Interesting.
The paper indicates the forms are specifically limited, in mice there were 15 specific forms they could take.
But still, they evolve between the forms, so yeah, they are equally alive as a digital thermometer. Now they just need to get their act together to beat a tamagotchi.
Nah they're a single molecule. While they do have a mechanism to "reproduce", they cannot react to stimuli of any kind, or evolve. Of the 7 commonly accepted traits of life, viruses have 5-6 depending on where you stand with them not being able to reproduce on their own. (In comparison, while a tapeworm or other parasite might need a host, they bring their reproductive equipment with them).
Prions have 1 of those traits. They can't regulate an internal environment as they cannot have one, they lack any kind of organizational trait, they have no metabolism (the other one viruses lack), they do not grow, they don't adapt to their environment, and they do not respond to stimuli.
A digital thermometer has organization and responds to stimuli, so it's more alive than a prion.

I bet it won't be weird at all, honestly.
Growing pains, obviously, that'd be weird, but once they're in, you'd get used to them as easily as you got used to having them removed.
At least, I had mine for a number of years before they were removed. It seems surprising, but I'm used to not having them, and I think the inverse will be equally weird.
I'm not dumb nowwww though. I want them back.
Dentist didn't even let me keep them. I was gonna cast them in resin and make bone dice out of my mistake. Unfortunately, human teeth aren't big enough to make dice without some extra material.
I had my wisdom teeth removed because I failed to take care of them (dumb teenager), but my dentist told me my jaw fit them just fine, so I never had to lose them.
I want them back.
Well hey I appreciate it, I genuinely thought what i wrote was the whole thing, I'm glad to know that there's more, and the details behind it.
It is though. It's the mixing thing.
You can order a steak rare at a restaurant, no worries. They won't serve you a hamburger that hasn't reached temperature. There's only one real difference; your steak has a miniscule chance the cow it came from was sick, while that hamburger has the bacteria of every cow that went into the meat grinder.
As per the other comments, we have thousands of cows per bottle of milk. 1000x the risk that someone drinking raw milk from their family farm has.
While obviously bullshit now, there's mild forms of vision issues. I have astigmatism, and if it was caused by an issue, I'd be able to honestly say "yes the issue affects my vision, but no, this didn't impact my ability to see the guy do it." A cataract could block peripheral vision while not preventing someone from recognizing someone they looked at directly, etc.
This guy's a liar, but it's still plausible. If a thing should've been done differently besides the fraud, it'd be to require an eye test for the court specifically
So I have been unable to quickly confirm this on the post office directly, but the commonly cited rule online is quoted as 917.243(b).
If we can believe the multiple sources and the rule hasn't been changed, I recalled it a little incorrectly. Using such a letter as a label is legal but if they deem it an improper usage, like directly mailing a brick with the letter taped to it, they reserve the right to just dispose of it. No trouble for the sender though, so it can't hurt.
Well that's not the argument you were making. He's regrettably met the minimum standards for it to go to a proper court, though.
I don't think it's heavy-handed to think an incident can have multiple parties responsible. It's very possibly that. I think a jury should determine if Baldwin legally should've done better, using evidence and witness testimony about what would normally happen.
Personally I think it's much more the armorer's fault. I agree with you. But I wasn't there, I don't know that we have all the information, or even that the information I've learned is completely accurate. A trial is the way to get all the information and certify it as true under penalty of perjury. Then the people who have been given every fact from both sides can make that determination.
In a sense, yes.
Usually they phrase it like "sharing in their most intimate moments" but without consent that's just an innocuous way of saying exactly your first reaction.
In some ways, its related to loneliness, filling a need they haven't filled other ways.

You already can.

I do that all the time. I go "oh there's an update on this case, cool. Wait, these names aren't familiar. Am I remembering wrong?" one google later "no this is a second time, and I also found a third and fourth that didn't make their way to me."
It'll stick anyway because Microsoft is not about to let all that data go. It's great for training better AI and for advertising, and those seem to be the only businesses in big tech lately.
Like that, but filtered through an AI.
Features: questions like "Hey, where's that file I worked on last week", "What was that recipe I found the other day" or "hey can you pull up a copy of this document from 3 days ago so I can compare them" all work. Its nice to be able to just do that, and you can apply all the normal AI editing things to them, too. They're all available.
Downside: a black box AI system the user doesn't have full control over has the right to record literally everything you do on your computer. They promise its local, for now, but not only is Microsoft not trustworthy in that regard, even if they're honest we don't know if or when they'll change that policy. I would not be surprised if the next step was "A small amount of none identifiable information is transmitted to our servers" snuck in, and they used that permission to have Microsoft Recall answer queries for advertisers directly, technically without ever identifying you. Advertisers could directly ask your own computer for all the info they'll ever need.
And, yes, Mac still has Time Machine. Linux has its own version, too. Both are very handy and I've used them each personally. In my personal opinion, a basic search with time machine does enough of Microsoft recall's job that I'm not going near it, but honestly at least you're getting functionality out of them selling your data, so it could be worse.
My state banned billboards for the same reasons.
It's a really good reminder when I'm ever in another state that things like that just... Aren't needed.
The advertising thing is a slippery slope, and it's OK for people to draw the line for how far down the slope they're willing to go higher up than you would. It's also OK that your line comfortably holds a 2-second ad.
No position here is unreasonable, and everyone should keep that in mind.
In mint I can right click in a folder and reopen the folder with elevated privileges. That's my primary, I assumed it was standard but if it's not common I guess it's a cinnamon thing. If so, maybe cinnamon is the desktop of choice for avoiding the terminal.
I didn't do my full diligence to the samba GUI thing, apparently. That's a good catch.
To salvage my argument, yumex has a GUI and extends yum, so while the instructions expect the terminal, I think it'll be optional.
I still recommend it to nobody, but someone who set out to avoid the terminal doesn't have to fail.
yumex, pip-gui, and aptitude give yum, pip, and apt GUI's, respectively, so most anything that expected the terminal should be doable without it. All it costs is a bunch of effort troubleshooting GUI things or finding out one doesn't display error messages and logs them weirdly or whatever.
