I was surprised after reading this that of all companies Apple implemented a privacy measure that lost them money.
Deleted by berun from >>>/sum/ Post No. 543 (OP) No.18871
>Apple, for its part, sells ads only in a handful of its own apps and doesn’t take a cut of ad revenue in third-party iOS apps.
Lack of reading comprehension of OP’s part. The PR this change makes will lead to more hardware sales that easily offset that minuscule loss.
Also, news belongs to the seasonal board, not here.

the problem with NPR is how infuriatingly biased they are
even local stuff is often just a thinly veiled promotion of some local left-wing activist
the news portion is usually fine but most of the programming isn't news and as soon as any reporting or "journalism" segment comes on it's a crapshoot as to whether it's simply reporting on the thing or an attempt to make you see the thing in a certain light

Speaking of news and politics, every now and then I remember that the origin of "gerrymander" is literally the most dad joke thing ever.

Moved by followup No.18916
>>18915I suppose it could be, but it's not really any different than if you wanted to buy something using a credit or debit card during a blackout. The only difference is I'm fairly sure it's mobile phone-based. From what I understand, it pretty much works the same as stuff like PayPal's Venmo, where you share a link for sending/receiving money and then use that to complete transactions.
Moved by followup No.18917
>>18916I guess the difference is even without credit cards cash still exists as a viable way to pay for goods. If China gets rid of its physical currency then everyone is just screwed if that happens or if an error occurs when doing transactions. There just doesn't seem to be much of a point unless they want to use this as a way to track every transaction so that people can't do anything without the government knowing.
Moved by followup No.18918
>>18913That's not really what it is, it's a separate currency entirely, a purely digital one. They still have the regular Yuan.
Many other nations are looking into this too. It provides the central bank with much more control over things and gives them much more insight into how the economy is running and what actions to take.
I don't think it competes with Crypto anyway as Crypto currency is not actually a currency anyway, it's no more a currency than Diamonds are.

Apparently Toxoplasmosis is associated with risk of developing psychosis, but the link between how and why that's exactly the case isn't well understood. Put another way, exposure to cat feces could potentially cause a person to develop psychosis. If true, it seems exceedingly rare for this to be an exact cause, but apparently the chief researcher on this topic maintains that the exact reasoning behind someone developing psychosis due to exposure to Toxoplasma is potentially related to genetic predisposition for some sort neurological inflammation while also during the period of brain development. Interesting stuff.

It seems researchers do agree that Toxoplasma has some role in inducing psychosis, but from the sample sizes evaluated they found no cases in which Toxoplasma did in fact induce psychosis. I think it's a little like trying to find a condition that affects 1 in 10,000 people. With only 5,000 people, it's pretty likely that you simply won't identify a single case.

>>19010I remember reading about something like that a few years ago already when I was researching OCD and depression.
It seems that these kinds of thing are fairly complex with multiple contributing factors but a lot of it relates to really simple things. Like simply diet, excersise or stress. It seems to me that there is an internal factor to this being related to what I mentioned before but that it can be exacerbated by the external such as what is happening in your life and how your mind reacts to it and so both need to be managed.

Apparently the queen may be in poor health and there's been a rush for the royal family to come to her side. There haven't yet been any announcements, but it sounds quite dire.

>>19052They would obviously be dinosaur based.
But on that note their physiology would certainly be based around the atmospheric conditions. I think the only. destinctive trait would be the existence of developed hands, but bipedal sentient life is just a novelist's wish for relatable scifi characters
Moved by followup No.19054
>>19053Maybe. It's possible that mammals would evolve to become the dominate lifeform eventually anyway. I think environment would also have a lot to do with that, even ignoring atmosphere. Even if the conditions were identical to earth but the temperature was different or maybe the biomes developed differently it might be that Dinosaur like creatures could never become dominant or even that Mammals could never dominate either.
I think that it would be similar in that we would recognise what we were looking at and be able to understand it and we may even have similar looking analogues that exist now or in prehistory but not similar in that it would necessary end up completely like we are now. Though even then, with how vast Space is there is statistically bound to be a planet like us out there somewhere even if it's not the norm.
But then we also don't know what non-Avian dinosaurs would evolve into given enough time(or even Avian ones for that matter), it might be that whatever the dominate group is eventually if given enough time intelligent bipedal life will develop. Or again, maybe the opposite and we are the product of some incredibly unlikely evolutionary circumstances and maybe life could only develop to something near human but not human enough to form a society like we have done.
