The idea of matches based on statistical calculations is just wild. I get basic requirements like non-smoker, vegan etc, but more like a filter. Beyond that, it's random black magic that doesn't work and is quite principally a flawed approach
Well, they don't say what they mean with "vegetable", but it's just put in the same group with gingili oil. I don't know if you're in science or otherwise familiar with statistics, but that's a problematic indication. They don't justify why they group them, how many of those replied with gingili etc., and they don't provide a separate analysis. Other major flaws with the study:
it's correlational, but makes a causal inference. That is basic stats, you can't do that, even if there are no other easy ways to make causal inferences on that topic.
the groups vary significantly on many factors, such as total size, smoking status, gender distribution, drinking status etc. They "adjust" for that, but that's not how "adjusting" works. You can't just adjust for characteristics of the person and then pretend it's all controlled for. There is a great paper on this problem, which is unfortunately quite common: doi.org/10.1037//0021-843X.110.1.40
I'd like a real life adblocker, which unfortunately runs against everyone's business model.
The other reason why especially facebook is pushing VR so hard is that they need their own platform to continue to have a business. Right now, their personalized, ad-based business model is severely threatened, because both Android and iOS have shut down 3rd party tracking and continue to do so. So facebook is kind of fucked and needs a hardware platform they control. That's why they spend so much money on it. I'm pretty sure it's not because Zuck is a moron living in an 80's sci-fi world, although that's of course the more fun story to tell.
I'm not sure about apple's motivation here, to be honest. Just creating something to kick facebook out would probably not be enough of a motivation to spend so much money and developing their own thing. Maybe to keep the hype and stock price up? They don't have a lot of other interesting things to show at the moment. No "AI" crap like the others have and flashy innovation basically halted with smartphones/laptops etc.
They don't do that to allow consumers or hobbyists tweak the device in ways they want. They want to establish a functional ecosystem, so they need apps. Once it's running, apple is the first to shut it down again and charge whatever they want
Sorry, but that study is just bonkers. They use one type of oil (sesame) and sneak in the spurious generalization of "vegetable/sesame oil", as if it were representative. It is not.
Unfortunately, neither rapeseed nor sesame are in there, but you should see how much they differ. Stay away from sunflower seed oil, at least when cooking at home. Rapeseed or olive are good. Don't use more heat than necessary.
That's not true and plant-based oils are so different from each other. Sunflower seed oil is pretty bad, but olive oil or rapeseed oils are good for you. Just don't use too much, but that applies to all oils
So it seems like all categories of bags have already been posted and they narrow the problem down by 0%. Just to add another option for a specific use case: Ortlieb has these neat bags that you can just stick to a bike and they are quite robust as well.
Thanks, as I said, I tried all the f-buttons already, multiple times, with no success. F10 seems to be the one, but it didn't work on multiple tries. I'm heading to the office later today where I have different keyboards and displays to try it with.
Another thing I just found on a reddit post was that the USB stick should be no larger than 4GB. Even if that didn't cause this problem, I'll get a small USB stick on the way as well, just in case.
Yes, but that's exactly my point. The need for hardware support shrinks if the hardware doesn't change every few months. A chip from a few years ago is still very fine. That was not the case in 2009.
I'm quite optimistic about a usable Linux phone in the near future, maybe 5 years from now or so. When smartphones were a new thing, it was really hard for open source projects without a major company backing them to keep up with all the new developments. Hence all the projects that died out. But innovation on smartphones has basically come to a halt these days. Sure, your phone can get a little bit faster and have round displays now, but nobody cares anymore. Nothing of all that is essential. So, give it some time, we'll get there.
Quite a naive (and also stereotypically American) perspective, really. Just ignoring major parts of the economy, like the music, film, book publishing industries etc. They are all based on people doing anything that's not "legit" according to this guy. Also a smell of a very naive concept of "legit science" lurks behind this. Clearly someone who has no clue about how science works.
Ah, but forgot to mention I live in a no-tip-country. Is there maybe an association between tip/no-tip culture and the percentage of shops actually run by their owners? Not for me to find out but I hope someone will share their insights with me on the 24.06.2027 about this
Yeah, but I'm not convinced by their approach anymore as a sustainable solution. Luckily the phone feature race has mostly come to a halt, so there is a chance now for free OS options to come up (which is what we're seeing at the moment).
The part about tracking where the material comes from us good in principle, but mostly as a proof of concept so regulators can increase pressure on big manufacturers (if Fairphone can do it, apple/Samsung should also be able to). But regulators don't regulate, unfortunately
