That's part of immersion or comprehensible input, yeah. Watching lots of hours of something in a language works so long as you know at least enough vocab and grammar to mostly understand it. To get there stuff like spaced repetition se

tbh I would take the headline and first hundred words in a news aggregator. that seems fine?

A company taking themselves private could be pretty good, but leveraged PE stuff will demand profit to pay down the loan and pretty much always have the same motivation for growth as investors.

They still have some exclusives or older titles locked up - I think American McGee's stuff? I wonder if the new owners would care to port it or sell it again.

There's a clear difference in scale between "people who also go to a private airsoft meetup with me will see me" and "the entire global population can see me", right?

Cloudflare sends certain users they think are bots into infinite captcha loops - the wrong user agent or tor endpoint can do it

Getting approval to build a new hospital seems to require regulatory stuff and how do you get the staff if there's a cap on how many doctors can be trained a year?

Not moving troops and police away from the border might have prevented Oct 7th. I think they were more focused on the West Bank at the time.

Harris made several grandstanding stunts at the border and talked about her record on crime and immigration enforcement, and backed off on trans questions where she could (saying she would leave it to the states) This basically had no impac

Can you fit more people in horizontal than if they stood up and you had little straps to hang onto like a subway?

Do you think most people actually hear his speeches directly or know these things? I'm sure when it's chopped up in the right sound bites it's fine.

Out of interest, which airline? I've never found a particularly good one in the us.

by nemomarx 1y ago
First principle is that customers will choose whoever has the cheapest flights in general, and airlines that try to market on having an inclusive price without surprise fees suffer anyway because the real cost is closer to fees. The second

Why do they have to take your word for it? if you present a few forms of id (drivers license, etc) can't those be checked against a central DB? is someone forging physical ID cards and also getting them real numbers somehow?

by nemomarx 1y ago
Why is the UK politics scene so focused on digital ID? Blair first proposed it and I feel like I've heard about it continually since with no progress. Different justifications every time too

How enforceable is a condition like that?

I think it's hard to put into practice, but the veil of ignorance is an interesting philosophy for this

It's the occasionally given justification for embargos on Cuba, Sanctions on North Korea, etc. Whether you believe it's the real reason is a different question.

How does facial recognition reduce the surveillance state there?

if anything is stored, "we know you were at this night club at this time" is pretty sensitive information? depending on the kind of club.

It opens up room for bundling maybe? People want to pay one subscription for everything whenever possible, like Netflix originally vs now. If you could pay 10 a month for a major newspaper + YouTube + some other tech sites that could be pre

by nemomarx 1y ago
I think you could argue that a subscription model is basically trying to make you not think about that. Look at gyms and how they want you to forget to come in a little bit and not evaluate it month by month Asking up front has the issue th

I'm wondering if they have the same handedness for writing and for other tasks or not, if practice writing rtl makes them on average more ambidextrous on average etc. Does it have any cultural impacts like how we had the "sinister

Yeah I'm not sure why taking the same projection and mirroring it does anything. Surely you'd want a different style of map entirely for this kind of project? Africa could be much larger in it for instance

What did maps from China look like around then? I assume they'd center their continent somehow

I mean several languages are right to left? I'd be interested to see if handedness in those countries is different.
