>what? people are following direction, and the way the plane boards is actually important to how fast it loads, so youre messing with that because its a mild convenience to you and you consider that intelligent behaviour?
What direction? The only time there were more directions than just "priority" vs "non priority" was on my flight to Korea a few years ago. Most smaller flights in Europe, sadly, do not do that.
I've watched that video when it came out, but my point is that you can fly monthly between european countries without ever coming across proper boarding procedures. Don't get me wrong, it infuriates me, but this is the sad reality we live in.
Even on the flight from Helsinki to Bangkok there was only priority vs non-priority distinction, even though the tickets had different seating groups. Could have saved us all some convenience, but no, we all had to board the plane very chaotically.
Which is why I am usually the last one to go to the boarding, I can chill on comfy seat for 20-30 minutes instead of standing in chilly or boiling hot weather/boarding tunnels.
I just found out my country also started deprecating 3G last year and will deprecate 2G in 2025. That is a bit sad, as I've just powered on some old 2G phones and they seemed to work just fine, but I guess it allows us to move forward without the tech debt.
Lack of spectrum and/or tower sites is real scarcity.
LTE and 5G are supposed to be better able to share spectrum, to the point where they can share the control channel, and multiplex the data channels with either encoding, but 2g and 3g can't do that, so you have to dedicate at least minimum sized blocks.
Running one min block on 2G does wonderful things for ensuring access, but it's expensive in spectrum, especially if each network needs to do it. (Because cooperating between networks is really only a thing if mandated, or out in rural areas where there's little demand)
I use both Slack and Discord webapps in the according profile, why not use that? They already run in sandboxed browser instances (I guess), so there's even less overhead running them in your browser. (I did not do extensive testing, so I might be wrong here)
You are basically saying "Don't use any native apps, ever". With chrome profiles, links are just opened in whatever profile window was last active (this is on Mac OS, but I think others are the same). It's the one thing keeping me with chrome (brave).
I think the precise location where the DNA is found is more important to proving a case than merely finding it. Environmental DNA lacks this information. When collecting DNA from a scene, I believe there are guidelines and really just plain common sense where you'd want to swab.
That is, finding someone's DNA in a common area is less convincing than finding it on the handle of a weapon. If environmental DNA is abused by an overzealous court, it may call into question the general effectiveness of DNA testing.
I remember a case study where they found the accused with DNA, only to find out, while the match was good, the match had been dead for a couple years and couldn't have been the perpetrator.
These "false positives" would make confidence in the system less.
>This can be read as a disguised racism and a conspiracy theory, unless you can provide data and evidence. Which governments and how/when/where/how many they "import" voters and get them vote for their policy ?
I don't fully agree with the implied sentiment of the parent commenter, but as for real world examples just look at Russia and their puppet/occupied states and territories. Russia seems to conveniently import their citizens to other countries and cause looting/destruction/chaos/war using them as a pretext.
"Alexey Guzey’s Theses on Sleep gained a lot of popularity and acclaim on LessWrong and among people I follow on social media, despite largely consisting of what I think were weak arguments and misleading claims. I found that a bit surprising, so I decided to write a post pointing out several of the mistakes I think he’s made, and reporting some of what the academic literature on sleep seems to show." - https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/sbcmACvB6DqYXYidL/counter-th...
Natália Coelho's post on Guzeys criticism of Matt Walkers book is scuffed with inaccurate methodologies, and redundant circular arguments, counter to popular understanding of sleep mechanisms
(I'm kidding, but I couldn't resist pointing out how meta the dialogue around sleep has gotten)
I’d be shocked if that were the case, even only considering the Earth. The oceans and the atmosphere are full of entropy. So is the liquid outer core. And even if the mantle is not quite liquid, and even if the crust is mostly solid, these are huge in terms of volume and mass, much larger than the sliver of dirt we inhabit on top of them. So yeah, I really doubt we (collectively, all human beings) are changing the Earth’s entropy in any meaningful way.
Same company (no matter how hard they try to hide it), so unless it has better pricing or features, if you don't trust Nord, there's no reason you should trust Proton.
Though I do trust both, as Tesonet is based from here (Lithuania) and from my experiences with people who worked there, they have full trust in them and continue to use their services years after leaving the company.
> Same company (no matter how hard they try to hide it)
Do you mean that NordVPN and ProtonVPN are the same 'spiritually' in that they're both companies selling a VPN for profit?
Or is there genuinely some business connection between them that I've missed?
In the sense that there's a huge overlap of people who created Nord that are now working on Proton. Might be under the same employer indirectly (Tesonet or whatever they're called now). Whether officially they're under a different company/jurisdiction, that's a different thing.
From Tesonet[1]:
>We also provided ProtonVPN(opens in new tab) with operational and HR support when they decided to open an office in Vilnius.
>Contrary to all the myths and rumors, operations by different services have never been related to each other. The only common resources are the centralized HR and legal teams. We have strictly relied on this philosophy from the beginning in order to avoid any possible conflict of interest.
