I agree with this. The time spent in app is roughly proportional to the number of ads watched and the revenue. I noticed this shift shortly after when the internet connectivity become ubiquitous, in late 2000s. The older software designed t

Both camps tend to hold a Manichean view - they fight the other deranged party in the name of humanity and common sense. Both camps support the freedom of speech mostly when it is advantageous to their agenda. The media thrives on outrage.

It is a common opinion in this thread that it is unethical to charge for enabling a feature that only needs the local communication between a key fob and a car. And that it is fine if there is a cloud in-between, such as remote start from a

I have got another bright idea: let's rename elementary mathematics to algebra. Anyone who can do addition, passes the course. This is going to be great for the metrics California measures. I am sure that nothing can go wrong here. Ser

It took me some time to get used to this workflow, but now I see the urge to do large edits as a distraction. Have you tried replacing the internal battery? It may have low charge or a shaky contact (that's more rare). Happy for your t

I regularly use Alphasmart Neo for long-form writing, so let me share my perspective. Having a small screen does not feel limiting. It is enough both for writing continuously, the focus of Freewrite, and for editing the last few sentences.
