MOND is kinda like a dead horse now, that people like to keep flogging

I think it's possible for an alternative gravitational law to work, but not MOND

MOND is stronger at longer distances than Newtonian Gravity. To me that does not pass the sniff test. It could be a step in understanding a more exact law but to me it feels weird

Yes but the .svn dirs everywhere keep being annoying

Nice summary

More than technologies, what really evolved were the ideas on how to work and manage SCM systems. Things like atomic multi-file commits, using unified diffs, management by "patch queues" more than simply merging branches ad-hoc, and of course decentralized SCMs

In a retirement home? /s

I have to agree

Modern Apple is like the bland decorations of today that make houses look more like a hospital than anything else

That Rainbow Apple theme on the cars is just something else. It almost has Nickelodeon levels of enthusiasm

Wise choice

Businesses are usually better than individuals.

But businesses owners themselves are a hit or miss

> I thought ECC didn't use the same mathematical foundations of RSA

It kinda does, it just uses them differently

The basis here is the discrete inverse logarithm in a specific group (elliptic curves over rationals or multiplicative group module n)

> 1979, sure. 1973? Way too early…

Which is fun, because this is the same time difference between 2020 and now

And then we think we didn't have ChatGPT in 2020

This sounds like a South Park episode

As much as the west has been shooting itself in the foot lately, discovering that they are still much less subject to interference sounds like a lesson that could have been had for way less money

Ironically, the hardest part might be to meet the actual requirements to run the packages, since python dependencies have been so braindead lately

Ah yes a "free country" is where some (at best) annoying person or (at worse) a fifth column annoyance can disrupt projects that would benefit most people

> For a start, child are parents responsibility, and the state should stay out of that as much as reasonably possible.

Yes

That's why stores let kids buy alcohol and tobacco, of course, because no responsible parent would let them buy that, right?

That's why any kid can go watch any movie in the cinema right?

Yes it's the parents responsibilities. Do you think a middle class single mother has the resources to keep their kids entertained and out of social media for the whole day?

The problem with age verification is 100% the lack of anonymity in its implementation (which I do agree has ulterior motives) - but honestly not the age check in itself

> You really think that there's more people getting scammed via "please tap the build number seven times

Yes, because this whole procedure is new

> Also note that "crapware" describes basically every app you find in google's store

Go back to emacs then I guess

Of course they have other motivations

But for 1 person wanting to run their own software there are hundreds of people with the potential to install malware/crapware/etc

Yeah

The ELI5 for decoupling capacitors is "imagine an energy storage for quick usage"

The ELI(tired EE student) is more like the explanation above

And this concept is ok for most of the 'low speed' circuits

in RF ranges, everything is a capacitor (except when you need one), everything is an inductor (except when you need one) and the intuitive explanations break down and everything looks like dark magic

I would say Canadians but British Columbians (yes this is the actual term) are even worse

Actually my "Absolutely" referred to the first phrase, not the second one (my bad!)

> There are also money issues like with the alzheimer's situation. (that is: If climate change is dooming us then we should send more money to climate scientists)

Absolutely, the issues are similar

And if this can upend the business model of some big companies we'll give some "incentives" to some "doubtful" scientists even if their doubts are unfounded (actually very well founded but you get the gist)

Which sucks because such work should be free of pressures and incentives

> Overall, as with every digital ID thread, it would help if some of the fearmon gering commentators would read the actually EUDI specs for once in their lives

Yeah

I'm getting really really tired of the "crying wolf" crowd

Well I guess Allegra was a bit old already /s

The airport needs to know that by themselves as well because it's part of METAR

Now imagine we're can't have this basic resource anymore because some nerd fuckr needs to win a bet on the internet

Makes me want to bet on creative uses of a baseball bat

Do you know what doesn't collect telemetry?

the old git command in your terminal

I think I'll keep using that

That's cool

I mean it's like trying to balance a cybetruck into 4 skateboards and flunging it over a hill cool

Honestly this article is mixing a lot of different factors

> Acetaminophen has a scarily narrow therapeutic window. The instructions on the package say it's okay to take up to four grams per day. If you take eight grams, your liver could fail and you could die.

Gee I don't know, I think this is a wide enough window to not miss it. That difference is 8 500mg pills

> that for most people in most circumstances, acetaminophen is safer than ibuprofen, provided you use it as directed. I think most doctors agree with this.

Could be but I think a lot of doctors underestimate the dangers of paracetamol as well

All of the factors the author mentions about IBP are true. But it's all about the details. Safer? Safer in which condition?

"Dehydrated" ok take a glass of water. Active bleeding? Most NSAIDs interfere with that, and no you won't become a hemophiliac by taking one Ibuprofen

Also, some countries do add a notice for kidney problems for Paracetamol as well (e.g.) https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc/product/5164/pil

An as a conclusion, I find it "funny" that nobody considers how healty/safe it is to take paracetamol and have mild analgesia (translation - you're still in pain) and taking ibp and having better analgesia

Yeah then we'll get a bunch of new nicotine dependants

Funnily enough I've had a "low cost phone" with replaceable batteries (the "old school way")

So it does not seem a big deal

I think the BC548/558 were a bit more popular (though lower voltage) :)

(and I think you had it up to 546 with an ever higher voltage)

> 2Nxxxx just told you that this is some kind of transistor or thyristor, instead of being a diode like 1Nxxxx.

Oooh that's what it means!

But yes the European code makes (a bit) more sense

Though I never used a BS/BU code, only BD and the TIP series which might be a proprietary code

It's the Swiss national radio/tv service, they probably have the article in 4 languages or more

Yes (later in the thread it seems to be the case, though xcancel makes threads even more confusing)

But more importantly, it's not being deleted from your phone. You know, your phone with all of your other photos

Yes it should be fixed, but this "all of nothing" approach to security is just counter-productive
