"How do you overcome it?" - don't. Lots of other good suggestions on here, but I have some commentary on this problem as well. I experience the same issue when trying to read with greater concentration. I start out and my bra

"“Once a field commits to a particular hypothesis, the research resources — funding, experimental models, and training — all get in line,” she wrote in a 2018 analysis. That brings backers of the dominant idea accolades, awards, lucrat

I would love to see the impact of acronyms on information density. It would also be interesting to see how many bits per second the average human maximum is.

I've written tens of thousands of lines of code, solved a plethora of complex problems, worked on a number of projects from requirements to production in an assortment of different languages and technologies and I can count on one hand

There are many reasons to not use auto iso, in spite of the fact that modern sensors produce much less digital noise than they used to. If you're enlarging your images, or cropping significantly, you'll want images that are as cle

Yeah, you're super wrong about this. Manual mode helps you control the consistency of photos during a session. I've met very few wedding photographers (who incidentally work almost exclusively out of a studio) who are willing to r

I think this is a neat idea. I would love it if you made this into one of those scary image popping up and loud screaming audio pranks. Three and a half minutes in everyone would be pretty sold on just relaxing. The perfect targets.

Patience isn't about waiting for something to take a little bit of extra time. It's about working on something and being willing to wait for _years_ if necessary to see it happen. To know that what your waiting for is out there on

There seems to be a high correlation between outages and security breaches. My guess is that at some point in the future there the consequences of these shutdowns will come to light in the media. That, or this is all related to high profile

Oh thank God, I'll have another company to not buy products from! Seriously though, I think his vision may have overstayed it's welcome at apple.

Sure this is a neat toy, but where are they going to get data on _everyone's_ heart signatures to make this practical. That's not going to be eas... Looks at Apple watch.. looks at fitbit.. looks at Samsung phone with heartbeat mo

Not to mention studies showing that hand dryers, with the Dyson models leading the pack, do an excellent job of distributing bacteria over a large area.

That's fair, my point is that in many cases (a rapidly growing number of cases), the entire site is JS. If you need to service, then you have to accept the tracking.

by JimBrimble35 7y ago
Aside from the obvious usability benefits, this kind of thing makes it abundantly clear why much of the web has gone to javascript dependent SPAs. If you need JS to run the site, then you also have to leave it on to be tracked/fingerpr

The downvotes are disappointing. If you don't have think it would be fun, just don't upvote maybe?

I've wanted something like the Remarkable for years, but the cost is still way too high. The rocketbook has been a decent interim solution, but there is always the issue that I can't re-load and modify old notes.

rocketbook is an amazing tool.

It would be amazing if they gave this an online battle royale mode.

The guy answered a question about market share like a 4 year old answers "how much do you like tacos?". The CEO had to take a risk on this guy, had to put him in a position to become valuable. Yes, taking someone with a grade 4 ed

Sorry, but we have _definitely_ reached that point. Granted I'm extremely cynical, but stories like this are outliers and not the norm. And not simply because of the scale of the success. Read my other comment on why I consider the CEO

How unethical would it be to take is idea and simply compensate him for it in some small way. A promotion, a bonus, some small percent of the proceeds. My point here, and it was obviously lost on some, is that the CEO saw the possibilities

The real hero of this story is the CEO who decided to take this guy _and_ his idea. He could have easily taken the idea and ran with it on his own, with Montañez spending the rest of his life mopping floors. I wonder how likely this scenari

I love how clean and professional looking this is, and how difficult it is to tell that it's being monetized. Content like this is why the internet exists! I can definitely see the value in having this app on my phone too.

I think that if you look at the history of the trend, and the politics behind it. The decreases in top marginal tax rate, decreases in corporate tax rates. It starts to really _feel_ malicious. Although you're probably right, I don&#x2

I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of what pay inequality looks like for top earners. This isn't about using pay to buy luxury items like iPhones vs putting that money to charity. This is about people stuffing bank account

It isn't incompetence, it's complacent acceptance of a toxic norm for personal gain.

by JimBrimble35 7y ago
I think what you are identifying as incompetence is, in fact, well-aged malice. The greedy behavior that leads to the kind of inequality faced by today's society is now so well established that it has become hard to recognize for what
