Iâ(TM)ve been using Dvorak for about 20 years now and thereâ(TM)s nothing better. If Iâ(TM)m stuck on a hotel pc or something that only has QWERTY I can still type ok, but for everyday use Dvorak is the best.
But I would like to eventually move to something more direct. I would like to type without using mechanical input. I think some of the research on detecting forearm muscle movement is interesting. And Iâ(TM)ve looked into schooling keynoards too but havenâ(TM)t made the jump.
Really though what would be best is to not have to spell out words at all. If I could just transcribe the words directly, sans letters, I would be happy. When we think we think in words but when we type we have to type each letter one after another even if we donâ(TM)t think of each letter. Typing is almost autonomic.
So the leap to transcribing words direct,y without letters is not so great.
In the meantime Iâ(TM)ll keep going on Dvorak.
If you offer the domain for sale then you will lose the domain in arbitration.
However, if the family first went to a lawyer to contact the NFL lawyer to negotiate then the family would have been fine.
I went through this with Sony years ago for a domain I had been using for a few years for a game that Sony later registered a trademark for. They tried to buy it anonymously which I ignored. They then sent me a threatening letter. I got a lawyer and the lawyer negotiated a sale to Sony.
I could have kept the domain if I wanted with minimal outlay to my lawyer, but I could not use it for commerce after Sony registered their trademark. I could have challenged the trademark but my lawyer said it could cost up to $250K to challenge it and I wouldn't be guaranteed of winning. But if I wanted I could keep the domain and continue using it but I could never use it for commerce. So, I decided to give it up to Sony for some ok money.
At night we buy practically free nuclear-generated electricity from France (canâ(TM)t turn the plant off at night and you have to do something with the electricity) and use it to pump water back up into the mountains. Then during the day we release it and generate electricity that we sell to Germany and France at high daytime prices.
Written recipes from the time period still exist. Most are for wealthy people but there are regular recipes. For the wealthy recipes, there's some interesting podcasts where they recreate the recipe:

As for the ingredients, I know that this is unusual in the USA, but here in Switzerland I still buy most of my food direct from the farm. Here in Zürich there are some city-subsidized working farms placed strategically around the city. My local farm is about a 5-minute pleasant walk through cow pastures. Every week I buy raw whole milk, raw butter, freshly laid eggs, organic vegetables, bread, cheese, etc, and meat from the cows I walk past every week. We make our own yogurt with the raw milk.
I think most people back then didn't really cook with recipes. They'd take whatever they got fresh that week and work with that. That's how my wife and I do it today too.
-A supermarket left open but unstaffed all day with no security would suffer amazing amounts of loss.
Sure, if you live in a shitty country. Here in Switzerland there are vegetable stands on the roadside by farms where you take your groceries and drop your money into a box, often just a wooden box.
If you're able to automate everything then it makes sense to manufacture closer to point of sale. The thing that would stop that though is that all of the chip suppliers are also in the area.
I've used Uber in a handful of developing countries including India and China. It's very convenient to be able to set your ride destination without having to speak with the driver, and it's nice to confirm that they took the proper route.
However, twice in India I got drivers that were on meth or some similar drug. In India (not sure about China) some people will buy a small fleet of cars and rent them out to drivers to drive for Uber. Uber already doesn't pay well and since these drivers are losing a cut to the car owner they have to drive long hours and so they take stimulants. This is no different than some of the 3-wheel taxi drivers who also take stimulants.
Even if you give the driver a low rating the car owner will just rent the car out to another driver.
What about monitoring when an uber driver offers me a French fry from their dinner? Or when they offer me a sip of their soda? Or when they give me a business card for their laundry detergent business? Or the driver that was alternating delivering Indian food and giving uber rides in their stinky car?
Uber just keeps getting tackier and tackier. They need to raise their rates to attract better quality drivers.
It's common for a successful company to buy out investors in an unsuccessful company as a way to move value out of the sham higher value company directly into the lower value company, because, of course, they'd rhe same investors. It's a way to get a pay off early without selling off your tesla stock.
Same thing happened with the YouTube buyout by Google. The VC firm that funded both companies wanted a payoff even though at the time the deal made no sense.
This is a Swiss airport, not in the u.s. The only place you get molested is the USA.
Someone at this airport has a thing for robots. A few years ago there was another robot that would answer people's public transportation questions in the luggage pick-up area.
Maybe not Switzerland, but the trend since the Snowden revelations has been to move data back to Europe from the US. European companies have been dropping hosting and networking companies In the America and it's estimated Cisco has lost around 30 billion in sales. Who knows how much hosting companies like Amazon have lost.
So, European companies and subsidiaries are moving their data back to their home countries. There hasn't been a Snowden-level event yet in the countries to force the companies to think about moving their data to Switzerland.
I work with multinationals in Europe and I've seen first-hand companies moving their hosting back to Europe but I haven't seen companies moving to Europe yet, other than Swiss companies.

Watching Vikings I was surprised when I heard old English (sounds a lot like German) and old French. I don't know enough about Scandinavian languages to know if they're speaking an old Scandinavian dialectic.
Now when I watch GoT and they start up in one of their made-up languages I just cringe. It sounds fake and is usually delivered stiffly.
Vikings has made GoT painful to watch for me.
Wait, I thought it was the Dutch that were cheap-ass stingy mofos. Now you're telling me it's the Danish too?

The words I've heard associated with google glass among my friends are 'douche', 'ass', 'moron', etc. These are friends that work as programmers and managers for google, facebook, apple, and adobe. I'd bet the sentiment outside of those companies by tech leaders is similar. I think it's interesting that the blowback for google glass that was in the general population is now in the tech population.
But ultimately the negative attitude to google glass won't matter. Three to five years from now the google glass equivalent will be nothing more than a small unnoticeable pin or grain of dust. Today we'll notice in a meeting when someone is wearing glass, but a few years from now we won't. (although people can record and replay meetings with their cellphone easily, but it's an active process)
I live in Switzerland. I was never quite happy with the european cloud computing providers I found because they were based in places like the uk, france, etc. Eventually I did find a swiss company but they were small and not feature-rich (compared to aws). I've worked with swisscom in the past on tech projects and they are extremely competent. I look forward to see what they come up with.
And related to this, I've been looking into investments that will take advantage of europeans moving their data back to europe and requirements/laws for purchasing non-u.s. networking equipment. I found some good investments for companies on the hardware side, and I think this might be a good investment on the computing side.
People, people, you need to step back and reexamine your basic assumptions about the question. They are not 'pennies', but rather 'oreos'.
-folds arms in triumph
Because the pennies add up to 5, and to be whole it should be 6? Or is whole milk 6% fat and 6/100 =.06 * 5 pennies =.30, or in other words 30%, which is why the genius kid picked B?
Or is it message about the deflation of the value of the dollar in international markets and the price of milk?

This is just stealth marketing for the reboot of the Short Circuit franchise.

Just how far are you on the autism spectrum rating scale?
Yeah, ok. Because your grandma doesn't need 100TB the rest of the world doesn't either...
damn it! Someone beat me to it...
That would be in the butt, Bob.
