if your doctor prescribes it to you and you have doubts about it, ask the doctor for clarification.

pharmacies should not be refusing to fill a prescription, unless there is a doubt around the authenticity of the prescription (and the pharmacy probably has a procedure to report it). if it's possible to file some sort of complaint, that definitely should be done. the people at the pharmacy don't know more about your health than your doctor.

what happens when your government is corrupt and is after you? such blind trust in big daddy government

I think a bit more of context would even be better.

The usage of "discover" and "find out" in english and portuguese comes to mind.

words from the "discover" family, in the english language are generally used when talking about discovering something that nobody or few people knew (somebody discovers a cure for some disease), while "find out" is generally used at a more personal level (somebody finds out that someone else bumped his car)

in portuguese you can only "find" (encontrar) physical things. you can't "find out" information

This makes me thing that in some instances it might be necessary some sort of descriptive context on the meaning

Maybe this stems from newbie developers thinking that authentication == authorization

first thing on my mind after reading the title: "good". Am I evil ?

the good old day when 4mb of ram would cost an arm and a leg. first upgrade on my old 486dx4 100mhz

your comment reminded me of installing ms office 97 from floppies. all 45 of them.

I just love how the tesla fanboys forget that some of the charging station where they get their "clean" energy run on diesel generators. Is tesla really making any profit from charging stations or are there as a support network? Anyone has numbers on this?

This is nothing but pandering.

Mercedes-Benz like many other car manufacturers are probably buying regulatory credits. Building more electric cars offsets the amount of credits purchased from tesla.

Going full electric is believable on the the Mercedes-Benz car line (and this might be a company killer move, not everybody wants electrics), but trucks are still very far IMO. From what i've seen so far electric trucks are not yet as cost effective.

The range on electrics are still a problem for some. As long as your drive is shorter than range, it's ok, but when you have to do a stop to recharge, it really adds up to your trip time and seems to be the biggest deterrent

Your friend should consider that device compromised and get a new one

Yup. Googlebot can also traverse some paywalls

Bitcoin's script language is very restricted, claiming that Bitcoin has been doing "smart contracts" is disingenuous to me. I wouldn't call a bitcoin script as "smart". Ethereum was born because of this

Same here. The majority of my code is usually readable but still add comments on bigger chunks of code to split that code into logical sections, it's particularly useful when using a text editor with code highlight

The google cache doesn't have a paywall

Probably not much as changed. Regulations and laws are slow to change and a company with deep pockets can pay for plenty of lobbyists to make sure it doesn't change or changes in a favorable way.

Killing competition and dominating the market??

oh no we got "hacked" only happens if you leave your crypto on an exchange. It's not yours until it's under your control

Interesting ... big tech oligarchs manipulating social media is ok, somebody hacking the trends algo is bad ...

> It's unfortunate you are being downvoted because you have a lot valid points.

that tends to happen around here. valid points don't matter, only group think get upvoted

Three ?? So noble of them

crypto/fiat is not an apples to apples comparison. it's an apples to oranges. cryptos are a new class of asset

If you convert energy into crypto, you have crypto, may not have intrinsic value for you. right now it's worth 42k usd for somebody

which of those have/don't have intrinsic value: - gold, silver and other precious metals - stocks - options - house - car - fiat - cryptos

The cost of producing fiat currency is not the same for everybody.

Producing crypto keeps a secure ledger, claiming it's just producing useless numbers is the same as claiming that a TLS session is just playing around with numbers.

The value of fiat always goes to 0, resources have been destroyed in the world for no reason

People that complain that PoW cryptos spend too much energy don't understand that it's just another form of conversion of energy, just like every other action human take.

Average Joe has a manual labor, his physical energy is converted into labor, which converts to fiat currency. The food that Joe ate also require some amount of energy to grow and become Joe's food.

PoW mining converts raw electric energy into a digitally transmissible currency

The theory been around since covid.

People were concerned about lab leaks from that particular lab in Wuhan (the one close to the market where it supposedly started) before covid. The research on this type of virus was happening at this lab, they had posted a job opening for a researcher some time before.

All the Trump hate going around (an the willingness to go against all-things-Trump) at the time, clouded massively any actions to properly identify the origins and even some preventive actions.

Any traces that could only be identify at the time are gone by now, and as time passes, we may have more information but probably less concrete evidence. Sadly the world may end up with only theories

He just realized that he can, so he does it.

Probably got on the market before the BTC/Tesla announcement and then pumped it, then thew DOGE in the for the memes and then Tesla announces that BTC consumes too much energy and that are looking out for a greener alternative. ETH is switching to PoS. At this point, he is probably slowly filling bags of ETH and gonna pump as soon as PoW on ETH ends. Expect a series of excited twits from Elon then

just pat him on the back and throw some taxpayer money as a bonus to the man

i had the same exact opinion about myself until i tried starting a project with just bootstrap's reboot css file and realized that was enough to get a nice style and build on top of that

It might have some effect. On a car with electronic steering the drive mode changes how "heavy" the steering wheel feels, same for electronic suspensions (google drive-by-wire). my non expert assumption is that the wheels are controlled by some electronic system and the feedback provided through the steering wheel actuator.

humm, i sense a bit of aftertaste of covid data in my fresh flu stats

so, in you mind, detecting copyrighted images and using that as a metric to detect spammers is discrimination? Are antivirus programs discriminating too??

I bet you indent your code in an inclusive way
