If you want to change this about yourself, then you can see a therapist to help you do it. You don’t have to be mentally ill to see a therapist, they can just help you make changes in yourself that you want to make. For something like this you would want to see a CBT therapist

Would you want to change it if you could?

I used to be that way too, but it’s a skill that you learn through practice. Like push yourself to get into things just a teeny tiny bit to start with for now. Then after awhile it’ll be easy to get to that point of toe-dipping, so then you push yourself to go in a bit more next time, and do that every time you’re at some activity, and then eventually you’ll find it easy to jump right into the deep end of every activity. But it does take some effort to push yourself in the earlier stages

I assume you’re quite young, which is great! I’d suggest learning to enthusiastically jump into whatever activity you wind up in. It’s way more fun that way.

At a comic con? Throw on a mask and start talking in a funny voice!

At an opera? Listen closely to the sounds and try to enjoy the artisticness of the performance!

In a big grassy field with nothing to do? Take your shoes off and let the grass tickle your feet!

In my experience it’s easy to judge things as lame and to tell yourself that you’re too cool for that thing, but that winds up not being fun, and you wind up missing out on a lot of stuff that you actually would’ve enjoyed if you let yourself get into it. Learn to be open to trying new types of experiences and you’ll wind up having more fun in life!

In what way is the hardware locked down? Is this something new with the M chips?

I have no info guess about this, but i strongly guess that the arpeggio sign goes to the left of a flat sign

Sure, but OP worded their headline to sound like they were talking about the google payment system itself, which is not what this news is about

No, the standalone google pay APP is just having it’s features transitioned into google wallet. Google payment services is totally unchanged.

Quote:

Anywhere you normally use Google Pay — from checking out online to tapping and paying in stores — remains the same. If you use your Android phone to shop in stores where Google Pay is accepted, you can continue to tap to pay in stores with the Google Wallet app.

There’s a map that shows where every file on your disk is. Doing a regular trash just erases the map pointer for that file, but the 1s and 0s that the file is made of are still sitting there on your disk. Secure erase writes 0s into that area on the disk, so even if you knew where that file used to be located on the disk, now you’ll just find 0s there, instead of finding the 1s and 0s of the old file.

It all depends on the value of what you’re trying to secure, and if an attacker knows the value of what’s in the account, and if the attacker has access to hints about the password you used to narrow down the possibilities. The researchers knew all of that info and they still didn’t want to bother trying to crack the password until they found an additional way to narrow down the possibilities even further.

There’s no such thing as perfect security. A lock only needs to be strong enough to make it not worth breaking into for what’s in there

I just feel bad for him. Can you imagine how much the moment of throwing it away is burned into his mind? And ever since then he’s wasted huge amounts of his life trying to find it because he’s very understandably obsessed. Can you imagine accidentally throwing away 181 million dollars? And living with the knowledge that it could be out there somewhere just sitting there in the garbage?

Sounds like a nightmare.

If i were him i would try to focus on the fact that most likely he would’ve spent or sold the bitcoin before it became worth millions anyway, so his mistake of throwing it away probably didn’t really cost him very much at all

And then there’s the famous case of the guy who was super early in on bitcoin and threw away the computer that had the password to the wallet, which eventually wound up being worth hundreds of millions of dollars that are now irretrievable

If a private citizen from a western country decided to go to Iran against all of the highest level warnings, then i have to sympathy for them.

So the spots are the nuclei and not the electron cloud? Wow! This is waaaaay smaller imaging than i was thinking it was!

Atoms are almost entirely empty space. And electrons themselves don’t really occupy a specific dot in space, they’re more of a blur that fuzzes out in a “large” region of space around the nucleus. So what’s shown here is most likely a visualization of the area that the electrons occupy.

But I’m no physicist and i didn’t read the article, so take this with a big grain of salt

EDIT

Another person here said the round things are actually the nuclei, and they sound like they know what they’re talking about. So while the informational stuff i said is right, it might not actually be a description of the image we’re looking at

I’ve heard (don’t know if it’s true) that in the old days if you survived a hanging then you were allowed to live

You must be using thick paperclips. All the ones I’ve used have all worked fine. Paperclips come in a wide range of thicknesses.

Agree totally. There’s no point in holding on to a special-purpose object that can have its function performed by other very common objects. The smart thing to do is throw it away immediately after the phone’s return window ends.

Paper money is often backed up by nothing. It’s a little scrap of paper that only has value because we’ve all agreed it has value.

I make wool.

You make bricks.

I need your bricks, but you don’t need wool.

How do i buy your bricks?
