I'm desperately fucking sick of hearing how the minimum wage is supposed to be for kids, etc.
“No business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country.” -FDR 1933 statement on the National Industrial Recovery Act (NIRA)
“Do not let any calamity-howling executive with an income of $1,000.00 a day, who has been turning his employees over to the Government relief rolls in order to preserve his company’s undistributed reserves, tell you — using his stockholders’ money to pay the postage for his personal opinions — tell you that a wage of $11.00 a week is going to have a disastrous effect on all American industry.” -FDR 1938 Fireside Chat explaining support for minimum wage and Fair Labor Standards Act.
But OMG, it is so much easier for everyone to learn the new three words system in all the different languages than for me to learn a handful of numbers.
Yes, you understand. It isn't about you remembering your own address. Certainly easier to remember 3 words someone tells you than it is to remember lat/lon.
I have this problem as well with not just online courses but several video "tutorials". It's been numerous times recently that I've googled for for "how do I...." and the top results have been videos. I typically have some idea on how to do what I'm looking for, and I just need to verify some details. So now, Instead of quickly skimming a text (or even a slideset) to find the exact bits I'm looking for, I have to try to fast-forward a video to a point where it gets interesting.
I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who has the endless buffering when moving the time point (is there a word for this? Fast forward and rewind don't really seem to apply anymore).
Yeah. I can't imagine it would be too tough to implement something where you could click the mouse or hit the spacebar when coming across something unfamiliar and stop the playback or mark the spot and, when the the playback is done, display the original text with the troublesome bits highlighted. Hell, could generate wiki or dictionary links for those words automagically, too.
If you're trying to speed up your casual reading, how casual is it really?
I tried the little Spritz button / example thing on the spritz website and thought it was pretty cool. 450 wpm took a short time to get used to but was readable. The problems are with unfamiliar names. It seems like you'd have to train yourself to NOT slow down when coming across an unfamiliar word (for me it was company or city names, or names of people) or in that fraction of a second you're trying to process it you lose words.
As a fairly longtime reader and someone who has always kind of looked askance at frequent submitters, I'd like to take my head out of my ass and say thank you.

That is who you should feel compassion for, you jackass.
If smart people fuck up, they probably should have known better.

No.
They should be signing their comments and press releases with a PGP key to avoid confusion.
It is a business model predicated on censorship of content.
That's why I choose to use it. To censor content.
If it was being forced on me, that'd be a problem.
It isn't. Long live censorship!
Why do you not realize it isn't the quality of your friends' posts that is poor, but the quality of your friends?
You missed the reference to the Clinton email "scandal".
Stay classy.

The '33 statement on NIRA is actually pretty good. http://docs.fdrlibrary.marist....
Bored in your hotel, eh?

google "how do i ... -video" next time.
Man, that looks like a pretty cool game! How can I contribute?
There really isn't that fine a line between "stuff we have evidence for" and "stuff people believe without evidence".
Sometimes the latter becomes the former. Sometimes elements of the latter just slip away in the history. Lots of times, people just keep on believing.
I bet you're a lot of fun at parties.
Oh. Sorry.

Hop on! The bandwagon is great this time of year.
Michael J Fox has absolutely no Satoshi Nakamoto in him.

I think the tl;dr on this is Its ok that he is an asshole to people because it works for him. Awesome.
