How about an Android OS stripped from everything that's not needed?

To be used with older devices. Privacy focused with an intentional black and white display. Plenty of devices laying around. The stripped features should also improve the battery life as well.

For IM I really loved BitlBee, maybe the mandatory IM could be within terminal. Notifications could be highly customized and the ux would be non-candy one.
Could you instead set a _acme-challenge.example.com NS record and let the other DNS provider handle only _acme-challenge.example.com that way?
I've used tikz a bit, and the results do look very good, but it sure takes a lot longer than just whipping up a graphic in any other graphics software

You don't own anything if the government can confiscate it for failing to make indefinite recurrent payments on it.

As long as you pay property tax your property is really owned by Uncle Sam.

I presume it means building, "cooking up" is a slang and its meaning varies, it can mean literally cooking, or also processing an idea, or building something. It relates to creation.
My kids (5 and 7) spend about as much time interacting with electronics as I did at their age, it’s just iPads/YouTube and Nintendo Switch instead of broadcast TV and NES. The majority of their time is spent playing with dolls, lego, writing stories, etc. They recently turned the playroom into a “Toy Cafe” featuring slime smoothies and poppit cookies.
Is there any screenshots?
Depends on what you think the goal of the free market/society is, e.g. is this even in our interest to solve - better to redistribute these ill gotten gains to the benefit of society and let the free market solve its own problem - if they do it again, another fine.

Taliban acquires US military biometric devices that can identify Afghans who assisted coalition efforts – reports

The Taliban has reportedly seized US military biometrics equipment that could expose Afghans who helped coalition forces – since they contain identifying data like iris scans and fingerprints as well as biographical information.
An unidentified Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) official told The Intercept that the Islamist group confiscated the Handheld Interagency Identity Detection Equipment (HIIDE) devices during its offensive push last week. The report was backed up by three former US military personnel.

They told the news outlet that the portable devices could be used to access sensitive information from large, centralized military databases, but noted that it was still unclear how much of the biometric database collected on the Afghan population has been compromised.

According to a US Army Corps of Engineers presentation, HIIDE devices use the data collected to create a “portfolio” that can then be imported into Biometrics Automated Toolset (BAT) identification-processing software as a “digital dossier.” This can be scanned against official watch lists for threats.

Besides tracking insurgents, the Pentagon was also reportedly keen to use the devices to gather unique data on 80% of the Afghan population to check for terrorist and criminal activity. Unnamed sources said biometric details of locals who helped the US were also collected and used in identification cards.

“We processed thousands of locals a day, had to ID, sweep for suicide vests, weapons, intel gathering, etc. ... [HIIDE] was used as a biometric ID tool to help ID locals working for the coalition,” an American military contractor told the outlet.

True, there are always interesting ways to create challenges to enhance the experience.
Yes, exactly. The law needs to be updated to account for this new world of "platforms".

By platform, I mean an ecosystem a private entity creates which they monetize through content created/uploaded/deployed by external parties.

AWS and others fall under this definition too. The truth is, cloud computing should be a low margin industry in the long run. Yes, software has close to 0 marginal cost of production, but the same is true of your competitors. Basic economic principle implies that in a competitive market, the price to customers should be close to the cost of production.

In the old days, the economy was largely physical goods based, so it was very easy to simply buy a competing product if you don't like the one you have now. That by and large didn't entail becoming entrenched in a whole ecosystem.

Laws need to be updated to tackle the inherent monopolistic elements of platforms, social and so on. China is taking this path, so it will be interesting to see how that develops.

It's important to recognize too, that leveraging a monopolistic position to produce excess profit is effectively a direct transfer of wealth from the littler guys to the bigger guys.

e.g. Apple taking a 30% cut on the app store directly takes from app creators, who may raise prices 30%, which ultimately hits customers.
How? That's been the understanding for hundreds of years and derives farther back then even our own country. It has its roots in English constitutional law and the principle of Parliamentary Sovereignty, one of the main tenets of which is that no previous act is allowed to bind the hands of a future parliament, to do so thwarts the democratic will of the people expressed by who they chose to elect.

When you look it narrow, you will mot see it. But as you start to see the big picture, you start to see the similarities with our past mistakes.
Companies that are so afraid of loosing their power over their consumers, will do anything and everything to keep it.
If android and apple had an Open Store API, and their respective stores had the power, no problem.
But closing their store apis for themself, payments to themself is bad.
Do you think we would’ve had chrome and firefox, if IE used obscure APIs?
Imagine Internet standards as controlled by Microsoft.
They reject legit apps on daily basis without recourse.

To keep it more simple, think of how US let its telecom companies have so much power over its communication needs. How it’s affecting people.
It was a long tine ago that I was in academia, but the advice that I would hibe an student today would be:
use beeminder.com to set a bet to yourself to write 500 words daily... on anything... just the habit of writing is extremely important. Try to use the 5 paragraph esssay or the a logical tree exposition.

Use org-roam for a zettlekastem notes (that count to the 500 word limit)

And trying to use Literate programming (org-babel) to make your articles reproducible.

Use nixos in your personal computer so that you can control exactly what dependencies and libraries your papers need.

You can also use a syntax similar to Graphviz' dot language within TikZ, and either position the nodes manually or, as with Graphviz, let TikZ position them automatically with a choice of layout algorithms. You use LuaTeX, and the layout is calculated by a Lua program:

So you can get the best of both worlds, doing everything within TikZ/LuaLaTeX.
I used CircuiTikZ when I taught a circuits course. The figures turned out so well, it was nice to be able to have such a uniform and portable representation.

I suspect starting from TikZ proper would make some of the wiring easier; there's a lot of naming nodes and connecting between them that seemed unintuitive, and like I always missed an easier way to draw a circuit.
A manager in my previous company tried to make me file patents for what were crud apps so he could get credit for it. Dirtbag quit and kept calling me to file the patents before he left so his name would be on them. I was the main developer on the project and when I told him I won't because I don't think there's anything worth patenting, he blew his qtop and asked why my name was on the patent application. I cut him off and ensured he'd never talk to me again. He wasn't my reporting manager but one level higher. I also cut off my reporting manager who enabled him, because I used to think he was a friend and realized he was no less than the dirt bag aforementioned. My junior devs got the credit instead, and they were rewarded for the application and the trade secret filing.
Are the aerogels used in supercaps still highly insulating, or are they filled with another dialectric material that would conduct heat? The reason I ask, is that I'd imagine that capacitors could be made in plates (instead of rolling them up into cylinders), and used for wall materials. The metal conductive layers would block moisture and the dialectric aerogel layers would act as insulation to keep heat in the house.

Your walls could also store electricity.
Thanks man. Just so I've fully understood here:

> "The person who got the surgery would often lose only the plurality of the weight, and sometimes not even that."

By this you're meaning the whole family lost weight after one individual had bariatric surgery?
Used to! I restored vintage oscilloscopes, played around with high voltage and low noise power supplies, and did some microwave stuff, too. Of the scopes I used, one was a tek 556 dual beam vacuum tube scope, and the other a 2 GHz lecroy for everything else. I had a 20 GHz specan, 6 GHz VNA, a handful of power supplies, hot air rework and all that good stuff. Now I’m doing a postdoc and have joined a group that’s much more tinker-oriented so the lab I work in is a big mix of research stuff with a few personal projects. The major one now is a machine for rewinding the specialized HV transformers in the 500 series scopes that I love so much.
On mobile or desktop?

If you’re on desktop just go to settings and search for “autocomplete” - it might be under Google sync settings or advanced -> privacy settings for “use prediction service to help complete searches and urls”

If I’m wrong, it’s only because I’m using MS Edge and this was a question it asked during setup :)

It took me a while to learn this. In college however I found I would read something and think, "Yeah, I totally understand this." and then need it later to find I didn't really understand it at all.

For me taking notes is a big part of it. For scientific papers reading the cites and then re-reading the paper helps cement things. For fiction I just seem to remember them and that makes re-reading kind of irritating/boring so not as keen on re-reading those.

But as the article touches on, for me it is the "why" sometimes that is key. Mathematics rarely sticks in my head unless I have a specific application for which the math is useful.
Kids are interesting. Some of our friends' kids can just sit patiently with their parents and learn things. They're reading at two years old, are bilingual, and can count to 100. My 3 year old can spot me trying to teach her instantly and will yell out "daddy don't teach me!". So I have to get a bit creative. We pretend play every night with legos, magnet blocks, and different characters and sometimes so in an attempt to teach her we build classrooms and have one of the characters teach a lesson (e.g. about egypt, counting, spelling, etc). But this isn't really a good method :)

We tried ABC mouse and it was OK. I'm actually amazed at how good she is with the mac touchpad. But in general I dislike that many companies are focusing on tablet apps. I just purchased a LeapFrog LeapStart specifically because it is not a tablet. I wish there were more products like this.
So yes, moreover than that then. It was a commie coup, followed by another commie coup, followed by a full blown invasion.

Funny fact, a lot of Taliban oldtimers are in fact former radical Marxists, and Maoists.
> Researchers also found that individuals who experienced long COVID were more likely to be less educated, have seasonal allergies and pre-existing health conditions, and self-report greater symptom severity than people without long COVID.

How do we know any of these symptoms were caused by COVID?

I dislike the style of writing. The name of the fruit, durian, is mentioned first ~60% into the article.
This is a lending problem. The only way of solving this is by doing due diligence on the person and his/her financial history. Credit check types.
One bit from this post was on taking notes. I’ve purchased several nice notebooks (moleskine, Baron Fig, etc) to use but I always hate how jumbled my commonplace notes got and I’d quit. Most of these notebooks are 25% completed.

I bought a reMarkable 2 earlier this year and have loved it. I have a notebook per subject and I can append to each without carrying multiple paper notebooks or getting upset by the lack of organization in a single commonplace notebook.

If you like paper but hate disorganization, and have the disposable income, give it or another eInk tablet a try.
I've never heard of transmutation, transcription, reclassification, or category as data processing jargon.

Transmutation is for nuclear physicists, transcription is for court reporters, reclassification is for national security, and everything is categorical because people like the word.

How would they help with biology?

I have had some experience (among non-technical, non-bio co-workers) with what I suspect is the basic issue here (and I think the document link confirms this) - people just equate an "explanation" to connecting things with arrows and everybody kind of nods along while never agreeing on what the arrows mean.

It can be seen as antisocial if you - the recipient of the "knowledge" - question what they mean.
It works well for multirepo management. The ability to create milestones throughout multiple repos.

Actual paper ...

> Among participants who tested positive for COVID-19, 68.7% experienced at least one symptom after 30 days, marking the distinction for long COVID. This prevalence increased to 77% after 60 days of follow-up. Researchers also found that individuals who experienced long COVID were more likely to be less educated, have seasonal allergies and pre-existing health conditions, and self-report greater symptom severity than people without long COVID.

Eh, I think it is simply the fact that Apple doesn’t want to be associated with individuals violating their terms of service in an unlawful way.

This is a way to root them out and report them to law enforcement.
I generally agree, but this is a very weird phrase considering history:

> Do you think we would’ve had chrome and firefox, if IE used obscure APIs

IE did use obscure, non standard APIs. It took web developers to get tired of MS' shit and starting to code to the standards to dethrone IE from its monopoly. This also kind of implies that IE was there before Netscape which is not true.

>>New York itself has ~700 000 workers, so 300k making 30k more than the median

Which is significant, given New York has 300,000 public sector workers. The median would be much lower if you excluded them when calculating the median income. They're the dominant political faction, voting in governments that give them more tax dollars.

>>Unions provide an advantage even when everyone is in an union. Again, see the multiple countries that have almost full unionization.

What advantage are you talking about? Anemic wage growth? Public sector pensions that threaten to bankrupt the state? Industrial sectors that are steadily being eclipsed by East Asian economies?

Congrats on autocompletion and syntax! Now do visual debugging, safe refactoring, type and parameter name hints shown inline, and package management. The first 3 are used on daily basis, the last one maybe once a week.
There is an index of partner organizations,[0] but I haven't had much luck with their people index,[1] which seems to present just the WEF website template without any content.

Indeed they've been very kind with releasing their agenda. :) Schwab's "The Great Reset" book is a roadmap for the next steps, and the WEF is following up with more media-friendly content regularly.[3]

I suspect that Schwab either is a very productive author who made excellent use of his lockdown time, or the Great Reset manuscript was sitting in his ghostwriter's desk, and just got "COVID-19" prepended to its title.

Also, re: the "neighborhood hubs". Really? These already existed, they were called, eh let me think -- neighborhoods. But yeah, I like your take on it as a "smart gulag", seems to capture the whole idea nicely.

I'm squinting really hard, but can't see any non-dystopian outcome. Sure, we'll put on a smile -- even with a mask on, it's a requirement, and the WiFi routers are ubiquitous, they're looking at us,[4] and they can tell when you're not smiling,[5] so we'll have to.

(OK, perhaps I'm stretching it with SENS being able to detect smiling, though apparently it does detect gestures.)

ksh93 depends exclusively on the kernel implementation of /dev/fd devices. I just checked `cat <(ls)` a moment ago on both Linux and AIX 7.2--the latter fails in ksh93t+.

Bash uses /dev/fd when available, but also appears to have an internal implementation which silently creates named pipes and cleans them up. In Bash 5.0.18 on AIX, fake process substitution works just fine, in my testing.
Seems to be the one I'm looking for. Thanks!
I had covid 8 months ago and have definitely experienced long term changes in taste and smell. Have a hard time experiencing sweetness. I don't enjoy apples or bananas anymore, they taste bitter, or like chemicals. I can't taste the richness of chocolate. Luckily savory has come back and I enjoy that relatively more now.
What if you manipulate the data using SQL eg. UPDATE t SET col1 = SomeFunc(col2). That would expose you to possible type issues too.
Very true. And so the common idea among SWE's - the fastest way to a raise is to switch jobs.
I’d say the bigger difference is governments have a monopoly on the use of force. Certain companies could make your life a living hell I guess if they wanted with how much data they have on us though.
Whether it’s bribery or extortion doesn’t really make a difference to the end user having his data leaked
I vaguely recall seeing a license that claimed the license text itself was under copyright and it included a license to use the license. I’m not a lawyer though so no idea if you can actually copyright a license text.
You don't get it, what you describe is not necessarily a monopoly.
I've read that "Your body adjusts to input, so it's not that easy!" many times now. I don't dispute it is true.

But why not call the body's bluff? Cut input further! And then cut it again. Be more stubborn than your body.

Not saying it would be easy. It would probably be really hard. Not sure if I could actually do it if I had to. But surely, it is possible?! What little physics I know seems to strongly support it.
This sounded interesting to me as well, so I did some digging - the system is deterministic, as far as I can tell, but with lots of hidden and random information: https://wildermyth.com/wiki/index.php?title=Writer%27s_Guide
