They just did this to me, doubling the price without informing me. However, the card I have on file has expired. They are threatening to send it to a collection agency if I don't pay it.
Without humility, the context is likely to be distorted? What is this based on? Do you mean empathy? If only someone could have told Nabokov, he could have made something of himself…
How is pointing to kernel threads different than pointing to precise measures of brain activity? Even if it gets incredibly accurate, it doesn’t explain qualia. That is the so-called Hard Problem in philosophy.
What other anime do you have in mind? You're ignoring a lot of series to get that impression. Most anime are based on manga out of Shonen Jump, which follow Jump's guidelines of friendship, adventure, and overcoming obstacles through teamwork.
I agree with most of the points in this article and try to practice them, but I wish the author would have waited before offering his take. There are too many bloggers who read a self-help book or two, get really energized, and then, before testing the long-term results, suggest their readers to follow suit. Often, a few entries later, the blogger will then modify their take, which gives them more content for the blog, but seems like a waste of the reader’s time.
I feel fortunate enough to have grown up playing point and click games, like Myst, 7th Guest, and Fate of Atlantis, and keeping a notebook on my desk for clues to puzzles. I think it had a positive effect on my development, comparable to playing chess, which I also did.
I’m on my phone, but the text feels too compact. The paragraphs would look better with bigger margins.
Also, the top feels like a logo, navbar, and a hero all in one. I would work on it more as a logo and lose the “Welcome to” since the next sentence also functions as a greeting.
The green dot is an interesting touch, but presently looks like a status indicator/green light, that, on a black background, attracts the eye more than the content and the sign-up button.
I think form detection has to do with how the source PDF is saved, such as if the PDF is flattened. Also, this feature doesn't work with some other formats, like JPEGs. If it's not working, there is a text box tool in the markup toolbar.
Preview is one of the reasons I stick with Mac OS. I'm surprised how far behind other operating systems remain when it comes to viewing PDFs. Thank you!
I sometimes play the Metal Detector station on my SomaFM app, and I’ll save the songs I like on Spotify. I agree with some other sentiments on here of Doom/Stoner/Sludge metal being good background music. I still don’t know why Sleep’s Dopesmoker album was removed from Spotify. Minimal lyrics. Was my favorite background album for work.
Amazon and Youtube (and maybe other streaming services) also offer some of the movies for free with advertising. So the model hasn’t changed much from going to rent a movie at the store for a few bucks or watching it on cable tv, except you’re not paying for cable now.
I read something once that when you come across a link, your mind subconsciously hesitates whether or not to open it and that these thoughts detract from your focus on the material at hand.
I often wonder if it would be more beneficial for websites to transition to footnotes with all pertinent links at the bottom of the page.
Unfortunately the only park I’m near is very small, and people frequently blast music at it. I could commute to a larger park, but that wont work for daily walks.
I’ve noticed it’s much harder to walk in my city and generate ideas because there are spontaneous loud sounds and random visuals compared to when I lived more rurally. I’m not sure if there is a way I can reduce this … dark sunglasses and noise-cancelling headphones maybe, but that seems distracting in its own way and potentially dangerous.
Another approach China is taking that no one seems to mention here is taking over Taiwan by taking over its internal politics and media. This would allow them to do it legally by persuasion and voting, avoiding bloodshed. Granted, Hong Kong shows that this isn't a smooth process.
I like your ideas, but they are no less ludicrous. Based on your reasoning, Jane Goodall would never have attempted communication with gorillas nor would her work be of interest to societies of research.
