That’s what I’m stuck with as well. I wish I could get my due and planned dates into a Google or iCloud calendar but it unfortunately doesn’t work that way. What does not work as well is using Google keep because it’s not as good as TODO.
I think one major plus compared to US is how easy it is to get around. The trains still run (at least weekend nights), and if you’re partying on a day they do not they start up fairly early, so partying til first train is alright.
The Uber rides in a city in America at night can get more expensive than the total drink bill I remember spending out in Berlin.
I have an acquaintance that moved there for the electronic music scene, DJ’d regularly at Berghain, and has an Essential Mix. She probably would not have been that successful had she stayed in SF.
I understand where you are coming from but if something OPs dad wants to do and PiHole blocks it, he will not understand why it is happening and how to solve it. OP at least needs to think of that.
I think this is a case where blocking first might be a better option than anything being unfiltered. better to get a call as to why they can't access fastmoney.ru then to have someone install a plugin in order to pay this western union bill... (real call dealt with at work)
Overall I agree, better safe than sorry. However, at the same time I think that you have to manage risk properly. How likely is it that OPs dad will end up in a situation like that and does it make sense to use other means of ad blocking and educating him about some common phishing strategies or advising him to call him before he pays anything at all. I‘m facing a comparable situation, my dad is quite good with computers in his age range but sometimes I ask myself if I could do more to make it a more enjoyable/safe experience.
Sunk cost fallacy is playing its part as well I think. I can’t bring myself to read anything I don’t like anymore. I’m a slow reader so working through a book takes its time and I want to get the best possible experience out of it. Won’t happen if I don’t like the book. It’s not only valid for books but everything else: series, movies, video games. If it doesn’t work, why push it?
Some of it also comes from prior impressions that a book is "worth reading". Take Wealth of Nations as an example. It inspired, arguably, the whole field of economics - and yet after a hundred or so pages of reading about the worth of the labour of a man in Glasgow as compared to the labour of a man in London, I just wanted someone to end my misery.
Alas, I'm afflicted by the "must finish" disease, so I paused reading and keep telling myself I'll get back to it.
When using a huge pre-trained model from the internet that has been trained on a wide variety of images, it might not include a specific set of data. In this case that’s satellite remote sensing data (imagine images from a satellite). Moonshine seems to provide a pre trained weights and models that have seen remote sensing data during their training and therefore solve domain-specific tasks better than a model with weights that have been trained on a more general set of data.
This is why my phone looks like I’ve been to war with it. I didn’t pay the price to grip five dollar plastic cases and after my phone has been unbearably slow, no one wants to use it anyway.
