- It seems the debate is about 0.8°C temperature rise since 1880. The figure of 0.8°C in my opinion is not statistically significant for various reasons including thermometer inaccuracies, and normal variations of temperature. There seems to be a general agreement of increase in CO2. It appears that the most significant greenhouse ‘gas’ is water vapor, about 98%. I got these figures from a talk by a noble prize winner, who got around to checking the published figures.

- Statistics can be variously interpreted unless there is a huge significant differences. The 'significant' part is completely subjective.

- Media and govt need to keep the masses engaged on distractions with the news. If govt/people were truly serious about climate (or what ever is the correct terminology) change. They would be making radical changes not tiny changes. Example of a big change work places can be moved to places where people can walk to work. example of tiny feel good change that does nothing: separate recycle form other trash.

- Changing narrative from govt, in the 60s it was global cooling, which changed to global warming, and is now labeled as climate change. Notice that most people who take up these 'causes' are young. They have no any knowledge of what the narrative was in the 60s.

- In addition to manipulating numbers, all numbers can be cooked up with impunity, this is true for corporates, scientific establishments, govts. Barring exceptions there are enough incentives to lie, and generally disincentives if one were to tell the truth.

Note I'm not claiming that there is no climate change, there is not way for me or you to know that. I do know for a fact that the environment is indeed messed up big time. The smell/taste of air/food/water/products is telling. I don't think this is debatable. The environment should be first priority and perhaps the climate change will take of itself.
I think we all have personal preferences; for example:

If I watched a movie and gave it a thumbs down, don't recommend it

I sometimes click thumbs down by accident, or upon rewatching change my opinion.

If I watched a movie < 1 month ago, don't recommend it

I like to rewatch movies, sometimes more than once in a month.

If I browsed over a movie 50 times, read the info, and still didn't play it, stop recommending it.

I have a terrible habit of browsing Netflix and watching trailers right before falling asleep, and I'm sure I've done this to the same titles over and over again.

If I watched the last episode, remove the "new episodes" banner.

I'm not in front of Netflix right now; what happens if new episodes are added while you're watching the series?
> Lots of people would like to choose "caring" work. Teaching, healthcare, policy stuff, knowledge stuff, etc. Something meaningful and rewarding.
> With rising inequity, only people who can afford higher education, who don't have to work to eat, can choose these "caring" career paths.
> Some fraction of the resentment towards the "liberal elite" is from being denied access to these "caring" roles. Made worse by the obliviousness of people like me not even realizing there's a problem.

Is there really a phenomenon of people angry to the point of causing social instability because they have to work in a bank rather than teaching calculus in high school?
Same question regarding other neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's.

It could be revolutionary if they make a difference.

Unfortunately, I haven't heard of any studies of this except for a study in to microdosing LSD as a potential treatment for Alzheimer's.[1][2]

This is a wide open area, and I hope some patients' advocacy groups start seriously funding research in to this and demanding that governments remove the many regulatory hurdles that still stand in the way.

I don't believe that's the case. Just listened to Craig Federighi on Jon Gruber's podcast say that the intent is that the relay is regionalized. Your IP will be anonymized, but it will at least correspond to the general location you are in. Possibly this was just a bug in the beta?
I think it is still there, even in Edge on Chromium. But still Chrome dropped the hidden support a while ago.
I'm more bemused as why it picked a US server in the first place, as the options panel screenshot suggests it should be presevering the rough location (i.e. pick Belgium or France or somewhere european).

Is private relay still in Beta? That might explain it if the serve side component only got deployed in one or two of Apple's US datacentres.
about time, plenty more of these to come.

downvoters:

tsb, natwest, barclays and more banks are blocking these exchanges with illicit activity. this is a good thing.

I am being proven right no matter if you downvote or flag.

say no more.
I can say from personal experience, this is absolute not the case. When everyone is using a service you aren't using, you get left out and you're less able to make friends in the first place.

Even if you do manage to make friends, a lot of people won't remember you're the only person they know who isn't able to see the facebook event everyone else is invited to.
Also prevents the stomach pains of digesting lots of dry fibrous mushrooms. For the same reason, the experience with 4-HO-DMT can be shorter/quicker than with mushrooms but not by much.

Oh, I fully agree with what you say. But they omit the essential function of a library. That seems to say they need not really be libraries at all.
>The Times has learnt that TSB is preparing to block its customers from sending money to trading sites such as Binance and Kraken because it believes scammers are being allowed to set up e-wallets and steal people’s money because of weak security checks.

But western union, wire transfers, and itunes gift cards are totally fine right?
> In Great Britain at least the Prime Minister frequently meets with other heads of state, e.g., Churchill meeting with Roosevelt.

The exception here is that the US President is both head of state and head of government, so Churchill meeting Roosevelt is actually a meeting between two heads of government.
Didn’t right wing extremists seize the legitimate American government while it was in session a few months back?
The belief being discussed here isn't referring to spiritual belief. Even then, agnosticism is more diametrically opposed to belief than atheism; the latter is belief in one's own disbelief. I do not have anything against these theistic unbelievers, as most of my connections and I myself are fairly secular.
Canadian telecom is a racket.

When Wind was around, the Egyptian billionaire owner gave an interview saying that if he could take his entire investment out of Canada at a 10% haircut he would do it in an instant. Wind operates in 170 countries. He compared Canada to China and North Korea.

More here if you're bored. I would also say to Americans looking to move to Canada in light of... recent events, be prepared to be frustrated with the lack of choice in banks, telecom, grocery chains, and doctors.

According to Wikipedia:

* The speaker of parliament is responsible for nominating and dismissing the prime minister (who appoints the prime minister? the parliament as a whole appoint the prime minister? does the king get to, but is compelled to appoint whoever the speaker nominates? does wikipedia mean "appoint" when it says "nominate"?)

* The king is not part of parliament, and bills do not need royal assent to become law.

* The king is not part of an executive council like the UK privy council. Formerly there was a Council of State.

However the king does have royal immunity from criminal prosecution. If the Swedish King killed you, they would probably have a crisis over whether the absolute immunity the king possesses is in fact not absolute.

So the king is clearly a special person in Sweden, but it does seem they are almost powerless according to the constitution, unlike say the British queen.
How Notion could become the ultimate writing platform
That's roundabout and not compelling to a user. They have no idea what is gathered, how it's used, or any idea if their issues will be solved or when. It's like buying lottery tickets with payoff in bug fixes, except you don't know what they cost. Bad deal. The software house always wins.
When we were looking for our first house we got a flyer about a service that would help us choose the best location that fit with our "lifestyle and personal" preferences. Once of those was to look at which neighborhoods were liberal and which were conservative, and give us an idea of the kind of neighbors we would have. Quite useful, though we never used the service, as granular data continues to be collected and stored I wonder if we'll see people more and more choosing neighborhoods based on the quality of their neighbors.

Is assassinating a president really a sign of a "failed state"? USA has had multiple presidents assassinated. And countless other attempts.
The funny thing is that the M1 has an undocumented but totally used feature called Guarded Execution[0] that lets you separate parts of the kernel (or hypervisor, if you're in EL2) from one another. Basically, on the M1 each Exception Level now has a regular and a guarded sublevel, with their own page table permissions, and special instructions to enter or exit the guarded execution within the same EL.

macOS on the M1 uses this to prohibit most kernel code from touching pagetables. You have to do that from within the guarded sublevel, which kernel extensions can only call into.

This is more or less the original intent of x86 rings: to separate an OS kernel out into parts with different permissions and levels of isolation.

Exactly this is the intention!
Scammers? Binance itself automatically locked my account due to a software glitch. No notice and severely lacking in customer service. It took 2+ weeks for a human to respond and escalate the issue. They have very low trading fees but surprisingly the withdraw fees are rather high. The best platform as far as I’m concerned but I’m not sure how can I go back now.
But they were meeting about military matters which is a responsibility attributed to head of state according to OP.
Myself started from counting to 100 on breathing, then advanced to silence. Guided meditation is quite different, from my experiences. Not the op.
By your definition of a "failed state", then the USA has been a "failed state" in the past. Since there have been a couple of assassinations of US presidents.
When Google Workplace locks users because of this, and I’m fairly sure they will because they’re super aggressive with IPs that change via VPN, they'll bounce incoming mail for that user.

Have fun everyone!
True it applies to other services as well.

> Just an example of the absurd regulations in a different subject: Germany requires a license to stream to more than 500 people and they've actually enforced this on streamers. The license can cost €10k.

This information is outdated and misleading. Since 2020, licenses for public broadcast are only required for broadcasts which, averaged over six months, exceed 20000 viewers and have significant importance for the formation of public and private opinion [1].

Prior to this change, some streamers had indeed been forced to acquire such a license (although there were more conditions than just regularly having 500 viewers). Also, licenses for streamers actually cost around 1000-2500 €, instead of the 10000 € you claimed. In addition, there was an exception for cases where this would be an undue hardship [2]. The regulator basically agreed that this was pretty silly, but that it planned to enforce the law as written (as is its job), until it was changed (which it has been).

Ground source heat pumps work anywhere. Also, it's common to have a heat pump paired with resistance heating for when you're pushing the bottom of the range where the heat pump is useful (somewhere between -10 and 20℉ depending on the hardware).

That has similar issues with peak load to AC in the summer but most people do not live in places which are consistently so cold that you don't have a significant amount of time where the heat pump efficiency savings are substantial. As a matter of public policy, encouraging systems which work for 90% of the population is an easy call — especially because that can pair with code changes and subsidies which work anywhere (insulation, install of ground cooling loops, efficiency improvements, etc.).

This is a most ridiculous comparison and anecdote. You fell in love because the cashier let you know peanut butter was buy one get one? Your new home is better than San Francisco because the local major grocery store is better than a pharmacy in SF? Come on.
If you expect service from a company as a customer, you shouldn't be surprised they want to identify you.

In fact they are probably doing so specifically because people were already social engineering them this way.

Sure the stuff they are asking for is ridiculous, but that's because you are attempting to use non-standard channels of communication.

You're getting mad at them for trying to meet you halfway.

Pick up the phone. Send them an email. Use their contact form and have them contact you.

This is all easily avoided.

Personally I would never allow anything related to anyone's account to happen over Twitter DMs unless there was something like a system in place where you give them your Twitter handle during sign-up.
Ethically-sourced information

Understand your contacts better by knowing their interests. Scailer ethically searches for information about your contacts – profiles, social media sites, etc. – and produces a 360-degree view

I'm sorry but the "ethically searches for information [...] and produces a 360-degree view" is very sketchy at first glance, making me question the "ethically" in it.

Also, why no Linux version? I've been looking for a mail client but that is a deal-breaker for me.
The main thing ACA does is help shift even more money from people to health insurance companies. Any other benefits are ancillary or completely accidental.
I don't think that's gonna cut it, but definitely on the right track. Its going to require some kind of legislation, or an insurance requirement that renders the insurers as de-facto regulators. This is still crazy hard due to the possibility of regulatory arbitrage, just open shop in Anguilla or wherever.

Without the auditing, compliance, and domain experts to verify and implement this, its going to be extremely hard to create and levy these penalties in any meaningful way. Using (legally) vague terms like "leak" "personal" "data" and "involved", a quick trip to the local courtroom will obviate a lot of the fines for well connected C-execs and legal teams.

Data integrity needs to be baked into the equation from the start. Until it is a business requirement to ensure proper system architecture practices, data integrity, and auditing, I don't see a snowball's chance of reaching sanity. Really, we've only barely defined the problem. Businesses have compliance departments that are totally subservient to business needs and would much rather resort to gaslighting stakeholders with silver-bullet checkbox security technology processes shaded in at the board room.

On the other side, we are now ushering in a fascinating golden age of the security rodeo. There is astonishing growth in this industry, enjoy unending contracts for Red and Blue alike. It could soon really begin to look like a Gibson novel.
True, we do not want to force users into a rigid workflow. We build the tool so it can integrate with other parts of the ML stack. Right now you can for example use Evidently to calculate if the model has drifted, and then log the results in a JSON format, or take only some parts of the JSON (for example metrics you want) and then send them to an external dashboarding tool. As long as you can process a JSON output or store an HTML file you can build any workflow around that.

We plan to work on tutorials and prepare native integrations with some popular tools like Grafana, MLflow, DVC and some others.
While trying to get parts of this to compile, I found https://github.com/tihmstar/usbmuxd2 which you can replace usbmuxd with and get wifi sync support.

I just tried this in MariaDB 10.5.10 on my personal blog database and it doesn't work. `post` <- many to many -> `tag`

With LEFT JOIN:

SELECT posts.title,
GROUP_CONCAT(tags.tag) AS tagarr
FROM posts
LEFT JOIN post_tags ON post_tags.post_id = posts.id
LEFT JOIN tags ON tags.tag_id = post_tags.tag_id

With WHERE:

SELECT posts.title,
GROUP_CONCAT(tags.tag) AS tagarr
FROM posts, post_tags, tags
WHERE posts.id *= post_tags.post_id
AND tags.tag_id *= post_tags.tag_id

It gives:

A very experienced expert lawyer who should know, and knows adtech well says "Section 3 of the DPA? Advertising using data that would reveal an identifiable living individual ? It’s a bit more complex than that as processes to protect such data being used should also be included."

"Appealing to narcissism" is dead easy on one level (avoids all sorts of problems that you could encounter with people otherwise), and very hard on another level.

If you are always "present" and engaged then the target is going to do most of the work themselves. If "the lights are on and nobody is home" when you try to take a step forward, you really take 10 steps back.
I didn't say that it prevents banks from closing accounts, rather they're discouraged. If a bank really thinks an account is fraudulent, they need to stop processing checks drawn on the account. Since doing so creates fallout they have to deal with, they're incentivized to only declare an account fraudulent if they're pretty damn sure. Whereas with a totally online account, the only downside is losing that customer.
Hmm, interesting. Any idea how the picture looks at the 5-year or 10-year trend (year over year clouds just be an anomaly)? What about the degree of poverty (we could have fewer poor people but they could be getting poorer)?
> Here are some of my tools that I fall back on when people are mean ... 3) Literally shake it off. I personally have found a lot of healing in shaking things off quite literally, as well as other kinaesthetic movements.

The classic guy prescription for anything that ails you, including a broken leg, is "Walk it off". That's not such good advice for a broken leg, but for me it's excellent advice for dealing with social trauma, from getting dumped by a girlfriend to a mean tweet. Major bonus points if the walk is through nature, which the Japanese call shinrin-yoku, a "forest bath". It's great therapy for dealing with the narcissists and sociopaths of social media world. Even better if you turn off the phone.

And pro tip, when walking in the woods with the phone off, listen to the tweets.
"But debt is not just victor's justice; it can also be a way of pun­ishing winners who weren't supposed to win. The most spectacular example of this is the history of the Republic of Haiti - the first poor country to be placed in permanent debt peonage. Haiti was a nation founded by former plantation slaves who had the temerity not only to rise up in rebellion, amidst grand declarations of universal rights and freedoms, but to defeat Napoleon's armies sent to return them to bondage. France immediately insisted that the new republic owed it 150 million francs in damages for the expropriated plantations, as well as the expenses of outfitting the failed military expeditions, and all other nations, including the United States, agreed to impose an embargo on the country until it was paid. The sum was intentionally impossible (equivalent to about 18 billion dollars), and the resultant embargo en­ sured that the name "Haiti" has been a synonym for debt, poverty, and human misery ever since."

Many posts here questioning why a kid needs/wants a debt card. I think most would be less surprised to know many things kids want to buy are digital, specifically app subs and virtual currency (i.e., robux). Even a 4-year old will be asking for an AppStore gift card to sub to Sago Mini
They didn't. They occupied the legislative building, but they didn't seize the government because they made no attempt to exercise power, and if they had it wouldn't have been taken seriously.
Audacity fork maintainer quits over harassment allegations
You're right about km vs mile, but it's consistently km in the comparisons so the same proportional result. The telcos don't need to provide coverage to every square meter, but they do have to reach many sparsely populated areas. The large carriers have it as a goal to cover areas like Northern Ontario better. I don't know what Australia's policies are, but they would have to be part of the comparison.

The cost difference between Telstra and Telus/Bell/Rogers is double, but over a month tens of dollars is not a significant part of a budget, and when consuming video &c there's really not that much different between 30 - 40 GB (unlimited is another story). For people on a very limited budget, there are lower cost plans, but even with the Telstra plan it's not comparable to wired.

Don't get me wrong, I think Canada, right or wrong, coddles these big carriers as a defence against international players, which creates an uneven playing field here (sharing infrastructure at competitive rates seemed like a fair recourse). I am just trying to bring more perspective to the table than "Ontario has a high density so should be cheap," besides the obvious "we are not just talking about Ontario or Toronto here."

Wired is the real thing to discuss here, and what may get lost in the shuffle.
