Could I use it to power my iPhone? Frankly I’m fed up with the need for charging.

I have this too. Someone had a good list of things to be doing to optimize your environment. They definitely help. I would add: 1. putting on pyjamas at a certain time every day (e.g. 9:30 pm). 2. not eating anything after 8-9 pm, only drin

The Liberty was also very far from where the Americans had told the Israelis where it would be. Finding the ship there was unexpected and calls to confirm its identity were not being answered.

It's not a land dispute. The USA has been making the claim that as an arctic nation it has an at will right to use the Northwest Passage through Canada's most northern shore and the archipelago. This shipping route is MUCH cheaper

IMO apple’s peak ridiculousness had to be the Magic Mouse that required you turn it on its back and unusable in order to charge it.

The is actually already a specific word for code changes to behaviour that contrasts well with the structural change of refactoring: Transformations. The word fits well in to TDD's red-green-refactor with the "Transformation Prior

Not just on TikTok, I saw it on YouTube clips from outside the USA. I've know people who've worked on such bases and have heard how strict they were with orders to stop and look away or at the ground when an alarm went off. Well

The sheer amount of bugs planted in buildings, especially at time of construction, has been an astonishing revelation to me. It’s funny to think that this is a full time job but many people have no idea it happens.

lol by that logic we should be careful in how we trade because we wouldn't want to make "the market" fearful. Also, that link interesting because I've only ever followed the VIX and didn't know about the others in t

Honestly, that's what I assumed they did in MacOS 11.5.2 where they refused to give details of the change. It's likely the last update for many intel devices.

So a hash for a public key used to encrypt something could be in there? Banned books? A video of unsavoury evidence to an institution?

You're probably better off if what's being said about anti-body monoculture from vaccine acquired immunity is true. You'd have higher probability of resistance to variants given the greater diversity of anti-bodies leftover f

But can it ignore your firewall settings?

This is my favourite take on this, honestly.

They are only generators. You don't need to use them but they are there if you choose to use them.

I am not confused. Apple Inc's about-face on backdoors for "good guys" and engineering tools that create the potential for "unmasking" says to me that they are the ones confused.

So even if they go back on this the announcement served as strong signalling of capability.

I just went over the CRA's rules for how it treats cryto and all I can say is oof. Worse part to me seemed to be that you can't deduct expenses (hardware, fees, power, etc) from your capital gains lest it then be considered income

"fog computing" is an actual thing though, was discussed in one of my undergrad courses.

A friend of mine is a nurse in Nova Scotia and was telling us how the staff felt so sad last summer when they were directed to put elderly/at-risk in isolation. If you work in that profession you don't need to see the research to

The canary died for Apple when they made it clear to all that they had developed a way to selectively bypass all device firewalls.

That's sort of how I explained it to a friend. Manufacturers would not be willing (or allowed) to distribute without the full trials and recognition by the FDA. Where the government, on behalf of the sovereign, decides "no, we NEE

I thought it was NIH, they are usually entitled to a percentage, if not half, of the royalties on all vaccines. https://www.axios.com/moderna-nih-coronavirus-vaccine-owners...

That's my interpretation as well. This is a situation where a dollar valuation of the trust in the justice systems is being made.

Too late for that. Indemnity is a condition of Emergency Use Authorization in place by the FDA in the USA, Canada, anywhere else I know of.

There is an actual term defined for this. Not search high-jacking...I can't remember.

That's well written little story there. I could picture every bit of it.

I'll answer, assuming you asked with some good faith. Not every statement of doubt or disfunction is an allegation of conspiracy. Dexamethasone effectively treats the late, inflammatory stage of COVID19 where most virus is dead but sti

Someone else answered correctly saying an EUA can't be issued if an already licensed drug can help. I would further that point by saying to actually go dig up the true source of that policy on the FDA's website in your country (no

The same is NOT true for dexamethasone, well not exactly, since there was no directly competing drug. Dexamethasone, which you can probably confirm, is useful in the later stages of COVID where there's an inflammatory response. Since n
