That you even express the problem like this shows an impressive ammount of bias. By calling them dangerous people you are actually implying malice. What makes you believe people with access to biomedical tech are inherently more malicious t

There is a point where all the dumbing down of explanations actually prevents any kind of understanding. It really really is unhelpful that this article tried so hard to use analogies to human scale actions to explain and in doing so fails

The Mac mini is closer to a dev board than a MacBook and it's as close to a dev board Apple will get other than the Apple 1. Arguably, a Mac mini is comparable with a NUC and also comparable with a Pi if all you do with the Pi is put i

> It's miles ahead of WSL 1, which was theoretically a great idea, but failed in practice. Indeed. Do you know what technical factors made WSL1 undesirable in practice? Why were the disk performance issues insurmountable? Why was it

I will refrain from making such detailed predictions but we both agree NATO will most probably NOT use nuclear weapons to retaliate if Russia uses a nuke in Ukraine. I think the avenues for retaliation from the world are far more diverse bu

Thunderbolt 3 is a major improvement over what we had before: expresscard + FireWire + eSATA + proprietary docking connectors + VGA ports I have all of those on a 2012 Sandy Bridge notebook. They were a workable solution at the time. Thunde

I think the positive influence of Apple on the laptop industry is a thing of the past. Did they have a positive influence ~2010 + - a number of years. Sure. Since the they had some notable failures and detrimental influences.

Free will is also incoherent in any religion or philosophy presupposing a bi-omni deity (which itself is an incoherent notion). The point, that many ignore, however is that, free will does not matter. It is irrelevant. Regardless of whether

Additionally you can only test Safari/WebKit on iOS. And there is no Safari on non Apple platforms. Is there any WebKit browser on Android or are they all based on Blink (apart from Firefox and its forks) ?

There used to be such tools for DirectAudio, but that is deprecated(but in Windows style, never abandoned). Not sure about the newer framework.

Yes, that is another hotspot, but tensions between them have risen and fallen and neither party appears to be willing to commit to the end of the world. They are in an equilibrium of MAD.

Also look at the other nuclear powers just sitting there dooing nothing. This in a early cold war era US vs USSR Armageddon scenario, not a 202x scenario. Plausible scenarios today are: - Russia using a nuke in Ukraine and earning the hate

I think purity and lack of purity are both required for a religion to be a successful meme. To much purity and the religion faces a "no true scotsman" decline resulting in schisms and deconversion To little, and it becomes too dil

How is the last example different from an incumbents paradise? To me it looks like a road to autocracy. As for the demarchists, The Orville had an episode about this. There are many reasons it does not work in practice at a medium or large

When it comes to ERDs I find UML notation unhelpful. I find the IE (information Engineering) notation that uses clear symbols for both cardinality (simple line or crow foot) and optionality (O or I) a lot more usable.

If you want to edit video in a programmatic way you should look into AviSynth and the more recent VapourSynth. Maybe also into using GEGL filters in a GStreamer graph but I do not know if a tool that does this was ever developed. There used

Maybe treating this as something related to trust is unhealthy. Thinking about it as trust forces you to accept the notion that "companies are people". Maybe thinking about it as leverage is better.

This is because management would like the company - employee relationship to not be a purely business one. There is some kind of fictitious betrayal involved in what you described. From the pov of the employee, they are just updating the pr

I am afraid it is a lost battle for now. On the high end only Sony offers a jack on the Xperia 1 and Xperia 5. Everyone else abandoned it. On the mid end there is still Sony and Chinese manufactures. Samsung, Apple, Google abandoned it on a
