I wonder what may happen in the future. I'm sure neither Purdue Pharmaceuticals nor the Sackler family expected to be seen as criminal in what they were doing (opioid epidemic). But when the outcomes were shown to be a result of thei

You don't even have to type. Text to speech is fine for this and the barrier to getting started is nil. Make a rough outline of what you want to cover and have at it.

And often Microsoft would not put the charge through, at least if you were working to try to solve the problem without them. I don't know what their criteria were, but I don't think I ever paid despite calling a few times.

Why should we have to work so hard to get decent support?

I went to work every day when my kids were small and taught roomsful of college students. I still got poisoned by my little vectors who were a magnet for every virus in the Metro DC area.

Would some of the open-source alternatives fit the bill? Something like SimpleNote?

Yeah it helps if the owner codes- so they know what they are talking about at least in principle when it comes to building stuff.

I was taught (in the 1980s) that the reason didn't win the NP for Relativity was because it was so controversial at the time and it took decades to be fully accepted.

Nothing sounds far-fetched after the last few years.

Makes me nervous, but I agree. I'm not sure what the solution to negating organized disinformation campaigns is, though. Education doesn't seem to work. That strikes me particularly hard, because I've basically dedicated m

Seems like a rounding error in the things we need to fix in criminal justice. Until it happens to me, of course....

My Toyota only plays my iPhone bluetooth if (a) my car is in bluetooth "mode" and not radio and (b) I have my music app open. I've never experienced what you (two) describe. 2020 Toy and iPhone 11.

Totally agree. Very annoying.

Just because he did so doesn't mean he had to. People like me, who don't follow his Twitter news unless it's thrown in our face, actually appreciate that kind of specificity.

The linearity of NII depends on the linearity of F and a. QM has certain postulates that have to be overcome first, such as any state can be written as a linear combination of eigenstates, etc. You can see them here: http://ver

QM is a linear theory (its equations are linear). Chaos arises from non-linear interactions. Until we have a non-linear version of of the Shrodinger/Dirace/Klein-Gordon/Whatever-the-cool-kids-are-using-these-days equations,

they allow very good professors to give real mindfuck exam questions that cause you to walk away from the test with a new perspective on the material I think the problem with this is, although cool, very few professors are capable of doin

Hmmm. I do have a few going. I'll have to check.

Great list. I would invite you to try a stevedore instead of the figure 8. It's really the same knot with an extra wrap, and it cinches into something the size of a double-overhand but won't jam. It's an outstanding stoppe

I quite often use the tautline in combination with the truckers: Use the purchase of the truckers to reduce the load that tautline has to hold, but the adjustability of the tautline lets me cinch things tight. Super handy on sailboats. Gr

I'll give that a whirl. I usually use a tautline hitch for that function.

Yeah I hate that. I still have a problem seeing comments on youtube in firefox, even when I'm logged in. Not sure we're going to be able to fix if google targets their properties to only their browser, outside of a lawsuit or go
