I really don't like the comments here. Why do people assume that the Mozilla foundation is a clueless scammer? Before questioning their methods and motives, how about reading what the site says: "Welcome to Mozilla’s Privacy Not

The site has a section that explains the criteria including that Mozilla didn't decide on them alone but with other non-profits. Regarding passwords: "If the product uses passwords for remote authentication, it must require that

Good clarification. Depending on the variant of English, "long e", "long u" and "long a" may or may not sound like diphthongs. They can be analysed as /ij/ and /uw/. Wikipedia puts them unde

Nice new findings in the dictionary! What do you mean by having 'th' as a phoneme? If you mean the sound "θ", I don't think any of the words are pronounced with one in Finnish, typically. Rather, they have a "t

That's surprising to me, perhaps because "th" appears in inflected words such as "ovathan", dialectal words such as "vasthaan", compound words such as "oluthana" and names such as "Elisabeth

That's weird as "th" is pronounced "th" in Finnish and there is no "θ" sound: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnish_phonology#Consonants

The 2019 list was probably of Pegasos's customers? This list is of governments using Pegasos against their opposition, journalists, lawyers...

Member of EU too - hope this leak will increase the pressure against them.

I thought these countries still tried to operate legally instead of targeting their opposition leaders etc.

Somewhat surprising (disappointing?) for me to find India, Mexico and Hungary on the list: " at least 10 governments believed to be NSO customers who were entering numbers into a system: Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Morocco

You don't need RAM to serve map tiles: Tilemaker and similar can produce the tiles to be served as static files. You can also find pre-made tile sets you can serve.

True, OpenLayers and Leaflet have some support for vector tiles. However, you cannot rely on it because the performance is not there to render a normal map. Alternatively, you can use maplibre-gl-leaflet to integrate the two but it's e

A big difference moving from OpenLayers and Leaflet to MapLibre GL is that you can use vector tiles and style them in the browser as opposed to rendering PNG files on the server. Converting OpenStreetMap to vector tiles is implemented by Op

A nurse can take a CRP quick test. Home test kits are available to order as well, but I haven't tried them.

You have to compare to the current situation where we are overreliant on fever as a marker. If after an operation, your CRP levels shoot high unexpectedly, wouldn't you want to know and start investigating what's going on?

I was replying to a case where there was no fever but CRP was high when measured. I have been in a similar situation where after several days of illness my condition didn't appear bad enough and the doctor sent me home. This was some 1

That provides important context. However, based on the news, Epic has not been honest in their marketing of this feature. If you provide something that is less harmful but still harmful, you have to disclose that the real solution would be

As it's easy and cheap, you have no reason to use a measurement in isolation. For instance, you can track it every day to see if the infection is growing or shrinking. Here's a recent example regarding COVID-19: "We realized

As CRP testing is easy and cheap, why do we still cling to heuristics such as measuring fever instead of measuring the infection?

This case is worse than just not working: the algorithm generates alert fatigue and misleads doctors who would do a better job and come to better decisions without the algorithm. In the hospital context, a fair characterisation might be tha

In Finland, it's popular to take your car in a train from Helsinki or Turku in the south to Rovaniemi in the north overnight. There are also cargo trains that carry trucks from the coastal harbours to inland railway stations.
