And no I’m not going to just unplug my second monitor every time I walk away from my computer in case I need to connect with Remote Desktop. The only display option I have is to resize desktop to fit.īecause of this, I have to rate it 1 star because it is simply UNUSABLE for me in its current state. Apparently that option isn’t there anymore. I’ve googled this problem and everyone says the solution is to change which monitor to display. That’s not useful because when I open windows they default to the primary window, and guess what, I can’t see them. However, the app isn’t at all useful to me because of one thing: there is no option to change display.įor some reason when I connect to my desktop it defaults to showing the second monitor only. I want to start by saying that I love the potential an app like this brings, being able to access my computer from anywhere, even if it is just to check a date or a password etc. I hope you would take this suggestion into consideration because it would be so helpful to most of not all users of the Chrome Remote Desktop app. That would really bring it all together, and instead of having it integrated make it a custom Keyboard that you have to enable in settings and all that but have its option settings in the app. It bugs me quite a bit that they haven't thought to do it yet because it is nessessary! How is anyone supposed to use Esc or any of the other essential keys?! A 4 layer keyboard would be great, first layer has the letters, backspace, Shift/CapsLock, space bar, return/enter and the main punctuation marks ( like most regular keyboards) And again like most keyboards there would be a second and third layer of numbers and other symbols and then ANOTHER layer that has all the Esc, Ctrl, Shift, Windows, Tab, Print Screen, F1-F12 buttons among others. This tax season, see why GoToMyPC was rated the 1 Remote Desktop Tool of 2022. I have been using this app for a while now and it has been incredibly useful in so many situations but there is one thing that bugs me so much The app needs is own custom Keyboard, a semi transparent, customizable keyboard. Enjoy the freedom to work remotely with reliable remote access and secure. I LOVE THE APP BUT THERE IS SOME THINGS THAT NEED TO BE ADDED. ![]()

The house finch is one of the most common attractions at bird feeders.The color of the house finch will change based on what type of vegetation it consumes.Despite being almost exclusively herbivorous, the house finch is a bird that may accidentally eat insects while foraging for other food.You can often hear their bright and cheerful voices in the spring and summer even without seeing them. Though birds are easily spotted in the Galapagos, we have some useful tips if you want to increase your chances of spotting this particular animal.The house finch is one of the most common bird species in all of North America.įeaturing colorful plumage and a stout bill well-adapted for seed-eating, the house finch is a member of the true finch family (scientific name Fringillidae). This involves rolling them around into rocks until they break open and then greedily extract the golden juices from within. ![]() Incapable of cracking through the tough shell with their beaks, they’ve actually come up with a clever way to break the eggs using their environment. Vampire Finches are also slightly more terrifying due to the fact that they go after baby boobies and eggs too. Perhaps they still think that the vampire finches are removing parasites or, even more disturbing – have completely resigned themselves to the fact that nothing will make them (and their large numbers) stop.Ĭheck out the following video to see for yourself (WARNING: Viewer discretion is advised): What’s interesting to note is that the boobies often seem pretty laissez-fare with the whole ordeal. The Vampire Finch feeds chiefly on the Nazca and blue-footed booby, relentlessly pecking at their backs and under their wings until a steady stream of nutritious blood comes drizzling out. Speaking of which… Bound for Booby Blood and Eggs Maybe they accidentally struck “red gold” one day when they picked a little too hard into the back of a booby. It’s not completely implausible to consider that the Vampire Finches actually provided a service to the birds it now preys on for blood. Scientists believe that this acquired, flesh-puncturing beak may be an extension of a former cleaning behavior that involved the removal of ticks from other birds. With the largest and most pointed beak of all the members of Geospiza difficilis, the Vampire Finch acquired this sharp tool for reasons that mainly have to do with the drawing of blood. The common scarcity of freshwater and seeds on Wolf is what has led them to develop this bizarre, blood-drinking behavior. But when tough times are upon them (and not only when darkness falls) does the Vampire Finch truly live up to its name in an apt and horrifying way. With a diet that consists primarily of seeds and insects, the Vampire Finch seems misnamed at first. But necessity has always been the mother of invention, especially when it comes to evolution. Starvation seems imminent on a desolate and eerie island such as this one. Seeds that do manage to pop up throughout its terrain are promptly eaten by ravenous seabirds. Most of the year sees the island, which is home to thousands of seabirds, pounded by waves and practically zero rainfall. The island is a stone fortress of steep, grey cliffs and an iconic stone arch formation that almost makes it look like Dracula’s discarded castle. Aside from scientists that are allowed to research wildlife on the island, the only other human presence tends to be scuba divers that only come to bask in its waters. As if to add to the mystery of the island and the Vampire Finch that lives here, the Galapagos National Park forbids any visitor landings here. Wolf Island sits approximately 200 km (120 miles) northwest of the main cluster of islands in the Galapagos. As the name implies, it’s a parasitic bird that evolved to acquire its food in a really peculiar way. Enter the Vampire Finch, a character in the Galapagos’ never-ending book of evolution that’s both equal parts incredible and disturbing. Isolated and enigmatic, the enchanted isles seem like the perfect bubble of mischief for unusual things to evolve, stir, and flutter about. ![]() ![]() ![]()
![]() ![]() Some players, such as Target, 3 Emma Cosgrove, “Target cuts digital fulfillment cost per order 30% as same-day demand skyrockets,” Supply Chain Dive, August 19, 2020. To serve omnichannel customers better, winning retailers are reimagining channels and bridging the gap across supply chains, stores, web presence, and partners. ![]() We believe retailers will have to bend, reinvent, and innovate to meet customers where they are-and where they’re going. The margins for error in retailing are shrinking toward zero in five areas: shopping channels, customer assistance, delivery times, equity and sustainability, and talent (exhibit). ![]() To win their loyalty, retailers will need to keep raising their games. One thing is clear: shoppers aren’t just browsing-they’re taking sides. In case that to-do list doesn’t seem long enough, consider that one in three shoppers now expects same-day delivery-a share that will accelerate as fast-moving retail giants and nimble start-ups compete in the realm of customer experience. And with high employee turnover and the need to keep up with rapid changes in the marketplace, retailers must train new hires and longtime employees quickly, effectively, and at scale. Similarly, in-store staff need to recognize when customers need help-and when they don’t. As the shopper continues to change-and expects retailers to do the same-customer experience, store operations, and talent become more inextricably linked on the journey to keep pace with customer preferences.Ī great customer experience, in store and online, now requires end-to-end product availability and visibility, which in turn requires first-rate operations: talent in IT, logistics, procurement, fulfillment, and other functions. The implications for retailers are profound. ![]() 2 McKinsey Inclusive Consumer Survey, October 2021. Among our survey respondents who agreed that companies should pledge to support Black-owned brands, more than 40 percent intentionally buy from Black-owned brands and are bigger spenders overall, doling out an average of 30 percent more on holiday shopping. As one 20-something shopper told us, “I don’t spend money in places I don’t believe in.” According to our survey of 999 American consumers in 2021, 45 percent of all consumers and more than half of Gen Z, millennial, and Black consumers believe companies should support Black-owned businesses. However, consumers today are likely to be looking for more than convenience and cross-channel connectivity. “Instead, they’ll need to rely on full PIPE (private investment in public equity) coverage to account for investor withdrawals from SPACs.” But IPOs, however, are expected to continue as tech companies will carry on raising significant sums at high valuations, said Hoorvitch-Lavi, “but with the decline in valuations, we expect to see less SPACs overall.Hear two of the authors discuss the “five zeros” in greater detail on this related McKinsey on Consumer and Retail podcast episode. And due to the Ukraine-Russia war, several SPAC mergers have been withdrawn in the past month, so it is unlikely that companies will choose this route again. “SPACs haven’t performed well in the long term, and companies will probably be more hesitant to raise money through this method,” Gozes said. If there were 25 IPOs in 2021, then we’ll see far less this year,” she said, noting that consolidation is most likely, with companies combining their assets, liabilities, and other financial items into a single entity. “This issue is global,” explained Alroy, “and not just exclusive to Israel. Experts say that the big IPOs and SPACs that were so popular in 2021 will decline in popularity over the coming year. ![]() ![]() To resize JPEG images use our Image Resizer tool.

If it’s a prime-time game or a game with a popular team, it’s more likely to be +EV (positive expected value) to fade the public. Circumstances vary so you need to stay on top of the news, weather, and injury reports and analyze each situation with its public betting trends and line movement. One game and line may be a great opportunity to fade the public, another may not. It’s best to approach each game on a case-by-case basis. While it might be a popular strategy, and you’ll certainly find pundits tout on sports shows and throughout social media, the reality is that winning in sports betting is a bit more complicated. This is especially true in the NFL, where there are only 17 regular-season weeks, and early in the football season. The other idea is that by fading the public, we may be fading recency bias from recreational bettors who overreact to one game or an outlier outcome. There are also popular teams and players to bet on such as Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, and Tom Brady and the Buccaneers. Generally speaking, when it comes to NFL betting, the public loves favorites and overs. This is a contrarian betting angle and implies there’s value to be had by fading the public because oddsmakers react to lopsided betting percentages by adjusting the lines. ![]() One of the more popular betting strategies is to simply fade the public. ![]() From there, you can decide if you think there’s value in fading public or not, given the updated odds. This gives you an idea of what the “public” is betting, why a line has moved, and what direction the line may go next. Here we see that 61% of betting tickets are on the Raiders, while the percentage of money (also called the handle) is more evenly split at 52% for the Raiders and 48% for the Chiefs.īasically, you get to see what kind of action and liability bookmakers are taking behind the counter. ![]() ![]() ![]() These simulations become more and more realistic, and their energetic efficiency grows due to progress in computer hardware and software. The rapid development of technology has allowed computer simulations to become routinely used in an increasing number of fields of science. Here, parallels between the black hole-generated baby universes where random variations in the fundamental physical constants are introduced, and the Darwinian method of incremental accumulation of variations through mutation and natural selection will be explored. The final section of the study will try to look at the mechanism of natural selection that is often hypothesized to be operating in both microcosm and macrocosm. The various fundamental constants that underlie our most trusted theories appear fine-tuned in the sense that if even a very tiny variation is traduced in them, life as we know it, most probably will never emerge in such a qualitatively different universe. ![]() This part of the study will also try to see if the prerequisite conditions for the existence of complex life in our universe are a result of the special values of the parameters themselves or there is something else at play. The second part of the study shall look at the similarities between the fine-tuned nature of the biological world and the fundamental laws that govern the cosmos to see whether there is really a coincidence between life's requirements and the universe's choices of parameter values. The opening section deals with the strange structural and morphological similarities between the peculiar architecture of the neuronal network and the gigantic cosmic web with its several interconnecting filaments of clustered galaxies. The present article seeks to study three striking similarities between the microcosmic world of the living systems and the grand, cosmic landscape.

The reader is invited to consult Annex 1 for an overview of the logical structure of this paper. This last direction is argued with a careful speculative philosophical approach, emphasizing the imperative to find a solution to the heat death problem in cosmology. Or, if this simulation could be realized, this would lead to an artificial cosmogenesis. Some authors argued that we could be in a simulation run by an intelligent entity. Assuming that intelligent life could indeed simulate an entire universe, this leads to two tentative hypotheses. The status of an entire universe simulation is discussed distinguishing between real-world and artificial-world modelling. ![]() The simulation would allow to probe what would happen if we would "replay the tape of the universe". The simulation should encompass not only biological evolution, but also physical evolution (a level below) and cultural evolution (a level above). This requires to tackle the challenge of simulating open-ended evolution at all levels in a single simulation. We argue that it will result in a simulation of an entire universe. This philosophical paper tackles the question of the future of simulations in science from a cosmic viewpoint. ![]() ![]() ![]() Up to now, we has written exclusively bespoke software on a contract basis.

And a paradigm shift is when a big chunk of that community swaps their old conceptions for new ones. It is a core way of thinking about some aspect of our world, or experience. They are held in common by a significantly large community. So, a paradigm is a shared set of understandings, conceptions, interpretations, and beliefs. When a critical mass of opinion has changed, we have a paradigm shift. Where the evidence supports this and, crucially, where no counter-evidence emerges, scientists will start to adopt this new framework. More often, though, revolutions come about because someone develops a whole new way of thinking about our world, as Einstein and Darwin did. Or of creating new models that we can test with novel experiments.īut, sometimes, we discover a wholly new phenomenon, which demands a substantial re-think. In the scientific method, Kuhn reminded us, science normally proceeds by refining theories and models as the result of new experimental evidence. It’s not just the latest new product, as marketing professionals would too-often have us believe. But I cannot emphasise the word ‘fundamental’ enough. What is a Paradigm Shift?Ī paradigm shift is a fundamental change in our understanding, approach, or underlying assumptions. It became frequently-used corporate-speak jargon and a staple of the ever-popular game of buzzword bingo, alongside blue-sky thinking and synergy. But, somehow, in the late 1980s and early 1990s, his terminology caught on. When I first encountered it, as a science undergraduate in the 1990s, it was no longer much talked about. Because, basically, it was an academic text on the philosophy of science. His book, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions ( US| UK) became a surprising best-seller. He envisioned radical changes in our conception of the physical world. In 1962, philosopher Thomas Kuhn set out his theory for how new scientific theories supplant those that come before. So, what then is a paradigm shift, and how do they come about? In the 1980s we might have called them quantum leaps, with even less justification. Or is it just because we have a label for these changes? We call them paradigm shifts. Is this a real effect or what getting older feels like? How many times in your life have you noticed that, somehow, there has been a substantial change in the way you – and others around you – think about something important? It seems to happen more and more often. Such is the fate of Thomas Kuhn’s idea of the Paradigm Shift. It becomes over-used and, despite its validity, it becomes devalued. People latch onto it without fully understanding it. Sometimes a Big Idea gets inflated beyond its carrying capacity. ![]() |
