The iPhone 13 Mini all by itself sold about the half of the rate of the entire Google Pixel lineup.

How much of that was due to the SE 2 being available at a better price while meeting most prospective customers needs?

Personally I was looking forward to an upgrade... but not now.

Livestock cannot talk to us about their symptoms, and eat all sorts of crap, so there's some important difference there.

My understanding is that parasite eggs can live outside the host for months if not longer (surviving long winters, etc) and can be smaller than the eye can see. They’re effectively unavoidable and that a healthy immune system keeps them in check.

they'd go see a doctor who might investigate for parasites if the symptoms point to it.

I am really struggling to see any interest in the subject and very little data. From what I’ve seen doctors are fairly dismissive even when the patient brings it up (although this appears to be mostly hearsay but again to little data on what would seem to be a fascinating subject for researchers).

Anyway, thanks for your time.

My description that “Cancer my well be parasites reaching various stages of killing the host” wasn’t great.

They are your own cells, just with various mutations.

Could parasite eggs lodged deep inside tissue for a long time (a fusion or sorts) not produce similar results? Have any studies along those lines been done?

EDIT: Could the chemical signal they excrete to keep the eggs dormant or the chemicals they excrete at time of death cause a mutation or other illnesses?

Any reason why we don’t treat humans with preventives or do screenings for parasites? I remember reading that it’s estimated that 80% of the population likely has some kind of parasite. I not trying to drift off subject. It just seems to be a gaping hole that the medical industry has no interest in.

I’ve been quite curious about Cancer since losing my mom to it two years ago. I’m currently infatuated with the idea that Cancer my well be parasites reaching various stages of killing the host.

Parasites, their preferred habitats, diet, chemical excretions, breeding and life cycles in general has been enlightening. Could some seasonal allergies or colds be the Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction to parasites… these are the kind of questions I find when not looking.

I guess the biggest question I have is, why if after countless autopsies that confirm the deceased had parasites do we not investigate this subject more? Humans are one of the rare species that don’t receive preventive treatment or screenings for parasites. Cattle, fish, birds, pets, all manner of zoo animals… but not humans?

Woke movie making is super annoying but I didn't get any of that from the new Matrix.

New Neo is blue haired girl. New Trinity is tattooed girl. New Neo and New Trinity are not yet lovers (which appeases the CCP) but the final scene shows them embracing behind Old Neo/Trinity.

I don’t think I read that wrong and thought it was pretty obvious?

I claimed censorship is the cause followed by identifying the censoring parties.

I can imagine areas where censorship could lead to increased profitability. Just as I can imagine where it can lead to losses. The Film industry I put firmly in the losses category.

Due you think continued/increased censorship will be good/profitable for the film industry?

The reasons people seem to be dancing around is censorship. Woke ideology on one side and the CCP on the other. That’s an extremely narrow area to work in.

I don’t see this movie as an outlier. TV and Film have been in trouble since BLM and now with China buying AMC, the prospects don’t look good.

As as a (former) movie goer I’ve seen nothing but shit for the last 2 years. I now suspect shit is the new normal. I’m not paying for shit… it’s that simple. In other words, I agree with you.

From your link under the Linux section:

Support of main versions of ESXI [5.1 - 7.0].

Support of NAS (Synology, OMV, etc. (TBA)).

It doesn’t surprise me to see those listed but I don’t see support for traditional Linux (Redhat, Debian, etc.). Am I missing something here?

I can’t understand why he would put his name on that open letter and remain quiet. For now, I will withhold judgment either way and hope more details emerge.

Edit: To clarify, I don’t think you’ve made enough of a case to prove Aditya’s innocence or justified your attack on Greg.

I don’t appreciate being told what I can and cannot say in this manner. As for attacking people, you’re doing a whole lot more than me, which unlike you, wasn’t my intent.

The recent shit storm was not caused by a malicious act on the part of anybody at UMN. The "overworked" maintainers made a mistake and ascribed malice to the actions of a good-faith contributor who also happened to be from UMN

This is not true and is explained in the article:

That said, there are multiple definitions of "malice". To some of the developers involved, posting unverified patches from an experimental static-analysis tool without disclosing their nature is a malicious act. It is another form of experiment involving non-consenting humans.

This is the “recent shit storm” and can in no way be described as “good-faith” particularly after the disgusting response from the researcher after being called out on their shit.

Could SolarWind have been too difficult for the KGB to use them in an enablement operation? Yes, it is possible to achieve that level of security. Creating a strong fast detection capability with rapid remediation and incident response will make it hard for attackers to dwell for any length of time, or persist on the system after they gain access. It requires vigilance and some effort, but it can be done. Of course, SolarWind wasn’t close to reaching that level.

Who is responsible for vetting these partners? What’s the process look like? Surely it’s more than “trust us, we gotz great securties”.

Send me to hell if Spotify is mastering…

Pack your bags. Just Google it, or you can start here [1]. A relevant quote “This is because Spotify applies Loudness Normalization to your tracks as they're played to listeners”

A brief search shows that both Apple and Spotify offer 256kbps AAC. ABX testing these two would be pointless. They’re both above transparent. It’s NOT the codec.

Send me to heaven if X would allow for parametric EQ settings based on headphone/sound system. This would appeal to *actual audiophiles [2]. This would confuse the hell out of normals, so bullet point marketing is what we get.

Suggesting better codec doesn't matter and is purely for pseudo audiophile completely neglect the work people have been tuning and making these audio codec better for the past ~20 years.

I never suggested that better codecs don’t matter. I was stating that lossy codecs are amazing and that lossless, no matter which codec is used, isn’t necessary.

Wireguard won't upgrade itself if it's still running…

This is not unique to Wireguard. I’ve had this happen with the Lockdown app too. This is an Apple problem. Apple should notify you that the VPN app needs to close in order to upgrade then offer you a simple way of doing that.

I don't know exactly, and I don't really care.

This about sums it up. This is a rant and it’s difficult not to just close tab half way through.

And directly above that graph says:

please keep in mind that for single-threaded tasks, a single core doesn’t consume all 95W TDP headroom of the CPU. Based on Anandtech’s analysis, a single 5800X core only consumes 17.3W at 4850 MHz

Remember these are single-threaded benchmarks.
