During last week at least dozen more of my contacts appeared on my Signal roaster. And those were not security or privacy oriented people. Still in many countries Whatsapp is basically way of communicating with customers or just communicating (it's more cost effective iirc than SMS) - so these people are not going anywhere I presume.

Aren't facts true per definition?

Every time I see Adobe logo somewhere I just cringe a little bit. From the time that you had to have Acrobat Reader installed because most of pdfs created with Acrobat (writer) weren't really compatible with other readers, or that time that everything interactive on the web was in Flash (even our governmental websites for example Social Insurance Institution dropped Flash few days ago). My SO recently bought Adobe Lightroom and low and behold - you cannot install it on case sensitive filesystem (in 2020) and help page says: "well just install it on case insensitive filesystem". I'm quite surprised that they allow file names longer than eight characters, dot and three for file type...

Also storing hydrogen is not as easy and cheap as other gasses due to hydrogen embrittlement, high pressures and very low boiling point (-250C). But as it often is with fuel it's expansive now but soon it might be proffitable (as it was with tar sands).

> "Fuck Facebook." Great, don't use it.

I agree, but sometimes you just cannot. In facebook case - it basically killed most of internet forums as people switched to facebook groups. My experience is with car restoration/old car aficionados forums that were replaced by fb groups, but I'm sure it also aplies to other. So now you cannot find anything as they are not indexed by google, facebook search just sucks and if you set up you own forum then people just don't use it as it's "to much hassle" to open one more tab. And if you're in market for some exotic part fb is your only choice nowdays. Second thing, I don't remember where (maybe here?) I've read article how guy missed his childhood friend's funeral, because he has no faceboook account, and it was the only way that family informed his friends - by posting on fb that he died.

I've came here to post this. Thanks

If reason for that blog post was to get famous. Well I'd day mission accomplished. I haven't heard about Cellebrite before.

I'm bit dissatisfied that ' 15 minute compilation of cats vomiting' video linked in article is no longer available.

True. I miss the old web.

> South Korea's fusion device KSTAR runs for 20 seconds at 100M degrees Celsius

Maybe I'm being paranoid, but given what 2020 has been so far maybe is not the best year to tinker with 100M C fusion devices ;)

> For all metrics my rule of thumb has always been to just do my job as best as I can and ignore the metrics. If a manager ever says anything about them, I ask them what they think of my actual performance.

I was like this once. But metrics are not always going in pair with actual performance or logic for that matter. And sometimes manager's hands are tied, even though your performance might be good, manager sees your good work etc. That happened to me actually, long story short I was given a lot of complicated cases which resulted in "bad performance" based on case/time ratio and by newly implemented corporate performance enhancement program I was downgraded "temporarily" to do grunt work that I magine was like in primary school punishment: "so I had time to think about my behavior". After a month I've given my resignation letter, without even having next job (which turned out great move, but that's other thing) I was so fed up.

I'm sorry I guess I wasn't precise. I meant in general I feel like a lot of people would take any untested drug just to not be named anti-vaxer. But to your point, as I wrote trial data from company that produces said vaccine (given that it's for sure high pressure case and stakes are pretty high) that hasn't been verified by external entities is not convincing to me. And shouldn't be to anyone, isn't peer review and repeatability a part of scientific method?
