How do you propose for a modified equation to explain the bullet cluster?

This is not adequately explained by modified gravitation or other such effects.

One can reduces pollution by paying miners only transaction fees and not inflation. One further increase savings by utilizing an existing network, and employing time locks. More hashrate is not what matters most. Hashrate from honest, non cooperative parties is what makes the system censorship and collusion resistant. It's interesting to note that the people you "defend" yourself against in sha256 hashing are only the very same people you're paying, as only they have equipment relevant to attacking. On GPU and CPU mined algos, hash rate matters more as a larger set of humans can become attackers.

- Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 - pretty good finger print scanner on the back

- Samsung Galaxy S8 - absolutely terrible fingerprint scanner that was so bad I switched to pin after a while

- Samsung Galaxy S10 - new fingerprint scanner under display, works most of the time but still unreliable, also it is not the quickest.

You would have thought that leading brand (Samsung) would have decent fingerprint scanners on their flagships, but it is just not the case.

The thing with bad fingerprint scanners is that you cant rely on them, so I rather choose reliable slower 3s unlock with pin than unreliable maybe faster 1-10s unlock with fingerprint.

The study wasn’t there to have participants judge whether the scenario was “depressing” or not, it was to evaluate the participant’s ability to accurately assess how much objective control over a light they had. This implies that depressed individuals in the study also had to accurately judge when the lights were directly correlated with the button press, and were actually under the control of the depressed participant (so what could be considered a “non-depressing” scenario by some).

That’s not to say that negative delusion doesn’t affect people with depression, but the article does lean closer to the theory that most of the fringe observations attributed to a negative outlook may in fact be closer to reality than a normal individuals.

A healthy home-made lunch with a variety of different items in it is practically a necessity for school children. I've seen teachers scold parents for not providing a good enough lunch. However, where this article gets it wrong, IMHO, is in asserting that character bentos are indicative of the amount of effort that mothers spend on making lunches. It absolutely is not (and I've seen thousands upon thousands of bento boxes to prove it -- to myself, anyway ;-) ). It takes about 30 minutes a day to make lunches, generally. This is a long time especially when you add in cooking breakfast as well. Many women get up at 5 am to make lunch for their kids/husband before going off to work themselves.

Character bentos, as the article states, are far from the norm. When you are talking about people who think they need to make these, they are exactly the same kind of people who are stressing out about not being able to keep up with Martha Stewart's staff in the US. As far as I can tell, that pressure is entirely self imposed. The vast majority of people in society completely ignore it.

However, when the author states that there is societal and cultural pressure to achieve a certain level, it's absolutely true. This is not just with respect to women, but also with men as well. It's a double edged sword, though. For example, with bentos, you have an entire country where in almost every household you have at least one person who knows how to make healthy food and who practices it every day. You have country of school children, all of whom eat at least one home cooked meal every single weekday. You have no opportunity to for big business to negotiate what's going to be included in the school lunch because for the most part there is no school lunch. It is objectively a good thin.

There is a price, though. Is the price too high? I'm definitely on the fence at that. I used to make bentos and breakfast for my wife and I every single morning. We have no children, but to be honest, making 2 or 4 bentos takes virtually no extra time (and, in fact, 2 is sometimes difficult to manage the really small amounts of ingredients you have to use). Of the things that working women need to do for their families, this is probably the least onerous IMHO.

Precisely.

> ...But the speed of light is, along with the way acceleration and redshift work.

Are you referring to the cosmological component of redshift? I suppose that, at least in principle, we could determine the cosmological component by first measuring the Hubble constant from the change in distance, over time, of those stars whose distance can be measured without any assumptions about redshift, but has that actually been done? (or some other experiment that directly calculates the cosmological component of redshift?) OP's claim is that we already have sufficient experimental results, not that we could, in principle, get them. AFAIK, experimental error in these stellar distance measurements is too large, and they are over too short a period of time, for the rate of expansion of the universe to be taken directly from them (note that the anomaly that is the subject of the article itself brings into question the accuracy of the cosmic distance ladder.)

> A chain of logic that starts with the evidence we have, goes on to what telescopes show elsewhere, and then concludes about expansion, is not circular.

It seems pretty clear that OP was thinking that if we were to observe the universe from a distant galaxy, it also would seem to be at the center of the expansion - but that would be the case in both scenarios, so it does not actually distinguish between them. If, however, OP had in mind some other set of measurements that, when combined with those from Earth, distinguish between the scenarios, then the question becomes, can you deduce what those far-away measurements would be without choosing between the two scenarios, either explicitly or implicitly? If that choice is being made, then you are begging the question. What set of measurements and calculation do you have in mind that avoid this circularity? (the above-mentioned redshift measurements are a separate issue, both because they are clearly not what OP had in mind, and because they do not depend on any calculation of what observations would be made from a distant galaxy.)
Can someone explain to me how something like this is technically possible? And by "explain" I don't mean "ELI5", be all the technical you want. How can you design a fingerprint reader that lets anybody in like this?
I don't think there's anywhere where it's illegal to record conversations of both parties know about it.
Although legally you might be right, and I'm _sure_ that this is written somewhere in that 4 pages of small print that you didn't read. In practice, no-one is going to be aware of this, and because the "big tech" company isn't ensuring that all users are aware of the contract that they have entered has been adequately explained to them, they are arguably at fault for not ensuring that proper authorisations have been obtained.
So now Pixel phones have the perfect spy chip and they call it "private" because it doesn't record images. But then they don't say what data it records and what they do with it. What they do have is boatloads of stupid buzzwords for the dumbest phone user imaginable. That doesn't bode well at all.
I know it's been said by many, but I will repeat once again.

Elixir is a very cool and powerful language for building web apps.

Having built my first product (https://retrochat.xyz) in Elixir, I can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who is not happy with their current backend language(Ruby, Python, Js, etc).

Docs, functional programming, OTP, ecosystem(Phoenix, Ecto, Mix) are really top notch. In my opinion, you will be able to reach much higher productivity (especially long term) in Elixir than in Ruby, which is known for it's high level of productivity. Sounds like a fairy tale, right? Well, that fairy tale can become a reality with Elixir.

The only thing that is a bit of pain is a good release support, but that has been changing for better.

I think the "unwitting" part is what is the bigger issue here. I know it is conspiracist, but some think Google was founded with the backing of the CIA.

A jail with no walls, just like China's.

Reminds me of a funny story:
A few years back on a visit to Beijing, was hustled on a street corner to purchase what appeared to be a brand new iPhone (a 7, if memory serves), for a ridiculous price.
The seller handed it to me to play with, and proudly demoed the fingerprint unlock feature. The interface looked flawless (given that it was Chinese).
Naturally, it was a fake. Doing a hard reboot brought the green Android bucket at boot.

As for the unlock feature, it took the user through all steps of fingerprint setup only to work with any finger (or anything else warm toughing it, for that matter).

More complex PoW, such as a memory hard one requiring several GB of memory to solve efficiently, can lower the efficiency gap between GPUs and ASICs to about one order of magnitude, but not much less.

I believe that quote was in reference to the Rift DK1, which had a 1280x800 full persistence, slow response panel but pretty poor panel utilization. The usable resolution per eye was something below 600x600. It was plausible to build a DK1-like headset in 2008. That is, something just good enough to show that compelling gaming content could be created for VR and that a device could be delivered at a consumer price point.

Getting to an actual comfortable consumer-quality product would still have required solving for low-persistence, fast response, higher PPI, and positional tracking. We couldn’t have delivered that in 2008, but if we had DK1 in 2008, we could have pulled it in a few years from the consumer Rift launch in 2016.

Elixir, the language, the frameworks, and the community have been a blessing to my professional life.

If allowed me to learn the paradigm of functional programming and build systems quicker than ever before. Combined with the Phoenix framework, I prototyped a tool within a few days that would end up changing my life. I turned it into a SaaS business (called FeedbackPanda) with my partner, and it has been turning my life around for the better.

Thank you Jose for being such a key person in all of that without knowing it. Your insights and determination to leverage new tech combined with a proven software paradigm. Spot on!
I assume you ask that because you are aware that any device with the capabilities of a smartphone can be made into a powerful surveillance device by whoever the entity is that has control over it.

I see variations of that argument very often. Its essence goes like this:

A: This is a proven threat.

B: But so could be this and that.

A: Right, could be.

B: But we can't get rid of them all, so let's just do nothing.

Here person B somehow convinced themselves that doing anything in that regard to be futile because they can't solve this class of problems once and for all.

There is a distinction between possible threats on one side and an existing threat based on evidence on the other side.

Any device with the capabilities of a smartphone can be nefarious, but doesn't have to be. Any Android device certainly is.

So I'd like to tell people to turn off their Android devices, but may they keep using their open hardware and software phone, because I don't see them as the threat, but the entity that controls their Android device.
In the scenario "I forgot my phone and now it's gone" the Yubikey offers perfect security, because I'm unlikely to loose both my phone and my keyring with my YubiKey (that assessment might not hold for a woman with a handbag). In any targeted attack it's useless.
Yeah, all my phones have been Xiaomis where the scanner is fantastic. The latest one, the 9T, has an in-display scanner, and you're spot on. It's usually okay, but sometimes gives me trouble, and this burstiness is what irritates me to no end.
> Energy on it's own is not dirty or clean. You cannot test the wires in the wall to say yep, this energy is clean.

Yes. "Clean/dirty energy" is a shorthand for clean/dirty energy sources.

Sure. Taxing emissions is a necessary but not sufficient component of a sane energy policy.
I'll find it more intuitive to do both as an imperative series of steps.

Some of my friends are in love with FP. I am not. I've done more FP than most, I can work with it, but my brain has never become in tune with it. I can bang out my intent as imperative code in real time, but with FP I have to stop and think to translate.

FP also means that I can't always easily tell the runtime complexity of what I'm writing and there's a complex black box between my code and the metal.

Maybe some of my friends' brains are superior and can think in FP, all the more power to them. but empirical evidence is that most people are not capable of that, so FP will probably forever remain in the shadow of imperative programming.
F-Droid isn't a "system app" so it can't even ask for permissions. If it was added as a system app in a custom ROM, then it'd be able to use the undocumented interfaces to install apps.
