"Generally, MAU [monthly active users] fluctuates over the course of a year, dropping in the summer months and during holidays" That seems to fit what's happening here. Longer term, firefox seems to have lost 15-20% of users

For me, a folding bluetooth keyboard was what made the difference. It really tilts my default time-to-fill behavior from consuming towards producing. I'd also recommend having a ring on the back of your phone, so you can prop it at a g

Book prefaces commonly acknowledge the libraries where the author has done research; sci-hub deserves to go there if they have been using it. It's a shame Elbakyan hasn't written a paper about sci-hub that people can cite. Many so

I do something like this, though generally just in the situations where I don't have my notebook. For me, it's a bit more adhoc than the suggested above. Recent uses: jotting down measurements of some furniture; writing for somebo

ꙮ Meet 'multi-ocular o'. This is the fever-dream of some 15th-century Russian scribe. He was writing about 'many-eyed seraphim', and decided that no ordinary O could do justice to them. Somehow, his doodle found its way

Nostalgia, really -- I have fond associations of these with childhood train journeys. I could just about imagine a genuine use case in some kind of hostile environment. You could probably make one of these very resistant to water/tempe

Suppose you are optimizing for the fastest average time to display a complete word/phrase. That means you will be limited by the slowest letter in each word. But the letters are flipping in parallel, which means you can use the time wa

Similarly, there is an early-90s Russian version of The Wizard Of Oz. Watching it with the help of Youtube's auto-translated subtitles was...quite an experience. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7gbwu0A3s8

"Lawn-mower pattern" is their new phrase for when people skim content left-to-right, then drop down to the next line and go right-to-left, until they get back to the beginning. I LOVE this. Why? Because it so perfectly replicates

From Cambridge (UK), you can take trains either to Liverpool or to Liverpool Street Station (in London). Refugees would often be released from a nearby detention center with a ticket and instructions to take the train to Liverpool. More tha

There are also accounting advantages to having fees explicitly charged, rather than baked into exchange rates. An explicit fee is something I can easily state as an expense for tax purposes.

1) lots of testing. Berlin alone is doing ~10k tests per week, which suggests about 200k/week nationwide. So they're picking up many more mild cases. 2) Many more cases among young people. Presumably partly because there's lo
