I think it is a bit cheeky of them. They promoted the usage of masks and distancing in 600 villages totalling 350,000 people and observed the results (mask wearing plus distancing) in mosques (by sampling, not by checking each individual).

That is the most manipulative ad I have ever seen, straight out of some brainwashing manual. Any goverment should stay clear from using propaganda. This comes down to means and ends and the elitist thought that "we" know better th

Same here. Video meetings used to be the exception but since last year it is rare that anyone uses sound only meetings. One thing that annoys me with video is that I try really hard to look directly into the camera but fail miserably and i

Maybe this is a mix of a couple of items in the list but when I read about the stacks in use nowadays I wonder if these would not fit the waste bucket. For example, there is a team I know of that is building a web application that serves ma

For me was YouTube playing the same add every few minutes on almost every video I watched (some tooth paste ad) on the iPad. I started by downloading the videos on a PC and watching them later from my NAS but in the end I gave up on YouTube

I suppose that the teachers that chose not to be vaccinated would not want to impose that on their pupils.

Isn't it easier and safer to vaccinate the teachers? There are less of them and they are of the age where the current vaccines are considered safe.

But their parents are (or can be) vaccinated, thus imune to the disease.

Because reviewing is difficult, time consuming and, if you want anonimity of the reviewer, needs a third party to select the reviewer and coordinate the operation. I am not sure if most people are aware but peer reviewing is not paid. The j

I knew someone more or less like him. My friend went through high school and later even got into university. He was able to read but very slowly and he read everyday. He had this very large (and complicated) romance with him and he would re

They probably get them in a few weather events every year. I lived in a place in the South of Portugal that, on paper, gets has much rain as, say, Berlin. The catch is that it would fall over 3 or 4 very strong downpours causing flooding an

Possibly the new 400W panels replaced the 360W for the same unit price. This happens every now and then.

There are already some DC lines out there. I remember reading about one run starting in South Africa that runs north and it approached some multiple of the wave length of regular AC which would create too much radition (like an antena does)

I got a powder culture from Amazon because I am using raw milk and it would just not work with yogurt from the store. There are several different cultures available in 10 or 12 sachets and you might need a new one every 6 months or so. I tr

I do a variation of this when moving to a new developer machine. I virtualize the previous one and keep it around for a long time.

I am on the third or forth trial to change to DDG and this time it is working not because DDG is better but because Google's search is degrading so much.

That is not entirely a given. Large eathworks have important knock effects on the environment and wildlife. We tend to think that dams and such are harmless but they change their surroundings radically. I had experience living next to one w

The article actually says that you should insure only if it creates financial distress. So, in the case you describe they should insure for the floor flooding eventuality but not for the dog ruining the carpet (as a cheaper example).

Maybe it helps to host the email server in a less known and maybe a bit more expensive ISP. I have been self hosting my company's emails for 10+ years and even changed IPs halfway (VPS migration). I vaguely remember having to setup DKI

What I heard is that companies are not even giving detailed references for fear of being sued. They just send some boilerplate. I have always said where I would be going next and nothing bad came out of it.

One thing to look out is what is the microphone that Zoom is actually listening too. I used to have a USB microphone with a mute button that was very convinient. Litle did I know that Zoom was set to the laptop's integrated microphone.

It is fun until you live next to a trail that becomes a quad highway in the weekend. I used to and I was really looking forward to the electric quad revolution. That would leave only the dust for us to suffer which, somehow is less distress

Indeed, I still have one backend in production built back then with Drumbeat. Its UI was very new and rebuilt/consulted with Alan Cooper of Thunder/Visual Basic/About Face fame.

I believe you are over estimating the amount of change required. Fifty years ago, or so, consumption was much lower without doing away many of those things.

I suppose, in this case, because there isn't an alternative to the iPad on the Android side. There are many Android tablets (I have a few) but they are not as powerful and the battery always seems to last a lot less than the iPads.
