In many ways, opting for Chromium was a poor choice by Vivaldi as it turned off many people from it due to Google's privacy invasive practice, and overall bad reputation in this area. These fears turned out to be even more true after Google integrated and intertwined Chrome with more of its services, and even went so far to cripple ad-blockers on it. It's also resource hog.

They should have opted for Webkit (or even Gecko, even though their code base is a mess). They also need to dump their Web UI and switch to native UI of the OS.

> I also understand that is just because there are other stupid people around carrying guns.

Your understanding is incorrect. I don't carry a gun because I fear others have guns at all. You all seem to think that a gun is the only way that someone can hurt you. When I was a younger man I was the victim of an attempted car-jacking. Fortunately quick thinking got me out of that situation. Regardless of whether this individual attempting to steal my car with me in it had a gun or not, he was physically larger than me and would have caused me harm (I did not grow up learning to fight.)

The idea of other people having guns is not the primary reason I carry. I'm happy for you that you never felt the need to carry a gun. I'd rather have one and not need it than need it and not have one. I respect your opinion, but the fact is we all have different, valid life experiences that affect our behavior and actions. I feel safe not carrying (I don't live in a warzone,) but I feel much safer carrying when and where I can lawfully do so.
Try playing Doom: Eternal. I play with headphones and didn’t realize I was panting until my wife said I was and wondering if I was okay.

A lot of that’s due to the game requiring you to be constantly moving or else you’ll get killed pretty quick. Does a really good job of balancing the game if you continue to die in the same location. I was really impressed by it, to the point that I didn’t mind the entire reason the action is happening as a Mars mining mission actually was mining hell and the demons escaped. No seriously it makes sense.
I know two pilots in their 50s (husband and wife, who met through their work). Because of covid, they're back in flight simulators. For them, it's very very weird to be in a simulator unless it's for extreme scenarios like zero visibility, treacherous wind, engine failure etc. He's had a handful of flights in the last few months so his licence is ok, but she's got to fly as co-pilot for a while because she hasn't flown for 3 months. There's a critical mass issue though... If an airline doesn't have enough pilots who can fly, it takes a while for the rest to get the co-pilot fly time. So now she's in the simulator, and the instruction is simply "Take off from London, touch down in Dublin".

I thought it was like riding a bicycle - you don't forget. While that's true to an extent, I was told that you do "lose your edge" without constant practice. (I'm sure every developer knows what is like to go back to a language after a year of not using it).

I'm not suggesting that it's a factor here, just wanted to give a different angle to the low flight volume.
If we condemn it for one, we must condemn it for all. Or is egalitarianism (even for the worst people) no longer a principle most people uphold?
I was a founding member of the egcs steering committee. When we were creating the rules, we had a debate over whether we should have a specific list of offenses that would allow us to ban someone: some wanted a specific list, others just wanted a supermajority to vote the person out. We settled on a 3/4 vote of steering committee members. I wrote the justification, saying that we shouldn't be stuck if someone came up with a new and creative way to cause damage.

And sure enough, we only banned one person ever. We banned him because he made a series of scary threats against the release manager, including "I know where you live", but these threats were made off-list, it was a campaign of personal harassment because no one wanted this idiot's patches. Suppose we had forgotten to include threats of violence off-list in our expected set of rules? And remember, we were talking about our mailing lists, which are forums according to section 230. So, would we lose our section 230 protections under your proposal?
Cool. Interesting concept. While I'm not in the video game space, it seems to me like there could be value for a particular niche.

The long term reduction in demand for Saudi oil is mostly due to opening up American reserves to fracking.

That’s terrible news for the environment.

Under Biden, with the house and the senate under control, and with calls to eliminate the filibuster, there’s a chance the US will take action soon.

If the Senate does not eliminate the filibuster, then assume they’re planning for 4 more years of big oil.

I hope we have protests that dwarf BLM if the filibuster is left in place.
Seems reasonable, just costs a lot of money. The cost of harassment should out-weigh the cost of protection here tho.

Agreed. This is an under-appreciated impact of widespread, long-term lockdowns. It disrupts basically everything in both obvious and non-obvious ways ranging from subtle to severe.

I've been reading some concerning analyses by supply chain experts documenting the increasing stresses and failures in supply chains throughout the economy. Basically, you can't change this much, this fast, across so many interlinked systems and not cause significant unexpected failures.
One missed in the list is the seller / marketer always hyperinflates the equivalent bits strength of a biometric under the most ideal conditions etc.

In real world practice the equivalent number of bits of something like a real world iris scanner is NOT even close to the number of megapixels in the camera LOL.

Another problem alluded to was filth. The fingerprint scanner at a former employer was filthy beyond all recognition after housekeeping destroyed the first one trying to clean it (side issue, why are all biometric sensors so incredibly non-robust compared to a RFID scanner or human guard?). Anyway the thick gross layer of human grease on the fingerprint scanner made people grossed out during flu season so they would capacitive couple getting close to but not touching the sensor and relying on the last person to touch the filthy thing to have left enough fingerprint to work. It worked pretty well. The concept of a non-contact fingerprint scanner in the last century is pretty funny. I wonder if it still works. A more general filth problem is in the covid era I would not want to share eyeball juice with everyone going thru a retina scanner.
Hardly, similar emergency authorizations have been applied in other EU countries, in actuality these exemptions were applied last year and the UK is late in doing this... Not sure how the EU really comes into this at all.

You might want to put an example of the syntax on the landing page.

I have been to the "comparison" page and I'm still not sure what it looks like, because of the heavy highlighting (are the big dots part of the syntax? Are the tiny square brackets?) and there doesn't seem to be another example on the site.

Even if another pilot was present, from that altitude a suicidal co-pilot could easily cause an unrecovable dive and crash. If two pilots pull/push controls to opposite directions they kind of neutralize each other, and obviously the suicidal one would have element of surprise as an advantage.

In fact just that happened on EgyptAir flight 990. A suicidal copilot was able to crash the plane even with another pilot present, and that happened from a higher altitude.

Someone below wrote, " Doing these gives me a 100% guaranteed 3 day long headache. "

I have something like this and I've spent many years trying to figure it out. One MRI (which showed nada), three or four doctors, several years of physical therapy, and a personal trainer who studied the problem later, and I am concluding the following:

- I have loosey goosey joints more than other people. It's not extreme but enough.

- I have usage of computers that far exceeds 90% of the population (12+ hours a day).

- When the joints are loose, things get inflamed. When tendons and the joint structures get inflamed, the bodies responds protectively by tightening (turning on) stabilizer muscles

- Stabilizer muscles can be weak and thus get overworked, causing spasms and other issues

- Tight muscles can cause imbalances, further causing a chain reaction of more inflammation and spasms

I've been doing weightlifting (not bodybuilding which you should not do if you value your body long-term! Strength Training and a bit of Olympic Weightlifting) for a number of years. I've been analyzing and thinking about posture for years. I'm typing this on a standing desk at home that has a monitor with an articulating arm (similar setup at work). I use left and right mice alternating. I sit and stand, alternating. I do neck stretches every morning and some isometric neck stuff. I suspect part of my problem is shoulder mobility so I also do daily scapular work.

Yet. I suffer from neck pain every few days with flare-ups that last days and sometimes go away for a week or two.

Medicine: You Suck! We can send robots to Mars and make self-driving cars, but due to the incoherence of modern medicine, I spend hours watching Yoga and PT videos and end up memorizing the names of bones and joints and physiological movements. And I suffer. Fuck you, Medicine!

Glad I got that off my chest.
You kind of answered the question, with the question. You just separate yourself from the game.

If you lose it's not a big deal, if you win it's also not a big deal. If someone annoys you, just go find another server/game.

Basically you do everything to avoid getting emotion.

Another option is to find a less intense genre you may like, such as simulation or something less action packed.

You can't really be highly invested in a action packed heart pounding game, and look like a bored zombie. Even top tier CS streamers/professional gamers while they may not appear super invested it's mostly because they are not highly invested, they are just playing to practice something/or for entertainment for their viewers. If you watch them at a intense match or tournament you'll see them at their peak intensity.
So start a federation that doesn't do that. Yes, it probably won't have many users. Once again, it's a people problem, and a hard one.

Maybe a blockchain? A public and unalterable ledger (which is what a blockchain is, of course). But being completely unmoderated users will use tools to moderate for them, tools that can block content they don't like. Indeed, users would coalesce and build lists of who to listen to, and who to not, and they'd keep that list on the unalterable and uncensorable blockchain.
Yeah if browsers would just render markdown nicely that'd be great.
We condemn it for people launching violent insurrections, that's where the line is. It's illegal in a real town hall and should be illegal in the virtual one.
The mistake Quibi made was charging for content. The idea otherwise is solid.
jamanetwork really needs to work on the accessibility of it's web design. Like most large online publishers of academic papers it recently made massive changes to it's journal sites so they're all javascript and CSS. Unlikely most large online publishers it hasn't realized what a mistake that was and implemented a fallback for content display in the absence of javascript execution. As is the page displays everything except the article in question (until you disable CSS).

Not applicable, that problem was introduced in 1997 with the 737-NG. This aircraft here was manufactured in 1994.

3000 day/night cycles, which are possibly more wearing on the equipment than the sheer passage of time.
Some more modern aircraft indeed have such protections, but this was an old 737 without any such stuff. Simply pushing the control column fully forward would send the plane into a dive pretty quickly.

It’s funny to me all these free speech conversations that happen when a gigantic piece of shit like trump gets told to stfu. “Oh em gee what if jack told me to stop posting my furry porn”.

Dude, it’s not the same thing. The furries aren’t quite literally and openly calling for people to execute sitting members of government. No one wants to ban the furries. Or the save the whales guys. Or the church of satan. No one cares what any of those guys do or say. It’s just the nazis. We have decided as a society that nazis shouldn’t be allowed to speak. No, we’re not going to listen to them because they have nothing to add. Their opinions do not matter. Pretending like they do and wrapping it up in a free speech argument is how we got trump in the first place.
> That building was some how protected from people but the capitol building couldn’t be?

It could have, but the DoD and Trump by extension purposefully weakened security and delayed sending in reinforcements to help.

Was he violent? Did he break any laws? You realize there were multiple former and current Republican elected officials among the seditionists in DC?

> But some how here the death was by the police shooting the protester and some how this is violent?

Well when you have multiple deaths by violence, yes. The below video I found uncomfortable and disturbing, but I link it to provide evidence this was not a nonviolent protest. https://www.cnn.com/videos/us/2021/01/09/officer-crushed-in-...

That's how I feel how guns should be looked at. If you don't want to own/carry a gun, that's your business - but don't try to stop me from doing so based on your preferences/opinions. Do guns wind up getting used to hurt people illegally - certainly. So do a lot of other things (alcohol, knives, vehicles, etc.) We don't ban them, we simply regulate them. We already have plenty of gun laws, and most people (99.999%) are law-abiding citizens.

A "survival wiki." I built it for myself. It's mediawiki on a raspberry pi zero, AC/DC powered, with an e-ink display. It connects automatically to a known wifi network and displays the connection details. When the wifi network goes down however, it automatically switches to access-point mode, allowing you to connect directly to it through your phone or other wifi client device.

There's still some quirks to work out, but it works well. I store personal knowledge on it and I don't have to worry about rebooting my primary computer (and taking down the wiki), or a power outage preventing me from accessing my information.

To be clear, this isn't saying that any anti-depressant is effective for COVID. It appears to be a unique side-effect of Fluvoxamine.

There are several existing drugs which have been found to have modulatory effects on early COVID infections. The key word here is "early", as most of them only have a significant impact before the infection gets out of control.

Keep in mind that Hydroxychloroquine is one of the existing drugs discovered to have some effect on early infections, but it clearly failed to have much impact on late-stage infections.

The study authors were careful to exclude severe or late-stage infections from their trial to avoid similar failures:

> Participants were community-living, nonhospitalized adults with confirmed severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection, with COVID-19 symptom onset within 7 days and oxygen saturation of 92% or greater.
I think there are so so many variables it’s impossible to answer this question:

- do you have kids/care about education?

- do you need good internet (assuming yes)?

- do you prefer the city vs suburbs vs the countryside?

- do you care any about the predominant industries of the local economy? Or are you just caring about remote freelancing?

Not to mention considerations of family, friends you want to be nearby. And the culture of the place you live.

If your only consideration is a place to claim residence with a low tax burden and cost of living as a remote freelancer, it’s easy to list those options. If you expect good public services like education and public transportation that’s going to look quite different. If you want to support non profits or work in defense contracting, that’s also very different.
I would encourage you to keep working on this - IMHO it has potential in that scientific collaboration (also in mathematics) is increasingly done by globally distributed teams.

You may need:
- user/ID management
- linking to Overleaf/GitHub for collaborative authoring of jointly produced output (e.g. papers to publish a proof)
- integration (e.g. via HTML snippets) in user's personal blogs.

There's semi-competition from e.g. Mathematica notebooks and the likes, but these are perhaps more targeting single authors, not conversations/teams.
>The separation of the configure step from the build step is needlessly confusing and makes some things impossible.

I'm confused. How do you propose CMake supports all those build generators without doing this?

(PS. I really don't think the syntax is that bad, aside that it is jarring for C programmers, most complaints are overblown and you get used to it once you learn the rules. It might be interesting if someone made a CMake variant with a less obscure syntax but I don't see much motivation for that to actually happen)
True. That happened to Atlas-Air 3591. Investigation conclusion was basically bad pilot.
In other words, no, you don't have any links proving any such thing. Your own link shows that mRNA-based Pfizer/BioNTech was approved before adenovirus-based Oxford/AstraZeneca in the UK. Ditto in the US. When you claim that something true is not true, you are the one uttering untruth. Why would you then be surprised by downvotes?
I get your point, and am generally of the mindset that technically correct is the best kind of correct.

But masscomm isn't technical writing. To the people who already don't understand, it's more misleading to pretend the amount is meaningfully more than zero, than to call a negligible amount "zero."
