If your customers data is spread over thousands of microservices and you have no idea how it ended up there then maybe GDPR is not your bigest problem?

Pre Windows 10 they had way more control than they do with phones. Microsoft actually respected user intentions to some degree by comparison.
If I had to guess, I agree most people probably continue to earn high wages once at that level.

But I don't think it's a question of how often people decline high wages to take a lower paying job (although this obviously happens as well). It's whether they can continuously be offered high wages as their career continues.
AFAIK these are always firing 100+ rounds at every single target and only have ~1500 rounds in them, so that's not exactly a lot of targets.

And then there is the matter that a CIWS/C-RAM would need at least some kind of upgrade to be able to engage (small, slow) drones: https://www.quora.com/Why-cant-we-rely-on-the-Phalanx-CIWS-t...

The furnished apartments I looked at in Asia were pretty sparsely furnished. You still had to have your own bedding, towels, more kitchen stuff if you cook, not to mention your own clothes, papers, etc.

So yes, you can avoid moving furniture, but you still have “stuff”.

That threat's not exactly new and it's undoubtedly one of the reason that the US Navy is investing in directed energy weapons research - people mostly think of lasers, but the hugely powerful AESA radars on modern combat ships are also candidates.

EDIT: I couldn't easily find data on the AN/SPY-6 AESA radar that's going into the newest generation of ships, but the AN/SPY-1 PESA system from the prior generation has 6 MW peak power output.

If you agree to purchase $1500/mo from the power company for 12 months, and they’re going to bill you that no matter what, then losing $500/mo (and keeping BTC that’s likely to increase in value eventually) is preferable to shutting down and losing $1500/mo.
It is the case, but with natural immunity slowly building up it will probably become more like a normal cold that you get as soon as a few variants have been seen by the world's immune systems.

I assume it depends on the political implications of his news.
Part of the story is that doubling the size of the workforce does depress wages; and it does cause inflation on assets that do not see an increase in production with an increase in workforce size (such as land).

The other issue is that "women entering the workforce" is not really an accurate description of what is going on. Women have been entering the formal workforce. This means that family now need to pay for what was once done for free by the wife. The most significant expense here is childcare (the cost of which is often cited as a major barrier to women "entering" the workforce); however there are all sorts of little expenses that could be avoid at the cost of additional time, so not heaving an unpaid homemaker increases your living costs in a bunch of little ways.
I think I am the exact opposite of these people.

I've been working at home for the last 14 months and I realize that I love my home and reconnected with a lot of my stuff. I spent a few weeks cleaning out some closets and donated a lot of stuff to Goodwill.

Then I got a lot of plastic storage crates and reorganized stuff. It was great looking through and playing with my old childhood toys. I found my report cards from middle school and all my awards.

Someone else would say "Just get rid of it all!" but it really helped my mental health during the pandemic to be able to remember the great times before.
That is only theoretical.

Who knew such an admiral goal: "having women entering the workforce en mass" would have such a depressing result: "it is now much more difficult for a family to survive on one income"

What is the solution? Obviously, we would like to keep moving forward and allow anyone that is willing and able to do the job they want, but if anyone would like to be with their children, or take time off while a spouse works, that should also be able to be done.

The solution to me seems to forcing the gains in production and efficiency to the people. With what mechanism I am not sure, but a society that increases output while the lifestyle of average people decreases is not a successful society. Obviously, companies are not going to do this on their own, so I think this should be governments main role, to ensure companies act in the people's best interest and fill in the gaps where companies fail or are not efficient.

It seems to me the increases of efficiency should allow all people a minimum quality life(i.e. a place to live, something to eat, a doctor, education), no matter their contribution to society. I think this can turn people that are a strain on the system to contributors (and if not, we should still do it. What is the point of society, if not to take care of people and give them a better life?)

At least part of that is probably a function of how hard the work is on one’s body. A hard labor worker with a high income in 30s/40s is presumably more likely to lose that income in 50s/60s/70s than a non hard labor worker (e.g. office job).
There's some evidence that a second dose of mRNA vaccine isn't necessary if you were infected with Covid.

>People who have already had confirmed covid-19 might only need a single dose of a mRNA vaccine, two small studies have indicated.

Two weeks after a single dose of vaccine, people who had previously had covid-19 had antibody concentrations that were as high, or up to 10 times higher, than the levels seen in uninfected people who had received two doses of the vaccine.

Please don't post unrelated video, or show contempt for something before investigation. The link you posted came out on May 8, the radar footage was released on May 27. Your link does not refer to this radar footage, so it's not a debunking ;p ;) xx
Don't we also have many instances of people who have recovered and been reinfected months later? Some nurse friends said they had many coworkers who had been infected twice months apart with multiple negative tests between.

As a web developer, I, too, have had moments fixing a Safari bug that reminded me of dealing with IE in the past. But only passing moments, and I don’t blame Safari.

Supporting multiple browsers is a uniquely annoying aspect of web development, and almost every developer uses Chrome for development (I’m a Safari user and it’s kind of a running gag at work). This means that for most developers, Safari is the main browser they have to support that isn’t the one they use for development, which is a recipe for resentment.

Also, I bristle at this comparison a bit because Safari is wayyyyy better than IE ever was about adopting (and helping to draft) standards. They’re slower than the Chrome team and adopting new standards, but that’s because Alphabet and Apple’s business models are different, not because it’s an inherently good idea to adopt every new standard immediately (especially when many are focused on turning the web into a crappy replacement for native app platforms).

SCTP can also be run over DTLS over ICE over UDP. How many layers is that?!
So the director of one lab, hearing about COVID-19, apparently went "oh shit, that could have come from MY lab!" Later, she publicly announced that it's fine, it didn't come from her lab after all, then the lab was shut down, all records suppressed, and China has prevented any independent investigation.

Even if we take this at face value, and the denials were fully truthful, this tells us that:

1) it didn't leak in that form from that specific lab (of the several operating at the Virology Institute), assuming they had good record keeping. But it might have leaked from a different lab, or it might have leaked from her lab and then mutated prior to being discovered. (And, while it might seem unlikely that it mutated without any trace of intermediate forms being found, that's the exact assumption the zoonotic theory already requires...)

2) Someone in a position to know believed that a leak was plausible based on her knowledge of the types of research being performed, the quantities of material they had on hand, the safety protocols they were following, etc.

I suppose I just find that less reassuring than you do. :)
Holy volume warnings. My dog left the room.
The sunset pattern are... even less distinctive.

Aside from identicons (which I think work rather well), I believe that a large Mondrian style image with a random circle on it that is then rotated, and scaled to the appropriate size (and cropped if constrained to a rectangle).

This allows for an image that attempts to avoids problem with color vision.

The issue that I had with the Boring Avatars is that too many of them were the same. Switching to ring or sunset had many identical ones. The Bauhaus version had a limited pallet so that the same three colors occurred frequently and only distinctions were in orientations of objects which weren't that distinctive themselves.

The amount of uniqueness per image in this is rather low. The solid color and letter you mentioned has more easy to identify uniqueness.
This is ridiculous hyperbole. Most of the talent coming to the US are able to actually leverage their talent and live much more comfortable fulfilling lives here.

"And yet it's just as plausible that the moon landings, like this circumnavigation of Africa, could have simply been a momentary flex of a civilisation at the height of its powers, not to be repeated for thousands of years."

These seem predictably rare events to me. There are very fiew individuals that afford to engage in such endeavors and the odds of succeeding are acting both as deterrent and physical limiting factor to any attempt. The fact that happened is an exception. Not until the odds improve and a strong enough incentive changes things. The incentive for Moon landing has been political. Once achieved, it dissipated, and there isn't much sense for it to be repeated until a new motivating factor will appear.

Addition: Diolkos, considering the cost and efficiency of how it could have been operated and maintained back in the antiquity, was clearly an artifact that could work only for short distances, where the gains were significant enough to justify it, and there was little sense for it to be constructed on the scale that rails were later constructed.
This is not the first time substantial changes have been to crypto currencies (etherium or otherwise.) One recent change to bitcoin (I think the lightning network) was controversial enough to result in a fork (bitcoin cash.) There are mechanisms for this sort of thing.

US Understanding of the Pandemic Was Shaped by Messy Data

> Ellebedy’s team has observed early signs that Pfizer’s mRNA vaccine should trigger the production of the same cells. But the persistence of antibody production, whether elicited by vaccination or infection, does not ensure long-lasting immunity to COVID-19. The ability of some emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants to blunt the protective effects of antibodies means that additional immunizations may be needed to restore levels, says Ellebedy. “My presumption is we will need a booster.”

The idea seems to be that an infection is like a single dose of the vaccine, so you still need another shot for the best immunity.

Hi! I built Robolly together with my girlfriend during the past three months. She's a designer and likes pretty things. I'm a programmer with a tendency to automate all things. And so, building a graphic editor with API for creating customized images automatically was a great fit for our next project. You can use Robolly to personalize things like open graph, social media visuals, eCommerce banners, email images, vouchers, or just about anything that has a repeating design. I'm happy to answer your questions!

Doug’s a legit craftsman. His scratch builds are second to none. His video on phase inverters was also a game changer for me as a young builder.
Let's assume your mining rig costs $1 to run, generates 1 FAKECOIN with a current value of $.90. That first month you pay $0.10 out of pocket for 1 FAKECOIN. If you had just purchased 1 FAKECOIN, it would have cost you $1. 10x the cost. Like a startup, this is not sustainable without external factors changing. "Just buy it directly" requires a separate income.

The confidence you possess in your ability to read people's minds is likely unfounded since I've never met any human being who can successfully read others minds.
My bets would be that this is some classify project to test supersonic drones against US detection capabilities. Maybe some kind of hypersonic glide vehicle (HGV) like the Russia Avangard [1] missile. Hopefully this is the US themself and not Russia/China testing their HGV.

Edit: DARPA tesed HGV in 2010 with the Falcon HTV-2 [2], so 11 years ago, imagine what they are up to now. If you look to this launching footage [3] in infrared, when the gliding vehicle is released, it looks like a ball. The UFO video may have inverted infrared. Also, the fact that those gliding vehicles don't need propulsion and are highly maneuverable (compared to conventional aircraft) and that it ends with a crash in the water make it very likely that this is a HGV.

Edit 2: The DARPA hypersonic program is still in progress in 2021, they even double the spending [4]. And there is some info for 2020 with a program called "HSW-ab" which is highly classified [5].

> IMHO, the decision of whether to show auto-complete should be with the user and not with the website

It;s fundamentally wrong to decide what 'rights' website users have (aside from when it comes to privacy).

There are myriad ways how a website can become un-user friendly to the point of being unusable not the least is of which you can completely disable the cursor or completely not display certain parts which are really there (e.g. display: none).

Point being there is a fundamental 'trust' which a user gives to a website developer, that the website they visit will behave as 'the developer' intended. The user even expects to get the site just s the developer created it, however 'bad' that may be.

Now of course it is in the interest of the web developer to make their site user-friendly if they want to appeal to a wide populace. But it is totally in the purview of the developer to make the site even completely unusable.

I don't understand how a browser has the audacity to force their assumptions on site behavior on the user/developer.
