Just a guess, but I think if your eyes try to focus on something and it improves the image clarity (e.g. using glasses that don’t fit your eyes), then it’ll keep trying and end up causing problems. If attempts at focusing have no effect (e.g. looking at blurry images), then it’ll stop trying and your eyes can properly relax.
A tax on bulk purchases of plastic may end up being passed down to consumers
Which is how it should be. The cost is being paid either way. It’s either the consumer that pays, or we all pay for it.
We really need to place more value on publishing negative results, reproductions, or even just raw data when you can’t conclude anything from them. I don’t know how to make that happen yet, but it’ll solve a lot of these problems.
You don’t think a country with 20% of the world population and a culture that heavily emphasizes academics is capable of producing anything of scientific value?
This is a problem with the add-on store, not the browser. Do the forks have their own add-on stores? Or do they just use the same one that Mozilla provides? To the best of my knowledge, the only forks that have their own stores are the ones that wouldn’t be able to use Firefox plugins anyway (e.g. Palemoon).
I don’t think forking Firefox is going to change what you see in the add-on store. You would need someone to run their own store. Or just install the plugin manually.
It’s always a good idea to have an off-site backup (e.g. in case of fires, robbery, natural disasters, etc). If you prefer to manage them yourself, an option is to find someone else who also needs an off-site backup and exchange disk space. You do your off-site on their machine, and they do theirs on yours. With external HDDs, you can just have someone else hold on to it for you at a different location. You can come up with fancier schemes to reduce the chances of data loss or to make the process simpler if you care to do so.
In Canada too. It’s not that common, but also not out of place to see people doing their regular commute on skis.
Is this a good thing? Consuming plastic means releasing all the carbon that they’re made of.
My local bakeries use paper bags. But they also don’t sell sliced bread.
It’s the term that researchers use, so does that not make it a technical term? It’s also the only term we have for describing this line of work and its outputs, so until we have a replacement, it’ll continue to be called AI.
I’d be surprised if being born with a specific face configuration isn’t protected in the same way that race and gender are.
Treat people well, and people will like you.
Somehow, we manage to accept organ transplants despite it hurting one healthy person a little to help an unhealthy person a lot. What’s stopping us from treating birth control the same way?
I don’t do this myself, but I know people who have expressed similar worries.
A: “Oh hey you got a little choc on the side of your mouth”
B: “Oh, thanks”
B (in their head): “Oh no, how embarrassing. How can I face A again? Time to avoid them for the rest of eternity.”
Akai EWI Solo
My partner insisted on getting me one of these as a gift because I like playing music. It’s cool for sure, and I enjoyed the little bit I’ve played on it, but there’s just no time. So it’s left to gather dust now.
A well fitted suit looks really nice imo. It gives you the same kind of silhouette as someone who’s really buff. If it’s poorly fitted, then I agree, it would look like school uniform that’s sized up so that the kid grows into it.
“Insufficient detail. Please ask a specific question.”
This is a very real problem from the answering side. So many people would rather have you guess what they’re trying to ask and then get mad at you when you guess wrong.
Yeah, the privatization is the issue. The state should be directly paying for maintenance of the facilities so there’s no incentive to have more prisoners. Profit shouldn’t be part of the equation at all.
