Would statistics on medical debt be skewed by a society that has potentially grown accustomed to turning away medical aid for fear of the financial fallout?

I don't know if pinning is even necessarily a chief tactic as I presume they're also able to arbitrarily modify a comment's votes, or at least to overlook manipulation of votes from an entity they've given agency to. All

Not sure about noise cancellation as we never had an issue, but what you describe about ~20 participants and muting intuitiveness doesn't match our experiences with a wildly tech-illiterate audience.

Jitsi is easier and better in many ways, in my subjective opinion. Barrier to getting a meeting going or joining a meeting is even lower than Zoom.
68.
by socceroos 6y ago
No it's not, I'd say Zoom is demonstrably worse; at least in the experiences of people I've worked with.

We evaluated Jitsi after discovering it during Zoom's security and privacy issues and have been incredibly surprised. The best part was that none of our more technically challenged members got stuck with joining a meeting (unlike Zoom)

CADET, the end-to-end data transfer system for GNUnet, still needs to go through some API changes before seeing a stable release. Building an app on top of it as it stands right now may be wasted effort. I'm keen to see it go stable.

Scuttlebutt is what you use until GnuNet goes stable. Just like Hurd.

Not end-to-end, just each client's connection to the hosting server. You can roll your own server, though, which is the big advantage in terms of privacy.

Yep, I made permissions tables per-entity too with simple `CRUD` access a bit like RWX (it was an API). It's definitely fast enough. I was handling ~5000 concurrent users with queries returning in the ns range. To be fair, I skipped RB

Yeah, I'll second this. Thunderbird was missing many features, Evolution was always slow, KMail was featureful and fast.

The title doesn't quite have the same punch when that little qualifier is known. I find it a bit deceitful, actually.

This is so true. Fitting rows in the page was a big win for query times in my case.

That's what I was taught to do by my dad. Take the uncompiled kernel, remove every driver and feature from it that you don't use for your use-case and then compile. Then go through hardening steps at each layer, chroot all the t

Some really interesting insights here as someone who hasn't thought too much about how payloads are sourced and organized. It's a nice simple web app too that just sticks to the point.

I feel like China is in their "Wild West" period. Somewhat lawless and dangerous, but lots of opportunity for diamonds in the rough.

Yes, this isn't necessarily what we'd call a 'hospital', nevertheless it happens very quickly. My country would struggle to erect a paper bag on a patch of dirt in 6 months. There are additional examples of China's
