Can anyone with a Twitter confirm this is happening? I assume Twitter will stop censoring it once this goes viral.

> Warm climate reservoirs generate methane, a greenhouse gas when the reservoirs are stratified, in which the bottom layers are anoxic (i.e. they lack oxygen), leading to degradation of biomass through anaerobic processes.

In warm climate it is methane generator, biomass constantly added with river flow.

You might want to have a look at a course called "Mindshift" on Coursera. It is free to access and the main topic is the combination of lifelong learning and career switching.

From personal experience I would say: you will be more successful in such a career change, when you do not ignore the skills you have for your current job, but find a way to use them in the new one.
I doubt this. More likely is that everyone is financing their iPhone at 0% over 24-30 months. The number of people who can afford to pay cash for an iPhone is a tiny fraction of the people who can afford the monthly payments. The absolute most expensive iPhone configuration with the iPhone Upgrade Program is $66/month. You can get it for significantly less per month through a major carrier.
The EU actually has such a "conformity" law for goods[0], however I don't see how it would apply in this case. It also takes into account the point raised by the other commenters: "the seller can only refuse if this causes disproportionate costs on him in comparison with the alternative remedy, taking into account the value of the goods or the significance of the lack of conformity"

Planet Earth will continue to exist and the natural world may eventually recover, but a manmade extinction event and the possible extinction of human life is a good enough definition of "the end of the world" for me, though perhaps I should have said "the end of the human world". I agree that it's not worth fixing climate change at the expense of the future, but the situation is bad enough that fixing it is worth some level of risk - we had the time for a methodical, considered approach to climate change when we found out about it decades ago, and we didn't do anything.

I also think the decision to accept some long-term risks to alleviate the (frankly terrifying) short/medium-term dangers we face is very different to the decision to exploit natural resources in service of the industrial revolution.
I agree that’s not a great state to be in, but think about it from that locals new org’s point of view: comment spam is a major and hard-to-solve problem, and by tying commenting to the real-world identity and enforcement of bots that Facebook provides, the news organizations get to solve that thorny problem for free. Plus news orgs are already using FB to syndicate/share, so it’s really a no-brained for them.

I wonder what the world would look like with a independent, trustworthy, non-advertising-based company/organization which provided a similar anti-spam service for free, with the option to publicly tie to verified identities as well. (For all the flack that real-name policies get, they do reduce spam and hate speech by a big margin, so any service which doesn’t verify identity isn’t really a drop-in replacement for FB as far as that news org is concerned)

From memory and a quick glance at one of my servers:

When an IP packet related to your container arrives (<host ip>:<host port>):

- docker rewrites it to target <your container's ip address>:<your container's port> (NAT table, chain PREROUTING delegates to DOCKER chain with the relevant DNAT entry)

- since the IP does not match your host, the packet is forwarded (there's a relevant routing entry pointing to docker's virtual interface)

- the first thing you encounter in the FORWARD chain of the FILTER table is a few jumps to the docker-related chains, DOCKER chain in particular accepts all packets destined to <your container's ip address>:<your container's port>

So a few takeaways:

- your standard firewall might not be involved because its chains are plugged in after the docker chains in the FORWARD chain (e.g. ufw under Ubuntu)

- if the above is true and you want your firewall to matter, you have to add stuff to DOCKER-USER chain in the FILTER table

- at that point the host port and IP doesn't matter since it's already been mapped in the NAT table's PREROUTE chain at the beginning of processing - write your firewall rules to address specific containers
i get you, i am “human” too. The experiencer is one of the persistent thoughts we are having these days, and since we are one, i have an understanding and a certain sympathy towards your struggle.

im just arguing against the immortality of the experiencer.

I say give us longer lives, that may be possible.

An immortal experiencer for /everyone/ opens up the very troublesome issue of the quality of that experience. Actually the first consciousness who was close to what your describing, got really angry because creation allowed for more than one of it - the myth of the fall of the morning star - during that part of genesis consciousness was near immortal and it was happy. It does imply the nullification/sacrifice of all others to maintain that one experience - but thats an argument for murderous madness, essentially

>It's never about my performance or my co-workers, mind you, but about my immigration status back then.

Not gonna lie, the part about immigration status hit me very strong.

I keep getting those nightmares about once a month, despite all of my actual immigration-related fears in real life being completely gone after becoming a citizen. The nightmare is always about me somehow ending up in my old country (but at the present time, not me back then) without being able to escape. It always starts as just a minor inconvenience situation (e.g., flight got canceled, just gotta reschedule it, no big deal) and rapidly escalates to the most impossible situations to get out of (e.g., got arrested at a random place and stuck in a cell without being able to leave), while my normal life in the US going on as normal, just without me present, and nobody notices my absence.

In addition to that one, the only other one I often get is the very typical one about waking up to me being my college-aged self and realizing it is the final exam day, and it is for a class that i signed up for and completely forgot about until today.
Whatever your perspective, directly verifiable censorship like this is just begging for legal trouble and monopoly investigations. Tactically speaking, I would say this is a massive mistake from Twitter.
One should mention that the iphone 12s do not come with chargers or headphones in the box. So that is another effective price raise of about $30. It is a real shame because the fast charging feature of these phones really deserves an out of the box working charger so it can be immediately appreciated by ordinary non-tech people.

Now most people will use their old chargers, which will not support fast charging.
That’s what I did. Haven’t had any issues.
That doesn’t mean they willingly joined PRISM, knew that they had joined, or knew what data the NSA was taking.

As has been discussed elsewhere there are legitimate and legal reasons for them to cooperate with the NSA in certain ways.

Those two words change nothing more than that there was a partnership of some kind.

No evidence has ever been produced of these companies knowingly participating in the kind of bulk data collection that PRISM is asserted to be.

I’m not claiming to be certain they didn’t participate.

I am claiming that the evidence clearly doesn’t not support that claim yet.
Hmm.

I have my doubts re: reason, for it wasn't excessive, but point taken.
Facebook sounds more like the communist party, where they are requiring your real name, web activity, or get banned and have all your things taken away (Oculus usage, paid apps, can’t message friends, etc).
Imo, the real issue is that people seem to think that smart mathematicians or scientists don't argue like normal people, don't get emotional when arguing and always talk from divine truth.

The issue have nothing to do with mathematical correctness, so you can't apply the same principles. This is not math. But, Dijkstra's it's not being logical in arguments, because he is not of dick and likely this style of arguing was working for him in his life.

Every state has the right to pass laws that apply within it's borders.

The state approach is more fine-grained so a negative outcome is localized, and if the outcome is positive people in other states can enact similar laws if they want.

This is about as bad an argument as saying that voting is pointless because one individual vote is not going to change anything. Individual purchases summed up amount to a lot.
It's so bizarre that they lied over $30. Unless I am misunderstanding the motivation behind this decision. But if they really just lied to make the price appear to be $30 cheaper, it seems kind of strange. I don't think customers will be fooled or pleased when they find out the real price, and I'm not really sure if that was worth it.
> Just like the initial iPhone needed one carrier to get things right

Except for the rest of the world, which did just fine.

Apple tried to do US-like deals with European carriers and it was just so fundamentally incompatible with the European mindset that many people simply did not understand what they were trying to sell or why.

It took a year or so before Apple realized Europeans buy phones and subscriptions separately and the iPhone-sales took off, because now people could actually buy a phone.

"decided to not pass that savings onto the customer"

Do you have access to the BOM? Sure it was likely a cost-savings measure, but it may have been to combat rising prices elsewhere. It's a two-sided equation and we can't see the whole thing.

If Apple did want to be environmentally friendly though I would think offering a reasonably priced multi-device (4-ports?) charger would be more effective than just selling a single-device charger separately.

One charger for many devices for many years is a better story than "It's the same charger, just purchased separately now."

Robert Graham [1] pointed out that if the emails are authentic, they can be trivially verified via DKIM.

That the email metadata was not released implies the emails are either inauthentic, or that the post did not contact someone with basic competence in computer forensics.

Bah. It's Iago, by a long shot, in my opinion.

Iago's evil works by making everyone he has contact with think he is trustworthy and dependable. Iago even tells Roderigo he is neither, but Roderigo trusts Iago anyway. Iago undermines the very notion of duty and of a system of society which relies on everyone else telling the truth. The real danger of Iago is not to Othello or Cassio or Roderigo; the real danger of Iago is to society.

Teachers know when a student doesn't return to the classroom, though. Simple enough to take report that to whoever in the school handles discipline: Usually, the same person that would get involved with other sorts of skipping class. I don't really see the issue: It can't be that many kids doing it every class and having teachers and staff monitor halls, if you have well-funded schools, shouldn't be an issue.

I'm opposed to locked bathroom doors as well: Again, all it takes is one teacher saying, "no", and suddenly, the same student is out of luck.

Or we could be more lenient on students and not worry so much about attendance so long as they hand in their work and get decent enough grades.

"Retraction" is a weird word to use. The issue isn't that we're going backwards — voter turnout has generally increased over this country's lifetime [1] — but it's that we're enfranchising people at a relatively slow and demographically disproportionate rate. If you pick 30 years ago as your starting point, you'll miss the start of the war on drugs, white flight and redlining, Jim Crow — all "real, tangible actions and real legislation by living souls, people whose goals were to repress votes to change outcomes".

Right wing media constructing an alternate reality is worrying, of course. But it's myopic to intentionally ignore the mantle of disenfranchisement and oppression that recent politicians have picked up. Their ideas didn't come from nowhere, you know.

That's just it... generally speaking, there's no law against using federal IDs in any way that companies desire. There's also no laws against aggregating data that gives corporations too much information about consumers, and no laws governing how such data can be used, a right to deletion, and other protections.

The laws in the US governing privacy and data use have never been updated for the computer age, because the people who have been in power for the whole computer age generally don't understand computers.
