Losing weight and get a flat belly
If your aim is to losing weight and get a flat belly you must have to adopt something that is very different: In some cases, miracles only happen if and only if you let them happen. If we asked any woman or man a question that from which part of their body they are not satisfied, a good percentage would answer that dissatisfied part of their body is their belly fat. If you think that, there is not any product that makes you fit again so, your thinking is totally wrong? There is a product that helps you To doing that it's "The Okinawa Flat Belly Tonic".

Wow, you're not kidding! I've never used it before but was frustrated by how broken my other choices were and didn't realize how bad that could be. (First choice: imgur. No longer supporting upload from mobile without their app and mandatory sign in. Second choice: DropBox. Their extension is broken and it saved it as a PDF. Then it saved it as a PNG explicitly but the app was making it too hard to get the direct link to the image without using their share sheet and specifying an email address to send to.)

In my small town all the locally-owned and operated coffee shops were forced to close due to government mandates, and most are now closed permanently, because they couldn't afford to pay rent without any customers.

McDonald's and Starbucks? Still churning out coffee to people standing in long lines.

It's infuriating, but what can you do?

It is said that the Quebec French accent is the same as was spoken in France in the 1600’s and hasn’t changed that much over the years whereas the French accent, has. I’m not sure if this is true, however.
Are you expecting that analysis to be in the headline itself? Several of the questions you pose are answered in the article.

"The losses last month were concentrated among restaurants, bars, hotels and entertainment venues. Educational services, mostly colleges and universities, also cut workers in December. So did film and music studios."

" Economists say it could take several years for the labour market to recover from the pandemic."

"contacts in the leisure and hospitality sectors reported renewed employment cuts due to stricter containment measures."
Yep. Certainly my contention. I don't need an expensive 5TB (tier in Canada). I need an affordable 1/2 TB to 1TB.

Chances are that newer models (S/X with MCU2, the Model 3, etc) don't have such bad issues. Beyond that, I can easily think of a few reasons...

First, this doesn't affect the parts of the car necessary to actually drive it. (Remember, the dashboard on the Model S is a separate component.) The actual "car" part of the car still works just fine, and you can even reboot this part while driving without causing problems.

Second, most people who actually own these cars tend to be somewhat protective of the company's image. Therefore, while you'll see plenty of ranting on Tesla-specific forums, it rarely leaks out into the greater conversation.

Third, and most importantly, all of the reporters who write articles covering Tesla are doing so from the perspective of an outsider looking in. They jump all over the great features and new easter eggs, but are completely and utterly oblivious to all the "quality of life" issues you'll only ever notice if you actually own the damn car and drive it every day.

Would love to know what resources you are speaking of here.

We've definitely done some whack-a-mole with allocations in the engine, and of course there's always things getting changed/added still.
Meanwhile te company I work for is moving away from it. We cannot find enough people with enough knowledge to be already productive in it. Not many want to learn it because it is considered pretty niche, and the ones willing to learn will need many months or years to be productive and build with some level of quality, and once they learn they move away to bigger companies which pay more. We end up paying to people to learn to then "graduate" and we end up with a platform built by people that were learning.

Some people here say the tooling is great. Compared to what? The editor plugins are terrible, slow, and blow away your CPU doing god knows what kind of indexing. Compilation is slow and takes a lot of time (in CI for example). Libraries for things you give for granted in other platforms (java, javascript, python, ruby) are non existent, implemented in erlang, unmantained, poorly documented, not popular enough, or a combination of these.

People are using it for creating traditional CRUD apps, and it is totally overkill. Something you would do in a day with django or ruby on rails takes a lot of time. Ok, you have tons of concurrency and scaling and.....but... unless you are facebook or google or amazon you won't need this anyway.

Probably all of these things will be solved in the future, but at this moment, using Elixir for real production code in product focused companies is just a terrible mistake in my opinion. Certainly the ideas, the technology, and the BEAM are awesome...and it is technically superior to everything I've seen out there. But from a business perspective, it makes no sense to use it unless you're building the next whatsapp or similar.

The exact same flaw (your party might misuse the system and expose secrets) exists in the design of PGP/GPG and whenever it comes up in that context it's a reason to throw GPG into the garbage disposal. But when it's an Apple product suddenly the product is fine and it's the parties' fault for not using it properly?

Why the disconnect?

I don't see how this is an issue. Let's say google proudly advertises that chrome is backdoor free. But at the same time they provide a remote desktop solution (aka backdoor) that users can optionally enable. Is this an issue?
Qualcomm isn't the only microprocessor vendor. And even if it was, imagine this call:

"Hi, Qualcomm, this is Rick Osterloh from Google. How much money would we need to invest for you to release a smartwatch processor that isn't garbage?"
"Hey Rick. We'd need about $$$$."
"Great, I work for a trillion-dollar company."

Which is to say, Google has the money and power to literally make what it wants happen, if it isn't happening, it's not reasonable or logical to blame another party. It is fundamentally a lack of commitment by Google to support their product line.

Panamanian human rights activist arrested and accused of stealing data from gov
Yesterday, Andre Conte https://twitter.com/AndreBConte, a well-known Panamanian human rights activist was taken by the Panamanian police to face accusations of stealing data from government servers. More details here: https://www.prensa.com/impresa/panorama/fiscalia-pide-una-au... . Given Conte's vocal human rights advocacy activities, criticisms of the government, given the Panama's long track record of impunity regarding to human rights violations (most recently the violent treatment of protestors), it is suspected by many that this is a move by the Government to abuse the courts in order to silence and intimidate its critics. This case has little precedent in Panama, and the ineptitude of the court systems to handle cases regarding information security came to light recently with the failed attempt to convict an ex-president (Ricardo Martinelli) for wiretapping. Are there international organizations that could help in this case? For example, helping to determine the validity of the evidence presented by the government, etc.

It was a joint effort. To claim any single entity won alone is wrong. There are alternate history questions, but they will never be conclusive.
Right, and banks gave away the money to businesses that were good at paperwork (including some owned by politicians who got preferential treatment). The money, for the most part, didn't go where it was needed.

I know it would be next to impossible here in the U.S., but one of the things China did for the lockdown was to declare a rent abatement for anyone not allowed to do business. This wasn't a suspension where you got hammered later. You just did not pay rent while you had no income. End of story.

It was a temporary suspension of the economy in order to get back to a more normal level of operation. Australia is another example of this.

We got theater, fraud, and politicization instead.

The title reminds me of the Japanese strip Rent-a-Girlfriend, and how much it, and several similar ideas coming from Japan seem to express how lonely many of it's citizens might be feeling.

Japanese commerce seems to have found a rather big market into treating loneliness. From the existence of Host Clubs, bars where the menu is not only food, but a good conversation with one's designated “host” as well, to cafés where the waiter plays a role of one's doting younger sister. Of course, it is probably also indicated by the infamously declining birth rate.

Rent-a-Girlfriend is a bizarre thing to read, if one not understand it's target audience. It's a new dimension to The 40 Year Old Virgin, with the exception that the protagonist is supposed to be relatable to the audience — he's unbelievably socially awkward and not in a way that derives humor from it, but is meant to invoke a sense of relatability and it essentially seems to exist as a way to vicariously cope with loneliness, as is surprisingly common in Japanese fiction.
Ha & to be fair I've been on and am on a call now trying to sugar coat this exact issue at scale with in-flux relatable scenarios.

Considering the ubiquitous Touhou references (https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Cirno#Personality), I would assume that the project is at least 4chan-adjacent (or at least adjacent to the culture of 4chan's early days; the demographic transition from people pretending to be [bad thing] to actual [bad thing] people who are not in on the joke is a matter of internet lore). This makes it quite likely that this is exactly the reaction the authors were hoping for, with the intention of keeping out the first group in the blog post's trichotomy ("Those who won’t use 9Front because of it, those whose choice is unaffected by it, and those feeling welcomed by it.").

Wait, what? You casually suggest that the pandemic was planned as a conspiracy against the middle class, but you don't think it matters whether it was a conspiracy or not? Please clarify if I misunderstood.
@jack Comments on Trump Ban
Listening intently without injecting criticism, condemnation, or your own complaints/opinions is extremely difficult. In fact, that skill is one of the major tenants of the timeless classic, How to Win Friends and Influence People. This quote is straight from the book:

“Any fool can criticize, complain, and condemn—and most fools do. But it takes character and self-control to be understanding and forgiving.”

With isolation becoming a major issue during the pandemic, I'm not surprised people want to hire someone with these skills to just listen to their ideas and stories.
I think that also includes cars getting totalled early on in their lifespans? That would bring the average down appreciably!

Just another sign that the core of every tech company's executive leadership is the drive to build a machine with one instruction: make us as much money as possible. They'd happily tuck this machine away in the basement and eliminate the human supervision as a "cost" if they could. At heart, they really don't care what the machine does. And the engineers? Let's hope they automate themselves away eventually! They're always demanding payraises and causing a stink. Instruction side condition: keep engineers busy with scaling up, try not to get us into trouble.

I will say that for a law abiding citizen, there's really no real road block to getting a Class III. However, only very few people bother to do it.

In so far as to how dangerous it is, there are 630,000 legal full-auto/select-fire weapons in the US. They do require a Class III license to purchase and own and there have been no new ones since 1986. As I recall, of those 630,000, only 3 have been used illegally since 1934 and 2 of those were, ironically, by cops.

To add, quants that can't do the data engineering work are always crappy quants. I haven't seen a counter-example to that. Profitable models aren't going to be delivered on a silver platter. They need to be able to process pretty low level data effectively and build ad-hoc custom tools and data pipelines around that to test out their ideas. Otherwise they're constrained to the tools others have built and that massively narrows the search space that they're capable of traversing.

The best quants are 1/3 statistician, 1/3 developer and 1/3 trader, in my view.

It's definitely not just boys who get into programming for the escapism, but anyone who is unhappy with how their body or how they look. Computer Science attracts more trans people than any profession I know that isn't related to drag performance.

For me personally, I loved programming as a kid because it had a macho culture I could actually participate in (programming definitely has a macho culture of all-nighters, showing off skills, putting down people who don't understand things as well) and my body (which I hated) didn't matter. Now that I have transitioned to male and have a body I can stand, I actively dislike Computer Science and can't wait to leave it.

As an aside, programming was heavily female-dominated when my grandma was a programmer. There are a lot of factors that contributed to the shift, including changing professional requirements, new job opportunities for women, the advertising around video games, and the stereotypes that developed about programming and nerd culture.

The fact that the sea does not belog to anyone is exactly why the US guarantees free navigation. If someone tries to seize your property in a nation's territory, you can go to that nation's government for restitution. They'll police their territory and prevent would-be thieves or other bad actors. At the very least, you can bring a suit against the bad actor and the government will force them to comply with the court's decision.

However on the open sea, there is no such authority. What's to stop someone from sailing up and seizing your crew and cargo? You don't know the nationality of these pirates, and even if you did you have no way of forcing their government to do anything about it. Indeed they may be working for that government. You could try to defend yourself, but then the pirates will just better arm themselves and the odds of violence escalating dramatically increases.

Someone needs to prevent piracy and unlawful seizure for international shipping to be possible at its current scale. Having a single power guarantee free navigation allows ships to cross the world while avoiding complicated jurisdiction divides (if one nation won't give you permission to sail through its waters, you can go around) and eliminates jurisdictional overlap (Country A says Country B's ship is committing piracy and vice versa) which could lead to conflict. It's also just more efficient as the vast majority of nations don't need to duplicate the infrastructure to maintain a navy that can protect assets on the other side of the world - which also means countries don't need to enter arms races to protect themselves from their neighbors' defensive fleets "just in case" they aren't really that defensive.

We will know the answer to that question once we study thoroughly all versions of microcode those processors have/ had. Alto had how much? 128k ? and some big part of it was for display memory? And it was a full OS. Just imagine what you can have in firmware/bootloader now days. Is it that hard to imagine for everybody?
I think it's disingenuous how all of these news articles phrase it as if the pandemic itself was responsible for hurting these businesses. In reality, the effect of covid alone on business would be very small for most industries. The thing that's actually destroying these businesses (and the middle-class wealth behind them) is the government reaction to the pandemic, not the pandemic itself.

>The exact same flaw exists in the design of PGP/GPG and whenever it comes up in that context it's a reason to throw GPG into the garbage disposal.

I literally never heard of this. There are problems with PGP (eg. no forward secrecy, non-reputability, unencrypted headers) but "your counterparty could be compromised" isn't one of them.
Not the parent, but I read that as, whether or not it was a conspiracy, the effect seems to be the same and the damage is done, so whether it is or not doesn't really matter.

As in, focusing on the cause of the problem and whether it was intentional or not isn't going to solve the problem.
We don't know if it's worse or not. Anonymity may help people go wilder than if their name is attached. Or it might be the other way around... it's not clear.
I'm sure the sentiment here will be very much against this acquisition, but keep in mind that Fitbit was getting killed and would likely have gone out of business without this. It is tough for a company like Fitbit to compete with Apple & Samsung.

This should lead to more competition by making it possible for Fitbit to compete with Apple. If it doesn't then the acquisition was a failure for Google anyway - Fitbit's current market share is not acceptable for a company like Google.
