You are trying to argue semantics and claim that I am maliciously lying.

>Your characterization of historic vaccines is not correct at all.

Please point out exactly what I said that is not correct.

>It's no different for the mRNA and adenovirus vaccines that we use for COVID, because the definition of a vaccine has nothing to do with the content of the biological prep: only with the effect it causes (increased immune response)

This is semantic argument. You are saying that because the outcome of the vaccine fits the definition of the word vaccine that we have a designated Omicron vaccine. This on its face is patently ridiculous. We do not have a vaccine for omicron, and if the current vaccines provided sufficient protection, why is Pfizer currently working on a new one[0]? Granted, they have not yet reported the results of the study, but the fact that they are even doing a study to determine variant needs, proves my original point.

>The second false statement is that "the previous vaccines offer quite little protection". If you had qualified this as "quite little protection against infection" or "quite little protection against spreading the virus", it would have been accurate, but you did not.

I did qualify my point here:

>The the current vaccines are not effective at preventing the spread of omicron.

and here:

>That is how they are helpful for the symptoms of omicron not the spread.

It seems that you chose to change the context of our discussion to call me a liar.

can't workflows do these things?
I believe you are being flagged because of the title. Did Google fail? If what you are looking for doesn't exist, you can't blame Google. A title like "how to move photos from iphone"or something would have been better.
I'm a little surprised you can't create a torrent on Android, but not surprised you can't create one on iOS. But if the reason to do this is the phone is running out of space why was your first thought "let me first create a large file"
There of ways to move photos and video off. You could buy a connector to connect a micro SD card. You could use one of the free cloud service like you mentioned, like icloud and move them a group at a time. Of all the ways to do it, a torrent if the last one I would consider.
a high-quality DAC would be pretty neat. I'm not sure what connectors would be best though. RCA would be ideal, but those are probably too thick. Mini jack is obvious, but low quality.

It'd be particularly cool to get balanced outputs.
Sometimes it is more dangerous to follow traffic laws exactly rather than normal human driver when you are surrounded by normal human drivers. It's not as simple as you are making it seem.
Do we know whether it's potentially possible to rewire cat behavior, or are their brains set in stone after some time?

- Like in the TFA, food insecurity

- Un-feralizing cats reliably

It seems that cats are odd one out with respect to adaptation. Dogs can have temporary issues when adapting to new owners or envinonments, but given some time they can cope. Even wild animals we don't consider domesticated can adapt better than cats.
It depends on the region. I don’t know much yet, but I’d like a lot of perennials that way it’s less to plant every season. But it might be the case that perennials take a lot of work, idk.
This conversation isn't formal enough to be meaningful.

If you want to talk meaningfully about how "facts" are used, you need to be able to invoke any notion at all of propositions and implications. It doesn't matter if your implications are mathematical in nature or scientific in nature or just correlation, facts exist in the structure imposed by implication. And facts without an implication structure are useless.

In order to mislead with a "true" fact A, it needs to already be the case that there is a false fact of the form A implies B already sitting in there. The combination of a belief in A implies B (false) with this newly introduced belief A (true) yields a belief in B (false).

The essence of "lying by telling the truth" is then just finding these false implications, and exploiting them.

Fortunately, It's much easier to fact check implications. If A implies B is false, then you just need to come up with an example of A and not B.

Unfortunately changes to belief do not always propagate reliably, and the combinatorial game is against the implication checkers. For any given true fact A there are as many potential false beliefs of the form A implies B as there are propositions B.

Fortunately, most humans make do with as few (quantified) implications as they can. Rules are hard to remember. Getting rid of false implications is much easier when you can replace them with "true" implications.

I suppose I am arguing then that the solution to all of this is education that doesn't teach facts, but rather implications (which are themselves just higher order facts).
It was also kinda weird because when they announced "the solution is web apps!" they made a big deal that developers could make their web apps just look exactly like native apps. But they never actually released any SDK, stylesheets, or anything to achieve that. In reality everyone had to mimic the look through CSS on their own, and even write absurdly complicated JavaScript libraries to emulate the scrolling.

This does somewhat defeat the purpose of 2FA though as both factors are stored in the same place.

The purpose of 2FA is to get "something you know" (a password) as well as something you have (your phone or hardware 2FA device). Storing the 2FA secret in a recoverable format and sharing it between devices significantly weakens this security.
> it is in the recruiter's interest to get you as much money as possible so you might get a better offer via them than you would if you went direct.

Unlikely. Its way better for the recruiter to focus on the quantity of hires rather than trying to increase the salaries of a smaller number of them. It takes way more work and makes them less money to help increase your salary by 20% than just finding another role and hire.
no i don't think so. i think if you tried to strictly obey the law at all stop signs you would have a lot of trouble
I think it's possible to recognize that 3rd party recruiters can be good or bad at their job while also coming to the conclusion that the bad outweighs the good to a degree that it's not worth the time to figure it out.

It's certainly a privilege to be in a position where you'd still have an excess of inbound job opportunities even without 3rd party recruiters. But if that's the position you're in, it's one of the more effective strategies I've seen to increase signal:noise.
I would actually greatly appreciate such a feature. Essentially hybrid sleep except that the two types of sleep are different kinds of low power states instead of suspend to RAM and disk.
Sony you say.. now that's a brand that haven't p*ssed me off so far, or I don't remember.. Maybe I should consider them when Ill be searching for new phone, thanks.
You can use different VPN providers per-container-type; go to manage containers, select your container type, then click on Advanced proxy settings (last option); there you can input a proxy address.

For testing, you can just type the SOCKS5 address from your VPN provider, but that's not very secure.

In my case, I have a Pi running a few Dockers (with network pairs of OpenVPN/WireGuard + Socks5 proxies); it works decently enough, I can even use streaming services like Netflix / etc. if that's something you care about.

Out of curiosity, has anyone ever been sued over their SSID?
no. i think its more. i mean yes this is true.

i've had lots of recruiters that really thought their value was to harass me me by phone. even though I've emphasized repeatedly that there isn't anything more that they can do personally to help me...the insist on calling me nearly ever day to 'see where my head is at'

i'm pretty sure i've lost out on some decent positions in the past because i got so sick of spending 30 minutes here and there talking to the same idiot that said 'dont _ever_ call me back you asshole'
So all our identity will be in one pot. A big juicy fat target, run for profit, so security will be underfunded. State actors will attack it with advanced persistent threat methods. Law enforcement can demand/buy the data. Merge the databases from the agencies and viola! you now have a national ID system. Seems like people who do not understand what harm this will cause are going to just keep trying until they get it.
I'm confused by this response. "Horribly timid behavior pulling into traffic" sounds like they're saying that when a car pulls into traffic it pulls in too slow, which puts other cars at risk of hitting the Tesla that's not properly getting up to speed. And when I read, "has no knowledge of potholes," I picture a Tesla slamming down into a giant pothole and damaging the car; needing to pull over to get it towed, fixed, etc.

Are things really "progressing just fine" if the car is repeatedly putting itself into dangerous situations?

Edit: I suppose that one could make the argument that we didn't even have this kind of tech on the roads ten years ago, and sure, that's progress in one sense. But I wouldn't call it "just fine" by a long shot, nor would I dismiss these concerns as whininess.
i refuse to use it given how bad the ux is. which is unfortunate because its a killer feature and why I can't recommend firefox over chrome. basic ux.
Thanks for the benchmarks! I was curious about timing.

Python is also a bit tricky because it does things with pointers that I believe are hard to optimize (or maybe not, who knows!). Have you tried other languages/programs?

> Examples like these are why self-driving technologies are so hard to get 100% right, modern driving is a mix of intuition and rules.

Indeed! The hardest part of switching to driverless cars overall is that driverless vehicles have to exist on the road for some number of years surrounded by ones driven by primates, with primate reflexes and a variety of ad-hoc behaviors.

If every car on the road were to go driverless at midnight tonight, would the number of accidents and death and disability plummet compared to yesterday's stats?

Woah. That’s quite the road trip! What was it?
It was never meant to stay the same, the old riddim culture went on for a long period without change... New dancehall is a bit too soft for me as well, I like ragga most, but I do miss the classic "red light" love song era... I'm working to remix some of the classics myself, and to create new vibes (without using auto tune).

There are many artists working low key on different sounds, but right now the industry is pushing the bubble-gum-gangster sound that is most popular right now... You've got to search real deep on YouTube for the best stuff.
A proper update process should be able to pause immediately when power is lost, thus not needing to care about whether there is stable power - if power suddenly goes away the entire thing should pause and thus not waste battery power.
I also want to add: That was actually the point of my comment. "Applicative functors" may sound scary as a name, but the concept really does help in keeping things readable.
Sounds like that could be gotten around by using multiple lasers.
> But, sadly, politics is rarely about understanding each other or reaching consensus

This made a recollection (possibly a lucid dream) about a country who has replaced an (implicit or explicit) adversarial system with one that starts by getting the parties to co-author a document on what they agree upon.

I think this is what our politics (organisational and the representative system alike) should try to implement
How many people are going to be hurt because someone stops at a stop sign?
Historically they've not done that because they know the IDF's response is proportional to the civilian casualties on the Israeli side. Better to wait for clear weather when iron dome is maximally effective.
Let's be clear here that "letting the car make the decision for you" in context means "you can't go as fast as you want in an urban area because the car will prevent it." As in, you can't drive many multiples of the speed limit in urbanized areas packed with buildings and pedestrians and other cars. The car should prevent that in practically all cases. The car does know that that's a good idea in practically every conceivable case. A human driver who thinks they should drive many multiples of the speed limit in an urban area is wrong.

It's so manifestly wrong that it shouldn't even be technically possible. There's no good reason to manufacture a car that responds so stupidly to such a dangerous and irresponsible input.

And when the day finally comes that the conditions are just right so that a driver dies attempting to flee an avalanche because this tech prevented them from escaping at speed, we will put a lone checkmark in the "lives lost to this technology" column that's adjacent to a "lives saved" file 10 miles long.

users understand the idea, firefox just makes it hard to use conceptually. I see tons of everyday people using chrome's profiles which are effectively the same thing at the window level and its clear what context you're in.

while firefox's concept is more powerful its also harder to use appropriately.
Some things that come to my mind:

* no tuning (pg_hba, memory, WAL options etc etc.)

* presumably fixed memory consumption (if similar to sqlite)

* raft gives you usable failover out of the box, whereas with postgres, you need additional (and complex) solutions

* less operational complexity
Plain FUD, every kind of business is subject to liability doesn't matter the size, and they manage to keep the doors open, including the junk food joint down the street corner.

>A big part of the problem is not having an easy way to access it.

I've never had any issues typing "about:profiles" into the URL bar. It even autocompletes.
I’m not a computer, so that point is moot. (And yes, I don’t. Not deliberately, though it likely happens accidentally from time to time.)
I don't think that the problem is that people don't know how to act. We know how to act; force our governments to take action.

The thing is; not enough people are asking for that action, too many people still don't recognize the enormity of the situation and how dire it is.
> another interesting aspect is it's free from intellectual property. it makes for a good example of the impact of free culture on creativity.

You better believe Diplo got paid by Beyonce to use Pon De Floor in a track.
Another interesting way to lie with facts is to use one scapegoat as a factual example, but ignore all the other factual examples.

For instance, right wing hacks love to point out the flaws in NYT over and over on thier quest for "media is bad", while ignoring:

* they too are media

* there are just as many examples in their own organization and almost every other

*choosing to play dumb that they choose the examples as part of a targeted smear campaign
> Such that in your mind, "including referrals in your hiring funnel" == aggravated bias (in the sense above), basically.

Can you show where I said anything approaching this? I do not believe this, nor do I believe I said or even suggested this to be the case.
I'm curious where the tipping point is, where the military response exceeds the financial cost of a political response. It's one thing to have tensions simmering on both sides of a border, it's another that one side feels wronged and is lobbing bombs over the fence.

The fact that they're having to develop a laser defense system to defend against lobbed bombs seems like it's time to reevaluate political solutions.

That'll cause Firefox to get blacklisted by a large number of websites.

It doesn't take much for a website to determine that the Firefox user agent (or detectable fingerprint) results in zero advertising ROI. They'll block it outright and ask you to use Chrome.

Then Chrome wins.

>In general without Apple, BT File Sharing has never interop'd.

I've used it with Windows, Symbian and Android at least, sending small files to each other without issues. The main problem is that it's just very slow.

Wi-Fi Direct (also used in 'AirDrop') however, doesn't interop. Windows and Android even both call their implementation 'Nearby Sharing' — but they're not compatible.

I've had some amazing managers who have truly helped me but I have also had lots that wanted to:

* lead instead of manage.. which leads to them not being a good manager

* be a servant leader.. which leads to undefined requirements

* be a mentor.. where they give no actual help or advice but try re-frame any questions as alternative questions
Good question. I'd be surprised if those companies would go after an individual over an "infringing" SSID, but if you sold a product using them that would be a different matter. An open-source project would probably fall somewhere in between.
Really amazing how much money they keep squeezing out search

But it's basically impossible to escape the ads on it these days, so it's not surprising.

My job is remote so no commute, and we plan to homeschool. We’re going to start small, like a 10 sq ft garden lol, then get bigger slowly each season so we don’t get overwhelmed. Once we get to a place where enough is enough we’ll stop getting bigger and just maintain. We’d like to eat only our own food but we realize that’s more work than we want, so we’ll supplement with what local farmers are growing and butchering.
If a paper is prepared in latex, arxiv will detect that and insist that the sources are included. (They compile the pdf themselves.) So I think the second point shouldn't be much of a problem in fields where everyone uses latex.
