Apple basically already has this built into macos - you can create an encrypted disk image and mount it to access the files. I'm not sure if it is possible to open these on ios.
Of course you do, that's the whole point: to focus on what you actually can control- your own actions, which absolutely includes using your own ingenuity and effort to influence things for the better.

There's no belief or magic required, the word 'reasoning' is used here to refer to an observed capability, not a particular underlying process. We also don't understand exactly how humans reason, so any claims that…

Seems like an unidentified virus could be the cause?
That is a subcommittee of the House of representatives- I'm not sure why you didn't mention the House, or mentioned Biden instead? It's a panel of politicians with an obvious political bias, and while some are MDs, none…
It's not pointless at all- it's the core idea behind Stoic philosophy aka "the dichotomy of control," and has proven very effective at improving people's mental health through modern therapy methods like CBT and ACT.…
There is still a lot we can do. Every demagogue and authoritarian regime collapses eventually, often quickly- and they haven't even succeeded in seizing total control yet. As long as we are alive, we can resist.…

Thanks! That makes sense, I have read that series, but didn't remember that was where this was from.

1. I don't think allocating funds to reproduce research would be worth the cost of displacing other new research. The current way of discovering that research is wrong by trying to build on it isn't perfect either, but…
This is such an interesting and weird phenomenon, in the context of the complexity of human made nuclear reactors. I once read a horrifying fiction story about a pre-industrial culture that used nuclear reactions in…
It was because they could only image a dead/fixed 2D cross section on an electron microscope. The 2D cross section of a vast interconnected network of tubes looks like disconnected small “beans.”
Are you kidding me? How could you simply take that at face value?
We're talking here specifically about how to solve the problem of academic fraud- not how to solve the problem of treating trainees more fairly. That's an important problem also, but not what my comments were…
Published historical pay will be 12 month salaries. Most non tenured professors will refuse the optional summer salary and work all summer for free, because they have to pay for it from their own grants- it means hiring…
Those numbers aren’t accurate anymore they’re out of date and now much higher. Also, I voluntarily pay my students and postdocs 2-3x those numbers currently. But ultimately (1) those are seen as training positions that…
