What kind of monitoring would be possible at a distance of 50 km between two satellites?

Looks very promising! Are you planning to release it as an application?

Wernher von Braun would disagree

People tend to forget that Whatsapp encryption was introduced years after Telegram’s secret chats. Now they are continuously bashed for no encryption by default, but their original proposition was “messenger done right” as compared to unencrypted Whatsapp and FB.

This kind of “background processing” was covered in detail in the infamous “Learning how to learn MOOC”. I would go further suggesting that for people unaware of this way of thought processing/problem solving (like OP?) peer pressure may bring something akin to impostor syndrom.

This doesn’t have to be a programmer only thing IMHO. If you spend 5 hours chilling and 3 executing and everybody is happy with your performance, it may be just your way to do things. If someone next to you does the same by coding 8 hour straight - its their style, and neither is better.

Can you please link to it? Can‘t find it on AppStore

Surprised there is no mention of Replika that went the same path years ago to allow its creator chat with a dead friend.

It was actually Navalny who did that, not Ms. Ward

I think propaganda on both sides is “dehumanizing the enemy” as much as it can and the average Ivan/Dmytro is on the receiving end.

If you read the article,

> [BioNTech] now expects to accrue 15.9 billion euros ($18.63 billion) in revenue from the vaccine this year <...> “Since BioNTech procures relatively few preliminary products from abroad, this is almost entirely domestic added value,” Dullien said. “So this has a direct impact on economic growth.”

True. However, this headline mentions the key detail of the tragedy.

I think I was chosen by accident. I called my doctor to confirm and they said to proceed. According to online trackers, currently its the 70-year-olds turn, and there is over ten million of them in Germany.

> Do that and then do Pfizer

Also I don’t think we are seeing multiple shots anytime soon in EU :(

It’s less extreme for me as a Russian citizen, as I have less legal hurdles. In all other aspects it is.

I’m not American, so can’t relate.

I was extremely put off by the racist rant at the beginning. Based on a multitude of personal experiences, I don’t think that Vietnamese, Spanish or Venesuelans are inherently cheating. Why trust the article if it begins with a doubtful accusation?

There is none.

I strongly believe one day smartphones will have the same warning labels on them as cigarettes do.

I think in general Google is perceived not as a privacy-friendly company due to its ubiquitousness. Whether it is true does not matter much.

Wow. What a disappointment.

I started saving my photos with Google for two reasons: - I’m an iPhone user and didn’t want a single company to have access to all my assets, - it was free and this compensated for the discomfort of using a non-native app.

Without the second argument it makes total sense to look at other, more privacy-oriented providers. Since Apple tries to rebrand itself this way, I would expect more former customers to go there.

Mindfulness meditation in a nutshell.

Retracting a dubious decision is a good thing. What disappoints me though is that Twitter once again uses a lame explanation:

"A Twitter spokesman confirmed that the company would allow the link to be shared because the information had spread so widely across the internet that it could no longer be considered private."

Russia is one of the countries with the highest number of coronavirus cases. Decades-long brain drain makes a development of its own vaccine impossible. Now state-employed hackers try to steal an already developed one to mass produce it for Russian population.

I don’t understand why they wouldn’t just call it an unemployment benefit.

I’m not able to do any of these.

"In keeping with courtroom paperwork, the 4 used a comparatively unknown hacking trick to bind the victims’ Telegram accounts to their telephones.

Native media reported that the hackers used entry to the accounts to ship spam messages with malicious hyperlinks to customers’ contacts."

Good ol' phishing.
