1. Remote fonts, first or third party, are still a massive attack surface. This is why the Tor Browser's Torbutton disables them.

2. Non-default fonts for text still create a suboptimal experience for users with reading impairments like dyslexia who could benefit from using their preferred fonts in place of sans/serif without breaking pages that need icon fonts.

> Just because you don't like it doesn't mean the rest of the world should suffer without it.

By the same token, just because your design/marketing departments think a design "pops" doesn't mean that disadvantaged users should have to suffer by your personal preferences. People who need privacy (e.g tor users who disable js/JIT/SVG/any non-whitelisted fonts), extra a11y (changing default colors, fonts, layouts), and extra bandwidth constraints (satellite internet with high packet loss) exist too, and excessive web design frequently gets these people shafted.

I'm not saying that the world needs to change for my personal preferences; I'm saying that the world needs to cater less to personal preferences and more towards people's needs. People who make up a disadvantaged minority of users need disproportionate levels of accommodation, and their needs are more important than graphic design.
> I understand that the black hole at the center of the Milky Way has a lower density than iron.

That doesn't sound like it could be true. Black holes are densest possible objects in the universe. For instance, take a piece of iron of mass M = 1kg. Compress it down till it's diameter is smaller than twice the Schwarzschild radius associated with this mass (which is 2GM/c² = 1.4· 10^(-27) meters, where G is the gravitational constant and c is the speed of light[0]). You now have a black hole – one which has the same mass as your original piece of iron but which occupies a much smaller space than that piece of iron did.

For a supermassive black hole like Sagittarius A* (4.3·10⁶ solar masses, radius 11.25·10⁹ m) one obtains a density of volume / mass ~ 4.5·10⁶ kg/m³ – clearly this is much higher than the density of any iron that you can find on the surface of Earth.

Side note: Terms like "density" (= mass divided by volume) and "volume" don't really make sense in the context of black holes – the region "behind" the event horizon (the "inside" of the black hole) is not of "space" type (in physics lingo: it's not a 3-dimensional spacelike hypersurface). Instead, it's a 4-dimensional region of spacetime, meaning that it includes a time direction. It makes little sense to talk about the volume of such a thing (let alone of the density of mass "spread out" in such a spacetime).

But even more crucially, the region of spacetime behind the event horizon contains spacelike hypersurfaces of infinite volume. So it makes even less sense to assign a volume to it.

What people usually mean when they refer to the volume (and, by extension, the density) is the following: It's (roughly speaking) the volume you have to compress a mass down to for it to become a black hole. More precisely, for an observer at infinity, at any given instant of time a (static, spherically symmetric) black hole's event horizon appears to be a sphere of surface area 4π·(2GM/c²)², i.e. radius r = 2GM/c² [1]. Now take that radius and plug it into the usual formula for the volume of a ball of radius r. You have now defined the "volume" for a (static, spherically symmetric) black hole.

[0] https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=schwarzschild+radius+1...

[1] This is really the definition of the radius. This is because there is no center of the black hole on the "inside", so in particular it doesn't make sense to talk about the radius (= distance of the black hole's spherical surface to its "center").

How can anyone possibly market this as some kind of new innovation with a straight face?

Are they just relying on their audience to mostly be made up of people who are too young to know that devices like this were the norm for decades, or that you can still find other phones with this "functionality" for a fraction of the cost today?
When I first started my career, I used vi (not even vim) on Solaris terminals to develop and learn Perl, which I still know and love 20+ years later. I believe that I never would have learned it so deeply if I had used an IDE with syntax highlighting, autocomplete and the other various nanny features. That said, my life would be a whole lot more difficult if not for modern IDEs (which I currently use for Java, TypeScript, Clojure, Ruby, etc.), and at this point in my career, I can’t see myself going back to bare-bones editors. However, I have started using VSCode more often (when it makes sense to do so) - this seems to be a good compromise between a full-fledged IDE and a plain text editor, although you could certainly configure VSCode in such a way that it is basically an IDE.
No it really wouldn’t, some vaccine candidates including for MERS and SARS have exhibited ADE (a phenomenon that isn’t well understood to begin with) in some animal models. It so far hasn’t been observed in humans with any of the approved COVID vaccines but it doesn’t mean that it can’t happen either with some new mutation or in some rare cases with existing variants.

In general if you Google this without a pretty in depth understanding of biology and immunology you’ll go down a rabbit hole that would just reinforce your current position.

Asking a question shouldn’t be downvoted and even if you haven’t you shouldn’t excuse this behavior.
ADE can also happen with exposure to a virus itself, such as happens with Dengue fever. It's not something strictly limited to vaccines.
It may have been, but not anymore. Currently on the front page and not flagged!

I once tried to create a custom deck of cards in LaTeX, but it was harder than expected. Then I found this German dude on the Internet who already made some beautiful templates with Tikz, with mana and everything...

Eh, 300k for 3-4 years is a bit on the high end, but it’s possible. It also heavily depends on the region you’re based in. I know that FB decreases comp by >10% for lower cost of living regions.
I'm pro-vaccination, but there's no sugar coating the fact that %60 of hospitalizations are of previously vaccinated people.

I'm against both parties funneling tax payer money to defense contractors in never-ending wars, but more government programs to give them more options to funnel money is not the solution.

Totally for high speed rail depending on if the money gets to it. Japan has shown a private/public transportation system is possible. That being said, it'll probably go to a politicians friend's company and it'll end up like the $90 billion California train.

The current K-12 public school system is a joke, lets fix that first. I'd rather see school of choice. You can already qualify for preschool if you need it. For college, let's lower tuition before making the tax payer pay off the current tuition debt and then paying for free college for even more. (but really lets not pay people's debt)
Looking at it a bit closer, it appears to actually be a one-man effort.
There is more than vaccinated vs unvaccinated. There is also naturally acquired immunity. The best available science points to many interesting things you may not be aware of:

"Israelis who were vaccinated were 6.72 times more likely to get infected after the shot than after natural infection". https://archive.is/RlwBc

"Researchers from Washington University in St. Louis also reported last month that 11 months after a mild infection immune cells were still capable of producing protective antibodies. The authors concluded that prior Covid infection induces a “robust” and “long-lived humoral immune response,” leading some scientists to suggest that natural immunity is probably lifelong." https://archive.is/DkgW2

"Researchers from the Cleveland Clinic also published a study recently of 1,359 people previously infected with Covid who were unvaccinated. None of the subjects subsequently became infected, leading the researchers to conclude that “individuals who have had SARS-CoV-2 infection are unlikely to benefit from COVID-19 vaccination.”" https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.06.01.21258176v...

A recent study found that the current vaccines do next to nothing to help the body’s CD8 T-cells, which is the key to long-term immunity. https://www.cell.com/cell-reports-medicine/fulltext/S2666-37...

“A natural infection induces hundreds upon hundreds of antibodies against all proteins of the virus, including the envelope, the membrane, the nucleocapsid, and the spike. Dozens upon dozens of these antibodies neutralize the virus when encountered again. Additionally, because of the immune system exposure to these numerous proteins (epitomes), our T cells mount a robust memory, as well. Our T cells are the ‘marines’ of the immune system and the first line of defense against pathogens. T cell memory to those infected with SARSCOV1 is at 17 years and running still.” said Dr. Ryan Cole, a Mayo Clinic-trained pathologist who runs one of the largest independent laboratories in the US who has spent the past 16 months examining and culturing SARS-CoV-2 specimens. https://archive.is/o/4suZi/https://www.theblaze.com/op-ed/ho...

A national survey shows 68% of Indians have SARSCoV2 antibodies, compared to 25% in January and 1% last spring. Experts say this is why cases and deaths have plunged so fast since May, even though few Indians are fully vaccinated. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jul/21/covid-19-antib...

Protection of previous SARS-CoV-2 infection is similar to that of BNT162b2 vaccine protection. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.04.20.21255670v...

OK thanks. I thought the major concern was the number of people getting it not the number of severe cases...

It's more of a sure thing than a possibility.
A year ago, when restaurants (in Virginia) were allowed to start opening up again, offer outdoor seating, etc. they had to go to disposable, one-time use menus. I noticed a number of local places that went to QR codes rather than print up a bunch of menus.

One place that went carry-out only and has continued that way, doesn't have a huge display menu and has one menu they can wipe down and let people look at; but, has the QR ode posted in several spots.

A lot of this comes down to familiarity. I tend to use "make -j 100" for what you're describing. If I write the Makefile carefully [1], it will handle resuming a half-finished job. I just looked and GNU parallel has a --resume argument which probably does something similar, and maybe with less hassle. But I don't do this often enough—and/or GNU parallel isn't "better enough"—that I'm likely to ever invest the time to learn GNU parallel.

btw, oil looks very cool. I hate how many footguns are in common shells.

We were never in a world where Apple was unable to do what the government was asking. Nothing impossible has been made possible, and Apple has made a stand against small changes - like changing constants - before.
This is also the direction a lot of data engineering is going, where systems are going from ETL to ELT (that is loading data with minimal transformations as soon as possible and doing complicated transforms after that). This is e.g. why tools such as dbt are getting popular.

But I suspect OP's point is probably that you do at least impose a schema on import rather than letting it just be featureless JSON blobs or EAV tuples, which makes the job of understanding that data later so much easier.

Yeah but then you're editing code in, what is basically, notepad. Good luck finding the file you need to edit from the Chrome dev console.

Having the ability to do everything from your IDE allows you to leverage all of the tooling built into that IDE.
The more money you print, the more imaginary it becomes, the less purchasing power it has, the more stuff costs. Inflation.
The solution is not to have tip and pay true minimum wage for waitresses.
There's nothing wild about that kind of questions. We know that sometimes vaccines are the cause of re-infections (for inactivated agents vaccines): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1383764/

The Git tools built into IDEs are indeed very convenient, but I often warn junior (and even mid) developers to NOT use them unless you understand exactly what they’re doing.

The perfect phone, to me:

* Wifi only
* GPS
* Square e-ink touchscreen, 3 inches across
* QWERTY hardware keyboard
* Thin foldable a la razor
* Latest LTE tech worldwide bands for future proof network compatibility
* Micro SDXC slot
* USB-C with host and audio capabilities
* Removable battery
* De-googlized AOSP with F-Droid
* Some good hardware hi-def DAC
* 3.5mm audio out
* Decent camera for photos, don't care about videos on a phone

Like in calls, text, music, Tutanota and Organic Maps apps, some offline games, and occasional pic taking.

That's it. Ready to pay about US$500 for it. I've used old BB's for a long time, it worked, until I needed newer network capabilities...

Getting an AOSP os on a newish LG or Samsung does it, but I do prefer the square screen with physical keyboard form factor, and I'm a big fan of e-ink for eye strain and battery life.

Is it too niche for your taste ?
In addition to the clear example of Simpson’s paradox presented here: https://www.covid-datascience.com/post/israeli-data-how-can-... , I offer you the following intuition: if only 4 people in Israel were unvaccinated and 2 were in the hospital with 2 vaccinated patients, would you consider the vaccine effective? It’s important to look at the right numbers.
Best case, the Pfizer vaccine is 95% effective at preventing serious illness and death. This has been known since the beginning.

If you vaccinate 100% of the total population, you'll find that 100% of hospitalised and dead patients have been fully vaccinated.

TL;DR: This is only concerning if one doesn't properly grasp statistics. Most of us (self included) fail at this.
When working six months a year how are the work months spaced out? 6 months on and 6 off? Or every other month?

We're definitely watching this closely.

It's worth noting that, as with any medication, there is a cost-benefit trade-off. In this case it will depend on someone's current weight, what they've tried in the past, and the risks of other conditions e.g. heart disease, diabetes, and their past medical history. Each person that joins Fella has an in-depth discussion about this with an independent obesity physician and is welcome to speak it through with their own PCP too.

If we’re talking about real life, not programming:

Schema-on-compaction.

Each time you decide to “compact” or “synthesize” your data on a topic, create a new schema which organizes the data according to your insight.

I rearrange my bookshelves every 3-6 months, based on a new schema — because the ritual of doing that forces me to think about how all those topics relate. And each time I do, I find myself coming to new insights.
Are you talking about playing or pretend playing? The latter is more specific.

Notwithstanding any fallacies that may exist (can you point out a specific one?), the best available scientific evidence suggests that natural immunity is much stronger than the vaccines against COVID:

"Israelis who were vaccinated were 6.72 times more likely to get infected after the shot than after natural infection". https://archive.is/RlwBc
You're misrepresenting the situation. As the article says, only 58% of the population is vaccinated. Only 78.8% of the eligible population is vaccinated.
The further irony is, that this was EXACTLY Al-Qaeda's plan - to draw the west into a long, expensive war, providing endless recruitment opportunities: Those who suffer from it (each person you bomb makes > 1 person hate you) and also home grown lone wolf types in the US/UK/EU
Suspected CSAM is always reviewed—the actual files, not a hash or reduced-resolution version—by members of law enforcement before an arrest warrant is issued.

Police and prosecutors have to do that because they have to attest to the judge that it is actually CSAM. And, unlike any private party, law enforcement is legally authorized to possess and review CSAM, so they don’t run any risk (aside from the risk of seeing horrifying images).

Unlike SWATing, the police don’t have to go to a person’s house to review suspected CSAM that is submitted by a service provider like Google or Apple. So it’s possible that there are existing collisions for PhotoDNA that make innocent files trigger an alert. But no one would know externally because once law enforcement reviews the file and sees it is a false positive, they just ignore it. The account owner would never know. The service provider might do forensics if they interpret the incident as an attempted attack.
This is discussion forum. People here are supposed to be curious, thoughtful, and scientifically minded.
The country-wide median for SWEs in the US is about 110k$ AFAIK, the median household income in the US is 1.3 times that of Germany, which with an average German salary SWE salary of 46k€=53k$ (I know, should use the median here, but I couldn't find data on that) would predict an average US salary of 68k$.

US SWEs have it much better than Germans across the whole country, there's no need to deny that. Berlin is also a bit of a bubble.

Which reality are they living in? Moreover the title is confusing, such phones have existed and continue to exist for the past 30 years.
The article makes the argument that that sort of play is an analogue of pretend play, since it's using real hunting behavior but with the animal clearly understanding they're not actually going for the kill.
Stop empowering concepts that lack the biological properties of humans?

Take away the pointless abstraction and a government official is just a person, all the knowledge of biology applies.

Stop viewing people as more than a person. Elon Musk is just feeding the environmental damage feedback loop, not saving anything. Because Elon Musk is a human and humans are destroying the planet.

As soon as we give a concept validity as a social guide, the public loses its grip on reality.

We need social laws that empower people to solve problems we all have; hunger, education, healthcare. We needn’t let billionaires tell us how to go about managing that. They have no information advantage; just a political one.

I don’t believe Elon Musk and Rupert Murdoch are worth money.

I know the likelihood of being derided for this is high, but research shows living aware of logical fallacy, eases anxiety, makes us less susceptible to fake news, and agency manipulation.

You aren’t worth even a dollar to me, as believing such is a social game I refuse to play.
