U know that especially pixel phones can be unlocked[0] for alternative roms without google?

Alternatively you can debloat an android with a desktop thanks to adb, when you don't want to unlock and reset your phone for a new rom.

There are already enough open source alternatives to replace Google software from android phones. Even some who replace Google play services for the apps that need it, while only having minimal contact with Google servers.

Especially with your needs it is really easy to go Google free on the phone you already own. In any other place I would think you just don't know better, but here it just sounds like an excuse.

I think this is exactly what people need. That is, something quick and a bit humorous yet informative; something that gives you a high-level overview, so that you don't get baffled by the 1000-page thick Dragon book or whatnot.
> It's not completely clear whether there are any psychotherapies that are better than placebos.

What can be said for sure, and which was my original point, is that regardless of which one is "better", they are not the same thing at all. They are two very different distinct concepts that describe two very different existing phenomena.

Incidentally, it is very clear to me, based on my life experience (and that includes using critical thinking to approach life) and experience of many other people I've met that in most cases real psychotherapy is quite effective, unlike most uses of placebo. Although there seem to be cases of placebo that are exceptionally effective too, so who knows?

This is of course just an anecdote and I don't have any studies at my fingertips right now that somehow calculate and compare the relative effectiveness of the two. I would imagine that using and especially scaling placebo in effective manner is difficult because it relies on active ignorance of the user.

Road map to frontend development:

1. Learn about internet (domains, http, browsers, servers etc)

2. Build something with html and css. Learn about accessibility (so many people don't properly add all the properties on their html tags)

3. Learn javascript to add interactivity.

4. Get a book for functional programming. Most modern ui frameworks use a lot of functional concepts. Learn a functional language too. (Elixir is pretty)

5. Deployment, stuff that was supposed to be backend engineers job but now you can do it. Functions, cloud stores, cdns, etc.

5. Look for jobs on the job boards and see which framework is trending right now.

6. Build a HN clone in it.

Thank you for coming to my hn talk.
Cool, it can really help AI tech getting deployed in real world senarios.

Good. The industry has a long history of deceptive practices. ABC Financial serves as the merchant processor and membership management for many gyms. They make it onerous to cancel memberships.

And then there’s Town Sports International (NYSC). They locked me in a lifetime membership for $49.99/m which sounded great 10 years ago. Every year, this increased 5% as a “service charge.” Fine, it was still a good price 7 years later. Then, they reneged and started charging me $80/m saying the old deal was no longer valid and when I disputed they said “well, pull up the agreement.” Damn, fine, I’ll pay $80. I finally canceled last month when they changed my main gym to “elite” status and have been charging me $120/m for 3 months without any indication. On top of that, they’ve been charging $20 for every “declined” transaction for those 3 months. Canceling was a nightmare in itself and I still fear they might do something stupid like send a bill that doesn’t exist to collections. They just look for any way to milk money from customers- even charging members while all gyms are closed: https://www.newsweek.com/coronavirus-new-york-gym-membership...

They’re scumbags and hope their day of reckoning comes.
Add functional programming to the list.
Beating a dead horse here, but the "ventilators" that Elon Musk bought were 5-year old discontinued models that aren't even made any more. Moreover, these CPAP machines (technically BiPAP) are now suspected to be the reason for the extremely high fatality rate in Washington. In order to use these for COVID19 patients, medical facilities first need to make substantial modifications (such as adding filtering mechanisms).

So, not only do I stand by my initial comments, but it is the opinion of multiple medical experts with actual experience treating COVID19 patients that these machines are actually be harmful to use in a clinical situation without substantial modifications requiring resources the hospitals don't have. https://khn.org/news/covid19-ventilator-shortage-substitutin...

Sure, 60 seconds then. I put the moka pot under cold water, unscrew the bottom, rinse the grinds out, and rinse the grinds tray. Done. There's no need to rinse the top part(the one where coffee goes) or the bottom one(where the cold water is). I give it a wash every now and then. Maybe it's not 5 seconds but it's very very quick, I can definitely prepare multiple cups of coffee in quick succession(especially since one pot easily makes enough strong coffee brew to make 2 cups out if it if you add boiling water).
ISO tends to be aggressive about their intellectual property, and given the prices of the standards, few people bother re-writing them to avoid their copyright. They have a lot of somewhat obscure standards that are highly priced, such as ISO/IEC 29192-x lightweight cryptography standards (each being ~60 bucks a pop).
I see. But you basically only tweak grind fineness and amount per cup? or does your machine lets you adjust other parameters?
I understand a professional not wanting to learn a new UI for something as complex as graphics editing, but if you are admittedly mostly using it to resize images, I can't imagine why any other tool, including the infamous Gimp, would be so hard to "learn"?
I believe it has been known for about 15 years now, that ACE2 positive epithelial cells are a potential vector for the coronavirus family of viruses.

I think with SARS-CoV-2 the pathogenesis is still not properly understood. For e.g. if you take a look at the ACE-2 expressing cell distribution, the tongue and oral cavity are very high on the list. And yet, there is no current guidance on disinfecting food before eating it, even though its a potentially high-risk route of infection.

We use the Zoom standalone mostly. So Firefox isn't involved in the Zoom side.

Jitsi works fine with small groups. But if we have >10 Firefox users in a room it doesn't for us. Maybe if you have much better internet than we have or otherwise better resources it works for you?

We were using a WebRTC based tool before Corona (DFN), and had deprecated Zoom, unfortunately the people running that didn't manage to scale it up sufficiently in the crisis, hence we had to fallback to Zoom.

I wonder what fossil treasures are sitting beneath the ice in Antarctica. Most people don't realize how massive the continent is since it doesn't show up fully on maps - it is nearly 1.5 times the size of America.

You are wrong. This is the current state of webrtc.

Without considerable hacks (patent-encumbered unaccelerated wasm ffmpeg encoding of pixel data, rolling your own SRTP-like encrypted stream over datachannels and full mesh distribution of keys) this is not currently possible for anything other than a full mesh. Whenever an SFU (effectively a MITM) is involved (needed for more than a small number of participants) e2e encryption is lost.

If/when Insertable Streams are commonplace, this will be possible without so many hacks.

I was really bummed out by the loss of the headphone jack for a long time. Three things have made that situation better:

1. You can get 3rd party adaptors that also supply power.

2. Wireless charging pads! This is perfect for when your phone is plugged in next to speakers.

3. AirPods. I still use wired headphones when I'm doing audio stuff (b/c of latency and sound quality), but for every day listening they are great.

What does "still slowly killing us" even mean? Life is slowly killing us because everyone everywhere is getting old and is dying. It has been that way since the first multi-cell organism. What does this have to do with our way of life?

If our current way of life is killing us slower than all other previous ways of life, then it is surely better than them? What kind of characterization is it even, what does it accomplish?

What is "a way of life" anyway? Sedentary, no-sports? Eating farm-produced food? Watching TV? Having clothes? Driving cars? Living in individual houses instead of big villages?

This simply isn't true. See for instance Batra v Wolf et al, among many other examples:

https://www.loeb.com/en/insights/publications/2008/04/batra-...

> Plaintiff Ravi Batra, a bald, Indian-American lawyer involved in a judicial corruption scandal, filed a libel-in-fiction claim against the writers, producers and broadcasters of the television show Law & Order, claiming that an episode about a judicial bribery scandal that included a character who was a bald, Indian-American lawyer named Ravi Patel was defamatory. The court reached this holding after noting that no libel-in-fiction law suit in New York state court had survived a motion to dismiss in almost 25 years, and then denied defendants’ motion to dismiss.

Actual malice is additionally only necessary if the victim is a public figure.

This sounds like it could be a great inspiration for AI-based projects.

I understand that for their flagship production, they want people to draw true 4k all digital. But for most projects, I'd wager that a good AI upscaling and cleanup can take a hand-drawn paper character to a usable 4K plate.

Similarly, I don't think the contractors doing in-between frames need to work in HDR. It should be good enough to upconvert their images from SDR to HDR based on the adjacent HDR keyframes.

As for the background images, I myself already felt frustrated a few times when trying to get my 12MP SDR vacation photos displaying nicely on a 4K HDR TV, so solving that problem might even have a consumer angle.

To increase potency, the researchers also used a new drug delivery approach involving of a fingertip-sized patch of 400 tiny microneedles that inject the spike protein pieces into the skin, where the immune reaction is strongest. The patch is stuck on like a plaster and the needles – which are made entirely of sugar and the protein pieces – simply dissolve into the skin.

No refrigeration required either. Nice! Scalability is a key consideration.

The phrase 'undefined behavior' only makes sense in the context of an ISO standard.

For any particular combination of compiler, OS and computer architecture there are no 'undefined behaviors'; you only care about the concept if you want portability to a different compiler/OS/architecture.

So the idea that C++ sucks because of 'undefined behavior', so let's use some random language without an ISO standard or any portability guarantees at all is completely and utterly insane.
>The whole conclusion was that "a flu won't cause [society to break down]"

This does not minimize the harm a flu can do, it puts it in perspective. Nuclear bombs going off over LA, London, New York, and Beijing probably would not cause society to break down. That does not mean that does not mean that it wouldn't be terrible, deadly, and disruptive.

When planning for how to prepare and deal with this pandemic, people should not be preparing for some Mad-Max scenario where an assault rifle is their most valuable possession.
I wasn't thinking necessarily about pure vanilla JS, though that's certainly an interesting experiment that would lead to a better understanding of what something like React actually does. I was thinking about choosing the right tool for the job or scale of the job. If what you're definitely doing is an SPA, then you should probably assess how the nature of the application relates to the tools you'll choose. For many smaller things though, I'd doubt the necessity for an SPA at all, and vanilla JS would likely suffice. Considering that React is largely just one piece of the puzzle, it can easily be replaced in most cases by vanilla JS I'd think.

The US could not want to invade, instead opting to arm and assist an insurgency in Venezuela. A cruise liner that is supposed to be arrested in Buenos Aires would make for an excellent way to smuggle in supplies and mercenaries. Or they want a civil war that they can then assist with.

We have done similar things in the past, in Syria and a host of Latin American countries. Even in Venezuela, the US aid Maduro forbid was very likely being used for some kind of smuggling. There is a standard international practice for providing aid that the US completely ignored, earning condemnation from international agencies.

You don't even need to be in a big empty country like that...Even here in Germany there are plenty of depressed rural areas especially in the east.

As long as it doesn't have convenient access to the rail network or an autobahn you can find a plot with a small, old house on it even 2-3 hours drive from Berlin for next to nothing in a village that had 2x today's population in 1990 (and everyone left there today are old people).

EDIT: example via quick googling of the least-densely populated districts in Germany: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prignitz

It has fewer people living in it today than it had in 1875 (earliest available data) & half as much as it had in its peak in 1950. It is about 2 hours drive from Berlin according to google maps.
Yes, that is the "full mesh" that I mention in my comment...

This platform - and jitsi/janus/zoom/whatever - all use an SFU for more than a handful of participants.
The cell is an analog computer, but one who's computational state we are still working out describing (it consists of the concentrations of transcription factors as well as epigenetic modifications of DNA and chromatin), and who's evolution in time is governed by simple binding and enzyme kinetics, but that are integrated into networks that can be very complicated.

One really simplified model (inaccurate, but useful) of the computational state and evolution of the cell involves DNA methylation. DNA is methylated to shut it off, demethylation turns it on. To turn some DNA off or on, either DNA methyltransferase (DNMT3a/b) for methylation or one of the Tet proteins for demethylation needs to be guided to that region of DNA, usually through the assembly of some transcription factor complexes. The assembly of these complexes is combinatorial and performs logical addressing depending on the cell state. For example the cell may be expressing TF's A, B, and C, and these guide DNMT3a/b to DNA locus 3xq3945 (made up, whatever) if beta catenin translocates to the nucleus as a response to Wnt signaling, to turn something off. If TF's A, B, and D are expressed, it may bring it to a different location, and may bring Tet there instead, for demethylation.

Anyways, that's an example of "computery" description of cell biology. I don't really like how other responders shot your question down, I think the computer science mindset is really relevant to biology.
