My point was that instead of throwing billions at making new hardware, why not put it into research towards a cure?
Frankly, we all know why. Money.
A company with the resources that Apple has could make an actual fucking impact on peoples lives, instead of setting themselves up to pad their pockets on peoples misfortunes.
If what they say is true, this monitor would be in the form of a watch (or something similar) and be able to monitor blood sugar levels automatically. The user would then be alerted in the event they need to take action.
You just described a current generation CGM. Most of them even have bluetooth that can connect to a smart phone or smart watch.
As I stated, this problem has already been solved!
NoScript does nothing for ads in Android Apps (especially YouTube) or my TV.
I actually like JavaScript (most of the time). If you want a shitty, barebones, reduced functionality browsing experience, why don't you just use Lynx? You'll save even more bandwidth, and it makes it literally impossible to see any image-based ads.
Exactly the same way the hosts file does it: Block (null route to 0.0.0.0) the DNS queries. No certificate or packet inspection necessary.
And, as an added bonus, if someone wanted to utilize an Authorative DNS Server other than the one provided by the Router/Gateway, they would be able without any trouble.
I block a lot of the low hanging stuff at the router level in my house using this technique, and then use uBlock Origin in Firefox/Chrome to block the higher level stuff.
The hosts file does not cosmetically clean up pages in addition to blocking ads, where uBlock/Adblock do.
We definitely need a simple, easy to use method to provide micro transactions.
The problem is really banking regulations get in the way, as every country is different, and governments want to consider any form of online wallet provider as a bank.
How I would do it, if regulations wouldn't squash it right away: - allow users to add "FunWebMoneyâ" to a deposit account, converted $1 USD to $1 FWMâ. - allow merchants to register and receive $FWMâ from users - create a really clean, easy to integrate API/Webservice for merchants to use on their sites and apps - charge flat rate or volume based fee to merchants to access API/Network
This is basically what Paypal was trying to do in the beginning. But regulation messed that up.
Some web services do something like this, but only for their own services (my voip provider comes to mind).
It would be nice to have a centralized/standardized way to do this world wide, though.
I have absolutely nothing against curling. My town hosted the Scotties Tournament of Hearts in 2015, and it was a great time.
The parent post was talking about "Saskatchewan Disneyland" which I take as rides and fun things for children to do. Curling is not very exciting for Children.
I'm sure this is supposed to be a joke, but I live in Saskatchewan.
All we have around here is farm land. I guess riding a tractor or combine/harvester could be fun or exciting, but well, not really. While they are big, they don't go very fast or do any tricks.
They are useful for confirming actions, especially delete functions of things. It's not often I use them on a public facing site, though. When it comes to the Administration of the site, I use them frequently.
With that said, I've moved most of my projects to an inline modal (constructed inside of the page using HTML/CSS/JS). Way more flexibility, and less user annoyance.
I have no desire to support Android/iOS. Network shares can be exported as Samba share if necessary for Windows, though I don't use Windows within my network either.
HTTPS was a badly realized afterthought and it bites people all the time. I wonder if this problem can be solved at all.
The intention of HTTPS was only to provide secure communication between the client and server.
Saying it was horribly designed afterthought because it doesn't verify the owner of the server is simply false. That was never the point. That may have been something the CAs propped up, and then browsers started blocking use of self-signed certs. So now we're back at square one, as LetsEncrypt now offers a no cost solution to replace self-signed certs.
This is what LetsEncrypt believes, as well. The entire point of LetsEncrypt is to allow everyone to securely communicate with their own sites, free from spying of ${GOVERNMENT_ENTITY} or malicious hackers.
We simply need some other way to identify if a website is who it says it is. HTTPS was never meant for that, despite what the CAs have led you to believe.
We just got a new air popper because the top part melted on the old one to the point it no longer properly diverted the corn to the bowl. It was a cheap $15 unit we got over 10 years ago.
The benefit of air popped is you have the ability to easily control how much (or little) oil/butter/salt/topping is on your popcorn. Still get some unpopped kernels, though.

Worked for me in Firefox on Linux.
Followed steps exactly. Alternatively you can use F12 instead of Ctrl+Shift+i

No kidding.
We already have CGMs that are getting less and less invasive already.
My son is 7, diagnosed T1D about a year and a half ago.
How about we work towards a cure instead of blowing money on problems that have already been solved?
Everyone has different needs and wants.

I use XFCE on my two laptops, and main workstation.
I can't stand thr bulkiness of KDE or Gnome.
I've experimented with other WMs but none of them provide the full desktop environment, and can be difficult to configure.
I use IceWM on my HTPC.

Have you seen it? I was quite surprised to find that it wasn't absolute garbage. There was an actual story, with suspense and sans cheesy tights.
It has a 7/10 on IMDB, and a 78% Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Took my family to see the new Power Rangers movie yesterday at my local Cineplex Movie Theater. Haven't been there in almost a year.
There was a grand total of 6 people in there, including my family of 4.

Interesting. I was not aware of MediaGoblin.
I have no desire to support Android/iOS. Network shares can be exported as Samba share if necessary for Windows, though I don't use Windows within my network either.
Personally I "stream" my media over NFS within my network.
MPV on a small Linux box I have connected to my TV. Works well for my needs.
What are you using that utilizes the Fullscreen API? Sincere curiosity here.
Why are you encrypting traffic within your own private network?
And that's not what HTTPS is for. As mentioned that's what the CA's provided, but it certainly was not a part of HTTPS.
As another commenter pointed out, DNSSEC and DANE will provide this functionality, instead of the CAs, in the future.

Fiverr is more of an escrow service than a gig-firm.
I've used it to hire Graphic Designers when I could not find anyone local.
It fills a narrow niche, but they've somehow blown it out if proportion.
I think it's that Netflix no longer forces the FF UserAgent to the sliverlight version.
Nothing to see here, move along.
Indeed, it's a matter of preference.
I like it Air Popped because I don't like a lot of toppings. Just a light drizzle of olive oil and a light dusting of sea salt.
I usually only have a small amount at a time. I'm not a fan of forever digging bits of kernel shells out of my teeth.
I prefer air popped, personally.

Provided you don't use the precompiled binary, anyway.
Just throwing this out there: Gentoo or Archlinux with OpenRC.
