life insurance if you can afford it, and an estate plan. That goes for both sexes.

Without an Trust, your estate will go through probate. I believe the county charges 1 percent, and it can take up to a year.

(A living Revocable Trust is not that difficult. Get it notarized. What I found confusing is funding the Trust. I need to do more research, but their is a form that needs to be filled out so your property taxes don't skyrocket. In CA it's the will doesn't need a notary's signature.)
I’m actually trying to say that it is an industry dominated by snake-oil, charlatans and coffee-table “science”. There is no standard or obvious measure of performance, and liability is usually of little concern. The planners I know are hardly puppets of the real estate cabal and much more victims of naïveté and wiz-bang marketing. Like, I’m assuming rails-devs a decade ago and, maybe, rust devs today.
I have been using the officially supported Sailfis OS on Sony Xperia devices for years as my main device:

https://jolla.com/sailfishx/

The idea is you buy one of the supported Xperia phones, buy a Sailfish OS license and flash it on the phone. The license you bought pays for continued software updates (new features & security fixes) as well some external software they integrate (predictive typing support & android app emulation support). Yeah, if the native Sailfish OS apps are not sufficient for you, it can also run most Android apps via an emulation layer.

So while Sailfish OS is not fully open source unfortunatelly, it's at the moment IMHO the best mobile Linux distro available on easy to get modern hardware.

Ideally over time fully open source distros and more open hardware take over but till then Sailfis OS can serve as a good "bridge", AZ it has since the Jolla company taking care of it was started by the ex N900/Maemo/MeeGO crew.
Yes, but neither is aerobraking in the same way it happens on Earth (as in the Starship maneuver)

Back in the 80s the city of SF encouraged people to walk in the GG Bridge to celebrate its 50th anniversary.

This solution is backwards compatible. Changing the installation verification process is not.
I opened the comments specifically to see if anyone else thought the price was unrealistic.
I'd be surprised if that price would even cover the cost of materials.
I would offer that I think the discussion here is respectful and seeking understanding for the most part. Personally, I truly respect the dedication the faithful have in living life according to the faith, and learning more about my neighbors and acquaintances is really interesting.
To be honest I kind of wish someone would build a proof-of-bandwidth crypto. Miners would overtake data centers with cheap transit, driving the build out of more long-haul network. Some would then move to different neighborhoods just to get FTTH access, enabling more incentive for last-mile build out.

When I needed new brush heads for my electric toothbrush. I hesitated before buying from Amazon, because I can't be sure that the toothbrush manufacturer-branded refills there are genuine. Going with a generic, compatible refill with good reviews is preferable in this case, aside from the lower price, because presumably no one will counterfeit it.

(I ended up buying the manufacturer-branded refill ... from Best Buy, not Amazon.)

Why do I care? Google can already modify the behavior of an app without the developer's permission; they can just push an update to Android that changes the behavior of that app. It's "reflections on trusting trust" all over again.
The problem with throwing any kind of device that includes a lithium-ion battery in the trash is that lithium-ion batteries tend to catch fire when crushed. Like, say, in a trash truck's compactor.

Everyone: please do not do this. Dispose of your battery-powered devices somewhere that's equipped to handle them.

(Now, the Openmoko phones had a removable battery, so it's possible you didn't toss that out with it. Then it's "just" e-waste rather than explody e-waste.)
How is an automated signing server better security anyway? Google can still sign what they want but now every dev has a missive security hole in the form a server that can sign code reachable from the open web?
I feel like I remember that, but might be confusing it with another bridge incident. I remember there being elephants in the celebration, significant “waves” in the bridge and some pretty serious injuries...but again I may be confusing it with another incident.

Edit: watched video, GG flattened out. Not sure what I am remembering and maybe mixing up a few bridge “disasters” and collapses into one.
Hm, but if we solved for those issues, we would probably just have USD. I thought the appeal of a fixed supply, non-double spend asset was to be able to keep up with previously exclusive asset inflation .
I would make sure I set expectations and say this is a 10 minute problem. I would also expect them to take longer than you, and usually 3x longer is a good estimate. Candidates are nervous and brains do strange things. I was give the exact same coding question I’ve asked dozens of time and I _forgot_ the solution and had to do it from first principles.

The ironic part is that this only happens in required courses for credentialism, generally at lower tier colleges that created the student loan crisis, not in courses that students choose for an education.

And it's especially prominent in math courses for students who don't know nor want to learn math.

Technically, both are expendable.

But I think it is not possible for Ingenuity to survive tipping over. Even if the rotors somehow survive 500km/h strike onto ground (which I find extremely unlikely) they are constructed to be perfectly balanced which is extremely important at that speed. Even slightly bent they are completely useless.

It is obvious the team understand this and will not waste time on fruitless rescue mission.
This is absolutely false.
There is zero requirement to use anything like Person for accreditation.
The SF Bay area got Apple Wallet support last week, too. I didn't want my physical card invalidated, so I created a new, virtual one from within Apple Wallet itself.
Intent mostly, the rest is whether you are creating or not.

If you have a hot water urn, that is always on and doesn't receive new water, then consuming the water isn't usually an issue. You still need to double pour (put it in one cup then in a second to ensure it isn't hot enough to cook) but using it is OK.

If you have a large hot water tank, consuming the water IS an issue. Mostly because the moment that you consume the water, you can reasonably assume that cold water will enter the tank. Once cold water enters the tank, it will likely start heating. Thus, you become the agent that turns the heaters on in the tank. But, if the hot water was flowing BEFORE shabbat and you consume the hot water, your action does not directly affect the actions taken by the heating components. The heater is already on and using an extra amount of water has minimal impact on when the heaters turn off. Thus it is more allowed.

Light is about creation and less about the light than the means to get it. Switches create sparks internally, lights create heat (even LEDs), and you are completing a circuit. Completion can be seen as the final act of creation.

And lastly, cooking takes something from in-edible to edible. Creating food from non-food. Even on foods that are permissible to warm, they must be edible before hand. They also cannot substantially change form -- nothing too liquid or anything that would go from solid to liquid. With that framework, warming up a piece of left over baked chicken would be OK, whereas making a grilled-cheese sandwich wouldn't be OK.

Not if you are on an non-Apple device. Or access an iOS App Store page from a Mac. The pages show just fine.
I am excited by this. I tried it a few months ago, then switched to a M1 Mac and went back to a current stable version. I find IDEs that are M1 native are noticeably faster. I look forward to a M1 native libgccjit Emacs.
> So if I have a full set of gnome applications (say 50) would I have 50 copies of Adwaita icon set?

No. Icons is easier to load with regular open/read, then with dlopen. But in any case they go into separate files, they are not in a binary.

Dynamic loading might be used to load data into the process, but it will be a very strange way to do it.

> And just because shared libs are PITA it's not just because of their nature, it's the lack of tooling from supposedly modern languages, ...

It is more complex than this. Dynamic linkage is limited in its ways. It couldn't do a type parametrization, for example. All it could do is to fill gaps in a code with function addresses. But it is not enough. Far not enough. For instance, you wouldn't like to dynamically link a c++ vector, because it is meant to be inlined and highly optimized then. Dynamic linker cannot inline or optimize.

So you are forced to use a lot of inlining at the stage of the static linking of the application binary, but then you get a problem of binary incompatibility between an app and a lib coming from lib being rebuilt with different optimizations.

So I'd say, that modern linux distributions should adapt to modern languages (like c++, lol), not vice versa.

> Each of these problems can be solved by not sweeping them under the rug.

For what end? What we possibly might gain, from solving these problems? Dynamic linkage is a runtime cost. Why should we prefer runtime costs to compile-time ones?
This seems to go against your claim of systematic racism[1]. More whites than any other race have been shot and killed by the police in the last 3 years.

Well, they did. I don't know why others find it controversial, but I do because I see a lot of destroyed value here, mostly over what I consider a failure of empathy and understanding.

We all saw what happened, and we're talking about it because most of us think things could have gone a little better.
They don't have to assume the whole liability - they can have a supplier contract that passes through all the liability costs (or part of it) to the supplier. In fact, as I understand, Amazon already does that. It's just that Amazon would become the first station to sue if the consumer is wronged. Nothing prevents the Amazon from passing the responsibility by either suing the supplier in turn or forcing them to join the lawsuit. What Amazon wanted is to be completely out of the picture, but the court denied them this. I don't think this invalidates the whole model - they still can act as a middleman, maybe just be a bit more careful with especially shady suppliers.
What school was this? I would never send myself or a child to a school that exploited us like that.
Not everyone cares about regulations :-)

My country has (since fall of USSR) been one of the biggest used car markets in Europe, and as cars have added more and more electronics people have started figuring out how they work and developing tools to work around them.

I recently came across (randomly browsing) a device developed here that plugs into the OBD port and disables the AdBlue system (an extra fluid you need to fill up often, which reduces emissions on newer diesel engines, if you don't the vehicle refuses to start). The advertising was targeted at commercial vehicles. It's not illegal for the manufacturer to make, and if the driver of the truck is ever stopped by police they just pull it out. Nobody is any the wiser. But saving ~5% of the fuel costs definitely affects the bottom line of the company.
I hate subscriptions as much as the next guy, but I also see the flip side of this coin: the legacy auto companies don't have OTA updates, and this affects their incentives in negative ways.

I have considered getting a Subaru Outback, a Toyota RAV4, and a Honda CR-V. All of them have 'lane-centering' features, but none of them are good at present. And none of the companies say that they will allow OTA (or any other periodic) updates, even though presumably it would be possible to improve performance without upgrading the hardware.

Why do they do this? Because their business model is to keep selling/leasing new cars. They don't want you to have the newest tech on your older car.

If they had subscriptions for features like these, it would give them a different incentive, which could be good in some cases. It might still be bad on balance (like if they charged huge amounts for these features), but there could be some significant upsides.
Oddly enough, Jews are encouraged to do this! We were given brains for a reason and we were also given the frameworks for making decisions about the law as technology and society changes.

Many of the decisions also require deep knowledge into the subject matter (not just the Jewish law) in order to make a ruling. To allow electric switches one would need to know all the intricacies of both Jewish law and electricity before a valid ruling could be made.
Most phishing attacks originate on webmail accounts, which implement DMARC.
Also, Amazon purposely mixes catalogues and advertises their own stock together with third party goods, and there's no clear wall on the site between them. If you look hard enough, you can see which ones are third party, but for a casual buyer it's all the same space. It's like if I came to Walmart and random goods on the shelves were "third party" and Walmart tried to claim they have nothing to do with it, just renting out the shelf space. Probably wouldn't fly very well in court.

I felt noticeably sharper on keto, which at the time I felt like was primarily a lack of sleepiness and an increased ability to focus for necessary durations. Thats how it felt, would love to see non subjective data on this.
> Look at the European market: manual gears everywhere. Look at the UK, South African and Autraslian market: the car is inversed, with the wheel on the right.

These aren’t really great examples of marketing to a niche. Automatic transmissions cost more money, so manuals are more popular than they are in the US in every country that has less disposable income than the US. The primary reason it’s so easy to get a left hand drive car in Australia is because the UK and Japan drive on the left.

Farmers equipment is being bricked when they try to repair their multi-$100K machinery. It's the food we all eat that is at risk over some software update or a farmer had to perform necessary repairs by swapping a tractor's ECU.

Humans evolved colour vision to detect ripe fruit. Fruit has a, relatively, considerable amount of sugar. For such a substantial mutation, for which all of us share, it would seem counter-productive to evolve such a trait that harms us.
This wasn’t a surprise—VMware doesn’t have any other products that do x86 emulation, and it’s pretty clear that desktop virtualization (Fusion and Workstation) is not a high corporate priority. (Seriously, go to vmware.com and tell me if that looks like a company that sells desktop software).

Developing an x86 emulator with enough compatibility (and speed) to support all x86 software is not something VMware’s going to do for a side project. Especially since they still have to support Intel and ARM virtualization as well.
It sounds good, the other one is AROS based on the M68K Amigas: https://aros.sourceforge.io/ they have an Intel version and one that runs on M68K Amigas with a replacement Kickstart ROM that is 100% open source and free.

GP is maybe “technically” correct, but given that «chier» is a slang verb mostly used orally while passé simple is almost never used orally and never in casual context, which means that you'll never use that tense on this verb in practice. “He shat” will 99.99% of the time be translated to «il a chié» (passé composé).
Or maybe none of this mumbo jumbo does anything and you're all fools?
That depends whether you want Austrian digital cash or Keynesian digital cash.

> I personally don't think these sorts of strategies should exist from a perspective of principals (it encourages capital to copy, not innovative, and further punishes those who take on the real risks who are disproportionately awarded) but they do.

It’s not a binary choice between copy or innovate. Many successful clones made significant innovations atop a basic category defined by a less successful first mover.

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41430-020-00749-6 is about glycemic response, which I referred to as the second paper

Though it could be argued that both papers were trying to figure out why glucose = bad (the first, testing perceived sweetness, and the second, glycemic response)

I have really liked native-comp so far on Arch Linux. I think in the last year or so I have had total two hiccups only due to nativ-comp.
I'm unclear on what exactly you mean by nation states. That term usually implies a cohesive culture shared by the population, and as such is more normally applied to smaller ethnically homogenous nations (think Spain or Japan or South Korea) and not a large ethnically and racially diverse nation liked the US. In fact the US (with it's vastly different culture and racial makeup between say Hawaii and Nebraska and Georgia) is usually the prime example of a country that isn't a nation state.

I think what you're actually asking is if I feel that it is just to enforce immigration laws on people already in the country, and generally speaking no, I don't think deportation is a just punishment for trying to be a productive member of society but overstaying a visa or similar.
Have you heard of The Origin of Species by Charles Darwin?
Sure... oxygen is good for us but it becomes toxic if we get too much of it (like with anything). Perhaps if we were living more like rugged-style, svelte cavemen it would be okay to get a burst of sugar here and there (instead of every time we plop down on the couch or roll through a drive-through).

Please do read the sources. My background is math/CS, though I've done statistical work for life sciences. Evidence like the excess mortality requires zero medical knowledge though, just the ability to count deaths and compare that count year over year. Whatever the PCR test is doing, PCR-confirmed COVID deaths track reasonably well with excess deaths in regions hard enough hit for the excess deaths to be statistically distinguishable:

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2778361

In fact excess mortality usually exceeds COVID deaths, suggesting there are more false negative PCR tests (at least on dead/dying people) than false positive.

The vaccine is an entirely different topic. There's certainly a higher risk that the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine will have unforeseen long-term effects than for other, longer-studied vaccines; but there's also a higher risk that SARS-CoV-2 itself will have unforeseen long-term effects than for other, longer-studied diseases. I'm not elderly, but I've placed my bet on the vaccine.

I don't mean to be condescending. I'm just frustrated that I've spent considerable time explaining why I believe the PCR test for SARS-CoV-2 is almost always accurate, and received zero engagement with any of that. The evidence is there for anyone willing to invest the effort to understand it.
For items they have in stock, BestBuy is much faster than Amazon - you can even order curbside pickup where you just drive to the store and they give you the item without you even having to get out of the car. Of course, it depends on how far you are from closest BestBuy - I have one in 5 mins drive, so I can get my stuff within half an hour if I'm lucky. Of course, the choice is less than Amazon but for things that they do have I've found them very useful. I thought Amazon would drive them out of business but now I think they have their place and I hope they stay.

My impression was that was just a theory based on the assumption that fruit was worth evolving to eat. It could be a happy accidental source with calories; or it could have been a great source of calories that was the best option at the time, but is no longer.
