Yes, our bodies have a specialized method for removing "old water" so it can be replaced by the fresh water one intakes. Urination. Your kidneys are working day and night to dump those "things in it that you would rather have not in your body" into your urine - not your sweat.

Animals that sweat are a minority. The idea that there are toxins that can only be collected and removed and by your sweat glands, instead of your kidneys, should be treated with suspicion.

I would also like to point out that even if one can detect the "presence of toxins" in sweat, however that is defined, it is not proof that sweat is an effective, efficient, or primary vector of their removal - it only proves that those toxins permeating your body happen to leach into your sweat. The rest of your body could either be removing 10000x as much of the same toxin every time you urinate compared to an hour of sweating, and the sweat could just have some insignificant dregs that happened to leach in - or there could be 100000x as much of the toxin remaining in your body no matter how much you sweat, either diffuse or concentrated in some non-sweat-gland-adjacent organs, making their removal through sweat completely ineffective.
It is that 1/10 that is in question by this article. My point is, if everyone else has it wrong they at least need to explain their reasoning, this article didn’t logically flow at least in my mind.
The media is likely reporting incorrectly here. Apple has come out and stated that they view the judgement as a major win for their side and Epic has come out and said they intend to appeal. The cliff notes I've seen on why are that Apple is legally not a monopoly, does not have to provide an alternative payment processor 'in-app' and may still legally charge a commission fee on each purchase, even if completed through an external payment processor.
That never even crossed my mind.
There's no incorrect equating or conflation of anything going on here. I'm familiar with both SMTP, HTTP and TLS on low level.
If you are into cheating, new licenses are just a cost of business. Even a new, full price AAA game is about the cost of a round of golf. Furthermore, with free to play and microtransactions/ongoing ways to get revenue from players, there's a growing incentive to either give the game away (Fortnite et all) or offer the game at a fairly low price (eg rainbow 6 siege, can be had for as little as $5).
Not, as far as I know it's all legal, just super annoying. I also don't see the point of going through the whole ritual so many times per day. I really started to notice because of the work-from-home situation after the COVID pandemic took off, if not for that it would have never come to my attention.
Look at all the recent brittney spears stuff. An insane legal world out there noone knows anything about. I never would have guessed a situation like that would be possible and for so long.
Maybe if Microsoft would make an MS teams feature that would operate more like discord then that random smalltalk would happen.
Having talked with a guy basically trying to recruit for it at the aerospace village at Defcon one year, I can say that working for the government without really working for them (e.g. not wearing suits) was a big part of how he sold it. That you're still a civilian and things like that, but get to work on cool stuff like hacking aircrafts

That’s what they call a “filter bubble”, though. (Still not convinced that’s an inherently evil thing, yeah, but somewhat convinced an implicit and unavoidable one may not be good.)
When I have dementia, what is a "fulfilling life"?

Personally, if I'm at the point where someone wants to give me haloperidol because of age related dementia, it is probably long past time for me to depart from this Earth.

I tried to get someone to lay down a few bags of mulch in SF and he wanted to charge me $7000. No, I did not miss a digit. I did it myself in about 2 hours including driving to Home Depot.

I was quoted an AC install for $36k. We already had central heat so this was a relatively easy install. I did manage to find someone that did it for $15k but even that took a lot of searching.

As far as permitted work? We didn't even attempt any of that except a rather big electrical job. It was prohibitively expensive, took months, and they didn't finish a ton of the work as we found out selling the home. This was after I got 7 estimates and went with who I thought was the "best".

I didn't move to Austin and I'm sure it's bad there, but I can't imagine it's worse than the bay. Actually this specific problem is the biggest reason we decided not to pick Austin.
Apple is not appealing.
Worth noting: most of us belong to several such communities, but we tend not to realize or consider it, as flat earthers do not realize what they do.
Apple has never been known to admit defeat. One can hardly go by their reactions as a barometer of how the case went.
I'm not aware of any that do not have horrible side effects. That is a value judgement I perhaps arrogantly think most people who have taken or been forced to take them (including myself) would agree with, maybe some people would not regard the side effects as all that bad. Certainly they can serve a good purpose and are a good tradeoff for many people who could not function as they'd like without them.

The issue is as you note in this instance, their use for something otherwise, that is, to force submission to make others' lives easier. It is not just in care homes that they are used for this purpose. Psychiatry as is practised within institutions such as prisons, schools, or care homes, serves as a way to legitimize dealing with difficult people using forced or coerced drugging, something we would not otherwise accept on the face of it. I don't see any good solution to this issue, especially not in the case of a care home where many residents will be deemed by all to not have capacity. Oversight can only do so much and when there are loopholes like the three excepted diagnoses mentioned in the article being exempted from public tallies, incentives will do the rest to close it.

EDIT: I'd like to add I have considered a bit more about other people I know who have taken or are taking antipsychotics (voluntarily), and they have never expressed extreme distress at their side effects. So I should have said 'can have' rather than 'have', my initial wording being influenced by my own experience.
So the solution to people being mistreated is to give them the option of dying instead?
Apple has not announced any intent to appeal.
People will always need to make arrangements for their deaths well in advance before the cognitive decline prevents them from being able to do so. Such has always been the case with or without legal euthanasia.
I was going to say. Academia is relatively dispersed, compared to the few tech hubs around the world. Creative people will be creative wherever they are. And there are plenty of cool open-source projects, from k8s to jupyter, that have been built by dispersed teams.
Several things come to mind:

* UX for sharing from screen underwent a lot of change but I really like where it is now

* Blur/custom backgrouns/together mode additions. The last one actually did help with a feeling of camaraderie

* Switching into a thread-first model really helped conversation continuity on the teams I worked with

* Various smoothing out of integrations; namely with sharepoint. When you're at MS you're using internal sharepoints for docs and slides, and it's nice having access to everything and having it all feel integrated.

* PPT presentation mode, for me, was way better than using actual PowerPoint to present things in my setup. Not sure if others felt that way, but I did.

Prior to the pandemic, it felt like a more-corporate version of slack with less features that ran crappier. But I went from "I don't like using this" to "this is fine and I can get my work done with it" by the end of 2020.
The sad thing is that my grandfather gave me a collection of “rare” coins when I lived in Ukraine. When I moved to the US I couldn’t take them with me. Would be worth some money today and more memories.
Cellebrite relies on compromised endpoints. It has little to do with the discussion being had on this thread.
What's the issue with S/MIME in such an organization?
As morbid as it sounds when you weight less you’ll live less, I’m pretty sure that living for 10 years fewer would reduce your carbon footprint by much more than losing 20-50 lbs.
This is far beyond that. The doctors are brazenly prioritizing "not being bothered" over the health of their patients.

Over prescription of antipsychotics is still common in US psychiatric facilities, and even if not there are alternatives, like very high dosages of SSRIs or other specific medications with complacency as a side effect.
Honk: An ActivityPub server with minimal setup and support costs
They still should involve a lot of beer, if you ask me.
They can have professional home care nurses/aides when needed. Sure, that costs money but the nursing home isn't free either.
Seems like such licenses only exist to help monopolies stay monopolies. Uber turned taxi rides into an free market—-bad news for taxi drivers and their lobbyists. The French law courts seem to be working their hardest to ensure that France will never become a more innovative economy
The previous post literally said "it goes to the floor", so clearly was talking about sweat dripping down. That obviously requires enough un-evaporated sweat on your skin for droplets to form.

And even in the context of dry sauna, are you saying the mentioned toxins will all evaporate? Because if not, they will actually accumulate on your skin (whereas in a bath they will be diluted by the bathwater).
As a Medium author (1), I'm very content with return. On a good month I made more than 500 and when I don't feel like writing I can still make good 200-300 per month.

The Photographs of 9/11
>"Sparta, the city, was not 80% slaves. That stat only true about the state. This distinction only matters because the author is critizing sparta society on the basis that Sparta's seat of power was slave-cornucopia. But this is false. Sparta the city is mostly spartan citizens, making the author's criticism-by-sleight-of-hand dishonest"

Except, as the author points out, the Spartan system that he's criticizing requires the Spartiates to have a plantation of helots to support them so they can spend all their time training for battle. A man in ancient Sparta could only be a Spartiate if they had a plantation of helots (if they lose their plantation they lose their status as a citizen), so the helots were just as much a part of Spartan society as they were.

Right, every _share_ purchased is also a share sold (in principle), but that price will not usually be the same price that the current seller originally purchased the share at themselves. As a result, you can have inflow/outflows in dollar amounts. For individuals stocks, with increasing/decreasing market caps, but of course there can be more money in the market overall.
There are ActivityPub relays: they are actors that re-broadcast anything sent to them to anyone who subscribes.

They are still decentralised, the aim is to populate the federated timeline. Obviously, the visibility is still a subset of the network.
yes fully agreed, it can be bad

but there's a political version of a filter bubble which is getting the same news, but opposite interpretations

Kids do not choose to be born. We can't expect them to serve us when we get old. They owe us nothing. We forced them into this world.
> Antipsychotic drugs — which for decades have faced criticism as “chemical straitjackets” — are dangerous for older people with dementia, nearly doubling their chance of death from heart problems, infections, falls and other ailments. But understaffed nursing homes have often used the sedatives so they don’t have to hire more staff to handle residents.

This problem will only get worse. A lot of it is driven by demographics:

(1) fewer children being born means fewer blood-relatives to share the home care

(2) although medical treatments can often improve lifetimes, they can't necessarily improve life quality

(3) as people stop dying from ever more diseases (e.g., cancer, cardiovascular disease), they'll start to succumb to psychological and physical ailments resulting from isolation and sedentary lifestyles, and these have no cures - only treatments.

(4) people often don't live where they grew up, which means that married couples can face a double-whammy of declining health of both parents, right about the same time and a geographical conflict that gets worse with time.

Those claiming the solution is multi-generational households haven't done the math. And I doubt they've attempted to care for a geriatric relative with rapidly-compounding medical conditions while trying to stay afloat financially after having raised a kid or two themselves.

And then there's the problem of medical costs that relentlessly rise much faster than inflation, putting ever more pressure on nursing homes, families, and governments.

A big squeeze is coming as the boomers enter extreme old age in droves while needing round-the-clock care, possibly for a decade or more, for geriatric conditions without cures.
Images of the wall came hours if not days later, at first basically all the coverage had was one nearby road camera moved to show smoke.

There has been ample evidence of what happened. Though there is little video footage, only a few frames from low quality security cams, there are many pictures of the wreckage showing debris from a plane.

At 10 AM on 9/11 it was unclear what happened. Now it's very clear.
More crazy, in the actual ruling, the judge states that even if developers use a different payment system than IAP, Apple is still entitled to the 30% commission and can bill the developer later. Not using IAP saves you not a penny.
I’m on Abilify and Vraylar. Makes me feel normal. Love it.

I think Wall Street missed that part
We are in agreement as to which part you were replying to, then :)

> I don't agree the growing features is an issue.

And I’m not arguing that it’s an issue in itself, either. I’m arguing that it is an issue when allocated development effort in preference to growing an ecosystem, because Matrix is both (inherently) bound to have an difficult time at it and (factually) not in a good place right now from that point of view. And that is my perception of the protocol developers’ priorities.

(Once there are a half-dozen independent server implementations and a decent number of clients, all with reasonably complete coverage of the current spec, this argument becomes irrelevant, so I’m not pleading featuritis here.)
We see it in education, healthcare, and at work. The path of least resistance is to do what makes things the easiest to manage, not what leads to the best outcomes.

As the other commenter noted, MacOS is not Linux.

You should give it a go (even on the same hardware) on Linux.
Extremely out of my league here, but it seems logical to me that if there is a mutation, it only initially happens in a single organism. Like a single specific bear might mutate, but certainly not all of them at the same time. That organism then needs to mature (if not already) and reproduce to spread the new mutation. It seems it would take several generations of successful breeding and on top of that successful passing on of the mutated gene to have the mutation actually spread beyond just the initial one. Reproduction rate of the organism would also play a huge factor I'd imagine, like a mouse can have hundreds of offspring in a single year due to a 21 day gestation period compared to a human.
Don't be daunted, it just takes time. You'll get faster at it with practice, but the first step is simply brute force, or at least it was for me. Take a picture of something simple, recreate it in 3D with exacting detail. When something doesn't match you drill down, find the optical phenomenon that you weren't modeling correctly, and fix it.

That's it. There's no shortcut to being good at this stuff, you just have to learn how the real world works and make sure that when you're simulating it in the computer you're using physically correct numbers for everything. Relentlessly comparing what you're doing to photographs is the only way to truly master the skill. It's a lot easier to take a step back and do stylized realism once you can nail the real thing.

That being said this is fantastically executed. I'm especially loving the ability to mix the baked GI live, it's a great effect for static scenes like this.

P.S. Ok I probably lied when I said there are no shortcuts. Here are a few:

- use a physically based (preferably unbiased) renderer

- use only energy conserving materials

- use light-probes to light your scene
Probably like a Bloomberg Terminal subscription, 25K a year or so
I see why Medium is good for writers, and also somehow good for readers (it shows related articles which are sometimes valuable).

The problems with much of the audience is not that they do monetization, but how they do it.

Like many readers, I don't read enough Medium articles to pay $5/mo for it. I don't mind paying $5/mo for something useful, or sending a one-time donation. I gladly would pay, say, 25-50¢ for a good article, if I could do it without subscription. Such a commitment just feels unnecessary.

One way to do it is ads — good thing Medium is not pushing ads at me! My thanks. But there's still no easy way to pay a small amount.

I see how microtransactions are not economical. I wish Medium offered a "casual reader" plan, where I post, say, $10, and they go to pay per-article fees, not limited by time, that is, I'd not need to replenish it monthly if I haven't run into zero balance. This could be a gateway for more readers who just don't see the need to commit to a subscription. It could even lead to more conversions to subscribers.
> CIA management prevented this information from being disseminated by FBI agents

This was at least partly due to the Freeh / Reno policy of limiting info sharing between the agencies.
It was in a footnote in the ruling which is only starting to get attention.

Apparently the 30% rule in a different contract than the one that requires IAP. So it still stands.

So… you can’t use your own system, and if you link to a website instead, Apple can knock at the door each month and grab what you would have paid. Shallow victory there.
Good to know! I haven't had to touch an Oracle database in almost 15 years, but one never knows.

It doesn't have to be too old actually. I was just 13 when everything happened. And I do remember that day very clear. Somehow a lot of small details are still in my head. Like the couch I was sitting on or how I was just watching live news all day long or the buildings pictures on TV.

I was based in Moscow, Russia. And I was politically brainwashed fairly good (thx, Dad). Means USA was some kind of world villain center for the small me. Even though it was crystal clear for me, that 9/11 is something which should never happen to anyone. Moreover recent terrorist attacks [0] in Russia were still very fresh in my memory. Well, it was just a couple of months after I finally stopped thinking in before-sleep time whether I will survive the night or not. 9/11 helped to revive that fear.

I thought this was pretty clear?

That verge article that was on here the other day (which apparently said the opposite in the title/headline(I ignore those)) had relevant text right at the top. Shortened for brevity, emphasis mine, I'm not a lawyer.

"Apple is: 'permanently restrained . . . from prohibiting developers from including in their apps . . . calls to action that direct customers to purchasing mechanisms'"

I was kinda baffled by all the talk about APIs for IAPs and what have you. I feel kinda dumb for not realizing the headline was off.

Question, is my reading here off?

for reference the full quote was:

Under the new order, Apple is: "permanently restrained and enjoined from prohibiting developers from including in their apps and their metadata buttons, external links, or other calls to action that direct customers to purchasing mechanisms, in addition to In-App Purchasing and communicating with customers through points of contact obtained voluntarily from customers through account registration within the app."
This reminds me of trying to make a game and realizing that game dev is mostly not about programming. The most impressive part of this scene is how beautiful the assets are and how well the lighting has been configured.

If I worked with three.Js you’d get some spheres and a cube!
Give me a page in billing listing everything that can use money, let me enable/disable them manually (this is mostly to allow restricted dev accounts) and select which, if any, should be allowed over the bill total I set. Opt-in, but yes, do let me kill every EC2 instance if I choose.
One can't help but wonder if the arrow is pointing the wrong way in part of that quote. Perhaps those founders end up being "high potential" because they were a cohort of people given wads of cash and institutional support that only expect a 5%-10% success-rate?

Well. One type of long distance trip might be visiting relatives - if they have a charging point as a result of this then great.
In NL we used to have door-to-door collectors of metals, paper, vegetable matter ('schillenboer') and glass. Then it all got industrialized and a couple of large companies got exclusivity from the municipalities. Who now have to supply them with mandatory minimums in tonnage or face steep contractually agreed upon fines. And here we are trying hard to reduce the amount of waste. It's such a complete fuck-up. Every yard now looks like a miniature recycling center, with up to five containers in some municipalities (we only have four, but they take up a lot of space and the smell is incredible). (the categories we have are 'remainder','plastic','vegetable/green','paper', and they are emptied irregularly and have a strange mix of capacities, in total there is about 1000 liters of volume across those four containers, and they take up 2 square meters).
If you’re asking how does it stop, as someone else mentioned: when the government decides to stop participating in the market.

If you’re asking what happens when this falls apart, my guess is in hyper-consolidation of wealth. That can mean the decreased wealth of the super-rich but with the far greater decrease of wealth of everyone else.
