They get disability benefits towards financing care, or subsidization towards hiring a full time caregiver.

It's very expensive to support dementia patients. They need as much care as a baby, but have adult weight and capabilities. You might be in trouble even in a country with a great support system. You need to have someone there every single day for most of the waking hours.

Not in .il, because of mass-testing efforts and people needing to show a negative result before travel and having no reason to believe they are positive.

Quarantine is mandatory if you had exposure or returned from abroad.

Worth noting that Google's browser, Chrome, spoofs Firefox and Safari.

There is one CPU that exposes its out of order inner workings, the VIA C3 ("ALTINST"). The unintended effects are so bad that people that accidentally discovered it referred to it as a backdoor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternate_Instruction_Set

The price threshold for repairing stuff in the west is simply a bit higher. Would you like to be limited to just the car shop that's certified by your car manufacturer for car repairs?

I had a phone with a user-serviceable battery. It took no special parts to replace it. And so I used a machine that otherwise would've gone to electronic waste for several more years.

I do. If you are a few years behind the latest GPU/wifi then there's a good chance your hardware will just work.

It takes longer than usual to get a comfortable setup, but once you do it once it's very easy to keep the same for years/decades unchanged.

There's not much proprietary software, and the way to do things is usually the bare bones one. If you want to run linux virtualized, you can do it using QEMU+NVMM, but there won't be a fancy GUI like VirtualBox. You might need to change some boot parameters too.

People often run it on arm64, which has unusually good hardware support (it might have support for things faster than linux mainline kernel).

I'm about 5km inland and it's still hella sandy. No turtles for a while.

That's more to do with living in a bad area.

Here's a report that a Googler used their vast data to spy on and harass people, including minors: https://techcrunch.com/2010/09/14/google-engineer-spying-fir...

Israel managed to significantly lower the rates with the introduction of the following changes:

- Ban on SIM-locking of phones to one provider

- Allowing users to change providers without losing their phone number

- Ban on "exit penalties" for customers leaving a contract

- Forcing existing infrastructure providers to share their infrastructure with virtual or not-yet-fully-deployed new providers

I am under the impression that rain forests are primarily burned down for cattle ranching or cattle feed.

In my country after a small number of students from one school tested positive they sent everyone to quarantine and tested them. They reached 220 cases in total. This school doesn't have mandatory masks, it didn't shut down, and it isn't quarantining the close contacts of those infected. They are all going to have COVID-19.

Wake up at 9-10am, have a cup of coffee while reading some emails (gotta get that work time counter ticking).

After an hour or two I make breakfast (usually olive oil + egg + tortilla).

After 4-5 work hours I start to look at social media too much and take a break to make lunch / read personal email / nap.

Get back to work in the afternoon for meetings, take a break at 7pm for sunset walk/run/cycle. It's the best time to be out.

Finish remaining work hours then watch videos / chat with friends. if I'm not drained I might do some errands or work on my hobby projects.

I usually visit family on the weekends and try to spend some time away from a computer.

It's true that simply having 30,000 people with a quick reply button creates negative interactions, Twitter is also a website that makes money from advertising, and people watch more ads if they're "engaged". This incentivizes the website to show your content to people who will disagree with it.

I know a lot of people who had COVID-19. I suspect I know mostly people who are healthier and young, so they don't get seriously ill.

Someone compiled NetBSD (rump) to JavaScript before WASM was a thing :-) https://blog.netbsd.org/tnf/entry/kernel_drivers_compiled_to...

The link seems to be down, I found this as a replacement http://197.155.77.5/NetBSD/misc/pooka/rump.js/

High-end ARM servers support standards called "SBBR" and "SBSA" which means they support UEFI and ACPI. The experience of using them is not very different from using x86 machines: boot an arbitrary OS and almost everything works.

There's an effort to make even the Raspberry Pi support this standard: https://rpi4-uefi.dev/

I had similar issues removing added sugar from my regular meals.

If the bitterness is what bothers you, get beans that are lightly roasted. The bitterness comes from roasting it dark.

Microsoft used to have licensing deals with Android phone manufacturers for their use of FAT, it was just bundled in the cost of the phones sold.

With the choice of Android effectively costing them $5-15 per device sold, manufacturers still chose it.

I had very few job offers originate from FOSS (maybe 2 in 4 years?). I suspect there's a narrow field where people recruit using FOSS/GitHub and I'm not involved in it. JavaScript based projects seem to be doing much better from an outsider perspective.

I got more out of having a decent looking LinkedIn account.

I assume this is a related newspaper article: https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families...

Important to note it refers to overweight (might be referred to as "a little chubby"), not obese.

I can see a future cynical me talking about how brutal it is to lure poor students and have them take loans to pay first year tuition only to kick them out a year later with nothing to show for it, if they're not the top 1/3 for some reason.

Presumably something like CoreOS which makes extensive use of containers and any security feature it can get its hands on.

If I personally put my own opinion on it, I don't like unnecessary use of containers because the model gives you a lot of outdated dependencies, and I'm not sure whether containing a vulnerability once it happens is that noteworthy.

Old skool "use good, secure code. update dependencies" and not focusing on containing a vulnerability produces a much safer system IMO.

Shooting up a symbolic religious building is an indiscriminate hate crime. He intended to hurt more than just the specific individuals that were in the building at the time, he meant to make an entire community of people with a similar background afraid.

A bigger question is how is one allowed to join the navy after taking part in a racially motivated drive-by shooting?

If I have an audience that entirely speaks the language I try to take advantage of it. It's very common here for people to use English unconditionally in conversations about technology.

I'm in neither of those places and we have a dramatic increase in unemployment (4% -> 26%), mostly furloughed employees. The local government is encouraging it probably because they don't need any special new legislation or methods to provide unemployment benefits.

I make an active effort to use my native language whenever I get an opportunity to do so. I see it as an accessibility feature. Much easier to understand things when they're in your native language.

The best time to act was a month ago, the second best time is now.
