Is it that hard to understand that many people are uncomfortable or unclear where the the line is drawn between civil liberties and state powers/majority rule. You might say that covid mandates are clearly inside the lines, but that isn't a declaration of where the line is.

Oura Ring 3 Review: A Missed Opportunity for Wearable Tech
Thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate it! If you have any questions or requests, free to ping me!
I think it applies more along the lines of "free" products where "you are the product" comes into play. It may entirely be biased based on who I know, but I know more tech people who refuse to have a Facebook because of tracking than I do non-tech people.
I think it is Google. I recently noticed how different my returned search results were if I'm logged in vs logged out of Google.
This is used for popular game engines. It's not a bad model. If you make nothing you pay nothing if you profit you pay a %. It removes the need to buy upfront.
Google is over emphasizing most recent results. Just last night, I was looking up something about a medical treatment, and all the results were covid + treatment, none of which was what I wanted.

I’m glad I remembered the -keyword trick to exclude the term.
I assume it's tooling costs for the custom enclosure + rubber membrane but I too was confused why that was never clarified.
...by making the titles more enticing for users to click on. Doesn't seem like that great of a solution. I would rather they went the other way by prepending "[possibly spam]" or "[possibly clickbait]" to the title.

There's an arrogance to this whole process that amuses me. I can picture the dev team responsible for this code sitting in a meeting with the lead dev saying "it appears that some idiot web authors are using titles that have extra information placed in brackets! Idiots. Well, let's brainstorm possible solutions to this problem so we can protect our idiot users from this obvious menace..."

Leaving them alone and giving us back pagination of search results would solve this problem for me. Or they could demote these sites that they think need their titles rewritten in their search algorithm.
I can’t imagine that Google was willing to play ball on this. Google has aggressively leveraged their control of their properties to block Microsoft in the past (e.g. YouTube on Windows Phone). I expect that Microsoft reached out to Google about Android support on Windows and Google promptly said that they aren’t going to give up a Chrome OS advantage.

Disclosure: I work at Microsoft. But I have no insider information on this.
I wonder whether Afghanistan experience encourage embassies to voice this concerns.

Also thinking whether this has impact on geo-politics. Does it encourage war as hints that USA gave up or the opposite, you are preparing for the worst and ready to push back.
> Their choice to not be vaccinated or wear masks results in people we love dying.

If they are one of the 146 million Americans who recovered from Covid, they are at low risk of reinfection and thus transmission.

The same cannot be said for Covid-naive, vaccinated people who can be infected and silently infect others due to symptoms being suppressed by the vaccine.
How many devices do you use your wireless headphones with? If it's >1 (or maybe 2), the experience is horrid in my experience even with the AirPods unless (in the AirPods case) they are all Apple devices with logic in the OS for handing off the connection.

I could not use my AirPods with my old Windows laptop because everytime it got in range it would steal them away from any device, even sometimes when in sleep (the Surface Pro's crappy sleep mode may have had something to do with it).
A tremendous achievement in an incredibly short period of time. Congrats to the absolutely stellar Anduril team and to America and her allies for getting better technology to save lives.

Authoritarian state that tries to reject the influence of another authoritarian state...

I’ll take “Things that are not at all ironic” for $500, Pete.
You got data on that? The studies I’ve seen show that boosters help slow the rate of infection. Ex. https://www.pfizer.com/news/press-release/press-release-deta...
Until their primary/main client is/are governments.
Does it also make Android development easier on Windows? i.e. can I build an Android app and open it via the subsystem, without having to run an emulator?
Totally wild speculation: NK is assisting Russia with cyber warfare leading up to the imminent Ukraine invasion, and someone in "the west" is taking them offline to reduce the effectiveness.
Yes exactly. There's entire classes of contracts reserved exclusively for small companies and startups even. Many exist only because of the constant pipeline of SBIR/STTR money.
Very true, once I got adapted to carb free I generally don't eat dinner now. A small snack if I want but nothing heavy really helps sleep quite a bit.
Where is that definition from? I couldn't find it in DSM-5.

Also, why is the Census (or any collective action) more important than an individual's subjective view of privacy (or any private thought)?
You get used to it. I don't even see the code. All I see is blonde, brunette, redhead.
Exploring Mach-O, Part 1
This is only what I noticed about myself: the first step to getting out of a rut seems to be... taking any first step.

What I mean is: usually when I end up in a rut, it's because I had been getting into one for a while and only finally noticed. At that point, the rut is usually starting to get baked into a daily/weekly habit. To get out of it means refocusing on things that matter to me: fulfilling personal relationships, family, personal health/growth, intellectual curiosity, and career growth, not in any particular order, and usually I have a decent idea of where to start, but the rut keeps me from starting.

So getting out of the rut involves taking that first step. The second step becomes easier, then the third becomes easier, and so on. It takes extra willpower but I find that it works as long as I remind myself it's worth it.
> dongle

There's your problem. Dongles = cheap hardware to patch missing pieces of your expensive hardware. It's hard to find good ones even if you want to. One of the big reasons so many of us hated the TouchBar era of Macbooks was the reliance on dongles, which inevitably flake out at the worst times possible and cause weird bugs when you're trying to concentrate.
>US where every single individual believes they are entitled to some special rights and privileges because of entitlement.

Most of these are encoded in law in the Bill of Rights. The US government is doing its damndest to ignore and/or circumvent these rights though on several levels like surveillance, arrest for peaceful protest/assembly/redress, arrest for refusing to ID without suspicion of a crime, civil asset forfeiture, etc.

Once you lose these rights, they are historically impossible to get back, in most cases, without some sort of long term violence.
I think this is a major factor. A lot of the hardware gains over the that period have been used by developers to make their own lives easier.

When I was in university made a small 2d game engine in J2SE. Performance wasn't great, so I had to use sprite sheets, pallette swaps, masking 256 color images etc just to make things playable in most cases.

When I graduated I decided to get into mobile development, to my surprise doing things like just dumping a bunch transluscent PNG's into the workspace were recommended in the docs. Seems like the web had a similar trajectory.
You have to additionally consider that Snowden resides in a country under a "managed democracy" (to be charitable), and widely believed to be currently undergoing preparations for war. He probably expects his communication freedoms to be curtailed very, very shortly. To him it's definitely not a drill.
Not going to lie, I was expecting another Bitcoin bashing article.
The vast, vast majority of Americans are doing their own laundry, house cleaning, gardening, and driving.

I know quite a few households in the $200k+ income, and no one has a driver, everyone does their own laundry, and only a few have a house cleaner come by every couple weeks.
I own a pair of Airpods for work, and they're fine for a couple hours of Zoom calls every day. For non-work, I have a pair of headphones with a lightning input. It's still annoying, because I can't charge my phone or transfer data while listening to music, and I still disagree with Apple's courageous decision to remove the 3.5mm jack, but it's an okay solution.
I'm not attacking you or asking you to defend a position, I'm asking for clarification because I legitimately do not understand what the issue is. I totally agree with you, it is not helping anyone to become defensive over this. I don't understand what the attitude was, it seems to have been fixed 8 years ago? Did I miss something?
>As a user, I'm fine with Google counteracting this.

Would you be fine with Google changing the work of all authors? Maybe "The Brothers Karamazov" doesn't get enough clicks and Google decides it needs a better title. Or "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" doesn't quite convey what Google thinks it should...

How is that different?
The design of the NT kernel was very well done and doing this type of thing is one of their explicate goals. Microsoft did a great job of getting great people to do great things in the early 1990s and they are still benefiting from that. (though in the 1990s computer hardware wasn't really up to running NT)
I wouldn’t consider a split screen MD editor distraction free.

My markdown editor needs to be just one combined edit/preview window. Either with Typora like WYSIWYG or some syntax highlighting.
"Why doesn't Amazon stop this from happening?" is a different question from "How does this happen?".

Any system Amazon puts in place will have a lot of false positives that require human review. And that is entirely aside from the fact that underhanded sellers will try to flood such a system with automated disputes until Amazon relents.

> The ones I've seen are WAY off when you look deeper.

You're assuming these disparate merges happen in a single step.
It seems that part of the problem in the US (at least the part I live in) is that it can be very difficult to find a maid, nanny, even a gardener who takes pride in their work. I'm sure they are out there and their customers value them and try not to lose them. I've found that using a service like Handy for cleaning never works because the workers tend to clearly really resent doing that kind of work and seem to not care if you give them a bad rating. Of course, a big part of the problem is the wage for this kind of work is not even close to a living wage in a lot of areas.
It becomes pretty apparent to me, often, that the author wanted to put something on their resume, or wished to spice up a boring task.
>Restrictions on the underlying drone tech would be effective for now.

RC planes have been around for decades and are mechanically very simple. High-performance quadcopters and their component parts and widely available on sites like Ali Express. Everything that’s difficult to DIY in a modern UAV- microchips, gyros, cameras, radios- are necessary component of any regular smartphone. This genie isn’t going back in the bottle.
If the government knows it, the same data should be available to all citizens. Traffic camera feeds, voter data, medicare claims, everything. With minor, very narrow restrictions for the very latest military secrets.
Car ownership, especially in Manila, is also not the norm there. There's over 110 million people on a handful of small islands. Also, public transit is way more efficient there than anywhere in North America.
This is a bit above my paygrade but I think this type of transaction doesn't depend on any state, so you can expect it to succeed even if it gets mined a few days after you submit it?

If so you could just set the gas price to 50 gwei and wait.
Hello Qiu Shifu, hello world.Do you know? We appeared to be cool and smart when we first met. The truth is, we are both childish and stupid (in a good way). We do not know each other for very long, but we get use to each other faster than light. We think alike. We have similar minds. We know what the other wants without much asking. We make fun of each other. We make fun of the blockchain. We make fun of the world. Yes, you and me are fun-making-massive-attacks terrorists. Who are you? I remember you elegantly spilled strawberry milk out of your mouth on a bullet train from Shanghai to Beijing like my young sister. You asked me to conduct pyramid schemes with your twinkling big beautiful eyes. You encouraged me to travel to India and North Korea like a Hajid encouraging his fellows. You and me climbed up the tallest chimney in 798 factory trembling like a spring chicken. You woke me up and asked me to run with you and enjoyed Jian Bing Guo Zi for breakfast. You are so abnormal, and I enjoy doing all these with you. What are you? You are a very smart thinker and you are smart enough to do anything be it investing to marketing. You dreamt about being an artist and I think I will be your broker. You are always full of beautiful passion and dreams about the world and I wish they will all come true. No, they are coming true. You are so cute, and I think nothing else can be even as close to your cuteness.Your eyes are more beautiful than the most beautiful lakes. I do not only want to stand on the tip of your nose and dive into the water, I want to be the pisces that swim in the water forever, one fish in each of your eyes. Out of the water, I die. Here and now, on this Ethereum Block, I am ledgering on the network just to tell the entire world how lucky I am to have found the most astonishingly adorable woman since I am a very normal grown man with barely basic programming skills. You fascinate and inspire me. You influence me for the better. You re the on my top list, you are the objective of my objective, like an angel that rescued my stupid lonely soul in David Tao s songs; and at the same time like a cult religious leader running pyramid scheme that takes my ass for sacrafice and I can never say no, and instead I recklessly offer you my properties, passion and love. For every minute that I have been with you, it is full of happiness and joy. Can I have so more of this in the rest of my time? More minutes, more hours, more days, and even years? There is only one solution to that problem. You, be mine. O shifu
You step away from neutral as soon as you introduce "version of quality". There will always be an introduction of bias and judgement calls that need to be made to get useful results, especially because bad actors on the web are part of the geography that aren't going away. Just like the press trying to force a neutral "view from nowhere" leads to confused and problematic journalism that can be exploited by bad actors.

A display mounted on a flat surface between your hands seems like a ready path to neck trauma.
One good thing that has come out of the discourse in this discussion is the amplifying and highlighting of honest doctors and medical professionals. Vinay Prasad, Z-Dogg, Marty Makary, Jay Battacharya, etc. People who are not afraid to call good where it's good, and bad where it's bad.
Even for orchestras that don't publish albums, the musicians earn more.
Heart-breaking and frightening. My sister is a teacher and has never been so demotivated and defeated. Needs a substantial investment in training new teachers and adding infrastructure, and a genuine commitment to improving the system (not just adding more testing and hoop-jumping).
I don't think that's what GP was suggesting at all.. everyone in the thread agrees that feedback is good.

However, the opposite extreme, spending time in meetings where lot of good ideas get proposed but most of them get killed, because somebody doesn't like a detail, or nobody champions them strongly enough, is not a good learning experience either.
nothing has been "proven" yet. the bar for proof is extremely high and requires multiple groups to replicate results with different samples.
I believe the current mainstream science with large support is that COVID entered the US some time before late December and the earliest trusted samples are from China, november, with the virus entering the US before the Chinese detected it in Wuhan.

I found others while googling
This cord works (although I found that they helped to pull the airpods out of my ear): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B089B5T9L7?psc=1

These hooks are a much better solution: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B089B5T9L7?psc=1
Despite their flimsiness, they have not failed on me once while running, etc.

Both of these "solutions" have the obnoxious problem of needing to be removed to charge the airpod. The Powerbeats Pro has built in hooks that are nice and sturdy, but the case is obnoxiously massive compared to the airpods case.

My problem is that I must have freakishly small ear canals, because neither of these earbuds actually fit into my ears - despite trying nearly every aftermarket replacement eartip.

The Shokz openrun pro doesn't need to go into my ear and kinda works, but the sound quality sucks for music and the head loop protrudes from the back of my head and isn't adjustable.

Over ear headphones don't work with hats or bike helmets, so those are only good sometimes.

My next step is to pay $150(!!) for a custom piece of silicon to attach to the airpods (which will still have to come on and off for charging): https://www.adv-sound.com/products/eartune-fidelity-custom-f...

I guess I could pay $500 for these: https://www.adv-sound.com/products/m5-tws-custom

Or maybe I could get surgery to enlarge my ear canal (haha)

If anyone reading this has any better advice, I'm all ears (hahaha)
Sigh -
Any more details on the "masks don't work thing"? It's news to me, and i don't see how that could have changed - masks, even cloth ones, but even more so for surgical and N95 types, drastically limit how much virus you spread when you're contagious; and especially N95 also offer some protection against catching it. Especially for crowded places, masks seem like a no brainer.
Thanks for that, wasn't aware of AP involvement with the Nazis before.
Would be nice if he broke out the $10k. My guess is mostly the cost of an injection mold for the enclosure.

Fake vaccine cards are everywhere. It’s a public health nightmare
Quality adjusted life years (QALYs) have been used in the UK for a long time, to evaluate whether and when treatments are offered through the NHS. It has its flaws, but its a good start. Generally a therapy needs to cost less than £30k per QALY. There are of course finessing processes to these decisions.
You should check out the interviews, hear it directly from the source.
except the shark isn't trying to kill you but to place a buoy on your back with it's mouth..
The rate is what matters. Vaccination is one of the easiest things we can do to affect that rate.

In terms of ethics, yeah I care what other people do. I also care that they stop at red lights so they don’t murder me with their car. We set rules as a society when individual decisions can affect group outcomes.
I'm not the parent, but McDonald's coffee in the US is far superior to Starbucks for typical drip coffee. The flip side is that Starbucks has more options than McDonalds for coffee drinks.

> Tested by Experts is obviously clickbait; nobody's going to say [Tested by novices].

Nobody would write [Tested by novices] into their headline, but leaving out the part in the brackets would leave it open if it was tested by experts or novices. So in this case the removed bit does provide some information.
I get the idea behind this site, but sadly the correct answer has been yes for several years.

Oh. You could be right. I don't remember, I just naively assumed because it had a different shortcut icon it was a different program.

Do you know of an alternative? I was partially hoping that when I mentioned it someone would say, "I did the same thing but now I use X."
I totally get this. Back in the day when I was a kid, we went to the local library and read about the world. When the librarians weren’t serving me by “checking out books” to me, they were busily putting new and improved titles on the books in receiving.

/s

Seriously. Google is starting to feel less like the librarian of the net (we index the world) and more like the Truman show: we craft your reality.
Zero trolling: If locals pay 1 EUR and you and me paid 10 or 20 EU, is it so bad? I am can accept when the UNESCO world heritage site is top notch. Yes, 20 EUR is expensive, but so is the entrance fee for the Vatican Museum or Le Louvre (Paris). Real Question: Does Italy or France have a programme to allow low income students to enter these world class museums cheaply? It would be great if someone can comment about it!
The case against masks at school
I'm using "Europe" largely in the sense of "influence sphere of EU/Germany". I'd count the UK (and countries like Norway, Switzerland) into this influence sphere, even if they're not officially members.
> result of a group of people choosing to each five cheeseburgers a day is a tiny increase in the average load on the health care system over many many years.

You are exaggerating and minimizing all at the same time. It doesn't take five cheeseburgers a day to wreck your body. The healthcare system is overloaded, and has been for years precisely because of how many health issues come from our poor diets.

> The American Diabetes Association (ADA) released new research on March 22, 2018 estimating the total costs of diagnosed diabetes have risen to $327 billion in 2017 from $245 billion in 2012, when the cost was last examined.

These numbers have only gone up.
Yes, but private industry companies can go bankrupt if they're too incompetent. Governments can too of course, but they typically take a lot longer to do so.
You getting a lot of latency over wifi?

I find wifi almost entirely dies around the time I get wonky latency... but having said that everyone's wifi situation is different depending on network, building / home structure and etc.
More annoyingly for me they didn't show up in "Where is" or what that feature is called in English, even if they had power and were close to my phone and had been for hours.

I recently wasted an hour or so thinking I must have left them behind at kids soccer training while they were just out of sight next to me.
Wow, this is one triggered ego! "I'm more important than animals because I said so!!!". Hilarious watching you throw this little tantrum.
