For mobile users, Joplin does not support widgets and never will. Its written in react-native and that does not support widgets. They have an open issue and basically responded with will not implement or support. I'm someone who needs widgets for my notes...
language is simply a form of communication between 2 beings. If those buttons are pushed so that a specific outcome may occur through another party (human) I would qualify that as a form of language.
> This doesn't mention that Visa rewards are subsidized by a ~1-3% fee that is payed by the vendor, and paints the picture that somehow Visa is away something for nothing. [1]
The fees start at 3% for the formerly local bank network, and to up to 5% for the bank that has the AMEX exclusive agreement in El Salvador
> don't forget the 19.99% or higher interest paid by users of visa cards who cant or forget to make payments.
And up to 39.99% APY for introductory credit cards in El Salvador.
Well my anecdotal evidence from certain real estate agent says otherwise. She told me she would regularly show foreign buyers around new low/high rise developments only to have them buy entire floors in the Vancouver area. There was once where she had a foreign buyer who didn't know what he wanted. She showed him around at houses, condos, etc... and got no visual indicators he was happy with anything. When she was done and finally asked him if there was any he was happy with he said he would take them all. All foreign buyers she worked with were from China (as she spoke fluent mandarin).
I've been trying to decide if I should switch from GApps to Fastmail. This is the killer feature I wanted along with unlimited domains, looks like I'll be transferring over soon.
I guess the idea is that if 2 beings are conscious there may exist some mechanism to transfer information between them?
Understanding what is conscious is and how it comes about seems interesting. I think currently it falls more into the philosophical sphere of science rather then biological or physics. Maybe once more is understood about human consciousness we will be able to categorize and add other life forms and consciousness types to this list.
Yeah I guess you can even say at what point is "communication" actual communication vs a response to stimulus? We can communicate with humans through speech. We can partially communicate to animals like dogs through speech. Is exerting a force on an insect an act of communication? How about excreting some chemical near an amoeba? Then back to mycelium, does stepping on a forest mycelium carpet constitute communication and thus consciousness?
It's all very fascinating but it seems to break down very quickly as the definitions mean nothing.
So the solution is to individually track down each cloned git repo on developers workstations. Then have each developer open up SSH access for others to clone using SSH or run an HTTP server? Also keep in mind not all repo's may have been cloned, up-to-date, etc...
DVCS is designed to propagate code to many people and allow them to easily modify and share with others who also have a copy. If people don't have a copy they can get a copy of a copy (which at some point may have been modified). In a large company you need a Single source of centralized truth. You cannot build a company on the concept of "it works on my dev workstation" or the worse suggestion here "all the company's IP source code is on only on my dev workstation".
Pumped storage is simply a gravity battery. There are vertical gravity batteries that can be built anywhere. Basically they are giant cranes that lift heavy blocks high up. This is the storage component and requires electricity. When we need to drain electricity they move the high blocks to a lower elevation using the crane. This generates electricity. This seems like the perfect type of battery to me for urban cities with large towers already.
The sort of battery you describe is utterly non-viable. The amount of energy you can store with solid blocks is extremely small relative to the cost of the structure. Do the math. With 100 tons weight and 100 meters lift (an enormous structure) you get something like 1 (one) dollar worth of electricity, which is bupkis.
Pumped storage works, because it pumps absolutely enormous amounts of water. You can't handle comparable amounts of solid blocks similarly easily.
What happens when every country has nuclear weapons at the ready and dictators in power? Pretty sure global warming (Climate change) won't be as disastrous as a nuclear winter.
