On Politifact, at least, Biden does score the proverbial Pinocchio: https://www.politifact.com/personalities/joe-biden/ I used Politifact because their UI makes it easy to aggregate by person.

Are you sure about that? I signed up in early Feb with a Feb 25th date, and ended up getting my account just a few days later. Edit: Oh, I see from their site that it's dependent on your location. In my location, it was quite quick.

I considered GeForce Now, but went with Shadow.tech instead. Shadow gives you a gaming PC in the cloud, where you can bring your own Steam, Epic, etc. You can even use SteamVR with it. So far, my experience has been very good.

I've been using Obsidian for world building recently, but Roam would be great for this (if not better) as well.

You can download videos for offline viewing with the mobile apps. Khan Academy is not just for video viewing, though. We (I work at Khan) have articles and exercises, keep track of a student's mastery of the material, etc.

They need only do [risk-limiting audits]( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risk-limiting_audit ) (which some states did do!) to verify the results.

Saw this comment a bit late. Ulysses has good conversion capabilities. It's easy to get whatever format I need. FWIW, I've been using Vellum for formatting my indie published novels, and would happily use it again if this new work

I'm close to 60,000 words into my latest novel and I'm writing in Ulysses using Markdown. Novels, in particular, rarely need more than headings and occasional italics or boldface.

Yeah, the latter approach has been what they've done with the iPhone. They don't buy the companies, just have contracts for all of their capacity.

Honestly, this is not my area of expertise (I'm a software person), so I'm going to avoid speculating too much. Standardized testing is indeed one way that we can demonstrate efficacy: https://www.khanacademy.org/a

Khan Academy (where I work) is definitely trying to help people achieve mastery[1][2], and we have people who create studies to test our efficacy and help inform future course development. We care about proving the efficacy of our approache

I'm curious to see what happens, but so far this winter has been _mild_ to say the least. Current forecast calls for 40+ on Wednesday and Thursday which is very-not-January-like. A good snow would totally be fun, though. I just got new

Jira Portfolio is becoming "Jira Advanced Roadmaps" in the Cloud version (as part of the Premium subscription). It's pretty decent, actually.

Jira Cloud has a new editor that is Markdownesque. Type as if you're using Markdown, and it will do the formatting you'd expect.

If you have a frontend that is entirely dependent on data from the backend to display something to the user, then you've already got high coupling between the two. You probably wouldn't use this for a drawing app. But if you'

I wonder if the review would have been allowed if it was focused on the actual product and then mentioned that the company pays for reviews. What if the product is great and people are giving it 5 star reviews because it's great, and n

Two thoughts on this: 1. There are definitely times when I just want to post something I found interesting to Twitter and not, at that time, get sucked into other tweets 2. It also depends on what you think Twitter is . Wikipedia describes

I think the centralization comes from convenience. Building a good, decentralized UX is a lot harder than making a centralized one (evidence: almost every attempt at P2P networks.)

"A Game of Thrones" was published in August 1996[1]. Windows 95 was new an exciting then. OS/2 Warp was new an exciting then. DOS was already old, and I'm assuming GRRM used it just because that was what he was used to.
