They chose 14 studies of more than 50 available. Their method for screening studies looks biased towards finding an inconclusive result.

Bear in mind that 'bias' with regard to ivermectin is less likely to come from doctors than it is pharma companies. Doctors stand to gain nothing from the efficacy of ivermectin since it's a generic drug on the market since 1987. Pharma companies have a lot to lose if it's proven effective.

To control for bias one ought to look at larger sample sizes. And each time that happens there's a significant result.
I’m not trolling. Woke up scared to DEATH ! 3 weeks ago to date. blood and mucus in the sink and back of throat. I only had one steroid. All of the treatment was primarily Ivermectin. I am unbelievably lucky to be alive.
Use the new https://profiler.firefox.com/ .

It can literally tell you what can go wrong inside the whole Firefox architecture (Includes network, webtension, firefox internals, page scripts and so on).

My personal guess about it is about extensions, did you retry it again in safe mode?

And if you suspect it is a issue in firefox itself, you can upload the profile and open a bug at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/home , so someone more familiar with Firefox can investigate it.
I'm always a bit wary about child porn arguments. For example, the Australian police ran a child porn website for 11 months https://www.vg.no/spesial/2017/undercover-darkweb/?lang=en. A child protection agency spread pictures of child pornography http://saucenao.blogspot.com/2021/04/recent-events.html. At some point, I start to wonder about the intentions of the people behind these.
> That's not how it works. Most larger trees survive fires just fine, they just don't look very pretty for a while afterwards.

In theory that's how it should work. The problem is when you have heat plus drought conditions... the wildfires consume everything.

For example, the Castle fire in California consumed over a tenth of the entire population of giant sequoias. Giant sequoias are pretty fire resistant due to their size and height, but this fire devastated them.
A cargo cult operating system. None of the things it provides are the reason people use macOS. They use it because they pay money to ensure everything just works, and to use their macOS apps.

Yes, Apple chose to add technology to its system which identifies application developers and allows them to tell your machine that specific developers or applications cannot be trusted.

You can turn that feature off.
We can go back to normal as soon as people are willing to accept the risks of normalcy. In fact some US states have been back to normal for months and are no longer restricting liberties.

I encourage everyone to get vaccinated if they can. But even if we had 100% vaccination the authoritarians would move the goalposts again and say that we have to keep locking down and wearing masks because of reasons.
Isbell's Neurips keynote is fantastic! Definitely recommend.
Most of what I know of libertarians I learned from people calling themselves libertarians on the Internet.

Were they libertarians? Well, I can't say for certain, but I think that seriously trying to argue they weren't gets well into No True Scotsman territory.

Regardless, almost every self-proclaimed libertarian I have ever come across has absolutely argued against government regulations, with the possible exception of those supporting property rights.
> There is plenty of contra evidence to suggest that vaccination is extremely effective at keeping people from getting very ill.

This does not in itself suggest anything about transmissibility, which is what GP is referring to.

Really good explanations here. As a Cloudflare Enterprise customer I've opened a case with them to see if any of these vulnerabilities apply to their WAF. I was a bit surprised to see the article mention that Imperva's WAF was vulnerable.

edit: Cloudflare has responded that "[they] are asking your question internally."
Nah: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/tetanus-vaccine-sterilizat...

Such claims have been repeatedly retracted: https://retractionwatch.com/2018/01/30/second-time-researche...
Good point! We should link to the papers discusses in the description at least, did not think of that.
You are right, and in particular, the quick-fire 2-way communication really ramps it up.

Makes me think even harder about the _real_ reason Apple canceled him.
It seems most of the vulnerabilities here (at least, the first several that I read in the article) come at a point where an HTTP/2 request is transformed into an HTTP 1.1 request. So the insecurity seems to come at the point where a translation occurs and there is redundant information that can be handled in several ways, meaning that there's lots of room for bugs.
Sorry Apple fans, but you have been living in the very definition of "The Hotel California".

Apple has altered the deal. Pray they do not alter it any further.

Now you have to live with the consequences of convenience.
There have certainly been busts in the media, including some depraved individuals who have blackmailed teenagers into sending them images, one of which set the dangerous precedent of tech companies developing exploits, and refusing to disclose them after the fact.

It isn't terribly surprising that a platform like Facebook, which has a lot of children on it, would end up attracting predators who seek to prey on them. Fortunately, Facebook has been deploying a number of tools to improve their safety over the past few years which don't rely on surveillance or even censorship.

Statistically, there have been a number of arrests which have been a product of their activities, although I don't have much info on those. Someone else may.

The real question is whether it is worth sacrificing everyone's privacy, so that a few people can be arrested.

I can imagine iCloud being a lower risk platform than Facebook. Someone can't really groom someone into uploading photos, although the existence of such images is still very condemnable.
But what if the family wants to use it on the device of a 13-year-old child?
That's a fair point. I'm fully vaccinated and still have to wear my mask in shops and interior spaces, it's getting a bit annoying. If people don't want to get infected they can just take the vaccine or not go outside.
That is a good point, it's still Emacs after all.

These distributions do provide the ability to add the features you might need (Org-Mode, python or ruby support, etc.) without having to download a bunch of files of Elisp and code up a configuration file from scratch. Many require some binaries to be installed (like ruby or python) but a lot of people will have them installed already.
These are cool. I wish it was possible to move beyond Colab for generative type ML as the UX is horrible and there is no practical way to use them on mobile. Unfortunately it seems to be a problem of who has the hardware and who doesn't. Hopefully as time passes it will be easier to host these kinds of services, and not have to feel hopeless after the next AI Dungeon-type corporate implosion.
The Oxford study is using patients so far down the viral infection it has most certainly been designed to fail. All the evidence suggests ivermectin works best when used early, and Oxford plan to use it on late stage patients.

Funny that - given that Oxford are being funded by the pharma companies to make the vaccine and novel therapies.

Never bite the hand that feeds you and all. I don't know why we are expected to wait for a study from Oxford when it has already been written off by the actual doctors saving lives because of strange doses and late stage patients.

There are already 50+ studies. Nation states are already using ivermectin.
Thanks for the info!

I've been using Navicat for SQLite and like it. If I ever get a PostgresSQL job I'll try it there since it works well for SQLite.

At my current job we are on IBM AS/400 for ERP (legacy and replacing it would be very high risk as it would change the business drastically so that won't happy any time soon).

For all other stuff we are using SQL Server and several of our key 3rd party vendors only use SQL Server. I think the fact too that some many companies run Microsoft Network and Servers that it naturally lends toward the network effect as you mention. Plus while it's expensive it's 10x cheaper than Oracle in many cases.
>It reads a bit like they are grouping people who’ve own their home for 50 years in with those who just bought - similar to how they calculate rent.

Sounds like you're upset that the index is an average of everyone, and therefore doesn't recognize your individual struggles?

Eating food grown yourself is a different experience than shopping at the supermarket. Should we factor farm land cost into the CPI?
Not as well as I would have expected tbh - see the trint link above, it's pretty good but there are lots of errors, so correcting it is quite time consuming.
That’s funny I thought liberal had some sort of synonymous root with freedom or liberty or choice.
This is exactly it. Pop culture does not set policy.

The current forestry management regieme around preventing forest fires was put in place to protect forests as an agricultural asset and resource for the timber industry.

That practice has morphed into a protection of real estate as people have built their homes in the wildfire zone over the past 40 years.

Prior to colonozation by Europeans in the Pacific Northwest, native americans regularly burned forests regularly. That practice stopped once their populations were decimated by disease and subjugation.
It's the automatic type coercion (strings <=> numbers), the overusage of tables as a universal data structure with bad API, the bizzare syntax.

It might as well be Perl. I don't want you to use Perl either.
I've heard of issues with smoke tainting grapes (prescribed burns to prevent major fires in a wine region) but I got the impression that each side negotiated timing rather than it being serious opposition. The alternative being full-scale fire causes a lot more damage.

Lately, I've been on the fence about open source software, and I've been tempted by propietary programs. Mainly because FOSS is much less polished than commercial closed-source software, and I care about polish. I even contemplated buying an Apple M1 at some point.

But now I'm reminded of how fucking awful and hostile Apple and other companies can be. I'm once again 100% convinced that free software is the only way to go, even if I have to endure using software with ugly UIs and bad UX. It will be worth it just not to have to use software written by these assholes.

Stallman was right.
That's for the tip!

I've used JetBrains for Development before and consider their quality exception so next time I use PostgresSQL I'll give it a try.

I've also used Navicat for SQLite and like it so I'll probably try that one as well.

Oh how times change. It's not so long since this infamous sentiment (as espoused by one much more infamous browser vendor) was widely seen as the regressive excuse it is.

What I do is create a symlink of the lovr binary (inside LÖVR.app/Contents/macOS) and store the symlink in: ~/.bin

On shell start-up the ~/.bin directory is added to my PATH env variable.

Then I can just open terminal, navigate to project directory and do:

$ lovr .

The following is a bit of a rant so I apologize in advance.

I'm not a programmer, but I understand enough about systems administration to know why monotonic time is important.

But leap seconds exist for a reason - the rate of Earth's spin is not constant, so since the invention of clocks accurate enough to be able to tell that, we have had to invent a way of compensating for the variable rate of spin such that "midday" is still the middle of the day and "midnight" is still the middle of the night. Without adjustment, these concepts would slowly drift.

It makes me angry that programmers feel that they "own" the concept of time measurement enough to propose the abolition of leap seconds. The definition of unix time excluding leap seconds is really the origin of this nonsense, and it has always seemed to me that the obvious solution is computers should simply measure seconds since the epoch. Wikipedia describes this version as the "TAI-based variant" of Unix Time, and if we all used it, computers wouldn't even have to care about leap seconds, and conversion to standard time display could be done in userland, accounting for leap seconds in the process.

Civil time is more important than keeping your log files in order. Get your computers to count seconds, and leave more important human concepts like midday and midnight to the humans who are affected by them.

Did you ever go out without a mask before 2020? Influenza is also a potentially fatal respiratory disease which can be spread by asymptomatic patients. We have vaccines but some years they are as little as 20% effective. So you might have already killed someone by spreading flu. How does that make you feel?

> But, if you assume it's likely other sites use seeds, then rainbow tables are out, and length can matter again.

I'm not sure what you're saying here. If by seeds you mean "salts", they're not relevant -- the whole point of a rainbow table is that you precalculate the hash of every possible password. If it's salted, you'll see the salt in the plaintext and just remove it.

But a rainbow table for long passwords will develop pretty extreme storage requirements, and take a long time to compute.
I don't know what happened with InDesign. Coming from pagemaker and Quark it was somewhat revolutionary and now it's as the other poster commented, clunky. Illustrator certainly has added bloat but generally works better with each update and Photoshop has added lots of useful tools but not InDesign. Actually they probably add tons of new stuff to InDesign but nothing that I have found useful.
Thanks! Once I used dbeaver for SQL Server (can't remember why) but I can try it again in the future next time I use Postgres.

I think for Enterprise SQL Server is increasing if anything (due in part because so many Companies run windows Servers internally) and developers can install it for free.

I do like the power of PL/pgSQL although I've never worked with it in detail. I reminds me of the power of Oracle's syntax without the huge cost that only large companies can afford.

I'm a former bowling enthusiast, even bowling professionally at the regional level. The article is right, the weight block is important.

But there is even more physics at play in the ball surface and the way the holes are placed. (Making the ball heavier in places relative to the part of the ball that is the 'track', where it rolls, can greatly change the way the ball behaves.)

For those with an interest, read sometime about a man named 'Don McCune', who went from being a middle-grade bowler to the dominant professional almost overnight because he discovered how hardness of the ball surface is important.
It used to... it used to.
Do they look at the relative contribution between CO2 and VOCs? These two require very different solutions. The first is about ventilation in closed spaces, and the second can be solved with only a $300 air purifier.

EDIT: Here is the original study: https://ehp.niehs.nih.gov/doi/10.1289/ehp.1510037

I really don't understand their methods pertaining to VOCs. Maybe someone can fill me in. Their method pertaining to CO2 seems straightforward.

I also liked having to replace some hardware on one (maybe a disk, was a while back), and wondering what tools I'd need.

I opened up the case (just a thumbscrew or latch) very easily, to find a Sun branded official screwdriver sat inside the case in a tool holder, ready for me to use.

This article is pretty crap, it really gives no insight into what a core does to the ball (mostly change the shape of how the ball curves, not how much). Like how does the article not make one mention of how the core causes the rotation of the ball to change as it spins to reveal clean coverstock (i.e. flare)? The article is purely Storm's marketing about what they say about different cores. Not to mention, the core has a relatively minor effect on the balls performance than the coverstock, yet that is barely alluded to in the article.

Yeah I haven't used pl/pgsql but it reminds me of Oracle's pl/sql which is very powerful.

At first the Oracle version felt clunky to me too but then after taking time to learn it I also found moving complex app logic to SQL allowed me to make complex app changes much quicker. I have use that method of development now for years in a variety of apps and databases and it works great.
Do 'actual libertarians' get to control who gets to call themselves a libertarian?

Michigan politicians that like to label themselves as libertarian supported socializing the cost of vehicle accidents. Of course repealing an insurance mandate is pro 'personal freedom' on the surface, but in context of reality, all it does is transfer costs from a user fee to Medicaid, which is not libertarian at all.

Mega fires are not the healthier small fires that do what you describe. The energy release from the built up, continuous mass of old fuel is literally in the scale of thermal flash from a nuclear weapon. It is unreal, and kills everything - sometimes even sterilizing soil 10+ Ft underground.

I read data. A friend is working on the vaccine for Novavax - him and his family will not be vaccinated anytime within this decade. This is very quickly turning into an endemic virus cycle like most others throughout history. We've been trying to eradicate the coronavirus family for at least 70 years with 0 results. This is a leaky vaccine, and breakthrough case numbers reported by Pfizer to the FDA don't paint a rosy picture (somewhere between 14-24%; they don't know, they didn't really test those people in their initial trials, they just assumed they had Covid based on symptoms, which is why they keep stressing that even though you've had your vaccinations, you're still at risk of infection and spreading the disease). Look at the numbers of fully vaccinated people in Israel currently hospitalized. I'd rather NYC enforced high quality diet and mandatory exercise than a newfangled vaccine. But I know, people just want the magic pill....every year...for the rest of their lives.

AOSP does support GPS without needing any additional software, but does not have built-in support for Wi-Fi and cell tower triangulation. As you mentioned, UnifiedNlp (bundled with microG) optionally supports triangulation using a variety of location providers (including offline and online choices) for a faster location lock.
