Is this a product of Apple's functional structure? Most companies are divisional, so you'd have a certain number of engineers dedicated to MacOS, who have to come up with new features to ship every year, but Apple's divisional structure makes it easier for those engineers to get pulled over to work on the new iOS feature?

I actually didn't know the answer to this until I wrote that comment last night and realised it's something I should know.

It turns out it's better for the plant for thick ice to freeze over it, than for it to just be in cold/frosty air. This is because in the process of the water freezing, it releases its heat into the plant, and this can keep it warm enough to avoid damage (up to a a point).

One way that emotional healing could possibly have real positive effects on symptoms is if the symptoms are remnants from a real disease that have passed.

As an analogy. When you’re stretching your muscles, you’re generally not actually elongating any part of your body, instead you’re teaching your nervous system that it’s safe to move your muscles in the range you’re stretching into.

Most people get to experience acute back pain in their life, and will notice how this can cause your entire back to freeze up, even well past the point of where the actual thing that caused the pain has been healed.
This is the nervous system protecting your back from hurting itself.
Making it a necessary part of rehabilitation to do stretches to show your body that the range of motion is safe again.

In the same kind of way, actively working on mentally overcoming symptoms that were your body’s reaction to real disease or trauma that has since passed, can have very real effects.

This could be in the form of meditation, therapy or even faith healing(!) [0]

I'll stop there, but there are probably 20 brands selling the same Alibaba battery tester on the first few pages with the only difference being the name stamped on the side. This is why I don't shop at Amazon. I don't trust their reviews. I don't trust that I'll receive a legitimate product. I don't trust that anyone cares about the quality of products being sold.
> First, the angle for cars results in a closer, more zoomed in picture than for the bus and bike.

That's true, but I don't think it makes much of a difference. I couldn't fix the angle, but here's the same picture with second and third images also zoomed in similarily: https://imgur.com/a/2GMcSlE

> Second, it assumes 1 occupant per car, but a full bus. More likely, each car will probably average more than 1 occupant, and buses will probably be less than half full, if not 25%.

Actually, below is an example for a few countries. Average number of persons in a car seem to be decreasing with 1.8 in the 80s, down to around 1.4 in 2005. At the same time average seat occupancy for buses seem to be around 70%. This matches what I observe everyday - vast majority of cars has only the driver inside.

it looks lovely (pure matte black with no branding gets my vote every time). The OS is a standard Debian derivative, so no surprises there, and I have the option of replacing it if I want to (haven't yet).

Build quality hasn't been fantastic to be honest - I had to return the first one because of a faulty monitor connection (but to be fair I had exactly the same problem with my 2015 MacBook too), and the replacement has a problem with its space bar. But the great thing is that I can unscrew the back with a normal screwdriver and have full access to the internals so if I get really bothered by it I can replace/upgrade/fix any of it. Purism support was great, and they encouraged me to take the back off and see if I could spot the problems, which really blew my mind after Apple support.

I've been using it for most of a year (writing this on it) and it's been a great experience. The article's view that "I'm no longer reliant on hardware" is true, though I haven't (yet) gone the next step of picking a different window manager and storing the setup for it in a git repo. It's on my to-do list though ;)
I share most of these symptoms, for years.

chronic muscle pain (and believe me, pain means pain, like a knife in your articulations), immune system dysfunction (asthma, arthritis), enlarged lymph nodes, unrefreshing sleep, tired and wired.

Current solution : see the doctors often (it makes me feel safe), tai chi twice a week + chi kung routine every day. When I'll be in better shape, I'll start swimming and running again. But the more you spend on yourself, the less you spend on family which is quite a dilemma. I eat vegetables and much less meat but can't stay away from sugar :-). I don't drink coffee/alcohol, I don't smoke (so the usual quick fix don't apply for me).

Believe me : don't ever get in that kind of problems. Every day is like half a day : you don't enjoy your life and it's borderline depression/burn out for months.
According to [1] we are already way beyond the temperatures of the medieval warm period. So not sure your argument holds. Also, apparently this effect was localized, not global.

I guess there is no one disputing that Earth climate is driven by multiple sources, so that’s not the point. The question is: are we driving climate change to a large enough extend that we could have an impact on it by changing what we do? And the consensus seems to be a strong yes. The other question is: is climate change a net negative? And again the answer seems to be a strong yes.

> AMD's apparent velocity is likely due to multiple factors, first and foremost is Intel has essentially been stuck, trying to shrink die sizes

AMD's success has nothing to do with Intel's failure.

AMD engineered a beast of a processor architecture that runs circles around the competition at a price that renders competing options obsolete. Ryzen's performance track record would not be any different even if Intel did not sold processors with security problems or succeeded shrinking die sizes.

It boggles the mind how some people try to spin AMD's outstanding progress as something that Intel did instead of a collosal technical achievement by AMD.

The Rise and Fall of a Vision: Wrightbus Enters Administration
I agree that the Conservatives suffered a colossal loss because Andrew Scheer is not leadership material.

Also, there will never be another typical Conservative majority due to mass migration. The Liberals bring 1 million Liberal-voting migrants per year into Canada. The population of which is 35 million. Simple math.

But none of this invalidates my argument that the Canadian media system is broken.
> Pretending to be a bigger company than you are is not fraud, it's perception management.

That's some pretty fancy doublespeak right there.

No. I'm sorry, but this is flat out lying. You can rationalize it all you like, but if you are lying and inventing people that don't exist, it's fraud.

This isn't even lying by omission, but actively working to deceive.

Sure, the customer may be getting full value for their money, but then why is the lying necessary?
I don't want to sit in a priority seat because some disabled/etc. people (including someone who appears healthy but has some hidden health problem, etc.) has to actually ask you to get up, etc.

Male vs. female is a societal thing. I don't really think younger women should have particular priority in seating, but I'd probably say a middle-aged woman would have reasonable priority over a middle-aged man, all things being equal. There are enough cultures where women > men for this particular issue that I tend to go with it, though.
The banks already know what happens when you issue every customer a 2FA token, because they issue you a bank card. You have to verify the customer is who they say they are before giving them the token, and have processes for dealing with a lost or stolen token.

>In the era of overtourism, the digital display isn’t just responsible. It’s authentic.

Maybe responsible (although also lazy - go visit some actual place that's not overcrowded). Not authentic.

I would call Perlan and similar aurora tourist attractions "aurora porn". They always present the biggest and brightest and usually speed up the clip so you can more easily see things moving. In reality, my experience of seeing auroras just incidentally (once while walking around town and another time while out at a remote cabin) has been perhaps not as visually striking but still emotionally moving. It was so faint and slow that I kept wondering if what I was seeing was really there. It was very much a different experience from the films I'd seen of auroras.

Of course, the big bright auroras are out there, too, but would you call buying a fish authentic fishing even if the fish you bought was more appealing than the fish you caught? I think not.
> Irreversible transactions are kind of the whole point of it

Just as a sidenote, the problem isn't that the transactions are irreversible, they're also irreversible for banks. You never reverse the actual transaction, you just create another transaction in the opposite direction. Sometimes banks accidentally sent money to the wrong (foreign) bank and kissed them goodbye. The other bank had no obligation to send it back and if the 2 don't have a relationship and don't plan on having one it's free money for the recipient.

The difference with crypto is that you're basically dealing with "untrustworthy" parties since there's no central trustworthy authority over the whole network. The advantage is that nobody can control the network. The disadvantage is that you have no leverage over the receiving party.

It's like a private individual ad-hoc lending money to a friend vs. lending money to a total stranger. There's probably no legal obligation to return it but friends most likely will.
Given the long history of atrocious crimes against humanity being committed by the US and its Coalition allies, it is logical to conclude that Assange has been chemically lobotomized in order to reduce the threat he poses to war-fighting operations.

If you want an independent view of Assange's mental health and wellbeing, you're going to have to wait. He is being held in Bellmarsh so that nobody can actually verify anything - not even his lawyers, and that IS THE POINT ENTIRELY - thus giving the CIA and its UK lackeys every opportunity to have their way with Assange, without anyone knowing anything until its well and truly, too late.

If you want 'independent verification' before you're willing to believe the state would do this to its enemies, maybe you should look at the long history of other enemies of the state being chemically lobotimized once they are held in secret conditions under the control of agents of the very military-industrial complex institutions whose crimes against humanity are being revealed.

BY DESIGN: there is no public oversight and there won't be until they have finished their lobotomy operation.

This is a serious situation which requires citizens such as yourself to have the courage to confront the details: the West has been torturing and disappearing its dissidents for decades. Go find out for yourself how bad it is.

Telemetry is a lazy, paternalistic way of improving user experience. It's a method that lets you ignore the actual feedback you're getting from your users, because that involves dealing with actual human beings - who don't always write politely or coherently. Telemetry lets you avoid collecting feedback in a way that respects the user - through in-house studies, by contracting with outside users to perform on-site studies, and just by asking people and reading what they say (and treating it seriously).

GitLab, you're not a cut-throat company run by the Ferengi, desperate to eke out a tiny bit of extra profit by whatever means necessary. You have what it takes to do it right and set an example for others.

I agree that the term "quantum supremacy" is overly grandiose, but it was clearly defined before Google published this work.

I just want to emphasise that there were people who believed that even this small step was impossible. Prominent quantum-computing skeptic Gil Kalai believes that scalable quantum computing is impossible in principle, and believes that this paper didn't achieve what it claims, but he says that his view would be refuted if they did! (This is in contrast to IBM, who isn't criticizing the quantum side of the experiment, but the comparison to classical computing; and to the Internet commentariat who are saying that even if they did everything they claim, it's not interesting).
