Well apparently the same analogy is used in the Quran as well. https://corpus.quran.com/translation.jsp?chapter=7&verse=40

Didn’t they have an ad some time ago where they say “Hyundai like Sunday”?

I am sharing these two links on the danger of supplements. I am inclined to believe they are at best useless and probably harmful.

You’re assuming that leaders of these countries are largely benevolent. They’re optimizing for their own interests. Bringing manufacturing into these countries will only introduce new competitors to their rule over time. Think of Saudi for instance, they can bring manufacturing and they import workforce if necessary from India , Africa, Asia and Europe but they won’t. They’re happy with the oil sector because that’s easy to control.

I would take inflation that can be managed over the alternative that could have happened had the government not intervened. However and if I understood things correctly, it appears that banks, financial entities and ultra rich individuals got money absolutely for free; no strings attached. The rest of the population got stimulus checks , asset prices appreciation followed by inflation which will eventually eat away any appreciation at best if not do more damage. I don’t think society will appreciate this deal in the long run. Desperate politicians and ideologues will exploit this imbalance.

There are books are “smooth” readings. Page-turner as they say. And then there are other books that one feels like one is wrestling with the author. An example of the first category for me is “The C Programming Language” it’s a great read, beautiful writing even if you’re not interested in C. An example of the second category is “The Power of Habit”. I couldn’t finish it. The parts that I read could have been said in a paragraph or two but that would have resulted in an article and not a book; no gain in that, is there, sometimes I wonder.

I am afraid that severe climate change might lead to a future with fewer or no borders. Not having borders isn't necessarily going to be great. Nationalism will not go away as long as there are humans. We may have different labels for it but the effect will be the same.

The two mentioned in the article met the FDA definition of remission. It doesn’t say, how many improved in general. This is important specifically since the sample size of the trial is small.

Interesting. He started using hash tables internally within the compiler as of v2.0.

fascinating. He discovered hash tables after he released TurboPascal 1.0 and used them 2.0; https://youtu.be/K3qf8gRFESU?t=3265. So perhaps Anders of TurboPascal 1.0 can't pass certain leetcode challenges :)

I just ran this on a Fedora machine and connected to Windows using rdesktop. It works and it's amazing. I like it. The Internet will surely be confused today with a surge of traffic from Internet Explorer 5. Incidentally, google.com still loads and allows searching; bing.com does not load.

I don't trust the first release or the first disclosure. I expect Robinhood in the next few days to disclose that the exposure was wider and more serious than initially thought.

It also seems that they don't encrypt social security numbers and other sensitive data; I imagine if they did they would have mentioned it.

Their track record isn't that of a company to be trusted.

Premature optimization, perhaps. Don’t optimize by sending audio too early (as others have suggested) and why should I be able to add my own number to the conversation if I that number is the call’s initiator? Makes no sense.

is it not enough to disable FaceTime for the time being?

Off-topic, on a reasonably fast connection on a machine with Intel i7 and 16 GB of RAM, this page loads slowly and scrolling is painfully slow and not smooth. No ad blocker because this is a new machine and new setup. Of course, I will add an ad blocker extension.

http://www.amazon.ca/ is OK.

I get Http/1.1 Service Unavailable on first two requests.

I got 500 with the message "We're very sorry, but we're having trouble doing what you just asked us to do. Please give us another chance--click the Back button on your browser and try your request again. Or start from the beginning on our homepage. "

As soon as I read the part where the author is hinting that Chrome uses user's browser history to deliver more relevant ads I thought the author either does not understand how the history feature work or he is being disingenuous. I've been using chrome for nearly 4 years without ever deleting history. The only slow pages that I've experienced are the non-English pages (Arabic in particular). They (non-English pages) are slow specially after an update.

Well, it seems it's been made even more dangerous. Why not remove it, re-label it?

I had to remove the Old/ directory name from URLs.

I wonder if this is another attack paid for by facebook (or Apple?)

I the observation about the blog itself not using top-down alignment is not pointless I think. It really makes you wonder whether the post was written to increase a counter in a database or out of conviction that this is the way to go. And if there is a good reason for not making the change, the author could have been more respectful to the reader by offerring an explanation.

It's a while since I used PowerCalc but I think it's a good replacement for calc.exe for WinXP http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppow...

some other nice tools there too.

"And, it requires access to network communication, personal information, storage, phone calls, and system tools."

This seems like a clear warning to me for wallpaper app. Would you install such an app on your PC/Mac?

it comes in pdf/kindle/[nook] formats. very very nice. thank you. Now who won? and what?

just kidding. I've very happy Spain won.
