It was my firm belief that many of the angry mobs at vote counting offices around the 2020 elections were cover for planting these types of devices. That is very much out of the Roger Stone playbook. The lack of anomalies has shaken that belief… but I do hope that the existence of these types of devices is included in security training for future polling staff.

I agree fully, but in general, suicide isn't a conclusion reached by completely logical thought. Sadly, there are usually other factors at play negatively influencing the thought process.
I want to defend our borders.

I am very pro-immigration, and I have seen firsthand the crazy hoops that well-qualified people need to jump through to come to this country, and I think those hoops are wrong. I think migrant worker programs are wrong. I think that we, as a country, are wealthy enough to let many people in and that those people will be an asset to our country.

But I still want to defend our borders.

I don't think that there is a dichotomy between wanting strong border protections and also being disappointed in the actions that the US government has taken for 80+ years across the globe (and domestically) in the name of freedom and democracy.
The UK is much less than a super power, but it is more capable of projecting power globally than most middle-ranking countries, largely because of the Royal Navy.
iOS 15 prompt: “personalized ads”
I guess I don’t understand the feature development part of the question. If you have enough users on the mobile or tablet web app and the specific PWA feature (like offline) makes the app more useful, then you would invest in it to the degree warranted and wouldn’t worry about installs, just usage. If your company is dead set on putting all effort into the native app, regardless of additional benefit relative to improving other platforms, and you’re looking at changing that priority, that’s different, of course.

We’ve found trying to drive home screen installs to be generally useless. But announcing new mobile web app features through the usual channels (“what’s new” monthly emails etc) does seem to affect usage.
It makes sense from their point of view. They think they are headed for troubled times, and thus want to promote traditional masculinity, which is at odds with feminine-looking male celebrities. They want their youth to have examples closer to Stakhanov than to kpop idols.

Yes of course. They’re also planned to have a slightly modified dragon with a external camera attached as well.

I also use it for this reason, but I've found that these activities can often be much longer than my the battery can last on my S6 in airplane mode with an activity running (~6 hours).

For this reason I'm considering a watch with better battery life built for this purpose such as Garmin or Coros. The recently announced Coros Vertix 2 has a mind-blowing 140 hours battery life with full GPS tracking [1].

I don't foresee Apple reaching this level of battery performance anytime soon, specifically because of the other reasons you list why the Apple Watch is useful. I wonder if we'll see a trend of people owning multiple wearables for specific reasons, with the Apple Watch being a daily driver.

The whole motivation for the source article is that this tradeoff is no longer the case. Case numbers are high and rising fast, with NSW edging close to numbers in other countries, and the Australian government no longer believes it will be possible to bring them back down.
If you've got trees and hills, you're probably going to need a roof mounted antenna, and likely a person to install it for you. It can get tricky to find someone who does that; the goto person in the bay area retired and I don't know if there's a new person. When I moved to the Seattle area, it was a challenge finding someone here.
They have 2 sets of RAM and a RAD hardened FPGA that checks for bitfips in the memory. It can restart one that quickly that it can do it mid-flight. It's amazing what possibilities this could open up as doing intensive image processing on RAD hardened is expensive, or not even possible as it lags behind the state of the art.

Sure they do -- I can pick any basis I want for saying their ideas are worse.

I can make that basis arbitrary (because I don't like their names), or I can ground it in appeals to things that people value widely. One can get lost in the idea that things are meaningless on a purely narrative/mental basis, but you're embedded in a biological matrix that will very likely re-orient you on the idea that some things matter if you pay attention to it. If nothing else, everyone acts as if suffering matters and acts to reduce it personally and in their close circles, so that's a pretty solid baseline to engage. There are questions about what it means to reduce suffering and perhaps even people like Stalin thought they were reducing it, but once you've agreed that reducing suffering is meaningful then you have a standard and can talk in terms of observed results and dynamics around it.
Got it. If the installer doesn't work, try building it yourself :)

This and the fact that these handheld lasers are shined into crowds is the reason almost all laser pointer except the dimmest ones are now illegal in Switzerland.

I was in Italy last week and a street vendor was selling decorative lasers and shinning it into the crowds. These "toys" were clearly strong enough to cause permanent eye damage. They should not be legal in this form factor.

> They have meaning because we give them meaning. Isn't that liberating?

Liberating from what? There being some objective or higher meaning to it all? Would that be oppressive?

While I agree that we give things meaning, it's all rather arbitrary and empty to think about it that way.
Yes you're right, getting the Emirates ID depends on the visa type. But, there are lots of expatriates and people visiting for work or school who can get it/already have it. You can also almost always sign up using a passport in person and sometimes online too.
I think that is an OS limitation not an app store limitation, and still disproves the claim that no appstore not even fdroid allows installing old versions or makes it easy. fdroid does allow it and even makes it easy.

For branches, lots of app developers just make a new app for that, and those can be installed concurrently. You can't do it conveniently yourself as an end user, the app developer has to do it. But they would probably have to publish branches too, so nodifference.
Yes it's a bagpipe. It's called Mezwed here in north africa. It's made of a single goat skin, although it's not hollowed out, the animal is skinned normally but carefully as to not leave holes or thin sections. Then it's stitched back to the shape of the bagpipe.

I think the current "3 copies out at a time" model also has a 100 borrows and then the library has to buy it again. limitation. (The number is probably higher than 100, though.)

Edit: I was wrong, it's lower than 100. From the article:

> In 2011, HarperCollins introduced a new lending model that was capped at twenty-six checkouts, after which a library would need to purchase the book again.
I came up with similar thoughts after losing someone I loved. Helped immensely to think of time as a dimension. Even though I'm trapped on a one way course, those previous moments still exist. Even though the person I loved is dead and I'll never talk to her again, those moments of her life will always exist. As far as I know, nothing can ever erase it.

There will always be a place in the universe where she's alive and happy. A place that I'll probably never be able to visit but still is immensely comforting knowing it exists.

I guess that's my version of a secular afterlife. Not entirely comforting as all the moments of suffering still exist too, somewhere. But still, it means there's a permanence to even the most impermanent things.

With React Native Web, that's exactly what this gives you.

Basically you get a PWA for free with your app. All "native" features that you have can then use web device apis if they exist.

Basically React Native Web allows you to have a lite version of your app that lives on the web.

"Shouting fire in a a crowded theater" is the most consistently overused, misunderstood, and tiresome arguments levied by censorship apologists against the ideals of free speech. It's also completely incorrect, as the actual act of shouting the word fire in a crowded theater is most assuredly protected under the first amendment. A casual reading of literature makes this obvious[1].

Thankfully the use of this argument is generally the loudest signal that can be generated by those who haven't spend much time dealing with the subject in any depth, so it's always a useful tool to gauge how much energy to spend engaging with someone on the topic.

In any case, when activists refer to Free Speech, we are generally referring to the greater principle of Freedom of Speech[2], which has a much broader philosophical and societal scope than the narrow definition of legally protected speech under the first amendment of the US constitution. Apostles for the movement like myself are in favor of greatly expanding the scope of Free Speech protections in the United States and the world at large, and are more generally committed to engineering a deeper appreciation for the broader concept of Freedom of Speech and the enormous influence it bears on our trajectory towards a free society.

Overall they were and are more of a liability than asset to many sites. Still, I hope they stay a vibrant part of the web. Discourse is the go-to platform for new forums IMHO.

>I've personally noticed two big schools of though take root in Millennial and Gen-Z folks.

Personally I think this is due to the fact that in westernized nations they are VERY well off all things considered. The downside of this is that life is so easy they're lost and have no purpose. So, they make a purpose by creating issues where they do not exist or turning what are very small problems into gigantic ones.

I'm starting to think that after a few generations people are unable to relate to actual atrocities and they start to pursue things that inevitably lead down bad roads as proven by history. We may be doomed to constantly repeat these authoritarian moments. I guess people have to experience it to understand it unfortunately.

As you can see in my above comment they never respond, they just downvote when I bring this up because they know it's true. They do not want to read things that upset them so they trend towards censorship and having government create laws to remove any chance they might get upset.
So we can’t use third party keyboards with Apple devices? No thanks.
95th percentile is pretty much industry standard charging for B2B connections (although my understanding of how places like openreach charge ISPs is that it's a bit different to normal 95%) - but it does neatly map to 'you use more data, so you cost your ISP more money to serve you'.

The shared wholesale model does have some advantages though - it means that we can have a wide selection of retail ISPs without having the pot luck of living in the right coverage area - there are cheap and cheerful options, and there are premium options aiming at a more niche userbase - it means ISPs can differentiate on what they do after handover, eg better peering/transit, provision of v4/v6 static addressing, better support, etc etc. It means they get country-wide availability basically immediately without the cost of trying to build out to everyone.

FWIW, there are unlimited ISPs in the UK on the same model, but A&A seem to feel that it is not sustainable in their niche of the market.
