The country of the Play store is not actually the same than the one this article is about.

I could find a way to change it and have the local store when I moved to Japan, but honestly I don't remember exactly how.

I only remember that it was a major pain in the ass to understand how to do it. I had to navigate between different applications (notably Google pay) and web interfaces to finally be able to change this setting. Worst UX ever.
The biggest issues for treatment of covid has been:
1. Ignoring frontline doctors
2. Social media becoming the arbiter of truth.
The above have been devastating to countries. For example, India had figured out that Ivermectin was effective last year in august itself and recommending it to everyone as it was easily available. All my friends who took ivermectin had very mild covid. I had prolonged covid and I suspect it was because I was not given Ivermectin.

During the 2nd wave in May, WHO Chief Scientist Soumya Swaminathan tweeted out against Ivermectin. Some states followed her advise (based on a tweet!) and discontinued it resulting in 10x more deaths.

WHO, sadly, has been wrong about everything in this pandemic. I don’t trust them anymore.
That's a nice idea but it tends to fall flat when you can't actually construct an explicit function exhibiting the homomorphism in question (which does happen from time to time). A lot of equivalences in areas like group theory only hold classically.
Ok, maybe that’s true for apps, but what about content? By his reasoning it should be fine to let other content stores (books/music/movies/etc) stand on equal footing with iTunes?

Thanks for the lengthy reply.

As you can see, you are making a lot of shaky assumptions about physics of the process. That's good, you can't tackle it! The problem is, video is not a proof, you can find a lot of videos of "free" energy generation that are fake. Idiots created a situation where nobody believes this. It's not a violation of conservation of energy, it's a crack in physics understanding itself. I have not seen anybody experimenting with forcing physics "collapse" itself. I'm probably the first one to do it. You can't find a better system than these simple loudspeakers to try oppose physics to physics.

This is a very real issue and has concerned me for years. I'm an environmental studies major and water is something I think we don't take seriously enough.

But when I was homeless in California for nearly six years, it was during drought years for the first five. Towards the end of that, I recall similar photos going around of empty lakes and boats and dick's sitting in the mud or on dry lakes bottoms.

Then the drought broke and the last year I was on the street was much wetter. These were deadly storms with record rainfall causing much flooding.

I borrowed money and spent three nights in the cheapest dive I could find, not knowing how I would eat for the rest of the month but certain that being out in the storm would cost more and have devastating consequences.

The lakes and reservoirs filled back up. Years worth of deficits were remedied in relatively short order.

I do wish we would take water issues much more seriously. But I also wish we would remember that variation in rainfall is normal and reservoirs exist because of that and it's normal for them to rise and fall.

If you are interested, Salt Dreams is an excellent read about water issues in the American Southwest and Southern California especially. Fresno County has an excellent track record of raising its water table in some years and a lot of water rights law and canal building tech was developed in that county hundred or more years ago.

This book about the history of Fresno water development was an excellent read (at least if you are a hydrology nerd, I guess) and I highly recommend it:

As a recent small business starter, the most valuable thing to me would have been a complete, authoritative checklist of all the steps needed. All the licenses, registrations, etc, and dependencies between them. Sure, it will need a bit of customization for each business (need food service license?), but if it's still ambiguous after that, fix the law so it's not ambiguous.

I generally think it's a human rights violation that law is so impenetrable to the people who are supposed to follow it, but it's especially obvious in this case that murkiness helps literally no one.

I took down all cellular data traffic in Philadelphia for 2 hours.

I wrote the operating procedures for performing a backhaul upgrade in preparation for the launch of LTE. The upgrade was being performed on our primary routers which all traffic traversed. The operation had been performed several times successfully, but after the last implementation before the issue, I was informed that a couple of the lines were wrong (they had extra arguments). I did a find and replace all, shot the document off to the next team, and went about my day. The technician who was doing the upgrade called me on the afternoon of the upgrade (it was a Sunday) and asked if any of the initial steps were disruptive as he wanted to get started on the prep work ahead of the maintenance window. I said no and he proceeded. Mind you, this was also during the World Cup so I was out at a bar with my friends and not paying attention to my phone. About two hours later I looked at my phone and had multiple missed calls and voicemails from him, so I immediately ran to the MTSO. Turns out my find and replace changed some commands - the end result was that instead of adding additional VLANs to in-use interfaces, it replaced all of them with the new ones, which weren't carrying any traffic.

The fix was simple, we had failover routers and at some point after he couldn't get in touch with me the technician reached out to one of my peers who quickly told him to failover. He should have known to do that but he was also panicking. I called my boss and told him what happened and that it was my fault (and I genuinely believed it was. I wrote the bad procedure AND I approved activities outside of the maintenance window), and he told me to be at the office with the technician first thing in the morning the next day.

I couldn't sleep that night, this was early on in my career and I thought it was over. But that meeting ended up being one of the most transformative moments of my career. My boss's boss, a director, quoted the FAA's ethos of how a good system should have checks and balances, and if a mistake happens, the system is at fault, not any individual. We walked through the play by play and identified multiple opportunities to both avoid the issue that arose and to resolve the issue more quickly. We came up with an action plan as to how to make sure our "system" was more mistake proof for next time, and that was that.

That meeting has always stuck with me, and I always remind myself of that conversation whenever things at work don't go as planned. There is almost always something in the system that can be improved to account for human error, which should be expected.

This person has no idea what they are talking about. WWAN cards have been in laptops for 25 years. 2-in-1s have been around for about 20. Every "trend" here is decades old.

Beyond that the tracking indicators are also nonsense. People buy new cell phones. But for maybe 10 or so years, they've been buying more and more used laptops because it has mattered less and less. This means the comparison isn't the same.

Also it's always been a family computer more than a personal computer. Every person will have a cell phone that gets damaged and must be replaced every few years but many people have just 1 laptop per household which lasts basically until it can no longer be operated.

Also these things really aren't merging. For instance, the builtin cameras on laptops are still pretty terrible and other interesting things like the screen on the back of the cell phone for notifications (many implementations are around) don't have equivalencies in the laptop world. And what about a rear facing camera on a laptop, know of any? Why not, I thought they were merging!

As far as applications, there's really far-from-working things like anbox https://anbox.io/ but it's still mostly a pipedream. Have laptops ship with ARM daughter boards with android installed and have a seamless bridge for integrating applications between the desktop and daughterboard as a typical technology then I'll start to agree with this analysis.

Have transportability of a running application from the mobile device to the laptop so I can swap the device I'm using to interface it and have the interface change in a way that affords each device (as in touch versus keyboard centric), all without losing application state, then I'll agree.

Currently these are ridiculous fantasies. They shouldn't be. But they are.

The only merging that exists is because they share tech, but that's obvious, they're both portable computers. Yes, they both have the same storage and battery tech, no kidding. So what?
> The gaming market has grown incredibly competitive, and statistically speaking the steam store has the most garbage out of all the stores combined x100.

That's a good thing though. Steam greenlight was a really good idea, and now you have all kinds of games on Steam, which is really good. I haven't tried Epic but I remember Origin being dogshit compared to Steam. Maybe if all those stores are so terrible it's because it's actually a hard problem and not something trivial that anyone can do better?

Steam have most of the games, better practices than most people (no exclusives like Epic, which is a bad practice in my opinion), they've done many things for Linux gaming (automatically using Proton is really great and works well for most games), they also often have really good sales. Steam is here to stay.
> mentioned HCQ he turned the whole thing political.

Trump first mentioned it as a possibility and investigation and that he was taking it after consulting with his doctor. That's it. The media made you think otherwise.

Telling the public what drugs he's on is fine.. shouldn't we know what drugs POTUS is taking?

And the people who politicized it were medical journals who published fake studies with no data or vetting. Otherwise the comments would have passed on like every other trivial statement made by politicians. I mean Trump's statements may have been unwise or not backed by a double blind studies that doesn't make them untrue, not does it make them inherently political.

The immediate condemnation that HCQ was not only ineffective but harmful was based on data that does not exist. It was fake.

The only ones politicizing are the ones telling lies.

If you have genuine disagreements with trump, one ought to make them by issuing truths not made up fake studies.

On the other hand, many of my hot takes over the years have been celebrated, but it seems to happen when they are long and dense (and not personal attacks). Perhaps it is because fewer people read/flag them. Perhaps it is because this community values eloquence (or effort) over substance.

Add to that the built-in handicap because this community (like every other) values in-group opinions much more than out-group opinions, and it doesn’t make sense to even try better/longer arguments. I’m going to stop participating in controversy on this site, and move the infowar project over to audio chatrooms, where a conversation like this actually has a chance.

To everyone else: Arguing controversial topics with strangers, in Reddit-style text threads, is primitive and ineffective. The technology is insufficient for the task, and it will never get better.

"candy and soda inside"

I'd estimate that only a small proportion of stations in NJ are attached to any convenience stores that sell things. On highways, yes. Off of highways around towns, they're often attached to a mechanic's garage, and the only things sold beside gas is windshield fluid and a spare quart of oil.

It's notable that NJ and Oregon both have cheap gas relative to many other parts of the country due to close proximity with oil refining &/or transportation infrastructure, which means lower costs to get it to the gas stations.

Although in NJ that discount is slowly going away as the state gradually ratchets up tax on gas purchases. Without that tax they would have by far the cheapest in the country by roughly 16% or $.50/gallon. Now NJ is only cheaper than most when there's a spike in oil prices stemming more from transportation costs, or at least that's what I've observed.
If you are working in a shop that considers EventBus a best practice, my advice to you is to level up your peers if you can, or investigate and advocate for new and better architectural tools like coroutines if you cannot.

I expect that you will not be able to successfully make the case to migrate off of EventBus, because it will be difficult to restore the dependency tree and extricate it from the codebase.

It's not quite as amazing as it sounds because AZ households could still cut domestic usage to become comparable to neighboring states like NM. Regardless, we shouldn't focus exclusively or primarily on households because they simply don't use enough to matter compared to agricultural usage and they're way harder to manage policy-wise.

> What if SARS-CoV2 leaked from a lab? What if there are long-term effects of mRNA vaccines? What if Ivermectin is a safe and effective prophylaxis against, and treatment for, COVID-19?

So having all three of these things together is a bit of a red flag. But I'd say the distinction is, you can't just make something up and say "what if?"

I used to see this a lot with "electromagnetic fields cause x" type stuff. It doesn't get you a credible position in the discussion IMO to just say imagine that something could happen without posing a credible* mechanism for it.

*credible may be in the eye of the beholder a bit, but a first principles mechanism based on established science is a start. Citing a study that just shows a statistical relationship, unless it's unequivocal and readily repeated (e.g. harms of smoking) does not really count if you can't explain why something happens.
I grew up going on opal fossicking holidays as a kid - Coober Pedy, Mintabie, White Cliffs, Lightning Ridge, etc. We'd camp somewhere and then spend the days digging around getting filthy and finding opal, which was great fun. My maternal uncle was an opal dealer at one point in life and both he and my paternal grandfather had opal cutting/polishing setups in their sheds at some point. My dad did a work placement up there for a few months, renting an underground place.

Beside the curiosity of underground living, Coober Pedy is a grim place. Hot, dry, dirty. You couldn't pay me to live there. There's a lot of cheap accommodation on real estate sites as a result.

I passed through last year on an outback trip, and stopped there for my kids to dig around. Way back, there were countless places you could "go noodling" (fossicking) but best bet last time seemed to be Jewellers Shop Road: https://goo.gl/maps/3thJiKfzY1YQaxkY6 It's picked pretty clean, but we found a few chips (small pieces) with colour (as opposed to less valuable forms like "potch") - you just have to be patient and have fairly focused kids!

Not sure how active the surrounding area is these days. Mostly seems to be idle blowers (vac-based machines that bring material up from shafts) and mullock heaps. I think the heavy action has progressively moved up to other opal fields a few miles out of town.

The story I always liked was about opal showing up under UV lighting. They'd rip up material from shafts with blowers and pass it along a conveyor belt for pickers to watch with UV lights and grab at opal as it went by. Only issue was that scorpions also glowed... You can see prospectors talking about using this method here: https://www.prospectingaustralia.com.au/forum/viewtopic.php?...

Probably my favourite memory was a place called Grasshopper in Mintabie. The operators would blast in an open cut mine with dynamite, and then huge grading machines would drag the leftover scraps up to an area they let the public pick over looking for smaller pieces of opal. We were like birds showing up on a lawn after it's been mown.

Another spot was Concrete/Cement Hill. My little brother (5yo at the time?) had become bored finding nothing and decided to make a cave house for a caterpillar he'd found. While the rest of us toiled with heavy tools, he mucked around with this bloody caterpillar, and found two pieces of opal worth $500-1000 in the process...
I am quite confident that the developers of lean consider it a feature (or at least, not a bug). Though I'm also not sure why they are building on a complex metatheory like CiC if they are willing to accept undecidable typechecking since you can simplify a lot of things if you give that up.
The problem with spectre/meltdown is they don't use standard calls to ask for memory of other processes... that is the vulnerability.

If you were do to do per process mitigation it would need to prevent certain process execution flows from happening, because the vulnerability is a problem with the CPU pulling memory from the way speculative execution works. This actually impacts things that are typically protected and is much more impactful than people think... for example, because the bug allows reading from nearly any memory address space, you could also pull in things like crypto keys from the OS or passwords from memory.
I can't believe I just read the entire thing from start to finish.
