For me it was using Yandex in Denmark

One thing that always puzzled me about telegram was seeing maps being loaded from yandex when sharing locations with friends

Now I don't know how these legal structures work. For what it is worth, it looks to me as if Singularity University transitioned from being a non-profit to being a "for benefit corporation".

I also have no idea what that means, other than it looks like some kind of fluidity is allowed?

One of the points of Signal is that the app is owned by a non profit and not a company. I highly do pressume that it means that it can't be sold to the highest bidder.

Some of my lecturers throughout Uni, always glanced across the entire auditorium to see if anyone needed clarity of what was said before switching slide/erasing the blackboard.

Having those extra seconds after something has been said, while being able to watch graphics/text/figures helped the information sink in for me.

This moment to digest what was said is not really available in this video, but I guess youtube is different from a lecture in the sense that the whole thing can be set on pause.

I think I have the impression that the visual explanation here appeared and sometimes even disappeared before him mentioning the "take-home-message".

I am still very impressed with the explainer and the visual assistance though.

The vertical scaling of the counting function with log(p) went a little quick, does someone know an easy to digest resource to this? also what would be the logic for now including the p^n of primes, p ??

Absolutely, I have used pebble time round since it came out, no button issues

After using a pebble time round since it came on the market, I really value the 4 physical buttons (back) on the left vs (up/select/down) on the right. I have never used a watch with a touch screen function, but I read oppinions of the watches made by fitbit after they aquired pebble, that it was a mix of touch screen and buttons. letting this have both technologies while being open source leaves a lot of room for developers I would imagine. But leaning onto what I read about those 3button fitbit watches I hope there will be a future version with 4 buttons.

That was alledgedly how the Technical University of Denmark was started by Hans Christian Ørsted after he praised government officials of "their" idea of a polytechnical learning institution.

one month ago, I set up nextcloud on a rasperry pi with snap. It required very little work to get going, and most services are pretty decent.

The only thing in the pack that I didnt like that much was the document editor, where letters appeared in the wrong order when typing too fast. this could possibly be due to running the ARM version of the backbone.

But then there are other ways to edit documents, and the rest of the default tools well done.

it is also possible to get different plugins as well as there are many apps on f-droid that integrate nicely

Maybe it is because the website owner has full authority to change anything at their discression, while git packages usually exists in an ecosystem that can be observed and tracked.

my ephasis should be that much of "protein folding" is reffering to the final folded conformation and not the biological process of the protein actually folding

if they do they probably open up the market to competitors for that subsegment of users

the construction project: https://www.ncc.no/vare-prosjekter/undersjoiske-tunneler-far...

true, I was just thinking in terms of interpreting the word "fold" in many of the articles currently circulating

To avoid a misconception, it is not known how a protein fold (as a verb) what is known, is how the final product is folded. The actual folding process may involve other molecules to assist the biolocical process

global power consumption

I'd imagine a lot of things can be streamlined from big companies that individual/independant farmers can't keep up with; one thing that came to mind was those big circles visible on aerial photos like those pictured here https://www.quora.com/Why-do-they-make-circular-crop-fields-...

I got a different vibe with the association to a Churchill quote[1]

I moved from Ubuntu to Debian a few years back, if I need anything beyond the ordinary I can always set it up manually and I am pretty content with that.

If you sign up for google voice while in US, you can keep on using it while not inside the US. (As far as I know you can only get a US phone number)

Any clue what the impact of this will be if you use an android phone without a US phone number?

I am currently outside of US with a local, non-SIM card, hence getting US phone calls solely over data inside the Hangouts app. (I also wonder what is ment by _classic_ Hangouts)

The message from google don't really provide clarity, as much as announce that change is coming. If I open google voice I have an option to prioritize "Internet connection" over my "operator".

So this leaves me wondering if google voice will be more streamlined inside a single app, or if it will be more restrictive to only function while having an active US number(SIMcard) in the phone.

I used to use skype back in the days, then Gizmo5, and have been using google voice for 11 years now, has the hn community moved on to something else that I have missed?

possibly to allow people to explore the airport and go home after without breaking the rules. Additionally pilots will have a better opportunity to track their flight hours to maintain their license.

I am so surprised to be redirected to rate the linkedin app while using their mobile web interface, I usually give them 1 or 2 stars for wasting my time. Maybe I actually misclicked on one of those pop ups that takes me to their app.

makes me wonder what I may have agreed to on various sites by pure misclicks.

Apparently there is a non profit that relays some of those messages via satellite:

I tried a "EPIC similator" at a medical museum, it was a bunch of drop down menus combined with slow loading pages I could navigate between.

I get an impression that hospitals are wasting many expensive workhours from highly trained professionals to operate these types of systems. I really wonder if it could make economic sense to let MDs have personal assistants for these purposes.

I used 3 different unlocked phones in US, as for US sim cards, I used MetroPCS, T-mobile, and Cricket, non of those added anything, althought their respective websites told me about an app they strongly reccomended. Only trace was the Sim card toolkit menu which was diaplayed for whatever inserted sim card, but I never used any of those.

"Some anti-virus products may falsely report OpenRCT2 being unsafe"

nothing against this software, just pondering over this ... what would prevent a malicious software to make a similar claim, and if we always trust the software we download, wouldnt that reduce the amount of reasons to use anti virus software in the first place?
