It's always great to see new software titles land on F-Droid. The rub with messengers is that for each new messenger we've further fragmented our ability to communicate with one another. Rember the telephone? You used to be able to call literally anyone and you didn't have to ask which operator they were using.

Google still has a ways to go.
Okay! I think I have an answer for you. I found this:

http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:WdHknYu...

This is an HTML page on a WordPress site. A hacked WordPress site. It's SEO spam and is rather successful. It's not a proper page and so has no title, but has all the keywords for a search and a bunch of links at the bottom that it's trying to rank higher for whatever search.

This isn't Google's fault necessarily but rather there are compromised WordPress sites out there that look fine to the owner, but when the referrer is Google, or the user-agent is the google bot, the website produces different results than if a human is viewing it.
> Ask a car to respect a very slow limit in a school zone? No problem. For fear of tickets most every car will slow down.

That does not match my experience. Drivers in my area go 5, 10, and even 15mph over the legal limit with seemingly no repercussions[1], even in school zones. And yet excess speed is a contributing factor in many of the road deaths here.

(Whereas drivers or cyclists "rolling through" stop signs at ~4mph when no one is waiting don't seem to be nearly as deadly so I'm less concerned about that.)

We are in agreement that there is a culture of lawlessness on many roads and that better traffic enforcement is sorely needed. But personally I would begin by enforcing those laws that will save the most lives.

[1] The exception being US military bases. An MP can and will pull you over for going 1mph over the limit on a downhill. And your CO may be informed. I've never seen such well-behaved drivers! It makes military bases one of the safest places to drive/bike/run/walk.
Yup, that's right.

We're not in hyperinflation. The currency isn't worthless. It's just not worth as much as it was a year ago. Or two weeks ago: I found out today that AR$11890.99 is no longer about US$58 as it was two weeks ago, but more like US$55 now. The annual inflation rate is about 50%, which is about 3.4% per month. If it's 50% per year over the next 12 months, the total value of those 12 monthly installments will be about US$46, which you'll notice is still more than the US$42 offered by the other seller without an installment option. So unless inflation goes higher in the next year, or the buyer defaults on the loan, the installment vendor is still making a pretty decent profit on the battery. They may not be "charging interest" but offering "interest-free" installments enables them to charge a sufficiently higher price that it's a profitable thing to do.

They are taking the risk that inflation suddenly explodes three months from now and 9 of their 12 installments are much smaller than they had planned on. And the buyer is taking the risk that inflation suddenly stops six months from now, which would make their final installments are just as onerous as the first few.

There have been a lot of loans pegged to the inflation rate in the past, as well as things like pensions. Unfortunately, since the government was the creditor for most of these, and also the government publishes the official inflation rate, they solved the problem in the early 02000s by faking the inflation rate statistics. Some economic consultancies published statistics showing the real inflation rate so the government prosecuted them for "commercial disloyalty". Retirees rioted in the streets and got tear-gassed by the police until the government agreed to raise their pensions faster than the fake inflation rate. Bondholders weren't so fortunate.

The moment Safari stops being required on iOS nothing will change at all, because very few users will run to install chrome. Safari would still come pre-installed and used by default. However, it would probably develop faster.

As for 'over group' - no, with the crucial advantage of Chrome bundled with Android and Google gone, other players will pick up quickly, competing for those lucrative deals with the search engines. Currently this space is dead because nobody dares competing with Alphabet.
The next line is "deaths with covid on the death certificate", which is different and is actually a higher number and the more important number, as it deals with people who died of covid induced pneumonia after a multi-week stay in the ICU, but not people who by chance had a heart attack after contracting a mild case.

Why clouds?

Sure I understand the theory of the water cycle. But the whole precipitation and evaporation thing is a complex mess. It doesn't look at all like the simplest possible form that could achieve the same job. Why not just water above the firmament?

When something in nature seems needlessly complicated, one has to ask what purpose the complexity serves. Why would a hypothetical universe engineer (dare I say "god") sit down and decide to have a universe that is indistinguishable from a classical one on nearly every length scale but is still quantum at the bottom? There's only a few possibilities:

1. The complexity isn't actually needless but it is arbitrary. There are other self-consistent laws of physics that are possible, but all the alternatives are just as weird and complex as QM.

2. The complexity isn't actually needless because QM is inevitable. There's some deep logical principle that forces the hand of the hypothetical universe engineer.

3. There complexity actually is needless. Our universe is quantum because that's just how it is.
That would require the three points to be rigid other than the vanes. But vectored thrust is a thing for jets too, so it's definitely possible.

I just hope that they don't make the same decision as Debian where they made `python` launch `python3`.

It's really useful if `python` is simply removed, like they did in Ubuntu. There you'll know immediately that your script which invoked `python` was about to execute a v2.7-script.

Else you might get errors which only crash the script when a rarely used path is executed.

This is how we get software catastrophes like Teams.

> Nobody* is sideloading an appstore

On Android, it's not much more difficult than installing any other app (with a couple additional prompts to accept).

Between the Amazon app store (pre-installed on Amazon Fire devices), the Samsung Galaxy store (preinstalled with Samsung phones), the alternative Chinese app store(s) (used by basically the entirety of China), F-Droid (used by the technically inclined folks you mentioned), and raw apks downloaded straight from the internet, a substantial percentage of Android phones have at least one non-Google-Play app installed.

The important part is that distributing an app to a Android phone without Google's blessing is at least _possible_, and this gives them a bit of an out for charging whatever they want on their app store. You don't like their fee, fine - you're free to try to distribute your app via another store. For most people paying the Google fee is worth it, that's their choice.

None of this is true on phones made by Apple. You either pay Apple, or they'll do everything in their power to ensure your app can't run on any phone that was made by them, despite the fact that _they no longer own the phone_. It shouldn't be a huge surprise that they're finally catching some flack in the courts for this.
Also, apropos of this case:

* major paranoia about foreign subversion (with, in both cases, some justification, but self-defeating and grossly disproportionate responses)

* persecution specifically directed at intellectuals
> Obviously no bridges should be coming down, but there is a real problem here of how to build and maintain a modern city that is smaller than the older one that it replaces.

If an area's population shrinks such that it doesn't need / can't afford all of its bridges, why not prioritize the critical bridges for maintenance and close the others as they become unsafe. Why is this always posed as a dichotomy between letting bridges fail and funding maintenance for each and every bridge?
Be cool to write a book about how the CCP/CPC realized asian americans are more and more important to the USA defense and economic structure. They then spread disinfo to the CIA about anti CPC Chinese Americans, claiming they are chinese spys. This causes the end of the university system being a relevant defense/economic buffer for the west. Kindof like a Chinese version of the men who stare at goats which was apparently based on a true story.

Over 1000 people are recognized as political prisoners in Belarus (1) (not by regime of course). The idea is to get a chance for the regime to find an excuse to release just 50 of them (50 is better than zero). Regime so far did not respond to the attack or the demand, nor released a single political prisoner.

Can't say much about stopping troops demand. I am pretty sure it is outside of lukashenko control now even if he was willing to negotiate.

Yes, that's one exception that seems highly relevant to the current case. Software is another. I'd like to believe that "published research is protected by 1A, but the speech necessary to make new published research is not protected" would go over like a lead balloon in the courts. Notice that these laws haven't been tested: instead prosecutors are going after "grant fraud" (and then dropping all charges before a judge can rule.)

Definitely not an “all you’ll need”, but I think enough force self-learner to get some idea about whether you will like it and if so, what aspect(s) (getting the data in, getting information out, or both?):

- Install PostgreSQL

- Install the PostGIS extension

- Download an extract of OpenStreetMap

- Get it into PostgeSQL

- Play with rendering tools (e.g. a few square kilometers around your house, leaving out all roads)

- Play with querying the PostgreSQL database (e.g. try figuring out what the closest library yo your home is, according to OpenStreetMap, or try counting the streets within a block, or the number of houses)

- Try adding some other data to your database

I think all but the last should be doable in a few weeks for a self-learner with access to Google.

I had a seriously heavy Abus lock on my storage unit. Extremely difficult to pick and hardened but the thief apparently used a diamond circular grinder to just cut the shackle. I still use those locks, and they are solid. But as with anything, it seems if a nefarious actor wants to get in, they will. Just a matter of their resources and time and skill.

History repeats itself.

Flip phone emojis started in mid-1990s as carrier-specific custom characters on unused areas on Shift-JIS, and initially the implementations were largely the same. Wireless carriers then realized it could be used as differentiators, like by adding more specific mojis, colored mojis and animated GIF emojis, and then each strains of emojis that carriers offer grew into different dinosaurs over a decade and half until forcibly unified into a common ground in 2010s basically by Apple and Google.

Apple got into the emoji game when they entered Japanese market with iPhone 3G on SoftBank, and Google then helped it standardized in Unicode. At that exact point everyone was on the same page. And at next instant, they realized that they are not differentiating on emoji.
That allows for a just revolution, not a just riot.

I think what you may be missing is that this paper juxtaposes "Just Riots" with "Just Wars."[0]

In modern warfare, massive numbers of civilians are often killed -- for example, the most deadly bomb attack of World War II was the Allied firebombing of Tokyo, which killed over 100,000 people, almost all of whom were civilians.[1]

Surely this is "violence, against a civilian population, with the intended aim of effecting political change". Indeed, harming morale was an explicit goal of attacks like those against Tokyo and Dresden during WWII.[2] The idea was that the population would be cowed by these attacks and (somehow) get their governments to surrender to the Allies.

So the question is: If we have a theory of "Just War," that includes wars where the "just" side can claim to morally kill tens of thousands of civilians at once, then should there also be a theory of "Just Riots," even if riots can scare civilians sometimes hurt or kill them?

There is almost nothing to add to this run down on the insanity of the hype of hydrogen ecoonmy. Hydrogen (as a fuel) and even used in fuel-cell has been similarly shown to be a bad idea to power cars. It is so hopeless at this time that even Mercedes after 30 years of research thrown in the proverbial towel. The question remain (as usual) who and why is it being pushed on the masses as a 'green' solution? If companies (well governments due to subsidies) do not become strategic about low-carbon transition we will just waste money, and not achieve anything but a very real and tangible further increase of waste in our environment far above that of "business as usual scenario".

1) Law of conservation of energy is merciless, and neither electricity nor hydrogen are energy sources because there are no "wells" of such on Earth. They are energy vectors and the energy content of these vectors has to come from somewhere else --> primary energy source (fossils f., nuclear, wind, solar, hydro, geothermal, etc).
2) hydrogen does not 'like' to move, compression or turning it into liquid means an energy loss
3) leakage during transport is impossible to avoid
Oh my. I just looked, and it turns out in the US there is apparently no such thing as voiding a sale due to it being forced, only 'fraud' understood as misrepresenting the value of the property or the origins of the money haha

So, here's the issue. In other countries, especially over here in South America, this kinds of transactions are heavily frowned upon, and criminal acts resulting in a sale are regularly cited as reasons for voiding some sale or another. This is a bit of a worldview issue, we're not used to thinking about inflicting misery on others as a legit business strategy.

This is a well known pit in statistics, I would think, given there are extremely famous stories about this exact issue causing deaths.

It falls under the "noble savage" concept, the thought that native Americans were somehow innocents living in the garden as god once intended. The concept is far more telling of the European religious mindset than anything of actual native Americans.

I read a great book a few years back about the lives of African slaves owned by native Americans, native Americans who took said slaves with them when they were exiled by white settlers. The fact that I had not known of such things is a remnant of the noble savage concept. I was taught little in school about native american views on class.

Surely you see the contradiction in the system you describe as `terrible` being the exact same as the system you call `good`? In either case, macros are available in modern versions but attempting to use them in old versions causes problems (see the links above), so the practice is to not use them at all, if you may have to target older versions.
