Yeaaah. But it feels like "all" could be everything that is positive OR negative, so if you have all the positive and all the negative, and you take the one positive away (or the most positive), it is slightly negative (or very negative)?
Then please provide a consistent with observations theory on how physics has changed with time. Or do you have to throw thermodynamics out the window because you've gone and screwed causality? One side has a whole bunch of consistent observational evidence. The other side has a lot of frantic handwaving and inconsistent data points.

The point being is, creationists have zero idea why they think 6,000 is some magic number in this case, other than bob said so in a book. But yea, books are written by men and men are liars. Even looking at things like RNA/DNA mutation rates in known species it's pretty damned easy to see that things have been around a whole lot longer than 6k years.
Now that the FDA has recommended it there's a good chance the DEA will reschedule it as Schedule 3, but I think that would only make medical marijuana legal on the federal level so it won't actually have that much effect.

None of these agencies are going to want to push for it to be fully descheduled.

My problem with a lot of this stuff is what makes music the universal language is it isn’t made of words, it is made of sounds.

Using human language as an interface to the world of music defeats the entire point of the exercise. Neither of the founders is a professional musician, it’s missing the point of what it means to make music on so many levels.

Absent knowing anything about a woman, they could be a potential date. But "just" seems completely out of the blue.
If that is the criteria, it is clearly wrong to include LSD in that bucket.
I remember reading online a short sci-fi piece where people keep their own generically engineered pigs for spare parts, and the main character develops an affection for the animal (that is smart enough to almost talk). The story ends with him needing a transplant, and sitting in the mud with the pig, contemplating the choice he has before him.

Great point. For many years Google police was that in app purchases, if you were not using Googles play service to handle them for you, were allowed and without any Google tax. That meant that the Kindle app on Android allowed you to buy books. After they changed their policy to be more like Apples, now I need to open the browser to buy a book. Why should either Apple or Google get ANYTHING from me buying a book from Amazon? Do they own me or something?

I hate floss, and while I dislike the little flosser picks less, they still annoy me too, but I have now discovered they sell large (8 inch long or so, similar to a toothbrush) sticks with a flosser head (replacable, extremely cheap) on them.

I love them and they've helped me floss more often! I can just get through it so quickly and it doesn't feel like a chore. Just great manueverability that lets you fly through it rather than keep figuring out how to reposition.

If you have a hard time getting yourself to floss daily, try them.

> The world changes so much

Yes and no. Really, developed world have very stable laws, this is one of pillars of power.

So, new companies, like Uber, Apple (appstore), Microsoft (when created XBox), etc, sure have to create new infrastructure from scratch, because their new vision is their concurrent advantage.

But, for old businesses, like financial, energy, some others, most important to use all measures to cut transaction costs, and they achieve this by reusing old information infrastructure (not only this, but this is important part of equation). Unfortunately for old big businesses, their business models created when only mainframes could withstand their scale (clouds with micro- become mature enough, I think in 1990s; mini's just not considered as replacement of big machines), so big companies have large heritage on mainframes.

I know few cases, when large company move their infrastructure to cloud, but as I know, they mostly prefer to remain with old but reliable mainframes if possible.

At end of my speech I could add, I myself could be considered hunter from micro-world, who hunt for people who wish to switch (to micro and clouds), so I really know how much it cost :)

But to be honest, I feel romantic feelings to mainframes, as they are important part of history, I think we should save them for future generations.

No, that's stupid. Sorry, not trying to be a jerk, but there's no other way to put it: that's just stupid and not worth any consideration in this argument.

Even putting aside the unlikelihood of what kind of idiot would someone have to be to reject a relationship with an Android user, the basic premise of caring about blue vs green is too shallow to form as any basis of a massive suit like this.

"Apple must be broken up because people think my Android phone isn't cool" ??
1. The monopolies literally make no money - WhatsApp is run at cost and doesn't turn a profit.

2. You are not gonna have universal phone-number based messaging that is E2EE without a monopoly. Even RCS has monopolistic gateways. Decentralized/federated systems suck and don't easily work with phone numbers.

3. If you keep breaking up chat applications as soon as they reach a certain size, you're not helping consumers in any way. People use WhatsApp because it's good, reliable, and E2EE. Breaking it up provides literally no value to consumers.
The student's quote is especially bizarre because the professor's statement does not specify or even suggest that it is specific to computer science.

This story really drives home how being in the right place at the right time really makes a difference. They essentially made iteration 1 in three weeks and that set them down the path to success. May be the landscape has changed then but I cannot for the life of me imagine anything that could be made in three weeks today and have the effect that reddit had on the internet and the founder's lives.

If it goes through, your customers can switch, once, to Chrome.

After that, Google leverages its other service monopolies, Chrome goes to 95%+ market share, standards fall by the wayside, and nobody has any choice.

I guess the answer to that is antitrust against Google, but I’d rather do that first than go through the Chrome domination phase.
What? No. That's impossible.

Samsung, Sony, Google, LG, Xiaomi, Motorola, Nokia, TCL, Kyocera, Fairphone, Pine64, Purism, and many others are more than "literally only one other competitor". And even if your complaint is that the only other option is "Android", there's no reason why those manufacturers couldn't make their own OS if they wanted to. There's no reason why even if they didn't want to, they couldn't make their own custom Android distribution.

If the linux community as small as it is can produce multiple varied and unique linux distributions largely on the backs of volunteers, there's no reason why these manufacturers (especially some of the bigger names) couldn't do the same with Android / Linux and their own hardware. And whatever reason is behind the failure of literally the entire cellphone industry to do what they were doing before the advent of iOS and Android, it isn't because Apple is somehow stopping them from making their own OS, and SDKs and app stores.

IMHO, cascading is OKRs' real power. It forces the organization to say no to most things, which sharpens its focus on what needs to be done.

We need open source chips, firmware, and supply chain surveillance to verify firmware, PCB, and chip designs are unmodified. This risks are too great to not assure that consumer and industrial products aren't being tampered with or contain backdoors.
This is fantastic, better photo viewing is the only thing I was missing from Nextcloud, since without this I basically can't see any photos (they're too slow and the UX is bad).

I installed this, indexed the photos, etc, but I still get lots of grey boxes (photos not loading) when I browse. Am I missing something, or is my server just too slow for this?

EDIT: I think my server is just too slow. The entire machine freezes when loading one of the photos.
MSTG combines the best parts of both hierarchical graph and tree structures in its design.

A graph algorithm excels at initial convergence, and is usually faster at unfiltered search. However, its efficiency is severely hampered in filtered search. On the other hand, tree algorithms are slower and have lower accuracy for unfiltered search, but tree traversal is unaffected by filtered elements and retains performance for filtered search, as illustrated in the figure below. Therefore, combining these two algorithms in MSTG yields high performance and high accuracy for both cases and achieves fast index build time.

I'm a hardware security engineer, and I've actually used similar tools before! It's nifty, but overall, hardware security tooling is unfortunately seriously lacking.

When you try to apply masking or hiding schemes to prevent side-channel leakage of logic (see [1]), the design tools will often optimize your designs away and make your logic insecure! The same goes for certain parity and polarity propagation schemes used to protect data on busses from snooping attacks.

> The goal of the GPL is user freedom (not developer freedom)

I don't think GPL way is best to achieve this goal.

I see much wider goal of modern engineering, to REuse as much work as possible, because even with modern advances with AI, we still have very limited number of engineers, so users could not got quality products and services when reuse is limited by license, so GPL effectively limiting users freedom.

Must admit, other licenses also have issues, but for user freedom I think best MIT/BSD licenses and most similar to them (Apache, etc).
Yes. That’s why there is substantially more malware for Mac than iPhone despite iPhone having far, far more users.
Measuring student outcomes is hard!

For example, do you think we should encourage students to study for tests, or should we encourage them to just show up? After all, if you understand it intuitively why would you need to study the night before?

Also, the act of testing changes the students being measured. As does the existence of a test in the future.

While I would love to see a more open iphone NFC chip (primarily for identification/access control system integration), I shudder to think of bank implementations of contactless payments. Bank apps I’ve used have been “meh” at best, usually bad (and filled with ads!!) and don’t even support modern secure authentication (totp/webauthn). I’d like to see them fix their core technology before trying to figure out a way to sell me a loan using mobile payments.
