I've had problems with digital signing as it's used everywhere here and banking apps.

That is awesome, definitely going to try again using your method!

I liked maxims when my life was simple and I was young, now they feel completely meaningless, as they never have a context for real life and they break down easily when applied to complex behavior and interactions. It's more like a prayer or chant, more for self reassurance, that you follow some principle, than anything.

Would like to know this as well, I rooted my oneplus recently, and the moment the secure boot chain of trust broke, no security sensitive apps worked.

I've signed my own secure boot loader on Linux, but I don't know if you can do it on Android at all, since you don't have keys or can modify the secure storage easily.

I think you are correct in the approach to see if the individual themselves, on a case by case basis, can give well thought out reasons for their choices.

But there can be a lot of fatigue in software process and tool selection, because it can be so opinionated and change from year to year quickly. I think it's the lack of good scientific studies of processes, and the immense difficulty of constructing such a study, which often leads "the best way" of doing something, to be based on personal opinions and sometimes, whatever is popular in the community at the moment.

Sometimes I think that the quality of a product, really only depends on the quality of the individuals making it, tools are just a means to achieve the goal, as they can be made malable. But I digress, it's not so simple.

Except things like fresh kiwi or pineapple, those enzymes can be harsh.

My guess based on the state of gene editing wrt. bio-weapons, we have been able to do this for a while, I just think the risk/reward ratio of the whole idea, from handling to deployment, is just too great and unpredictable. And it would require a lot of biolab equipment, while not being detected in some way or the other.

We are already on the way, as the EU is securing investments of 43 billion euro for the semiconductor industry[0]. We also have ASML, which TSMC are heavily relying on, since no one makes the machines they do.

Well, the whole reason for asking in the first place is to find something I could relate to which could stand on its own, whether Trump said it or not. I think you are reading too much into it, I'm mostly an outside observer interested in the whole situation and curious why there's such a divisive and emotional component to it. From what I gathered, talking about him in any way is greatly unproductive, because you have people making assumptions about what you do or don't do immediately, instead of just trying to understand where the other person is coming from with their argument to begin with. The whole thing just seems like a toxic subject, and I'm curious how the American people get out of all this in a few years, or if it will tear your country apart even more. But it will affect us all globally.

Sadly, this is true, distractions are a tool which have been well used as subterfuge. And the fourth pillar of democracy have been bought, and most of the rest just spew badly written clickbait. It's hard to have a good government when people are not well informed or educated, to see things more broadly, question things and relate them to historical events. The thing is, it's hard to question things if you don't have a good framework, which has to be more than just navel-gazing. Some only see what is immedietly in front of them, and feed into the emotional side of things as a distraction.

yeah, one of the real big issues are the government enabling alot of these wars and the dependency of a large part of the economy on the military-industrial complex, the morals thereof and the corruptional influence of the entities which want to further gain through military-industrial means, or justify it as as necessary at this point wrt. the economy.

no that's not it, I have opinions as well, I didn't say I didn't have them. I wanted to hear a genuine opinion and tried to ask a stranger for it, is that so bad? For some people, maybe behind the hateful rhetoric some of them see and some of them do, there would be other reasons for their alignment, maybe good reasons which in actuality would have nothing to do with Trump, and could be debated as political issues on their own merit, and is it wrong to be curious about that?

The problem is that people immedietly put people into either against or with, and the whole rhetoric is so tribalistic since it always ends up being so emotional as well. Instead of talking about interesting issues, it's just these one dimensional soundbite opinions.

But what do you really mean? You think that hearing a person out without immedietly announcing my political stances is wrong? Could the issue be that you are tired of injustice and think of people as 'enablers' immedietly if they are not in opposition?

In the spirit of openness, I don't have problems admitting my politicals views, I never liked Trumps political agendas or the person himself. And I think what he did is not ok, and I'm bewildered that he hasn't been brought to court, or gone to jail. Doesn't mean I can't hear other people's opinions without shouting my alignemnts first, which seems unproductive tbh.

I understand that there's frustration and a lot has to do with the focus on hate or being hated, that's where the rhetoric seems to land at least.

I would say, if the hate was completely irrational, or you think that the other politicians are just as bad, then that is not ok either. Since two wrongs does not equal right, and actions should not be seen as a balance scale of 'doing equally bad things to each other', which somehow rationally makes it ok to do bad things in what seems to be a hateful way. It should not be accepted to do bad things, no matter the party, the opposition or person.

So if you think Trump is doing bad things, and the other party is doing bad things as well, rejecting both Trump and the other party seems like the logical option given the options? You don't have to belong to any camp/party, it's a hurtful illusion/rhetoric IMO, 'us or them'.

And if you think the current other politicians are doing bad things as well, I'm genuinely interested to know what bad things they are, and not just things which can be seen as political disagreements. Because I I just don't know what you are thinking about when you say it specifically, it's as simple as that, not ill intentioned. But I can understand if you do not wish to air your opinions.

But I'm under no illusion that on both sides of the parties there are and have been bad actors and corruption, which has been ongoing in many forms, which must be fought no matter where it is. I'm just afraid that when you 'weigh evil' as a justification you lose nuance, and people are more likely to fall into the tribalistic rhetoric equivalent of 'mud slinging' or just calling 'hate' which I find sadly unproductive.

Why do you think the trump hate is irrational? What is the main rational points and reasons you like Trump? Or at least, think that he is being unfairly treated, since that does not require liking/agreeing with him.

Times were different, it's hard to understand how people really felt unless you have been subjected to something similar under similar circumstances.

But since you brought it up, do you think that the way the French behaved back then, is in any way still indicative of their behavior today? Is the same culture so to speak, still relevant, breathing and alive? What survives of the peoples zeitgeist through centuries? What is relevant to bring up, and what is just history?

Too much variability in the home networks that people have are likely one of the reasons

I totally agree, though I think it would be interesting to measure/study the amount of interference from an overlay needed to cause sickness. Imagine you have a simplified model which shows the countour of perspective lines and significant objects of a scene, how many of these lines can then be interrupted, overlayed or rerouted before you introduce too much noise in the visual perception and get sick. It would differ from person to person, but I'm pretty sure it's some kind of normal distribution. I don't think there's been many public studies trying to quantify this.

As far as I remember, the first Witcher engine was a weird mash of the engine from neverwinter nights 2 and their own modifications, and they introduced their own engine with the Witcher 2.

Agreed, growth is a vague term, such that you can hide your lack of knowledge of the situation or the person, or it is just straight exploitation sprinkled with bs

I think it depends on the amount of information you shove into a users eyes.

The body balances by using the contours of objects seen through the eyes mixed with sensory input of the balancing nerve and touch.

So to much overlay might make you sick as well I think.

I agree that it seems empty, since it's more about a person than the methods.

I think that pessimism and optimism are human traits, and have more to do with our own fallible irrational view of the world, which can easily be changed depending on the current cultural perception of our future. It's so easy to bias.

When it comes to predictions, it should revolve around the scientific method. Statistics derived from data, and that probability which itself does not know the concept of optimism or pessimism, is what should be a guide for further research or decisions.

The problem is that we ourselves also decide what to investigate to begin with. Thus our tools will only ever be as good as we are ourselves. Willingness to learn, change opinions, let go of ego and prejudice, the path forward really starts with giving everyone, children and adults, time to learn. But we are in such a society where our values are often placed differently and we are in such a rush.

So I think it really starts with, how do we cultivate a good environment now? And not whether the future is pessimistic or optimistic.

If the confidentiality of your messaging is a concern, you shouldn't be using whatsapp anyway or most closed source software. There's mostly no point in speculating, because it will be hard to verify the extent of information leakage from the vendor anyway.

It would be better to use signal or element, something that tries to solve the key exchange problem. And if you are even more concerned, run their respective server software on your own hardware. Then you can inspect what goes in and out.

We usually only use that high amperage fuses on high power appliances, like ovens or workshop equipment from my part of Europe.

I would say it's more normal to be fused to 10A for most indoor things, anything else is not normal, as most home appliance power cables are not even thick enough to carry the 16A 230V power safely.

Being a cyclist in a crash will be like swatting a fly against a windshield.

But I guess that in the future, no one will drive themselves anyway. Whether due to automation or cost.

I think that a lot of the purposeful exaggeration of these smokescreen like issues everywhere, are not necessarily with an ulterior motive, but in a banal sense, just to make things more interesting to read or make the person or company reporting about the issue, seem more interesting and just for fighting these made up paper monsters.

You'll have to aim for really small game dev companies, if not start your own, to have creative input that's outside of the technical role you have. Game dev is just as unromantic as fintech, once you get to a bigger project and the natural separation of concerns happens. sadly, which is why I personally dropped it when I did game dev. I was hired mainly for my computer science knowledge even though they said I could have input on other things. But you don't have a say over the others usually, since they are more experienced and there isn't time to make mistakes you can learn from. You're busy implementing stuff on a deadline as usual in dev. I wanted more creative control over the process, since I realized that was just as important to me, if not more. The small things I did where well received, so it was not that I had bad taste. So that was not for me, so be careful if you're hired for your expertise, it's going to be hard to do other things than that in a busy company, no matter what they say.

Awesome recommendations, now I have something to guide my intuition about what resources to focus on.

I will check out shroomery, and see what the simplest and minimum amount of control feedback loops I can get away with using. If any, preferable passive as you say. Thanks!

Nice info, I have used coconut coir for growing vegetables in hydroponics, but it's nice to see that it's usable as a medium for mushrooms. I think I know what my next project is gonna be.

Do you add anything to the substrate besides npk? Which I assume you would use, but I don't know enough about mushrooms yet. And if you do, do you control the mushroom stages by different ratios of npk as well? Besides of course, inspecting them as well.

When I make alcohol, I usually use a pasteurization equation to figure out what temp and time will kill pathogens [0]. Depending on what you do, and what you want to kill, your needs might differ, but this is usually good enough. But it is not, as you say, complete sterilization if that is what you meant. As you will notice, temperature can be lower, if you increase the time.

So the solution is to chase whatever the market dictates as "well paying", despite being against your interests, maybe drop whatever responsibilities you might have or just, like you say, live in mediocrity, if your socio economic situation forked your chances from the beginning, and your inherent abilities just don't cut it? Do you walk by the less fortunate, and think, they just didn't work hard enough and "kind of" are at fault for their own situation? Because that's a very typical American way of thinking, one that people adapt in America to cope with the poverty around them. I've seen it, from aquinteces who became big, moved to America, and slowly changed their view of people to cope with their suffering and their own fortune, partly due to a really badly made social system. And unfortunately, there are plenty of places like this besides America.
