I think we get (got?) both. You have your televisor already in the pocket. Here in Germany there are strong tendencies to use this for all-encompassing tracing to fight COVID (Luca-App).

It however should be noted that JPA can run native (SQL) queries and even lets you map the result onto entities if those are a fit for the result set. I've used that with success even for partial results (not all columns selected). It&

It's done via hashes which is why it might need some time that contacts on your phone are recognized that they are on Signal. Afaik, Signal servers have no information who your contacts are.

We could set higher bars for what is accepted as "scientifically valid" as an example. What you're saying is that wrong understanding is better than not to try. At least when political action affecting many is derived from sc

Socio-economic science is rife of p-hacking. The vast majority of those studies are not reproducible. Your argument would be stronger if you'd choose a different example. I would assume that most studies on UBI are done by strong suppo

Why should that come to light if the process is opaque? Most defendants don't have the resources to challenge that. And if it comes to light, acknowledge a one-time error and carry on.

To silence someone being inconvenient to the powers that be, no less. It always reminds to the USSR where critics where put in wardens as well, instead of arresting them.

I use a mocking library mainly to produce stubs. I found verifying mocks too brittle in many cases. Generally I want to test outcomes (state), not behavior. I had many changes breaking tests although functionality was fine. The example ou

I use Signal on Android and I definitely have no Google account. It seems to be an optional component of Signal. As well I never was asked sign up anywhere.

With the same throughput radial fans are much bigger than an axial fan. But they can deliver differential pressures in the range of several 100 Pa, which axial fans cannot.
