It's theoretically more reversible, but dependent on identifying epigenetic factors that can practically be counteracted or at least lessened (and don't have significantly adverse side effects.) In reality, it will probably just m

I normally only get tweets leaning towards one side of the political spectrum. I read an article and liked a tweet, and suddenly found myself in a mirror-image alternative universe. The echo chamber is real. For all its potential, Twitter i

Did you read the actual deposition? The linked article is not clear on the exact details, I don't think it's possible to come to any conclusions from the article alone. The iPhone example is an interesting one. I would say that wa

The best of all time IMO were the old G4 silver Powerbook keyboards. The response felt great (both tactile and cushioned?), and the scalloped keys felt great to the fingers. That keyboard was probably too thick for the modern era though.

Batteries on Apple laptops have always been pretty easy to replace (if not RAM and storage), just not swappable on the go. No glue, just screws- not sure if that's changed recently though.

For me the worst part was not my lap but my left palm (2013 MBA.) We had carpal tunnel, someday there's going to be a new syndrome that comes from constant heat being applies to your palms while using a laptop computer.

The last few years of Apple notebook revisions have been pretty incremental, until the M1 arrived. I was happy using 3-4 year old MBA's because the user experience was not that different, but the M1 models were a night and day differen

I also use both, Simplemind is a fantastic mind mapping app. For smaller scale mindmapping though, I am finding Canvas very usable already for such an early release. The ability to easily link or embed to markdown files (or create new ones)

Your comment really resonates with me (as a general point, not specifically about OP article which is about note-taking as a whole.) For example, when a Youtube creator makes videos about new PKM apps/systems, they are getting secondar

The fundamental issue is, is carbon dioxide an air pollutant? This is not so much about interpretation of the Clean Air Act IMO, as it is about peoples' opposing views on carbon dioxide as a significant contributor to climate change. T

This reminds me of the Pixel Qi screens that promised cheaper notebooks with really long battery life (and was used in the OLPC.) Today's backlit e-ink screens do seem more promising, although the versatility of a computer using a slow

The Dana is great, but the regular Alphasmarts are particularly rock-solid and 2 AA batteries will last you over a year. The Dana touchscreen isn't as contrasty, the backlight eats battery, and if you use up all your batteries you will

I think the logic was that in a 'zero COVID' country, the health risk associated with vaccination (for the elderly and vulnerable) was higher than the risks of COVID itself. I'd hope they are trying to push for increasing vac

I don't disagree with your logic (people would try to hide sickness), but they do have mandatory testing.

That's exactly the thing- it is almost always going to be a judgement call, so the worst thing in the USA was for it to become politicized. In China, a monolithic 'zero COVID' policy was easily arguably better than the USA&#x

Among prominent world leaders, both Putin and Xi Jinping were able to handily remove term limits for presidents (Trump also floated the idea plenty of times on Twitter, of course you have to win 2 terms first before you seek a 3rd.) I am no

It's all been very crazy to me too, the only plausible factor IMO is the low vaccination of the elderly in China. Overall vaccination rate is very high, but among elderly it is lower. I guess the rationale at the time was that in a COV

Are you suggesting it would play out just like it is now by the US government, with indiscriminate bombings of Mexican cities and targeting of civilians? I guess anything is possible in geopolitics. And if the USA started invading Mexico an
