I've got the Garmin Forerunner 45s, I like it a lot. It's got a built in GPS, so you can track your runs without bringing a phone.

A few months ago, I was playing with msfvenom and wanted to experiment with making a payload designed to bypass the antivirus of both Windows Defender and an antivirus that my work uses(with my boss's permission). I worked on it all day, but I could not get around internet-connected Windows Defender. Any time a port was bound or web connection was attempted, it shut me down.

It made way more impressed with Defender. I was always told it's inferior, but its sandboxing and heuristics scanning are quite good.

https://fast.ai is a good place to start with ML if you're new.

I've done the same before, but nowadays I'd look into uPnP since Tor has many costs to it. Slow transfer speeds, exit node data interference, and possible ISP throttling or attention are all potential downsides.

The reaction by the admins and community to this blatantly racist and discriminatory product have me sickened to my core. Any comment pointing out the negative impacts of profiting off of our increasing racial divisions has been suppressed.

I'm turning off of this site for a while.

Crunchyroll doesn't market itself as being by Asians, for Asians, and about Asians. It focuses on a specific genre of television that just happens to originate from Asia.

It would also be interesting to see if the mating strategies and behaviors of the males change too.

Let's hope they are thoroughly monitored and studied.

A typo on my comment above. I said the R0 was below zero, when I meant to say the R0 is below 1, meaning the number of cases should decline over time.

On websites where covid vax hesitancy is rampant, I often see posts discussing antibody mediated enhancement, vascular damage caused by circulating spike protein increasing vascular damage and causing death from heart attack and stroke in a few years, prion disease development from misfolded protein propagation, and fertility issues. For most of these issues, long term data is needed to rule them out.

It's a contentious political issue with a baity title.

Expansion of covid wards is not overload. Mortality rates aren't skyrocketing, and people aren't dying in the streets like we saw in Italy and China in the first weeks.

Don't get me wrong, there has been an increase in cases and the R0 needs to be lowered. But draconian measures aren't necessarily required, as Greene County MO's recent infection rates have shown[1]. The R0 sits at below 0 now, and hospital case loads have stabilized.

> we can't let Covid-19 run rampant until we feel we've all the options we like.

What makes you say this? There is literally no other city in our country doing a lockdown like this. Many places are still opened up and not experiencing a surge. Even in Missouri, cases have dropped in many regions in the last few days without such lockdowns, and hospitals have not been overloaded.

The censorship isn't indiscriminate, it actually discriminates against and suppresses users who trend towards flamebait. Without careful moderation, this site would quickly turn into a worse version of Reddit.

You're 100% right. This isn't Ebola or SARS where everyone who gets sick has obvious symptoms and becomes gravely ill. Asymptomatic carriers and transference to other animals like birds and cattle will ensure that it will persist in our population permanently.

The good news is that viruses tend to get less dangerous over time. Death of the host provides selective pressure against those variants. Syphilis used to be extremely dangerous and rapidly fatal, but it has been around for so long that it has changed. But that process takes years typically.

It's putting a scarlet letter on these people and shaming them for making their own choice about their own bodies.

I think we've determined from other issues that "separate but equal" isn't actually equal. That absolutely applies here.

In my job, I get exposed to the owners of plumbing, construction, and other blue collar industries. From what I've seen, their houses are huge, their spouses are gorgeous, and they live in regions where they get to have an incredible quality of life.

The owner of a construction company told me once that he makes a 15% profit per year, and he charges far less than the competition because he would feel slimy taking more.

In your experience, how is American culture different?

Uber tried to compensate this independent contractor when they had no legal reason to do so. The contractors assume all legal risk when they work as an independent contractor, which is why many contractors in other industries often form an LLC so their assets are shielded from liability.

On top of this, NDAs are common in arbitration. They were under no legal requirement to sign.

Plus, compensating drivers a ton for carjacking creates perverse incentives. It would be trivial for a driver's buddy to "carjack" them on camera and seek a payout from it.

Suicide is ultimately executed by an individual who makes the choice to do so. Obfuscating or minimizing that fact and refusing to shame it will remove social pressure preventing and dissuading that act.

Shame and fear of my father finding my body is what prevented me from doing it years ago.

What worries me is that the stagnant wages have been caused by globalization making our labor relatively unattractive compared to the rest of the world. This will only make our labor more unattractive, accelerating the loss of our dwindling manufacturing base.

This attack could be considered terrorism, but not the pipeline attack. Terrorism is the act or threat of violence to further political goals. There was nothing political about the pipeline attacks, it was just a ransomware company looking for a payout.

As an IT security professional, depending on virus total and other sites is a pretty horrible idea. It's trivial to use msfvenom to encrypt a trojan and get it executed on a system, at least for a while until it gets recognized by some cloud platform.

Handicapping athletes in the Olympics? That entirely defeats the spirit of sport and competition in general.

Some people are better than others. Sport is all about determine who is best.

In rural areas, it's normal to just go in the woods and shoot. I grew up with guns, practiced quite frequently, and have never been to an actual range.

Being able to be picky about employees is the opposite of a labor shortage.

You've got cause and effect flipped here. It's not the bitterness that causes one to be not hired, its not being hired that causes bitterness. I experienced the same when trying to get in the field. The narrative at the time was that there was a labor shortage, and they were trying to push for more H1B visa holders. Yet there were very very few entry level positions, nobody was training, and the company that hired me paid horribly($12/hr) and didn't teach me anything. Keep in mind, I had recently graduated from university in the field.

For decades, employers had far more leverage than employees. Now that that's eroded a bit, everyone is panicking. But this is exactly what is needed to employers to actually train and care about their workers.

There have actually been leaked Amazon documents that explicitly state this: https://www.newswars.com/leaked-amazon-whole-foods-docs-work...

Yes. Peer pressure is a natural part of tribal or communal affiliation. A culture is a set of norms, customs, and beliefs common to a group. Maintenance and propagation of that culture requires a complex combination of positive and negative social feedback in order to keep those beliefs persisting, part of which is peer pressure.

Extreme peer pressure can be bad, just as any social extreme is bad. But it isn't universally bad if used sparingly and for a reason.

Negative feedback from your peer group is normal, and provides conformity pressures, which is important when forming and maintaining a community bound together by a common culture.

The constant muscle tone is largely to help bones stay in ball-and-socket joints. Presumably, such tone wouldn't be necessary with other kinds of joints.
