That's an interesting perspective, and I don't feel attacked at all but rather appreciate the feedback.

I do think there is a misunderstanding of how Web Monetization currently works though.

You won't be charged anything to visit the website UNLESS you subscribe to a Web Monetization provider and wish to contribute to websites that you visit in this way. Right now, the only Web Monetization provider is Coil. Coil charges members $5 a month and handles the distribution of payments to sites that the user visits.

So unless you subscribe to Coil you wouldn't be charged anything, and even then it is capped at a pre-paid $5/month that get's distributed to all the website that you visit who participate in Web Monetization.
I doubt they'd cache an image for 3 months or longer.
I don't see where in that article it says what you are describing. Only that adjuvants may improve the response to a vaccine. The response to the pathogen is not considered.
Thanks for speaking up about the psychological abuse you were subjected to. It was chilling to hear about people calling you imbecilic things like “fragile”. Nobody should be harassed out of a job!
He kind of touches upon it, but there is a lot of value in being able to go into an interview and literally being able to say about a topic "I wrote the book on it." It's a tremendous signal to have overcome the hurdles of getting a publisher to accept you and print your book with your name on it.

I used to have several guys on my team that had published books- and they were great, and were constantly getting contacted about other jobs, and even to write other books.

They all said the actual book itself made them no money beyond their initial (small-hardly five figure) advance, and in terms of dollars per hour they probably would have been better off getting a fast food job, but it opened up a lot of doors and made them at least a little bit "internet famous."

The government has not done its due diligence on finding if the NGO(s) are involved in this practice. Instead, they ask the NGO(s) to prove that they are not involved. How does this even make sense?

in my personal experience, email is completely dead. even the multiple mailing lists I belong to, some of which I personally run, have moved wholesale into the slack channels we made to augment them.
Yeah rather than supporting backporting things like that they instead decided that every feature should have a lint that shows you how to update your edition.

Basically the idea was rather than making it as easy as possible to stay on the oldest version they focused that effort on making it as easy as possible to update once you decided that was what you wanted to do.

Me too ... but the problem is a perception that the _standard_ is the same. If the worst regimes can get away with framing the democratic systems of the US as equal to theirs it impedes progress and the effectiveness of criticism of those regimes. That doesn't mean we shouldn't find fault in the (many) issues with the US and other western democratic practices, but it does make it harder when we can just be dismissed as hypocrites.
First, this says nothing about if this is different than it used to be "back in the day". Second, it has never been true anywhere that almost all people in a given field felt totally comfortable voicing controversial opinions around their colleges and did not worry about any consequences. Third, these are faculty, not students. Students are there to learn and expand their knowledge and try out different ideas. Teachers are there to do a job and openly talking about a crazy idea you had to anyone and everyone is not going to do you any favors.
Others already explained it better than I can but here I go: This is simply a new web framework (like Spring or vertx). The exciting thing about it is that it is using GraalVM / AOT magic and starts up very fast. Drawback is it requires custom libraries for stuff like Hibernate.

Of course. The real problem is not the 64 bit kernel which you can easily get with Raspbian, but the 64 bit userspace for which you currently need a different distribution (but see sister comment). I'm using Fedora 33 Server.

defender is an antivirus product. and yes AV largely prevents malware compared to nothing. defender is a damn good one, but doesn't meet enterprise needs. central administration and logging are nessecary when managing a fleet of tens of thousands of workstations. AV isn't perfect, partial prevention is more common than people think, partial prevention is also partial infection. I have seen countless incidents that started with their av product catching the malware half way through execution but they never knew because they don't receive central logs.

defender ATP solves some of these issues, but osx and linux capabilities are meh at best, and still very new. (linux at least) so still not ready for most enterprises. third party av exists because enterprises need centralized av across multiple OS that works ok. no one is fooling themselves thinking av prevents all malware, but it prevents a lot, and more importantly allows you to get visibility into your endpoints activities so a human can be alerted to what needs to be investigated further.

just because an av solution doesn't prevent things as much as others, doesn't make it completely useless, many many enterprises knowingly trade prevention and or performance for visibility, and cost, and that's ok.

The free speech zone exists so that anti-women's-rights protesters can show pictures of fetuses to students.

The safe space area was made when we found out it was physically dangerous for the student communist and anarchist groups to peaceably assemble in the free speech zone.

During my time at UH, the greatest threat to free speech was posed by the conservative student population. I was physically threatened and harmed on many occasions in my 4 years there.

I think that is the point of twitter: it is what people say without a filter and without thinking it through. I’ve found the proper way to use it is to follow extreme opinions from the entire spectrum to get a sense of what is brewing.
I usually use this logic nowadays whenever someone asks me about buying a 300$ laptop, UNLESS the use case is, in fact, literally email, static html, and word processing (which I've only seen once).

Spending that extra 150-200 can make a huge difference in longevity.
Highly personal opinion, there's no need to mute in those scenarios either (at least in low participant count videos). It makes the speaker able to adapt to things that are impacting their listener's attention. Even if they're muted, a child crying is going to take their attention, and its better that the speaker is aware of it.

A simple noise canceling microphone takes care of distant, and thus unimportant sounds.

EDIT: Please take note of the "in low participant count videos" caveat above before lambasting me about how this doesn't work in 40 person meetings. I'm talking about meetings with 3-4 people.
Maybe for a year or so but people will just forget about it and move on.

If you're just beginning a 3080 is overkill, never mind two.
Get a used 1080ti (or even 2080ti if not overpriced), it'll be cheaper and even has a bit more RAM.
Yes. It would be highly inconvenient for me to connect it to my home PC which is in a different room, I don't want to buy or build a HTPC just to connect to Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime, I use my phone as a remote most of the time, and the tv wasn't too expensive.

Not to mention, the ads on the home screen are less intrusive and far less numerous than on Comcast's cable box.
> It doesn’t matter if the user isn’t using Chrome; even I, as a power-user, wouldn’t find it strange to find that something I had done had managed to install Chrome and force it to open a URL.

It's even worse than that.

I use Firefox predominantly, but I do have Chrome installed for the occasional use (webdev, some browser-discriminating webapps, more stable Netflix). I'm a power user too, and yet I already had a few situations in the recent years, where I'd switch to a browser to find some information quickly, only to realize after few minutes that I'm using the wrong browser.

And for those tech-scam-vulnerable people, a browser is just a big rectangle showing the Internet, with a bit of visual noise surrounding the tab bar and the box in which you type "google". I know some people who probably wouldn't notice if I switched their Chrome for Firefox, or perhaps even for Edge.
For me, getting a USB speakerphone made a huge difference. It's so much more comfortable than wearing a headset all day, even a wireless one.

After a lot of research (I would recommend this blind test as a start: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBRkKAelaKQ) I decided for the Calisto P7200. Its microphone quality seems to be comparable to a headset, and it will automatically turn off when there are no human voices, so nobody will hear you typing.
Yes. They are saying that if people really wanted to tell you when they open your email, they could enable it. However, they don’t. Throwing tracking pixels in are really a means to circumvent the wish of the recipient.
It's important to look at Sweden's culture and what they did do. They gave recommendations and did do a partial shutdown, and much of their populace actually listen to the government recommendations, unlike the American populace.

It's also important to compare cities and countries of comparable magnitude, size can make a big difference.
I do digital signage as part of my job. We use Samsung TVs. They do work better, but they do run hotter. Much hotter. We use Yodeck Raspberry Pi players (4K) using HDMI, Ethernet. ADA now says TVs in public places have to be very close to the wall. This means that the players have to sit atop the TV, either in the small gap between the TV and wall or hook & loop to the TV. The older TVs (we replaced them this year) were OK. The new ones, because they run hotter, melted the glue off the back of the hook & loop and let the player slide down.
Is Technology Actually Making Things Better?
Obviously anecdotal, but I'm talkig about people I actually personally know.
IRL I'm able to have a conversation with them, online they are so used to trolls and extreme opinions that they get into "fight mode" where they automatically assume the worse about the other person, and interpret anything they say, in the worst possible way.

And I don't see any chilling effect, other than "fuck that, I'm not gonna follow Facebook/twitter anymore"

They're not writing anything, but they're not consuming it.
Now if so called journalists would stay off twitter/facebook, the problem will be solved. Because it's not a chilling effect if the entire aparatus is irrelevant.
Yeah, I am very curious about what interesting things they're posting that offend people all the time. That's quite an achievement.
> There are a lot of people in this industry that think that Apple should and will prevail because of the history of this model.

I'd argue most of us are fed up with apple.

> it’s not like iOS and Android are the end of history. There will be new platforms.

No there won't be. Apple and Google have won this market for decades. This is why we have to fight for our rights to use our devices and distribute our software.

> The last thing we want is for App stores to be declared public regulated utilities.

That's what all of us should want. Stallman warned about this happening.

Fwiw, I can tell you're typing on an idevice because of the smart quotes. I've noticed this demographic tends to give Apple too much credit and ignores the evils they perpetrate against our industry and computing freedom.
The government, as specified in the US Constitution, requires that candidates for president must be born in the US and over 35 years old. Assuming those requirements (and any others that may be added via amendments over time) are met, THEN it's up to the people.
The still costs $50 is interesting to me, because inflation adjusted this is a pretty steep discount. The 30% stayed the same, but inflation adjusted on something like this the revenue netted is down to what 15% would have previously got you.

All I’m really getting at is that the layers of complication are thick. I feel like one could unwind this with a lot of effort, but I doubt anyone is being utterly fleeced (or is utterly innocent, for that matter).
That is true, but it all depends on how much the rest of your system uses. If you just have a mid-tier CPU and SSD, you may find that the rest of your system only uses 200W, and you can fit a 3080 on a 600W power supply. There are multiple reports of high-quality 600W PSUs working, so YMMV.

It would be great if it were just one middle level manager. But, this sort of behavior seems to permeate a their offerings. For me Samsung and all of it's products have gone from mildly annoying (bloatware with a couple cool features) to something I won't even consider when making a new electronics purchase. It was frustrating for a while, because I like the hardware, but I'm past it now.
Messaging Systems – Why SMS Refuses to Die
> new restrictions that are targeted at the second wave that is unlikely to lift until sometime next year

The actual number of fatalities are dropping in almost every region. The trouble with "new cases" is they just add to the existing insanely high number, instead of resetting to cases-per-month. A lot of these cases aren't even serious at all. Remember during the H1N1 flu, Obama actually reduced testing to quell fear.

And the restrictions are likely going away. It's been months and humanity cannot go on this way. Ecuador high courts have struck down a lot of their lockdown restrictions and emergency powers. In the US, the Stickman decision in PA could be the most important decision of this entire year[0]. We're seeing lockdown protest in Germany, UK and there would be protests in Australia if Victoria didn't go absolutely insane.

I realize a lot of people have died, but in the US, 96% of them are over 55. The "long term effects" narrative is taking hold, and I've read the UK case study of 60+ patients published through a Charlottesville journal, and the majority of them were elderly or high risk.

https://battlepenguin.com/politics/secondary-effects/

Only 6k people in the US died without having an additional comorbidity (heart disease, obesity, etc.)

It's time to isolate the vulnerable, and let the rest of the population go back to making their own decisions about what risks they want to take with their lives. Offer subsidies for people who want groceries delivered and never want to go out and take any risks again.

100 year from now, historians will look back at 2020 as the year of mass hysteria.

Ginsburg and Scalia obviously cleared that bar but that doesn't mean those with less discipline can't do so. I share GP's view that this is a pretty basic part of being an adult.

That being said, I fully agree with the rest of your comment. This deficiency isn't new: Most people in any period of history have been unable to engage with ideas like adults, and there are a host of social technologies that prevent these infantile tendencies from blowing up society. Dramatic shifts in the way we live and engage with others (like those brought about by the Internet age) obsolete these safeguards, leaving this type of person vulnerable to a world of epistemological hazards until new tools and processes are created for them to follow by rote.

So the website owners won't get proper analytics about who are their users, why they came to the website, how did they finish reading page to the end and so on. They won't know if their message was effective or not.
100% agreed with this and trying a vastly different approach. Still early, but the idea is to merge people and topics while doing this through a question engine to invite everyone into the conversation... instead of just the loud & ego driven voices.

AFAIK, this is a hearing for a preliminary injunction, not the actual trial itself.

That means that saying, "Well, other people do it too" is exactly what a judge should be examining at this point. There was a T&C contract, the form of which is standard across the industry, and Epic broke the T&C on purpose. Which likely means no injuctive relief at this point.

You could argue that the T&C are onerous and/or that there are anti-competitive behaviors, but neither of those can be addressed in this preliminary phase.

I don't see any basis for claiming that the judge has an "over interest" in Apple succeeding. That claim implies impropriety, and such a claim should carry a high bar for evidence.
I don't believe evidence supports music being an aid to concentration directly. However, it does make some tasks more tolerable and might extend the time a person is willing to spend on it. Whether the trade-off is worth it, depends on the individual.

I will also add that some tasks don't require high levels of concentration, just sustained attention - for example porting code from one similar codebase to another.
I have an old (like 2015, not that old) Vizio TV with a built-in Chromecast, which was always handy. Saves me a couple bucks and an HDMI port.

The "home screen" of the TV (where it goes when you turn it on) was always the chromecast, which as I'm sure most people have seen, is rather nice; just endless pictures of art and landscapes, like a screensaver.

One day it updated without my consent, and that screen was replaced with Vizio's, I dont know, some piece of shit interface no human being on the planet wants. Ads for Crackle and other Vizio tvs mostly. Its so bad.

So, I'm never buying another Vizio TV.
I think you've ignored my main point, which is Windows, Linux and MacOS kept innovating by being open and iOS and Android can do the same for phones.

On that site, they mention the code/crypto protocol has been independently verified, but I can't seem to find any independent reports, aside from Telegrams own article explaining the technical details of their protocol.

Aside from Telegrams own insistence that their crypto protocol has been independently verified, do you have another source? My understanding was that nobody has actually bothered to verify telegrams source code: https://security.stackexchange.com/a/49802
One reason to not not build-in house:

1. Edge cases. Chances are you do not need to cover every edge case, at least when building an MVP. It can take more time to learn a complex API than to build in house. See also premature optimization.

2. Someone else maintains it. In the event you decide to use someone's dependency and they decide to unpublish it with the click of a button.... (ok at least this one has been fixed, but API versioning can still be a bear).
There's a selection effect going on there. People with more circumspect attitudes are more likely to be sensitive to social cooling, and when they back off of social media, they take their more measured opinions with them.
Yeah, it would be honest. But I would like to see any researches saying it does not working
There's also the unspoken issue... there are probably a decent number of people who profit off the current system that who do not want their meal ticket cut off.

I've got two toilets in my apartment that have the mechanics hidden in a sort of half wall, that is maybe a meter or so high. It has a stone "lid" you can lift and reach all the piping and mechanics and what not from the top. This seems like a pretty decent compromise to me, and also the lid is really useful as a shelf for toiletries and what not.
Probably just US, it would be hard to compile such data globally.

I dropped my friend a line and he answered back with a detailed description of his helo accident. It was one helluva freakish story.

They loaded an older lady in a hilly, wooded area not quite close to Ostrava (the largest city in the region, my birthplace). She had symptoms of a serious stroke, it was 1998, no one really expected her to live long, but not that short either.

A few minutes into the flight something (a nut?) exploded in the rotor and they went down like a stone. Very, very hard crash, still in a hilly, wooded area, but close to a big water reservoir, an artificial lake.

The lady died on impact. All other people on board survived with serious injuries, but they were saved by an unbelievable coincidence. A mine rescue team from Ostrava had a regular training on the lake and the helicopter crashed in their sight, less than a kilometer away. So they were there in like 3 minutes, dragged them to safety and put the burning wreck out.

If this was a movie, it would look totally unrealistic. But it happened.

Three months of rehabilitation and friend's lower back is still bad. He cannot stand completely upright, tilts slightly to a side.
The only ex-dealer I've met was doing it because he could make $800 in an hour in semirural southern California. It's hard to convince someone making easy, risky money to switch to making less, hard, but sure money
