Great to see the proposed fix in ffmpeg. Using a remote gateway should really not be a default but something the user has to consciously and deliberately configure.

I am not a mailman though, who surely have special protection. If you want an analogy, I would rather go the "carry a closed package for an anonymous stranger through airport security" danger way.

The danger is just too big, as my sibling commenter says.

> you download a block of data containing what you're looking for and some other data

That IPFS does NOT put data I did not explicitly requested on my storage is exactly why I feel comfortable using it compared to some other distributed storage systems where I might end up with horrific data on my system.

There exist countless sites for any product category in any language. With zero quality assurance or heart but filled with nothing but useless text and affiliate links.

Affiliate programs have destroyed this kind of web and Google happily suggests these sites as search results.

Where?

I like the idea of a mesh network but anyone considering doing something like this, please be super aware of fire risks and rather don't do anything if you are not 100% sure that what you are doing is 100% safe.

Why does it need updates?

Steam should not allow such schemes to be sold in their store.

What does it use for archiving the pages and how capable is it? What does it do e. g. for a dynamic web map?

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31848210 was on the frontpage just the other day with lots of solutions to this problem.

There are many word combination switches in close proximity in What3Words too. And if you consider sound-alikes it is worse.

What3Words is very much unsuitable for emergency situations and has been in the media for that several times.

For "valves" there would be a stray underscore "_" on the right bottom corner of the second "v". To me it clearly is "values".

Eggdrop is a bot for IRC. IRC is a low-fidelity text-based real-time chat system. There are many IRC networks (there were many more 10-20 years ago) and on these networks there can be channels (chat rooms). Those channels are often topical, e.g. #gentoo, #massachussets or #electronics.

Eggdrop is configurable with scripts and for what that allows I want to simply quote https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eggdrop: Scripts are available to add and extend support for: online games, stats, user and channel management, information storage and lookup, greeting channel members, tracking last seen times, botnet management, anti-spam, file serving and distribution (usually via the DCC protocol), IRC services (similar to ChanServ and NickServ), and much more.

And you can switch folders with the search staying active and only showing the matching mails in the folder you switched to! It drives me mad that Thunderbird insists of clearing the search filter when I switch folders.

Is that a problem though? Claws is great and I hope it will not get a dumbed down Gnome interface by someone on a Mac who does not even use the software they redesign, with buttons in unexpected places, unintuitive icons for the most basic functionality and its options limited to a maximum of 25 because of some metric that says more options are hard to understand.

Hyberbole, yes, but the interface of Claws is pretty much what makes me use it. It's blazingly fast and efficient. What would a re-design improve?

A scientist working on this topic should obviously not disregard anything like that. They should know how to interpret and filter such events.

I was speaking as and for random people on a technology internet forum where "$person got a vaccine on date ABC. $person got diagnosed with diabetes on data XYZ." has absolutely no merit discussing as causation or mental trigger that there might very well be "serious side effects" as stated by OP. I am sure many people died within minutes of receiving their shot because of simple statistics.

Also you went to paint a extreme example without any need. Please don't do that. No one died instantly, that's a huge over-exaggeration of what the linked paper is about. If you want to speak with analogies, maybe "1 person who bought this item also bought that item" versus "people who bought this item also bought that item" might be more suitable.

You made it sound like it was anything meaningful.

There is a lot of research into side effects by big and respected institutions, funded by governments. It is a very popular research theme with lots of potential reward for solid studies.

That "study" has a n=1, a single "73-year-old Japanese woman". You can safely disregard this.

That site is nothing but a ad-ridden, affiliate link stuffing, spam site with zero quality. A good search engine would not list useless garbage like that.

Are you referring to one specific connection? Two? Five? A significant fraction?

The US is about 40 times bigger than the UK, according to Wolfram Alpha.

And the romans before that. Heck they even made just about to Aschaffenburg, where this relic was stolen.

I wasn't talking about the results and relevance of this particular paper but I was replying to a cheap, offhand generalisation.

No doubt that one needs to be cautious about animal tests but they do work and are highly effective in many cases, especially for finding indications of possible effects on humans. Or is that not true?

This is a thought of science denial. Using mice as proxies for human biology has been a tool in medical science for decades and has led to many great discoveries.

Is there a specific issue you see where the usage of a mouse model is devastating to this study?

> Are you claiming that this NFT, which everybody knows passed the hands of Shaq, will be worthless in the future?

That's very likely, yes. It's just some digital trading card that he once owned. It's nothing in comparison to an artifact like a shirt from a game or even an autograph. And what are those worth? Much much less than what this URL was passed around for between rich crypto wash pumping bros.

Rhetorical question: If they don't trust the project why would they trust binaries through a package manager.

I am sure the authors provide those shell scripts to ease the burden of installation for users so dragging them down into being "dodgy" is really really unfriendly.

Sure there is. Might just be a coup and done.

That list is so random and inconsistent that I would not recommend visiting it. There are very few actual lite websites, a link to Wikipedia, some random "useful" sites and what I can only imagine is spam for some services.

Thank you, that was a inattentive mistake on my part.

Sorry, I overread that. Obviously obesity is a major danger. Thanks for notifying me about the mistake.
