I find that many of the magazines on Apple News+ have innovative navigation techniques that allow me to scan quickly. The throughput is high enough not to be laggy.

It also helps them plan out their daily boarding and verification activities with a minimum of effort. Governments seem to have an increasing need to know where everyone is, all the time, and what they are doing. There is no problem contro

I liked the old floppies. They were great for backing up personal data. They were easy to write on and store in special trays. I still haven’t discovered a convenient way to handle flash drives. They are to small to write on, and so I have

We are discussing what is coming, not what is now: a requirement to track.

You can trust a floppy and its hardware. You can’t trust a flash drive - Bunny proved that.

So this is like requiring hunters to wear GPS tags so the game wardens can locate and interview them more efficiently. Half the country will think this is a good idea.

I had a big argument at a DMV about that. The supervisor would not accept my signature, because he couldn't read it. I finally signed using a Palmer script and he said, "Why didn't you use that the first time?" I poin

Except that it's a lot faster, especially if you let it degrade to a scrawl that only you can read.

You use both. Commonly referred to as printing and cursive. First, you learn to print, then you lean cursive. Lately, people have been calling printing "manuscript", which is either silly or an attempt to dignify it. Nowadays, som

Handwriting small notes in a meeting is less obtrusive than hauling out a laptop or thumbing a phone. I carry a 3.5 by 5.5 inch Cahier and a Spacepen at all times. If I need to write more extensively, I use one of my fountain pens. It&#x27

Right. D'Nealian is clearly an intermediate form, which is intended to be abandoned once proper cursive is learned. It's also rather ugly and it looks immature when used as actual handwriting.
437.
by wrycoder 4y ago
D'Nealian looks like disconnected Palmer. But, the extra pen lifts slow you down. I handwrite with a modified semi-linked italic cursive. It's about twice as fast as my printing, and I can go faster, if I let it turn into a scra

Because the boosters are EUA. Most of us, including me, got the two primaries a couple of years ago. BTW, this conversation thread is flagged and dead, so no one sees it. And, I'm not going to vouch for the root, because it really is o

OK, they are approved for the first two primary jabs. Comirnaty, and the bivalent version, are not yet approved for any booster jabs. Those are still under EUA. And booster jabs are about all that has been happening for years. Same for M

You can't be sure. But nor can you collect it and transport it for proper incineration. What's not burned will evaporate eventually, with deleterious effects.

LOL, MIT open source license. That’s what happens - the developer sells out. It’s not GPL, so it’s open to embrace, extend, extinguish. We shall see.

Nope. Authorized for emergency use only. Using the word "approved" is an error: Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine is a monovalent COVID-19 vaccine that is authorized for emergency use to prevent COVID-19 as: The first two d

Lemoine from Google stated that there were a number of LLM entities that were holding conversations among themselves. So, not just running in parallel.

The vaccines have not been approved to this day. They are being used (and mandated) under an emergency authorization, because the testing has not been completed. The UMMS article is full of half truths. It's a sales document, not a s

Though everyone hoped it would, SARS-2 vaccination has been shown to confer only modest protection against infection and contagion.[0] And, lockdowns were ineffective due to the high contagious nature of this virus and the fact that they we

I would think that a Python code using the csv and email modules would be as fast or faster, and be more robust against typos.
