You may be remembering something, but you seem to be remembering it almost exactly backwards. It sounds like you are remembering something about the 10th Amendment, which reserves to the states any power that is not granted to the federal

Covid-19 is not like the seasonal flu. Or, yeah, maybe it is just like the flu, except (1) covid-19 is more contagious, (2) Covid-19 is much more likely to kill you if you get infected, and (3) much of the population has immunity so seaso

Of course there is no guarantee that containment (the dance) will be done correctly.

You have aerosol and droplet mixed up. Aerosol is much finer particles than droplets. Sneeze would be droplet (plus aerosol), breathing would be aerosol, likely not droplet. From what I've read it's not clear that aerosol would

Doesn't just about everywhere collect sales tax online now? BHPhotoVideo is my go-to place for tech and music stuff. I got their affiliated payboo credit card that pays the sales tax for you, saves me that 10% on every order.

Sweetwater is good. BHPhotoVideo is also excellent for music stuff (as well as tech in general). Free shipping, great service, affiliated payboo credit card that covers sales tax, saves me 10% on every order.

You do understand that the outbreak has exponential growth which has not peaked anywhere? Even NYC cases will likely double this week before their peak. If anywhere in fact is "over capacity" now then they'll be in much dee

> “nurture” is typically taken to mean factors you as a parent or a society can control, whereas “nature” is heritable genetic information. ??? If so, then the typical debate is very poor. Nature vs. nurture may be the common words use

There is a solid Windows ARM64 laptop, sort of: Microsoft's Surface Pro X. The main problem, as far as I can tell, is that there are few native ARM apps for Windows (though the MS Edge browser is native ARM64), and the machine is limi

In other words, at least as I would say it: iSH is slow.

by hsitz 7y ago
Termux is much, much better than iSH. iSH is not bad, it's just that it doesn't run any code natively, everything runs through a software emulation layer (I believe x86 to the Apple Axxx processors). So it's slow. Whereas

And interesting to include in a study like that how much people in each field actually understood about copyright law. My guess is the general level of understanding is pretty low.

The gains come a few different ways: from using keys (avoiding mouse); not having to fiddle with window size and placement, windows blocked by other windows, etc.; from making workspaces an essential part of your ui. After using i3 for a b

As I understand your point it has absolutely nothing to do with it being illegal to not have a SIM card. Your point is simply that it is impractical not to have a SIM card because that makes it difficult to do bank transactions. Big diffe

I think the article did discuss your point, "But [with a cup of coffee] nowhere am I asked to 'subscribe' to anything. I buy it, enjoy it, and that’s it. I’m not committed to buy another cup ever again." Maybe you wanted

From Gruber you get that "this thing will never flourish outside of the niche markets its found itself in"? That's far from what he was trying to say. From his concluding paragraph: "[G]reat though it is in so many ways

iPad is not just great machine to read on, it's a great machine to write on, too. There are loads of excellent editors to write in, e.g., iVim, iA Writer, Scrivener, Ulysses. I use an iPad Pro in portrait mode (i.e., vertical orienta

Unfortunately, that slows things down with iSH a lot. iSH gives surprisingly complete Linux environment, complete with ability to install most of the packages you'd want. There's even an iSH folder in the Files app that gives ea

I use both a bluetooth mouse and keyboard regularly with my iPad. I'm not sure what you mean by "not something you'd want to do over a longer term". Using the mouse is most definitely preferable to raising my hand to t

Do you have any suggestions for what the average layperson could read to get a better understanding of contemporary neuroscience? Any articles or books you'd recommend?

For anyone interested in wolves, or who enjoyed the History Today article, there's a talk on youtube by Nick Jans about a wolf in Alaska. Jans wrote a book called "A Wolf Named Romeo". Romeo was a large, black, lone wolf tha

I'm sure many people find ish.app useful. It failed for me mostly because the emulation layer slows things down too much. I wanted to run emacs on my iPad Pro (2017) and it is indeed straightforward to get it (and many other things)

Just to clarify for the developer, thasian, because you have all rights in the code you can license it differently to different users. The version on github will be gpl; you presumably could have different license for app store purchasers.

Adding on to my own last post, here is a link to something that I would describe as an admirable death, a death a woman made "on her own terms".[1] And yet it was most certainly one that was forced on her by "Nature", b

Ha, yes, true. But I was also specifically responding to the OP who was excited that with a longer life we would be able to "die on our own terms". I would say, first, that our lives are already plenty long enough to "die o

Precisely why I included the adjective, "well-functioning". . . . I would add that basically everything you list is why there exists in human cultures a general disapproval of suicide, because people may feel bad in the situations

I'm not sure. Having been born, it's natural for us to want to live longer. That's the impetus for all this. Okay fine. But if you to try to objectively answer a more abstract question, "Is it better for humans to live
