax-avoidance schemes) will eventually make them declare and pay taxes on real profits.

You have a point here, but what really is at stake here is tax-evasion, not reduction.

The company declares no profits in France (and thus pays no tax) because its profit is fraudulently passed as costs to pay for IP or services for the mother company in another country.
This isn't due to Linux being faster, a capability based system that exposed an area of storage with an fs library would basically be app -> hardware vs app -> expensive cxt switch -> vfs -> fs -> hardware.
I completely agree, my wording was perhaps ambiguous.

What I meant was that the average person doesn't perceive it as such, IOW they don't see the benefits of the Federal government, which is not to say that there are no benefits for the average person.

This is probably because there is a lack of publicity about how these types of programs improve people's daily lives.

Instead we get a lot of politicians talking about how wasteful these are, or how it's part of the nanny state, or stifling growth by taxes.

And the media doesn't generally oppose this viewpoint... As a example, I remember during the Democrat debate in Miami where Sanders was not asked how his healthcare would help people, but whether it would raise taxes.

Why so many people still want to watch hollywood movies is what I would ask instead.

That logic doesn't apply neatly because 40% of their electricity comes from renewables which aren't necessarily dispatchable. They might be exporting, eg, solar surplus at noon and have exactly what is needed at night.

I was a booster until they added a terrible feature to bypass master password on smartphone app with pin.

Previously, with every restart of the phone, you needed to enter master. After, only when the pin is misentered once. They added this ‘new feature’ right when I was installing everything on a new personal laptop. As I recall it, I was entering the master password on my phone, over and over. One of the characters had a shift, which was a pain in the . On iPhone. So I made it lower case. Then, I updated my phone, got the 1password update, and didn’t enter the master for over a month.

Finally, I misentered the pin, and got kicked to the master. Well, you can guess what happened. I was locked out.

You know, a password works because you remember it. My situation revealed the design flaw of bypassing that. If you don’t enter the master for a long time, you lose the habit and increase the risk of losing it.

For me this is the classic example of the corrosive drive to renew a perfectly good product, which ruins the product for some users. But as a designer, I think it’s a fail, but you can’t tell them that.
Unfortunately this is a "middlebrow dismissal": you know a fact, but not the whole context, and therefore end up claiming that something won't work when in practice it works fine. The code uses the SPI peripheral, it's not generating the 1s and 0s individually but handing a buffer of them over to the OS which will DMA them out.

GIMP and Krita focus on different stuff even if some of their functionality overlaps. GIMP focuses on photo editing whereas Krita focuses on digital painting. This sort of focus affects what priorities functionality for each program gets.

And this can take decades, until swimming in the water doesn't impact health.

People overstate the catastrophic like they overstate the flaws of the liberum veto. Note that this system of government worked for hundreds (longer than most even remotely comparable states) of years and matured over time in precedential fashion. The royal elections were surprisingly civil and orderly. The distribution of power was according to principles of subsidiary. The 19th century provided historians an opportunity for overly critical assessments resulting from a combination of Poles looking for the causes behind the failure of their state and invaders rationalizing their partitioning of Poland.

The ultimate failure of the Polish state is complex, involving a confluence of factors including catastrophic invasions, uprisings, foreign meddling, and internal conflict that stifled necessary reforms to deal with all of these.

A good, short introduction to the development of the Polish state from the 10th century onward is Adam Zamoyski's "Poland: A History"[0].

As for expanding into "3rd world" markets, the average monthly Senegalese salary appears to be 139€. And this is a country considered to be doing well in the region.

They're expanding and offering "free internet" because there's nowhere else to go. Because even though it's poor now, there's growth, and they want to be established and deeply encroached when those markets will become worth it. Because they believe better and wider internet coverage will spur even more growth.

The only reason these companies can exist and be worth anything today is because of all the groundwork and investment that has been and continuously is made.

If your question is merely why yours only lasts a couple days when mine lasted a week, it might've just been due to a difference in air contact or something, since in my case I think I pretty much filled a glass to the brim, put plastic wrap over it, and left it like that in the fridge for a week. I think my goal in that particular experiment was just to show orange juice doesn't inherently need special treatment to last that long.

But I thought the whole debate here is whether they're doing something to commercial juice that's different from what you get when you squeeze your own. In which case... shouldn't you be comparing home-squeezed vs. the store-bought ones that are not pasteurized or from concentrate? The ones that are claiming they're absolutely nothing but just squeezed orange juice? If the label already says it's been treated differently then there's nothing to investigate...
