That is definitely not true. As a privacy-conscious Internet user, who hangs out in privacy-conscious communities, i can assure you having a fully pseudonymous identity on the Internet is harder now than it was 10y ago because of such policies, and it's definitely IMPOSSIBLE to open a google/facebook/twitter account without at least a phone number.

Such policies have definitely not cut back on spam (at least not according to my definition of spam), but have prevented countless legit users like me from taking part in such networks. Retrospectively it's a good thing that these networks don't want people like me, we're doing much better elsewhere.

I propose you a challenge: if you can view age-restricted videos on Youtube and create a Facebook group without giving your ID, credit card, address, phone number or IP address... i'll send you a cupcake over mail? :P

Good timing, I'm in the process of looking to migrate my emails. Currently on O365 for 3 of us, but as we now all get Office products via work, I can't justify paying ~£30 a month.

Looking at our usage, the biggest account is 3.7GB, and in the last 180 days the most emails sent was 12 in one day, and the most received was 158 - so micro looks like a fit.

The pricing looks pretty spot on for what we need, and the features seem good, so I've set up a 14day trial with just my email to see how it goes.

I guess the only thing is calendar and contact sync, (I tried to get the calendar to work, but keeps saying it does not exist /shrug)

Any recommendations for a calendar/contact provider?
I use macs but don't use iphones/ipads and instead prefer Android. In general, I don't really use a lot of the services and apps that come with macs. I don't use iCloud. I don't use iMail. I don't use Safari. I don't use Facetime. I don't use keynote, pages, iMovie, Garageband, etc. So, like with most OS X / Mac OS releases of the last half decade, there's actually very little (if anything) I can point at that actually genuinely is an improvement for me.

The base OS has mostly gotten worse actually. It's gotten a lot more anal about requiring signed binaries and micromanaging permissions. Dropping 32 bit means my steam library is now full of stuff that no longer works. OpenGL support is a deprecated afterthought meaning that a lot of OSS stuff either won't work or barely works. I recently updated my macbook pro but aside from some minor icon rearranging in the menu bar, I can't really tell the difference with last year's edition. Most of this review is about applications that Apple bundles with the OS that compete with third party stuff that I use and prefer. Couldn't care less about any of that. But I appreciate that it's nice for people buying into the whole Apple everything experience.

The reason I use macs is mainly because it's nice hardware with a unix like OS. Most of the tools I use are open source. I user Firefox for browsing, homebrew, docker, Intellij, VS Code, Darktable for photos, etc. I could easily switch to Linux or Windows and use the same tools. But macs are convenient. For now. It seems MS is much more on top of making Windows developer friendly than Apple is currently. It wouldn't be hard to do for Apple but for some reason they are not interested in that anymore.
Not my idea and it's not too late to change it IMHO. We use the word "free" for services that extrapolate and sell data. These services are not "free", this small thing IMHO drives the data broker industry to a big extend.

What does "user" mean with tutanota? If I want multiple custom domains, I need to go with the business account, which has a 1 GB storage limit and a 5 aliases limit.

Because then it is not close to a viable alternative to migadu.

> ... For three deaths prevented by vaccination we have to accept two inflicted by vaccination. Conclusions: This lack of clear benefit should cause governments to rethink their vaccination policy.

I have three problems with this statement:

(a) I always thought COVID anti-measures including vaccinations are not about death rates but mainly about the "flattening the curve" and protecting our health systems from collapsing, which would result in many more deaths.

(b) Deaths vs. "inflicted": How is this a good comparison? The consequence of death is clear, what does inflicted mean here?

(c) Deaths vs. "inflicted": Are those who barely survived or who have long COVID not inflicted? What's the ratio then?

Last but not least: It is always easy to say this is bad without giving an alternative solution. What's the alternative to vaccinations? Having COVID spread without controlling it? Or having masks and contact reductions forever?
So my wife and I placed some lavender and other pollinators at the mailbox at our house. Fortunately it has grown well and now when I grab the mail every day there has to be around 20 bumble bees going around doing their thing. It’s cool to see. We have a garden but also try and plant pollinators and other types of plants too just to try and recreate a little bit of an ecosystem.
Oh wow.

Nobody said that the journal should not have published because it is not interesting. You should instead focus on the given argument of "scientific standards" and the Scientific Method, the implicit rule-set of science (to be fair, you can question that too, but you didn't).

A Journal uses peer review to avoid publishing things that do not conform to a certain base level of scientific standard, e.g. comparing the wrong numbers/things, or ignoring causation vs. correlation, drawing the wrong conclusions, etc. A peer is supposed to flag such things and remind the authors of the flaws.
> Then again, too many idiots think proof means "The CCP notoriously likes to hide stuff, therefore they're hiding the lab leak, therefore the lab leak theory is real, QED". That sort of disinformation does deserve a ban.

"The CCP notoriously likes to hide stuff, which makes it more likely that they're hiding the lab leak, which makes it more likely that the lab leak theory is true" isn't that far off but seems much more reasonable.

Should we ban people for making strawman arguments, or should we steelman their argument in response?

No, this is not true in general. There are several different ways to count the number of covid deaths, and "had covid, later died" was simply one that was often used at the start of the pandemic of efficiency reasons.

Good investigators have always been aware of the limitations inherent in the assumption, but initially other measures based on the official death certificates were simply not available (and in any case have their own complications when interpreting), so people used what was available and cautioned about the limitations the first four times they said anything.
>Installing

Well, yes, something's getting installed in the physical sense (so not quite entirely clickbait).

Wouldn't it be great to have a relatively routine way of repurposing old laptops, which often have very good traits, by using them as terminals for a replaceable on-board compute module (through VNC or what have you)? For instance, an enclosure that fits in the space occupied by the optical drive or Ultrabay, and uses the existing interface for its connection. What would be needed to be created and disseminated is a design for the enclosure (and maybe someone to make them) and software for the client.
Migadu has unlimited domains and unlimited mailboxes per domain even on the smalles plan for 19 bucks. I don't see how 9.99 EUR PER mailbox is an alternative to that.

I disagree. Spanish Conquistadors were some of the greatest and most experienced warriors in all of history, and were trained veterans of the reconquest of Spain from the Moors. Why people want to discount the fact that obsidian shatters on steel, Spanish had shock cavalry, dogs, and just the thought of hearing and seeing a gun go off for the first time is wild. Disease catalyzed things for sure, and is definitely one of the biggest factors in the speed in which the conquest of the Americas happned, but to entirely discount The Spanish Empires elite warriors seems like a revisionist cope, because you want to demonize colonizers.

"Definitely not good, but hardly worthy of a proper scandal."

I do not judge her hard for that, but I am definitely interested in her reaction.

The position of a German federal chancellor is a "high friction" one. Whoever gets elected will be drawn into power games with Putin, Biden and Xi. This requires certain toughness and willingness to fight back smartly. I am not sure yet whether Baerbock has it; her experience with high-level political positions is very limited.

Mudras connect meridians together to rechannel how bioelectric energy (chi/prana) flows through your body. It's like connecting wires on a circuit board, and only has any real effect if you actually have a reasonable amount of chi flowing round your body.

Mudras are supposed to have some kind of effect on your mind (although I haven't experienced much of that), but I've certainly felt urges to e.g. connect the tips of my fingers/thumbs together (as in the classic Buddhist 'palms up' meditation mudra), or touch the tip of my tongue to the roof of my mouth ("Khechari mudra" in kriya yoga) while meditating.

Some yogis (ahem) even go so far as to cut the thin bit of skin that connects the tongue to floor of the mouth so that it can be pushed up inside the nasal cavity, behind the soft palette to directly touch the bones between the nostrils. The urge to do this can be great, and apparently can lead to feelings of ecstatic bliss. I feel the urge, but alas, my tongue can't quite hit the spot yet :(

But even just touching the tongue to the roof of the soft palette can let you feel a strong increase in tingles entering the centre of the head.

So as with much of religion, any sort of communication/symbolism related to mudras come later, and are probably created by people unaware of their biological origins.

This is much like what we expect as white supremacist ideology fades and people have more freedom in their choice of whom to marry and have/raise children with.

As the article points out:

> As younger generations representing all racial and ethnic backgrounds come to grow and interact with each other, sharp racial lines between white, Latino or Hispanic, Black, Asian American, and other groups should begin to dissipate, at least from a demographic perspective. Already in 2015, nearly one in six new marriages were mixed race—a factor that will lead to even larger numbers of people who identify with more than one racial and cultural origin.

The concept of "race" is artificial.

Look at footnote 2, where “white population” pertain to white persons who do not also identify as Latino or Hispanic or other race and ethnic groups.".

No one identifying as bi-racial or multi-racial is classified as white.

Remember, it wasn't until the 1960s that Loving v. Virginia ended all race-based legal restrictions on marriage in the United States. Before then, anti-miscegenation laws in 17 states re-enforced social prejudices against mixed-race marriages. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-miscegenation_laws_in_the... reports "A 1958 Gallup poll showed that 94% of white Americans disapproved of interracial marriage.")

On the other hand, if racist restrictions preventing mixed-race couples from marrying are no longer in place, then of course we expect there to be fewer people who only have white ancestry.

Not much FF can do directly AFAIK, since it has to do with the hardware decoding the drivers support.

I've used an addon for a while which fixed it by forcing YouTube to serve h264 rather than vp9 content, as hardware accelerated decoding of h264 worked but not vp9. But lately it hasn't worked well. Haven't investigated if it was due to newer content only being vp9 or if the addon stopped working.
Please have a look at your argumentation:

- "I don't think this is true"
- "And AFAIK most countries do actually [...]"
- "In other words, this is a common myth [...]"

You present your thoughts, a theoretical anecdote and things you might have read. And based on that you conclude that it is a "common myth"?
Fouling can be dramatically reduced by putting a small electrical current through the saltwater, freeing Chlorine ions which quickly kill biological things before they can adhere to your membrane.

That combined with reverse flow flushing will probably last many years. And it can all be controlled by a 10 cent microcontroller, one pump, one valve, and a pressure sensor.

I don't doubt that high pressure pumps are bad... but that's just a design issue - there is nothing theoretically expensive about them.

No need to reach as far as Central Asia. My country (Poland) has a healthy influx of used German cars from German brands.

It's likely to get smaller with time though, because e.g. diesel cars manufactured during and after the VW emissions scandal turn out to be expensive to repair once key components like injectors fail.

There's a whole market of refurbished injectors, flywheels etc., but buying such parts comes with a risk.

Also VAG products declined in quality in the recent years.

Anecdata: my father's 2018 Skoda CitiGo failed its emissions test because of a failed EGR valve - turns out it's a common problem - even in fairly new cars.

I also use Mac as a glorified unix OS with an WiFi that works, printing that works, laptop sleep and awake that works, and UI that works across external monitors with various DPI settings seamlessly.

I know many of the aforementioned issues have been fixed (to some extent) for linux. I'd be willing to give the Linux desktop another try but:

1. I really love my LG 5k external monitor. It's still hard to find hardware for linux that can drive it (especially laptops)

2. I got used to how fonts are rendered on macos

3. Keyboard shortcuts systematically different (CMD/meta vs Ctrl) make it harder to occasionally switch between the two systems. I know it sounds silly. But it's hard to remap those modifiers in a way that keeps everything else working the same.
One theory is that loud buzzing-like noises can drown out their ability to communicate. So some of their communications are through pheromones but they also use a buzzing dance to communicate nectar locations. So the theory is that things like lawnmowers and weed eaters make it so they can't communicate and that makes them defensive. This is usually due to the volume and had to be close to the hive. It's possible the higher pitch of the drone more closely aligns with their buzzing and doesn't need to be as loud to be disruptive.

"For near-term time horizons, we think it's actually the best choice because it matches cumulative emissions. What happened over the last 15 years has been about exactly right compared to what was projected by RCP 8.5." That holds especially true for medium-term planning through 2050.

McDonald’s very deliberately structured its workforce to be lower-skill and replaceable, even though it would be less expensive for them to hire skilled employees like short-order cooks. They did this very deliberately in order to make the company more resistant to labor organization efforts. When people say that McDonald’s jobs are low-status and replaceable, they’re reflecting the correct perception that these jobs were engineered to be low-status and replaceable. No amount of admonishing people is going to make humans admire a profession (the profession, not the people) that was designed this way.

How is that different from nation-states? It's an accident of history that some Karelians became Finns while others didn't. It's an accident that Finns and Estonians exist as separate nations. It's an accident that Savonians and Tavastians became Finns but Kvens and Tornedalians didn't. It's an accident that Izhorians, Livonians, Votes, Ludians, and Vepsians were assimilated by non-Finnic peoples. It's an accident that Finns exist as a nation instead of becoming Swedes or Russians.

Administrative borders shape how national identities evolve and endure. And when long-distance communication and travel became easier in the 1800s, administrative borders shaped the new wider national identities.
