Most software projects get managed with a ticketing system that logs the work to be done as individual tickets. Counting the number of cards a developer closes over a certain period allows us to see what actual work is getting closed off.

Measuring closed tickets is an excellent metric if the tasks are written well and assigned based on business priority. When more tickets get closed, more good things are happening with the project, be that bugs getting closed off or features made.
there can be a lot of business related information e.g. what exact machines with what configuration they use to produce this vaccine.
At least Telegram can be used on a desktop without installing it on a spyphone (though without e2e encryption).

Why call out almond farming when dairy uses even more?

https://www.truthordrought.com/almond-milk-myths

For almonds you have to frame it about where that water is coming from, ie dairy from outside California may be less impactful. So the question should be whether futures will help sourcing water better in some sense

Side thought: on things using way too much water, it's always amusing that more water goes into producing bottles as opposed to the water content in a bottled water
You can circumvent Reddit's genius heuristic by changing "look what I made" to "look what I found" so that it matches all of Reddit's other content. Boom, now you can do it across infinite accounts whereas when you were honest, you were limited to one account.

Those rules are so juvenile. Why shouldn't a website have an official reddit account from which they post? Especially when the circumvention is so trivial?
If you use one of Google's services, make sure, from the beginning, that you have an exit strategy.

What Is the Pediatric Dentistry?
Pediatric dentistry is a special branch of dentistry. A pediatric dentist is a person who specializes in the dental issues of children. There is always a need for children to visit the pediatric dentist. It includes dental screening of children, taking care of their sensitive teeth, providing them better care, also updating the parents about upcoming issues that might bother their kid’s dental health etc. services.

I ship binary software on Linux. I assure you, it is not wrong.
This seems very interesting, and definitely something that I could see getting integrated into a product like Zoom eventually.

Is the Spatial Audio function fast-enough to be done client-side, so it can deal with the way different clients might be rendering the talking heads in different orders? If I make my client really wide, so that all heads are in a line, it should sound different than if all the heads are stacked vertically. (Also, people on "page 2" of a big meeting could sound like they are further away -- indeed, that latter feature is something I've always thought should exist for a teacher to be able to listen to the soft hubub of breakout rooms).

If the transfer function is fast, I could also see it being eventually paired with the camera that is already watching your face, so that it could tweak it subtly as you turn your head. I've noticed that people already naturally cock their heads towards someone they're straining to hear, even though they are wearing headphones so it makes no difference (except as a subtle hint to the person talking).
Exactly, aren't SPAs the new Flash?[0]

I'm not sure I'd call it "candid" for Adobe engineers to blame their demise purely on Apple evil.

Anecdote: the Mac OS X dev tools used to come with an app called "Spin Control." It would sit in the background and every time an app failed to drain its event queue in a timely manner (causing the "spinning beach ball of death") it would sample the process and log the trace. One time I accidentally left the app open and forgot about it for a week. When I came back, I found thousands of logged events. All flash.

It popped up in different processes, because WebKit was embedded all over the place, but every single spin event had flash at the bottom. There were several different stack traces within flash, but they were all flash. Yes, I paged through them all. Yes, I thought the 100% figure was a bit suspicious, so I triggered a mail reindex just to see if Spin Control had somehow been configured to look only at flash or something. As expected, the reindex triggered a beachball -- and dropped sqlite into the Spin Control list. There was no filter skewing the results. Flash had literally been responsible for 100% of the beachballs over a week of document editing, email reading, web browsing, and generally typical user activity.

Point is: I find it credible that Apple saw flash as a limiting factor for their ability to deliver smooth UX and battery life, both inside and outside the browser.
I hope not since that isn't disputed in the least. There's loads of convictions, over 1000, for small scale election fraud. What's disputed is fraud sufficient to meaningfully change the outcome in a single state.

I mean that can attract people from all over Europe to take these positions. It's likely a question of money.
The news about a change in "the Swedish strategy" has been greatly exaggerated in foreign media. The rules are basically the same as in April. Only main difference is 8 people instead of 50 in public gatherings. I can still arrange a private party in my own house with hundreds of participants if I wanted to.

Some of the recommendations have changed, but not by a lot. And not all recommendations have become stricter. For example: in April we were advised not to travel further than 2h from our homes, and the recommendations for 70+ were harsher than the rest of the population. These recommendations are no longer in effect.

Shopping centres are still open with unlimited capacity. Masks neither mandated or recommended. I was in a hospital a month or so ago, and saw one or two masks in total, and none among the nurses or doctors. Last time I was in a pharmacy nobody wore a mask.

I was pointing out how "believing dumb things about politics" is a deliberate minimization of the effect of disinformation.

But an astonishingly large number of people are afraid of vaccines/black people/corona jihad/the deep state pedophile ring because they read something that isn't true. Can you think of any effects this might have had recently? Any you think of anything bad going on that isn't strictly a crime?
The bio labs definitely warrant a closer look, we just shouldn't jump to conclusions until we've had those looks and collected some direct evidence.
I don't think MS said it was bundled in the kernel, but it is true that parts of IE are tied into the OS (or at least used to be) in the form of mshtml and jscript.
My strategy is to deprive Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, Facebook and Apple of as much personal data as I can.

So for search, I use various search engines - for generic search queries I turn to Yandex (A Russian search engine that helpfully provides an option in the bottom to search on Google and Bing, if you are not happy with their search results), Stackoverflow for programming queries, IMDB for TV / Movies, and even Wikipedia and Reddit for other types of queries.

This is easier to do now a days since Opera (pre-Blink version) popularised adding search from any site to the browser.
In March and April we didn't know the risks, and we didn't know who was at risk. Now, we have the data, and we do know. If you are in a high risk category, or just generally concerned, you should isolate.

I wear a mask in public, and that's about all that I think is legally reasonable.

These next two questions are real questions, not snark, I promise.

Honestly, genuinely, do you believe your layman perspective is more valid than someone who has spent their entire life honing their craft (judges)? Do you really believe that?

Edit: Downvote me if you want, but at least have the decency to answer my questions. If you're so concerned about it, then get your information out in front of more people, instead of making baseless claims.
A large lens captures information over an area, and so to a certain extent can "see around" out of focus objects. A selective blur of a fully focused scene captured from a single viewpoint (i.e. a small lens) can only approximate this effect, because it simply doesn't have access to the same information. Even with a perfect depth map, you still don't know what's behind occluded objects.
There are cheap postpaid packages with only data (a lot, >10 GB) and ~100 minutes, SMS is paid per message.
That clause is pretty much universal. Defending / enforcing it is whole different story.
Correct, though keep mind that this was explicitly demanded for this program: https://www.bmbf.de/foerderungen/bekanntmachung-3035.html chapter 4, second bullet point. That doesn't mean they don't get reinbursed for phases 1-3. Of course I don't know for certain, I do have past experience with federal funding in Germany, though.

Considering that the company has a history of funding from this source ("BioNTech is already an old friend in our research funding. We - the BMBF - have been promoting this company since it was founded in 2007") https://www.bmbf.de/de/deutschland-kann-innovation-13125.htm... my interpretation is that this was a calculated advance payment.
You make it sound like there is no ethical component to business decisions and that all customers will act rationally in their own best interest. I don't think either is true and that people take part in economic transactions isn't a sufficient defense of those transactions as an intrinsic good.
Steam is supported on Ubuntu and Fedora. That gives it .deb and rpm coverage, enough for the rest of the downstream distros to make it work.

Anecdotally I've had great success with it on Fedora and Linux Mint (Mint being a spin-off of Ubunutu).
In my opinion it's a stretch to say that an oversubscription on housing "benefits all of those people". I enjoy Minneapolis, but it's in a very odd state right now.
So you're taking code that you haven't validated locally to see what resources it uses, you're putting this up on the cloud to test it, then you are immediately going to the middle of nowhere without your laptop/phone/etc, and you can't arrange for a coworker or friend to pull the plug for you if something goes wrong?
"Sorry the game doesn't work, we don't support your distro" is a really crummy thing to have to say to your customers. Fact is Linux doesn't have a stable ABI that you can build your game against (no, the Steam Runtime doesn't solve this problem). The only stable ABI that is supported on Linux is... win32 via Wine.

They want to suck the maximum money from consumers before they realize.

I have very little money so I just don't use their services because a mistake would be disastrous. They might be losing out on me making a unicorn app on their platform. It's unlikely, but while the possibility of catastrophe exists I'll stick to not using them. That extends to not recommending anyone uses them either in case the worst happens.
I think the 'looks like a render' effect is multiple factors; there's some distortion and the like due to distance and heat (you can sorta tell it's on a very long zoom?), high frame rate and high resolution. I think a lot of people aren't yet used to high frame rate video. I mean movies were 23 frames per second for a long time, and the reactions to 60fps films was... averse. The Hobbit was one of the first that tried that I believe, and it seriously messed with the suspension of disbelief.

edit: another comment mentions it may be 120 frames per second footage.
In anything with a cyclical component, being right "too early" and being wrong are very nearly the same thing, and certainly close enough as to make no difference.

Do you have an overview of his trading history that suggests he's "usually right"?
The product seems to hit a really important use case (I have created my own SaaS products in the past, and subs, authenticaation, and permissions are huge PITAs).

One suggestion - your homepage copy is very developer oriented and 'feature' oriented, whereas it could be less technical and more benefit-oriented.

I think changing the copy / adjusting the focus could go a long way. See Outseta.com (I have no affiliation to them) for an example of a company that seems to be doing something similar to you but with more benefit-oriented, business/revenue-focused copy.
Telegram doesn't use any encryption for groups. It uses encryption only in 1:1 chats when you specifically request it.
Twitter allows for this just as many blogs (like books) don't have comment sections but have the author accessible via email or not at all. This doesn't mean they shouldn't be allowed to publish.

Where it's written, if it's designed so, doesn't really matter. I mean it's not practical to do so over text, but email? Yes.

There are even a subsection of people who never engage in twitter and just consume...

You can still allow people to visit your site and email you... But many people tweet successfully without replying to anyone.

If you disagree with what these non repliers say, stop reading.

Other readers don't need protection. They need exposure to more ideas, not fewer.

If you have already have network cabling installed, you can put that cable from the network socket to your RPi or possibly to a switch that is already connected—not all the way directly to the other one, because that cabling is already there.

And, yes, if you would like to move the unit outside (e.g. during a party) then wireless is quite convenient. You can mix and match :).

It was acquired for the IP, not its earning potential, which in turn Hyundai would be able to monetize.

New evidence: Neandertals buried their dead
> There isn't even consensus around the legitimacy of the notion of intellectual property.

There is, though. That's why the vast majority of nations have laws protecting intellectual property.

A different position held by a minuscule minority does not make it less of a consensus.

> In any case, this isn't an intellectual property issue, but a privacy issue.

Articles states:

> U.S. drugmaker Pfizer and its German partner BioNTech said on Wednesday that documents related to development of their COVID-19 vaccine had been “unlawfully accessed” in a cyberattack on Europe’s medicines regulator.

And if it is related to the development of their vaccine -- and something for the European Medicines Agency to review, no less --, I'd argue it's nearly impossible that it isn't intellectual property of Pfizer/BioNTech.

How to build a peer-to-peer marketplace: all you need to know
I think you misunderstood my statement.

I completely understand that doctors in the US was way to expensive to see for acute issues. However my understanding is that with any ACA-compatible plan, "basic preventative care" (ie, yearly physical/check-up) is no cost out-of-pocket.

"They are young and healthy and shouldn't need it" is not a valid excuse to not provide health insurance to those who work for you (in the US).

That's how it works and it works well: let's be fair, the law is not always 100% clear. Some companies try to find the line, have the budget for it, and find it when they get slapped. The goal is not to kill the infringing company, it is to force them to adapt their business models.

In France, as we see here in the difference in fines between Amazon and Google, the fines are not a flat rate: repeated offenses lead to harsher sentences.
I don't know whether HCQ works. I've read many anecdotal reports from the field that it has had positive effects on patients. A Ford Foundation study (reputable, peer reviewed) did find positive correlations. Several other studies did not, but every one of the negative studies were flawed.

The bottom line is, if all of this discussion is suppressed, then the truth will never come out and we are in an Orwellian "1984" situation.

You have to allow expression of ideas, even when it's infuriating. "He's so obviously wrong, he is harming society with his misinformation. People could die!" It's not your place to decide this, nor is it mine. Let the ideas flow, and the good ones will eventually predominate.

I recently came upon lots of free time and I'm more and more inclined to do one side project, I don't think it will free me to need a 9to5 job in the meantime, but at least I can be productive without being bossed around and just do whatever I want with it.

Might as well try to launch something public instead of acummulating unused private repos on github, I mean they're free now (thx microsoft overlords) but still failures on forgotten drawers...
