Another interesting question is, will it end Netanyahu's career if it goes through? It seems like a major deficit for a PM to be unable to travel to the majority of relevant states. Most of his international trips have been to central

Western Europe is a big place. I guess it also depends on whether you only count tests conducted in a professional setting. Here in Germany, i guess at least 20% of people between 20 and 40 have taken some kind of IQ test, e.g. online. Not

Justice Tech Solutions offers a version of this laptop that has the "Endless Justice" OS preinstalled. This is a derivative of the Endless Linux distro. What I found amusing about this (apart from the involuntarily dystopian name)

It's also weird how unappealing and bare it is. It's like they don't want new users. As someone who rarely clicks Twitter links and never logged in, I thought the first post was all there is to this, which certainly wouldn&#x

The text only mentions satellite phones, so the headline might be a bit click-baity. I assume tracking mobile phones from space would be way harder and more expensive, although the progressive addition of satellite connectivity to recent iP

Would one selection screen do or how many would you need? It seems like no other single competitor offers everything people want on their Android phone (app store, browser, calendar, cloud storage, contacts, payment, maps, mails, translatio

Descartes and Kant thought that humans have a soul and animals don't, so that animals are mere automata. Kant still recommended against mistreating animals because that would have a desensitizing effect in our dealings with fellow huma

As this might not be obvious to all, tldr is a crowdsourced man-page replacement, and also really useful when working with git. $ tldr git cherry-pick Apply the changes introduced by existing commits to the current branch.

Not a psychologist, but you might need to build exposure more slowly, and maybe check for other issues (such as generalized anxiety disorder, avoidant personality disorder, hypochondria) because a panic attack should not take months to reco

Also it's much easier to appear as a "genius" when a profession (philosopher, inventor etc.) is first conceived. Being first allows for much wider and thus more impressive output, though in hindsight, not all of it might be o

For someone who looks at web trends occasionally, the association is pretty strong. Three of the top 50 domains start with x and these are all porn. xvideos, xhamster, xnxx. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_

I made the comparison with Dragonfly because they had special features planned to make users more easily identifiable for the PRC government, thus the similarity with this MSFT/Yandex situation. Are you aware of Bing doing anything lik

Thank goodness edge's market share is very low in these countries. About 2% for Moldova [1]. For MSFT, this is a huge embarrassment, reminiscent of Google's infamous "project dragonfly". And they deleted your inquiry on

Once set up it is fine. The setup felt a little more hands-on and idiosyncratic compared to Heroku or Scalingo. Moving a free tier app from Heroku to fly.io, I also noticed a few small details that Heroku had conveniently taken care of, e.g

It dropped by a third, which is less than the difference between New York and La Paz, so I guess they could deal with it? I wonder how well their immune systems would handle modern germs, though...

In earlier smartphones fractured screens were indeed very rare, because the glass did not reach so close to the edges of the phone, i.e. to the impact zones. My "Razr i" took a hell of a beating. The iPhone 3 was also quite robust
