Well no, it isn't. But there's really nothing stopping the OTP from being the 2nd factor, and we're still not tied to a single device.

I don't know, but (at least some of) the apps that need multiple logins for precisely the scenario you suggest, seem to have solved this. Here in India we have some grocery apps that deliver (mainly perishables) every morning, such as

4G/LTE cellular baseband and RF is very hard to get right. Optimizing its power consumption for different scenarios is very very very hard to get right. The 4G graveyard is littered with companies that have tried and failed. TI. Agere.

> We should criticize nations that did this before AND India. Sure. Just that the "we" cannot be one of the nations that did this before, as is the case here. That's hypocrisy and entitlement.

I cannot recommend this enough: The Awk Programming Language - Aho, Kernighan, Weinberger https://ia802309.us.archive.org/25/items/pdfy-MgN0H1joIoDVoI... The book is amazingly well written, and is invaluable.

I've been using a mid-2010 Mac book Pro as my main laptop. Since 2010, the changes I've made are to bump up the RAM from 4GB to 8GB (its max), and replace the power brick. The battery now only lasts for about half an hour, so that

Sure. But the tool posted here doesn't do that. It merely extracts text, and the "analysis" is a couple of regexes that are tailor-made for that particular pdf. Awk can do that much and a lot more. If you want to extract tabl

So the tool is being used to extract text and then a regex is used to extract the relevant fields/values. Seems that pdftotext[1][2] with awk can do the job on your local machine without uploading your docs. 1. brew install pkg-config

Ok, in Julia 1.0+ you just have to use the dot operator: 1:3 |> x->x.+1 |> x->join(x,",") |> length Note the dot in x.+1, that tells + to operate on each element of the array (x), and not the array itself.
