I can't speak for all nations, but certainly here in northern Europe, NGOs and others have worked for decades on preservation efforts, in concert with local organizations. Deforestation (especially the Amazon rainforest) has been a high priority for conservation and environmental efforts for decades.

So please don't think that we only started caring about Amazonia because a person with disagreeable politics was elected recently. Deforestation affects everyone, it's a global issue.

However, said person has made a number of statements that are directly threatening towards the future preservation of South American rainforests, and thus the awareness and conservation efforts have increased their visibility, in order to counteract the damage your governments politics will do to the rainforest.
I'm quite curious about Waves. There have been a number of unsuccessful attempts (that I'm aware of) to make a dating site/app with kink matching, but it's hard to keep the emphasis on sexual compatibility from completely overwhelming the other aspects of dating.

Looking at their site, there doesn't appear to be any obvious secret sauce (the app is not available where I am) except perhaps that the range of 'kinks' they're catering to is limited to the mildest and most popular, so maybe they're targeting a slightly more mainstream userbase?

The 'lib' is generally mandatory so that the GCC/clang linker flag can find the binaries in its search path. '-lpng' means 'find libpng.a or libpng.so'. Hence many, many C libraries have it as part of the name of the project. In general the 'lib' prefix in a name means 'this is a C library', or at least now in the days of Rust, 'you can link to this with a C linker or normal FFI'.

Considering that, 'spng' is different enough from 'png'.
I stil remember the initial announcement of this years ago... I wasn't able to use it back then but saved it for later.

I'm currently in a situation in which I'd love to use osquery which is why I tried it out a few month ago.

Sadly, there wasn't any inbuilt multi-node/cluster functionality to speak of.

I gave up on it as it's utility is pretty low if you're constrained to localhost queries... And the third party "cluster" tools looked pretty barebones and seemed a hassle to setup. And not even really useful, as they just enable you too execute queries on several nodes.

I would want to do queries across servers. (I.e. select load,uptime, hostname where servertype "worker" and kernelversion "3.4")

there was very little value for me which I could already get with an adhoc Ansible task on my servers

Or move about in the model, and position 2d image and camera so it aligns, and project/paint the image.

We certainly learned the human burden the Soviets bore, including their less-than-Western regard for life, as a part of the war in my public school.

Yeah I'm surprised there's so much focus on the license of a free library that's also OSS. The AGPL/OSS license only applies if you're creating a custom build from source in OSS projects, if you're just using #Script from the official NuGet package you're using the commercial license which is free to use without restrictions for both commercial/non-commercial usage.

#Script started out as an alternative to Razor Pages [1] (where it was initially called ServiceStack Templates [2]) to give ServiceStack Apps a productive alternative to Razor for developing server-driven Web Apps, but as it's highly extensible without external deps or reliance in external tooling it was easy to re-purpose as a dynamic emeddable language to be able to basically script any .NET App, hence the rebrand to a stand-alone #Script language, all the whilst its implementation remained in the core ServiceStack.Common assembly. If it becomes an issue we can look at pulling it out of the main ServiceStack repo in a stand-alone repo with a weaker copyleft OSS license, but it would require a bit of work and would need to ensure it's not disruptive to existing ServiceStack Customers, I just didn't expect there to be any issue for a gratis library that's also OSS.

Incidentally the ServiceStack.Glue library that the Desktop Apps use to embed .NET Core Apps in a Chromium Desktop Shell is MIT [3].

For a lot of practical applciations, this seems a great option. I get the arguments for viridis/inferno etc, but the fact that on a very light or dark background, you are always losing the ability to see one end of the spectrum is annoying.

Also: he systematically defended serial rapists by using violence against women and kids and there are even some indications he did more than just defend them.

He, like a LOT of famous psychiatrists, certainly also including Hans Asperger, should be treated like dr. Mengele and excised from the profession, all their theories replaced in psychological texts, to be replaced with a warning. Like in medical texts that there were famous and incredibly horrible crimes committed by famous psychiatrists.

The only use Freud and Asperger should have for the profession is to illustrate the need for an ethical code of conduct and severe penalties for even mild violations of it. Because you just cannot imagine how horrible the lives of quite a few people got with "help" from these people.

Not for me. When confronted to death or intense pain, everything else becomes insignificant and futile. And when things go back to normal, I tend to forget. I suppose that to be fully functional human beings, we need to ignore the harsh reality of life! Is it really possible to "internalize mortality"? I know some people try very hard but are they immune to anxiety and daily worries, are they happier? I haven't met such a person yet.

Sql server is inferior to postgres.

> What technology tied to .net do you see as inferior? Most technologies these days aren't tied to a programming language.

Didn't say anything was tied to .NET. I said Microsoft educated a whole industry of .NET developers to never look outside the MS stack. That's two different things.

Which MS technologies I consider inferior to non MS alternatives, but .NET developers insist on using despite them being inferior?

Let's start with the elephant in the room: Azure...

Azure Web Apps. They are slower than ElasticBeanstalk or AppEngine and only run on IIS, so .NET Core devs can't even run their .NET Core apps to their full potential by running it on Kestrel or Kestrel behind something like nginx. This itself is embarrassing and the fact that still so many people don't look beyong Azure Web Apps just because it's Microsoft is just mind blogging.

This kind of stories I find them scary but inspiring at the same time. Quite interesting.
As someone that has been on and off .NET since the pre-release days (thanks to working at a MSFT partner back in the day), the constant reboots from the last couple of years, and breaking changes across .NET Framework and .NET Core (e.g. WCF, EF 6 tooling), inspire a wait-and-see attitude among a large majority of us.

> The bull case is that it has the potential to become as valuable as Marriott which is about $43 Billion in market cap.

Um.. that's one bull case, but the article presents a much stronger case (namely, the one that WeWork itself is making). That is, that WeWork will do to offices what AWS did to servers - make it so the average company never buys physical servers, but rather outsources all of those operations to Amazon.

Analogously, WeWork is imagining a world in which companies never build offices - it's not their core competency, after all. Rather, most companies just get an office at a WeWork instead.

So their potential market is huge - they've only tapped a tiny tiny percentage of "all people who work at a desk".

> Perhaps if they hadn't raped, pillaged, and plundered their way through Europe they would've seen a bit more celebration from their erstwhile allies.

Makes you wonder why Americans did get that celebration then:

"In 1945, after the end of the war in Europe, Le Havre was filled with American servicemen awaiting return to the States. A Le Havre citizen wrote to the mayor that the people of Le Havre were "attacked, robbed, run over both on the street and in our houses" and "This is a regime of terror, imposed by bandits in uniform."[4] A coffeehouse owner from Le Havre testified "We expected friends who would not make us ashamed of our defeat. Instead, there came only incomprehension, arrogance, incredibly bad manners and the swagger of conquerors."[6] Such behavior also was common in Cherbourg. One resident stated that "With the Germans, the men had to camouflage themselves—but with the Americans, we had to hide the women."" [1]

I wonder if it had anything to do, with the much better implemented propaganda machine, USA had in Western Europe after WWII.

Rejuvenation Technologies is based on this paper: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4415018/

I hope they can get this to work! The issue is their paper uses technology covered by other players in the space who have a decade head start and significant research budgets. Maybe they'll get bought out, but my guess is delivery and CMC are hurdles they'll run up against and then have a hard time getting follow-on investors. FIH for this idea is going to be really hard. If they can get this going, I'd love to see adding in additional components of the telomerase holoenzyme.

Edit - Their IP position is actually pretty strong and they are already thinking about delivering the other holoenzyme components: https://patents.google.com/patent/US20140242155A1

I hope they lean on the exosome delivery idea discussed within, "In highly preferred embodiments, the delivery vehicle is an exosome". That would really differentiate them from the competition. The real test will be biodistribution in non-rodent models. I will be following closely!

Agreed! But a big majority of phones out there, especially in secondary markets to the US like Latin America are locked by default from within the Telcos, and will go though several hands before ending on a shelf or refurbished and sent to the middle east.

Each country has different policies when it comes to unlocking. Locked phones greatly outnumber unlocked ones.

Take Chile, where phones must be legally unlocked by the telco or manufacturer to work WITHIN other operators in the country, but not necessarily abroad.

Buy an "unlocked" phone from a Chilean and you might get stuck with a brick.

The different and complex type of unlocking levels Apple has for its devices (and there are many) are designed to assist the Telco and any countrywide regulatory policies that need to be enforced.

There are many parts to this jigsaw puzzle.
As an art teacher, I have certainly seen the best artists evolve naturally from those who also work the hardest. As Weisberg mentions in 'Creativity: Beyond the Myth of Genius', when the Beatles moved to Hamburg, they were a run of the mill band. When they returned, they were the Beatles as we know them. The reason: gigging four hours a day, seven days a week over one year.

However, I have also seen other factors play a part. Certainly, the very intelligent artists are prone to self-destruictive criticism, and frequently fade from view. But in my experience, the most important thing an artists can posses is a coherent sense of self.
