The non-root way to silently update is to install a DPC (device policy controller). Has existed for the past 10 years to support enterprise MDM. Only catch is that to install the DPC you have to factory reset your phone to place it into the special state where no accounts have "ever" been signed in to, which is what allows a DPC to be installed. (Removing all accounts from the device may also work)

The nice thing is that once the DPC is installed you can `adb install -r` (reinstall, ie update) it without needing to factory reset. Just don't uninstall it accidentally :D

On your first point, it is certainly the case that many scientists came from abroad, and in fact that is still the case today, you don't need Nazi persecutions for that. But we are talking about whether the academic system produces game changing research, not where the researchers were born (in fact if anything,the fact that people are attracted by this model is a testimony to its effectiveness).

As for the 90%, agree, that's where I found that number. But do the exercise of listing all the major technological advances you can think of that mattered on the XX century, and I think you will likely end up close to that.

Yes, but the GDP of the EU is $19 trillion, the GDP of Israel is $350 billion, that’s 1/50th of the population and 1/54th of the GDP.

While I’m aware that things don’t scale the same, and that currently the supply chain has its own hard restrictions on production you can’t argue that paying more won’t allow you to ramp up production faster, this is also what the UK did.

The EU could’ve allocated much more funding and ordered much more doses of both approved vaccines and vaccine candidates they haven’t they’ve put most of the eggs in the AZ basket and then tried to haggle on the price of the cheapest vaccine sold at cost.

HR has to set up these policies in place to make sure their salaries line up with local averages. However, it's up to the management to decide who will fill the positions and at what salary. They will make adjustments to make sure their top performers are compensated properly.

Parlor and Gab are fairly harrowing examples of what happens when censorship occurs. People leave platforms with diverse views and head to echo chambers. Those folks end up having stronger, more radical opinions because they were forced into a corner.

No one has ever given me any compelling reason for censorship. Hate is defeated in the open, it is fairly impossible to deal with in private channels. Censors also cannot censor everything, so content always slips through the cracks.

Hi, I forget what the exact cause was, but awhile back, I noticed that for The Guardian in Bing, the description blurb started out with "The Guardian, a far left wingnut rag..." - I told them about it and they had this recurring problem fixed. It was some sort of cache poisoning somewhere that is out of your control. So if you are sure you have not been hacked...

Google Webmaster Tools might have some help pages - do you have an account for managing your domain? IIRC, there might be a field somewhere where you can set this description. I know you can manually set this in some fashion... You have to prove you own the domain etc first. And check or get a Bing Webmaster type account as well.
It can be powerful just to say something like: "I don't agree with that"

Direct refutation of what they have said suggests that you are open to discussion in light of further evidence, and invites people to find new arguments; whereas, saying that you fundamentally disagree makes your position much clearer.
You think of what GameStop was, not what it is becoming.

Chewy's Founders and now board members are obviously not in the business of losing money, they bought a sizeable portion of the stock and are now members of the board.

GME has been transitioning to e-commerce (this is where Ryan Cohen and the new board comes in), where they tripled their sales (e-commerce) each year.

In addition, one of the board members is owner of Cloud9, an e-sports company. I suspect that this could enable GME shops to organize events/tournaments, another idea is to play the same role sports pubs do, but adjusted for e-sports.

Sure, I'm even old enough to remember this but on cassettes and floppy disks! But - software now is much more complex than it used to be - most software has dependencies on other libraries/frameworks, and has to deal with communication and encryption (where it is all to easy to make subtle mistakes). IMO, for security reasons alone, it's no longer realistic to expect software without at least occasional updates.
The seven liberal arts are the foundation of the European university system and not a modern American invention.
The EU has administered 2 doses per hundred citizens. The UK and US have administered 12 and 8 respectively.

The EU treated this like a procurement exercise, fussing over price and process and not buying sufficiently diverse portfolio.

UK and US treated this like an emergency. Every day of lockdown costs close to total vaccines expenditure, so they moved fast.

Now the EU is scapegoating a company that is producing the vaccine at cost, faster than other firms, because it is more advanced in its separate UK supply chain, that was established and approved to start distribution months ahead of EU.

Saying the EU process was different so it is understandable that it took longer, because it saved some cost or saved some duplication of procurement energy is missing the point. This is a disaster. The only thing that matters is speed!

The "irrelevant best practice" of observing a freshly-vaccinated person for half an hour to rule out (or promptly respond to, as the case may be) any immediate and acute reactions to the vaccine? Irrelevant? As in you think that is something healthcare providers should...just not do, as though the human body is a server that can just be restarted if it crashes?

I'll just go out and give a contrarian view. In The Netherlands all this and more happened under direct government supervision. We are on the lowest ladder of vaccinations, the PII of all tested individuals seem to have leaked / be stolen, with a minister in active denial and no view on improvements any time soon. The last time we did a vaccination that went well (H1N1) the army was closely involved for logistics, not primarily the bureaucracy. The bureaucracy actually had meetings with those in the lead back then and decided against using their experiences. The minister proudly mentioned starting to think about the vaccination policy in December.

My point being ... They came pretty far for a startup 'led by a 22-yr old' (ageism) and seem to have done a lot of things right, primarily starting planning very early. The city of Philadelphia could have fared worse. Perhaps the suggestion of a pivot in the money grab direction is the worst ethically, but I'd like to see more facts. This is mostly a hit piece. Without financial incentives in play, at least in one country professional bureaucrats have fared lots worse than this startup.
I am a native San Franciscan, and an engineer looking forward to the tech exodus.

Most startup prospectors really hate our culture. Once the financial incentive goes away, people are free to seek their fortunes and happiness elsewhere without impacting ours.
Even when you can use a non-free repo, that still leaves the question of payment. Because most who distribute nonfree apps, want money first.
I doubt this is compatible with F-Droids architecture.
From the reports we're seeing over here the claim is that until the Wrexham factory came online, we were producing the vaccine in the UK but shipping it to the Netherlands for fill and finish, and then it was shipped back. If that is the case then the EC is going to look a bit stupid. If it does turn out that AZ has been shipping vaccines fully produced in the EU to the UK then I can understand their anger more, although I think it's a bit daft to make a public fight out of it - to me it would make sense that early production would be routed to the UK as we approved the vaccine earlier, and we could get a head-start on vaccinating our most vulnerable population, and then when the EU approved it later we could have returned the favour and routed some of our production back that way. But I also understand that the UK hasn't exactly inspired...confidence in our generosity in recent years.

I don't think you are speaking in good faith.
Related: if you don't want to do something, providing the genuine reason you don't want to can avoid some pretty frustrating fights over whether you should do it. At the very least, arguments tend to be relevant.

Providing the reason might, of course, provoke other fights, or be embarrassing.

During another activity I was talking to somebody about this test, and when I visualised it in my head I realised that even though I was talking about testing my "Security Key 2" I had actually tested a much simpler/cheaper Feitian based U2F authenticator I own because it was in my pocket and I just instinctively use the one I'm carrying for FIDO authentication.

Unsurprisingly this cheaper device doesn't do hmac-secret.

However I have now fetched my actual genuine Yubico Security 2 and re-tested that, and it does have hmac-secret despite Yubico's own site seeming to suggest otherwise.

The chances anybody is reading this for any reason other than to point out I was wrong are small, but just in case this is found by somebody's later Google search here it is.

Here's some example output from Yubico's example app (the secrets here are random and worthless)

> Approval doesn't matter when AZ has to build stock to meet deadlines. Basically they weren't building stock to fulfill UK orders, from EU based production.

Vaccine delivery, like pretty much everything else, is just-in-time delivery. They haven't been building stocks. They've been manufacturing vaccines and shipping them straight out as they have signed contracts with many other countries other than the UK. Demand is outstripping supply.

The EU's argument, which is well documented in the press, is that they've promised about 300 million Euros to AZ to build up capacity, only a small amount of which they've paid AZ. It is also well documented that it takes time to get a vaccine manufacturing plant working at close to 100% yield, something even the UK plant hasn't achieved. It's simply the case that the EU should have agreed and paid sooner so that AZ could have invested that money in the EU plants sooner. All of this is covered in the 'best reasonable efforts' parts of the contract.

> It takes months to build stock, but they were flushing that stock to UK.

Evidence? As far as I can see in the press, the AZ doses in the UK are coming from the AZ manufacturing plants in the UK, and it is vdL / the EU that is demanding that AZ doses in the UK are diverted to the EU to make up the current shortfall in EU manufacturing.
No, only if we go back as far as the medieval ages, so not in practice, which is what I said.

Wikipedia explains

> Thus, on the level of higher education, despite the European origin of the liberal arts college, the term liberal arts college usually denotes liberal arts colleges in the United States. With the exception of pioneering institutions such as Franklin University Switzerland (formerly known as Franklin College), established as a Europe-based, US-style liberal arts college in 1969, only recently some efforts have been undertaken to systematically "re-import" liberal arts education to continental Europe.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_arts_education

Almost zero people in Europe will have done a liberal arts education. As a mainstream thing it's really a uniquely American idea.

And again, where is this idea of the UK doing liberal arts 30 years ago from? That's a bizarre claim not grounded in any kind of reality.

I've been working on a League of Legends Build Order optimizer.
I got the idea after hearing one of my new co-worker explaining that at his last job he worked in a team of five trying to create a build order optimizer for Dota 2 (another Moba game) via neural networks and they failed. More specifically, the builds were no better than what a standard player could come up with.

I recalled back to my PhD work on solving acquisition problems using generic algorithms and realized I could actually do it. One covid year later and I've almost finished it.

You give it the champion, the play style and divide up the abstract stats like Damage, Effective Health, Gap Close, etc... and the genetic algorithm gives an optimized build order for it.

The site is backed by ~450,000 pre-computed build orders, which took a week to generate on a 32 core box.

I've been talking to some challenger (really good) players and got a list of things that needed to be done. Basically being able to change the various options used by the model and being able to override runes/items.

Since it wouldn't be practical to run the whole genetic algorithm in a web browser, I've implemented a hill climber, which runs in the web browser, that accepts the output of the genetic algorithm, the user requested changes and then it hill climbs the build order back to the local optima.

The genetic algorithm was written in Kotlin (compiled to JVM) so I used Kotlin's compile to Javascript to create the web based hill climber.

I've also implemented guides so you save the builds you find from the optimizer. You can login as guest/guest.

100% as it already happened.

The exchange didn't suspend trading, several brokers widely used by small investors did. And some of them didn't suspend all trading, just purchases (sales were still allowed).

There may or may not have been malicious intent, but the EFFECT is much stronger and less fair than a hault to trading would have been: it forces small investors (but not big ones) to push the stock in a particular direction.

I also found more evidence your position on FINRA here (pdf):

https://www.finra.org/sites/default/files/NoticeDocument/p00...

It reads:

> The SEC has stated that “routing order flow for automated execution, or internally executing order flow on an auto- mated basis, at the best bid or offer quotation, would not necessarily satisfy a broker-dealer’s duty of best execution for small orders in listed and OTC securities.” The reasoning behind this view is that prices better than the NBBO may be readily accessible to the member."
