Oculus is not just a display, but a computer with a GUI and an app store, so it's more like having to log in to Apple to use an iPad. Not sure you really have to log in if you don't use the Oculus app store.

I've run it on all my desktop and laptop computers for 20 years and it's fine. However, the only package I upgrade automatically is Chrome. I do a full upgrade one or twice a year, and in the meantime I only upgrade packages as ne

I believe a small increase in productivity per employee for a bank is worth a lot more than in most other industries. In my experience the quality of the equipment scales with the per employee profitability. I've never worked for a pl

I did some digging, and I believe this was implemented with the <keygen> element and the generateCRMFRequest and importUserCertificate JavaScript functions. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1088063

Yes, browsers other than Chrome can generate keys, submit the public key to a site you're logged into and install the certificate you get in response (usually after a second factor verification). I am not aware of any site that still d

Last I checked it could only install from the filesystem, and not directly generate a key and install a certificate through the web. Do you have an example site where this works with Chrome?
251.
by mortehu 6y ago
Before Chrome, all popular web browsers had a user interface for installing client side HTTPS certificates for user authentication, and a very small number of websites supported it. After Chrome became popular, those sites were forced to s

> Peptides are just short proteins This is very misleading. Proteins are defined by a minimum level of complexity, being strictly higher than peptides.
254.
by mortehu 6y ago
But why assume a leap directly to proteins, by definition a long chain of amino acids? Couldn't we have started with self-replicating peptides and incremental improvements?

We live in Manhattan and order even more stuff than GP (about 25 orders last month) and we've had like two issues this year: a missing knob on a puzzle for toddlers, and paint on three toy vehicles damaged during shipping.

Maybe a platform will ban or penalize this behavior if we complain about it loudly enough. It is or will become a Nash equilibrium that can only be resolved by Apple and Google. Once all apps do this, the app developers are back to where th

Disclaimer: this is awfully complicated, and I’m not an expert What’s most relevant for this discussion is the system for people who are earning now for retirement in the future. The amounts are adjusted yearly, but the current maximum rate

You shouldn't look only at supplementary pension for Norway. Everyone gets the basic pension as well, and if you're employed your employer must also contribute on your behalf.

I was referring to money set away for retirement. Since moving from Norway to US, I can’t really spend all my disposable income, given that maximum social security benefits are so low.

by mortehu 6y ago
They include retirement income as income, but do they exclude retirement savings? In US there’s a huge burden to save for your own retirement, and modern retirement vehicles (e.g. 401k and IRA) pay out in full even if you die young (no lon

The point is they are not variables, but rather constants (everyone got them), and they were not introduced, but standard care at the time. I suspect you have the wrong idea about how the results of the trial are supposed to be interpreted.

All patients received hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin, i.e. the control group also, meaning the difference in outcome between the intervention and control groups is not due to these drugs.

The source you're citing doesn't even address the assertion you're making, so that's a bit misleading to post. Looking for a source for your claim I found this, which adds some detail: https://youtu.be/
