It's all mumbo jumbo is equivalent to 'it has been proven not to work'. That is a strong position to take, not a default one. The second is too hand-wavy to even really call a position.

Note that it's generally important to separate the possible effectiveness of a technique from the beliefs about why it may be effective that practitioners hold. Willowbark is an effective remedy for some ailments, not because of some tree spirit or some alchemical mumbo-jumbo that many may have once believed in,but for different reasons they had no way of knowing.

If it turns out under serious study that Reiki has positive effects, we will need further study to understand why, and perhaps distill that into an even more effective treatment. It won't be magical energy, but perhaps there is something to it that can be identified and taught.

So are wars and terrorism. Fundamental human rights are pressured as soon as they are threatened.

I'll leave this here:

> it’s specifically set up to protect privacy.

It can't protect privacy. A non-profit isn't a public authority. This initiative is meant to (a) create technology that adheres to existing legislation and (b) lobby - read argue or ask - with politics to use this technology.

The harsh reality is that authorities can happily ignore or cherry pick from such efforts, and that they are free to change or deprecate legal frameworks is such is deemed necessary "in the public interest".

This initiative sounds nice, but I don't read anywhere how they tie into the longstanding efforts of human rights organizations such as Human Rights Watch.

That's why I feel this is a technological experiment. It simply doesn't even consider the social impacts: there's no mention whatsoever of social research or leveraging existing social research.
But why would Google want to stop Lineage OS? First, in the grand scheme of things, Lineage OS is so small that it doesn't matter, according to stats.lineageos.org it's 1.7 million active installs (that have turned on tracking). Android on the other hand has around 2.5 billion devices.

Second, LineageOS might not ship Google apps by default, but opengapps makes it possible to install them, and Lineage OS installation guides mention it as an option. I guess many people do it so that they can participate in the Google ecosystem. So Lineage OS only adds more customers to Google's apps and services, more eyeballs that Google can sell.

The main damage is dealt on the device vendors due to the LineageOS use case as an aftermarket firmware creating less need for people to buy their new hardware. My phone was released in 2014. I bought it in 2020 and thanks to Lineage OS, I can use modern Android on it. IMO since then, phones have gotten worse in many regards (non-removable batteries, no jack, glass everywhere so that phones break more easily, overall more expensive, etc, ...), so I'm quite happy with this setup.
My annoyance with macOS/Apple is that this isn't standard and default. Therefore, not consistent and can be confusing (especially if you're trying to join a call in progress). Because of this, Zoom chose to reduce the number of dialogs thrown up.
Not all of them. You have to pay more money (currently $16 / month [1]), have sufficiently fast internet, and watch content that is actually available in 4K.

There’s also an imbalance here in that China is not an open marker to firms in the West.

Chinese copiers have the ability to sell into their own massive market and then cross subsidise to dump cheaper products into the rest of the world.

No company in for example the West using, say, robots to reduce labour costs could dump cheap imitations into the Chinese market to destroy their manufacturing base.

Same goes for service companies.

Do any of those potential ways impact on the ease of use of Zoom? Do they make it harder to join a meeting?

> There's really nothing complex or difficult enough in React, Vue, or any other UI framework that can't be picked up by a competent dev quickly.

Honestly. Where I work we have a few undergrad co-op students who have just finished their first year of school. No previous React experience. They jumped right in and were useful on our React projects after about week. They just read some docs, asked a couple questions and played with our existing code. They're smart people but they're not x10 programmers.

We have other large projects that are a more "traditional" mix of DOM manipulation use jQuery, global CSS, etc. and introducing new hires to that is never as smooth. There are no docs as thorough as React's that explain the patterns established in those codebases (if there are any consistent patterns at all).

One thing to note, we make what I would consider to be web applications (for data management & analysis), not web pages.

I'd guess that if they tell you the result, they'll bias their volunteer pool towards those who want to know if they're sick - presumably because they've got symptoms - rather than getting a less biased sampling more representative of the average population.

You can certainly manually handle the signalling to set up the offer/answer. e.g. read them out to your peer(s).

You would still need some form of STUN server (but there are a number of 'freely accessible' ones, even configured as defaults in some browsers) to get your reachable address/port/proto. You cant, AFAIK, handle this manually - it is handled internally as part of ICE. Then you would need to manually handle the signalling of these as well.

Thats the bare minimum you have to do to peer over webrtc under ideal circumstances, but its certainly doable.

So you do that for each peer. If you (or a peer) change streams you will do the same thing all over again

Really nice explanation. Having read almost all papers on this endless debate "Classes vs Prototypes" you'd get a feeling that prototype-based object system wins in any aspects (expressiveness, flexibility, whatever), and yet almost all prototype-based languages in the end include crude class implementations (as Class for a signle namespace to contain all related traits, constructor method and/or prototypical instance for cloning) - interesting, why so? Is this model ingrained in our brains by our education or we do really think that way (i.e. with sets of related entities).

Wasn't aware of that, but it sure makes sense, thanks.
I agree with most of what you said, except I think you miss a core mechanism. Specifically, it doesn't just encourage non-thinking (though this is certainly an aspect), but it also encourages you to take a step back, and explore around what you are feeling. This is profound, because it very quickly leads to you figuring out chains of causality in yourself. You gain a much deeper understanding of why you do things, what you are like as a person, and what you could change in order to stop these cause and effect relationships. So, in essence, you get a root cause analysis for free, which gets built in to your muscle memory.
Over a year maybe? It's been awhile. Not everyone sees the gate all the time.

why would you take care to NOT get coffee grounds into the sink/drain? Its a feature, the grounds remove some of that fat/etc. that builds up in any kitchen sink/drain.

I myself just wash out my French press with water and let all of that go down the drain, makes it the easiest to clean. Not to mention there is no need for onetime filters like with many other methods (same for Bialettis/espresso maker)
> It's seems impossible anyone could test positive and still be asymptomatic.

Why? Most symptoms are part of the body's response switching into overdrive and not a direct consequence of cells getting subverted into virion farms. If the immune system wins without resorting to state of emergency measures like a fever you won't notice, but in the meantime there is a phase of viral replication in the throat.

With SARS-Cov-2 there is even the pattern that detection drops already in the throat of patients that still have a pneumonia raging in their lung (probably because the throat, as a battlefield in this war, somehow favors the immune system more than the lung?), so it's not even a subset/superset relation between symptoms and positive throat PCR, it's a partial overlap.

Which the laughably biased article illustrates with Iran's "infamous" seizure of a British ship. Not the earlier British seizure of an Iranian vessel, which the Iranians were simply responding to, which is barely a footnote.

I'm sure if a ship from an ally of a country brazenly attempting to overthrow the US government innocently "drifted" for days off the US coast before innocently "finding its way into" US territorial waters, the US response would be kid gloves and a cheery smile.

Meanwhile, in totally unrelated news, a few days after this event exposed Venezuelan capability in response to violation of its territorial waters:

> US to Deploy Navy Ships near Venezuela

> The deployment is one of the largest U.S. military operations in the region since the 1989 invasion of Panama ... It involves assets like Navy warships, AWACS surveillance aircraft and on-ground special forces seldom seen before in the region."

The thing is Reiki is just the latest in a long line of fads we have to consider seriously, despite having a (reasonable) prior that they won't work because the physics doesn't make sense. Proponents of woo can keep wasting our time by switching to a newly labelled energy fad. People spent a lot of time and serious money running trials of homeopathy etc. We will see the same pattern here.
A lot of people are scammed though by Shamans and the like. And often times they do not leave that much happier but emotionally dependant and sometimes even broke. I've seen it plenty of times and think it's absolutely immoral.
Google and Facebook could pull this off very easily.

Surely there's a way to believe something important and true with the right emotional valence. Consider the story I laid out in a nearby comment: "A competent, trusted person loves you and is laying hands on you in a kindly way to heal you. When this happened to our ancestors, they were in a safe position and their bodies needed healing; under these circumstances, there was no risk of further injury and no need to worry about other needs (because they will be attended to), which means the body should turn down its immune response and focus on healing. Evolution carried this lesson down into your body. I will be the competent, trusted person who loves you, and I will lay kindly hands on you, and your body will respond instinctively and heal."

It doesn't need to be any more (or less) magical than what happens in theatre. The actors do their best to live their roles, to do the things and feel the emotions their characters would feel, and they let the audience see it—perhaps playing it up a little, because the audience is tens of feet away. I believe there are at least some in the service industry that have a related "I'm playing a role, of one who is delighted to help my great customer, to the best of my ability" ethos.

We don't face any struggles in our lives. This leads to depression.

I'm not criticising our culture or way of life. We naturally want to spend our lives comfortably at peace. We have managed to improve our lives, generation over generation, to the point now where the average person can reasonably expect to live their entire life without fear of violence or starvation and die of natural causes in their 80's.

But just like how eating all the high-calorie food we want leads to diabetes, because our bodies are evolved to a much less calorific diet (and periodic starvation), we evolved to face more challenges. The lack of fear and the ease of our survival leads to mental health problems because we have the luxury of wondering wtf we're doing here, instead of wondering how we're going to survive until next week.

Exercise helps with depression, partly because it's not easy, it requires effort and discipline and it's not "fun". Forcing yourself to get out of the house and go for a run is difficult (I know, I went through clinical depression and had to force myself to do this. Still do). It does the same for your body - stresses it to make it more healthy.

Hopefully it'll change. As following generations get used to lives without struggle or fear or starvation they'll adapt and be more mentally healthy. We'll also conquer diabetes, somehow, I'm sure.
There's a reason hunter-gatherers were nomadic. If food became scarce in one area they moved to a place where it was more bountiful.

> I can only imagine that our ancestors must of lived off greens.

Yes. Greens in addition to meat, fish, fruit, berries etc. Living off greens only will lead to malnourishment.

I had a hard time digging up any numbers on this. As far as I can tell, Netflix doesn't seem to offer a breakdown of their subscribers. In 2018, Parks Associates (a market research and consulting company) estimated that 30% of Netflix subscribers were on the "Premium" tier [1], which is the only tier that offers 4K. That percentage may have gone up (with increased prevalence of 4K media and viewing devices) or down (with rising prices) since then, but 30% certainly represents a respectable fraction of Netflix's subscriber base.

Woodland is relatively cheap in the UK. Certainly for what you pay, you can get an unmanageably large amount of land. You can get a few acres for 10-20k, up to hundreds of acres for < 200k. Prices have gone up quite a lot recently. You pay more for things like ancient/hardwoods, features like river frontage/streams (which may have fishing rights) and occasionally some come with outbuildings.

For example: https://www.woods4sale.co.uk/woodlands/scotland/1488.htm

The catch is that you are extremely unlikely to get planning permission (hence cheap) for a building and you can legally only stay there for a certain period of time each year. On the other hand, you can put up a small cabin if it's for "forestry activities" and if appropriate you can make a profit out of the land (e.g. lumber, forest crops, charcoal). There's also a reasonable chance there will be public access routes through your land.

Big benefits though. It's yours, freehold, and it's convenient for tax purposes (no inheritance tax). You can camp on it, or have a caravan, and it's essentially your playground. You are liable for some maintenance like boundary fencing, but aside from that its' really up to you what you do with it.

In Scotland it's a bit different, you can build a hut (technical term) and the only real constraint is that it must be removable without leaving a trace - so you can't put in permanent plumbing, for example. It also can't be your main residence.

As mentioned, you cant manually set up your listening ports - this is handled internally by ICE, which needs to connect to a STUN server to get (at a minimum) your public IP address.

edit: cant reply to your comment fulafel, but on that project you posted: https://github.com/cjb/serverless-webrtc/blob/master/serverl... Also, note that even if this wasnt defined, some browsers contain defaults. You 100% need STUN, but you can handle the signalling manually - as I stated.

edit2: cant reply to your comment ibc, but I was explaining the bare minimum 'serverless' webrtc case still required a STUN server. I appreciate that mediasoup SFU uses ice-lite instead.
The explanation is that the antarctic tectonic plate wasn't where it is now. Plus we've been in an ice age for like 2.5 million years. So when the plate that currently covers the south pole was closer to the equator and the temperature of the earth was substantially warmer at the same time, then it had a rainforest.

1) In a PDF file, the measure units are Inches. The page size is in inches. Any dimension is in Inches. There can be a bitmap having 200x200 pixels placed at 3x3 inches. Next to it can be a bitmap of 5x5 pixels placed at 5x5 inches.

That means, that PDF does not contain any DPI information. It is not needed at all. PDF rasterizer (e.g. a raster printer) can render it at any DPI. Photopea decodes and saves back bitmaps inside PDF in the original resolution. The rest is vector graphics.

2) For now, Photopea ignores embedded fonts. But it extracts the font name and in 98 % of cases, we already have the required font in our database of fonts, so we can render it identically.
