Typed notes are completely inferior to written notes.
They're superior, there is no nuance missed to shortforms, nor are there any legibility issues later
Yes, it's easier to keep up with the lecture while typing, but they don't result in retention that's as good as real handwritten notes
Speak for yourself.
And, if you need any sort of diagram or drawing, those are a pain to embed during class.
If you're in a class that needs diagrams, keep a piece of paper and pencil. Its not hard.
Then there's the distraction that these devices represent to other students.
If you're using it to take notes, its no more a distraction than someone scratching away with a pen(cil), flipping pages digging around in their bag and mucking with whiteout / eraser.
Really, the best thing is to just learn how to take notes properly, you shouldn't have a problem taking notes in most classes
Again speak for yourself, I spent 20-years in school I know whats needed for notes. If you're not a fast writer and you're dealing with lots of writing its not a matter of "doing it properly".
Typing is a lot faster than writing, and you don't need to look at the screen. For me, I could never keep up with notes on the blackboard when writing so my focus would be attempting to take notes, not the lecture.
Sounds like the company is just filing for bankruptcy and will only pay a small amount of the fine. They should also seize personal assets from the CEO, high likelihood he is skating with millions of dollars made from this illegal behaviour over the past 5-years.
We've had over a century to build the oil/gasoline distribution systems to run our autos. Moving to something else is going to take a lot of time. It's going to be a change that happens on a generational basis, when most people alive don't remember running a car on petrol or diesel.
It didn't take anywhere near a century to build out the gas distribution system. Further, we aren't talking about building an electric grid, we're talking about adding charging points to the existing grid.
Yes, if you don't burn it. Nobody was talking about running the car on compressed methane like its a compressed air car. Burning till produces CO2, but a lot less of other types of emissions compared to petrol. I'm not saying they're the best options, but they're still options according to this statement.
Its not even just burning methane, its leaks. There are already large issues with the oil & gas industry and methane leakage.
And what would be your way of doing it? No big end date? Running the government like a company at the edge of bankruptcy "hu, which bills do I pay today, which can I postpone, when comes the next money in...?" That style of governing?
I expect them to start with a concrete plan that begins to change in the near term. Nuclear is a perfect example of this, they don't announce that 20-years from now someone will build a plant. No, we start locating a site and begin the procurement process.
Distant. but a realistic date. First, it sends a signal to the auto industry that they better start planning for a petrol/diesel phase out. Second, it gives time to build the infrastructure to support whatever new fueling method ends up winning out.
If we think about the lifespan of a vehicle being ~15-years, this deadline still has combustion cars on the road ~40-years from now. That is pretty slow progress when this announcement is being portrayed as some sort of forward change worth lauding. I'm not even a believer in Tesla.
Now one thing to point out, they're not talking about eliminating ICEs. You very well could have an ICE running on methane, propane or alcohol for example and those would be allowed. So a interim mandate of hybrids or some particular technology is shortsighted too.
Methane is a particularly bad greenhouse gas and while propane and alcohol produce less emissions both are still not great.
There was an interesting documentary called Pandora's Promise a few years ago which talks about it. A lot of it is FUD, many of the anti-nuclear groups pretending to be grass roots efforts are secretly funded by the fossil fuel & coal industry.
I'm a little surprised the date they've chosen is 20+ years in the future, though its fairly typical for governments to make grandiose decisions that they will be in no way accountable for.
I'd be much more impressed if there were interim dates requiring all vehicles be hybrids, then plugin hybrids before eliminating combustion engines.

Are you claiming you wouldn't be happy if a transportation company claimed instantaneous travel, cloned you, moved the clone then killed the original?

Produce a bunch of garbage and hope people think its a positive.

What has the way how to produce power to do with a law that bans the sale of ICE cars in 22 yours?
Are you drunk? You brought it up - its called an analogy.
Unfortunately self driving tech costs more than the retail cost of vehicles in India.
The company owns them, it charges a fee for you to take it for a period of time. This is called renting.

I wouldn't be surprised. There are a number of sites suspiciously submitted by anonymous users e.g.:
Nah, VirtualBoy was actually VR. Pokemon Go is ACR, augmented copy of reality. They were adding to a copy of reality shown on a screen.

Presumably they'll ban registration

Shut up, you're holding it wrong!
Its not just negative stories, the Silicon Valley press fall over themselves to be first in line to write the blow job pieces.
the first phase...
The manufacturers could use AOSP.
Well, there is a free version without any of the Google stuff if the phone manufacturers don't want Google...
He could be onto something, if add-ons pull text from Wikipedia for a description and don't cache it well...
Its usually the expensive products that aren't reparable.
I'm not sure if it was the grandparents point, but even Huawei has limited market penetration outside of China.
