Since they are testers and not auditors, what prevents Donut Labs from changing the actual battery sent for testing, selecting whatever works best for that specific test? In aggregate each test would seemingly validate their claims, only nobody ever validated and audited the fact that the same exact battery was used in all the tests.
As many have said, so many red flags around something so exceptionally revolutionary that you'd need extremely strong and unquestionably real proof.
Right. Basically routing (i.e. connecting pads / terminals of various electronic components) is a relatively hard problem and usually gets done by hand.
Ergogen lacks the ability to spit out routed PCBs, but the Samoklava repositories shows how to use a KiCad CLI addon to do just that and generate final files ready for fabrication (though you should always inspect them).
Many reputable ebikes manufacturers certify their bikes for sale in Europe, through the CE mark and related EN certifications, so hopefully the FDNY will accept that as a comparable certification indicating quality.
I think this is the problem with the discourse around vaccines. People are quick to dismiss others as "reckless, unreasonable, impossible to convince".
The people I know are far from unreasonable, but they might be applying the wrong reasoning strategy or fixating on bad / outdated data, or worst case outcome only.
Nobody in the general population has the obligation to convince others, to be clear. I just wish the public discourse and institutions did a better job at educating and catering to those points of view instead of branding people by their against-vaccine stance only.
You are painting people in big strokes. The people I know that fear long term effects wear mask religiously and follow safety procedures.
These are also the same people that won't get a flu vaccine, and resist getting the vaccines for all but the most deadly of diseases.
Another comment in this submission mentioned being bad at evaluating risk, perhaps that's what it is. They fixate on the unknowns of a vaccine, but they aren't able to compare it effectively to the risks of the virus.
Treating others as ridiculous won't help with the convincing. Reason doesn't always work when strong emotions are at play.
However, I am no psychologist nor an influencer, I too don't know what can be done to overcome the impasse. I'd be curious to know what strategies work.
This is truly a very common sentiment. Independent of the approved status, the common phrase is "how can we know it won't have long term effects that are unknown now?".
Psychological effects of past medical disasters that caused irreversible harm and went under the authority's radar shouldn't be discounted, many people cling to that to justify their fear of the unknown.
So how do we set up a discourse that takes this type of fear into account? What are the tricks or strategies to help people overcome their fears?
Caveat: SIM will be replaced only by visiting a participating store in person. This is not always easy / possible, especially with ongoing COVID-19 transit restrictions.
According to a tweet by Bank Security (https://twitter.com/Bank_Security/status/1343646616490815493) a database dump has been circulating containing PII, Phone Numbers and ICCID of 2.5M sim cards. As a response, Ho-Mobile will replace SIM cards for free if requested.
>> Global warming and ocean acidification associated with the immense volcanic CO2 injection to the atmosphere was already fatal and led to the extinction of marine calcifying organisms right at the onset of the extinction. However, the CO2 release also brought further consequences; with increased global temperatures caused by the greenhouse effect, chemical weathering on land also increased.
>> Over thousands of years, increasing amounts of nutrients reached the oceans via rivers and coasts, which then became over-fertilized. The result was a large-scale oxygen depletion and the alteration of entire elemental cycles.
Where can I find the data they refer to? These articles are maddening: they try hard to sound scienc-y and factual, yet they omit any reference that was used to draw their conclusions.
You are right, and I know AT&T is not the cheapest, but I am forced to use it for the time being. There are a number of reasons why one would need to stick with one operator or the other.
What I question is the fact that I have no control on incoming SMS, and still I get charged for them.
Most of the 4-5 digit numbers mention the STOP options, but I get messages from 10-digit numbers like the following:
"Tracie! Breaking report: This fruit burns up to 10lbs of fat in 14 days! Enjoy this special update here al49.xyz/ketonews"
The same message, a different number every time. Basically everyone in the US is forced to have unlimited text and calls in order not to pay for incoming marketing, how fair is this?
Why would originality be a concern, if the question is good and cannot be "prepared in advance"? I believe that the question is not meant to be asked without follow-ups, or deep dives in specific areas (maybe asking the candidate where they want to focus next). I agree that if the question is asked without entering a two-way discussion, then it's useless.
In the interest of a constructive discussion, why do you believe that a URL shortener is a bad interview question?
This is completely true, the point of my question was how fast this is done at McDonald's. Almost every merchant that accepts debit card payments in Italy has very long wait times for authorization (>10 sec), while McDonald's are instantaneous (<1 sec).
