Based on them being as successful as almost any young duo ever has been as the 1-2 stars on a team?
Look when other all time greats won their first title. The difference between Tatum/Brown and others at the same age isn't not winning a title. It's how consistently they've been in the mix.
Depends on the narrator. I love me an accent, but an accent generally means I have to cut the pace by 20-25%. Highly technical stuff as well. Otherwise, 2-2.5 is a pretty comfortable pace for me. I occasionally pause to take notes on nonfiction when there's something I really want to make sure I retain, but I can comfortably discuss the content of all the stuff I read that I way. You just bump it a little over time when it starts to feel slow.
It's distraction that gets you, though. If you start to pay attention to something else, you can very easily lose the plot.
lol I mention audiobooks as 90% of my reading (because I'm working through different stuff on my ereader) and no one has said anything yet.
I think there's value in reading with your eyes, but at the end of the day I have 50+ hours a week I can listen to audiobooks while doing other shit, and that's a lot more content. For most (nonfiction), my retention is pretty comparable with audio, too.
If you haven't tried adjusting the speed, it's surprising how quickly you adapt to it as a new normal.
I did my own script for it. Most were deleted, a few recent ones were left edited.
It does suck for someone who wanted anything useful I posted, but ultimately I think Reddit having it to draw any traffic is more harmful. I want them to lose their stranglehold now that they're abusing it.
“Most Americans, in fact, all Americans, are not used to doing this to go to Europe so there’s going to be lots of surprises at boarding gates with people being denied boarding over the first couple of weeks if this goes into effect.”
Maybe just require verification of the authorization to book international flight? If it says you need it to book a room, I have to imagine there's some way for airlines to verify it.
I don't like the other stuff they're doing but I don't think this is that unreasonable. They're not a messaging platform. They're a heavily organized forum that allows messaging. Deprecating an old messages/chat format and not thinking it's worth it to try to retroactively migrate over a decade of content when most users won't care at all isn't that unreasonable. There's a scale where, especially with legacy code in play, migrating old data is a serious undertaking that takes serious resources. If it's not something critical that most people use, you have to evaluate whether it's worth it.
Someone suggested Models of the Mind by Grace Lindsey. Since I'm always looking for more books on what makes us tick, I added it relatively quickly and got to it at the end of last week.
I thought it was decent. It covers a variety of different ways to investigate the brain, and does go into some technical detail. It gave me a few ideas to investigate further. I personally could have done without the significant chunk that covers the biographical details of the different scientists, though. It was integrated reasonably well, but I would have rather had more depth on the various topics. It doesn't go to the top of my books on intelligence/etc, but it was decent enough.
It mentioned Jeff Hawkins Thousand Brains (with some mention that there isn't a lot of evidentiary basis for the structures he's discussing in the real brain), so I grabbed that, too. I've read less of that one, and am taking it with a grain of salt, but i think some of his thoughts may ultimately translate to new approaches to AI down the line. I haven't read enough to suggest it or not, yet. His other book On Intelligence is similar and not bad though.
Nothing. Nothing should replace them.
You, as a website, unconditionally have zero right to know anything about what a user is doing on their computer.
Block behavior, not devices.
Ad blockers are prevalent because ads are a giant fucking malware vector.
It's almost issue free with the exception of the publishers explicitly blocking it because it doesn't allow them to add a rootkit to your system.

Confiscating banned items is not theft. They are fully and unconditionally entitled to remove distractions and your kid absolutely does not and cannot have a right to have a phone in class.
