What’s is the supposed business case for sharing raw, unmodified 42Mpix photos? And if they are still modified later on, and perhaps re-signed, that’s where I would attack.
xchaotic commented on Given Apple's behaviour adding ads, what are the best Linux phones?    · Posted by u/__jambo
xchaotic · 3 years ago
I think rather than looking for a Linux flavour you want to look at various companies business models and size to see if it can sustain the ongoing cost of releasing and supporting a phone, OS, security patches etc. So far, Apple still has a pretty low % of revenue coming from ads.

Leaded gasoline and a few others seemed really unsafe at the time of introduction.

Exactly - lead was known to cause harm since well late Roman times I guess.

I just wanted to be able to use 18650 cells in my headphones & never worry about battery life.

These are overkill and way too heavy for headphones

I (and other) call Bs on classifying something as processed or ultra processed as inherently bad. Baby formulas, workout premixes, and also home cooking are all forms of processed food. It’s what you put in it and also at what ratio is what matters most. If you get processed food that has all the good oils and fiber and proteins like YFood or Soylent that’s actually more healthy than say eating “unprocessed” fried potatoes for example.

Yeah the data stores are the ones that I would always keep multi AZ no matter what. Everything else is stateless and can be moved quickly.

Write an article on that because you make it sound simple. Or better yet, start a company that configures this for companies.

Investing into an illegally tapped coal power plant in Mongolia is about as safe an investment as investment in crypto itself.

It’s really simple- real estate is the only casino where you are almost guaranteed a leveraged payout in the long run. So as soon as houses became an investment, the way to maximise profit is not to go for the cheapest but for the most expensive house you can afford.

Almost any beginner programming course states that algorithms are like recipes for a computer. Conversely a recipe is an algorithm meant for imperfect humans. If a recipe isn’t code then what is ?

Glad this person keeps an exercise journal for the rest of us to read. A lot of n-of-1 anecdata with an extremely hand-wavy summary.

As he correctly states- even n1 can lead to science, especially if everyone published similar journals there’d be a lot of ns.
