We were really lucky in Australia, and didn't have a widespread outbreak (beyond Melbourne and Sydney) until after vaccines arrived. I've had three vaccine doses (need to sort out this year's booster) but never caught COVID (I'm also meticulously careful with mask-wearing and hand washing).

There is another threat which is more a problem in my opinion.

Imagine a future where everyone has moved to mastadon, and 1 mastadon server has done a good job of improving the flow and UX to bring in the users. Years later, when everyone is comfortable, this becomes the 'default' because its easy and their policies appeal to main stream users.

The big server sells user metadata and shows ads, and has money to invest in AI moderation and legal compliance with data privacy & anti-abuse laws. Maybe they lobby to increase regulation in a way that they can more easily comply with than the little guys.

Eventually the others wither away into only niche use. Their unwillingness to sell user data gives them thin margins for lawyers and compliance dealings. The big player enacts anti-spam / anti-abuse policies that happen to ban the small servers a lot while trusting themselves a lot. Eventually you are in a situation where you CAN have an account on any mastadon server, in theory, but for your posts to not be flagged as spam, it is more reliable to use the 1 big server everyone uses.

We have seen this starting to happen with email (gmail/msft/apple) for example.

What is the point of all the work to move to a federated system, if there is no force to counter a few players becoming dominant and killing the rest, converting the system back into a few big corporate players?

Open protocols and standards can be used as a trap to lure us in. I'm old enough to remember when facebook used to publish RSS feeds, which was a primitive federating mechanism. Once they got big enough, they stopped.
No, if a disc with a thickness of zero is still considered a coin.
> stdint.h / inttypes.h

Including inttypes also includes stdint.

You use stdint where you need the types only, like a header or non-IO module, and use inttypes where you need the print formatting.

I agree it's a bit weird but that's the way I understand the intended usage.
I do a lot of work in pro level eSports, and while that video is a little extreme, full arm movement for aiming (especially for awpers/snipers) is normal.
> That's how verb noun relationships work.

Affect / effect is different. In most cases, you are correct, but "effect" also has a verb form: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/effect#dictionary....

> effect | 2 of 2 | verb

> effected; effecting; effects

> transitive verb

> 1 : to cause to come into being

This verb is what was used in that comment.

Affect also has a noun form: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/affect#dictionary.... This noun was also (correctly) used in that comment.

Edit: You know, never mind, this is my misunderstanding. Sometimes I just can't read. Thank you for your patience.
Because they paid high interest rates! That's how all these scams work, one after the other. Pay high interest rates to attract customers (impossible to achieve rates), create tokens of your own, trade them to other places paying high interest rates. Take your bitcoin deposits, use them to make other bets, hope that it will go up somehow.
I find people taking this strategy interesting, especially as we approach the 3 year mark. Do you plan on doing this forever? Is there something you expect to change that would lower your/the risk thus allowing you to live a more normal social life? ("Normal" for lack of better word)

For context, I've been back in the office for more than a year at this point (haven't worn a mask in a year either). I'm pretty sure people come to work sick like they always did and don't even get a covid test most of the time any more. It feels kind of like flu/colds were prior to Covid; where it's an honor rule with no benefit of being honest and staying home when sick. I'm pretty indifferent towards people still taking the extra measures (your choice) but it does seem like an inconvenience with no end in sight (IMO).

Edit: They added more context to their comment after mine. "Zero times here (: I make all of my own meals and always wear a mask out." is all there was previously. I can't comment so maybe I got flagged. No ill intention, you do you and I'm sure you have reasons that are none of my business but we're here to talk. I'm mostly just curious because I see this a lot online and it seems like there's a whole class of people that intend to just be hermits forever now (my assumption) and it intrigues me on why you'd just give in to it like that; unless you already had hermit tendencies or some increased risk factors.
these nakedly fraudulent scams are nothing like real finance, its night and day. you need to get educated and then come back with better-informed opinions
I think the global recession triggered enough companies to worsen their products (cost more, get less, more ads, etc) in order to increase / maintain profits that a tipping point was reached and other companies simply followed suit. A new norm is building; one that hopefully goes away when the money tide goes back in.
Can someone make an automation that enables AirDrop for Everyone, waits 10 minutes, and then repeats?
It wasn't until this whole "Apple might remove Twitter from the App Store" noise started that I realized iOS had full PWA support. If Apple does boot Twitter Elon might just enlighten a lot of app developers that they could be paying 0% to Apple instead of 30% and still get a rich app experience.
I've only had it once, and I had it this year.
Perhaps that didn't receive approval from a higher power.
Correct. That's why finance needs to be regulated up the ass. Repealing Glass–Steagall was a terrible idea and probably eventually led to 2008. Cryptocurrency generally seems to want to go in the opposite direction and have a speculative free-for-all.
> While kudzu is certainly prevalent, it is vines from the morning glory family, especially merremia peltata, which are now wreaking havoc in Vanua Levu. Once this vine grows over the tree canopy, it can spread for miles devouring everything in its path.

Kudzu is a problem many places but it is also overexaggerated. There are plenty of contenders for the worst invasive plants.
> How else would you [learn to use it]?

Randomly tapping elements on the screen and seeing what happens is a perfectly acceptable learning strategy for a child.

From there, you might learn that an accent color can represent links; That a row of buttons, where one is emphasised, might be a tab-bar; That holding on an element will open a secondary menu; That little arrows represent folded content; that a list on the left might change content on the right; That certain icons always lead to similar functionality;

Side note: OP's neice was wildly tapping the screen, because she likely learned that nowadays nearly everything is interactive (Go on YouTube and find me one element that can't be tapped).
You can already try that by taking 4-8 days (depending how many bank holidays are around) out of your 28 days and work for two months 4-days a week. I did so in July and June and it was a blast.

From my tests, as long as you manage other people expectations, nobody will notice or care if you’re not there in IT.

And it’s not only 4 days of work. It’s also 3 days of rest. It’s obviously for the same reason but still… it does feel more powerful once you feel it on yourself. Distressing is amazing.

Once you try you will never want to go back.

Tbh I already work 100% remotely with flexible hours I want, and as long as I deliver nobody cares how much I work. Why anyone would? Seriously, who cares? As long as value is delivered: nobody.
It's probably both - there isn't a lot of margin in something like a base model vehicle compared to its upmarket family and not a lot of people come in looking for a vehicle with manual crank windows and a stick shift (I WOULD) so they aren't flying off the lot.
I didn't. It's not good practice to fill in the trench with rubble (rubble is the big chunks of concrete with re-bar still in it, not the dirt). I left the dirt down there, along with any smaller chunks of concrete, anything smaller than a golf ball or so. Good practice states that you should fill the trench directly around the pipe with gravel which i brought down fresh, compact that and then fill dirt on top of that, which I had left down there, and then finally with newly poured concrete and re-bar. Filling in the trench with the rubble would potentially damage the new pipe I just put in. It actually wasn't bad bringing in the new gravel and sacks of concrete because gravity does the work for you. We just opened one of the windows and put two 2x4 boards to make a ramp and slid the bags down that. Just had to carry it from the truck to the window.

My wife's phone is actually "Heather's iPhone" and it happened any time she accidentally left "Everyone" after e.g. a conference.

Assuming that anyone with airdrop set to everyone wants to receive your files is just wrong
It actually blows my mind how many Apple zombies exist out there. 99% of them would chastise Microsoft for doing similar things in the 90s/2000s with Windows.
At least Google and Samsung don't give in to dictatorships. Yes, hypothetically the US and South Korea hold some power over them... However Google has stood up to Russia, China and others. Unlike Apple...
Bowing to censorship? Bowing isn't necessarily done happily.

Or maybe more ideas are also in play? Perhaps recognizing the existing power dynamics? Perhaps playing the game over a longer time frame?

Not all ethicists recommend "dying on your sword" so to speak. Sometimes it is useful to maintain influence and fight another day. These things are far from simple.

If you want Apple to push back on censorship in China, let's talk about the details. What would China likely do in return?

And yet this list is approached in the Computer Monitor scene, where boasting about proper color calibration is a selling point, even in a gaming monitor.
If that were true, Apple would just add limiting Airdrop to 10 minutes as an additional default option. Removing Always on airdrop was done because it's the only form of community communications that doesn't go through the Censors.
Commerce sites displaying prices in $ amounts but not showing if it's US$ or another currency. Inexcusable for big sites that know the users location, delivery address, card location etc. Looking at you Amazon.
My pet peeve is when the app moves focus after rendering useful content.

On Outlook 365, I'll start typing an email, and then as page load finishes(?) it moves my cursor off the email field and my keystrokes get interpreted as keyboard shortcuts. I've probably never accidentally deleted an email but who knows!

MacOS on login will similarly let me start typing my password, and then decide it's actually done loading the screen and erase the password characters I've typed, and the prompt only gets the last 2/3 of my password.
I can't recall where I saw it, but a few years ago I saw an interview that involved some techie. The host asked them about Twitter and said, "what if we get rid of the algorithm, and, say, put everything chronoligically." The interviewee responded with "Well if you get rid of the current algorithm and replace it with that, you'll have an algorithm that sorts in chronological order." to which the interviewer's response was, "no, I'm saying we get rid of the algorithm."
I'm not redefining anything. I'm an economist, and I know the terminology of economics well. Capital can refer to two things, either 'capital' (or 'real capital') or 'financial capital'. The definition that you've posted matches (more less) the definition of financial capital. But, either way, this is not complicated. The fact remains that destroying money doesn't destroy wealth. Mistaking money for real wealth is a common mistake.

Packs not built for the physical punishment they are to be subject to. This is the same issue the 787 had with its batteries, the packs were not built with the idea that they will be rattling around for years and years, so there was not enough layered abrasion resistant insulative material and protections to keep the pack from arcing. This also includes making pockets for the wiring and running it through those pockets so that wires do not get pinched, and protective electronics to prevent dangerous electrical conditions.

In cell phones most of these things are dealt with by placing extra tape in a number of places, battery packs in cell phones have an outer insulative layer and are held in place with double sided tape.

talking down to people while you're telling them not to do something harmful usually just inflames their interest in doing it. look at how calling people stupid or evil for not following covid precautions or for looking into poorly-studied treatments worked out. no need for a patriarchal superiority complex here
What's really the problem here is that they take it away without choice.

There's nothing you can do to keep it working as it did, due to iOS being so incredibly locked down. Because this has been used as a free-speech feature whether you like it or not, this makes it a very questionable thing to do whether it was done for good causes or bad.

All they would have needed to do was to introduce a new 10 minute option along with the other existing options, and leave the forever option available for those who wanted to keep it and didn't care about spam.
We were SUPER careful until recently. Then we sent our kids back to school in September w/ no masks, and caught it within a month.

We got the newest boosters two weeks before testing positive. Le sigh.
I think I got it early to mid February 2020 when testing wasn't widely available. There wasn't a lot of news about COVID at the time and I caught something that wasn't the flu (tested negative) and hit me like a ton of bricks. I was having a hard time breathing, even when taking Mucinex. It wasn't bad enough to go to the hospital so I stuck it out at home. I managed the other symptoms well with Tylenol and Advil. I'm personally convinced that I caught it way earlier than most but its purely anecdotal.
I have always been surprised by the popularity of Apple products in the programming community, I feel like Apple's philosophy is something no one [from the tech world] should want the programming community to move towards.
Generally people don't lose all their investments in a stock or index fund. They might go down in price 10% on fund xyz but won't lose all their value. Do you not get that difference with this, this would not happen if he bought stocks with 10% of his money.
Practically all "touristy dive places" use nitrox today. It lower the risk for the dive center that a accident occur on their boats/shores/guided tours, so they have a huge incentive to offer divers to use it. Nitrox is also fairly easy to mark up since divers tend to be willing to pay extra for the reduced risk.

The only places that don't have any benefit of offering nitrox is if the maximum depth of the place is 9 meters, or if people will remain at the surface.
Yep, that's exactly it! Overwatering really seems to reduce the amount of heat each pepper contains. It's known in Chilli growing circles to only water your plants right on the "edge" of when they next need it, basically letting them 90% dry out before you re-water, this is to retain maximum heat in the pods, and to stop the plants from becoming oxygen starved.

I love chilli, and have ever since I was a kid. I don't particularly enjoy novelty heat levels though, it's got to complement the food your eating in a balanced way. I find the Ghost/Bhut Jolokia to basically be on the good side of that threshold, anything over a Ghost I find is simply too overpowering.

I have a totally up-to-date iPhone, a linux computer (no macOS), and a usb cable that can connect the linux computer to my iPhone.

I found an ipa file I would like to run (say, this MAME emulator here: https://github.com/yoshisuga/MAME4iOS/releases/tag/2002.4 )

What set of steps do I take in order to install that on my iPhone?
I am 41 and it's certainly more difficult at this age because people my age are busy with family and work. Friendships ebb and flow based on external factors. Having realistic expectations is important.

I work for myself and generally with my work I am not interacting with people on a daily basis. I also got divorced two years ago and since then, I've made a concerted effort to be more social and do a better job keeping up with friends. I've made quite a few new friends since then, and several that I see at least a few times a month.

My take-away from this article mainly was that making yourself vulnerable makes someone else willing to share too. It's valuable to get to know someone better. I don't think it has to be done in a scripted fashion. For me, the opportunities tend to present themselves organically.

I've had some deep conversations taking a ski lift up a mountain, walking around on the street knocking on doors during a campaign, waiting around to launch at a flying site and on a long drive in a car. You'll probably learn that you have a few shared interests with that person. When you do, it makes finding opportunities to get together and do stuff easy.
You expanded my viewpoint on these topics, thanks. I also didn't know about the Discord's 'banned-from-Apple' toggle.
>eat

This is exactly what I mean - the statistic has convinced you of some unwritten law that says that only livestock or humans can eat this stuff. Since humans can't, it has to go to livestock.

But you're completely ignoring that processing these inedibles doesn't have to come in the form of eating them - we can make compost, building materials, packaging. Just because something is doesn't mean it ought to.
People won't buy it because it has a fifth vestigial camera or whatever the latest gimmick is. Smart phones are a commodity at this point.

They'll buy it because 1) they don't want transnational ESG digital hall monitors spying on them and curating what apps they can install, and 2) it would have global cell coverage. That's more than enough to compete with Google and Apple at this point. People are fed up, I think you underestimate just how many people.
Having one of those, from England and not Japan, they are less bad for the environment than one might think. You just don't drive them as much, gas milleage takes care of that. Being classics, you don't drive in winter with salt on the road. And you keep them on the road far longer than they were intended, no new car is a net positive.
Back in mid March 2020 I flew back from USA to Finland and had symptoms starting next day, but the official policy was only to test those with severe symptoms so I never got confirmation.
Ah thanks but that's beyond my skills/enthusiasm. I'd rather pay for a ready made board.
Where I grew up my parents had their own 300 gallon gas tank, because you couldn't buy gas for many miles around. Nowadays not even sure how possible that is in some areas, as I am sure there is more regulation. Several of the filling stations around at the time also went out of business as they had to mitigate the leaks from underground tanks. There will be a point where it starts to become quite onerous to own a gas vehicle, just not sure when that point is.

> I dunno. Mostly I don't want to see ads. I liked Facebook when it just told me what my friends were doing. I don't want a "news feed" from a social network.

But the news media suffer from a huge punditry to hard facts ratio problem.

Today's first-screen news stories on major outlets that didn't begin as a press release or punditry:

* Fox: "Remains of missing toddler Quinton Simon found in landfill, mother charged"

* Washington Post: "Covid deaths skew older, reviving questions about ‘acceptable loss’"

* New York Times: "Antiwar Activists Who Flee Russia Find Detention, Not Freedom, in the U.S."
"Exhumed Grave Near Kherson Shows Occupation’s Brutality"

* New York Post: nothing.

* Reuters: "Hawaii's Mauna Loa volcano erupts for first time in nearly 40 years".

* The Times (of London): nothing, because they have such large ads and banners that the content is hidden.

* South China Morning Post: nothing, again mostly because of oversized banners.

* Le Monde: "The unflinching gaze of Ukrainian drones in Bakhmut"

* CNN: multiple stories, because the first screen has many headline links and small banners.

Some of this is optimizing the use of screen space for revenue, not information.
> I'm really not sure what to do – we don't want to keep getting it, but we really want some sense of social life back.

Why bother doing anything different? Are you at specific risk or is this just general fear of some catastrophic outcome? Were you equally fearful of the common flu prior to covid?

> My wife and I keep wondering / looking if there's anywhere in the world where people by and large take this infection seriously.

Considering the overwhelming evidence that it's not statistically an issue for the vast majority of otherwise healthy people, and even more so if you factor in vaccination, what does it mean to "take this infection seriously"? Do you expect the world to wear N95 masks 24/7 and stop hugging each other just to assuage your personal fears?
if you decrease the profit of developing land then you reduce the amount of land that is developed. it's not inevitable that all lets gets developed even ignoring protected areas.
