It does seem to require more "processing" to take notes by hand than type it all in.
My trouble in school always was that my handwriting was not all that great and some of my notes later on were slightly less useful. It would have been nice to have the notes typed on the spot.
Maybe the answer is to learn shorthand.
Even now, years out of school, when I start a new job I have to take notes.......and fast, and what I have left is sloppy and incomplete.
I have no idea how much effort is required to learn shorthand though.
I remember being taught that.....back in the day, at a study skills workshop my campus counseling center sponsored.
The recommended taking thorough book notes before the lecture, then going to the lecture with questions about the material, using the lecture as a time to think about the material.
The United States would be in a lot better shape if people protected privacy, protected the freedom to assemble/protest, and fought campaign funding abuse ( Citizens United, etc ) the way the NRA fights for guns. It would be a lot more secure in freedoms as well as its physical safety.
I know that intelligence can coexist with bigotry, dogma, and hate, but I still find myself asking how such an intelligent, competant person could be wrapped up in being a bigot.
There is already social media software that can tell you where a phone is located.
Why don't the police just buy a batch of phones, install similar aps so the phones can be located, let the phones be "stolen" and bust up the organizers where the phones are collected?
Why should CEOs be any different than us with HR people Googling on our names, asking for Facebook passwords, and telling us what can/can not go on our personal web sites ( work related or not )?
Would you feel the same if Eich gave money to a group working to keep black people from marrying, Jews from becoming presidents, or women from becoming CEOs?
His freedom of speech wasn't taken away. He can still say what he wants and contributes to the causes he wants. It is a matter of other people exercising their freedom to do the same and choose a browser for any reason they prefer.
All of the people in the United States who own guns and guns way beyond hunting rifles and home protection haven't stopped the Supreme Court from passing a law the other day to allow billionaires to pool their money in political campaigns.
Guns.......and phones without kill switches will not protect your freedom.
I recently rewatched "Jeremiah" streaming online, and finally got to see the second season.
The tone of the story changed from season 1 to season 2. I enjoyed season 1 more, but I liked them both.
"Jeremiah" was a pretty decent show.
A Light Saber In Another Person's Hands?

Many of the top critical comments are similar to criticism I've heard about the classic "How To Win Friends And Influence People".
A light saber is the same tool in Darth Vader's hands or Luke Skywalker's hands.
It is all about intent and the state of mind you use it in.
Yes, a lying piece of shit narcissitic sociopath could use technique X to get what he wants, regarless of the consequences to everyone else.
Someone with a good heart can use technqiue X to remind himself to review a situation, find something positive, using to get something positive, something win-win done and make people feel better, out of a sincere desire for them, in the process.
Automation is threatening lots of low skilled jobs.
Every industry has some "fluff" in my opinion, things that are needed, but that happen to make money. Example, Inuit fighting tax code simplification so people will want to buy their software.
Is the elephant in the room that there are too many people to give quality jobs too, or any job? That productivity is so high that it isn't necessary to have everyone working to give everyone what they need?
Is the current paradign out of date?
If very few people have jobs, then there are less people to buy things, keep other people employed and give profits to owners.
I haven't been keeping up with the close, at least closely.
Is the problem that though the majority of Crimerians voted to merge with Russia, some people believe that vote was coerced with the threat of violence ( Russian troops on the border )?

Authorities can also penalize officers who just happen to turn away from a police infraction being commited.
The article makes sense to me.

I used them once or twice for non-private files. Glad I know this now. I don't plan to use dropbox anymore.
Good point, I usually watch Colbert on Hulu
A lose-lose situation.
Colbert's fans get deprive of The Colbert Report.
Colbert loses viewers from going on at a later time and having his humor constrained by the stricter rules of broadcast television.
It seems like Letterman's ( or Leno's ) job is a place where comedians losing steam go to wait to die.
Eh? Shutting down pedophiles would be a good thing just like shutting down an anti-gay bigot

60 Minutes shined brightly in the 1970s and hasn't even been a shadow of what it once was since.

I think a lot of people think about discrimination against gays differnetly.
What if this guy contributed money to a group working against blacks or Jews?
Why should CEOs be any different than us with HR people Googling on our names, asking for Facebook passwords, and telling us what can/can not go on our personal web sites ( work related or not )?

Only being an informed and involved citizen will.
I seem to remember reading a while back on Slashdot that countries other than the United States already have this and with good results.
Am I mistaken?

If very few people have jobs, then there are less people to buy things, keep other people employed and give profits to owners.
A few years ago when the supermarkets in my area began replacing cashiers with self checkout machines, there was no minimum wage debate going on.
Will not automation happen regardless?
Even if the cost of an employee is about the same as a machine wouldn't employers rather not have employees as machines are more under their control?
Also, while it is likely that Crimeans would have voted to secede even without Russian coercian,
Then why roll out their military? Same ends, they just look worse in the international community.
